Chapter 67 What kind of person am I?

"Where do you live? I'll take you home," the man with glasses followed Lin Yao. He was the leader of another group and said he worked at a large factory. He looked to be in his thirties. When the show was over, he asked Lin Yao to take her home. She declined and went to the bathroom to change. When she came out around eleven, when most people had left, he was waiting in the elevator lobby. He suddenly hugged her waist, giving her goosebumps. He had clearly been wearing a wedding ring then, but now, standing in the elevator lobby, Lin Yao took another look and saw that his finger was bare. "My boyfriend is here to pick me up. You don't have to take me home." Lin Yao stepped into the elevator, cold and not bothering to look at him. He entered as well, smiling and flirting. "Right? I'm curious what a beautiful woman like you has a boyfriend like that." She felt sick. The elevator doors opened, and she hurried out. She caught a glimpse of the "sinner" sitting on a sofa in the lobby lounge on the first floor. He had also seen her. Lin Yuxun had been sitting in the lobby since leaving the banquet hall, waiting for her to finish. He stood up and came over. The man with glasses, naturally mistaking him for the boyfriend she'd just mentioned, felt timid at his sullen face and finally dispersed. "See you at the start of school, beautiful. Bye!" After waiting for almost two hours, he finally stood in front of her. "Did you have fun?" "I can't have fun?" "As long as you have fun." He glanced at the man with glasses, who had already exited the revolving door and was still glancing back. "If you're hanging out with vulgar people, I suggest you keep your distance." His mind was filled with the image of the man with glasses hugging her on stage. "What vulgarity? What do you mean by hanging out with vulgar people? What did I do?" "That guy just now was quite vulgar." She laughed. "Lin Yuxun, you're so noble, so special. I've tolerated you for a long time. Other people's vulgarity is their business, and whether I keep my distance is my business. Who are you to give me advice? Classmate, you've crossed the line! People like you should go out and have fun, not interfere in places like school." There was alcohol tonight, too. She didn't drink much, but it was enough to fuel her emotions, letting her vent her frustrations without restraint. She kept meeting all sorts of people. Not only did the guy with glasses disgust her, but there was this guy waiting to disgust her again. "Who wants to play around? You keep saying I'm this kind of person. What kind of person am I? Why should you be so repulsed?" He said seriously. "People should know themselves. I'm not interested in analyzing you." "Self-knowledge," he laughed. "I really can't figure it out. What kind of person am I? Let's talk. Explain yourself clearly. Get in the car." "I'm tired. I don't want to talk." She handed him the clothes. "Throw them in the trash." He turned away. After two days of activities, her legs were broken from running. She was always nervous...

"Where do you live? I'll take you there." The man with glasses followed Lin Yao.

He was the leader of another group. He said he worked in a large factory and looked to be in his thirties. When the show was over, he approached Lin Yao and asked to take her home.

After she refused, she went to the bathroom to change clothes. When she came out it was nearly eleven o'clock and most people had left, but he was actually waiting in the elevator lobby.

When they were walking on the runway, he suddenly hugged her waist and she got goose bumps all over. At that time, he was clearly wearing a wedding ring on his finger. Now Lin Yao stood in the elevator hall and took another look, and saw that his finger was bare.

"My boyfriend is here to pick me up, you don't have to send me off." Lin Yao stepped into the elevator with a cold look, not bothering to look at him.

He also came in, actually smiling and flirting, "Yeah, I'm curious about what a boyfriend like a beautiful woman like you is like."

She felt nauseous.

As the elevator door opened, she walked out quickly and caught a glimpse of the "sinner" sitting on the sofa in the lobby lounge on the first floor. He also saw her.

After Lin Yuxun left the banquet hall, he sat in the lobby, waiting for her to finish. He stood up and came over. The man with glasses naturally mistook him for her boyfriend. Seeing his sullen face, he got scared and finally dispersed. "See you at the beginning of the school, beautiful girl, bye!"

