Knowing
Ji Su asked Qiao Lan to go to the cafe across the street from the school, Qiao Lan refused, "What can't we talk about on the phone?"
"I think it's better to meet in person," Ji Su says.
"Oh," Qiao Lan's voice was cold, "it's better to talk on the phone, my boyfriend doesn't like me meeting other guys in private."
Qiao Lan really didn't give him a chance, even though Qiao Lan said that she kept her distance from the opposite sex because she had a boyfriend, but other than Qiao Lan, even if she had a boyfriend, she wouldn't have gone to the extent that Qiao Lan did.
Is Tan Mo really that good?
Ji Su sat on the sofa, usually always with a smile on his face at the moment not half a smile, holding the phone's hand involuntarily tightened, silent for a long time before whispering.
"So what if I say I like you."
Qiao Lan's side was quiet for a moment, and a moment later Qiao Lan's cold voice came out of the receiver, "That has nothing to do with me either."
If every one-sided favorite was something she had to manage and worry about, she'd have been distracted a long time ago.
Ji Su listened to Qiao Lan's indifferent voice, suddenly developed an indescribable feeling of powerlessness, his like his feelings, in front of Qiao Lan seems to be worthless, and his good patience seems to have begun to become difficult to inhibit in front of Qiao Lan, Ji Su couldn't help but to ask her.
"There's nothing you want to say?"
"I would like to say that there is, indeed," Qiao Lan said.
Ji Su was about to say something when he heard Qiao Lan continue.
"Although someone reminded me before, but I still don't believe, after all I already have a boyfriend and we are in a good relationship, so as long as the character of the person passes through absolutely will not interfere in other people's feelings, and I always thought that the senior whether in the academic or person is very good, now it seems as if I thought wrong."
Ji Su was a bit angry, he clearly wanted to help her, but now it was Qiao Lan's turn to question his character here.
It's not right to meddle in other people's relationships, but Qiao Lan and Tan Mo are only in love now, and his pursuit of Qiao Lan is just fair play, plus people like Tan Mo ......
"Qiao Lan", Ji Su sank down and called Qiao Lan properly, "There's no need to speak so harshly, don't you think I'm doing you a favor?"
Even if Qiao Lan was smart enough, she really didn't understand what Ji Su meant by this, deliberately insinuating and destroying their relationship and calling it helping her?
She doesn't feel or understand it.
Ji Su said slowly, "When you first said you enrolled in psychology because of one person, it was because of your boyfriend, wasn't it?"
Qiao Lan stood still for a moment, but Ji Su really knew.
So that debate the other day was indeed intentional on his part!
Ji Su didn't hear Qiao Lan's reply, so she continued, "If I'm not wrong, your boyfriend, should be a person with Asperger's, right? Don't be surprised how I know that, before I talk about you and your boyfriend, how about I tell you a story first?"
Qiao Lan laughed silently, she wanted to hear what story Ji Su was going to tell.
Ji Su's story has a predictable ending from the very beginning.
A pretty young girl in her best grade meets an equally handsome and gentle boy, she's never met the opposite sex who cares so much for her, forgiving, generous, like the perfect boyfriend in a TV novel, and the two fall in love quickly and get married soon after.
But when married girls only to find that the original has always thought of the perfect boyfriend in the previous performance of all the fake, he will not be like a normal person to love people, his love paranoia extreme, step by step, eat up all her life, cut off all the contacts between her and relatives and friends, so that her world has become only one person.
That's when she realized there was a condition called Asperger's.
People with this condition either don't fall in love, or they are in the most extreme form of love, only she knows too late.
Even though life is rich and well clothed and never requires strenuous work, it is like life has become a prison.
A year later they had a child, she was filled with joy when she found out that she was about to have such a new life, her life was so boring and the arrival of a new life was like a ray of light in her life. She thought to herself that even if he didn't allow her to have friends and family contact, the baby was both of theirs and he would always love the baby.
And everything that followed proved that she thought wrong again.
He didn't like the boy, even hated him because he divided her attention.
"So I'm saving you, Qiao Lan," Ji Su's voice softened.
"I have an Asperger's father who I have lived with under the same roof for eighteen years, and no one knows better than I do how scary it is to have an Asperger's patient. For as long as I can remember I've rarely seen my mother smile, he wouldn't smile in front of my father and he wouldn't smile in front of me because he would get angry if she smiled at me, the year I graduated from high school my parents finally divorced and my mother traded suicide for her freedom, she was resuscitated but left with the disease."
Ji Su's tone of voice became a bit somber because of what was being said, "These kind of people don't know anything about love, let alone deserve it, people like this shouldn't have dragged innocent people into this mess in the first place, no one should be held accountable for their madness, Qiao Lan".
