"Nobody stays eighteen forever! 18-year-old guys aren’t as handso, mature, or gentle as you! Even if I were 18, I wouldn’t choose an 18-year-old boy. Anyone with eyes would definitely choose you. My eyes aren’t clouded; I’d definitely choose you! Didn’t I choose you at 18?"
Though that was an accident.
"Besides, how are you that much older than ? Is a man five years older than his wife really considered old? Haven’t you heard that a man at thirty is like a flower, while a woman at thirty is like tofu dregs? You’re like a rosebud about to bloom, and I’m a piece of tofu about to expire. I’m not worried, so why are you?"
Rong Yan felt the need to clarify, "I hardly even got a good look at that boy’s face you ntioned. I just saw a soccer ball rolling by my foot and picked it up. You’re the one who returned the soccer ball to him; I didn’t even speak to him. You said he looked at oddly; have you forgotten my profession?"
Li Shengxiao pressed his lips together, still tasting her lingering sweetness on his lips.
That intoxicating kind of sweetness!
"I’ve been in the entertainnt industry; even though I haven’t been active recently, I used to be all over the news. Any fa, even infamy, is attention, and the more infamous I was, the better known I beca. He probably recognized or thought I looked like a celebrity he saw on TV and took a few extra glances. Falling in love isn’t that easy. Even if he is a fan, a fan’s affection for a celebrity isn’t the kind of love you think."
Fans admire celebrities because they either like their type or aspire to live like them.
They admire the idealized version of a celebrity, not the celebrity as a person.
So, admiring a star doesn’t conflict with real-life relationships and marriage.
It’s possible to like a star and also like your own boyfriend.
He said that boy looked at her strangely, as if he liked her. She trusted his keen eye, that he wouldn’t misinterpret it.
That boy was most likely her fan.
"If he really fell for at first sight like you said, he would’ve already co over to ask for my WeChat. By now, he’s nowhere to be seen. Think about it, rember those girls at the bubble tea shop? Didn’t they imdiately ask for your WeChat? Even after you turned them down, they didn’t give up. What does that tell you? It shows they fell for you on the spot and just wanted to get to know you."
It shows those young girls acted on impulse.
Swayed by the allure of Li Shengxiao’s looks.
"That boy didn’t do that, so you’re probably overthinking it."
The restlessness in Li Shengxiao’s heart gradually cald; what she said made so sense, though most of it was just nonsense!
Yet, even her nonsense managed to appease him.
He never realized he was so easily pacified; just a few sweet words from her could make him happy, no matter how bad his mood was.
His eyes twinkled slightly as he held her hand, back to his usual self, "Let’s go; Li Duidui is almost out of school."
They were married, and those little boys who hadn’t grown up properly never used to catch his notice. Today, perhaps seeing her blending in so well on campus with the 18 or 19-year-olds made him unexpectedly sensitive.
"I let his teacher know that we’d be picking him up before I ca."
Rong Yan, "..."
Rong Yan, "?"
Finally, she followed behind him as he went from stormy to sunny in no ti, no longer upset.
How can soone be so infuriated, as if a storm’s about to break, and then act like nothing happened, with the storm clouds clearing to reveal a bright sky?
Yet, a clear sky is far better than looming dark clouds, so she matched his pace and headed toward the teaching building.
