Chapter 6: They're Getting Married

When I returned to my residence, Mi Cai's bowl of porridge was almost finished. My unfinished bowl of porridge was still steaming. I took out two salted duck eggs from the bag left by my father, handed one to Mi Cai and said, "Try it."

"I'm almost finished." This was the first time Mi Cai spoke to me in a normal tone in two days since I met him.

I smiled and said, "If you eat another bowl, you won't be fat if you eat white rice porridge."

Mi Cai ignored my suggestions and said, "Your dad is gone, you can move away too."

I looked at the wind and rain outside the window and discussed with Micai: "I won't move today, I will stay for another night, okay?"

"No." Mi Cai said firmly.

I slapped the chopsticks on the table and said angrily: "What's wrong with you, a woman? Do you know how soft-mouthed you eat? Spit out the porridge you just ate, and I'll move it right away."

Mi Cai looked at me with beautiful eyes, and was speechless because of my turn against me faster than reading.

I softened my tone again and said to her: "Sister, I have been working back and forth for a day today. I am exhausted now. Please let me go?"

"Scum, who is your eldest sister!"

"Miss... Is it okay?" I said quickly, and promised with confidence: "Tomorrow, I will move after get off work tomorrow!"

After a while, Mi Cai finally let go and said to me: "Remember what you said."

"Of course, we will move tomorrow!"

Mi Cai looked at me dissatisfiedly, picked up the bowl and walked towards the rice cooker containing white rice porridge, and then filled a small bowl for himself.

"Don't you stop eating?"

Mi Cai glared at me and said, "Anyway, the mouth is soft, so you should eat an extra bowl."

I shook my head and sighed: "Oh! People are so depraved!"

Although she joked, she peeled the salted duck egg and handed it to Mi Cai. She did not refuse, so the two of them continued to eat in a strange atmosphere.

...

After dinner, I handed the 3,000 yuan left by Dad Ban to Mi Cai: "I'll give you 3,000 first, I'll get the rest to you next week."

"Do you still have money to rent a house after I gave it to me?... Let's pay it back together in the future."

"This is what you are considering for me, but I'm not deliberately not paying you back." I said and stuffed the money into my wallet.

"As long as you move away quickly, everything else doesn't matter." Mi Cai said and took another sip of porridge. He seemed to like this porridge very much. Indeed, his skills in making porridge are unique. He could make the rice porridge the most ordinary.

"I'm not a plague god, you don't need to dislike me so much!" I sighed.

"With your character, can I like you?"

I smiled and didn't respond. Maybe I was really misconduct, or maybe she misunderstood me, but this is not important, and I don't need to clarify or explain, because after get off work tomorrow, we will draw a clear line.

I drank the porridge in the bowl in one sip, and then stared at Mi Cai. At this time, she was wearing a white long-sleeved chiffon shirt, black and white plaid pencil-shaped casual pants, and a slightly curled middle hair, which made her look very elegant, but thin.

I took out the knitted sweater left by my father, pretending to behave and gestured in front of Mi Cai. After a while, I sighed: "It's cold. Do you think this sweater is suitable for you?"

Mi Cai frowned: "What, do you still want me to take your hands short?"

"Really, it's especially suitable for you... If you are willing to let me continue to rent this house, I don't mind giving it to you. My dad said that this sweater was knitted by my mom, thick and warm in winter!"

"No blessing to be eliminated."

I smiled and handed her the sweater: "I'm kidding with you. If you don't rent it, you will give it to you. I have no plans to have a girlfriend for the time being. It's a waste to keep such a good sweater by my side. Even if I apologize to you for my unreasonableness yesterday."

My expression was extremely sincere. Mi Cai hesitated for a moment and actually took the sweater I handed her to her and said to me: "Okay, I accept your apology... I'll be nice to your dad. Don't deceive him anymore and make him worry."

"Is there any logical connection between accepting the apology and being kind to my dad?" I asked in surprise.

Regarding my doubts, Mi Cai said angrily: "You are really a scumbag!" After that, he stuffed his sweater into his handbag and pushed the door open and left.

I was the only one left in the room. I was a little confused and suddenly became angry. I sat down and thought for a long time before I realized that maybe she accepted my apology for the time being, and even made an exception to let me stay for another night. It was just out of sympathy for Dan Dad, and she was still indifferent and bored to me. In her eyes, I played with a woman's belly, deceived my own father, and rudely refused to keep her promises. What is it that I am not a scum?

Mi Cai did not live in this room this night. I thought: She must have other houses in this city, but why did she have to live here?

I racked my brains and couldn't figure it out, so I simply stopped thinking about it. There are always some strange people and strange things in this world. Moreover, this is not too strange compared to the world of all kinds of wonders, so there is no need to go to the bottom of it, just treat it as a performance art of rich people.

