Explicit refusal
"He said: 'Can't you see I like you?'"
Zhao Shuiguang really didn't know what to say, he just thought that this Yang was too cunning. If he hadn't made it clear, she would have been fine with just chatting and joking around, but now the situation is awkward for her.
"Zhao Shuiguan, let's talk. 8 o'clock tonight, at the empty lot behind the library. That's all." He hung up the phone without waiting for her response.
Zhao Shuiguang stood there dazedly until Yangyang slapped her palm: "What are you thinking about?"
Zhao Shuiguan hung up the phone and said, "Nothing's wrong." Teng Yang didn't say whether this matter should be told to others or not, but Zhao Shuiguan thought that for someone as competitive as him, it was better not to mention this kind of thing.
At eight o'clock in the evening, the small lawn behind the library is a famous lover's place, and every university will have such a classic place.
Zhao Shuiguang was dragged here early in the morning and never came again. The whole way here was a bit awkward.
Teng Yang was sitting on the stone railing by the small river, saw Zhao Shui Guang coming over, jumped down, and a doll-like face under the streetlight smiled so brightly that it seemed to bring down the stars.
Zhao Shuiguang thought to himself that he hadn't seen such a character in his university days, but it's better to just take a look at good-looking things.
She took a step back and said: "Sorry, I already have someone I like."
Teng Yang's eyes sparkled as he looked at her and smiled, "I knew you'd say that, but the people in your dorm said you haven't gotten together with him yet, right? I also don't see you looking like someone with a boyfriend."
Zhao Shuiguang really wanted to rush back to the dormitory and kick that big mouth flying, but he still said reasonably: "I have someone I like, how do you know we're not together? Besides, whether or not we're together, I don't plan on being with anyone right now, sorry."
She can't say: My current boyfriend is just talking about books and teachers. I'm suffocating, but thinking about it, it's also the path I chose myself, so I have to stick with it.
Teng Yang lowered his head, and Zhao Shui Guang stood by the river, blown by the wind until his head was numb, thinking that things were over, just about to turn back, but Teng Yang suddenly shouted: "Zhao Shui Guang"
She turned around, and the boy smiled. The dimples on his right cheek were intoxicatingly deep, but the persistence in his eyes was unyieldingly strong. He said: "I don't mind if you have someone you like. At our age, who wouldn't have someone they like? Anyway, think about it and tell me later."
Turn around and leave.
Zhao Shuiguang was truly stunned and stood still, she had also heard that in college, many couples were dating while having boyfriends or girlfriends back home, with both parties claiming not to mind. Zhao Shuiguang really thought it was unbelievable, how could you like someone and not be jealous? Love isn't a stable triangle!
Back in the dormitory, this matter can only be endured by myself.
It wasn't until several days later that I found out the traitor was Peng Xiaoxiao. Who would have thought her boyfriend came from Tong Yang's dormitory? It really is a strange and wonderful world, and it turned out that when we met in class that day, a seed had indeed sprouted and bloomed.
Wuxi girls always say "gao xing zen me yang" (what's the fun in that) and "bu gao xing zen me yang" (what's not fun in that) when doing anything.
Zhao Shuiguang was really disoriented at first. For example, he said to Peng Xiaoxiao: "Pengpeng, do you want to go have lunch?"
Peng Xiaoxiao said: "Just got out of class, there are a lot of people, don't feel like going now."
Zhao Shuiguan is used to speaking directly in Nanjing dialect, really doesn't understand, eating a meal still has happy or not happy, not happy then don't eat today?
At first, I felt uncomfortable, but after listening for a while, I realized that's just how people talk.
Jiangsu is a province where people speak in vastly different ways. For example, the phrase "today's weather is very hot" has typical variations in expression.
"Nanjing people say: 'Geez, why is this weather so hot?' interrogative tone"
Changzhou people say: "It's so hot!" in a three-tone pitch.
Suzhou people say: "Today is hot!" (in a rising tone)
It can only be learned in college!
So, Zhao Shuiguan and her dormitory have been celebrating for the past few days. With a new boyfriend in office, of course, they had to serve the whole dormitory, eating, singing KTV was inevitable, and there were also midnight snacks at night. Zhao Shuiguan had to attend, which made things very awkward, but Teng Yang acted as if nothing was wrong, but secretly and openly treated Zhao Shuiguan with meticulous care.
The girls' dormitory turned off the lights and had endless things to talk about. Yang said, "Zhao Shuiguan, you'd better take care of Tengyang quickly."
