Chapter 292(1/2)
Tonight, there is no moon, no stars, not even wind.
But for lovers, it is still quiet and beautiful.
For Hu Xueya and Hou Xu, it was deathly quiet and desolate. This night was destined to have nothing to do with romance.
After eating, they stayed silent all the way and took the car back to the 'Xueya' flower shop run by the former.
While on the road, the two of them felt the same sadness in their hearts: "From now on, the wind and the moon will have nothing to do with each other, and the spring and autumn will not touch each other."
"This time, we probably really want to separate."
Hou Xu sat on the chair and was lost in thought. What kept flashing in his mind were the words of Lu Qing and Shen Qiongxiao, and he had mixed feelings in his heart.
"Xiao Liu, you can get off work and I'll come visit the store."
"Oh well!"
Hu Xueya asked an employee in the store to get off work early, hung a temporary suspension sign in front of the door, and made a latte for Hou Xu and herself.
Her skills in making coffee were as stable as ever, and she also drew a flower, and both cups had a heart-shaped pattern. Finally, she lined up the cups, pierced the two hearts with fresh milk, and drew a Cupid's arrow.
…
How should I put it, this seems to be a small thing, but it has both material and emotional value.
Think about it, after you have a date with your girlfriend, when you arrive at her house, she makes you a cup of coffee that is so romantic, and you drink and eat snacks, chat and talk about love, or watch a movie... You will definitely feel like a wife.
If this is the case, what else can I ask for? If once is not enough, what about two, three, or N times?
For a long time, there were really not many men who could bear such tenderness. This was what made Hou Xu fall in love. Hu Xuelia fulfilled all the fantasies he or most men had about their partner; she was gentle, considerate, considerate, and knew how to advance and retreat.
Be sensible, occasionally maintain a sense of distance, and push and pull to change positions... Comrade Xiaohou can't stop, and is determined to do so.
What's wrong with acting? If you can act for a lifetime, it will be true.
"Try it." Hu Xueya seemed to have calmed down her emotions and showed a warm smile.
But Hou Xu's eyes have been trained for a long time, and he can see that it is just an act. When he saw the coffee latte art, he couldn't even pretend it. In order not to be so sad, he forced a smile: "I can't bear to drink the pretty ones."
!”
"Well, drink it. It's just for drinking."
"Um."
Hou Xu took a sip of coffee, and the taste on his tongue surprised him: "This cup seems to be a lot sweeter than before."
Hou Xu doesn't like food that is too sweet? The same goes for coffee. Hu Xuelia knows his taste, so she never makes him sweet coffee like latte in the past. He is a little surprised that the other party seems to have forgotten his taboo today?
Hu Xueya picked up the coffee and laughed self-deprecatingly: "It's bitter enough now, let's drink something sweet."
"..."
After two seconds of silence, Hou Xu stood up and picked up two pens and a notebook from the counter. He opened the notebook and said, "Shall we try that scoring game?"
"OK."
"Tear~"
The two of them each had a piece of paper, turned their backs to each other, and began to rate, but they both hesitated. After a long while, they still did not dare to write.
Hou Xu asked: "Have you started writing?"
"Nope."
"Me too? Let's hurry up."
More than half an hour passed, and the two of them placed the papers with their scores on the table with their backs facing each other. The atmosphere was a little tense.
This game? Don’t play it if you don’t have deep feelings. What if you score 70 and the other party scores 100? It’s so embarrassing that even if you don’t quarrel, you’ll be ghosted!
But if both parties have a deep relationship, it doesn't matter if they play. If the total scores are very high and very close, but the score of a certain item is too low? If the other party is not very satisfied, then you can try to increase the value of this item.
If the material value is low, work hard to make money? If the emotional value is low, pay more attention to your partner; if the sexual and external appearance is low, exercise and pay more attention to appearance... This will play a role in making the relationship more satisfying and making both parties happier.
However, the relationship between Hou Xu and Hu Xuelia is very complicated, and their current situation is very unstable, between breaking up and not breaking up. It was originally a situation of walking on a tightrope, but now playing this game is equivalent to running on a tightrope, again.
The risk is increased, and if you are not careful, this relationship will definitely be doomed...
"Has it been written?"
"Um."
Hou Xu was heartbroken and took the lead to open his piece of paper. Hu Xueya's right hand trembled slightly, but she followed closely...
"The total score is 93 points, material value; 3 points, emotional value; 35 points, spiritual value; 25 points, external appearance; 15 points, sexual value; 15 points."
This is what Hou Xu did to Hu Xueya. He modified the font and fractions, and painted them like ghost symbols.
