Chapter 120: Know

Ji Su asked Qiao Lan to go to the cafe across the street from the school, but Qiao Lan refused, "What can't we talk about over the phone?"

"I think it's better to meet and talk", Ji Su says.

"Oh," Qiao Lan's voice was cold, "it's better to talk on the phone, my boyfriend doesn't like me to meet other guys in private."

Qiao Lan really doesn't give him a chance. Even if he has a boyfriend, as Qiao Lan said, he keeps his distance from other people of the opposite sex, but other than Qiao Lan, even if she has a boyfriend, she won't go to Qiao Lan's extent.

Is Tan Mo really that good?

Ji Su sat on the sofa, his face, which was always smiling, was now devoid of a smile, and his grip on the phone tightened unconsciously.

"And what if I said I liked you."

There was a moment of silence on Qiao Lan's end, and a moment later Qiao Lan's cold voice came out of the receiver, "That's none of my business either."

If she had to manage and worry about every one-sided fancy, she would have been distracted long ago.

Ji Su listened to Qiao Lan's indifferent voice and suddenly felt an indescribable sense of powerlessness, his fondness and affection seemed worthless in front of Qiao Lan, and his good patience seemed to become unstoppable in front of Qiao Lan, Ji Su couldn't help but ask her.

"You don't have anything to say?"

"To say the least, there really is," says Qiao Lan.

Ji Su's lips curled as she was about to say something, but Qiao Lan continued.

"Although someone had warned me before, I still didn't believe it, after all, I already have a boyfriend and we are very close, so as long as the character is decent definitely won't interfere with other people's relationships, and I always thought that seniors are excellent in both academics and as a person, now it seems like I thought wrong."

Ji Su is a little angry that he is trying to help her and now it is Qiao Lan's turn to question his character here.

It's not right to interfere in other people's relationships, but Qiao Lan and Tan Mo are just in love now, and his pursuit of Qiao Lan is just a fair fight, and besides, people like Tan Mo ......

"Qiao Lan", Ji Su called Qiao Lan in a serious voice as she sank down, "There is no need to speak so harshly, don't you think I am helping you?"

Even if Qiao Lan was smart, she didn't understand what Ji Su meant by this statement, deliberately insinuating that she was helping her by sabotaging their relationship?

She doesn't feel it and doesn't understand it.

Ji Su said slowly, "You said you applied for psychology because of a guy, because of your boyfriend, right?"

When Qiao Lan stalled, Ji Su knew.

So the debate that day was indeed deliberate on his part!

Ji Su didn't hear Qiao Lan's reply, so he continued, "If I'm not wrong, your boyfriend, I think, is a patient of Asperger syndrome, don't be surprised how I know that.

Qiao Lan sneers silently, curious to hear what Ji Su has to say.

Ji Su's story is one where the ending can be guessed right from the start.

A beautiful young girl, in her best year, meets an equally handsome and gentle boy. She has never met a man of the opposite sex who cares so much about her, tolerant, generous, like the perfect boyfriend in a TV novel, and the two quickly fall in love and marry shortly afterwards.

But when she got married, she found out that everything she thought was perfect about her boyfriend was a lie, that he didn't love people like normal people, that his love was paranoid and extreme, and that step by step he was eating away at her life, cutting off all her ties with her family and friends, leaving her alone in the world.

It was then that she understood that there was a condition called Asperger syndrome.

People with this disorder will either not have love or love in its most extreme form, only she knows it too late.

Even though life is rich and well-fed and there is never any need to work hard, it is like life has become a prison.

A year later they had a child, and she was overjoyed to learn of this new life, her life was so dull and boring that the arrival of a new baby was like a ray of light in her life. She thought to herself that even though he had forbidden her to make friends and contact with her family, the baby was theirs and he would always love it.

And everything that followed proved that she had thought wrong again.

He didn't like the boy, even hated him, because he distracted her.

"So I'm saving you, Qiao Lan", Ji Su's voice softened.

"I have a father with Asperger syndrome and I have lived under the same roof for 18 years and no one knows better than I do how horrible it is to have a person with Asperger syndrome. I have rarely seen my mother smile for as long as I can remember; she wouldn't smile in front of my father and she wouldn't smile in front of me because he would get angry when she smiled at me, and the year my parents finally divorced after high school, my mother took her own life in exchange for her freedom, which was saved but left her sick."

