Chapter 65 Chapter 65 Take Back What You Can't Wait For
After moving into the dormitory, Li Jinglang moved completely into the school. He didn't want to go home and didn't want to see the empty room. The feeling of panic and tension seemed to never dissipate.
The scene of him shouting at the top of his lungs to keep her that day always appeared in his dreams. He would wake up in a cold sweat in the middle of the night, but even so, he couldn't keep her.
During the time he was locked up in the hospital, Li Jinglang was inexplicably cooperative with the treatment, which even surprised Zhou Su. He took his medicine and meals without hesitation, and even took the initiative to ask for a walk outside to relax.
Zhou Su could see that he was waiting for the day to get out.
Just like the hopeless prison sentence, I stared at the empty ceiling and waited for too long.
The day before he was discharged from the hospital, Zhou Su and Li Jinglang had a long talk all night. Zhou Su was worried that he would go to Nancy after he was discharged from the hospital, and she was also afraid that he would make an impulsive decision and that something would happen to him. Similarly, she was even more worried about Tang Ningyue.
But Li Jinglang remained silent that day and didn't want to say anything. In the end, he only said one sentence: I just want to go back to school.
Zhou Su took a two-week leave to stay at home with him, but Li Jinglang insisted on living on campus to escape her sight. Fortunately, he was quite obedient and studied in class. The only time he went out was to participate in a competition. He was well-behaved and did not do anything out of line.
But her troublesome son was like a time bomb, and Zhou Su couldn't feel at ease.
Li Jinglang lived peacefully in school for nearly half a month. He went to and from school every day, often frequenting the school library. Even the confession wall on campus became lively.
Because of the internship, only Li Jinglang and Ouyang Che remained in the dormitory. Ouyang Che used his internship at Tao Yun's company as an excuse to work intermittently just to find opportunities to meet her privately. However, recently, due to the divorce lawsuit between Tao Yun and her husband, Ouyang Che had not visited her for a long time.
As for Li Jinglang, he hasn't made up his mind yet.
I don’t know why, but it seems that wherever he goes, people there will leave, even the school dormitory is no exception. It’s no wonder that he always thinks too much.
A few days ago, he submitted his resume to several companies in Bac Ninh and received offers from companies he was satisfied with, but he was still hesitant and his eyes were always looking towards Nancy.
He submitted his resume and received an interview invitation, but he didn't dare to go, as if he had lost his courage.
He was like a deflated ball.
There was no light on in the dormitory. It had just rained outside and it was still cloudy. The dormitory was stuffy. Li Jinglang got up to open the window and half-opened the door to let in some air. As soon as he opened the door, Ouyang Che came back with a cheerful face.
Probably because he had just come back from a date, there was still a bright red mark on his neck.
"You're here." Ouyang Che smiled, opened the door, and handed the lunch box to Li Jinglang. "I brought some pork trotter rice. Tao Yun had someone queue up for an entire afternoon to buy it."
The pork trotter rice is still hot, and I can smell its greasy aroma through the lunch box.
"Why are you back?"
Li Jinglang drooped his eyelids and looked listless.
"Aren't you feeling down and not eating?" Ouyang Che saw the opportunity to mock him. "I'm afraid you'll starve to death."
"Thank you." Li Jinglang curled his lips and accepted his kindness.
Li Jinglang didn't know when the two of them had developed a relationship to the point where they brought each other meals.
He never touched this kind of greasy food before. Perhaps if he accepted others, they would accept everything about him, just like he was willing to be abused by Tang Ningyue.
"Any progress on your end?"
Ouyang Che gulped down half a bottle of water, pulled over a chair and sat opposite Li Jinglang.
"No." He shook his head and ate the meal by himself without tasting anything.
"No?" Ouyang Che refused to believe it. Ever since Li Jinglang's award-receiving video became popular, he had designed various online accounts to create a persona for Li Jinglang. The video also became a little popular, and it also involved Duan Jiayu. He didn't believe that Tang Ningyue didn't see it.
"That's impossible! Aren't media professionals like them always keeping up with current events? How could they not see it?"
These words were like a stab in Li Jinglang's heart. Tang Ningyue could of course see it, but it only meant that she didn't want to see it or care about it.
“.....”
Li Jinglang lowered his eyes, sighed softly, and said weakly, "She doesn't like me anymore."
He threw the spoon into the lunch box and couldn't eat anymore.
"Hey, hey, hey...don't give up so quickly, will you?" Ouyang Che patted his shoulder. "Rich kids like you have never experienced hardship and give up so easily."
Li Jinglang touched the box of the airplane model on the table. It was cold and had his name printed on it. It was specially customized by Tang Ningyue at that time.
He stared blankly, thinking for a long time before lowering his head and speaking: "If Tao Yun's husband came to find you, would you give up?"
Li Jinglang suddenly asked this question out of the blue.
"I...I, why are you involving me? Isn't this about you?" Ouyang Che's eyes began to wander, a little at a loss.
When people give advice to others, everything is fine, but once the matter falls on themselves, they lose everything.
“…”
"I don't know what to do..." Li Jinglang shook his head, "I really have no other choice."
He rarely looked so vulnerable. Usually, the two of them were at loggerheads with each other. Seeing him like this, Ouyang Che actually felt a little uncomfortable.
Maybe it's empathy.
"There's still a chance, do you want to try?"
"What?"
Li Jinglang pursed his lips. He didn't know what chance he had.
"Tao Yun will attend Tang Ningyue's engagement party early next month."
“....”
Li Jinglang clenched his palms, feeling a bit breathless. He had seen the news about the engagement party on the news a long time ago. He had also asked Zhou Su indirectly before, but she hadn't said anything. He knew he had no chance. Everyone was on her side...
"You're going with her?"
“…”
Ouyang Che chuckled and leaned back in his chair, tilting his head back and shielding his eyes from the overhead light with his hands.
"How can I be qualified?"
“.....”
The dormitory fell silent in an instant. In the small room, both of them were silent, at a loss as to what to do.
No, none of them are qualified.
"Ouyang Che."
"Um?"
"Are you giving in?"
"How is that possible?" Ouyang Che sneered, "She's getting divorced soon, I'll wait a little longer..."
"......Um."
Li Jinglang responded in a muffled voice.
“Wait a little longer…”
"Ouyang Che." Li Jinglang suddenly turned to him seriously.
"What?" Ouyang Che was startled by his serious expression.
Li Jinglang's palms were clenched red from his own fists, and even his breath was heavy.
"I can't wait any longer."
"I can't wait a moment."
