Unscientific Love

The image of his senior, Bingmei, flashed through his mind. Looking at the sweet appearance of the girl in front of him, Ao Ye calmly spoke.

"No, brother, please don't say that. If you liked Ling Ye, you would have been with her long ago. Actually, the many nights Ling Ye spent with you are enough for her to cherish for a lifetime. Besides, if we are good friends, you can come to me anytime. But if you decide to disregard Ling Ye's situation and tell her the truth, then we may never see each other again. Our relationship is already very good, and Ling Ye is already very content, okay?"

"I'm worried."

Ao Ye spoke sharply.

His woman and unborn child are abroad, while he's back home. How can he feel at ease?

“There’s nothing to worry about. Ling Ye is a very virtuous and capable girl. She will definitely raise the little one well. I will take good care of our child. Brother, you should be with Senior Sister Yan’er. She is your favorite. I can feel it.”

"Perhaps."

Ao Ye recalled the scene before he left, when he refused his senior's invitation and went to this small town with Sister Bibi.

Senior, you must be wondering too.

"No, perhaps. Besides, you clearly love Senior Lin Yan'er. If you force yourself to be with me, not only will you not be truly happy, but it will also be very unfair to me. I don't want to restrict you. If restricting you could bring me love, I would be willing to do it. However, feelings are the most difficult thing to restrict. I want to see you happy and joyful. So, brother, can you understand me?"

"Brother~"

The girl in front of him suddenly spoke in a coquettish voice, smiling sweetly at him.

"This is our secret and our agreement, okay?"

"I……"

"It's settled then, brother, you have to keep your word."

At that moment, a beautiful woman in a trench coat and high heels was walking towards them from not far away.

But Ao Ye wasn't flustered at all. Instead, he turned around and asked, "So how do you plan to tell Sister Bibi about the child?"

"Of course I have my own way, Ao Ye. My sister is coming soon. Don't forget our promise, okay?"

"Brother, brother!"

Ling Ye pursed her lips, but out of the corner of her eye, she was judging the time and distance of the beautiful woman's arrival.

"Please, our relationship is already very good. Lingye will always love you."

Chapter 548 Exploring Love

"After searching for so long, I found you here."

The beautiful woman walked over with an elegant, poetic grace, her high heels clicking. Ling Ye, whose face was originally damp, took out her lipstick and makeup mirror to touch up her makeup. Her cheekbones rose, revealing eight white and beautiful teeth, and she gave a sweet smile.

"It's a local custom, so it inevitably reminds me of weddings back home. My landlady's brother married a woman much older than him. You see, even if some people don't give them their blessings, they have each other in their eyes and are still incredibly happy. So, as long as you have each other in your heart, ignore others, and be the master of your own life, that's the essence of happiness. Ao Ye, do you agree?"

Ling Ye looked at herself, breathing in the cool air. Ao Ye understood what she meant and nodded.

However, the question that lingered in Ao Ye's mind was that, firstly, Ling Ye actually wanted to be with Ao Ye, but due to the presence of her senior, she bravely chose to live alone.

Secondly, Ling Ye has her own values. She believes that it would be unfair to her if Ao Ye could not be wholeheartedly with her. She cannot tolerate someone who loves others loving her in return.

Long time no see, Ling Ye's words were filled with philosophical insights.

Ao Ye admitted that he was resonated with her clear-headed words.

"Are you discussing love?"

Wang Bi deliberately positioned herself very close to Ao Ye, displaying her captivating figure and beauty, yet she did not look at Ao Ye.

"Yes, love is an elusive subject."

Seeing that the others seemed interested, Ling Ye also became quite enthusiastic.

She adjusted her emotions much faster than ever before, which made Ao Ye very pleased.

"I was reading last night and had some insights."

Wang Bi recounted the events of yesterday when she parted ways with the two men.

Wang Bi originally wanted to share a room with Ling Ye, but Ling Ye said that there was nothing going on at the moment and that she needed to rest quietly at night, so she declined her request.

Later, Wang Bi wanted to sleep with Ao Ye, but Ao Ye refused, so she could only read the book in a huff.

"Human desires, regardless of gender, all stem from a disillusionment. Therefore, the greatest enjoyment lies in the process of liking or being infatuated with someone, the tug-of-war between the two of you. Once you get what you want, you'll realize it's not all that great after all. Xiaoye, you're a top student at Nanjing University, do you agree?"

The beautiful woman's voice, as melodious as a gentle murmur, subtly touched Ao Ye's arm.

"The book says that reality and imagination are always very different. Recently, I read The Three-Body Problem, and the argument is that the sun acts as a microwave amplifier, which will transmit signals to a cosmic scale with thousands of times the effect. But how can human fantasy be any different? Because fantasy imagines the other person to be perfect, but in reality, everyone is just an ordinary person. It's just that some people are good at dressing themselves up and studying a professional field of knowledge, which will make people admire and appreciate them. When fantasy recedes and approaches reality, whether you are surprised or disappointed determines whether you will continue to act at that moment."

"So, Ao Ye, you agree with what Wang Bi said?"

