Dad, please try harder

Chapter 22 Ding Linlang: I want to eat ice cubes!
Qian Quan bought iced green tea for Song Xi.

Occasionally he would watch short videos, so he naturally heard the teasing and even teasing meaning of Song Xi's "Bing's" words, but he had no interest in picking up this rotten meme.

"Tell me, what's wrong with Ding Linlang?" Qian Quan cut to the chase.

"You really care about Ding Linlang. To be honest, I really envy her." Song Xi said leisurely.

"Song Xi, I suggest that we should stop playing around the corner."

"Well, it seems that you really hate me now, and you don't want to stay with me for one more minute." Song Xi laughed at herself, "But I can understand you, after all, I did that to you."

Qian Quan was silent.

"But, Qian Quan, you may not know that in order to punish myself, I copied your poem 100 times."

"Does it make sense for you to say this now?"

"Yes," Song Xi stepped forward, "I will probably break up with Sun Shaokang before November."

Qian Quan didn't care, but he thought of Ding Linlang's reminder, and he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Song Xi's gourd.

"Don't get me wrong. I broke up with him. It has nothing to do with you. I didn't ask you to forgive me tonight. In fact, I don't regret being with Sun Shaokang now. I and him get what we need."

Qian Quan couldn't hold back a sneer.

"Do you look down on me?" Song Xi smiled lightly, "Actually, it's not as dirty as you think, at least I haven't had that kind of relationship with him. He pursued me to win you and beat you, and I agreed. He, because I am about to go to university in the most prosperous city in China, I need the latest iPhone and a nice bag, and I don’t want to be squeezed out by new classmates and new roommates.”

"I'm not interested in these things." Qian Quan said bluntly, he now understands that Song Xi has been somewhat brainwashed by Guo Jingming's works.

"Be patient, I will talk about Ding Linlang later." Song Xi blamed, "Do you still remember that I told you before that my favorite city is Zhonghai, and the ideal university is China International Studies University? "

"and then?"

"That's because I came to China Shipping when I was 12 years old. I probably stood in the front seat, facing the Oriental Pearl Tower, Shanghai Center, World Financial Center and Jinmao Tower. I was so shocked.

"After that, I have always been obsessed with this place, and when I grew up, I made up my mind to come to Zhonghai in the future, and then I have a house of my own near there..."

Song Xi looked across the river and spoke softly about her ambitions, "I hope I can see those buildings every day before I go to sleep and when I wake up."

In Qian Quan's thinking, usually only a few boys who have not been beaten by the society will set up this kind of ambition when they are visiting the Bund. A Ma Ge or Dong Ge.

Now he finds himself underestimating Song Xi's ambition and imagination.

"But I checked, and the houses nearby cost more than 20 yuan per square meter. Do you know what this is?

"It's people of our background, if there is no special encounter, it is impossible to live in that kind of house if we work hard for the rest of our lives."

Song Xi took a sip of iced green tea and continued: "For example, you and I, we go to college normally, and then graduate to work, how many years do you think we need to struggle to buy a house of our own in Zhonghai, not to mention the nearby As far as the whole Zhonghai is concerned, how many years will it take to buy a house with a reasonable school district and location?"

"Does this have something to do with me and Ding Linlang?" Qian Quan frowned.

"It's so relevant! Qian Quan, have you heard a saying that in our current society, men can choose to be backward compatible, while women can only choose to be upwardly compatible, especially in the current situation where the ratio of male to female is imbalanced?" Next, parallel and compatible, it is already true love."

"What exactly are you trying to say?" Qian Quan felt that Song Xi was extremely strange, even stranger than the day she and Sun Shaokang made the official announcement.

"What I want to say is, what will you and Ding Linlang do when we enter the society after graduation?"

"What does this have to do with you?"

Song Xi didn't answer directly, but said to herself: "Ding Linlang's qualifications are actually very good, in some respects even I feel ashamed, if she is willing, she can also break through the barriers in her future life and realize the leap of personal class. "

There is one thing to say, this is the first time Qian Quan has heard of the term "class transition".

People say that girls of the same age are two years older than boys. Qian Quan feels that Song Xi is 20 years older than him.

"If that's all you're going to say to me tonight, I think that's the end of our conversation."

