Ninety-one, Flight of Ideas (2)

  What has been done? Is it saying that one can't help but think of Ouyang Xiaoxiao and not like her? But, the things behind, is this something that can be said, but emotional matters are not something that one person can control or manipulate, it's an uncontrollable thing.

  "Alas, never mind, Mu Xian. I won't tell you after all," the sack suddenly let out a sigh.

  "Huh?" I was stunned.

  "Uh, I hung up the phone." The burlap sack looked very dejected.

  "Sack!" I shouted.

  "Oh, it's nothing, yeah, Lan Qi said she'll come visit us this weekend." After that, the call was hung up.

  On the other end of the phone, I held the mobile phone, and for a moment, I was at a loss.

  "What's wrong?" asked Gu Xue Lin.

  "Oh, I'm not quite sure either. The hemp bag has been beating around the bush all along, and I don't know what he wants to express. It seems like he's encountered something that makes him feel helpless."

  "He won't really let me guess, will he? Ma Dai wants to pursue Ouyang Xiaoxiao, but doesn't know if it's suitable or not. So, he wanted to call you and ask for your opinion. But when the phone got through, he didn't know how to start talking to you."

  "Maybe, it's really like you said." I shrugged indifferently, but in my heart, I was deeply hurt.

  "I think, maybe, Mai Tai is now hesitating whether to call Ouyang Xiao Xiao or not." Gu Xue Lin said to herself.

  I was taken aback and couldn't help but ask, "Why?"

  "He wants to probe Ouyang Xiaoxiao's mind, and he has to be good with his words."

  "Mm." I nodded thoughtfully.

  Gu Xue Lin's words made me feel even more downhearted.

  "Do you think gunny sack can match with Ouyang Xiaoxiao?" Gu Xuelin suddenly blurted out.

  "I don't know," seeing Gu Xue Lin repeatedly mention Ma Dai and Ouyang Xiao Xiao, I felt quite displeased in my heart.

  "I think they're a perfect match, made in heaven. " Gu Xuelin didn't notice the discontent on my face at all and continued to say.

  "Uh-huh." I responded, and suddenly felt a deep sadness in my heart.

  "Think about it, Ouyang Xiao is so talented and beautiful, with a great family background, and now she's even started her own business, earning hundreds of millions a year. And as for Ma Dai, he's got a great personality, always so polite and courteous, and when it comes to relationships, he's so dedicated and serious. I think they're just meant to be."

  "Uh-huh."

  "Just you wait and see, one day they will end up together. This is what people mean by 'a match made in heaven', where the couple is equally matched in social status, talent, and beauty."

  "Uh-huh."

  "Hey, are you even listening to me? Why are you just going 'uh-huh' all the time?"

  I was stunned for a moment and thought of changing the subject, so I thought of the blue scarf mentioned in the phone call.

  "Oh, and Ma Dai added, Lan Qi is coming to play with us this weekend."

  "Lan Qi is coming? Wow, I haven't contacted her for almost half a month. She seems to be online less often lately. It seems like she's leading another tour abroad again. Hmm, it's strange that she didn't tell me that she was coming to play with us this weekend, but instead told Mai Dai."

  Gu Xue Lin said, blinking her eyes in confusion.

  "That's because the gunny sack met her online, but you didn't meet her online." I also didn't know how to respond to her, so I just said it casually.

  "But she could have sent me a message." Gao Xuelin still looked stubborn.

  "Text messages are so expensive, one yuan per message! Going online is much cheaper!" I said discontentedly, speaking from the heart, hoping that this conversation would end soon.

  "It might be like that. Last month, Lan Qi came to find us at the school gate and left after saying a few words, it's really a pity, I don't know how long she will come this time." Gu Xue Lin said while trying her best to recall.

  "We'll talk about it later."

  To wrap things up quickly, I deliberately yawned and looked very tired.

  "Are you tired?" asked Gu Xue Lin, looking at me.

  I nodded slightly, "A bit."

  "Then go to sleep."

  "Uh-huh." I responded with a murmur, but remained seated and unmoving.
