Chapter 003: Love, Resentment, and Hatred
Qi Tong quickly dodged Ding Wei's hand and said, "Grandpa, grandma, I don't like Shu Wan for a moment of brain fever. I've loved Shu Wan for many, many years. That year, Shu Wan's parents took Shu Wan back from his hometown and took the entrance test for Wangcheng Middle School. She answered the questions quickly and accurately, and was admitted by the principal on the spot. That's when I saw her. She was sitting in the car, and her parents were talking to my mom and dad. She is a little girl, with bright eyes and bright teeth, a delicate face, and a bookish atmosphere, which makes my heart move. Since then, I have been paying attention to her, and the more I pay attention to her, the more I like it. She has a very cold temperament and does not like to communicate with people. I waited many years for an opportunity to get closer to her life. I would never give up on her. β
"I remember that day, too. She is a little girl, looking at Wenwen weak, but her temper is very stubborn, and she doesn't know how to be polite. Her mother asked her to greet us, but she didn't even lift her eyelids, pretending not to hear. I really don't know, even you like this, did your brain get kicked by a donkey?! Ding Wei answered.
"Xiaotong, do you know why she has a bad relationship with her parents?" Qi Tong's grandmother glanced at Ding Wei and asked.
Qi Tong replied: "Because her parents raised her at her grandmother's house since she was a child." Her grandmother's family is in the countryside, and it is a place where patriarchy is very serious. She has suffered a lot of grievances since she was a child. β
"Then her parents should be happy to pick her up from the countryside. Listening to what you just said, she seems to have a grudge against her parents? Qi Tong's grandmother asked.
"When she was in junior high school, she had a good relationship with a boy. The two encouraged each other and agreed to take the most difficult high school in their city together. They were all admitted. Her parents were going to pick her up, and she didn't want to leave the boy, so she was still throwing tantrums. Qi Tong explained.
"So, is the boy married now?" Qi Tong's grandmother asked.
"It's over. The children are several years old. The boy did not attend that high school and was picked up by his uncle and went abroad. He has been studying and working abroad since then, and is still working abroad, and has no plans to return to China to work," Qi Tong replied, "Shu Wan has never been in a relationship before, and he is probably waiting for that boy." In the past two years, Shu Wan got in touch with the boy and learned that he was married. β
"So, this girl is a person who values love and righteousness......" Qi Tong's grandfather muttered.
He looked at Ding Wei and said, "I really don't know what kind of psychology you have for such a girl, saying bad things about her again and again." β
Ding Wei was silent.
"And what do you think now?" Qi Tong's grandmother asked Qi Tong.
Qi Tong shook his head and said, "I don't know what to do now." β
Qi Tong's grandmother thought for a while and said, "Shu Wan said that she didn't want to get married now, did she say that she didn't want to get engaged?" β
Qi Tong was stunned and said, "That's not true." β
"Just ask her. I mean, if you can, let's arrange an engagement first," Qi Tong's grandmother looked at Qi Tong's grandfather and said, "Old man, do you agree?" β
Qi Tong's grandfather nodded and said, "I also think that we can arrange an engagement first." In fact, I also think that getting married directly is a bit too hasty. β
"Xiaotong, you go and communicate with Shu Wan. Marriage is a lifelong thing, so be cautious. Qi Tong's grandmother said.
"Okay," Qi Tong became happy, ran over and hugged his grandmother, and said, "Sure enough, Jiang is still old and spicy." β
"Haha, are you complimenting or hurting people?!" Qi Tong's grandmother burst out laughing.
**************
After work, Shu Wan didn't want to go home. She sits in the office, working on the work that she has accumulated at hand, which can be handled today and tomorrow.
The phone rang, and the security guard downstairs called, saying, "Director Shu, a man named Qi Tong is looking for you, please ask him to come up?" β
"No, I don't. I'll have to wait a while, you can ask him to wait downstairs. Shu Wan said.
She hung up the phone and deliberately didn't go down.
Qi Tong lasted for half an hour and sent a WeChat message: Shu Wan, you are so ruthless.
Shu Wanhui: You can go at any time.
Qi Tong: Don't dare. Are you hungry? Whatever I want to eat, I'll go and pack it.
Shu Wan: I'm not hungry, I'm already full.
Qi Tong: I was wrong. I'm here to apologize to you.
Shu Wan: You're right, I'm the one who is wrong. It's that I don't know what to do.
Qi Tong: Then you're busy, I'll wait here.
Shu Wan: Whatever you want.
An hour later, Shu Wan went downstairs with his bag.
Qi Tong greeted him with a smile on his face and said, "Director Shu, where do you want to go?" I send you. β
"No, I don't. I have my own car," Shu Wan said with a straight face, "If you have something, say it, and if you have nothing to do, you can leave." β
"Something, something. I don't have a car, can Director Shu give me a ride? Qi Tong said with a blushing face.
Shu Wan gave him a blank look.
The security guard was smiling.
