Chapter Twelve: Impossible

  Under the quiet night sky, the campus of Huabei No. 1 Middle School gradually fell silent, with occasional frog and bird calls accompanied by the voices of boarding students discussing their studies and sighs.

  A quiet classroom, a pair of male and female students sit face to face, an unusual atmosphere fills the air.

  Looking at Shangguan Nengren's trembling body, BeiBei's eyes showed a hint of warmth: "Afraid of losing me that much?"

  Shaking his head: "It's no use being afraid, I've already lost."

  Shangguan Nengren still had his head down, wiping away the corners of his eyes and taking a few deep breaths, but his emotions were still difficult to calm.

  She stretched out her hands to Beibei, hugged Ue's face and pulled him into her arms, holding him tightly: "I'm sorry."

  Gently stroking Shang Guan Nian's black hair, he looked at Bei Bei with a hint of guilt in his eyes: "I can feel it, you're the first boy to have real feelings for me, so I'm really sorry."

  His face buried in Xiang Beibei's full and soft twin peaks, but he didn't have the heart to enjoy it. Subconsciously, he wrapped his arms around Xiang Beibei's slender waist, and his mood gradually calmed down.

  "To be honest, I also like you a bit." The words to Beibei didn't surprise Gao Nengren at all. Since Xu Jingru told him about Beibei's true identity that day, Gao Nengren had known.

  "But I will be walking a different path in the future, and I think there won't be any similarities between us two. Considering the future, I can only decline your kindness."

  Another moment of silence.

  Bei Bei showed a weak side that a girl should have at this moment, with a hint of sadness in her expression, but Shang Guan Nian didn't see it.

  "After that day, I was also very sad...” Bèi Bèi tightly hugged Shàng Guān Néng Rén, her face buried in his hair: “But… rejecting a confession from a boy who likes you, and whom you also like, is really hard to bear after trying it out. It doesn’t feel like me at all, not one bit…”

  As a man, seeing the woman he likes being weak and helpless, Ou Guan's heart is in extreme pain, and he also resents his own incompetence. If only he could be stronger... just a little bit stronger... even stronger... then why would Bei Bei have to suffer so much? It's all my fault!

  Ashamed and heartbroken, the superior officer slowly pulled his face away from BeiBei's chest, under her astonished gaze, he hugged her into his arms, took a deep breath, stroking her hair: "Don't be afraid, I've always been here, even if you rejected me, I'll still stick to you!"

  Looking at Shang Guan Nian's stiff expression as he said those words, Xiang Bei couldn't help but burst out laughing.

  "Don't... don't laugh, do you know how much courage it took for me to say these words? If others heard them, I'd be too ashamed to show my face." Shang Guan's old face burned with shame, wishing he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

  "Hehe, it's a bit embarrassing." Turning to Beibei with a chuckle, her eyes slightly moist: "But why do I love listening to this so much! Can you say it again?"

  "Rather die than that." Officer Nangeng turned his face to one side, such a nauseating phrase, he couldn't bear to say it once, let alone twice.

  "Actually, these words are very ordinary in Western countries and very romantic. If you're willing to say them to me every day, I'll feel very happy."

  "You'd really laugh at me every day." After being together for so long, Wei Bei knew what kind of person he was, and if they were to be mushy every day, he himself probably wouldn't be able to take it.

  "Haha, forget it then!"

  Look! If you love listening, you wouldn't give up so easily.

  "Hmm..." Bèi covered her face with one hand, looking puzzled: "You said... aren't our actions now a bit too intimate?"

  Sometimes you hold me, sometimes I hold you, can't we be intimate?

  Shang Guan's face turned red with anger: "You... if you're not willing, I'll let go."

  ...gave Beibei a sly look.

  "What a relief!"

  “……”

  "I'm relieved!"

  “……”

  "Uh... still... let's just hug for a bit longer!" Officer Nengren tightened his arms, the cold air emanating from Baby was too intense and had almost materialized. He was afraid that if he loosened his grip, another egg would shatter, and if that happened, he'd rather die on the spot.

  "Hehe......" Beibei leaned into Nangong's arms, and the chill dissipated.

  Shangguan Neng's forehead was sweating coldly, and he felt a lingering fear in his heart: it seemed that he had chosen correctly, otherwise his brother would really have to go to the imperial palace to take office.

  The beautiful woman in his arms, smelling the sweet fragrance between her nose and wings, was so moved that she wanted to cry.

  How long has it been? How long hasn't it been so intimate with Xiǎo Bèibèi? Oh heavens! If you open your eyes, help me out! Let Xiǎo Bèibèi never be cold to me again, let me and Xiǎo Bèibèi be forever intimate!

  The two of them hugged for about half a minute before Beibei pushed gently against the chest of the person in front of her and said softly, "That's enough, let me go!"

  "Oh." Shang Guan let go of her hands reluctantly, gazing at the sight of Bei Bei tidying up her hair and clothes, looking lovely, truly getting lovelier with each passing moment.

  To Beibei, why are you so beautiful? No wonder Zhang Tingting calls you a fox spirit, your beauty is almost inhuman.

  "What am I doing?" Smiling at Beibei: "Hugged enough, haven't seen enough yet!"

  "Hmm... that... that one... a... a..." Shangguan Nengren wanted to say "I'll never get tired of it", but this phrase was really too embarrassing for him, how thick-skinned would he have to be to say it out loud? Anyway, Shangguan Nengren couldn't bring himself to say it.

