A Midsummer Encounter (11)
“Arwen get up.” A voice called out to me and it kept shaking me over and over.
As soon as I felt my body shaking, I woke up and yelled, “Earthquake!”
“What earthquake? I’m the one who told you to get up.” So it was Xiaoyao who came to tell me to get up.
I shook my head with a bitter smile, then lay down on the bed again and said, “Xiao Yao, it’s a rare day off today, so just let me sleep a little more, okay? Don’t disturb me.”
When Xiao Yao saw my attitude, she scolded me loudly, “Wen, get up, Qiao Xin is coming over later.”
I had already put my head inside the quilt, but when I heard Xiao Yao say that, I immediately stuck my head out and asked, “Qiaoxin! Qiaoxin is coming over too? What are you two up to?”
Xiao Yao first sat on the edge of my bed, then looked at me and said, “Of course there’s something wrong, but I’m still bored to come here?”
It was then that I opened a pair of sleepy eyes and looked at Xiaoyao and asked, “What in the world is going on?”
Xiaoyao pulled me up and said, “Get up quickly, you’ll see later.”
I see Xiaoyao pulling my action, on a whim, I hugged her, and then lay back on the bed together, Xiaoyao was so hugged by me, immediately screamed and said: “Ah Wen, what are you going to do in broad daylight ah?”
I moved my head to Yoyo’s ear and said, “Yoyo, it seems like it’s been a long time since we…”
Xiao Yao, however, kept pushing me away, and then said, “Ah Wen, stop messing around, wait for Qiao Xin to come over, it won’t be good if she sees it.”
I wanted to say, ‘Qiaoxin and I have fooled around before, so what’s there to be afraid of.’ But I knew that if I went on, there would be another ‘family dispute’, so I said, “What are you and Qiaoxin doing?”
Xiao Yao broke away from my embrace at this time, then stood up and said with a slight anger: “Ah Wen, look, my clothes are all wrinkled, how am I going to play later.”
When I heard that, I hurriedly asked, “To play? What do you want to play?”
Xiao Yao first organized herself all dressed up before saying, “I went to look for Qiao Xin yesterday and told her to come over to your side this morning and we’ll go out together.”
When I heard this kind of action from Xiaoyao, I smiled bitterly and said, “Why are you so boring.”
Xiao Yao heard that I not only didn’t praise her, but also taunted her, “Hmph!” She turned her head, beamed, and stopped talking to me.
When I came to see this situation, I wanted to say something nice, but I wasn’t the one who suggested it, so I buried my head back under the covers and tried to go back to sleep.
At this time, it seems that someone is coming again, I heard a voice saying: “Xiaoyao, why are you standing here in a rage?”
Isn’t that Qiaoxin? She’s really here! When I encountered this situation, I hurriedly hid under the quilt, not daring to make a sound easily.
Xiaoyao angrily pointed at me and said, “It’s all because of him, he said he didn’t want to go.”
Qiao Xin looked over in the direction Xiao Yao was pointing and said in confusion, “Him? You mean Wen?”
Xiao Yao didn’t even look at it and said, “Right, who else would there be?”
Qiao Xin smiled when she saw Xiao Yao’s face and said, “Let me talk to him, I don’t believe he dares not to go.”
Qiao Xin called out again and said, “Chen Wen, come out here.”
I had no choice but to lift the covers and sit up, and asked with a bitter smile, “Qiaoxin, what on earth are you and Xiaoyao so mad about? A rare holiday not sleep but also run out to go, have you not heard of the summer sheer sleep just right?”
Qiaoxin heard my words, and saw my appearance, smiled and asked: “Are you going or not.”
I only sighed and shook my head, then said: “Go, go, of course I have to go, you don’t you two beautiful women have any loss words, I don’t lose a lot.”
┅┅
I went on a trip with Xiaoyao and Qiaoxin, and on the way I asked Xiaoyao, “Xiaoyao, where are you going to play?”
Xiao Yao and Qiao Xin, however, smiled mysteriously and said, “You’ll know when we get there.”
When I saw this, I just shut up and obediently followed them.
Soon, I finally found out where we were going, they wanted to go to the “amusement park”!
Oh, my God, no. We’re not going to lose money this time.
Seeing my look, Xiao Yao smiled and said, “Wen, you don’t like to come out to play with the two of us, huh?”
I hastily shook my head and said, “No, I can’t wait to be happy, but I still don’t like it.”
Yoyo added, “Then how come you have such a face?”
I said, “No, I just remembered something.”
Qiaoxin was also interested and asked me, “Wen, what is it?”
I said with a bitter face, “I’m trying to figure out what to do with my life next week.”
Qiaoxin didn’t understand my words for a moment and asked me again, “What do you mean?”
Xiao Yao, however, laughed and said, “Ah Wen, what are you afraid of? It’s not like I’m asking you to pay for it.”
Qiaoxin then understood, and then looked at me with a smile and said: “Ah Wen, can not see that you are so stingy Oh.”
In my life, I hate to hear people say that I’m cheap, immediately replied: “Who said I’m cheap, you guys want to play what try to play, today I pay for it.”
Xiao Yao nodded her head and said: “That’s right, do you really want us two girls to pay for it ourselves?” After saying that, she pulled up Qiaoxin and said: “Qiaoxin, let’s go, let’s go in quickly.”
Then Qiao Xin and Xiao Yao ran in together, leaving me alone, standing over there by myself.
I thought to myself, ‘Isn’t this the same amusement park I came to with Essam?’
‘How so just in time, back here again.’
When I was still thinking about it, Xiaoyao called out to me and said, “Wen, hurry up and come over, or I won’t wait for you.”
As soon as I looked up and saw her and Qiao Xin’s appearance, I really felt as if I had been set up by the two of them today.
┅┅
I just followed behind Xiaoyao and Qiaoxin in such a silly manner, and kept playing with the two of them, but usually it was just the two of them playing while I stood at the bottom and watched.
At the end of Xiaoyao and Qiaoxin they two tired of playing, Xiaoyao proposed to go to do the Ferris wheel, Qiaoxin also agreed, I also had to accompany the two of them to sit.
As soon as we sat up, we heard Xiaoyao and Qiaoxin say, “Ah Wen, look outside, where do you see our home?”
I looked outside at this point as well, and when I saw this sight, I thought of the day ┅┅┅┅
Like a child, Yi Shan pulled me and said, “Chen Wen, look outside, look over there, that’s the musical instrument store, and that’s your school.”
I couldn’t help but laugh at Essam’s actions.
When Yi Shan saw me laughing at her, she was embarrassed and said, “Chen Wen, are you laughing at me?”
I shook my head and said, “No, I just realized that your behavior is the same as someone who has never been to an amusement park before, everything is very new.”
Yi Shan heard my words, beeped and said: “people really never come to the amusement park? Why do you still laugh at me like this ah.”
When I saw Yisan’s appearance, I hurriedly apologized and said, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I was wrong.”
When I saw that E-san still had her mouth open and didn’t say anything, I pointed outside and said, “E-san, look at your house over there.”
It was only then that Yi Shan looked out and said after a long time, “No, Chen Wen, you’re talking nonsense, my house is not on this side, it is impossible to see.”
I also pointed to the outside and said: “How can you not see, you see that there is not a building there, next to help a river, have you seen ah?”
Essam was trying hard to find the place I was talking about, and said happily, “Over there, over there, I found it!”
I pointed down a little more and said, “Look down by the river, there is a row of houses, and that first one is it.”
E-san looked at her for a while and said, “Chen Wen, that’s not my house!”
I laughed and said, “Soon, soon, it’s almost going to be your house.”
Yi Shan asked me suspiciously, “Chen Wen, what exactly does it mean?”
