Chapter 58 Chapter 58 Master of Keeping Balance
Spring rain always comes unexpectedly. That night, when Zhou Yuhe was escorted by a group of people to the nanny car, Li Jinglang was still standing under the corridor to avoid the rain. The wind blew the raindrops onto his body. Although they were not enough to wet his clothes, they were enough to make him uncomfortable for a while.
The auditorium was only a few dozen meters away from a convenience store on campus, which sold all kinds of umbrellas. Li Jinglang still returned to the dormitory in the rain, as if this would make him feel better.
Ouyang Che was called away by Tao Yun halfway through and didn't even finish the final group photo. Li Jinglang, on the other hand, was there from beginning to end and ended up like this.
Li Jinglang didn't know if it was because of the spring rain or because he was stuffy in the auditorium, but he felt groggy all over. He fell on the bed as soon as he entered the dormitory. He had always had a restless sleep, and that day it was like he had been whipped several times. When he opened his eyes in a half-awake state, his body was sore and painful.
There were no lights on in the dormitory, and no one was there. It was extremely quiet, and this atmosphere actually made him feel a little uneasy.
Li Jinglang took out the mobile phone from under the pillow and checked the time. It was exactly ten o'clock in the evening. He had only slept for two hours. There was still a long time to go in the night and it would take a long time before dawn.
He dropped his arms weakly, and the cell phone fell heavily on the bed. Li Jinglang rested his forearm on his forehead and remained still for a while, then he exhaled deeply. The flow factors in the air were slow and lacked power.
Tang Ningyue didn't make a single phone call or say a single word the entire day, but she did have time to like Xu Qingye's post on WeChat Moments.
She always takes care of so many people, but doesn't leave even a little time for him.
Li Jinglang suddenly felt wronged. He turned over and stared at the wall, taking two deep breaths, but it still didn't help him feel worse.
Unable to hold back, he called Tang Ningyue first. The person on the other end picked up the call immediately, and from her tone, she seemed to be in a good mood.
"Hello? Kyoro?"
Her voice was still the same, soft and intimate, as if the two of them had been inseparable for a long time.
Hearing her voice, Li Jinglang felt even more uncomfortable, his nose felt sore, and he thought of what Zhou Yuhe said in the afternoon. He subconsciously grabbed the bed sheet tightly with one hand, and the veins on his arm bulged.
If it were someone else, Li Jinglang would not let him go easily. He would definitely expose all his misdeeds and teach him a lesson.
But this person is Zhou Yuhe. No matter how much Li Jinglang investigates him and understands him, he will not act rashly. He does not want to implicate Tang Ningyue, and he does not want everyone to know that Tang Ningyue has a relationship with Zhou Yuhe.
But the fact was that their so-called fiancée-fiancée title had already been publicized, and even when searching for gossip, their names were indispensable. Next to Tang Ningyue's name was another man's name, and Li Jinglang was naturally furious.
Feeling both hateful and uncomfortable, Li Jinglang felt mixed emotions when he heard Tang Ningyue's voice. He wished he could skin Zhou Yuhe alive and cut him into pieces.
He wanted her to be his, wanted only he to hear such sounds, wanted only he to see her in bed...
Why should Zhou Yuhe come to share? Li Jinglang has never hated anyone to this extent in his life.
"Jinglang? Why aren't you talking?"
Tang Ningyue's voice came in again. Every time he heard her voice, Li Jinglang could calm down for a while.
“.....”
But the person on the other end was still depressed, and only the sound of heavy breathing could be heard from the receiver.
"What's wrong?" Tang Ningyue seemed to have more patience with him. She sounded really happy today. "Are you unhappy living in school?"
"...What are you doing?"
After a long silence, Li Jinglang finally spoke.
He doesn't know how to chat, let alone say hypocritical sweet words. He only speaks the truth and what he really means. So even when flirting with her, Li Jinglang doesn't know how to open his mouth, and the words he says are always so stiff.
"Just tell me if you miss me." Tang Ningyue was more capable than him and saw through his thoughts in one go.
"It's no use saying it."
His voice sounded hoarse and he didn't look happy.
"Have you tried it?"
Tang Ningyue would not let him go easily and would always force him to do something before she was satisfied.
“.....”
After a few seconds of silence, Li Jinglang finally said, "I miss you."
"I want to see you."
Tang Ningyue chuckled with satisfaction. It was very quiet around her. She probably didn't go to the party. Maybe she was at home now. Li Jinglang had already thought about going out to find her.
"It's too slow, it's ineffective."
“....”
She just wanted to bully him.
Li Jinglang held the cell phone in his hand, turned over and sat up on the bed. Some thoughts came to his mind and he could no longer take them back.
"Where are you?"
"what?"
Tang Ningyue avoided the question, and Li Jinglang suddenly felt uneasy.
"Are you home?"
"Can I come to you?"
Li Jinglang followed up with the next sentence, as if he was afraid that she would not agree.
"Can we meet downstairs?"
"It's fine to go to the same place as last time..."
"I'll leave right after we meet, okay?"
