Chapter 19
"Did you bully the girl, so she didn't agree?" Yang Cheng was the eldest brother there, and he thought it might be the boy's fault, so he asked first.
"How could I bear to do that?" Lian Jian said with a serious expression, not seeming to be faking it.
"That means the girl has some concerns in her heart."
Yang Cheng continued to advise: "What are you afraid of? You are a grown man, you should always speak clearly if there is anything."
The other two nodded. "Yeah, let's sit down and talk about it. It's better than you sitting here alone with your thoughts."
"What if she really doesn't want to accept me?" Lian Jian has always been very confident in himself, but unfortunately, once he encountered Shi Miaomiao's situation, his confidence would be reduced a little.
"Hey, even if she doesn't want to accept you now, it doesn't mean she won't accept you in the future. Why do you think so much? If you really like her, just take it slow." Yang Cheng patted Lian Jian's shoulder to encourage him.
"Since you've been with him for such a long time, you should be able to sense whether he likes you or not. The most important thing right now is what you should do."
After Yang Cheng finished speaking, Lian Jian's slightly frowned brows relaxed and his eyes lit up.
Yeah, why is he worrying so much about it?
Instead of doing this, it would be better to pull Miaomiao out and have a good talk.
In fact, what he was most concerned about was whether Miaomiao liked the current Lian Jian or the Lian Jian who looked like her ex-boyfriend.
Even though it's all him, it's very important!
Do you remember why they broke up? If Miaomiao knew that he was her ex-boyfriend, would she still accept him?
Miaomiao resolutely broke up with him because she felt that he was too controlling and had double standards, and there was also a misunderstanding involved.
If she knew now that he was her ex-boyfriend, would she still give him a chance?
Will she not even give him a chance to explain, just like she did before?
So he hesitated again and again and never told Miaomiao the truth.
But looking at the current situation, Miaomiao was also very conflicted. If the two of them had a heart-to-heart talk, would it be better for both of them?
Even if she rejected him because of this, it didn't matter.
As long as he can see her and touch her, he will always have a chance to make Miaomiao like her again.
Thinking of this, Lian Jian stopped worrying about it. He wanted to find a suitable time to have a good talk with Miaomiao.
From that day on, Shi Miaomiao seemed to be avoiding Lian Jian.
She was just afraid that it would be awkward for them to meet.
Lian Jian had been trying to find a suitable opportunity to confess since that day, but the messages he sent to Shi Miaomiao were all sent back by her in a few words.
When you ask her to have dinner together, she wants to eat with her roommates. When you ask her to go to the library, she wants to study in the dormitory. When you ask her to go out for fun, she is too tired to move. Anyway, she always has a reason to refuse.
It was the last class on Friday. The teacher had something urgent to do and was absent from class, so everyone was asked to study on their own. Lian Jian, who was sitting in the back row of the classroom, looked at her who was sitting in the front row wearing a purple skirt.
She had long hair draped over her shoulders, her eyebrows were slightly raised, her lips were red without any makeup, and she was talking to the people around her with a smile on her face.
He knew that person; he was her roommate.
Lian Jian picked up her phone and opened WeChat. All she could hear was the distinctive sound of keyboard tapping: "Wait for me at the door after class. Let's go together."
The phone screen lit up. Shi Miaomiao took a quick glance and opened it. After seeing the message, she immediately glanced back at Lian Jian.
Seeing that he was looking at her, she immediately turned her head away, her face flushed slightly with embarrassment.
She thought he had given up, after all, she had been rejecting him one after another recently.
She was just thinking about whether to refuse when the next message appeared on her phone: "If you refuse, I will go to the door of your girls' dormitory and call your name."
Shi Miaomiao was indeed threatened when she saw the message. She didn't want to be on the school's confession wall and become the laughing stock of the students after dinner.
She glared at Lian Jian with a hint of anger, but her angry expression made her look particularly cute.
Shi Miaomiao's strength in typing on the keyboard increased. "I happen to be free. How could I refuse? Where can we meet?"
"How about the coffee shop at the school gate?" Lian Jian suggested.
"Okay, but we have to go our separate ways after class." Shi Miaomiao made a small request.
Seeing that she had agreed to meet, Lian Jian didn't have any more requests and immediately agreed: "Okay."
Shi Miaomiao greeted the people in the dormitory in advance and told them not to wait for her when they returned to the dormitory after class.
After class, Shi Miaomiao walked towards the coffee shop at a leisurely pace.
The coffee shop is not far from the school gate. The two-story building is particularly unique. When you walk in, the air is mixed with the faint aroma of coffee, and the cool atmosphere spreads, which is extremely comfortable.
Shi Miaomiao greeted the boss and went to the second floor.
She chose a seat by the window and sat down. Outside the window was a thick sycamore tree trunk, and the hanging sycamore leaves rustled in the autumn wind, creating a unique atmosphere.
Not long after I sat down, I heard footsteps coming from the stairs. The sound was neither fast nor slow, and I seemed to be able to feel how the owner was strolling leisurely in the garden.
As she was looking at the corridor exit, Lian Jian's handsome face suddenly caught her sight, making her tremble.
Before she could react, Lian Jian had already sat down.
