Chapter 39
Xue Ling hesitated for a while between jumping out of the car and kicking Wen Jiuze out, and the anger in her heart slowly subsided.
This was not the first day she knew Wen Jiuzhe. Wen Jiuzhe was like this three or four years ago, often not speaking human language.
If you stay angry with him for a while longer, you will be fooled by him.
People who don't know Wen Jiuze think he is a cool guy who doesn't like to talk to people. People who know him a little think he is a smiling person who doesn't care about anything. People who are closest to him know that he is a mean person who deserves a beating.
Xue Ling has gotten used to it. If Wen Jiuze suddenly stops being mean one day, Xue Ling will wonder if he has become a different person.
When dating Wen Jiuze, Xue Ling realized one thing: Wen Jiuze, like all men, would lie.
When he doesn't want to talk, you can't pry the truth out of him.
Xue Ling had seen other men tell lies mostly for their own benefit.
For example, her biological father came to see her when she was in elementary school. He cried and told her that he missed her and hoped that she could persuade her mother to go back with him. He said that the divorce was forced and it was her mother who was looking for trouble and not caring about the family.
He probably thought she was young and didn't remember anything from her childhood, so he came to lie to her.
My uncle also lies. He made some extra money outside, but lost it playing mahjong with others. So he went home and lied to my aunt and said that he didn't make any money.
I went to play cards with my friends in the evening, and when my aunt asked me about it, I said I went fishing.
The male classmates in school would also lie. It was clearly them who confessed to her, but she did not accept. Then she turned around and chatted with others and said that they rejected her.
But Wen Jiuze's lies are different from others. He usually does not lie to cover up his mistakes.
He seemed to think that she was extremely fragile, and any bad possibility or bad news would overwhelm her or even scare her to death.
So no matter what big or small things happened, he would pretend to be calm and not let her bear any pressure.
When encountering difficulties, he keeps silent and just wants to solve them by himself.
It would be better to expect him to develop a truth serum than to expect him to speak frankly.
Xue Ling had been suffering from her mute ex-boyfriend for a long time, and the dissatisfaction accumulated over time finally exploded.
Did he really think that she wouldn't be able to guess it if he didn't tell her? What a joke! She is really good at playing reasoning games!
Don't expect to get ready-made answers from men. You have to find the real answers yourself.
First, let’s do a mind map.
Xue Ling took out a tablet and picked up a pen to poke at it.
Wen Jiuze's purpose was twofold: one was for himself, and the other was for her.
Xue Ling knew it very well in her heart, because she was more likely to be the one.
Wen Jiuze, the guy pretending to be dead, actually cared a lot about the fact that she turned into a zombie.
It is known that the reason why she became such a special zombie was because of Taisui of the Wen family.
Wen Jiuze did not say it explicitly but indirectly admitted that Wen Xuan was suspected to have turned into a zombie like her, and it was basically certain that it was also because of Taisui.
From this point of view, the Wen family's Tai Sui should be very precious and rare. If the Wen family still had Tai Sui, Wen Jiuze would have gone to the Wen family and would have gotten one for her to try, so the Wen family should not have had Tai Sui at that time.
They left Anxi City soon, and Wen Jiuze never mentioned Taisui again.
If you think about it carefully, according to Wen Jiuze's personality, the more he avoids talking about something, the more he is thinking about it in his heart.
Now we know that his destination is actually Andong City.
What is there in Andong City?
Not long ago, they mentioned Wen Jiuze's sister Wen Yi. Xue Ling easily thought of Wen Yi who was also in Andong City.
Wen Jiuze has a bad relationship with the Wen family, so he would not go to find Wen Yi unless it was necessary.
So, is it possible that he thought Wen Yi had Tai Sui in her hands, so he wanted to find her?
Wen Jiu had Tai Sui in his hand at that time, and Wen Xuan also ate Tai Sui. So, as a child of the Wen family, Wen Yi might have also been given Tai Sui at that time?
…
Wen Jiuze was driving the car, and after a long time, he didn't wait for Xue Ling to beat him up, so he glanced at her sideways several times.
