Chapter 86: So what if I’m a little selfish?
Meng Shulan just jumped out and started to persuade others.
Jiang Xiuzhen was startled. She turned around and looked at Meng Shulan carefully, then asked, "Who are you?"
Meng Shulan: "I am from the same hometown as Gu Hansong."
Jiang Xiuzhen pursed her lips, glanced at Meng Shulan and said, "Why, you like him too?"
This girl is quite generous. She doesn't hide her admiration at all and doesn't show any shyness at all.
What do you like?
Meng Shulan denied it immediately, "What nonsense are you talking about? We are just friends."
Jiang Xiuzhen continued to pout, "You denied it so quickly, maybe you like him but don't know it."
Meng Shulan: “…”
Why do I suddenly feel guilty?
But she soon calmed down.
Why do you feel guilty? It's normal to like someone like Gu Hansong. It would be blind to look down on him.
But liking someone is one thing, but whether or not to develop the relationship or to obtain it is another matter.
Meng Shulan: "Stop talking about me, talk about you."
She stood up to persuade this person, not to discuss whether he liked it or not.
Jiang Xiuzhen said unkindly, "What can I say? What do you want to meddle in?"
The tone of his voice shows that he is a bold and unyielding person.
No wonder, as a girl, she has such courage to actively pursue the person she likes. Her personality is indeed different from that of ordinary people.
But Gu Hansong is not ordinary either.
Meng Shulan: "You are from Shuangxi Village, right? You have good taste to like him."
Jiang Xiuzhen snorted, "That's for sure."
How could the man she likes be bad?
Meng Shulan smiled and said, "But I still advise you to give up as soon as possible. Gu Hansong is really not interested in these things. He has no plans to date or get married in the short term. If you continue to pester him like this, it will only cause him trouble."
In her previous life, Meng Shulan devoted herself to books, so she still heard the gossip about Gu Hansong and this girl. It is conceivable that the actual incident was not a small matter.
Although it is not clear what they were specifically, it definitely caused a sensation.
Jiang Xiuzhen looked at Meng Shulan with some amusement, "You seem to know him very well?"
Meng Shulan: "I guess so. We are neighbors, separated by a wall."
Neighbor?
Jiang Xiuzhen looked at Meng Shulan warily. "Hearing you say that, it seems like you've expressed your feelings to him like I did, but got rejected."
Show your feelings?
Meng Shulan thought about what happened in the morning and was speechless for a moment.
But what was there to reject? To be honest, I was the one who rejected him.
It’s not a harm, it’s just that neither side had this intention and it led to a misunderstanding for a while.
Meng Shulan: "What are you thinking? It's not what you said."
Jiang Xiuzhen sneered, "Since there is nothing, you can just read the gossip. Why are you coming here to advise me?"
Meng Shulan: “…”
This person has such a strong sense of self-awareness that he simply cannot listen to what others say.
Meng Shulan felt a little regretful. Perhaps she shouldn't have stood up like this. Instead of persuading the person, she caused misunderstanding and made it difficult to explain.
But when she thought about the troubles that her successor would bring to Gu Hansong, she didn't want to be an outsider and watch the fun from the sidelines.
Meng Shulan: "In short, he won't be dating or getting married in the short term. It's fine if you like him, it's your freedom, but I hope you won't be extreme. Relationships are two-way, if he really doesn't need it, don't get entangled, otherwise he will find it troublesome, feel bothered, or be attacked by rumors, which will be bad.
If you really like him, you should want him to live a good life, right? If your love can't produce such an effect, isn't it a burden?"
Meng Shulan said something philosophical.
Jiang Xiuzhen looked at her steadily, then nodded and said, "You have a point. He also told me before that love is a two-way thing and cannot be started unilaterally. That would not be love, but selfishness.
But……"
Jiang Xiuzhen looked at Meng Shulan and changed the subject, "It's not easy for a person to meet someone he likes in his life. So what if he is a little selfish? If you follow so many rules, it will be in vain if the man you like marries another woman. You might as well try your best to win him over. Maybe he will marry you.
After all, we only live for a few decades, which is neither long nor short. Youth is only a few years long. If you miss it, it will be gone for a lifetime. There is no turning back. Why should you wrong yourself so much? Don’t you agree? "
Jiang Xiuzhen's big eyes are as clear as a lake.
Meng Shulan was shocked and unable to refute for a moment.
She really meant what she said.
Although this person is very strong, her love for Gu Hansong is unquestionable.
Meng Shulan didn't know what to say. She felt that this was a dead knot, with each of them at the top of the scale and there was no way to untie it.
Seeing her stunned, Jiang Xiuzhen laughed and said, "Of course, in order to have fewer opponents, I hope you can stick to the rules in your heart. This is also your freedom. But don't try to persuade me. Everyone has their own creed. I have mine and you have yours. Don't impose it on each other."
Jiang Xiuzhen looked at Meng Shulan again and left.
Meng Shulan opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything.
I have to say that this girl is quite thoughtful and speaks very well.
I originally wanted to persuade her, but in the end I was stumped by the question.
Yes, life is short, only a few decades long, and disposable time is limited. Sometimes being too obedient can be a bit frustrating.
Meng Shulan sighed.
I don’t know if it’s because I took Jiang Xiuzhen’s words to heart, but I always feel a little blocked in my heart.
But she didn't think too much about it. What was more important was to get her business done. She turned around and went to the Women's Federation office, but there was no one inside and the door was locked.
This is, are you out doing some work?
Meng Shulan had no choice but to turn around and go back to school.
Her figure had just disappeared on the street when Ye Pingshun slowly came out driving a donkey cart at the corner outside the grain station.
Ye Pingshun was not alone. Ye Ran was sitting in the back of the car with a schoolbag on her back and a bag of grain in her hand.
The father and daughter were obviously not passing by, and it was unknown how long they had been squatting here, or what they saw or heard.
On the other side, Meng Shulan met Gu Hansong again on the way back to school.
He was standing outside the state-owned hotel, apparently waiting for someone.
Meng Shulan walked over when she saw him.
"You haven't gone home yet?" she asked.
Gu Hansong: "Ready."
Meng Shulan: "Did you see my dad and sister this morning? I don't know if things went smoothly."
Gu Hansong looked at her, "Want to know?"
Meng Shulan: “That’s for sure!” This person can be really frustrating sometimes, as he always looks unfathomable.
Gu Hansong: "Let's go in and eat something."
"Ah? Oh."
