"I tell you this because I don't want to deny your love and the person who loves you, Xiaozi." Shu Baizhu also stood up.
She was only 1.65 meters tall, and when she stood up, she had to raise her head slightly to look Ziyi in the eye.
"Do you remember when you followed me home in your senior year of high school and saw my dad worrying about the family factory? In order to show off, you told him about investing?"
They were all young at that time. Ziyi was eager to give Shu Baizhu a sense of security, but Shu Baizhu had not yet really understood the thoughts of each family member. They suggested that Shu's father was in trouble and Ziyi could help.
Ziyi dared to bring it up, and Shu Baizhu did not object. After a brief shock, Shu's father gladly accepted it.
He began to inquire about Ziyi's family background both openly and secretly.
Ziyi had nothing to hide. Almost all her classmates knew what her mother did. They also knew that Chunyang Cottage was hers and they would visit her home every now and then. As for what her father did, Ziyi didn't mention it much except to Shen Zhiming and Shu Baizhu.
Classmates who were close to her only thought that Ziyi came from a divorced family and Ziyu was a single parent raising a child.
If the Shu family wanted to inquire, Ziyi had no intention of hiding anything and stated her family background openly.
Shu Baizhu laughed, and then tears suddenly slid down her cheeks, which made Ziyi feel uncomfortable. She took a piece of paper from the table and handed it to him, "So, you don't want me to give your family too much?"
"My mother went shopping at the mall and wanted to keep your account, and you said okay. Ah Zhen wanted to buy some limited edition sneakers, which cost more than 10,000 yuan a pair, and you also agreed. Xiaozi, I know you agreed to spend all this money because of me, but..."
Shu Baizhu sat down helplessly, covering her face with her hands, tears streaming down her fingers, "It's not that I don't want you to spend that money, but they can't feed them. My parents obviously don't like you, but they still want to use your feelings for me to make you spend money and give them resources. I don't want you to be treated as a fool by them, and I don't want them to become like this now, which I can't recognize at all."
Ziyi and her family are a difficult choice for Shu Baizhu.
"I told you to ignore them, but you always ignored me and told me it was okay. I don't know what to do, Xiaozi."
Shu Baizhu said it tactfully enough. Her parents not only disliked Ziyi, but also unscrupulously belittled Ziyi as a "stupid, rich and easy sucker" in places where Ziyi could not see or hear.
But could Shu Baizhu tell Ziyi these words exactly as they were? She couldn't, "Because you never listened to me..."
"You blame me. It's me who made your family become like this." Ziyi said in a hoarse voice, "So you are always cold to me. You don't want me to spend money on your family anymore. You are really blaming me."
The air was stagnant for a long time, and the only sound was Shu Baizhu's low sobs, except for the sound of Zizhi's breathing.
"Yes... I blame you, Ziyi. I thought my family was a happy family."
The moment he looked into Ziyi's eyes, Shu Baizhu's vision, which he had just wiped clean with a tissue, was blurred by hot tears again.
This was the thing she was most reluctant to admit, but she had to admit it in front of Ziyi.
Ziyi took a deep breath, not knowing what to say. She rubbed her temples and walked back and forth a few steps, her tone a little aggressive, "Shu Baizhu, I'm not stubborn and don't want to listen to you, it's..."
Ziyi was almost choked with anger when she was halfway through her words. She hated herself for still wanting to save face for Shu Baizhu and protect her self-esteem until this moment.
"I know, it's not that you don't want to listen to me, but my parents, my brother and A Zhen came to you," Shu Baizhu said for Ziyi, "They used me as a bargaining chip, and you couldn't refuse, right?"
"Actually, I've always wanted to tell you that your family..." Ziyi was once again speechless because of her tangled thoughts. She was so angry that she poured a full cup of tea and drank it in three or two gulps while standing in front of the table.
"My family doesn't love me that much. They don't even love me." Shu Baizhu curled his lips. "When you came to my house for dinner before, you always argued with my parents at the dinner table. At that time, I kicked you under the table to make you restrain yourself."
Her parents had woven a beautiful dream for her, making Shu Baizhu believe that her parents' love was equally shared among the three of them. But as she grew older, she discovered that dreams were as fragile as a soap bubble.
Whether she loves him or not is something that can be seen at a glance, but she seems to be a stubborn person in the game, deceiving herself and staying in the game for so many years, and even obsessively lets Ziyi bear her anger about the injustice at home.
"I thought you were arrogant and rebellious," Shu Baizhu couldn't help but chuckle with a heart full of sarcasm. She was laughing at her own ridiculousness and the strange rules and customs of this world. "In fact, you are the one who is willing to give me a lot of love. Even though you are angry, you still want to save some dignity for me and don't want me to be too sad."
"So, we are not suitable, Xiaozi. That night you changed your mind and didn't want to get engaged to me. I was happy for your choice, and I was also...really relieved."
Otherwise, they would not be happy together. Her feelings for Ziyi were too complicated, and Ziyi would be forced to bear the burden of her family every minute he was with her.
She wanted Ziyi to be well, so she had to restrain all her emotions, and all Ziyi got from her was grievance.
Ziyi thought that with Shu Baizhu's proud personality, she would only be able to make Shu Baizhu truly happy if she left and avoided all the embarrassment that belonged to Shu Baizhu.
She sat down again. The fish in the bowl had completely cooled down, but Ziyi still put the piece of fish into her mouth.
The cold fish meat had an indescribable fishy smell, but Ziyi tasted another flavor in the fish meat. Perhaps it was relief, after getting Shu Baizhu's personal admission of love for her.
The resentment in my heart seemed to dissipate in the breath.
"Forget it, it's all in the past." Ziyi opened a pack of wet wipes, wiped her hands, and curled her eyes at Shu Baizhu, "It's all in the past."
The moment she was reborn, or in other words, the moment she died in her previous life, there was no possibility for her and Shu Baizhu to be together anymore.
"Yes, I hope you can find happiness, Xiaozi." Shu Baizhu raised the goblet on the table, and the golden tea in the goblet swayed. "I will use tea instead of wine to wish you happiness."
"You too," Ziyi raised her glass and clinked it with Shu Baizhu's. The glasses made a crisp sound when they collided with each other. "But I still say the same thing. If you have any troubles in the future, you can still come to me. The emotional issues are over, but the feelings we have known each other for many years will never be over."
Shu Baizhu hummed lightly and blinked her red and swollen eyes at Ziyi. As she blinked, her eye sockets began to feel sore again, but this time, she held back.
"What if Qin Yuhuan and I start fighting over resources?"
Posture: ...
"I didn't expect you to be a joker."
It gives people a sense of absurdity as if they have seen a ghost.
"Maybe it's because we talked it out," Shu Baizhu pretended to be relaxed. "Xiaozi, I'd like to say sorry for my indifference and blame towards you in the past. You were innocently implicated and became my punching bag."
I'm also sorry that I can't respond to this love.
