Chapter 963

"Do you think this Yenching University is Tsinghua or Peking University?" Li Zhuangsheng asked in a low voice.
"do not know."
“Isn’t Yenching just Beijing? It should be Peking University.” Li Zhuangsheng asked himself and answered.
Lin Yuehua stared silently at the screen, without saying a word.
"Hey, by the way, you said you wanted to apply to Tsinghua University... I think you still have a good chance. Don't forget me if you get into Tsinghua!"
Li Zhuangsheng said jokingly.
Lin Yuehua did not answer, but remained silent.
Li Zhuangsheng sighed and could only continue watching the movie in silence. Watching Cheng Dongqing with the goddess, and then watching Cheng Dongqing being ruthlessly abandoned by her, his gaze grew increasingly strange.
He couldn't understand.
He couldn't understand why the male lead kept pursuing the female lead so relentlessly. She would rather jump into a lake than agree to be with him; after being rejected to this extent, a normal person should feel ashamed, right? Yet he persisted.
What surprised him even more was that he thought the male lead's forced kiss on the female lead was a form of sexual harassment, yet the two of them ended up together because of it.
I don't understand, I really don't understand.
However, seeing the male lead get dumped, Li Zhuangsheng felt somewhat relieved, even as if it were perfectly natural. He couldn't see that the female lead loved the male lead; it seemed more like Cheng Dongqing's one-sided infatuation.
So the female lead dumped the male lead after arriving in the United States. This is perfectly normal; in fact, Li Zhuangsheng foresaw this outcome when he saw that the male lead's visa for going abroad had not been approved.
After all, Cheng Dongqing was so humble. Li Zhuangsheng was extremely unhappy with his humility, but it made perfect sense. After all, it was the male lead who loved the female lead, not the other way around.
But Li Zhuangsheng was still very unhappy, unhappy that the male lead had to love someone who didn't love him back in such a humble way. He didn't understand why men had to do that.
Despite the fact that this is how the world seems to develop, almost all works of art and literature strive to portray men as passive and weak in love, merely waiting for the goddess to favor them.
You've been dating a foreign woman for four years, and suddenly one day she comes to you and says, "I'm going back to America alone." How would you respond?
No, don't say anything, just turn around and leave, otherwise she'll treat you like a piece of luggage.
Oh, yes, yes, yes!
Upon seeing this scene in the movie, Li Zhuangsheng suddenly slapped his thigh, feeling a strong sense of resonance and exhilaration.
He felt this wasn't just true for foreign women; it applied to all romantic situations. The most pathetic person is the one who clings on relentlessly. When someone breaks up with you or rejects you, it's better to gracefully walk away than to trample your self-respect into the mud.
Being rejected isn't clowning around; what's clowning around is. It's better to be cool than a clown.
At least he looks handsome, and he still has his self-esteem.
Although Li Zhuangsheng felt that Wang Yang, who said those words, must have humbly tried to win back his girlfriend after being dumped by the American woman, admitting his mistakes and correcting them is commendable; at least he was able to glean a correct view of relationships from the experience.
After witnessing this scene, Li Zhuangsheng seemed to have released some kind of emotional burden, finding the subsequent content rather dull.
He was thinking of leaving; he felt that his daily routine was meaningless and he wanted to go out for a walk.
Li Zhuangsheng secretly observed Lin Yuehua again. She remained expressionless, her pupils somewhat unfocused, as if she were either daydreaming or watching a movie.
"I'm going to the restroom," Li Zhuangsheng said to Lin Yuehua beside him.
Although there were no explicit rules, in Li Zhuangsheng's subconscious, telling Lin Yuehua was the same as telling the teacher, and therefore it wouldn't count as skipping class.
Lin Yuehua, preoccupied at the moment, would certainly acquiesce. This was Li Zhuangsheng's clever trick.
"You just went to the toilet when get out of class ended."
However, Lin Yuehua coldly exposed Li Zhuangsheng's lie.
"Uh, because I have frequent urination, urgency, and incomplete emptying of my bladder..." Li Zhuangsheng blurted out, spouting nonsense. "What do you want to do?" Lin Yuehua asked in a low voice.
Li Zhuangsheng hesitated for a moment, but decided to answer honestly: "I want to go for a walk. It feels a bit stuffy in the classroom. I want to go to the playground."
"Oh."
"Then... I'll go?"
"Well, let's go."
"OK, thanks!"
Li Zhuangsheng nodded repeatedly, having received Lin Yuehua's formal authorization. Even if he was caught, he could say, "I already told Lin Yuehua," thus avoiding the teacher's scolding. The teachers would still give Lin Yuehua face.
After putting on his school uniform jacket, Li Zhuangsheng quickly got up and quietly left the classroom.
A cool evening breeze blew through the corridor, and Li Zhuangsheng felt a long-lost sense of freedom and exhilaration. He always felt this way after a major exam.
Li Zhuangsheng hurried downstairs and headed towards the playground, where he saw the abandoned platform in the corner in the distance.
He couldn't help but smile slightly, and just as he was about to walk over, he noticed two people standing in the shadows on the side of the playground.
Although there was a man and a woman, they didn't look like a couple based on the distance between them.
Never mind, it's none of my business... Wait, isn't that woman Little Dragon Girl?
Li Zhuangsheng blinked and revealed a slightly ambiguous smile. This scene, this atmosphere, oh, it should be that he was being confessed to!
Although he wasn't familiar with Yi Yunshui, they were at least nodding acquaintances. Moreover, Yi Yunshui had a good relationship with his sister, so Li Zhuangsheng curiously approached her quietly.
"I've been pursuing you for so long, give me some kind of response."
"I've already said I'm not interested."
"Oh, let's talk! I really like you, and I'll definitely treat you well!"
"I'm not interested. If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving."
Li Zhuangsheng watched helplessly as Yi Yunguo decisively refused, turned around and left, leaving the boy looking dejected and embarrassed.
Well, as expected of Yi Yunshui, who is known as the Ice Beauty, she's so straightforward and blunt, showing no mercy whatsoever. Li Zhuangsheng, who had originally wanted to watch the show, couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself.
No wonder he's a good friend who hangs out with Li Xiuyu; their attitudes towards rejecting people are quite similar.
However, it's not entirely incomprehensible to Yi Yunshui.
"Hey, brother, is that you?"
Yi Yunshui then clearly saw the face of the person not far away, and a smile appeared on her face.
"Um, um... hello." Li Zhuangsheng nodded somewhat awkwardly. Seeing the other person take the initiative to approach, he could only try to make conversation, "Aren't you with Li Xiuyu?"
"We're not in the same class."
"Okay, well... you keep playing, I'll be going now!"
"Okay, goodbye, brother!"
Li Zhuangsheng left quickly, and Yi Yunshui had no interest in him either, so the two exchanged a few polite words and parted ways.
Just as Li Zhuangsheng was heading to the platform, he passed by the boy who had been rejected. The two exchanged a glance, and the boy looked at him with hostility.
No, why are you hostile towards me? I have nothing to do with her!
Li Zhuangsheng inwardly scoffed, but didn't take the little incident to heart. (End of Chapter)
