Chapter 50 I don't like you anymore

Chen Wan laughed. "Anyway, there's nothing innocent about this kind of person. It's good to teach him a lesson." He then joked, "But you're suddenly standing up for Xu Zhijian. Are you reconciling with him?"

Wen Nian walked down the street and replied, "No, let's not talk about him anymore. Let's talk about you. How have you been lately?"

"That's great." Shen Wan said cheerfully, "I don't have to work here. I have time to attend classes, travel around, and even have some fun at home with my brother. I'm so happy."

"That's good."

As soon as he finished speaking, a motorcycle came towards him.

The speed was not fast, but the noise was very loud. Wen Nian looked up and recognized that it was Xu Zhijian's car.

Xu Zhijian stopped in front of her, put one leg on the ground, and said to her, "Would you like to get in the car? I'll take you for a ride."

Wen Nian hesitated for a moment and said to the person on the other end of the phone, "Hang up Wanwan first. I'll call you another day."

He got her a new helmet.

Remembering that she had previously complained about him driving too fast, Xu Zhijian deliberately slowed down and asked behind him, "How's the speed?"

Wen Nian grabbed the hem of his shirt with one hand, "Okay."

"Hold me tighter, what if I fall down?" His words were filled with complaints, but there was a doting smile in his tone.

"Can't you just drive slower?"

“It’s boring if it’s too slow.”

The night view of Beijing was very beautiful. Wen Nian finally hugged him and concentrated on appreciating the scenery passing by on both sides. Yellow leaves were flying, and the cool breeze with the unique smell of autumn whistled past her ears. Apart from that, she could not perceive anything else.

Oh, and there’s also the smell of freedom.

The car finally stopped in front of a lake and the two stood by the railing.

Xu Zhijian breathed a sigh of relief towards the lake and asked the people around him, "Is it fun?"

Wen Nian hummed sincerely.

He then asked, "How are you feeling today?"

The other person's eyes were reflected in the neon lights, full of expectations. She stared at him for two seconds and then looked away.

Looking into the distance, he replied after a long while: "Xu Zhijian, let's be friends. I am also very good to my friends."

Xu Zhijian subconsciously frowned and refused outright: "Who wants to be friends with you? Wen Nian, we can either be lovers or enemies. No matter which one, I will stick with you for the rest of my life."

He didn't understand why she said that. Was she not in a good mood? After having been a close lover with her, how could he possibly be willing to be her friend?

At this moment, Xu Zhijian became anxious uncontrollably. He had tried every possible method during this period of time, so why did she still not agree to reconcile with him?

"Wen Nian, how can you forgive me? Tell me, I can do anything." He held her shoulders and said pleadingly, "I beg you, please don't play with me anymore, okay?"

Wen Nian clearly saw the trembling in his eyes.

Beg her.

This was probably the most embarrassing moment in the life of this rebellious young man. In order to win her back, he was willing to put down his status and self-esteem.

Why do we call him a young boy? In fact, in Wen Nian's heart, he will always be like a child who never grows up, childish, arrogant, but still bright and lively.

A sound spread across the silent lake, becoming the most indelible scar in Xu Zhijian's life.

"I'm sorry, I don't like you anymore."

——

Wen Nian's birthday is on October 5th, which coincides with the National Day holiday. Several friends planned the celebration for her on that day in advance.

Half a month has passed since I last rejected Xu Zhijian.

He was depressed for a few days, and then acted as if nothing had happened. He still tried to find ways to get close to her every day. The only difference was that he no longer mentioned getting back together.

On this day, one day before Wen Nian's birthday, Xu Zhijian found a way to get her home password, preparing to give her a surprise tomorrow.

The gift he had prepared for her a year ago was a pair of handmade crystal shoes. From the design to every diamond on them, he had designed them all by himself.

Unfortunately, she left before I could send it out last time.

I plan to give it as one of the gifts this time.

Wen Nian was going out to play tomorrow, so he had a good time to decorate the room. He asked her in advance if she would be back in the evening. She said yes, and he said he would wait for her.

——

The place for this birthday was chosen by Tian Xingyu, a barbecue and bar restaurant.

The hall is divided into grids, used for barbecue. There is a stage in the center. Several singing and dancing contestants take turns to perform and interact with the audience in real time. The scene is very lively.

It is completely different from those dim bars that are just for drinking, and it is indeed a good place to relax.

Also present were Duan Shuangyue, Chu Yuxuan, Jiang Tan and others.

"Oh, Mr. Tian, ​​nice to meet you." Duan Shuangyue was a pure e-person, and he was completely relaxed even when facing a bunch of strangers. "I've only seen him online before, but I didn't expect him to be even more handsome in person."

Tian Xingyu smiled ashamedly and said, "No, no, it's a compliment."

"Honestly, don't be so modest." Duan Shuangyue: "By the way, I watched the show you two filmed together before. It was amazing."

