Chapter 261: Diverting Contradictions
Tang Jiang's sudden hug made Chen An's action of washing the dishes stiff for a moment.
Then, as usual, he continued to wash the dishes, and said, "Is it too much time now?"
Tang Jiang glanced at him and said angrily: "You think I'm you, I'm always thinking about something indecent in my head." β
"Oh, I thought you saw me as much as I saw you. β
Tang Jiang: "......"
Although she is already an old husband and wife, she still can't resist Chen An's direct words.
"Your kidneys are made of iron?"
Tang Jiang said, pinching Chen An's waist.
"I haven't exercised much lately, I've gained weight. β
Chen An's movements did not stop, skillfully washing the dishes, and said: "It's true that I don't exercise much, I have a lot of things to do every day, and the weather is cold, so I don't want to go up early." β
"Is it hard?"
"It's not hard work, but I've been preparing for my final exams recently, and learning English is the most painful thing. β
"Aren't you good at English?"
In Tang Jiang's memory, Chen An's every subject is quite good.
"I haven't studied for too long, and I forget. Let's see if Lin Mengchu can help me tutor, I want to change my major next year. β
Chen An didn't hide his thoughts from Tang Jiang, and he has been walking around with Lin Mengchu a lot recently, which can be regarded as him vaguely reporting.
Between me and Lin Mengchu, it was innocent.
"What do you want to change?"
"For the time being, I'm thinking about jurisprudence. β
"Eh, then if you change your major, will you become classmates with Lin Mengchu?"
"I don't know, depending on the situation, this kind of thing is not my decision. β
The two chatted, and Chen An also washed the dishes, and after placing them, he wiped the water on his hands.
Tang Jiang grabbed Chen An's hand, which was a little icy.
"Keep warm in my pocket. β
Tang Jiang took Chen An's hand and put it in his pocket, one on the left and one on the left.
Chen An hugged her in his arms, this posture was a little awkward, but Chen An didn't mind.
"Wait, how about we go for a walk outside?"
It's Christmas, and the evening may not be as lively as last night, but there will still be a festive atmosphere.
"It's not too early. β
"It's okay, we don't have to come back in the evening. β
"Then, call Yaoyao together?"
"No, sometimes, I just want to be with you. β
Chen An said this without pause.
Actually, there is something in his words, and if he could, he would certainly like to be able to have all three of them together instead of leaving one of them behind.
But Chen An knew that whether it was Han Yao or Tang Jiang, they would all want to have a time that only belonged to two people.
It's just that they are all restrained and don't speak.
So, let him say it himself.
Chen An felt that he had grown.
In the past, he might not be able to say such things calmly and freely, just to make Tang Jiang happy.
Before, he would have been a little more realistic.
"Alright then......"
Tang Jiang nodded in agreement.
So, Chen An changed into a thicker dress, took out a scarf from the cabinet, and wrapped it around Tang Jiang.
"Christmas presents, do you like them?"
"I like what you sent. β
When Chen An heard this, he kissed Tang Jiang on the lips.
Ten minutes later, Tang Jiang finally couldn't help but complain: "If we get tired of it, we won't be able to go out." β
Chen An can be overly enthusiastic at times.
The two finally went out, and Lin Mengchu, who heard the sound of the door closing next door, hurriedly said to Han Yao: "The two of them seem to have gone out." β
Han Yao nodded, not responding.
"Have you agreed on one person a day?"
Lin Mengchu is still very curious about this.
"Nope. β
"So, you guys should be considered a tacit understanding?"
Lin Mengchu sometimes has some strange thoughts.
"It's not a tacit understanding, because sometimes, I don't quite understand Tang Jiang's thoughts. β
Facing her best friend, Han Yao didn't plan to hide anything.
Like Chen An, the only person she can talk to is Lin Mengchu.
"For example?"
"Sometimes I wonder if Tang Jiang will want to give up this relationship. β
When Lin Mengchu heard this, he couldn't help but be a little worried.
If Tang Jiang really wants to end this complicated relationship with Chen An, Chen An will definitely be very sad.
Will he beg Tang Jiang to stay with a dead face?
Lin Mengchu faintly felt that it shouldn't be.
If Tang Jiang really decided to leave, Chen An probably wouldn't be able to do such a thing.
