Chapter 166: Understanding
Therefore, although Lu Yichen is quibbling, it is also reasonable, his parents are so affectionate, where is his turn to arrange it?
Vivian's birthday this year, he wants to contact the chef first, if he can finalize this Japanese chef, it would be the best, and then he will ask his parents for permission to hold the party at Lu's house, and he can also ask Vivian to invite some of her good friends, but this is his initial plan, and he still has to ask Vivian's consent to avoid self-defeating.
After hanging up the phone, Lu Yichen hurriedly saved the phone number of the Japanese chef, and edited a text message casually, so that it was better to make an appointment for a voice chat at a convenient time for the other party. With all that done, he lay comfortably on the couch and waited for Vivian to make dinner.
When Vivian took off her apron and sat down to have dinner with Lu Yichen, she finally said what she was holding in her heart.
"Lu Yichen, there is something I want to discuss with you." Vivian folded her hands and silently chanted "γγγ γγΎγ" ("I started" that the Japanese say before eating) while glancing at her boyfriend across from her.
"What's wrong? You say. Lu Yichen actually guessed what she would say, but she was still willing to listen to herself.
"I think it's weird to live in Lin Yi's house so presumptuously, and then rub off a simple air ticket." Vivian mustered up the courage to speak out about her discomfort.
Growing up, Vivian was especially afraid of being indebted to others, and getting help from others not only didn't make her happy, but also made her anxious. Although she has been so good all the way, in fact, deep down, she also knows very well that due to family factors, her essence is very inferior.
Later, when she went to university and studied psychology, she realized that in psychology she was called a "dependent incompetent" and a "mild psychologically anxious".
People like Vivian try to avoid asking for help, and even when they have to, they feel intensely embarrassed and ashamed. The psychology behind this behavior is not complicated.
First, accepting help from others can make them feel inferior, and people who are dependent on incompetence may have a fragile sense of self-esteem. For the average person, it is heartwarming to receive help from others, but for those who are dependent and incompetent, accepting help is equivalent to acknowledging one's own weakness and powerlessness. The feeling of inferiority to the other person being in a high position and in a low position needs to be "given" can sting their self-esteem and even make them disgusted with themselves. This is the reason why they would rather hold on than trouble others.
Secondly, the reluctance to trouble others is due to the lack of these three types of trust. First, I believe that some people are willing to be "troubled" by us; second, believe that the other person is capable of helping you; Third, believe that the act of bothering others and asking for needs will not have a negative impact on you. People who lack the first type of trust are afraid of being rejected by others, and it is easy to interpret a word or expression of others as a rejection of him, so they dare not make demands; People who lack the second type of trust do not think that others are capable of helping them, so it is futile to trouble others, and they even owe favors. A person who lacks a third type of trust fears that asking for help will make him look down on him and that someone will take advantage of his vulnerability and cause him harm.
Therefore, she has always pursued "independence" all the way, a kind of all-round independence, completely independent of anyone's help. Because of this, Vivian is very afraid of causing trouble to others, because she feels very guilty. Because of this, she can't establish an intimate relationship with others, and for so many years, she hasn't had a friend who can be called a best friend. When she encounters the opposite sex, she will only choose to escape, this lack of trust in herself and others, and the inability to open her heart have made her lonely for so many years, until she met Lu Yichen like the sun.
It was Lu Yichen who fished her up from the frozen seabed, but even so, she was only willing to rely on Lu Yichen alone, and she was unwilling to owe anyone except him.
So that day, Lu Yichen rubbed the Lin family's accommodation so easily, and later Jian Yang offered to charter everyone's air tickets, which made Vivian very uncomfortable. Lin Yi and Gege are Lu Yichen's classmates in City B, and Jian Yang is his sister's boyfriend, to put it bluntly, Lu Yichen's relationship with them is indeed very close, but Vivian feels that he is just an outsider, and he is not close enough to take advantage of others.
So if she didn't say it, it might become a knot, so she still mustered up the courage to tell Lu Yichen what she really thought.
To be honest, Lu Yichen was still a little surprised that Vivian, who was good at hiding his heart, could express his thoughts so bluntly, although he had guessed some of them.
However, after all, the two grew up in a huge difference, and it is difficult for Lu Yichen to truly empathize. He didn't feel like he owed Lin Yi or Jian Yang at all, everyone was a friend, and he didn't say anything about not reciprocating.
