He Lele looked out the window, changed the medicine for the wounds on her left hand and right arm, changed her clothes, took her keys, wallet, phone, and headphones, and went out, completely forgetting Li Yiquan's reminder.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>She had chosen to rent a house near the university because she liked the free resources of the university, especially open universities like Dong× University, where there were more \"resources\" to utilize.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>For example—the swing. This kind of facility that children like to play with, and adults... also like but are afraid of being laughed at when playing, wouldn't attract any attention at all when played in a university. Many romantic love dramas like to use swings as props. Think about it carefully, why?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Swinging on the swing while listening to music, and thinking about this kind of meaningless question, He Lele's heart calmed down quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Hold on tight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>A man's sexy, magnetic voice suddenly sounded behind her, and He Lele turned her head in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>A stranger's face!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But why was it Ruan Lin's voice?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The strange man kicked the tire He Lele was sitting on with moderate force. He Lele gripped the chains on both sides tightly, staring at the strange man with full of doubts.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ruan Lin's voice, Ruan Lin's eyes, Ruan Lin's... body.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Ruan Lin?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The man smiled very happily. \"It's me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Life is just ending one stage, starting one stage, then ending one stage, and starting a new one~~~ As long as you are heading in the direction of happiness, even if you take a detour, you will definitely reach the shore you want to go to~~\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Love you all!!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Thanks to the girls who have never left!!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Thanks to all the girls who left messages~ voted~~ supported me~ and sent gifts~~ Girls, you've worked hard~~ Thank you all for the happiness you've given~~~\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>☆, (8 Fresh Coins) Chapter 230: Finally Discovered\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He Lele turned her head and didn't speak. Ruan Lin, wearing a silicone mask, kicked the swing lightly from time to time behind her, letting her swing again in the autumn wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Time flowed quietly. The campus was noisy for a while after class. If students passing by the swing happened to notice the two, they would often take a few more looks. Although the atmosphere looked a bit strange, everyone thought—that must be a couple.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Once the autumn sun tilted west, it fell very quickly. The sunset was beautiful but hurried, as if passing through the human world.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Okay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hearing this, Ruan Lin stopped his feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He Lele stood up and took off her headphones; her phone had long since run out of battery.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Turning around to gaze at the tall and toned man in front of her, those eyes full of emotion were like controlling invisible shackles, binding her, making her difficult to move and unable to speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Going to eat?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He Lele shook her head and walked slowly toward a three-story building in the distance. Ruan Lin followed her silently. When he reached the bottom of the building, he shifted his gaze to the sign at the entrance—Student Activity Center.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Room after room of club activities, instrument rooms, dance rooms, small auditoriums, photography studios... face after face of youthful, beautiful, and vibrant students, star after star of the campus who were talented, confident, and free. He Lele led Ruan Lin floor by floor, looking floor by floor, and finally walked onto the rooftop, overlooking the campus under the night and the students under the lights.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Ruan Lin, can you tell me, what exactly do you like about me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ruan Lin walked behind her, reached out to her long hair, and finally tucked his hand into his own pants pocket.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"My brother asked the same question.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"...Then how did you answer?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ruan Lin remained silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"See the girls downstairs? Compared to them, I am ordinary—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ruan Lin reached out and pressed on her lips. \"Everything you want to say, I have thought about. Why you, why I can't let go, why I can't forget, why it hurts like crazy but I still want it, why... even knowing it will make you unhappy, I still want to appear in front of you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He Lele took a half-step back and turned her face away, but Ruan Lin grabbed her hand and pressed it against his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Because even if you don't want it, it has long been yours.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Under her palm was a rhythmic slight vibration, and in her ears was his firm and steady declaration—God really played a big, big joke on her.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After she silently accepted the fate of being a plaything for three months, after she had no hope for love or marriage, these proud sons of heaven had successively said they fell in love with her and wanted her.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Pulling her hand back, \"Whatever you want.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>They would get tired of it sooner or later.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Wait.\" Seeing her about to leave, Ruan Lin hurriedly grabbed her arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He Lele groaned in pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"What's going on? And your left hand!\" Pulling up her sleeve to see the gauze on her arm, Ruan Lin's brows were almost twisted into a knot.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"It's nothing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Nothing? Do you know that saying those two words makes me want to tie you up and hold you in my hand every moment?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He Lele was stunned for a moment and held up her wrists to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Are you trying to kill me with anger?\" Ruan Lin glared at her angrily, but as soon as he saw her innocent and helpless expression, the anger in his eyes disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving only full of heartache and love.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Looking at Ruan Lin's eyes, He Lele couldn't help but sigh in her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He was actually... a very simple person. Rough, arrogant, overbearing, stubborn, proud, willful, simple, direct... If it weren't for the three months in the apartment, would she have fallen in love with him?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>His large palm wrapped around hers and brought it to his lips for a light kiss. After kissing, he laughed first. \"I never thought I would do this kind of thing outside the set.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>A strange face, a similar smile, as if infected by his smile, she also slightly raised the corners of her mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>She didn't know. What should she do. What could she do.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Is there medicine at home? Let me take a look.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"No need, I've changed the medicine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Lele—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Ruan Lin! The wound on my left hand was cut by myself, for Ji Jie, so that he would know that his forcing me was far more painful than a knife wound.\" He Lele paused. \"Do you want me to cut the other hand?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"...I would rather you cut off my hand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He Lele blinked, forcing back the tears that didn't know why they were rising. \"I'm leaving, please, don't follow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The night road for one person, so long, so long, why still couldn't see the location of home? Where was home?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Finally walking downstairs, He Lele looked up, the sixth floor was pitch black. Was Ji Jie not back yet? Walking upstairs quietly, taking out the key to open the door, reaching out to the switch on the wall—\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>A cold hand!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Almost in an instant, He Lele realized what she had touched!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Ruan Lin! Help—mm...\" Her mouth was roughly covered, and her whole body was lifted from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Shut up if you don't want to die!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>While struggling, He Lele didn't try to pry the hand off her mouth, but struggled to take out her phone and threw it at the window with all her might!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Clatter! Clang! A huge noise rang out.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Damn it! Knock her out!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>No! Don't! Ruan Lin! Ruan Lin... Ji Jie... Mu Wei... Xiu...\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Before losing consciousness, He Lele suddenly discovered one thing—all along, she hadn't been rejecting them, she was just... afraid of becoming dependent on them.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But the thing she feared most... seemed to have already happened...\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Lele! Lele!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ruan Lin's voice?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Ruan... Lin...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"It's me, it's okay now, it's okay!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Ruan Lin...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I'm here, I'm here, it's okay, it's okay, be good, don't be afraid.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Ruan Lin!\" Tears poured down like rain.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Admit it, you are just a coward, you are just a weakling who has always hoped for someone to protect, someone to love, and someone to rely on!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Feelings are really an interesting thing~ I had a colleague at my previous job, a very good girl, many people with good conditions pursued her, but she didn't choose any of them, didn't even try dating. As a result, a boy came to apply for a job a year later, saw her, confessed that day, and she agreed that day. Three days later, the boy got the job and had nowhere to live, so he moved directly into her place...\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Like, what exactly do you like about someone?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Liking naturally has a reason, but if you really say it clearly and thoroughly, I'm afraid the purity of the word \"love\" will be lost.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Many times, it's just a feeling—\"it's this person.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>May all the girls who have lovers be bathed in love forever~ May the girls who haven't found their lovers meet that person soon!
