Chapter 24
"Ask him." C urged.
I immediately lowered my head to send a WeChat message when I saw his second message pop up: "The thing I hear most is that people can't speak."
I asked, "Is this person who can't talk just dull and doesn't talk, or does he just kill the conversation easily when he talks?"
He replied: "I think it's because I'm afraid of silence, so I say things I shouldn't. Actually, I used to say that too, and no girl ever said I can't talk. Maybe I'm not good-looking enough now."
I was a little curious: "For example?"
"I used to be so popular that girls didn't dare talk to me. Now I'm just a passerby."
Now C and I finally understood what that indescribable feeling of ours was.
Humility is a virtue, young man.
Although I can praise you, you cannot praise yourself.
As someone who wanted to keep trying, I didn't have the nerve to cruelly hit him with a knife. Instead, I said considerately, "Soak goji berries in a thermos and go to the beauty salon for a beauty treatment."
Later, we chatted for a while until C left.
When I got home, I was the first to greet him: "I'm home"
Taking this opportunity, we talked about the transportation in LS. He also said that he had been to LS last year and had many memories of LS.
I thought it was because of work, so I asked him. He told me that it was because he had pursued a girl before, so he had a lot of memories.
So this is why he kept telling me that he thought LS was good and gave him a lot of memories?
After hesitating for a moment, I asked cautiously, "Can you tell me why you broke up in the end?"
He replied very nonchalantly: "We're not together, I've been pursuing her for half a year!"
I didn't know how to respond. The interjections he added made me feel his regret.
It is said that what you cannot get will always cause you unrest.
After thinking for a moment, I replied, "Okay, I thought you got her."
After sending this, I prepared to turn off my phone and go to sleep.
"No, she doesn't like me."
I looked at the phone screen, hesitated for a moment, and said carefully: "You are really determined. The young lady must be very beautiful. If it had taken me so long, I would have wished her well."
I want to end this topic and even feel a little disgusted with it.
But he didn't seem to intend to stop.
"You guys at LS really do have a lot of beautiful women. I saw quite a few at the client's company. The good-looking ones are very popular."
I quipped, "Yeah wow, too bad I'm not."
As I continued typing, his messages continued to arrive: "If it weren't for my studies before, I could be a sea king now."
Before I could reply, another message from him popped up: "What a pity, I didn't date anyone when I was in school."
I was a little pissed off, really, because the word "Aquaman" is not a compliment to me, and when he said it, it felt like he was showing off.
Does he regret not being able to become Aquaman?
"Did you look like Qing Teng's profile picture when you were in school?"
"yes."
Actually, at this point, he has already stepped on my two landmines.
Feeling a little annoyed, I sent him a screenshot of the chat history on Qingteng No. 26.
"Actually, if you ignore me today, I'll give up. I plan to unfollow you by 10 o'clock that day if you don't reply to my message."
Across the internet, he didn't notice that I was already upset, and continued, "You seem very anxious."
I laughed, and laughed out of anger.
If he had just gone to the entrance of Qingteng Village to look around and chat more often, he would have discovered how patient I am.
Who can persevere for the first half of a month, even with such a strong will? Many people give up after three days. I've persisted for so long, so why should I be in such a hurry?
Maybe.
My colleagues always say that I am too easy to talk to, and sometimes I like to give people too much leeway and face when doing things, which makes people angry.
I admit this.
But at this time, I could still control my unhappiness, so I replied to him: "No, because I looked at it, it's been about 10 days, and it's basically me asking questions and you answering them. People around me are saying you're not suitable, so I persisted at the time. If you still don't reply, I will give up. I have a friend who has ignored me and advised me to give up, but I didn't give up. I didn't even make a dinner appointment today."
"Looks are still useful at critical moments." I don't know what kind of mentality he had when he said this.
I held my breath and said, "Yes, it's all thanks to your profile picture."
Later I emphasized it again.
He continued to send messages, and perhaps because I still sent more messages than he did, he suddenly said, "Sometimes people around you advise you for a reason. They see things more clearly than you do."
I was stunned. What did he mean?
"Well, do you think they can see clearly this time?"
To be honest, this is the third time he has stepped on my landmine. I can hardly control myself and keep the mask of calm on the surface while suppressing the huge waves.
"Do you want to hear the truth?"
"Go ahead."
"In fact, a relationship of equality is the best in love. Otherwise, you will get hurt, especially girls."
In fact, what he said is not wrong at all, but the person who said it is wrong.
From his perspective, he shouldn't be the one saying this to me.
My friend can say this to me, my pen pal can say this to me, and I can say this to myself, but he can't say this to me.
If he said that, would that be denying that I had done all the wrong things over the past ten days? Should I not have persisted? Should I have given up earlier?
"I think I understand something."
Unfortunately, he didn't understand what I meant and continued, "Those who have never been in love may not understand this. This is a truth I learned after being rejected by a girl."
"I can especially understand the uncontrollable emotions you feel when you fall in love with someone."
"Every word I say may not have a purpose, but I just share some insights from someone who has experienced it with those who are destined to hear them."
"Maybe that's why girls keep saying I can't talk anymore."
Although every sentence is about himself, every sentence seems to be pointing to me.
I didn't know what his purpose was in saying this, but I felt a little embarrassed and didn't even know how to respond, so I just said, "Have you ever been deeply hurt in a relationship?"
"Isn't it true that falling in love means getting hurt?"
In one word, I think I understand.
I decided not to hold back any longer. "I see. It seems you've indeed been deeply hurt in a relationship. Although I've never been in a relationship, I write romance novels, and sometimes I've learned about certain things from people with experience. Do you want to hear my honest opinion?"