In fact, many times I like to live so confusedly, because the truth may mean pain, and only by gaining can you lose it. Therefore, if you don’t understand the truth, there will be no pain, and if you don’t get it, there will be no loss.

...

The next day I came to the company and after the weekly weekly meeting of the Planning Department, Fang Yuan and I walked out of the conference room side by side, followed by another colleague Zhao Li.

I lit a cigarette and put it in my mouth, waved to him: "Come here Zhao Li."

Zhao Li looked at me alertly: "What are you doing?"

“I heard you like outdoor sports?”

"Yeah, I like it very much!"

I smiled and said, "I have a professional outdoor equipment. I have never used it since I bought it. I will sell it to you at a cheap price."

"You don't like outdoor sports, so what do you do when buying outdoor equipment?" Zhao Li asked in confusion.

"It's because I don't like it, so I haven't used it. Just like the new one, I'm so happy! The Archaeoptera bird is cheaper, and I'll sell you a set of 2,000." I hooked Zhao Li's shoulder and said.

"Really?" Zhao Li asked overjoyed.

I said impatiently: "It must be true. You should give the money quickly. I will let Fang Yuan bring it to you tomorrow. I bought it and kept it at his house."

Zhao Li counted 2,000 yuan from his wallet and handed it to me, and told me: "Remember to bring it to me tomorrow. It's just the right time to go rock climbing next weekend."

I stuffed the money into my pocket and said, "Tell me yourself."

Zhao Li said to Fang Yuan, who had been absent-mindedly not far away, and said, "Fang Yuan, remember to bring me the outdoor equipment that Zhaoyang puts at your home tomorrow."

Fang Yuan came back to his senses and asked in confusion: "What outdoor equipment?"

"It's Zhaoyang's set of Archaeoptera birds, he sold them to me." Zhao Li explained patiently.

I took a sip of cigarette and immediately walked to the bathroom. Fang Yuan behind me cursed: "tmd, sell yarn, that's mine!"

He heard Fang Yuan say helplessly to Zhao Li: "Okay, don't be wronged, I'll bring it to you tomorrow."

...

After smoking in the bathroom, I returned to the office. There was a cup of coffee on the square table, wearing radiation-proof glasses, and my fingers were typing on the keyboard.

I turned on the computer, took the opportunity to play with the lighter in my hand, and talked to Fang Yuan again: "Where is the plan to set up a counter in our shopping mall?"

Fang Yuan didn't care about what happened just now, and sighed: "Yes, I've been busy for almost a week, and I's representative is negotiating!"

I responded and didn't ask again. Fang Yuan and I were two extremes. He was a desperate man at work and I had been just doing it. The result of the two completely different attitudes was: for two years, Fang Yuan was already the leader of the planning department and the copywriting planning team, and I was still at the bottom.

Fang Yuan suddenly stopped typing on the keyboard and stared at me with a worried look for a long time.

"What's wrong?" I asked, and I was a little confused about Fang Yuan's strange behavior.

Fang Yuan finally said: "I saw that you were in a bad mood two days ago. I didn't tell you something... Yan Yan and I are going to get married next week."

"I'm finally married!" I sighed subconsciously, and then my heart twitched in pain.

Fang Yuan was able to meet Yan Yan at the beginning because of Jian Wei and I. Yan Yan is Jian Wei’s best friend, Fang Yuan and I are Tie Cier. After I fell in love with Jian Wei, Fang Yuan and Yan Yan had an opportunity to get to know each other, and then they fell in love.

During the years of college, the four of us often played together and established a deeper friendship. We joked several times that we got married together after graduation.

Fang Yuan and Yan Yan came to the palace of marriage to achieve success. It was a great joy, but it also exposed my pain and loneliness and ruthlessness... I finally failed to continue my love with Jian Wei.

Sometimes people’s pain actually comes from comparison... But at this time, besides being in pain and envy in loneliness, and blessing Fang Yuan and Yan Yan, what else can I do?

The past will eventually turn into dust, but the wind cannot blow away, falling on your heart, making your world go to ashes.

I smiled at Fang Yuan and said, "My buddy's wedding invitation, come here at a speed."

Fang Yuan nodded and took out the wedding invitation from the drawer and handed it to me. I opened it. On the photo of the wedding invitation, Fang Yuan and Yan Yan were filled with happy smiles.

.....

After a long silence, I asked Fang Yuan: "Will Jian Wei return to China after you get married?"

"You know, since she moved from Los Angeles to New York, she has been unable to contact her, but Yan Yan sent her an email a few days ago, but she hasn't replied yet. No one can tell whether she can't come back."

"Oh, is that?" I responded calmly, stopped talking to Fang Yuan anymore, pressed my fingers on the computer keyboard, but my eyes looked at the screen and lost my mind.
