I'm waiting for you in my memory

Chapter 59 Ashes of Wrath (2)
"Now you can tell me, what do you mean by those words just now?" Many times, Tan Shaocheng habitually held his chest slightly and looked down, but at this moment she was looking straight at Situ Jue. Under the faint blue light, her face was like a ghostly transparent mask, and the corners of her mouth were tightly drawn, as if defending her last bit of dignity. "I really don't understand why you hate me so much?"

Situ Jue said: "Because I hate people who have a smile on their face and stab someone in the back! You should be clear about what's going on, why bother to use those hurtful tricks secretly."

"I still don't understand what you mean. Yes, I begged you for the scholarship, but you got what you deserved, and I will definitely pay you back!"

At this time, Yao Qiyun and Wu Jiang, who were worried, also followed, followed by Sanpi and Xiaogen, who were both familiar with them.

Having said that, Situ Jue didn't want to accompany her to practice Tai Chi anymore.

"Just pretend!" She pointed at Yao Qiyun who was walking over, and said to Tan Shaocheng in a hateful voice, "Do you dare to say that you are not sowing discord behind your back, that you deliberately mentioned in front of him that I went to find Zou Jin?"

"Okay, Ah Jue, I said it has nothing to do with her. You can go home with me now." Yao Qiyun dragged Situ Jue to leave.

Situ Jue shook off his hand, "Are you still protecting her? Apart from me, only Wu Jiang and Xiao Gen knew about that matter. Well, everyone is here anyway, so you might as well say it out, if it wasn't for her tricking Xiao Gen If someone comes to talk and then turns to you to gossip, then who is it, is it him? Or him!" She pointed to Wu Jiang and Xiao Gen one by one for proof.

"Since you admit that it's true, what's the point of finding out who said it? I don't want to quarrel over this matter." Yao Qiyun said.

"Of course it makes sense. If they told you, then I have nothing to say and can only blame myself for being blind; if it is Tan Shaocheng, I will let her know how despicable it is!"

Tears were already in Tan Shaocheng's eyes, she had to speak slowly so that the choking sound was not so obvious. "I see. You mean that you went to Professor Zou for Xiao Gen alone. Xiao Gen told me, but based on this, you can insist that I said it? What evidence do you have? Situ Jue, You can look down on me, but you can't trample people to death! Could it be that you are the only beautiful jade, and everyone else is a broken tile on the roof?"

The girl standing opposite him had tears in her eyes, her face was full of sourness and anger, she looked so pitiful, it was hard to hate her.Situ Jue can only think: it is such a pitiful face that will always appear by her side at every unpleasant moment; it is also this face, pure and beautiful, that hides countless scheming and secrets of all sizes. She can tell some meaningless lies without purpose; she can use gray means to beg her opponent for a scholarship; Treating Xiao Gen; she can also use Yao Qiyun's kindness towards her as a bargaining chip for negotiating with Situ Jue, but at the same time knowing that Situ Jue is present, she will appear with Yao Qiyun intentionally or unintentionally.It is true that she is poor and pitiful, and Situ Jue doesn't know if if he were her, he would do more than her.She can only be grateful for everything her parents have given her. Because of this, she doesn't have to be consumed by misfortune like Tan Shaocheng, so that she has no time to care about kindness.Is the fate of jade and tiles determined only by their innate texture?
Thinking of "jade and tiles", Situ Jue got excited out of thin air.She has never claimed to be "jade", but the metaphor she heard from Tan Shaocheng is not unfamiliar... She suddenly remembered that someone had said similar words, and it was this reality that made her dare not believe in coincidences.

"Do you dare to say that you never went to Zou Jin?" Situ Jue suddenly asked Tan Shaocheng.

She was just probing at first, and she didn't have a clue in her heart. If Tan Shaocheng was at a loss, she would pretend that she hadn't said it.However, Tan Shaocheng's surprise and panic at that moment even overwhelmed his sadness and grievance.

This turning point was really unexpected for Situ Jue. She was still puzzled about Tan Shaocheng's purpose. Is it for Wu Jiang, or for Yao Qiyun, or just to make things difficult for her?Now it seems that these are probably not the key, and only a fool like her thinks these things are extremely important. In Tan Shaocheng's heart, there may be nothing that can be compared with the future.

"It turned out to be for the research." Situ Jue suddenly said, while Wu Jiang and Yao Qiyun showed confusion.

The mockery on Situ Jue's face stabbed Tan Shaocheng, and she straightened her waist again, "So what if I looked for him, I'm not like you, even if you don't do anything after graduation, the family will take good care of you , I don’t have such a good father, I can only rely on myself, the postgraduate entrance examination is my only way out, what’s wrong with wanting to be a graduate student of Professor Zou? Just because you also hope to be admitted to his school, that position is destined to be given to you, others Your hard work has become a joke?"

"Work hard?" Situ Jue smiled more ironically, "'Work hard' as you like. No one will stop you if you want to be his graduate student, but why do you think that as long as I withdraw from the competition, that position will belong to you? "

Tan Shaocheng said: "I don't know what you are talking about, but I will not give up until the end."

Situ Jue gritted his teeth, "It doesn't matter if you don't admit it, you were the sneaky person behind the tree that day! Let me tell you, the more dark and despicable you are, the less likely you are to get what you want so easily!"

Tan Shaocheng's tears finally burst, "Situ Jue, don't bully me too much!"

"A joke..." Situ Jue was still angry, and was finally interrupted by Yao Qiyun's shout, "Is that enough? How many times do I have to tell you before you will believe it? She didn't say that, it was..."

