Xiao Yichen sat up suddenly from the bed, and the headache from the hangover came over him. Everything in front of him was blurry. He leaned against the bed weakly, and his heart felt heavy as if a huge rock was pressing on him, making it almost impossible for him to breathe. The light from the phone screen hurt his eyes, and he subconsciously picked up the phone. On the screen was Chu Mengmeng's bright smile. It was a photo he secretly took. In the photo, she was innocent and beautiful as always.

"Mengmeng..." He murmured her name, his voice hoarse and nasal.

On the other side, Chu Mengmeng forced herself to cheer up and went shopping with her friends. However, her delicate face could not hide her loneliness, and her eyes were empty, as if she had lost her soul. Her friends saw it and were worried in their hearts. They knew that Chu Mengmeng could not let go of Xiao Yichen in her heart.

"Mengmeng, what happened between you and Xiao Yichen? Is there any misunderstanding between you?" good friend Lin Na couldn't help but ask.

Chu Mengmeng smiled bitterly, shook her head, and said nothing. She didn't know how to explain the conflict between her and Xiao Yichen, and she didn't know how to continue this relationship.

"Mengmeng, it's not a good idea to continue like this! You obviously still love him in your heart, why don't you try to have a good talk with him?" Another good friend, Wang Qian, also advised.

"Yes, Mengmeng, we can all see that Xiao Yichen cares about you very much. There must be some misunderstanding between you two, just resolve it."

The concern and consolation from her friends caused ripples in Chu Mengmeng's heart. Yes, was there really no room for redemption between her and Xiao Yichen?

"How about this, we organize a party and invite both of you, so that we can have a good chat and talk it out," Lin Na suggested.

Chu Mengmeng hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

On the day of the party, Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen were kept in the dark and came to the agreed restaurant. When they saw each other, they were stunned.

"You guys..." Xiao Yichen spoke first, with a hint of surprise and expectation in his tone.

"We are here to help you reconcile!" Lin Na said with a smile.

Xiao Yichen and Chu Mengmeng were both a little embarrassed, and the atmosphere was a little subtle for a moment.

In order to ease the awkwardness, the friends began to chat enthusiastically, and the atmosphere gradually became lively. However, at this moment, Lin Wan'er suddenly appeared, breaking this rare harmony.

"Yichen, why are you here? Didn't you say you would accompany me to the art exhibition today?" Lin Wan'er took Xiao Yichen's arm, with a hint of dissatisfaction in her tone.

Xiao Yichen was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously wanted to explain, but Lin Wan'er spoke first: "Why? Did you rekindle your old relationship with Miss Chu and don't want to care about me anymore?"

Lin Wan'er's words shocked everyone present. Chu Mengmeng's face turned pale in an instant. She looked at Lin Wan'er in disbelief, then looked at Xiao Yichen who was in shock. Her heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.

The sudden change made Chu Mengmeng's heart feel like it was being tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and the sharp pain made it almost impossible for her to breathe. She looked at Lin Wan'er in disbelief, then looked at Xiao Yichen who was stunned, and her mind went blank.

Lin Wan'er's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Xiao Yichen's chest hard. He wanted to explain in a panic, but he didn't know where to start. He looked at Chu Mengmeng's hurt eyes, and his heart felt like it was torn apart.

"Mengmeng, listen to my explanation. Things are not what you think..." Xiao Yichen wanted to hold Chu Mengmeng's hand, but she shook it away.

"Enough!" Chu Mengmeng's eyes were red and her voice was trembling, "Xiao Yichen, I really misjudged you! Why did you do this to me?"

"Mengmeng, you misunderstood. Wan'er and I are just..."

"Just what? Just friends? Would a friend hold your arm so intimately?" Chu Mengmeng could no longer control her emotions and tears welled up in her eyes.

Seeing Chu Mengmeng's heartbroken look, Xiao Yichen's heart felt like it was cut by a knife. He wanted to explain, but found that any explanation seemed pale and powerless.

Upon seeing this, the friends quickly pulled Lin Wan'er aside and told her not to add fuel to the fire.

"Mengmeng, don't get excited yet. Listen to Xiao Yichen's explanation." Lin Na comforted.

"Yes, Mengmeng, we all believe that Xiao Yichen is not that kind of person." Wang Qian also said.

After being persuaded by her friends, Chu Mengmeng gradually calmed down. She took a deep breath, held back her tears, and looked at Xiao Yichen coldly.

"Okay, I'll give you a chance to explain."

Xiao Yichen looked at Chu Mengmeng's cold eyes and knew that he had really broken her heart this time. He took a deep breath and told Chu Mengmeng everything about the relationship between him and Lin Wan'er and what happened that night.

After listening to Xiao Yichen's explanation, Chu Mengmeng realized that she had misunderstood him. That night, Lin Wan'er lost control of her emotions because of something, and Xiao Yichen only sent her home out of concern between friends, and did not do anything to let her down.

"Mengmeng, I'm sorry. I didn't handle my feelings well and made you misunderstand." Xiao Yichen apologized sincerely, "Can you forgive me?"

Chu Mengmeng looked at Xiao Yichen's sincere eyes, and the ice in her heart began to melt slowly. She admitted that during this period of time, her feelings for Xiao Yichen, in addition to love, also included distrust and suspicion.

"Xiao Yichen, I also want to apologize to you. I shouldn't have not believed you." Chu Mengmeng's voice was very soft, but it was like a warm current, slowly flowing into Xiao Yichen's heart.

