☆, Chapter 73
This was a self-study class. Xiu Yangui had just woken up and stretched his aching neck when he saw Chen Nianyu's distorted expression. "Anian, what's wrong with you?"
Chen Nianyu held up his phone, which was filled with messages from others. It looked densely packed. "Do you still remember Le Duo? She's the girl who played with us a few days ago."
Xiu Yangui thought for a moment and said, "I remember."
"She and her boyfriend, Yaleduo, ended their relationship and changed their names. Then I asked about it, and Yaleduo said they broke up. Now she's sending me a voice message crying."
Why is she crying? Isn't this something she made up herself?
Xiu Yangui had no sympathy for Le Duo's heartbreak, "And then?"
Chen Nianyu didn’t know what to do. Le Duo was crying so hard that she was crying while sending him voice messages. She was still sending messages and crying.
"Oh, what should I do? She's crying so hard."
Xiu Yangui couldn't understand Le Duo's self-inflicted actions, "Why is she crying? Didn't she say it was just for fun? Now that they've broken up, won't she be more playful?"
"Oh, no, no, there's a reason for that." Chen Nianyu knew more and explained for Le Duo: "She was just saying that out of anger at that time."
"She actually likes her boyfriend very much, but she just says some weird things."
"Hmm?" Xiu Yangui became increasingly confused as he listened. "Why?"
Chen Nianyu didn't really understand it either, so she could only repeat what she knew: "Le Duo is a sophomore in high school, just like us, and so is her boyfriend."
"She said that she and her boyfriend have been together for a long time, since they were in the eighth grade of junior high school. However, it didn't seem to be a formal relationship. Le Duo just jokingly asked if they wanted to be together, and Yang Le Duo also jokingly agreed."
"I don't really understand it either. Anyway, that's how they were. They were kind of a couple. Later, they didn't get into the same high school and lived on campus, so they could only communicate through their phones."
"Then, as time went on, the two of them grew distant. I don't know what she was thinking, but she just wanted to provoke her boyfriend and see how he would react."
"Although it's exciting, she really likes her boyfriend."
"What do you call this? What is she doing this for?"
Chen Nianyu didn't understand what was said, but Xiu Yangui already understood and sighed, "For a sense of security."
"What sense of security?"
Xiu Yangui sat up, leaned back in his chair, and spoke slowly, as if he had experienced many vicissitudes of life: "She is a coward."
"We're so far away, so unfamiliar, and afraid of losing that person, so we can only test it out."
Chen Nianyu still didn't understand. "Yes, test and stimulate the other party, and then what?"
Xiu Yangui sighed again, "If the other person is jealous, it means that he or she cares about me, and then I will feel at ease."
Chen Nianyu understood, but not completely.
"If she's afraid, she shouldn't provoke others in this way. It's so disheartening. Isn't this just draining the other person's feelings?"
"Isn't this just pushing the person you like further away?"
"Wouldn't it be better to express your thoughts directly?"
Xiu Yangui remained silent as if he had been taught a lesson.
Chen Nianyu felt that what he said made sense, and he had to let Le Duo understand this. "No, I'll go talk to her."
"I think they can still be together. Let her go and apologize to Yakult, and then confess her feelings. It will still be a happy ending, right, Ayan?"
Xiu Yan Gui was still silent, as if his soul had left his body and flew away to who knows where. Chen Nianyu directly called Le Duo, and when the call was connected, he could hear Le Duo crying.
"Hey, hey, Feather, woo woo woo."
"Leduo, don't cry. I'll show you a way out. Now, go and apologize to Yakult immediately, and then tell him that you love him very much, and then..."
Le Duo interrupted Chen Nianyu in a panic: "I don't want to wuwuwuwu, I won't say it! I can't say it!"
"Why can't you say it? If you like someone, you have to be brave enough to say it out loud. How would he know if you don't tell him?"
Chen Nianyu coaxed him, "You can tell me, why can't you tell him?"
"Think about it, he only sees you laughing and joking with other boys, so he must think you don't like him anymore. He must be disappointed and sad. If you apologize to him and tell him what you really think, won't the misunderstanding be resolved?"
