Chapter 48: Once Upon a Time in America (2)
"Li Zheng, do you know what I like about you the most? It's that you're really smart. β
The girl smiled faintly and nodded: "You guessed right." I did get the number from Girls' Generation, but not from Kwon Yoo-ri, so you don't have to blame her. As for who you got it from, I won't tell you, and I guess it doesn't matter now, does it?"
Li Zheng didn't ask anymore when he heard this, he looked at the girl and said suspiciously: "I just don't understand, since we have both broken up." You are also admitted to university in the United States, and now is the start of school, what are you doing when you go back to South Korea instead of studying in the United States? I guess it's not your purpose to catch up with me. β
The girl rolled her eyes, "What's the matter?" Anyway, we were together when we were in the United States, so we don't need to be so ruthless. β
Li Zheng said lightly: "We have been together, but that is in the past, and besides, the person who said that I broke up was not me, I don't think I need to feel sorry." β
The girl sat up abruptly and glared at Li Zheng: "Why didn't you say why I broke up with you in the first place?"
Li Zheng was a little silent and said lightly: "That's your business." β
After the words were spoken, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little heavy.
After a while, the girl suddenly smiled and lay down again: "Okay. You can rest assured. I don't mean anything else, I just want to meet you. β
Li Zheng looked at the girl: "Now you see it." Say whatever you want. β
The girl was silent for a moment, and suddenly glanced at Li Zheng strangely: "Do you know? Some time ago, a girlfriend of yours who had been dating in the United States suddenly came to New York University to find me and ask me for your information. She said her name was Adeline and she met you in a bar. β
Li Zheng was expressionless and did not speak.
The girl raised an eyebrow: "What? I don't have an impression of her, or do you not want to talk about her?"
Li Zheng was no longer silent, and said, "I don't understand what you mean by talking about her. I've been dating her for a while, but I've already broken up, and I don't have any entanglements with her, we don't owe each other, what do you want to say when you mention her?"
The girl ignored Li Zheng, continued the previous words, and continued: "Interestingly, we had an interesting conversation, and she told me some information about her, and I felt it was necessary to confirm these situations with you. β
Li Zheng looked directly at the girl: "You can say what you want to say directly, there is no need to beat around the bush." β
The girl glanced at Li Zheng strangely again: "She said that she is a lesbianδΈ¨ sexual and has her own fixed girlfriend." But what's interesting is this, a lesbianδΈ¨sexual, and a lesbian with a fixed girlfriend, will actually be dating you for a while, and her girlfriend doesn't mind, I really want to know how you do it? Maybe, you don't know that she's gay and has a girlfriend?"
Li Zheng didn't answer, just stared at the girl: "What do you want to express?"
The girl blinked and smiled: "Although I knew that your private life was very chaotic when you were in the United States, I didn't expect that you would have such a means." β
Li Zheng was expressionless, continued to look at the girl, and did not speak.
The girl blinked again and looked at Li Zheng with a smile: "A person who has a very chaotic private life in the United States, but when he returns to South Korea, he has become a potential newcomer with a resolute, hard-working, and talented personality, and he has also dated a girlfriend who is homosexual, do you say that if I disclose such a passionate topic to the media, will your popularity go to the next level?"
Li Zheng took a deep breath, looked at the girl, and suddenly laughed: "Stella, stop beating around the bush, don't say these boring words again, just say what you want, right?"
Stella raised an eyebrow and spread her hands out, "What do I want? What do you have worth what I want? You can't give me a name. β
Li Zheng's smile became a little thicker: "Then what do you think you want?"
"Angry. β
Stella got up from the couch, walked to Li Zheng's side, straddled his lap, held Li Zheng's face with both hands, and said stupidly: "Chris, do you know? She lowered her head and kissed Li Zheng lightly on the lips, raised her head, and smiled lightly, "Actually, I told you from the beginning, I don't want anything, I just want to meet you and talk to you." β
Li Zheng said lightly: "I don't think we have anything to talk about." β
Stella frowned: "I know that I have done some excessive things to you in the past, but in the end, it didn't and didn't cause any serious consequences, and if I hadn't finally changed my mind, I'm afraid you wouldn't be where you are now." And, why I did that, you yourself know very well, if it weren't for you hiding it from me and some other women......"
Li Zheng grabbed the girl's arm with his hand, made the girl sit up straight, and looked at her with his eyes: "What's the point of saying this? Am I hiding it from you, or is it your own wishful thinking, you know it in your own heart." We don't have a definite relationship, and we don't care about the relationship, you ...... Forget it, let the past pass, and there's no point in mentioning it now. You just told me what you were looking for me, right?"
Stella looked back at Li Zheng's eyes, neither dodging nor flustered: "I said it, I just want to meet you and chat, I don't have any other requirements." β
Li Zheng frowned: "It's that simple?"
Stella smiled, "It's as simple as that. β
Li Zheng frowned again and looked at the girl suspiciously: "I really don't understand." You hated me so much that you wanted me to be expelled from Yale University and put in prison, and now you suddenly called me and threatened me to expose everything about me in the United States if I didn't meet you, and now you say you just want to meet me and have a chat?"
Stella blinked and smiled: "I have verified another sentence from you, people are too smart, and it is easy to think too much." β
Li Zheng frowned and said, "It's not that I think too much, it's that your behavior makes me have to think too much." β
Stella winked again and laughed, "Haven't you heard that women are the most elusive?"
Li Zheng glanced at the girl: "But I haven't seen a woman like you." β
Stella looked at Li Zheng with a sincere look in her eyes: "Actually, looking back at our past, you should know that if I hadn't loved you, I wouldn't have been so angry and would not have done such an irrational thing, but in the end, I still didn't report it to the police, all because I really love you." β
When Li Zheng heard this, he fell silent again.
Stella stretched out her hands to hold Li Zheng's face: "Chris, don't do this. I really just wanted to meet you, nothing else. You know you won't see me if I don't say that. Before that happened, we had good times and happy moments, so let's forget the past and be friends again, okay?"
Li Zheng bowed his head slightly and did not speak.
Stella looked at Li Zheng: "Chris, I really don't have any other luxury, and I never thought about getting anything from you, you should know that I'm not that kind of girl, I just want a friend now, a friend who can talk to me." β
Li Zheng closed his eyes and opened them again, he looked at the girl: "If I don't promise you, what will you do?
Stella shook her head and said, "I was never prepared to do that. What's in it for me to destroy you? Satisfy my own selfishness? You know I'm not that kind of person. If I were that person, you wouldn't have been in a relationship with me in the first place, and we wouldn't have had more than a year of happiness. Really, Chris, I really just need a friend right now, a friend who can talk to me and talk to me. β
Li Zheng was silent for a moment and said, "If you pay attention to my news, you should know that I am filming a TV series now, and I don't have so much time to meet you at all." β
Stella nodded, "I know." I don't need you to see me every day, as long as you have time and can talk to me. β
After Li Zheng was silent for a long time, he looked at the girl and finally nodded.
"Okay. If you're just asking for that, I promise you. β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
After sending Stella away, it was nearly midnight.
Li Zheng took out his mobile phone, looked at a number for a long time, and finally dialed it out.