The two looked at each other, their eyes full of apology and love. The misunderstanding was resolved, and the gap between them also disappeared.

"Okay, the two of you should stop torturing each other." Lin Na smiled and tried to smooth things over. "Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, cherish each other."

Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen felt a little embarrassed by their friends’ words. They smiled at each other and the atmosphere became relaxed.

"Mengmeng, do you still remember the first time we met?" Xiao Yichen suddenly asked.

Chu Mengmeng was stunned for a moment, and the scene of their first meeting emerged in her mind...

A blush appeared on Chu Mengmeng's cheeks. She was in the pavilion in the back garden of the college, concentrating on studying the recipe in her hands. And he was the young man who suddenly broke into her world and brought a gust of fresh breeze.

"Of course I remember," Chu Mengmeng's lips curled up slightly, "You said my recipe book was a divine book at that time."

"Yeah, I thought you were the successor of some hidden sect, specializing in dark cuisine." Xiao Yichen joked, his eyes full of pampering.

"Xiao Yichen!" Chu Mengmeng waved her fist in pretending to be angry, but the smile in her eyes could not be concealed.

Friends watched them flirting and tactfully walked away, leaving the space to the young couple.

As the sun sets, the golden afterglow falls on them, as if giving them a layer of warm light. Chu Mengmeng looks at Xiao Yichen in front of her. His eyes still have the gentleness of the past, but he is more mature and firm than when they first met.

"Mengmeng," Xiao Yichen suddenly held Chu Mengmeng's hand, and said seriously, "I know I made you sad before, but I can assure you that my feelings for you have never changed. Are you willing to give me another chance and let me take care of you for the rest of my life?"

Chu Mengmeng's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. She didn't expect Xiao Yichen to confess to her again at this moment. She raised her head and looked into Xiao Yichen's deep eyes. All the doubts and uneasiness in her heart disappeared.

"I do." Chu Mengmeng's voice was very soft, but it seemed to carry a tremendous force, striking heavily on Xiao Yichen's heart.

Xiao Yichen was overjoyed. He hugged Chu Mengmeng into his arms and held her tightly, as if he wanted to rub her into his bones and blood.

When friends saw this scene, they applauded and cheered, and gave them their most sincere blessings.

"That's great, you finally reconciled!" Lin Na said excitedly.

"I told you, you two are a perfect match!" Wang Qian also said with a smile.

Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen smiled at each other, their eyes full of happiness and sweetness. They knew that after going through this test, their relationship would be stronger and their future would be better.

However, in the corner of the crowd, Lin Wan'er clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging deep into her flesh, but she didn't feel any pain. She looked at the scene of Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen hugging each other happily, and the jealousy and resentment in her heart grew wildly like weeds.

Her plot had failed miserably, but that didn't mean she would give up.

Lin Wan'er's eyes gradually turned cold, she turned away from the crowd and disappeared into the night. Chapter 154: Ice-breaking Journey

Lin Wan'er watched Xiao Yichen hug Chu Mengmeng, and the scene hurt her eyes. She bit her lower lip tightly, her fingertips almost pinching into her palm, but she still couldn't suppress the jealousy and hatred surging in her heart.

"Why? Why is it like this again?" Lin Wan'er whispered in a low voice, her voice full of despair. Everything she had carefully planned, in the end, helped them. Why did Chu Mengmeng do this? Was it just because of her innocent appearance?

Lin Wan'er turned around abruptly and stumbled away. As night fell, her figure quickly disappeared into the darkness, leaving behind only a sense of loneliness and unwillingness.

Chu Mengmeng noticed that Lin Wan'er had left, and she felt a little uneasy, but she quickly put this uneasiness behind her. Xiao Yichen's embrace was warm and safe, making her yearn for the happiness she had lost and regained.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Yichen felt that something was wrong with Chu Mengmeng and asked softly.

Chu Mengmeng shook her head, buried her head in his chest, and said softly: "It's okay, I just feel a little emotional. We have gone through so many twists and turns, and finally we are together."

"Yeah." Xiao Yichen sighed softly, with a hint of relief in his tone, "Fortunately, we didn't let go."

The two stood hugging each other, letting the afterglow of the setting sun make their figures look particularly slender. Their friends tactfully did not come forward to disturb them, but just watched them from a distance, with smiles of blessing on their faces.

After this misunderstanding, Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen's relationship became stronger. They cherish each other more and know how to love each other better.

"Mengmeng, let's start over, okay?" Xiao Yichen held Chu Mengmeng's cheek and looked at her affectionately.

"Okay." Tears welled up in the corners of Chu Mengmeng's eyes, but the smile on her lips was brighter than ever.

The gap between them has completely disappeared, replaced by an even stronger love.

As the night deepened, everyone left, leaving only Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen walking side by side on the avenue of the academy. The moonlight shone through the branches and leaves, casting mottled shadows on the ground, reflecting the happy figures of the two.

"Mengmeng, where do you want to go? I'll go with you." Xiao Yichen held Chu Mengmeng's hand tightly and asked softly.

Chu Mengmeng looked up at the starry sky, with infinite expectations in her heart. They had experienced so many ups and downs, and finally ushered in the sunny day that belonged to them. The road ahead was still long, and they would walk hand in hand, see the beautiful scenery of the world together, taste the delicious food of the world together, and create their own happy story together.

However, in the corner they couldn't see, a shadow was quietly spreading. Although Lin Wan'er left, the resentment in her heart did not dissipate. What else would she do to destroy the happiness of Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen?
