Out of control and sinking

Seeing that Su Tiantian was in a bad mood, Jiang Ruan chimed in, "Yes, did you two have a fight?"

Feeling cared for by the two women, Su Tiantian's face drooped, but she couldn't help but confide in them.

Su Tiantian sighed: "No, we didn't argue."

She felt wronged: "Jiang Ruan, Lu Jie, I have very complicated feelings for him right now."

"I feel like I'm not pure anymore."

Jiang Ruan: "What do you mean by that?"

Su Tiantian was very troubled: "It's that feeling that I can't quite put my finger on. He keeps asking me to go out lately, but I always say I'm busy and make excuses. I don't want to see him."

Lu Jie asked curiously, "Why? Did he do something to upset you, or do you no longer enjoy spending time with him?"

Lu Jie guessed.

"Neither." Su Tiantian sighed, looking quite dejected, and the tripe on her plate suddenly lost its appeal.

She put down her chopsticks: "I think I might like him a little. Like Jiang Ruan said last time, I feel very happy when I chat with him, and I want to see him every day."

“That’s a good thing,” Jiang Ruan said. “You’re already twenty-four. Isn’t it normal to like someone? Besides, Zou Ji likes you quite a bit too.”

Su Tiantian was stunned for a moment, then asked, somewhat bewildered, "Does he like me?"

"of course."

"If he didn't like you, why would he ask you out so often?"

"Idiot, this is what liking someone is all about."

Su Tiantian pouted: "That's just because he likes me now. What if he doesn't like me anymore one day?"

"Jiang Ruan, I'm scared."

Jiang Ruan laughed angrily: "What's there to be afraid of? People should live in the moment. If you like someone, you like them; if you don't, you break up and find someone else. Besides, how can you be so sure that one day he won't like you anymore, instead of you liking him?"

"I think you're right."

Su Tiantian nodded and said, "That's why I've been in a bad mood lately." Jiang Ruan comforted her, "Silly girl, my thoughts are just my thoughts. These things vary from person to person, especially when you like someone. You should follow your heart."

Su Tiantian blinked: "Follow your heart?"

“Yes.” Jiang Ruan looked at her: “I’m asking you, do you think Zou Ji is good to you?”

Su Tiantian nodded: "Okay, he takes me out to play, buys me delicious food, and... and I always get food on my face when I eat, and he always gently wipes it off with a tissue."

Su Tiantian blushed as she spoke.

Lu Jie chimed in from the side, "Oh my, it seems Zou Ji is quite good at pursuing girls, I wonder..."

Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Ruan glanced at her.

With warning.

Spoken: "Don't talk nonsense."

Jiang Ruan did not tell Lu Jie about Zou Ji and Su Tiantian.

Zou Ji once talked about such a thing.

Therefore, Lu Jie was unaware of this matter.

Seeing her say that, Lu Jie promptly shut up and quietly ate her hotpot while listening to the gossip.

"Do you like him?" Jiang Ruan continued to ask.

Su Tiantian nodded obediently: "I think it should be liking."

"Then let me ask you, is your liking for him just because he's nice to you and buys you food—something Lu Jie and I would do with you—or is it the kind of liking where your heart races, you feel a flutter in your chest, and you blush every time you see him?"

Su Tiantian tilted her head and thought for a moment before slowly saying, "It should be the latter one, right?"

Jiang Ruan breathed a sigh of relief: "So you really have fallen for him."

Upon hearing this, Su Tiantian's face immediately fell again, looking very distressed: "Then what should I do?"
