Who wants to take the civil service exam after being reborn?

Chapter 672 A woman’s thoughts

Chen Zhe had almost become accustomed to Yi Baoyu's mood swings.

I thought she would just say a few complaints and that would be the end of it, but this time she kept nagging and wouldn't stop until she kicked the scoundrel out of the room.

In Chen Zhe's view, this reaction was actually a bit abnormal, because the whole thing had nothing to do with her, and it was she who took the initiative to explore it intentionally.

However, in order not to escalate the conflict, Director Chen retreated and left.

When he got to the first floor and patted his pockets, he realized that his phone had slipped out of his pocket and was left in Yi Baoyu's room.

Chen is the kind of person who can go a day without money, but he can't go a moment without his phone. There are too many things that need to be handled by his phone, so he gritted his teeth and went back to the hotel room door.

He reached out to knock on the door, but was worried about running into Gege's "gun," so he could only think of a reason that wouldn't seem too abrupt.

Inside the room, Yi Baoyu stood alone by the window.

The cold wind of early January blew in through the half-open window, chilling and desolate against her face. The Oriental Pearl Tower shone brightly in the night, but in her eyes, it appeared dim and lifeless.

She was angry with Chen Zhe, not because she felt sorry for Yu Xian.

She was just using this excuse to cover up her bitterness.

I originally thought Song Shiwei was a wooden beauty and Yu Xuan was a gold digger.

Even if it's just self-deception, there should still be at least the slightest possibility between myself and Chen Zhe.

However, during the conversation just now, Yi Baoyu discovered that it wasn't like that.

When Song Shiwei is with Chen Zhe, she also has her cute little thoughts;
Yu Hsuan is not a gold digger; she just looks like one.

Only I feel like a clown, clumsily searching for my own "dirty thoughts" in the happiness of others.

"Actually, nobody likes me, and nobody cares about me."

Yi Baoyu thought about it obsessively.

This is a suite, located on the top floor of the hotel, offering the most expansive panoramic view.

But what if you trample everyone under your feet?

The lights of countless homes for ordinary people, the warmth within reach, are ultimately separated by a pane of glass, and never truly belong to them.

For the first time, Gege realized that this surname, which she was so proud of, was actually the reason for her terrible life.

The mother seems to love him, but this love is merely a sense of responsibility that stems from "I am her child, so I have to care about her."

She may have unconsciously projected some of her resentment towards her father onto her child.

Needless to say, my father had no sense of family responsibility or family honor. He probably loved me, but all his energy was wasted on sensual pleasures.

Those uncles and elders were either racking their brains for their own little families or exhausting their efforts for the greater good.

In their eyes, even relatives can become tools, and everyone is just a pawn in the game of "revitalizing the family".

Those older brothers and sisters are all good-for-nothings who can't be brought to the table.

Those friends from the compound, whom I haven't seen for so many years, all have their own thoughts and feelings, and it's hard to find that pure feeling from back then.

……

The howling winter wind can easily add insult to injury to an already low mood.

The more Yi Baoyu thought about it, the more desolate and sad she became.

"I wish I hadn't gone back to China!"

Princess Gege kicked the coffee table away with a loud bang. The expensive teapot on it wobbled twice before finally falling to the ground.

"Dong Dong Dong~"

The next moment, there was a rapid knocking on the door.

"Who?"

Yi Baoyu asked impatiently.

"I!"

Surprisingly, it was that bastard Chen.

"what's up?"

The princess, who was in a state of self-pity, felt a strange sense of comfort from the sudden voice.

"that……"

Chen didn't answer, but asked first, "I think I heard something fall to the ground."

"how do you know?"

Before Yi Baoyu could finish speaking, she suddenly realized what was happening and quickly ran to open the door. As she passed the full-length mirror, she stopped, quickly wiped away a tear from the corner of her eye, and tugged at the hem of her clothes, trying to appear as if nothing had happened.

The door creaked open, and Gege looked Chen up and down: "You haven't left at all?"

"Ah...cough cough..."

Director Chen paused for a moment, then rubbed his nose and gave an embarrassed smile, realizing he'd been caught out: "I sensed you were a bit agitated, so I didn't dare leave. Did something fall over just now?"

"no!"

After receiving this definite answer, Yi Baoyu felt as if a withered branch had been warmed by the sun, and most of the gloom from before had been swept away. However, she still stubbornly refused to admit it.

Chen Zhe, standing in the corridor, tiptoed and peered inside, spotting the teapot "sleeping" on the floor.

"Hey~"

Director Chen couldn't help but sigh. He pushed open the door and went in. As he bent down to pick up the teapot, he took the opportunity to grab the cell phone from the chair.

Yi Baoyu did not stop him, letting Chen brush past her and allowing him to meticulously clean up the mess, a strange feeling flickering in his eyes.

If tonight has made you unhappy.

After tidying up, Chen turned around and said, "I'm sorry, I want to apologize to you."

"Oh."

Yi Baoyu nodded expressionlessly.

"Then... I'll leave first."

Chen said.

Now that we've got the phone, what's the point of staying here?
However, from Yi Baoyu's perspective, this man had waited until now only to apologize to her.

"Chen Zhe".

Gege suddenly called out to his retreating figure.

"What are your instructions?"

Chen turned around and asked with a smile.

Am I really that annoying? Actually, not many people around me like me?

Yi Baoyu's gaze remained fixed on the man before her.

Chen's mind started racing like a generator.

He wanted to analyze why Gege said that.

Hmm... more than 90% of them probably had a mental breakdown after their blind dates in the capital failed.

It seems that even those third-generation princes couldn't stand Princess Yi's temper.

"how come."

Director Chen said gently but firmly, "In my opinion, this is not your problem. A radiant woman needs more than ordinary appreciation and liking; she needs a higher level of spiritual companionship. The opinions of those shallow people around you are not worthy of your profound character!"

"A higher level of soul companionship..."

Yi Baoyu muttered to himself.

Seeing that she seemed lost in thought, Chen Zhe politely said again, "Then I'll be going now. You should get some rest."

"Oh, so you don't have to stand guard outside this time, you know?"

Princess Gege solemnly instructed.

"Okay okay."

Chen responded hastily.

With a loud "bang," Gege closed the door to her room.

But after a while, she suddenly opened it again with a "whoosh".

The corridor was completely empty this time; there wasn't a single person in sight.

"They really left!"

Princess said resentfully, "Are you in such a hurry to go back and sleep with that little vixen!"

Women's thoughts are hard to understand.

The only sentence in the world that uses double negatives yet still expresses negation—

Woman: I'm not unhappy.

······
(Goodnight, everyone.)
