After Being Pestered by My Gloomy and Clingy Roommate 35p2

Chapter 35: [‘Aphasia’ Deepwater Extra Chapter] p2

The night she confirmed that she had fallen for Chu Qingzi, Yu Jiang had lain alone in her bed and had very rationally and seriously analyzed the possibility of their development.

The conclusion she came to was very obvious.

The possibility of her and Chu Qingzi being together was zero.

That night, she had cried her eyes out in her bed.

The next day, she began to find excuses to deceive her crush, saying that she had only cried because she had watched a very sad movie.

After that day, Yu Jiang began to become a liar full of lies, and also bravely confined her just-confirmed heart within the safe friend zone where she could continue to maintain an intimate relationship with her crush.

Yu Mianying agreed to go eat. Before she got up, she asked one last question.

“What is the real reason you don’t dare to confess to little Chu?”

Yu Jiang, who had been seen through, finally gave in.

“If I confess to her and fail, I won’t be able to continue to be good friends with her. I don’t want to get to that point. Anyway, we’ll definitely separate after graduation, so it’s fine for me and her to maintain this relationship until graduation.”

She had said these words to Chi Jing.

Ms. Yu loved her so much and had always respected her choices and decisions since she was a child.

This time, she would definitely understand and be considerate of her, just like Chi Jing.

“Are you sure you won’t be in contact after you graduate? I mean, are you sure that after you graduate, you and little Chu can’t continue to be friends, right?”

Yu Jiang didn’t know why she was repeating what she had said, but she still replied obediently.

“Yes, it’s definitely impossible to be friends anymore.”

“Then just confess on graduation day.”

Yu Jiang: ??

Yu Mianying was reasonable.

“Anyway, you won’t be in contact after graduation, so no matter if you confess or not, the result is the same, right?

“If you don’t confess, the probability of you two breaking off contact after graduation is, as you said, as high as 100%. Then if you confess, the probability of you two breaking off contact will become 99.99%.”

“Why is it 0.01% less?”

“0.01% is the probability that she also likes you.”

Yu Mianying got up.

“Yu Xiaojiang, don’t you think this bet sounds very exciting? A probability as low as 0.01%. Once you win the bet, you’ll become the one in a million, the hundred percent.”

She pulled Yu Jiang towards the dining room.

“You think it’s good to maintain the status quo. Of course I will respect your choice. In that case, then let’s wait. Wait until graduation, and then confess.

“As for the mismatch in conditions, let’s talk about it first. After you’ve talked, hug more, kiss more, do more. Turn your four years of bitter unrequited love into a substantive, retaliatory act. In this life, remember the four-character true words: live in the moment. We can’t say for sure what will happen in the future, so be a little selfish and leave the choice to your future self.”

She was like a witch in a dark forest, mixing potions with various materials, bewitching the explorer who had accidentally entered this jungle.

“So you will confess on that day, right, brave Yu Xiaojiang?”

The second after she was pushed into the dining chair by Yu Mianying, Yu Jiang made a decision.

“Okay! I will confess on graduation day! You’re right! Anyway, there’s nothing to lose!”

Yu Mianying’s lips curved in satisfaction, and at the same time, she rubbed her fluffy head in praise.

“The most sincere blessings to the most perfect you. I wish you a successful graduation confession in advance! On that day, you’ll— mmph—”

Yu Jiang quickly covered her mouth, her ears exploding with red like fireworks. “Ms. Yu, what are you talking about?”

Yu Mianying’s eyes showed disgust, and she pulled her hand down.

“Baby, you’re already an adult. you can do things that make you happy. If you two are in a relationship and don’t do it, are you planning to have a platonic relationship?”

Yu Jiang’s ears were still red. “Oh, let’s just let this kind of thing happen naturally. It seems a bit too fast to do that right after we’ve confirmed our relationship.”

If Ms. Yu knew about the intimate things she and Chu Qingzi had done, and heard her shameless words, she would definitely roll her eyes to the sky.

Unfortunately, Yu Mianying didn’t know. Hearing her say this, she was really fooled.

“That’s true. Little Chu looks gentle and well-behaved. You also said she’s always been rejecting others, so there’s a high probability she’s an emotional idiot. She probably doesn’t know much about this kind of thing either.”

Yu Jiang nodded in agreement. “That’s right. She’s definitely an emotional idiot.”

Yu Mianying: “That’s also good. Two little fools, growing together, progressing together, exploring together, harmonious and mutually helpful.”

Yu Jiang blinked her large eyes and looked at her cutely. “Since you already know, and I’ve also explained it clearly to you, then in the future, I won’t talk to you about me and her, okay? Dear Ms. Yu~”

“Of course. I have no interest in your bitter unrequited love story. When there’s new progress in your relationship, then you can share it with me.”

