Chapter 652: Courage
The water waves were full of light, which was refracted on the faces of everyone on the boat, but at this moment, Jiang Yao only had Zhou Zheng in his eyes.
She watched Zhou Zheng sitting with other women, watching him drink red wine and raise glasses with other women, as if he was talking and laughing, but the smile in the corner of his eyes was very faint, but it matched Ning Lan, who was also calm opposite.
Jiang Yao withdrew his gaze and fixed his gaze on his hand.
"So that's the purpose of you bringing me here today......" Jiang Yao said helplessly: "I thought you really wanted to take me out for a break." β
"It's to be distracted." Lin Jiayi responded with a smile.
"Isn't that Zhou Zheng? What a coincidence. Jiang Zilin also opened her mouth to speak, her face was not turbulent, and her acting skills were really not superb enough.
Jiang Yao almost laughed, but she also knew that Jiang Zilin and Lin Jiayi bothered to plan for her, but they were worried that she would regret it in the future.
"Don't worry, I won't regret it, I know that I will be responsible for the decision I made today every day in the future." Jiang Yao took a deep breath and said, "I'll go first, you eat slowly." β
"Yaoyao, the boat has already left, where are you going?" Lin Jiayi said.
"Sit first, and then you can go when you come back." Jiang Zilin answered.
Jiang Yao gritted her teeth and stood in place without moving.
Lin Jiayi glanced at her and said tentatively: "You don't even feel comfortable getting closer to him now, don't you?" It's not like that's what it's like to be truly relieved of someone. Yaoyao, I ask you, how long has it been since you went to a psychiatrist? β
Jiang Yao's fingertips twitched, and she pursed her lips and was silent.
"Haven't you seen it since you recovered?" Jiang Zilin asked.
Jiang Yao nodded.
Lin Jiayi sighed and said: "There are some things we can't help you, but if we can help, we will never sit idly by." Yaoyao, come here. β
Jiang Yao squinted at her, her eyes were already slightly red, but she still obediently walked over and sat down in front of Lin Jiayi.
Lin Jiayi stretched out her hand, shook Jiang Yao's hand lightly and said: "I apologize first for what we lied to you today, we are really reckless in doing things, and we really don't respect you enough, we admit this, and we did it after consideration, so it doesn't matter if you blame us and blame us, we are ready to use the time to make up for it slowly." But today...... Today is the day when Ning Lan is ready to confess to Zhou Zheng, do you know? β
"Confession?" Jiang Yao's voice was a little hoarse, and finally reacted to these words and slowly raised her head.
"Yes, confession." Lin Jiayi had a smile in her eyes, "Ning Lan is a girl with ideas, if she fails to confess, she will be very chic." But even if there is no Ning Lan today, there will be a second Ning Lan and a third Ning Lan in the future...... You have become a habit of rejecting Zhou Zheng, have you seriously thought about it, do you really not want to be with Zhou Zheng? β
She held Jiang Yao's hand, and she could clearly notice that the fingers in her palm trembled obviously.
It doesn't seem to be.
"Then why?" Lin Jiayi asked.
"I don't deserve it." Jiang Yao replied.
This time she answered quickly, as if she had been thinking about it for a long time.
Jiang Zilin noticed that Jiang Yao's eyes had begun to turn red, and tears were surging up, she reached out and gently pushed Lin Jiayi, a little distressed, and signaled Lin Jiayi not to be ruthless and take her time.
Lin Jiayi looked at her and said, "Why don't you deserve it?" Your skills are compatible, your knowledge is compatible, your hobbies are compatible, your age is compatible, your mother can't be your master now, his parents must be willing to accept you...... What's not worthy? You also opened a store together, as long as the investors in this store are your friends, you have so many people who support you, why don't you deserve it? Zhou Zheng is a good person, but you are not bad either, Yaoyao, why don't you always understand? β
"It's not that I don't understand...... Jiang Yao's voice trembled a little: "I know everything, Jiayi, really...... If it's just these external things, I don't care at all, but I ......"
She has been married, has been high-flying, has been ruined, and has been scolded so bloody that she can't fight back.
Goofy had told her over and over again that she was worthless, that she was trash, that she was a pig and a dogβthose words would haunt her ears all night long, and the darkness would consume her.
She didn't want to admit that she was so deeply affected by Goofy, but at the moment she felt that she was in hell, even if she occasionally came to wander around the world, she was just wearing a seemingly kind and pure human skin, and the inside was still dirty.
"What's wrong with you?" Lin Jiayi said.
