Gu Nianzhi was very uncomfortable and objected without hesitation, "You want me to change my bad habits to become your goddess? No, Mei Xiawen, I don't want to be that kind of goddess. "
"Nianzhi?" Mei Xiawen smiled and said confidently, "Don't be in a hurry to object. When we fall in love with someone, we want to become a better person for them. Don't you want to do that for me? "
Gu Nianzhi was speechless. She thought about it carefully and shook her head, "No, you can't ask me to change myself and become what you like. Either you like me the way I am now, or you find a goddess that suits you. Otherwise, you can go find a goddess that suits you. I won't change myself for you. "
Mei Xiawen's smile faded, and his downturned lips betrayed his displeasure.
Even if she didn't agree with him, couldn't she say it in a tactful way?
Jiang Hongcha had obviously done a better job than Gu Nianzhi in this regard.
If Jiang Hongcha didn't agree with some things, she wouldn't openly object. Instead, she would quietly change his views and ideas like a gentle spring breeze. That way, the two of them could reach an agreement without hurting his pride.
Gu Nianzhi, on the other hand, was still too young to understand compromise and obedience.
Mei Xiawen sighed. The little girl still needed to be taught …
Although teaching her was tiring, he had molded her exactly the way he wanted her to be. It was much better than Jiang Hongcha's gentle stubbornness.
To put it this way, Mei Xiawen felt that being with Gu Nianzhi was tiring in the beginning because he had to put in a lot of effort to change her. He had to erase her untimely edges and spoiled personality that was deeply embedded in her bones.
But in the end, they would get along seamlessly.
Gu Nianzhi would become a docile woman who treated him like the sky, listened to everything he said, and loved him for the rest of her life.
As for Jiang Hongcha, although he liked her very much, she had betrayed him. This was a flaw that he would never forget. It was difficult to ignore.
This flaw was enough to erase many of her strengths.
Although Gu Nianzhi had many flaws, she was young, smart, beautiful, and didn't have a strong family background. When she got married, she wouldn't use her family to cause trouble for him. A girl like her was actually the most suitable wife for a scion of an aristocratic family like him.
He didn't need to rely on marriage to achieve some kind of benefit.
"Nianzhi, don't be so sure." Mei Xiawen pulled himself together. "You don't want to change for me yet because you don't love me that much. When your feelings for me deepen, you will naturally want to change for me. Even if I don't say it, you will want to show a better version of yourself in front of me. "
Gu Nianzhi grew even more silent after hearing his words.
She lay in bed, hugging her panda pillow in one hand and the phone in the other. She stared at the milky white reliefs on the ceiling, and a voice whispered in her heart, "There's only one person in this world that I'm willing to become better for, and that's Uncle Huo …"
She respected and worshiped him. He was all she believed in and relied on, so she was willing to do her best to be her best self in front of him.
But what does this have to do with love?
Gu Nianzhi composed herself and said tactfully, "Xiawen, I think you're mistaken. We want to be better people for the sake of our elders' expectations and concerns. But as a couple, we need to be ourselves. If you can't accept the kind of person I am, then I really can't change me to satisfy your needs. "She paused, then continued calmly," Don't waste your time with me. "
Mei Xiawen's heart skipped a beat. His voice suddenly grew louder. "Nianzhi?! What do you mean?! You want to break up with me just because I made a request?! I don't agree! I won't allow it! Listen, I don't agree! "
Mei Xiawen waved his arms and spun in circles at the window, venting his anger.
Fortunately, the office was on the thirtieth floor, so he didn't have to worry about anyone seeing him lose his composure.
Gu Nianzhi was frightened by Mei Xiawen's sudden outburst, and could only comfort him. "Xiawen, Xiawen, calm down, calm down. Here, take a few deep breaths and go drink a glass of water. Yes, put down the glass and sit back on the sofa … "
Her voice was soft and sweet, almost magical. Mei Xiawen followed her instructions step by step.
When he sat back on the sofa and saw a freshly emptied glass of water on the coffee table, Mei Xiawen smiled wryly. "Nianzhi, I said I wanted to change you, but you're the one changing me, aren't you?"
Gu Nianzhi chuckled. "I'm not that good. Class Rep, you've always had strong self-control, I was just reminding you. "
The words "Class Rep" seemed to widen the already close distance between them.
Mei Xiawen was annoyed, he knew he had miscalculated.
This girl clearly hadn't fallen head over heels in love with him yet. It was too much of a rush for him to make such a request now, and it almost scared her away …
"Nianzhi, I was wrong just now. You're such a good girl, why would you need to change? Besides, if you really did change, you wouldn't be you anymore. I like you the way you are. " Mei Xiawen gripped his phone and wiped the sweat from his forehead. "See, long-distance relationships are so unreliable. We fought and I couldn't even comfort you in person."
Gu Nianzhi smiled quietly and corrected Mei Xiawen. "Xiawen, we're not in a relationship yet. Don't forget, we have a six-month promise."
Their promise was that after she returned to the Empire in six months, if Mei Xiawen still wanted her to be his girlfriend, then she would officially agree to it.
"Yes, you see, I love you so much, I already see you as my girlfriend. Otherwise, I wouldn't have made such an outrageous request. " Mei Xiawen's words were soft and gentle, his clear baritone voice was very moving. "Nianzhi, you have to forgive me for losing my head just now. You took psychology as an elective, so you should know that people only seek perfection when they're with the people they're closest to. "
Gu Nianzhi had taken psychology for half a semester in university to study her own mental state and find a way to recover her memory.
She hadn't paid much attention to other aspects.
Mei Xiawen's words reminded her that there was such a saying in psychology.
"Okay, okay, you don't have to apologize. It's normal for two people to have conflicting views, otherwise why would they need to get along? Don't you think so? It's a long process for two completely different people to become one physically and mentally. " Gu Nianzhi analyzed their relationship from a psychological perspective, and was surprised to find that it made sense.
She had always been an expert at armchair strategizing.
Mei Xiawen frowned as he listened, but he knew that he had just annoyed her, so he didn't say anything to object.
Jiang Hongcha had waited for him downstairs in the dining room for a long time, but he hadn't come for lunch. Her phone had been busy the entire time, so she had no choice but to come up.
"Xiawen, do you still want lunch? I brought it for you. "Jiang Hongcha opened the door to his office and walked in with a bag of lunch.
Mei Xiawen looked up and gestured for her to be quiet. He said to Gu Nianzhi, "Okay, my little psychologist, it's late. You should go to bed."
Gu Nianzhi was speechless.
"Go to bed." Mei Xiawen spoke tenderly into the phone. "Mua, here's a goodnight kiss for you."
Gu Nianzhi felt goosebumps all over her body. She hung up without a word and tossed the phone far away on the small single-seater sofa across from the bed.
…
"Who are you calling? Why are you talking so softly? " Jiang Hongcha sat next to him and glanced at Mei Xiawen's phone screen. She saw that Gu Nianzhi's profile picture had just faded. "Is that your little girlfriend?"
"She's angry, so I'm coaxing her." Mei Xiawen reached out and pulled Jiang Hongcha into his arms. He tilted his head and saw Jiang Hongcha pout. "What's wrong? Are you jealous? "