“Yes, thank you, you considerate Ms. Yu.”

The topic was over, and the two prepared to eat.

When she saw that the food on the dining table had clearly not been touched, Yu Mianying understood. “No wonder your dad wasn’t here just now. Go ahead, call your dad over to eat.”

After lunch, Yu Jiang went back to the living room to get the phone box.

Yu Mianying glanced at it and asked.

“When did your phone break? Why didn’t you tell me? I only found out after little Chu told me.”

Yu Jiang was confused. “My phone isn’t broken. Did she tell you that?”

“Yes. I originally thought I shouldn’t accept such a valuable thing, but then I thought it was for you, and it should be up to you to decide how to handle it, so I accepted it for you first. You can communicate with little Chu yourself.”

Yu Jiang returned to her bedroom.

She hadn’t gone out today, so she sat directly at the head of the bed.

She opened WeChat and her fingertips began to type.

【When you have time later, give me a call.】

Just as the message was sent, a video call came in.

“Good noon, baby.”

After greeting her, Yu Jiang got straight to the point and asked.

“Why did you bring so many things to my house? Even if you have money, you shouldn’t spend it like that. It’s too much.”*

As she spoke, she showed the phone box to the camera. “And, why did you buy me a phone out of the blue? My phone isn’t broken.”

Chu Qingzi asked her, “Is your phone really not broken?”

Yu Jiang, who had long since forgotten what excuse she had used last night, “It’s not broken.”

Chu Qingzi: “Since your phone isn’t broken, why did it just so happen to automatically shut down the second after I asked you if you missed me when we were video calling last night?”

Yu Jiang: “…”

She pouted angrily, “This question, didn’t you already know the answer when we were brushing our teeth just now?”

Chu Qingzi began to be unreasonable. “You told me with your eyes just now. I’m a bit greedy. I want to hear you say it. So did you miss me after you got home?”

She seemed to have tasted the sweetness of “soft threats.” After asking, she said faintly, “Baby, it’ll still be a long time before I get home—”

“I missed you, I missed you. I missed you! Is that enough! If you say such things again, I’ll block you directly!”

Yu Jiang said it all in one breath, shy and angry. She heard a gasp from the direction of the door.

She turned to look and happened to see Yu Mianying’s tactful departing back.

Yu Jiang: ??

Yu Jiang: !!

Mom, let me explain! We’re really not dating!!!

Chu Qingzi didn’t hear the sound, only saw Yu Jiang’s reaction.

“What’s wrong, baby?”

Yu Jiang felt it was not necessary to tell her about this. “It’s nothing. Did you remember what I just said? If you say such cursed words again next time, I’m really going to block you!”

“You misunderstood. I was going to say, it’ll still be a long time before I get home. I’ll be thinking of you all the way.”

Hmph, as if a ghost would believe you.

Yu Jiang put down the phone box.

“I can’t accept the phone. I’ll give it back to you after the holiday is over.”

“Alright. It’s fine if you don’t accept it. Then can you promise me not to suddenly hang up on me like that again in the future?”

“I know. If there are no unexpected circumstances next time, I won’t.”

One matter was resolved, but there was still another question that had not been answered.

Yu Jiang reminded her.

“Do you buy such a large pile of things as a gift every time you visit a friend’s house?”

Chu Qingzi’s tone was as usual, and it was hard to tell if she was telling the truth or a lie.

“Yes, I do. But I forgot to buy you snacks. I’ll have someone send some over in the afternoon.”

Yu Jiang quickly stopped her.

“It’s already enough. If you buy anything else, my house will be full. That way, the next time you invite me to your house, I won’t have the face to go.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Yu Jiang bit her own lip as a punishment.

You stupid mouth!

What nonsense are you talking about again!

She didn’t even say she was going to invite you to her house!

What are you assuming here!!!

She was a little embarrassed for a moment and didn’t notice that her lips were still being bitten by her.

Chu Qingzi on the other end stared at her delicate, pink lips without blinking.

She almost pleaded, “Baby, don’t bite.”

Yu Jiang subconsciously let go and, using the video chat screen, began to check the place she had bitten.

“What’s wrong? Did I bite it until it broke?”

“No. It’s just that I want to bite too. Don’t bite it for me to see. I’ll want to drive back and help you bite it.”

Yu Jiang hung up the call with a dark face.

Then she picked it up again and listened to Chu Qingzi on the other end, apologizing pitifully, “I’m sorry, baby. I was wrong. I shouldn’t have said such things again.”

