I am reborn and just want to concentrate on my studies

Back downstairs in the community, it was completely dark.

Yi Yang looked up from downstairs and saw that the light in the living room was on. It seemed that Jiang Lili had arrived home.

After going back, I changed my shoes at the door. When I walked in, I saw Jiang Lili curled up on the sofa, with her arms supported on her knees and her chin in her hands, as if she was thinking seriously about something.

Yi Yang walked over and was about to say hello, but Jiang Lili suddenly turned to look at him and asked, "Yi Yang, what do you think of me?"

Yi Yang was slightly startled, "Huh?"

"Uh... forget it, let me change the question. I should ask, what does a rich lady look like in your eyes?"

"This..." Yi Yang originally wanted to say a few nice words, but when he saw Jiang Lili looking at him seriously, he couldn't help but murmur in his heart, realizing that she might have been stimulated in some way today? So I started to think about this issue seriously. I sat down on the sofa and thought about it for a while before saying, "Well... I have only seen you, a rich girl."

Jiang Lili blushed a little because the previous words had already presupposed her position as a "rich lady". Although this was a fact and she would not shy away from this position, it was still a bit embarrassing for others to call her that.

Jiang Lili said: "Then... then take me as an example and talk about your impression of a rich lady."

Yi Yang nodded and said: "Well... how should I put it? My sister is beautiful and has a good temper. She is very tutored. She is very comfortable in communication and knows how to listen."

Jiang Lili snorted: "Although what you said is true, it is not what I want to hear."

Yi Yang laughed loudly: "Although he is a little narcissistic, he is very cute."

"It's sister!"

"Um?"

"Don't use adjectives like cute next time."

Yi Yang chuckled.

Jiang Lili's mood improved after Yi Yang made such a fuss. A smile appeared on her face, but she still frowned after a moment: "No more?"

Yi Yang hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "But, what I just said is just the impression you left on me, but I know that this is not what all girls from rich families look like."

Jiang Lili sighed and said, "I know too..."

Yi Yang noticed that the kettle on the coffee table had reached the bottom, so he stood up and picked up the kettle.

After doing this, Yi Yang asked: "What happened?"

Jiang Lili hesitated for a moment, wondering whether to tell Yi Yang about her confusion, but if she didn't tell him now, who would she tell?

She looked at Yi Yang's eyes. Those eyes were as calm as water, but reassuring. Recently, she had often forgotten his age. In the past, his childish face would always remind her, but now Yi Yang He has already developed very maturely, so the impression of his age is somewhat vague.

Jiang Lili sighed and said, "Do you remember what I told you once about the fact that one of my best friends in college had a good family background, and then she found a boyfriend who didn't have a very good family background?"

"Yes, remember." Yi Yang said as he filled Jiang Lili's cup with lemonade. He noticed that there was a light red color on the lip of the cup, and then he noticed that Jiang Lili's lipstick was the same color today.

Jiang Lili continued: "Well... that boy recently returned to Hanning City. How should I put it, that boy is doing pretty well now. Although he can't be said to be a successful person, it can be seen that my best friend didn't have the same vision at the time. Wrong, little by little, he is gradually becoming worthy of my best friend in material terms... Of course, my best friend doesn't care about that."

"Yeah." Yi Yang listened carefully.

Jiang Lili continued: "Before, my best friend always felt that they broke up. Although it was proposed by the other party, the main reason was that the boy felt that he was not worthy of my best friend. This time the boy came to see her, and my best friend thought that He wanted to pick up this memory again. He was very happy, but also very nervous, so he asked me to accompany her..."

Yi Yang interrupted at the right time: "So my sister is going to be a light bulb today."

"I hate it." Jiang Lili said, "Don't interrupt, I'll continue."

"Um."

"To be honest, before I went, I was really happy for my best friend. She is very nice and treats people around her very well. She never feels superior to others just because of her good conditions. And that boy, what can I say? Well, I used to think he was pretty good, he was good-looking and very motivated, and we never cared about his rural background, so I would be quite happy if the two of them could get back together."

Yi Yang was thoughtful. Of course he had no doubts about Jiang Lili's words, but he had already thought of some questions.

Jiang Lili sighed: "But..."

"Did the deal break down?"

Jiang Lili smiled bitterly: "Yes, it can't be said that the talks have broken down. The three of us visited many places today, watched movies, and even went to the newly opened Jinling City theme park..."

"Well?"

"how?"

"It's nothing, sister, please continue talking."

