Lin Hai received the call and saw that it was from Ye Ying. He was stunned and didn't know what to do.
"Answer it. What are you waiting for? Are you afraid that I'll listen?”Xie Jun looked at Lin Hai in confusion.
"No, no." Lin Hai quickly waved his hand and pressed the answer button.
"Oh, hello. Are you off work?”Lin Hai said softly.
"You're off work and on the way. Why do you seem to be very busy?”Ye Ying asked.
Lin Hai understood what Ye Ying meant and quickly explained,"I'm sorry. I've been a little busy these two days and haven't returned home yet. Drive carefully. There are many cars on the road now.”
"Okay, bye." Ye Ying didn't say anything else and turned off the phone. There were quite a lot of cars at the moment, and it was peak hour.
Lin Hai heaved a sigh of relief after answering the call. Xie Jun felt that something was wrong. He tilted his head and asked with a smile,"This Ye Ying…who is she?"
Lin Hai looked at Xie Jun helplessly, as if he didn't know where to start. After a moment of silence, he said,""I…I had a good time with my mom last night. I was in a bad mood, so I asked you to drink with me today.”
"Don't change the subject. I'm asking you, who is this Ye Ying?”Xie Jun tapped his fingers on the table as if he was interrogating her.
"Listen to me first." Lin Hai stopped Xie Jun.
"Okay, okay, okay. Tell me, why? I was wondering why you looked so gloomy.”
Lin Hai thought for a moment and said,"I can't explain it now."….”He wanted to say something, but he hesitated, his eyes staring straight ahead.
"Aiya, what's going on? If you have something to say, just say it. Don't beat around the bush.”
Lin Hai cleared his throat and said," It was Ye Ying who called me just now. She's a girlfriend my mother's colleague introduced to me. I've only known her for less than two months, but my mother has already taken a liking to her."”
"Let me ask you, if your mother likes her, she must be very beautiful, right?”Xie Jun smiled.
"Yes, it's quite beautiful." Lin Hai said bluntly.
"Ye Ying has taken a fancy to you. Haha!" Xie Jun was a little excited.
"My mom thinks that Ye Ying is pretty and has good conditions. If Ye Ying agrees, I can't say no. "But…" Lin Hai did not know what to say.
"Then what do you mean? Who wouldn't want to find a beautiful woman with good conditions?”Xie Jun glanced at Lin Hai in confusion.
"The problem is that I can't like her. Last Saturday, we had a date and spent most of the day at the window of the world. I could tell that she was very kind to me, but I just didn't have the intention to cater to her.”
"You don't have any feelings for such a beautiful woman. Is there something wrong with you?”Xie Jun tilted his head and looked at Lin Hai.
"Go to hell. What's wrong with me? If you don't like it, then you don't like it." Lin Hai glared at Xie Jun.
"Isn't that troublesome? You don't like it, but the problem is that your mother has taken a fancy to it. Although you have the freedom to marry now, your mother can't tolerate you so easily. I know that you grew up under your mother's strict upbringing.”
"That's right. If I can't talk to her now, I'll have a heart attack if I get anxious. I can listen to her about other things, but do I have to listen to her about relationships? She took a fancy to it, but I couldn't say no. It was really depressing. I really feel like a disaster is coming.”After saying that, Lin Hai rubbed his forehead with one hand, looking very helpless.
"Is it that serious? However, it was no wonder. Between the two flowers at home and outside, which one did he like? He was really faced with a difficult choice.”
"What family? I told you, this has nothing to do with…with that Xiao Nan. Can you not pull it together?”
"Don't be agitated. Even if you don't pull them together, as your classmate, I'm warning you. How can I be wrong when I've set my eyes on someone? Try your best to move forward. If they could get along for a period of time, it would be fine. If not, they would just leave.”
"It's not that simple. I've been trying to like her during this period of time, but I can't do anything when the time comes. I feel like I'm acting. I know that I don't love her. Even now, she's waiting for me to text her. I... I don't know what to say. I can only keep my distance. I really hope that she will break up with me immediately. That way, my mother will have nothing to say. But it seems that this is impossible. My mother keeps arranging meetings for me. What do you think I should do? I don't even want to go home now, do you know?”
