Chapter 2277 Who Doesn't Understand Love
A Fei's almost ruthless calmness made Ling Ying stupefied for a moment.
It felt familiar.
And the phrase "I'm not in love with you"...so familiar again.
Like a stone falling into a calm lake, causing countless ripples, memories flooded towards Ling Ying layer upon layer.
She stared blankly ahead, remembering how she felt the last time she heard this sentence.
She was so angry and sad that day that her heart almost broke.
It was the summer vacation of the freshman year of high school, and Qiao Qingze came to her home to help her with her homework, and she set it at 500 yuan per hour. Anyway, her father was rich, and Qiao Qingze's family conditions were not good.
Qiao Qingze has been tutoring her since she was in junior high school, which belongs to work-study program.
And when she was in her first year of high school, Qiao Qingze had already entered college, and she raised the class fee from [-] yuan to [-] yuan.
Originally, she wanted to give more tutoring fees, but Qiao Qingze refused to accept the exorbitant hourly salary, so the two negotiated and settled on five hundred an hour.
That was also the last period of extravagance in her family, because not long after, her father was imprisoned and his assets were liquidated, and the "three-year difficult period" between her and her mother began...
Of course, in that summer vacation, she didn't know her future destiny, and she didn't have any plans for the future. At that time, she felt sleepy when she read a book, and her academic performance was always hovering in the bottom ten.
And every time she sent out the report card, Qiao Qingze couldn't help pressing his eyebrows after reading it, saying that if you don't want your parents to fire me, you should score more in the test, so that you can get out of the bottom ten.
But she said indifferently, it doesn't matter, her father is busy with work, and mother is busy with shopping and partying, and doesn't care about her at all. As long as she goes to school on time every day and doesn't cause trouble, they are already very happy.
In such a free-ranging family environment, she was only interested in three things most of the time, smug beauty, reading romance novels, and thinking about Qiao Qingze.
She has had a crush on Qiao Qingze since junior high school.
At that time, she was in the junior high school and he was in the high school. Qiao Qingze had good grades and was the first in the grade every time he took the exams. Moreover, he was not the type to study hard. He was very active in various activities and was a famous figure in the whole school.
In a sports meeting, he can win several championships by himself, and there are various parties, debates, physics competitions, mathematics competitions, large and small trophies and certificates can fill an entire bookcase.
The key is that he is handsome, and many girls have written love letters to him.
Ling Ying also wrote that she wanted to throw it into the mailbox, but ended up throwing it into the trash can.
Qiao Qingze is too good, but she is not ordinary bad, he can't like her as a scumbag, he is afraid that once he confesses his love, Qiao Qingze won't help her with her homework.
That day, after Qiao Qingze finished explaining the questions to her, she did her test papers, while he leaned on the head of her single bed and read his professional books.
However, after Ling Ying did a few questions, she couldn't open her eyelids and fell asleep lying on the table. When she opened her eyes again, she found that Qiao Qingze was looking at her with deep eyes. I don't know how long he had been looking at her .
Her heart was pounding, then Qiao Qingze looked away, and continued to read with her head down, as if nothing had happened just now.
But she grabbed his gaze just now and refused to let go, leaned in front of him, and asked him with a smile: "Brother Qingze, why are you looking at me like that, are you in love with me?"
He blushed, squinted at her, pushed her forehead with his fingers, and pushed her away.
"A kid who knows what love is."
"I'm not a kid, I know what love is!"
The look that she accidentally caught also gave her great courage.
She firmly believed that Qiao Qingze must like her.
Only when you like someone can you look at them so affectionately.
The more he thought about it, the more emotional he felt, and he had to force Qiao Qingze to admit it.
So she got on the bed boldly, and sat on Qiao Qingze's lap, "Then why are you blushing and still not daring to look at me?"
He didn't answer her question directly, but said to her in a cold voice: "Go back and sit down."
"No, if you don't admit it, I won't leave."
Her mother's voice came from outside the door, asking if they wanted some fruit.
Ling Ying didn't answer, but hugged Qiao Qingze's neck instead.
The sound of mother's footsteps approached the door of the study.
Qiao Qingze wanted to push her away, but she was unwilling, "If you don't answer me, I won't let go. Do you want my mother to see us like this?"
"I'm not in love with you."
Ling Ying's eyes were red, "You're lying! You were peeping at me when I was sleeping, and now I'm sitting on your lap, you obviously...you want me..."
"Ling Ying." He interrupted her severely.
Her tears fell, she knew that she had gone too far, and she also knew that as a girl, she should not behave like this, let alone say such words, but she just wanted to force him to tell the truth.
She asked, "You're already like this, don't you admit it?"
Qiao Qingze's tone softened a little, and he said helplessly: "It's just a physical instinct, all men are like this, it doesn't matter whether you love it or not. Can you sit back now?"
Before her mother opened the door and came in, she finally returned to her chair and lay down on the test paper, but tears blurred her vision and dripped on the test paper.
She realized that Qiao Qingze was already a grown man, while she was still a child who didn't even understand physical knowledge.
She even thought that Qiao Qingze might have reacted like this to other women.
As for that look just now, maybe she was just being sentimental.
She was ashamed and devastated.
After her mother handed the fruit to Qiao Qingze and closed the door for them again, Ling Ying said to Qiao Qingze, "It's good that you didn't fall in love with me, I don't love you anyway."
In this way, she hid her true feelings and never did anything outrageous to Qiao Qingze again. She would let him leave after he finished tutoring his homework.
She firmly believed that Qiao Qingze didn't love her because she wasn't good enough.
So from then on, she seemed to be a different person, burned all the idle books, and started to study hard. She wanted to become a girl worthy of him, and then confessed to him.
Even if the family suffered a change, she did not give up her studies, but worked harder.
Later, she was finally admitted to his university, and started to work part-time for living expenses. She almost turned herself into another Qiao Qingze, but he was always better and worked harder.
After she went to university, he went straight to his master's and doctoral studies...
It seems that I can never catch up with his footsteps.
She realized that if this continues, she will never have a chance to confess.
So Ling Ying set a goal for herself, and when she was admitted to graduate school, she would confess her love.
On the day when the postgraduate examination results were announced, she knew she should be able to pass the examination, but she was still very nervous when checking the results.
After checking the results, she let out a long sigh of relief, and immediately called Qiao Qingze.
That was their last call...