Ultimately, it is the difference in people's thinking. Chen Nianyu and Xi Mo are the same type of people. Although they are slow, they can face their own hearts and be brave and frank.
Le Duo and Xiu Yangui are of the same type of people.
"Feather, you don't understand. I can tell you, but I can't say it to him."
"If I say it out loud, I will lose."
Chen Nianyu was confused. What does love have to do with winning or losing? It's not a competition.
Le Duo cried bitterly, "They say the one who says love first is the loser. I don't want to be the one who takes the initiative to speak up. Why should I be the one to do that?"
"Why can't he come to me! I don't want to go to him!"
"I hate him so much! Why can't he take the initiative first!"
Le Duo became more and more excited, crying and shouting. Chen Nianyu was at a loss, "Okay, okay, calm down, calm down."
"Then let's try a different approach. Let's hold off. Maybe after a few days he'll come to his senses and come back to get back together with you."
Le Duo couldn't calm down and broke down, unable to stop, "Wow, we won't get back together! We're broken up completely! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa."
"He's not angry anymore. He's not angry at all! No matter what I do, he won't be angry."
"He used to get angry and jealous and come to me, but he doesn't do that anymore."
"No matter how much I make a fuss, he doesn't care. He doesn't like me anymore! Woo woo woo."
Chen Nianyu's tone also dropped, "...How could that be? He must still like you..."
The speaker cries, and the listener feels sad.
Xiu Yangui, an outsider, was also dejected. He lay back on the table, leaving only his furry head exposed, and buried his face in his arms. Although he had thought that the couple would eventually break up, now that they really broke up, he could not feel the same emotion as a spectator, but only empathy as if he were there himself.
He had treated Xi Mo like this before. He pretended to be friendly with others, laughing and joking around, trying to get Xi Mo's attention. It would be even better if Xi Mo could come to him angrily.
Looking back now, I feel even more ridiculous how ridiculous I was back then. He was just like Le Duo, neither honest nor straightforward, stubborn and arrogant, awkward, and unable to bring himself to make peace or ask for love. He was a coward.
Le Duo lost her Yakult, but he couldn't lose Xi Mo.
He wants to change!
Xiu Yangui sat up again. Chen Nianyu was still comforting Le Duo in a lost mood. He has always been a child with strong empathy. When he sees others sad, he will be sad too. Now he is almost crying with Le Duo.
Xiu Yangui patted Chen Nianyu's shoulder soothingly and took the phone. "Hello, Leduo."
"Who are you, woooo."
"Don't worry about who I am. You like your...ex, right?"
The word "ex" once again deeply hurt Leduo's little heart, "Wow, I like him! I like him so much! He's my favorite person! Wow."
"OK, listen to me, I can completely understand what you did and said before, because I am in the same situation as you."
"I'm stubborn, I care about my reputation, I don't dare to face my feelings, I'm hesitant and pretentious, but I'm going to change."
"If I do, I hope I can be your role model, and then you can learn from me and keep the person you love by your side."
Perhaps the seriousness and determination in Xiu Yangui's tone inspired Le Duo, and her crying gradually subsided. "Really? That would be great. How are you going to do it?"
"I want to confess my feelings. If I succeed, I hope it can help you."
Le Duo gradually recovered and said, "If you fail, it will inspire me..."
"I will not fail."
Although Xiu Yangui shouldn't be so confident, he is so confident because this confidence was given to him by Xi Mo.
"well."
Le Duo had stopped crying. Xiu Yangui left a message before hanging up the phone, "I'll mail you some wedding candy when the time comes."
"OK."
There was a smile in Le Duo's tone. She was waiting for good news from Xiu Yangui. She was also looking forward to it, for this fellow human being, for this stranger and the happiness he was about to reap.
Three minutes had passed since the call was hung up, and Chen Nianyu still hadn't reacted. His big eyes were watery, as if he was the one about to be confessed to.
"Ayan..have you finally made up your mind?"
"I thought you wanted to wait a little longer. In fact, I wanted to confess my feelings to you a long time ago, but you weren't in a hurry, so I thought maybe you had your own plans, so I didn't dare to push you."
"That's great, Ayan! You've grown up! I'm so relieved!"
