1980s: I was reborn after being scumbag to death

Chapter 86: So what if I’m a little selfish?

Meng Shulan just jumped out and started to persuade others.

Jiang Xiuzhen was startled. She turned around and looked at Meng Shulan carefully. She asked, "Who are you?"

Meng Shulan: "I'm from the same hometown as Gu Hansong."

Jiang Xiuzhen pursed her lips, glanced at Meng Shulan and said, "Why, you like him too?"

This girl is quite generous. She doesn't hide her admiration at all and doesn't show any shyness at all.

What do you like?

Meng Shulan quickly denied it, "What nonsense are you talking about? We are just friends."

Jiang Xiuzhen continued to pout, "You denied it so quickly, maybe you like him and don't know it."

Meng Shulan: “…”

Why do I suddenly feel guilty?

But she soon calmed down.

Why should you feel guilty? It's normal to like someone like Gu Hansong. It would be blind to dislike him.

But liking someone is one thing, but whether to develop the relationship or get it is another matter.

Meng Shulan: "Stop talking about me, let's talk about you."

She stood up to persuade this person, not to discuss whether he liked it or not.

Jiang Xiuzhen said unkindly, "What can I say? Why do you want to meddle in other people's business?"

The tone of his voice shows that he is a bold and unyielding person.

No wonder as a girl, she has such courage to actively pursue the person she likes. Her personality is indeed different from that of ordinary people.

But Gu Hansong is not ordinary either.

Meng Shulan: "You are from Shuangxi Village, right? You have good taste to like him."

Jiang Xiuzhen snorted, "That's for sure."

How could the man she likes be bad?

Meng Shulan smiled. "But I still advise you to give up as soon as possible. Gu Hansong really has no interest in these things. He's not interested in them, and he has no plans to date or get married in the short term. If you continue to pester him like this, it will only cause him trouble."

In her previous life, Meng Shulan devoted herself to books, so she heard the gossip about Gu Hansong and this girl. It is conceivable that the incident was actually not a small one.

Although it is not clear what they are exactly, it has definitely caused a sensation.

Jiang Xiuzhen looked at Meng Shulan with amusement, "You seem to know him very well?"

Meng Shulan: "I guess so. We are neighbors, just separated by a wall."

Neighbor?

Jiang Xiuzhen looked at Meng Shulan warily. "Hearing you say that, it seems like you've expressed your feelings to him, just like me, and were rejected."

Express your feelings?

Meng Shulan thought about what happened in the morning and was speechless for a moment.

But what was there to reject? To be honest, I was the one who rejected him.

It’s not a big deal, it’s just that neither side had this intention, and it led to a misunderstanding for a while.

Meng Shulan: "What are you thinking? It's not what you said."

Jiang Xiuzhen sneered, "Since there is nothing, you can just read the gossip. Why are you coming here to persuade me?"

Meng Shulan: “…”

This person has such a strong sense of self that he simply can't listen to what others say.

Meng Shulan felt a little regretful. Perhaps she shouldn't have stood up like this. Instead of persuading the person, she caused misunderstandings, making it difficult to explain.

But when she thought about the troubles she would bring to Gu Hansong in the future, she didn't want to be an outsider watching the fun from the sidelines. Meng Shulan: "In short, he won't be dating or getting married in the short term. It's okay if you like him, it's your freedom, but I hope you won't be extreme. Relationships are two-way. If he really doesn't need it, don't get entangled, otherwise he will feel troubled, or be attacked by rumors, which will be bad.

If you really like him, you should want him to be happy, right?
If your love can't produce such an effect, isn't it just a burden?"

Meng Shulan said something philosophical.

Jiang Xiuzhen looked at her steadily, then nodded and said, "You have a point. He also told me before that love is a two-way thing and can't be started unilaterally. That's not love, it's selfishness."

But……"

Jiang Xiuzhen glanced at Meng Shulan and changed the subject, "It's not easy to meet someone you like in your life. So what if you're a little selfish? If you follow so many rules and the man you like marries another woman, it will be heartbreaking for nothing. It's better to try your best to win him over. Who knows, maybe he will marry you.

After all, we only have a few decades to live, which is neither long nor short. Youth is only a few years long. If you miss it, it will be your whole life. There is no turning back. Why should you be so wronged? Don’t you agree?

Jiang Xiuzhen's big eyes are as clear as a lake.

Meng Shulan was shocked and unable to refute for a moment.

What she said was true.

Although this person is very strong, her love for Gu Hansong is unquestionable.

Meng Shulan didn't know what to say. She felt that this was a deadlock, with each of them at the top of the scale and unable to be untied.

Seeing her stunned, Jiang Xiuzhen chuckled and continued, "Of course, to avoid having any rivals, I hope you stick to your inner rules. That's your freedom. But please don't try to persuade me. Everyone has their own beliefs. I have mine, you have yours. Don't impose them on each other."

Jiang Xiuzhen looked at Meng Shulan again and left.

Meng Shulan opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything.

I have to say that this girl is quite thoughtful and speaks very well.

I originally wanted to persuade her, but in the end I was stumped by someone's question.

Yes, life is short, with only a few decades left, and disposable time is limited. Sometimes being too disciplined can be frustrating.

Meng Shulan sighed.

I don’t know if it’s because I took Jiang Xiuzhen’s words to heart, but I always feel a little blocked in my heart.

But she didn't think too much about it. The most important thing was to get her business done, so she turned and went to the Women's Federation office, but there was no one inside and the door was locked.

Is this, going out to do something?

Meng Shulan had no choice but to turn around and go back to school.

Her figure had just disappeared on the street when Ye Pingshun slowly came out from the corner outside the grain station, driving a donkey cart.

Ye Pingshun was not alone. Ye Ran was sitting in the back of the car with a schoolbag on her back and a bag of grain in her hand.

The father and daughter were obviously not passing by, and it was unknown how long they had been squatting there, or what they had seen or heard.

On the other side, Meng Shulan met Gu Hansong again on the way back to school.

He was standing outside the state-owned hotel, apparently waiting for someone.

Meng Shulan walked over when she saw him.

"Aren't you going home yet?" she asked.

Gu Hansong: "Ready."

Meng Shulan: "Did you see my dad and sister this morning? I don't know if things went smoothly."

Gu Hansong looked at her and asked, "Want to know?"

Meng Shulan: "Of course!" This person can be really frustrating sometimes, as he always looks mysterious.

Gu Hansong: "Let's go in and have something to eat."

"Huh? Oh."
