Chapter 2281: Won't Give Up This Affection

Before Ling Xiaoxiao could come up with another plan, Jiang Motian said to Qingkong, "I'm sorry to trouble you with taking Xiaoxiao."

"No problem."

Seeing this, Ling Xiaoxiao was about to speak.

But she discovered that Li Moning was giving her a hint.

Having received the hint, Ling Xiaoxiao had no choice but to remain quiet and leave with Qingkong.

Once those two were gone, Li Moning felt the air pressure around her drop a little.

The sense of unease in her heart grew even stronger.

Li Moning sat in the car with Jiang Motian, feeling anxious and uneasy.

But until the car had driven halfway, Jiang Motian showed no intention of speaking.

Finally, Li Moning could no longer hold back and took the initiative to speak: "Sister, is there something you want to say?"

"Is it that obvious?"

"Yes, very obvious!"

"Actually, you were also very obvious."

"Huh?"

Li Moning was completely bewildered.

She did not understand what her sister meant by saying that.

Jiang Motian did not explain either; she just continued driving.

After a short while, Li Moning's expression suddenly stiffened.

She asked Jiang Motian cautiously: "You... did you see that I..."

"Like Qingkong."

Jiang Motian helped Li Moning finish her unfinished sentence directly.

And this sentence successfully made Li Moning's face turn pale.

Her little thoughts today had indeed been expressed very obviously.

If Jiang Motian had still pretended not to see it, she felt it wouldn't have made sense.

She knew that Li Moning's mood was very chaotic at the moment, so Jiang Motian did not continue speaking, but instead gave Li Moning time to adjust her mood.

After a long while, Li Moning spoke in a muffled voice: "Sister, will you support me?"

Jiang Motian neither agreed nor denied it.

She only said: "You are still too young, and there are too many variables in the future. Take Qingkong for example; he won't stay in one place to develop forever. When he leaves, what will you do?"

Li Moning had never considered that Qingkong might leave.

Hearing this hypothesis, she was first dazed, and then suddenly anxious: "He will leave?"

"Of course, this is just a stopover for him. Once he finds new inspiration, he will start his next journey. When that time comes, what do you plan to do?"

"I, I will wait for him!"

"But is Qingkong willing to let you wait?"

Li Moning's lips moved, and she was about to speak.

But when the words reached her lips, she realized she had no idea how Qingkong would choose.

She didn't know, but Jiang Motian was very clear: "For someone with his personality, waiting is a burden."

A burden...

These two words deeply stung Li Moning.

She had never thought that her affection and waiting could also become a burden.

"Momo, do you still remember a sentence I told you before?"

Jiang Motian had said many things to Li Moning.

But at this moment, Li Moning immediately thought of one of them: "You must become excellent to let others see you."

"Mm, I hope you not only remember it but can also achieve it."

Jiang Motian could not control matters of the heart.

She only hoped that Li Moning could be strong.

Only by becoming strong could she face all kinds of situations.

Li Moning silently recited this sentence in her heart, and from it, found a sliver of strength.

A moment later, she turned her head to look at Jiang Motian: "Sister, did you discover long ago... that I like Qingkong?"

"Mm, I noticed the signs last time when you were performing in the play at school."

"What, it was that early!?"

Li Moning first had a look of shock on her face.

And then, slowly, she began to feel embarrassed.

She had originally wanted to hide her secret well.

Who would have thought...

It had been exposed long ago!

Seeing that Li Moning had not spoken for a long time and looked very embarrassed, Jiang Motian comforted her: "Actually, it is very normal to like someone at your age, but you must protect yourself well and don't let yourself get hurt."

"Can this... be controlled?"

"Of course, don't fall into it completely, keep some space for yourself, and love yourself more; don't lose your direction because of love."

The things Jiang Motian said were somewhat hollow.

She didn't know if Li Moning had understood, so she asked: "Can you... understand what I mean?"

"I understand. Even if he doesn't like me, it doesn't matter. I can keep this affection in my heart, and when I am outstanding enough, I will confess to him again!"

The more Li Moning spoke, the louder her voice became.

By the end, her face was once again radiating brilliance.

But Jiang Motian was speechless.

She... did not mean that at all.

How did Li Moning interpret it in that direction?

Jiang Motian had a bit of a headache.

Exhaling a long breath, she tentatively said, "Well, time is long, we don't have to hang ourselves on one person."

"But when you truly like someone, your eyes can't hold anyone else!"

"You are still too young..."

Before Jiang Motian could finish, Li Moning interrupted her.

Then she continued, "Sister, are you trying to say that there are too many variables in the future? But I don't care about the future; as for me right now, I've decided!"

Li Moning was full of energy at this moment.

She had once again found a direction for her efforts.

Seeing her like this, Jiang Motian knew that whatever she said would be in vain.

Sighing softly, Jiang Motian had no choice but to say, "Fine, your future, you decide."

Li Moning could feel that her sister did not quite approve of her decision.

But...

Her sister was not opposing it either.

To Li Moning, this was good news!

Monday morning, the campus was bustling.

On the young faces, there was youthful vigor.

Li Moning, walking among them, looked like she hadn't woken up yet.

In reality, she indeed hadn't woken up.

Yesterday, she had chatted on the phone with Ling Xiaoxiao until very late.

After hanging up, she kept thinking about her worries and couldn't fall asleep no matter what.

She only managed to doze off when it was almost dawn.

At this moment, her brain felt like mush as she walked toward the classroom while yawning.

Passing through the forest path, Li Moning prepared to enter the teaching building.

But she almost collided head-on with someone coming from the opposite direction.

"Sorry."

Li Moning apologized listlessly and was about to walk around the other person.

But she didn't expect the other person to say, "Don't go yet, I happen to have something to notify you about."

This voice...

Li Moning looked up and saw Liu Sui standing in front of her with her arms crossed.

With Qingkong not around, Liu Sui had returned to her reserved appearance.

She didn't like to smile much either; she lowered her eyes and said, "Find time to go to the academic affairs office and change your elective class."

Confirming that the other person wasn't joking, Li Moning frowned and asked, "Why?"

"The number of people in your class is too high, and a few need to be transferred out."

"Then why is it me?"

"The list was drawn randomly; I hope you can support the school's work."

"Sorry, I can't. Teacher Qingkong was invited by me in the first place, I don't want to transfer out!"

It was precisely because Qingkong was invited by Li Moning that Liu Sui found her an eyesore.

Qingkong... should belong to everyone.

How could he be on intimate terms with a little brat like Li Moning?

Liu Sui's reach could not extend outside the school.

But within this school, she would not allow Li Moning to be arrogant!

Kicking her out of the Photography Class was just to give her a taste of trouble first!

"That..."
