Lin Wanbai had no idea that her actions would make Mu Zilin dislike her.
After they had walked around the field a few times, Shuishui and Mu Qing returned to the classroom. Mu Zilin had accompanied them, so they planned to go back to the classroom together.
Lin Wanbai pulled Mu Zilin back. "Zilin, let's walk a bit more."
Shuishui shrugged. "Mu Qing and I will go up first. You guys can catch up. Mu Qing, let's go."
"Okay." Mu Qing held Shuishui's hand as they quickly left the field.
"Shuishui, do you think Lin Wanbai is deliberately avoiding us?" Mu Qing was overthinking and could not help but ask.
They walked on the small path back to the school. They felt the gentle breeze cool their faces. The air smelled of the pleasant fragrance of grass and soil. Shuishui stopped. She ignored Mu Qing's question and said, "The weather today is good."
"Yes, it is not bad. Quickly, answer me. That Lin Wanbai is a little scheming. What do you think?" Mu Qing wanted to talk about Lin Wanbai and was puzzled by some of her actions.
Qian Shuishui sighed and said, "Other people's matters have little to do with us. Lin Wanbai and Mu Zilin are dating. That's their concern. It would be inappropriate for us to intervene. If their feelings towards each other change, it would have nothing to do with us. Therefore, we don't need to talk about them."
"If they break up, we will definitely stand by Mu Zilin." Mu Qing didn't quite understand.
"Then let me give you an analogy. You have a boyfriend, but that boyfriend—how should I put it—isn't very likable. But you really like that boy. One day, that boy betrayed you and broke his legs, but he broke his legs for someone you know. Would you want others to know about it, or would you want to handle it yourself and let the boy suffer in other ways?" Shuishui was unsure about her example, but she was trying to drive a point home.
"I don't really like it when people gossip about me. Shuishui, I understand what you mean. All right. I won't gossip like this and talk about it, unless Mu Zilin initiates the topic." Mu Qing understood what Shuishui meant. She remembered a sentence: "Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you." She realized that it was indeed not good for her to talk about others when she herself didn't like being talked about.
Shuishui didn't really like to gossip about others. Mu Qing would always be the one talking about others while Shuishui would just listen. But she felt that it didn't matter. For her, it was fine to gossip once in a while, as long as she didn't gossip about the people close to her.
They chatted and laughed as they returned to class. Some of their classmates had already laid down for their afternoon break. Shuishui also sat back down and had a good rest.
She laid down and took a quiet afternoon break. The other students were also quiet and slept soundly.
Shuishui got up after a short nap and started to read.
When Mu Zilin arrived at the classroom, he knocked on Shuishui's desk. "Why do you think girls are so troublesome?"
"This is your business." Shuishui looked up and continued to read her book.
"Stop reading and help me analyze it." Mu Zilin told Shuishui.
Shuishui was speechless. She felt that Zilin had nothing to do. "Okay. Tell me. If I can help you, I will definitely help."
"Actually, I feel that Lin Wanbai and I are not suitable. Is it not good for me to break up with her now?" Mu Zilin went straight to the point.
Shuishui was stunned. "Break up? What's the main reason?"
"It's just that I feel that she is acting like a little princess. She always says that you guys hate her. She always asks why you treat her a certain way. She is a little annoyed with such behavior. I feel that she will sow discord," Mu Zilin said straightforwardly.
"Eh, this is not considered sowing discord, right? But look at yourself. Determine whether you like her or not. If you don't like each other that much, it would be best to break up early. It will be good for both parties. But your tone should be better. Don't make her feel too bad." Shuishui reminded Zilin to be mindful of the feelings of others.
