Chapter 46 It’s time to settle the accounts
"What? Why are you looking at me like that?"
Seeing Rui Zhao's expression, Li Jingzhe said in a cold voice - he was the boy who just called Rui Zhao.
"Last month, you kept asking me why I didn't say hello to you. Why are you not happy when I came to you today?"
"Uh... no, no!" The girl tried hard to force out a very unnatural smile: "Long time no see, it's nice to see you, Li Jingzhe!"
Haha, still pretending!
Seeing Rui Zhao's expression, Li Jingzhe couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
Li Jingzhe was very familiar with the girl in front of him, who was recognized as the school beauty of Dongjiang Middle School. After all, he had been courting this girl for nearly three years.
After he entered the main campus of Dongjiang Middle School three years ago, he was almost immediately attracted to the extremely beautiful Rui Zhao. He couldn't help himself and quickly began to attack this freshman in the International Department.
Rui Zhao was also quite enthusiastic about him. He happily accepted his gift and the invitation to go to the musical together.
He was very excited at the time, thinking that it was his excellence and sincerity that touched the other person.
Yes, Li Jingzhe considers himself to be a very good boy - and that is indeed the case.
No matter from which aspect, Li Jingzhe has no shortcomings, and even has strengths everywhere.
In terms of appearance, although Rui Zhao is recognized as the school belle, Li Jingzhe is gentle, polite and elegant, and is also one of the strong candidates for the school hunk.
In terms of family background, although Rui Zhao's family conditions were good, Li Jingzhe's father worked in the city and his mother was a well-known writer, which was even better than Rui's family.
In terms of personal achievements and abilities, Li Jingzhe and Rui Zhaobi are like heaven and earth!
After enrolling in the main campus of Dongjiang Middle School in 2020, his grades have never been outside the top two in the grade. He won a gold medal in the informatics competition in his second year of high school, and another gold medal in the mathematics competition in his third year of high school, directly qualifying for admission to Tsinghua University's Yao Class.
So, although in terms of appearance alone, Li Jingzhe may not be as eye-catching as Rui Zhao, but in fact, in terms of excellence, Li Jingzhe is far better than Rui Zhao, and he has never lacked girls' secret crush on him since he was a child.
According to his thinking at the time, as long as he showed enough enthusiasm and sincerity, it would only be a matter of time before he could catch up with Rui Zhao.
However... Li Jingzhe still underestimated the greed and ignorance of version t0.
After the initial small progress, his pursuit of Rui Zhao quickly fell into an extremely long reading phase.
Rui Zhao always hinted to him intentionally or unintentionally that she needed all kinds of high-end perfumes, cosmetics, etc. Li Jingzhe, who was not clear about the reason, thought it was just a test from his sweetheart, so he immediately took money from his abundant New Year's money and pocket money over the years to buy them in order to please the beauty.
But later... it was a story that online novel readers were very familiar with.
He bought one thing after another, but the relationship between him and Rui Zhao was always distant. Whenever he felt discouraged, Rui Zhao would give him some small favors to rekindle his fighting spirit.
This relationship between the two lasted for more than two years. During this period, Li Jingzhe repeatedly expressed his hope that the relationship between the two would go further, but all he got were ambiguous answers:
"I'm still too busy with schoolwork right now. Can we talk about this when we have some free time?"
"You are a really nice and gentle person, but I have never had a boyfriend before, so I want to be more cautious about my first love..."
And so on.
Even at the end of last year, when Li Jingzhe won the gold medal in a mathematics competition and had been invited to Tsinghua University's Yao Class, he was wondering whether to give up the opportunities in China and instead study abroad with Rui Zhao - even though his parents actually wanted him to study in China for his undergraduate studies.
He finally made a decision: to formally confess his feelings to Rui Zhao once again!
As long as Rui Zhao agreed to be his girlfriend, he would start preparing to study abroad without hesitation.
However, his Christmas Eve confession failed again.
After his affectionate long words, Rui Zhao just replied awkwardly:
"We are still too young now, and I haven't figured out whether we are suitable for each other. Why don't you reject Qinghua first and study abroad together first?
"Oh, by the way, my birthday is coming soon after the New Year... I have been using my phone for two years, I really want someone to give me a pink pineapple 15 pro..."
Ha, ha ha...
It was the failure of this confession that made Li Jingzhe begin to wake up.
He gradually realized that Rui Zhao had been just hanging him for the past two years, treating him like an ATM, and had no intention of truly accepting him.
At this moment, he remembered that many classmates and friends had privately advised him not to get stuck with Rui Zhao. He decisively went to consult for advice, and everyone gave the same answer:
You are being treated like a fish!
