Chapter 71 Enlightenment

"How come I didn't know when you started treating me as a friend?"

Xia Zhizhi scratched her head and said honestly, "Also, I ate a lot of things behind your back, not just watermelon."

Wang Lizhen probably didn't expect her to be so honest. She choked and then cried even harder.

Xia Zhizhi cut open a small watermelon, put a spoon in it, and saw that she had almost cried enough, so she handed it to her and said, "Here, drink some water, and then continue crying after you finish eating, otherwise you will turn into a dried human body."

"You're the one who's turned into a dried up human." Wang Lizhen burped and retorted, but her hands were very firm. She took the spoon and scooped a spoonful of watermelon into her mouth. "It's so sweet, so crisp and sweet. Where did you buy it?"

"They didn't grow much, so I didn't tell you. I secretly exchanged some for myself to eat." What a joke. Could she say that it was produced in her space?

Wang Lizhen mistook the watermelon for her and dug it in anger: "We were best friends at the beginning, but when we got to the educated youth center, you started to get along with them. Brother Zijin is the same. You are really too much..."

Wang Lizhen was holding back tears. The more she spoke, the more aggrieved she felt. She could no longer control her tears, which began to fall down her cheeks.

Xia Zhizhi did not try to comfort her. She scooped a basin of water for herself, washed her hands, and then scooped a dollop of vanishing cream to wipe her hands. This thing was a bit oily when applied to the face, but it was just right for wiping hands.

After Wang Lizhen finished eating the watermelon, her tears dried up. Seeing that Xia Zhizhi didn't come to comfort her, she put the watermelon rind on the table, crossed her arms, pouted, and asked her unconvincedly: "I think I'm not worse than Han Youran in appearance, why doesn't Brother Zijin like me?"

Looking at the mirror that Xia Zhizhi passed to her, Wang Lizhen was a little confused: "Why?"

"Take a look." Xia Zhizhi put the mirror in front of her face.

"You said I'm not as pretty as Han Youran!" Wang Lizhen slammed the mirror on the table and glared with anger.

Xia Zhizhi nodded honestly.

Without exaggeration or understatement, in those ten novels, 9 and a half of the female protagonists are more beautiful than the supporting female characters.

Even if they are barely equal in looks, the heroine must be better than the supporting actress in terms of personality.

Wang Lizhen pouted. She was not blind, so she knew the truth. She was a little disappointed. "But my appearance is innate. What can I do? Do gay men only like girls with pretty faces?"

"How come? Do you think they like me?" Xia Zhizhi spread her hands.

Wang Lizhen looked her up and down and to be honest, apart from being a little thin, sickly, with a bad personality and a little lazy, there was nothing wrong with her in other aspects.

But it’s hard to say about other gay men. Cui Zijin and Tang Mingli’s dislike for her is clearly written on their faces.

Wang Lizhen didn't even think about it. Who could like her when she targeted her like that? You don't even need to see a psychologist to know that he must be a masochist.

Wang Lizhen was a little unconvinced and said, "Except for my looks, how else can I compare to Han Youran? I have known Brother Zijin for so long, why can't I impress him!"

Xia Zhizhi counted on her fingers: "Besides not looking as good as Sister Youran, you also don't have as much hair as her, your skin isn't as white as her, and your figure isn't as good as hers..."

Wang Lizhen interrupted her: "These are all natural!"

Xia Zhizhi started to fold her other hand: "You are not as generous in your speech as she is, your personality is not as kind as hers, you are not as hardworking as her, and you can't do housework..."

"Okay, okay, stop talking. If you say that, I don't have any advantages at all, right?" Wang Lizhen pouted and said aggrievedly.

"That's not the case." Xia Zhizhi said frankly, "In fact, you are not bad looking, your family is good, and you are a high school graduate, so your conditions are still very good."

But I can't compare with the heroine.

Wang Lizhen said quietly, "I have liked Brother Zijin since I was a child..."

"How can you understand what you like and dislike when you are a kid..."

"Just listen to what I have to say!" Wang Lizhen glared at her.

