Chapter 150
Han Shengyi came to the post office. He was not as active as Chu Jiujiu and did not come early in the morning. He had lunch before slowly coming to queue up.
From a distance, Han Shengyi saw the long queue over there. He frowned and walked over slowly.
The people waiting in line to make phone calls had different expressions. Some looked very happy, some were slightly excited, and some were sobbing quietly.
All aspects of life, joy, anger, sorrow and happiness are almost all hidden in this team.
Han Shengyi is special. He is in a calm mood, neither happy nor sad, he is just a little worried.
Others call to contact their families, but he calls to be scolded.
…
The main reason was that the timing of Chu Shao's letter was too coincidental. He and Chu Jiujiu had just had a little quarrel, and then Chu Shao wrote to him out of the blue. Anyone could see that Chu Shao did this because of Chu Jiujiu.
Chu Shao is well-known for being protective of his child. When he is at home, he treats Chu Jiujiu like the apple of his eye. Even though he rarely goes home, he always inquires about the goings-on at home in great detail.
Although he was not very willing to leave, he still repeatedly told him to take good care of Chu Jiujiu. For this, he even paid for Han Shengyi to have a meal. For others, treating someone to a meal was nothing, but for a stingy person like Chu Shao, it was really the first time in the world.
You know, he wouldn't even spend a penny when he went out with Chu Liqiang. He would only open his wallet when he was with Chu Jiujiu or Wen Xiuwei.
To sum up, Han Shengyi felt that he was bound to get scolded today.
Forget it, just scold him. He intended to kidnap someone else's sister. Not to mention being scolded, even if he gets beaten, all we can say is that he deserves it.
Han Shengyi's thoughts were very clear, but Chu Shao on the phone didn't scold him at all.
His voice sounded fierce and cold, but beneath his tough exterior, there was a subtle resignation and curiosity.
"Have you two reconciled?"
Han Shengyi stood in the telephone room. After a second, he hummed briefly.
Knowing this, Chu Shao continued with a cold face, "Were you the one who apologized first?"
Han Shengyi was silent for a moment, "Yeah."
In fact, they didn't mention the question of who apologized to whom, but the first person to give in was Han Shengyi, so it makes no difference if he apologized first.
Chu Shao's expression softened slightly, but soon became tense again. "How are you two doing now?"
The more Han Shengyi listened, the more strange it seemed to him. He thought Chu Shao asked him to call so that he could criticize him and tell him not to quarrel with Chu Jiujiu in the future. But now it seemed that his question had another meaning.
Han Shengyi would try to ask others indirectly, but with Chu Shao, there was no need for so many tricks. Asking directly was the fastest way to get the answer.
"What do you mean by that?"
Chu Shao was stunned.
"You don't know what I mean?"
Han Shengyi asked back: "Why would I know what you mean?"
Chu Shao's heart suddenly thudded, as if he had been hit by a stone. It didn't hurt, but... it felt a little numb.
Could he have guessed wrong?!
Chu Shao had been ready for more than a week and wanted to confront Han Shengyi over the phone, but now he realized that he might have been wrong, and he actually got anxious.
"So you didn't mean that?!"
Chu Shao was very shocked.
Han Shengyi was confused for a moment, then he realized what he was talking about. He laughed and replied, "Oh, you mean that? No, that's what I meant."
Chu Shao: “…”
The soldiers who were listening and monitoring: "..."
If Chu Shao was not indeed of good origin, they would have suspected that he was leaking information.
This back-and-forth riddle had cooled Chu Shao's temper. He sat there speechless, as if he had been hit hard, and seemed to be at a loss for words. Han Shengyi was calmer. He said, "The main thing is... I didn't expect you to be able to tell that you weren't here, and your brain..."
Chu Shao scowled, "What's wrong with my brain?"
Han Shengyi: “…”
Han Shengyi chuckled softly. Feeling guilty, he didn't dare to contradict him at this moment, so he complimented him against his will, "Very good, very considerate and worldly-wise. Emotionally, he's always been so active, just like Jiujiu."
