Chapter 492: Chapter 493 Hateful and Cruel Gentle?
If Ziyuan really knew how to resent, then she, who was constantly bullied and treated unfairly by other people when she was young, would have beco a cynical person already.
“I won’t tell you the reason, so please stop asking this question in the future,” Ziyuan said quietly, “It’s reasonable for Yuan Yuan to hate . I can understand her feelings, so don’t scold her again when you go back. Xiao Nan, rember, Yuan Yuan is the person who cares about you the most in this world. You have to love her and cherish her.”
“I know… But don’t you bla her?” I was curious what she would answer, but unfortunately, I couldn’t hear the answer I wanted.
“I don’t know…”
Just like Ziyuan said that she understood Chu Yuan’s feelings, I seed to understand Ziyuan’s feelings at this mont. After all, because of Chu Yuan’s fault, our relationship stagnated for five years, and we suffered for five years…
“It’s my turn to ask you a question,” Ziyuan sat upright, staring into my eyes with tears in her eyes, “Five years ago, if you could reply to , what would your answer be?”
I closed my eyes, and after a mont, I said the correct answer, “I won’t tell you. If you really want to know, just exchange it by telling all your secrets to .”
My sly answer was only to cover up my helplessness, Ziyuan would certainly not tell all her secrets, so I didn’t need to answer this question that would hurt her anyway.
“I knew you would say that…” Ziyuan was not surprised, but she did sothing that surprised . She suddenly leaned toward and kissed my lips gently.
I was stunned. Just when I was about to ask her why she wanted to do this, Ziyuan had already pressed her index finger on my lips. “Xiao Nan, don’t be so gentle,” she said softly, “This gentleness has already hard at least two people, one is and the other is Yuan Yuan… It’s really hateful!” After that, she opened the door and ran off.
I was dazed. I didn’t even know when the car had stopped.
Hateful gentleness…? It should be better than direct harm, right?
Five years ago, the question that Ziyuan wrote in the letter left at a loss for a long ti. It was a question that was still clearly engraved in my mind: Will you co to the United States to take back to be your bride?
Innocent, yet serious. This was the real Ziyuan.
Girls’ visions of the future were always full of fantasies, but I could never have that kind of fantasy… For a student who had just graduated from high school, the United States was too far away. For a virgin who didn’t fully understand what love was, marriage was also too far away.
Although vague and obscure, there was already the word ‘responsibility’ in the concept of ‘bride’. Can I take on the responsibility of taking care of Ziyuan for the rest of her life? At that ti, I was troubled by this.
At this point, if I told her that I had never liked her, then she would’ve wasted her courageous confession and five years of her ti waiting for for nothing. But if I told her that I once wanted to give her a promise, then what about Liusu? My feelings for Ziyuan would only cause harm to two won in the end, not to ntion… I had no confidence in handling this feeling. Otherwise, my relationship with Mo Fei would not be so entangled.
Life is always making so funny jokes with us, so that we can learn sothing from those jokes. If love was not perfect, it might not be a bad thing to leave a trace of sweetness as a mory. At least, I rembered her ‘innocence’ while she rembered my ‘gentleness’… But to , this was complete nonsense. We just forced ourselves to smile in the bitterness and reluctantly accept it.
“Sad…” The driver suddenly said this word after seeing Ziyuan running away.
I barely raised the corners of my mouth and asked, “What is sad?”
“I don’t know,” the driver looked at in the rearview mirror and said, “Man, your face also has sadness written on it.”
I touched my stiff face and asked with an awkward smile, “Really?”
This taxi driver was really talkative, and the way he spoke was a bit like a philosopher. “What you saw on her face was what she saw on your face. You two may think that you are able to fool each other, but it is very clear to an outsider like … Buddy, I hope you won’t mind for talking too much. I don’t know what happened between you, but I can roughly figure out a little. Isn’t it the thing between a man and two won? Why are you so unfeeling? What’s wrong with that girl? If you two didn’t like each other, I would probably just keep silent. But clearly, you two like each other, so why do you have to refuse her? It is really a sha. Nowadays, many people are in multiple relationships, so it is really not a big deal. At worst, you just don’t let that Yuan Yuan girl find out.”