I held back a smile and said, “That’s my house.”
Yi-Shan was still confused, her face was still puzzled, and then she saw me laughing and said, “Oh, Chen Wen, you’re making fun of me, looking for death.”
When I saw that Essam was about to stand up, I immediately stopped her and said, “If you move around now, you’re really just looking for death.”
It was only then that Yi Shan remembered that the two of us were on the Ferris wheel, and first sat down and stabilized before saying, “Chen Wen, you’ll know when you go down later.”
┅┅
“Ah Wen, Ah Wen, what are you thinking about?” Xiao Yao said as she saw me lost in thought and called out to me.
I then came back to my senses and said, “No, just looking outside.”
Qiao Xin was skeptical and said, “Really? You look like you’ve remembered something happy.”
I hastily covered up at this point and said, “I was thinking that it’s certainly fun to be able to hang out with you two.”
Xiao Yao said in disbelief, “Really? But you didn’t look like that this morning.”
I hurriedly said, “Yes, how dare I lie to you two.”
Xiao Yao and Qiao Xin, however, said at the same time, “You’ve lied to us many times.”
Then the two looked at each other and laughed.
I saw them both laughing and laughed with them, hoping they would both stop pursuing the matter.
After a while, Xiaoyao stopped smiling and said, “Wen, you don’t want to think that this can be mixed up, what exactly did you just think about?”
My mind was hastily making up reasons at this point.
Before I could say anything, Xiao Yao said, “Wen, are you thinking about that girl who came here with you that time.”
Qiao Xin heard Xiao Yao’s words and asked me suspiciously, “That girl, who is Wen?”
I can only say helplessly: “It’s Yisan, alas! That was a long time ago, I didn’t think you’d still remember it, Xiao Yao?”
Xiao Yao ignored me and said, “Hmph! You’re still thinking about other girls when you’re out with us.”
Qiaoxin also asked me, “Wen, I haven’t seen Yi Shan for a long time, how is she now.”
Seeing Xiao Yao like this, I had the intention to hide up about Yi Shan, so I answered Qiao Xin and said, “I don’t know, I haven’t seen Yi Shan since last summer vacation.”
When Yao heard my words, she said in a skeptical tone, “Really?”
When I heard this kind of tone from Xiaoyao, I couldn’t help but laugh out and said, “Xiaoyao, you should know best, I’ve been with you for almost as long as I’ve been with you, whether I’ve seen her or not, you should know.”
Xiaoyao thought so, and then her face slowed down a little, and then asked me again, “So you were really just thinking about her?”
I thought that since Essam had been told, I nodded my head in acknowledgement.
Qiaoxin asked me, “Wen, why did you come here to play with Essam at that time?”
I was about to say the same thing when we also just about reached the floor and a staff member opened the door for us to get out.
┅┅
As soon as I got off the flywheel, I asked Xiaoyao what she wanted to play, and Xiaoyao first looked around, and there was a haunted house right next to her, so she pulled Qiaoxin to go in and play, but because I didn’t dare to go into the haunted house, she and Qiaoxin laughed at me for a while, and then they went in alone.
I sat down on the chair next to them and waited for them to come out, but when I saw this chair, I couldn’t help but think of Essam again…
┅┅
Yi Shan pulled me and said, “Chen Wen, let’s go in and take a look at the haunted house.”
I saw that Essam had just come down from the flywheel, and without taking a break, she wanted to play something else, and said, “Essam, let’s take a break first, and we’ll play later.”
Ezan, who happened to be tired as well, nodded and went to sit down in a nearby chair.
I bought two ice cream, take to Yi Shan to eat, Yi Shan is not polite, from my hands to take over and eat up, I see her this way, can not help but laugh at her said: “a girl, so nonchalant to eat other people’s things, will not say a thank you ah?”
Instead, Essam brought the ice cream to me and said, “Well, give it back, I’m not eating it.”
When I saw E-san’s behavior, I said with wide eyes, “You’ve eaten it all before giving it back to me.”
Essam then put the ice cream in her mouth first, then smiled and said, “I was really afraid you’d take it back and say it.”
I looked at her ice cream and couldn’t help but nod my head and say, “I do kind of want it back.”
Yisan looked at me and said in a petulant tone, “You’re thinking about it.”
┅┅
Xiao Yao saw me sitting on the chair again and gawking, so she scolded me and said, “Chen Wen, why are you sitting on the chair again and gawking.”
It was only then that I saw Xiaoyao and Qiaoxin walking out of the haunted house, I immediately stood up and said, “Do you guys want some ice cream? I’ll go buy some.”
Xiao Yao nonchalantly sat on the chair and said, “Sure, go get it.”
I then walked to a nearby store, bought three ice creams and came back and gave them both back.
While I was eating, I asked the two of them, “Do you still want to play? I see that the rides inside you almost finished, I think we go to eat Chinese food first.”
Qiao Xin nodded and said: “Yes, then to eat over there?”
Xiao Yao suddenly looked at me at that moment, then smiled mysteriously and said, “Wen, I want to eat at the place where you invited that Yi Shan to eat last time.”
I looked at the restaurant outside, pointed and said, “There?”
Yao looked at the restaurant and nodded.
I immediately shook my head and said, “No, it’s expensive over there.”
Xiao Yao’s face immediately showed an unpleasant expression and said, “You can just invite Yi Shan over there for dinner, can’t you invite both of us?”
I heard Xiao Yao bring up Yi Shan’s name again, so I had no choice but to nod my head and agree to her request.
┅┅
A waiter came up to us and brought us the menu and asked, “What would you like to order?”
After taking a look at the menu, I closed it and said, “Xiaoyao, you can order for me, I’m going to the restroom first.”
Then I walked out, just as I was about to reach the restroom, I heard someone shouting, “Isn’t that Chen Xiaodi? How did I happen to meet you here?”
I turned my head and saw that it was my uncle, so I called out, “Uncle, how come you’re here too?”
At that moment, a middle-aged man next to my uncle asked him, “Ah Chung, who is he?”
Uncle said to the boy, “Brother, he’s Xinhui’s colleague.”
The boy looked at me and asked, “Are you Xinhui’s coworker?”
I nodded and said, “Not really a coworker anymore, I should be considered her ministry.”
The boy said, “That’s right.”
Uncle then got up and walked next to me and said, “Little brother Chen, he is Xinhui’s father, I wonder if you could tell us a little bit about Xinhui’s recent situation?”
I said, “I’ve known the company for only a week, and it’s not…” Before I could finish my sentence, the boy said, “You don’t have to say anything, I don’t want to hear about her anyway.”
I saw that although that boy was saying that, the look on his face was not like that, but instead there was this wave of worry.
My uncle also saw this kind of sign, so he asked me, “I heard that this week Xinhui rushed to work and worked very late.”
When I heard this, I didn’t know that I had to tell Xinhui’s father, so I told him about Xinhui’s work during the week, and the boy kept saying, “How can she stand it?”
Seeing that I had finished, my uncle went over to the boy and said, “Brother, look, that ㄚ is working so hard, so you forgive her and let her come back.”
The boy, however, said stiffly, “Then why didn’t she come back to tell me herself, instead of asking me to call her back?”
Uncle also said: “Big brother, you do not in the mouth hard, in fact, I know you are the most concerned about the ㄚ, you just make a phone call or something, call her back to ah.”
The boy still hardened his mouth and said: “Do not even think about it, when she ran out against my words, should be expected to have the current situation, who told her not to be a good as a golden girl, but instead to go to the outside of such a show, really in the blessed do not know the blessing of ah.”
When I heard that boy talking about Xinhui like that, I couldn’t listen to him anymore and said, “Uncle.”
When the boy heard me calling him, he asked me, “Did you call me?”
