Chapter 35 No need to weigh the pros and cons
For Tang Yuchen, he never thought that he would stumble on the road of love. He also never thought that he would become extremely irritable because a girl ignored him or even blocked him on WeChat.
.
Even during class, it was much colder than usual.
"Is the professor in a bad mood these days? It feels like his whole body is surrounded by low pressure. I didn't understand several physics questions and... I didn't dare to look for him."
"That's right, I feel the same. When he was in class, it was like we owed him a lot of money."
The classmates were talking a lot, and I don’t know who said: "Huh? Why didn't the girl named Song Zhiyi come to listen to the professor's class last time?"
"Oh, yes, I haven't seen her for a long time," a girl poked at Zhou Feifei, who was playing with her mobile phone, and asked, "Why didn't that friend of yours come?"
Zhou Feifei simply replied: "She will never come again."
Only then did the melon-eaters on the side react and made a very bold guess——
Is it possible that the professor broke up with that girl and is feeling sad these days because of his broken love?
In this class, all the students present did not dare to take a breath, so they could only take notes seriously. In the last class, because a person accidentally distracted in class, he was called out by Tang Yuchen and did not answer the question correctly. Professor Tang asked him to
I wrote a thousand-word review.
After class, Zhou Feifei was called to the office by Tang Yuchen.
Tang Yuchen sat in front of the huge desk, looked at Zhou Feifei who was standing nervously in front of him, and tried to calm down his mood: "How is she lately?"
Only then did Zhou Feifei realize that the professor was asking her about Song Zhiyi's situation instead of scolding her for not doing her homework well this time.
Zhou Feifei pursed her lips. She was a little confused between her best friend and Professor Tang, who was worried about whether she would fail the class. She didn't know who to help.
"Song Zhiyi..." Zhou Feifei hesitated, "She's pretty good."
"Then what has she been doing recently?"
Zhou Feifei frowned and thought for a moment: "She seems to be going to an art exhibition with her friends recently. I don't know what it is, but that's what she told me that day."
Zhou Feifei only gave a vague general idea, after all, she would be able to catch rain and dew in this way. In fact, Song Zhiyi told her that the junior high school student invited her to see the art exhibition at Hailu Fort and go out to relax.
"Well, you can go," Tang Yuchen lowered his eyes and waved, "Thank you."
Tang Yuchen frowned and leaned on the office chair, closing his eyes. All that came to his mind was Song Zhiyi, and his thoughts were gradually drawn back to the night he had a drink with Gu Liyan.
These days, he always goes to bed early and gets up early, but there is no day without insomnia. Every night when he has insomnia, he will stand on the balcony of the living room, smoking one cigarette after another.
Gu Liyan could naturally see that something was wrong with Tang Yuchen. After being brothers for so many years, plus he and Zhou Feifei had been worrying about Song Zhiyi and Tang Yuchen these days, he naturally knew what Tang Yuchen was worried about.
So late one night, Gu Liyan bought a box of beer from outside and moved it to the balcony. He sat directly opposite Tang Yuchen, opened the box, took out a can of beer and handed it to Tang Yuchen.
"Let me tell you," Gu Liyan opened the can, took a sip, and went straight to the topic without saying anything else, "You obviously know that others like you, and you like them yourself, but you are so stubborn that you don't admit it."
Tang Yuchen held the can in his hand, raised his head and drank all the wine, his eyes dim and dull: "I don't know what I think."
Gu Liyan smiled faintly and drank the wine in his hand: "How could you not know? Everyone can tell that you like her."
Before Tang Yuchen could speak, Gu Liyan interrupted Tang Yuchen directly, as if he was complaining about Tang Yuchen's confusing behavior: "I don't understand it either. The little girl confessed to you, and you like her but you still reject her. This kind of thing is true to me.
First time meeting."
"I didn't want to reject her," Tang Yuchen took out a can of beer from the box at his feet and opened it, "It's just that she was drunk at that time..."
He was afraid that she would not admit it when she woke up.
He was also afraid that she would run away.
But he didn't expect that Song Zhiyi thought he was rejecting her.
Gu Liyan shook his head, looked at Tang Yuchen who was suffering from love in front of him, and sighed: "Since you didn't answer her at that time, the little girl must have thought that you were avoiding the topic. Avoiding is rejection."
But now it seems that the person he is running away from is himself.
Tang Yuchen rubbed the mouth of the jar with his fingertips, and his tone was full of helplessness: "But... I still had a lot of things to consider at that time."
As they were also people who hung out in the business district, Gu Liyan didn't need Tang Yuchen to say anything to understand what he was thinking about.
But these considerations were completely unnecessary in Gu Liyan's eyes.
Gu Liyan looked at Tang Yuchen: "I know what you are thinking about. It's just that you haven't known each other for a long time, and the most important thing is that she only knows you with one identity."
Tang Yuchen met Gu Liyan's eyes, and after a long time he said in a low voice: "You are right, I'm afraid she can't accept me in another identity. She may like 'Professor Tang Yuchen' instead of 'Little Mr. Tang'"
'."
Tang Yuchen lit another cigarette. I don’t know how many cigarettes he had smoked tonight. He slowly stood up and looked at the endless dark night outside. His tone was full of helplessness: "Sooner or later, I have to go back
The company cannot escape this identity, but you also know that the business district is very chaotic."
