Chapter 222
One morning while eating, he said, "Ruan Liang's room is too dark. Since no one wants to live there, we can't let a few people suffer. Shouldn't we take turns living there?"
"Yeah, that's exactly what I meant. You guys have been working so hard, I'll stay with you for a few days."
Wang Jiazhi couldn't believe it. She had never been so reasonable.
One day, Wang Jiazhi went to the book corner to get a book, and a book fell down. She picked it up and found that it was full of small portraits of Wan Zhu, and even the empty spaces were filled with paintings.
She flipped through several other books of Ruan Liang and found that they were all filled with drawings.
Oh my god, Ruan Liang likes Wanzhu.
For some unknown reason, the next day, Ruan Liang took all the books back. He was probably afraid people would find out.
One day at the printing place, during a lunch break, she saw what looked like Lao You and Wan Zhu under the trees in the distance.
She suddenly realized. No wonder he'd been so transformed these past few days. So he was pursuing Wan Zhu, and then, he knew he was annoying the way he was! Hey! Yet, he acted like he had a clear conscience and was being ostracized.
Before leaving get off work, he smiled and said, "Yuan Kai, I have something to do today. You can take over for me in the first half of the night, and I will come in the second half."
Xiao Xu said, "So what if Yuan Kai takes over the night shift for you? It's not like he'll always be like this."
Lao You smiled and said, "Yeah, go and do your thing. I'll take over."
Everyone was trying so hard to hold back their laughter that they were about to get internal injuries.
In the past, Lao You had always been passive and lazy, adding a lot of work to everyone else's work. Now that he was going to perform in front of Wan Zhu, everyone simply helped him and asked him to do the work he had previously skipped.
But Wan Zhu was obviously bewitched by him, and later on, she even showed signs of wanting to get married.
Ruan Liang just watched without daring to confess his feelings. He just secretly drew small pictures of Wan Zhu on the blank spaces in all his books.
One day when he went home to clean up, he found that the pile of newspapers under the bed that he had saved for practicing calligraphy were actually covered with small portraits of Wan Zhu.
"How did you draw this? How long did it take?"
No one else wanted Wanzhu to marry Laoyou, but they didn't dare to say anything. After all, Laoyou was too paranoid and not someone to be trifled with.
One evening, Zhu and Lao You went out, while Xiao Xu and Duan Fengming also went out. She went downstairs to buy groceries, but when she got to the door, she remembered she had forgotten to bring money. When she returned, she heard his door closed and heard him arguing with Ruan Liang.
She tiptoed over and heard him say, "Why are you so weak? Can you bear to let Wanzhu marry that man You Yuankai?"
"It's my business, none of your business. Who said I like her?"
"You don't like her and you draw her portrait every day. Why don't you say it."
Ruan Liang was obviously driven to despair and angrily asked, "Then why didn't you say it if you liked Wang Jiazhi?"
"How does this relate to me?"
"You were so clear-eyed at first, and you're usually so eloquent, but how come you can't speak coherently when you meet her? And that attic, with stuff piled up to the roof, you've been cleaning it up like a rat, day and night for days. We're not blind. But you're just so unclear with her, and you still haven't given her a clear answer."
"My situation is more troublesome."
"Then my situation is also very troublesome. You don't need to worry about me."
But a few days later, the love poem written by Ruan Liang to Wan Zhu appeared in the newspaper. Wan Zhu rejected Lao You soon after, and it was unknown when she started dating Ruan Liang.
She said to him, "Can't Wanzhu have a good man?"
"What's wrong with Ruan Liang?" he said.
She said, "He saw that Wanzhu was going to marry someone like Laoyou, but he refused to confess his love to her. He didn't love her that much."
This incident greatly stimulated Lao You, and he became his old self again, and his resentment towards him became even deeper.
He had quit drinking because of a serious incident before, but this time he got drunk again. He went back to cause trouble and beat people up. Lao You, no matter how he usually did, would never dare to disrespect him. But this time, he rushed in drunk and started a fight, beating anyone who tried to stop him. The situation was out of control.
Lao You scolded everyone harshly, even Wan Zhu was cursed.
He had been quite calm at first, but after hearing what Lao You said, of course he beat him up badly. Although they were about the same age and size, Lao You really couldn't beat him.
Wang Jiazhi's new and old grudges surged in her heart. She quietly went into the kitchen and boiled a pot of water. There was a commotion outside. When the water boiled, she looked at the pot eagerly and walked into the house.
When Lao You saw this, he, who was originally unable to get up under his control, suddenly jumped up and ran out of the door quickly. The world became quiet in an instant.
Everyone was stunned.
