After Li Jingran finished speaking, he turned to look at Xu Wanwan’s expression.
Seeing that his words did not seem to have any effect, his eyes darkened slightly. He thought for a moment and then continued speaking.
“If you want to get rid of this feeling, then work hard to become more outstanding. Because only in this way can you get rid of these troublesome people or things.”
He was worried that Xu Wanwan did not understand what he was saying, so he quickly thought about it before continuing.
“Let’s put it this way. When you stand on the first floor, you can hear all kinds of voices outside the window. “But when you stand on the eighth floor, you can no longer hear the voices on the first floor, but you can still see those annoying things or people who insult you
“When you stand on the 100th floor, you can no longer see everything downstairs. “Whether it’s the voices that insult you, or the people, or other things on the road, at this time, even if someone on the first floor scolds you, you don’t care.”
“So, try your best to stand higher. This doesn’t mean that your career or what you want to achieve, but that you have to let go of the shackles in your heart and see the wider world outside.”
After Li Jingran finished speaking, Xu Wanwan’s heart was slightly shaken.
This was the first time in her memory that Li Jingran had said so much to her.
She could feel that Li Jingran was indeed very serious about talking about this matter.
He wanted to bring her out of her low mood.
He had never communicated with her like this before.
Li Jingran seemed to have given her another unexpected surprise.
“What’s Wrong?”Seeing that Xu Wanwan didn’t speak for a long time, Li Jingran was a little confused.
“But you’re standing so high up, how are you going to face the good and the bad?”
Hearing Xu Wanwan’s question, Li Jingran was slightly stunned. Apparently, he didn’t expect that Xu Wanwan would ask this question out of the blue.
Obviously, this question also stumped Li Jingran.
Li Jingran was thinking about it. After dozens of seconds, he slowly spoke in a cold voice.
“Actually, I don’t have a way to solve this problem for the time being. I can give you a better solution. “In the world, no matter what, there are gains and losses. When making a choice, you can only make it based on your own experience.”
“What if something goes wrong?”Xu Wanwan continued to ask.
“Then you have to bear the consequences of making a mistake.”When he said this, Li Jingran paused for a moment, as if he had thought of something. Then he continued, “Just like what I did back then.”
As soon as he said this, Xu Wanwan’s expression froze.
Without waiting for Xu Wanwan to speak, Li Jingran quickly continued, “If it weren’t for me, we wouldn’t have been separated for so many years. “It was my fault, so no matter how you treat me now, I’ll accept it calmly. I’m just paying for the immature choices I made in the past…”
Seeing that Li Jingran was about to continue, Xu Wanwan hurriedly spoke in panic, stopping Li Jingran from continuing.
“Stop!”
Seeing that Xu Wanwan really did not want to hear him continue, Li Jingran’s expression dimmed again, and he did not continue.
The atmosphere in the car was once again awkward.
Xu Wanwan unfastened her seatbelt, opened the door, and got out of the car.
When the night wind blew past her face, she looked at the calm surface of the lake. The reflection of the moonlight made the surface of the lake shimmering.
She had originally been a little flustered, but at this moment, she suddenly calmed down.
Click —
The sound of the car being locked.
Xu Wanwan knew that Li Jingran had also gotten out of the car.
“I’m sorry.”Li Jingran walked to Xu Wanwan’s side, his voice neither loud nor soft.
She knew why Li Jingran wanted to apologize to her, but she did not take it to heart.
“Do you want to hear about my past?”Xu Wanwan asked.
Xu Wanwan didn’t know why she wanted to do this. She just suddenly wanted to confide in him.
She knew very well in her heart that if Li Jingran didn’t exist, she would still be a country bumpkin with low self-esteem.
If it weren’t for Li Jingran’s existence, her life trajectory might have overlapped with that of her previous life.
Compared to his previous life, he could live well now. To some extent, it was indeed because of Li Jingran.
Hearing what Xu Wanwan said, Li Jingran was slightly stunned. He had thought about it a lot, but he never thought that Xu Wanwan would be willing to share with him what happened in the past.
“Okay, of course.”Li Jingran nodded without any hesitation.
For Li Jingran, Xu Wanwan’s attitude towards him had changed slightly since she was able to do this.
“You know very well about my family’s situation. I’ve been raised by Xu Yue’s grandmother in the countryside since I was young. Everything that everyone is used to is very rare here.”
Xu Wanwan suddenly thought of something and chuckled.
Xu Wanwan turned to look at Li Jingran in a self-deprecating and amused manner. Her tone was a little complicated.
“Can you believe it?”? “It wasn’t until I was in junior high school that I took a bus for the first time. I even took a bus.”. “I went to primary school in the village next door to Xu Yue’s grandmother.”. “The transportation was inconvenient, and I was in the village, so I got up earlier than a chicken and went out early in the morning.”
“You probably can’t imagine such a thing, because the primary school is in the neighboring village. If I walked there, it would take me at least an hour and a half. “After school, the first thing I do every day is to burn firewood and chop wood to cook. “In such an era, I’m still like an ancient person.”
“I didn’t know until junior high that every household had an induction cooker. There was no need to chop wood and burn fire.”
Hearing what Xu Wanwan said, Li Jingran felt a slight pain in his chest.
Although he always knew that Xu Wanwan didn’t have a good life when she was young, he didn’t expect it to be so bad.
Li Jingran suppressed the violent emotions in his heart and asked, “Since that family said that to you, why did they let you go to junior high school in the provincial capital?”
Li Jingran could not be blamed for being curious. After all, that family had already been so cruel to Xu Wanwan. Why would they be willing to spend so much money to give her a better education? !
“Ha.”Xu Wanwan chuckled and then continued, “That’s right. They would never let me study in the provincial city. I already knew about this very clearly when I was in primary school.”
“So I’ve been studying hard, and it’s precisely because of this that I’m still very grateful to the primary school teachers of that year.”
