Push Me Away When I Come, Don't Hold Me Back When I Leave - Chapter 160

Chapter 160: How Can a Lost Ship Find Its Safe Harbor Alone?

***

With her CPU feeling completely overheated, Xia Ruoming could only silently finish her breakfast without a word, then left alone to the garage to drive to school.

“Big sister~ Wait for me~” Ye Han’s voice came from behind.

“Listen, Hanhan, I need to go to school. Can you let me have some peace?” Xia Ruoming spoke with particular exasperation as she looked at Ye Han who came up and hugged her directly.

“Hm? I wasn’t planning to do anything to big sister, right? Isn’t it you who’s thinking weird thoughts?” Ye Han tilted her head innocently and said, “That’s not good, you know. If your head is always full of naughty thoughts, how can you study properly~”

Xia Ruoming: “…”

Caught again! Ah Ye Han, you really are my natural nemesis.

“If you don’t have any weird thoughts, why are you following me?”

“Isn’t it natural and right for big sister to take her little sister to school~ Besides, my car isn’t here, so please take me to school, big sister.”

What Ye Han said seemed to make sense. After all, Liu Ruoxue also hoped that one day when she found her long-lost little cousin, she would treat her like a real sister. Xia Ruoming had also been somewhat won over by Ye Han, that kind of aversion and fear she had towards Ye Han from her previous life had almost completely dissipated.

What’s the big deal about giving your sister a ride? It’s not a big deal at all.

“Get in.” After hearing Ye Han’s request, Xia Ruoming casually opened the back door, letting Ye Han get in the car too.

“Hehe, thank you, big sister~” Ye Han smiled sweetly, though the smile was somewhat fake, only half sincere, while the other half came from her act of being a caring and gentle sister.

“By the way, which university do you attend?” Xia Ruoming asked curiously. She remembered that in her previous life, Ye Han was a law student at a first-tier university, but in Hangzhou, besides Zhejiang University, there didn’t seem to be any other 985 or 211 universities. Could Ye Han also be…

If that’s the case, then the things that happened between her and Xu Fengwu in the previous life would make sense too, it seemed to be exactly like that.

And Ye Han’s answer was indeed as Xia Ruoming had expected.

“Zhejiang University, I’m at Zijingang too, in the same campus as you, big~ sister” Ye Han’s face suddenly showed a devilish smile.

Xia Ruoming’s previously relaxed face immediately fell. She could already imagine what kind of hellish battlefield her future life would become. If previously everyone could sit together peacefully and talk about life, then after the addition of this devilish woman Ye Han, their small circle would surely be turned upside down, and dramatic scenes would probably be abundant.

After all, not everyone is like Xiao Qinghan, and there aren’t many people like her either.

After driving into school and parking the car, Xia Ruoming got out with Ye Han.

“Well then, big sister, I’ll go first~ See you tonight~” Ye Han smiled and waved at Xia Ruoming, and for a moment it actually made Xia Ruoming think that having such a sister might not be bad.

But remembering last night’s events, Xia Ruoming immediately came back to her senses.

“You can go first, but let’s not meet tonight.”

“Tch~ Others want to be with me but don’t get the chance, big sister really has no taste.” Ye Han puffed her cheeks, and just as she was about to say something coquettish, she caught sight of Jiang Ruhua standing far away from the corner of her eye.

After a flash of craftiness in her bright eyes, Ye Han walked back to Xia Ruoming’s side.

“What’s wrong, Hanhan? Is there something else? Or did you forget something?” Xia Ruoming looked puzzled at Ye Han who had come back.

“Nothing, just thinking about how I can’t bear to part with big sister, I want another hug~” After saying this, Ye Han immediately hugged Xia Ruoming, even burying her head in Xia Ruoming’s chest, while glancing at Jiang Ruhua in the distance from the corner of her eye.

Xia Ruoming initially wanted to push Ye Han away, after all, doing such things at university didn’t seem quite appropriate, but after thinking carefully, don’t Chinese-style female friends often hug like this too? It didn’t seem like a big deal, so she just let her be.

“See you then~ big sister~” Ye Han blew a kiss at Xia Ruoming before running away quickly, only slowing down when passing by Jiang Ruhua.

Sorry, you came too late — When facing Jiang Ruhua, Ye Han put away the act she had been putting on in front of Xia Ruoming, no longer maintaining that innocent and pure appearance, and instead spoke in a particularly provocative tone to Jiang Ruhua.

“It’s fine, don’t you know? Sometimes the fastest shortcut is actually taking the long way around. It doesn’t matter that I came late, the way you’re doing this, she might get tired of you in 2 or 3 years, so, since you won’t stay long anyway, why should I care?” Jiang Ruhua didn’t get as furious as she did during their phone chat, but rather put on a very dignified appearance, though in her heart she had already cursed Ye Han eight hundred times.

“That’s good then, I thought you would care, Ruhua. It would be bad if our friendship was ruined over something like this, don’t you think?” Ye Han wasn’t affected by Jiang Ruhua’s words and continued at her own pace, “But you know, as your friend, Ruhua, I should kindly remind you. If someone marks the wrong destination on the map from the start, no matter how they walk, they won’t reach the correct destination. Taking the long way around will just waste your own time.”

“Well, thank you so much, Hanhan.” Jiang Ruhua’s expression changed slightly, but she didn’t show much emotional fluctuation, “After all, you’re the expert, Hanhan. You’ve walked towards the wrong goal countless times over the past dozen years, never getting it right once, you understand this better than anyone, your advice is indeed very helpful to me.”

“No need to be polite, Ruhua. After all, I have deep experience with this kind of thing. Those in the midst of it are blind; a ship that’s already lost cannot return to safe harbor by its own power alone. I’ve gotten lost countless times, and now that I’ve found someone who’s lost, how could I not warn her that the path she’s walking is wrong?”

Although both of their tones were very calm, the underlying confrontation was so apparent that even passersby who knew nothing about the situation could hear it.

Seeing that Jiang Ruhua had no intention of continuing their verbal sparring, Ye Han made a “shush” gesture towards her before walking towards her destination.

When Xia Ruoming walked to where Ye Han had been earlier, she found the little princess standing there motionless with a dark face, as if she had turned to stone.

“Good morning, little princess.” Xia Ruoming greeted Jiang Ruhua.

“Heh heh!” Jiang Ruhua made a cat-like grumpy face and laughed twice, then came over directly to grab Xia Ruoming’s hand, walking quickly towards the classroom.

Xia Ruoming, being pulled along the way, was full of question marks.

“What’s going on with little princess? I don’t think I’ve done anything to upset her, right? Even though she’s usually a bit tsundere, it’s not to this extent. Did she eat gunpowder today?”
