Sheet 1107: Stubbornness

“I’m coming in! Huh… what sound?”

During the holidays, Shen Jie came to Tokyo again, but as soon as she walked in, she heard the sound of machinery. Shen Jie followed the voice to the study and saw cartoons coming out of the printers.

Next to the printer, there is a flashing computer: “Teacher, I have passed the final draft of the manga to you, please take a look at it.”

There are still messages on the computer’s chat interface. When Shen Jie was surprised, Meng Huo, who walked into the study following behind, explained: “That’s Qin Ya. When I went to pick you up, I left the computer on and asked her to upload the comics remotely come.”

Shen Jie’s eyes lit up immediately: “Are you new comics? Can I take a look?”

“Of course.” Meng Huo nodded: “Do you like her cartoons?”

“I’m a senior female reader. It’s impossible not to be interested in her comics…” Shen Jie said, and then picked up the printed manuscript.

“Then I’m going to cook.” Meng Huo turned and went out to prepare dinner. Shen Jie sat down, but before reading the cartoon, she suddenly remembered something and took out her mobile phone and sent a text message.

“Han Xuan, did you find that painting? It’s been a week!”

The painting she said was a sketch mentioned by Meng Huo not long ago. Shen Jie asked Han Xuan when she returned to Su Hua last time, but Han Xuan said that she had forgotten where it was placed and that she needed time to find it.

——”It’s miserable! Shen Jie hasn’t forgotten it!” Han Xuan became nervous as soon as he received the text message on Comic Island: “She won’t run over, right?”

Han Xuan didn’t know that Shen Jie had gone to Tokyo, and thought she might come over like last week.

In fact, the painting was not forgotten by Han Xuan, she just didn’t want Shen Jie to take it away-in a hurry, Han Xuan returned a perfunctory text message again, and then called Li Yu to her dormitory.

“Li Yu, you must help me this time. If Shen Jie sees the painting, she will definitely take it away!” After Li Yu entered the door, Han Xuan shook her hand: “If Shen Jie next time Come over. I said that the painting was accidentally damaged that year, and you have to testify to me.”

“Actually, it’s better for you to give that picture to Shen Jie…” Li Yu sighed. Han Xuan is still the same, wanting to monopolize the painting.

She remembered the scene where she saw the sketch for the first time that year. Han Xuan’s performance at that time seemed to imply that she would not give the painting to other people.

“Li Yu, Li Yu, I met Meng Huo just now, and he drew a picture for us.”

That was when they were in their first year of high school. When Han Xuan came back from the playground one day, her face was full of happy expressions—Li Yu rarely saw her so happy.

Meng Huo drew a sketch for the three of them. It was indeed a great work, but in retrospect, Han Xuan’s performance impressed Li Yu even more.

“Look, it’s pretty… he paints better than the art teacher’s, he seems to be observing me and you seriously…”

“Don’t you think it’s curious… I always feel that Meng Huo always has a mysterious feeling on him. I heard that his family background is very ordinary, so how can he have so many privileges in school?”

“…You don’t have to come to school, and the school will delay the music course for him… Sure enough, it’s because he is a genius…”

At that time, Han Xuan rarely said a lot about Meng Huo in front of Li Yu. But indeed. Looking back, Meng Huo always gave her a mature feeling in Li Yu’s memory, after meeting him. The classmates around them have become like children, without the charm of boys.

At that time, Meng Huo didn’t feel very talkative, and they didn’t know his true identity, but his sense of stability was particularly safe. Even when Shen Jie is present and four people go out to have fun together, Meng Huo will naturally take the lead.

“Shen Jie too, completely suppressed by him…”

Li Yu thought, and then sat down in Han Xuan’s dormitory.

She looked at the carefully framed painting that Han Xuan took out, and many memories of the past were activated. She still remembered that Shen Jie was a heartthrob in their school at that time.

Not long after entering school, Shen Jie was already known to everyone in Ninghai No. 1 Middle School. She has excellent grades, all-round athleticism, and a good personality. When she saw it, nine out of ten boys blushed.

But Meng Huo is indeed an exception. Under the calm appearance of this boy, there is a more mysterious and powerful soul than Shen Jie.

“Speaking of it, Han Xuan is only because Meng Huo is better than Shen Jie…” Li Yu thought, she knew why Han Xuan was unwilling to give this sketch to Shen Jie.

“Han Xuan, do you still remember the words that the two of us uttered when we saw this painting?” Li Yu put down the painting and raised her head to ask Han Xuan.

