The onlooker couples posted the dispute between Lin Zimao and Jiang Xuan on the forum, and there was a new topic about them on the forum.
【Watching from close range, Jiang Xuan finally talked to Lin Zimao, Lin Zimao admitted that he purely likes Jiang Xuan’s face!】
Some people say that Lin Zimao is too straight, while others say that Jiang Xuan is too arrogant, how can people pursue him if they don’t like his face?
They are all a group of people who are jumping up and down in the forum and take joy in calamity and delight in disaster1幸災樂禍 (xìng zāi lè huò): lit. to take joy in calamity and delight in disaster (idiom); fig. to rejoice in other people’s misfortune; schadenfreude; gloat at/over others’misfortune; be gratified by others’trouble; Refers to people who lack goodwill and feel happy when others encounter disasters., while watching the excitement, they are fanning the flames and trying to make things bigger2看熱鬧不嫌事大 (kàn rènào bù xián shì dà): lit. It’s not a big deal to watch the excitement (people join the fun because it doesn’t concern them, no mater how big things became, it won’t affect them); fan the flames while watching the sense of bustle, even trying to make things worse..
– This time, Jiang Xuan threw the lunch box to the ground on the spot, wasting all Lin Zimao’s heart.
– Am I the only one who thought I smelled grilled chicken wings? It’s a hundred times more fragrant than the cafeteria, makes me drool just looking at it.
– When Lin Zimao was packing the lunch box, I felt so distressed, I thought I would feel sorry for Jiang Xuan.
– Jiang Xuan is too arrogant, Lin Zimao works so hard, but to be fair, saying that he just fancy his face, it’s really hurt, if I was Jiang Xuan, even I wouldn’t be able to bear it.
– If Jiang Xuan didn’t have this stunning face, would he become an ordinary person3泯然於眾 (mǐn rán yú zhòng): T/N: May or may not be a typo for the idiom 泯然眾矣 (mǐn rán zhòng yǐ), to be reduced to ordinary people; to lose all talents and become no different from ordinary people. It refers to a person who was originally talented and attracted much attention, but later gradually faded out of people’s sight because of his talent, and became just like ordinary people.?
– Upstairs, nonsense, School Grass Jiang is also very awesome, the mechas he designed have won numerous awards, he was number one in his grade from childhood to adulthood, and is an influential figure4風雲人物 (fēng yún rén wù): the man (or woman) of the moment (idiom); influential figure; Refers to a person who is active for a while and whose speech and behavior can affect the overall situation. in our high school, when he graduated, many junior brother and junior sister cry and waste their makeup for him.
In any case, Lin Zimao and Jiang Xuan have a falling out, because of the issue of fancying face.
Lin Zimao doesn’t want things to be this way either, but long-term pain is worse than short-term pain, he hopes that Jiang Xuan will gradually forget about him, and with time, it won’t be as difficult, he will meet someone even better than himself in the future, at that time he will truly forget about him.
They are only twenty years old now, and they still have over a hundred years left in their lives, life is so long.
He thought so, but when Lin Zimao thought about someone kissing Jiang Xuan, someone occupying his place, and someone enjoying the warm embrace that should have belonged to him, making delicious chicken wings for others, he wanted to cry in pain.
In the future, he won’t pet Jiaoyan anymore, and will probably help others raise their cats instead.
It will definitely be like this.
The more he think about it, the sadder he becomes, the air pressure around Lin Zimao became lower.
But he couldn’t think of a better way, the purpose of coming to planet Feige in the first place was not to find someone to fall in love with and build a family, but he wanted to clear up Lin You’s name, who would have thought that Jiang Xuan would become the only exception, made him attracted to him, and moved his heart.
When he was depressed, he would lie on the table and pretend to be asleep, Su Ran and Wang Yi have been playing with him for almost a semester, and they also know that he is usually not like this, today at noon, they heard people say that he was cruelly rejected by Jiang Xuan, several people formed a small group and started a discussion on whether to comfort Lin Zimao or not.
Su Ran: What to do? Brother Zimao is so depressed, I can almost see the dark clouds above his head.
Wang Yi: I just tried to talk to him and he pretended he didn’t hear me.
Su Ran: Maybe he’s really sad, did he really like Senior Jiang’s face?
Top Student No. 2: I don’t think so, maybe he fell in love with him during military training, Senior Jiang was quite nice to him at that time.
Top Student No. 3: How do you know?
Top Student No. 2: I see it with my eyes, do you still remember the night when brother Zimao got sunburned? It was the day we watched the documentary for the first time.
Su Ran: Remember, why?
Top Student No. 2: I’ve always been afraid of gory scenes, I didn’t want to see it, so I turned around and looked back, and then I saw Senior Jiang spraying tranquilizers on Lin Zimao! The two of them had crossed paths at that time! At that time, I didn’t know that Senior Jiang was such a cold person.
Wang Yi: Damn it, you didn’t tell us such an important thing.
Top Student No. 2: I don’t think it’s important, it’s not a big problem for a senior to help a junior.
Wang Yi: But now the problem is big, he is pursuing Senior Jiang, but Senior Jiang doesn’t like him! This is the problem!
