Chapter 22.04 (2/2)

She had insisted to choose her own school but not heading to the school of her mother’s choice or what the elders thinks. She is not even interested in heading to Zheng Xie’s university in the city. She totally ignored Zheng Xie’s attempt to secure her a placing through relations.h.i.+p. Zheng Xie sneered at it saying that she is like playing on a trampoline when she suddenly head to an unfamiliar environment, so would definitely want would hit the wall due to confusion and become depressed.

So He He is very careful in school. She study hard and had decent relations.h.i.+p with other people. She did not want to be a role model student but just not keen to be made into Zheng Xie’s joke.

But this time, she had indeed showed him what a joke she is. All the naggings and teachings that he had given in the past…. Have all been confirmed.

Zheng Xie on one side will settle the issue while on the other side is smiling.

Later, when He He’s fella student was crying and wanted to die after losing her love, He He just remained quiet and listen to her, never making the effort to persuade her. This is because she understand that people want to cry but not necessary due to the loss of love but mostly because of the hurt pride, upset about it.

He He whom had just celebrated her 18th birthday a few days before, there is no such things. In her mind, she only had one thing so she said to Cen s.h.i.+: “Wait for me there. I have something to say to you.”

In fact, He He did not know what she wants to say to Cen s.h.i.+ as she had nothing to say. She just felt that she want to see Cen s.h.i.+ to annoy Zheng Xie. Her aim is to make him angry.

But when she is in front of Zheng Xie, she is always like the ‘像如来佛掌心里的孙猴子’. In the end, she did not meet with Cen s.h.i.+ but instead, she threw a tantrum at Zheng Xie and then ran away.

像如来佛掌心里的孙猴子 (pin ying : Xiàng rúlái fó zhǎngxīn lǐ de sūn hóuzi) – this is an old proverbs that brings the meaning of … being under controlled and could not do anything even after numerous tries

He He is sitting on the upper edge of the road swinging her legs while reflecting. She felt that she had overdone it with Zheng Xie. He is doing it for her own good but she took him as a real brother and throw her petty tantrum. She somehow regretted it. She thought of Zheng Xie pleasant smile while thinking that she is a joke, she started feeling that she is full of disgrace. Then she felt that she was pretty cool earlier.

With an empty heart, she walked around for an hour on the street. Zheng Xie did not call her so she did not know how to ‘step down’ and how to go back home. Feeling lost and lonely, she called a few high school friends to come out for a gathering.

Step down – it is a Chinese expression where one that knows that self is at fault, and felt the guilt but not able to admit it for the reason of losing the ‘face’ to the other party