Look at her holding the tablet and poking at it with a pen, as if she is thinking about something, as serious as when she was doing the homework in the past.
"What are you thinking about, so serious?"
Xue Ling didn't even raise his head. He input his speculation into the notepad and let the tablet read it out loud.
"I already know what you want to do in Andong City. You want to find Wen Yi to get Tai Sui..."
Although the electronic voice's flat reading sounded funny, Wen Jiuze couldn't laugh.
He was concentrating on the road ahead. After listening, he hummed and said nonchalantly, "You have been thinking about this for so long. I thought you were thinking about how to teach me a lesson. You were so nervous for nothing."
Xue Ling narrowed her eyes and observed his expression, and she was already certain of her guess in her heart.
When has this guy ever driven so attentively? He seems to be concentrating on driving, but he is actually thinking about how to continue hiding the truth.
The tablet's electronic voice came out again: "You are trying to change the subject, and I guessed it right."
Your ex-girlfriend is so sincere to you, but you still play tricks on her.
Wen Jiuzhe: "..."
"Tsk." He stopped looking at the road and took her tablet to take a look. "You're so smart all of a sudden. Why are you guessing about this? Wouldn't you be happier if you were a little stupid and didn't think about anything?"
Xue Ling snatched the tablet back and shouted to him at the highest volume on her electronic speaker: "You forced me to do this!!"
She could just not think about anything and let him go crazy with the heavy psychological pressure on him!
"It's such a simple matter, why are you hiding it from me? Can't you just tell me directly?"
What's wrong with this dog's brain circuit? Sometimes it goes straight to the brain, and sometimes it goes in a winding way.
Wen Jiuze was silent for a long time: "How can I tell you something that is not certain?"
"What if Wen Yi is not in Andong City, what if she is no longer Taisui, what if Taisui is of no use to you... If I tell you, won't you be disappointed?"
"What's wrong with being disappointed? It's not like I haven't been disappointed before. Disappointment is a very normal emotion."
"When I was a kid, I hoped my mom would come back to see me during holidays, but I would be disappointed if she didn't come back because she was too busy at work. I was also disappointed when I didn't get into the school I wanted. I was also disappointed when I didn't win the small appliance I liked in the supermarket lottery... There are so many disappointments in life, what's the big deal."
Wen Jiuze was silent for a long time, and was speechless for a rare moment.
He thought of his mother.
His mother was in poor health, and people who were always in bed would worry too much. Even bad weather would make her depressed and her condition worse.
He was bullied outside, neighbors said mean things about him, relatives came to collect debts...all the bad news would make her miserable.
Over time, Wen Jiuze got used to it. He never showed any bad things in front of her, never said anything that would put pressure on her, and his first reaction when encountering any problems was to bear them himself and hide them from her.
It's no big deal, as long as she can be healthier and happier.
There are only two people he cares about, his mother and Xue Ling.
He subconsciously treated Xue Ling the same way he treated his mother.
But Xue Ling didn't seem to need that kind of treatment from him.
Wen Jiuze stopped making jokes and said calmly, "I hope you can live an easy life and not be disappointed."
Xue Ling: “…”
She started flipping through the videos on her tablet. Wen Jiuze didn't hear her response for a long time, so he turned around and found that she was watching a TV series seriously.
After a while, the TV series started playing.
The woman with a bitter face hugged the man with bleeding mouth and cried, shouting: "Erniu! Why didn't you tell me that you had this disease!"
The man was dying, and he said, "I'm afraid you'll worry, Osmanthus. If I don't tell you, you can just live happily and easily..."
Amid the sad and rustic music, Wen Jiuze felt a silent mockery.
Not long after Xue Ling was released, she changed to another TV series, this time it was a spy drama set in the Republic of China.
"Comrade Zhenxiang, I have no feelings for you. Please don't come to me again!"
The scene changed, and the stubborn man was hit. He covered his stomach and grabbed the woman's hand and said, "I'm lying to you if I say I don't love you. My situation is very dangerous and I could get into trouble at any time. You're still young and I don't want you to feel sad for me."