There was even someone who was more sarcastic and directly suggested that Li Jingzhe go online to read some online literature, saying that his situation was exactly the same as those stupid protagonists in rebirth novels who were toyed by green tea girls in their previous lives!
With a very heavy heart, Li Jingzhe went online to read the masterpieces of various platinum and great masters, and found that he had a strong sense of immersion.
But he hopes he won't be so strong next time...
Since then, Li Jingzhe no longer meets Rui Zhao's various demands and hints, and also deliberately keeps a distance between them, hoping that the contrast between before and after can make Rui Zhao truly realize his goodness.
However, the reality once again went against one's wishes.
Faced with Li Jingzhe's changes, Rui Zhao's behavior was still exactly the same as described in the online article. He was either at KFC or making promises to him all day, which made him extremely disgusted. Not long after, Rui Zhao also lost his patience after finding that he would never bite the bait. He complained for a while and then ignored him.
At this time, Li Jingzhe was finally completely disheartened and awakened. He planned to take revenge on Rui Zhao before graduation to vent his dissatisfaction.
When he heard the news last night that Rui Zhao was going to drop out of school, he decided to take revenge today...
...
"Um, I heard you're going to drop out of school?"
"Yeah!" The girl nodded cautiously.
It seems that he has found a good school and is planning to go out and have some fun!
Li Jingzhe made a judgment in his heart.
"Then there is no relationship between us anymore, and the matter between us... should be settled!"
"It doesn't matter..." Rui Zhao chewed on the wording for a moment and asked in a low voice: "Aren't we friends?"
friend?
Li Jingzhe couldn't help but reveal an expression of disgust on his face.
"Now that you've said that, let me go through the process... Will you be my girlfriend?"
"Eh?"
The girl didn't seem to expect Li Jingzhe to ask such a question and was completely stunned.
"So, tell me! Will you be my girlfriend?!"
Li Jingzhe raised his voice again, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his words.
This time Rui Zhao completely understood what he meant, but his face was filled with embarrassment:
"Uh... th-th-th-th-th-th-this won't work!"
Oh, you don’t even want to pretend?
Li Jingzhe sneered in his heart again: He naturally didn't expect Rui Zhao to agree.
I promised him but he still doesn't agree!
I'm a hexagonal warrior, why should I be dragged down by a green tea girl like you who is only good-looking?
The only thing that was a little bit surprising was that he didn't expect Rui Zhao to refuse so straightforwardly - he thought Rui Zhao would use some fish-raising tactics again.
"Then let me tell you something common sense: after confessing your love, if two people can't become lovers, they can't be friends."
After saying this, Li Jingzhe stared at Rui Zhao with an expressionless face.
“Is that so?” The girl shrank back in embarrassment. “Well, it does feel awkward…”
Eh?
You just went on like this?
Li Jingzhe felt a little strange again.
Based on his understanding of Rui Zhao, shouldn't Rui Zhao say something that would raise people's blood pressure, such as "You men approach women just to possess them?" or "Isn't it normal to be friends instead of lovers?"
He even thought about how to refute such disgusting remarks, but...
You actually agree with what I said?!
Li Jingzhe was full of doubts, but since the other party directly acknowledged his statement, he would not show mercy and started directly to the main topic of today.
"Since you think so, I'll just say it directly.
"I've spent a lot of money pursuing you over the past three years. Since you still don't agree to be my girlfriend, should we settle the bill?"
Yesterday was the first day of the trial launch, and the number of collections increased by 200+. After 12 hours of fake chasing, the number of collections exceeded . Thank you all for your support. I was so moved that I cried.
In addition, since the book was published, everyone has given feedback that the original character's poor character setting affects the reading experience. Let's also explain it uniformly:
The original character is bad. I didn't expect that people would be so disgusted with it before I started writing the book (after all, it was the original character who died at the beginning, not the protagonist). I didn't think there was any problem with the character when I was designing it, and even now I still can't detect that it's a bad point when I read it myself. I can only say that it's just the poor cognition of the writer himself, not intentionally disgusting everyone.
But since I have already written this far, and the outline has been decided long ago, it is difficult to modify it, so I can only make the related plots appear as little as possible in the future, and write more about the main line of Go (but this chapter and the following chapters cannot be helped, as they are the beginning of a line and must be described with enough words). Please be a little more tolerant, and this bad impression should fade as I write more.
Finally, I will update three chapters today, so that I won’t be criticized by everyone for not staying on the main line of Go in the end. I am a newcomer and I can’t handle pressure well... I am asking for your understanding with my sincerity in updating more chapters!
