You Don't Need to Envy Her

"Bro, it's good enough that you're aware of that."　　

The student with the spectacle was about to diss Qin Yang when he heard Li Siqi urging Qin Yang to pursue Wen Yuyan, but as soon as he heard what Qin Yang said, he swallowed all of the sarcastic words back into his throat.　　

He had already admitted that they were not equals and that it would be impossible for him to pursue her. Why should he still insult him then?　　

He was already aware of that, okay?

"At Zhonghai University, the number of people trying to pursue her queues from her dorm to the campus gate. She is the goddess of the university that everyone approves of. It's true that every university would have its own school belle and, of course, all of them would be very pretty. However, she's not only beautiful on the outside, but she also has the brains and capability. I'm afraid that you will never find anyone else as unique as her amongst all the universities in this country."

Qin Yang nodded in agreement and did not think that this student was exaggerating. Every university has its own goddess, and each of them are beautiful in their own ways. However, there was no one else like Wen Yuyan. She had already completed her courses by her third year and had already established a company worth a hundred thousand dollars all by herself.　　

Qin Yang curiously asked, "With such beauty and brain, there must be a lot of people going after her. Has anyone ever succeeded though?"

The boy shook his head and said, "Nope. Where would ordinary people find the courage to pursue her? Her capability would put them to shame, and they would be embarrassed as well. Even if they can summon up enough courage to pursue her, they still have to get past her Guardian Knight."

"Guardian Knight?"　　

Li Siqi was so curious that she even stopped eating her favorite mashed potatoes. "He's… also one of her pursuers?"

"Yes, his name is Yu Wentao. He is the vice president of the Elite Alliance club. Some people say that he should have been the president of the Elite Alliance club, but he gave the position of the president to Wen Yuyan. Of course, this is just a rumor and only the senior members of the Elite Alliance club know the truth."　　

As he was interested, Qin Yang continued asking, "This Yu Wentao is also a very powerful person?"

There was a sense of jealousy and admiration in the boy's eyes. "Of course, Yu Wentao comes from a good family, and it is said that his family is a leading figure in ZhongHai. The Guardian Knight is a nickname that others have given him because he has publicly pursued Wen Yuyan for a long time. He will do anything for Wen Yuyan. Although Wen Yuyan has not accepted him, he is not discouraged and is always looking out for her. Whoever wants to pursue Wen Yuyan will immediately become his enemy... "

Qin Yang couldn't help but laugh. "Just so that they wouldn't get close to her?"

"That's right, Yu Wentao is the vice president of the Elite Alliance club and is also the chairman of the student council. He has both authority and ability. How could anyone have the courage to directly face Yu Wentao? There were a couple of them who thought they could do it, but they all ended up in vain….."　　

Li Siqi curiously asked, "Well, what about Wen Yuyan? She doesn't care about all this?"

The boy with the glasses smiled and said, "Wen Yuyan has publicly said that she is not interested in dating now. As for those who try to pursue her, that's their right. They have the right to pursue her, and she also has the right to reject them. As for Yu Wentao, she also holds the same attitude towards him. What the others are doing is none of her business. She can't control them, and she also doesn't care much about them."　

Li Siqi nodded understandingly. "That's reasonable, Wen Yuyan is powerful, so she must be a proud and arrogant person. If even someone like Yu Wentao doesn't catch her attention, then the person who does must be even more powerful than him. Doesn't this make Yu Wentao a good sharpening stone?"

Qin Yang turned his head and frowned. "You mean, Wen Yuyan is purposely using Yu Wentao as a shield?"

"At the least, if Yu Wentao is the shield, she will have much less trouble. Otherwise, a large group of pursuers will flock around her like flies all the time. I am afraid that it would upset her as well. In other words, if someone like Yu Wentao isn't good enough for her, then the person who is must be much better than him."

Qin Yang curled his lip and lightly said, "But love is not a business where you have to meet a certain criteria to be in love. If the prince can fall in love with Cinderella, then the princess can also fall in love with a poor boy."　　

 Li Siqi smiled and said, "You're not wrong, and I do agree with you, but if the man is not capable enough, do you think he will be happy with such a powerful woman like Wen Yuyan?"　　

Qin Yang looked at Li Siqi and frowned. "Are you trying to say that a couple must have the same capabilities in order to be happy?"

Li Siqi shook her head. "That's not what I meant. It's definitely not wrong for a man to be inferior to a woman, but I think a man should at least have the ability to stand up tall and have the confidence to face difficulties. At least, have enough courage to protect the woman that he loves."

"Although this society promotes equality between men and women, it is still a patriarchal society. If a man is incapable of helping or protecting his own woman and has to rely on his own woman instead, especially under the circumstances that she is such a powerful woman with so many strong competitors going after her, even if he knows that she loves him, can he withstand all that pressure? Will the pressure, later on, become difficulties and cause trouble for them in the future?"

Qin Yang thought about it and did not refute Li Siqi's words because he felt they made sense. The story of Prince Charming and Cinderella was just a fairy tale, and they were different from reality.　　

There were already so many in real life who were in love but did not live happily ever after.　　

Li Siqi noticed that Qin Yang was being very quiet, so she slightly raised her chin. "What's up? You don't think I'm right?"　　

Qin Yang smiled and said, "No, I think you're being very reasonable. You really have thoroughly thought this through."　　

When Li Siqi heard that Qin Yang agreed with her, she had a proud expression on her face. "Of course, I have put a lot of brainpower into things like these."　　

Qin Yang could not help but laugh. "I think you should change your name."　　

Li Siqi curiously asked, "To what?"　　

"Wang Po!"　　

Li Siqi's eyes stared at Qin Yang and wanted to refute, but she couldn't help but laugh instead. "Are you saying that I complimented myself? Like how a potter praises his pots?"　　

Qin Yang nodded and very seriously said, "It seems that you are aware of it."　　

"You have no mercy even to beautiful girls! You better watch out, or else you might end up being single for the rest of your life!"　　

Qin Yang shrugged his shoulders and said, "Well, that isn't too bad. I can get used to some peace and quiet."

Li Siqi held her cup and looked at Wen Yuyan, who looked like she was waiting for someone by the side of the road. Her eyes flashed with envy. "She's also a third-year student like me, but she's living the life instead. Why is the gap between us so huge?"

Qin Yang smiled. "Actually, you don't need to envy her."　　

Li Siqi's eyes lit up. "Why, do you want to say that I'm pretty as well?"

Qin Yang shook his head. "Don't overthink it. I was going to say that although Wen Yuyan is powerful, she doesn't know me. You, on the other hand, are sitting right opposite me, and you even have a drink that I bought in your hand. You're the luckier one instead! Be happy about it!"
