♂?，，

  Xia Xue is indeed a girl who is likable at first glance. She's beautiful, passionate, outgoing and kind, like a red rose that you can't help but love. But when you muster up the courage to get close to her, you unexpectedly discover the thorns hidden on the stem.

  But Taozi is a girl who shines in front of people at first sight. She is gentle, introverted, tender and pure, like a lily blooming in the mountains, so ordinary yet outstanding, she attracts people involuntarily, and when you get closer, you can smell her fragrance.

  My mother now has a good impression of Xia Xue, and Xia Xue's mouth is sweet enough to call my mom "Auntie", making her heart bloom. The two quickly became close friends who could talk about anything, chatting and laughing while pointing at me secretly. I guess my mom must have told those embarrassing stories from when I was a kid again, like how I still wet the bed at six years old.

  After three rounds of drinks and five dishes, everyone had drunk enough. My dad got up, staggering a bit, to pay the bill, then took a taxi with us to school, reminding us: "Whatever you do, don't let the teacher find out that you've been drinking, be smart about it!" My mom pulled me aside and whispered: "Xia Xue is really not bad, you should treat her well. Of course, don't neglect your studies. I just asked, Xia Xue's grades are better than many others, ask her questions and learn from her! Besides, Xia Xue's parents are civil servants, seize this opportunity to make a good impression for the future..."

  "Enough, mom." I hastily stopped her from continuing: "Quickly go and support my dad, he's had a lot to drink." My mom then rushed over to my dad, scolding him "Why did you have to drink so much?" while carefully supporting him. My mom isn't very educated, her thinking is also typical of a peasant mentality, hot-tempered but with a soft heart, overall still my good mom.

  Dad and mom took a car back to Dongguan Town, while we drove to the south of the city high school. The taxi stopped at the school gate, and our group got out and walked towards the teaching building. These people are all very sharp-eyed, deliberately leaving me and Xiaoxue behind. I looked at Xiaoxue's red face and said softly: "Don't mind, my mom is just that kind of person, so shallow."

  Xia Xue smiled and said: "No way, I think Aunt is great. If my mom were as open-minded as Aunt, that would be awesome."

  I know she was talking about my mom agreeing to our love and wanting us to get engaged, and I remembered her crying and running after Jing's car yesterday, as well as the words "Wang Hao, I'll wait for you, I didn't go with Su Xiaobai" - that emotional confession made a wave of tenderness surge up in my heart. Even if it comes with thorns, I'm willing to take them on, even if I get hurt and scarred, I'm willing!

  I couldn't help but want to hold her hand, but just as I touched the tip of her finger, Xia Xue gently shook it off.

  "What's wrong?" I asked her in puzzlement.

  "Wang Hao." Xia Xue said, "From now on, don't listen to rumors. I'm not with Su Xiao Bai. He came to find me and said he wanted to get back together, but I didn't agree. I know that the one I love is not him. It's true that the day in the small garden, he was the one who dumped me first, but even if he hadn't, I would still have broken up with him because by then I already knew who I liked."

  Listening to Xia Xue's confession, I felt infinite tenderness and emotion in my heart, and couldn't help but reach out to hold her hand.

  But Xia Xue shook her head again and continued, "Wang Hao, I know I'm not good at this, getting angry every other day. But isn't it just because I want you to coax me? I like the feeling of being pampered, I like the feeling of being spoiled. Isn't this what a girl desires most? Wang Hao, why can't you give it to me?"

  Last time we had a falling out, I coaxed Xia Xue several times, but seeing no effect, I thought of solving the wheat problem first and then ignored her for a few days. It turned out that she was still resentful about this matter. I said with a full apology: "Sorry, those few days I was busy planning with Ye Zhan to harvest the wheat, thinking that after solving the wheat problem, we can be together at ease."

  Xia Xue nodded: "I know. I heard that when the wheat was cut with one knife and taken away by the well car, I understood everything. I only knew what big things we were busy with and what sacrifices and efforts we made for each other. It's because of this that I became more determined to be together, and I chased after the well car in front of the teachers and students without caring about anything, just wanting to tell you that no matter when, I will always wait for your return, I want to be with you!"

  What a lovely rose with thorns, yet intoxicating! My blood rushed up, and I couldn't help but stretch out my arms to hug her in the schoolyard. Xia Xue took a step back, dodging my passionate and emotional embrace.

