39 Hope (1)
Li Yaya had just renewed her rent and casually mentioned it to Jiang Yi, saying that her landlord was a very nice person. In the past few years that she had lived there, not only did he pay her a price far below the market price, but he also never raised the rent.
Jiang Yi rolled his eyes and said, "Dou Ya, I actually think you can return that house. Anyway, you are living with me now, and that place is empty. Even if it is cheaper, it is a waste of money."
"No, if we break up, where can I find such a cheap house?"
Jiang Yi: ? So you're still thinking about breaking up.
Noticing Jiang Yi's mood was off, Li Yaya chuckled awkwardly. "I just think everyone needs privacy and independent living space. If you need to create, I can't disturb you, right?"
"You need privacy, you need an independent living space. From the time we've been together until now, you've always been leaving yourself a way out, right?"
Jiang Yi suddenly became serious.
Isn't leaving a way out the same as leaving a way out for the future? Even after marriage, you can still get divorced, let alone when you're just dating; you never know when you might end up breaking up.
Not only in love, but in any relationship and at any time, Li Yaya will always leave a way out for herself.
She doesn't think she did anything wrong.
However, Jiang Yi didn't think so.
He felt that this was a lack of trust in him and in their feelings.
She thought he was a little unreasonable.
Just like that, the two of them had their worst "quarrel" since they started dating. More accurately, it was a cold war, he pretended she didn't exist, and she also pretended he didn't exist.
Anyway, their schedules are often different, so why not just avoid meeting each other?
The other staff at the bar also noticed the different atmosphere between the two people, but that wouldn't do. They usually fangirled over these two when they had nothing to do in the bar. If they broke up, who would they fangirl over in the future?
Everyone smiled at each other, and went to ask Li Yaya one side, and to ask Jiang Yi the other side.
In the lounge, Huanhuan looked at Li Yaya, who was in a generally good mood, and asked cautiously, "Sister Yaya, did you have a fight with Brother Jiang?"
"kindness?"
"It's nothing. I just noticed that you two haven't been in good shape these past two days, so I wanted to ask. You don't have to say it if you don't want to."
Li Yaya was silent for a moment. Just when Huanhuan thought she was keeping quiet, she spoke up. "Well, sort of. We had a fight, and I think it was a little weird."
"Oh? Tell me in detail."
Li Yaya did not hide anything and told Huanhuan the whole story. Her idea was simple. She was a novice in love and asked if she didn't understand. Besides, those who are involved may be confused while those who are on the sidelines can see things more clearly. So there should be no harm in listening to others' opinions.
At the end came the question, “So is there something wrong with me?”
After listening to it, Huan Huan looked thoughtful, stroking his chin, thinking about how to start and what to say.
"Sister Yaya, I don't think there's anything wrong with you. Men need to be obedient, otherwise they'll be easily abandoned. Sister Yaya, you should do this. Leave him alone for a few days and let him know where he went wrong."
"Actually, I don't think he did anything wrong. Maybe we just have different perspectives. Long-term relationships between people require adjustment, and maybe this is the process of adjustment for us."
Most of the time, Li Yaya is a rational person. So even when faced with something as irrational as a relationship, she can analyze it calmly and calmly.
It seemed as if she was not the protagonist of the incident, she was just a bystander "watching coldly".
"Oh, Sister Yaya, don't think too much. Brother Jiang is a man, and men should be more tolerant. Anyway, just leave him alone for a few more days."
The two chatted for a few more minutes and then went out to work.
Passing by the bar, Huanhuan glanced at Jiang Yi, who was sitting next to him. Then, she and her colleague behind the bar exchanged a tacit glance, each giving the other a reassuring look. Then, she turned away and began to work.
Jiang Yi and Li Yaya were completely unaware of this.
They have to protect their CP themselves.
Yes, when Huanhuan was chatting with Li Yaya in the lounge, Jiang Yi was also being asked about indirectly outside.
However, the two sides had completely different reactions.
Jiang Yi was filled with righteous indignation.
It's like "complaining".
After the "complaint" was over, the same question was asked, "So is there something wrong with me?"
When it comes to matters of the heart, men and women tend to think differently.
Research has shown that there are indeed some structural and functional differences between male and female brains. Generally speaking, men tend to be more problem-solving oriented, while women tend to be more emotionally connection oriented. However, this is generally the case for Li Yaya and Jiang Yi, where the opposite is true.
Jiang Yi tends to be "emotionally connected oriented", while Li Yaya tends to be "problem-solving oriented".
After get off work, the two of them sat in front of the wonton stall at the same time, although they didn't say a word.