Su Ran: But there’s nothing we can do if Senior Jiang doesn’t like him, right? Emotional matters can’t be forced.
Top Student No. 4: Yes, it’s tragic.
Wang Yi: It’s so miserable, why don’t we go out and have fun tonight? It happens to be the weekend, let’s have a meal, sing a song, and have a drink, maybe Lin Zimao will be fine? Isn’t it just that he is unsuccessful at pursuing someone, I have a lot of experience in relieving uncomfortable emotions, just go after another one.
Su Ran: Really miserable.
Top Student No. 2: Really miserable.
Top Student No. 3: Really miserable.
Top Student No. 4: Really miserable.
Wang Yi: …
The group of five asked Lin Zimao if he wanted to go to eat with them before class ended.
Lin Zimao said yes, he doesn’t want to go home right now, he didn’t know how to face Jiang Xuan, obviously, they still exchanged a kiss when they left the house in the morning.
Their plan for tonight is very good, one-stop service for eating, singing and drinking.
Lin Zimao has always been in a very low mood, everyone was originally here for him, but now it’s hard to continue like this.
While eating, he mistook a spicy green pepper for a cucumber, and it was so spicy that it made his throat burn and tears stream down his face, he drank more than half a bottle of water to relieve it.
When going to sing, he would sit in a corner and zone out, unable to bring the rest of the group’s excitement, Lin Zimao isolated himself in his own little world, not wanting to come out, and others didn’t want to enter either.
Later he drank by himself, bottle after bottle, his expression didn’t change, and it was unclear if he was drunk or not.
In the end, he took a taxi home by himself and didn’t let Su Ran, Wang Yi, and others to see him off.
Even when he was drunk, he remembered not to disclose his and Jiang Xuan’s address.
After Lin Zimao returned home, he found it desolate, nobody was there, only the household robot regularly playing with Jiaoyan using a laser pointer, Jiaoyan would chase after the red dot for a while but eventually got bored and lay down, not moving at all.
Seeing Lin Zimao come back, it turn around at his feet, Lin Zimao wandered back to his room to rest, and fell asleep without even taking a shower.
Don’t want to think about anything, just think of it as a breakup.
He won’t be sad when he fall asleep.
After Jiang Xuan finished his class in the afternoon, he went to the laboratory to continue tinkering with his model, he will submit his model to the design competition next week, he watched the model grow from scratch, and Lin Zimao also contributed to it.
He was very upset, why did he say that, when he thought of Lin Zimao’s bright eyes becoming dim5暗淡無光 (àn dàn wú guāng): having lost its previous lustre and brilliance; dim and unattractive; fall into the shade; dim and dark., he felt so uncomfortable that he could hardly breathe, he used to be confident about his face, but now he has no confidence anymore.
Some people say that when you fall in love, your IQ is equal to zero, why does he feel that he is not zero, but a negative number, don’t know how to solve it when something happens.
Lin Zimao liked his face from the beginning.
He is very conflicted, can’t get his emotions up no matter what.
After putting away his model, Jiang Xuan took the initiative to ask Ji Chen out.
Ji Chen is such a gossip, of course, he knows the little news about the two of them in the forum.
After receiving a communication call from his best friend, Ji Chen came to pick up Jiang Xuan, as soon as he got into the car, he started gossiping.
“Did you two have a fight?” A few days ago, he was still happy6展顏 (zhǎn yán): refers to a smile, a relaxed mood, a happy look on the face; a cheerful appearance. Describe a happy mood. for Lin Zimao, but today he’s back to his old ice-cold self.
Jiang Xuan responded: “Um.”
“You two can actually fight, Lin Zimao’s temper is actually quite good, you also don’t seem to be able to fight with people, the conflict between the two of you has caused your character to collapse7一瀉千裡 (yí xiè qiān lǐ): bold and flowing; flow down vigorously; describe a river flowing straight down, now used as a metaphor for the unrestrained and free-flowing writing style, also generally refers to a plummeting with a strong momentum..” Ji Chen is very confused, he had never seen Jiang Xuan in conflict with anyone since he was a child.
After meeting Lin Zimao, he made more and more exceptions, Ji Chen found it incredible, Lin Zimao’s influence on his brothers was too great.
Jiang Xuan: “It’s just a fight.”
Ji Chen question closely: “What’s the problem?”
Jiang Xuan remained silent, staring at the night scene outside the window, but his thoughts still stuck on the words he said when they had a fight at noon.
Lin Zimao’s words ‘I just like your face’ kept lingering in his mind and kept ringing.
He closed his eyes, feeling very uncomfortable.
If he didn’t have this face, or if someone with a better face than his came out, would Lin Zimao doesn’t like him anymore?
Ji Chen has now discovered, Jiang Xuan is a closed gourd8悶葫蘆 (mèn hú lu): lit. closed gourd; fig. enigma; complete mystery; taciturn person; Metaphors are difficult to guess but confusing words or things., even after asking for a long time, he couldn’t explain clearly, which made him anxious for them both.
However, he remembered Lin Zimao’s rejection of others’ confession that morning.
“Lin Zimao rejected the person who insulted you this morning, why are the two of you still still making trouble, because of this? It shouldn’t be.”
