A Girl's Worries

Bai Hui touched her ears, confirming that Liu Chang'an had just called her promiscuous.

Bai Hui watched Liu Chang'an's retreating figure and angrily chased after him.

"What did you just say?" Bai Hui caught up with Liu Chang'an on a slope, ran in front of him, and waved her arms up and down to block him.

Bai Hui was panting a little. Who told him to be so tall and walk so fast? He was bound to tear his balls! Bai Hui didn't even bother to press her chest anymore; she just glared at him angrily.

"Modern people generally think of 'sao' as a derogatory term, but that's not actually the case... 'Sao' is simply an expression of suppressed emotions. Poets used to be called 'sao people' because they expressed their emotions in poetry. The term originates from the 'Li Sao' in the Chu Ci, which has a commentary: 'Li means separation, and 'sao' means sorrow. It means that one has been exiled and separated, and is filled with sorrow.' Liu Chang'an explained gently, 'I just noticed that you have something on your mind, so I said you are indeed 'sao,' meaning you do have something on your mind.'"

Bai Hui stared blankly at Liu Chang'an. "I can't believe your nonsense!" Even though she was being insulted, she couldn't help but admire Liu Chang'an's erudition and ability to spout nonsense. Bah!

Why is this person so difficult to deal with? Bai Hui was so indignant that she felt a headache just looking at him... even though she had felt a slightly unpleasant surprise when she first entered the library.

When you want to meet someone, you don't; when you don't want to meet someone, you do. Your feelings might be very different, but why do you always feel that slight increase in your heart rate?

Bai Hui had figured it out. Since everyone misunderstood that she liked Liu Chang'an, and everyone knew that his girlfriend was An Nuan, if she were told that she liked Liu Chang'an, wouldn't that mean that she wasn't as pretty or as well-built as An Nuan? So Liu Chang'an chose An Nuan, but she was still clinging to Liu Chang'an. How shameless!

After figuring it out, of course I had to make a vow: I vowed never to face Liu Chang'an with the same attitude as before, and to wash away all the past with a completely different attitude in the future.

Before, I only wanted to prove my charm. How could I possibly like the boyfriend of a girl who had been my rival for years? That would be too beneath me. What about my reserve? What about my pride? She's still a campus beauty with huge popularity. People often take pictures of her and post them on social media. Many people ask about her class and name after seeing them. Occasionally, someone might think An Nuan is prettier, and her fans will argue against that... And this guy in front of me? Hmph, just a stinky Liu Chang'an with a terrible temper.

"Alright, I know you heard me scold you first." Bai Hui glared at Liu Chang'an. Although she was a little unwilling, there was no point in arguing with him. Whether he was a fan or a hater, he could say whatever he wanted.

Liu Chang'an laughed. "But you do seem to have something on your mind."

"No! I'm so happy! I've been learning makeup, dressing, and styling every day, and I'm getting prettier and happier every day." Bai Hui snorted. During this time, she bought tons of fashion magazines, followed tons of beauty bloggers, and emptied her shopping cart of lots of pretty clothes.

Girls find this kind of thing incredibly enjoyable every day, much more comfortable than dating. Plus, they date fairies like Zhu Juntang, setting a time for each other to dress up beautifully, enjoying elegant tea and pastries, taking selfies against various backgrounds, discussing different shades of lipstick and makeup, and finding each other's beauty pleasing to the eye. They have absolutely no need for men, those big jerkes.

Especially Liu Chang'an's large pig trotters, which are impossible to chew no matter how they are braised, steamed, stewed, grilled, or soaked in water.

"That's right, the most important thing in life is to be happy." Liu Chang'an agreed, saying that doing what you love makes anyone as happy as anyone else.

Bai Hui bit her lip, her eyes turning back to Liu Chang'an's face. She wrinkled her nose and tugged at the hem of her shirt with her hands behind her back.

She was wearing a t-shirt today, so obviously that when he met An Nuan, even without deliberately comparing them, he would probably sigh in admiration.

"What book were you reading just now?" Bai Hui felt a little embarrassed and ashamed that she had chased after him so aggressively and was dismissed in just a few words, so she decided to say a few more words.

"Look at the diary my father left me." Liu Chang'an carried a bag in one hand and a book in the other.

"Oh... I remember you said before that he was a professor at Xiangtan University." Bai Hui's heart softened slightly. Although Liu Chang'an was annoying, he was, after all, a child without a father.

"Did I tell you that?" Liu Chang'an thought for a moment, then couldn't remember.

If you told An Nuan, you must remember, right? Bai Hui felt she shouldn't dwell on this, so she said nonchalantly, "Yeah, such a thick diary. Is it the kind of diary that's published?"

Liu Chang'an opened it, flipped through it, and nodded.

"Can I take a look?" Bai Hui's eyes lit up.

Liu Chang'an handed it to her.

Bai Hui took it, opened to the first page, and turned the pages one by one, sighing, "The lives of the older generation are truly enviable. Ordinary days, every little detail is a picture of life, and the simple accounts clearly reveal a calm elegance. It's wonderful."

"Young girls just like this peaceful and idyllic feeling; they're not really interested in carrying heavy burdens," Liu Chang'an chuckled.

"This is your father's diary. If you don't like it, I can borrow it." Bai Hui looked at Liu Chang'an expectantly. "It's practically a work of art! I didn't expect your father's handwriting to be as good as yours, just a little different in style. It seems that's hereditary."

"Okay, give it back when you're done reading it." Liu Chang'an hadn't expected Bai Hui to make such a request, but he nodded nonetheless. Even if she was hiding some secrets, it didn't matter.

"Really?! Thank you!" Bai Hui jumped up and down in surprise.

"But you have to promise me... if you have time, exchange makeup techniques with An Nuan and teach her. I think your makeup skills have the ability to turn the ordinary into the extraordinary." Liu Chang'an finished speaking and left.

There's nothing wrong with that; girls are generally quite interested in exchanging makeup techniques. But after flipping through the diary, she realized that Liu Chang'an's words seemed to be mocking her again.

This... this is a huge pig's trotter!

Bai Hui was too lazy to argue with him. Remembering what she was supposed to do, she quickly went to the bathroom to pee.

Bai Hui took the diary back to her seat, only then realizing that she had borrowed Liu Chang'an's diary. After reading it, she would have to return it to him, which meant she would have to take the initiative to find him. Wouldn't that mean she would have to dress up beautifully again? It seemed like she really cared about seeing him... Bai Hui put her chest on the table and scratched her hair. She really doesn't learn her lesson. She had clearly sworn an oath!
