The super rich starts with the self-discipline challenge

Chapter 171 Forget it, never mind
"Auntie, I already have someone I like."

When Zhang Yuzhen saw Ruan Xi's shy look, she subconsciously turned her head to look at her son. He was standing in front of the refrigerator with his back to them, drinking a glass of water, and didn't pay any attention to this side at all.

She secretly laughed at herself for being too sensitive.

How is this possible? She and Ayun are of different generations.

She smiled and said, "At your age, it's time to fall in love. If there's someone you like, just go after them boldly. It's okay for a girl to take the initiative."

"No." Ruan Xi shook her head.

"Why not?"

"My mom said that I can't fall in love during college and I have to focus on my studies."

Zhang Yuzhen said, "If you don't date in college, when will you date? After graduation, you'll be working and have a lot of things to do, so you'll have even less time to date."

Ruan Xi still shook her head, "I promised my mother."

Zhang Yuzhen advised, "What about the person you like? Will he always wait for you? What if he is with someone else?"

She whispered, "It's okay, I'll always wait for him."

Zhang Yuzhen was so anxious, "How come your thinking is even more conservative than mine? What if he marries someone else in the future? Wouldn't that delay you?"

Ruan Xi lowered his head and said nothing.

At this time, Zhong Yun came over to help Ruan Xi out and said, "Mom, it's getting late. You should also take a shower and go to bed early."

Zhang Yuzhen really felt sorry for this little girl. Her mother had passed away, but she was still so stubborn in listening to her mother because of her feelings for her mother.

He is so sensible that it makes people feel distressed.

Ruan Xi also stood up and said, "Auntie, please go take a shower. I still need to read a book."

Zhang Yuzhen didn't say much, went back to her room, found some clothes, and went into the bathroom.

……

Zhong Yun and Ruan Xi were left alone, one standing and the other sitting, and the atmosphere was a little subtle.

Ruan Xi pinched the corner of her clothes with her fingers, lowered her head and did not dare to look at him.

Zhong Yun drank water tactically until he finished a glass of water and was about to get some more.

"Are you angry?"

Just as he turned around, Ruan Xi asked timidly.

Am I that stingy?
Zhong Yun said, "You did the right thing. You must do what you promised your mother."

After he finished speaking, he paused for a moment before continuing, "If the person you like really finds another girlfriend, will you be sad?"

Ruan Xi's expression darkened, and she whispered, "Yes."

"But I can bear it."

Zhong Yun said, "Promise me one thing. If he really finds someone else as his girlfriend, don't wait for him. If you like someone, you don't need to be so humble. Don't wrong yourself. You deserve better."

After saying that, he entered the room and closed the door.

He walked to the window, feeling indescribable.

At his age, having experienced a lot, he can no longer find the pure feelings of his youth.

Perhaps, after he gradually got rid of the influence of overly strong male hormones, he became purer and more rational.

He liked Ruan Xi's innocence, and his heart would always beat fast every time he saw the undisguised attachment revealed in her clear eyes.

He also liked Meng Jiaen's coquettishness. She was like a cat. She was obviously very dependent on him, but she was afraid of being restrained by him. She often tried various ways to seek attention from him, but every time she got too close, she would run away as if frightened...

He said that he and her were just friends, good buddies, and he tried hard to think so.

But deep down in his heart, he understood better than anyone that in this world, there is no such thing as pure friendship between men and women.

With this excuse, he could feel at ease maintaining this relationship with Meng Jiaen and enjoy the ambiguity.

He also likes Xia Siyin's coolness and beauty.

Xia Siyin's disdain and ruthlessness towards others, and her closeness and trust towards him, formed a strong contrast. That feeling was incomparable.

Only in front of her could he clearly feel how unique and irreplaceable he was to another person.

Although, he would always deliberately think about Xia Siyin's shortcomings, the purpose was to remind himself not to let his imagination run wild. It was a kind of self-protection, so as not to get too deeply involved.

In fact, he was addicted.

Zhong Yun felt like he was schizophrenic, and he made up all kinds of lame excuses to maintain his relationships with these three women.

On the other hand, he knew deep down that this was the behavior of a complete scumbag.

Gao Yutao, Huang Wenchao, Huang Zhiyuan...and the principles his mother taught him, doesn't he understand?
Of course he understood, he just didn't want to let go.

……

When Zhong Yun read history in the past, he always felt that some historical figures were too stupid. How could they make such stupid mistakes?

As he grew older, he began to understand more and more the choices those people made.

Some things cannot be severed just because you want to.

Not everyone has the determination to take drastic measures.

Let alone breaking one's wrist, for most people, small things like quitting smoking, quitting playing mahjong, and quitting internet addiction are no different from taking their lives.

Zhong Yun was also very clear that their relationship could not remain in this state forever and would eventually collapse.

Now, he felt that collapse was not far away.

It's time to make a decision.

