Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
At this mont, i Shu suddenly felt that she didn’t really understand Chu Rui.
She took a deep breath and tried to stay calm first. Then, she asked calmly, “What do you think my past is like?”
Chu Rui thought that she had taken his words seriously. He relaxed and patted her shoulder to comfort her. “You were sent to the countryside alone since you were young. They all look down on us growing up in the countryside. It’s fine if I’m a boy. It’s not a big deal that my past is known. As long as 1 do well, there will be many girls who are willing to be with .”
“But you’re different. Your grades are diocre and you’re not doted on at ho. You might not even be able to find a boyfriend in the future. Don’t expect soone like Lu Si to marry you.”
i Shu finally understood what he ant.
i Shu had thought that Chu Rui was a ray of light that illuminated her dark life, but now she only felt that Chu Rui was pathetic.
What career could a person, who couldn’t even face his own background and felt self-inferior to his bones, achieve?
He was destined to be trapped by the label he created for himself, forever unable to beco an independent individual. He could only rely on the gaze of others, caring about and depending on their opinions to sustain his world.
“What are you laughing at?” Chu Rui was very puzzled.
What he said to her was heartfelt.
It would be fine if she didn’t want to listen, but why did she have to put on such a sarcastic smile?
It was just like when he first ca to university, the people holding the suitcases were laughing at the only sack he had.
i Shu shook his head and suddenly looked up at Chu Rui. He said word by word, “I thought you swore to leave that poor ravine because of your ambition.
I didn’t expect you to look down on the countryside from the bottom of your heart. Then who bought this school bag for you? What are the villagers who used to treat you well and help you?”
Hearing this, Chu Rui subconsciously clenched the straps of his bag, feeling a sense of humiliation.
“They voluntarily pooled money for ! My family doesn’t lack this! Without them, my father would still buy a good one!”
Indeed, even though these words were a little ugly, i Shu had to admit that Chu Rui was right.
His father was the village leader, and his family was not short of money.
However, the village that seed to have been forgotten in the corner of the map lacked talents like Chu Rui.
The villagers looked at him as if they had seen hope.
On the day Chu Rui got into college, the people in the village were all cheering and spreading the news. Everyone ca to congratulate the only university student who had erged from the village.
Even i Shu, who had wanted to say congratulations, couldn’t squeeze through the crowd.
Watching from the side, she was genuinely happy for Chu Rui.
The people in the small villages were not rich, but they still took out their best dishes and tried their best to send them to Chu Rui’s house, just to let Chu Rui eat more good food so that he wouldn’t suffer when he left the village in the future.
Later, the villagers even spontaneously gathered money to buy the best school bag they could buy in the town and personally gave it to Chu Rui’s father.
At that ti, there was only restraint in Chu Rui’s eyes.
i Shu didn’t understand his emotions at that ti and was only happy for him.
But now she understood everything.
Chu Rui wasn’t touched.
He was clearly feeling ashad.
They all hoped that the village would be seen by more people because of Chu Rui and not continue to be abandoned in the corner.
But they might never have thought that soone would use the good things they gave him but still despise them who grew up in the sa place as him.
“I see. So that’s what you’ve been thinking.” i Shu nodded in understanding. “I didn’t hear you say so much until today. Chu Rui, 1 think we should get to know each other again.”
“What do you an? Did 1 say anything wrong? I’m doing this for your own good! You know that in our school, students have already been divided into different levels! My results are good, so 1 don’t have to worry about anything, but you are different. When you go to university, you will know how big the gap between you and others is! This is a very realistic problem! Don’t continue to dream of being a princess so naively!”
Chu Rui wholeheartedly believed that i Shu had lost her mind after returning ho, which was why she beca involved with Lu Si.
He considered himself an impartial observer and could see that IVLei Shu’s situation in university would definitely not be better than his own. That’s why, thinking about their childhood friendship, he wanted to remind her at this mont not to harbor unrealistic hopes to avoid future disappointnts.
“Then 1 really have to thank you?” i Shu smiled sarcastically, and the enthusiasm in her eyes degenerated into indifference. “Are you done? You can sleep here tonight. I won’t send you off tomorrow. We’d better not et again.”
“What did you say?” Chu Rui grabbed her hand in disbelief and shouted at her at the top of his lungs, “Are you going to cut ties with because of soone else?”