"How can I put it this way? I wonder if I am too slow. I think today went very smoothly, and I didn't notice any problems with the two of them. Everyone was smiling. Well, anyway, it was a good day. One day."

"Before dinner, my best friend was very happy. I could even feel her heartbeat speeding up. It was such a pleasant day until we parted ways in the evening..."

"I originally thought it was another confession, and my best friend was also looking forward to it, but the guy said..."

Yi Yang remained silent.

"He said, I'm sorry. I used to think that I was too inferior. After being separated for such a long time, I have been reflecting on myself. During these times, I have worked hard and my living standard has improved a lot. I think I have already improved a lot. The confidence of inferiority, so this time, I want to give myself a chance, and give you another chance, so I am here, but now I finally figured it out, the problem is not with you, nor with me, but with... us Because of our respective growth environments, we have formed two incompatible lifestyles... Although I admire you very much, we will definitely torture each other in the future, so I'm sorry..."

"I'm sorry, we are people from two different worlds. There is no way to make up for this through material pursuits."

"My best friend kept crying afterwards, and I can't remember exactly what the guy said..."

Jiang Lili let out a long sigh: "That's probably it."

After hearing this, Yi Yang smiled and asked: "You have listened to all these words by the side... You are really a shining light bulb."

Jiang Lili snorted: "I don't want to hear it either. I said I wanted to avoid it. They both said it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter, I'll stay. I'm also very curious about how they will develop... You are a boy. You don’t understand, we girls are very curious about this kind of thing..."

"So, why did my sister ask me that question? Is it also out of curiosity?"

Jiang Lili said: "It's like this. When we said goodbye at the end, the guy also apologized to me and said something pretentious, which made me a little unhappy."

Yi Yang's eyes moved: "What are you talking about?"

Jiang Lili hesitated for a moment and then said: "He said: I hope you can meet a boy who has a similar growing environment to yourself in the future... If you meet a boy who comes from the countryside like me, you will be very painful."

Yi Yang was slightly startled and said with a smile: "Then how did sister respond?"

Jiang Lili frowned: "I..." She glanced at Yi Yang and then said: "I'm a little unhappy. In fact, I rarely get unhappy because of these things, but I'm a little unhappy. It's probably his idea. It was too realistic, so I yelled at him, not all boys in rural areas are like you!"

"Oh, then what?" Yi Yang was a little surprised. He really didn't expect Jiang Lili to say such sharp words.

"He was stunned. He didn't seem to think that I would confront him. To be honest, I regretted it at the time, but I just didn't want to apologize. But he wasn't angry either. Instead, he smiled and said something that made me even more crazy... …”

Yi Yang was already a little curious and asked: "What are you talking about..."

Jiang Lili said: "He looked at a girl who was unfamiliar with the world and said with a helpless smile, you rich girls..."

Yi Yang felt a little funny. Seeing Jiang Lili's angry expression, he suddenly felt that she had never been so real... How can I put it, since meeting Jiang Lili, the impression she left was so dreamy, always making people feel that she does not belong The illusion of this world, but when I really get closer to her life, I find that she is not so perfect, and some of her ideas are not so correct, but it makes people feel within reach.

"You're still laughing!" After Jiang Lili said this, she puffed out her mouth to express her dissatisfaction.

Only then did Yi Yang realize that he had unknowingly shown his inner thoughts on his face. He coughed and said, "So... you asked that question?"

Jiang Lili nodded, picked up the cup, and took a sip of lemonade. After putting it down, her mood calmed down a little, and she asked Yi Yang seriously: "I don't deny that I am, that... rich girl, and I also know many of the people they say. Rich girls, I don’t think so-called rich girls have any unique temperament. For example, my best friend has a very good personality. She always rides electric scooters with her boyfriend, takes the subway, and eats at roadside stalls. Others say AA, she I just follow the crowd silently; I also know a rich girl who has very good academic performance. She was recommended to the Ivy League all the way. She is not the kind of person who gets into it by money. She really got the qualification after participating in various competitions. I have never been to her villa. Before, I had no idea her family was so wealthy..."

"But there are also the kind of rich girl friends who are crazy about chasing celebrities since they were in college. In order to chase a Korean star, they even bought a house next to the Korean star's home. In addition to the above typical examples, there are also those who don't want to have any at all. Any bad rich girl who hangs out, smokes, drinks, gets tattoos, the kind who messes around with some boys in freshman year..."

"In short... no matter what kind of material conditions they are, they obviously have their own shapes. Why did that guy express so sincerely that you rich girls all have a characteristic that is incompatible with me?"