She interrupted Wang Lizhen on purpose. No one wanted to hear a long and smelly secret love story that was as long as an old lady's foot binding.

Covering his ears, he said perfunctorily, "Yeah, yeah, go ahead, I'm listening."

Being interrupted by her, Wang Lizhen lost the idea of ​​​​telling and sighed faintly: "Are you saying that I have lost all hope? I am really sad. I don't want to lose him."

"When did you have it?" Xia Zhizhi blinked and asked her puzzledly.

Wang Lizhen was stunned and asked her angrily, "Do you really have to make me angry?"

"I'm telling the truth!" Xia Zhizhi felt wronged.

"You are just like them, secretly laughing at me and chasing after gay men, right?" Wang Lizhen came to this countryside after chasing love for thousands of miles. She had to work without eating or sleeping well, but in the end, her love was gone. It was so miserable.

I was already feeling aggrieved enough, and I really had no one to talk to, so I came to her specifically to tell her my girlish secrets, but in the end I couldn't say anything to this thing.

Xia Zhizhi waved her hands quickly: "I didn't laugh behind your back, I laughed in front of you."

She blinked her eyes and said sincerely, "I really think it's stupid to be hanging around gay men like a fly."

The system was buzzing in her head.

[Xia Zhizhi, what do you want to do? You are passive and slacking off. You finally got a job, but you still want to persuade people to leave? Who wants to watch a story without any twists and turns? ]

She always felt that the system was really stupid, but she was too lazy to explain it to it in detail and just ignored it.

Wang Lizhen hung her head in dejection. She was not stupid and knew that she was losing face. But what could she do? She really liked Cui Zijin, but Cui Zijin was not interested in her. If she did not take the initiative, there would be no possibility between them.

Seeing Wang Lizhen's depressed look, Xia Zhizhi sat down next to her and spoke to her from the bottom of her heart: "I know you like Comrade Cui, and you went to the countryside just for him. In my opinion, Comrade Cui Zijin was wrong in this matter."

Wang Lizhen chased after Cui Zijin every day, and Cui Zijin had been avoiding her like the plague these days. There were so many people at the educated youth site, and everyone talked about her behind her back. After all, she was a girl, and it was inevitable that she would be gossiped about if she was too proactive.

Sometimes those male educated youth would even tease her in person.

Wang Lizhen also felt aggrieved, but she was unwilling to give up now. The more people were pessimistic about her, the more she wanted to save face. When she heard Xia Zhizhi say this, she looked at her pitifully with tears in her eyes.

Xia Zhizhi said: "If he doesn't like you, then he should have told you clearly earlier instead of giving you hope in this vague way."

Wang Lizhen couldn't help but excuse her lover: "He told me that he only treats me as a sister..."

Xia Zhizhi interrupted her: "If every day you like him means he lives one year less, do you think he will just try to stop you from thinking about him?"

Wang Lizhen was stunned and whispered, "How is this possible?"

She continued to brainwash him: "I mean, if Cui Zhiqing didn't really kill you, it was because your love didn't cause him any loss. You followed him to the countryside with the idea of ​​trying again because you thought you could get him if you tried harder. He gave you hope that you could succeed if you tried harder."

"Don't say that he was embarrassed to refuse because the two families are too familiar with each other. For the sake of your two families' friendship, he has to keep his distance from you because he is not interested in you. Otherwise, wouldn't that harm you?"

"That's because you have a good family background. If your family background was a little bit poorer and you followed him to the countryside, and he didn't take responsibility for you, then you would have to stay here and farm for the rest of your life. Wouldn't your life be ruined?"

Wang Lizhen was stunned. She felt that Cui Zijin was not that kind of person. She wanted to refute Cui Zijin, but she didn't know how to start.

Xia Zhizhi patted Wang Lizhen on the shoulder and said, "Okay, stop worrying about it. It's not against the law to like someone. Since you still can't let go, then try harder."

"But Brother Zijin said that I caused him trouble..."

"So what?" Xia Zhizhi tapped her head and continued to comfort her: "Since he doesn't want to be with you anymore, why do you still care so much about his feelings? Of course, you can do whatever you want. Just be happy."