  Lowering her head: "When I can see it, I want to take a good look, in case one day I won't be able to see it anymore, and then I'll regret not taking a closer look."

  “……”

  Bai Bei gazed quietly at Shang Guan Neng Ren, her eyes becoming increasingly gentle. Although it was a very simple phrase, she felt that it was more pleasant to hear than any moving love words, making her feel joyful from the bottom of her heart.

  "A faint smile: 'How could that be! Want to see me? You can see me anytime, and if you behave well, I'll reward you with a lifetime of viewing.'"

  "Huh......really...... really?" Shang Guan Nengren lifted his head, extremely surprised and delighted.

  Feeling Shangguan Neng's heartfelt joy, he smiled at BeiBei with increasing gentleness: "I'm just afraid that by the time I'm old and worn out, you won't even want to look at me."

  "No, no." Officer Neng waved his hands repeatedly: "When you're old, I'll be an old monkey too. An old monkey needs to find an old companion, how could I not want to see that?"

  "Look at you." He chuckled and said to Beibei, "You can't say cheesy lines, but your words sound even better than cheesy lines. Keep it up, I'm rooting for you!"

  "Hmm..." Officer Shang was at a loss for words, his face twisted in distress.

  "Hehe......" Turning to Beibei with narrowed eyes, he pulled over Shangguan Nian's hands and said softly: "There is something that I think it's necessary for you to know."

  "You said." Shang Guan Neng's hand turned over and grasped Bei Bei's, their fingers intertwining together, holding tightly.

  Lowering her eyelids to Beibei, gazing at the hands that were clasped together with Shangguan Nian's, she smiled faintly, lifted her head, and stared into Shangguan Nian's eyes, saying softly: "Speaking out might disappoint you, but I'm not a good girl from a good family."

  "I know." After a silence of two or three seconds, Shangguan Nian looked at Xiang Beibei and said, "I know what kind of person you are."

  "Really..." Bebe seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, the sweat on her palms gradually drying up, and smiled: "How did you know?"

  "Hmm..." Officer Neng said in a low voice: "I know a police officer, she told me."

  Is that policewoman Xu Jingru?

  "It's a female cop!" He winked at Beibei with a smile: "And very pretty, great figure, and quite tall, matching you perfectly when standing together."

  "Hmm... what's going on here! Don't talk nonsense, I don't have anything to do with her, just some past encounters and a bit of human connection, but speaking of which..." Shangguan Nengren glared at him: "How did you know?"

  "What do you think?" He smiled at Beibei and suddenly asked a very strange question: "Did you call that policewoman on the day of the attack?"

  "Huh... did you know that too?" Shang Guan Neng felt a bit embarrassed: "Yeah! At the time, Bai Yutang hired thugs to beat me up, but those people were too weak and ended up getting taken care of by me. I didn't know how to deal with it at the time, so I called her for help."

  "It's no wonder..." nodded towards Beibei, no wonder she got rid of the trap for no reason that day.

  Bai Bei stared at Shang Guan Neng Ren with a strange gaze, and Shang Guan Neng Ren stuttered: "D...do what?"

  He smiled at Beibei and said, "It's okay, how is your relationship with her?"

  "Hmm...I guess it's okay!" Shang Guan Neng thought for a moment: "It's relatively familiar."

  "Oh." Beibei nodded thoughtfully.

  Shangguan Nengren was afraid of misunderstanding with Beibei, so he carefully asked: "What's the point of asking this?"

  "Hehe, just asking. With a slight smile towards Beibei, looking into Shangguan Nian's eyes: "Knowing my identity, why do you still want to be friends with me? Although I know I'm very pretty, but you don't seem like the kind of person who would risk their life for beauty."

  Shang Guan Nengren knew that he had brought up a crucial issue to Bei Bei, an insurmountable chasm between the two of them. The future of both of them depended on how he would answer.

  Taking a deep breath, Shang Guan's eyes were sincere as he looked at Bei Bei, his tone genuine: "True friends have nothing to do with family background. All I know is that I want to be friends with you, and even if I knew what kind of family you came from, it wouldn't stop me from wanting to be friends with you."

  She gave Beibei a faint smile, but her expression was very calm, as if she wasn't quite satisfied with this answer.

  "But...” Shang Guan's eyes dimmed, his voice low and husky: "I originally wanted to be yours... Although I knew you rejected me because of your concerns about this aspect, but after finding out your identity a few days ago, I thought a lot about why you would reject me? I clearly felt that you weren't indifferent or apathetic towards me, your concern for me wasn't fake either, so why did you specifically reject me?"

  "It wasn't until I found out who you were that I understood, and I roughly guessed how you thought at the time, and roughly guessed how hard it was for you to bear, so at the time I was very disheartened, hating myself for being useless, not worthy of you."

  Upon hearing this, Xiang Bei smiled slightly and tightened his grip on Shang Guan's hand.

  Feeling the movement towards Beibei, Shangguan Nianlin smiled at her, but it was a fake smile, and his eyes were not smiling, looking very awkward.

  "Actually, I knew your concerns afterwards, and after thinking about it from my own perspective for a long time, I finally came to a conclusion..."

  Xiang Beibei gazed quietly at Shang Guan Nengren, but Shang Guan Nengren felt that her palms were wet, apparently Xiang Beibei's inner heart was not as calm as the surface.

  Looking at the bright eyes that shone like a starry sky, Shangguan Nian's voice was low and husky as he said, "I and you... really can't be!"
