Chen Chunhua once taught her two daughters that they should not help the poor in their love lives.
This poverty alleviation refers not mainly to material but spiritual aspects.
She believes that material things are temporary, but spiritual things are lifelong.
As long as a person has the ability and the will, given a chance, he can always make a living.
But if he always feels that he is poor and inferior in his spiritual world, not only will he never be able to get ahead in this life, but he may even end up hating those who come to help him.
From Lin Shumei's perspective after 20 years of life, she doesn't think Xu Xuejun is that kind of person. At least he is much more normal than her senior.
Or maybe, he is that kind of person but he hides it too deeply. Then we will see if he can hide it forever.
Instead of being on guard against backstabbing all the time, it is better to expand your own wings so that others have to put aside other thoughts and just praise her.
***
Lin Shumei has a new boyfriend, but this time the feeling is obviously not as explosive as before.
Every day I think about going to class with my boyfriend today and going to the cafeteria to eat with him tomorrow. I feel like I’m missing out if I don’t see him for a day.
This time, she focused more on herself.
When they have classes, they go to class; when they don't, they go to the company. On weekends, when Xu Xuejun is free, everyone gets together, either watching a movie quietly or chatting about recent interesting things in a small restaurant.
She enjoys this feeling now, having her own space while being alone with her friends. She doesn't have to worry about being criticized for not caring about her partner or not being able to manage her time.
Just like after a spring rain, the green under the ground quietly stretched out, itchy and sweet.
It was another Saturday, and she and Xu Xuejun made an appointment to go bowling together.
Lin Shumei picked out a bright red wool coat, wore white high-heeled boots, sprayed some sweet perfume on herself, put on lipstick and fixed her hair. She stood in front of the full-length mirror in the dormitory and twisted for a long time before she put on her bag and went out.
I have to pick up Xu Xuejun first. After all, she has a car, which is more convenient.
The white car was parked outside the school, so she had to walk a few steps to drive it. She really didn't dare to be so conspicuous as to park the car inside the school.
Lin Shumei walked on the campus in her high heels, but her good mood disappeared before she even reached the school gate.
She saw her ex-boyfriend.
The senior was walking quickly towards her with his coat gathered around him.
Lin Shumei thought, this is someone's alma mater, maybe there is something going on when she returns to school? The school is not run by her family, so there is nothing she can do if she meets an acquaintance she doesn't like.
She politely moved to the side to make way, but the man still came straight towards her.
Lin Shumei frowned, but before she could make another move, the senior student spoke in a very unhappy tone.
"Why are you wearing perfume again? And dressed so brightly. Shumei, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you're a student, so you should act like a student. How can you dress like a member of society every day? How can you concentrate on studying if you do that?"
Lin Shumei: ??? Excuse me?
"Society person" Lin Shumei took a step back and looked him up and down, then spoke in a sarcastic tone.
"Which college are you a teacher or dean of?"
The senior was suddenly speechless.
"Or are you a senior in the second year of graduate school?"
He hadn't been admitted to graduate school, had been taking the exam for two years, and hadn't been accepted. Lin Shumei was stabbing him in the heart.
"Or which school rules or national laws set dress code requirements for me? Am I breaking the law?"
"Then please call the police immediately and let them punish me."
After Lin Shumei finished speaking, she rolled her eyes towards the sky, half to her ex-boyfriend across from her and half to herself.
Was she sick back then? Why would she fall for such a father?
Her father's ideas are much more open than this person's!
Seeing that Lin Shumei was about to leave again, "Daddy Senior" quickly reached out and grabbed her arm.
"What are you doing! What's the point of pulling and tugging?" Lin Shumei pushed him away. These were the words that the senior had said at the time, and now it was considered over.
The man's face flushed red, and he stammered, "No,
"No, that's not what I meant." He came here to ask for reconciliation, so why did he explode right from the start?
"Shumei, you, you are so angry now. Your words are so sharp. It's not like you at all."
Lin Shumei rolled her eyes again, "Then you're mistaken. This is me. I've always been like this. It's just that my brain got muddled over the past year and that's why I changed."
Senior: ...
Lin Shumei didn't want to have too much entanglement with an ex-boyfriend with whom she had already broken up. It would be unfair to herself who had to clear her mind of the water, and also unfair to her gentle and kind current boyfriend.
"If you don't have anything to do, get out of the way. If you have something to do, don't look for me. I'm busy!" After saying that, he crossed his arms and walked around the crowd.
The senior student hurried to catch up, as if he didn’t hear clearly what Lin Shumei said, “Don’t come to me if you have any problems,” and went straight to the point.
"Shumei, how have you been these past six months?"
"Don't you have eyes? I look rosy and happy, and everything is going great!"
Senior: ...
“But I’m not doing well.”
"What does it have to do with me? I'm not your mother."
Senior: ...
"Shumei, why have you become like this? I'm your boyfriend, don't you care about me at all?"
"Hey! Stop it!" Lin Shumei stopped and almost slapped the person in the face to signal him to stop.
"What kind of boyfriend are you? We broke up in the spring, and it's winter now. Even if you're a ghost, you'd have to come out at night if you disappeared during the day, right? If you've been gone for more than half a year, you'd have been reduced to ashes long ago. I'm lucky enough that I don't burn paper for you, but I still care about you???"
She looked at this man as if he were a fool. There must be something wrong with his mind.
"You, you..." The person on the other side was speechless, but still tried hard to hold his anger.
"Shumei, I know I was wrong last time. I shouldn't have said you were a young lady who had never suffered. You are already very outstanding and will definitely have a bright future in the future... It was my fault last time, I apologize."
Lin Shumei rolled her eyes and kept walking forward. When she heard this, she curled her lips and said insincerely,
"oh."
"But my original intention was also for your own good, for the good of our future, right?"
"We have no future, so stop worrying about it." Lin Shumei rolled her eyes again. She could already see her car, so she quickened her pace, and even the person next to her quickened her pace.
"Shumei, I think we're a good match. If you think I'm always trying to teach you something, then I'll stop saying it. And you should be more sensible... Whose car is this?"
"Whose else could it be? It's mine!"
