If you want to wear the crown, you have to bear the weight
Qiao Qiao was stunned.
He Shaochen saw Qiao Qiao's silly look and smiled as he pinched her little face. "What's wrong? You're so happy that you can't even speak? "
Qiao Qiao pursed her lips and avoided He Shaochen's hand. She narrowed her eyes and said in a muffled voice, "Didn't I tell you not to joke around? That's impossible. "
"Why?" He Shaochen's smile faded as he looked at her and asked.
Why?
Qiao Qiao asked herself the same question in her heart.
Because the difference in status between them was too great. Even if they were together now, there was no guarantee that they could still be so intimate in the future.
Two people with different values and outlook on life, she did not think that they could go far together.
Logically speaking, she and He Shaochen would definitely not be able to go to the end, so it was better to stop here. But from an emotional point of view, it was harder to separate from someone who had fallen in love.
She could not let go of He Shaochen, so she felt that it was better to maintain the status quo.
Seeing Qiao Qiao's silence, He Shaochen suddenly spoke.
"Qiao Qiao, you're a coward. You're always afraid that others will find out about our relationship. You're afraid that others will gossip about you because of your improper status. But when I really say that I want to marry you, you're afraid."
Qiao Qiao's heart skipped a beat as she looked at He Shaochen in astonishment.
"You …"
"Don't you feel that the difference in status between us is too great and that there will be difficulties in the future? So you're afraid. You're afraid to face it, afraid that your self-esteem will be hurt, so you hide in your turtle shell and be content with the status quo, isn't that right? "
Qiao Qiao stared at He Shaochen in a daze. She never thought that he would say something like that.
She had always felt that He Shaochen, a self-centered young master, would not think from the perspective of others, but now, he surprised her once again.
He Shaochen's words were too realistic and cruel. The truth was never beautiful. Now that the truth was laid out, Qiao Qiao didn't sympathize with him. She only felt embarrassed.
She lowered her head, pursed her lips, and said, "Yes, I'm afraid. I'm just a commoner, but you're the top figure in this country. If our relationship is made public, there will definitely be a lot of people who will jump out to stop us. I don't want to see my future life just being tired of dealing with other people's provocations."
That kind of life was too pathetic.
She felt as if she had been living for someone else all her life. Even when she was on her deathbed, she couldn't remember what she had that was worthy of being nostalgic or proud of.
Every time she thought of this, she couldn't help but want to retreat.
You could call her cowardly or selfish, but she didn't have the courage to face such a life.
"Qiao Qiao, how can you be so stupid?" He Shaochen said coldly.
"Eh?"
Qiao Qiao, who was struggling in her heart, was startled. Her negative emotions of bemoaning the state of the universe and pitying the fate of mankind were shattered bit by bit.
He Shaochen pinched her face in dissatisfaction and said angrily, "Why is it that I'm always not in your future? Are you the only one who can face those people alone? With me around, what are you afraid of? "
"But …" Qiao Qiao forced a smile. "You can't always protect me under your wings. I have to face it alone."
"Didn't you say you love me?" He Shaochen glanced at her.
"I love you." Qiao Qiao whispered.
He Shaochen got an affirmative answer. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Since you love me, don't you even have the courage to walk down the path with me? Just because there are obstacles, you shrink back? I didn't expect your love to be so shallow. "
"No!" Qiao Qiao suddenly became emotional. She said anxiously, "I like you!"
"But you don't even have the courage to face the future with me. If you want to wear the crown, you have to bear the weight. Don't you even understand that?"
"I understand that!"
"Do you really understand?" He Shaochen raised his eyebrows.
Qiao Qiao nodded. She bit her lips and looked a little conflicted.
"I've thought about that a long time ago, but I'm not confident."
Qiao Qiao lowered her head and said in a weak voice, "Compared to dealing with your family and friends, I prefer to stay in the laboratory and face those cold instruments. I have a bad temper. If others annoy me, I'll fight back. It's fine if it's an outsider, but if it's your family, I'll definitely make them angry. I don't want you to be sandwiched between us …"
He Shaochen suddenly understood the meaning of Qiao Qiao's words. He looked at the dejected Qiao Qiao and asked, "So?"
The rims of Qiaoqiao's eyes were a little red. She carefully glanced at him, and with a weak voice and a little sobbing, she said, "Actually, your mother came to school to look for me …"
He Shaochen's expression didn't change much. He combed Qiao Qiao's long hair and said slowly, "And then?"
Qiao Qiao sniffed and felt even less confident. "I probably made her unhappy …"
She could still remember Qiu Yixuan's words. He would never let her enter the Family He. He Shaochen's mother said it herself, so it must be very important.
She was probably very sad about this, not to mention other people's objections.
Hearing Qiao Qiao's words, He Shaochen didn't even frown. He was very calm. "Oh, what did you do to make her unhappy?"
However, Qiaoqiao was in low spirits and did not notice this point. She bit her lips and struggled for a while before she said in a muffled voice, "In short, I made your mother unhappy that day. As for the specifics, I don't remember."
But it wasn't that she didn't remember, she just didn't want to remember.
Qiu Yixuan's superior attitude made her feel very uncomfortable.
"Actually, I know about that too." He Shaochen said lightly.
Qiao Qiao was stunned. She looked up at him and asked blankly, "You … you know?"
"Do you think you can hide this from me?" He Shaochen seemed to think he hadn't shocked Qiao Qiao enough, so he added, "And I've already told her that my wife will only be you."
Qiaoqiao's eyes suddenly widened, and her mouth opened so wide that an egg could be placed inside.
She looked at the smiling man in front of her and was so shocked that she couldn't speak. After a while, she stammered, "You … You …"
He Shaochen kissed her forehead affectionately and smiled. "I'm actually a very loyal person. I won't change my mind about someone I like."
"He Shaochen …"
Qiao Qiao looked at him, touched, and didn't know what to say.
She never knew that this man had already taken care of everything for her while she was still in fear.
He had cleared all the obstacles for her and made her path forward unimpeded.
But what about her?