"It's me." This calm voice made Situ Jue stunned for a moment before turning around.

The person who spoke was actually the third person standing on the outermost layer of the circle of right and wrong.

"You?" Situ Jue looked at San Pi suspiciously.

Sanpi took a few steps back and forth irritably, "I told Qiyun not to tell you, I was the one who said it, for fear that you would be unhappy. In fact, I didn't mean anything malicious, but I just wanted to remind Qiyun that Zou Jin is not a good person. I don't I know you guys mind that much. Uh...sorry, and Shaocheng too, I’m sorry. But I just don’t understand, why are you trying so hard to drill into him?”

"How do you know what happened that night?" Sanpi is not from their academy, and he has never met Zou Jin before. Situ Jue really has no way to connect him with this matter.

Sanpi said: "Don't ask, Situ, anyway, it's good that you know it's not Shaocheng, we are all friends, why bother to be so stiff, it's just a misunderstanding."

Xiao Gen also hurriedly said at this time, "So you were arguing about that matter. Situ, I didn't make it clear to you. I did mention it to Shaocheng, but it was only a few days later. At that time She just came back from home."

Situ Jue seemed to have stepped on the ground, and her heart was in a mess. Many voices rang in her ears, but she felt in a daze.She looked at Wu Jiang as if asking for help, Wu Jiang lowered his head and coughed a few times, then nodded in embarrassment.

Well now, the despicable person she believed to be without a doubt was just wronged and suffered on behalf of others, and the anger burned to the end, and she burned herself to ashes. Spraying people just makes everyone see a joke.No matter how much she hated Tan Shaocheng, she was sure that it was her who did it, but the facts were beyond doubt—she wronged Tan Shaocheng.

Tan Shaocheng remained silent, with tears rolling down his face silently.

"Go, apologize to someone." Yao Qiyun urged in the ear of Situ Jue who was in a daze.Situ Jue took a deep breath, turned his head to the side abruptly, his face full of stubbornness.

He sighed, and walked up to Tan Shaocheng by himself. "Shaocheng, I'm sorry. I apologize to you on behalf of Situ Jue. In fact, this is all my fault. If I had explained it to her earlier, I wouldn't have made it like this. I'm really sorry."

Tan Shaocheng stared blankly at Situ Jue.

"No need."

After she finished speaking, she rushed back to the box to get her things, and a group of people followed in with a roar.

Situ Jue's side suddenly became very quiet. She quietly hid in an empty seat at the far corner of the hall and sat down. In fact, she could not be said to be "hiding" because no one was paying attention to her at this time. Well, she can catch her breath by herself.

She watched familiar figures leave one after another in the corner, and finally, everyone dispersed.Someone sat across from her and patted her on the shoulder as usual.

"Sorry, I still messed up your birthday party tonight."

Situ Jue also felt a little strange when he heard his own voice.It's not that she can't apologize, but she couldn't say the same three words "I'm sorry" in front of Tan Shaocheng.

Wu Jiang waved his hand like chasing flies, "Why are you saying these things? Are you okay? If you ask me, it's not a big deal. Don't take it to heart. Go back to sleep and forget about it. Let's go back."

Situ Jue shook his head, "I feel that something is weighing on my heart and I can't breathe. You go back first, maybe Uncle Wu and Aunt Chen are still at home waiting for you to cut the cake, I will sit alone for a while."

"Everyone is gone, how can I leave you behind. It's my mother's fault if she doesn't beat me up when she finds out."

The sentence "everyone is gone" shocked Situ Jue even more, and she asked with difficulty, "He... he left too?"

"Well, it seems to be sending Tan Shaocheng back. Don't think about making troubles. You have a stubborn temper. Someone must come forward to clean up the situation for you."

"You go too, I am familiar with this area, I will go back later by myself." Situ Jue was bored for a while and started to drive Wu Jiang home. Wu Jiang refused at first, but seeing her serious and resolute attitude, he had to compromise, and after repeated exhortations, He left her alone.

Situ Jue didn't know how long she had been sitting there, there were many clocks in the store in a mess, but she didn't want to check the time.Without the concept of time, people will not feel so lonely.The waiter, A Yuan, refilled the water in front of her three times, and gradually, the number of guests in the lobby became thinner.

She leaned on the table with her arm under her pillow, because she knew that she was here to attend Wu Jiang's birthday party, and she was with Qiyun again...

It's so late, and even my mother hasn't called.

Where did he send her?
"Back in time" left her alone.

Situ Jue was startled awake by the whispers around him, only to realize that he had just fallen asleep on his stomach.She opened her eyes, saw Yao Qiyun sitting opposite her, and began to think that this was a dream.

"Am I going too far?" She just lay there, looking at Yao Qiyun who no longer fought against her in her dream.

"Yes." Very typical Yao Qiyun's answer.

"Then just ignore me."

"it is good."

"In that case, why don't you go?"

"Just go."

But he left without saying anything for a long time.

Situ Jue muttered, "It's saying one thing and doing another."

Yao Qiyun said: "What I'm talking about is what I do when I'm sober."

"what about now?"

"I drank some wine tonight, and those don't count."

He leaned over to kiss her, and sure enough, there was a faint bitter taste of beer.Situ Jue thought: She doesn't drink well, this is enough to make her drunk.So she also stood up and hugged Yao Qiyun recklessly, wrapping her arms around his back tightly, feeling his hands caressing her back.

"How do you know I'm here waiting for you?"

He said, "What do you think. Situ Jue, I like the way you look when you are asleep."
