Chapter 28: If You Can't Come, I'll Come Find You

The holiday cram school has started, and it's the beginning of Lu Xiaoyu's second round of remedial classes.
However, to my surprise, Yu Hao and He Peng are also in the cram school.
The explanation that Xiaohuya gave me at the time was: Xiaopengzi insisted on accompanying Miaomiao to the remedial class, but he appeared to be too deliberate alone, so he brought me along here. Brothers, wherever is needed, we show up there.
This is very different from He Peng's later explanation. Xiaopeng's version is: when he learned that Lulu was going to the cram school, Yuhao also wanted to go, but he felt embarrassed to come alone, so he forced himself to come along.
As expected, brothers, wherever there is a need, we will move there. We are very good at shifting this blame.
"How did you do on the exam?" Yu Hao approached me as soon as class ended and asked.
"Not that great," I hesitantly replied.
"And you?" I couldn't contain my curiosity about him, even though I knew in my heart that he couldn't have done badly.
"It's alright," Xiao Tiger Tooth responded briefly.
"You must be doing great, so low-key. He did really well this time," He Peng couldn't help but tease me when he heard such a modest response.
I wanted to ask about his ranking and school, but when I thought about how he was never wrong, I dismissed the idea of continuing to inquire.
In terms of learning, we are both friends and foes. The more confident he becomes, the more lonely and bitter I feel.
People, often envy those who are far away from them, but frequently envy those around them.
I envy him, but I also want to become him.
"I'm sorry, I can't keep our promise. I can't go to the best high school." Regarding this matter, I really need to apologize to Xiaohuya, even though it's not my intention.
Although it is a bit regretful, although we can't attend the same high school. Let's make a promise to attend the same city for college. This time, you can't break your promise again, okay? " Xiaohuya patted my head and lazily smirked.
"Can't go to the same high school? Didn't you decide?" Halfway through the conversation, Hepeng was interrupted by Miaomiao.
"How do you know again? It's not my place to say, it's their business. Why are you meddling and trying to join in the fun? Come here." And just like that, Xiaopeng left the group chat, being mercilessly dragged away by Miaomiao.
This child is going to be under his wife's control in the future. I deeply sympathize.
"Pfft." When I think about the difficult situation that Xiaopengzi will face in the future, a funny image comes to mind. Unintentionally, I burst out laughing.
When I noticed little Tigertooth next to me, I immediately stopped smiling.
"I, my mind is a little scattered, just thought of some images." The situation was a bit awkward, and I tried to steer the conversation in a different direction.
"I finally finished reading 'The Little Prince'. The Little Prince left the fox and returned to his planet to find his rose. The fox could only stay on his own planet, guarding the memories and waiting for the prince. If one day, the person you love leaves, would you wait for them?" Originally, I just wanted to change the topic, but now it has some serious meaning. I want to know Xiao Huya's attitude towards love.
"No." When I heard this answer, I felt somewhat disappointed.
"If she leaves, I will go to where she is to find her. If you can't come, I will come to find you." Xiao Tuzi looked into my eyes. It seemed like he was immersing himself in it, as if he had some kind of implication, as if he was promising me something.
I don't want to think about what it is specifically, and I dare not think about it either.
What makes it most difficult is not that he doesn't like me.
It's that I once thought we liked each other.
In the end, I realized that was just my own game.
From beginning to end.
I don't want to be that pitiful person.
If you can't come over, then I'll come find you.
If, one day, I leave.
Will you come find me?
