Chapter 55: Stop Arguing [Author's Inner Thoughts]
At lunch time, the school cafeteria was bustling with people.
Li Zexi and Chen Mengru were eating the food on their respective plates.
We chatted casually while eating.
Li Zexi asked: "The final exam is just a few days away, how are you reviewing?"
Chen Mengru looked relaxed: "Hey, it's a small scene, it's a sure win."
Li Zexi tapped the corner of the plate with his chopsticks: "Tsk, don't be so proud."
Chen Mengru chuckled and said, "Don't worry, brother. You whip me like a donkey every day. How can I have any problems with the exam?"
Li Zexi nodded and said, "Don't fall behind in your study of the Internet. Winter vacation is coming soon. I'll give you some new materials. Go back and read them carefully. If you don't understand something, take notes or call me directly."
Chen Mengru curled her lips unhappily and muttered quietly: "You can't even let me have a peaceful holiday. You have such a cruel heart."
Li Zexi glared: "What did you say?"
Chen Mengru quickly forced a smile: "Nothing, nothing."
Li Zexi changed the subject: "Oh, by the way, Chu Fei is from the computer department. You can ask him if you have any questions in the future. He is more professional."
Chen Mengru: "How can that work? He doesn't even pay attention to me now. He doesn't have any feelings for me. I don't even have his contact information. I can't even say a word to him. How can I ask?"
Li Zexi rolled his eyes and said, "Don't worry, I'll go find him this afternoon and I'll give you his contact information..."
As he was speaking, Li Zexi's phone suddenly rang.
He took out his cell phone and froze.
It’s Guo Kai calling.
Since New Year's Day, the two of them have had very little communication, and later on they stopped communicating at all, let alone calling or texting.
The sudden call at this moment made Li Zexi feel a little dazed.
The phone rang several times, but Li Zexi didn't answer it, so it kept ringing.
Chen Mengru on the other side asked in confusion: "Brother, why don't you answer the phone? Who is it?"
Li Zexi looked at her with complicated eyes, and finally pressed the answer button and said in a low voice: "Hello."
Guo Kai on the other end didn't know whether he didn't expect Li Zexi to answer or he didn't know what to say for a moment, so he didn't say anything.
The two were silent for several seconds.
Li Zexi called again.
Guo Kai replied with a "hmm". This "hmm" sounded very strange, as if there was a ball of cotton stuck in his throat, chaotic and unclear.
Li Zexi asked: "What do you want to talk to me about?"
Guo Kai paused: "Where are you?"
His voice was a little hoarse and trembling, as if he was suppressing something. If Li didn't know Guo Kai's character, Li Zexi would have suspected that Guo was crying with excitement because he hadn't heard his voice for a long time.
Li Zexi: "In the cafeteria, eating."
Guo Kai: "When will you return to the dormitory?"
Li Zexi: "I'll be back after eating. What do you want?"
Guo Kai paused for a few seconds and finally said, "Let's talk about it when you come back. I'll wait for you in the dormitory."
After saying that, he hung up the phone in a hurry.
Li Zexi looked at the phone that was hung up unilaterally in confusion. Guo Kai's last sentence gave him a feeling that if he said one more word to him, tears would leak out of the microphone.
Li Zexi was stunned for a few seconds, then shook his head to get rid of this ridiculous idea.
Pick up your chopsticks and continue eating.
…
After dinner, Li Zexi and Chen Mengru went back to their dormitories.
As soon as he entered the dormitory, Li Zexi saw that only Guo Kai was sitting by the bed as if waiting for him, but Lin Haoxiang was not there.
Li Zexi closed the door, walked in, put down his schoolbag, leaned against the table, looked at Guo Kai and asked: "What do you want to talk to me about?"
Guo Kai looked at Li Zexi silently, thinking: It turns out that he is falling in love with someone else. The way he looks at me is so cold, without a trace of warmth.
Li Zexi was also thinking: Why does this kid have such a ferocious expression and a face full of hatred and resentment? Is he looking for trouble again?
Li Zexi asked again: "Tell me, what do you want from me?"
Guo Kai: "Why are you yelling? Why are you so impatient? Is it that even talking to me is unbearable for you now?"
Li Zexi was confused: "What?"
Guo Kai suddenly lost his temper. He angrily took out the piece of paper with the one-two-three-four-five-six-seven guide to chasing a man, slammed it on the computer desk, and shouted: "What is this? Li Zexi, we haven't even broken up yet, and you're already planning to chase other men? Why can't you stand loneliness?"
