Chapter 96: Get in the Car
I was slightly surprised to see Xu Shu driving over in person. Although I was angry that she had just driven me away without regard for my feelings, I did not hate her. Because at that time I chose to protect the little witch and let Xu Shu down. It was my fault that she drove me away, and I could not blame her.
Now Xu Shu seems to have changed her mind and came to me in person, which should mean that she is no longer angry and wants to make peace with me.
I felt a little proud in my heart. Finally, the big star surrendered again. Although I knew that she didn't like me, at least she still valued me as a friend.
Out of pride, I didn't get in her car. I just pretended to be calm and said, "Didn't you just say you wouldn't take me? Why are you asking me to get in the car now?"
Xu Shu looked at me seriously, then sighed, "Tang Qian! You're not going to ask me to beg you again, are you? You have a really bad temper! You're even more arrogant than me! Men should be more broad-minded and not be as petty as us women, okay?"
Really...really amazing! She was the one who drove me away, and I was already good enough that I didn't blame her. Now, she said that I was not manly enough and not broad-minded enough. Is it manly to be able to leave when she calls me and come when she calls me?
I smiled slightly and said, "My understanding of men is slightly different from yours. I think it would not be very manly for me to get in your car at this time. So thank you anyway. I will walk back by myself!" I waved to her, turned around and continued walking.
Xu Shu had no choice but to drive after me. She shouted from inside the car, "What do you want me to do to get in the car? Do you really want me to beg you?"
As I walked, I said, "Why do you insist on me getting in the car? Wouldn't it be nice to let me walk?"
"You're going to walk like this until dawn?"
"It's better to walk till dawn than to take your car!"
I walked slowly while talking to her. Xu Shu was like this, and my anger had long since disappeared. And who told me to like her? If it wasn't for the shameless act, who would be willing to sit outside in the cold weather without taking a car?
I made up my mind that I would get in the car as soon as Xu Shuzhen begged me. The wind was blowing so hard that I was almost freezing. And I could also see how important I was in her mind.
As expected, Xu Shu couldn't help herself and shouted, "Okay, okay! Master Tang Qian, I beg you, please let me take you on your way?"
Although Xu Shu's request was a bit too frivolous, he finally did it. Without saying anything, I quickly got back into the car, rubbed my cold hands desperately while closing the door, and said with a smile: "Really, you should have said it earlier. I was left outside in the cold for such a long time that my hands are almost frozen!"
Xu Shu stared at me in disbelief. My change was too fast and too obvious. It was obvious that I was teasing her before! She was stunned for a long time before she reacted. She punched my shoulder in anger and said angrily, "Tang Qian! You... you are so cruel! You made me beg you twice in one night and I cried. You are really great!"
I laughed: "You questioned me twice and kicked me out again. You are so overbearing! "
Xu Shu was both angry and amused, and said, "You really don't want to suffer any loss at all. You have been planning to make up for it for a long time, right? You are really amazing!"
"No, that requires your cooperation. If you don't fall for it, then I won't be able to do anything about it!"
Xu Shu rolled her eyes, and it looked like she was about to bite me. Although I was laughing at her, I seemed to be completely heartless and didn't take it seriously. But I was still very sad inside.
The beauty sitting next to me can be said to be close at hand, yet far away. She and I can have a good chat and joke with each other. We can respect and trust each other. But when it comes to love between a man and a woman, it is out of reach.
I guess with Xu Shu's intelligence, how could she not know that I have feelings for her? Everything that happened in the study just now is still fresh in my mind. When I tried to hug her, her stiff body and panic told me that she didn't want to. After that, she immediately returned to normal and pretended that nothing had happened. That was because she still valued me and didn't want to lose me as a friend. It also reminded me that this matter was over, please don't do this again in the future!
A most basic truth is, if Xu Shu liked me, at that time and in that atmosphere, would she reject me?
So the answer is that she doesn't like me, or to be more precise, she doesn't love me! In fact, it's not surprising at all. I'm a nobody, with no money and no power. Why would a big star like me? I'm just being sentimental.
I was very sad and helpless! I couldn't show my grief and anger because she still valued me and regarded me as a good friend. And she rejected me very smartly without hurting my self-esteem!
