Sunny Joy - CHAPTER 37

After the start of the school year, it seemed like Song Ciyue and Meng Ran were particularly busy at first, sending good mornings in the morning and only replying with good nights at night.

There was never anything, and Song Ciyue felt relieved.

Until her roommate noticed something was off with Meng Ran, who had recently been seen with another girl, it was also due to some unspeakable motives. She subconsciously hid her attitude problem from others.

They actually know a lot about many other things.

“I feel like it’s because you were too good to him! You gave him too much face, and in the end, he did this.”

Little Pepper made a direct conclusion.

“Yeah, before this, we always felt he treated you really well. Whenever he had time, he would video call you, send you gifts, take you out on dates, and he seemed like such a romantic person. But we really didn’t expect him to be this trashy!”

Everyone nodded in agreement, saying, “He’s already like this, and you still haven’t broken up? Are you keeping him around for the New Year?”

Song Ciyue fell silent for a moment: “I don’t know, I feel like I should give up, but I can’t. This is probably the reason why love can make people become so repulsive.”

“How should I put this… What are you thinking? You know in your heart you don’t want to break up? You just want to drag it out with him? Spending your best years? Is it worth it?”

“Maybe.”

It’s true that good advice is hard to give to a stubborn person; often, the more you advise someone, the more determined they become to continue and prove themselves right.

“Sometimes, you really need to talk to your friends around you about things, otherwise, we wouldn’t know how serious it is.”

“Previously, it felt like you two were arguing, probably over something small, and then suddenly started fighting. It just seemed like the problem wasn’t that big.”

“And I really feel that if you still don’t say anything, like if you and your boyfriend have been wronged, we will always think of each other as the good person, because your description is that he is so good, and you only showed him the good side and told him.”

“But the words are only known to you. When he treats you poorly later, you will use his good side to persuade yourself. You say, he was so good to you before, don’t make a fuss. But only you know your own pain, only you know how many times you have repeated these words to yourself.”

Little Pepper: “Yeah, you two had conflicts before too, right? When I asked about it, you brought up that incident. I told you about it, but back then, you still defended him. You said he apologized and that he would change.”

“Back then, you see, you were defending him, but I didn’t think much of him at that time. Now look, he’s bringing up this issue again, digging up old grievances. Even though it seems like it’s in the past, you and he are just burying it. The issue is not really resolved, and he hasn’t changed either.”

“Let me think it over again.”

“After dating, a guy’s attitude towards a girl does change. During the flirting stage, if you send him a message, he’ll reply instantly. But after you start dating, he might not reply right away. Maybe it’s just like people don’t cherish what they have once they get it.”

Little Pepper agreed: “That’s true, so I think the best time for two people is during that ambiguous period.”

Someone summarized: “Men are just ungrateful. If you treat them wholeheartedly, they will feel annoyed. It’s like when you message him every day, he just ignores you. He ignores you more often than not. Even when you video call him every day and talk so much, he says he feels burdened by the daily video calls and doesn’t have time to talk to you.”

“Then you have time to play games? Time to play basketball? Time to go out for dinner?”

“Especially girls, they tend to be more emotional, but boys are not. Boys are generally more rational, but they lack the ability to empathize with and understand girls’ feelings. However, there are exceptions; it just depends on whether you can find one.”

This statement received widespread agreement from everyone, and Shang Nuan also shared her own experience: “Just like when I was in high school and had a fight with my boyfriend, we were in a cold war period, suddenly, my desk mate confessed to me. The guy immediately stopped arguing and even specifically called my desk mate over. He took the guy outside and told him, ‘Shang Nuan is my girlfriend.’ Later, it took several days for my desk mate to tell me about this

Yang Liu, who doesn’t have a boyfriend, listened to everyone’s love speeches and applied, “I want to apply for holding this kind of meeting every week to wake me up. This way, I might get rid of my love-struck brain.”

Song Ciyue listened to their conversation, holding a cup of milk in her hand. Her phone vibrated; she glanced at it, saw it was a message from a friend, didn’t reply, and turned off her phone.

“During the previous argument, I told Mom that we had a conflict that day, and I said I would break up the next day. Mom said that was really childish.”

“Yeah, because they’ve been through so much, like their parents’ divorce. They don’t mention the divorce, but it’s because they are carrying too much already. The nature of the situation is different; it’s not just about the other person, but also about their own family. They can’t make a hasty decision.”

“The one who loves you the most among the opposite s3x will always be your father. The one who loves the princess the most has never been the prince, but the king.”

This statement is indeed very insightful.

“I don’t care about having a boyfriend. There are still many people around me who care about you more than he does. Just think about it: when it gets cold, our dad, our mom, and our best friends will remind me to wear more clothes, while a boyfriend only says a few words when he remembers that you might be cold.”

Why do the love stories in books always have happy endings, while reality never seems to turn out well?

It is probably because we can easily see the inner turmoil of the characters in books, yet we cannot perceive the unspoken words of those around us. When watching a play, we sit in the back row; we can’t see the play clearly, but we can see the people watching the play.

Shang Nuan: “I really can’t imagine what it would be like if we got married in the future. I still feel like a child now, but we’re already very close to that step.”

Song Ciyue: “Yeah, it really is fast. In the blink of an eye, they’ve grown so much.”

“While there’s time now, and if you have ideas, do more of the things you want to do. Isn’t life just about those few moments? If you want to do something, just go do it! Now, I really feel that if I hadn’t gone to Tibet back then, I would have always felt uneasy in my heart.”

Seize the day! Right now, there’s no more pressure weighing down on you. You can actually live very comfortably and freely, in the prime of your life.

There are all kinds of people in the world, busy and hustling for life and career, but what is most lacking might be those carefree youths who live life to the fullest. Such people are dazzling and very charming.

But Song Ciyue knew she would always be a timid person who hesitated and second-guessed herself.

She really envies that kind of life…
