Jing Yue hadn't arrived yet, and Liang Chen was worried that Jing Yue would get jealous if she saw him talking to Jiujiu.
Although Liang Chen felt that he was looking for Jiujiu for serious business, he still felt a little guilty when he thought about how he didn't dare to tell his parents about his relationship with Jing Yue.
Jiujiu felt that someone like Liang Chen who didn't take responsibility and liked to shirk his responsibilities definitely didn't have anything good to say to her. She had a bad temper and was in a bad mood because she hadn't found Dongyuan-kun yet. If she got into a conflict in the classroom, it would be a violation of her persona. Thus, she nodded and followed Liang Chen out.
The two of them went to the corridor that no one would normally go to.
Jiujiu stood at the corridor entrance with her arms crossed. Her delicate face was tense and her expression was cold and impatient. "Speak. What's the matter?"
Liang Chen glanced at Jiujiu and suddenly realized that Jiujiu seemed to have become prettier again. However, when he saw the impatience on Jiujiu's face, he felt a little strange.
It seemed that Jiujiu shouldn't treat him like this.
But when he remembered that he already had a girlfriend, Liang Chen hurriedly looked away and lowered his head to avoid looking at Jiujiu. "Um, I'm with Jing Yue now."
They had already eaten the wedding candies yesterday. Why was he talking about this today? Did he lose his memory?
Although it was a little strange, Jiujiu still nodded and said, "I know. Congratulations. Is there anything else?"
Actually, it would be a lie to say that Liang Chen didn't feel anything about He Jiujiu liking Liang Chen.
However, his parents often told him that when he grew up, he would marry Jiujiu. After hearing it so many times, it was inevitable that he would have a rebellious mentality.
You want me to marry He Jiujiu, but I won't. He developed a feeling that He Jiujiu was a scheme.
However, there was nothing wrong with He Jiujiu. She could even be considered excellent. Therefore, after a long time, he could not hate her, but he did not like her either.
Moreover, if his parents knew that he knew that He Jiujiu liked him, they would definitely try their best to set them up. Therefore, Liang Chen had always pretended to be confused and insisted that they were brother and sister.
As for He Jiujiu, although she liked Liang Chen, she also had her own pride and felt that there was still a long way to go.
Since Liang Chen kept insisting, she didn't poke the hole in the wall.
When He Jiujiu liked Liang Chen, Liang Chen only felt annoyed. Now that he was with Jing Yue, Jiujiu was overly calm in the classroom. However, Liang Chen felt that Jiujiu shouldn't be so calm.
At this moment, Jiujiu's face was full of impatience. Liang Chen increasingly felt that his relationship with Jiujiu shouldn't be like this.
Jiujiu calmly congratulated him, but it made Liang Chen feel a little uncomfortable.
Liang Chen subconsciously glanced at Jiujiu. Jiujiu's face was tense. Her eyes were big and round, and her pitch-black pupils flashed with impatience. It was obvious that she had reached the limit of her patience.
This discovery made Liang Chen feel uncomfortable. He could not help but continue, "Is there anything you want to ask me?"
Jiujiu originally wanted to shake her head, but she suddenly thought of something and asked, "Can I go now?"
Liang Chen, who was waiting for Jiujiu to ask a question, froze. He looked at Jiujiu with eyes full of disbelief. Then he said, "When we were young, Mom and Dad often told your parents that we should be betrothed. I wanted to tell you this, but they were just joking. Don't take it seriously."
"I know. That was when we were young. Now that we're both adults, I've always treated you like an older brother. Now that you've found a girl you like, I'm really happy. Congratulations!"
Liang Chen originally thought that Jiujiu would say something nostalgic about the past or that she liked him. However, when he heard Jiujiu's sincere congratulations, his face froze.
Liang Chen tried to salvage the situation by saying, "But your parents and my parents have always wanted the two of us to …"
"So what?" Jiujiu thought that Liang Chen would say something, but in the end, he pushed the blame to his parents.
Jiujiu's patience was completely exhausted. She did not want to talk to Liang Chen anymore. She said almost heartlessly, "Mom and Dad are Mom and Dad, and you are Dad and Mom. If you want to like someone, you have to be influenced by your parents. Isn't that a little too useless?"
After Jiujiu finished speaking, she looked at Liang Chen, who looked like he had been dealt a blow by her, and continued to say viciously, "Although Mom and Dad are experienced people and their suggestions are good, life is your own business. How you want to live your life is also your own business. Their suggestions are ultimately just suggestions. How you want to go in the future depends on your own thoughts. Even if your parents and my parents have always wanted the two of us to be together, I don't like you. Now that you have a girlfriend, it's even more impossible for the two of us to be together.
I hope you don't disrespect your child's wishes because you're worried about my parents and your parents' opinions. On the other hand, you obviously have a girlfriend, but you don't dare to say it out loud. It feels like you're a spy. It's very strange. "
Jiujiu thought that she had done her best by saying such words. Moreover, Jiujiu did not think that Liang Chen, who was irresponsible and naive, who liked to push the blame to others, would end up together with Jing Yue, a girl who had obviously been through a lot and had a deep mind.
However, there was no need for her to say such words. She nodded at Liang Chen and left.
Jiujiu left without hesitation. She did not even turn back to look at Liang Chen, so she did not see Liang Chen's despondent look after being struck by her.
Jiujiu's congratulations were far less damaging than Jiujiu's words of "I don't like you".
Although Liang Chen did not like He Jiujiu, after being scolded by his parents so many times, it was inevitable that he would have the illusion that He Jiujiu would be his in the future.
Jiujiu's straightforward words made Liang Chen completely realize that Jiujiu was not his.
Liang Chen clearly did not like He Jiujiu, but when he heard Jiujiu's words, he still felt a little dejected.
Not long after Jiujiu returned to the classroom, Liang Chen came back as well.
Compared to Jiujiu's stable emotions, who had already started memorizing words, Liang Chen looked as if his soul had been sucked out of his body. At a glance, it was obvious that he had suffered a huge blow.
Jing Yue had just arrived. She was wondering why Liang Chen was not in the classroom yet when she saw Liang Chen walk into the classroom with a dejected look.
Jing Yue was used to seeing Liang Chen in high spirits and confidence. This was the first time she saw Liang Chen like this, so she was not used to it.
After Liang Chen sat down, Jing Yue asked with concern, "What's wrong?"
When she asked this, Jing Yue did not know why, but she subconsciously looked in Jiujiu's direction. She had a feeling that Liang Chen's current state had something to do with He Jiujiu.
Liang Chen was still thinking about Jiujiu's words of "I don't like you". When he heard Jing Yue's voice, he did not respond immediately. He just stared at the blackboard in a daze.
