Chapter 517: Liking You Is My Own Business
Shen Jiayi slowly raised her head. She saw a hint of self-mockery in Xiao Mosheng’s eyes.
“Jiayi, when I was young, I grew up in a slum on an alien planet. Do you know about slums? “There are all kinds of crimes happening around me every day, but no one cares. I might live today, but I won’t live until tomorrow. Growing up in such an environment, I have many flaws that you can’t imagine.”
Xiao Mosheng laughed bitterly, then looked at Shen Jiayi indifferently. “I couldn’t help myself last night. If I didn’t drink so much, I wouldn’t have indulged myself…”
“I don’t regret what happened last night.” Shen Jiayi’s voice was m.u.f.fled. She looked at her toes and said softly, “Whether you’re good or not is your business. It’s my own business that I like you. I won’t make you take responsibility, so you don’t have to take it to heart.”
Xiao Mosheng was stunned. “Jiayi, don’t you think… It’s unfair to you?”
“Then what is fair? Mosheng, I know there’s always someone in your heart. So, if you talk to me about taking responsibility under these circ.u.mstances, when you’re still in love with someone else, it’s not fair to me, but cruel to me.” Shen Jiayi felt the dull pain in her heart, but she still insisted, “That’s it. I’m going to practice my song. It’s time for the central performance.”
After saying that, Shen Jiayi smiled weakly. She took the dinner that Xiao Mosheng had brought and turned to leave.
Xiao Mosheng looked at Shen Jiayi’s back with a slightly sour expression. He was a sensitive person, so he naturally knew how Shen Jiayi felt about him. However, Shen Jiayi’s words today made him unable to understand Shen Jiayi.
“I really can’t understand anyone?”
Xiao Mosheng smiled bitterly.
Song Yaqin was this, and Shen Jiayi was this now as well.
Xiao Mosheng decided that he should go back to the piano room and play the piano. He didn’t think about anything, because he realized that he couldn’t understand anything!
Shen Jiayi returned to the practice room and took out rice and vegetables. As she ate, she cried silently.
She realized that she was still very weak. Even love was not straightforward and messy.
Shen Jiayi had always been feeling inferior. Even though she was much better, at this moment, all the inferiority and depression swept over her.
Just like that, she closed her eyes and finished her meal. Shen Jiayi did not remember what other tastes these dishes had because they were all bitter to her taste.
However, she really didn’t regret it.
Love is love.
Shen Jiayi finished her dinner, put it aside, wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and then picked up the song book next to her.
This was a very popular song recently, and the singer was also Shen Jiayi’s idol.
If I didn’t meet you, where would I be
How are your days? Should I cherish life
Perhaps I’ll know someone and live an ordinary life
I don’t know if there’s love as sweet as honey
Let the time pa.s.s by, I only care about you…
Shen Jiayi was singing in the singing room. Xiao Mosheng, who was going to practice, stood quietly outside the door, leaning against the wall, listening to Shen Jiayi’s singing and looking at the sky outside. His eyes were misty, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Just when the two of them didn’t know what they were thinking, Gu Yan, who was far away in the logistics platoon, suddenly sat up on the bed.
Zhang Cuihua happened to pa.s.s by Gu Yan’s bed. She was so scared that she jumped up.
She hit her head on the bed beside her. Zhang Cuihua said resentfully, “Gu Yan, aren’t you scary?”
Although she was resentful, she was very careful. Her voice was especially soft.
She was mainly worried that Gu Yan would be angry.
Gu Yan was actually not angry. She curled her lips and said, “I never scare people, really.”
