(12) Problems caused by birthdays
If he hadn't taken the initiative to say this before, Su Mu wouldn't have been angry, but since he had taken the initiative to say it, he had changed his mind now, and it was the last thing Su Mu wanted to hear, which made Su Mu start to feel unbalanced in his heart. However, Ling Feng acted as if she was very embarrassed, which made Su Mu unable to express her true thoughts.
After all, she also said at the beginning that she wanted to be a gentle and considerate girlfriend, wanted to be more generous than before, tolerate Ling Feng's mistakes more, and wait for him to grow up.
But is it really her unreasonable trouble? In order to accompany Ling Feng to celebrate her birthday, she used up two days of rest at the beginning of the month and went to Haicheng to find him, and in the next month, she worked eleven and a half hours a day, and she did not rest for more than 20 days, and she did not complain. But Ling Feng refused to even come back early at this time because she had to go to class on Monday, was this still her unreasonable?
She couldn't ask Ling Feng to pay as much as she did, but at the very least, she had to see his efforts.
But where is his contribution?
Is it just chatting and playing videos every day?
What else is there besides these?
Su Mu knew that she had to wait, but for more than a month, what she had been waiting for was such a result? More than a month was not enough, so how long was it enough? Would she have to wait for a lifetime?
Although Su Mu was full of resentment, but this time, she didn't say anything, after Ling Feng finished speaking, she chatted with him as if she didn't care at all, which probably meant that she understood this, if Ling Feng was inconvenient, it didn't matter if she didn't come back.
Ling Feng thought that Su Mu would make trouble again, after all, this was Su Mu's first birthday after the two of them were together, he could have gone back, but he didn't go back, Su Mu should be angry, but he didn't expect that Su Mu would behave so calmly, although the ending was very much in line with what he wanted, but he still felt a little lost.
If Su Mu opened his mouth, he might have rushed back, even if he was too lazy to toss, he would go back because of Su Mu's words, but Su Mu didn't speak, but instead realized his understanding, which made him feel as if his existence didn't have much effect.
But he didn't want to go back in the first place, Su Mu had already promised him, why was he still thinking about it here?
If she goes back, will Su Mu feel happy? Will she also have the kind of other girls who behave when they see their long-distance boyfriend hiding from her and going back to help her celebrate her birthday?
Ling Feng, who was "comforted" by Su Mu so lightly, felt that his mood had become worse at this time. On this question, he thought about it for a long time, and even began to wonder if Su Mu had already made arrangements in advance, just waiting for him to say that he would not go back. Otherwise, why would she be angry when other girls were angry, but instead of being angry, she behaved so generously?
Ling Feng was thinking about this, but Su Mu deleted all the screenshots he had left before for the convenience of choosing a train ticket from the camera. In fact, when Ling Feng said that sentence, she had already decided not to go to Ling Feng anymore. After all, Ling Feng obviously didn't care about her feelings, so why did she bother to post it upside down.
She is not the kind of person who likes to take the initiative, Ling Feng knows very well that he could give her gentleness and consideration before, but now he doesn't give it and says that Su Mu wants it but doesn't say it, then since this is the case, Su Mu will never speak again.
So for Su Mu, the two of them are now only one legitimate reason to break up, and as for whether they want to maintain this relationship, Su Mu feels that it is not necessary.
Just let it be, as for paying, she will return as much as Ling Feng gives, and it is impossible for her to do what she did before.
Su Mu is a typical Gemini, his thoughts are changing rapidly, and he is also interested in relationships. She has always focused on feelings, and at this time, Ling Feng can no longer give her the feeling she wants to like, so she will naturally give up. When I like him, I naturally like him, and I want to give him all the best, and I feel that I always think about breaking up and feel indebted to him, so I also double the compensation for him. However, now it seems that some people have not cherished his privileges, and in this case, of course she has the right to take them back.
She has never been afraid of breaking up, gaining and losing are normal experiences in life, what she values most is the process, since Ling Feng can't give her a good love experience, and she doesn't want to be indebted, then the best way is to treat him the way he treats her.
At this time, Su Mu thought very well, but many times, things did not develop according to people's initial intentions. When Su Mu realized this, her whole body had fallen into a very bad state, and Ling Feng's degree of excesses was even deeper than she imagined.
In the days that followed, the two of them lived a long-distance relationship without incident, like other couples, calling and sending messages every day in their free time, occasionally videotaping, and quarrels were not so frequent, more than bits and pieces of trivialities, those principled issues never appeared again, as if the two people had finally come to a normal state of love.
Su Mu didn't know what Ling Feng was thinking, but she knew very well in her heart that this kind of stability was actually not a good thing for them. The love between them is destined to have no peace, and when there are no waves, it is time when both of them don't care at all.
For this kind of result, Su Mu can still face it calmly. After the initial enthusiasm has been worn out, love itself will become unremarkable, and it is good that two people can find novelty together, if they both feel that this is the norm, then the relationship will always dissipate one day. Su Mu didn't want to maintain it anymore, and seeing that Ling Feng was originally going with the flow, it was just a good time to break up.
Maybe it's a reconcilable contradiction, maybe it's someone's sudden intrusion, or maybe it's a family obstacle that has become a problem again, etc., anyway, there is only one possibility between them.
No matter how beautiful the things they fantasized about before, whether they looked forward to the future or not, those things are destined to exist in their minds and will not become an established reality. In the past, Su Mu didn't believe it, no matter who persuaded her to give up, she wanted to give it a try, but now it seems that she had to give up.