Lian Jian looked at the scenery outside the window, then shifted his gaze to the person in front of him, "He's quite good at choosing a location."
He spoke with praise, as if he had completely forgotten the embarrassment of the previous few days.
Shi Miaomiao could only smile and say, "I just picked a random spot."
After saying that, to hide her embarrassment, Shi Miaomiao handed the coffee order to Lian Jian, "Come and see what you want to drink. It's my treat."
Lian Jian took the list, looked at it, and handed it back to Shi Miaomiao: "I drink raw coconut latte without sugar, see what you want to drink."
When Shi Miaomiao heard Lian Jian's words, she was touched by something and was stunned for a long time.
She seemed to remember that her ex-boyfriend always made the same request every time he bought coffee.
She looked up at Lian Jian in front of her again, as if trying to see something from his expression.
Lian Jian seemed to know what she was thinking, he just looked at her quietly.
His eyes are as deep as the sea, making them unfathomable.
Shi Miaomiao avoided his gaze, quickly ordered what she wanted to drink, and submitted the order.
When I put down my phone, I realized the atmosphere was extremely weird.
Lian Jian didn't say anything, just looked at her.
Shi Miaomiao became even more nervous, and stroked a green plant on the table with one hand to hide her nervousness.
Lian Jian smiled instead. He was good-looking to begin with, and his smile made people want to get closer to him.
"Miao Miao, are you nervous?" The voice was gentle.
Shi Miaomiao quickly shook her head, "No, no."
But her red earlobes betrayed her.
Lian Jian's lips curled slightly, "Miao Miao, why did you hide from me a while ago, huh?"
The voice was gentle as water, but to Shi Miaomiao it sounded like a censure.
"How could I be hiding from you? Why should I hide from you?" Shi Miaomiao's timid voice came.
As she spoke, she lowered her head and played with her fingers to hide her nervousness.
"Miao Miao, I didn't put too much pressure on you."
Lian Jian's eyes dimmed. The main reason they broke up was that he was too controlling. Now she was reluctant to respond. Was he pushing too hard?
Shi Miaomiao raised her eyes and looked at him with a gloomy expression. She couldn't bear it and shook her head lightly: "How could it be, you are fine, it's my fault."
After hearing what she said, Lian Jian's hope was rekindled.
As they were talking, the waiter brought the coffee, easing the awkwardness for a moment.
I can't tell whether I can't forget my ex-boyfriend or I like you. Although I have my own strategy task, I don't want to treat it as a simple task. It's unfair to you.
She gently stroked the coffee cup that had just been brought to her, lowered her eyes, her heart already churning.
As long as you don't hate yourself.
Lian Jian picked up the latte and took a sip. His slender jade-like hands looked particularly beautiful.
He was thinking about whether he should tell her the truth. If he didn't tell her, she might be angry when she found out later.
If he told her, what would he do if she stayed away from him?
Forget it. What she hated most was deception. If she told Miaomiao that she wanted to stay away from him, there would at least be a glimmer of hope.
Lian Jian put the coffee cup aside, smoothed his slightly wrinkled cuffs, and tapped the table lightly with his index finger.
Seeing that he had been silent for a long time and looked heavy-hearted, Shi Miaomiao tentatively asked, "Lian Jian, you... do you have something to say to me?"
Lian Jian saw her ask, and no longer hesitated: "Miao Miao, do you know who I am?"
"Who are you?" she murmured.
Speaking of this, she thought of him who had the same face as her ex-boyfriend Lian Jian, and thought of him who also drank latte without sugar.
Could he be her ex-boyfriend Lian Jian? But how could it be?
She raised her head, her beautiful face unable to conceal shock.
"Lian Jian, you are... you are my ex-boyfriend Lian Jian."
Lian Jian sighed when he saw her shocked look.
He nodded at Shi Miaomiao's suspicious and shocked expression.
"How could it be, how could it be..."
"When did you get here?" Shi Miaomiao continued to ask.
She was asked by the system to complete the task, but what about Lian Jian?
"Wear it here?" Lian Jian was puzzled.
"Yes, this is a world in a book, don't you know?" Shi Miaomiao continued to explain.
"I don't know. I woke up here." Lian Jian shook his head.
Shi Miaomiao saw that he looked puzzled and asked cautiously, "What happened to you?"
Lian Jian saw that Shi Miaomiao was not angry, but rather concerned about him, so he had to tell her the truth.
"After you died, I couldn't bear the blow. I drank all day and fell into the lake and drowned."
Having said that, Lian Jian seemed embarrassed and lightly touched his forehead to hide his embarrassment.
Hearing this, Shi Miaomiao opened her eyes slightly and was shocked again by what she heard.
Was he so heartbroken over her death that he got drunk, fell into the lake, and drowned?
"Then...then when did you find out that I was your ex-girlfriend? After all, I look different now than before." Shi Miaomiao continued to ask.
Lian Jian smiled, the corners of her mouth curled up. "Miao Miao, we've been in love for ten years. Ten years. Our relationship has surpassed anyone else's existence. I've memorized your every move, your hobbies, and even the smell of your body. Maybe your appearance will change, but a person's habits and temperament will never change."
After I remembered what happened in the past, I knew that you were my Miaomiao.
After ten years of living together, Miaomiao is not a family member but is better than a family member.