After waiting for almost two hours, someone came up to her and asked, "Did you have fun?"

"I can't be happy?"

"As long as you're happy." He glanced at the man with glasses who had already left the revolving door and was still looking over his shoulder. "If you're hanging out with vulgar people, I suggest you keep your distance."

What he could think of was the lewd look of the man with glasses hugging her on the stage.

"What's vulgar? What do you mean by playing with vulgar people? What did I do?"

"That guy just now was quite vulgar."

She laughed, "Lin Yuxun, you are so noble and special. I have tolerated you for a long time. Other people's vulgarity is their business, and whether I keep my distance is my business. What right do you have to give me advice? Classmate, you have crossed the line! People like you should go out to play, don't come to a place like school to interfere with others."

There was alcohol tonight, too. She didn't drink much, but it was enough to fuel her emotions and let out her frustrations without restraint. It was all about the people she met. The man with glasses disgusted her, and there was this person waiting to disgust her again.

"Who wants to play? You keep saying I'm this kind of person, but what kind of person am I? Why should I repel you so much?" He was serious.

"People should know themselves. I have no interest in analyzing you."

"Self-awareness," he laughed. "I really can't figure out what kind of person I am. Let's talk. Explain yourself clearly. Get in the car."

"I'm tired and don't want to talk." She handed him the clothes.

"Throw it in the trash can." He turned his face away.

After two days of activities, her legs were broken from running. She was in a constant state of tension and was really tired. She didn't have the energy to play ambiguously with this fickle young man. His words were sarcastic and she was angry. She pushed the clothes in her hand into his hand and left.

There was a line of empty taxis waiting outside the hotel. Seeing her hurriedly get into one, he gathered the clothes into a black ball with one hand and threw it into the lobby trash can.

He thought celebrating the start of school together was the beginning of their time together, but he didn't expect it to end like this.

Even after showering, her heels ached and blistered from the rubbing of her new shoes. She asked Long Weihe if he'd slept yet. He said no. She said she was feeling down and wanted to come over and chat. Long Weihe agreed, but told her not to ring the doorbell.

She put on a pair of slippers and ran out again.

"It just so happens that I need an explanation from you." Long Weihe opened the door after hearing the noise and spoke in a low voice.

She walked in and slumped over on the sofa, "What do you want to explain?"

"I came back and asked Qian Duoduo about the boy named Lin. He went to kindergarten with you. You were drunk that day, and he hugged you very tightly. I saw it with my own eyes, but I didn't describe it to you. Tell me what other interactions you had." She sat next to her and started to expose him directly.

"He is the son of Tongya Lin Guanghui, a playboy." She covered her eyes with her hands and closed them in annoyance.

Long Weihe was surprised. "He's pursuing you?"

She looked at the ceiling. "Okay, let me tell you why he approached me. He wanted to use me to tear someone down and then put them back together. He's been flirting with me for a long time. He might have even investigated my private information. He even had someone at the company investigate. His only goal was to find someone he could control to do his bidding. He's been trying to get me for months, even drunk... drunk and losing control. He's been flirting with me from time to time after he's had lustful thoughts. Only then did he talk me into a cooperation agreement where you're allowed to join in. Do you think that's pursuit? What kind of pursuit is that?"

"It's so complicated." Long Weihe frowned after hearing this.

"Besides, if we accept the cooperation he wants, we will most likely be buried with the deposed crown prince. You know Lin Guanghui's situation. Even if we make money from him, I'm afraid he will ask you to pay an unconventional price. I didn't discuss it with you because I haven't thought it through yet. If you sign it, you will be subject to his control. He will become the first party, and he has ulterior motives. How can I, the second party, serve him in the future? If he has no ulterior motives, I will accept it for the sake of money."

"How do you know he's being lustful and not sincere?"

