The next morning, Lin Xiao got up on time.
Wei Ye had already gotten up, washed up, changed into his workout clothes, and was planning to go for a run.
The two then went out together.
While running, Wei said, "Ah Xiao, I listened to you guys talking about your paintings last night, and it was all very interesting. It's true that good paintings can inspire admiration, but emotions are sometimes hard to bear."
"I've been finding long-distance relationships really tough lately. I want to be by her side, but I can only imagine it. Sometimes I really don't know how much longer I can keep going."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao noticed that he was in a bad mood and guessed that he must have had a fight with his girlfriend.
To everyone's surprise, Aquaman guessed correctly.
"Did I bother you last night?" Lin Xiao asked with an embarrassed smile.
Wei Ye: "No. I was just turning over when I heard Aquaman talking. Then I quickly fell asleep again."
"I stayed up all night on the train the night before last without closing my eyes for a moment, so I was really exhausted last night. I went to bed to catch up on sleep around six o'clock."
Lin Xiao nodded.
The two ran half a lap in silence.
Seeing that Wei Ye wasn't in a good mood, Lin Xiao tentatively asked, "Wei Ye, you look listless. Did you have a fight with Gu Yao?"
Wei Ye smiled bitterly, "Yeah. She complains that I can't be there for her when she needs me, and she wants to break up with me. I really feel helpless. Graduation is just around the corner. We've made it through three years, there's no reason for us to fail in the last year, right?"
“That’s right. After graduation, you can all go to the same city, then you can reunite,” Lin Xiao chimed in.
"Yes, that's what I said too, but I don't know what happened, she's determined to break up with me. No matter how I try to coax her, I can't. I'm really exhausted."
"Has something happened to her recently?"
Wei Ye, panting heavily, said, "When we asked her, she said no."
Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows and tentatively asked, "Could it be that someone is pursuing her?"
Wei Ye paused, frowning, and said, "I hadn't thought of that. I've met all her classmates, and they all know me. It shouldn't be like this, right?"
They're trying to poach my employees?
He even treated his entire class to a meal.
Lin Xiao pulled Wei Ye to keep running: "Don't stop. Keep your rhythm of life, so your mind won't be in chaos. We'll analyze it for you later, let's run laps first."
Wei Ye was a rational person to begin with, and influenced by Lin Xiao, he immediately shook off his worries and started running.
An hour later.
Inside dormitory 808.
Lin Xiao, Wei Ye, Bird Brother, and Sea King gathered in one room.
They were having breakfast while discussing Wei Ye and Gu Yao's relationship.
While eating the fragrant fried dough sticks, Lin Xiao calmly said, "Brother Wei, don't rush things. Relationships aren't always that simple. Gu Yao might indeed have her own thoughts, but she just hasn't made them clear to you yet. Let us help you sort things out and see if we can find a breakthrough."
Wei nodded sullenly, took a sip of plain soy milk, and sighed, "Gu Yao is ignoring me now, and I'm really at my wit's end."
"I really don't understand. We were so close before, how could she just break up with me like that? She really doesn't have any feelings for me at all. I'm such a failure as a boyfriend!"
The more Wei Ye talked, the lower his head drooped.
The more envy people aroused by his past boasting, the more painful the slap in the face will be now!
He shouldn't have shown off!
Why is he showing off?
That damned vanity of his!
People who always want others to believe that they are happy are often not very happy.
Bird took a bite of his tea egg and mumbled, "Brother Wei, don't worry too much. Women, sometimes they just suddenly have all sorts of ideas. How about we go to Fallen Street for a couple of drinks tonight to cheer you up?"
Wei shook his head with a wry smile: "I'm allergic to alcohol. Besides, I feel even worse when I'm drunk."
"Brother Wei, what you've said seems to me like Gu Yao is testing you. Women sometimes like to put men in a difficult position. Just keep going and don't give up easily," the Sea King teased.
Grandpa Wei picked up a brown sugar steamed bun, took a bite, and said helplessly, "Easier said than done."
"Gu Yao has been like this lately, and I'm really exhausted and don't know what to do. If it weren't for you guys being there for me, I really don't think I could have made it."
"For the past three years, I have traveled between Jiangcheng and Beijing every weekend, and I have filled an entire box with train tickets."
“I spend money to buy her gifts for every holiday and her birthday.”
"But she actually complained that I was stingy and not generous enough to her."
"Damn it, I always saved money at school to give her the best. Whatever she wanted to eat, I would satisfy her without hesitation. Isn't that enough to show my sincerity?"
As he spoke, Wei Ye's eyes reddened, and it was clear that he was truly aggrieved.
Lin Xiao pulled out a tissue and handed it over. After a moment of silence, he said slowly, "Brother Wei, from what you're saying, it's not entirely because of the long-distance relationship, but more like Gu Yao dislikes you for not having money."
"I'm just guessing. Either her friends' boyfriends spend money very lavishly, which spurred her on; or she herself is vain and pursues designer bags, expensive cosmetics, and clothes, which you can't satisfy, so she uses the excuse that long-distance relationships are too hard to break up with you."
After saying that, Lin Xiao patted Wei Ye on the shoulder, comforting his wounded heart and self-esteem.
Wei Ye's eyes widened, and he paused, as if he had never thought of this aspect before.
He blinked his moist eyelashes and suddenly realized, "I remember now! Last Valentine's Day, I gave her a bouquet of flowers that cost 29.9 yuan. She called and scolded me, saying I was stingy and couldn't even bear to give her a bouquet of roses."
