Chapter 26:

As I grew older, I realized more and more a truth-time can heal everything except fat. ---End of this Tanmei, Hong Kong and Taiwan romance www.hjw.tw)))
I ran with Meimei for a week, along the main road, inhaling countless exhaust gas, and not thin at all. It's not an exaggeration, not at all! Even because of the sharp increase in exercise volume, my appetite was opened up, but I gained two catties.
despair. The stubbornness of fat makes me desperate.
But Meimei is really thin.
Lean at a speed visible to the naked eye. Her face was smaller than before, and her face was paler than before, because her way was too extreme. Crazy exercise every day without eating. I persuaded it twice, but it didn't work. She seemed to be desperate for the head chef of the Japanese food store.
Although I think...if that person is really Ash, he would not decide to alienate or approach her because of Meimei's fatness and thinness.
However, a week later, Meimei, with a look of food, was holding her phone, her eyes glowing and she said to me: "I added it to his WeChat."
I was taken aback.
Like holding a baby, Meimei turned on her phone, clicked on WeChat, and clicked on Ash’s avatar: "Look."
The person in the photo wears a chef's hat and a chef's clothes. The name is a simple word "Xu", which is concise and capable. The entire WeChat reveals the seriousness of "not talking about other things except work"
Cold
Light appearance, the style of that chef.
I was silent for a moment. Although it was a little untimely, I still asked: "You call him A Xu, the last time the KTV guy called him Xiao Xu, he called himself Xu, so what is his real name? Xu Xian?"
I whitened me and gave me a look: "This is just a pronoun. The real name is very important to us. We usually don't tell others. It's eloquent. Knowing the name means being caught."
I came to my realization at this moment: "So, the name you gave me is also a fake name? Code name?"
"Do you think my real name would be Yu Meimei? Li Zhizong would be Li Zhaozong? Goddess would be Jinhua? What do you think of us, Xiaoxin."
Fuck, I actually naively believed in them for so long! Never doubted!
"It's too natural for you to shout code names!" I protested, "Even the brothers and sisters named Li Zhiming and Li Peiping are called by this kind of name. Of course I think your name is this artistic style!"
"I don't necessarily know each other's real names when Li Zhaoming and Li accompany him." After Yu Meimei said, she obviously didn't want to discuss the name with me anymore. She tapped her phone, "Look, I added him!"
I glanced at Ash in the phone again.
"Did you take the initiative to add it or did he take the initiative to add it?"
"I took the initiative to ask his colleague to add it."
I was silent for a while: "You spent all the money you borrowed from you to eat at this Japanese food store, right?"
"It's not important. What's important is that I'm connected with him again."
Meimei said, touched the phone screen and clicked on their dialog. I saw that in the white dialog box, there was only one sentence from the white dialog box of Ash: "I passed your friend verification request, and now we can start chatting".
But there is no real chat content.
"Is that enough?" I asked her.
Meimei is holding her phone: "For now."
I looked at Meimei's drooping eyes and didn't speak.
After saying goodbye to her in the corridor and telling her to eat, I went home.
Opening the closet, a compartment was cleared from the closet, and two boxes were respectfully enshrined, one with a little black dress and the other with shiny earrings.
Both things were sealed intact by me and kept in the closet. I looked at the two boxes and was silent for a while, then turned my head and looked at the mirror attached to the cabinet. In the mirror, I did not have the warmth and tenderness of Meimei.
I think this is probably the difference between like and love.
I am the restlessness of my heart, she is desperately repressed.
I closed the cabinet and sat down at the computer desk. While refining the Meimei story that I had conceived before, while thinking, during this period of time, no matter how much I looked for, I couldn't find everything difficult. Li Yi didn't care, and Meimei didn't know. There is no news about the difficulties and the mysterious and unbelievable love.
For the next one or two months, life is still very ordinary. The temperature in Chongqing neglected the spring from winter to summer. Someone on the street wore short sleeves and shorts.
