Perhaps Qin Shihuang's natural curiosity piqued his interest. He approached the phone and asked a question, which was equivalent to approaching Wang Mengjie.
She couldn't help but blush, but she still tried to explain what was wrong with her. Didn't they get this close before? Why was she so nervous about getting close to him after realizing that she liked him?
However, Qin Shihuang's attention was already on the phone, so he didn't notice the blushing Wang Mengjie at all. It wasn't until his hand touched the phone and accidentally touched Wang Mengjie's hand that he remembered to at least not have physical contact. Realizing that he had gone too far, he immediately stood up straight and explained nervously,"I didn't do it on purpose."
Wang Mengjie felt as if she had been electrocuted. She was indescribably nervous. She could feel her face burning. She lowered her head to hide her embarrassment and said,"It's okay. It's inevitable."
Looking at Wang Mengjie's flushed face, Qin Shihuang knew that he had caused trouble again. Just as he was feeling guilty, he saw a car coming from not far away at an abnormally fast speed. He said,"Be careful, there's a car coming."
Wang Mengjie didn't have time to react. She looked at the car that was speeding towards her in shock. She was so shocked that she didn't know how to react.
Qin Shihuang grabbed Wang Mengjie. He had planned to pull her into his arms, but those words still made him change his actions. He pulled Wang Mengjie to the side, but he was hit by a car.
"I don't want to." Wang Mengjie was so scared that she cried on the spot.
Looking at the crying Wang Mengjie, Qin Shihuang was very surprised. Was she afraid or worried about him? "Have you forgotten?" I'm a ghost. Human weapons can't hurt me at all. Nothing can touch me.”
Only then did Wang Mengjie realize that she was so nervous that she had forgotten that Qin Shihuang was different from her. He was not a human, but a soul. He was still Qin Shihuang, a figure who could command the wind and cloud and unify the six countries. She was just an ordinary student, and she was also a person who would be scared to the point that her mind would go blank when she encountered a little thing. How could she be worthy of a person who could only cry helplessly when something happened? Perhaps he was destined to be a spare tire and could only be Ling Yue's substitute.
She had never felt inferior before. Wang Mengjie began to hate herself for being like this. She hated her cowardice, her introversion, and her crying.
Qin Shihuang didn't know if wiping Wang Mengjie's tears now would cause her to misunderstand, but he didn't want her to cry like this. He squatted down, raised his long sleeves, and gently wiped her face.
At this moment, Wang Mengjie was sitting on the ground. She looked up at Qin Shihuang and said,""Am I useless?"
He was surprised that she would ask such a question. He shook his head and said,"No, why do you say that?”
"I just suddenly felt that way. I can't let myself continue like this. I can't continue to be useless.”Although there were tears in Wang Mengjie's eyes, there was determination beneath them. She wanted to change herself and become stronger. At the very least, she wanted to have the ability to protect herself. She didn't want to just tolerate it and let others bully her. She wanted to let herself rely on him. She wanted to let go of her self-esteem to love someone.
Qin Shihuang wiped Wang Mengjie's tears, and his eyes inadvertently showed pity. He said,""This is the best."
Looking at the pity in Qin Shihuang's eyes and hearing the gentleness in his words, her heart inadvertently thumped and she couldn't help but like him. When she reacted, Wang Mengjie scolded herself in her heart. Why are you so cheap? This man doesn't like you at all. He likes Ling Yue. You're just her substitute. No, you're not even a substitute. You're just a friend, not even a girlfriend.
He hated himself for being so weak, so humble, and so spineless. He reached out and slapped himself, trying to wake himself up. However, all he got in return was pain. The pain on his skin and the conflict in his heart.
Qin Shihuang looked at Wang Mengjie in shock. Was she masochistic? He remembered the first time he saw her, he had seen her hit herself like that. Now, this scene had happened again. At first, he thought she was stupid and slapped himself. Now, he felt sorry for her and felt a little pain. He held Wang Mengjie's hand and said nervously,"If you're unhappy, don't take it out on yourself. You can take it out on me.”
Wang Mengjie shook her head and said," I just hate myself. I don't hate you."”
"Don't be like this." Qin Shihuang couldn't help but look at Wang Mengjie.
That's right, if you hate yourself, then change yourself. What's a slap? Was this considered changing himself? This only further proved his cowardice. He couldn't do anything to others, so he vented his anger on himself. He shook off Qin Shihuang's hand and said,"You don't have to worry about my matters."