"The total score is 92 points, material value; 32 points, emotional value; 20 points, spiritual value; 20 points, external appearance; 10 points, sexual value; 10 points.
This is what Hu Xuelia wrote to Hou Xu. It is not that neat and it has been revised several times.
However, this is a score she gave sincerely. If she had just met him in the past, Hou Xu's material value would have accounted for a very high proportion. But as time went by, and she gradually discovered the other person's other advantages, it gradually declined...
…
"It's not a big difference!"
Hou Xu smiled and said: "The total score is only one point short."
"yes."
Hu Xueya breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that there was not much difference between the two of them in liking each other. It seemed that they were evenly matched in love?
After a moment of silence, Hou Xu spoke softly: "So, abandoning my family, your love for me is only 60 points? No surprise."
"Why throw it away?"
Hu Xueya tried to explain: "Your family is also a part of you. Just like if you remove my appearance and that, your rating of me will also drop a lot."
"It's different. Your appearance is your own. These thirty points of material value are not mine, but were given by my parents. And they are still in their prime, and I went against their wishes..."
Hou Xu pretended to be relaxed and said: "Actually, it's okay. Since I am an only child, they have no choice but to let me gradually take over the family business."
"Shen Qiongxiao said something a bit serious at the dinner table. She doesn't know much about my relationship with my parents. If I really want to do something, they won't stop me. After all, I am an adult. And what she said will affect my studies.
That’s not the case. Professor Li knows about this and can only say a few words to me. As long as I do my research on time and publish more high-quality papers, I will still graduate when it’s time to graduate..."
"do not do that."
Hu Xueya smiled reluctantly. After brewing for a long time, her eyes gradually became firm and she said slowly: "Actually, I thought a lot on the way back. I think we should be friends separately."
"..." Hou Xu's heart sank.
"We are not suitable for each other and have inconsistent views."
Hu Xueya seemed to have made up her mind and took the initiative to break up.
Damn, you can’t be dumped by a young brother like the last time we broke up. Even if we break up, I have to be the first to mention it, take the initiative, and let you taste the feeling of being dumped...
At this time, she said calmly: "Why do I value material things so much? It's because I have always been hungry for money. I admit that I just love vanity. But when I was with you before, I always hid these little thoughts.
I don’t dare to expose my true thoughts at all, for fear that you will feel disgusted with me. Until today’s evaluation, I really don’t want to hide it any more, so I just want to make it clear today.”
Hou Xu could only nod: "You say."
"First of all, the biggest difference between you and me is our view on material things. Secondly, it's daily communication, which involves spiritual and emotional values. Many times I don't understand what you talk to me about, and some of your
I don’t agree with the concept either. But I still pretend to agree and understand it, and I will immediately supplement the relevant knowledge when I go back to avoid the generation gap between you and me.”
"You come from a privileged family. You have a broad vision since childhood. You don't worry about money, and you are very indifferent to material things. You are also a Ph.D. from Peking University. You are erudite and talented. You can speak four languages. There is nothing you don't understand in front-line scientific research in astronomy, geography, society and politics. You are so outstanding..."
"As for me, I'm just a child from a commoner family with a second-level education. I have no capital and don't value material things! And no matter how much I catch up, I can't catch up with you. Even without the pressure of your parents, I would still be very tired from such a relationship."
"You and I are not evenly matched. I have always been bluffing before. Frankly speaking, I am not worthy of you..."
This seems to be an explanation of the reasons for the rating just now, but in fact it is a desperate show of weakness. Even if Hu Xuelia proposed breaking up, she still played a scheming trick...
As soon as these words came out, if Hou Xu did have the idea to end this bad relationship completely after Shen Qiongxiao's persuasion before Hu Xueyaya broke up, but now this idea has disappeared.
Because the other party's words reflected the class issue and directly pointed out that the reason why the two could not be together was due to the gap between family wealth and the environment in which they grew up. This was something Xiaohou's classmate could not accept and recognize!
Too simple, too naive...
Hou Xu was emotional: "Love has nothing to do with the things you said! Now I just want to ask you whether you love me or not?"
"like!"
Hu Xueya was overjoyed, and sparkling tears welled up in her innocent eyes: "But I have lied to you before, and I have hurt you. Your parents can't accept us being together. I am a big burden to you. You
The relationship with uncles and aunts will be very tense..."
"I do not care!"
Hou Xu stood up, like a fully armed war dog wearing metal armor, facing thousands of troops without fear or even grinning, his eyes full of murderous intent, and a modern poem resounded in his mind;
born free
Love without fear
Please show the courage to shake things up!
Brave young man, for the sake of love, go and create a miracle!