“The two of us? Um… I think, is that sentence?”

“It should be that sentence.”

The two women glanced at each other, and then both laughed: “Sure enough, the people who come out of Qingcheng are all monsters!”

The laughter went back in time. When they were still in their first year of high school, they often made jokes like Shen Jie and Meng Huo.

“However, the people who came out of Qingcheng are all monsters. If you look at it now…” Han Xuan sighed after laughing, “Actually, we are all wrong. Qingcheng is also Shen Jie and Meng Huo. monster.”

After Shen Jie and Meng Huo, Ninghai No. 1 Middle School also recruited several students from Qingcheng, but none of these people showed the ‘powerful’ sense of Shen Jie and Meng Huo.

“We are still bound by these two monsters now…” Li Yu smiled. She was drinking tea and wondering whether she should be more clear.

“Han Xuan, I still think it’s better to hand over the painting to Shen Jie. She didn’t say that she wants to take this painting away, right?” Li Yu said.

“If she doesn’t tell me, I know that if she sees it, she will take it away.” Han Xuan took the painting back from Li Yu’s hand: “This is mine. I asked Meng Huo who he would give it to… I didn’t say to give it to Shen Jie.”

“But what he said was to give it to us.” Li Yu frowned: “It didn’t mean to give it to you.”

“We have three people, but if Shen Jie knows, she will become her alone. Meng Huo only gave us this gift. At the beginning I asked you if you wanted it, but you told me to keep it!” Han Xuan stepped in. Don’t let it.

Li Yu did agree with Han Xuan’s approach back then, because both of them understood Shen Jie’s temperament. If Shen Jie saw this painting, she would definitely take it away, for no reason—as long as it was Meng Huo’s painting. .

Shen Jie’s obsession with Meng Huo. Before she herself found out, Han Xuan and Li Yu had already understood from the perspective of onlookers. However, Shen Jie has a lot of Meng Huo’s things, and she doesn’t lack such one.

Han Xuan and Li Yu didn’t get anything from Meng Huo. So the two hope to keep the picture. And Li Yu gave the painting to Han Xuan for safekeeping because she understood that Han Xuan cared more about it than she did.

This sketch of three girls has a more special meaning to Han Xuan-it was handed to her by Meng Huo. It was also the first time she discovered that Meng Huo remembered her well.

“…” Li Yu’s mind flashed past the general manager, but the past is the past, and her current thinking has changed: “Han Xuan…I still think it’s better to give the painting to Shen Jie, and it stays by your side. , Will always restrain you.”

Li Yu stretched out his hand: “Give it to me. If you refuse to let go, then let me hand it over to Shen Jie.”

Han Xuan’s face turned cold: “What do you mean? Li Yu?”

“I…Han Xuan…enough…” Li Yu bit his lip and said from the bottom of his heart: “It’s time for you to put Meng Huo down.”

“Keep that picture. It won’t do you any good.”

“…You, you will also take the initiative to say these things.” Han Xuan’s face changed slightly, but then she became softer: “I thought you would keep hiding in your heart and wouldn’t say it.”

Li Yu shook her head, she didn’t want to say anything, this kind of scaring thing is not something she likes to do.

However, seeing Han Xuan being like this today, she has to say something.

“You tied yourself to the past, Han Xuan.” Li Yu held Han Xuan’s hand: “Look at Liu Yun, isn’t she like that? You also learn from her and find an ordinary boyfriend. It’s time to set yourself free. .”

“What about you?” Han Xuan smiled: “Why don’t you find one?”

“Didn’t I find the one you like?” Li Yu muttered: “I am not like you. I am afraid of contact with boys…”

“Are you waiting for other boys to chase you?” Han Xuan smiled even more: “I heard that the editorial department is all girls, and there are many unmarried editors, and the cartoonists you meet are all girls… ”

“Ah. Stop, stop!” Li Yu quickly waved his hand and refused: “We’re talking about you, don’t talk about it!”

“…I know, what’s my business…” Han Xuan put her smile away: “You don’t have to worry about me, sooner or later I will let go, but if it’s so easy to let go, Shen Jie should have let go…”

“But Shen Jie really likes Meng Huo, you don’t…” Li Yu said.

“The reason you like Meng Huo is just because he is better than Shen Jie, isn’t it?” She looked at Han Xuan’s stunned expression and continued: “You have been reluctant to admit defeat. Up to now, you still haven’t given up to compare with Shen Jie. That’s not like it at all.”