Jiang Yao shook her head.
"What you think yourself needs to be adjusted, we think you're good, everyone thinks you're good, don't believe you to listen." Lin Jiayi took her hand and walked in the direction of Zhou Zheng.
"I'm not going...... Jiayi, I'm not going! Jiang Yao suddenly began to struggle a little fiercely, and was afraid that her figure would be discovered, so she retreated again and again.
"Why can't it be him? Why not give it a chance? Zhou Zheng used all the methods to get close to you, didn't you even give you the courage to try? Yaoyao, if your life can be easily ruined by that scumbag, won't it just fulfill that scumbag's wish? Lin Jiayi said.
Jiang Yao covered her face and trembled.
Lin Jiayi had no choice but to retreat to the side with her.
Jiang Yao immediately gasped and pulled the table, for fear that Lin Jiayi would want to take her there.
"Jiayi, I beg you......" Jiang Yao's tears began to flow wantonly on her face: "I don't want to face ...... Ning Lan is so good, he will accept it, I shouldn't destroy them. β
Lin Jiayi and Jiang Zilin glanced at each other, and both of them were silent for a while.
Jiang Yao turned around and went downstairs and went to the first floor.
"I'll take a look." Jiang Zilin immediately got up and followed.
Lin Jiayi sat in place a little detached, and looked thoughtfully in the direction where Jiang Yao left.
She actually didn't know whether what she was doing was right or wrong, she wanted to help, but she was afraid that if she pushed too hard, she would lead things in a direction that Jiang Yao didn't want at all.
But...... She obviously desires it, she obviously wants it, why doesn't she have the courage to take a step forward? Is Goofy's influence really that big?
The other side.
Ning Lan put the wine glass down, looked at the time, felt that it was almost over, and said to Zhou Zheng: "Actually, it's just one thing to ask you out today." β
"I'll start with that, okay?" Zhou Zheng answered.
Ning Lan was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "You won't even give me a chance to confess, right?" β
"We really don't fit." Zhou Zheng smiled apologetically: "I can't delay you, but I think you probably won't be convinced by this reason alone, right?" β
"Of course, it was because I wasn't convinced that I chased after it." Ning Lan leaned over and stared at Zhou Zheng's eyes.
"Because I've had the best, I can't take anything else." Zhou Zheng spoke.
"The best ......" Ning Lan thought thoughtfully.
And the best is how good is it?
"Don't say it too early, there are a lot of things that can't be judged now."
"If you compare your looks, family background, fans or whatever, you're probably better, but none of these things matter to me. I heard from someone in the restaurant a few days ago that you asked me about the story of Jiang Yao, right? In fact, if you want to know, you can ask me directly. β
"Is that okay? I've been thinking about asking, but I don't think it's polite, if you're willing to say it......" Ning Lazy's eyes flashed.
"Of course." Zhou Zheng nodded.
This conversation lasted for a long time, from the first acquaintance blind date banquet, food dreams, to later going their separate ways, he said that Jiang Yao had given everything for him, and all the inferiority complex and timidity now are the sequelae of losing his dignity. He could wait, but what he was most afraid of was that Jiang Yao wouldn't even allow him to wait.
The boat gradually came to the shore, and Zhou Zheng's voice also fell, leaving Ning Lan stunned.
After a long time, Zhou Zheng opened his mobile phone and received a message from Ning Lan.
"Actually, Jiang Yao cares about you a lot, several times when we talked, she pretended to be eavesdropping on the table. I didn't know what her charm was...... Thank you today for letting me know and waiting for your wedding invitation. "There's an emoji attached to the back.
Zhou Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and leaned against the railing.
The other side.
Jiang Yao walked on the embankment for a long time, and his mind was full of Jiayi's questioning voice, and the cold wind blew on his face, and he suddenly sobered up a lot.
"Zhou Zheng used all means to get close to you, didn't you even give you the courage to try?"
They used to laugh at her for being timid and unable to stand things, and they thought that she had transformed after so many things, but they didn't expect ...... It's still the same as it was.
She still cringes when she really encounters things, and she also wants to be a decisive and straightforward person, but since there are such bold girls in this world, timid people should also be allowed......
Jiang Yao pursed her lips and closed her eyes, took out her mobile phone and called up the psychiatrist's WeChat.
"Dr. Li, I have some questions I want to talk to you about recently, I am sorry that I did not continue the follow-up treatment, do you have time recently?"
Putting down the phone, her fingertips were still clenching the edges, but the courage in her chest was abrupt
But a little bit more.