I nodded my head and said, “Since you’re Xinhui Sister’s father, I’ll honor you by calling you uncle.”
Uncle nodded and said, “En, you young man’s manners are not bad.”
I added, “I don’t know if I’ll be so polite after that, though.”
When my uncle heard this, he asked me, “What do you mean.”
Without thinking, I said, “Although I don’t know much about what’s going on between you and Xinhui, but seeing your attitude just now I can almost tell why Xinhui’s sister ran out.”
Hearing these words from me, my uncle said angrily, “Young man, what do you mean by that? I have not treated her well. Since childhood, she wanted something, I have never let her disappointment, for her education, give her the best teacher, with the best environment, these are the circumstances I did not have when I was a child, and now I have given her, is it not good for her?”
Uncle said, “Big brother, of course, you’re certainly the best to Xin’er, little brother Chen, you should stop talking about it lah.”
I ignored my uncle’s words and continued, “Yes, you think what you give her is the best, but have you ever thought about what Xinhui thinks is the best for her? Do you think that what you couldn’t get when you were a child is what Xinhui wants? Have you ever really thought about Sister Xinhui?”
I took a breath and continued, “You said you gave her the best education, the best environment, do you know if everyone likes this kind of environment? I don’t think you’re wrong, but does what you think is right necessarily mean that it’s right for Xinhui? When she said she wanted to go out to work, you just stopped her. Have you ever tried to communicate with her? How dare you say you are a good father? In fact, there are a lot of children nowadays who are killed by parents like you, do you know that.”
I saw that uncle didn’t have any words to refute me, I thought that he should have come to his senses a bit, so I said: “Uncle ah, just now I just said what was in my heart, I don’t know what is in Xin Hui sister’s heart, but I can be sure that she still misses you very much, because yesterday when I was in the restaurant, I heard Pei Ling ask her about her family, she looked very nostalgic, I think a good parent should be able to let go of their identity and communicate with their children when necessary. looked very nostalgic, I guess a good parent should be able to put aside their identity and communicate well with their children when necessary.”
After listening to my words, uncle didn’t scold me, he just kept staring at me. Seeing this situation, uncle scolded me and said, “Chen Xiaodi, how can you talk to your elders like this? You quickly go away, in the future, also less contact with our Xin Er, and avoid her to be influenced by you.”
I nodded my head and said my last words: “I think you can all think that I’m talking nonsense, but there’s one thing that I shouldn’t be wrong about, and that is, no one wants to leave the warmth of their own family and go out to live a life on their own, right? Uncle, I think you should know more about Sister Xinhui. Then uncle, I’ll take my leave first.”
I then walked out toward the outside, and when my uncle saw me walk out, he said to my uncle, “Big brother, it’s my fault, I shouldn’t have called him in.”
Uncle didn’t answer his uncle’s words, but only muttered, “Am I really wrong?”
┅┅
As soon as Xiao Yao saw me come back, she immediately asked me, “Wen, where were you, why did you take so long to come back? The food is getting cold.”
I said, “No, I just met an elder and said a few more words.”
Xiao Yao asked in confusion, “Elder! Who is it?”
I shook my head, not wanting to say any more, and said, “Alright, stop talking, let’s eat first.”
Seeing this, Xiao Yao wasn’t interested in pursuing the matter any further, so she sat down with me and ate.
After a while, suddenly uncle came over, I saw immediately got up to welcome, said: “uncle, how did you come here ah?”
Uncle said in an apologetic tone, “Little brother Chen, I’m sorry for just now, I didn’t mean to scold you, but in front of big brother, I had to do it.”
I nodded my head and said, “This I know, isn’t it all about uncle and Xinhui’s sister?”
Uncle said: “Yes, but just now you say so my big brother seems to be a bit of realization, I think he may take the initiative to find Xiner it, so also really thank you just that words.”
I immediately and modestly said, “No, that’s nothing, I’m just saying what I think.”
After looking at Xiaoyao and Qiaoxin, my uncle asked me, “What are those two?”
I said, “It’s my friend.”
Uncle said, “Oh.” Then he said to Xiaoyao and the two of them, “Order some more food, don’t be polite.”
When Xiao Yao saw her uncle talking to them like this, she just nodded her head but didn’t respond.
I, however, became anxious and immediately said to my uncle, “Uncle, why do you say that?”
Seeing this expression on my face, my uncle smiled and said, “Chen Xiaodi, it doesn’t matter, I own this restaurant anyway, so you can count this meal on me.”
I said incredulously, “No way, uncle, how big is your business?”
Seeing me like this, my uncle patted me on the shoulder and said, “Young man, work harder, in the future you’ll surely have a better future than me, well you guys take your time to eat, I’ll leave first.”
┅┅
Before I sat down, I saw Xiao Yao and Qiao Xin’s puzzled looks, when Xiao Yao was about to open her mouth, I stretched out my hand and said, “Wait, I know what you’re going to ask, I’ll tell you guys in full.”
I then told the whole story about going to dinner with Xin Hui and Pei Ling yesterday.
But Xiaoyao and Qiaoxin are listening to more and more strange face, until I finished, I found that they both seem to be angry look, I asked, “What is wrong with you two? Why are your faces so ugly?”
Xiao Yao and Qiao Xin asked at the same time, “Chen Wen, did you really tell them that you don’t have a girlfriend?”
I thought in my heart: ‘So it’s because of this kind of small thing that I’m angry, alas! Just don’t say so much.”
I can only say, “Actually, I’m just trying to give them a little bit of a dressing down, not really talking about it.”
Yoyo asked, “What exactly do you think we are?”
When I saw the two of them like this, I knew that it was probably another temper tantrum, so I had to say softly, “Of course it’s as a girlfriend.”
Xiao Yao said, “Do you really think so? I don’t think so. Otherwise, how can you still seduce girls so casually?”
”Seducing girls? So-called, wait, wait, that’s really wronging me.’
I immediately defended myself, saying, “Yoyo, you… why do you say that? I didn’t just seduce a girl.”
Qiaoxin said unpleasantly, “Otherwise, what do you think that Xinhui has been asking you some questions? It’s just to find out more about you, and you told them that you don’t have a girlfriend.”
When I heard that, I immediately shook my head and said, “No way, it doesn’t seem like Sister Xinhui would like me, right?”
Xiao Yao said angrily, “You’re really stupid, she’s asking for Pei Ling, do you really not know or not?”
My heart at this time can not help but think of the general manager’s words: ‘In fact, Pei Ling which also child you have a good feeling, just did not say it.’
”Could it be that what the GM said was true! It can’t be.’
Xiaoyao saw me as if the default situation, even more relentless said: “Ah Wen, you think about it yourself also know it, I think you are deliberately pretending not to know it.”
I hurriedly denied it and said, “I didn’t, I didn’t, I really don’t know, Xiaoyao, you don’t want to talk about it, okay?”
When Qiao Xin saw me like this, she first told Xiao Yao, “Xiao Yao, I think Wen really doesn’t know anymore, so don’t go on talking about it.”
Then he turned to me and said, “Man, I know you really don’t know what they mean, so don’t think about it anymore.”
When Xiao Yao saw my reaction, she knew that I really didn’t know what they meant, so she didn’t say any more, and just said, “Wen, you should pay more attention to Pei Ling and Xin Hui in the future, and don’t let them have any more ideas.”
I didn’t respond to Xiaoyao at this time, I just kept thinking about whether Peiling really liked me or not.
Qiaoxin came over and pulled me up, saying, “Wen, let’s go.”
I took a look at the two of them first, then cleaned up my mood and said, “Have you eaten enough? Why are you leaving so soon?”
