Chapter 70
"Writing you a love letter?"
"have."
But he never accepted it. If he accepted it and then tore it up, he would feel disrespectful to the other party. If he didn't tear it up and put it away, it would be difficult to store. Secondly, if it was lost, it would be somewhat devastating to the person involved.
"Come into your class to ask you questions?"
"have."
At first he would talk seriously, but later when he realized that the other party's attention was not on the book at all, he refused to listen.
"I said I didn't bring my meal card with me in the cafeteria and asked you for help?"
"have."
But he calculates the meal card money accurately every month. If he needs to recharge it a second time because he helps others get meals, then there will be an amount of money that can never be used up next month.
This made him very uncomfortable.
Jiang Zhinian was completely convinced. It seemed that all his evil ideas were useless in front of Shi Ye in high school.
Shi Ye waited until she finished asking before saying, "But I don't think this behavior is a pursuit based on your love for me."
"Hmm?" Jiang Zhinian was puzzled.
"When I was in college, there was a girl in my class who was very proactive in contacting me when we first met. But after a few times, the contact became less and less frequent. Then one day, I overheard her complaining about me to others, saying that people like me were not worth wasting time on."
When Shi Ye said this, his tone was calm, without any dissatisfaction or emotional fluctuations.
Jiang Zhinian felt a little distressed: "Why did she say that to you..."
"I think what she said is right, and from her words I realized that this is how most of the opposite sex really like me."
He doesn't think there is anything about himself that is worthy of being liked by others.
He is dull and uninteresting, and his life is even more dull. The girls around him who get to know him for various reasons always say that he is "difficult to get along with", while the boys say "you are too boring".
However, those likes based on good looks are illusory and fragile. Once there is a chance to get in touch and understand, the "white moonlight" filter brought by the person who confessed his love will shatter by itself and turn into a grain of rice from last night.
He turned to look at Jiang Zhinian, his tone serious: "It's just that some people are mature and can understand it in time, while some people... are obsessed with it and never understand it."
In fact, what many people like are the settings in their own minds and the emotions they pour into them. It doesn’t matter whether that specific person is the real Shi Ye. It’s just a container used to hold certain emotions.
Once you get close, this divine veil will be lifted, revealing the unbearable truth within.
Therefore, when Shi Ye faced this kind of feeling in the past, the most direct way to deal with it was not to give the other party a chance to express his feelings.
Jiang Zhinian's heart moved, and looking at Shi Ye's profile, he seemed to understand something.
…
Around 8 o'clock in the evening on the second day of the Lunar New Year, after the two returned home after paying New Year's greetings, Shi Ye received a call from Wang Bo.
"What's wrong?"
Jiang Zhinian came out of the shower and saw Shi Ye putting on his coat.
"Something happened to Wang Bo. I need to go out for a while and will be back before 10 pm."
The place they met was a barbecue stall in front of the old high school. There were people smoking and drinking there, so it wasn't a good place to take Jiang Zhinian.
Jiang Zhinian said "OK" and asked him to be careful on the road.
Shi Ye hurried out and arrived at the agreed place.
Wang Bo had already had a round of drinks and was fighting with Jiang Tao for the remaining half bottle of wine. When he saw Shi Ye coming through his drunken eyes, he let go of the bottle and knocked Jiang Tao to his butt.
"Hey buddy, if you let go, at least make a sound."
Zhou Hongsheng hurried to help him, but his eyes were between Shi Ye and Wang Bo, with some worry in his eyes.
Shi Ye put his hands in his coat pockets, stood quietly for a while, and suddenly tilted his head.
"Can you still climb over the wall?"
The wall he was talking about was a low wall in their school playground. There was a crooked tree there, and no one knew if it was naturally crooked or was stepped on by countless warriors.
In short, it benefits the people and has immeasurable merits.
The four of them climbed into the school playground with the same agility as before. Shi Ye put on his coat and walked in front. Wang Bo stared at his back and suddenly spoke.
"You know it."
"Now I know."
Yuan Miaomiao once gave him a love letter, but he confiscated it and had no memory of it afterwards.
He only noticed some strange glances during the occasional dinners over the years. He was a person who was not sensitive to emotions, whether his own or others'.
If Jiang Zhinian had not been involved some time ago, he would not have realized the abnormality at all.
"Then you have nothing to say to me?"
"Yes." Shi Ye turned around and looked at Wang Bo seriously, "Your emotional dispute has nothing to do with me. Don't get me involved."
"It has nothing to do with you?!" Wang Bo rushed to Shi Ye angrily and grabbed Shi Ye's collar. "Miao Miao kept the love letter she wrote to you intact for seven years. Do you know what this means?"
Today is the second day of the Chinese New Year. He went to Miaomiao's house to pay New Year's greetings and wanted to discuss marriage.
As a result, he accidentally found a well-preserved love letter written to Shi Ye in a tin box in the drawer of her study.
He understood it then. No wonder Miaomiao had paid special attention to Shi Ye over the years, and no wonder she hesitated and made excuses every time he proposed marriage.
"You, it's all you..."
Wang Bo was about to shout when Shi Ye took the few remaining beer bottles from Jiang Tao's hand and poured them directly on Wang Bo's forehead.
Wang Bo felt a chill running down his spine in an instant.
Shi Ye took off the scarf from around his neck and threw it on his forehead.
"Have you calmed down?"
Zhou Hongsheng quickly used a scarf to wipe the beer off Wang Bo's forehead.
"I'm not interested in other people's emotional disputes. You're all adults. Think clearly about your own feelings. If you can get married, get married. If you can't, find someone else."
Wang Bo covered his head in pain and squatted on the ground: "It's not as easy as you say. 7 years, 7 years of my relationship. I'm not a robot, how can I just break up like that?"
Shi Ye walked up to him and squatted down: "How do you think you are inferior to me?"
Wang Bo raised his head and said unconvincedly, "Except for my face, how else am I inferior to you?"
Shi Ye reminded him, "Your college entrance exam score is lower than mine. Don't think that the past seven years can blur the facts."
"You..." Wang Bo's anger gauge, which had been tense all night, was instantly emptied.
Shi Ye stood up and looked down at him: "Since you are so confident, why do you think that your girlfriend, who you have been in love with day and night for seven years, would like me and not you?"
Wang Bo was speechless for a moment.
Everything that happened with Miaomiao over the past seven years slowly emerged in my mind.
They travel together, live together, sometimes quarrel, but make up quickly. They are the sunshine in each other's pain and the first person they want to share their joy.
Shi Ye clapped his hands and said in a dissatisfied tone, "Read more books if you have nothing to do. Have you read the love guide book I recommended to you last time?"
