Goodbye, leave
When the bustling conference room returned to silence, Yuan Li breathed a sigh of relief and looked around. Noticing that someone was missing, he looked at Jiang Guo and asked,
"What about Yiran?"
Jianguo hesitated for a moment, then a look of realization appeared on his face: "Just now he said he had something to do and left first."
"He," Zhan Jing suddenly said, "maybe he's not in a good mood."
Before Jianguo could speak, Yuanli asked in a puzzled tone, "Why?"
Zhan Jing immediately gave Yuan Li a doting smile: "You have to ask him about this. I just saw that he was often distracted and guessed it."
Yuanli said "oh" suddenly, then looked at Jianguo and asked, "Sister Guo, Boss Zhan and I are going to have dinner. Are you coming with us? Or are you going to look for Yingran?"
Sugao, who was still worried about what Zhan Jing said about "not feeling right", pursed his lips and smiled: "You guys go ahead, I'll go back to the hotel and take care of something for a while."
"Okay, then you arrange it yourself." Yuanli and Zhan Jing left hand in hand.
Jianguo, who had been hesitating on whether to send a message to Yingran all the way, just returned to the hotel room and suddenly received a message like this:
"Sister, I keep saying that I like you and keep pestering you. Do you think I'm a particularly arrogant and speechless person?"
It should have been sent.
Jianguo frowned instantly, threw down the things in his hand, and quickly replied: "What do you want to say?"
After sending the question, Sugao kept staring at the screen of her mobile phone, 1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds... She seemed to feel what it meant to feel like a year had passed by each day.
It was only about two minutes later.
But she felt like she had waited for two hours before Ying Ran replied.
"I just suddenly realized that I don't seem to understand you at all, sister. I don't understand your true character, and my understanding of you is only superficial. I can't peek into your world, I can't keep up with you, and I can't even feel your thoughts. I always blindly and ostentatiously declare how much I like you. After tonight, I can't help but wonder, when you usually look at me, do you think you're looking at an ignorant idiot? And in fact, I find that I am indeed an idiot. I clearly have no shining points, and I'm so far away from you, but I dare to say that I like you. I really overestimate my own abilities!"
When Sugao looked at the words that filled the screen, his heart seemed to be suddenly pierced by a needle, and the pain was so obvious.
Enduring the sudden discomfort, her trembling fingertips danced across the screen as she quickly uttered, "I never thought of you as an idiot. Is that really who I am in your heart?"
She admitted that she had a somewhat strong personality, and liked to fight back with arrogance when facing people who were looking for trouble, but she never lost her sense of propriety towards the people close to her, including him.
Moreover, did he really mean it when he said it?
It seemed like she was the one with the upper hand between them, but wasn't he actually the one who was directing everything?
He stubbornly refused to give up and forcefully invaded her life, causing her, who had not known what soft-heartedness was in the previous twenty years, to clearly watch herself giving up her principles little by little and willingly sinking into depravity.
However, he was right about one thing.
He really didn't understand her at all.
Because we don’t understand, even though we say we don’t like something, we never have the courage to persevere.
His heart suddenly ached, and Sugao unconsciously closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
When I opened my eyes again, Ying Ran had already replied, "I don't know."
Then came self-doubt.
"I really don't know what's really going on in your heart. Sometimes I feel like you're so close to me, that you don't reject my closeness, that we can go for walks, watch movies, live together like a couple... But when I do these things, I often feel insecure, and there's always a voice in my heart telling me: You're just feeling sorry for me. Tonight, looking at that dazzling person on the stage, I suddenly realized that the distance between us is actually so great... so great that I feel like I really don't have the right to say I like you. Or to be more precise, I've been selfishly pestering you in the name of liking you, knowing full well that you don't want to and don't like me at all."
After seeing these words, Sugao laughed.
This bitter smile seemed to have a sense of finality about these words being sent, saying, "As expected."
But, more of it is the indescribable bitterness.
As expected, we can't have too much expectations.
After laying so much groundwork, he finally said it.
In the south city, in the cinema that night, she told herself that it was not shameful to admit that she liked someone. She had also thought of taking the opportunity of coming to Beijing to tell him... but he gave up first.
You are too young and your love is too strong, in the end it will just be a fast-food like love that comes and goes quickly.
There's nothing much to say, and it's not worth struggling with.
In fact, wasn't this the situation she had been expecting from the beginning? Even though there had been some deviations during this period, today, they were back on the right track.
Besides, it was his idea.
In the end, he finally saw through his own impulsiveness.
A soft laugh escaped unconsciously from his nose, and Sugao danced his fingers again and replied, "Okay, I understand what you mean."
Now that things have come to this, let's be more straightforward.
No one should give anyone a chance to regret.
