Chapter 230 Unrequited love is the most hurtful

"Pay for eggs? Yuan'er, what's going on? Did you really bully me? Tell me." Ting Nan was a little angry.

Mu Zhiyuan was frantic, pacing back and forth. "Really, no, Brother Nan! Those kids are all spoiled rotten. I just showed them a couple of tricks and they burst into tears. Don't you believe me? It's all my mom's fault for not explaining things clearly. She gave away eggs, but they brought back even more gifts. Mom, please explain yourself clearly. Can you and Dad please stop badmouthing me to Brother Nan?"

Jiang Qianqian said with a smile, "Yes, yes, some parents have realized their mistakes in education and have come to ask for advice. Then they sent their children to the Gao Family Martial Arts School. You use etiquette to win people over, and force is just an auxiliary measure. Now you are the boss of this area."

"Really? Well done, Yuan'er! Come on, it's still early, let's go practice?" Ting Nan also became interested.

"Yay! Brother Nan understands me best!" Mu Zhiyuan's expression immediately changed. Brother Nan was praising him!

They've practiced together for a while now and know each other's strengths and weaknesses. This kid has really put in the effort; he's better than Mingxiang and Mingli, and in some aspects even surpasses Mingfu. He just doesn't have Mingfu's sheer power, but he's better at cleverness and adaptability. "Yuan'er, which class are you in now?"

Mu Zhiyuan said confidently, "Brother Nan, I plan to challenge the coach of the Lingyun Class. If I succeed, I can enter the Fenghua Class. I think I will improve even more under Master Gao's guidance."

"Good! Keep it up! In a fight, if you can't deliver a decisive blow, you need to hit the opponent's vulnerable spot, the place where they're most afraid of pain..." Song Tingnan demonstrated.

"Tingnan, oh, it really is you!"

Upon hearing the voice, Ting Nan knew it was Tao Huahua. She told Yuan'er to practice on her own and went to greet her.

"Hua Hua! You've become even more beautiful in the past six months!" Ting Nan was also very happy to see her best friend.

"Hehehe, I heard from Teacher Jiang that you came back and asked my grandpa to help with the cooking, so I came along. It's been so long since I've seen you, have you grown taller again?"

"Oh? Hehe, tell me what you're studying?"

"I ended up going to nursing school and becoming a nurse."

"Sure! Angels in white!"

The two chatted about their recent lives, and Nan heard a lot of gossip about their classmates from Tao Huahua: who got married, who was pregnant, who had conflicts with their mother-in-law...

Tao Huahua asked somewhat awkwardly, "Ting Nan, do you... do you have any news about him?"

"Who? Oh...oh oh, Zhong Shengli? No one!" Ting Nan realized what was happening after being bumped by Tao Huahua's elbow.

"Tingnan, do you really not like him at all? He likes you so much!"

"Huahua, he and I are just ordinary classmates. You like him, right?"

Tao Huahua said helplessly, "Yes, I like him, but he doesn't like me. After you left at that graduation party, I confessed to him, and he rejected me very clearly. He was so heartless."

"Huahua..."

"Alright, stop trying to comfort me. Listen to Nan, do you think we should find someone we love, or someone who loves us?"

"Wouldn't it be better to love each other?"

"You don't understand. How many people in this world truly love each other? Just like how I'll definitely find it hard to fall deeply in love with someone again?"

"Huahua, how old are you? Isn't it too early to say that?"

"You're just a kid, you don't understand. Once you've given your heart and soul, it's hard to make a fuss again. Sigh!"

"What? I think you're just being pretentious. You two haven't reached that level of being deeply in love yet, have you? Have you ever been in a relationship?"

"Song Tingnan! You...you clueless guy, unrequited love is the most painful thing, do you understand?"

Hearing Nan shake her head, she truly didn't understand; if someone doesn't love you, then they don't love you.

"I'm not talking to you anymore. You're fourteen this year, right? It'll be a few more years before you understand. You'll get it later. After lunch, let's go for a walk." Tao Huahua adjusted quickly and was soon back to her crazy antics with Ting Nan.

In Tingnan's current view, love is not a necessity of life, so why bother with it? Don't those chivalrous women all say that love affects the speed at which you draw your sword?
