Chapter 68: Trying to Date |
The essence of marriage is actually mutual compromise and mutual accommodation.
This is the most ideal state, or in other words, Mutual Effort.
But in marriage, it's usually one-sided effort. Over time, no matter how much love there is, you'll feel tired and find it hard.
Therefore, from his first contact with the two women, Shen Siyuan was more inclined towards Jiang Taozhi.
He was aiming for marriage, not just a passionate romance.
Marriage isn't poetry and distant lands, but rather Daily Necessities.
Two women, two styles, judging from their initial contact.
Ruan Hongzhuang has a strong personality and is very opinionated. She is clearly not someone who compromises easily in life.
To live with someone like her, one can only compromise and accommodate them, otherwise, there would definitely be arguments.
Besides, why should he wrong himself from the very beginning?
He and Ruan Hongzhuang had only just met for the first time; it wasn't like they were madly in love.
Jiang Taozhi's personality was the exact opposite of Ruan Hongzhuang's.
She was gentle and kind. Because she was so well-protected since childhood, growing up surrounded by love, everything was arranged for her, so she wasn't very opinionated.
If you married a woman like this, as long as you gave her enough love, she would basically be obedient to you. Because she was used to others arranging her life for her, she wouldn't contradict your opinions, so naturally, there would be no conflict, which could reduce a lot of unnecessary trouble in life.
Even if she had many shortcomings, she was still a person worthy of being loved.
Besides, through Shen Siyuan's observation, Jiang Taozhi wasn't that type of Little Fairy; she was quite considerate of others' feelings.
Because she grew up surrounded by love, she also knew how to love others well.
Of course, if this kind of woman were to meet a Scumbag Man, she would be hurt very deeply.
Unless she changed herself, or had her Maternal Family to give her enough support, it would be quite tragic.
But Shen Siyuan considered himself not to be a Scumbag Man.
If they could really be together, he would definitely give her happiness.
That's why Shen Siyuan took the initiative to test her attitude.
However, he didn't receive a reply from Jiang Taozhi, but instead received a WeChat Message from Ruan Hongzhuang.
"Are you home?"
Why does this message look so familiar?
Isn't this the message he just sent to Jiang Taozhi? Even the punctuation is identical.
What, did she copy-paste it and forward it back?
Shen Siyuan didn't reply immediately, but stroked his chin in thought.
He naturally understood what Ruan Hongzhuang meant.
To be honest, with a great beauty actively pursuing him, he was neither a saint nor in a relationship, so it was hard not to be moved.
This made Shen Siyuan, who had been planning to pursue Jiang Taozhi, start to waver a little.
Just as Shen Siyuan was hesitating about whether to reply to her message.
Ruan Hongzhuang then sent another message: "Do you like Peach?"
Shen Siyuan thought for a moment and replied to her first.
"I just got home and saw the message."Then he added: "We only just met today, so I can't say I like her, but Miss Jiang is indeed very nice, so I'd like to try getting to know her first."
Shen Siyuan expressed his thoughts honestly, not hiding his true feelings just because the other party was another beautiful woman.
However, Shen Siyuan's answer and Jiang Taozhi's answer were almost identical; both wanted to get to know each other first.
Shen Siyuan saw that there was no reply after he sent his message.
Just as he was about to put down his Mobile Phone, he heard another notification.
He picked it up and saw it was still from Ruan Hongzhuang.
"What do you think of me?"
Seeing this, Shen Siyuan's face was a pure Subway Old Man Face. Is this lady really that direct?
But after some thought and careful consideration, he sent a message back: "You're a very good person."
This time, Ruan Hongzhuang's message came back quickly.
"Then should we try dating?"
"This…"
Shen Siyuan was a little stunned.
After thinking, he replied: "Isn't this a bit too fast?"
"I'm not asking you to be my Boyfriend right away. You think I'm a good person, and I think you're easy on the eyes too, so we can try dating first."
Before Shen Siyuan could reply, she immediately sent another message.
"Do you think I'm too frivolous?"
Another one followed, as if it had been written in advance, just waiting to be sent one by one.
"I'm afraid you'll start dating Peach, and then it would be difficult for me to snatch you away."
"…"
Shen Siyuan sent back six dots directly; he didn't even know what to say.
After sending the six dots, he saw that she was still typing. Shen Siyuan was also very curious about what else she wanted to say, so he waited quietly.
"The reason I'm so direct is related to my personality. There's a unique quality about you that really attracts me.
You are a very special person, and I'm afraid I'll regret it if I miss out…"
"When I do things, even if I regret them later, I won't choose to have regrets now. So I decided to just lay my cards on the table with you…"
"Of course, this behavior of mine might cause you to dislike me, but I can see that you have a very good impression of Peach.
If you two really start dating, then I will have no more chances. I can't possibly do something like snatching her Boyfriend away…"
"If it weren't for this, I might have chosen to get to know you slowly too…"
"I asked you what you thought of me, and you said I was a good person.
This shows you have a good impression of me too. Since that's the case, why shouldn't I be the one to try things out with you first…"
"Also, I have a question.
I believe my looks and abilities are no worse than Peach's. Why did you choose her?"
Looking at the series of messages from Ruan Hongzhuang, Shen Siyuan finally understood what she was thinking.
As for the last question, it was also easy to answer: "It's because you're too good that I feel we aren't suitable for each other."
Then he added another sentence: "And I think getting along with a girl like Miss Jiang would probably be more relaxing and comfortable."
Shen Siyuan didn't directly mention the issue of her personality being too strong, but with Ruan Hongzhuang's intelligence, she should understand.
"We haven't even tried getting along, how do you know we're not suitable?"
"Okay, that's my fault, it was too arbitrary. But it's just based on my personal judgment, fearing that in the end, not only will there be no result, but we'll also end up hurting each other deeply."
"Isn't that a good thing?"
"?"
Shen Siyuan had a face full of question marks.
How was that good?
"Being hurt deeply only proves you have each other in your hearts. Would you feel sad for a stranger? The deeper the feelings, the deeper the hurt.
Regardless of the outcome, for both people, it becomes one of life's most beautiful memories…"
Shen Siyuan suddenly felt that she made a lot of sense.
A complete life isn't just made up of beautiful things; those unforgettable loves and regrets, loving someone you can't have, that is the true norm of life.
Shen Siyuan was persuaded by her and also admired her dare-to-love, dare-to-hate personality.
Of course, the main thing was that she was beautiful.
This point was very important.
So he said: "Then shall we give it a try?"
Ruan Hongzhuang then sent a smiley face, followed by: "Let me formally introduce myself.
My name is Ruan Hongzhuang, I'm twenty-eight this year, my career is somewhat successful, I've never been in a relationship, and I look forward to our future…"
Is she being this formal? Shen Siyuan thought.
But he also followed the format she sent and introduced himself.
"My name is Shen Siyuan, I'm twenty-six, have achieved nothing, have no house and no car, and have been in one relationship…"
Shen Siyuan was still being blunt. If Ruan Hongzhuang backed down because of this, then there was nothing more to talk about.
