Chapter 93 As You Are

The hemp rope had no elasticity, so many skipping rope techniques could not be used. Tang Wan jumped once and then stopped, walked to the steps and sat down.

"Come."

She called out, and Xia An was about to come over happily.

Then Cola jumped off the table with a meow.

He stretched out his two front paws, stretched himself, and walked gracefully to Tang Wan's side, squatting on the eaves about one meter away from her.

Xia An scratched his head and sat on the other side of Tang Wan.

The sunset glow transitions from orange to purple, which is very beautiful.

The wind blew gently, bringing the noise from the playground.

Tang Wan looked through the telescope for a while, then handed over the small but heavy telescope.

"He's introducing the company, take a look."

Xia An took it and looked at it. Liu Youwei was standing on the stage, muttering something without a script. She couldn't hear clearly, but she could tell from his expression that he was okay and not too nervous.

Shifting the viewing angle, I saw that behind the big screen was a simple backstage where students preparing to perform on stage were putting on their makeup, while others were still rehearsing.

A three-layer electronic keyboard replaced the piano, and Le Ning, wearing a plain white dress, stood in a corner in a daze.

Zuo You hasn't arrived at the scene yet.

Putting down the telescope, Xia An turned his head.

Tang Wan held her cheek and tilted her head to look at him, revealing a faint smile.

Xia An asked, "Is it cold?"

Tang Wan was wearing a gray sports sweatshirt jacket with the chest open, and underneath was a white T-shirt with a 3D Bugs Bunny print on the chest.

Shaking her head, Tang Wan looked up at the sky.

"Have you been worried about me all day?"

"Ah."

Xia An moved his butt towards her and pressed close to her.

Tang Wan didn't dodge and let him gently put his arm around her waist. After hearing him breathe a sigh of relief, Tang Wan laughed out loud.

"Tell me, if two people are destined to have no future, why would they meet?"

Hearing this, Xia An shook his head and said, "It's not that there is no result, it's just that you don't like or are not satisfied with the temporary result."

For most people in love, there is actually no difference between growing old together and parting ways, the only difference is the length of time they stay together.

The process is often the result.

But Xia An didn't want that, didn't want to be like the majority.

He said: "Besides, is this the result now? I don't think so. We still have a long way to go."

Tang Wan said, "I cried so hard last night. Did you feel bad for me?"

“It hurts just thinking about it.”

Xia An tightened his grip, and Tang Wan automatically put her head on his shoulder.

"Su Yi said I was a failure," Tang Wan murmured. "She said that if a 25-year-old girl still cries frequently because of love affairs, it means that her life is relatively smooth and her health should be good..."

"..."

How rude! How rational a woman must be to say such words?

Xia An said, "It's my fault."

Most relationships that can be maintained stably over the long term are not based on strong love or a lot of effort.

Instead, there is less attack, less confrontation, less forcing, and more acceptance and permission.

Allow the other person to cry and make trouble.

Love is a kind of wisdom, not cleverness. Xia An can clearly see the pain in Tang Wan's heart.

He really felt distressed.

This is a girl who has no one to rely on except him.

Tang Wan asked, "Do you want to apologize?"

Xia An nodded: "I apologize, I was wrong, I shouldn't have bullied you."

Tang Wan pouted and waved at Kele: "Koke, help me bite him."

Xia An leaned over and saw Kela lying there comfortably with his tail wagging. After hearing Tang Wan's greeting, he just glanced over here and then turned to look at the small playground.

The first show has begun on the stage.

As expected, poetry recitation.

Our youth is flying freely and our youth is in its prime.

Oh, university, white pagoda, green lake and swaying willows.

University...

Tang Wan said, "Cola doesn't help me. No one will help me."

Xia An's heart twitched a few times as he stroked Tang Wan's slender and soft waist.

"Xia An, I don't know why, but I always have this mysterious feeling, as if we were never on the same path from the very beginning. But... after meeting you, I really want to go with you."

She tilted her head to stare at him and asked, "Is that so?"

"of course not."

Xia An simply shook his head and denied it.

After thinking for a moment, he pointed to the dense crowd on the playground.

"Can you try to imagine what their future will be like?"

Tang Wan didn't quite understand and shook her head.