Shu Wan took Qi Tong to the underground parking lot by elevator and asked, "You really didn't drive?" β
"Of course not. I knew you wouldn't take my car easily, so I just asked the driver to take me over. β
ββ¦β¦ What about drivers? β
"Still waiting in front of the building. I'll tell him to go back. Qi Tong said.
After calling the driver, he said, "I think our grandma is going to be disappointed." β
"Oh?"
"The driver is so persistent waiting there, I can't catch up, I think he must be entrusted by our grandmother, I want to see your demeanor first so that I can go back and report, but you didn't show up."
ββ¦β¦β
"Why are you women so gossipy?"
"You men don't gossip?"
"Yes, yes, we also gossip, we gossip more than women."
"Cutβ"
"Let's go to Yuekenzhai to eat, okay?"
"Not good."
Shu Wan drove directly to the supermarket. She plans to grab a bite to eat near the supermarket and then visit the supermarket.
"Shu Wan, I've booked a seat in Yuekenzhai......" Qi Tong looked at the route and complained.
"Forget it today, I'm not in the mood or energy, and I can't stand the noise. I barely slept last night and wanted to go back early to catch up on my sleep. β
Qi Tong wanted to ask, "How do you know that I arranged the show"; When the words came to his mouth, he asked, "Didn't you go to bed early yesterday?" What, insomnia? β
"It's not. Something happened last night, and I went out later. β
"What's the matter?"
"A friend's business."
Qi Tong saw that Shu Wan refused to talk more, so he stopped asking. He said sincerely: "Shu Wan, I formally apologize to you, I shouldn't hang up on you." β
"What else?"
"I shouldn't make my own decisions without consulting you. I'm going to explain that. I didn't know beforehand. Early this morning, my mom called me and didn't reveal what was going on. β
"What else?"
"I want to get married early, so I deliberately made everyone mistakenly think that we have already obtained the certificate. I knew it would eventually reach my parents. When the time comes, they will definitely make a move. Shu Wan, I was wrong. I won't do that again next time. β
"What else?"
"And ah-oh, scolded you, scolded you, kind of scolded, made you angry."
"What else?"
"And? Shu Wan, my brain is not enough, I really can't remember. You're good at what you're doing, can you remind me? β
"You say I don't like you and don't love you, do you?"
"That's when I got my nerves wrong and said angry words. I know it in my own heart, like a mirror. If you don't have a good impression of me, how can you reply to my WeChat? If you don't have a crush on me, how can you go out alone with me? If you don't like me, how can you possibly let me hold you, hug you, and kiss you? If you don't like me, how can you possibly let me into your house? If you don't like me, how can you contact me when you know that Guo Roumei exists? If you don't love me, with your skills, how could my mother touch your face, and how could Guo Roumei bite your arm? If you don't love me, how can you make me and youβthat? If you don't love me, how can I show up in your car and talk to you with your face in the middle of pising you off? β
"The analogy is a good use. Did you really figure it out? β
"Figured it out. My grandparents also said that it was a bit too hasty to get married now. They were so thieves that they guessed at once that we didn't actually get a marriage certificate. Shu Wan, thank you for giving me the opportunity. Thank you and love me too. β
"It's good to figure it out."
"Shu Wan, my grandparents asked me to ask you, would you like to get engaged first?"
"Engaged?"
"Hmm. Of course, there is no hurry. It must have been after officially meeting the parents of both parties. β
"Let's talk about it."
"So, are you going to my house again this week?"
"It depends. Let's see if I've got something to do over the weekend. β
"Okay."
"Get out of the car."
"Huh?"
"Just eat something here. It's not good to park at the supermarket, so we walked over after eating. β
"Oh."
The two got out of the car.
Shu Wan found a clean shop and asked for a cold skin and a bottle of Bingfeng.
Qi Tong thought about it and asked for a cold dish, a cold skin, a meat bun, and a bottle of fruit beer.
The two of them quickly finished eating, quickly finished shopping at the supermarket, and rushed home.
When I got home, as soon as I closed the door, Qi Tong's kisses came overwhelmingly.
Shu Wan fell into his arms, his heart beating like a drum.
After what seemed like a century, Qi Tong rested his head on Shu Wan's shoulder and said, "Shu Wan, you will never leave me, okay?" β
Shu Wan gasped and didn't speak.
Qi Tong continued: "Shu Wan, you don't know how much I like you. β
Shu Wan spoke: "Actually, I always have a sense of awe for love, and I want to stay away. The books I have read and the people I have met have told me that love is not a good thing, and that there must be hatred if there is love. Don't tell me, we're different. We can't avoid it. β
"Shu Wan, I know we can't avoid it. Love and resentment, like brothers and sisters, are entangled in eternal life and eternity. But I want you to remember that I will be anxious, I will complain, I will blame you, just because I love you. β
"Because you love me, can you hurt me at will under the guise of loving me?"
"Shu Wan, I was wrong. I will never again. I'll tell you about it. If it doesn't make sense, I will fully trust you and will not be cranky. β