The wonton stall owner glanced at the two of them, then looked left and right, "Did they have a fight?"
The two of them were silent. When the wontons were served, they just ate their food seriously.
The wonton stall owner looked at the two of them and, as someone who had been through it all, said earnestly, "When two people are together, it's inevitable that they won't quarrel. Just talk it out. Listen to my advice, talk it out, and don't hold a grudge."
The worst thing to do in a relationship is to have a knot in your heart.
Small bumps will always accumulate into big bumps, and then explode one day.
On early spring nights, the cold has not yet completely gone away. There may still be some spring noise during the day, but at night, everything returns to silence.
The wind is cold, but not so cold that it is resounding. It blows on my face with a slightly moist coolness.
After eating the wontons and thanking the boss, the two of them strolled home.
Yes, in the middle of the night, the two of them strolled home.
I felt like I had to say something, but for a moment, I didn't know how to start. Both of them held their breath, a rare thing they had in common—stubbornness.
"that--"
"that--"
The two people said in unison,
"You speak first."
"You speak first."
Again, they said it in unison.
But he fell into silence again.
"I - how should I put it, I really am a person who doesn't like to think about the long-term future, after all, the future is changing rapidly. I think it's better to live in the present. But I enjoy every day with you. Maybe my so-called "leaving a way out" behavior does make you a little uncomfortable. But I have never thought about breaking up, at least until now, I have never thought about it. It's just that no one can predict what will happen in the future." At this point, Li Yaya's voice became smaller. Why did she still feel guilty about it?
In fact, these past few days, after Jiang Yi calmed down, he did think about it.
After calmly thinking about it, he could understand Li Yaya's actions. He even began to feel fortunate that Li Yaya was so rational, because he couldn't predict what would happen in the future.
He didn't dare to give any guarantees.
He was the one who fell in love first. What if that feeling faded one day? What if she didn't like him anymore? Would he keep pestering her and not let go?
Although when this idea popped up in his mind, Jiang Yi immediately denied it.
But the reason why the future is called the future is because it is unknown.
"I understand. Actually, I thought about it seriously afterwards. It's my fault. I always take things for granted and completely ignore your feelings. I'm sorry. Can we stop the cold war?"
"good."
The two of them reconciled, even though there was no major conflict between them.
The friend mentioned that "Happy Boy" has two registration methods: online and offline. Jiang Yi chose the online registration method. He didn't want to register offline for two simple reasons: first, it would be a wasted trip, and second, he was too fragile to accept being told in person that he was not good enough.
Yes, Jiang Yi is actually a sensitive and fragile little boy who cannot accept the blow of failure.
Of course, he didn't tell Li Yaya about this, not intentionally hiding it. He just thought, after it's over, he'll talk about it. If it's not over, he can just pretend nothing happened.
If he fails, Li Yaya will have to comfort him. Once comforted, he will become fragile. If he cries out of weakness, it will affect his image in front of Li Yaya. Just waiting for the notification is both torturous and hopeful.
Li Yaya was unaware of these inner thoughts.
Fortunately, I didn’t know about it, otherwise Li Yaya would have complained: You are so dramatic!
When she had nothing to do, Li Yaya carefully calculated the money she had on hand and the debts that had not yet been paid off. If she hadn't calculated it, she would not have known that it would take her only about two months to pay off all her debts!
It is April now, which means she can pay off her debt by July.
After two years and nine months, her life could finally be easier.
After figuring all this out, Li Yaya suddenly felt that life had more hope.
Two people, both quietly have their own expectations for life, so how can it not be considered another kind of two-way journey?
That day, Li Yaya went to work at the cake shop early in the morning. It was just after noon and there were not many customers in the shop. Only one or two people came in occasionally. Li Yaya had a bit of free time.
There was music playing in the store, still Chen Li's songs.
Li Yaya hummed along leisurely, and chatted with Sister Honghong and Sister Juan from time to time.
The door opened, and a customer came into the shop. Li Yaya threw herself into her work. She was introducing the flavors of bread to the customer when Jiang Yi rushed in from the doorway, hugged Li Yaya, and spun her around before letting her go.
While hugging her, she said, "Bean Sprout, Bean Sprout, I made it to the audition! I really made it to the audition."
Li Yaya was confused by what she heard, and there were customers present, so she could only let Jiang Yi go aside to calm down. After she introduced the situation to the customer and the other party paid the bill and left, she went over to "care" about Jiang Yi.
Sister Honghong and Sister Juan leaned over to watch the show. Li Yaya put her hands on her waist, looked directly at Jiang Yi, and said quietly, "What's wrong with you again?"
