Chapter 196: Inferiority
Seeing that my expression was numb and I was not talking for a long time, Mi Cai asked with concern: "Do you feel uncomfortable if you drink too much?"
"A little bit, I feel upset."
"No wonder I didn't say a word from just now, so don't drink so much wine in the future."
I nodded and didn't say anything, and the matter about Xiang Chen setting up a cabinet in Zhuomei was just taken over.
When I returned to the old room, I became more and more dizzy. I lay on the bed before I had time to wash up. Even if I closed my eyes, I felt that the whole room was rotating. I felt a little uncomfortable. It was not until a coldness came from my face that I felt a little more comfortable. When I opened my eyes, Mi Cai wiped my face with a wet towel.
I grabbed her hand and said to her, "It's getting late, you can go back and rest earlier."
"You have drunk so much wine and no one can take care of you. I will stay here tonight."
"I'm fine, you go back."
"Zhaoyang, what's wrong with you? I used to stay here, but now... now we are together, why do you want me to leave?"
At this moment, I didn't have the ability to think, but the alcohol seemed to stimulate my instinct to not bother her, and urged her in a vague way, saying, "You go back and rest quickly, okay?... Before I met you, I lived like this every day, didn't I live well?"
Mi Cai didn't say anything. I turned over, turned my back to her, and didn't say anything. I just felt a pain in my head and a dizzy feeling, and then I lost the ability to communicate and fell asleep.
...
At night, my stomach began to stumble, and I stumbled to the bathroom and stumbled and vomited like myself. Then I was exhausted, leaning against the toilet, sitting on the ground, staring at the toilet in a daze.
Finally, I felt thirsty. I went back to the living room and picked up the teapot and wanted to pour a glass of water for myself, but found it was empty and I was too lazy to boil a pot. I directly took a cup of tap water and drank it all, but gradually woke up under the stimulation of the freezing. I remembered some conversations with Mi Cai when I was still conscious.
Under the influence of alcohol, people often express the truest thoughts in their hearts. Therefore, I, who are not controlled by consciousness, will let Mi Cai leave and are unwilling to cause trouble for her, but I can't remember that she is my girlfriend now. On the contrary, the better she treats me and the more she is accommodated by me, the more I feel guilty!
As my thinking was chaotic, I remembered the scene when Jian Wei drove me on a ride with her newly bought Cadillac on the afternoon many years ago. I felt depressed. I thought that at that time, I had already let my inferiority take root in my heart. In recent years, my own failure has continued to nourish this small bud like fertilizer. Finally, I grew into a towering tree, and then firmly dominated my values and love views.
In a bored manner, I took out a cigarette from the cigarette box placed on the coffee table and lit it. I took a sip of it tastelessly, and then lay tiredly on the sofa, looking at the ceiling habitually in a daze.
After smoking a cigarette, I returned to my room and found a heat-insulating kettle on the cabinet at the head of the bed. It turned out that Mi Cai had prepared hot water for me when she left, but I didn't notice it. Then I drank a glass of tap water without temperature in a daze, which somewhat mocked me.
Even when she was in a state of hostility with Mi Cai, she didn't ignore me, let alone now we are in a relationship! How could she leave? At least she would prepare a pot of hot water for me after drinking? But I didn't expect this. She subconsciously was full of her beauty, her status, and her wealth. Then she locked herself in a vicious circle and touched her with her hands, but her heart struggled to escape.
Human nature is complicated after all. At this moment, I don’t understand myself very much, but I am indeed troubled by many negative emotions. So I asked myself: What exactly triggered my emotions at this time?
I think it was after the ecstasy of being together gradually faded away, and the whole person began to return to rationality, and then inevitably measured this relationship with the gap in reality. Through the measurement, I gradually realized that with the lessons learned from the past, I have really lost the fearless courage of the ignorant.
In the following time, I kept lying in bed thinking about how to improve my own thing, but I had no idea at all. It was not until the bell of the drum tower rang that I realized: No matter how good I had in my entrepreneurial ideas, I was just a fantasy without funds to support me, so in the past few hours, I was just a fool having an empty dream, so I became even more lost and confused.
...
Without a trace of sleepiness, I got up at seven o'clock, cooked the porridge as early as possible, put it in a thermos bottle, bought some pastries that Micai liked, and drove to the community where she now lives.
After a while, I arrived at the destination, parked the car at the entrance of the community, and then called Micai. This time Micai quickly answered the phone. She yawned. She was obviously sleepy and woke her up by the phone ringtone. This surprised me a little because she usually turned off or mute her phone when she was resting.
I asked, "Didn't you get up?"
"Well, why did you get up so early?"
"I got up when I couldn't sleep... Why didn't you turn off your phone when you were sleeping today?"
"I'm afraid you'll be uncomfortable at night and call me!"
Mi Cai's words made me feel guilty and moved. After a while of silence, I said to her: "It makes you worried... By the way, I bought you a breakfast, and now it's at the entrance of the community. Tell me which building to live in and I'll send it to you."
"Why are you buying me breakfast?"
"I'll spoil you."
"Why do you spoil me?"
"Because you are my girlfriend!"
"Do you remember I'm your girlfriend?"
Only then did I realize that I had fallen into Mi Cai's words. She really cared about what I asked her to leave last night. After a while of silence, she said: "I just don't want you to be too tired. Moreover, I'm prone to losing my composure after drinking and drinking. I don't want to destroy my majestic image in your mind."
After my somewhat far-fetched explanation, Mi Cai no longer had to worry about what happened last night with me. After telling me which building she lives in, she ended the call.
...
When I entered the community and found the building number that Mi Cai mentioned, I found that she was not living in a suite, but a townhouse villa, and an independent courtyard with her car parked inside. In Suzhou, where every inch of land is valuable, the value of this small villa is simply unaware of it.
Mi Cai was still wearing her cotton cartoon pajamas and opened the door for me. I followed her into the small villa and was immediately attracted by the careful decoration in the courtyard. Looking at the flowing pool water and rockery, I felt that I was in a small garden in the south of the Yangtze River. I was even more curious about why Mi Cai gave up such a good living environment and lived in that old house.
As I walked, I sighed and said, "The environment here is very good, it's quite stylish!"
Mi Cai smiled and replied, "This house was given to me by my uncle last year on my birthday."
Mi Cai’s answer made me even more unable to understand the relationship between her and Mi Zhongde. Why did Mi Zhongde give her the best materially while also trying to force her so hard in the mall?