Jiang Xuan shook his head: “No, it’s my problem, I was foolish.”
It’s his own fault, not Lin Zimao’s, from the very beginning, Lin Zimao said that what he liked was his face.
Now this reason is haunting him like a curse, it is impossible to get rid of it, which makes people suffocate.
Ji Chen happened to be going to play car racing tonight, but he took Jiang Xuan with him.
Jiang Xuan rarely engages in such thrilling activities, but tonight he wanted to play a little bit.
He told Ji Chen: “I’ll take your place.”
Ji Chen: “Then, you take care.”
It’s not that Jiang Xuan can’t drive a racing car, he just doesn’t play very often.
As soon as Jiang Xuan just went up to test the car, there was someone else beside Ji Chen.
It’s Cheng Chen.
His eyes have already landed on Jiang Xuan’s car: “Brother Ji Chen, why are you here too?”
Ji Chen had just sat in the passenger seat when he was suddenly held down by three people: “That’s not very nice of you.”
“Brother Ji Chen, I’m sorry, I’m taking Brother Jiang Xuan’s passenger seat tonight, so please wait here for a while.”
Ji Chen thought of Jiang Xuan, who was in a bad mood, Cheng Chen ran to touch his eyebrows9觸他眉頭 (chù tā méitóu): do anything to anger him; T/N: May or may not be a typo for 觸霉頭 (chù méitóu), (dialectal) to have a stroke of bad luck; to be unfortunate. at this time, it’s really irrational, at this time, in his heart, Cheng Chen was no longer the Cheng Chen he had known before, and he didn’t want to remind him.
Ji Chen pretended to be unhappy and said: “Hey, you can’t treat your brother like this.”
After Cheng Chen learned that Jiang Xuan rejected Lin Zimao, he was in a great mood today, it seems that Lin Zimao is not liked by Jiang Xuan, it’s just a pity that after what he did before, Lin Zimao was actually not expelled from school.
Looks like it’s time to keep in touch with Jiang Xuan, he was extremely upset after being told off by Jiang Xuan some time ago, now he’s happy to see Lin Zimao being rejected.
This kind of sensationalist10嘩眾取寵 (huá zhòng qǔ chǒng): sensationalism; to try to please the crowd with claptrap; playing to the gallery; demagogy; curry favour by claptrap; talk big to impress people; Catering to the masses with exaggerated remarks and defrauding their trust and support. should leave their world as soon as possible.
Jiang Xuan thought Ji Chen would sit in the driver’s seat, but he didn’t expect that it was Cheng Chen who came in.
He looked at him expressionlessly and said: “Get off, bring in Ji Chen.”
Of course, Cheng Chen didn’t want to, it’s not easy to be alone with Jiang Xuan, it was also late at night.
“Brother Jiang Xuan, I have something to tell you, this his race is only for twenty laps, you can’t be so stingy.”
Jiang Xuan suddenly thought of Cheng Chen sending people to slander Lin Zimao on the Internet, and said: “Suit yourself, I hope you don’t regret it.”
Cheng Chen was in a happy mood, he also deliberately posted it to Moments, making it public and visible to everyone.
Others’ interpretation is naturally: Jiang Xuan will eventually return to his bamboo horse, no one else can take him away, Lin Zimao is nothing!
The competition is to fly around an abandoned high-rise building, there are twenty laps in total, whoever finishes first wins.
Jiang Xuan started the car, with a whoosh, he rushed out.
Cheng Chen, who was full of confidence, had just sat down firmly, as soon as he finished posting to Moments, the communicator in his hand fell into the car!
Jiang Xuan didn’t even look at him, with a stern face, other than the action of accelerating, turning, spinning 720 degrees in the air, then accelerating, spinning, and drifting again, he didn’t do anything else.
At this time, Cheng Chen’s eyes are about to spin, Jiang Xuan also turned off the passenger seat protection mode.
“Jiang Xuan! Drive slower! Aahhh! Slow down! Aaahhhhh! Turn on the protection mode!”
Jiang Xuan asked him: “Why do you want to find people to slander Lin Zimao on social platforms?”
Cheng Chen: “Aaahhh!”
Jiang Xuan continues to accelerate: “He has never offended you.”
“Cheng Chen, your behavior makes me feel terrible, and I can’t agree with it.”
“I’ve investigated all the things you’ve done behind the scenes, from now on, we’re just neighbors, I’ve never liked you before, I don’t like you now, and I won’t in the future, don’t make any more small moves, next time I find out, it may not be as simple as turning you upside down and knocking you unconscious, calling your brother won’t work either.”
When Cheng Chen was shaken by the car, he still had to listen to Jiang Xuan’s words of warning, and his heart felt completely cold.
Twenty laps later, Cheng Chen’s legs were so weak that he rolled to the ground from the car, and threw up on the spot.
However, Jiang Xuan left without looking back.
After Cheng Chen finished vomiting, he realized belatedly, he was warned by Jiang Xuan?
Serves you right, stay away from JX and LZM. JX is really devoted to LZM…
Happy New Year everyone, may everyone have another fulfilling year!!