Qian Quan has lost his patience. Even if Song Xi has some truths in what he said, it has nothing to do with him at this moment.

There are things to care about. At the age of 30, there is a life to ponder at the age of 30.

As for Ding Linlang, she also has her own choice.

"You've come here, so what if you hear me finish?" Song Xi glanced at Qian Quan, "And I'll finish right away, so I won't delay you for too long."

"Okay, tell me."

Song Xi hesitated for a while, then exhaled lightly, and said, "Then I won't lay the groundwork, and just say what I have to say..."

After a pause, he continued: "In order to better integrate into the university and into this city, I chose Sun Shaokang, who was my first investment; but I obviously like you in my heart, but I gave up on you. You are me." the price.

"However, Sun Shaokang is a good investment only in Wanghuai. Once he arrives in a truly international metropolis like Zhonghai, he will not be enough, so I will break up with him..."

Qian Quan felt a tremor in Sanguan, and blurted out, "Do you have a new investment target?"

"You don't need to worry about it. In short, Qian Quan, I hope you remember one sentence. For people of our background, if there is no talent that defies the sky and adapts to the times, it will be impossible to break through conventional means. The solidified class barrier realizes the leap of personal class.

"For example, my idol Deng Wendi, while improving her personal abilities, she judged the situation, and through contacting and investing in the most successful men, she completed a gorgeous turn, left the original class in one fell swoop, and successfully entered the upper class. After the investment income is obtained, Resolutely withdraw and find true love."

Qian Quan was stunned for three seconds, and said, "No, why are you telling me these things?"

Song Xi rolled his eyes at him and explained: "Successful men are certainly the best investment, but they also carry the greatest risk. They are cunning, dangerous, and ruthless. If you make a wrong step, you may be wiped out by them. There are no bones left. You don't want to, and it's impossible to spend your whole life with such a person.

"In the end, after you get the return on investment, you still have to find your own anchor. I say this, do you understand?"

"I don't understand, and I still haven't figured it out, why did you tell me this." Qian Quan said.

Song Xi laughed suddenly, and said: "Then let me be more straightforward, Qian Quan, I will give you seven years. During these seven years, you can fall in love, chase girls, and have fun casually, but don't get married. After seven years , if I have a house of my own on the opposite side, I hope you can put aside everything and live in with me, and then live happily with me from now on... Now, do you understand?"

Hearing this, Qian Quan was stunned for a full five seconds, and the whole thing was a speechless non-still picture movement!

When she talked about it in a roundabout way, she actually wanted to take care of herself after seven years? ? ?

This reversal almost reached the point where she really cried to me!

This brain circuit can no longer be described as weird and absurd, right?

How did she combine rational reality with naivety and ridiculousness so confidently and logically?

"The sun has set, and I am your fishing boat, your anchor...Qian Quan, I realized in the process of copying your poem over and over again, that everything is predestined, and I need your boat, I need your anchor even more!"

"I copied it from the Internet." Qian Quan said.

"But the emotion is real, isn't it?"

"Song Xi, I also have something to say bluntly. Even if you buy all the buildings opposite, I will not be with you. I have no intention of commenting on your plans for the future, and I respect the choices of individual destiny, but I have no intention of commenting on your future plans. All your emotions have been blown away with the balloon that day, I will not harass you from now on, and you don't want to hurt me, I wish you good luck, let's end here today, goodbye."

After Qian Quan finished speaking, he turned and left.

"You will definitely change your mind." Song Xi said softly to Qian Quan's back.

At this time, on the Huangpu River, a large boat slowly approached from a distance, and then slowly drove away.

Qian Quan followed the flow of people, and just as he went down the stairs, he saw a familiar slender figure standing under the street lamp.

Ding Linlang!
"Why are you here?" Qian Quan was stunned for a moment, and hurried over.

"Why can't I come?"

"when did you come?"

"When you buy her green tea, oh, when you give her iced green tea."

When Ding Linlang mentioned the word "Bing's", he deliberately emphasized his tone.

Qian Quan chuckled and said, "Go back."

"I'm thirsty too, please give me something to drink."

"Okay, what do you want to drink?"

"I want ice cubes!"

"..."