If it weren't for the last sentence, Chu Shao would probably have believed it.
"Don't say that nonsense. I'm telling you one thing. If I hear her cry because of you one more time, I'll go back and kill you even if it costs me my life."
Han Shengyi was stunned. "When did she cry?"
Chu Shao was almost mad at him.
"You don't even know this, are you a scoundrel?! You should do it when I'm not home! I wanted to give you a chance because you and Jiujiu are childhood sweethearts, but now it seems that I'd rather not! What's so good about you? You have no money, no job, you look troublesome, and you have such a bad personality. You don't even have any relatives who can come and visit you. Even in this situation, you still bully her, do you deserve it?"
Chu Shao and Han Shengyi were used to mocking each other, and now he was excited and spoke even more without thinking, probably because it was related to Chu Jiujiu. Although he didn't say it to others, he was actually reluctant in his heart.
Chu Jiujiu's first eighteen years were divided into three stages. She lived with her parents in the first stage, lived with the adults of both families in the third stage, and the shortest second stage belonged to Chu Shao alone.
It was he who brought the lonely Chu Jiujiu back home, it was he who worked silently for the two of them, and it was he who watched Chu Jiujiu grow up little by little, from a prickly child to the worry-free girl she is today.
Chu Jiujiu knew that she would get married sooner or later, but he always hoped that this day would come later. Unfortunately, his request conflicted with Han Shengyi, and with Han Shengyi, a sinister guy, around, his wish was doomed to fail.
Chu Shao felt unhappy with Han Shengyi, but he forced himself to endure it just for Chu Jiujiu's future happiness. What he said just now was the result of a rebound, and he accidentally said what was in his heart.
That's right, he really felt that Han Shengyi was not worthy of Chu Jiujiu.
What a coincidence! Han Shengyi thought so too.
…
"I know I'm not worthy of her." Han Shengyi said without any concern.
"I don't deserve her. I have many shortcomings, but no one in this world can treat her better than me. Even you can't compare to me."
Han Shengyi's tone was quite firm. Chu Shao was not convinced. He opened his mouth and wanted to scold him impulsively, but when he really opened his mouth, he found that he didn't know how to refute Han Shengyi.
There are many people who love Chu Jiujiu, and even more people who are good to her, but everyone has other things they care about. Chu Shao has Wen Xiuwei, Wen Xiuwei has Chu Shao, and only Han Shengyi cares about Chu Jiujiu.
Human nature can never stand the test, but some people have a tendency to be self-abuse and always come up with difficult questions that make people feel very painful, for example, if your mother and I fall into the water, who will you save first.
This question is very strange and makes people feel particularly absurd, but if the roles are reversed and Chu Shao is asked to ask himself, who would he choose between Wen Xiuwei and Chu Jiujiu?
He would probably scratch his head until it was bald and still not be able to make a decision.
It’s too difficult. Even if it’s not true, just thinking about it makes me feel painful.
But if the same question were asked of Han Shengyi, Wen Xiuwei and Chu Jiujiu? Choose Chu Jiujiu. Chu Shao and Chu Jiujiu? Choose Chu Jiujiu. Grandpa Han and Chu Jiujiu? Still choose Chu Jiujiu.
No matter who is on the other end of the scale, Han Shengyi has put his heart on Chu Jiujiu. Chu Jiujiu with this heart is like a thousand-pound weight, always heavy, making Han Shengyi unable to choose her.
He is selfish, bad, and has no principles, but it is these shortcomings that make everyone despise him that have shaped his current character and made him regard Chu Jiujiu as his whole world.
Thinking about it this way, he actually has another advantage - he doesn't ask for much.
He just wanted Chu Jiujiu to be in tune with him, to marry him. Even if they were married, he wouldn't be like some paranoid people who kept her at home and forced her to look at him. What he wanted was similar to his current college life: three meals a day, simple meals.
