Chapter 352: Unspeakable Secret (2)
"So, your decision to study abroad instead of staying in China to go to college may be related to this?" Liu Ye asked with a smile.
"Liu Ye, you are so amazing!" Jin Song's face had just returned to normal color, but after Liu Ye revealed his true colors, he couldn't help but turn red again!
The red face, like a big apple, swayed in front of Liu Ye's eyes...
"Ha, ha..." Liu Ye laughed happily. She began to enjoy the happiness of being with a man who was not perfect!
The Jin Song in front of him was real and lovable. Because of his own revelation, his cleverly hidden weakness was exposed in front of him...
"Here's the thing. Ever since I fell uncontrollably in love with sand and sponges, I've been in a state of constant fear. I was afraid that my classmates would find out, I was afraid that my teachers would find out, I was afraid that I would become an alien in everyone's eyes! However, ever since I started liking to eat sand and sponges, my stomach no longer felt hungry, my brain was always in a particularly clear state, and my grades kept going up... So, I continued to eat while being afraid; I increased the amount while hiding it... At most, I could eat a bowl of sand in one go." Jin Song
"But, your stomach doesn't feel uncomfortable? How do you digest and excrete these things that enter your esophagus?" Liu Ye began to find this matter more and more interesting.
"There is no problem with this. My stomach may be a bit rough, so I don't feel any discomfort. My large intestine is also very good. As long as I eat sand and sponge, I will excrete them the next day..." Jin Song.
"However, I was a high school boarding student, and after a while, my roommates discovered my secrets. One time, seeing no one in the dorm, I scooped a spoonful of sand onto a plate and put it in my mouth while doing homework. A classmate who had just entered the room saw me. He pried open my mouth in surprise and yelled, 'Jin Song, are you crazy? This is sand, not sugar!' I froze, speechless. They then spread the story of me eating sand as a joke, and I never dared to eat in the dorm again! So, I thought, if I get into a university in China, the dormitories will still be this way. Someone with a few quirks like me wouldn't be able to live in such a transparent, privacy-free, collective living environment. That's when I thought about studying abroad... Coincidentally, my father has a good friend who teaches philosophy at Yale, so I went straight to him!" Jin Song didn't sound like a lie this time. His eyes looked at Liu Ye honestly.
"The accommodation environment abroad varies from person to person. After I went abroad to study, I always had my own room. It was quite relaxed and free..." Jin Song.
"Then why did you come back?" Liu Ye asked.
"By my junior year of university, I found that the amount of sand and sponges I ate had greatly decreased. Perhaps it was because the academic pressure was not so great, or perhaps it was because living alone in a dormitory was more free. With less stress and a relaxed mind, this strange hobby of mine seemed to be gradually under control!" Jin Song.
"My mother kept urging me to change my career and pursue a master's degree in computer science during every video call, and she said she could find a good advisor for me. So I decided to return to China!"
