Chapter 10
"What's wrong, Jingyao? Is it from that rascal? How can there be such a shameless person, even sending him the 'New Marriage Law', and still pestering him like this..."
"No, it's a letter from my younger brother."
Lu Jingyao hurriedly folded the letter, avoiding the two overly "enthusiastic" roommates from seeing the content on it.
"No, your face is wrong. If it's a letter from your younger brother, your face wouldn't be so ugly.
Don't be shy, if you have any difficulties, just say it, and we will all help you solve them."
"That's right, Jingyao, our thinking will inevitably conflict with old bad customs, but this is also our responsibility.
We have a responsibility to educate those ignorant people and let them become enlightened and progressive..."
The two roommates chattered on and on, quickly wrapping Lu Jingyao in a daze. She now finally doubted whether the decision to accept the "care" of these two roommates was wrong.
After arriving at university in Beijing, Li Ye wrote to Lu Jingyao at a frequency of one letter a week for several months, successfully igniting the gossip fire of several enthusiastic sisters in the dormitory.
They were all older female youths who had gone up to the mountains and down to the countryside, and had rich experience in eloquence. How could Lu Jingyao, who was shallow in Taoism, be their opponent?
After one "care and concern" after another, she was finally tricked into revealing the entanglement with Li Ye.
Lu Jingyao was very conflicted. She wanted to completely escape the cage of the past, but she was afraid that her family members left in Qingshui County would be retaliated against by the Li family.
When Lu's father said "If Li Ye can get into university next year, I won't oppose you two," Lu Jingyao clearly felt her father's cowardice and retreat.
And after Lu Jingyao's roommates heard Lu Jingyao's complaint, they were directly "publicly angry."
In this era of everything being renewed, how could a female college student, the pride of heaven, still endure the moral kidnapping of the evil old society?
Criticize, must criticize.
Even if that Li Ye had already agreed to break off the engagement, his family's attitude was too bad and must be severely criticized.
Several classmates offered advice, break-up letters, returning dowries, law books, a set of combination punches with rules and methods, swearing to completely smash the daydream of the country toad.
Looking at it now, Lu Jingyao's plan seemed to have succeeded. Li Ye publicly took back that 26-inch Phoenix car, which was equivalent to publicly breaking up with her and completely severing the relationship.
But this result was not the result Lu Jingyao wanted!
Lu Jingyao originally hoped that Li Ye could "understand" her, support "noble and pure freedom," and then actively resolve the conflict between the Lu family and the Li family, resolving this grievance that was unclear who was right and who was wrong.
Based on Lu Jingyao's understanding of Li Ye, he should be able to realize his mistake, show a man's responsibility, and persuade the Li family not to care about this matter.
Only Li Ye could solve this matter peacefully and quietly.
But according to the scene described in her younger brother's letter, Li Ye seemed to have become completely strange.
If you use the tone of the two roommates, it's that this toad is very uninteresting!
Thinking of this, the tall, handsome toad climbed into Lu Jingyao's heart unknowingly.
Lu Jingyao hurriedly shook her head, making herself rational.
She didn't want to get entangled with Li Ye anymore, and didn't want to endure the oppression of being given charity by others.
"Jingyao, what's wrong with you? If you have anger, don't hold it in your stomach... let sister see your brother's letter, we will give you ideas..."
Lu Jingyao's behavior was like an accelerant, making the gossip water of the two roommates swell and burn, burning until their hearts were itchy and uncomfortable.
Lu Jingyao was a bit annoyed, but she was embarrassed to refuse the kindness of her roommates, and at this time, Watching Liu Muhan in the upper bunk suddenly spoke.
"Lu Jingyao, Xu Xue, Ma Li, this is Lu Jingyao's private matter after all, are you too concerned?"
"What are you talking about?"
Xu Xue immediately said: "Xiao Liu, you children from the city don't know the rudeness of country people at all.
If you don't believe me, ask Ma Li, how many educated youth who went to the countryside were cheated by country people, and finally couldn't return to the city and regretted it for a lifetime..."
"..."
Watching Liu Muhan looked at Xu Xue and Ma Li, and shrank back into her quilt.
Although she was in the same dormitory as Lu Jingyao and others, there was a hidden barrier because of some living habits.
Usually, she didn't talk much to her roommates. This time, she couldn't stand it and reminded Lu Jingyao. Whether she listened or not was actually up to Lu Jingyao herself.
Lu Jingyao also seemed to realize something and said to Xu Xue and Ma Li: "It's okay, it's just that my younger brother wants to take next year's college entrance exam in advance, and wrote to ask for my opinion."
He Xue didn't believe it and said: "Isn't your younger brother in the first year of high school? You want him to take the college entrance exam next year?"
Lu Jingyao smiled: "He studies well, he wants to try it casually. If he doesn't get in, he can gain more experience, right?"
"That's right."
He Xue and Ma Li then let Lu Jingyao go and chatted about other news.
After a while, He Xue suddenly said mysteriously: "Jingyao, do you know? That Qian Shun seems to have a crush on you. If you think he's good, I'll help you matchmake?"
Lu Jingyao was stunned and hurriedly said: "No, Sister He, I'm not considering anything other than study now."
He Xue sighed and said: "That's a pity, Qian Shun has family background and talent..."
Lu Jingyao lowered her head silently, wishing she could cover her ears.
That Qian Shun, how similar to Li Ye?
Also well-off, spending money lavishly, also having that kind of superiority that he didn't even notice, also... gone...
Except for these two common points, there was nothing in common between the two.
Li Ye was 1.8 meters tall, Qian Shun was 1.6 meters tall;
Li Ye had a handsome face, Qian Shun had a super-sized wine-red nose.
In Li Ye's bright eyes, there was only pure admiration, but the eyes Qian Shun swept over made Lu Jingyao feel uncomfortable.
If you only talk about appearance, Li Ye could almost get full marks in Lu Jingyao's eyes, while Qian Shun... it's hard to say.
If Li Ye was a toad, Qian Shun was a buzzing fly.
It wasn't until the afternoon that Lu Jingyao found an opportunity to be alone and spread out the letter paper to write back home.
In the letter, she advised her younger brother to be self-reliant, not to be vain, and to walk if there was no bicycle. As long as his grades were good, there would be a golden house in the book.
But when she wrote to the end, Lu Jingyao hesitated.
Because she knew the situation at home very well. Her younger brother Lu Zixue had been used to Li Ye's "bribery" for a year, and might not be able to adapt to a simple life in a short time.
With her mother's style of doting on her precious son, it was possible that she really wanted her to buy a bicycle for Lu Zixue.
And Li Ye's sudden act of reclaiming the bicycle would also make people around point fingers at the Lu family, causing waves again in the Lu family, which had finally calmed down.
After thinking for a long time, Lu Jingyao wrote a second letter.
【Li Ye, long time no see. The feeling you give me makes me feel strange. Where has that kind, generous, and responsible man gone?】
【You return the car to my younger brother... he is still young and cannot bear the rumors... don't worry, I will definitely pay you back the money for the bicycle with interest.】 *** **Chapter 11: Wen Leyu**