He didn't ask Chu Jiujiu to return such deep feelings for him because he knew she couldn't do it.
After all, Chu Jiujiu is just an ordinary person like Chu Shao. The only extraordinary person from beginning to end is Han Shengyi.
After hanging up the phone, Chu Shao still didn't leave. He sat on the chair with a complicated expression.
The soldier who was managing the phone nearby listened to the entire conversation. Later, Han Shengyi said a lot of sincere words to reassure Chu Shao. Even if he didn't understand at first, he gradually understood what they were talking about.
Patting Chu Shao on the shoulder, the soldier said to him sincerely when he turned around, "Hurry up and write a letter to your sister. This man is not a good person. If your sister marries him, what if he changes his mind in the future? Wouldn't her life be ruined?"
Everything is excessive. Han Shengyi is too caring and affectionate, to the point that it makes people feel uneasy.
Soldiers are always particularly sensitive to dangerous elements. This soldier is obviously an expert among them. He was able to vaguely discover Han Shengyi's true nature after just listening to one phone call.
Chu Shao looked at the soldier and was silent for a moment. He said, "No."
Soldier: "Huh?"
Chu Shao explained: "Han Shengyi won't do that. Everyone in the world will change their hearts, but he won't."
The soldier didn't expect that he actually trusted this man named Han Shengyi so much. After a few seconds of silence, he asked doubtfully, "Since you think he won't change his mind, why do you look like that? I thought you were worried about him."
I am indeed worried.
But I'm not worried about him, I'm worried about "her".
Chu Shao firmly believed that Han Shengyi would not change his mind, but...but as for Chu Jiujiu, that was hard to say!
He had never heard Han Shengyi say this before, so he didn't know how much he valued Chu Jiujiu. In his guess, if they could succeed, then they would succeed, but if they couldn't, the worst case scenario would be that they would die together. But now he realized that Han Shengyi's ideas were different from others.
His idea was that if it could be accomplished, it would be accomplished; if it couldn't be accomplished, it would be accomplished anyway. He never thought about what he would do if Chu Jiujiu didn't like him.
Chu Shao imagined it for him.
In an instant, he almost broke out in a cold sweat.
Chu Shao, the master of risk assessment, immediately thought of the most miserable situation. Chu Jiujiu would rather die than obey, and Han Shengyi was furious. He bided his time and took every step carefully. He first brought down the Chu family, then brought down Chu Jiujiu's husband's family, and then brought down the Wen family. Finally, Chu Jiujiu was isolated and helpless, and was locked in the house by him, never to come out again.
…
Who would have thought that Chu Shao, who had to pull his hair out every time he wrote an essay as a child, would be the perfect screenwriter for melodramatic TV dramas? Throw in a terminal illness and amnesia, and you have the ultimate classic, overbearing brother-in-law-falls-in-love story.
It sounds particularly funny, but Chu Shao is not exaggerating. With Han Shengyi's personality and character, he is capable of doing such things.
However, this is what will happen in the end. According to Chu Shao's guess, what is more likely to happen is that Chu Jiujiu would rather die than obey, and Han Shengyi will act pitifully, perhaps deliberately making himself look terrible, or deliberately making mistakes, being expelled from the university, and pretending that his mental world has collapsed. In short, no matter how miserable it is, he will show weakness to Chu Jiujiu at that time. Chu Jiujiu may still not agree to him, but she will definitely not leave him again.
Chu Jiujiu didn't know that she had become a high-risk person in Chu Shao's eyes. She didn't know that Chu Shao was thinking of writing a letter to subtly persuade her to reconsider her relationship with Han Shengyi.
Even Wen Xiuwei, who was far away in Qinghai, had heard about this incident. She sighed and was not surprised at all. After filming, she went to a local temple with other actors. She hadn't been to a temple in many years. Even though the Buddha statues here were different, Wen Xiuwei still worshiped devoutly.
