Chapter 79 Friends
Chen Bailing pulled the corner of her mouth: "It looks very good, thank you."
She said this, but there was no joy in her eyes. She returned to her seat without saying a word.
Even Lin Chongyang could tell that Chen Bailing was in a bad mood.
He mouthed to Jiang Zhao, "What happened to her?"
How can someone get angry after receiving a gift?
Jiang Zhao didn't understand either, but she still chose to be the one who took the initiative.
She patted Chen Bailing's shoulder and asked, "Go get some water?"
"No." Chen Bailing said in a muffled voice without turning his head.
Jiang Zhao felt a little helpless for the first time, and she looked at Luo Yan.
She remembered that when they were buying things that day, Luo Yan said that Chen Bailing would be angry.
She still didn't understand why.
Luo Yan picked up the water cup: "I'll go with you."
The two of them walked out of the classroom.
Lin Chongyang plopped down on the empty seat in front of Chen Bailing and turned to ask, "What are you doing? How did the class representative offend you?"
Chen Bailing bit her lip: "I don't think she regards me as a good friend."
"Huh?" Lin Chongyang was shocked. "The class monitor doesn't even consider you a friend? She practically treats you like an ancestor. Has there ever been an exam where she hasn't predicted the questions for you?"
The two of them spend most of their time together, like conjoined twins. Aren't they still friends?
"Then shouldn't I give her a birthday present?"
Chen Bailing asked, "Will she return the birthday gift Yanshen gave her? She even specially bought a gold one."
Lin Chongyang scratched his head.
Girls' emotions are too complicated for him to understand.
On Jiang Zhao's birthday, he and Chen Huaiyu didn't give him anything. Several days later, Lin Chongyang gave him a math competition book.
After Jiang Zhao finished the competition questions, he borrowed it back to read.
Lin Chongyang felt ashamed for himself and Chen Huaiyu's shamelessness for a second.
The more Chen Bailing thought about it, the angrier she became: "She just wants to distance herself from me."
"Are you jealous?" Lin Chongyang suddenly realized something and asked, "So you want to go into a cold war with the class representative?"
Chen Bailing ignored him.
When she saw Jiang Zhao coming back, she stood up suddenly and walked forward and said, "Zhao Zhao, do you have time now? I want to talk to you."
"Of course." Jiang Zhao originally wanted to come back and find Chen Bailing again, so she handed the water cup to Luo Yan.
The two of them went to the corridor.
When they reached the corner, Jiang Zhao was still thinking about how to start the conversation, but Chen Bailing pouted and started crying first.
Chen Bailing is just like her name, a lark. She can get along well with everyone and has endless topics to talk about with anyone. It makes people feel happy to be with her.
Jiang Zhao imagined many situations, but none of them was like this, where Chen Bailing just cried.
She was not good at comforting people. Chen Bailing cried so hard that Jiang Zhao didn't know what to say for a moment.
She hurriedly took out a tissue and wiped Chen Bailing's tears.
It would have been fine if she didn't move, but as soon as she picked up the tissue, Chen Bailing's tears flowed like a faucet: "Why did you give me that?"
If you put aside the content of her accusation, she cried like Jiang Zhao was a heartless man.
Jiang Zhao explained: "The first time I saw it, I felt it was very suitable for you."
"Isn't it because I gave you...a gift? Do you have to give me one in return?"
The more Chen Bailing thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt: "Do you treat me as a friend?"
Will a true friend rush to return the gift?
I even checked the weight and chose gifts that were similar.
The golden apple was Chen Bailing's gift, but the moment she received Jiang Zhao's gift, she suddenly felt that her gift was like the golden apple, which was placed on the scale, measured for value, and then returned.
It's quite boring.
Chen Bailing knew that she was being pretentious, but she really couldn't help but think, is this possible between friends?
"Of course." Jiang Zhao said hurriedly.
Chen Bailing didn't say anything.
Jiang Zhao pursed his lips and said, "Bai Ling, I didn't have many friends before. Yue Liangjie mentioned that my classmates used to call me a female dinosaur."
"They are idiots." Chen Bailing cursed.
"That's not what I meant to say." Jiang Zhao held Chen Bailing's hand, his eyes also red.
Even if they quarreled, Chen Bailing would defend her at the first moment.
"It's okay. I don't care now."
Jiang Zhao said slowly, "Later, a friend of mine and I had some... misunderstandings. That's why I've never been good at interacting with people. For me, perhaps not owing anything to each other is the principle of communication."
She will draw a clear line with people she doesn't want to have anything to do with, and she is also generous in showing kindness to others.
If the other party gives, she will give back a little more.
You won’t feel sorry for others, nor will you feel wronged.
In the balance between the two, defend her dignity.
This is Jiang Zhao’s life principle.
But just now, Luo Yan told her that true love does not expect anything in return.
The moment you see the other person happy is the greatest reward.
That's why Chen Bailing was angry.
She never thought that her principle of "owing nothing to each other" would actually hurt her friend.
"I can't do that. It has nothing to do with me." Chen Bailing wiped her tears and cried even harder: "Aren't we good friends now?"
"It's because we're good friends, and in our relationship, you're the one who takes the initiative most of the time, and I feel embarrassed. So when you gave me a gift, I wanted to give you a surprise too."
"It's not my birthday yet."
Chen Bailing sniffed: "And it's not just a birthday gift. It's also because you often explain the problems to me. Wouldn't I feel embarrassed?"
"Then you were always teaching everyone when we were cheerleading."
"When we went to eat and ran into some hooligans, you stood in front of them."
"You are the one who organizes every activity we have."
"I'm not as smart as you."
"I don't have your emotional intelligence."
Chen Bailing burst into laughter and said, "Are we holding a commendation meeting for each other now?"
"That's it. I can talk about Chen Bailing's advantages all day long."
The two wiped each other's tears, and Chen Bailing opened the small box containing the earrings: "One for each of you."
Jiang Zhao didn't have pierced ears, but she still smiled and took out one: "Okay, one for each of us."
Chen Bailing asked: "Then what happened to that person you mentioned, since you said it was a misunderstanding?"
Jiang Zhao hesitated for a moment and said, "We are no longer friends."
"Why?"
Chen Bailing still remembered what Jiang Zhao told her: Don't miss a friend because of a momentary event.
How come she forgot about it now?
Chen Bailing understood: "So you regret it now?"
"Yeah." Jiang Zhao nodded. "If it happens again, I hope I can ask clearly."
Chen Bailing was confused: "Why do you have to do this again? Can't you go ask him now?"
Jiang Zhao thought for a moment and said, "It's not time yet."
The two girls linked their arms and hugged each other intimately.
Chen Bailing encouraged: "Zhao Zhao, do you remember what you told me, don't let yourself regret it?"
"Not this time."
Definitely not.
