Chapter 381 Cheng Wenxuan's Side Story 4
He Ruyun was delighted when she received Cheng Wenxuan's call.
She has feelings for Cheng Wenxuan.
After all, Cheng Wenxuan is outstanding in terms of appearance, character, and even ability.
It's easy to fall for someone like that.
She could sense that Cheng Wenxuan treated her very well, but he never gave her a definite answer, leaving her constantly wondering if he liked her too.
She had already decided that if Cheng Wenxuan hadn't made any move by the end of the semester, she would take the initiative to pursue him, so that her feelings for him wouldn't have been in vain.
She received a call from Cheng Wenxuan, asking her to meet him.
He Ruyun had a little bit of hope, hoping that Cheng Wenxuan wanted to end their ambiguous relationship.
So when she heard Cheng Wenxuan say that there was someone he really liked and he didn't know whether he should refuse to start a relationship, her smile froze on her face as she silently listened to Cheng Wenxuan's wavering.
For a moment, He Ruyun was completely at a loss as to how to face the situation.
"So I'm sorry, Junior Sister, I called you out today to make things clear. You can blame me, I have no complaints," Cheng Wenxuan said earnestly.
This matter had already exhausted him, especially after meeting Mo Shuyao, he felt that matters of the heart were just a troublesome thing.
He shouldn't have had any illusions.
He's become unlike himself lately; relationships are truly a tormenting thing.
He Ruyun stared wide-eyed at the familiar yet unfamiliar person in front of her, in disbelief. "Senior Brother Cheng knows I like you?"
Cheng Wenxuan nodded sheepishly, "I noticed a little bit!"
A young girl's affection is evident even in her eyes; it cannot be hidden.
In comparison, he hid his feelings very well, unlike her naivety.
He Ruyun clenched her hands in embarrassment, "You said you like me too?"
"Yes!"
He Ruyun wanted to laugh out loud because it was really funny.
What she had been unsure about was now certain.
If someone you like also likes you, you should be happy.
"But there's a very special girl pursuing you. I wonder if you still like me because of her?" He Ruyun looked at Cheng Wenxuan expressionlessly.
Cheng Wenxuan nodded: "Yes!"
"Why?" He Ruyun looked at him in disbelief. "Senior Brother Cheng, I don't believe you are that kind of person. We've known each other for a while, and other senior students have a very high opinion of you and highly approve of your character. I can't accept my own assessment of you."
Cheng Wenxuan looked at her with some surprise.
He is fully aware of how annoying his own actions are.
Even Mo Shuyao, upon hearing this, did not suspect anything. Instead, she directly acknowledged his crime and left gracefully, unwilling to waste her time on someone like him.
Ke He Ru Yun actually asked him why.
Cheng Wenxuan didn't know what to say for a moment, but he felt a strong impulse in his heart.
This impulse made him want to tell the other person about his shameful past, a past he never wanted to mention.
"My grandfather was abducted by human traffickers..."
For the first time, Cheng Wenxuan really wanted to tell his past to someone.
He pathetically wanted to talk about his pain, just so the other person could understand the reason for his terrible personality and thus find it less difficult to let go of the hurt he had caused her.
"That woman, for the sake of the person she loved, made my father suffer ten years of forced labor in a frontier farm, such a harsh place. If it weren't for my third uncle, he wouldn't have been able to come back unscathed. Without my third uncle, I don't know if I would have been able to grow up safely..."
"Feelings are a terrifying thing. They make people yearn for them and fear them. I may have inherited that woman's genes. I'm selfish in this regard. I only want to receive, not give. Even if I have to give, the other person has to show me 100% affection before I'll give."
"I only just realized that I truly am her son; in many ways, I'm just like her..."
"You're great, and I like you too. But when someone comes along who's really good to me and likes me a lot, I hesitate. I want someone to love me unconditionally and wholeheartedly!"
He Ruyun fell silent.
She should hate Cheng Wenxuan.
After all, according to their current understanding, Cheng Wenxuan should be considered a "central air conditioner" (someone who is nice to everyone), a womanizer, and a scumbag?
However, when it comes to being a scumbag, he didn't agree to date any of them; he just secretly chose one behind the scenes.
Even after spending half a day choosing, he voluntarily came forward to confess his crimes.
Actually, he could have made his own choice, rejected the other party, and never mentioned it again for the rest of his life, since neither she nor the other girl knew about the other's existence anyway.
This can be considered as passing the moral test!
But after hearing about Cheng Wenxuan's childhood experiences, she would subconsciously make excuses for him.
As I've said before, an unhappy childhood takes a lifetime to heal.
"Brother Cheng, don't say that! You're not like her. You didn't harm us. If you had agreed to both sides and come secretly, that would have hurt us. The fact that you're willing to speak up shows that you still don't want to hurt us."
After comforting herself, He Ruyun wanted to slap herself.
Please, even if there are too many reasons and too many excuses, she is still one of the victims! And she actually comforted him.
Cheng Wenxuan was not surprised at all.
He Ruyun was a very good person. Her parents raised her very well, and she was someone who still believed in the light.
Meeting him and learning about this distressing matter might be the most difficult setback she'll ever experience in her life.
"You must be thinking about pursuing a doctorate! Good luck, and I hope you'll meet someone who's completely devoted to you in the future." Cheng Wenxuan raised his glass.
Everything was settled, and he was really tired. He wanted to go home, get a good night's sleep, and then, after waking up, forget everything and start afresh.
He Ruyun clearly understood Cheng Wenxuan's meaning. After hesitating for a moment, she also raised her glass.
boom!
Their glasses clinked gently, both of them trying to maintain their smiles, tilting their heads back to drink, a toast to their last meeting.
