Chapter 12: Lacking the Courage to Face Him

  After hesitating for a moment, Su Ying'er still said the words she didn't want to say in her heart, "Xiao Yao, I...I'm not worthy of you, we'd better not be together!"

  As soon as she finished speaking, Su Ying'er quickly opened the car door and ran out without waiting for Xiao Yao's response. She was afraid to hear Xiao Yao's answer, she wanted to escape, she didn't dare face Xiao Yao, and she also didn't have the courage to face him again!

  "Ying'er!" Xiao Yao quickly opened the car door and chased after her, grabbing Su Ying'er's hand and pulling her into his arms. "What's wrong with you today? Didn't you promise to be with me? Why are you leaving?"

  "Sorry!" Su Ying'er felt her tears were like a dam breaking, uncontrollable. "But we won't have a future together, Xiao Yao, do you understand?"

  "Why?!" Xiao Yao's eyebrows gradually furrowed, he tightly hugged the crying girl in his arms, full of heartache. "Ying'er, what exactly happened? Didn't you say that I was the one you liked? Why would you say something like this?"

  "I...” Su Ying'er suddenly pushed away Xiao Yao's warm embrace, turned around, and choked back tears as she replied, “Do you know how I got into Sheng Yu? It wasn't because I had the same family background as you. I only relied on the little money my grandmother saved for me, and I only relied on myself to work hard during summer vacation to earn money, which gave me the opportunity to become a student at Sheng Yu Academy, and also gave me the chance to meet you. So I'm very clear that we're from two different worlds. Maybe right now you like me, but one day you'll definitely realize that I'll bring shame to you. Since this was wrong from the start, why make another mistake?"

  "Who said you would lose face for me?!" Xiang Yao's words made Su Ying Er feel uncomfortable, he grabbed her shoulders and forced her to turn around. His clear and bright eyes stared directly at Su Ying Er, telling her in a firm tone, "Su Ying Er, whether you are poor or rich, I like you, I will always be with you, believe me, okay?!"

  "Xiao Yao, I..." Xiao Yao's gentle words warmed Su Ying'er's heart. Heaven knows how much she wanted to lean on the person she liked, how much she wanted to be with her white knight, but could she really do so?

  "Ying'er, I like you!" Before Su Ying'er could respond, Xiao Yao directly held Su Ying'er's face, lowered his head, and kissed her.

  Su Ying'er struggled with her inner turmoil for a long, long time, but in the end, she still fell into Xiao Yao's gentle kiss. Slowly, she also hugged Xiao Yao.

  In the Blue Moon Café, leaning against the soft sofa by the window seat, Lu Yifan was slowly savoring his coffee. This cup of coffee had been ordered with a lot of sugar added, but it still tasted bitter!

  Today, he didn't go to school. He stayed at home and thought for a long time. He felt that things between him and Xiaoyu couldn't be dragged on any longer. Some matters had to be clarified face-to-face by the two of them, so he wouldn't regret it later!

  A taxi sped towards the Blue Moon Cafe, and Yan Xiaoyu, as beautiful as a fairy, sat inside, her heart extremely tense. She glanced at the time on her watch and urged the driver, "Driver, please hurry up, I have an emergency!"
