Chapter 109 I have a choice in my heart
In Jiang Ming's heart, Su Qing's figure is always like a breeze, gentle and warm.
Her quietness and introversion were like a budding flower, exuding a faint fragrance that attracted him. However, as time went by, Jiang Ming's pursuit did not receive a response from Su Qing. On the contrary, Su Qing always kept her distance, which made Jiang Ming feel lost.
At the same time, in Hongxing Village, far away from the campus, Lu Xingchen's heart was also filled with uneasiness.
As Su Qing's husband, he could not help but feel jealous and worried when he learned about Jiang Ming's pursuit of Su Qing. Although he and Su Qing were in a fake marriage, their feelings gradually deepened as time went by.
Lu Xingchen didn't want to see Jiang Ming's enthusiasm causing trouble to Su Qing, so he decided to leave Hongxing Village temporarily and go to Yangshi Industrial University in person to secretly observe Su Qing's situation.
Lu Xingchen's arrival did not immediately attract Su Qing's attention.
On campus, Jiang Ming is still trying hard to pursue Su Qing, but her heart is always thinking about Lu Xingchen.
That day, the sun was shining brightly, the cherry blossoms on campus were in full bloom, Su Qing was reading quietly on a bench outside the library, seemingly immersed in her own world. At this moment, Lu Xingchen walked into her sight.
"Su Qing." Lu Xingchen called softly, his voice as gentle as the spring breeze.
Su Qing looked up and saw Lu Xingchen, with a surprised smile on her face: "Uncle Lu, why are you here?"
"I missed you and came to see you." Lu Xingchen sat beside her, his eyes gentle but firm.
At this moment, Su Qing felt warm in her heart. Lu Xingchen's concern made her feel valued, and his arrival seemed to dispel the haze in her heart. The two began to chat about the little things on campus. Lu Xingchen asked about her studies and life with concern, and Su Qing shared her interesting stories at school. Their laughter echoed in the campus, as if time had stopped for them.
Lu Xingchen's attentiveness and consideration made Su Qing feel a sense of security, a feeling that Jiang Ming could not give her. She began to be more determined in her choice, and understood that in this marriage, her relationship with Lu Xingchen was not just a formal husband and wife, but also a supporter of each other.
However, Jiang Ming's pursuit did not stop. Although he gradually realized that Su Qing did not seem to have much affection for him, he was still immersed in his yearning for her. During a club activity, he once again mustered up the courage to try to talk to Su Qing.
"Su Qing, how have you been recently?" Jiang Ming asked with a smile, his eyes gleaming with anticipation.
"I'm fine, thank you." Su Qing responded indifferently, but she was secretly missing Lu Xingchen's company in her heart.
Jiang Ming noticed Su Qing's indifference, but he didn't want to give up. In order to get more contact with her, he began to participate in various activities, trying to show his ability and charm, hoping to impress her. However, Su Qing's heart could never be touched by him.
At this time, Lu Xingchen's presence on campus gradually increased. Whether in the quiet corner of the library or in the laughter of the sports field, Lu Xingchen always met Su Qing unexpectedly. His care and companionship made Su Qing no longer feel lonely in Jiang Ming's pursuit, and also made her more determined in her choice.
One night, Su Qing and Lu Xingchen were walking on the campus path, sharing their dreams and future plans. Lu Xingchen whispered, "I hope to walk through every tomorrow with you. No matter what the future holds, I will be by your side."
After hearing this, Su Qing was moved and held Lu Xingchen's hand tightly: "I feel very happy to have you by my side."
During this time, Jiang Ming's pursuit gradually became quiet. He began to realize the distance between him and Su Qing, and realized that it was right to respect her choice. He began to devote more energy to study, strive to improve himself, and no longer dwell on his obsession with Su Qing. He realized that true love is to wish the other person happiness, not one-sided pursuit.
The relationship between Su Qing and Lu Xingchen became stronger. Under the cherry blossom trees on campus, the two often shared their dreams. Lu Xingchen's maturity and stability made Su Qing feel at ease, and Su Qing's innocence and kindness also made Lu Xingchen cherish her.
One day, when Su Qing was reviewing in the library, she suddenly received a small note from Jiang Ming. He asked her to meet him in a small cafe on campus. Su Qing hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed. She wanted to give Jiang Ming a clear response and end this ambiguous relationship.
In the cafe, Jiang Ming was waiting for Su Qing nervously. There was anticipation in his eyes, but more of a sense of uneasiness. When he saw Su Qing coming in, he stood up and greeted her with a smile: "Su Qing, thank you for coming."
"Jiang Ming, I want to talk to you today." Su Qing went straight to the point, her tone gentle but firm.
"I know you have always cared about me, and I am very grateful for your support. But what I want to say is that I have made a choice in my heart." Su Qing's voice was without a trace of hesitation.
"Is it Lu Xingchen?" Jiang Ming asked, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes.
Su Qing nodded: "Yes, he makes me feel safe and happy. I hope you can understand."
Jiang Ming was silent for a while, and finally sighed slightly: "I understand, but..." He hesitated to speak
Su Qing felt Jiang Ming's hesitation and felt a little reluctant. After all, they were classmates and friends. She said softly, "Thank you, Jiang Ming. I hope we can be friends."
Jiang Ming smiled slightly: "Of course, of course we are friends." How much he wanted to add a prefix before the word "friend": boyfriend.
The two smiled at each other. Although they both felt a little regretful, they both understood that this was the best outcome. Su Qing turned and left, feeling a little relieved, as if she had unloaded a heavy burden.
After returning to campus, Su Qing and Lu Xingchen had a better relationship. Lu Xingchen also noticed Su Qing's changes and asked gently, "How was it meeting Jiang Ming today?"
"I talked to him and told him how I felt." Su Qing replied with a smile, "He understood me very well, and I felt much more relaxed."
Lu Xingchen breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to gently hold Su Qing's hand: "That's good. No matter what, I will stay with you."
Jiang Ming chose to continue pursuing his dream and work hard in his studies and career. Although he still missed Su Qing in his heart, he understood that there are always unsatisfactory things in life, and the important thing is to learn to let go.
Su Qing took two days off and traveled in Yang City for two days with Lu Xingchen. It was with Lu Xingchen's company that her life became so wonderful.
Their laughter echoed in the wind, as if announcing to the world that no matter what the future holds, they will spend every spring, summer, autumn and winter together.