Han Xuan was shocked, followed by a wry smile. Sure enough, no one is a fool, and Li Yu, who is closest to her, knows her thoughts better than anyone else.

What Li Yu said was not wrong. The reason why Han Xuan liked Meng Huo was not because she liked him from the beginning. It’s because Meng Huo is better than Shen Jie. For Han Xuan, Meng Huo is a man to look forward to, because he convinced Shen Jie, who is more powerful than himself, to defeat, and that’s what Han Xuan never extinguished in her heart.

No matter how powerful Shen Jie was, Han Xuan could not give up the idea of ​​comparing her with her. She wanted to admit that Shen Jie was someone she couldn’t beat her for a lifetime, but she couldn’t help it.

Because Han Xuan had seen Shen Jie’s fragile appearance, and saw her as painful and like a person as an ordinary girl, she had long discovered that Shen Jie was a person, an ordinary girl.

Han Xuan couldn’t keep looking up at her because she was an ordinary girl. She knew that Shen Jie had weaknesses, and she longed to find the ‘prudence’ that was destroyed by Shen Jie.

“Li Yu, I have been very proud since I was a child…” Han Xuan said, “When I first entered high school, Shen Jie destroyed my pride. But now, I can’t be like you and tell myself that I am better than you in my life. Not Shen Jie.”

Li Yu was silent. Speaking of pride, why is she not? In fact, among the out-of-town students who were admitted to Ninghai No. 1 Middle School, every one of them is the proud son of their hometown, and everyone will have pride in their hearts.

But as Han Xuan said, Li Yu had already thrown away his pride in the process of getting along with Shen Jie—this is the correct approach, but Han Xuan was unable to discard the last trace of pride, which led to the present situation. situation.

“In front of Meng Huo, I knew for the first time that Shen Jie was not a monster, but a person like myself. She would show the same sad and painful expression as me, and that was in front of Meng Huo-so I Very longing for Meng Huo.” Han Xuan said, “He accomplished what I couldn’t do.”

“So… you don’t actually like Meng Huo by your own thoughts, you just yearn for him to convince Shen Jie to defeat.” Li Yu was a little sad.

However, Han Xuan did not think so.

“I know what you are worried about for me, and I have asked myself many times.” Han Xuan said, “I didn’t quite understand when I was in high school, but after so many years, I have got the answer.”

“The answer is…”

“I like him because he is stronger than Shen Jie… That’s not wrong…” Han Xuan smiled.

But she immediately said: “But no matter what the reason is, I haven’t let go of Meng Huo… It’s not because of the resistance to Shen Jie, of course this is correct…”

“Until now, I still hope that one day I can beat Shen Jie in a certain way. I want her to know that I am not one of her followers… although she may not care at all…”

Li Yu didn’t understand: “Then you are still because of Shen Jie…”

“No, it’s not right…” Han Xuan interrupted Li Yu: “Shen Jie is Shen Jie, and Meng Huo is Meng Huo. My rebellion against Shen Jie is just to prove my pride, but I did not let go of Meng Huo, and Shen Jie doesn’t matter…”

Li Yu was helpless: “But in the end, you haven’t told me why…”

“Maybe, this is my pride…” Han Xuan said with a smile: “I have seen the sun, the moon and stars can’t get in my eyes… I don’t want to leave, but I don’t have a chance, because until now… …I still haven’t seen anyone better than Meng Huo.”

She couldn’t help it. She was different from ordinary women. Han Xuan had a proud heart on her chest and fell in love with Meng Huo. She was not allowed to choose another person at random.

“But you haven’t played like this at all There are not many people in this world who are better than Menghuo…”

“Moreover, people who are better than him won’t look at me.” Han Xuan knew better than Li Yu how stupid her pride was, but she couldn’t change her nature.

“So, Li Yu…I won’t let go, but I won’t pick it up either. Time can change a lot of things.”

Han Xuan told Li Yu of her thoughts that she was not bound by Meng Huo, because for her now, her work and life are more realistic-maybe after many years, her thoughts will change, or she will like another one. people.

How Han Xuan chose her life, she gave it to her future self. She did not restrain herself, but entrusted herself to the future… But now, she will not give that painting to Shen Jie…

“Shen Jie can’t take everything… Besides… he’s not married either…” Han Xuan picked up the painting and said, “I wait for him to get married, and then let me give up completely.”

“Your stubborn place is also a bit like Shen Jie…” Li Yu couldn’t help but smile, but she understood Han Xuan’s thoughts, and she didn’t continue to insist. (To be continued.)
