Chapter 773: Chapter 776: A Person You Can’t Reach Chapter 773: Chapter 776: A Person You Can’t Reach “Don’t go!” Liu Yiyi urgently grabbed Xiao Han’s arm, saying, “Don’t leave!”

“Your servant is still watching outside.” Xiao Han looked at Liu Yiyi, saying, “They saw you drowsy in my arms when I brought you up, who knows what they might think I’m up to? It’s not good for me to stay here too long at this time!”

After hearing Xiao Han’s words, Liu Yiyi thought there was some sense in them, so she could only nod and say, “Okay, you have to come see me tomorrow!”

“Mhm!” Xiao Han nodded.

He agreed for the time being, just to stop the girl from clinging on to him. Besides, the girl wasn’t lacking friends now. Previously, when she was sick, nobody wanted to get close to her, for fear her terminal illness was contagious. But now things were different, Liu Yiyi had recovered, so those who had kept their distance were gradually returning, whether men or women, fair-weather friends or hangers-on, they were all coming back.

In this period, Liu Yiyi had been so happy that she forgot all her worries, with all her friends returning, she was naturally busy socializing every day, too lazy to even go to school. Previously, her sickness was the reason; now it was to keep up with her entourage of fair-weather friends that she skipped school.

“Right!” Xiao Han suddenly stopped, saying, “You’ve missed half a month of school this term, now that you’ve recovered, isn’t it time you should go back to school?”

“I…” Liu Yiyi murmured upon hearing this, saying, “What’s so good about school?”

“You’re still a student at Shuimu University.” Xiao Han looked at Liu Yiyi seriously, saying, “The only reason you’ve been able to skip school is that Principal Chen made an exception for you. But now that your illness is cured, you must go to school.”

“Oh!” Liu Yiyi obediently nodded.

“You must go to school tomorrow,” Xiao Han said.

“Mhm!” Liu Yiyi smiled playfully, saying, “I’ll definitely go to school tomorrow.”

“That’s more like it.” Xiao Han nodded in satisfaction.

Watching Xiao Han’s departing figure, Liu Yiyi realized for the first time that the person who truly cared about her in this world was not her father, nor her friends, but Xiao Han. When she was sick, he didn’t leave her, and even went to great lengths to help her find a matching bone marrow donor. Now that she was well, he didn’t lord it over her as her benefactor, telling her what to do. Instead, he earnestly advised her to attend her classes.

Beep beep beep…

Suddenly, the sound of a ringing phone broke the silence.

“Hello…” Liu Yiyi answered the call.

“Yiyi, shall we hit the bar tonight?” Xiao Mei asked excitedly.

“No!” Liu Yiyi shook her head, saying, “I’m going back to school tomorrow, I can’t go out to play with you guys anymore.”

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone, and finally, Xiao Mei spoke, “Are you crazy?”

“I’m not crazy!” Liu Yiyi shook her head and then said, “I am still a student!”

“What student schmudent!” Xiao Mei hurriedly tried to persuade her, saying, “Have you forgotten the promise you made when you were sick? If time could let you start over, you’d do all the crazy things in the world!”

“Right, I haven’t forgotten!” Liu Yiyi nodded.

“Then why do you want to go back to school?” Xiao Mei asked, puzzled.

“Because I want to do something even crazier.” The corners of Liu Yiyi’s mouth rose slightly, revealing a more enchanting smile, mysterious and unfathomable.

“What crazy thing?” Xiao Mei asked curiously.

“I want to chase a boy!” Liu Yiyi said, enunciating each word.

The other end of the line fell silent again.

After a while, Xiao Mei said, “Then… what about A’Liang?”

“A’Liang and I are just friends,” Liu Yiyi replied coldly, saying, “It was all a misunderstanding.”

Regarding A’Liang, he was a singer at a nightclub, with a good voice. The first time he saw Liu Yiyi, he sang a moving love song to her in the bar. It created quite a stir on the spot. Liu Yiyi didn’t refuse, but she didn’t accept either. They maintained a friendship, but to others, they seemed like a match made in heaven.

Who would have thought that Liu Yiyi would say such a thing now.

“Then you’ll have to explain it to A’Liang yourself,” Xiao Mei said with a laugh; “But this crazy thing you’re about to do sounds kind of fun. That boy you’re talking about wouldn’t happen to be that… the one who helped you, would it?”

“Yes!” Liu Yiyi nodded.

“Alright then,” Xiao Mei laughed, “I hope you don’t fall too hard. All men in this world are unreliable!”

With that, Xiao Mei hung up the phone.

Liu Yiyi fell into silence, staring out the window, unsure whether her choice was the right one. As Xiao Han was persuading her just moments ago, many thoughts surfaced in Liu Yiyi’s mind. She remembered the words Xiao Han said when he saved her. She also remembered Xiao Han’s tenderness towards her, the warm kiss they shared before she went into the operating room.