Don’t let Yuan Yuan find out… I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. This driver brother had completely misunderstood… But the word “unfeeling” he said really hurt . Was my gentleness actually really cruel like what Ziyuan said?
When I got ho, I saw Liusu, Dong Xiaoye, and Dongfang Lianren sitting silently in the living room. The table had been cleared. The moods of the three of them were obviously affected, all of them had cold faces.
I smiled and asked, “What’s the matter? What are all you doing with a cold face? Have you eaten?”
Dongfang replied, “We have…”
It was an obvious lie. It would only be strange if they still had the mood to eat after that. However, I didn’t expose it. I jokingly said, “So the food wasn’t delicious? Look at you all, each of you looks like you had food poisoning…”
“Can you be serious?” Dong Xiaoye glared at and said irritably, but her expression was a lot more relieved. I knew they were just worried about .
Liusu stood up and said, “Nan Nan, are you okay?”
“Why would I not be okay?” I pretended to be dumb and asked, making Liusu flustered. She asked, “Where… where is Ziyuan?”
“I sent her ho.” I chuckled and said, “I didn’t expect that she is living with Min Rou now.”
“Really…” Liusu and Dong Xiaoye were a little surprised.
Liusu asked, “Is she okay?”
“Mhm.”
“Oh,” Liusu breathed a sigh of relief, and said, “Then I’m going back too. I didn’t go ho yesterday. My cousin has already called several tis to urge .”
“Okay, let send you ho.”
“No need. Sister Xiaoye will drive . You have been busy all day, so you can rest early,” Liusu paused and said, “If you have anything to say, we can talk about it in the company tomorrow.”
I nodded. “It’s better for to send you ho. Her toes are swollen like carrots. It’s not safe.”
“Are you worried about or are you worried about her?” Dong Xiaoye lifted up her foot and said in a huff, “Are you blind? Which of my toes looks like a carrot? It’s no longer swollen, okay? Besides, what does my swollen toes have to do with stepping on the accelerator and brake? I have to drive her ho today. I’ll show you how safe it is!”
I knew Dong Xiaoye had seen through . She knew that I was pretending to be fine, so she was worried about … In the end, I compromised. “Okay, okay, you can drive her ho. Just be careful on the road, okay?”
“I have more driving experience than you, alright? Do I need you to remind ?” Dong Xiaoye didn’t give a bit of face, and every word she said seed to want to pick a fight with . However, I knew that she just didn’t know how to comfort , so she tried to ease my mood with her usual way of communicating, but… This seed to have an adverse effect on my mood.
There were too many girls in my flat now, my status in my place was getting lower and lower…
After I sent Liusu downstairs, she reminded again while sitting in the car, “Nan Nan, you are not allowed to scold Yuan Yuan after you go back, do you understand? If you have anything to say to her, just talk to her. She may act like a wayward kid, but most of the ti, she is still very sensible… What happened tonight, I don’t think it was Yuan Yuan’s fault.”
From Liusu’s expression, I clearly felt her jealousy and hostility toward Ziyuan. I knew she was feeling very uncomfortable in her heart, so I tried to confront her. “Don’t worry, have you ever seen hit her and scold her before?”
Dong Xiaoye interjected, “If he dares to scold Yuan Yuan, I will definitely kick him to death!”
“Kick to death?” I choked her back, “You didn’t learn your lesson yesterday?”
“You—” Dong Xiaoye’s face suddenly flushed.
Liusu didn’t know that Dong Xiaoye’s toes were injured by kicking in the crotch. She always thought it was because her new shoes were too tight. So she didn’t understand our conversation and frowned. “What lesson? Nan Nan, did you bully Sister Xiaoye?”
“No, don’t listen to his nonsense. If he wants to bully , he has to wait until he has that ability. Ahem… I an, we should go now, otherwise, your cousin will call you again…” Dong Xiaoye started the car quickly, turned on the lights, and put the car in gear. While doing that, she also gave a look of ‘I will deal with you later’. Then she quickly drove the car away for fear that I would tell Liusu that stupid thing she did.
Seeing this, I couldn’t help smiling and then went upstairs.
