As the training session ended, students began leaving the arena.
Ye Fan turned to leave as well.
But suddenly, someone blocked his path.
It was Zhao Tian.
He looked down at Ye Fan with a mocking smile.
"So you're still chasing Lin Xue?"
Several students nearby began laughing.
Zhao Tian continued,
"Do you really think someone like you deserves her?"
Ye Fan remained silent.
At that moment, Lin Xue walked toward them.
For a brief moment, Ye Fan felt a small hope in his heart.
But Lin Xue's expression was cold.
"Ye Fan," she said calmly.
"We should talk."
The surrounding students immediately became curious.
Lin Xue continued speaking.
"Our families may have been close in the past."
"But things have changed."
She glanced at Zhao Tian before continuing.
"You and I live in completely different worlds now."
The words felt like a knife piercing Ye Fan's chest.
"From now on… please stop following me."
The crowd began whispering.
Some even laughed.
Ye Fan lowered his head slightly.
"…I understand."
Without saying anything else, he walked away.
Behind him, Zhao Tian laughed.
But no one noticed the cold expression slowly forming in Ye Fan's eyes.