The woman cried and called out to Feng Ge. A man who was also injured rushed over and slapped him, saying, "If you're afraid that my sister will be upset, then don't tell her about it for the rest of your life. You'd better take it with you into your coffin. Why are you talking about your difficulties now?"
The tearful episode ended with the ending theme playing, "Oh~ I really love you~ All the secrets I kept from you were actually confessions~"
Wen Jiuze had never watched this kind of TV series, but he felt that this silly plot had a hidden meaning.
Xue Ling still felt that it was not enough, so she switched to a costume TV series.
It's still a struggle between two men and women. The hero loves the heroine very much, but due to family reasons, he has to marry another woman who is of equal status. His family also threatens to deal with the heroine if she doesn't separate.
So the male protagonist said with a heartbroken expression that he didn't love the female protagonist at all.
The two broke up sadly, and then the heroine found another male partner. However, the hero, who had said he wanted to break up, couldn't accept this scene and continued to pester the heroine.
"Don't go! Yan'er, I had my reasons for doing so. I don't like her at all. I only like you!"
"What's the point of you saying this now?"
The two were arguing and suddenly kissed each other.
When the male and female protagonists were saying certain lines, Xue Ling turned her head to the side and gave Wen Jiuze a meaningful look.
When the man and woman started kissing, Wen Jiuze also looked at Xue Ling meaningfully and sighed with regret.
Xue Ling: What are you regretting?
Finally, she turned off the melodramatic TV series, and the car fell silent again.
"How do you feel after watching it?" Xue Ling asked.
“It feels...very educational.”
Xue Ling wondered if he had really been taught a lesson: "So what do you understand?"
Wen Jiuze answered the question in his own unique way: "When I first told you I wanted to break up, I should have cried."
Oh no, he really learned something from it.
Xue Ling originally wanted him to just say what he had to say instead of hiding it, but he said to just say it while crying?
Crying and talking like that, she had never seen him cry with her own eyes, with red eyes and tears falling? She couldn't imagine it.
"If you cry in front of me now, I will forgive you." Xue Ling said this as if he was selling at a loss.
"Are you serious?"
"Really, you cried and begged me for forgiveness."
Wen Jiuze really found a place to park the car, turned around and faced Xue Ling, and stirred up his emotions, as if he was ready to cry.
Then he looked at Xue Ling and suddenly burst out laughing.
Xue Ling tapped the seat and urged, "I made you cry and you're still laughing, hurry up!"
Wen Jiuze stopped laughing, looked at the desolate scene outside the window, and turned his head again. Meeting Xue Ling's expectant gaze, he couldn't help but curl his lips.
What are you laughing at!
Xue Ling played a very sad song for him to create an atmosphere for him.
The result was the opposite effect. This time Wen Jiuze just fell down laughing. He said, "I remembered the spy drama just now. The man was half dead and confessed his love, but was slapped unconscious by the person next to him. Hahahaha!"
The plot wasn't really funny at first, but after he said that, Xue Ling also wanted to laugh.
"And that costume drama, where the male lead said he didn't love the female lead. Who would believe that with that look in his eyes? It's ridiculous."
Xue Ling: Yes, his acting skills are not good. When they broke up, the heroine could see that he was saying one thing and thinking another. But you are a natural actor. When we broke up, you acted as if it was real.
Xue Ling looked at her ex-boyfriend with pity and explained to him: "This is the hero's cleverness, so he can still be with the heroine in the end, and you are still her ex-boyfriend."
Wen Jiuzhe: "..."
"Are you going to cry or not? Hurry up."
"I can't cry." Wen Jiuze leaned back in his chair. "My mind is full of those stupid TV dramas you just played. I think every one of them is hilarious."
Xue Ling: You said they were funny, but you are the funniest.
"Don't you think you are a lot like them?"
"I don't think so. Not at all." Wen Jiuze said confidently, "I won't let you be as sad as those heroines."
Xue Ling wanted to refute, but after thinking carefully, she found that she couldn't refute.
Because compared to being sad, she was indeed more angry when she thought of Wen Jiuze.
For more than three years, every sleepless night, she would often think about the past and get so angry that she would imagine a hundred ways for her ex-boyfriend to die.
Sad? I'd rather be sad when I think of my mom.