When talking about this, Tian Xingyu could hardly suppress the smile on his face. This program brought him a lot of fans and also earned him a lot of popularity among passers-by.

He gave Wen Nian a thumbs up and said, "This is all thanks to my sister Nian. She worked so hard to get me so many shots." Then he raised his glass and said, "Come on, let's celebrate Nian Nian's birthday together!"

Everyone clinked their glasses and said, "Happy birthday!"

Shen Wan was abroad and couldn't come back, which was a pity. He sent a gift to Wen Nian in advance and sang a birthday song online for a long time.

This was probably the most lively birthday she had ever had since she was a child, and also the most relaxing one. She didn't have to face the pressure that was being put on her, worry about an unknown future, or be sad about not being able to wait for someone.

Wen Nian was very happy.

At this moment, it seemed that everything had been settled. There would be no more hardships for her to overcome in the future, and the road ahead would be smooth and bright.

At ten o'clock in the evening, the bar was still bustling and the music never stopped.

A large group of people were already drunk at the table. Since it was the holiday, everyone took the opportunity to indulge themselves.

Except for Duan Shuangyue, who never drinks, everyone else is already a little unconscious, even Wen Nian.

Seeing her lying on the table playing with the wine bottle for her own amusement, Duan Shuangyue flicked her nose and said with a smile: "I'm going to the bathroom. You stay here honestly and don't move. Wait for me to come back and take you home."

Wen Nian was just a little dizzy, but still retained some consciousness. He nodded: "You go."

"Then I'm leaving."

Wen Nian picked up the phone, checked the time, thought of something, his eyes dulled for a moment, and finally put it down.

Chu Yuxuan couldn't hold his alcohol well and fell down after drinking just a little. However, because he drank so little, he fell down quickly and got up quickly. When the customer opened the door, a gust of cool wind blew in, completely waking up his brain, which was already beginning to sober up.

This also reminds me of the purpose of today.

Since the last time, Wen Nian has been deliberately avoiding him, declining several invitations with excuses, and even asking a friend to send the dog back.

If it weren't for her birthday, he probably wouldn't have seen her for a long time.

But once he has taken the first step, how can he be willing to stand still? No matter what the result is, he has to give it a try.

"Wen Nian." He lowered his head and called her.

She hummed weakly, but it sounded delicate and charming to him.

Chu Yuxuan lowered his voice, almost coaxing her: "Can I invite you to dance over there?"

Wen Nian looked up and saw that there were many people, so he refused: "No, I'm a little dizzy."

"Then I'll take you outside to get some fresh air. There are some things I want to talk to you alone."

Hearing this, Wen Nian was silent for a long time, and finally agreed for some unknown reason.

After going out, Wen Nian closed his eyes and felt the cool breeze on his face. The pain in his solar plexus was indeed relieved a lot.

Chu Yuxuan prepared himself mentally and got straight to the point: "Have you seen the photos in my room?"

Wen Nian: "Yeah."

Knowing that she was probably awake, he took a breath and continued, "I'm actually the same as you, Wen Nian. I also grew up under the control of my parents. I had no freedom and no choice."

Wen Nian was stunned.

In her memory, Chu Yuxuan has always been a favored child of heaven, the center of everyone's attention, and no one would not love him. No matter where his mother goes, she regards him as a source of pride and can confidently show off to others.

Her mother would only blame her for not being as good as others. At that time, she even envied him, so when she heard him say that he was the same as herself, her first reaction was disbelief.

But then I thought, he wouldn't lie.

Wen Nian wanted to talk to him directly and not discuss anything else, but she finally asked: "Why do you say that?"

A bitter smile blew up in the cool breeze, and he said, "I don't really like studying, and I especially don't like studying medicine, but they do, so I have no choice but to obey. Because everything I have is given by them, I should obey them in everything. This is what they say to me the most."

"You know what? I'm like a machine. Every day, I don't have the right to do anything else except study, eat, and sleep. Have you ever seen the moon at three in the morning? That's my bedtime since elementary school. I have to get up at six thirty in the morning to memorize my lessons and go to school at seven."

"I've never felt the slightest bit of pleasure from those people's praise. They're the only ones who care. To make others think they've given birth to a genius, they even conceal my sleep and daily routine."

Wen Nian sighed.

She had heard before that whenever someone asked about his education method, his mother would always say that he just rested and played normally every day, just like other children, and she didn't know why this child was so smart.

No wonder their parents could talk to each other. It turned out that they used the same parenting method. However, compared to her parents, his parents were obviously much harsher.

Wen Nian looked at him and realized for the first time that this person might not be born with a cold personality, but was simply shaped into the kind of person he is because of the environment he was in.

It would be more accurate to say that he is depressed rather than aloof.

She felt a little sorry for him, but she knew very well that she was not the one who should pity him.

"So, you like me because we appreciate each other?"
