And he would never stay with Lu Yiming when he was poor and destitute.
"Sigh, it really proves the saying that very few girls are willing to grow up with a boy."
"Wow, this is huge! I think Lu Yiming will be the trending topic on Weibo again today."
"Waaaaah, Lu Yiming! I wasn't a fan of yours before, but now I declare that you are my god! For no other reason than that we've both been 'simps' at some point! [crying]"
...
After calming himself down, Lu Yiming continued:
"From that day onwards."
I will never actively pursue girls again.
I used to comfort myself, thinking that maybe it was just a matter of fate, or that my destined one hadn't appeared yet.
It's not that I'm bad.
I heard about her later.
She's being kept by a wealthy man from Shanghai, who gives her 100,000 yuan a month.
Lu Yiming chuckled self-deprecatingly as he said this.
"At the time, I thought, 'They're really rich, they're willing to pay 100,000 yuan a month.'"
I'm poor; my monthly living expenses are only a little over a thousand yuan.
No wonder they look down on me.
"For a period of time, I was deeply insecure."
"I often go for a walk alone, feeling lost and disoriented, and then I see couples everywhere on campus, especially along the river."
That made me feel even worse.
Actually, I'm not in a rush to find a partner.
I just felt like my whole being was rejected, like I was terrible.
I come from an ordinary family and have an average background; no girl would be interested in someone like me.
I just sat there on a bench in the schoolyard for the rest of the time.
"Sigh, Lu Yiming, the Casanova. I thought that woman was so high and mighty, but she's just a gold-digging piece of trash!"
"Hey upstairs, can you watch your mouth? She's just pursuing her own happiness, is that wrong? Does she have to marry a simp to be considered right?"
"Oh right, you call being kept a mistress happiness, right? Some women don't care even if they become mistresses, as long as they can get money every month, right?"
"Heh, I don't even want to talk about you guys. We were just saying that girl is sick, why are you all making a fuss? Is she your own mother or something?"
"Let's stick to the facts and stop making a mountain out of a molehill. If you want to fight, go fight somewhere else!"
...
"At that time, there was a stray cat at our school."
Seeing that I looked uncomfortable, it came over and nuzzled against me.
It kept rubbing against me, and I cried.
I don't know how to describe that feeling.
It's like I'm needed.
Someone cares about my feelings.
Did you know that?
Even small animals.
It cares about me.
It's willing to stay with me.
Lu Yiming's eyes reddened slightly as he spoke.
As Mu Xia watched Lu Yiming's scene, she was filled with an indescribable feeling, as if something within her had been touched.
So even a chairman of the board has moments of helplessness?
"I often went to that place after that."
I always bring some food and water with me.
Then, after watching it devour its food, I stroked its little head.
This continued for a long time.
Just like our bond.
I also plan to take it with me when I leave school after graduation.
I'll find a job, and I'll take care of it.
"But then one day..."
I can't find it.
I searched the entire campus like a madman.
I searched and searched, but I couldn't find a trace of it.
I searched for two whole weeks.
Every day I think, maybe it's just temporarily lost and will come back soon.
"But no matter how hard I try, I can't find it."
I eventually had to admit that it was missing.
Maybe he died, or maybe he left the school.
For whatever reason, I never saw it again.
"The reason I was so agitated just now is..."
It's because I think I saw that figure in the grass.
Same fur color, same pupils, same look in their eyes.
I will never forget it.
"But just like before, I still couldn't catch it this time."
It still left.
Mu Xia gently patted Lu Yiming's back and comforted him softly:
"Chairman, kittens also have their own destiny."
Perhaps they simply prefer freedom.
I believe the chairman's intentions were good.
But what if they don't want to go with you?
They have their own cat lives too, don't they?
Lu Yiming was touched by Mu Xia's words.
He looked up in disbelief, staring into Mu Xia's eyes.
At that moment, he seemed to find peace.
I've come to terms with missing out on such a sweet and caring person.
I had even told my close friends about it before.
Friends would at most say, "What a pity, what a shame, maybe we weren't meant to be."
But Mu Xia's explanation today seemed to have opened a brand new door for Lu Yiming.
That's just how it is sometimes.
People are often prone to having unresolved issues.
If a knot in your heart is left untied for too long, it will become a mental illness.
This is why people are often trapped for life by things they cannot obtain in their youth.
Lu Yiming is the same.
He had regretted countless times why he hadn't marked the kitten.
Or you could just rent a place off-campus, even a small one, and get a job, then you could afford to keep the kitten.