"I'm an optimist. There may be disillusionment in a relationship, but true happiness is staying together."

"The most romantic and beautiful part is the pistil. I think I've figured it out. Since the feelings between men and women are irreversible disillusionment, maintaining a distance from traditional values ​​and engaging in tender and ambiguous relationships might exist forever. Just thinking about such a relationship makes me incredibly happy every morning."

Compared to yesterday's gloom, the appearance of the beautiful woman today was a pleasant surprise.

"One should not be too greedy."

"Otherwise, the balance will be lost. The spiritual contract and checks and balances between people are the way to make love between men and women last."

The two chatted back and forth, getting along very well.

But Ao Ye suddenly remembered that his senior had once told him that what you can't get is what you miss the most and long for the most.

"Indifference can conceal deep affection."

"I bother!"

She recalled how, when she was with her senior, they would get intimate, or after a long time apart, she would not be able to find her for several days. She would say this to herself.

At the time, he didn't quite understand, but now that he fully understood the root of her thoughts, Ao Ye immediately spat in disgust.

"The idea that indifference can conceal deep affection is just an excuse."

"Why should I be bound by these ideas? The more you care, the more you will be controlled by them. The most important thing in life is to be free and follow your heart."

It's clear now.

I almost let their words disturb my views on relationships.

However, right now, with Ling Ye and Wang Bi both seemingly enlightened and having found the path to happiness, it would be difficult to instill any further ideas in them.

The rest depends on each person's own life insights.

The current situation is that Ao Ye will stay here with Ling Ye for a few more days, and if possible, accompany her to give birth to the child.

As for the school, I may have to take a leave of absence this year.

However, as he was thinking about this, he remembered that the school had an exchange student program, and perhaps he could apply to come to the University of Oslo as an exchange student.

In this way, I can both take care of Ling Ye and continue my studies here as an exchange student.

Ao Ye thought this was a great idea.

"What if the person you love also loves someone else?"

These were originally the words the beautiful woman wanted to say to Ao Ye yesterday, words of questioning.

But after this meeting by the river, Wang Bi's thinking broadened considerably, and she felt that if she asked such a question, she was no different from any other woman.

She just wanted to maintain a normal, ambiguous, and playful relationship with her younger brother, Ao Ye, and she enjoyed that kind of relationship.

得到？

Hasn't she always been receiving?

As for this kid, if he wants to be with his beloved senior, then let them be together.

It seems that her senior also has a distant attitude towards him.

That's why he was so obsessed with her, and he felt he should be the same way.

Thinking about all this, the beautiful woman felt quite resentful. She invited Ao Ye and Ling Ye to visit an art museum and have coffee later that afternoon, mentioning a nice Instagram-worthy global landmark.

We can go experience it together.

But Lingye said she had to help her landlady in the afternoon. The landlady, a charming Norwegian housewife, treated her like family, and she treated her like family too, so she couldn't leave.

And I wish Ao Ye no burden on his heart. I am doing very well now and am not unhappy. Compared to forcing yourself to live with a man you don't love, which will bring you emotional and physical discomfort, it is better to be happy alone.

In addition, she also has to teach classes to the students here in the afternoon.

She was also worried about them.

The three of them therefore went their separate ways.

Chapter 549 No, you're mine! (Final Chapter: 1, please vote!)

In the afternoon, at the Oslo Art Museum, elegantly dressed men and women came and went, while inside the museum displayed a variety of stunning works of art depicting love.

One of the paintings depicts a man and a woman entwined, their fingers intertwined, gazing deeply into each other's eyes beneath the clear blue sea. Ao Ye and the beautiful woman, dressed in a trench coat over a high-society butterfly dress, admired the scene for a long time without stopping.

"What should I do? I want a painting like that too."

When Wang Bi, this beauty, was admiring the masterpiece, she was completely stunned and infatuated. Her fair fingers seemed to be touching the air as if threading silk, her eyes were hazy, and her fingers seemed to be caressing the outline of some man.

"This is the kind of love I long for."

The woman's gentle, murmuring voice sighed with emotion.

After seeing these paintings, Ao Ye suddenly recalled the mysterious hotel where he first checked into a room with his senior, where similar paintings appeared on both sides of the corridor.

However, even though time has passed, that painting of a couple entwined in a Nordic field still lingers in my mind.

When I first saw it, it was truly lifelike and vivid, making me marvel at the author's boldness and purity.

I didn't look at it closely at the time, but I was impressed by how bold the two of them were. Now, looking at it more closely, I realize that the gestures and movements of the men and women in these paintings are full of deep affection, as if they are each other's only soulmate.

But as he admired one painting after another, Ao Ye froze before one in the middle. His pupils dilated as he stared, his jaw practically dropping in astonishment. He had just recognized a painting that looked strangely familiar:

The painting depicts a shirtless boy, sweating profusely as if he's resting. He has clearly defined eight-pack abs and is leaning against a car. The key detail is that a stunningly beautiful face emerges from inside the car, waving and coldly scolding something.

That boy…

Isn't that boy me?!

That girl…

Isn't that girl a senior student?!
