Chapter 32 The Wind Comes (Bonus Chapter)
From their conversation, she could tell that Li Jinyue seemed to have ignored her boyfriend's advice and still submitted her application for postgraduate admission.
The boy continued to communicate in that seemingly calm but actually increasingly aggressive tone, and this time he even brought up his mother.
"I sincerely apologize to you for the time when my mother used my phone to reply to your messages without my permission."
Li Jinyue's tone was aggrieved and dissatisfied: "Your mother went too far! I only said that the family had the idea of arranging a marriage, I didn't say that I agreed! She suddenly came to me and said that you had many female classmates in college who were much more educated than me who pursued you. What does that mean?"
The boy immediately reassured her: "I'm sorry, that's just my level of understanding. I apologize on her behalf. We're both highly educated people, so if we can't understand each other, we don't need to pay attention to what she says."
Li Jinyue seemed to have been somewhat persuaded.
The boy pressed his advantage, his tone becoming even more sincere: "You know my mom, she's the eldest child in the family, and she suffered a lot when she was young. After I was born, she poured all the regrets of her childhood onto me, so she's been keeping a close eye on me. Yueyue, can you please be understanding?"
Li Jinyue seemed deflated, and said in a low voice, "It's not that I'm inconsiderate..."
Seeing this, the boy took her hand and began to paint a picture of their future: "I've thought about it. You shouldn't pursue a master's degree. I've applied for a PhD program, which will be very demanding, but I hope to see you as soon as I come home. After you graduate with your bachelor's, we'll..."
"Excuse me, gentlemen—" Ling Wei walked to their table with a smile, "Would you like a serving of our pulled noodles? We also have a wonderful performance!"
"No need," the boy said, somewhat annoyed at being interrupted, and then reorganized his thoughts, "Where was I?"
"We're having a promotion today, it's all free!"
The boy then looked up at her, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Oh, I see. Then I'll have one. I like it with more noodles."
After placing the order, Ling Wei told her colleague at the front desk, "Add an extra serving of pulled noodles to that table, and I'll pay for it."
By the time the noodles were served, the boy had already started talking about who would take care of the child in the future.
Ling Wei stepped forward with the dough in her hand: "Then I'll start my performance!"
The boy stopped, glanced at Ling Wei who was wearing a mask and hat, his gaze casually sweeping over her slender waist before nodding casually, "Mm."
Then, without making a sound, he took Li Jinyue's hand again, preparing to continue his plan.
"Yueyue, you need to understand, although I can find someone with a higher degree and from a better school than you..."
As Ling Wei deftly tore apart the dough, she sang: "~A degree isn't a thick city wall~ Hey ya~ Yi'er ya~~ Sincerity is stronger than gold~ Hey hey hey Yi'er ya~"
"But I probably won't find anyone I like the way I like you..."
"Oh dear! Don't mistake charity for kindness. That turtle only cares about whether it's a good match for a mung bean!"
“My mother is also looking forward to us settling down. She's getting old, and she's just hoping for that…”
Ling Wei tossed the noodles high into the air, as if she were dancing with flowing sleeves:
"Don't mention your mother! A good son has his own ideas! A loving mother and a filial son are a beautiful story, but a mother's status rising because of her son is... oh dear... it's an old sore!"
The boy finally lost his temper and glared at Ling Wei with furious eyes. Ling Wei, however, seemed oblivious, tossing the noodles around in a frenzy, and finally added some barely audible lyrics.
I like you because you deserve it!
You deserve it!
~Saying you like me while saying you're not good enough for me~
"That's not liking, it's..."
"Outrageous, despicable, and arrogant!!!"
Feeling insulted, the boy suddenly became furious and stood up abruptly: "What do you mean?!"
Ling Wei immediately bowed at a ninety-degree angle, her tone becoming extremely respectful: "Ah, I'm so sorry! Idol talent shows are so popular lately, and I also have a dream to pursue, so what I just sang was an impromptu performance!"
She straightened up and said seriously, "The song is called—"
"What should I use to manipulate you, my love?"
The boy was so angry that his face turned pale, and he immediately tried to drag Ling Wei to the manager to complain.
Li Jinyue tried to pull him back, but Ling Wei reacted quickly, picked up the bowl of unfinished pumpkin porridge on the table, and poured it all over the boy.
"Reading is meant to enlighten people, not to be used as a bargaining chip."
Then, she turned to the dumbfounded Li Jinyue and softened her tone: "Girl, you can understand seven or eight parts of his rhetoric by searching for PUA keywords online. I won't go into the other big principles, just one sentence: the point of life is to live life to the fullest! No matter who you are, whether you have money or a high level of education, you are not born to be picked and chosen by others."
Although people might call it hypocrisy or empty rhetoric these days, one must have ambition!
Despite saying that, when the manager rushed over, Ling Wei quickly slid down and knelt down to hug her leg:
"Manager! I'm just a kid from the countryside, but I dream of becoming a star! My grandma is waiting for me to become a big star and bring glory to the family! But he said my performance was awful, an insult to his ears, and that rats like me should go back to the sewers, boohoo..."
She added fuel to the fire, making the manager of Hai Li Lao, known for his excellent service, look at the boy covered in porridge stains with disapproval.
The boy panicked and hurriedly grabbed Li Jinyue: "Jinyue! Explain yourself! Tell her she's talking nonsense!"
Li Jinyue looked at Ling Wei, who was clinging to the manager's leg but secretly winking at her, and then at her exasperated boyfriend. She took a deep breath and calmly said, "I'm sorry, but I think your attitude towards the waiter is a bit scary. Let's break up."
Then the boy was struck dumb, unable to believe his ears, and without caring about Ling Wei, he chased after her.
Ling Wei didn't know what happened after that. After a while, she also resigned and joined a talent show.
Through the system, she learned that the person she had just spoken to was actually her biggest fan, "Wei Wei's pillar of support."
The evening breeze rushed in through the car window, gently lifting the girls' hair. Ling Wei leaned against the window, gazing at the lights flowing outside.
Wow, even her biggest fan has managed to finish her studies well and hasn't become obsessed with romance.
Ling Wei felt inexplicably better.
I started humming a song.
"Looks like the captain is in a really good mood." Zhao Xiaohe tilted her head and looked at Ling Wei's hair being blown by the wind, and couldn't help but smile.
Sha Jing tidied her short, wind-blown wolf-tail hair and softly replied, "Every time the captain hums this song, he's genuinely happy."
Lu Xiaoxiao leaned on Ling Wei's shoulder, her soft, long hair being tossed by the wind, carrying a faint fragrance: "Is it because you got first place?"
The night breeze continued to blow, carrying the warmth of early summer, scattering the girls' laughter into the night.
Ling Wei closed her eyes, feeling the touch of her hair dancing lightly in the wind, much like the lives of those who are spreading their wings.
