No need to think about it.
Lin An couldn't make a decision.
Or just like the trolley problem, once you make a decision, you go from being a bystander to a perpetrator.
It has nothing to do with being the regretful ex-girlfriend or the burdensome ex-wife. Lin An cannot make a decision that will hurt someone.
"Besides," Xu Yaoji continued after watching Lin An remain silent for a long time, "You don't really think I, Xu Yaoji, am the kind of love-brained character who can only rely on men. This girlfriend competition agreement isn't just about you choosing me. It's a two-way choice between us."
Lin An understood what Xu Yaoji meant.
In many romance novels or romance TV dramas, the female characters are basically the male protagonist's vassals. As long as the male protagonist chooses them and the female protagonist falls madly in love with the male protagonist, that's it.
In reality, there are many girls who like boys so much that they have to have five or six abortions and are completely unable to get pregnant. Boys always seem to take the lead in love.
But whether it is Xu Yaoji or Ye Ju, they are not ordinary girls. They can live peacefully without love.
Their relationship with Lin An is not that they must have Lin An, but it is a two-way choice.
If Lin An makes the wrong choice, they will be disappointed in him and their feelings towards him will decline.
For example, in the Best Couple competition, Lin An chose Gong Ya among Ye Ju, Jian Shuier, Xu Yaoji, and Gong Ya, which was a big blow to Ye Ju and Xu Yaoji.
A big reason why Ye Ju was determined to embark on the path of revenge was that he was betrayed by Lin An.
Xu Yaoji made some changes later because he was not chosen by Lin An that time.
Only Jian Shuier, a girl who is not sure whether to say she is wise but appears foolish or really stupid, still likes him without changing her original intention.
The situation is the same now. In the confrontation between Xu Yaoji and Jian Shuier, Lin An did not help Xu Yaoji, who was always at a disadvantage. This made Xu Yaoji feel the loneliness of fighting alone again. He was deeply disappointed with Lin An, and his feelings towards Lin An declined.
Lin An made the wrong choice again.
At this point, the ending of Lin An and Xu Yaoji is destined to be regrettable.
Lin An took a deep breath and said, "What can I do for you?"
Lin An had no way to actively choose who to do, but at least he could take the initiative to do something for Xu Yaoji.
"Is the scarf I gave you warm?" Xu Yaoji said with a faint smile.
Xu Yaoji gave Lin An a gift some time ago, a dark gray cashmere scarf with Qian'an's dark pattern embroidered on the edge. It felt very delicate, and the end still had a lingering scent of rich cedar mixed with a light scent of white musk, which was the base note of Xu Yaoji's commonly used perfume.
Wearing it around the neck will not make you feel cold all winter long. Xu Yaoji said it was an early birthday gift for him.
"Very warm." Lin An replied immediately.
"That's great." Xu Yaoji smiled brightly and raised his hand gently: "Goodbye then."
After saying that, Xu Yaoji turned around and left without any hesitation.
It's another goodbye for the last time we meet in this life.
The relationship between the two people is very clear. Lin An had no way to choose Xu Yaoji on his own initiative. Xu Yaoji was disappointed with Lin An and chose to leave.
Logically, Lin An should have stood there and watched Xu Yaoji leave. After all, it was he who made the wrong choice.
But a strong sense of unwillingness welled up in his heart. He stepped forward and grabbed Xu Yaoji's hand, saying, "Is there really no other way? You didn't tell Jian Shuier the answer before because you lacked confidence. You were worried that you were no longer special like Jian Shuier. Now that I've come this far, do I still need to say it myself?"
Xu Yaoji said immediately with tears in his eyes: "Nonsense, of course! How would others know if you don't say it out loud?"
Xu Yaoji said that he was pathologically gentle and he would like whoever liked him. He also said that Jian Shuier's position in his heart was no different from that of Theresa and the others.
In fact, these were all Xu Yaoji's rhetoric to make Jian Shuier admit defeat.
He does like whoever likes him, but he is not a robot. He is a boy with normal human emotions. The girls' personalities, experiences with girls, the girls' dedication to him, the order in which the girls met him, and the existence of the system will all affect their ranking in his heart.
I feel a little sorry for Theresa, but Jian Shuier is definitely more important to him than Theresa.
Where is Xu Yaoji?
The bond between these two poor people who share the same fate is also special.
"You are the regret that I will never be able to let go of after I let you go." Lin An shouted with all his strength, and his voice echoed throughout the classroom.
Lin An knew that when he said this, it would actually exacerbate the love entanglement between him and Xu Yaoji, making Xu Yaoji, who had finally let him go, become fragmented again and feel very uncomfortable.
However, Lin An understood Xu Yaoji. Xu Yaoji was just like him. No matter how strong he looked on the outside, he was actually very weak on the inside.
Xu Yaoji couldn't give up on him completely, so she was just pretending to be nonchalant.
The ending of his story with Xu Yaoji shouldn't be such a regret that he can never let go of in his lifetime.
"What do you want? Can you choose me? You can't choose me!" Xu Yaoji's tears were already falling from the corners of his eyes. He forcibly shook off Lin An's grip: "Enough, I have gained enough. Don't torture me anymore, and don't torture yourself anymore. I, Xu Yaoji, have become accustomed to being alone, and it doesn't matter if I am alone in the future."
Xu Yaoji said that what he had gained was enough. What was enough? It was the love experience he had gained that was enough.
Xu Yaoji is a very smart girl. She likes to do things in a chained manner and has hardly ever lost.