After the message was successfully sent, Jianguo immediately clicked the upper right corner, quickly found the delete button, and clicked delete...
A few days later, Nancheng University.
After the exchange meeting, Sugao and Yuanli naturally returned to South City.
Jianguo was as busy as ever, while Yuanli rarely stayed in the dorm. She said that her departure date was approaching, and she needed to make the most of her time to spend with her boyfriend. Otherwise, they would have to travel across mountains and seas to see each other, and even experience the pain of wanting to see each other but not being able to.
Jianguo, who had gradually gotten used to staying alone in the dormitory, had become immune to her words that valued love over friendship.
In addition, during this period of time, after leaving the crowd, she prefers to be alone.
Instead of living in your own little house, you can just stay in school. Even if you stay up late, you don’t have to worry about being late the next day.
She is not like Yuanli who is afraid of this human alarm clock.
In the blink of an eye, it has been a week since I returned from Beijing.
Christmas is coming.
On Christmas Eve, after studying in the library for a while, Jianguo returned to the dormitory in a pretty good mood, taking the apple that his junior sister forced on him.
If she hadn't clicked on a certain Weibo post and seen a trending search, she could have spent the night happily...
After finishing today's plan, of course I had to do something that didn't require much thinking to relax my brain when I returned to the dormitory. While biting an apple, Sugao picked up his phone and planned to check it for a while.
When she clicked on the trending search on Weibo, the top title read #Yingran and his junior sister spent Christmas Eve together and are suspected of being in a relationship#
After seeing the name Yingran, Sugao, who was a little dazed, clicked on it unconsciously with his fingertips... Under the hot search discussion, the top one was a video.
The fingertips seemed to be able to control themselves and clicked in...
"I was able to get such a great opportunity to participate in this variety show thanks to the help of Senior Brother Yingran. Senior Brother Yingran and I are both from Dongcheng, and we both went abroad as interns when we were young. Coincidentally, we also work at the same company, so we've always had a good relationship. Senior Brother Yingran came back early because his contract ended, and he gradually became familiar with the situation back home, so he has been taking care of me since I came back."
Ignoring the girl's deliberately pinched throat and pretending to be gentle, looking at the girl's face, Sugao subconsciously thought of her name in his mind - Wang Zirou.
Last year, a girl who returned from China was very popular in a popular girl group talent show and almost debuted as the center. In the end, she lost to the final center position by a single second.
Her fans, outraged by her disappointment, attacked the girl who took center stage after the show. The fans of the girl who debuted in the center position weren't pushovers, so when they were bullied, they naturally fought back. The back-and-forth between the two sides was so intense that during that time, every time you opened Weibo, you could see them arguing.
Fellow students? Fellow townspeople? Living in a foreign country together?
Sugao unconsciously raised the corners of his lips with a hint of sarcasm. It was not surprising that they could develop feelings for each other since they had all the favorable conditions of time and place.
Continuing to look down, I finally saw the scene of spending Christmas Eve together.
Yingran and Wang Zirou emerged from a restaurant, both dressed in casual clothes and matching baseball caps. They were close together, their bodies clearly touching. Yingran occasionally leaned forward, seemingly listening to Wang Zirou's words. After walking for a while, they boarded the same car and arrived at the gate of the same residential complex.
Beneath these images, many netizens sighed in surprise...
"I saw them together at a brand event in Sanlitun yesterday. They were quite affectionate, biting each other's ears the whole time. I thought they were a perfect match, but I never thought it would become a reality today."
"So they were together yesterday! I also saw them at a hot pot restaurant the day before yesterday. They were with a group of friends at the time, but who knows if these friends were dragged out by the young couple to deliberately confuse the audience?"
"When Wang Zirou participated in the talent show last year, some fans broke the news that they were a couple in Korea. But no one believed it at the time, and some even said Wang Zirou was deliberately trying to stir up trouble. Now they've been proven wrong. Now, she's constantly being fed opportunities by her seniors."
......
Further up, there is a scene of quarrel between fans of both sides.
Sugao lost interest and threw his phone down.
Junior sister?
The corners of Sugao's mouth twitched again unconsciously... It's hard to describe the feeling of being weighed down by a huge rock at the moment.
These days, there is no trace of him in her life, and his image does not unconsciously appear in her mind. She thought she had forgotten him completely. But now, seeing him getting close to others, it seems that it still makes her feel uncomfortable.
So, did he and his junior sister rekindle their old love?
So, was she just a temporary deviation in his feelings?
So, he could say those words to her?
wrong.
Haha, those words were not said by him.
He didn't even want to see her anymore, and only used WeChat to perfunctorily resolve their relationship...
Huh~~
fine.
He was getting back on track, shouldn't she be even more so?
Originally, he shouldn't have stumbled into her world.
Then,
Yingran, goodbye.