The speechless Xiu Yangui was hugged tightly by the moved Chen Nianyu. Chen Nianyu had no idea about his body shape and thought he was as petite as a hamster.
The two men fell on Zhou Beizhen who was still sleeping. Poor Zhou Beizhen thought it was an earthquake and the ceiling had collapsed.
Dinosaur fought against the wolf several times, and the three people fell to the ground along with their chairs.
Although everyone was quite noisy during this study session, they all quieted down after what they did and looked towards the back row. The sound of the falls was so loud that even Class 2 next door could hear it.
The students in the back row of Class 2 ran to the front door of Class 1 and peeked through the door frame. "What happened? Are you guys doing renovations?"
Chen Nianyu and Zhou Beizhen stood up cheerfully and waved to their classmates, "It's okay, it's okay, we were just joking."
"Sorry to bother you all, please continue, please continue."
Xiu Yangui didn't want to get up, it was too embarrassing, so he squatted under the table.
Chen Nianyu sat back in his chair steadily. Seeing Xiu Yangui still squatting, he was reluctant to get up. "A Yan, get up. What are you doing? Looking for treasure?"
"Don't worry about it." Xiu Yangui covered his head, unwilling to admit that he was among those who fell just now. "I like to play dumb."
After class, Chen Nianyu packed up his things, and together with Zhou Beizhen, he also packed up Xiu Yangui's things. "Okay, stay there for a while, we'll be done soon."
"Let's go, let's go play ball. We have a dinner party tonight."
Xiu Yangui stood up from the ground. There were not many people in the classroom, only a few students on duty. Xi Mo was not with them today. She and Qin Xinwei were going to buy things for tomorrow's outing.
Xiu Yangui once again glanced at Xi Mo's open space and picked up the ball, "Let's go."
When she was leaving the classroom, she met someone in the corridor. It was Pu Nuo, the math representative of the class and the male classmate who had once confessed to Xi Mo.
As soon as Xiu Yangui saw it was him, he looked him up and down. Although his expression did not change, the hostility in his eyes was still obvious, because among his many rivals in love, Pu Nuo was a strong opponent.
Speaking of which, Punuo and he are completely different people in some aspects. The most prominent point is that Punuo has a happy and complete family.
Pu Nuo's father, Pu Yun, is a mathematics teacher at Deyu High School. He teaches the first grade and has also taught a class. He is a serious teacher, meticulous and upright.
One day after school, Xiu Yangui passed by the office and accidentally saw the happy appearance of Punuo's family of three.
The mother who came to visit the class was wearing a beautiful gauze dress, smiling gently, and her every move was elegant and gentle. The father was wearing a dark blue shirt without a single wrinkle. The teacher who was serious in class also smiled gently at this moment. Sitting between the father and mother was their most beloved and proud son, Punuo.
Although Xiu Yangui only glanced at her briefly, the envy and bitterness that surged from his heart at that moment has been with him and has not dissipated to this day.
Perhaps because of his happy family background, Pu Nuo is never shy or afraid to express his feelings. When he realizes that he likes Xi Mo, he expresses his feelings immediately without any hesitation or hesitation.
He was not afraid at all that other people in the class would know about his personal feelings. Instead, he would ask his classmates not to make too much noise and not to disturb Xi Mo.
Even if he was rejected, he still remained a gentleman and hoped to continue being classmates with the person he liked. He did not want his feelings to cause trouble to the other person, and never gave Xi Mo pressure or excessive attention.
All the students in Class 1 admire this point about Pu Nuo. Although he is usually unknown, he will seize the opportunity. Just like when the whole class went out for team building, he did not deliberately seek to sit with Xi Mo on the bus.
However, if there is an opportunity, he will seize it to talk to Xi Mo and keep both parties at ease and comfortable.
Xiu Yangui also admired Pu Nuo in his heart, and thought that Pu Nuo was much better than him in this aspect. Of course, this was the only aspect he had, and he could not compare with him in other aspects.
Xiu Yangui was on guard against Punuo, and Punuo was of course on guard as well.
Although he failed in his confession in the first year of high school, he did not give up and was still in love with Xi Mo. The feelings were still condensed in his heart. He did not insist on confessing his feelings, but worked hard to improve himself.
