Chapter 53: The Quarrel
All along, Li Ling had an inferiority complex in her heart, and she desperately suppressed it, not daring to expose it to anyone. A hundred flowers are blooming, competing for beauty, why should that butterfly only linger on her.
She wasn't confident in herself, and she wasn't that confident in him.
However, after not contacting each other for a few hours, Li Ling calmed down and figured out a lot, probably because he was suspicious, Jiang Zhiqing usually froze when he was thinking, as if he was looking somewhere, but in fact, his eyes were out of focus.
It's just that she was afraid of face and decided to wait for Jiang Zhiqing to take the initiative to come to her.
At 11 o'clock in the evening, he finally sent a message: Is the gas gone? I bought you the red bean candy you like.
Li Ling replied after a while: I don't want it.
Jiang Zhiqing: I'll be waiting for you downstairs.
Li Ling: Then you just wait, I won't eat.
Jiang Zhiqing: I'm at the staircase on the left.
Ten minutes later, Li Ling still went downstairs, but she stood on the last step and was reluctant to take this step.
Jiang Zhiqing came over with a takeaway and hugged her with his free other hand, although she was standing on the steps, she was still a few centimeters shorter than him.
"Don't be angry, I'll do better in the future. ”
Li Ling also accepted it when he saw it: "Don't you eat it?"
"You feed me with your mouth. ”
Li Ling pushed him away: "Then I won't eat it." ”
Jiang Zhiqing smiled.
A girl passed by, and the two occupied almost half the width of the stairs, so Jiang Zhiqing gave her takeaway: "Take it and eat it, and then sleep well." ”
In this way, this unpleasant incident of not knowing whether it was a quarrel or unilateral jealousy passed, and the two sides rarely mentioned it again.
And the real big quarrel happened a week before the sophomore final exam, Li Ling and the girls in the department made an appointment to go to KTV to sing.
That day, Jiang Zhiqing was waiting for her downstairs in Li Ling's dormitory, ready to send her to the school gate, but saw that she was wearing a white one-shoulder dress with knee-length lengths, and couldn't help frowning.
"Would you like to go back and change your clothes?" Jiang Zhiqing asked softly while hugging Li Ling's shoulder.
"Is this also exposed?" Li Ling said aggrievedly.
Jiang Zhiqing spoiled Li Ling for everything, but from the beginning, he required her to dress without revealing clothes, and his standards were very strict compared to other boys' dress requirements for girlfriends, for example, do not wear V-necks and suspenders, wear anti-walking vests under loose clothes, skirt length should be below the knee and leggings must be worn, not crop tops and ultra-shorts......
All in all, it's best to wrap yourself tightly and airtightly.
In the past two years, Li Ling has always followed his standards to dress, and he can only put his favorite sundresses and short skirts into the collection. After all, when two people get along, they always have to make some compromises and concessions.
It's just that she often envies those girls who can show their graceful or medium figure in the sun generously, without taking into account other people's preferences and eyes, purely how they like to wear it.
At the party of the girls in the department, they will all dress more beautifully than the other, and they can't even wear a one-shoulder dress? Li Ling was a little depressed.
Jiang Zhiqing touched the underside of Li Ling's collarbone and said, "This piece of chest is exposed." ”
Li Ling pouted: "Do you want me to wear a high collar in summer?"
"You can wear a crewneck. Jiang Zhiqing said very seriously, "I don't want your places to be seen by other boys." ”
"It's all girls. ”
"There are a lot of boys along the way, and I don't want you to be looked at by girls. ”
“...... They were all waiting for me at the door, and I didn't change them, so I had to hurry over and gather. ”
Li Ling wanted to move forward, but was stopped by Jiang Zhiqing, and he begged again: "Is it okay to change?"
"I usually listen to you, and this one doesn't reveal any private parts, don't you let me change it?"
Jiang Zhiqing didn't say anything more, and followed her wordlessly all the way to the school gate, Li Ling didn't say goodbye to him, and walked directly to the girls who were waiting.
After the evening party, Li Ling tentatively asked Jiang Zhiqing in WeChat if he would come to pick her up at the school gate, but he still came, but the two began to quarrel as they walked along the lake.
"I asked all the girls in the department, and they didn't think there was anything wrong with what I was wearing, and they wouldn't go naked at all, but said that I had always been conservative, and that you were exaggerating. ”
Jiang Zhiqing tried to say calmly: "Do you want to compare with other girls? It has nothing to do with me what others do, but you are my girlfriend." I can't accept that you're dressed scantily. ”
Li Ling was angry: "This exposure, that is also exposed, why don't I wrap myself in a mummy, will you be satisfied? In the summer, what girl doesn't want to walk on the street refreshingly and beautifully, but I can't even wear a small skirt, I also have my own freedom to dress, can you not be so sensitive, fussy, and make a fuss?"
Jiang Zhiqing was annoyed by these words: "Is it me who is sensitive, making a fuss, and making a fuss? Do you know that if you bend down a little in this dress, you will be seen in your breasts? Do you know that those boys just like to stare at these places?"
"What about you? Do you like to stare at other girls, do you like to stare at other girls, have you watched it many times?"
Jiang Zhiqing gritted his teeth and said, "I won't do this, but I can't guarantee that others won't do this." ”
"Aren't you the quintessential victim of deformity? Some men think that women dress up nicely just to show them. If a girl is hurt and violated, it is her problem with her dressing, she deliberately seduces, and she deserves it. Are you full of erotic stuff and think that everyone is as vile and nasty as you?"
Jiang Zhiqing put his hand on his head and said in annoyance: "I didn't mean that. ”
"It's really tiring to be with you sometimes......" Li Ling lowered his head and looked tired.
"I don't care how you dress in the future, you can wear it however you like. Jiang Zhiqing's tone was full of dissatisfaction and helplessness.
In the end, the two parted unhappily.
This was the only time Jiang Zhiqing lost his temper with Li Ling, and Li Ling didn't expect him to mind so much about it. Whether this was control or possessiveness, or something else, Li Ling couldn't figure it out, but she thought that he cared about her very much after all.
In fact, all contradictions originate from care, but once the degree is not grasped well, it will cause disputes.
As the final exams were approaching, they ignored anyone during the week of preparation and wanted to focus on revision first. But the day before the exam, Li Ling didn't hold his breath, wrote a letter to Jiang Zhiqing, and secretly asked his roommate to pass it on to him.
In fact, there is one sentence in the letter: Stingy ghost, can you coax me back?
Jiang Zhiqing came to Li Ling that night, and Li Ling imagined several scenes in his heart, how he would apologize, in what form, and how he would express it. After all, this is their real quarrel, she can't forgive him too easily, and if she is not sincere, she should ignore him again.
As a result, Jiang Zhiqing didn't say a word, and kissed her directly as soon as they met, and after kissing her in a daze, he told her to take the exam well.
Okay, she's defeated.
After the exam, Li Ling stayed in City G for an internship, while Jiang Zhiqing returned to City Z because his grandmother was sick and needed a driver's license.
They originally thought it was just a long-distance relationship for two months, but they didn't expect that what happened during that time would turn Li Ling's life upside down, leading her to decide to end their relationship.