  "Wang Hao." Xia Xue said word by word: "Tell me, do you like peaches or not?"

  I was stunned, and I never thought Xia Xue would ask such a question.

  "I saw him hugging her." Xia Xue said sadly: "Wang Hao, do you know? In her eyes, there is helplessness, reluctance, shame, and love. Do you know? That's the expression of loving someone but can't be with her. Wang Hao, so I want to ask, who do you like, me or Taozi?"

  I opened my mouth but didn't speak. This problem that I had been thinking about in the police station all night still had no answer now.

  "Can't answer, huh?" Xia Xue said: "I'm so angry with myself for discovering this. Before, I thought being with Taozi was just to annoy me. Even that time when I spent the whole day writing Shakespearean notes for Taozi, it only made me feel a little resentful and jealous. But this time, I found out that my feelings for Taozi are different."

  My heart gradually cooled down, Xia Xue's sharp eyes pierced through me, I was like a naked person in front of her**, unable to find anything to cover myself, letting her see through me bit by bit.

  "Why?!" Xia Xue's tone became even more sorrowful: "Why did I have to discover this unbearable, unacceptable thing just when I decided to be with him no matter what?"

  I am speechless and have nothing to say, so I can only sigh and lower my head.

  "Wang Hao, you're right." Xia Xue continued: "I'm with Su Xiaobai, I don't care how many girlfriends he has, it's because I simply don't love him. When a person loves another, they hope to possess them one hundred percent and will not allow anyone else to share or divide that love. Wang Hao, I love, so I cannot accept loving someone else."

  "So?" I felt my heart slowly tearing apart.

  "So." Xia Xue said: "We'd better not be together for the time being. Wang Hao, wait until you've thought it through and figured out who you love, me or Taozi, then go find one of us."

  Xia Xue's words completely extinguished all my previous enthusiasm. What Xia Xue said was right, I haven't thought it through clearly who I love, and being with anyone would be hurtful to this girl.

  Xia Xue took a deep breath and said, "Wang Hao, I hope the final choice is me. I hope to be able to say with a clear conscience that you only love one person, me. I'm waiting for that day to come!"

  After finishing speaking, Xia Xue walked quickly towards the teaching building, leaving me standing alone in a daze.

  Just like watching Momoko's back, I watched Natsumi's back with a similar sense of loss and sadness, feeling almost unable to breathe.

  When I was being taken to the police station, I thought I had regained everything. Taozi was still there, Xiaxue was also there, and Erlang Wang might not have cheated me. When I left the police station, I realized that Erlang Wang had indeed cheated me, then Taozi left, and Xiaxue followed suit.

  I am alone again.

  Life is really damn fun because life always plays me.

  From having to losing, it's just a matter of one day. Heaven is fair and will never let greedy people have everything.

  I'm that greedy person, can't bear to give up Xia Xue, can't put down Taozi, and still yearn for Er Guang Wang to really come and save me. A person like me deserves to lose everything, deserves to be deceived by Er Guang Wang, and deserves to be abandoned by Taozi and Xia Xue.

  I walked on campus with a wry smile, even though the class bell had already rung, I temporarily didn't plan to return to class.

  As a person who has just been released from the police station, even if I skip one class, what will the teacher say? Moreover, the head teacher may not know that I have been released yet, and he may still think that I have been expelled. After all, the police station's explanatory materials have not been handed over to the school, and the school has not posted a unified external announcement yet.

  My mind was in a mess, walking around the school in circles, occasionally brushing shoulders with students who were having physical education class, and immediately making a shocked face, apparently recognizing that I was the student who had defeated Mai.

  I'm expressionless, as cold as frost. Xia Xue's question has been swirling in my mind all along. Who am I actually in love with? Why don't even I know the answer? Is there anyone else who has encountered such an absurd problem?!

  About halfway through the lesson, I quietly returned to the classroom. Unexpectedly, there was no teacher. When I walked to my seat, I found that my desk had vanished. My classmates were staring at me, and I stared at my empty seat.

  "Where is my desk?" I asked Liu Zihong beside me.

  "The class teacher took it away." Liu Zihong said timidly: "He said that anyway, he would be expelled..."

  My anger surged up, I was already in a bad mood, and you still came at me with this!

  "Gong Ning, Li Mu, Liu Zihong, Ou Jiahao!" I bellowed: "Get the lectern down for me!"