The disappointment in his eyes was so obvious. Could they not even be friends anymore? She was torturing herself because of him, right? Since that was the case, it was better not to cause her any pain. He took a step back and said,"I'm sorry."
He apologized to her? Why? This was not his fault. He already had another woman in his heart. What was wrong with him holding on to the woman he loved in his heart? She was the one who insisted on interfering and wanted Qin Shihuang to fall in love with her. She was the one who forced him, so why did she have to make him apologize? She said,"This is not your fault."
She stood up with both hands on the ground. She had to be strong. What was it about being willing to have a crush on him? What was it about loving him in the name of a friend? She did not want to torture herself like this. Qin Shihuang was her nemesis. Even if she had to fall in love with someone, she had to go against the heavens and live for herself.
Qin Shihuang wanted to help Wang Mengjie up, but his hand stopped in mid-air. When he saw her stand up, he withdrew his hand.
Seeing Qin Shihuang retract his hand, Wang Mengjie laughed at herself. However, she couldn't help but envy Ling Yue. After envy, she became jealous. Why could she have Qin Shihuang's love, all of it? From two years ago until now, why could she always live in his heart? She clearly had the same looks as her. Why? What was his weakness? If she was still alive, she might still be able to compete, but how could she compete with someone who had been dead for a thousand years? He was so unwilling…
Wang Mengjie shook her head. She told herself not to think too much. She wanted to live for herself. She wanted to stop thinking about Ling Yue and Qin Shihuang. She calmed herself down and walked home.
Qin Shihuang and Wang Mengjie maintained a certain distance and followed behind her. He couldn't guess her sudden change, but he knew that because of him, a woman's heart was like a needle in the sea. It was really difficult to guess.
When they returned home, Wang Mengjie was still doing her usual chores. She washed up and went back to her room to sleep. Qin Shihuang looked at Wang Mengjie, who was no different from usual, and was even more confused. She had clearly been so agitated just now, but she had instantly calmed down. Was what she was showing her true thoughts? However, it was impossible to tell what she was thinking.
Wang Mengjie lay flat on the bed. She could feel Qin Shihuang at the door. He didn't come in. He looked at the floor beside her. He usually slept on the floor here. Realizing that she was thinking about Qin Shihuang again, she immediately knocked her head and closed her eyes to sleep.
Although she closed her eyes, her consciousness was still very clear. She couldn't help but think of Qin Shihuang and Ling Yue kissing while admiring the snow. She couldn't help but think of the sweet scene of them. She sat up abruptly and knocked her head. I told her not to think about them. Don't think about them. Why do I still have to think about them? Wang Mengjie cried and shouted in her heart.
Wang Mengjie struggled with herself for the entire night. She felt that she was about to have a split personality. It was even to the point where two people were arguing. One was shouting that she didn't want to think about these things and wanted to live for herself, while the other was shouting that she didn't want to give up on the person she liked.
Qin Shihuang quietly hid behind the closet through the door and watched Wang Mengjie struggle for the entire night. He tortured himself for the entire night, but he didn't know how to stop her. Seeing that Wang Mengjie was about to go out, he immediately walked out of the room.
"Are you alright?" Qin Shihuang asked as he looked at Wang Mengjie worriedly.
Wang Mengjie ignored Qin Shihuang and went straight into the bathroom. She was busy with her own things and looked at herself in the mirror. The dark circles under her eyes were so heavy. The swelling from yesterday hadn't completely gone down, and she looked even more miserable. Helplessly, she took a shower and changed into her school uniform. She took a hot towel to apply it to her eyes before leaving the bathroom.
During dinner, her parents looked at Wang Mengjie's eyes worriedly. Mother Wang finally couldn't help but ask,""Mengjie, did something happen recently?”
"No, I just can't sleep. My dark circles are a little heavy. Mom, don't worry.”Wang Mengjie said with a smile, reassuring her parents and acting as if nothing was wrong.
Although his parents were worried, they didn't ask anything.
After the meal, Wang Mengjie went straight to school. She completely ignored Qin Shihuang on the way. Qin Shihuang knew that Wang Mengjie didn't want to talk to him, so he didn't say anything and quietly followed behind her.
Arriving at the school, Wang Mengjie's mood didn't improve at all as she walked through the bustling crowd. It didn't feel good to be dumped before she even started dating. She walked with her head lowered. As she hadn't slept for the whole night, her eyes hurt a little. She closed her eyes slightly and felt her legs go soft. When she opened her eyes, she saw her feet and realized that she had stepped on someone. Just as she was about to apologize, she heard a woman's sharp scolding,"Are you blind?"
