Chapter 1174: Gender Equality

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

Although Zhao Ying had played games like Super Mario as a child, she was still very curious about the kids’ games of this era. But at the moment, how could she be in the mood to think about this?

In fact, Xiao Qing also noticed Zhao Ying’s thoughts, but they were out before, and she was embarrassed to ask. Now when she returned home, there was not as much to be concerned with. She hesitated a little while before she opened her mouth. “Yingying, is there something bothering you?”

” Ah … Sister Xiao Qing, you noticed it too?” Zhao Ying did not expect Xiao Qing to notice it. In fact, in school, most of the time, Zhao Ying was with Sun Jie. It was reasonable to say that Sun Jie noticed her joys and sorrows, but Xiao Qing was very busy every day. In addition to the class, she had to deal with matters in the department. As a result, her contact with Zhao Ying was only limited to dinner at night usually.

“When you were in class, you were absent-minded. You had been whispering with Sun Jie. Don’t think that I didn’t see it.” Xiao Qing smiled and said.

“So that is the case…” Zhao Ying’s face was red, and suddenly, she remembered that when she was a teacher, the little movements of the students were actually seen clearly from the podium.

“You have also been a teacher. You should be naturally clear, right?” Xiao Qing took the TV remote control from Zhao Ying’s hand and placed it on the coffee table next to her. Then, she kicked off the slippers and hugged her legs on the sofa. “Is it a relationship issue?”

“Yeah? Is it so apparent?” Zhao Ying did not understand how she could let Xiao Qing see through it.

“When you are at this age, what else can women have besides relationship issues?” Xiao Qing looked at Zhao Ying calmly and said, “I also used to be your age. Besides this, what else can be bothering you?”

” Ai … Sister Xiao Qing, you tell me. Should I not care too much about feelings? Should I concentrate on my studies?” Zhao Ying thought about her own imaginary love, and she was immediately discouraged.

It was hard to have hope finally, but now it was turned into disappointment. She always lingered between hope and disappointment, and it was always repeating. Like a strange cycle, she could not escape, nor could she change it.

“From a teacher’s point of view, you are right. As a student, you should focus on academics. But as a friend… Some words, I still have to say. This love thing, sometimes, once it’s missed, you really can’t find it again.” Xiao Qing also thought of her own life… Song Hang? It can’t be said to be love… What I really didn’t want to miss is actually the present.

However, she only dared to expose her feelings for Yang Ming in front of Sun Jie. She could not confess to Zhao Ying about it. However, as long as Yang Ming graduated from college and was no longer a student, everything would become much better.

“Yeah… I missed it…” Zhao Ying also kicked off her slippers, curled up on the sofa, and her gaze was a little lost.

“Yingying, what are you talking about?” Xiao Qing frowned and looked at Zhao Ying puzzled.

Zhao Ying smiled bitterly. “I have missed it…”

“You already missed it? What do you mean?” Xiao Qing asked a little baffled.

“How is the game? Which level are you at?” Sun Jie wore pink pajamas, wiping her hair with a bath towel as she walked over.

“We’re not playing. I am discussing relationship issues with Yingying!” Xiao Qing waved at Sun Jie.

“Didn’t we say that we will talk about it when we go to sleep tonight? How did you start talking about it first?” Sun Jie ran quickly and sat on the sofa. “What have you said up to?”

“We didn’t say anything, and you ran out.” Xiao Qing shrugged. “It’s my turn to bathe. You accompany Yingying to play for a while; wait for me to come out.”

“Okay.” Sun Jie nodded. She turned on the TV with the remote control, switched to a component signal, turned on the game console, and handed a controller to Zhao Ying.

Zhao Ying’s mood was not very good, but when she saw Sun Jie’s enthusiasm, she went along and started playing. Although the operation was different from the previous version, it added a lot of somatosensory operations. This cross-board game was easy to get the hang of.

Unknowingly, Xiao Qing came out of the bathroom, and it was Zhao Ying’s turn to take a shower. So Zhao Ying handed the controller to Xiao Qing and walked to the bathroom.

“Has Yang Ming recently contacted you?” When Zhao Ying entered the bathroom, Xiao Qing asked Sun Jie softly.

“No, didn’t he go to work in Africa? Why? You miss him?” Sun Jie smiled and looked at Xiao Qing. “It seems that our sister, Sister Xiao Qing, is also experiencing relationship problems!”

“Don’t talk nonsense.” Xiao Qing glared at Sun Jie. “Normal worries only. There has been no news for a long time. Don’t you worry?”

“Me? What is there for me to worry about? Yang Ming, this person, don’t look at how carefree he is all the time. He is actually really amazing!” Sun Jie now thought more highly of Yang Ming.

” En , this is true.” Xiao Qing was more in favor of Sun Jie’s point of view. Indeed, Yang Ming was more sophisticated and calm than his age, although he often seemed not serious.