I hope that God will bless these two people and make their relationship go more smoothly. I also hope that she and Chu Shao can be reunited as soon as possible and not be apart for so long.
Almost everyone hoped that they could be together, and they were very anxious to see them together. However, Chu Jiujiu, the person involved, only tasted a little bit of sweetness.
Everyone was almost worried to death, especially Grandma Han, whose mouth corners were ulcerated due to recent inflammation. When Chu Jiujiu came home and saw it, she was very surprised.
It’s winter now, why would I still get a sore throat?
She went to ask, but Grandma Han just looked at her subtly and didn't say a word. Chu Jiujiu didn't mind. She went home, got some necklace water and gave it to Grandma Han to drink. The next day, the corner of her mouth was healed.
The elderly are weak and sickly, and even if they drink a glass of wine occasionally, they will inevitably get some minor illnesses. At first, everyone wondered why Grandpa Han and Grandma Han always recovered from their illnesses so quickly. Later, everyone got used to it.
The old man is in good health. He couldn’t get up due to back pain the day before, but he could sit and play mahjong all day the next day. You can’t compare him, really you can’t compare him.
…
Han Shengyi never mentioned the person he liked again, and Chu Jiujiu never asked about it either. They both tacitly pretended that it had never happened. Han Shengyi didn't need to explain, as he knew who he liked best. It wasn't a big deal for him at all. But in Chu Jiujiu's heart, it was always a hidden danger.
Although she knew that she would have to face it sooner or later, Chu Jiujiu just wanted to imitate an ostrich and hide for as long as possible.
In mid-November, the heating was turned on. The country was piloting the installation of heating, and the university was on the first list. Chu Jiujiu was so moved that she almost cried when she enjoyed the warmth of heating for the first time in her life.
Is this what heating feels like? It works better than air conditioning and can even keep your socks toasty!
In the past, Chu Jiujiu would stay at home during the winter and hardly go out. She does the same now, but before she was afraid of the cold, but now she enjoys it.
When she is free, she would stay indoors for a moment longer and would never go out to freeze for a second. For example, now it is time for dinner, but Chu Jiujiu refuses to go downstairs. She stands outside the window and waits for Han Shengyi to come before she goes downstairs.
Chu Jiujiu glanced at her watch and found that it was almost time.
She finally had a watch, a military watch at that. It was not the one used by Chu Liqiang, but a brand new one that was sent by Chu Shao to be transported from the base through various layers.
There are too few watch styles nowadays, and Chu Jiujiu's watch is so unique that it attracted a lot of people's attention. Seeing her back that looked like a stone waiting for her husband, Cao Lu snorted coldly, wrapped herself in her coat, and went downstairs to buy food.
Cao Lu is becoming increasingly unpopular. After she discovered this, she didn't restrain herself, but instead ignored other people, not only in their dormitory, but also next door.
She now only hangs out with students from other classes, and she does quite well with them.
But still holding my breath.
That day she accidentally saw Han Shengyi and Chu Jiujiu playing together. She was sure that they were an underground couple and wanted to make it public that day, but then she thought, even if she did, what would it matter? They were just in a relationship, whether it was underground or above ground, it was not against the law.
After Cao Lu realized what was going on, she didn't tell anyone. Later, she observed again and found that no one really knew about it. Not only did no outsiders know about it, but even Chu Jiujiu, the person involved, seemed unaware of it.
Isn't that strange?
Cao Lu stared at Chu Jiujiu for a long time and finally vaguely discovered the truth. They were not in a secret relationship, but Han Shengyi did have a secret crush on Chu Jiujiu.
Now Cao Lu was even more afraid to expose the truth, because she was afraid that if she helped them expose it, Chu Jiujiu and Han Shengyi would be able to establish a romantic relationship that same day.
...It makes her angry just thinking about it. These two people have bullied her. She doesn't want to be their matchmaker!
After reaching the first floor, Cao Lu walked towards the cafeteria. By chance, she saw Han Shengyi walking towards her.
