Chapter 1504 - 994: Troubles (2)
"Do you know how I’ve been feeling lately?" Lin Mengran sighed and gave a bitter smile, "Even when Lin Mengye treated me like that before, I never lost hope in life.
But now, just thinking about the day I’d have to separate from Zuo Jiang makes my heart ache terribly. Among all of us, even though you’re the youngest, you’re the most rational and understanding. Could you give me some advice? What should I do to make the best decision?"
Chuxia had encountered Xiao Shumei a few times.
She was considered one of the school’s celebrities; it was three months into the semester when she finally reported to school.
Initially, she was ostracized by the classmates, but after a few exams, the doubts about her vanished. Plus, with her good looks and excellent grades, many boys in the school were quite attentive to her. It turned out, she had a history with Zuo Jiang.
If things were really as Lin Mengran described, Zuo Jiang’s character does make one ponder. However, due to differences in male and female thinking, misunderstandings frequently occur between them. So, without asking directly, it’s hard to draw conclusions.
After a moment of silence, Chuxia looked at Lin Mengran, who was peeling garlic with her head down: "Don’t you think you should have a proper talk with Zuo Jiang?"
"I’m scared."
"Being scared will only make your condition worse, and..." Chuxia sighed, snatching the garlic clove from her hands, "Don’t hang your head. Raise it up and listen to me."
"I can hear just the same like this," Lin Mengran replied while grabbing the garlic clove back, "Don’t interrupt my work."
Chuxia: "..."
Having not heard Chuxia speak for a while, Lin Mengran sneaked a glance at her, seeing her looking helplessly at her, she sheepishly smiled: "Alright, I’m listening carefully." She set aside her work and sat upright.
"Actually, you know what you need to do. You’re just avoiding it..." Chuxia spread her hands, "You’re asking me to persuade you, but that’s just wanting me to help you make up your mind."
"Mm." Lin Mengran didn’t deny, "Indeed, I know that to truly resolve the issues between us, we have to have a frank discussion. But I’ve been afraid of the outcome of that talk, so I keep postponing it.
He asked me a few times why I was sulking, and I said it was nothing. In fact, with his intelligence, how could he not see through my lies? But, he didn’t press further.
The more it’s like this, the more uncertain I feel. If we break up, Lin Mengye would be the happiest person, and also, I don’t know how to face my grandpa and grandma."
"Why is everything you worry about because of others?" Chuxia frowned at her, "I always thought you were decisive, but when facing real problems, you’re so indecisive.
If the situation is really as you suspect, the result will be the same whether you speak early or late. Moreover, delaying will only make the result worse. If your suspicion is wrong, your weird attitude will certainly hurt Zuo Jiang’s feelings, and by then, getting back to how things were would be enormously troublesome.
Taking action whether you’re extending or withdrawing your head is like facing a knife, so why not be brave? Don’t forget, you’re our leader. If you want us to call you boss, you’d better act like one."
"Alright, I’ll try my best..." Lin Mengran sighed, still looking dejected, "Why do people have to grow up and face all these messy troubles? It’s so annoying!"
"What’s annoying you?" Yang Xiaoli came out, looking puzzled at Lin Mengran, "The boss hasn’t been quite right recently, is there something you’re hiding from us?"
"You’re the ones hiding things from me, saying I’m hiding things from you..." Lin Mengran rolled her eyes at her, "Pairing up with Ou Yi and totally ignoring my wellbeing, huh!"
Yang Xiaoli’s face flushed, looking at Chuxia: "What kind of tantrum is she having?"
"I won’t get involved..." Chuxia shrugged, "You figure it out yourself."
"That’s not nice..." Yang Xiaoli sat down next to Chuxia in a friendly manner, "Come on, tell me. The boss’s temper has been a bit volatile lately, and I don’t dare provoke her. For the stability and unity of everyone, any tips?"
"Should I tell her?" Chuxia looked at Lin Mengran.
Lin Mengran rolled her eyes at Yang Xiaoli, then said: "Go ahead."
"What have you been hiding from the boss lately?"
"We haven’t..." Yang Xiaoli suddenly paused, smiling awkwardly, "We were just trying to make the boss happy..." she said, looking at Lin Mengran, "You know everything?"
