Chapter 107 Jiang Xiaomei's Daydream
Chapter 107 Jiang Xiaomei's Daydream
Shao Qianmin called her from behind, but Yan Liang didn't bother to answer and chased after her like the wind.
Jiang Xiaomei ran around in panic, occasionally tripping, staggering a few steps and then continuing to run forward.
Yan Liang finally caught up with her, running out of breath: "Xiao Mei, what's wrong with you?"
Jiang Xiaomei's rose-red windbreaker must have been left in the house. There were stains on the sleeves of her off-white sweater, and spots on her black leather shoes. Her face was covered with tear marks, and her makeup was all smudged. Her curly hair was draped behind her head in a mess, with a few strands scattered in front of her forehead, wet with tears.
She looked very embarrassed, lowered her head and refused to look at Yan Liang, her shoulders twitching as she suppressed her tears.
Yan Liang hugged her and felt her body trembling. He didn't bother to ask her anything, but just patted her gently to calm her down.
After about ten minutes, Jiang Xiaomei slowly raised her head from Yan Liang's arms.
Yan Liang met her eyes and couldn't help but take a breath. Her eyes were empty, and there seemed to be resentment hidden deep in them. The way she looked at Yan Liang was strange and distant.
"What happened?" Yan Liang asked cautiously. She believed that the senior would never bully Jiang Xiaomei, so she probably said something that made her feel discouraged.
But why did Jiang Xiaomei look at him so coldly, even with a hint of hatred? Could it be that he had seen it wrong?
"Nothing!" Jiang Xiaomei said in a stiff and hoarse voice, raising her hand to wipe her face, "I'm sorry for ruining your party."
After saying that, he broke away from Yan Liang and walked forward.
Yan Liang felt his arms empty, and was startled. He chased after him a few steps and asked, "What happened?"
"I am the one who is being shameless! I am being sentimental! I have no self-awareness! Why do I like him? I am not worthy! Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself to see what kind of moral character you have? You actually dare to covet the son of a rich family! You are so wishful thinking, overestimating your own capabilities, and bringing shame upon yourself!"
Jiang Xiaomei's repeated criticism and scolding of herself made Yan Liang roughly understand that Jiang Xiaomei probably confessed her love to the senior and was rejected by him, so she was ashamed and angry.
"Don't say that about yourself!" Yan Liang tried his best to catch up with her. "Senior just hasn't discovered your good points yet. Don't worry. He's not the kind of person who values external conditions."
"Hahaha, stop pretending to be a good person here and making sarcastic remarks!" Jiang Xiaomei suddenly stopped and stared at Yan Liang with a ferocious expression, "When I told you my secret, you were laughing at me in your heart, right? You encouraged me and gave me hope, which made me foolishly run to confess my love, but I was mercilessly ridiculed in the end, and you were just watching the joke from the side, right?"
Yan Liang was stunned, his mouth opened, not knowing what to say, would the senior mock Jiang Xiaomei? Impossible, the senior was a kind person, even if he refused, he would not say hurtful words.
"You knew clearly that the person in his heart was you, but you pretended not to know, and encouraged me to confess my feelings, to embarrass me, and to make me not have the face to appear in front of him again. Then you achieved your goal?" Jiang Xiaomei's bright eyes were almost spitting fire, and her expression was crazy. "Is it because so many outstanding men are surrounding you that you feel so superior and proud that your tail is up to the sky?"
"Yes, I am a divorced woman with a two-year-old son. How can I compare to you, who are pure and talented? You must use me to set off your extraordinary beauty to be satisfied, right?"
Yan Liang was stunned by her scolding. How come she didn't know that the senior liked her?
She and the senior had known each other for a long time, but they had only spent a few times together. The senior was often not seen for months when he was on a mission, and he didn't even know about Yan Liang's mother's car accident until two months later.
The senior was very kind to her and cared for her like a brother, but he never did anything excessive towards her, let alone confessed his feelings to her.
"Xiaomei, what did the senior say to you?" Yan Liang took a deep breath and asked in a calm tone.
Jiang Xiaomei covered her face and cried so hard that she couldn't catch her breath: "He, he said thank you for my feelings for him, but he was sorry that he couldn't respond. Wuwu..."
"I asked him if he liked you, and he admitted it! Why are you still pretending to be confused? Can't you see that he treats you very well?"
"Acquiesce?" Yan Liang frowned, "You mean he didn't express it clearly, and you just made it up in your mind?"
"What do you mean I made it up in my mind?" Jiang Xiaomei raised her tearful face, "You are blind, or you are pretending not to see. I can see it clearly, and Shao Qianmin can see it too!"
Yan Liang was stunned for a moment, sighed, stepped forward and put his arms around Jiang Xiaomei's twitching shoulders, but she dodged away in disgust.
"Xiaomei, calm down. This matter..." Yanliang bit his lip and said awkwardly, "I really don't know. I encouraged you to confess your feelings so that you could seize the opportunity. I have no ill intentions."
Jiang Xiaomei ignored her and ran away without looking back.
Yan Liang did not chase after her, she needed some time to calm down.
With all kinds of thoughts running through his mind, Yan Liang walked back slowly and absent-mindedly. He had no appetite to eat anymore. He took the things that Jiang Xiaomei had left behind and said goodbye.
Shao Qianyi didn't say anything, but just stared at Yan Liang deeply and told her to be careful on the road.
Shao Qianmin escorted Yan Liang out of the yard, curled her lips and said disdainfully: "That Jiang Xiaomei is too arrogant. She dares to hit on my brother. How could my brother like someone like her!"
Yan Liang's eyes suddenly turned cold: "What kind of person is Xiao Mei?"
Shao Qianmin's expression froze, and she smiled awkwardly: "Yanliang, I know you and she have been good friends since childhood, but there are class differences between people, you can't deny this. What's more, Jiang Xiaomei is divorced and has a child. Do you think she is worthy of my brother?"
Yan Liang felt a pang in her heart, but she couldn't refute Shao Qianmin. From the perspective of a younger sister, of course she hopes that her brother's partner is excellent in all aspects. In fact, Yan Liang also thinks so in her heart, but if the woman is Jiang Xiaomei, she will have a fluke, hoping that she can really find a good man like her senior.
The world is like this, divided into countless classes invisibly. Otherwise, why do so many people say that they want to strive to cross classes? Even if it is not stated explicitly, classes are divided in people's minds.
Yan Liang got into the car without saying a word. The moment the car started, Shao Qianmin's sarcastic lips flashed in the rearview mirror.
After driving for a while, I saw Jiang Xiaomei sitting on a stone by the roadside, with her hands around her knees and her head buried in her knees, not moving at all.
Yan Liang stopped the car beside her, got out and sat quietly beside her.
After about ten minutes, Jiang Xiaomei said in a muffled voice: "Go back, don't worry about me!"
Yan Liang said nothing and continued to sit there.
Not long after, Jiang Xiaomei raised her head. Her eyes were red and swollen, and her face was covered in black and purple spots, which were the makeup washed away by tears.
"I'm sorry for losing my temper with you just now. I know it's not your fault. It's me, I'm not worthy of him..." As she said this, she started sobbing again.
A layer of moisture appeared in Yan Liang's eyes: "He is unlucky, and he doesn't understand your goodness yet..."
Jiang Xiaomei smiled with tears on her face: "Alright, I know my character, you don't need to comfort me!"
She stood up, took a long breath, and shuddered while inhaling. Jiang Xiaomei seemed to be fully revived.
"Okay! I was just daydreaming and now I'm awake!"
