Rong Yuchi's gentle question was like a muffled thunder striking You Tong. Her face froze and she froze on the spot. Her eyes slowly shifted and returned to Rong Yuchi's face.
At one glance, all the blood in the body seemed to flow backwards.
Rong Yuchi stood quietly on the spot, his thin lips curved into a smile that was not a smile, it was shallow and light, if there was something but not at all.
But why does she think his expression at this moment is so terrifying?!
He had let go of her hand, but she had the illusion that she couldn't break away. There seemed to be an invisible chain between them. He obviously didn't hold on tightly, but she couldn't escape. She couldn't help but look.
His expression was always calm and self-possessed, his eyes were deep and there was no hint of happiness or anger.
But strangely, she knew he was angry.
He wanted her to go with him, but...
Biting her lip, she said cowardly, "I..."
Rong Yuchi glanced at her indifferently, paused for a few seconds, adjusted his breathing rate, and slowly said two words without emotion, "Goodbye."
After saying that, he turned around and left without a trace of nostalgia.
You Tong watched him walk away until he was out of sight, and his heart suddenly ached. He stared at the place where his figure disappeared without blinking his eyes.

Goodbye…goodbye…goodbye…
For a whole week, You Tong was surprised in this dream every night. When he opened his eyes, what came to his mind was still the indifferent look he had when he left.
She had no intention of letting him leave traces on her heart, but it backfired.
But she still thanked him very much, thanked him for showing up when she was most helpless, thanked him for defending her in front of Li Jiaqi, and thanked him for letting her taste what heartache felt like.
Just like the past few days, she couldn't fall asleep again after waking up. You Tong lifted the quilt and got out of bed.
I walked to the window, opened the wide curtains, and stared at the unfamiliar night scene outside the window. The night in Guangzhou was as bright as Taipei, but very different.
In the past few days, she and Teacher Su have been trying to contact people who were in the same examination room that day to find out if anyone saw Li Jiaqi's petty behavior. However, they have already contacted most of the people, but there is still no progress at all.
Every day her legs were running around, and every night her heart was ups and downs in the deep sea. She was so tired, what on earth was she insisting on?!
It's really like Rong Yuchi said, this matter can't be solved in a day or two. Maybe she is too stubborn, but... she wants to prove her innocence, but also wants to...
His thoughts suddenly stopped, You Tong stopped thinking and continued thinking, his face turned pale, and a slight bitter smile bloomed on his lips.
What he didn't understand, even she herself didn't understand very well.

On the thirteenth day, things finally made progress.
On this day, the temperature of the sun was just right, and the wind blowing on your face was very comfortable, which made You Tong feel much more relaxed.
She finally contacted a woman named Ding. On the phone, Ms. Ding said that she saw Li Jiaqi taking the note on the day of the exam, but she did not say anything at the time to protect her own safety. After the exam that day, she was anxious to get the note.
She went to Beijing for business and soon left the examination room. Today, Ms. Ding is coming back to Guangzhou from Beijing. After so many days, she finally decided to stand up and tell the truth.
You Tongyin seemed to see the dawn of hope all of a sudden, and his mind slowly returned to calmness from the chaos.
The time agreed with Ms. Ding was four o'clock in the afternoon. After You Tong put down the phone, she couldn't sit still anymore. She paced back and forth in the hotel room countless times, still unable to calm down her inner excitement, so she chose to go out for a walk.
Walk.
The weather is very good, neither dry nor hot. I don't want to take a ride, I just want to walk around casually.
You Tong was walking alone on the red brick road in the city. The display windows along the street were very creative and full of ingenuity. They could easily catch the attention of passers-by. However, she had no intention of admiring the dazzling products.
A stall selling potted plants on the side of the road made her stop unconsciously.
Among the small and cute potted plants, a four-leaf clover immediately caught her eye.
Her hands subconsciously touched her ears, and suddenly she remembered the beautiful pair of earrings he bought her.
There is a beautiful legend about four-leaf clover. There used to be a pair of lovers who really loved each other and lived together in a beautiful peach forest. However, because of a very small thing, they got into trouble and refused to give in to each other.
Finally one day, the God of Love couldn't stand it any longer, so she floated to the peach forest where they lived, and quietly told a lie: telling them that there would be difficulties on all sides, and that only by finding the four-leaf clover in the deepest part of the peach forest would they be able to survive.
It could save them. After hearing this, they pretended not to care, but they were still worried about each other. It rained that night, a heavy rain, but they still secretly went to the deepest part of the peach forest to look for four-leaf clovers for each other. When they knew that each other was
They cared about themselves very much and were so touched that they decided to let Clover witness their love. The God of Love smiled.
This is a joke made by the God of Love, because she does not want happiness to come too easily. Only those who care about and cherish each other deserve happiness.
Four-leaf clover, a symbol of luck and the meaning of happiness.
"Miss, do you want to buy it?!" The boss selling potted plants spoke in Cantonese. You Tong couldn't quite understand it, but he nodded without hesitation.
She didn't even ask the price and just bought it.
When she held the small potted four-leaf clover in her hands, she seemed to have captured happiness in an instant.
I looked at my watch and saw that it was already 3:30 in the afternoon and it was time to set off.
He turned around and returned to the hotel along the original road. He passed by Su Shenxing's room and knocked lightly on the door.
Different from the past, he hesitated for a while before slowly opening the door, holding the phone in his hand and talking to someone.
You Tong felt that he was disturbing, so he quickly made a gesture and said that he was waiting for him downstairs, but Su Shenxing suddenly grabbed her hand and his eyes darkened.
You Tong seemed to have a bad premonition, "What, what's wrong?!"