Although until now, she didn't know what kind of thoughts Ling Feng had.
But does it still matter?
A few days before Su Mu's birthday, her girlfriends had already begun to shout about how to celebrate her birthday. After several days of confirmation, Su Mu's birthday was divided into four parts, and it was evenly distributed among the four groups of people on time and on point. Of course, there was no Ling Feng among these four batches, and Ling Feng had never asked Su Mu what he was going to do that day.
Of course, Su Mu was disappointed, although she had expected this situation a long time ago, she still didn't want to believe that on such days, Ling Feng could also ignore her affairs. He always said that he wanted Su Mu to believe that he loved her, saying that he didn't know how to take care of girls and didn't pay attention to details, but no matter what the details were, judging from everything he did, Su Mu didn't feel the love he said at all. Maybe it was because the way he loved her was different from the way she understood it, so she couldn't feel it, but then again, shouldn't loving someone be trying to make her feel that he loved her? Even if it is inappropriate, no matter how much she will do it, there is a feeling of love in it, everything is forgivable, but for a long time, these things that Ling Feng has done have been piled together, Su Mu really doesn't think that Ling Feng is worthy of being forgiven.
Soon, Su Mu's birthday arrived, and the two of them chatted until twelve o'clock the night before, and when Ling Feng sent a happy birthday on time, Su Mu received many blessing messages together. Immediately afterwards, Su Mu got up early, chose a beautiful dress, used the most expensive cosmetics to put on the most delicate makeup for her, first went to breakfast with Leduo, watched a movie, and then took the cake specially customized by Leduo for her, and had lunch with her family, and then made an appointment with Nianbei in the afternoon, and after shopping for a while, she went to KFC to sit and chat, and finally took Nianbei and Yuheng to dinner together.
Everything revealed a kind of happiness from the usual, and when Su Mu lay down on the bed in the evening and recalled the experience of the day, he suddenly realized that without Ling Feng's existence, everything seemed to be very complete.
So what exactly did Ling Feng do on this day?
didn't show up until noon, Su Mu couldn't help but call, and was told that he got up late in the morning, and he didn't care about sending a message to Su Mu, so he ran to class, when Su Mu felt wronged, he felt that this was not an important issue, and Su Mu didn't need to show it, so he quarreled with Su Mu, and the last sentence ended with Su Mu saying, "Everyone is celebrating my birthday, everyone is trying their best to make me happy, but only you made me cry once". Of course, Su Mu still forgave him very easily, just like the ending after a quarrel every time he made a mistake. Nothing special happened to the two of them on this day, and the gift that Ling Feng gave her did not arrive on time.
Therefore, there is no shadow of Ling Feng in Su Mu's circle of friends, and it seems that since a long time ago, Su Mu, who is particularly fond of showing affection, has not posted anything about Ling Feng in his circle of friends.
But Ling Feng didn't notice anything abnormal, and he didn't feel anything.
Maybe in his eyes, these are ordinary phenomena, and they have nothing to do with Su Mu's deliberate departure, but in fact, without these, Su Mu would not be so decisive when he left.
All the disappointments are cumulative, and leaving becomes a painful relief.
Having said that, in fact, Su Mu didn't believe the explanation that Ling Feng gave Su Mu that day, but it didn't matter whether she believed it at that time, the important thing was that Ling Feng really ignored her. And Ling Feng took all this for granted, and didn't feel that there was any problem, this was the most difficult thing for Su Mu to accept. Because there are many things that can be deduced from this, that is to say, when many Su Mu think that Ling Feng has hurt him, Ling Feng doesn't feel that he won't take this kind of injury seriously, he will only feel that Su Mu is making trouble unreasonably and asking excessively, so he struggles and resists more and more, and then continues to do things that hurt Su Mu without care.
For Su Mu, a large part of the damage was caused by Ling Feng like this. She never thought that her patience, her tolerance, and her compromise would all be used by Ling Feng as a tool to hurt her in the end. For many sleepless nights, Su Mu would keep asking herself why she could allow Ling Feng to do such a thing to him, and even these things happened when she knew that Ling Feng no longer loved her and wanted to give up. But until the day he left, Su Mu didn't think about this answer clearly.
Perhaps, she would never know the answer in her life, just as she would never be able to truly understand Ling Feng.
Maybe it was because he was educated by Su Mu, after Su Mu went home in the evening, Ling Feng seemed a lot more enthusiastic than before. Although Su Mu was very happy about this, there was no fluctuation in his heart. At that moment, Su Mu felt as if he was acting in a TV series, playing a role that he couldn't live without Ling Feng, and his real self was watching from the sidelines in this body, pinching his fingers and calculating when the two of them would break up because of what kind of contradictions.
Su Mu felt a little guilty at first that he had such an idea, because no matter what, no matter whether Ling Feng liked him or not, he didn't have any idea of breaking up, and even no matter how fierce they quarreled, he didn't mention this matter. Compared to Ling Feng, Su Mu really didn't do it well, so even if Su Mu was coping, he behaved the same as before, nothing had changed, and Ling Feng didn't find anything wrong. However, Su Mu thought, even if Ling Feng found out, there was actually nothing, with Ling Feng's character, how much calculation he had in this relationship, he knew very well in his own heart, maybe he was also calculating, how to use the least effort to enjoy all the good of Su Mu, and then he could push the responsibility aside, even if he left, he would be relaxed.
After all, this kind of thing is time-limited, and if he can understand this truth, Su Mu should also understand it. This kind of thing is tacit, and there is no need to say it to embarrass both of them.
