"Truly shameless, he even killed his own brother."
"Such a ruthless person. I thought he really had something with Miss Xun Er, but it turns out he's just a madman. Miss Xun Er would definitely never fall for such a despicable man."
"Exactly. Killing his own brother, he's worse than a beast."
"Have you noticed? Xiao Mei and Xiao Yu have become even more beautiful. There aren't many school beauties at Canaan Academy, but the Xiao Family alone occupies three spots."
"Ahhh. Who exactly is this Xu Ran? I heard that Xiao Xun'er and the others fell for this Xu Ran before they even came to Canaan Academy. That Xu Ran is really something, courting three at once? Is he even human?"
"Yeah. When that Xu Ran arrives, we definitely need to teach him a lesson. Taking advantage of the goddesses when they were young and naïve, damn it."
Xiao Yan was shouting and calling out Xiao Xun'er's name, drawing a crowd of onlookers.
At Canaan Academy, Xun Er had many admirers, most of whom were super geniuses. Even those who had not explicitly confessed their feelings to Xun Er also harbored affection for her.
In the past, there were no shortage of people confessing to Xun Er.
So seeing Xiao Yan, they were not particularly surprised.
But Xiao Yan's character was just too poor, wasn't it? How could someone so lacking in self-awareness think of pursuing Xun Er? Ugly in looks and ambitions?"
"Xiao Yu, Xiao Mei, can you call Xun Er out for me? I'm sincere, Xiao Xun'er and I are the perfect match. Xun Er resents and hates me for what I've done in the past, and it's all my fault. But I truly didn't do it on purpose, it was all because of Xu Ran," Xiao Yan pleaded.
He didn't care about his own reputation, he just wanted to see Xun Er as soon as possible, confess his feelings to her, and win back her affection.
Then, he would expose all of Xu Ran's actions and let everyone see Xu Ran's true colors.
In this world, Xu Ran was the most evil person!
"Xiao Yan, I'm here, just say what you want to say. I won't allow you to say a single bad word about Brother Xu Ran, otherwise don't blame me for being rude." Xun Er, dressed in a black dress, moved gracefully towards him.
Her slender waist was like that of a willow leaf, just enough to be encircled with one hand, her three-thousand strands of hair loosely tied with a light purple ribbon; when the breeze blew, the hair fluttered, giving the girl a transcendent and elegant demeanor.
This quality made the surrounding noisy environment quiet down.
They were all astonished; did Xiao Yan really know the goddess?
Xiao Mei and Xiao Yu knowing Xiao Yan was one thing, but the goddess Xun Er too?
What exactly was Xiao Yan's background?
Could it be that Xiao Yan was really childhood friends with Xiao Xun'er?
They all shared the Xiao surname!
Suddenly, these people discovered a whole new world!
At the same time, they all glared at Xiao Yan with anger.
To think he was childhood friends with the goddess Xun Er, and yet scorned by three goddesses at the same time! This stirred them to action!
"Xun Er, I've missed you so much! Who would have thought our path of love would be so bumpy, this is a trial from the heavens," Xiao Yan said, looking at the beautiful Xun Er, his eyes brimming with tears.
He missed Xun Er terribly.
Ever since he found out that Xu Ran had stooped to such despicable methods to take Xun Er away, he had been filled with guilt. Guilt and love intertwined, deepening his feelings for Xun Er.
And as his hatred for Xu Ran grew, getting Xun Er back had become one of his means of revenge against Xu Ran.
He had never won against Xu Ran, neither in terms of strength nor wit, and winning back Xun Er was one way to boost his own confidence.
Therefore, no matter what, the obsession in his heart to win back Xun Er was even deeper than his obsession to grow stronger and defeat Xu Ran.
"Xiao Yan, aren't you disgusting? How did you treat me back then? Missing me? You only make me feel sick. You probably say the same to all women, don't you? You don't deserve it!" Xun Er said coldly, her eyes full of disgust as she looked at Xiao Yan.
Her heart for Xiao Yan had long since died.
This was something Xiao Yan couldn't have possibly imagined.
In the heart of a traditional girl like Xun Er, there could only be one partner. If it weren't for Xu Ran, perhaps she could have been swayed by Xiao Yan's words and rekindled old feelings. But now that Xun Er and Xu Ran had shared such intimacy, from that moment on, her heart belonged only to Xu Ran, with no room for anyone else.
Even knowing Xu Ran used such methods to get her, and knowing that he deliberately made a fool of Xiao Yan, she wouldn't blame Xu Ran. At that time, she would only think from Xu Ran's perspective and even find it funny and amusing.
Whose side you take decides your judgment.
Xiao Yan still couldn't see through this.
Once a person's feelings are broken, it is very hard to mend them.
Some women, when their feelings break, tie the ends like a thread and can reconnect it. But is Xun Er that kind of woman? Clearly not!
Once Xun Er fell in love with Xu Ran, it was a sign that she had stopped loving Xiao Yan completely. Otherwise, she would rather be single than be with someone else. Once she loved Xu Ran, she simply erased all her feelings for Xiao Yan.
So the thread of feelings between Xiao Yan and Xun Er had long disappeared, not just broken, impossible to mend.
"Xun Er, you don't know, all those were Xu Ran setting me up!"
"I didn't realize back then that you were coerced by Xu Ran; he even made sure I saw it, leading me to misunderstand that your heart had changed, which led to everything that happened afterward," Xiao Yan quickly explained.
Seeing the coldness and disgust in Xun Er's eyes, he felt his heart was about to shatter.
How wonderful was the past Xun Er?
Back then, Xun Er followed behind him, always calling him Brother Xiao Yan, the two of them inseparable childhood sweethearts. Even when he was looked down upon by many for losing his talent, the beautiful girl Xun Er stayed by his side. That was the only thing he took pride in at that time.
Sometimes, when he was too despondent, he would take Xun Er for a walk on the streets, basking in the envious gazes of others, which made him feel proud.
It was also Xun Er's company that helped him through those miserable times.
Now, he realized how good Xun Er was; in his heart, she was the best girl in the world, yet he had let such a wonderful girl slip through his fingers.
Now, Xun Er was becoming more beautiful, but her heart towards him was growing colder.
Had he really lost such an amazing girl? He was simply inhuman.
So beautiful, even if she really did have something happen with someone else, as long as she stayed by his side, wouldn't it be as if it didn't happen? How could he have been so foolish?
