When Zheng Wei returned to the dormitory, she looked around for a long time but didn’t see Ruan Ruan. When she returned, like an excited little tadpole who finally found her mother, she said, pleasantly surprised, “Ruan Ruan, you’ve returned.”
Before she had set in the morning, Ruan Ruan felt as if she was in the Cold War, was made incomprehensible at her sudden passion, she didn’t have time to say anything before she was pulled out of the dormitory by Zheng Wei, “I have a lot of good things to say to you.”
She pulled Ruan Ruan along a small path, running to the statue of Mao Yi Sheng near the Architecture College, not far from the shadowy inside were a pair of Mandarin ducks, the two people sat on the small pedestal and Zheng Wei began to recall what happened that day. Ruan Ruan didn’t interrupt and listened intently, the more she heard, the wider her eyes became, in the end she couldn’t help but say, “Wait up, let me digest this, in short, you mean today, in a day’s time, you’ve liked someone, rejected someone’s love confession and you want to confess to another person?”
Zheng Wei nodded her head naturally, “Yes, what’s wrong?”
Ruan Ruan said, “If I didn’t remember incorrectly, I only didn’t see you for half a day, how did the matter grow tremendously to this stage?”
Zheng Wei was thrown off, “Was it fast, I also don’t know why it would be like this, but I only feel that today is incredibly long, Ruan Ruan, when you were with your Xiao Yong Yong, wasn’t it like this, did you tell him that you liked him like this?”
The “Xiao Yong Yong” that she talked about, naturally was Ruan Ruan’s boyfriend Zhou Shi Yong. Even though Zheng Wei had never met Zhou Shi Yong, she had answered the phone numerous times, and had already become acquainted. Ruan Ruan shook her head, “At that time, things were extremely simple, I didn’t confess to him once, he didn’t either. Like water flowing into a canal, we got together. I say, you’re hateful enough, is Chen Xiao Zheng spooked out?”
Zheng Wei scratched her head and thought of his frightened expression, she laughed, she turned, very serious to Ruan Ruan, “Being so rushed, I do also have a reason, if I don’t say it, how will he know that I like him, he doesn’t know anything at all. I don’t want to be setting myself up for being broken-hearted, and I have to give something for his inner heart to be conflicted about, maybe he pondered these obsessions just like me, and also likes me. Plus, even if he doesn’t like me immediately, in the future he will look at me with different eyes. Before, when he looked at me, he was only looking at a common person, but in the future, he’ll look at me like I’m someone he has emotional entanglements with, how warm will that be, for someone like him, I’m sure this will have the strongest heart impact. Plus, I heard Li Wei Juan say that he has an ‘accurate girlfriend’ by his side, I estimate that the two have had the intent of becoming a couple for a time now, but they’re all playing the game of losing modesty. Under these circumstances, it’s more of a reason why I shouldn’t wait, I must first make my move to become stronger, and then bring disaster with my next move, I will kill all the daring, and starve all the timid people, isn’t this always written in all the novels. These hazy feelings are the more fragile and cannot withstand wind and rain, I will take my strong involvement in the budding stage to stifle this feeling, making them far apart, hopeless in this life! ”
Ruan Ruan listened in admiration as she listed out her analysis, “That’s really crazy enough–the crazier thing is that I actually think what you’re saying is pretty reasonable.”
