Chen Ruixue glared angrily at Jiang Tiecheng, who touched his nose in response.
This girl's eyes look like she wants to devour me.
"Don't cry. If you have any grievances, let's go inside and talk. Tell me what's wrong, and I'll think of a solution for you."
But I'm really baffled by your sudden crying at the door, and I don't know what to do.
Chen Ruixue saw Jiang Tiecheng express his emotions so vividly for the first time.
That bewildered look, that silly and naive expression, made Chen Ruixue both angry and fond of him.
A wave of sadness washed over me. How could the man I fell in love with be like this?
There was no reaction or response; no matter how much effort I put in, the other party seemed completely unaware.
She had always been a favored daughter of heaven, with everyone revolving around him. She had never experienced such a situation where she gave so much but never received any response.
But it's also clear that Jiang Tiecheng genuinely didn't know.
Jiang Tiecheng wasn't pretending, nor was he indifferent; he simply didn't know how to handle this situation.
Faced with such a simple-minded Brother Jiang, all the fire in Chen Ruixue's heart suddenly went out.
"Okay, let's go inside and talk."
Seeing that Chen Ruixue had stopped crying, Jiang Tiecheng immediately smiled with relief and hurriedly opened the door.
"Come in, come in and sit down. Have you had dinner yet? If not, I'll make you something to eat."
Girls, don't cry. He can't stand women crying.
He could accept being hit, scolded, or subjected to scheming and trickery without question, but when a woman cried, he simply didn't know what to do.
He had never been able to coax his ex-wife in his past life either. Every time she cried, she would make exorbitant demands, setting endless expectations for him.
So when he sees a woman crying, he feels both soft-hearted and cold-hearted.
He knew he was having a stress reaction; it was natural to have these thoughts in this situation, but he shouldn't be thinking about Chen Ruixue like that.
Jiang Tiecheng attentively filled a basin with water for her and placed it on the washbasin stand. Chen Ruixue silently washed her face while glancing at Jiang Tiecheng out of the corner of her eye.
Jiang Tiecheng stood not far away from her, staring intently at her.
Suddenly, she felt a little happy. It seemed that her crying earlier had scared Jiang Tiecheng. Otherwise, Jiang Tiecheng would never have been so considerate to her.
This blockhead still has some senses, but his reactions seem to be very different from those of a normal person.
Chen Ruixue suddenly felt sorry for Jiang Tiecheng, wondering what kind of family environment had shaped him into the person he was.
To be precise, Chen Ruixue's feelings were deep and unwavering.
Seeing that Chen Ruixue had finished washing her face, he hurriedly handed her a clean towel.
After handing over the towel, Jiang Tiecheng felt bored again. He realized he was indeed a spineless sycophant; look at him, he immediately fawned over others and became their lapdog.
But there was nothing he could do; in his past life, he had become accustomed to this kind of response in such situations.
Jiang Tiecheng felt ashamed of himself, and was both angry and resentful. After handing over the towel, he turned and left.
He went straight to his living room.
The sofa he made is right here. Although it can't compare to sofas from later generations, it's still made with springs and is very comfortable to sit on.
After wiping her face, Chen Ruixue sat down opposite Jiang Tiecheng. The two sat facing each other on a single sofa with a coffee table between them.
Jiang Tiecheng didn't speak, and neither did Chen Ruixue; the atmosphere between them remained silent.
Chen Ruixue saw that Jiang Tiecheng was angry for some reason, and his stern face definitely didn't lie.
Feeling even more wronged, she spoke up.
"Brother Jiang, why are you angry?"
Jiang Tiecheng was taken aback, not expecting Chen Ruixue to ask him so directly.
How can I answer myself when I feel angry at my own sycophantic behavior?
He replied that he had lived two lives. In his previous life, he was so humble that he served his ex-wife diligently, only to end up raising someone else's child and wife.
They've also raised a whole bunch of ungrateful wretches.
Realizing that her anger was unfounded, Chen Ruixue did nothing. To be precise, Chen Ruixue was just like her past self.
The thought that Chen Ruixue was another version of himself made him realize that he had given that version of himself such a ruthless and brutal response.
I suddenly felt a pang of sympathy for Chen Ruixue.
We can't blame other people's mistakes on this girl. We can't knowingly hurt ourselves by being a sycophant and still attack another innocent girl like this.
He would be a terrible person to do that.
He sighed and answered seriously for the first time.
"I'm not angry with you, I'm angry with myself."
Why am I angry with you?
"I used to like a girl, but she looked down on me and acted superior. So I treated her with the same meticulous care you are now."
But she never gave me a second glance.
I suddenly realize that my current attitude towards you is just like how I used to treat other people.
I've been hurt before, how could I hurt others? That would be utterly shameless.
Upon hearing this, Chen Ruixue's eyes immediately changed, filled with endless sympathy. That pitying look made Jiang Tiecheng feel ashamed.
“Brother Jiang, don’t blame yourself so much. You’re not that person, and you’ve never hurt me.”
"Liking you is a one-sided thing for me. You have the right to reject me, and you also have the right to dislike me."
No one stipulates that if you like someone, the other person must reciprocate.
"Besides, you're not that woman. As soon as I heard you say that, I knew that woman was a bad woman."
She actually treated you like that. Now I understand why Brother Jiang was always so hot and cold towards me.
“Brother Jiang, I know you’ve been hurt. That’s because that woman was blind; she couldn’t see your good qualities.”
Why bother with a woman like that?
"The world is so big, aren't three-legged toads hard to find, but two-legged women hard to find?"
“It’s wrong to punish yourself for other people’s mistakes, Brother Jiang. You should muster up the courage to live. The world is so beautiful, and so many people like you.”
"You are so outstanding. Many, many people will like you, not just me."
"Don't be discouraged, and don't think you're incapable just because of other people's mistakes."
“In my eyes, you are different from everyone else.”
You are so brave, tall, upright, intelligent, and very capable.
Why bother caring about the opinions of those who look down on you?
The more you care about them, the more respect you should give them.
"Brother Jiang, you must believe in yourself. You are the best person in the world."