In the past two months, I have finished drawing the beautiful story I imagined. During this period, I was lazy and interrupted for a while. After being scolded by editors and readers, I woke up and started to update it intermittently.
During this period, I was urged countless times and threatened to send the blade countless times, but the serialization was over anyway.
In the beginning, the 24-page storyline was expanded to 48 pages under the urging of the editor. After the extravaganza, Meimei’s story got a good response.
The editor told me that my manuscript fee can be as long as twenty yuan per page.
I am very happy to tell the news to Jijijiang.
Jijijiang is a comic author I have met on Weibo during this period. Although the name is dirty, she is a very soft and cute girl.
She and I serialized different comics on the same website. She drew horror and suspense. The style of painting was completely different from mine, but she liked to read my comics. She said that my comics look warm and cute, but they are actually sugar. There is a ball of ice in it, and no matter how you look at it, there is a sense of indifference.
I was speechless for a moment. There is even a feeling of being seen through my life through comics.
Because I do seem to be...a bit indifferent.
I live under the same roof with Li Zhizhuang, Li Peiping and Meimeis, but I always feel that there is a layer of film. Perhaps Li Zhuangzhuang's rules are too good. He told me from the first day I entered the apartment, "We are different."
I still haven't forgotten the look and gesture of his words.
My friendship with Jijijiang also began when she said this.
Because I think I have seen my confidant.
I started to brag and gossip with her every day when I didn't draw, and occasionally played a few games of Glory of Kings. As "colleagues" who were not in the same city, we became more and more emotional.
During this time, I had long given up on running with Meimei.
Yes... At the beginning, I vowed to accompany Meimei to lose weight, but insisting on this matter is probably the natural enemy of mankind. After the three-minute heat passed, I watched Meimei continue to run alone with guilt, and in the end I was accustomed to lying at home lazily.
Meimei insists.
She has lost a lot of weight, and within two months, she and Ash's progress... there are also many.
When eating together occasionally, Meimei will show me the chat history between her and Ash.
From the beginning, Meimei persevered in saying good morning and good night, until Ash began to reply a morning and good night, they chatted more and more. When Meimei arrives at his restaurant, she will tell Ashh which dishes are delicious and which ones are worse.
Obviously, Ash is very concerned about other people's comments on dishes. Every time I talk about this, Ash's reply will increase.
After going back and forth, the topic is more than just the comments on the dishes.
They began to share their lives. Meimei talked about what she met on the road today, and talked about the weather. In his reply, Axu mentioned some work and exercise precautions, so that Meimei should not fast.
Later, Meimei rarely showed me the chat history.
But they never mention one person in their chat, that is, the "Beauty Baby" in Ash's phone.
I know the development direction of this matter, which put Meimei in a very delicate situation, but what can I say, I have seen Meimei's dream, and I can't judge what is going on with Ash. As a bystander, I can only remain silent.
Until one day, Meimei offered to say: "Xiaoxin, let's find a bar to drink at a bar."
I was shocked and looked at Meimei, who had lost a lot of weight: "You don't lose weight today?"
"Occasionally, it's fine for a day."
The door next door to me was pushed open. Li Peipei was wearing underwear and a pajamas and stood at the door. He didn’t wear any underwear, but the chest was covered by the pajamas, so that Meimei and I could feel the same for a moment. silence.
Li Peipei stretched out, half leaning against the door, holding his hands: "I seem to hear the word drinking?"
So the three of us packed up and set off.
It's the small bar in Jiefangbei again.
Li Peipei went crazy as soon as he drank, and went looking for a man by himself.
Meimei and I were sitting next to the bar. She raised her head and took a sip of wine. I bit the straw and sipped the juice, looking at her glass of Long Island Iced Tea, which was missing more than half in an instant.
"Axu told me today that I should stop contacting him." She smiled, "Yesterday, when I went to sit in his shop, I saw his girlfriend coming."
I was choked in my throat by the juice, and after strenuously swallowing, I looked at Meimei and was thinking of words.
