Chapter 108: Mandy's Change
Lip picked up the guitar and practiced it not long before Mandy finished delivering the goods and hurried back.
Looking at the time, it was almost noon, so Lip put down his guitar and went out with Mandy.
On the way to the restaurant, Lip asked, "How are you doing?"
"Everything is fine!" Mandy replied, "I have the foundation of the tutoring you gave me before, and now I can understand what the teacher is talking about in class, and after class, I will work with Ian to write homework, preview, review, and understand what I don't understand, or go to the teacher, or go to those nerdy classmates, almost all understand." ”
"If you really don't understand something, you can stay until the weekend and ask me. Lip said.
"Do you have time?" Mandy asked.
"Of course, although my classes are quite intense, they can be completed on the same day, and the two days on the weekend are my personal time. Lip said.
"I don't want to delay you!" Mandy said, bowing his head.
"You can't delay me anything. Moreover, I was going to tutor Ian, and you have one more, just by the way. Lip said with a smile.
"Hmm. When Mandy heard this, she felt a little relieved and a little lost, in short, very entangled.
During this time, Mandy has been thinking about what attitude to face Lip.
Born in the Mirkovich family, which is even worse than the Gallagher family, Mandy has already accepted his fate, and in the future, he will either do odd jobs at the bottom of society, barely survive, or sell his body, become a call girl, earn a few years of youth money, and then sink in that depraved environment.
The biggest possibility in the future is to meet a bastard man like her father, Old Terry, get married and have children, and that's it for the rest of your life.
Unexpectedly, after being with Lip, he pointed out a completely different direction in life.
The prospects of this road are much brighter than her previous fate, and anyone who faces these two paths knows how to choose.
Of course, Mandy also wants to have a bright future for herself.
Therefore, Mandy has now swept away the previous image of a little sister who didn't care about anything, and from the inside out, she made a 180-degree turn and became a good student who concentrates on learning.
This road, although it is full of difficulties and obstacles for her, is not afraid to accept these challenges with great resilience.
Mandy has always had a thought in her heart: the fact that we were born in a good-for-nothing slum and lived in a hopeless family does not mean that we have to continue the life of our parents, accompany them, and die here!
Before, Mandy just had no chance to change, and could only reluctantly accept the arrangement of fate, but now, she sees the possibility of controlling her own destiny, no matter what, she must fight for it!
The worst outcome is just a return to the original trajectory of life, and Mandy has nothing to lose.
Of course, Mandy knew that the hope she saw was brought to her, so she was grateful to Lip from the bottom of her heart.
When she was with Lipp before, she was sincere and fantasized that that time would go on forever.
Mandy knew that she was hopelessly in love with Lip.
However, when it became clear that Lip had been accepted to the University of Chicago, Mandy knew that she could no longer keep up with Lip.
Mandy's love for Lip is dead-hearted, and although she has some selfishness, it does not affect her heart.
Rather than keeping Lip firmly tethered to his side, Mandy would rather see Lip have a great future of his own.
She didn't want to drag Lip back.
Lip's changes in the past few months, Mandy stood aside, looking at it in his eyes, and his heart became more and more sure that his future was great.
According to the general path, when a boy with such a great future is discovered, what he should do is to seize the opportunity while he is not famous, firmly grasp it in his hands, and then sit back and wait for the moment when the chicken dog ascends to heaven.
Mandy is not an ordinary girl, her family background makes her unable to confidently puff up her chest in front of Lip, and she is very inferior.
After seeing that Lip has a great future, Mandy thinks of staying away from him as soon as possible, so as not to let himself be an obstacle to his progress.
This is the reason why Mandy fell into a cold war with Lip during this time.
However, Lip has been very deeply involved in Mandy's life, unknowingly—Mandy now lives in the room that Lip provided her, walks the life path that Lip has planned for her, does the job that Lip tailors for her, and gets the salary Lip gives her......
Everything she has now is closely related to Lip, how can she stay away from Lip?
Therefore, after Lip went to the University of Chicago to report and study, Mandy finally figured it out, and at present, Lip is not something she can stay away from if she wants to, and deliberately staying away will damage her relationship with Lip.
Despite knowing that she could not be Lip's life partner, Mandy never thought of disconnecting herself from Lip completely.
Instead of torturing yourself like this, it is better to calm down and become friends with Lip.
That's why after meeting again, Mandy took the initiative to break the ice and say hello to Lip first.
Lip's response made Mandy feel a pang of joy.
Now, with the promise from Lip that she can continue to tutor her in her schoolwork - even if it's just incidental to Ian, which makes Mandy a little disappointed, but Mandy is happy enough to be able to reconnect with Lip because of this.
I found a casual restaurant, found an empty seat, sat across from each other, ordered the food, and Lip and Mandy looked at each other and smiled.
Mandy said, "Tell me about your college life." ”
"There's nothing to say, it's only been a week, and everything is rushed, messy, and not completely straightened out. Lip said.
"Have you ever met a girl you like?" whether it was positioning herself as Lipp's friend or with other thoughts, this question was Mandy's primary concern.
"Hmm......" Lip muttered for a moment, deciding to tell the truth, "I can't talk about my favorite, but I can talk about it! ”
"Moreover, I don't have the idea of finding a regular girlfriend to stabilize the relationship at the moment. ”
"Oh......" Mandy nodded pretendedly, lowered her eyes slightly, hiding the flickering and frustration in her eyes, took a deep breath, forced out a smile, and said, "Tell me, what kind of girl is she?"
"Uh...... What kind of girl she is, I really can't say now, after all, we have only met twice, we have made an appointment, and we don't know much about each other, but we feel very comfortable getting along. Lip rolled his eyes and said in thought.