When he went back to New York, he must have asked his eldest sister to make good arrangements to fulfill the friendship of the landlord. What's more, he really didn't think that accommodation or air tickets would be a kind of benevolent mentality for Lin Yi and Jian Yang, these two people are big young masters who don't have any shelves, and they are also sincere in getting along with friends, and it is impossible to have any condescending superiority because of this.
In the final analysis, this is the estrangement caused by the growth environment, Lu Yichen can't understand it, after all, when they were students, they often had classmates invite the whole class to go skiing in Switzerland on a private jet during the holidays.
However, of course, he didn't plan to say this to Vivian at this time, it would only increase her psychological burden.
Lu Yichen stretched out his hand, grabbed Vivian at the other end of the table, and told her seriously: "Well, don't worry, when we go to New York, we will also invite them back, don't worry too much." I just think that since the destination is the same, it is also lively to set off and live together, and I believe they think the same way. β
In fact, the moment she said it, Vivian felt that the big stone in her heart fell to the ground. Now that she heard Lu Yichen's reply, this is exactly what she meant, and she doesn't want to participate in nothing by herself, every time Lu Yichen takes care of it, she really doesn't want that.
Since the tuition has been settled, Vivian has also saved some part-time income, because she got a perfect score on the LSAT, so with this, she also privately accepted some students who wanted to take the law school, and the salary was very good. Thinking of this, she suddenly felt enlightened again.
When she has time, she also wants to sit down with Lu Yichen and talk about the arrangements for the two of them in the future, Lu Yichen is a broad wife, but it doesn't mean that she should accept all his gifts as a matter of course. Vivian has her own pride, and if the two want to last a long time in the future, then this line must be drawn from the beginning.
What's more, Vivian's previous sugar daddy experience is still a stain on herself, and she no longer wants to recall herself who gave up her self-esteem, which she doesn't even want Lu Yichen to know.
Seeing her thoughtful appearance, Lu Yichen was afraid that she would be cranky again, so he got up and walked to her, picked her up before she could react, and sat on the sofa.
"If the food is not delicious, you know that you are cranky, do you think you should be punished?" After saying that, he rubbed her delicate skin with his green stubble, which tickled Vivian.
"Lu Yichen, who is not eating well? Who said starved to death just now? Vivian knew something was wrong when she looked into his eyes, and quickly reminded him that it was a table full of dishes made for him.
"That's what I said, I'm really starving, so why don't you hurry up and feed me~" After speaking, his hand began to relieve Luo Shang lightly, everything has a light and heavy relief, and a table of dishes can't run, right? Then the kisses were densely packed and covered Vivian's lips one by one.
Vivian's little hands pushed him away helplessly, she really couldn't think of any reason to stop the hungry wolf, and suddenly felt like she had found a savior in his pants pocket.
"Hurry up and stop, or you'll ......" Vivian's delicate face flushed slightly, obviously being teased by him......
"Otherwise what?" Lu Yichen suddenly stopped moving, he was just curious about what tricks she could have.
"Otherwise, I'll pop your driver's license photo to your fb!" Alas, poor Vivian really couldn't think of any big moves, so he could only come up with such a lame trick. She had gone to take a photo of her student ID card and heard a few students crying and discussing why their ID photos were so ugly.
Therefore, the moment she touched the wallet, she suddenly thought that Lu Yichen must have minded such a stinky and beautiful person, but she didn't expect that after this sentence was finished, Lu Yichen didn't react at all, but leaned on the sofa generously, giving a "you are free, I will wait" look.
Confused, she flipped through his wallet, and the clear pocket on the left was his driver's license. Seeing the photo of his driver's license, Vivian finally understood where his confidence came from...... Damn, why can someone even have an ID photo so handsome...... She bit her lip in annoyance, this kind of photo will really pop out, it will only attract a bunch of fans to Lu Yichen...... What is self-defeating, she can be considered to understand!
"What's wrong? Not satisfied with your boyfriend's beauty in the prime of life? I thought you would fall in love with me again when you saw the photo~" Lu Yichen is really in a good mood, he is very confident in his beauty, Vivian wants to see him, of course he doesn't mind, after reading her, she must be in a state of flux.
Seeing her stunned appearance, it was estimated that there was no big move, he hugged her delicate body again, and said in her ear shyly: "It's best not to take a man's wallet casually." β
Vivian's eyes were full of "why", and she saw Lu Yichen snatch her wallet, take out a small plastic package from the small pocket in the middle, and tear it with her mouth with great charm: "Because, there will be this." β