Xiao Yao, however, said, “I’m full of gas, but I’m still eating.” Then she threw her head back and walked out.
I saw Xiaoyao this way, with a helpless look at Qiaoxin, Qiaoxin see me this way, smiled and said: “I’m not like her so petty.”

Midsummer Encounters (12)
On this journey, I followed Xiao Yao’s back and never dared to ask her anything, Qiao Xin saw this and also walked behind Xiao Yao with me.
Qiao Xin first compared me and then Xiao Yao, I knew she was asking me to go talk to Xiao Yao, I immediately raised my hands and shook them from side to side.
Qiaoxin revealed a puzzled look at this time, so I moved my hand to my throat, after slicing along it, Qiaoxin saw me like this, and laughed lowly, and then immediately whimpered again, probably also afraid of being heard by Xiaoyao.
At this time, Qiaoxin leaned over to my side, whispered in my ear: “She seems to be really angry Oh.”
I showed a face of bitter melon, also whispered: “Ugh! I’m used to it, I can’t help it.”
Coxin leaned her body against my left hand and said, “Why are you so jealous, like I am not.”
When I saw Qiao Xin’s look, I also leaned my head over and said, “Yeah, it’s better for you Qiao Xin.”
Qiaoxin heard me praising her, her face was full of happy expression, and snuggled up to me again, pampered, said: “That, Ah Wen ah, next time we two come out alone will be good.”
I saw Qiaoxin this kind of look, only to realize that the original Qiaoxin want to please a person, really call people very difficult to refuse, I was about to agree, Xiaoyao suddenly turned around, looked serious and said: “Chen Wen, you dare to promise to see.”
Qiao Xin said, “Xiaoyao, didn’t we agree at that time that everything would be based on our own abilities? Why don’t you keep your promise now?”
I asked the two of them, saying, “What’s going on?”
Xiao Yao, however, stomped her foot and came over to pull my right hand and said, “Ughhh! Ah Wen, anyway, you do not agree to her is it.”
I stopped first at this point, looked at the two of them, and said unhappily, “If you don’t make things clear to me, I’m going to agree to no one and go back by myself first.”
Xiaoyao and Qiaoxin looked at each other like they were considering whether or not to tell me clearly. In the end, Qiaoxin seemed to want to speak out, but Xiao Yao stopped her and said, “Qiaoxin, do you really want to speak out?”
Qiao Xin looked at Xiao Yao, then at me, and finally sighed, still not speaking.
I, however, couldn’t stand the fact that the two of them had secrets to hide from me, and I immediately, without looking back, walked in the opposite direction.
┅┅
Once I got home, I realized I was wrong, I shouldn’t have gone that way, cost me a lot more money for the car, ugh! I don’t know what I’m going to do next week.
But in the end, I still don’t know what secrets the two of them have, and I thought to myself, ‘I wonder how they will react if I leave like this. I don’t know how they will react if I leave like this! I’d better not think too much.’
I just lay down in a blur and fell asleep.
┅┅
I don’t know how long I slept, but I kept feeling that there was someone next to me. I wanted to say it was a dream, but it didn’t seem like it, so could it…?
It can’t be, I haven’t done anything bad lately. After a while, I finally couldn’t help but open my eyes and turn on the light, trying to see who that person was, but it turned out to be Xiaoyao sleeping in my arms, so it’s no wonder I thought there was one more person.
I then patted Xiaoyao’s face and said, “Xiaoyao, Xiaoyao, wake up.”
Xiao Yao felt someone patting her face and heard me calling her before she reluctantly opened her eyes and said, “Wen, what are you doing?”
I pointed at myself and said, “What did I do? It should be what you do, how did you sleep on my side?”
Xiao Yao sat up first and yawned before saying, “It’s not all for you.”
I said in confusion, “For me? How can you say that?”
Xiao Yao rubbed her eyes and said, “Just after you left, I broke up with Qiaoxin, I wanted to go straight home, but I was afraid that you would be angry, and wanted to come and find you to explain, but who knew that as soon as I came, I saw you lying on the bed and sleeping, and I realized that you hadn’t been angry just now, and it just so happened that I was tired as well, and I just lied down and slept with you as well.”
I purposely pissed off Xiaoyao and said with a serious face, “How do you know I’m not angry? To tell you the truth, I still hate to see you.”
Xiao Yao saw me like this, smiled and said: “Wen, you do not pretend, see you like this to know you just did not get angry.”
When I heard Xiao Yao say that, I knew I couldn’t fool her anymore, so I said, “Right, I’m not angry, who am I to be angry with you, Miss Yao?”
Xiaoyao leaned into my arms and said petulantly, “Wen, don’t be angry, I know I went a little too far just now, but you shouldn’t have kept so many things from me.”
I said: “I only Yi Shan thing did not tell you just, where there is a lot of things hidden from you ah, and I have nothing at all with Yi Shan ah.”
Xiao Yao, however, looked at me with slanted eyes and asked, “Is it really nothing? Have you forgotten that I once went out with Lily? Did you forget that Lilly once saw you and Essam’s good deed?”
‘Lily! No way, did she tell all of it?’
I also said, “It’s all because of you, I just saw you and Xiang together that day, otherwise I wouldn’t have done it.”
Seeing that my attitude is still this tough, Xiao Yao beamed and said: “Of course I know that, and I didn’t look for you to settle the score afterward, but what about now? You don’t even have the slightest bit of regret, you still treat me with this kind of tone, Chen Wen, let me tell you, I’ve already suffered you.”
Of course, I know that I am wrong, so I can only say in a low voice: “Xiao Yao, my tone just now is a little bit worse, but it means that I care about you ah.”
Xiao Yao gave me a look, and again “Hmph!” s, turning her head away.
I had to use the last move, moved my body over and hugged Xiaoyao, but Xiaoyao kept struggling and said: “Ah Wen, don’t make a scene, I’m going to get angry if I make a scene.”
‘I think it’s the not making a scene that makes you angry.’
I then kissed Xiaoyao so that she couldn’t talk anymore before I reached over and turned off the light.
┅┅
This time after waking up, the first look at the clock to determine is more than nine o’clock, only to find that the stomach seems to be very hungry, I just remembered that the lunch meal seems to have not eaten, it woke up Xiao Yao, said: “Xiao Yao you want to go home ah?”
Xiao Yao said impatiently, “Don’t bother me.”
I asked again, “So, do you want to eat dinner? I’m going out to eat.”
Xiao Yao was so annoyed by me that she turned around and said, “I don’t want to eat.” Then she went back to sleep.
I had to get up and get dressed and go out to dinner alone.
┅┅
As soon as I got out, I didn’t decide in my mind what I wanted to eat, so I just wandered around and around before finally deciding that I wanted to eat at a snack bar next to my house that I always go to.
“Welcome.” A girl at the counter, greeted me.
I looked at that girl, with short hair and a little blonde color at the end, she looked like a normal delinquent girl. However, when I looked at the girl carefully, I found that the girl was very pretty and her eyes were very clear, so I realized that she wasn’t the kind of young girl you see wandering around on the street.
However, I found that this girl I usually have not seen, although I do not know the owner of this store, but is also considered a regular customer, inside the staff I have seen almost all, how to run out of a girl I do not recognize it?
The girl didn’t seem to know my doubts, and asked me with a smile on her face, “Sir, there is a menu here, what would you like to eat?”
I am this person is like this, see do not know the girl would like to say a few words, and there is a little doubt in my heart, so I asked the girl said: “Are you change the owner? Otherwise I have not seen you ah?”
The girl said, “No, I’m usually on vacation, that’s why you haven’t seen it.”
I nodded my head and said, “That’s right.”
At this time, a man with shoulder-length hair came over and said, “Wen, what’s wrong these days? I haven’t seen you come over to our side to have a snack.”
