Chapter 19 The Bigger Debt
I ran to her place, already crying so hard I couldn’t speak.
Jiang Yue reached out and petted my head, indulgent as always.
“You still have time to cry? Have you paid back the money yet?”
I flattened my mouth and cried even louder.
“Jiang Yue, how does your 36.5°C mouth say words that are minus 270°C?”
Jiang Yue rolled her eyes.
After listening to me sob through the whole story,
she tossed away the sunflower seed shells and patted my head again.
“No prospects.”
“How am I no prospects?” I shot back.
She looked me up and down, her tone full of disappointment.
“The idea that you’re not good enough for him—is that your thought, other people’s, or did he actually think that?”
“Other people’s… and kind of mine too.”
“Did he agree?”
“Huh?”
“Huh what? I’m asking if he agreed with your opinion.”
“No… he didn’t.”
“There you go.” Jiang Yue twisted the soft flesh on my arm hard.
“When it comes to whether you’re good enough, you don’t have the right to say you aren’t, because you can’t make that decision for him. And no one else has the right either, because none of them are him.”
“Only if he thinks you’re good enough—then no matter what, you are.”
“On this matter, what matters is what he thinks. Who are you to decide for him?”
“If you ask me, you don’t just owe him a pot.”
I looked at her, confused. “What else?”
“You still owe him a girlfriend!”
“?”
“Because of one thought in your head, you cost him his girlfriend. If you don’t owe him one, who does?”
I…
Fine.
Jiang Yue sent me off in the car.
“Go back and talk to him properly. If he’s really angry, just tie up your hair—that’ll convince him he’s not angry anymore.”
What kind of dangerous advice was that?
My face burned bright red. I couldn’t even lift my head.