In recent days, she had been wildly carefree, every day going out on the town, and gradually, she realized she had lost a lot. And now, she had to pick up the pieces one by one.

Just as Liu Yiyi was recalling Xiao Han’s kindness and the warm memories between them.

“Yiyi…” Outside, A’Liang’s voice came through.

The sound harshly pulled Liu Yiyi out of her reminiscence. Liu Yiyi sighed, knowing that what she had been avoiding was inevitably upon her. She made her way downstairs and then walked out of the villa.

Ever since she had taken Xiao Mei and A’Liang to her home once, A’Liang had remembered where she lived and would come every few days, calling for her to go out and have fun. Now, she needed to resolve this matter; otherwise, he would keep coming to find her.

Liu Yiyi walked out, her long hair flowing and giving her an air of ethereal beauty.

“Yiyi, you’re so beautiful!” A’Liang shouted from several meters away.

Liu Yiyi smiled and said, “Thank you!”

“I’ve written a new song for you these past few days,” A’Liang said excitedly. “Will you come to the bar tonight? I’ll sing it to you in front of everyone, okay?”

A’Liang was a handsome young man who could attract a lot of girls. Moreover, many girls pursued him from behind the scenes. However, such bar resident singers changed girlfriends more often than they changed their underwear. A’Liang already had changed countless girlfriends before.

“No need!” Liu Yiyi shook her head and said, “In the future… I’m afraid I won’t be going to bars anymore.”

“Why?” A’Liang’s face immediately darkened.

“Because the person I like doesn’t want me to go to bars,” Liu Yiyi said frankly with a smile that revealed an even more stunningly beautiful expression.

A’Liang felt as if someone had stabbed him in the heart, realizing that the girl he liked had someone else she was fond of. A’Liang hurriedly asked, “Am I not your boyfriend?”

“Of course not!” Upon hearing that, Liu Yiyi said in surprise, “When did I acknowledge you as my boyfriend? We are just ordinary friends, okay?”

A’Liang frowned and then said, “But we spend almost every day together, and we’re always happy, you…”

“I am still a student right now,” Liu Yiyi said with a smile. “It’s not appropriate to go to the bar every day. I need to go back to school, back to class, and I have to complete my university studies.”

“Who is he?” A’Liang asked.

“Someone you’ll never be able to reach,” Liu Yiyi said seriously to A’Liang. “You should go back. Let’s try not to see each other in the future.”

“No!” As soon as A’Liang heard that Liu Yiyi wanted to leave him, he became frantic, grabbed Liu Yiyi’s hand, and said, “Yiyi, please don’t leave me. If there’s anything wrong or bad that I’ve done, just tell me, and I’ll change, okay?”

“Don’t do this!” Liu Yiyi immediately felt embarrassed and hurriedly said, “This is my home, and you’re acting like…”

Thump…

Suddenly, A’Liang knelt down and clung to Liu Yiyi’s legs, saying, “Yiyi, I can’t leave you. Please don’t leave me, okay?”

Liu Yiyi was completely stunned.

She had never imagined that a man could sacrifice his dignity in such a way. In her eyes, a man should be strong and unyielding, not even frowning in the face of dire peril. Yet, A’Liang had knelt before her.

“Please don’t do this!” Liu Yiyi spotted a neighbor passing by and tried to pull A’Liang to his feet.

But she found that her strength was far too little to lift him; she could only whisper, “Can you get up first, then we can talk, okay?”

“No, I won’t get up unless you agree to me!” A’Liang held tightly onto Liu Yiyi’s legs.

Liu Yiyi appeared very helpless as she saw how stubborn he was, and losing her temper, she said, “If you won’t get up, so be it.”

After saying this, Liu Yiyi turned and entered her house, shutting the villa’s large gate behind her.

A’Liang knelt outside the door, looking exceptionally desolate.

On the street, many passersby from the neighborhood saw the scene.

“Oh my, a grown man, why is he kneeling?”

“Who would make the girl so beautiful?”

The passersby discussed animatedly, such scenes usually seen only on television or in the news, never expecting to witness it firsthand, which certainly drew the interest of many older onlookers to gather and watch the spectacle.

Liu Yiyi was known to be quick-tempered, although she could also be gentle at times. However, if anyone offended her, she would definitely not show them a good face.

A’Liang had just managed to make Liu Yiyi angry.

But once Liu Yiyi returned home, she felt she might have been too harsh. Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window on the second floor, she stealthily looked down at the gate, only to find to her surprise that A’Liang hadn’t left and was still kneeling at the doorstep.

“Why is this guy so persistent?” Liu Yiyi frowned.

“Miss, is your friend at the door alright?” the maid asked with an awkward expression.