I looked at the man. So it was Akira. Akira is my neighbor and my senior.
Speaking of Mingzhang, really my college benefactor ah, when I was only a freshman, a move to this side, unfamiliar with life, Mingzhang play his unparalleled care for the younger students, teach me how to choose teachers, how to PASS, so soon I and Mingzhang mixed very familiar.
As for this snack bar, it’s also because Ming Zhang works here and told me to come over here to eat that I came here to eat.
I said, “It’s all because of that summer study program that I don’t have much time to spend my summer vacation.”
Ming Zhang with a sympathetic look at me, said: “Alas! Ah Wen ah, not I say you, when I told you not to repair the pawnshop king of the class, who asked you to be so iron teeth, now it’s good.”
I said helplessly, “You think I want to take it, if it weren’t for the fact that that class is mandatory, I would have dropped it a long time ago.”
That girl saw me talking with Ming Zhang, so she opened her mouth and asked Ming Zhang, saying, “Ming Zhang, who is he, he seems to know you very well.”
Ming Zhang patted me on the shoulder at this time, and with a smug tone, introduced me and said, “Xiao Mou ah, you’ve been going to our school for so long, haven’t you heard of the name Chen Wen?”
After hearing Ming Zhang’s words, the girl looked at me with skepticism and asked, “You’re Chen Wen?”
I elbowed Ming Zhang in the stomach and said, “Ming Zhang, how many times have I told you not to talk about me like that?” Then I turned back to the girl named Xiaomao and said, “Yes, I’m Chen Wen.”
Xiao Miao’s expression seems to have a little deflated said: “So the school rumors that Chen Wen is you ah.”
I couldn’t help but laugh when I heard her tone, because I had heard this tone of disappointment upon realizing that I was Chen Wen for I don’t know how many times during this year.
Ming Zhang was afraid that I would get angry and said to Xiao Mou, “Xiao Mou, how can you be like this?”
I said to Akira, “It’s okay, she’s not the first, I remember when you found out about this, you reacted the same way, I was still angry for a long time.”
Thinking of that time, Ming Zhang also smiled and said, “Yes, that time was the first time I saw you angry after knowing you for so long.”
I looked at Xiao Mai again, then asked Ming Zhang, “You said she’s from our school too?”
Ming Zhang immediately pretended to be alarmed and said, “Chen Wen, are you not even sparing the nation’s seedlings?”
I didn’t have the heart to say, “Yeah, Akira, you’re playing.”
Seeing me like this, Mingzhang no longer continue to joke with me, and pointed to Xiaomo said: “Her name is Huang Yuping, we all call her Xiaomo, studying entrepreneurship.”
I looked at Ming Zhang with a puzzled look, and then looked at Xiao Mou, Ming Zhang saw this look in my eyes, asked me, “Ah Wen, what is wrong with you ah?”
I looked at Xiao Mou before saying, “No, I was wondering why she wasn’t called Old Demon, but Little Demon.”
I still do not understand the explanation of the little one, looking at the little one said: “Minimum, Si, will not ah, your body is not bad ah?”
Ming Zhang at this time is even more laughing, Xiao Mou also red-faced, did not in the explanation.
In the end, Ming Zhang saw my stupidity, and finally said to me: “Ah Man, she is the youngest in the family, so the family called her Mou Mei, and friends outside call her Mou La, so you clear?”
That’s when it dawned on me, and I said, “No wonder, I was going to say how someone could be called Komo.”
Seeing that we were still laughing at her, Xiaomai said, “Chen Wenxue, you’ve been standing for so long, what exactly do you want to eat?”
I nodded and said, “Wait a minute.” Then I pulled Ming Zhang to the side and said, “Ming Zhang, I’m short of money this week, this meal is on you first, I’ll pay you back next time.”
But Ming Zhang said: “Ah Wen ah, want me to treat me to treat, but also said what next time to still want.”
I was embarrassed and said, “Yes, how about it, please?”
Myung-jang patted me on the shoulder and said, “Since you’re usually nice to me, this meal is on me.”
I immediately went over to Xiao Miao and said: “Give me a bowl of noodles, a bowl of rice, in the two small dishes, and then bring a bottle of soda.”
While taking notes, Xiao Yao asked, “Is this good enough?”
I looked at the menu and said, “I’m looking at it.”
Ming Zhang, however, immediately ran over and said anxiously, “What in the look ah, small.”
Then he said to me, “Mann, are you trying to eat my month’s paycheck?”
┅┅
While I was eating, since I didn’t have any guests, Ming Zhang sat down with me, and while he watched me eat, he also nonchalantly chucked in what he had paid for and ate.
I asked Myung-chang, “Why are you so late today? Don’t you usually leave at 8:00 or so?”
Ming Zhang first looked at the counter and found that the boss was not there before he said helplessly, “It’s not all because of what the boss said, he said that recently because of the summer vacation, the students have become fewer, so he hired fewer people, and we, the old employees, have to do it a little later.”
I pointed at Xiao Miao again and asked, “You’re not going to hire fewer people, why did you hire a new employee?”
Ming Zhang said with a smile: “Who said she is an employee ah, she is the boss’s brother-in-law’s brother’s cousin’s nephew ah! Anyway, I don’t know what kind of person she is, but she is related to the boss, so she usually stays at the boss’s house when she’s in class, and comes here to help out when she’s on vacation.”
I nodded my head and said, “Wow, did you put it on then?”
Ming Zhang shook his head and said with a bitter smile, “Every time he wanted to ask her out, the boss’s wife would come out to stir things up, and in the end, all of us employees as a group gave up.”
I looked at Xiaomo again, and realized that Xiaomo has a good capital, so I said to Mingzhang, “Then it’s a pity that we can only look at each other every day, ah.”
Myung-jang shrugged his shoulders to show that there was nothing he could do, and then continued, “But I’ve recently found a good sister.”
I thought that those who can make Ming Zhang feel good basically have certain conditions, so I asked Ming Zhang and said, “Who is it?”
Seeing that I was interested, Myung-jang went on to say, “It’s that ‘Queen of Topics’, Jiang Shumei.”
When I heard that it was Jiang Shumei, I agreed and said, “Indeed, she’s really good-looking, but do you have a way to hook up with her?”
Ming Zhang smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, “You also know that we are only paying lip service to all of this, and there really isn’t much that can be done if we really want to go after it.”
Then I remembered that she was sitting next to me, wasn’t she? So I said to Myung-chang, “Oh, yes, I remember when Suk-mee sat next to me in the cram school, so maybe…”
When Ming Zhang saw me smiling, he warned me, “Wen, you dare to think like this, be careful, I’ll tell Xiaoyao about it.”
‘Right oh, Xiao Yao is still sleeping at my home.’ As soon as I thought of this, I hurriedly ate a bite of food and then said to Ming Zhang, “Ming Zhang I still have something to do, I’ll leave first, thank you for today.”
As soon as I took my things, I headed for the door to go out, Xiao Mai saw me going out, called me and said : “Chen Wen Wen long, you have not paid it?”
I pointed at Akira and said, “It’s all on him today, you can take it from him later.”
Akira saw me pointing at him and waved his hand in our direction as well.
Xiaomo added, “So, will you come back again, sir?”
When I heard her ask that, I looked at her and asked, “What’s up, is something wrong?”
Xiaomai first looked at Ming Zhang and realized that Ming Zhang was collecting things before she whispered to me, “I’ll hear about you and Xiaoyao’s schoolmate.”
I also whispered, “I thought you heard it at school, why are you asking me?”
Xiao Yao looked at Ming Zhang again before saying, “I want to hear your own version of the story, the school heard different versions, I do not know which is correct.”
