Yuqiongyin

Looking at Rong Yunjie heating the milk, the dim light from the kitchen outlined the boy's well-defined profile. He lowered his eyelashes and concentrated on heating the milk for himself.

The scene was warm and satisfying, however, deep in Ye Chenning's heart, she couldn't help but feel a sense of crisis.

Now she clearly realized that her feelings for Rong Yunluo had long surpassed the friendship between childhood sweethearts, and an inexplicable special emotion was quietly growing.

This feeling made her feel happy but also scared. She didn't know how to face this feeling, and she was even more worried that once she made it clear, she might not even be able to continue being friends.

Ye Chenning took a deep breath and took off the cotton coat he was wearing, as if he wanted to put these thoughts behind him.

She climbed up to the glass greenhouse in the attic of the villa. The attic had a unique design, and the window frames were inlaid with colorful glass, which sparkled under the light.

New Year's Eve is also a cold winter night. The glass house shines with a cool and elegant light under the moonlight. The frost sliding down the glass and the starlight outside the window seem to complement it, forming a beautiful and mysterious picture.

But the people in the glass greenhouse had no intention of appreciating it.

"You have something on your mind."

Ye Chenning listened to the footsteps behind him and knew who it was without turning around.

"It isn't, and it isn't. It's just a volunteer thing." She took the cup of hot milk from Rong Yunluo's hand, her tone light.

"Oh, have you decided where to go?" Rong Yunjie's eyes fell on her tightly pursed lips.

"not yet."

Watching Ye Chenning's lips opening and closing, he then drank a sip of milk.

Rong Yunqiu didn't know what he was thinking. When he came to his senses, his right thumb had uncontrollably covered the girl's lips.

He pressed his fingertips lightly on her lips and wiped them.

Ye Chenning was stunned for a moment, and his hand holding the glass tightened involuntarily.

Rong Yunlu suppressed his uncontrollable heartbeat, pretended to be calm and retracted his fingers, pretending nothing happened and said, "There was milk at the corner of your mouth, I wiped it off for you."

"Yeah." Ye Chenning blinked, reluctantly accepting this lame excuse. The warm touch at the corner of his mouth just now seemed to be an illusion. "What about you? Have you made a decision?"

"Well...it's been three months. I think I have found my future direction."

“Why didn’t you tell me when you found it…?” The brain asked this question subconsciously.

Ye Chenning was stunned for a moment, then left his side as if fleeing.

She was afraid, afraid that the answer was not what she wanted.

The footsteps followed Ye Chenning slowly, and his voice came, "Actually, this injury was not caused by not doing a good warm-up exercise, but by overtraining..."

Ye Chenning lowered his head and remained silent. He should have thought of this a long time ago. The two of them had been training since they were young, so how could they forget to do adequate warm-up exercises before training.

Rong Yunqiu raised his hand and touched the position of his left shoulder blade, but chose to hide the truth. "Not long after arriving in Germany, I made up my mind. I will go to Italy to attend university. We have been in contact for the past three months. I want to tell you, but I don't know how to start..."

Ye Chenning's heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition came to his mind.

"So what you're saying is... you're going to separate from me? Go to Italy alone?"

She turned around in disbelief, looking at him in astonishment, her peach blossom eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist.

Rong Yunluo shook his head gently, "I know you have already received the recommendation quota there... I can't be so selfish as to ask you to give up the recommendation quota and go to Italy with me."

The sound of the clock announcing twelve o'clock came to my ears, accompanied by the sound of fireworks and firecrackers one after another, resounding through the sky.

However, at this moment, Ye Chenning was completely unable to feel the joyous atmosphere of the New Year. Her mind was filled with only one piece of news - Rong Yunlu was leaving.

"You...will have a better future. Why do you want to give up this opportunity? Zhizhi, I have made up my mind. You don't have to hesitate any more, okay...?"

"Whatever you want...whatever you want...! Isn't it good for me to be like this?!"

Ye Chenning raised her hand and without hesitation slapped away Rong Yunqi's hand that was trying to wipe her tears, with a hint of determination and indifference in her eyes.

"Why do you all break your promises? Why are you always like this... So what's going on now? I'm the only one left again... Right?"

Tears kept falling, but I didn't reach out to wipe them away, just letting them flow down my cheeks.

Rong Yunqiu was stunned, his hands froze in mid-air, his eyes filled with guilt and self-blame.
