Is There a Kissing Segment Too?
Shrek Academy, Inner Court Office.
When Zhang Lexuan saw the words she had kept hidden for over twenty years in her diary, her hand holding the pen trembled slightly.
She looked up at the willow branches swaying in the wind outside the window, her eyes somewhat dazed.
It turns out that the things she thought she would never say were discovered in this way.
She thought she had let go long ago, but when she recalled those past events, her heart still ached.
"So, I've loved him for so long, and I can't even forget him in the future?"
She murmured softly, a bitter smile playing on her lips.
She hasn't yet reached the silent stage described in her diary; she's still in a state of resentment, since Bei Bei and Tang Ya haven't known each other for very long.
Therefore, apart from some resentment, Zhang Lexuan doesn't have many other feelings right now.
Even now, she doesn't feel the same deep affection for Bei Bei as she did later.
But after seeing her own ending in the diary, her heart wavered. Was she really going to follow the same old path?
Watching Bei Bei and Tang Ya grow sweeter and sweeter, becoming more and more inseparable, all she could do was watch silently from behind.
Zhang Lexuan asked herself honestly, and she didn't want to, at least not at this stage.
If a few more years pass, her feelings for Bei Bei might deepen even further, and she might hold an indelible place in her heart for the boy she'd watched grow up.
But now, Bei Bei's place in her heart is still mostly that of a sister and brother, with romantic feelings being less prominent.
As for Elder Mu En, she had already seen his attitude in his diary, so there was no need to consider him.
At worst, I can go find Mu En myself and explain things clearly, just like in the diary.
Zhang Lexuan rubbed her temples in anguish; she was utterly conflicted.
Zhang Lexuan finished recounting everything in one breath, as if she had unloaded a heavy burden that had been weighing on her heart for many years, and felt much lighter.
Meanwhile, Bei Bei, standing outside the light screen, was already in tears.
He collapsed to the ground, covered his face with his hands, and wept uncontrollably.
He never knew that the Senior Sister who had always silently sacrificed for him and protected him was actually deeply in love with him.
He reminisced about his childhood.
Every time he was bullied by other children, Zhang Lexuan would stand up for him.
Every time he encountered a bottleneck in his cultivation, Zhang Lexuan patiently guided him.
Every time he got sick and had a fever, Zhang Lexuan would stay by his bedside and take care of him without taking off her clothes.
He always thought it was just his sister showing concern for her brother.
Only now did he realize that hidden within was a woman's deepest and most selfless love.
He felt like a complete bastard.
For so many years, he took Zhang Lexuan's sacrifices for granted, but never noticed the loneliness in her eyes, and never cared whether she was doing well or not.
Just as Bei Bei was crying uncontrollably, Tang San's voice rang out again from the light screen, interrupting his thoughts.
"Since you love him so much, but he doesn't love you back, are you still willing to make sacrifices for him?"
Zhang Lexuan was silent for a moment, then raised her hand and gently wiped away the tears on her face.
Her gaze was unwavering as she looked into the void, answering each word clearly. "I do."
Tang San's voice held a hint of surprise. "Even if it meant dying for him, you would be willing?"
"I said I do."
Without the slightest hesitation, Zhang Lexuan nodded again, her tone unusually firm. "As long as he is safe, as long as he is happy, I am willing to do anything, even give my life."
Tang San seemed very satisfied with the answer. He remained silent for a moment, then casually offered a few bland comments.
Then, a soft light descended and enveloped Bei Bei and Zhang Lexuan.
The two have officially passed the first test.
Tang Ya silently read through the entire diary entry. She stared at the dark night sky outside the window, remaining silent for a long time, her expression unreadable, neither happy nor angry.
She now feels like a third party, a third party who suddenly barged in.
Although she knew she wasn't actually a third party, Zhang Lexuan was indeed Bei Bei's childhood sweetheart, and it was arranged by Mu En.
Although Bei Bei was unaware of this, there was indeed a suspicion of a third party involved.
Tang Ya lowered her head in anguish. What had she done wrong?
If she could, she would rather not know the truth.
Now that we know that Senior Sister Zhang Lexuan is Bei Bei's childhood sweetheart, how is she supposed to cope?
Should I pretend I don't know and continue to be with Bei Bei without feeling guilty?
She can't do it, she really can't.
Shrek Academy, Female Dormitory.
When Ning Tian saw Zhang Lexuan say she was willing to die for Bei Bei, she choked violently and coughed so hard that she spat out the water she had just drunk.
"Cough cough cough..."
Ning Tian patted his chest, taking a long time to catch his breath, his face full of shock.
"Really? For someone who doesn't love you, you'd risk your life? That's insane!"
But... to be honest, I really admire her; she can love someone to that extent.
Shrek Academy, Inner Court.
Upon seeing this, Ma Xiaotao, who had just finished a period of intense training, suddenly threw the towel on the ground and slammed her fist into the metal wall next to her, making a loud "thud" and leaving a shallow fist mark on the wall.
"That bastard Tang San!"
Ma Xiaotao trembled with rage, her eyes burning with fury. "Senior Sister Zhang Lexuan is already pitiful enough, and he still has to force her like this! It's just a stupid assessment, is it really necessary to torture her like this?"
After the first test was over, the light in the hall dimmed considerably, and a blinding golden light slammed down from above, condensing into a golden turntable taller than a person in front of everyone.
The edge of the turntable is engraved with intricate gold patterns, and the surface is divided into dozens of areas of varying sizes, each with a line of small characters written on it.
The golden light swept over the heads of everyone present, and finally, with a "whoosh," it firmly anchored itself to Xu Sanshi.
Xu Sanshi shivered as he was enveloped in the golden light, and his face instantly fell.
He was secretly praying that it wouldn't be his turn, but of all things, he was the first one hit.
But the rules left him no room to refuse, and the golden wheel started spinning on its own.
Xu Sanshi could only resign himself to staring at the spinning wheel, muttering to himself that he hoped for an easy task.
The wheel spun slower and slower until it finally clicked and stopped on the most prominent line of text: Kiss one of the people in the room at random.
Upon seeing these words, Xu Sanshi was stunned for three seconds before his eyes lit up.
He quickly scanned the people present, his mind racing with calculations.