"What do you mean? Don't you like her at all? As time passed, he would naturally fall in love with her.”Xie Jun smiled.
"Impossible." Lin Hai looked discouraged.
Xie Jun swirled his wine glass and thought for a moment.""I think that's what happened."
"What happened? What do you mean?" Lin Hai looked straight at Xie Jun.
"Perhaps it's because the person involved is confused and the bystander sees clearly. As a classmate for many years, I thought of it. If I don't give you some defense points, don't deny it. I hope I'm not causing trouble for you. I'm just helping you think things through.”
"Speak, I'm listening."
"You said you couldn't like Ye Ying no matter what. Why? "There's always a shadow in your subconscious that can't be erased." Seeing that Lin Hai was about to open his mouth, he quickly stopped him."Don't interrupt me. Let me finish. That shadow was none other than Xiao Nan. It was just that you didn't know why. It was because it was a feeling. Feelings were things that people couldn't explain clearly. Perhaps even now, you didn't dare to admit it, didn't dare to think about it, and didn't dare to like her openly. Because falling in love with a nanny at your mother's place would be a great offense to the world and might even cause chaos. Due to your mother's pressure, you don't dare to interact with her more. Perhaps she's also trying her best to avoid you and won't even give you a chance to talk. The ones who really fall in love with her are you and her. Therefore, you're facing both sides now. How about it, do you think I'm right?”
Lin Hai rested his elbows on the edge of the table and covered his face with his hands. Thinking about Xie Jun's words, he felt that it was true. It turned out that Xie Jun had revealed her own indistinct and unclear feelings layer by layer. If Xiao Nan had not come to this house, perhaps she would not have been like this. He covered his face with his hands and sighed. He really wanted to cry.
At this point, he was unable to defend himself. He took out a cigarette and handed it to Xie Jun. He lit it himself and smoked silently.
After a long time, he took a deep breath and said,""I don't deny that I like her now. Although she doesn't talk much and has been happy ever since she came to our house, I try my best to treat her as my sister. Sometimes, he really wanted to buy her something. He liked to see her happy. But I can't do that."
"Didn't you try asking her how many years she studied?”
"She told my mom that she would graduate from junior high school. So what if she really graduated from junior high school? There are so many college students nowadays. There are so many people who don't have jobs.”
"Hehe, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If she was really a university graduate, you probably wouldn't be able to sit still now, right?”
"What are you talking about? Ah, seeing that he's a university student, he…he thinks highly of him. Am I that snobbish?”
"Hey, seriously, if you think about it, hurry up and make up your mind. It'll be troublesome if you take too long. If he didn't do it properly, it would be equivalent to having three mountains pressing down on his head.”
Lin Hai felt that Xie Jun was not exaggerating at all. He put out the cigarette that he had not finished smoking. It seemed that he had made a decision!
Ye Ying was in her room after dinner. She was half-lying on the bed with a book in her hands. In fact, she hadn't read a single word. She had flipped through her phone more than eight times, and her heart was empty. She was in a daze for a while. Suddenly, she seemed to have a burst of fire. She sat up and threw the book on the bed fiercely."What's so good about you? Why should I like you? Why are you pretending to be deep with me? Who are you? I'm not going this Saturday!”After scolding her, she lay on the bed. At this moment, her resentment made her unable to maintain her rigid appearance, and tears flowed from the corners of her eyes. She didn't understand why Lin Hai was so indifferent to her. He relied on his own advantages, but she didn't feel favored at all.
When Lin Hai and Xie Jun walked out of the tavern, it was already past nine o'clock. Because they were driving, they did not drink much and went home.
When Lin Hai drove to the underground parking lot in his neighborhood, he suddenly felt very hesitant. He muttered in his heart. After hearing what Xie Jun said, he felt that he didn't know how to face Xiao Nan when he returned home. It was clearly his own home, but he didn't know how to enter. Xie Jun really had a bad mouth. Lin Hai cursed in his heart. However, as long as he controlled himself from thinking that way, wouldn't everything be fine?
However, he still did not get out of the car. He felt that his thoughts just now were not deceiving himself. Helplessly, he closed his eyes and stretched out his arms to lie on the steering wheel. An inexplicable pain rose in his heart.