Xia An said, "I can probably imagine that. Ninety-nine percent of them will find love in the next four years. Four years later, ninety-nine percent of these relationships will not survive and will be left behind within the school gates forever."

"They will while away their days in distant office buildings, encountering love again and again.

“Finally, with the choice of a city, a person will be chosen.

"For the rest of their lives, the love between that person and this person will be mixed with trivialities and oil, salt, sauce and vinegar to create a different flavor."

Xia An locked eyes with Tang Wan, resisting the urge to kiss those sparkling eyes. He continued, "This isn't tragic. Even a mess of feathers can be made into a duster, and the daily necessities of life have their own unique flavors. Everyone will happily live on."

He couldn't control himself anymore, leaned forward and kissed Tang Wan's forehead.

"But we won't, I'm sure of that. Our future is going to be very, very exciting.

“As I said, we still have a long way to go.

“Just give it a try. Even if things don’t go your way, wait until you reach the finish line before crying.”

Cry at the end...

Tang Wan smiled.

"Why are you so overbearing? If I don't agree, will you really drive away all the men around me?"

Xia An smiled and nodded, took out his cell phone, opened the email and handed it to Tang Wan.

Tang Wan's English was excellent, and she knew what it was after just a few glances.

"That domain name?" She frowned in surprise.

Xia An nodded and said, "The transaction price will be about one or two million less. Then I will set up a joint venture with the other party to receive the funds. I will not spend it recklessly. I will expand the online promotion of the megaphone and strive to obtain a larger venture capital within a year."

“At the same time, expand the candy supermarket.

"In the process, I will do everything I can to swallow up the Tang Group."

Touching Tang Wan's face, he said, "It will still have the surname Tang, but it won't be the Tang of Tang Tianxing anymore."

The second program is a vigorous song and dance, "Excited Dance".

Six freshman girls from the dance department wore jackets of different styles, showing off their slim waists and bellies of the same style, and danced to the deafening cheers from the audience.

Just by looking at the sound system and stage design, Xia An knew that the school did not cheat her of her sponsorship fee.

The colorful lights are quite impressive.

A high school student made hundreds of millions during the summer vacation. Although it was a speculative lottery, it was still astonishing enough.

What's more, Tang Wan saw with her own eyes how calm Xia An was after acquiring wealth, and she believed from the bottom of her heart how great Xia An's future would be.

Combined with Zhang Chunmin's narration this time, she knew that Xia An was really plotting against the Tang Group.

To some extent, she is simple, but she is definitely not a naive girl who knows nothing about the world. She understands the importance of material foundation to life better than most people.

It was just that he instinctively didn't want to mix his feelings with Xia An with interests.

She said, "I am an unwanted child."

Xia An wanted to speak after hearing this, but Tang Wan shook her head and continued, "My situation may be more unusual, but it's true. Su Yi told me that women are homeless when they grow up."

Xia An nodded in agreement.

Tang Wan gazed at the clouds in the west and told him, "I told Su Yi that I have no worries, so wherever my heart leads me, I can go with confidence and a clear conscience.

“I can like anything I like.

“If you don’t like something, you can just throw it away.

“What’s fair is that the gains and losses are mutual.

"Xia An, I think I'm a very good girl."

Xia An held her hand and said, "You are."

Tang Wan looked at him with a faint smile.

"I've been thinking about what you said to Le Ning all day."

Xia An knew what it was and felt a little embarrassed.

Tang Wan sighed and said, "Love is against human nature, and there is some truth to that.

"The attraction between the two sexes is driven by physiological instincts, controlled by hormones, and generates a strong possessive desire.

“Both men and women want to get the greatest satisfaction from each other. The beginning of love is to get, it is selfish.

“True love, on the other hand, is about wanting to see the other person do well and being willing to risk one’s life to satisfy the other person’s preferences.

“The essence of human nature is selfish, so you say that is anti-human.

"I believe it."

Xia An said: "Love is what you are, not what I want you to be."

Tang Wan asked, "Can you do it?"

Xia An shook his head and said, "I can't do that. I'm very greedy."

His frankness made Tang Wan laugh.

"Yes, you're too greedy." Tang Wan said quietly, "The fact that she came to me on her own initiative and said so much proves that she's accepted your point of view."

