Chapter 323: No friendship without fighting. Perhaps because she didn’t want Jiang Si to laugh at her, Chris deliberately picked a fight.
"Aren't you busy? What are you doing here?"
Jiang Si found her baffling, closed her notebook, and asked slowly.
"Is there a rule that says I can't be here?"
Chris was furious. "This is the embassy. Outsiders are not allowed to wander around!"
"This is the embassy district, for sure."
Jiang Si looked at her and said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone, "But in the final analysis, this is Chinese territory. As a Chinese, I am traveling on my own territory. What's the problem?"
After a pause, she continued, "Don't forget, it was you who took the initiative to invite me for this design project."
In other words, she is now working.
What reason did Chris have to question her about this?
Chris seemed to realize this as well.
She wanted to refute, but after a lot of thinking, she couldn't find any point to refute.
After a long time, Chris suddenly sat down on the wooden chair next to her as if she was disappointed.
"Are you always so irritating when you talk?"
"It depends." Jiang Si felt her legs were a little sore after standing for a long time.
So he sat down next to her and said, "We Chinese have a saying, 'It's rude not to reciprocate.'"
"I don't understand." Chris replied in a muffled voice.
"It basically means, I'll treat you the same way you treat me."
Jiang Si finished speaking and glanced at her, "You're not that friendly to me either, are you?"
Chris was silent for a moment.
Just when Jiang Si thought she wouldn't answer, she turned around and looked over.
"I like him, you can tell, right?"
Jiang Si said, "Anyone with eyes can see this."
"Then do you know who he likes?"
"It doesn't matter. Whoever he likes is his freedom, just like you liking him is also your freedom."
"But he doesn't like me." After saying this, Chris's tears fell down.
At first it was just quiet sobbing.
Maybe the more I think about it, the more aggrieved I feel, or maybe it's because I've been suppressing it for too long.
Then she began to cry loudly.
Jiang Si was a little at a loss for a moment.
She's not very good at comforting people.
And she never thought that the person she would comfort would be Chris.
After all, the atmosphere was not harmonious when they met twice.
But after hesitating for a while, Jiang Si took out a red handkerchief from her bag and said, "Don't cry."
Chris took the handkerchief and was about to say, "I didn't expect you to be such a kind person."
Jiang Si's voice was already ringing, "Hurry up and wipe your tears, otherwise others will see it and think I bullied you."
Chris's face froze as she wiped her tears.
"You are such a jerk, you have a very poisonous mouth."
"Same here."
Seeing her like this, Jiang Si suddenly smiled.
"We Chinese have a saying: Three-legged toads are hard to find, but two-legged men are common."
"You are not bad in terms of conditions. There is really no need to hang yourself on this tree like Chi Heng."
Chris's father had also advised her this.
But she refused to listen and stubbornly said, "There are many good men in the world, but there is only one Chi Heng! He is the only man in the world!"
She replied to Jiang Si in the same way.
Jiang Si remained silent.
"But do you know?" She paused, glanced at Chris, and said seriously, "There is only one Chi Heng, but there is only one Chris in the world."
Chris was stunned for a moment.
It took her a long time to come back to her senses.
Yes, her family background, education, looks... no matter which country she is from, her conditions are not bad.
Why would she cling to someone who doesn't like her?
Even because of him, I took my anger out on others.
"Why are you comforting me?"
As if thinking about something, Chris looked at Jiang Si in confusion, "Just now, I said that to you in front of so many people... I was so rude to you..."
"But I didn't suffer any loss, did I?"
After Jiang Si said that it is better to resolve a feud than to create one, she spoke in a serious tone.
"You like him, it's your own business. I don't want to get involved, and I can't get involved. I just hope you don't drag me into it."
"Whether you believe it or not, Chi Heng and I will always be friends, driven by affection and separated by courtesy. That's all."
Having said everything that needed to be said, Jiang Si glanced at the time on her wrist and said, "It's getting late. I should go back."