With a thought, Cao Lu glanced at the dormitory building behind him.
Chu Jiujiu stood by the window every day, but the range of her vision was limited. She had threatened Cao Lu so that she would not dare to talk to Han Shengyi again, but if she went to a place where she could not see her, she could not control her.
Moreover, Cao Lu was certain that Han Shengyi would not tell Chu Jiujiu about what they had talked about.
Secret admirers are all humble.
Thinking of this, Cao Lu immediately raised his head and walked straight towards Han Shengyi.
After looking at the surrounding trees and making sure Chu Jiujiu was out of sight, she immediately called out to Han Shengyi, who was walking towards her, "Wait."
Han Shengyi turned his head and frowned after just one look. He turned his head back and continued walking forward.
Cao Lu: "...Stop! I have something to ask you!"
Han Shengyi turned a deaf ear to him, and Cao Lu suddenly became anxious, "I saw you that day!"
Han Shengyi then stopped.
——
Chu Jiujiu stared eagerly from upstairs. Because she was hungry, she was particularly looking forward to Han Shengyi showing up earlier, as if responding to her thoughts. The next second, Han Shengyi really appeared in her sight. Even though only half of his body was visible, Chu Jiujiu recognized him. It was Han Shengyi.
But why didn't he move?
How did you go back?
Chu Jiujiu straightened up in a daze. She reacted in a second, quickly put on her cotton coat, and ran downstairs.
Han Shengyi was called by Cao Lu to the corner. This fork in the road led to the cafeteria on one side and the experimental field of the Agricultural Department on the other side, so there were few people there.
Cao Lu actually wanted to find a quieter place, but Han Shengyi's tolerance level was up to this point. If we went to a quieter place, he would not come again.
Probably because she couldn't get what she wanted, Cao Lu called him over. She originally wanted to ridicule him, but after she really opened her mouth, she said a lot of nonsense. Seeing that Han Shengyi was about to lose his patience, Cao Lu finally recalled Han Shengyi's bad attitude, and her face changed instantly.
Looking at Han Shengyi with contempt, she said, "I saw you that day."
She repeated it again, and Han Sheng hummed, "So?"
Cao Lu: "So, you two are not brother and sister at all. You are not brother and sister, but you insist on pretending to be brother and sister. You two are disgusting!"
Han Shengyi asked her seriously, "Are you here to get beaten?"
Cao Lu: “…”
She was frightened for a moment, then she thought, this is a campus. Although there are few people around, there are still people around. That's why Han Shengyi didn't dare to touch her. He was just trying to scare her.
Thinking of this, Cao Lu regained her courage. "I'm seeking justice from you! Back then, Chu Jiujiu abused her power and brought others to isolate me just because I spoke a few truths. What did I do wrong? Was what I said wrong? You two are just unclear about each other."
Han Shengyi deeply felt that being well-educated was not a good thing. He wanted to say, "It's none of your business." Nothing could more accurately summarize his thoughts than these four words.
Cao Lu didn't notice and continued, "Chu Jiujiu has made my life miserable in class. My college career should have been very smooth, but because of her, it's all ruined. She even threatened to expel me before. She hurt me so much, so it shouldn't be too much for you to compensate me, right?"
Cao Lu kept looking at him. Over the past few months, she had found out everything about Han Shengyi's family situation. It was said that his grandfather was a very high-ranking official. He often took Chu Jiujiu out to eat, and they couldn't eat every meal. They had to pack up several dishes to bring back. Cao Lu had seen those dishes many times, but because she had a bad relationship with Chu Jiujiu, she had never eaten them once.
It doesn't matter. As long as she gets compensation from Han Shengyi, she can eat out by herself.
Han Shengyi laughed, "Did you get sick as a child and your brain got burned out? Why should I compensate you?"
Cao Lu was stunned for a moment and asked him, "Don't you like Chu Jiujiu?"
Han Shengyi nodded. "Yeah, I don't like Chu Jiujiu, but do I like you?"