I said, “Oh, so you want me to tell you?”
Little Mai nodded.
I thought for a moment and said, “Sure, but…”
Knowing that I was willing to say yes, Xiao Miao pressed me and said, “But how is it?”
I laughed and said, “Of course that meal is on you.”
Xiaomai also smiled and said, “No problem, I’ll be waiting for you.”
┅┅
I’m on the way home, thinking about just encountered a small matter, this kind of thing in this year happened to me too many times, as long as it is not to recognize my people, as soon as I know that I am Chen Wen words, as if there will be a sense of disappointment, alas! Sometimes I think to myself: ‘Am I really not suitable to be that Chen Wen?
I remember one of the most fun experience, that time is also out with Ming Zhang, in the street just met our school girls, Ming Zhang said he wanted to borrow my name to hit on me, where I dared to say no ah, a walk over to introduce themselves, the girls even said to me: “Do you know how many such as you scoundrels, to pretend to be Chen Wen?
You guys aren’t bothered, we’re tired of hearing it.” Then this group of girls just all left, surprisingly none of them were willing to believe that I was Chen Wen.
After I told Xiaoyao about this, Xiaoyao almost died laughing, and said, “The next time the two of us go out, maybe they’ll scold me for impersonating Xiaoyao too.”
As I thought about this, I found myself with a good, bitter smile on my face, and, after organizing myself, I hurried home.
┅┅
Before I reached the door, I saw Qiaoxin waiting for me in front of the door, so I called out, “Qiaoxin, why are you here?”
Qiaoxin had been looking at the door of my house, as if expecting someone to come out, and now when she heard me calling her, she turned around, showing an excited face, and said: “Ah Wen, so you’re no longer at home ah?”
I nodded and said, “Yeah, I just went to dinner.”
When Qiao Xin heard my answer, she stomped her foot and said unpleasantly, “No wonder I waited so long.”
When I saw Qiao Xin’s movement, I smiled and said, “Qiao Xin, what are you waiting for me for?”
Qiaoxin looked at me with expectant eyes and asked first, “Did Xiao Yao ever come to you?”
I couldn’t bear to lie to Qiao Xin any longer, so I nodded.
Qiao Xin, however, lowered her head and said, “So she came first after all.”
I asked Qiao Xin, “What’s going on?”
Qiao Xin, however, shook her head and said with a slightly strange voice, “Ah Wen, don’t pursue me, I won’t tell you, I can only tell you that I might leave here.”
I remembered Qiaoxin’s words at the beginning, asked her and said: “you did not say at first to follow Alen to Hong Kong, these days I see only you alone, but did not see Alen in your side, I feel puzzled, but but too embarrassed to ask you.”
Qiao Xin raised her head at this time, looked at me with red eyes, and said, “Excuse me, Chen Wen, what on earth do you think I am to you?”
I saw Qiao Xin’s eyes red and swollen and realized that Qiao Xin was crying just now, no wonder her voice turned out like this.
I pressed my hands on Qiaoxin’s shoulders and comforted her, saying, “Of course I think of you as my beloved Qiaoxin.”
Qiao Xin, however, broke away from my hands and said, “No, I already knew that you were simply lying to me, you never regarded me as your girlfriend.”
I couldn’t understand why Qiaoxin was so angry, and said softly, “Qiaoxin, what makes you think that?”
Qiaoxin saw that I have no introspection, angry said: “Chen Wen, I ask you, the day before yesterday, you came to my home, is not at all afraid to go in to see me, and you heard that I want to go to Hong Kong with Alen, there is no reaction at all. In fact, I already knew that you didn’t have me in your heart at all. I was still lying to myself that you liked me. Chen Wen, let me tell you, now that my dream has woken up and my heart is broken, I will never think about you again.”
When I heard these words from Qiaoxin’s heart, I was surprised: “Do I really not care about Qiaoxin? ‘Do I really not have Qiaoxin in my heart?’
Qiaoxin at this time to see that I have no words of retort, even more angry, no longer pay attention to my walked out.
┅┅
As soon as I entered the room, I saw Xiaoyao sitting on the bed soberly, Xiaoyao saw me in this downtrodden figure, and asked me, “Qiaoxin, she’s gone ah?”
I didn’t answer Xiao Yao’s words, I just nodded my head to show it.
Xiaoyao came over to my side and said gently, “Wen, don’t look like this, I will be very distressed when I see you like this.”
I then took a deep breath, and exhaled a breath of air, said: “Xiao Yao, I think this is good, I can concentrate on loving you alone in the future, and you do not have to be suspicious over there.”
Xiao Yao heard these words from me, she knew that I was just holding back my grief, and wanted to comfort me, but I put up my hand to stop her and said, “Xiao Yao, I want to be alone, can you go back first?”
Xiao Yao was still worried about me and said, “Wen, do you really want to be alone? You really don’t need me to accompany you?”
I shook my head and rejected her, saying, “Xiao Yao, no need, I think I’ll feel better in my heart if I just think about it alone.”
Xiao Yao also no longer reluctant to stay, just said fondly: “that, A Wen, you do not in so sad, there are I accompany you ah.”
When I heard Xiao Yao’s words, I calmed down a bit and said, “It’s because I still have you with me that I can be so calm, otherwise I really don’t know how I will turn out.”
Hearing me say that, Xiao Yao knew that I was still clear in my mind and said again, “I’ll go back first.”
And then walked out alone.
┅┅
After Xiaoyao left, I lay in bed alone thinking about everything about Qiaoxin.
I thought of the time when I went down to save her when she was drowning; I also thought of the time when I met Jie and fought with him over Qiaoxin, and finally remembered that the day before she was to leave, those parting words were ringing in my ears again one by one.
It had its ups and downs, but it stayed with me all summer.
I remembered the unpleasant feeling in my heart when I saw Qiaoxin and Alen walking together when she returned to China, and I couldn’t get rid of it. I had no choice but to ask Alen to go after Qiaoxin, because I knew it was impossible for me to leave Xiaoyao, so I made this painful decision.
When I thought of this, I felt like I was about to lose my breath like a boulder was pressing on my chest. I immediately warped up and took a deep breath, and at this time, I also made a decision in my heart, I must make it clear to Qiaoxin.
I then immediately got up and went to Qiaoxin’s house alone.
Midsummer meeting (13)
As soon as I arrived at Qiaoxin’s house, I immediately realized that Xiaoyao and Qiaoxin were standing in front of the door talking, so I stood next to them in a hidden place, wanting to listen to what they were talking about.
┅┅
Qiaoxin took Xiao Yao’s hand and said in a concerned tone, “Xiao Yao, from today onwards, I will give Wen to you completely, you have to treat him well, otherwise when I come back and Wen is still like this, I will still steal him from you again.”
Xiao Yao said gratefully, “Qiao Xin, it’s really hard for you today, in order to let Wen say goodbye to you completely, even causing you to become like this, I’m really sorry.”
Qiaoxin, however, just shook her head and said: “Xiao Yao, this is none of your business, in fact, I’ve long known that A Wen heart only like you one, for me, just the general love of friends only, is my own has been unable to let go.”
‘General friend feelings.’ Hearing this, I couldn’t help but ask myself, could it be that my feelings for Qiaoxin were really just that of a general friend? Then why did I feel so sad when I heard that she was leaving?
Xiao Yao, however, asked, “If that’s the case, then why did you come to me that day and ask me to cooperate with you in this play, to make Man never forget you?”
”Oh my god, so they were just discussing to put on a play to fool me that day? Then what happened today. As I thought about today’s events and realized that they were all planned by Xiao Yao and Qiaoxin, I couldn’t help but feel like I was being cheated.
