Zhao Haitang's emotional and reasonable analysis convinced Si Mingda, the playboy. Teacher Du's choice of Zhao Haitang as class monitor was indeed well-deserved. She not only has a wide range of knowledge, but also has high emotional intelligence. She has the potential to be a teacher or a psychologist.
Simingda smiled bitterly and said, "Zhao Haitang, I understand what you mean. I know my behavior is stupid, and I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. I really like Luo Yingtao. She's my first love, and I fantasized about being with her forever. But now, before I even tasted the sweetness of love, she's left me. I feel ashamed. I made such a big fuss when I pursued her before, and now I've failed so miserably. I wonder how Luo Yingtao's suitors will laugh at me? Especially Gao Huai. He pursued Luo Yingtao very hard, bringing her food from time to time. He's wanted to break us up for a long time, and this just suits his wish."
"Si Mingda, I understand how you feel. Reputation is important, but health is more important. Have you ever considered your parents' feelings? You are so young and haven't even entered society yet. Giving up your life over something as trivial as a broken heart is too irrational, isn't it? What's more, if you do something stupid like this, won't Gao Huai gloat over your misfortune? If you want to make them shut up, the best way to fight back is to become stronger and live a happier life than them."
Zhao Haitang's persuasion made Simingda feel ashamed. He realized how superficial his thoughts were and how ignorant his actions were. He smiled sheepishly and said, "Zhao Haitang, thank you for your reminder. I was too stubborn."
Zhao Haitang continued, "Compared to life, what's face? If you can even give up your life, why would you care about face? Why bother with these illusory things? Just treat this as an experience in life. Your classmates all care about you and hope you recover soon. If you miss this scenery, the scenery at the next stop will be even more beautiful. Don't pay attention to what Gao Huai and the others say. They have their mouths on them, so let them be. Just live your own life."
"Zhao Haitang, I've benefited a lot from listening to your words. You truly deserve the title of an excellent squad leader."
Zhao Haitang smiled and continued, "I'm glad you listened to my advice. Relationships require mutual consent. Forced love doesn't work. Everything depends on fate. After a few years in society, you'll understand that these little incidents are not worth mentioning."
Si Mingda was not an unreasonable person. Faced with Zhao Haitang's earnest persuasion, his heart was deeply touched.
After a while, he slowly said, "Zhao Haitang, I understand this truth, but I just can't open my heart. You know, my financial situation is poor, and I don't have enough money to embellish our love. She is not happy with me. To be honest, I have invested my whole heart and soul in her. I do hard labor and odd jobs, living such a humble life, all to please her. This robbery frightened her, and she wants to leave me. I understand her choice. It's not that she owes me, it's me who owes her."
At this point, Si Mingda was still deceiving himself by expressing his so-called true love, which made Zhao Haitang very confused.
"Si Mingda, wake up. What's the big deal about a broken heart? Luo Yingtao's personality and family background are so different from yours. You two are really not suitable. No matter how much you like her, we have to face reality and cut our losses in time."
"Love doesn't need a reason. No matter how much her mother looks down on me, my love for her remains the same." Si Mingda still hasn't given up his fantasy about Luo Yingtao.
"What do you love about her? Her beauty or her cheerful personality?" Simingda's attitude made Zhao Haitang feel both amused and helpless.
"Love is a feeling, you can't explain why." Whenever Luo Yingtao was mentioned, Simingda couldn't help but smile, as if he was still savoring the happiness that short relationship brought him. However, at this moment, there was probably only pain and helplessness.
"Okay, Si Mingda, focus on your studies. There are many problems you will face when you enter society. You are a man, so you should be strong. It's not worth it to be desperate over a broken heart."
While Zhao Haitang was persuading Si Mingda, Wang Mudan was busy cleaning, boiling water, and carefully sorting out his dirty clothes, ready to wash.
"Wang Mudan, please sit for a while. Let Zhang Erqiang wash the dirty clothes. I won't bother you." Simingda shouted.
"Haha, it's okay." Wang Mudan smiled and walked to Zhao Haitang and sat down.
In the past, when Simingda went to dormitory 508 to find Luo Yingtao, he had several conversations with Wang Mudan, but at that time his attention was on Luo Yingtao and he never looked at Wang Mudan directly.
Just now, Wang Mudan quietly cleaned the room, carefully arranged the items on the table, and put his dirty clothes into the basin to wash. These actions deeply touched Simingda, and he couldn't help but look at Wang Mudan a few more times.
Wang Mudan is very thin and has ordinary facial features. Her image is completely incomparable to the bright-eyed and white-toothed Luo Yingtao, but they each have their own advantages. Wang Mudan has a good personality. No matter who she communicates with, she always has a smile on her face, giving people a warm and refreshing feeling.
"Wang Mudan, I'm sorry to trouble you."
"Haha, it's okay, Simingda. Haitang said so much just now, so I'll say a few words too." Wang Mudan smiled slightly and said softly, "Although you like Luo Yingtao very much, love must be based on mutual understanding. Love that is not meant to be can't be forced. Don't care about other people's opinions. Believe that time can dilute everything. There are still many days to come. If this road is blocked, you can try to turn around. You missed the stars, but if you take a few more steps forward, you might see the bright moon. Opportunities are everywhere. Look at the scenery from a different angle, and you will have a different mood."