"How can you take this kind of playboy seriously? He flirts with you now, but once the hormones wear off, you'll just be playing a game with him. He wants to flirt with girls but doesn't want to take responsibility, using his social status to tease ordinary people."

"Do you know about his private life?"

"I heard from Li Xuan that he has a rich romantic history. Do you think he's sincere towards me? Any advances that aren't based on understanding are just lust, not love. He doesn't understand me. Right now, he's just teasing me. If he teases you, you should get close to him. If you don't, he'll be sarcastic. Am I that cheap and needy?"

Long Wei sighed, "Reality isn't something one person can conceive of; it's something you experience subjectively. Someone like you, with no experience in love, relies solely on your own imagination and speculation, and what others say. You won't have any real feelings."

"I want to experience it too. There's a good man out there, but why can't I meet a good man I like... He's married. There are no good men left. I can't meet anyone..."

Long Weihe's phone rang, she turned it off and sent a message.

"Go back and have a good rest. You must be tired after working for two days."

"Okay, send me away. You make your phone call and experience it well. Feel your love well. I don't even have anyone to talk to." She got up from the sofa.

It was indeed rare for her to open up and talk about men and feelings. She and Long Weihe hardly ever talked about this aspect of themselves, and there was nothing much to talk about.

As the man walked to the center of the living room, he heard a child crying from the room.

Long Weihe's face tensed instantly and she jumped up from the sofa.

"Who is it?" Lin Yao didn't think it was Qian Duoduo's voice.

"Don't worry about it, go back and rest." Long Weihe ignored her and hurried to the room.

After Shi Shi came back from the hotel, she wanted to come to her house to play. After playing for a while, she asked if she could not go home and wanted to sleep here.

Long Weihe didn't want to go back, not because she was afraid of trouble, but because she didn't want to interfere too much in Shi Zhenglin's life. This situation depends on Aunt Xu's attitude. Aunt Xu tried to persuade her to go back, but she cried and called Shi Zhenglin.

Shi Zhenglin also disagreed, fearing that it would cause pressure and trouble for Long Weihe. As a result, Qian Duoduo saw Shi Shi crying and said, "Shi Shi, I agree that you can stay at my house overnight," and even helped her plead with the adults.

Perhaps the child was a little sleepy after the day's activities and the night's running around, so the adults decided to let her go after some discussion to save her the trouble. Shi Zhenglin explained to Shi Shi on the phone that he could only trouble her this once.

Shi Shi slept soundly before Lin Yao came.

Now he woke up from the dream, saw the unfamiliar environment, and cried to go home again. Long Weihe tried to comfort him.

Lin Yao leaned over the door and peeked in. She was afraid of scaring the child, so she walked away on her own. She was terribly shocked, muttering to herself as she walked, "This is really over. She's so heartless that she lets someone else take care of the child. This is crazy, this is crazy. Long Weihe is crazy."

She closed her door, got into the elevator, and watched it plummet downwards, feeling both physically and mentally devastated. She thought Long Weihe was rapidly sinking into unconsciousness.

People who are said to be crazy actually think they are very sober. They do whatever they want without considering the gains and losses or the consequences, even if they have been hurt.

She turned on the sleep light, and Shi Shi, who had just woken up crying, turned to sobbing softly. After calming down, she lay down and was very well behaved. She also said, "Auntie, I miss my daddy," and asked when he would be home. She chatted with her for a while, and she soon fell asleep again.

She'd already experienced the worst. She believed that, aside from childbirth, which was irreversible, marriage and relationships were reversible. Since these were reversible, there was no need to dwell on them too much, because love itself was a low probability. She didn't engage in any cerebral or irrational talk; there was only love and not love. Perhaps because she'd experienced marriage before, her understanding of love now was that of two lonely people protecting each other, a different understanding from her previous understanding of love.

After dealing with Shi Shi, she sent a message to Lin Yao, saying that if she had any feelings, she should get to know the young master better.
