Hey! Leave my ex-boyfriends alone!

Chapter 116: Season 16

Because his thoughts don't matter.

All Bai He cares about is whether he and Ji Ling are perfect and whether they have reached the height she wants them to reach, and he doesn't care what they think.

She didn't like listening to Ji You talking so much nonsense, so Bai He would control Ji You's speaking habits and ask Ji You to become a taciturn person.

In order to better control Ji You, Ji You is not even allowed to have ordinary friends.

Because in Bai He's view, those so-called friends are useless and may even lead her perfect son astray.

Ji You can only become friends with people chosen by Bai He, but those friends are also model children from wealthy families. They will only communicate and learn, and will not choose to confide in Ji You.

Because it is not necessary.

Ji You is perfect, like a god, not a human.

In front of others, he cannot even show the most genuine emotions, and can only appear in front of everyone in the image that Bai He is most satisfied with.

The perfect high mountain flower is the image that Bai He is most satisfied with.

Ji You seldom reveals his true self in front of others. Today is the first time. He hasn't talked so much to someone at once in a long time.

Will Xie Luo hate him?

Maybe.

Because the Ji You she liked shouldn't talk so much.

But for some reason, Ji You just wanted to show a little bit of his true self in front of Xie Luo.

Perhaps it was because he wanted to break the perfect self in Xie Luo's mind and add a little bit of his true self into it.

Maybe that would push people further and further away, but Ji You just wanted to do that.

Maybe... maybe she knows there is someone who will like and accept her as she is?

If not, that's okay.

Anyway, if even the mother doesn't like the real appearance of her child, it's normal for others to dislike it. It's not worth being sad about.

But you will always feel lost.

"I thought you wouldn't like to talk, because I heard from others that aloof college tycoons like you are stupid and don't like to deal with stupid people."

"Since you've said so much to me, it means I'm definitely not stupid. I'm happy."

Xie Luo smiled at Ji You with his lips curved, without showing any annoyance, and changed the subject with some jokes.

In addition to the contrast of liking furry things, Ji You also has the contrast of being a chatterbox.

Maybe he's not a chatterbox, but he's not as aloof as he looks.

But Xie Luo liked it more.

It feels like exploring treasure, discovering different sides of the person you like little by little.

Ji You:!!!

A hint of red appeared on the tips of the boy's ears, but his face remained serious, and even his initial expression did not change.

Xie Luo's smile was too sincere, and Ji You could hardly resist it.

But at the same time, a hint of joy also arose in his heart, like a candy that was so sweet that it made him soft.

"You're not stupid, you're a very good person."

Xie Luo regained his thoughts and took a step closer to him with the broom: "You asked me these questions and you care so much about my letters. Could it be that you agree with my pursuit?"

"?"

Ji You shook his head and glanced away. He felt bitter in his heart and was unable to answer this question.

Whether he agrees or not, these are not things he can decide.

If he really agreed, Xie Luo would be the next orange.

The choice was never his.

Ji You himself knows this matter best.

But he is now in adolescence and has been too repressed in the past. Even though he knows it is a wrong choice, it still has a fatal attraction to him.

For example, the kitten, for example, Xie Luo.

Xie Luo is not rich, but her soul is free and her future has many possibilities.

She is the freest wind, unrestrained in both soul and life.

But Ji You didn't, there were only two possibilities for his future.

Or die.

Either he becomes the person Bai He wants him to be, walks the path Bai He wants him to walk, and eventually becomes a perfect puppet, never escaping from his mother's clutches.

According to Bai He's plan, Ji You will become a researcher in her field in the future, do research with her, and then develop that field.

But Ji You doesn't want that kind of life.

He wants to be more ordinary. He hopes he can open a small shop, raise a cute kitten, and live an ordinary life forever.

"I can't agree with your pursuit right now, and I don't have that idea at the moment. Sorry."

Ji You's voice was very soft. He raised his eyes slightly, which seemed to contain a myriad of emotions, but finally returned to calm.

"Hahaha, I'm just kidding. I know that college bullies nowadays definitely don't bother to date. After all, women will only affect your learning speed."

"But I will continue to write you love letters. What if you suddenly become interested in love one day? Wouldn't that be my chance?"

Xie Luo held the broom, his eyes still bright, like a shining star, sparkling.

"If you want to fall in love someday and you don't have anyone you like, then considering that I have written you so many love letters, would you consider giving me a chance in the future?"

Every word she said was accompanied by a cheerful smile. It was not serious, nor did it make people feel uncomfortable. It was just like a joke among friends.

Ji You's heart unconsciously relaxed again. He nodded, and inexplicably seemed a little reserved and cute.

But when the word "cute" appeared on his face, there was clearly something wrong.

A person who is as cool and beautiful as a cedar tree certainly cannot be described as cute.

"If you don't mind, can we be friends first? I will reply to your letters every day, but you may still have to come to my seat to get them. Also... can you keep this a secret between the two of us and not tell anyone else?"

"Is it that I can't tell anyone about the letter I wrote, or is it that I can't tell anyone about seeing you and talking to you today?"

"Please don't tell anyone."

Something in Ji You's pocket made a beeping sound. He nodded apologetically to Xie Luo and turned on his phone.

The call from the other party was a video call. Xie Luo couldn't see the screen, but he could hear the sound.

"Ji You, why are you not in the classroom now? What are you doing on the fifth floor?"

"I just met a Japanese teacher, and I happened to be going upstairs, so I helped him bring the books up, mother."

"You've been on the fifth floor for five minutes. Does it take that long to put a book down?"

"I've been learning Japanese and French recently, and there happened to be a point in the teacher's book that I wasn't familiar with, so I stayed and read it for a while without paying attention to the time."

"I'll go back to the classroom now, mother."