Because he always felt that he owed Tang Jiang, how could he open his mouth.
And once Tang Jiang opened his mouth, it was probably irreparable.
"But sometimes I feel that Tang Jiang will not leave Chen An, this is just a gut feeling. β
"That means there's no basis!"
Lin Mengchu knew what intuition meant.
Intuition is a thing that is sometimes ineffective and unreliable.
To judge a thing, you still have to reason according to clues.
Han Yao nodded.
"In other words, you feel that Tang Jiang seems to want to dissolve this relationship?"
Lin Mengchu said very seriously.
"This is also intuition, and you say that intuition is not credible. β
"No, there should be traces of this, you noticed it, but you don't dare to confirm it. β
Han Yao: "......"
Why is it said differently now?
"Why are you so sure?"
Han Yao felt that Lin Mengchu was a little strange.
Didn't she say many times that she wouldn't get involved in their complicated affairs, including advice or something.
It's still strange to care so much about it now.
"Chen An told me that he was also more worried about whether the relationship between the three of you would be broken one day, it was Tang Jiang who made him feel the pressure, and you also felt that Tang Jiang might want to let go, so this feeling is definitely not groundless. β
"You have a point. β
Han Yao actually knew why she thought so.
Because Tang Jiang was trying to avoid appearing with Chen An's side with her, they used to be in constant contact, but now there is a lot less contact.
Tang Jiang always has her own things to do, and she is much busier than before.
All kinds of signs seem to show that she is gradually adapting to life without Chen An.
Maybe she hasn't gotten used to it yet, but when she gets used to it and gets used to it, maybe it's the day she chooses to leave.
Han Yao thought so in her heart.
That's why she told Chen An that she could quit.
As long as she left first, Tang Jiang probably wouldn't leave Chen An.
took over Chen An still unwillingly.
Han Yao didn't know what to do, this incident was caused by her, but she didn't end it with a way, even at the cost of hurting herself, she couldn't do it.
"So what am I going to do now?"
Han Yao decided to ask Lin Mengchu for help.
Lin Mengchu is very smart, she will definitely have a way.
"Wouldn't it be good for you to wait and see what happens?"
Lin Mengchu put on his glasses, his temperament became a little gloomy, and said: "This matter is not harmful to you, if Tang Jiang really wants to leave Chen An, it is also a good thing for you, Chen An will pour all the half of the love that was given to Tang Jiang into you alone, if Tang Jiang does not want to leave Chen An, then you are just maintaining the current relationship." So, you don't have to do anything. β
Lin Mengchu's analysis was very reasonable, and Han Yao was immediately speechless.
"What, don't you really want to share Chen An with others, right? Isn't it good to be alone?"
Lin Mengchu's words were like a demon's whisper.
Han Yao finally shook his head and said, "Of course I want to monopolize Chen An, but I don't want to see Chen An sad." β
"So you'd rather be sad yourself?"
Lin Mengchu couldn't help but sigh.
She knew that her liking for Chen An was really not as good as Han Yao or Tang Jiang.
If she became Chen An's girlfriend first and found out that Chen An was cheating, she would definitely kick Chen An away, how far and as far as she could.
And if she was in Han Yao's situation, she would probably do whatever it took to squeeze Tang Jiang out.
Han Yao has a great advantage now, she doesn't have to do anything, and after Tang Jiang leaves, Chen An will not blame her, he will only feel that it is his own fault.
As a result, Han Yao would rather give up this advantage than see Chen An sad.
She really can't compare.
"If Tang Jiang really chooses to leave, since it can make you feel it, it will be half a year at most, and in half a year, their relationship will definitely change a lot, it depends on whether you want to stop it or let it be. β
"Of course I want to stop it. β
Han Yao did not hesitate.
"Even if the way to stop it is for you to let it go yourself?"
Han Yao nodded seriously.
Lin Mengchu knew that Han Yao estimated that he had this idea.
"But are you sure that you're gone, won't Chen An be sad?"
Lin Mengchu felt that Han Yao had taken it for granted.
This kind of relationship is really cut, and the reason is still messy.
"So what should I do?"
Han Yao asked for help from Lin Junshi.