Yu Jiang’s large eyes were wide. “Next time you say such things, I’ll block you too!”

Chu Qingzi lowered her head, exceptionally obedient.

“I was wrong. I’m sorry, baby. I won’t say it again. Don’t block me. I won’t dare to again.”

Seeing that her apology was sincere enough, Yu Jiang reluctantly forgave her.

Just as well, because of her own careless words just now, she remembered a certain possibility that Ms. Yu had mentioned.

Now was a good time to ask.

She started the topic very naturally.

“You’ve met my parents. What do you think? They’re very nice, right?”

“Yes, they’re very nice.”

“What about you? I don’t think I’ve ever heard you mention your parents much before. How’s your relationship with them?”

“Also very good.”

Yu Jiang was not very satisfied with this answer.

She pressed on.

“Then do they interfere with your decisions? For example, if they originally wanted you to study finance, but you planned to study acting. I’ve seen rich second-generation and family conflicts like this in TV dramas. If a similar conflict arises in your family, how do you resolve it?”

“They listen to me.”

Yu Jiang very timely made a surprised reaction. “They listen to you on everything?”

“Yes, on everything.”

With the person in question grading the test paper, Ms. Yu’s problem-solving steps from not long ago were marked with a big red X.

—If Chu Qingzi really liked her, she didn’t need to worry about whether her parents would object.

Yu Jiang chatted with her about some other things for a while. Seeing that the call had been going on for almost half an hour, she stopped the topic, said goodbye to her, and hung up.

She went out to find Ms. Yu.

In the living room, which had originally been just her, there was now Chi Jing, who was also eating melon seeds.

Yu Jiang didn’t call her name. “When did you get here?”

Chi Jing looked back at her and casually gave her all the melon seeds in her palm.

“I just got here not long ago. I’m a little thirsty from eating too many melon seeds. Are there any drinks in the fridge?”

Yu Jiang thought for a moment. “No, but there are still oranges in the fridge. Do you want to just make orange juice?”

“Okay. Do you want some? Auntie Yu, do you want some?”

Neither of them wanted any.

After getting their answer, Chi Jing went into the kitchen alone to deal with the juice.

Yu Jiang sat down in the seat she had just left and put the melon seeds in her hand back into the bag.

“Dear Ms. Yu, what did you want to find me for just now?”

Yu Mianying was very good at acting. She pinched her throat and imitated her, “I~ miss~ you~ I~ miss~ you~”

Yu Jiang: “…”

She was very helpless. “Don’t make fun of me. You also act cute in front of Dad. We’re even.”

It was Yu Mianying’s turn to be choked.

She quickly found her proper emotion and asked, “You should have asked little Chu, right? About her parents.”

Yu Jiang: “Yes, I just asked. Her parents are very good to her, so I’m sure she doesn’t like me.”

Yu Mianying had also accepted this fact and didn’t have much of a reaction. “I was going to check on you. Knowing that little Chu’s easily misunderstood actions are not out of affection, are you in a good mood?”

Yu Jiang was frank and strong. “I’ve always known. And after listening to you analyze it so objectively just now, I feel that she’s a really good person. I like her even more.”

Yu Mianying rolled her eyes to the sky. “…”

Damn it. I worked so hard to raise this person, and in the end, I raised a love-struck brain that even a zombie wouldn’t bother to bite.

The next day.

Yu Jiang and Yu Mianying went to see Jiang Muyin, who was living in the cemetery.

In the photo, the young girl was smiling gently and brightly.

Yu Jiang felt that this photo was very familiar.

Only after she had sat back in the car did she suddenly remember that big sister Jiang had personally shown her this photo.

It was taken by her good friend.

Perhaps because the person in front of her was the person she liked, her smile was particularly brilliant.

Her mood became low again.

She turned her head to look out the window and asked in a hoarse voice.

“Mom, do you think people really become ghosts after they die?”

She asked so softly that her voice had already drifted out the window with the wind before it could reach Yu Mianying’s ears.

If people can really stay in the world in the form of ghosts after they die to fulfill their last wishes.

Then big sister Jiang and her good friend should be living very happily in the north right now.

In a certain room thousands of kilometers away from B City.

The person who was sitting and doing exercises suddenly sneezed.

The person who was typing on the keyboard behind her casually took the scarf that was hanging on the back of the chair and wrapped it around her pale, almost transparent neck.

“Are you cold?”

She shook her head and joked gently.

“Maybe someone is thinking of me.”

A cat’s meow came from a distance. Soon, a snow-white cat was nestled in her arms.

She stroked the little cat.

“So it was Little Yu who was thinking of me.”
