Chapter 974 My Brother is a Spare Tire (14)

Bai Lishuang looked at the phone number in the phone list with a complicated expression, feeling mixed emotions. Yesterday, she had a big fight with Meng Yuanye again because Meng Yuanye went on a blind date with another woman without telling her.

Over the past few years, her relationship with Meng Yuanye had gradually faded away in doubt, suspicion and quarrels. She felt that this shouldn't have happened. She and Meng Yuanye had such a good relationship at the beginning. Why did it end up like this?

When life is not going well, one will miss the happiest time. When was her happiest time? Bai Lishuang thought back to when she was in college. She had just fallen in love with Meng Yuanye, and Song Shilu, who was always obedient to her, was still by her side. She only needed to enjoy the sweetness of love, and Song Shilu would naturally solve the difficulties in life and studies for her.

Ever since Bai's father and mother complained to her about the Song family looking down on their family and not wanting Song Shilu to be with her, Bai Lishuang's ambitions began to take root. She heard that Song Shilu was concentrating on his research and work and still had no girlfriend, so could she guess that he still couldn't forget her?

When she thought of this possibility, Bai Lishuang's heart started beating fast. She used to look down on Song Shilu because he only had good looks and talent but his family was poor and she could not be of any help to him. She only regarded him as a helper who could be used.

But now, the Song family has risen a long time ago. Song Shichu has long been a senior executive of a large Internet company. His annual salary plus bonus is a huge figure, otherwise the Song family would not have been able to buy a big house in just a few years; and Song Shilu has also become a valuable scientific research talent who has returned from studying abroad. Such a Song family is now incomparable to their Bai family. Bai Lishuang's mentality has naturally changed. She feels that it is not impossible to be with Song Shilu...

She thought for a while with a blushing face, took a deep breath with some trepidation and joy, and then dialed Song Shilu's cell phone number without hesitation.

However, after calling for a long time, no one answered the call. Bai Lishuang's joy and anticipation suddenly cooled down and disappeared as if a bucket of cold water was poured on her.

She didn't give up and called several more times, but still no one answered. Bai Lishuang thought again, could it be that she remembered the phone number wrong? But this was from Song Shilu's best friend in high school, so it shouldn't be wrong, right?

Bai Lishuang just thought that Song Shilu didn't want to answer her call. She was shocked and bitter. She couldn't help but resent Song Shilu for being so heartless. Did he have to be so cold to her? Didn't she choose someone else instead of being with him? But she obviously treated him as a brother. Could it be that if they couldn't be boyfriend and girlfriend, she would give up the relationship that they had grown up together for more than 20 years?

However, she did not think about it. It was daytime, neither a holiday nor the time to get off work. Song Shilu was the kind of workaholic who would forget to eat and sleep when working and often turned a deaf ear to what was happening outside. In addition, the content of his work required him to be extremely rigorous and serious, so he would not carry his mobile phone with him until the end of the get off work day. Therefore, Song Shilu, who was immersed in his research, had no idea that someone had called him.

Bai Lishuang thought so much, purely judging others by her own standards.

Bai Lishuang's full of expectations and hidden joy vanished because of this unanswered call. She was ashamed and sad. Thinking of her boyfriend's relationship with her and his backup boyfriend's abandonment of her, she suddenly felt sad. The more she thought about it, the sadder she became. She lay on the bed and cried bitterly. Why did she fall to this point?

In fact, she had a good backup student named Chu who replaced Song Shilu for a period of time. Chu wanted to serve Bai Lishuang wholeheartedly and work hard, but his mother was very strong. When she learned that her son actually liked a woman who had a boyfriend and was willing to be someone else's backup and refused to find a girlfriend, she became furious and ran to scold Bai Lishuang, saying that she had bad intentions, that she had a boyfriend but was still hanging around with other men, and that she was a vixen.

She took Senior Chu away from the city without any explanation and forced him to go back to his hometown to work. Then she forced him to go on a blind date with lightning speed. Senior Chu couldn't persuade his mother and had to go on the blind date. He soon got married and had children and no longer cared about his white moonlight.

Because she no longer had the backup man who was willing to do anything for her, Bai Lishuang suffered all kinds of grievances from Meng Yuanye and had no one to talk to. There was also no one who could help her deal with and resolve her love rivals and work issues. The frustrations in love and work often made her emotions out of control, which resulted in her and Meng Yuanye quarreling frequently. The more they quarreled, the weaker their feelings became. The fact that they managed to stick together for several years without completely breaking up was because their feelings were deep enough in the beginning.

When Song Shilu finally came out of the laboratory, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening. He was very tired. When he returned to the accommodation arranged for him by the institute, he found that his mobile phone had several unfamiliar missed calls. He did not recognize the phone number, so he simply treated it as a wrong number or a scam number and ignored it.

At this time, his high school friend Huang Xu suddenly contacted him on WeChat: [Shi Lu, guess who I met today? Bai Lishuang! She asked me for your phone number and was very persistent. I had to give it to her. Did she call you? ]

Song Shilu understood in his mind and realized that the missed calls just now must have been from Bai Lishuang, but he was calm. If it were a few years ago, he would still be uneasy about Bai Lishuang, but now, his emotions would not be affected by this name at all.

Today, he is engaged in a job he likes, has an unswerving goal, and pursues great ideals. He divides the work and cooperates with a group of like-minded colleagues. This makes him feel that his life is more fulfilled than ever before. He likes the feeling of striving for his ideals, so the love he once had for Bai Lishuang has long disappeared without a trace left in his heart.

[I did, but I was in the lab all day and didn’t bring my phone with me. I didn’t realize someone called me until I got home in the evening.] Song Shilu replied.

Huang Xu: [I didn’t expect that you two wouldn’t be together. You followed her around all day, and I thought you would become the legendary couple that went from school uniforms to wedding dresses. Who knew that a few years later, you didn’t even have each other’s contact information…]

Song Shilu smiled and said, "Things in the world are unpredictable. We are just a couple who are not destined to be together. Now we both have the happiness we want, which can be considered a happy ending."

Huang Xu: [You have a successful career, which is a happy ending, but Bai Lishuang doesn’t. She has been on and off with that rich second-generation guy for several years and they haven’t married. Everyone says they can’t hold on and might break up one day.]