He looked at the night sky outside the window and wanted to smoke again, but when he thought of his mother at home, he had to hold back. He took a piece of chewing gum from the table, opened it, put it in his mouth and started chewing.

...It's twelve o'clock.

Zhong Yun lay on the sofa, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

At night, my mother slept in his room, Ruan Xi slept in her own room, and he could only sleep on the sofa.

He thought about it and it seemed that no one was suitable.

Ruan Xi promised her mother that she would not date during college for at least four years.

Could he endure it for four years?
He has no confidence at all.

Meng Jiaen, no, she is very opposed to falling in love, and has warned him more than once not to fall in love with her. If he really confronts her, who knows how she will react?
As for Xia Siyin, she even refuses to kiss, let alone go further. What's the difference between that and being a widow?
I'll choose another one.

Zhong Yun changed his approach and used the process of elimination. The question was, who should he give up?
Ruan Xi's parents were gone, and she was trying to commit suicide the day they met. If he didn't want her anymore, who knew how she would react?
Meng Jiaen is also a poor little thing. If we really want to draw a line between us, won’t she cry to death?
Xia Siyin...

Without him, I dare not enter the elevator. I suffer from severe social anxiety. A part of my soul is forever trapped in the pain of my childhood, unable to break free.

How would she live without him?

It doesn’t seem to work.

Zhong Yun thought about it over and over again, feeling extremely annoyed. He thought that he might as well just confront them directly and let them make their own choice.

He covered his head with the quilt, turned over, and stopped thinking about the headache problem.

Soon, he fell into a deep sleep.

……

The next morning, Zhong Yun woke up to the sound of his cell phone alarm. He stretched, got up, folded the quilt, turned off the air conditioner, and went into the bathroom.

After using the toilet, he opened the bathroom door and prepared to wash up when he heard footsteps outside.

Ruan Xi stood at the door and greeted him, "Good morning."

"Morning, you need to go to the bathroom?"

"No, I'm brushing my teeth." She said, walked to his side, took the toothbrush and cup, and planned to wash with him.

"Oh."

Zhong Yun looked at her and it didn't seem like she had just woken up. She was wearing pajamas and had her bangs pinned on top of her head with a hairband, revealing her smooth forehead, which made her look a little more lovely than usual.

At this time, Zhang Yuzhen in the room seemed to hear the noise, came out of the room, came to the bathroom door, and saw two people crowded in front of the sink brushing their teeth. She couldn't help but be stunned.

That feeling comes again.

In an instant, she got goosebumps.

She said nothing and walked away silently.

Zhong Yun turned his head subconsciously. He felt a chill on his back just now, but when he looked again, there was nothing. He thought it was an illusion and continued brushing his teeth.

After brushing your teeth, you don’t even need a towel. Just scoop up some water with your hands and rub it vigorously on your face a few times.

Ruan Xi picked up a facial cleanser and applied it on her face.

Zhong Yun came out of the bathroom and saw that the door of the room was still closed. He felt a little strange. He clearly heard the door open just now, so why didn't he see anyone coming out?
He warmed up in the living room.

After Ruan Xi came out of the bathroom, Zhong Yun went in, changed into sportswear, and took Ruan Xi out for a morning run.

……

As soon as they left, Zhang Yuzhen's door finally opened. She went to Ruan Xi's room and saw that there was indeed no one there. The two of them had gone out together.

She became more certain of a certain idea in her mind and sighed inwardly, what a sin it was.

She knew that her son was quite popular among girls when he was in school, but she didn't expect that he is more popular now than before.

It’s okay for just one Meng Jiaen.

There is also a Mr. Xia.

Now, there is one more Ruan Xi.

When did my son become so fickle?

She firmly believed that it takes two to tango. How could a girl who was so beautiful and had such excellent conditions fall in love with him for no reason?

He must have taken the initiative to seduce her!
……

More than an hour later, Zhong Yun came back sweating all over. Ruan Xi followed behind him, but she was not sweating much and was holding a kettle in her hand.

"Come over for breakfast."

Zhang Yuzhen cooked porridge, fried eggs, and served a plate of pickles she brought from home.

Zhong Yun sat down and started eating, Ruan Xi sat next to him.

Zhang Yuzhen also sat down to eat together, and secretly observed that Ruan Xi's attention was always on her son, but it was not very noticeable.
She sighed inwardly.

It seems that my guess was correct.

Why didn’t you see it earlier?

No wonder my son insisted on moving into someone else’s house.

It turns out they have this kind of relationship.

How did my son become like this?
Ruan Xi is a classmate of his niece, how could he do such a thing to her?
That's really too much.

"Mom, what's wrong?"

Zhong Yun noticed that there was something strange about the way his mother looked at him, which was cold and chilly, so he asked.

Zhang Yuzhen suddenly became angry, "Don't call me mom, I'm not your mom."