Li Zexi was even more confused: "Huh?"
Guo Kai said sternly: "What are you still pretending? I saw it all. Didn't you write what's on the paper?"
Li Zexi: "No, what am I pretending to be?"
He walked over puzzled and looked down at the paper in Guo Kai's hand. The title was: Capturing Chu Fei is just around the corner!
Li Zexi: "...Why are my things here with you?"
Guo Kai gritted his teeth and said, "You admitted it, Li Zexi, great, you actually admitted that you wrote it."
Li Zexi nodded: "Yes, I wrote this, is there any problem? But this is not what I want..."
The rest of the words have not been finished yet.
Guo Kai stood up suddenly, walked to Li Zexi, stared at him fiercely and said: "You are too lazy to lie to me now, and you just admit it so readily.
Li Zexi, I didn't expect you to be such a person.
While eating what’s in the bowl, you’re still thinking about what’s in the pot. You say you'll wait for me, but the next moment you chase after another man behind my back. How can you be so fickle, so inconsistent?
How could you lie to me like this? You've tricked me around, and you think it's fun, and you're very proud and awesome, right? ”
Li Zexi was so angry that he almost laughed. He couldn't say a word and just looked at him in silence.
When Guo Kai saw that Li Zexi didn't even explain or refute, he became even angrier. He felt like a huge stone was stuck in his chest, and he couldn't breathe or spit out.
He held Li Zexi's shoulders tightly with both hands, his eyes were red, and his voice was fierce: "Speak, why don't you answer? Are you going to break up with me, don't like me anymore, and want to like someone else? Are you tired of me, tell me, answer me..."
Li Zexi was in pain from being caught, and frowned: "Let me go first."
Guo Kai stubbornly replied: "No... Li Zexi, you bastard, you said you would wait for me, you said you would give me time to figure things out, how could you go back on your word and find another man in the blink of an eye, are you so impatient? Can't you live without a man for a day?"
That's really harsh.
Li Zexi's brows were locked tighter, his face darkened, and he said coldly: "Let me go."
Guo Kai glared at Li Zexi with rage, like a lion on the verge of losing control.
Li Zexi repeated: "I'll say it again, let me go. Since I am such a person in your heart, there is nothing to say. Our affairs have been dragged on like this, and it is really boring.
Let's make things clear today and resolve the issue. Since we don't trust each other, it's too awkward to force ourselves to stay together. It's better for us to just go our separate ways. You won't have to suffer anymore and I'll have peace. ”
Guo Kai froze for a moment, looking at Li Zexi in disbelief, his lips trembling a little, his face turning pale: "You, you finally said it. You have been holding these words in your heart for a long time, right? You have been annoyed with me for a long time, want to draw a line with me, want to leave me, want to break up with me completely, right?"
Li Zexi had no expression on his face: "Guo Kai, we are all adults. If adults can't make decisions for their own feelings, then what's the difference between us and children? I..."
He lowered his head, as if he didn't dare to look at Guo Kai's increasingly ugly expression, and continued: "I think we should break up. I can't waste my time endlessly for a child who hasn't grown up."
It was also very difficult for Li Zexi to say this. He was not in pain, but he did not want to hurt Guo Kai.
Since Guo Kai doesn't trust him and is in a dilemma, he should just let go. This will be good for both of them.
Guo Kai was completely stunned. He stared at Li Zexi like a petrified man, not moving an inch. His grip on Li Zexi's shoulders slowly loosened.
Li Zexi couldn't bear to look at him, so he just sighed and gently pulled Guo Kai's hands apart.
Pick up the misleading culprit on the table.
He walked to his desk, picked up his schoolbag, and turned around to leave the dormitory.
The moment he opened the door, a gust of wind accompanied by hurried footsteps rushed towards him.
He was knocked against the wall in an instant.
Guo Kai had a murderous look on his face and stretched out his arm to press his shoulder tightly.
Li Zexi's back was hit hard, he groaned and bent down slightly.
Guo Kai stared at Li Zexi with a pair of bloodshot eyes, his face almost distorted, as if he was going to cut him off on the spot: "Li Zexi, don't mess with me, have you forgotten what I was like before? You dare to treat me like this, aren't you afraid that I will do the same to you as before?"
