Actually, she wanted to leave at lunchtime, but then she thought about Xu Lin's 1500-meter race in the afternoon, and she needed to cheer for him.

In every important moment of Xu Lin's life, Yu Xinyan has never been absent.

During the two runs in the morning, one being a 100 meters and the other 400 meters, Yu Xinyan took 19 photos of Xu Lin, capturing every exciting instant as she saw it.

At this moment, her phone's photo album had already stored 23,703 photos of Xu Lin.

In the afternoon, she still needed to document.

Yu Xinyan could not be absent from Xu Lin's life.

This was Yu Xinyan's dedication, something others might not understand.

But in this world, besides her parents, only Xu Lin cared for her unconditionally.

In her youth, Xu Lin had always been a significant character.

And the only one.

Just like the summer when they graduated from junior high school, there was a torrential rain in the city, starting at noon and lasting until the evening, causing water levels to rise.

Yu Xinyan was trapped inside a supermarket.

Because the supermarket was in a low area, it was flooded, reaching knee height, and the people trapped inside were very scared.

The rain lasted a long time, and Yu Jianhua was on a business trip out of town, and her mother was also stranded at her workplace.

And that day, Xu Lin rode his small electric scooter, braving the dark, oppressive sky, the torrential rain, and the thunder and lightning, to reach her.

Perhaps at that time, only Xu Lin was out and about.

He was drenched and had even fallen, with his knee still bleeding.

The moment Yu Xinyan saw him, she burst into tears.

So even if Yu Xinyan was feeling very down at that moment, even if she was struggling to breathe.

She did not leave.

She wanted to wait until Xu Lin finished his 1500 meters before leaving.

She couldn't be absent from Xu Lin's life.

The afternoon arrived quickly.

It was just past two when Xu Lin woke up, with Ning Yuhuan teasing his eyelashes to wake him.

"What time is it?"

"Two ten, time to get ready for the run!"

"Oh."

Only then did Xu Lin sit up, casually picking up Ning Yuhuan's water bottle to drink.

Gulp, gulp.

Huh?

Why was Yu Xinyan here?

Only now did Xu Lin notice Yu Xinyan sitting opposite him.

He was still groggy, only just remembering that Yu Xinyan had been at Finance University this morning.

Sometimes, when people first wake up, their brain can freeze; it takes a few seconds to recover.

Then, everyone headed to the soccer field.

The afternoon sports event was scheduled to start at 2:30, but the actual competition wouldn't commence for another ten minutes or so.

So it officially started at 2:45.

Xu Lin was in the first batch to run the 1500 meters at 2:45.

After arriving, Xu Lin went to the registration desk to check the list and found out that there were eight people running with him, four of whom were from his class, including Zhao Liangchen, Liu Longsheng, and another boy named Li Ye, who was from Zhao Liangchen's dormitory.

In the morning, Rong Xiyi was at the registration desk, but she wasn't there now.

Xu Lin didn't know where she had gone.

After looking around for a while, he finally saw Rong Xiyi coming over.

Rong Xiyi had just woken up not long ago, still looking a bit drowsy, and when she saw Xu Lin, she just gave him a glance without saying anything.

In the morning, she sent messages, but Xu Lin didn't reply. In her Moments, she posted three messages at first, followed by eight more emo posts later.

But Xu Lin still didn't respond.

Rong Xiyi swore not to talk to Xu Lin again!

This damned man, whoever likes him can have him!

If I talk to him one more time, I'll be a puppy!

Hmph!

Xu Lin could tell that Rong Xiyi was mad at him, but he didn't care. After interacting with her for a while, he gradually figured out Rong Xiyi's unique thought processes, which made no sense at all.

That's just how Rong Xiyi was. She felt like she had to maintain a cold demeanor this afternoon.

To make Xu Lin out of reach.

But then Rong Xiyi saw Yu Xinyan.

She was still there!

Unlike Rong Xiyi's feigned aloofness, Yu Xinyan was genuinely cold, a chill that emanated from her bones, keeping people at a distance, and she seemed to look at you with disdain.

Rong Xiyi almost lost her composure.

Instinctively, Rong Xiyi didn't like Yu Xinyan. It was the first time she disliked a girl so much, feeling that Yu Xinyan was even more annoying than Ning Yuhuan.

So, Rong Xiyi thought, as long as Xu Lin didn't stay away from Yu Xinyan, she would never pay attention to him for the rest of her life.

Soon, it was time for Xu Lin to run the 1500 meters.

All eight boys stood at the starting line on the track.

Yu Xinyan and Rong Xiyi were on the track's edge, while Ning Yuhuan had been called away by the student council and wasn't there.

By then, Yu Xinyan had already opened her phone camera to take pictures of Xu Lin.

Rong Xiyi inadvertently glanced over and saw Yu Xinyan taking pictures, feeling as if her man was being sneakily photographed by another woman.

Rong Xiyi felt irritated instantly.

"Why are you taking pictures of him?"

Rong Xiyi immediately went over to question her.

Yu Xinyan turned to look at her and simply said, "Get lost!"

Yu Xinyan was cold, entirely different from the cute girl in front of Xu Lin.

In front of outsiders, Yu Xinyan was extremely cold, and it wasn't an act. One couldn't fake this type of coldness, just as emotions like "anger" can only truly erupt when one is genuinely angry, instead of being acted out like an actor portraying feelings.

"Why should I get lost? Is this your place?"

Rong Xiyi was not convinced.

"So why does me taking pictures of Xu Lin concern you?"

"He is my..."

Damn it, Xu Lin is a jerk, what is my relationship with him?

Rong Xiyi and Xu Lin weren't in a defined relationship but acted like a couple.

The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt, asking Xu Lin to break up with Ning Yuhuan, but he just played dead, replying to messages sporadically.

Rong Xiyi said, "Anyway, you can't take pictures of him!"

Yu Xinyan glanced at her, then asked, "Do you like Xu Lin?"

"Yes!"

Rong Xiyi replied without thinking.

"Then do you know how long I've liked him?"

"How long?"

Rong Xiyi frowned.

Yu Xinyan continued, "I have over twenty thousand photos of him on my phone, from the first semester of seventh grade until now, a full six years, capturing every instant of his youth, as long as I was there! So, regarding who likes him more, I like him more than you, ten thousand times more! A million times more!"

Yu Xinyan sneered, added, "Furthermore, whether you like him or whoever likes him, it's none of my business! But my liking him is my business, and you have no right to interfere! Not even his girlfriend! And certainly not you, an outsider!"