Li Jinglang couldn't control his tone when talking to her. His voice became aggrieved and pleading one after another, just like a puppy always wagging its tail. It was physiological and uncontrollable.
The person on the other end paused, and his laughter sounded a little fake. "It's only been a day."
"Two days."
Li Jinglang remembers it clearly.
He hadn't seen her since he said he was leaving, and even the way she sent him away was just a phone call.
"Are you annoying me?"
"No."
Whenever Tang Ningyue refused or hesitated, Li Jinglang would start to doubt himself and overthink things until he reached the point of death.
".....I was out today." She added, "I just took Zhaoming out for a day, and we..."
"I'm not feeling well." Li Jinglang interrupted her, then took a deep breath, supported his knees with his arms, and lowered his head weakly. Only the hand that was making the phone call still had the strength to support him.
"Can I ask someone to take you to see a doctor?"
Even though she knew he didn't mean it, she still did it.
“....”
Li Jinglang's eyes were half red, and the grievances surged up without any warning. When he confronted Zhou Yuhe in the afternoon, he felt nothing but hatred. Now, after she said something neither too light nor too heavy, he could no longer hold on.
"I hate you, Tang Ningyue." Li Jinglang's tone suddenly changed, and his nose seemed to be covered with a layer of cotton. "Don't do this to me..."
"Tang Ningyue...why are you bullying me..."
-
Tang Ningyue finally compromised. She hurriedly said goodbye to Zhou Yuhe and came down from the hotel. She found a store that was still open, ordered some midnight snacks, and sat down to wait for Li Jinglang.
She hadn't planned to meet Zhou Yuhe today. She and Wen Xi had been shopping with Tang Zhaoming all day and were really tired. They were planning to go back to sleep when Zhou Yuhe called and told her he had bought her a gift and asked her to come down. He also wore a suit custom-made by her favorite designer.
How could the demon Tang Ningyue resist Tang Seng's enlightenment? She got into the car with him in a few seconds, and stared at him all the way, making him red from his ears to his neck.
While Zhou Yuhe was taking a shower, she received a call from Li Jinglang. The man on the other end of the line acted coquettishly and pitifully, but Tang Ningyue still coaxed him. She seemed to prefer him more, otherwise why would she come down to meet him even though the situation was so critical.
Do you like it? I think I do.
But when Zhou Yuhe came to seduce her, she agreed.
But when asked to choose one today, she chose Li Jinglang again.
She held this difficult bowl of water steady. If she didn't play the role of a bad woman, who else would?
When Li Jinglang arrived, Tang Ningyue was still sending messages to Zhou Yuhe, asking him to wait a little longer, saying that they would coax the person away soon.
Zhou Yuhe didn't say anything in the end. He just sent a 'sad' emoticon that comes with WeChat. His little yellow face had drooped eyelids. There was no need to say anything more.
Li Jinglang burst into tears when he saw Tang Ningyue. He buried his head in her neck without saying a word, and tears fell like crazy. Tang Ningyue patted his back while holding her phone behind him and replied to Zhou Yuhe's message.
"Why are you crying?" Tang Ningyue placed her phone on the table, holding his face with both hands and staring into his eyes. "What's wrong?"
She is usually a very proud person, but I don't know where she got so many tears from. She cried all the tears that she hadn't shed before in front of her.
“.....”
Li Jinglang didn't say a word, just hugged her, crying silently, almost suffocating himself.
"Are you unhappy at school?" Tang Ningyue asked him.
"No."
After hesitating for a few seconds, Li Jinglang still said nothing.
It's no use saying it, she will definitely say that he is stingy and intolerant. In short, she will definitely find all kinds of excuses for Zhou Yuhe as long as she doesn't want to break up with him completely.
"Then why are you crying?"
"My eyes hurt."
He bit his lips hard, forcing himself not to cry.
“.....”
There is no one in this world more stubborn than Li Jinglang.
"Then let's eat something first." Tang Ningyue pushed the crab cake in front of her towards him, "Okay?"
"I'm not hungry," he said again.
"So what do you want to do?"
It was already Tang Ningyue's kindness to coax him twice, she had no patience for anything else.
“....”
Li Jinglang came out of her arms silently and stared at her quietly for a while. Tang Ningyue felt guilty when she saw him looking at her, so she picked up a piece of crab cake, took a bite, and looked away.
Just now he looked so pitiful and unwanted, but now his expression has changed so much that it made her scalp tingle.
I don't know what I did to offend this little bastard...
It's really hard to coax him.
"Have you met Zhou Yuhe?"
Out of the blue, he suddenly said this.
Li Jinglang's eyes were dark, with red at the corners, and he stared at her intently. Tang Ningyue suddenly felt a chill on her back.
"What are you talking about?"
Tang Ningyue lowered her head and refused to admit it, wanting to avoid the topic.
"....." Li Jinglang suddenly sneered, leaned back in his chair and stared at her profile as she lowered her head to eat, and rubbed her collarbone twice with his hand.
"I smelled this scent on you this afternoon."
His voice was so deep that it made people's hair stand on end.
"Tang Ningyue, why are you so careless every time?"
"You're so perfunctory even when lying to me?"
"Have you ever cared about me?"
