Li Mu said, "Don't get the wrong idea. Besides, some things can be described as gaining an advantage while suffering a loss! And what do you think is wrong with what I said? We don't spend much time together, so we can't develop feelings or tacit understanding. I'll give you the key so you can go there often, and the problem will be solved."
Liang Shuang snorted and turned her head away: "You have ulterior motives, I'm not going! Let whoever wants to go, I'm not your girlfriend."
Li Mu said, "Then forget it. It's quiet for me to be alone."
Liang Shuang immediately got a little angry: "What do you mean by that? Do you think I'm annoying? I haven't even gone there yet! I haven't even spent time with you yet! And you're already like this!"
"It's bound to get worse in the future. Do you want to become a womanizing scumbag?"
Li Mu was speechless, realizing that Liang Shuang was unreasonable and a difficult person to deal with, but he didn't expect her to be this difficult.
Think about how wise it was not to agree to be her girlfriend. If you actually had a girlfriend like that, life would be miserable.
"Alright! I don't want to argue with you. I just want to remind you that getting along with others requires compromise and tolerance. Not everyone and everything can go your way."
Li Mu's words made Liang Shuang feel down for a while.
He whispered, "I'm not trying to cause trouble for you, I just want to be with you. We're a good match in many ways! And you like me a lot too! Why can't I be your girlfriend?"
"I don't mean to be unreasonable. I'm just a little unhappy and want to vent my emotions. Why are you taking it so seriously?"
As she spoke, her eyes reddened. Li Mu was somewhat surprised that Liang Shuang, who was usually arrogant and sharp-tongued, would show such a vulnerable side in front of him.
He sighed softly and patted her on the back: "Alright, I understand your behavior. After all, she's Liang Shuang! It's understandable that she has some emotions, such a proud person."
Liang Shuang rolled her eyes at him: "Who's being arrogant? Give me the key in a bit."
Li Mu smiled and said, "Okay!"
Liang Shuang paused for a moment, then spoke again, "Can I give you a suggestion?"
Li Mu: "What suggestion?"
Liang Shuang said, "Since you've broken up, you should contact each other less. Haven't you and Jiang Xiaoguo broken up two years ago? Can you please spend less time with her?"
Li Mu looked at her and smiled: "Why should I pay less attention to her?"
Liang Shuang said, "Don't tell me you don't know what Jiang Xiaoguo means. She's still thinking about getting back together with you!"
Li Mu asked, "Who told you that?"
Liang Shuang said, "Do we need to listen to anyone? We've lived in the same dorm for years, so we can tell at a glance what's going on."
Li Mu said, "You know you're all in the same dorm. It's one thing to lack camaraderie, but it's not good to talk about others behind their backs."
Liang Shuang said, "Don't say that our relationship isn't good. I would never do something that would please others and make myself suffer."
"Can you say yes?" she asked, her eyes sparkling, adopting a coquettish manner.
Li Mu said, "We're not even boyfriend and girlfriend yet, and you're already being so controlling. Do you think I'll agree to this?"
Liang Shuang's face immediately fell.
"What do you mean? You don't mean you still want to rekindle your relationship with Jiang Xiaoguo, do you?"
Li Mu said, "Do you think I have such a bad image in your mind that you think I have ulterior motives and want to have something happen with other women?"
Liang Shuang said, "Who knows!"
Li Mu said, "If that's your attitude, always making a big deal out of things and forbidding me from doing this or that, then there's really no point in us continuing. It's definitely impossible."
"You can't accept me, and I can't accept you either."
Liang Shuang stood there stunned for a moment, speechless.
She hugged Li Mu tightly: "No, you think you can just take advantage of me, Liang Shuang, and leave? It's not that easy. You have to take responsibility to the end."
Seeing that Li Mu remained unmoved, his attitude softened instantly.
"I was wrong, okay? I do have a bad temper, and sometimes I can be a bit sharp-tongued and say things that are a bit harsh. But as you said, relationships require adjustment and tolerance, and these things take time. You need to give us time to change."
Li Mu said, "Okay, I'll give you time. What you said makes sense. I'd like to add one more thing: we should respect each other and not interfere in each other's lives."
"For example, like you said about Xiaoguo, I won't see her less because of what you said, nor will I deliberately see her more. I'll just let things take their course."
"I treat everyone else the same way, and I won't deliberately avoid anything because of my relationship with you."