Lin Mengchu thought about it for a long time, and said: "Watching the changes is the best policy for you, but you don't need to, sacrificing yourself for others is the best policy, don't use it until you have to, and it may not be useful if you use it, once Tang Jiang decides to leave, he thinks he has made up his mind, and he will not be changed by other people's actions." β
Han Yao nodded approvingly, Lin Mengchu's logical thinking has always been very clear, and he is worthy of being a military advisor.
Han Yao didn't know that here in Chen An, Lin Mengchu had the nickname of Hanhan.
It is true that Lin Mengchu's logical thinking is indeed very powerful, but her thinking is also relatively active, and many times, there will always be some unreliable ideas.
In front of others, Lin Mengchu is in a normal state and is not relaxed enough, so the cranky thoughts in his mind will be quickly eliminated.
But in front of Chen An, maybe he was too relaxed, so that Lin Mengchu seemed to be affected by the aura of reducing intelligence, and he would always look very naΓ―ve.
"First of all, we need to figure out what you are looking for. β
Han Yao replied: "I don't want to make Chen An sad, I don't want Tang Jiang to be sad, and if I can, I don't want to leave him." β
Han Yao's tone was a little heavy in the second half of the sentence.
As a last resort, she had to make this choice.
"So your appeal is actually not to make Chen An sad, not to let Tang Jiang leave, for you, it's good that Tang Jiang and Chen An are not sad, if they break up peacefully, it's okay, right?"
Han Yao: "......"
The logic is this logic, but it has come to this point, how can the two of them break up peacefully.
She was about to complain, but Lin Mengchu denied it.
However, the two of them obviously did not reach the point of diluting their feelings for each other, and if they really wanted to break up, the mood would definitely not be calm, so this one was excluded. That is, Chen An and Tang Jiang can't break up, and they want to satisfy you at the same time not to leave, that is, to make Tang Jiang willing to accept sharing Chen An with you from the bottom of his heart, instead of forcing himself to accept the three of them together because he is reluctant to Chen An. β
Han Yao nodded.
If Tang Jiang kept forcing herself, she would one day choose to give up because she was too tired.
Therefore, let her spirit relax, and the relationship between the three of them will not be desperate, not sad, and naturally harmonious.
"There is an internal contradiction between you, there is no good chance of resolution, this contradiction is accumulating, and there will always be a day when it will erupt. β
Lin Mengchu pinched his chin and thought about it, remembering the historical topic he had been doing, and said: "Taking history as a mirror, when internal contradictions become increasingly acute, in addition to the outbreak of contradictions, the best way is to transfer internal contradictions to external contradictions. β
Han Yao is also a liberal arts student, so she understands it as soon as she hears it.
"Where does that come from?"
Han Yao said, suddenly glancing at Lin Mengchu.
Isn't that the best external contradiction?
She and Tang Jiang were both very wary of Lin Mengchu.
The most suitable external contradiction is Lin Mengchu.
"What are you doing?"
Lin Mengchu was a little scared when he was looked at by Han Yao's small eyes.
always felt that Han Yao was calculating herself.
"I'm wondering how Tang Jiang would react if she knew that you liked Chen An. β
"What nonsense are you talking about, how can I possibly like Chen An!"
Lin Mengchu was like a cat that had been stepped on by its tail, and immediately exploded.
She was a little flustered.
If the secret of her liking Chen An is known to Han Yao, what will the relationship between her and Han Yao look like, Lin Mengchu doesn't know, and Chen An probably won't be able to get along normally as a friend like now.
"Uh, I mean to misunderstand Tang Jiang, not that you really like him. β
Hearing Han Yao's explanation, Lin Mengchu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
I'm scared to death, I thought you saw through it, but it didn't!
The sister was relieved.
"This is still too simple and rude, not suitable, in case Tang Jiang is even more tired, the external contradiction I said is aimed at Chen An, just like he originally wanted to run the company well, but because the final exam came, he had to concentrate on studying, you can understand what I mean when I say this, right?"
Lin Mengchu saw that Han Yao was still thinking, so he simply gave her advice.
"My suggestion is that there is an outside force that prevents you from being together, so that you will work together against it. β
The idea proposed by Lin Mengchu was so bold that Han Yao was shocked.
"The only ones who can interfere with us are our families, are you sure that this will not cause a bigger problem?"
Han Yao began to look at Lin Mengchu with suspicious eyes.
That's a good idea, but are you sure this wave isn't accelerating death?
