Chapter 113 Self-Reflection
Chapter 113 Self-Reflection
After hastily bidding farewell to Ouyang Mengmian, Su Jingsi stood there for a long time.
Looking at the empty corridor, Su Jingsi felt that his heart was empty as well.
Ouyang Mengmian was so impatient that he almost fled from his side. It was impossible for Su Jingsi to say that he didn't care and didn't think too much about it.
Thinking that Ouyang Mengmian might have some bad thoughts about him when he left, Su Jingsi felt that his head was about to explode. Even when he finally returned to the room and sat in front of the computer, he couldn't help but be stunned for a long time.
Fortunately, Su Jingsi was very clear that what had happened could not be changed, so he forced himself to cheer up and get back to work.
Ouyang Mengmian left the apartment almost as if escaping. Not long after he walked, he saw the subway that he had talked about with Su Jingsi before. The most fundamental reason why Su Jingsi chose to live in this apartment was that the transportation in the apartment was very convenient, and it was only four or five minutes away from the subway.
It was not until he got on the subway that Ouyang Mengmian had time to sort out his confused thoughts.
Many scenes since she met Su Jingsi kept emerging in Ouyang Mengmian's mind like lightning: from the eager eyes he looked at her when they first met in the bar, to him standing up to stop a drunk man for her and getting injured, to everything that happened after the two of them collided unexpectedly just now.
Ouyang Mengmian gradually realized that some things seemed to have gone beyond her imagination from the very beginning, and the answers to certain questions were almost about to come out.
She certainly knew that there was no love or hate without reason in this world, especially in the modern society which is extremely utilitarian. It was not that her understanding of human nature was distorted, but that reality was just like that. In the past few years outside, Ouyang Mengmian was no longer the naive little girl she used to be.
When the danger occurred, Ouyang Mengmian did not expect that someone would come to rescue her so quickly - the bar was dimly lit and it was an inconspicuous place. Although there were security guards in the store, it would probably take some time for them to react. Moreover, she had just been stopped by a drunk man at that time. If you didn't know, you might just think they were chatting normally.
Ouyang Mengmian was panicked because she was suddenly stopped by a drunk man. Of course, she also wanted to scare the drunk man away with her extremely tough attitude from the beginning. In fact, even if the drunk man was not scared away, she already had a plan to deal with it.
As long as she didn't anger the drunk man, tried her best to hold him back, and looked for opportunities when the waiter or other drinkers approached, she should have no problem escaping safely. However, Su Jingsi appeared beside her the moment she was in danger and stopped the drunk man!
There may be many coincidences in the world, but too many coincidences are just artificial arrangements when the plot requires it. Ouyang Mengmian thought that he was no longer at the age where he could admire someone with starry eyes just because of a coincidence.
However, when this kind of coincidence suddenly happened to her one day, Ouyang Mengmian was still a little dumbfounded for a while. But she soon realized that these coincidences were not the same as those intentional ones.
Although she was not familiar with Su Jingsi at the time, Ouyang Mengmian was certain that the whole incident of her encountering the drunk man and Su Jingsi standing up for her was purely a coincidence.
But just after Su Jingsi unexpectedly hugged her in his arms, Ouyang Mengmian had a different interpretation of what happened before - perhaps it was a coincidence that she was stopped and molested by a drunk man, but Su Jingsi's crucial appearance at the critical moment was not necessarily a coincidence.
Could it be that Su Jingsi had been following her from the beginning? Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why he would appear in such a dark and remote place in the first place.
Thinking of the overly eager look in Su Jingsi's eyes that always made her feel, and the care and consideration she had experienced from him when she had been in close contact with him in the past two days, Ouyang Mengmian's confused heart became even more confused.
The body that Su Jingsi had hugged seemed to still be slightly hot, but her mind was always reminding her not to get involved in emotions easily. Ouyang Mengmian was so annoyed by the separation of her mind and body that she almost gave up on herself.
Seeing that they were still some distance away from their destination, Ouyang Mengmian closed her eyes and chose to temporarily block the connection between her body and mind - after all, she was only taking care of Su Jingsi during the time when his hand was injured. By the time he recovered, maybe they would have already gone their separate ways.
Since she had no intention of doing anything with Su Jingsi, and Su Jingsi only showed some affection for her, why did she use "embarrassment" to break this hazy window paper? Perhaps it didn't need to be too much trouble. If she played dumb at the right time and treated everything calmly, the final outcome between her and him would be calm.
Ouyang Mengmian seemed to have gotten the answer he wanted, and a faint smile slowly appeared at the corner of his mouth.
