Chapter 42: Youth Campus Chapter 15

  Yan Yu's heart went from initial pain to final emptiness, an emptiness as if dead.

  The private room was eerily quiet, the scene seemed to have been paused, everyone's eyes were red and silent, except for occasional sniffling.

  Seven years ago, what were they doing seven years ago? Writing vigorously on the examination room, waiting for admission notices at home, or rushing around to gather, celebrate and revel?

  It's really hard to imagine, Suoluo was so young at that time, and had to go through such terrible pain and hardship. Car accidents, surgery, long-term bedridden and treatment, just listening to it makes people feel chilled to the bone.

  She could have avoided all this if it weren't for one person, a boy she liked who didn't like her back. For him, she chose to give up her own future and fought recklessly.

  As people get older, they see more of the fleeting nature of relationships and become increasingly disillusioned with love. But in this moment, everyone's innermost being is stirred by a primal reverence for and yearning for love.

  Suoluo, in front of love, I am inferior to you, what you can do, I cannot.

  This is perhaps everyone's heartfelt voice and helplessness, as well as their most sincere wishes.

  Sulolo, you must be happy!

  Extracting themselves from their own thoughts, the crowd finally remembered to pay attention to Yan Yu, that unfortunate protagonist, and wondered how he would face this emotion.

  Yan Yu stood there stupidly, not moving from start to finish, his eyes were empty and his face was slightly twisted. Unlike what they thought, he would be hysterical or crying bitterly.

  "Yan Yu, what do you think? Tell me. " Mr. Li asked first, seeing Yan Yu had no reaction, he added: "It's not that I'm forcing you to respond, but rather according to your own thoughts, not out of guilt, but whether you really have feelings for her or not. If it's forced, Luo Luo wouldn't want it either, otherwise she wouldn't have kept it from you all these years."

  Yan Yu still hadn't heard anything, standing there like a statue.

  "Yan Yu, say something!"

  "Yeah, if you're gonna pretend like nothing's wrong, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

  "Are you a man? Give some reaction! Others have almost risked their lives for you, and you're still so indifferent. Don't you have any conscience?"

  Everyone is indignant, you speak one word and I speak one sentence, urging Yan Yu to show his attitude.

  Yan Yu remained motionless.

  At this time everyone began to notice that something was wrong with him.

  "Yan Yu, Yan Yu, what's wrong with you? Don't scare the teacher!" Teacher Li panicked and nervously patted his face, trying to bring him back to consciousness.

  Yan Yu followed Li teacher around like a madman, still immersed in his own world.

  The fatty has gotten himself drunk, leaning back in his chair with his head tilted back, it's unclear whether he's fallen asleep or not, but there's still a faint tear hanging from the corner of his eye.

  As the best brother of the two, the monkey had a heart to persuade, but also had no power, looking at this and that, finally turned into a sigh.

  The word "love" is indeed hurtful!

  Just then, in this suffocating atmosphere that made it hard to breathe, a loud "Bang!" suddenly rang out.

  Everyone was startled and turned their heads to see Chen Jinsong kneeling on the ground.

  What's wrong now?!!

  They thought he had drunk too much and wasn't sitting steadily, so several people nearby were preparing to help him up.

  He suddenly went crazy and shook off their hands, "Slap! Slap! Slap!" He gave himself a burst of ear slaps, the ferocity was like killing his father and stealing his wife.

  "What's wrong, what's wrong?! Say it properly!" Seeing him wanting to hit again, the few people who came back to their senses quickly pressed him down.

  I've seen people get drunk and hit others, but I've never seen anyone get drunk and beat themselves up.

  Chen Jinsong never forgot this matter over the years, and even in his midnight dreams, he would feel disgusted with his own despicability, which had become a constant mental torment for him. Fortunately, Yan Yu finally made it to the exam on time, giving Chen Jinsong the opportunity to clear himself of blame, but then...

  "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I really didn't think the consequences would be so severe, almost killing Suoluo!... Yan Yu's admission ticket was swapped by me! I'm not human...... Ahhh!!!" After saying this, he burst into loud sobs, hunching his back, too ashamed to face his fellow students and teachers, his head slowly lowering until it was buried in his knees.

  The crowd was stunned by this sudden truth again. This evening was really one wave after another.

  "Damn it! I'll beat you to death, you beast!" The monkey was the first to rush up with his fists flying, followed by many men and women who surrounded him, punching and kicking him, throwing fruit peels, and pulling his hair.

  "Is there anyone else who has wronged you like this? What did Yan Yu ever do to offend you?"

  "How could we have missed your viciousness at first! We even treated you like a brother!"

  "What else have you done?"

  ……

  The scene was chaotic.

  At this time, the fat man lying on the chair suddenly opened his eyes, which were filled with bloodshot, red and terrifying. With a frosty face, he quickly walked over here. He didn't run, but was like a gust of wind, and anyone who saw him would feel fearful.

  "Get out of the way." The icy tone commanded.

