"If it's because of a quarrel with Auntie, I can't help you. As the saying goes, it's hard for a judge to judge family affairs. But if it's because of me, then you have to explain why you're angry. Didn't you say that if you don't understand, just ask. Now that you've asked, you have to understand clearly, right?"
Zuo Yueyao walked to the door and stood there. Su Xian followed him unwillingly and also stood there. Then he watched him lock the door and then heard him say, "You don't have to care whether I'm angry or not."
"So, you are really angry?"
Su Xian is good at picking out words: "If you are angry, how can I ignore it? Didn't I say that you treat me well and I treat you well, it's mutual."
"Am I good to you?" Zuo Yueyao suddenly asked.
Su Xian answered without thinking: "Okay, of course."
"So, why are you mad?"
He wanted to change the subject, but it was impossible, Su Xian snorted in his heart.
"Do you want me to be with her?"
This question was really unexpected. Su Xian frowned, bit his lip, and thought for a long time: "How should I answer this question? I don't think I have the right to say whether I hope or not."
"I said you have it?"
"Then I hope not."
"Why?"
"I can't explain it. It seems like a perfect match, but I always feel like something is wrong."
"What's wrong?"
"have no idea."
Su Xian really didn't know. She didn't like to lie, especially in front of Zuo Yueyao. She answered whatever he asked, and her answers were all from her heart.
"What about you just now?"
"Oh, are you angry because I asked her to take the initiative?" Su Xian felt as if the fog had been cleared and the light had been revealed: "Ah, that was just what I said casually. Besides, Senior Sister has been so sincere to me. Could it be that I told her that my cousin is not suitable for you and you should just give up on this idea? That would hurt her heart so much and I would end up being the culprit who cut off her good marriage. If she really likes you and cannot live without you, then chase her. Whether she can catch you or not is her ability. Besides, even if you don't like him now, you may like him someday. People's ideas don't change."
"The profession of lawyer is very suitable for you." Zuo Yueyao's sudden praise made Su Xian dissatisfied.
"You are not happy when I tell you the truth, so what can I do? In the past, I could climb up the tree and pick some dates to appease you, but there are none here."
Zuo Yueyao was surprised that after all the twists and turns, she was still not happy.
I sighed resignedly, "Are you still mad at me for leaving without saying goodbye back then?"
The topic turned unexpectedly, but it hit Su Xian's heart accurately: "It's impossible not to be angry. You told me that you would leave in the afternoon. That day, I got up earlier than our chickens and picked a big basket of dates for you. But you left when I ran to the village committee. I felt like a fool at that time. Not to mention being angry, I was particularly hateful. How could someone be so heartless and leave without a word? Moreover, after leaving, there was no news from you. Anyone would be unhappy, right?"
"Yeah." Zuo Yueyao listened silently.
"But." Su Xian's mood returned to normal: "It was only those few days, and it was fine afterwards. I thought about it, all good things must come to an end. Besides, you couldn't stay with us forever. We were destined to separate. You were just guests staying there for a few days."
"When I think about it this way, I feel that it's nothing. Besides, at least you asked Uncle Zhao to leave a message saying that you would wait for me at Nanjing University. I think maybe we can meet again in the future."
Su Xian became happier as he spoke: "Look, I really saw him. Although I felt a little strange at first, I don't feel that way anymore. It's like seeing my own relatives. I feel relieved."
"Relatives?"
"hold head high."
The autumn wind is gentle, the shadows of the trees are slender, and the two people walking side by side seem to be covered with a layer of golden glow under the afterglow of the setting sun. At this moment, everything becomes quiet and peaceful.
But under this peace, some people's hearts are experiencing ups and downs.
She was smiling, and he was looking at her smiling. It was such a pleasant scene, but it was also forced to bring out a sense of loss and regret.
Zuo Yueyao sent Su Xian to the dormitory building. He was about to say something but then fell silent. He only said lightly, "Go up."
Su Xian took two steps and then stepped back: "Are you still angry?"
"I'm not angry anymore."
"real?"
"It's fake." Zuo Yueyao said deliberately.
"I took it seriously even if it was fake. Let's go."
Su Xian walked away happily humming a tuneless song, leaving Zuo Yueyao feeling disheveled and helpless in the wind.
When he returned to the dormitory, he saw Ren Shang sitting with his legs crossed and talking on the phone with his girlfriend, saying sweet words all the time. Zuo Yueyao walked over and kicked his stool, signaling him to stay away. When Ren Shang saw this, he just said bye into the phone and hung up.
"What? Did Junior Sister provoke you again?"
"No."
Zuo Yueyao's answer did not convince Ren Shang, who swung his legs nonchalantly, "Don't be so stubborn with me. Let's not talk about other places. In our Nanjing University, besides that guy who flutters around with his hardened wings all day long, who else can make you change your face?"