He was really afraid that he wouldn't be able to protect Song Zhiyi when the time came.
"Tang Yuchen," Gu Liyan walked up to Tang Yuchen and looked sideways at him, "When did you become so cowardly?"
cowardly?
Tang Yuchen frowned and turned to look at Gu Liyan. He didn't quite accept this kind of word being used on him.
Gu Liyan met Tang Yuchen's confused gaze and patted his shoulder: "You are not the Tang Yuchen I know. What was the Tang Yuchen afraid of before? You just did the threatening physics experiment. At that time, you could do whatever you wanted, a little bit.
Without any reason, you can make a career no matter what you do. Why do you feel like you can't do it well now? Why do you become a weakling when it comes to relationships? "
Tang Yuchen just smoked silently and listened quietly to Gu Liyan, the "Women's Friend", who talked endlessly. It seemed that he had indeed begun to become cowardly and cautious. He no longer had the tendency to ignore the consequences of doing anything and just wanted to work hard.
Do a good job.
Gu Liyan continued: "You have to know that she may not have thought so much. She just likes you, not the so-called Professor Tang or Mr. Tang. She only likes Tang Yuchen who appears in front of her."
"Whether you are Professor Tang or Mr. Tang, in the final analysis it is you Tang Yuchen."
"Tang Yuchen, just fall in love with her if you like her. Why do you care so much? Why are you afraid? Why are you so sure that you can't protect her? Have you lost your confidence? Or are you afraid?"
Gu Liyan's continuous question marks made Tang Yuchen lower his eyes, as if he was thinking about the questions he raised.
But no matter how much he thought, he couldn't come up with an answer.
He has no answers to these questions.
"Or do you want to watch the girl you like follow someone else?"
Speaking of this, Tang Yuchen's heart twitched uncontrollably. When he thought of the day when Lu Xiwen said he liked Song Zhiyi in front of him, he felt indescribably irritated.
He couldn't imagine how sad or painful he would feel when he watched Song Zhiyi being with someone other than him.
"Actually, you haven't lost your confidence at all, so how can you be afraid? Tang Yuchen, I have only one answer to these questions, that is, you have been paralyzing yourself with various reasons, and you have been weighing the pros and cons."
"But, Tang Yuchen, you know, there is no need to weigh the pros and cons for things like feelings."
That night, Tang Yuchen and Gu Liyan chatted a lot on the balcony, and the box of wine was quickly consumed without a drop left.
It was that night that Tang Yuchen finally figured out that no matter who he was, maybe it wasn't very important to Song Zhiyi.
Gu Liyan is right, relationships don't need to weigh the pros and cons.
If you like her, get her, instead of paralyzing yourself and escaping from your heart with various reasons like now.
Tang Yuchen opened his eyes suddenly, and gently touched the bracelet on his left arm with his right hand. He stared straight at the Cromi watch he placed in front of the bookshelf on the table, not knowing what he was thinking.
...
"Senior, I'm so busy these days, I don't have much time to look at my phone," Lu Xiwen explained to Song Zhiyi while sitting in the waiting room, "I happened to see this art exhibition the day before yesterday and wanted to make an appointment with senior."
Song Zhiyi looked at her phone and replied to Li's message, and nodded: "I'm also very interested in this art exhibition, so I came out to relax."
Being interested in art exhibitions is fake, but being distracted is real.
Lu Xiwen was very happy to hear Song Zhiyi's answer: "Really? It seems that my senior sister and I are very close to each other."
Lu Xiwen cast his gaze on Song Zhiyi's wrist, looked at the white crystal bracelet, and said, "Senior sister, I noticed that this bracelet of yours looks similar to what Professor Tang is wearing."
Song Zhiyi's hand paused when replying to the message. She looked at the bracelet on her hand and then remembered that night when she was drunk and confessed her love but was rejected. She licked the corner of her mouth uncomfortably and awkwardly gave Lu Xiwen a smile:
"Ah? Really? What a coincidence."
Haven't you ever thought that the string in Professor Tang's hand was also a gift from her?
"I also want to buy a bracelet," Lu Xiwen said thoughtfully. "When we were having supper that day, I specifically asked Professor Tang where he bought this bracelet."
Song Zhiyi still couldn't help but ask: "Then what did he say?"
Lu Xiwen said truthfully: "Professor Tang said it was given by someone. I think it was given by someone very important to him, otherwise he wouldn't have worn it during the experiment."
A gift from someone very important to him...
He was still wearing that bracelet when he was doing experiments...
Is she important to him?
But if she was so important to him, why would he reject her?
Could it be that...he likes men?
Song Zhiyi bit her lip and told herself not to think about Tang Yuchen all the time because of such things. She had to learn to forget him.
"Oh, by the way, senior, how about we go try the lobster from Sea and Land Fort first and then go to the art exhibition?"
Song Zhiyi smiled and nodded: "I can do it, it's up to you."
In the afternoon, the quiet sunlight shone through the transparent glass of the waiting room and fell on Song Zhiyi, who was looking at her mobile phone. Lu Xiwen raised the corners of his mouth.
In his opinion, although Song Zhiyi didn't talk much or talk to him about topics, and he was mostly looking for various topics, Lu Xiwen would still be moved by her inadvertent every move, and he would still be like the first one.
I was so moved when I met her at Z University.
