Chapter 63 Do You Regret It?
Zhao Huaian searched for a long time but couldn't find Zhong Xuexi. It was not until the performance was about to start that he saw her and Ruan Qing appear arm in arm.
He raised his hand to greet her. Zhong Xuexi saw him from a distance, but just glanced at him.
Ruan Qing nudged Zhong Xuexi with her elbow and said, "Zhao Huaian is waving at you over there, why don't you go over?"
"Why would I go over there? I don't know him well."
Zhong Xuexi pulled her to sit down, obviously not intending to sit with Zhao Huaian.
Clearly their tickets were side by side, but in order to avoid him, Zhong Xuexi exchanged tickets with someone else.
After all, she was in her godsister's art troupe, and many people knew her, so it was very easy for her to change a ticket.
Ruan Qing tilted his head to look at her, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Did you two have a fight?"
They all grew up in the same compound. Zhong Xuexi and Zhao Huaian have been bickering lovers since childhood. Neither of them would give in to the other and they would fight when they couldn't win an argument. However, Zhao Huaian was always defeated by Zhong Xuexi.
It's also far from the mark.
Zhong Xuexi lowered her eyes and said in a muffled voice, "He is busy dating a girl now, so he has no time to quarrel with me."
"Ouch~" Ruan Qing looked like he had discovered a new world, his eyes full of gossip, "Why do I smell vinegar?"
Zhong Xuexi quickly covered her mouth and whispered, "Don't joke around! You obviously know who I like... How could I be jealous of Zhao Huaian! Whoever he wants to date is his business, and it has nothing to do with me."
Ruan Qing was a little bit unconvinced and kept staring at Zhong Xuexi.
It's true that Zhong Xuexi likes Wei Zhihe, but why does she feel that Zhong Xuexi's words are full of jealousy?
The two leaned against each other and whispered, "Why haven't I heard that Zhao Huaian has a favorite girl? Whose family is she from?"
It would have been fine if she hadn't asked this question. As soon as she asked it, Zhong Xuexi felt aggrieved. She had clearly decided to keep her distance from Zhao Huaian in the past two days at home. What he did had nothing to do with her.
But when I think about this, I still feel sad.
Anyone would feel uncomfortable if their childhood friend was with someone who bullied them, right?
“It’s from our school.”
"What's your name?"
"Xu Li, the one you've seen."
Ruan Qing thought about it for a while and had some impression. "How could it be her! I think she looks average, and isn't she having a hot relationship with the male teachers in your school? Last time I went to your school to look for you, I saw her talking and laughing with a male teacher."
"I really don't understand why Zhao Huaian would fall for her."
Zhong Xuexi had never told Ruan Qing about the bullying she had experienced at school, because she felt that if she told others about it, people would laugh at her. She had always endured it in silence for the sake of her face.
"I hate her."
Ruan Qing understood immediately, "No wonder you ignored Zhao Huaian, he was really too much. You two are in the same school, doesn't he know that you hate that girl?"
Zhong Xuexi's voice was choked with sobs, "How could he not know?"
"He's really going too far!" Ruan Qing has always maintained this attitude. She doesn't care much about many things, but this time she is really speechless.
Noticing that Zhong Xuexi was in a bad mood, she quickly comforted her, "Don't be angry yet. After the show is over, I'll help you scold him. Really, we grew up in the same compound, and Zhao Huaian still wants to turn his elbow outward! This is too much!"
Zhong Xuexi actually felt a little uncomfortable after hearing what Lin Ziqiu said before.
She even felt that she was a little too self-righteous. She asked others to do things that she could not do, which was too hypocritical.
But now that Ruan Qing was so considerate of her, she suddenly couldn't control herself.
"You really don't think I'm being unreasonable?" Zhong Xuexi's eyes were red. "I just feel that we grew up together. Although we mostly fought, we still have some affection for each other. He knew that Xu Li and I didn't have a good relationship, but he still went on a blind date with her. He did this. I don't think it's reasonable for me to consider him a friend anymore."
Ruan Qing had similar thoughts to hers. If it were her, she would not put herself in such a difficult position.
She asked directly to his face, either choose that woman or choose her.
If Zhao Huaian talked to Xu Li first, and Zhong Xuexi developed a bad relationship with her only later, then it cannot be blamed on Zhao Huaian.
But knowing that the other person is someone your childhood friend hates, you are still with her. That means you really don't take your childhood friend seriously.
"I understand you! But you must not cry here, there are so many people here!" Ruan Qing patted her hands, "Think of something happy. My brother is here tonight too. When I see him later, I'll point him out to you!"
Zhong Xuexi rubbed her eyes and tried to suppress her emotions, "Why doesn't Brother Zhihe sit in the front?"
Ruan Qing replied: "Your sister doesn't want to see him. If he sits in the front, it will be a nuisance."
Zhong Xuexi clenched her palms, and couldn't help but feel jealous of Zhong Xueyuan again.
The man she deeply loved, Zhong Xueyuan avoided like the plague.
Fate really played tricks on all of them.
Although Wei Zhihe did not sit in the front row, he put Zhong Niannian and Zhong Siyu in the front.
The two little dumplings sat very straight, and their well-behaved looks made people want to pinch their faces.
Wei Zhihe walked through the crowd and headed towards Ruan Qing and the others.
"My brother is here!"
Zhong Xuexi looked up suddenly, the joy in her eyes almost overflowing.
"To Brother He..."
Wei Zhihe nodded, then bent down.
Seeing him suddenly approaching, Zhong Xuexi's cheeks turned red. "Nian Nian and the others are sitting in the front, please keep an eye on them for me."
The man's clear and mellow voice floated into Zhong Xuexi's ears.
She spoke softly, "Okay, I'll keep an eye on them."
Wei Zhihe looked at his sister again, and only after seeing Ruan Qing nod did he hide himself with peace of mind.
Wei Zhihe had asked Zhou Shun yesterday and knew that Zhong Heyang would not come today, so the seats for the two children were exactly for him and Zhong Heyang.
He could only hide in the most inconspicuous place in the crowd, and it was a luxury for him to even catch a glimpse of Zhong Xueyuan.
Zhong Xuexi followed Wei Zhihe with a reluctant look, "Does he have to have Zhong Xueyuan?"
Ruan Qing lowered his eyes: "Don't you have to be with him too?"
Zhong Xuexi was a little melancholy, "Do you think I will never be able to be with him for the rest of my life?"
It was the first time that Ruan Qing heard Zhong Xuexi say such discouraging words.
"Do you regret it?" Ruan Qing asked her.
Zhong Xuexi sighed, "Not really."
But Lin Ziqiu’s words that day are still vivid in my mind.
She did like Wei Zhihe, but could she really ignore her grandmother's feelings?
Not to mention how difficult it would be for Wei Zhihe to really fall in love with her, does she really have the courage to face everyone's belittlement and abuse?
Or the kind of contempt that brings trouble to one's family.
It seemed like she really couldn't do it.
The marriage between Zhong Xueyuan and Wei Zhihe was decided very suddenly.
It was a rainy day for Zhong Xuexi. When she returned home, she saw the two elders, Wei and Zhong, sitting together.
Grandma hugged Zhong Xueyuan and cried sadly, while grandpa looked serious with a frown on his face.
On the other hand, Wei's mother's eyes were full of pride, and she said something about settling the marriage as soon as possible.
Wei's father smiled as if relieved from a heavy burden, and even said that if Zhong Xueyuan married into their family, they would definitely treat her like their own daughter.