Ji Su paused before continuing, "Naturally I know it's not right to destroy other people's relationship, but chance made me know about Tan Mo's illness, I should have seen it with my own eyes that's why I don't see it between you two, and I also want to warn you to leave Tan Mo earlier, I do like you so I don't want you to have all your life ruined by a dysfunctional person in the future as well. "
Qiao Lan held her cell phone without speaking.
She recalled the common saying that the pitiful must be hated, and the hateful must suffer.
Listening to this part of Ji Su's story, there is no doubt that Ji Su, Ji Su's mother, were both pitiful, especially Ji Su herself, who was extraordinarily hostile to people with Asperger's because of having such a father.
Qiao Lan can completely understand how he feels this way.
But it's just understanding.
That's no reason to allow him to destroy other people's relationships.
Even if Tan Mo really had some problems, it was not Ji Su's turn to do anything as an outsider, it was between her and Tan Mo.
Qiao Lan this side did not say anything, Ji Su thought Qiao Lan finally touched after listening, softened his voice and continued, "I know you now have a deep relationship, let you break up is difficult, but I still advise you to get out of it earlier, lest like my mother, when you want to get out of it, but it is difficult to get out of it and finally ruined for life. "
Qiao Lan closed her eyes and finally spoke after a long time, "Senior, I still say the same thing, this is a matter between Tan Mo and I, it has nothing to do with you, no matter what your reasons are, it's an undisputed fact that you're destroying our relationship."
"I said I was helping you!"
Ji Su thinks he's being nice, but Qiao Lan's lack of patience makes him angry.
"I don't need it, not to mention I don't need your self-righteous help", Qiao Lan interrupted Ji Su decisively, "And ask yourself if you're really just trying to help me?"
Qiao Lan lost her patience, she had felt some pity for Ji Su a moment ago, but now even the half-pity she had just felt had vanished without a trace.
"You say you know your parents well enough to know about Asperger's, I can't argue with that, but do you know me well enough to know Tan Mo? There are more Asperger's patients in the world than you can count, and do you know every single one of them? Who are you to judge other people's lives and make choices for them because of your own little life experience?"
Ji Su took a deep breath, "You're still young enough to be deceived just like my mother was back then ......"
"I wasn't cheated on, don't keep comparing me to your mother, I don't know your mother and I'm not like her", Qiao Lan now thinks that Ji Su is not the right person either, talking to himself and not listening to what others are saying, he keeps comparing his parents' tragic love with her, but it's not the same at all.
"Momo is not like your father, and I am not like your mother," Qiao Lan said, word for word.
"Your father tricked your mother into liking him by using false acting, he hid his true self and tricked your mother into coming home, the tragedy of your parents' relationship wasn't because your father had Asperger's, it was because their love for each other was supposed to be a hoax from the beginning, the person your mother liked wasn't your father at all it was an illusion created by your father! "
"Because of your father's deception, because your mother never even loved your father for who he was meant to be, and that's what made them tragic, and Tan Mo and I are different."
Ji Su, the other end of the phone suddenly fell silent, Qiao Lan probably remembered the time when he first met Tan Mo, and his gaze became much warmer.
"I just met him when I saw his most down and out side, I'm not like your mother, I don't like each other because of the appearance of perfection, I started to like him when he was down and out, and now that he's getting better and better I'm only going to like him more, so don't compare me and Tan Mo with your parents' tragic experiences. I'm not as naive as your mother who can't see the real face of the person she likes and Tan Mo is not as timid and cowardly as your father who is afraid to show his true colors so don't be so self-righteous to come and save me, I think it's you who needs to be saved more."
"Ji Su, that's all there is to say, I've already handed over the application for quitting the club to you, I won't be going to participate in the club activities in the future, I'll turn around and delete all the contact information, I hope that the senior can also clear all of them earlier."
"What if I don't agree," Ji Su said slowly, taking a deep breath.
"The school doesn't have a rule about members not being allowed to quit the club," Qiao Lan smiled, "And in everyone's eyes, you've always been a perfect persona, so you probably don't want people to know why I quit the club, after all, meddling in other people's relationships and all... it doesn't fit in with your image. It doesn't really fit with your usual image."
Qiao Lan is clearly threatening him.
But Ji Su was still threatened.
Qiao Lan over there hung up the phone and sat alone on the sofa not knowing what to think, while on the other side of the room Qiao Lan waited for Tan Mo, who had finished class, and suddenly leapt into Tan Mo's arms.
Tan Mo unknown but still very thin and smooth hands to hold people, next to the passing of Xie Hongyi and other people quickly slipped people to avoid being abused by the dog.
Tan Mo touched Qiao Lan's hair, "What's wrong."
Qiao Lan is holding Tan Mo.
Tan Mo was very hostile to Ji Su at the beginning, and she didn't believe it at that time.
Qiao Lan half a long time after a long sigh, and then raised his head again both on only smile, "I officially quit the Psycho Club, to celebrate the success of the retreat, let's go out to eat!"
