Chapter 394 He Composed Himself. Aiya, Screw It – Is This Woman Trying To Arouse Me Again?
"Looks like you were really hurt by her," Ruan Yang said lazily. "Do you like her a lot?"
Li Shaobin was stunned. It couldn’t be considered a lot. He just thought that her hobbies were to his liking, but come to think of it now, she might’ve faked it. "I… don’t think so."
"I don’t think so either." Ruan Yang flipped the menu in her hands and said, "If you were cheated and fell out of love, you wouldn’t be like this right now. I think you’re just a little angry but you don’t really love her."
"… Maybe." Li Shaobin didn’t really understand the so-called feeling of heartbreak. The only time he really felt pained was during high school. He had a crush on this girl for a very long time but in the end, when he confessed to her, she said she liked Xin Ziao. He cried at home secretly that day. "You sound as though you’re a professional. Don’t forget that you only have your 18- year-old memory. Ruan Yang, tell me honestly, did you start dating in high school?"
"Yeah, once." Ruan Yang sighed with melancholy. "We were from the same class. He was the class president while I was the study representative. We could be considered the teacher’s helpers. We studied together and strove for excellence together. In year three, I insisted on applying for Northern City’s film and performance school because I wanted to be an actor, but he didn’t like this profession. He applied for Shenzhen’s financial institution and we broke up after that. Perhaps I knew we weren’t meant to belong in the same world."
Li Shaobin nodded a little uncomfortably. Why did everyone start dating in high school while his crush didn’t come to fruition? How annoying. "You could bear to let it go?"
"I don’t…" Ruan Yang thought for a while and said, "However, when I woke up at the hospital, I thought that since it had already been eight years, he might’ve long gotten married and had a family. Besides, he must’ve been glad to have broken up with me, after all…"
She shrugged. "You know why too."
"Do you mean the nude…" Li Shaobin quickly stopped himself. "Actually, you don’t have to take it to heart. It’s no big deal. Besides, I feel that since you were willing to do it, that meant you were determined in your career. You chose this path. Why must you look down on yourself?"
"You’re right. I ended up being the one looking down on myself." Ruan Yang laughed bitterly. She really didn’t understand what had happened to her in the last eight years that she became so resolute. Perhaps it was because she longed for success and was too determined to achieve her dreams. She knew this from the start.
The service staff came over then. Ruan Yang said, "Get me a set of Bordeaux foie gras, a tenderloin beef with porcini pasta and sesame salad. How about some white wine?"
"You really have great taste." The service staff smiled. "Foie gras tastes the best with white wine."
"You really know your food," Li Shaobin mumbled. He also ordered a set of wagyu beef stewed with Bordeaux and Boston lobster.
"It feels like the first time I’ve come to such a high-class western restaurant to eat." Ruan Yang suddenly smiled at the service staff and said, "Can you light the candle?"
"Of course." The service staff took out a lighter and lit the candle. Before he left, he dimmed the lights around the two of them. Li Shaobin could feel the woman sitting in front of him exuding an indistinct beauty, as though she was standing in a heavy fog. He wanted to take a good look but he couldn’t clearly, giving him the curious urge to lift up that foggy veil to take a close look.
He said awkwardly, "Isn’t this too weird? Shouldn’t it be brighter since we’re eating?"
"No." Ruan Yang propped her chin on her hand, looking at him and saying, "Don’t you think that it’s way more mesmerizing to look at people under such a setting compared to normal?"