Seeing that Cheng Wenxuan was about to leave, He Ruyun had a few questions in her mind, so she stopped him.
"Senior Brother Cheng, you and the other one..."
"Her name is Mo Shuyao."
"Oh, did you tell Mo Shuyao?"
He Ruyun didn't know why she wanted to know the answer so much.
Cheng Wenxuan nodded: "I did tell her, I was the first one to tell her."
He Ruyun nodded to indicate that she understood, then lowered her head, seemingly lost in thought.
Cheng Wenxuan waited patiently for a while, but she didn't ask any more questions. "Is there anything else you need to ask? If not, I may have to leave."
He Ruyun looked up at him, suddenly smiled, and said, "Senior Brother Cheng, you're not someone who likes to talk about your private matters, but you just told me about them, even after you came to distance yourself from me. So, you're telling me your sad stories to help me feel better?"
Cheng Wenxuan is a person who values his personal privacy very much.
Unless he truly approves, no one can know about his family situation.
Cheng Wenxuan remained silent, but also did not deny it.
He Ruyun waited for a long time but didn't get an answer, and her heart sank to the bottom.
“Senior Brother Cheng, I’ve known you for so long, and I didn’t even know you had a third uncle. I know nothing about your family situation, so…” He Ruyun stared at Cheng Wenxuan and said, “You said you like me, do you really like me?”
Didn't he only start liking her after he discovered she liked him?
To put it bluntly, he only felt that he liked He Ruyun because he sensed that He Ruyun liked him.
Cheng Wenxuan was stunned, "Junior Sister..."
He wanted to explain that it wasn't like that, that he should like her.
He Ruyun didn't give him a chance to explain, saying, "I'm not stupid, Cheng Wenxuan."
"You only like me because I like you so much... so much. You don't like me as a person, you like the feelings I have for you."
Cheng Wenxuan: "..."
Looking at his ugly face, He Ruyun felt a surge of revenge.
Consider it revenge.
"So, if Mo Shuyao had been the first person you met, wouldn't you have given your affection to her?"
Cheng Wenxuan: "..." For the first time, I realized how precise a smart person's 'revenge' can be.
"Don't you really like her?"
He Ruyun dropped a bombshell at the end, and was satisfied to see Cheng Wenxuan's expression change repeatedly.
"Senior Brother Cheng, you seem to enjoy testing other people's feelings so much, be careful you don't get yourself into trouble!"
After saying that, He Ruyun didn't want to say anything more and got up to leave.
However, as I turned the corner, I made a point of glancing at a beautiful woman sitting there with a blank expression.
Stepping outside, I looked up at the sky and saw bright sunshine that dispelled some of the gloom in my heart.
Let it be that she loved Cheng Wenxuan all along, and this is her last gift to him!
Ah!
If you really like her, would there still be Mo Shuyao?
Cheng Wenxuan, oh Cheng Wenxuan, what a waste of his high IQ, his EQ is actually negative.
……
He Ruyun left, but Cheng Wenxuan didn't rush to leave. Instead, he sat back down and stared blankly at the tea in front of him.
My mind was filled with He Ruyun's profound question from earlier.
Unbeknownst to him, right behind him, at a tea table just around the corner, a woman with her back to him was also deep in thought.
Cheng Wenxuan sat for a long time until Lu Yuanqing called, which startled him. He then got up, paid the bill, and went home.
Throughout the entire process, he did not spot Mo Shuyao.
Half a month has passed.
Cheng Wenxuan never saw Mo Shuyao and He Ruyun again, and Lu Yuanqing had finished his business in Haishi and was preparing to go home.
The day before he was to leave, Lu Yuanqing received a call from Lu Yuanhuan.
"What? Really? Okay, I'll be right back!" Lu Yuanqing said with a face full of joy.
Cheng Wenxuan, who was packing his luggage, put down the clothes in his hands and sat on the edge of the bed, waiting for him curiously.
"What good news? Uncle, why are you smiling so happily?" Cheng Wenxuan asked with a smile after he hung up the phone.
Holding his phone, Lu Yuanqing remained in high spirits and asked instead of answering, "You're going to have a holiday for National Day, right?"
"Release it!" Cheng Wenxuan said.
“Then let’s go back to Yu’an City for National Day! Your younger brother Anping is getting married,” Lu Yuanqing said excitedly.
"Really?" Cheng Wenxuan was also delighted.
"That's right, your aunt called to tell me."
"So fast?" Cheng Wenxuan was a little surprised. He hadn't heard that Gu Anping had a girlfriend!
There was one, wasn't it separated for several years?
Lu Yuanqing also sighed, "Luckily, that girl got married, otherwise your brother Anping would probably have to wait forever."
Gu Anping and Yang Xiaoxiao separated because of the feud between their families.
From then on, no matter how much Yang Xiaoxiao pursued him, Gu Anping never agreed.
For several years, Gu Anping stayed in the army and did not go home.
"In the first half of this year, that girl's mother fell seriously ill and almost didn't make it. She said her only wish was to see that girl get married, but in the end..." Lu Yuanqing shrugged.
The result is self-evident.
"So, Anping got married as soon as the other person got married?"
Lu Yuanqing laughed, "That's right."
Gu Anping had planned to get married a few years ago.
But he felt sorry for the girl, and he wouldn't consider these things until he saw her get married.
“This time, Anping brought everyone back, and your aunt and uncle were both satisfied. Both sides are straightforward people. Once they settled the matter of the bride price and dowry, they planned to get things done during the National Day holiday. You know your brother Anping doesn’t have many holidays.”
"Okay," Cheng Wenxuan nodded with a smile, "Then I'll pack my things and go back with you!"