Jiang Lili looked at Yi Yang and said, "So... Yi Yang, I just want to ask you, what do you think of a rich girl? Do all rich girls have something in common?"

Yi Yang was stunned for a long time, and suddenly wanted to laugh. Jiang Lili would be troubled by such a problem. For some reason, it made him feel inexplicably cute. After thinking about it carefully, he said: "To talk about the common characteristics of rich girls...it's actually very simple. Well, isn’t it just..."

Jiang Lili's eyes widened.

Yi Yang slowly uttered two words: "You are rich."

Jiang Lili was stunned, then hit Yi Yang and said, "I'm sorry."

Yi Yang coughed twice, but his expression gradually became serious and said, "Don't worry, I'll give you a serious analysis."

"What I said is true. You are right, a person's character is indeed not determined by material conditions, and you cannot judge whether a person is kind or easy to get along with through material conditions."

"But there is one thing that rich girls always have in common..." He glanced at Jiang Lili and said, "The next words are just my own thoughts and may not be correct."

"I feel that girls trained by really wealthy families are often very generous and do not deliberately show their family conditions in life. On the one hand, their spiritual needs do not come from material vanity. On the other hand, So, if you don’t think this thing should be shown off, it’s like a poor person eating a bowl of porridge, it’s not something worth showing off, right?”

"However, if you don't show off or show off, on some occasions, you will unconsciously reveal something essential, and that is..."

Yi Yang looked at Jiang Lili: "I'm very insensitive to the 'how much' thing."

Jiang Lili was slightly startled.

Yi Yang continued: "For example, your best friend, although she and her boyfriend take the subway and ride bicycles, when it comes time to buy things, she will never consider, does this thing cost so much? Often... this one looks good, Buy, this is comfortable, buy, this is endorsed by Xiao Cai, buy!”

"Xiao Cai?"

"Just give me an example, don't worry about it."

"Oh..." Jiang Lili looked thoughtful after hearing Yi Yang's words.

"I think most girls who have had good material conditions since birth are similar in this regard, right?" He said and glanced at Jiang Lili.

Jiang Lili's face turned slightly red and she nodded: "Hmm... maybe."

Yi Yang continued: "However, such details may be very troublesome to your best friend's boyfriend."

Jiang Lili said: "But now... he has an annual salary of one million, so he shouldn't think that he is from the same world as my best friend, right? My best friend doesn't have that luxury either."

Yi Yang shook his head: "That's not how we understand values. Let me give you an example..."

"Imagine, if he sees a pair of shoes priced at 2,000, his first reaction is that from the perspective of brand, workmanship, etc., these shoes are worth at most 1,500. When he wants to bargain, your best friend says, wrap them up. At this time, he Even though I don’t say it, I know I shouldn’t be stingy, but I definitely feel a little uncomfortable in my heart..."

"Of course, you can say that he is not rich enough. If he made tens of millions a year, he might not think so much about that pair of 2,000 shoes, but he would also have the same concept of 200,000 items. This It’s a bottom-level way of thinking that won’t be eliminated, but the threshold will increase with income, so this is the core of the contradiction.”

"Once three views are formed, it is difficult to change. Even the older you get, the more ingrained they become, so people always become more stubborn as they get older."

"As for your best friend's ex-boyfriend, I think he said what he said based on this. He may have a mother who cares about a few dollars, or a father who has been talking in his ears since he was a child about how bad the family's financial conditions are. …It’s not that this is wrong, but that this kind of growth environment has given him a perception of money. This perception is difficult to change due to changes in his living environment. His sensitivity to materials It’s probably something your best friend can’t understand…”

Jiang Lili looked a little sad and said, "If you say this, I can still understand it."

"In addition to material things, there may be differences in other aspects of cognition. He should have realized these rationally, so he would feel that two people are torturing each other when they are together. After all, if I feel that you don't have money for certain things, It's time to spend it, but you think it doesn't matter. As time goes by, I will be in pain, and this pain will be passed on to you soon."

Jiang Lili was silent after listening, and suddenly asked Yi Yang seriously: "Yi Yang, how did you come up with these things?"

Yi Yang was slightly startled and said with a smile: "Uh... I just thought about it casually. What's wrong?"

Jiang Lili was silent for a moment, then smiled: "It's nothing, I'm a little tired, I'm going to take a shower."

"Um."

Looking at Jiang Lili's leaving figure, Yi Yang also fell into silence. He picked up the cup and took a sip, then was slightly startled...

It's Jiang Lili's cup, with fresh lip marks.
