Ding Rong’s departure made Huo You heave a sigh of relief. She did not want Ding Rong to see her throwing away her pride to apologize to Huo Tian.

Huo You lowered her eyes and didn’t look at Huo Tian’s expression. She only said in a calm and undulating tone, “Huo Tian, I’m here to apologize. I’m sorry for doing so many overboard things to you in the past. I hope you can forgive what I have done.”

Huo You fell silent after saying that.

Actually, she also knew that her apology was lacking in words and didn’t have any credibility. If she wanted to obtain Huo Tian’s forgiveness, it was best to show her true feelings or to reveal how much she regretted her actions through tears. Only then could she show that she was truly remorseful.

However, Huo You realized that she couldn’t do that. Even if she had no choice but to apologize to Huo Tian, this was the best she could do.

And in the face of such an insincere apology, she would definitely not be forgiven, right?

Huo You thought Huo Tian would humiliate her arrogantly, but she didn’t expect Huo Tian’s attitude to be completely different from what she had imagined.

It should be said that Huo Tian was also a little shocked. She stared at Huo You blankly for a while and finally confirmed that Huo You was just here to apologize to her.

She immediately felt at a loss. She even wondered if Huo You had taken the wrong medicine.

After a long while, Huo Tian probed, “Actually, I didn’t take those small troubles you gave me in school seriously at all. There’s no need for you to come and apologize to me…”

Huo You looked up at Huo Tian and realized that she wasn’t wearing the mocking expression she had imagined. She was a little stunned and after a moment of silence, she suddenly laughed.

Huo You’s laugh puzzled Huo Tian even more. She looked at Huo You in confusion.

Huo You laughed for a long while before she restrained herself and said, “Huo Tian, I really do hate you. Only now do I realize that you didn’t take it to heart despite me targeting you so many times in the past. In your eyes, am I a small rock blocking the road? You can easily kick me away or walk around me, so you’ve never looked at my provocation seriously?”

In the past, Huo Tian had always felt that Huo You was an idiot, but now, looking at Huo You’s self-deprecating expression, she suddenly felt that she wasn’t that stupid.

Huo Tian didn’t have any intention of saving face for others and said directly, “That’s right, sometimes I really think you’re very annoying, but this annoyance isn’t enough for me to deal with you. How should I put it? Just as you described, a rock that wanted to trip me suddenly appeared on the originally flat road, and I just needed to use a little force to kick it away. Why should I care about this rock?”

Upon hearing Huo Tian’s words, Huo You suddenly covered her face. Her shoulders were trembling, and it was unknown if she was laughing or crying.

Huo Tian just looked at her quietly. After a long while, Huo You sorted out her emotions and moved her hand away from her face. Only then did Huo Tian realize that there were no tears on her face, but her eyes were a little red. She looked like she had suffered a huge blow.

Huo Tian felt that Huo You was a little strange today. She didn’t want to probe into Huo You’s psychological journey, so she said, “Why did you come to find me today? Tell me, I don’t want to waste my time on unimportant people.”

If it was in the past, Huo You might have been angry when Huo Tian described her as an “unimportant person”, but today, she couldn’t be angry at all.

After all, Huo You had just found out Huo Tian’s true opinion of her.. She was just a rock that blocked the road and it was true that she wasn’t worth the other party’s time…
