Chapter 284 You...how could you do this?
At the first light of dawn, the first ray of sunlight penetrated the mist and gently sprinkled on the campus of Qingteng High School.
Between the teaching buildings, light and shadow interweave, as if every ray of light is telling an unknown secret.
On this quiet and slightly dull morning, a story about misunderstanding and redemption quietly begins.
---
Gu Chen, the recognized academic master and school idol of Qingteng High School, his presence is like a ray of warm sunshine in winter, warm but not dazzling.
Lu Jin is the boy who always likes to hide in the corner and sketch his dreams with a paintbrush. His world is full of colors and fantasies, but few people can really enter it.
By chance, Gu Chen found Lu Jin immersed in a painting in the corner of the library.
On the drawing paper, there is a man standing on the beach with his back to the setting sun, his outline made particularly gentle by the golden light.
At that moment, Gu Chen's heart was gently touched. He had never seen such a delicate and affectionate picture, and he never thought that the author of this painting was the "invisible person" in his eyes.
"You draw so well."
Gu Chen's voice broke the silence around him, with a hint of imperceptible tenderness.
Lu Jin suddenly looked up, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he quickly lowered his head, his cheeks slightly red.
"Thanks, I…I was just drawing."
The conversation between the two was brief and awkward, but at that moment, the threads of fate quietly intertwined, and the two originally parallel hearts began to intersect.

As time goes by, Gu Chen and Lu Jin have more and more interactions.
From the initial occasional encounters, they later became friends who could talk about anything, and even became indispensable in each other's lives.
However, this friendship gradually changed in the eyes of others, especially when Gu Chen's unintentional pampering and protectiveness made people around him start whispering, and some even mistakenly thought that there was a feeling between them that went beyond friendship.
"Gu Chen, you don't... like Lu Jin, do you?"
One afternoon, my good friend Li Hao asked half-jokingly and half-seriously.
Gu Chen frowned slightly when he heard this, then smiled with relief:
"Like? Maybe, but it's a pure and beautiful emotion that transcends gender."
However, these words failed to quell the rumors, but instead made things more complicated.
Lu Jin, a sensitive and delicate boy, began to feel unprecedented pressure and trouble.
He was afraid that this precious friendship would deteriorate due to misunderstandings from the outside world, and he was even more afraid that he would lose Gu Chen, an important person in his life.
---
A misunderstanding swept in like a storm, pushing the relationship between the two to the brink of collapse.
That day, Lu Jin accidentally saw an unsent message on Gu Chen's mobile phone. The words were full of ambiguity and dependence, but the recipient was an unfamiliar name.
At that moment, Lu Jin's heart seemed to be hit by a heavy hammer, and he felt unprecedented loss and anger.
"Gu Chen, you...how could you do this?"
Lu Jin's voice trembled and his eyes were red.
Gu Chen was stunned. He didn't expect that his negligence would cause such serious consequences.
He hurried to explain, but his words sounded pale and powerless to Lu Jin.
"Enough, I don't want to listen." Lu Jin turned and left, his back looking resolute and lonely.
That night, the moonlight was like water, but it could not shine into Gu Chen's cold heart.
He realized that he might have really lost the person who was willing to walk with him.

After losing Lu Jin, Gu Chen felt like he had lost his soul. He began to reflect on his behavior and tried to find a way to make amends.
After some effort, he finally found the real source of the message - a prankster classmate who tried to destroy their friendship in this way.
The truth is revealed, but Gu Chen knows that it will not be easy to repair this rift.
He decided to use his actions to prove that no matter how noisy the outside world was, his feelings for Lu Jin remained consistent, pure and firm.
He began to write to Lu Jin every day, telling him about his feelings, his studies, and his aspirations for the future.
Each letter is full of sincerity and affection, like rays of warm sunshine, trying to penetrate the haze in Lu Jin's heart.
Finally, one evening after the rain, Lu Jin stood at the school gate, holding tightly in his hand the latest letter sent by Gu Chen.
He looked up at the sky. The air after the rain was particularly fresh, as if even his mood was cleansed.
He took a deep breath and decided to give this friendship a chance to start over.

When Lu Jin appeared in front of Gu Chen again, both of them looked a little embarrassed.
But soon, the long-lost tacit understanding and warmth spread again.
"Gu Chen, I...I figured it out."
Lu Jin's voice was choked with sobs.
"I shouldn't have given up our friendship so easily, and I shouldn't have made you sad because of a misunderstanding."
Gu Chen's eyes moistened when he heard this. He held Lu Jin's hand tightly.
"Thank you, Jin. Having you by my side is my greatest fortune."
The two smiled at each other, and all the misunderstandings and estrangements disappeared at this moment.
They walked side by side on the path of the campus, the setting sun stretching their shadows very long, as if foreshadowing the path of this friendship...