Although Liang Shuang was not happy, knowing that Li Mu was the type of person who would only respond to gentle persuasion and not force, she could only accept it for the time being.
What else can we do? She's not his girlfriend, so we can't control her, and we have no right to do so.
After finally explaining the situation and the trouble, the two got up and went to the restaurant for a meal.
After leaving the hotel, Li Mu turned to ask, "Where do you want to go next? Should I take you back to school? Or should we go shopping together?"
Liang Shuang hesitated for a moment. She was feeling a bit confused and wanted to go back and sort things out, think things through carefully, and make sure she understood everything.
However, shopping is also very appealing to her.
After a long pause, he said, "I want to go back to school first. I didn't go back overnight, so they won't gossip."
"But you have to put the shopping trip on the tab. Next time I have time, you have to go shopping with me. No refusing, no excuses."
Li Mu nodded: "No problem."
The car drove on and soon arrived at Southeast University of Finance and Economics. Watching Liang Shuang get out of the car and walk away, Li Mu smiled, started the car, and quickly disappeared into the street.
Chapter 330: Every Failure Makes You Smarter
A few days later, Li Mu returned home and suddenly smelled the aroma of food. He paused for a moment, then realized that Liang Shuang must have arrived.
Sure enough, the next moment Liang Shuang walked over with her hands behind her back and an arrogant look on her face.
"Wash your hands and eat!"
Li Mu exclaimed in surprise, "You've prepared the meal?"
Liang Shuang smiled smugly and gave him a push: "Go wash your hands quickly."
Li Mu couldn't imagine Liang Shuang cooking. He also had a question in his mind: Could Liang Shuang cook? And was the food she made even edible?
For the sake of his own taste buds, Li Mu asked in a low voice, "How does it taste? Are you sure it's edible, or some kind of culinary disaster?"
Liang Shuang immediately got angry.
"If you don't want to eat, then don't eat."
Seeing that Li Mu was really going to refuse, he snorted and said, "I ordered takeout."
"Oh," Li Mu said, relieved, which earned him a glare from Liang Shuang.
Looking at the dishes on the table, all of which were his favorite flavors, Liang Shuang had clearly put in a lot of effort.
"Thank you for your thoughtfulness."
Liang Shuang gave him an unhappy look.
"Hypocrite, who asked you to thank me?"
Li Mu was speechless: "Saying thank you was a mistake."
Liang Shuang glared at him before saying, "You're not allowed to say that. If your girlfriend had prepared dinner, would you still be so polite? Would you still say thank you?"
Li Mu then realized that he was angry about this place.
He glanced at her and said, "Aren't you my girlfriend?"
Liang Shuang was immediately angered and picked up the plate on the table, intending to put it away.
"Stop eating. I'm not your girlfriend. Why should I presume to prepare dinner for you?"
Li Mu quickly stopped her: "Can you tone down your temper a bit? You get so impatient when you say something."
"I didn't finish what I was saying. If my girlfriend had prepared dinner for me, I probably wouldn't have accepted it, but I would still thank her, though in a different way."
"I'll help you understand this sentence better tonight and express my gratitude."
Liang Shuang blushed: "You pervert!"
The atmosphere at the scene instantly improved again.
After dinner, Liang Shuang dragged Li Mu to watch soap operas with her, ostensibly to build rapport, and Li Mu reluctantly agreed to watch with her for a while.
A few minutes later, Liang Shuang's phone rang. She glanced at the caller ID, somewhat surprised, muted the TV, and answered the call.
"Hello, Sister Xiaoya!"
"Hello, Xiaoshuang, are you free lately?"
Liang Shuang: "What is it, Sister Xiaoya?"
Lilia said, "Xiao Shuang, it's like this, I think you have good potential and a lot of talent. Last time we chatted online, you said you wanted to take on some advertising, right?"
Liang Shuang's face lit up with joy: "Sister Xiaoya, you still remember!"
Lilia said, "Of course I remember. You're so good-looking and professional. If there were any services like this, you would be the first person I would think of."
Liang Shuang was even happier.
"Thank you, Sister Xiaoya. What do you mean...?"
Lilia smiled and said, "Well, Shuang, I've come across a lipstick advertisement called Jasmine. They're currently soliciting proposals. Would you like to give it a try?"
Liang Shuang was overjoyed and was about to agree immediately, but after glancing at Li Mu beside her, she immediately became reserved.
"Of course I'd love to, but I've taken on some other work lately. Please wait a moment while I check my schedule so we don't miss the appointment."