Ji Su spoke in a tone that became somewhat sombre because of what was said, "Such people don't know anything about love, let alone deserve it, such people should never have pulled innocent people down, no one should be held responsible for their madness, Qiao Lan,"

Ji Su paused before continuing, "I know it's wrong to break up other people's relationships, but by coincidence I learned about Tan Mo's illness, and I should have seen it with my own eyes, which is why I didn't see it between you two, and I wanted to warn you to leave Tan Mo early. "

Qiao Lan did not speak as he held the phone.

She remembered the saying that people often say, "A poor man must be hated, and a hateful man must suffer miserably.

The story of Ji Su, and Ji Su's mother, is undoubtedly pathetic, especially Ji Su herself, who is particularly hostile to people with Asperger's syndrome because of her father.

Qiao Lan can fully understand his thoughts on this.

But it is just about understanding.

This is not a reason to allow him to destroy another person's relationship.

Even if Tan Mo did have any problems, it was not Ji Su's turn to be an outsider, it was a matter between her and Tan Mo.

Qiao Lan didn't say anything, so Ji Su thought Qiao Lan had finally been touched by what she had heard and softened her voice as she continued, "I know you're very attached to each other now and it's hard for you to break up, but I still advise you to get out of it early so you don't end up ruining your life like my mother did when she tried to get out but it was hard to get out. "

Qiao Lan closed her eyes and finally spoke after a long time, "Senior, I still say, this is between Tan Mo and me, it has nothing to do with you, no matter what your reasons are, there is no doubt that you broke our relationship."

"I said I was helping you!"

Ji Su thinks he's being nice, but Qiao Lan is so unforgiving that he's getting angry.

"I don't need it, and I don't need your self-righteousness to help me", Qiao Lan interrupted Ji Su, "and ask yourself if you're really just doing it to help me?"

Qiao Lan has lost her patience, having felt some pity for Ji Su just a moment before, but now even the half-hearted pity she had just felt has vanished into thin air.

"I can't argue with your claim that you know your parents well enough to understand Asperger's syndrome, but what do you know about me and Tan Mo? There are countless people with Asperger's syndrome in the world and you know every single one of them? Who are you to judge other people's lives and make choices for them just because of your own little life experience?"

Ji Su took a deep breath, "You're as young now as my mother was when she was deceived ......"

I'm not being cheated, don't keep comparing me to your mother, I don't know your mother and she's not the same", Qiao Lan said, "I don't think Ji Su is the right person now, he talks about himself and doesn't listen to what people are saying, he keeps comparing his parents' tragic love to hers, but it's not the same at all.

"MoMo is not like your father, and I am not like your mother", Qiao Lan said, word for word.

"Your father tricked your mother into liking him with a false act, he hid his true self and tricked your mother back home, the tragedy of your parents' relationship was not because your father had Asperger syndrome, it was because their love for each other was a trick from the beginning, the man your mother liked was not your father at all but your father The man your mother loved was not your father but an illusion created by your father!"

"Because of your father's deception, because your mother never loved your father for what he was, and that's what made them tragic, and I'm not like Tan Mo."

Qiao Lan's gaze warms up as he remembers the time when he first met Tan Mo.

"Unlike your mother, I don't like each other because of the appearance of perfection, I started liking him when he was down and out and now that he's getting better I only like him more, so don't compare Tan Mo and I to your parents' tragic experiences. I'm not as naive as your mother who couldn't see the real person she liked, and Tan Mo isn't as timid as your father who was afraid to show his true colours, so don't presume to save me, I think it's you who needs saving."

"I will not be attending any future club activities, and I will delete all my contact details, so I hope you can clear them all soon."

"What if I don't agree?", Ji Su said slowly, taking a deep breath.

"I don't think there's a rule against quitting a club," Qiao Lan said with a smile, "and since you're always seen as the perfect person, you probably don't want people to know the real reason why I quit, because after all, interfering in someone's relationship . ...doesn't really fit your image."

Qiao Lan This is clearly a threat to him.

But Ji Su was still threatened.

Qiao Lan hung up the phone and sat on the sofa alone, not knowing what to think, while Qiao Lan on the other side waited for Tan Mo who was leaving class and suddenly leapt into Tan Mo's arms.

Tan Mo didn't know what to do, but he was still very lean and smooth and held the person in his arms, while Xie Hongyi and others who passed by quickly slipped away to avoid being abused.

Tan Mo stroked Qiao Lan's hair, "What's wrong."

Qiao Lan holds Tan Mo.

Tan Mo was hostile to Ji Su from the start, and she didn't believe it at the time.

Qiao Lan let out a long sigh after a long time, and then looked up again with only a smile on his face, "I've officially quit the psychological club, let's celebrate the success of quitting the group, let's go out for dinner!"