“Let’s play games. We will talk about him again when Yingying is not here. Don’t let her know… Otherwise, it’s a little shameful.” Sun Jie pressed the start button of the game.

“What’s so shameful about that?” Xiao Qing grinned.

“Isn’t it shameful to steal a man?” Sun Jie snorted. “But I am planning to give up.”

Xiao Qing naturally did not take Sun Jie’s words seriously. Whether or not Sun Jie liked Yang Ming, she could still see it. Although Sun Jie did not admit it, it was also an established fact.

Zhao Ying entered the bathroom and took off her clothes. She did not forget to take her phone out. She was afraid that Yang Ming would reply to her message, so she went into the shower and placed the phone on the shelf next to it.

However, the mobile phone did not ring. Zhao Ying had checked the message records several times, and she had not sent it to the wrong recipient. In addition to several advertisements in the inbox, she had not received any new messages today.

Zhao Ying sighed slightly, and after a simple rinse, she walked out of the shower. After all, she took a shower every day, and there was really nothing to wash. It was just to refresh herself.

Seeing that Zhao Ying walked out of the bathroom, Sun Jie also paused the game in her hand and waved to Zhao Ying. “Yingying, come on. Let the two of us experienced people give you advice and help you analyze the tangled romantic world.”

Zhao Ying replied, ” En ” and fell on the sofa. She was too lazy to dry her hair, so she let the water droplets fall on her pajamas.

“Where did we leave it before? You said that you have missed it?” Xiao Qing continued the topic and left the game controllers aside.

After listening to Xiao Qing’s words, Zhao Ying was a bit sad. Indeed, she missed it. “Some things have been missed. Can I go back?”

“It depends what it is…” Sun Jie said, “If it is like the feelings I had with Qingqing, it is better to miss it.”

“What I talked about… of course, I didn’t want to miss it…” Zhao Ying sighed. “But, when he wanted to kiss me, I declined it…”

“Declined? Why did you decline it? Did you not like him at the beginning, but later discovered it?” Sun Jie asked.

“No, at the time, I just thought that I was older than him, and the identity of the two of us were somewhat different, so…” Zhao Ying said bitterly, “At that time, I thought that I liked him, and he liked me too… ”

“When you regretted it later, can’t you say it?” Sun Jie shook her head. “Haven’t you heard of it? It’s easy for a female to pursue a male.”

“Yes, what is the big deal?” Xiao Qing was also somewhat disapproving. She and Yang Ming were like this, so it was acceptable for boys to be younger than girls.

“Yeah, I thought so afterward…” Zhao Ying said quietly, “But later, he had a girlfriend…”

“He has a girlfriend? Why are you afraid that he has a girlfriend? You can compete for it!” Sun Jie said disapprovingly, “If he is not married, it does not count. Even if he’s married, you can be a mistress.”

“…” Zhao Ying was speechless. She hesitated and said, “He has several girlfriends…”

Sun Jie was picking up a strawberry to put into her mouth. After listening to Zhao Ying’s words, she almost spat it out! And Xiao Qing on the side also had a horrified expression! No way! Who else is so brave?

They thought that only Yang Ming was such a special guy. They didn’t expect that Zhao Ying’s crush also had such a bad*ss presence…

“It’s surprising, right…” Zhao Ying saw the expressions of the two people and thought that they were surprised because they heard that Yang Ming had many girlfriends. So she said, “However, he is very outstanding… but, I also reminded myself that I am not suitable for him…”

“And then…” Sun Jie was a bit speechless. She didn’t expect the fate of the three to be almost the same. They all fell in love with such a man, although she was not sure whether she would follow Yang Ming in the future.

“And then… then I found out that I still can’t forget him…” As Zhao Ying said this, she was somewhat embarrassed. “Am I stupid?”

“Stupid? I don’t think so…” How would Sun Jie say Zhao Ying was stupid? Saying that Zhao Ying was stupid was equal to saying that she and Xiao Qing were stupid too. For this kind of thing, she still couldn’t do it. “Liking a person is your right; it has nothing to do with being stupid or not…”

“Then you tell me. What should I do?” Zhao Ying really did not know what to do.

“What about it? Since you like him, go ahead and pursue him! Who cares how many women he has?” Sun Jie naturally couldn’t preach the concept of monogamy in front of Zhao Ying, maybe she would fall into the arms of Yang Ming in the future. If she wanted to preach this now, wasn’t it finding trouble for herself? So, to not have Zhao Ying laugh at her in the future, she could only persuade Zhao Ying.

” Ah …” Zhao Ying did not expect Sun Jie to say this and was somewhat surprised. Normally, Zhao Ying thought that Sun Jie was a very strong woman, whether it was treating those who pursued her or towards the people in her company.

Zhao Ying had gone with Sun Jie to her company before. From looking at how she ran her company, she was a very strong woman and a feminist. How could she have such an idea?
