Chapter 121 Finding a glimmer of comfort
Meng Yanchen tasted the delicious chicken soup and became happy. Every mouthful of soup brought him comfort and satisfaction, as if soothing every inch of anxiety in his heart.
He recalled the chicken soup his mother made when he was a child. At that time, he could not wait to run home after school to greet the rich aroma of chicken soup. They sat around the dining table, chatting and laughing, enjoying the warm family atmosphere. Although he is now in a foreign country, this bowl of chicken soup evokes his deep longing for home.
After drinking the chicken soup, Meng Yanchen sat on the sofa in a happy mood. He felt the warmth flowing through his body and the tranquility deep in his heart. At this moment, he felt as if he was wrapped in a layer of soft light, and all his troubles and worries were thrown behind him.
The moonlight outside the window poured into the room through the curtains and shone on Meng Yanchen's face. He seemed to be immersed in peace. In this quiet night, he felt the beauty and endless possibilities of life, and felt the infinite expectations and hopes for the future.
"Perhaps life is not as complicated as I thought." Meng Yanchen whispered to himself. He realized that sometimes he was too entangled in trivial matters and ignored the beautiful details in life. Now, he is determined to cherish every moment and enjoy every bit of beauty in life.
She is a beautiful scenery on campus. She is beautiful, gentle, kind, has excellent grades, and is loved by her classmates. In Meng Yanchen's eyes, she is the light that illuminates his soul and makes him fall in love with her.
Every day, Meng Yanchen would travel thousands of miles to sneak into Annie's classroom and silently admire her smile and demeanor. He often imagined in his mind the scene of spending romantic time with Annie, dreaming that one day he could walk hand in hand with her on campus and share each other's joys and sorrows.
However, reality is often cruel. Although Meng Yanchen had a deep love for Annie, he never had the courage to talk to her. Whenever he stood in front of Annie, the surging emotions in his heart made him speechless. He could only stare at her silently, looking at her back from a distance, and praying in his heart.
Until one day, fate seemed to play a joke and let Meng Yanchen and Annie meet in the campus library. It was a sunny afternoon, Meng Yanchen sat in a corner reading a book attentively, while Annie was looking for the information she needed in front of the bookshelf.
"Hello, Meng Yanchen." Annie gently broke Meng Yanchen's silence.
"Annie, hello... hello." Meng Yanchen replied stutteringly, with thousands of waves stirring in his heart.
He had not expected that Anne would take the initiative to talk to him. For a moment, he was extremely excited and at a loss.
"I see you are reading this book very seriously. Do you need help?" Anne asked with a smile, with a hint of warmth and care in her eyes.
"Well, no, thank you. I... I'm fine." Meng Yanchen answered stutteringly, hesitant in his heart.
Seeing this, Annie smiled slightly and turned away. Meng Yanchen felt regretful. He had a chance to communicate with Annie, but he missed the opportunity because of nervousness.
From that day on, Meng Yanchen made up his mind to confess his feelings to Annie. However, things were not as simple as he imagined. Whenever he stood in front of Annie, his emotions that he wanted to say but couldn't were like an invisible obstacle, leaving him helpless.
Until one day, Meng Yanchen plucked up the courage and decided to confess his love to Annie. He chose a sunny afternoon and found Annie on the lawn of the campus.
"Annie, I...I have something to tell you." Meng Yanchen said hesitantly, the excitement in his heart was beyond words.
Anne smiled and looked at him tenderly, as if she had guessed what he was going to say.
"Meng Yanchen, are you going to confess your love to me?" Annie asked softly, with a hint of emotion and appreciation in her eyes.
Meng Yanchen stared at Annie in a daze, with endless emotion in his heart. He nodded, his lips trembling slightly.
"Yes, Annie. I have liked you for a long time, and I want to tell you that I am willing to do anything for you." Meng Yanchen's voice was full of sincerity and determination, and he showed his deepest feelings to Annie without reservation.
Anne smiled slightly after hearing this, she shook her head gently, with a hint of apology and helplessness in her eyes.
"Meng Yanchen, thank you. I am very grateful for your kindness to me, but... I only regard you as a good friend." Annie said softly, with a hint of apology and regret in her voice.
Meng Yanchen felt as if his heart was broken by a knife. He did not expect that his beloved girl would answer him like this. He felt confused and lost. He tried hard to control his emotions and make himself look stronger, but his eyes could not hide the loss and pain.
"I...I understand." Meng Yanchen forced a smile, but his voice trembled a little.
Annie looked at Meng Yanchen's expression, and a trace of guilt surged in her heart. She knew that Meng Yanchen's feelings for her were not fake, but she could not give him the same response. She sighed softly, and her affection for Meng Yanchen deepened.
"Meng Yanchen, I'm really sorry." Annie said gently, hoping to ease the awkward atmosphere.
"It's okay, Annie. I don't blame you." Meng Yanchen forced a smile, but he still couldn't let it go in his heart.
The atmosphere between the two was somewhat awkward, and Meng Yanchen didn't know what to say to ease the awkwardness. He silently looked at the grass under his feet, with endless loss and pain in his heart.
"Meng Yanchen, you are really a good person." Annie patted Meng Yanchen's shoulder gently, trying to comfort him, "I hope we can still be good friends."
Meng Yanchen was slightly stunned after hearing this. He did not expect Annie to make such a suggestion. Although he was in great pain, he knew that it would be better to cherish the current friendship than to lose all contact with Annie.
"Of course, Annie. We will always be good friends." Meng Yanchen forced a smile. He knew that this might be the only choice between him and Annie.
The two sat silently on the lawn without much communication. Although Meng Yanchen was in great pain, he knew that this was the path he had chosen and he had to face it bravely.
As the sun sets, the sky gradually turns orange. In such a quiet moment, Meng Yanchen feels a sense of peace. Perhaps, although his love story did not go as he wished, he can still find a little comfort in the world of friendship.