She held Xia An's hand and chuckled, "Xia An, you want to tame us, right?"

Xia An pursed her lips in disappointment, nodded, and said, "It's shameful and selfish, but it's true. I can't bear it."

What if I have to give it up?
He was already prepared to answer the question Tang Wan was most likely to ask.

But Tang Wan didn't ask.

A large flock of pigeons flew over the two people's heads, circled half of the campus with the sound of pigeon whistles, and finally returned to the roof of a tall building.

Like a weary bird returning to its nest, Tang Wan took his arm and gently pressed her cheek against his.

"Please support me, Xia An."

"..."

Xia An was stunned.

Le Ning’s show is the fourth one.

Three young men helped her carry the electronic keyboard onto the stage.

"The following is a performance of "Fairy Tale" by Le Ning, a freshman in the Music Theory Department. Please enjoy."

After the host announced the show, the whole audience fell silent for the first time.

Le Ning and Xia An made a great name for themselves during the entire military training period.

It's simple. He opened a small shop in anger, smashed the vice-president of the student union in anger, and spent a lot of money to sponsor a crappy evening party just to go on stage.

This man and woman are both more fond of showing off than the other.

Well, come on, I want to hear how you sing - that's what most people think.

But when Le Ning, dressed in a white gauze dress, appeared on stage like a princess, most of the males immediately changed their minds.

What we mean is that people who are high-profile have the capital to be high-profile.

Le Ning didn't say anything before starting the conversation. She just walked to the piano and sat down calmly.

The prelude sounded, and she raised her hand and pressed the keys.

It’s so beautiful—the freshmen exclaimed with heartfelt admiration.

Qi Buyang in the crowd clicked his tongue twice. Lu Yao, with his crutch across his leg, asked, "Where's the big black guy?"

Li Xiaoru said: "He just left, carrying a loud speaker."

There was an open space on the left side of the eight-meter stage. Zuo You changed into her performance clothes and walked over to watch the performance.

It was hard for her to reconcile Le Ning on the stage with the little girl in school uniform in her memory.

The love rival has grown up.

Zuo You tilted his head and looked for Xia An in the crowd.

It was getting dark and I searched for a long time but couldn't find it.

Le Ning started singing, and her first voice was not very stable, but she got into the groove after singing the third sentence.

Her voice was sweet, not cloying, and perhaps a little hoarse from last night's hangover.

The female version of "Fairy Tale" is sung with a different kind of heart-wrenching beauty.

The last word is finished, but the fingers never stop moving.

The students in the front row and the crowd on the sidelines heard a shrill shout at the same time.

Le Ning also heard it and suddenly frowned.

When Zuo You heard this, he was stunned at first, then he held his forehead and smiled bitterly.

[Le Ning Le Ning, so nice to hear…]

[Le Ning Le Ning, so nice to hear…]

Xia An's voice came out of the loudspeaker, dull yet sharp.

Le Ning bit her lip and played the last note, then stood up and bowed. When she looked up, a big black man rushed towards her.

Lu Fei held a loud speaker in one hand and a bouquet in the other, and handed them out at the same time.

Then he naively put away his loud speaker and whispered to Le Ning, "Xia An picked these flowers herself."

Basically after every show, someone arranged by the student union would come on stage to present flowers.

Le Ning didn't have the time or mood to ask anything, so he just thanked Lu Fei and another student union officer and walked down the stage.

at this time.

——Pong
——Puff puff puff
Amid the students' surprised cheers, Le Ning looked up in confusion.

The fireworks suddenly ignited, colorful.

Lu Fei whispered to Le Ning, "He prepared this for you."

The colorful night sky was reflected in Le Ning's eyes as she looked up.

Pursing her lips, she whispered to herself, "I'm afraid this won't be the only one."

The first row of tables and chairs.

The vice president and the director of the student affairs office looked at Liu Youwei in surprise.

Liu Youwei smiled awkwardly: "Let's play a few dozen shots to warm up the atmosphere first, there will be more later."

Le Ning walked down the stage from the left, passing by Xiao Youzi who was also looking up and smiling.

Zuo You said, "You sing really beautifully."