Qiao Xin heard Xiao Yao’s question and asked with a bitter smile, “Xiao Yao, you haven’t ever fallen out of love, right?”
Xiao Yao shook her head.
Qiaoxin, as if she knew Xiao Yao’s answer, immediately said: “I know like you this kind of heaven’s daughter, must not have ever been out of love, so you can’t possibly know the feelings of the heart of the people who are out of love, I want you to cooperate with me to play this drama, is some kind of compensation for the mentality, I know that I can’t ever get him back, but I have to make him never forget me. “
Xiaoyao said in doubt, “Do you really think Wen will remember you forever after doing this kind of thing?”
Cochineal said helplessly, “I don’t know, but it’s the only thing I can do.”
Xiao Yao sympathized with Qiaoxin and said, “Qiaoxin, in fact, this is all caused by me, I really feel sorry for you.”
Qiao Xin, however, was ungrateful and said, “I don’t need my opponent to apologize to me, nor do I need her to sympathize with me, I know that this time it’s me who has lost, and I have lost completely, but I don’t know if she can win all the way to the end?”
Xiao Yao asked Qiao Xin, “Qiao Xin, what do you mean by these words?”
Qiao Xin analyzed and said: “Xiao Yao, I can assure you that I’m definitely not the only girl around Wen, I think there must be some other people you don’t know.”
Xiao Yao thought and thought again, and said doubtfully, “I don’t know? Is there someone else besides Yisan, Lily and you?”
Qiao Xin, however, also just shook her head and said, “I don’t know, but I clearly feel that there is definitely more than that.”
Xiao Yao was a bit angry and said, “I don’t believe he dares to find me a girl.”
Qiao Xin looked at Xiao Yao’s attitude and thought that she used to think the same way, so she persuaded Xiao Yao and said: “Xiao Yao ah, nothing is absolute, when I left, I didn’t think that you would show up ah, but what about now? The truth is right in front of us.”
Xiao Yao’s confidence in her heart began to waver a bit when she heard Qiao Xin’s parsed words.
Qiaoxin also guessed that Xiaoyao’s heart is probably also a little bit of feelings, and then said: “In fact, I know that Ah Wen usually will not take the initiative to go after girls, because he does not have self-confidence, but he is the same attitude for every girl, are so kind, coupled with his mouth, so often there will be girls like him, and it is difficult for him to reject others, so you should be more careful. So you should probably be more careful.”
As if affirming Qiaoxin’s statement, Xiao Yao nodded her head and said, “Alas! What can I do? Who asked me to fall in love with him, I think, only let nature take its course.”
Qiao Xin, however, disagreed with Xiao Yao’s words, retorted: “Xiao Yao, although the end of the matter is not in our control, but the process we are the goal of our efforts, as long as you do not give up, I think Ah Wen’s final choice must be you, take me as an example is this.”
Xiao Yao heard Qiao Xin say that at the end of the day, she was pulling on her again, knowing that she still had a lot of dissatisfaction in her psyche towards herself.
So Xiao Yao was too embarrassed to say anything else, so she said to Qiao Xin, “Then Qiao Xin, I’ll go back first.”
Qiao Xin nodded her head and witnessed the first love rival of her life leave, waiting until Xiao Yao was completely out of sight before she shouted, “Chen Wen, you can come out now.”
I was surprised to hear Qiao Xin calling me, so she already knew I was over here, then she still said those things to Xiao Yao?
┅┅
I was really clueless at this point in my mind, not knowing what was going on in Qiaoxin’s mind.
Qiaoxin looked to me walked out, like seeing a stranger, and I isolated far away, then I really feel, I hurt her how much.
Qiao Xin then spoke up and said, “Chen Wen, you heard all those words just now.”
I nodded.
Qiao Xin added, “I was going to keep this completely closed in my heart and didn’t want to say it to you, but you saw it.”
I sighed and said, “Qiao Xin, why are you so bitter?”
Qiaoxin looked at me coldly and said: “Chen Wen, it’s come to this time, you don’t need to speak flowery words to me the most, I just want to know one thing, what are you doing here?”
I looked at Qiaoxin, knowing that she had a deep misunderstanding of me, and first clarified by saying, “Qiaoxin, don’t worry, I’ll never come here because of Xiaoyao’s relationship, but I have something I want to say to you clearly.”
Qiao Xin didn’t have any reaction either, she just said, “Fine, say what you have to say.”
When I saw this reaction of Qiaoxin, I was even more determined to make the words in my heart clear to her, so I pulled Qiaoxin’s body, over, towards me.
Qiao Xin showed a very scared look when she saw me react like that.
I said: “Qiaoxin, you want you to listen to my every word. I came here just want to tell you, I have never forgotten last summer vacation with you to voice all the things, I have not forgotten that time for you and Ajie in the jealousy, who knows I but two but to this end.”
Qiao Xin, however, coldly said, “This is all because of you, if you really liked me and hung on to me, you wouldn’t have had sex with Xiao Yao.”
I nodded my head and said, “Yes, I admit, I caused all of this, and I know that I hurt you too much, and I will come over here not wanting you to come back to me again, because I know that there is no way that I can give you happiness, and I just want you to know that you’re not in my heart as a friend.”
Qiao Xin heard these words of mine, but did not have the reaction I expected, and simply said, “Chen Wen, are you finished? If you’re done, you can leave.”
I knew it was useless to say anything at this point, but I finally said, “Qiao Xin, take care of yourself.” Then I lowered my head and turned to leave.
Qiaoxin saw me leave before her eyes filled with tears and she whimpered, “Ah Man, you know what? To love someone is not to possess them, but to make them happy, so please forgive me.”
┅┅
I came home and was so sad that I just lay in bed, lost in thought, not wanting to think about anything or do anything, just thinking it would be nice to live like this.
But after a while, and can not help but think of the Qiaoxin thing, I can not help but silently ask myself, whether everything has been too smooth lately, so that I for Qiaoxin is just a one-dimensional request, as long as she goes along with their own meaning is good, never thought of her feelings?
It was then that I remembered pushing her to Alen, why had I had that stupid thought then? Why couldn’t I have known how she felt in the first place?
Do people always have to lose something before they can appreciate it?
┅┅
‘Ah, it’s dawn.’ I watched the daylight slowly come in through the window.
I couldn’t sleep all night because of Qiaoxin, alas! Now I realize that I still like Qiaoxin very much, but..!
I shook my head vigorously, hit my face with both hands a few times, stood up and took a deep breath of air, and thought to myself: ‘Well, no matter what, those are all over, today is a new day.’
I organized my clothes first and prepared but picked up Xiaoyao to the company now.
┅┅
Seeing my eyes covered with red bloodshot, Xiao Yao asked me painfully, “Wen, you haven’t slept all night?”
I knew I couldn’t hide it from Xiaoyao, so I nodded and said, “Yeah, I thought about Qiaoxin’s matter all night.”
Xiao Yao said, “I should have known that I should have stayed with you yesterday.”
I saw Xiaoyao worried about me, touched and said: “Xiaoyao, I thought about it for a long time yesterday, I finally know, the original people are to lose before they can cherish, but I have already lost the important people in my life once, I do not want to lose you again.”
Xiao Yao heard my words, also looked at me with deep emotion and said: “Wen, don’t worry, I will always be by your side to accompany you, no matter what happens.”
┅┅
Pei Ling saw me to the company, as if very happy, said: “Chen Wen, thanks to you, we can successfully deliver the results today.”
When I saw Pei Ling’s face, I smiled and said: “Pei Ling sister, don’t say that, we are in the same group, of course we have to help each other. Right, then this time, do you want me to go and talk to Xiaomei about the operation part ah?”