I don't know whether to persuade her to say, "Let's go, he is already another person." It's better, or "Just do it, as long as the is swung well, there is no corner to dig." It is better.
Because this is her business, I have no right to help her make any decisions. And I know that the current Meimei said these things to me because she wanted to seek support that was consistent with her inner decision.
I don't know what decision she wants to make, so I have to listen to her.
"Her girlfriend, it seems to have found something." Meimei said, "I sent him a message last night, but he didn't reply. This is the only day I sent goodnight these days, and he didn't reply to me."
She spoke very calmly, just as she told me before, she likes rainy days, because every drop of rain has flowed by him.
"He told me today, don't contact me anymore. I know what choice he made. In fact, I knew it a long time ago, you see, so many days, fifty days and nights. If it were the old Axu , Don’t fifty days, don’t five days, don’t five hours, five minutes don’t, when he sees me, he will immediately hold my hand without any hesitation.
"But he remained ambiguous and hesitant, and I was too cheap to leave...send myself up like a fish and put it on his cutting board."
"Beautiful..."
"Xiaoxin." She interrupted me, "I had a dream."
"Huh?" The topic jumped too fast, and I didn't react for a moment.
She looked at the wine glass as if looking at her dream.
"I dreamed that I was the same as I was back then. I was held in his arms, so warm in that embrace." She shook her glass, her eyes blurred, "He lowered his head and kissed my forehead lightly, I heard him Tell me, I like you, stay with me."
Meimei laughed, her eyes crooked, so pretty.
"But he wouldn't let me answer, he said, Hush, don't talk, you sleep quietly in my arms, and when it's dawn tomorrow, if you are willing, just nod your head. So this sleep, I I slept so peacefully. As a result... I waited till dawn and opened my eyes, but suddenly realized, ah, it turned out to be my dream."
She raised her head and drank another sip of wine, as if this strong wine with ice can suppress the feelings in her body.
"Xiaoxin, do you know how lost I was the moment I woke up? I want to go back to my dream and sink into that embrace again. I hope that the sky will never be bright."
I was silent for a while, tentatively grasping Meimei's hand, her hand holding the wine glass was cold. It looks like sashimi cut open and served on ice.
"During this time, I really experienced a lot of emotions that I had never experienced before." Meimei said with a smile, "'I miss you,' do you know how to express this sentence euphemistically?"
She stretched out her fingers and counted them one by one: "Have you gotten up, have you eaten, what are you doing?" She paused, "I miss you for everything. And I think it's fair and straightforward. Tell him one sentence I miss you, but there is only this sentence, only this sentence, I can't say it. Because I have no position."
When Meimei was talking to herself, I couldn't get in a word.
I can only accompany her, watch her drink, wait until she gets drunk and then carry her back with Li Peipei.
Of course, it was Li who accompanied me, because although Meimei has lost weight, my strength is still not enough.
On the way back, the company was a bit annoying for Meimei, not because she was drunk, but because she kept chanting the same sentence repeatedly in her mouth.
"The love of his life, not me."
"Got it! Don't talk about it!"
I only sighed to persuade her to accompany me: "Just let her say a few words."
The two of us sent Meimei home. Li accompanied Li to open the door and went home to sleep. I thought that there seemed to be some sheets I had dried on the roof, so I went upstairs first. Thinking of what Meimei said just now, she couldn't help humming the tune of "Love in a lifetime".
"Bitter sea...turning up love and hate, in the world, it is hard to escape fate..."
I took the sheets, and suddenly saw a person standing on the roof behind the sheets—Li Zhitong holding his hands, wondering what he was doing alone on the roof in the middle of the night.
I looked at him holding the sheets, and he looked at me, a little quiet at night.
"Did anyone say that you sing well?" Li Zhaoyi asked me suddenly.
I blushed in an instant and my heart beat for a moment.
"No...no."
"Then what are you singing?"
"..."
If it weren't for knowing that he can fly, I would push him down now, I am definitely not kidding!