Le Ning stopped and looked at Zuo You, who was wearing a bright red ancient costume.

"He's not in now."

Zuo You shook her head and smiled: "He must be here."

……

On the rooftop.

Thirty-six huge fireworks were also blooming in Tang Wan's eyes.

She gently raised her hand and stretched it towards the sky.

“It looks really nice from here. It feels really close.”

Cola was so frightened by the explosion that he jumped down the stairs and hid in the corner.

Tang Wan looked at Xia An and smiled faintly.

The fireworks are very close, and so are you, but I can't touch them. It's like a gift prepared by God for me, which is always coming but never arrives.

"Rich bad boy, you can support me.

“If I can’t marry you, I’ll just be your lover.

“Keep me in a cage and protect me until you no longer need me, then open the cage.

"You bet I will accept your anti-humanity theory, and I bet you will eventually abandon me and leave.

"Then let's fall in love during this process, like two gamblers."

Xia An had a lot to say, such as telling Tang Wan that she was thinking too simply.

If you love someone to the point of wanting to love them, you will only want to love them more and more.

For example, if a man and a woman go to the gambling table, the one who loses everything in the end is definitely the woman.

For example, who said you can’t marry me?

But he didn't say anything. With Tang Wan's little daughter's mind overflowing with worry, nothing he said would make much sense.

There are too many joints between them.

Business and money are not worth mentioning.

The love that comes with nothing, and the anchor of reality after rebirth.

The great cause and effect are entangled in the intricate threads of emotion and cannot be separated.

Rebirth can change the relationships with many people around you and resolve the regrets of the previous life in advance.

But what about this life?

Xia An hugged Tang Wan and said deeply, "You make me feel like I'm actually living in this world."

Tang Wan really didn't understand what he said, but she could feel his true emotions from his tightly wrapped arms.

The same lonely person.

Rubbing his face, Tang Wan said, "Yeah."

……

With their hands tightly clasped, they looked down at the noisy light show of the human world in the night sky.

Until the finale begins.

Tang Wan picked up the telescope and handed it to Xia An, speaking in a teasing tone and blinking her eyes playfully.

"Zuoyou wants to dance."
-

The long sleeves flutter and the figure is graceful.

The lights are mainly red, orange and yellow, and the large LED screen plays a rotating ancient style special effects background.

The four dancers are unprofessional, which further highlights Zuo You's ability.

Her classical dance is worthy of awards in the professional category.

Tap on tiptoe and swirl sleeves.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Zuo You danced and flew into the sky.

The flame makeup between the eyebrows ignites the hearts of all young people.

Like Le Ning, fireworks were launched into the sky at the same moment the accompaniment ended.

Little Youzi maintained the posture of lying on the ground and looked up.

All the dazzling fireworks were collected into those bright crescent eyes.

Lu Fei bent down and ran to the front of the stage, and with a bang, he lifted the loud speaker to Zuo You's side.

[Little pomelo is the most beautiful, little pomelo is the best, come one more, come one more]

Zuo You pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes showing both joy and anger.

Xia An's stupid voice was only heard by a few people nearby.

Liu Youwei in the first row was always paying attention to the person performing the finale.

Because this is one of the two programs that the boss asked us to do in advance.

Previously it was Le Ning, now it is Zuo You... the significance of setting off fireworks at the right time is self-evident.

In other words, there may be two boss ladies?
But where is the boss?

Why did you find two loud speakers to show your support?
This is not nice.

……

Su Yi, who likes to act silly and is tired of drawing drawings, came to the playground early.

Always keep a bag of melon seeds, a bag of potato chips, and a thermos of water on hand.

She sat by the flower bed at the edge of the playground for two hours.

I saw the legendary Zuo You.

Well, she is very beautiful, a bit like Tang Wan.

I saw Le Ning. She sings beautifully and can play the piano? Didn't they say she plays the flute? Amazing.

Where is Tang Wan?
What about Xia An?
The party is over, where are they?
After picking up the garbage, Su Yi stood up, patted his butt, and like everyone else, looked up at the magnificent fireworks show.

At this moment, she seemed to hear a loud shout coming from the rooftop behind her, not knowing whether it was an auditory hallucination or what.

"Ms. Tang Wan, I love you the most!"
