Chapter 4: People from far away live in my heart 04
This incident brought my relationship with Ning Qiyuan, which was not very good to begin with, to a freezing point. I don't understand why he treated me like this, and I don't understand why he is still like this after two years.
A few days after the exchange meeting, Jiang Sijin called me and scolded me in a very impolite tone: "Tong Shuchen, you really know how to cause trouble for me. You can't stand seeing me get better just because your relationship is not going well, right? Do you know? You gave my school and phone number to Lin Zhan. Now that guy calls me every day for no reason. He comes to me whenever he is free. No matter what I say, he won't give up. I have never seen a child as persistent as him! In short, you are the one who caused this trouble for me, and you have to be responsible for solving it for me! Otherwise, we can't be sisters anymore!"
Of course I knew that this was just Jiang Sijin's angry words, so I just suggested: "He doesn't give up, probably because he hasn't met Li Anran. If you reject him in front of Li Anran, maybe he will give up."
"Then I'll do as you say." Jiang Sijin made up her mind and hung up the phone.
The next day at 5pm, I met Jiang Sijin and Lin Zhan at the school gate.
Lin Zhan seemed very happy and waved to me when he saw me: "Sister Shuchen!"
"Lin Zhan, I am a few months older than Shu Chen. You call her sister, and you have to call me sister too!" Jiang Sijin raised her eyebrows and took the opportunity to educate Lin Zhan.
"That's different!" Lin Zhan replied immediately.
"What's the difference?" Jiang Sijin asked again.
Lin Zhan smiled shyly and didn't answer, but his face turned a little red.
Jiang Sijin seemed to understand what he meant, and was choked and speechless. She turned around and glared at me fiercely, then took out her cell phone and called Li Anran.
I sighed helplessly, looking at Lin Zhan who knew nothing with some reluctance. I just hoped that after seeing Li An, he would stop being so obsessed and leave on his own initiative.
It is actually very beautiful to like someone. But when you find out that person does not belong to you, you will inevitably feel pain. Instead of this, it is better to give up early, which is the best for yourself and others.
"Li Anran is still in the research institute. Let's go to the dining place and wait for him." Jiang Sijin said after finishing the call.
The dining place was not far from the school, and there were not many people there at this hour, so it was easy to find a seat.
As soon as Jiang Sijin sat down, Lin Zhan took the initiative to sit next to her. Jiang Sijin's face darkened and said, "Lin Zhan, go sit with Shu Chen."
Lin Zhan looked at her, then at me, and sat down reluctantly.
"Li Anran, is he your boyfriend?" Lin Zhan suddenly asked.
Jiang Sijin smiled, nodded and said directly: "Yes, I'll bring you to see him so that you won't be in trouble!"
I knew that she probably had no other way to deal with Lin Zhan, so she spoke so directly.
However, I underestimated Lin Zhan. After listening to me, he didn't react at all, and said confidently: "I am also very good."
"Little brat!" Jiang Sijin sneered and went to order food.
"If I am better than him, will you choose me?" Lin Zhan asked again.
Jiang Sijin raised her head and uttered two words: "No!"
Lin Zhan felt lost for a moment, but soon recovered and said, "I'll treat you to this meal! Sijin, Sister Shuchen, order whatever you want."
"Then I won't be polite!" Jiang Sijin didn't even raise her head, called the waiter and ordered several signature dishes in one breath. She was really rude.
Seeing that she wanted to order more after ordering five or six dishes, I couldn't help but pull her and said, "That's enough, there are only four of us."
"Sister Shuchen, I have money." Lin Zhan reminded me with an embarrassed smile, and he was just short of writing the five big words "I am a rich second generation" on his forehead.
This was the first time I saw such a simple-minded kid like Lin Zhan. I felt distressed and helpless. I could only signal Jiang Sijin with my eyes not to go too far.
Jiang Sijin glared at me, then slowly closed the menu and picked up a cup to pour some water.
When Lin Zhan saw her, he immediately and attentively poured her a full cup, and then poured me one, looking like a caring and warm man.
After waiting for about 20 minutes, when the dishes were just being served, Li Anran appeared. As soon as he sat down, Jiang Sijin took his hand and introduced : "This is my boyfriend, Li Anran. Anran, this is Lin Zhan."
Lin Zhan was not to be outdone. He stood up and extended his hand to Li Anran, shyly but boldly saying, "Hello, I'm Jiang Sijin's suitor."
Li Anran smiled, held his hand, and said in a very persuasive way: "Si Jin has always had many suitors. However, this is the first time I've seen someone as direct as you."
Seeing that something was wrong, I quickly said, "Can you please sit down and talk? You're blocking me from picking up food."
After saying that, I didn't hesitate and picked up the chopsticks to eat.
Jiang Sijin rolled her eyes at me and said, "You'll die of hunger!"
I just pretended I didn't hear it.
During the meal, I don't know if Jiang Sijin did it on purpose. She, who usually never picked up food for Li Anran, picked up food for him frequently, and Li Anran also enjoyed it and cooperated with her to eat it all. You know, Li Anran used to pick up food for Jiang Sijin.
Jiang Sijin seemed determined to be ruthless to the end and kept comparing Li Anran with Lin Zhan - apart from his better family background, Lin Zhan was almost incomparable to Li Anran in every way.
Gradually, Lin Zhan's mood became more and more depressed. I looked at his face full of loss and hurt, and sighed in my heart.
In a relationship between three people, one person will always get hurt.
The meal lasted more than an hour, and Li Anran even used the opportunity of going to the bathroom to secretly pay the bill, leaving Lin Zhan with no chance at all.
After leaving the restaurant, Lin Zhan said goodbye to Jiang Sijin and me, hailed a taxi on the side of the road, and left quickly as if he was escaping.
Seeing Lin Zhan leave, Jiang Sijin also breathed a sigh of relief and said to me: "This little brat should give up, right? If he doesn't give up, I don't know how to face him."
I didn't say anything, not knowing how to answer her. Whether Lin Zhan would give up or not, none of us knew.
Li Anran had something else to do in the evening, so he chatted with Jiang Sijin for a while and then left.
When I accompanied Jiang Sijin to the roadside to stop a car, I suddenly thought of what Yan Yin said to me that day, so I mentioned it to her.
When Jiang Sijin heard this, she found it a little unbelievable: "What does Yan Yin mean by saying this? He doesn't deliberately want to break up An Ran and me ? Does he like me too?" After she said this, she giggled.
"I don't think he would say such a thing for no reason, maybe..."
"Maybe he just wanted to talk to you under some pretext!" Jiang Sijin answered me, nonchalantly, "Or maybe he's just jealous because he sees that An Ran and I are close, but he's still single! Haha! Next time I have a chance, I'll go ask him and see what he really thinks!"
I thought about it and felt that maybe it was really as Jiang Sijin said, so I didn't bring it up anymore.
