Chapter Eleven: The Incident That Made Waves Across the Four Seas

  This weekend was spent at Xiao Yunyun's birthday party on Sunday, which was a crushing defeat for Su Can, as anyone who attended the party saw Chen Lingshan walking out of the living room and onto the balcony, while Su Can remained hidden in the shadows, his expression unseen.

  At this moment, what kind of expression Su Can has in his heart is no longer important.

  Many people lamented that Chen Lingxuan ultimately remained the unbreachable fortress, towering high in the clouds. Su Can, who was considered to have the most potential by everyone, was also ruthlessly smashed onto the beach by the overwhelming waves.

  Gao Fan's face lit up with a mixture of surprise and schadenfreude as he heard about the incident, thinking to himself that he hadn't misjudged Chen Lingshuang after all. He thought that someone as proud and arrogant as Chen Lingshuang would never settle for someone like Su Can, and at the same time, he was relieved that he hadn't made a rash confession. For someone like Chen Lingshuang, you had to take things slow and steady, without any impatience or haste. Any misstep could scare her off like a startled bird, making her disappear in an instant. Su Can's failure meant that Gao Fan still had a chance, and he believed that with his gradual approach, there would come a day when he would firmly grasp Chen Lingshuang's heart and soul.

  Afterwards, Xiao Yunyun returned to the living room from helping her mother in the kitchen and heard about what had happened. She seemed a bit unnatural, and even when sending everyone off at the end of the banquet, her face was still somewhat pale.

  But everything that happened on this weekend night for Su Can was more of a relief from his past than a failure in love.

  In everyone's heart, there will be a beautiful expectation and regret for the things that have been missed. They always think "if only they could do it again" with regret and disappointment about their past choices. It is the same for Su Can.

  In the later years, on every laborious night when he suddenly couldn't sleep, he would occasionally think of the past and what had gone before. He also thought that if life could be relived from the start, those unrequited first loves, the choices that slipped away, those people who could have been kept but suddenly left, whether he would still stretch out his hand to keep their fleeting figures in his life.

  Life is like a game of chess, you can only move forward, fiercely fighting, every step is crucial, experiencing all kinds of changes, but you cannot take back your moves.

  So we will never know how different our lives and outcomes would have been if we had made a different choice back then.

  But Su Can did, for Chen Lingxuan, a girl who used to be inferior because of her own insignificance in the face of his brilliance, he finally made a long-overdue, never-before-made confession in this opportunity to rewind time.

  Life is like a dialectical question before it reaches a conclusion, you never know what you can do and what you can't do, whether what you believe in can be achieved, and whether what you worry about will happen one after another.

  Su Can used a second chance to prove his love that he had stretched out his hand but couldn't grasp.

  However, not everyone has the chance to go back in time and hold hands with their first love again, but he did it, which is already remarkable.

  Although it still makes me a little nervous, but more of it has stirred up a sense of relief in my gut.

  Because there is no regret left, so there is nothing to pursue.

  Even Soo-chan, who got out of bed on Monday, had a inexplicably bright feeling in his heart, as if it was only after yesterday that he was truly reborn. He could finally make a relatively clean break with the past that had troubled him for many years without hesitation.

  In the morning, Su Xuan faced himself in the mirror with his deep brown eyes and smiled slightly. After all, he was a mature person now, who could face many events in life with a different attitude, gaining inspiration and hope from them.

  It was also this rebirth experience that brought him a more excellent mind.

  But it was clear that despite Su Can's desire to keep a low profile, life did not give him such an opportunity. The incident at the birthday party of Xiao Yunyun, a classmate in Class 3, spread with a terrifying speed among the students of No. 1 Middle School in this small city.

  Even when Su Can was sitting on the No. 8 bus going to Municipal First Middle School, there were two little girls pointing at him along the way. At this time, the bus suddenly stopped, and the noise of the engine decreased, and their whispers stood out, "Hey, that's Su Can from the high school department..."

  That's how fast good news travels slowly and bad news travels quickly, no need to use a day to describe it, just overnight, Su Can felt like he was known by everyone.

  Of course this is an exaggeration, most of the students in the car still don't know each other, but after today it's hard to say.

  Everyone in the grade looked at me with a strange expression, and when I walked into the small circle of people gathered from several classes, their faces immediately lit up with excitement that could be described as brilliant.

  Xue Yiyang, who had never missed a chance to play cards with Xiong Fei, surprisingly listened attentively to the lecture. However, halfway through the first class, he suddenly turned his head without warning and winked at Su Can, "I heard... you confessed to Chen Lingxuan yesterday!"

  "Cough!" "Cough!" Su Can let out a dry cough and was choked by his own saliva.

  Xue Yi Yang patted his shoulder with a flattering smile, "Brother, tell me about it, I've never really heard the whole story..."

  The English teacher couldn't bear it anymore, her hand holding the chalk pointed at the empty space, "Su! Xueyiyang! Shut up!"

  The whole class burst into laughter, Tang Yu and Chen Lingxuan simultaneously turned their heads from the front row seats, the former looking at Su Can with some inexplicable expression, the latter's gaze was obviously flirtatious, but her cheeks were red, apparently regarding last night's rumors, today many friends came to ask her for confirmation...

  Su Can smiled at Chen Lingxuan's gaze, naturally not wanting Chen Lingxuan to bear the burden because of last night's events.

  Chen Lingshan was visibly stunned by Su Can's smile at this moment, and quickly turned her head back, but her cheeks were inexplicably hot, and she couldn't express the taste in her heart.

  This incident quickly made Su Can the anti-example for all boys who wanted to pursue Chen Lingxuan, on another hand, it also disappointed some girls who had a crush on Su Can. From now on, even if someone wants to pursue Su Can, they will inevitably be inferior to Chen Lingxuan in terms of status.

  However, contrary to Su Can's expectations, Chen Ling Shan not only did not deliberately distance herself from Xue Yi Yang and his group after the incident at Xiao Yun Yun's house, but instead became even more familiar with them than before. Even during class breaks, she would intentionally wait for the two of them, and occasionally during physical education classes, she would generously treat them to drinks and have someone bring them over.

  At this time, Chen Lingxuan would often stand at one end of the playground, sipping cold mineral water from her small red mouth, her eyes scanning in the direction of Su Can under the camphor tree with a seemingly unintentional gaze.

  At this moment, white clouds are flowing, and the ground is covered with bright light spots.