I can't blame anyone, because it's not my fault that I like her, and it's not her fault that she doesn't like me. We are equal and have the right to love or not love. We can't force others to do something they don't want to do.
I understood Xu Shu's intentions, so I pretended not to care and even joked with her. I tried my best to express that my behavior just now was just a misunderstanding and hoped that she would not care about it. I would not make things difficult for her again.
Deep down in my heart, I am actually crying! Silent crying!
Xu Shu glared at me, and seeing my playful smile, she couldn't help but burst out laughing. She shook her head, turned her hands back to drive the car, and said, "Tang Qian, I don't understand you more and more. You used to be quite honest and steady, how come you suddenly became so cunning? You even want to plot against me for such a small matter. Have you been with my sister for too long and been led astray by her?"
I laughed and said, "How is that possible? Your sister is just a little naughty. She is still young and ignorant, and loves to make trouble, so people can't stand her. But she is a simple girl by nature. Her heart is as pure as a blank sheet of paper. She is much cuter than she appears!"
Xu Shu couldn't help but turn around and look me up and down, saying, "I've been her sister for more than ten years, but I don't think I know her as well as you have in the two days you've known her. It's really blind to say that there's nothing between you two. Tang Qian, you're awesome. You'd rather offend me than betray my sister. How dare you say you don't like her?"
I smiled bitterly and said, "There's really nothing between your sister and me!"
Xu Shu snorted, "If you don't say it, I might as well tell you the truth! We are all smart people, who can't see that my sister really likes you! She treats you so well that even I, her biological sister, am jealous. I have watched her grow up since she was a child, and when have I ever seen her so anxious for a man, she almost turned against me for a man. Tang Qian, you are really good at it, I admire you, if you have the guts, then deny it and say that my sister doesn't like you at all, I don't think you have the nerve to say it out loud."
I was speechless! I knew better than anyone else in the world that her sister loved me more than anything else. That was the purest and most precious love a girl could have! Although I couldn't accept it, I still felt the depth and weight of that love. It was so heavy that it made me breathless.
Seeing that I didn't say anything, Xu Shu got even more excited. She said, "Well! Even you can't deny it, right? What did you and her do in the lounge? Do you think I can't guess? A man and a girl alone in a room, what good things can they do?"
Xu Shu became more and more anxious as she spoke. She stepped on the brake and the Lamborghini stopped immediately. She turned to me and said excitedly, "Tang Qian! I know you are a good person and you would not do such a thing. I guess it was my daring sister who provoked you, right? But! Tang Qian, I beg you, I really beg you. I only have this one sister, I can't just watch her make mistakes and do nothing. She is too young, really just a child, she has a very bright future waiting for her in the future. You must help me, don't let her get stuck like this! Otherwise, her life will be over!"
I saw Xu Shu was so nervous that he started to speak incoherently, so I shouted, "Xu Shu! Calm down!"
Xu Shu was startled, opened his mouth wide, and was so frightened that he couldn't speak any more. I softened my tone and said, "Don't get excited! Things are not as bad as you say. First of all, I want to make it clear that I am an adult with normal thinking and mentality. I am not interested in children, so you can rest assured. Besides, your sister is in love for the first time, which is normal and nothing to be surprised about. Don't think that the sky is going to fall. It's very common for her age to have such a thing, and I haven't heard of many people falling into an irretrievable situation and ruining their lives. We are all experienced people, and we should understand that love is not a scourge, but a very pure, precious and beautiful feeling . We should not be afraid of love and destroy it immediately. We should protect her, guide her, and let this love go on the right path. If we are right, this feeling may become a driving force to make her more outstanding and brilliant, don't you think?"
Xu Shu was stunned and asked in confusion: "I... I don't understand, can you explain it more simply?"
I sighed and asked her, "Did you like anyone when you were a student?"
Xu Shu blushed and said, "It's inexplicable. Why are you asking this?"
I said, "If you have ever liked someone, you will understand what I mean."
Xu Shu thought for a moment and shook his head, "No, when I was in school, I almost never interacted with boys. Later, I was busy with my singing career, so I had even fewer opportunities."
I said, "Really? No wonder you can't understand. Well, let me explain it more clearly. I guarantee you will understand. But I want you to look at this matter from a different perspective. Don't get so frightened and panicked when you hear about love and affection."
