Chapter 141: A Sudden Understanding
"What's wrong with me?" Lu Ling's smile that couldn't be hidden was in stark contrast to Ruan Qingning's slightly angry face.
"Do you have to pretend to be stupid?" Ruan Qingning glared at Lu Ling.
"I'm not pretending to be stupid. Lu Ling refused to admit Ruan Qingning's identification, "I have already explained it to you, if you don't want to believe it, you can't blame me!"
"What did you explain? He just started violently, and suddenly remembered something, Ruan Qingning's expression suddenly became very strange.
"Remembered?" chuckled, leaning comfortably on the backrest of the driver's seat, Lu Ling looked ahead, "I figured this thing out very suddenly, you will be surprised, uncomfortable, unwilling to believe, I can accept it." However, I think I need to tell you again before sending you up. I... ”
"Don't say it!" Ruan Qingning reached out and covered Lu Ling's mouth. With this action, the two of them got so close like never before, and Lu Ling could even clearly see the shock and fear in Ruan Qingning's eyes, and some emotions that he couldn't understand for a while were flowing rapidly.
Some people have known each other since birth, but have never really known each other. And some people, who may have only known each other for a few days, know each other as well as they know themselves.
Lu Ling has not yet understood Ruan Qingning as well as he knows himself, but perhaps because he and Ruan Qingning are particularly compatible, he has known Ruan Qingning for just a few months, and his understanding of Ruan Qingning is indeed deeper than that of most people who have known Ruan Qingning for more than ten years.
Ruan Qingning was very uneasy, this was Lu Ling's deepest understanding of Ruan Qingning. Because of uneasiness, Ruan Qingning will always habitually look at problems from the perspective of others, and then choose the most beneficial way for others, but not so friendly to herself. Also because of her uneasiness, Ruan Qingning always blames herself for all the problems she encounters in interpersonal communication.
These traits are manifested in the small details in all aspects of life, such as when they first met, Lu Ling felt that Ruan Qingning was a person who didn't care about pets because of Zero's illness, but just felt lonely and wanted to find a toy to amuse, and he also felt guilty for not seeing Ruan Qingning being such a person and giving Zero to Ruan Qingning.
After that, Ruan Qingning would often ask Lu Ling how to take care of pets, how to feed them, and how to keep pets healthy. Ruan Qingning will do this, of course, out of a genuine love for Zero.
But did you feel that it was your own carelessness and negligence that caused Lu Ling's self-blame and intended to remedy it, Lu Ling was still a little uncertain in the past, but now Lu Ling can say with certainty that yes, Ruan Qingning just felt that it was because of his own self-blame that he would break his interpersonal communication principle of keeping a safe distance, and took the initiative to establish a communication channel with a strange, outside-the-circle man for the first time.
Lu Ling's attitude towards interpersonal communication is not to take the initiative and not to refuse. I don't take the initiative to get close to you, but I won't refuse if you want to be close to me. Among the people who take the initiative to approach, if they can talk, they will naturally become friends, but if they can't talk, will there be a future?
So at the beginning, Lu Ling didn't think it was very rare for Ruan Qingning's active communication. And he used to be a person who has half a foot in the entertainment industry, Lu Ling knows very well how difficult it is to have a friend who can rest assured to tell the truth in the seemingly glorious circle of the entertainment industry.
He has a friend who is an actor who once patted him on the shoulder after drinking too much and said, "I have a lot of money now, a lot of people like it, and I get a lot of things that I used to think were extravagant even fantasies, and it can be regarded as a big success." But ten years ago, none of the people who could hook up their shoulders and sing like crazy on the road are gone. I know we didn't do anything wrong, but I'm just sad, gaining what I once dreamed of, and losing what I was used to. Is it worth it?"
Most people in the entertainment industry are lonely, and there are too many rules that are either bright or dark. When you have to think deeply about the consequences of saying even a word, the ** of speaking has been reduced to a minimum. Over time, you will slowly get used to it, and you will no longer be able to speak easily, and then you will become unable to say even a single word of your true thoughts, even in a safe environment at home, where you don't have to worry about the consequences of blurting out words.
It may not be that all people in the entertainment industry have this problem, and it may be that most people with this problem have symptoms that are far less serious than Lu Ling imagined. But Ruan Qingning is definitely not the type of man who can effectively relieve his anxiety and loneliness, and he is a good man when he feels it.
This is the part that Lu Ling gradually understood as he slowly deepened his understanding of Ruan Qingning, and Lu Ling couldn't tell when he started, so he didn't like Ruan Qingning's cautiousness, always thinking that everyone was good, but he didn't want to have a good attitude towards life, so he always teased Ruan Qingning intentionally or unintentionally, forcing her to break through this layer of caution and reveal her truest self.
But now, or when Wu Tong asked him bluntly if he was chasing Ruan Qingning, Lu Ling realized for the first time what his truest thoughts were in his heart.
Lu Ling is very similar to Ruan Qingning in many places, which can be regarded as one of the important factors for the two of them to quickly become intimate, but as the saying goes, there are no two leaves that are the same in the world, Lu Ling has something very similar to Ruan Qingning, and naturally there will be parts that are different from Ruan Qingning, or diametrically opposite.
The biggest difference between Lu Ling and Ruan Qingning is that after Lu Ling figured out what he wanted, no matter what he decided, he was very neat. Whether you choose to work hard neatly or choose to give up neatly.
Lu Ling felt that he was not an accessory of his parents, and he should be grateful that his parents gave birth to him, but he couldn't live like himself because of this, so he resolutely went to school secretly to modify his volunteer.
Lu Ling felt that he regarded his parents as his parents, but his parents regarded them as tools to realize their dreams and help their husbands realize their dreams, and this relationship was not equal, so he quickly decided to obey his father's will for the last time as a link to cut off the relationship between the two parties.
Such a simple decision may make people feel cold-blooded and selfish, but it is undeniable that this has reduced Lu Ling a lot of trouble. And Ruan Qingning, her character of wanting everyone to be good, there must be benefits, but Lu Ling didn't see it. But on the downside, Lu Ling looked at it out of ten.
He didn't like Ruan Qingning to be so aggrieved, even if he knew that he preferred chocolate ice cream, and Ruan Qingning preferred matcha, but because he felt that chocolate and matcha were acceptable to her, he offered to eat chocolate flavors, and Lu Ling didn't like it.
This is what Lu Ling realized from the beginning, but what he didn't realize was that because he didn't like other people's personalities and attitudes towards the world, he forced others to change this kind of thing with his own standards.
