Chapter 14 Double Standards

Jiang Zai originally thought that Su Sui was going to find a place to talk to him.

But Su Sui did not turn around along the way home, and the road was as silent as ever.

It wasn't until the two of them walked on the green path that Su Sui opened his mouth to break the silence.

She pulled out her MP3 headphones from her pocket and handed one of the earphones to Jiang Zai: "Listen to the song?" ”

Hearing this, Jiang Zai raised his eyebrows: "Double standard? ”

It seems that on the day of climbing the mountain, the conversation between Su Sui and He Jingwen was heard clearly.

Su Sui withdrew the headphones, looked straight ahead, and spoke slowly.

"Do you know why I'm a little bit bothered about letting others listen to my MP3s?"

Su Sui didn't wait to hear Jiang Zai's answer, and continued to talk to himself.

"I once watched a movie that made the point that listening to a person's usual music actually gives you some way to understanding that person."

She paused, and said it a little bluntly.

"I don't want to tell people what I hear easily, because I don't want people to know about me, and I don't want to know about them."

There was a moment of silence between the two, and the breeze blew through the treetops, causing a thick green to shake and rattle.

In a moment, Jiang Zai's flat voice sounded again.

"Why?"

In silence, Su Sui's voice replied with a sense of peace, like exhaustion and helplessness.

"It's not that I haven't met people, and I've experienced many encounters and separations, but I'm not a person who can handle interpersonal relationships easily, and some people and things have left me with some regrets and made me feel unworthy."

"So," Su Sui stopped and looked at Jiang Zai beside him, "Why didn't you choose to keep your distance in the first place?" That is good for both parties and avoids a lot of intentional or unintentional harm. ”

Looking at the dark purple sunset covering Jiang Zai's face, Su Sui laughed very softly.

She looked at Jiang Zai's lips that were gradually pursed, and was a little serious: "Jiang Zai, please give me a reason." ”

"Why should I get to know you, and why should you want to know me?"

Her tone turned cold, less like an inquiry, more like an angry and aggrieved question.

This question is not only a confession to a certain extent, but also a recognition of Jiang Zai to another extent.

What will happen to him? How can he get back?

Jiang Zai looked at her quietly for a moment before speaking.

"I think, first of all, we humans have limited time, and separation is inevitable," he said without too much wave on his face, his eyes were calm, "all relationships are premised on separation, and we actually meet for the sake of separation......"

"Work hard for the 'best separation' and make the days more worthwhile" (1), he gave the first reason, "So, since we have to spend these three years together, there is obviously a better way to get along, why don't we try it and give yourself a better memory for the future?" ”

After speaking, he paused and gave Su Sui a little time.

However, Su Sui just looked at him silently, and his figure was reflected in his eyes.

Slowing down, Jiang Zai continued.

"Secondly, you said that you once had a bad experience getting along, but we are not 'Strickland' (2), it is impossible to avoid contact with others, people are social animals, Su Sui, you may be able to keep your distance from others for the rest of your life, but you will always feel lonely, maybe you have felt it."

"So," Jiang Zai met Su Sui's even cold gaze without fear, and his tone was flat but firm, "Why can't you give you, give me, a chance, to try to make a friend?" ”

Jiang Zai said: "Su Sui, offense is the best defense, I suggest you challenge social fear." ”

That's right......

It's a little owed.

The sun was dim, silently struggling in the depths of the thick shade, sticky and bloody.

The bright yellow street lamps lit up silently, slowly but surely shattering the last rays of the sunset, colliding with the splendor and grandeur of the eyes.

Su Sui thought that he should be emotional at this moment, and it was difficult to calm down.

But unexpectedly, she felt a deep peace in her heart.

Like the howling wind in the dark night, and like the roaring waves of the Xijiang River in the dark.

Thick and deep emotions are silently buried in the barren wilderness by time, and at the moment when she is not aware of it, in the gap between her defenselessness, it quietly takes root and sprouts, and unconsciously flourishes.

The long wind blew, just a rattling sound.

The thick and tangled root system deep in the soil has long been difficult to shake.

After a long silence, Su Sui opened his mouth to break the silence.

"Okay," Su Sui bent his eyebrows and looked at Jiang Zai, "Then I'll give us a chance." ”

Su Sui continued: "I heard that Young Master Jiang is very good at playing music. ”

"Guess what this song is," she handed Jiang Zai another MP3 earphone and raised her eyebrows silently, "I'll promise you if you guess right." ”

A white earphone cable was handed out from his white fingers, and it was smeared in the warm light.

Jiang Zai didn't speak, didn't ask what to do if he guessed wrong.

Silently, he reached out and took the earphone and placed it in his left ear.

A melody came from the headphones.

They began to walk side by side.

Within a few seconds, Jiang Zai let out a soft "tsk".

"I feel insulted by my 'awesomeness'", he said, looking at the crooked gravel road in front of him, and his flat tone exuded a sense of certainty, "Kikujiro's Summer." ”

In the bright melody of more than two minutes, Su Sui bent his head sideways and smiled.

The usually calm voice seems to have a curved arc.

"It's so obvious to release the water."

Jiang Zai glanced at her with lowered eyes, his expression indistinguishable.

It took a moment to turn his head away.

"Tsk" again.
