As soon as these words came out, the corridor fell completely silent. Li Mingyang's mother looked proud and smug, with a natural sense of superiority. She looked down on me from the bottom of her heart. It can be imagined that Xia Xue's mother had told her everything about me, so she could say this so recklessly and boldly.
Her attitude can represent the attitude of Xia Xue's mother. That is - I am not worthy of Xia Xue.
This sentence was so devastating that my mood suddenly sank to the bottom and I even lowered my head unconsciously. Everyone should be looking at me. What expressions were on their faces? Sarcasm? Mockery? Ridicule?
The silence was only temporary. Wen Xin immediately retorted, "The excellent child in your eyes is worse than a pile of stinky dog shit in our eyes!" Li Mingyang's mother said cheerfully, "Are you talking about the one next to you? I think he does look like him."
"Okay, let's stop talking about this." Xia Xue's father came out to smooth things over and said, "Every child is excellent. There's no need to rank them. Just because someone is not good now doesn't mean they won't be good in the future. There's no need to judge them by one thing."
Li Mingyang's mother was unhappy: "Am I wrong? Look at him, his family conditions are not good, and he is a gangster who fights everywhere. How can he match Xia Xue? My Li Mingyang and Xia Xue are the best match."
"Let's not talk about this now. The child is still young, and it's time for him to study hard." Xia Xue's father shook his head.
"Oh, dear relatives, you are wrong. Li Mingyang and Xia Xue are such good children. There is no need to worry about their studies. In my opinion, you should settle the matter as soon as possible so that the two children can be together without worry... Right? Is there anyone more suitable for Xia Xue than Li Mingyang? The two children are a match made in heaven." Li Mingyang's mother chattered on and on, and it was obvious that she had already set her eyes on Xia Xue.
Xia Xue's father hummed and hawed, as if he didn't know what to say. Li Mingyang's mother got even more excited, and kept talking about how well Li Mingyang and Xia Xue matched, and how the two children looked like a couple since they were young. Wen Xin kept "tsk"ing beside him, but couldn't say anything to refute. Li Mingyang's mother was the only one still talking in the corridor, as if it had become her own stage for performance.
I wanted to refute countless times, but I didn't know how to start. Because there was no way to refute it. Saying that I was better than Li Mingyang and more worthy of Xia Xue? That would only bring more sarcastic laughter, right? Wen Xin gently stroked my arm, comforting me with silent movements. I didn't dare to look at Xia Xue. She didn't say a word from beginning to end. Why didn't she speak? In front of four adults, she couldn't say anything even if she wanted to. Maybe she didn't want to say anything in the first place?
Suddenly, a cough was heard, and Zhou Mo said, "Well, I shouldn't be involved in this, but I also want to say something fair." Everyone quieted down again, and Li Mingyang's mother also looked at her. Zhou Mo herself has a strong aura, and it can be seen at a glance that she is a child from a wealthy family. When she stands there, she seems to be above everyone else. The four adults can also see that she is not simple, so no one wants to stop her from speaking. Zhou Mo said: "Dating is mainly about the intentions of both parties. Whether they are compatible or not is just the opinion of others. And now it is not a feudal society, and parents cannot arrange their children's marriages. So the key still depends on Xia Xue. Does she like Li Mingyang or Wang Hao? This is the most important thing. She has the freedom to like whomever she wants."
Everyone stared at each other. Li Mingyang's mother opened her mouth, but obviously couldn't say anything. Zhou Mo looked at Xia Xue: "Xia Xue, just express your feelings right here. Who do you like and who do you want to be with?" At this point, everyone looked at Xia Xue.
I also looked at Xia Xue. She was looking down now, so I couldn't see her expression or eyes, and couldn't guess what she was thinking.
"That's right, Xia Xue." Li Mingyang's mother said anxiously, "You like Li Mingyang, right? You two have been so close since you were young. Every time you play house, aren't you the mother and he the father? You also said that you would get married when you grow up."
Xia Xue didn't say anything, still lowering her head, twisting her clothes with her hands, as if she was making a difficult choice. Xia Xue's mother said, "Xia Xue, you told me that you and Wang Hao have broken up. Now that you've broken up, you can't think about him anymore."
Xia Xue once told me that she had broken up with me in order to deal with her mother. So now, will Xia Xue say that she likes Li Mingyang again to deal with adults? I comforted myself in my heart that even if Xia Xue said so, she was just dealing with it, perfunctory... But when I thought about Xia Xue's answer, my heart was filled with despair.
Xia Xue, will you answer this question? I looked at Xia Xue with great anticipation, but I was afraid that she would actually tell me the answer.
Even Xia Xue's father said, "Xia Xue, just tell me, and don't let us adults worry about you all day long."
"Oh, what else is there to say." Li Mingyang's mother chuckled: "She must like my Li Mingyang. My Li Mingyang is so outstanding, he studies well and is sensible, how could any girl not like him? Xia Xue is so young, she must be embarrassed to confess her feelings in front of so many people, really..."
"No."
A voice suddenly sounded, interrupting Li Mingyang's mother's words. This voice was firm, decisive, and unequivocal, and it was hard to believe that it came from her mouth. Xia Xue raised her head, her eyes full of determination.
The corridor fell silent again, and everyone looked at her in surprise.
There was no wind in the corridor and everyone was holding their breath.
