Riding his electric scooter around campus, watching the group of people still diligently running the campus race, Bai Ye felt incredibly happy.
I used to be just like them, but things are different now. Now I'm a man who can use an electric scooter to get around.
I remember when I was a freshman running on campus, I watched them ride electric scooters with envy, and I was so envious that I wanted to run like them. I even secretly mocked those people for being so weak, having to use an electric scooter to run.
But only now does Bai Ye realize how exhilarating it was, ultimately becoming the very person he once hated most.
The electric scooter stopped near the library, which was the first stop. Since it couldn't go in, Bai Ye had to get off and go farm points.
Holding his own phone and Luo Qingyan's phone, Bai Ye walked towards the turn ahead.
Soon, the phone vibrated to indicate that the check-in was successful. Bai Ye was about to put down the phone when, for some reason, his hand slipped and he accidentally touched Luo Qingyan's phone.
Suddenly, Bai Ye was back on the desktop from the app, and her hand trembled. (When I run on campus, I often switch to the desktop, then I don't count the distance for a while, and my pace picks up again, so I have to speed up and run again. (?_?|||))
Because Luo Qingyan's desktop wallpaper is... a photo of the two of them!
That's the photo the two of them had their aunt take during the National Day holiday.
The girl was cute and sweet, while the boy was quite ordinary.
Bai Ye's heart became very unsettled.
He's not really emotionally naive; doesn't he understand Luo Qingyan's feelings for him?
Bai Ye rubbed his face, his smile revealing a complex mix of emotions.
Luo Qingyan is very pretty and cute; no boy could dislike her, and Bai Ye was no exception.
But it was only based on physical attraction; men are lustful creatures, and Bai Ye himself believed so.
It's all just lust at first sight.
Luo Qingyan's looks destined her to have many admirers.
But in this world, looks matter. Love is so cheap nowadays; appearance and money have long become the primary criteria for judgment.
If he were still the same naive young man he was a year ago, he might still believe in love, but a year of experiences has made him somewhat lose hope in love.
Bai Ye doesn't particularly enjoy drinking, but sometimes when he's sad or upset because of Yao Yuyan, he'll drink to drown his sorrows, living a life of blissful oblivion without needing to filter his thoughts.
He witnessed two strangers, a man and a woman, passionately kissing over a simple game.
It shocked him, but he had no right to judge others.
He initially liked Yao Yuyan because she was beautiful and had a high level of attractiveness. Later, as he got to know her better, he truly fell in love with her.
Bai Ye was quite certain that he didn't have any genuine feelings for Luo Qingyan at the moment; it was just a matter of liking her looks and the friendship he had built up over two years in the game.
Bai Ye didn't know how to face Luo Qingyan.
He couldn't help but recall the little things they did together in the game.
I thought of what the girl originally looked like.
I had some guesses in my mind.
Luo Qingyan's feelings for him may not be love, but rather a kind of dependence.
Luo Qingyan suffers from depression, dropped out of high school and stayed at home, becoming addicted to games and unexpectedly meeting Bai Ye.
At that time, Luo Qingyan was in a very bad state, and her interactions with Bai Ye seemed very depressed.
He often gives up on himself, then falls into a brief silence and cries.
Bai Ye felt sorry for her and often tried to comfort her. Fortunately, the girl's parents also noticed and hired a psychologist. With much persuasion, the girl's autism was finally cured.
Luo Qingyan is not good at socializing and rarely interacts with other boys or even girls, often preferring to be alone.
This is something she could see every time she met Luo Qingyan, all by herself.
After all, when you first enter a university dormitory, you'll basically stick together and only start to have conflicts after you've been together for a while.
This is what Bai Ye's dorm room looks like, so he was a little worried that the girl might be ostracized or bullied.
Luo Qingyan is actually a naive girl, as pure as a blank sheet of paper, and may not yet know what it means to like or dislike.
However, Bai Ye dared not openly express his guesses and thoughts.
What if Luo Qingyan gets emotional and loses control?
Depression is a really troublesome thing. If the little girl develops any bad thoughts, then he would really be guilty.
Bai Ye sighed: Let's just leave it at that and pretend nothing happened!
Deep down, he harbored a sliver of hope that Luo Qingyan would turn out differently than he had imagined.
While hoping that Luo Qingyan truly liked him, his inferiority complex made him smile bitterly.
Everything was just a convenient excuse he made up.
He felt he was unworthy, which was his true feeling.
He didn't know exactly how well-off Luo Qingyan's family was, but judging from her clothes, she was definitely a little princess in the family.
Even after graduating from junior college, he can only get a factory job, earning less than ten thousand yuan a month. What right does he have to marry someone?
I can't afford a house, and I don't have the money for a car.
With no house, no car, and no savings, how can I provide a better life for others?
What do they rely on? Promises and empty promises?
Bai Ye firmly believed that love comes from money.
He didn't want Luo Qingyan to suffer with him in the future.
He used to dream of making a lot of money and marrying a beautiful wife, but now he can only dream about it; reality is too cruel.
He's just wasting his time at university now; he doesn't even respect himself.
He's the kind of fool who talks about making changes but does nothing about them.
Perhaps Luo Qingyan doesn't mind these things, but would her parents agree?
Would someone agree to let their daughter marry a penniless, homeless, and nobody-owning young man?
What a joke! Anyone with a modicum of sense knows how to make the right choice.
A person without ability lives in constant anxiety.
Bai Ye envied those gigolos who were kept by wealthy women, who had no worries about food or clothing, and even had rich women giving them money to spend.
But as much as I envy him, it's absolutely impossible for Bai Ye to choose to be kept by a sugar daddy.
What a joke! He doesn't have the looks of a pretty boy, nor does he care about his older sister like one, and he doesn't have any outstanding talent.
The image of Xia Qingyue involuntarily appeared in Bai Ye's mind.
But it quickly turned into self-deprecation.
Bai Ye took Xia Dafupo's talk about taking care of him as a joke.
He was indeed tempted, but like a hostage with no value, he could be disposed of at the kidnappers' discretion.
Being kept as a sugar daddy is just like being a hostage.
When a rich woman is happy, she takes him along; when she's unhappy, she can get lost. After all, there are plenty of people like you, and finding another one is easy for a rich person.
Bai Ye simply felt that he had no bargaining power; agreeing to be kept was like being a lamb to the slaughter.
So being kept as a sugar daddy? That's absolutely impossible in this lifetime!
He had no intention of using the money Xia Qingyue gave him.
We need to find a chance to pay her back; we really don't feel comfortable keeping this money!
Ugh! I'm so tired!
The second day of missing Senior Meng!