Zuo Yueyao took off his coat and stood in front of Ren Shang with his long straight legs: "Want a drink?"
"Drink?" Ren Shang pretended to be very confident: "There is nothing here, what can I drink? I am not a bad boy."
Zuo Yueyao personally opened the drawer under Ren Shang's desk, which was full of cans of beer. He took out two cans and handed one to Ren Shang.
Ren Shang laughed frivolously: "I just hid it for two days and you found it. Well, I have to show my cards now. I won't pretend anymore. Here are some peanuts. As much as you can eat."
After the two of them touched each other, Ren Shang did not continue the previous topic. He suddenly thought of what would happen after the festival, so he asked, "By the way, will you compete for the position of vice president of the society after the festival?"
"No."
"Why? You don't want to take such a good opportunity?" Ren Shang originally thought that Zuo Yueyao would definitely apply.
"The professor told me that after the holiday, a hospital has hired him to teach on-site surgery, and he will take us with him. In addition to teaching, there will be a lot of other things to do.
"Wait a minute." Ren Shang grasped the key point: "Who is this guy? He Xinwan?"
It was a well-known fact that He Xinwan liked Zuo Yueyao. It was so well-known that even the professor knew about it. Seeing two people who were of similar age to his own children and were potential pillars of society, he was of course happy to see them succeed and add icing on the cake. So he even reserved two places for them for this study trip.
"I have no right to interfere with the professor's arrangements."
The tone sounded somewhat helpless. Even the eloquent Ren Shang didn't know what to say. He patted Zuo Yueyao on the shoulder and said, "Brother, I have something to say to you. Take care of yourself."
Then he resumed his usual playful laughter: "It's okay if you don't run for election. I've already taken the position of vice chairman."
Just as Zuo Yueyao was about to speak, Ren Shang's phone rang again. He hung up the call. Zuo Yueyao frowned and said, "Take it easy. Aren't you afraid of being exposed?"
The reason for saying this is that Ren Shang's ex-girlfriend contacted him again these two days. After exchanging text messages, they both felt that although the relationship was broken, the threads were still connected, so they started ambiguous contact again. This is not a bad thing, but the bad thing is that Ren Shang has a current girlfriend.
This playboy is having a lot of fun wandering between his ex-girlfriend and his current girlfriend.
"Don't worry, I know my limits. I'm not like you, so stubborn about this kind of thing. Have you heard that saying? When you are happy in life, you should enjoy it to the fullest, and don't let the golden cup face the moon empty."
Zuo Yueyao chuckled: "If Li Bai knew that you used his words here, he would be so angry that he would die."
Ren Shang laughed loudly: "It's my ability to anger him. Anyway, it's time for you to find a girlfriend. You are full of vigor and vitality, so why do you live such a pure and simple life? Hey, what are you thinking? Do you really want to be brother and sister for the rest of your life?"
The empty beer can was pinched between the long fingers and shaken, then slid out in a graceful arc and fell accurately into the trash can beside the door.
“The time has not come yet.”
"Tsk! What's the timing?" Ren Shang had a lewd smile on his face: "Your chaste body is coveted by not only the girls but also me, a grown man."
Instead of the expected word "get out", there was an obsessive teasing voice: "It is said that people get drunk and then have sex, why don't you try it tonight?"
Ren Shang hugged himself tightly, shuddering: "You are worse than an animal! I was wrong, brother!"
When Su Xian returned to the dormitory, he saw He Xinwan was also there, and there were two boxes of snacks on the table. Lu Xiran rarely had any desire for the food.
"My uncle just sent it over. It's from a very famous pastry shop in South City. It's freshly made. Come and try it."
He Xinwan's enthusiasm made Su Xian feel uneasy. She recalled the time when Zuo Yueyao was angry with him, which made her feel upset. She couldn't eat the snack no matter what.
So Su Xian politely refused with the lame excuse that he was still full.
She didn't touch the box of snacks at all. Su Xian didn't know whether He Xinwan would take it to heart, but Su Xian felt relieved. For her, the things given by others were too hot to handle. Although refusing them seemed a bit "ungrateful", she felt at ease.
Of course, the word "others" does not include Zuo Yueyao.
At night, in the same dormitory, Lu Xiran chatted with Su Xian via text messages.
"Why do I feel like Senior Sister is being deliberately nice to you? Could it be that she really thinks you are Senior Brother Zuo's cousin and that's why she loves you too?"
"So rumors are very scary. False information can become true."
"What should we do then? What if she finds out later?"
"What can I do? If she comes, I will fight her. If she comes, I will fight her. She can't eat me."
"What does Senior Brother Zuo think of Senior Sister?"
"How would I know? Go ask your Senior Brother Zuo."
"Forget it. Senior Brother Ren will be the first one to jump out and scold me."
"sleep!"
