Chapter 195 So What If I'm Moved
"What about you?" Tian Xin smiled and asked her: "If I tell you that I don't have any, what will you do?
"Me?" Li Jing pointed at herself, looking confused. "No, are you okay?"
“…”
Tian Xin turned her head away and didn't answer.
"You don't think there's anything going on between me and him, do you?" Li Jing was a little mad and turned her around: "Come on, sister, if there was anything going on between us, how could I still be friends with you? Are you stupid?"
She reached out her hand and flicked Tian Xin's forehead: "Wake up, sister? I'm not interested in your man! Don't be jealous!"
"Hiss—Ah!" Tian Xin gasped in pain, clutching her forehead. "What are you doing?"
"Are you angry?" Li Jing saw her frown and quickly went around to sit on the other side to tease her: "Hey, do you really not like him?"
“…”
"Really don't like it?"
“…”
"No, what do you mean by that?" Li Jing stopped laughing and started speaking harshly again: "If you really don't like him, please tell him clearly and don't keep him hanging, okay?"
"I……"
“Ding ding ding ding ding ding—”
This call came at the perfect time. Li Jing glanced at Tian Xin's phone screen and saw that it was Lin Zhou calling.
"Where are you?"
"It's..." Tian Xin glanced around: "It's over here at the Ferris wheel."
"Wait, I'll be there right away!" Lin Zhou seemed very anxious and hung up before Tian Xin could finish her words.
"Hey, don't...dudududu——"
Tian Xin was stunned for a second, then called again.
Before the call was connected, Li Jing suddenly snatched the phone away and hung up.
"What are you doing?" She stood up and reached out to grab the phone.
Li Jing put her hands behind her back and dodged her.
"I want to ask him a question?" Tian Xin stretched out her hand, pleading: "Give it back to me!"
"Answer my question first!" Li Jing's face was serious, no longer the playful smile she usually had.
Seeing Tian Xin didn't say anything, she asked again: "Is it because of your brother?"
"What?"
"Are you hanging on to him like this because of your brother? Is he the one you love?"
"Oh my god..." Tian Xin was speechless: "What nonsense are you talking about? Of course not!"
"If not, then you don't like him?"
“No…”
"Then why?" Li Jing couldn't understand. "Why is it so hard to admit this? What are you so worried about?"
"field……"
The two were arguing fiercely, going back and forth. Lin Zhou came over along the road and saw the two people arguing under the Ferris wheel.
Tian Xin's face looked very bad, as if she had something to say but was unable to explain.
Li Jing's face flushed, as if she was arguing with her about something.
He was about to shout, but he heard Li Jing's words: What are you struggling with?
So he kept silent and hid in the corner to listen for a while.
"Li Jing!" Tian Xin sighed and sat back on the bench with a cold expression: "It's not that I don't want to admit it, nor that I don't like him. I just want to give myself some time to buffer!"
She paused, a glint in her eyes: "Maybe you won't understand, but I know it myself. Lin Zhou is a very good person. I knew it from the very beginning when I met him. When we first met, I was so embarrassed, but he didn't look down on me at all. Instead, he helped me a lot! When I said he was a noble man, that was the truth.
I can feel that he really wants to help me and is working hard to maintain this relationship. But——"
Tian Xin raised her head, her eyes instantly filled with a layer of mist, and her voice became a little higher: "The more he acts like this, the more uneasy I become.
We are not from the same social class, and our living environments and cognitive levels are very different. Maybe it would be okay for us to have a relationship without having to consider all these things. But Li Jing, I don’t want to just have a relationship with him.
"..." Lin Zhou's heart stirred, and he couldn't help but tightly grasp the object beside him. But as soon as he grasped it, a faint stinging pain immediately spread across his palm. He stretched out his hand and realized that what he had just grasped was actually a thorny rose. In his haste and too much force, his palm had been pricked and blood had been drawn, a bloody red that was eye-catching and deep.
"I used to think I would never fall in love with anyone again in this life," Tian Xin continued, "I wanted to live a simple life. But he showed up time and time again when I was in the most difficult and helpless moments. I didn't even have to say anything, and he would take care of everything for me without even letting me know. Even a stone would be moved!
But what if I fall in love? Who can guarantee that I will always love someone?
She sneered and mocked herself: "I still don't understand what he sees in me. In terms of family background, you and him are the perfect match!"
"Didn't I tell you, the two of us..." Li Jing became anxious when she heard it.
"Don't get excited, just listen to me!" Tian Xin interrupted her. "In terms of looks and taste, I can't even compare to you city girls. Don't you think he's got it wrong? He's so stubborn and refuses to change."
"Why would you think that?" Li Jing was a little surprised and retorted, "What a bunch of crap about family background, looks, and taste. You graduated from Gucheng University, and I've really learned a lot today!"
She cursed louder and louder, a bit angry and disappointed: "How many years has it been since the Qing Dynasty fell? And you're still here advocating feudal superstition?"
"How is this feudal superstition? This is the truth!"
"What facts? I think that's just a twisted theory!" Li Jing laughed coldly, too angry to care about her. "You've said so much nonsense, just to prove that you two are not suitable. No, what do you mean? Sister, are you self-deprecating?"
“…”
Tian Xin was stunned. This question was like a sharp sword piercing her heart. She immediately denied it: "No!"
"If it's not you, then aren't you tired of being told this and that?" Li Jing pulled her up: "Come on, come on, stop thinking so much! Let's talk it out later. Stop being so hesitant and guessing. Aren't you tired?"
"Where are you going?"
"Let's go back! Let's finish this first." Li Jing said impatiently, "I still want to play. What time is it? I've wasted half a day here! Let's go!"
"No, don't be impatient!" Tian Xin held her back again: "I haven't finished yet."
"I don't want to listen anymore! You can tell him later!" Li Jing pulled her back again.
The two of them were pulling each other, which was really a bit funny. Tian Xin pushed Li Jing into the chair and breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, let's put this topic aside. First, tell me, what did you mean by 20% just now?"
"Twenty percent means twenty percent, literally!" Li Jing stood up again: "Come on, let's go back and talk! Stop tripping me up! And stop being so suspicious! I'm warning you, if you keep talking nonsense and things go south, it'll be your fault, so don't blame me then!"
"I……"
"What do you mean by 'me'? Let's go!" Li Jing grabbed her and walked back.
After they had walked a few steps, they turned a corner and found Lin Zhou leaning against the wall, his arms folded. Behind him lay a wall of white roses, and he stood there, his eyes cold and distant.