Xu Ying also said: "Look at Peng Peng, breakfast is delivered by someone, water is carried by someone, how good."
Zhao Shuiguang said: "Alright, alright, you want to recruit another laborer, don't mention it. Go to sleep."
Covering himself with the quilt, Zhao Shuiguan had thought about it before. If in his third year of high school, he hadn't met Tan Shumeng, what would have happened? But without Tan Shumeng, there wouldn't be the current him, and thinking this way was an insult to Tan Shumeng.
University couples were originally ignorant of subtlety, and at that time, love was not enough to declare to the world. Zhao Shuiguan saw the scene, not without fantasizing, someone eating together in the cafeteria, fetching water together, attending night self-study together, and holding hands while strolling on campus as if no one else existed. But she told herself that since she chose to be with Tan Shumeng, she had to learn to cherish what she already had. Tan Shumeng gave her love that was nine years older than herself, and what she could repay him with was naturally different. Zhao Shuiguan's love story was worth mentioning!
Whether it's dating or doing things, the most important thing is to be able to bear loneliness!
Zhao Shuiguang's patience with Yang finally exploded on a dark and windy night, and it was strange that Zhao Shuiguang's phone really ran out of battery. He hated it so much that he couldn't help but curse! He thought to himself, "I'll just go home in two days and recharge my card then."
After a while, the mobile phone vibrated. Upon opening it: Dear Mobile Customer, ... (automatically truncated above characters), your mobile phone has been successfully recharged with 50 yuan.
Zhao Shuiguang felt strange and sent a text message to Tan Shumeng: Did you just call me?
After a while, Tan Shu Mo returned: "No, what's up?"
This person usually sends very short messages, so Zhao Shuiguan knew it wasn't him who sent it. He replied: "Nothing, just asking."
Zhao Shuiguan knew that Tan Shumeng had money, but as for Zhao Shuiguan's character, she never took the initiative to ask for anything. She always thought that Tan Shumeng having money was his own business. When it comes to emotional matters, once they involve money, things become ambiguous.
Although Zhao Shuiguan herself had never experienced such things, she still knew a thing or two about them.
Zhao Shuiguang leaned on the table and thought, was it really a pie that fell from the sky?
Later, the murderer took the bait, "Can you receive text messages? Teng Yang."
Zhao Shuiguang didn't say another word and dialed the phone: "Teng Yang? You come downstairs in five minutes, I have something to tell you."
Took out 30 yuan in cash from wallet, borrowed 20 from Xu Ying, and rushed downstairs.
For the first time, Zhao Shuiguan waited under the boys' dormitory building and felt a bit embarrassed. The boys kept coming and going, looking back at him from time to time. In most cases, it was the boys who waited under the girls' building, this thing was rare.
After a while, Teng Yang came over, and Zhao Shuiguan didn't say anything. The two of them walked for a bit, and there were fewer people around.
Zhao Shuiguan turned his head and said: "Teng Yang, thank you, but I can't take this money." He handed the money back to him.
Teng Yang was also a temperamental child, glancing sideways and saying: "I don't want it, I helped you recharge and that's it, don't return it to me, don't lose it." His usual smiling face was now tightly pursed.
Zhao Shuiguang was a bit angry and said: "This is not money!" He grabbed his hand and stuffed it into his palm.
"Bitter to the heart, I'm still saying the same thing. I have someone I like and I'm with him. This kind of thing doesn't need anyone's approval or not, believe it or not, it's up to you. Also, think carefully, do you really like me? At first, maybe you thought I was stronger, or perhaps you thought I was a bit clever so you noticed me, but is that liking someone? At least for me, I don't think so."
It's ironic that some people like you because you don't like them, and what can't be obtained is always the best. In fact, she understands that with Yang's proud and arrogant personality, it's possible to be this way.
Perhaps Teng Yang wasn't what she thought he was, but Zhao Shui Guang didn't want to think about it. In her life, meeting a kindred spirit like Book Ink made everyone else just passing travelers.
Heng Yang turned his face, looking at the girl. Her face was very fair in the moonlight, her features were not particularly striking, but they were extremely harmonious when put together. A pair of eyes with a dynamic glow, wasn't he just being captivated by such eyes at that moment?
————————————————————————————————————
When we were young, we always fantasized that one day someone would stand in front of us, look into our eyes and say "I like you." We longed to be liked by many people. What we didn't know back then was that being liked isn't necessarily a happy thing, unrequited feelings can't be repaid, and words of rejection no matter how kindly spoken are always hurtful.
