CapĂtulo 1861: Chapter 1861: Buying a Cell Phone (Part 1)
âBoo hoo hooâŠâ Lu Zishu stared with his eyes wide open, his face covered in tears.
On the way back, before getting in the car, Ruan Jiaojiao curiously stared at Lu Zishu several times. Finally, unable to hold back, she asked in confusion, âDid you sleep face down and hit the ground last night? But I clearly remember I put pillows and cushions on the floor for you guys. How did you end up looking like this?â
His eyes and nose were all red from the impact, it must have been quite a hit.
ââŠâ Lu Zishu, covering his nose, glanced at Duan Xi, indicating his withdrawal.
Ruan Jiaojiao didnât mind that he ignored her. She shrugged her small shoulders, showing her understanding. After all, getting drunk and smashing your face to the ground is quite embarrassing; she wouldnât want to talk about it either.
Qin Yue only stayed in Beidu for a day and took the train back to Yuansu on the morning of the third day of the holiday.
During the holidays, Duan Xi was busy studying, preparing to finish his university courses, while Ruan Jiaojiao enjoyed this slow-paced life, eating, sleeping, watching TV, or playing at the neighboring Lu Familyâs, living a very comfortable life.
However, even after Lu Xian returned from vacation, Ruan Jie still hadnât started his holiday.
During this period, Xin Miao called once to inquire. Her intentions were too obvious, or rather, she never intended to hide anything from Ruan Jiaojiao, which made Ruan Jiaojiao a bit worried.
Because while Xin Miao was inquiring about Ruan Jieâs news, Lu Zishu was also learning from her and inquiring about Xin Miaoâs news. However, compared to Xin Miaoâs straightforwardness, he was more reserved, always starting with other topics before seemingly unintentionally steering the conversation toward Xin Miao.
Ruan Jiaojiao lost her patience with him, so she simply asked, âDo you like Miaomiao?â
Lu Zishu immediately exploded, jumping up: âWhat are you talking about? Where⊠where do I like her?â
âThen why are you always asking about her?â
âCanât I just be curious?â
âSure, sure,â Ruan Jiaojiao rolled her eyes, âDonât blame me for not reminding you, but Xin Miao already likes someone.â
Lu Zishuâs expression immediately fell, âWho?â
âDidnât you say you donât like her? Then what does it matter if she likes someone or not?â Ruan Jiaojiao replied irritably.
Lu Zishu sheepishly scooted over, tugged at her sleeve with a fawning smile, âWell, I admit it, okay? I do like her, Jiaojiao, help your big brother out, wonât you? You see, Iâm usually good to you, right?â
âYou are good to me, but Brother Zishu, itâs not that Iâm unwilling to help you, itâs just that matters of feelings require mutual consent. Just me wanting to help isnât enough,â Ruan Jiaojiao said.
But she wasnât exactly honest; it wasnât that she didnât want to help, but she felt that neither Ruan Jie nor Lu Zishu were a good match for Xin Miao.
This mismatch wasnât about anyone not being worthy of the other, but rather a matter of incompatible personalities.
Having suffered deep emotional hurt at a young age, Xin Miao now had a detached and world-weary temperament. She needed someone meticulous, capable of giving her ample love, but neither Lu Zishu nor Ruan Jie had such delicate personalities, making it difficult to care for Xin Miao emotionally.
âHow do you know weâre not mutually consenting if you donât help me?â Lu Zishu complained. He wanted to tug Ruan Jiaojiaoâs hand again, but seeing a glance from Duan Xi beside them, he could only retract his hand sullenly.
