Chapter Twenty-Eight: A One-Way Life
Looking back, Xu Ran sighed with some emotion, the changes in the world are really wonderful, unreasonable at the same time, but the logic is extremely self-consistent.
Life is like an interlocking invisible chain, one section is set on the next, before you board a certain section, you don't know where you will go, and when you arrive, you look back and find everything, and it seems that you have laid the foreshadowing before, and it has long been doomed.
At that time, I liked Lee Ji-eun so much, I must have never imagined that I would go to the other extreme in the future, and I didn't even want to contact even a little Korean Wave again, and my subconscious avoidance even seemed to have some PTSD.
At that time, I had irreparable trouble with that person, and maybe there was part of the reason for this.
However, if it weren't for the reflection on that incident, it may be that Xu Ran's resistance to Hallyu has not weakened much now.
Now that I think about it, do most of the things done really make sense?
was once so obsessed with Lee Ji-eun, but for a while later, he didn't have any interest in Hallyu.
I used to like that person so much, but I and she have completely disappeared from each other's lives and become people of two worlds.
If making a decision is as good as choosing a task in a game, skipping those meaningless "side quests", focusing on the things you should focus on, and loving the people you should love, everything can be so clear and simple, but unfortunately there is no such auxiliary annotation in life.
But this is also the charm of life, facing different choices, but can only move forward and not backward, no one knows what will happen in the future, just let it go.
"Xu Ran, are you listening?"
Li Wenshi's slightly raised volume pulled Xu Ran back to reality from his immersed thoughts.
"Ah, teacher, I'm sorry, I just thought of something, what did you say?"
Xu Ran was a little apologetic, and he was a little distracted for a while, so he put Li Wenshi aside.
Li Wenshi's expression was a little strange: "I'm asking how you feel about my proposal, but you have always had that complicated expression. Could it be... You're IU's anti-anti, right? Just after the mention of IU, your expression is strange. ”
"Uh... How could it be, teacher, you think too much. ”
Xu Ran hurriedly denied that even if he no longer cared about Li Zhien, he would never be a black fan.
But I pride myself on letting go.
In order to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past, Xu Ran has maintained a bland mentality since college.
Don't take the initiative, don't refuse, don't be responsible.
Xu Ran is not a scumbag, but this criterion unexpectedly fits his style.
It's more like a kind of indifference, because of the fear of being hurt to build a wall of hearts.
"You can't trust me? Rest assured, the labor contract or anything will be formal. And the teacher will not treat you badly, I believe that the treatment that the school can give must not be as good as the treatment I get from the trust relationship. ”
Li Wenshi frowned, he really had a good impression of Xu Ran, and he happened to have this opportunity and relationship and wanted to help him, but when he saw Xu Ran's appearance just now, he said that it was not IU's reason, so he was a little unhappy in his heart.
"The teacher has said so, then I will be respectful and obey my fate, thank you for the teacher's help, I will repay you if I have the opportunity in the future!"
Seeing this, Xu Ran didn't want to say anything to shirk, so he quickly stood up and bowed to Li Wenshi to express his gratitude.
Xu Ran felt that since he had let it go, at least he felt so, if he still resisted this opportunity, it would not be generous enough, as if he was deceiving himself.
Although Xu Ran didn't dare to guarantee that if he was lucky enough to meet Li Zhien, the heart lake that had been closed for a long time would not ripple like it did at the beginning.
All he could do was pray that he, a penniless little clerk, would not appear at the elevator entrance or the corner of the office, and happen to meet her who is now red to purple.
That way his thoughts wouldn't be turbulent.
-------------------------------------
By the time Xu Ran returned to the community with his packed things, it was almost four o'clock, and he finally accepted Li Wenshi's kindness and gave up the school's official work-study scholarship.
However, Xu Ran didn't think it was an adventure, he believed in Li Wenshi's personality, and he would never do anything to trap a poor student.
- At least he is quite poor now, Xu Ran feels that his Engel coefficient is likely to have exceeded 80% in the past two months.
"Ugh."
Xu Ran sighed, his summer vacation life - now it seems that it may be more accurate to say that it is a two-month part-time job, has come to an end.
During the day, I went to work in Loen to do chores, and when I had free time, I helped out the neighbor, and I needed to make up for my language in my rare spare time. At most, I can only visit Seoul, a world metropolis that I am not familiar with, and I can only dream of traveling around the world as before.
"Workers, workers, workers, all of them are people!"
Xu Ran felt that he couldn't be so depressed because he needed to be self-reliant, so he clenched his fists and worked hard to cheer himself up.
Xu Ran, who entered the building, suddenly remembered the mysterious letter.
Two weeks ago, Xu Ran sent a reply to the anonymous newcomer, and then he was busy with the exam and didn't care about it anymore.
"Is there really a reply?"
Xu Ran was a little surprised, it seems that he is a very persevering letter writer, the same blue envelope as the previous two times, and the signature is the same as the same "WS", which is not bad with anonymity, and does not provide any clues.
But this time, Xu Ran was a little looking forward to what the content of the other party's letter would be, since he had confirmed his identity, then he should be open and honest about something, is it really someone who has anything to do with him?
If there are still some meaningless words, Xu Ran is ready to directly regard them as harassment and ignore them again.
When he arrived at the door of his house, Xu Ran unexpectedly saw a familiar figure.
With a slender and upright figure and fair skin, Xu Ran recognized at a glance that it was the chipmunk lady who lived next door to him.
Xu Ran and Park Chaeyoung hadn't had a good communication for more than a week, but at this time, I saw her lying on the wall with a pen and writing something on the sticky notes.
"Miss Luo Jie, long time no see."
Xu Ran reached out and patted Park Chaeyoung's shoulder, who was facing away from him.
"Ahh
Park Chaeyoung, who was concentrating on leaving a message, was slapped coldly, and was directly frightened and lay on the wall, and when she looked back at Xu Ran, she couldn't help but roll her eyes slightly: "I'm scared to death, are you walking without sound?" And didn't you just see it a few days ago. ”
"If you have seen it if you ignore it, then you have indeed seen it." Xu Ran shrugged his shoulders and was noncommittal.
Seeing Xu Ran's attitude towards complaining about herself, Park Chaeyoung was a little ashamed, she is a girl, how can she be like a nobody after you came into contact.
It's just that what she doesn't know is that Xu Ran is actually very awkward in her heart, but Xu Ran is more afraid that her unnaturalness will make Park Chaeyoung embarrassed, so she has to try to pretend that she doesn't care.
Seeing that Park Chaeyoung just pouted and stared at herself without speaking, Xu Ran pointed to the note that had been held in Park Chaeyoung's hand and said, "What secret is Miss Park writing, maybe I have the honor to know?" ”