  The voice wasn't loud, but the crowd busy venting their anger happened to hear it and, without exception, made way for him.

  Chen Jinsong kept his head down, silently enduring the anger of the crowd, without resisting. Because, these were all what he deserved. Suddenly feeling that everyone had stopped, he didn't know what was wrong, he raised his head.

  It happened too quickly, and everyone was unable to see clearly. All they saw was a flash of green light, and then a beer bottle exploded on Chen Jin Song's left shoulder. The liquid soaked through half of his clothes, and slowly, the fresh blood from the cut skin also seeped out.

  If it wasn't for his conditioned reflexes dodging a bit, he would have hit his head.

  "Ah——!" Several girls shrieked out loud.

  "That's enough, that's enough, someone will get killed!" Mr. Li was unaware that things would escalate to such an out-of-control extent, and after a moment of fear, he hastily intervened.

  "Fatso, calm down, it's all over now. Even if you beat him to death, it won't make a difference!"

  "Yes, it's good that Sulolo is fine now, just let it go."

  "Quickly, you few men take the wine bottle out of his hand, it's too dangerous!"

  Everyone was frightened by his ferocity and dissuaded him one after another.

  Baozi was normally a calm person, but thinking of all the hardships Suoluo had endured and the fear of almost losing her made him unable to control himself.

  Adding alcohol and Yan Yu wanting to take away Su Luo's stimulation, they thoroughly went crazy.

  The girls all retreated to one side, afraid of being mistakenly injured.

  Chen Jinsong was also quite stubborn, except that he grunted at the time and didn't react. Several men wanted to pull him and Pangsuo away from each other, but one of them knelt down firmly, the other refused to put down the bottle, and they were afraid of completely provoking Pangsuo, so they dared not rush to grab it, and a group of people was stuck there.

  Everyone's ears only have their own breathing and heartbeat sounds.

  Knock knock knock!

  Suddenly, the fatty moved, like a nimble leopard, and somehow shook off the several people who stretched out their hands to catch him, and darted in front of Chen Jinsong, and moreover...

  He picked up the bottle full of sharp edges again.

  NO!!!!!!!!!

  Many people wanted to shout, but didn't have a chance to get it out.

  There were also those who were timid and directly closed their eyes.

  Everyone thought Chen Jinsong had finally gone crazy this time, and the consequences... They didn't dare think about it anymore.

  The sound of objects colliding did not ring out for a long time.

  Because someone grasped the bottle - it was Yan Yu who had been forgotten by everyone.

  Perhaps it was the noise that woke him up, or perhaps he had slowly digested the shocking news and surging emotions, and his consciousness automatically recovered. He detached himself from his own world, and before he could rush to ask about Luo Luo's situation, he rushed to her side, only to see Chen Jin being beaten by a group of people in front of him.

  Does he hate?

  How can I not hate! Hate to kill him with a knife! If it weren't for him, could Luo Luo suffer those hardships?!

  But he knew he couldn't.

  Because I've taken a liking to her, I'll consider everything from her perspective with all my heart.

  Not only can't let her bear the burden because of his own impulsive behavior, but also to stop Fatty from doing so, whether it's out of friendship or for her peace of mind.

  So when Fatso made his move again, he also made his move without hesitation.

  Fresh blood, from the palm of his hand, along the wrist, winding up the entire arm, staining half of the sleeve red.

  Although the target was the bottle body, the degree was too fast, and the fat man's force was too great, losing accuracy, still getting hurt. But Yan Yu seemed to be unaware of it, still holding the bottle. He patted the fat man's shoulder with his uninjured hand:

  "Don't let her worry, if something happens, she'll be devastated."

  This sentence, having overcome all the dissuasions, was like a magic spell. The originally still fuming fatty suddenly came to his senses, let go of the bottle and walked out of the private room dejectedly.

  The monkey was uneasy and followed him up.

  "It's okay! So much blood, hurry up and get something to wrap it!"

  "Quickly go to the hospital and call a car, take Chen Jinsong with you." Seeing that the commotion had finally ended, everyone was slightly relieved. But there were still two injured people to deal with.

  They can't really do anything to Chen Jin Song, and if something happens, they won't be able to afford it either.

  Chen Jinsong was subdued by two men. After this ordeal, he too had become weak and no longer had the strength to resist.

  Yan Yu casually grabbed a wet towel from the table and wrapped it around his hand to prevent blood from dripping onto the floor. He walked up to Teacher Li, bowed deeply and said: "Teacher, thank you for telling me these things. I know what to do now, don't worry."

  No excessive words, just a simple sentence, yet inexplicably made Teacher Li feel at ease.

  Lolo, it seems the teacher didn't do anything wrong, you will be happy.

  Because she saw something in Yan Yu's eyes, it wasn't guilt, nor was it just responsibility, but —— deep affection.

  That night, she felt that Yan Yu had suddenly matured a lot, from a boy to a real man.

  I hope you all be happy!

  Sorry, Xiao Pang!