Pei Ling, however, immediately refused, saying, “No, you don’t have to go this time, just get someone else.”
I felt strange and said, “So? But I don’t think there’s anyone more familiar with the program than me, right? If it’s okay, I think it’s better if I go.”
Pei Ling, however, shook her head and said, “No need, Chen Wen, you have other work to do this time.”
I asked, “What kind of work is it? I don’t know if I can do it.”
Pei Ling smiled and said, “With your kind of eloquence, that job would be easy for you, wouldn’t it?”
I said, “What kind of work is it?”
Pei Ling said, “It’s not finalized yet, I’ll talk to you after the meeting later.”
I nodded.
At this time Xinhui also came over and said, “Chen Wen, you wait and read through these documents first, it may help you.”
I looked at the documents in Xinhui’s hand and realized that they were not all about XX enterprise profiles.
Seeing my puzzled look, Xinhui said, “Chen Wen, you don’t need to ask anything right now, just read through these documents first, and I’ll talk to you after we finish the meeting.”
┅┅
That’s how Perrin and Xinhui both went to the meeting, while I stayed alone in the office looking at the papers.
I didn’t really want to read it, but I had nothing else to do, so I picked it up and read it.
It turns out that this document is not an ordinary general introduction to the company’s documents, but for the internal staff of the introduction of the document.
I was a little interested to look down carefully, the document began to write: “XX enterprises for Huang Guoxin, Huang Guozhong, Huang Guodong, three brothers created, when the company was created when the capital amount of only three million, and now the capital amount of more than one hundred and fifty billion above.”
”No way, ten and a half billion, how is that so impressive? To be able to earn from three million to fifteen billion.”
I thought to myself.
“When the company was first created, it was in the business of buying things on behalf of customers, helping them to buy something foreign and earning a commission on that.”
“In recent years, Huang Guoxin see the popularity of the Internet, so first from foreign countries to start, opened the online purchase of goods site, and generally, earn commission, with the beginning of only accepting orders from the United States only trafficking, but with the popularity of the Internet, now it has been the whole world trafficking.”
“And Huang Guozhong is more optimistic about the food and beverage is the people can not be missing, no matter how bad the boom, the food and beverage business can still survive, on three years began to set up food and beverage chains in various parts of the world, it is estimated that there are now about a hundred chain stores around the world, and the daily turnover of more than a few million U.S. dollars.”
“As for Huang was also three years ago, optimistic about the potential of their own company’s website, they opened a network advertising business, and sure enough, with the opening of XX Enterprises’ global website, the number of manufacturers whose want to advertise on the site is also unrecognizable.”
After I finished reading these profiles, I was very surprised at the methods and skills of these people to make money. However, I was very surprised and wondered how Xinhui and the others could have such detailed instructions.
I didn’t think much further, and after looking at the other documents again, I waited for Xinhui and Peiling’s return.
┅┅
As soon as Pei Ling and Xin Hui came back, I saw their faces and knew that the content of the meeting just now must not have been to their liking.
I immediately opened my mouth and asked, “Ms. Perrin, how did the meeting go? Why do you all look so bad?”
Xinhui shook her head and said, “Chen Wen, don’t ask, there are some things you’re better off not knowing.”
I said, “Wow.”
And then continued, “I’ve finished reading these documents, now what?”
Xinhui said : “Chen Wen, that plan might have to be delayed, right, so you don’t have to rush for now.”
When I heard this side, I knew that something must have happened in the meeting just now, and I didn’t ask any more questions.
Xin Hui said to Pei Ling: “Pei Ling, if Manager Huang keeps messing around like this, the company will be ruined by him.”
Pei Ling agreed with Xin Hui’s words and said, “I also told the general manager, but since Manager Huang holds 40% of the company’s shares, he has the right to decide on some things in the company.”
Xinhui said: “Although the words are so, but in this way, the results of our hard work, will become a waste of effort.”
Pei Ling said helplessly, “Alas! Only the boat to the bridge naturally straight it.”
I saw the two of them having a conversation and I couldn’t intervene, so I just dutifully played with my internet.
┅┅
After noon, Xiu Xuan came to me for lunch, I was a bit overjoyed, but of course she went with me.
When we arrived at the cafeteria, we became the center of attention of the whole company, but Xiu Xuan didn’t seem to care and asked me generously, “I heard that you helped Ling and the others to do a good job on Saturday, didn’t you? So that they can fulfill their duties today?”
I asked Su-hyeon in surprise, “How did you know?”
Soo Seon smiled mysteriously and said, “Naturally, someone told me.”
I didn’t press the issue and said, “By the way, Xiao Mei, did you go to a meeting with Pui Ling and the others just now?”
Soo Seon nodded and said, “Yes, how is it going?”
I said: “No, it’s just that when I saw the Peiling sisters go back, they had an unpleasant look on their faces, so I didn’t know what to do.”
Soo Seon said with a heavy face, “Actually, it’s all because Manager Hwang made things happen.”
I asked, “What’s going on?”
Xiu Xuan said: “Manager Huang found out that Xin Hui is the daughter of the general manager of XX enterprise that the company is trying to contact this time, so he asked Xin Hui to help the company to get the right to advertise, but of course Xin Hui was unwilling to do so, but Manager Huang said that if XX enterprise could not advertise and sell the product on behalf of the company, the company’s turnover would drop, and if necessary, he did not rule out the possibility of not launching the product. This product is a dilemma for Xinhui and the others.”
I said angrily, “Doesn’t Manager Huang know that there is no father and son in the business world? Even if Xinhui goes, she won’t necessarily succeed, and it’s even more difficult now that she’s not on good terms with her father.”
Xiu Xuan helplessly said: “In fact, these manager Huang know, not enough in order to force the general manager to step down, he would rather sacrifice the interests of the company.”
I said, “Can’t the GM sanction him?”
Xiu Xuan said: “Although the general manager is now the head of the entire company, but its own shares are less than Manager Huang, so there are many things will still be limited.”
I smiled bitterly and said, “It’s really hard to cook without rice.”
Soo Seon is going to smile bitterly and say, “I see that this time the general manager’s situation is in danger unless there is some kind of turnaround.”
I said, “A turnaround? What does that mean?”
Xiu Xuan looked at me and said: “In fact, I think you should be the general manager of the turnaround, from the moment you came to solve the problem of Pei Ling, to now see, maybe you have a way to help the general manager Oh.”
I immediately shook my head and said: “Impossible, Pei Ling those because I usually in school is to learn that, in order to help her, and the company’s business is not my line of work, I do not even understand, how can there be any way to help the general manager ah.”
Xiu Xuan did not think so, laughed and said: “That’s not necessarily so, maybe you’ve done the general manager a favor by mistake.”
I said, “Let it go, I don’t know how it’s going to go.”
Xiu Xuan asked, “By the way, Man, why aren’t you home on Sunday? I had to come all the way to see you.”
I asked Soo Seon, “What are you looking for me for?”
Soo-seon laughed and said, “Can’t I call you if there’s nothing else? Can’t we just get in touch with our classmates?”
I said skeptically, “Is that really true?”
Xiu Xuan was unable to speak by my questioning, and quickly forced me to say, “Where in the world did you go on Sunday.”
I then frankly told her about Xiaoyao and Qiaoxin.
Xiu Xuan heard it, but said, “Ah Man, I think you’re wrong, Qiao Xin’s attitude at that time might have been feigned.”
I didn’t understand and said, “What do you mean?”
Soo Seon said, “If it were me, I would have done the same thing at that time.”
I wanted to laugh a little and said, “I can’t understand what you women are thinking.”
Xiu Xuan said: “In fact, after Guo Zheng left, I really know that loving someone is not really possessing him, but want him to be happy, I think Qiao Xin should also think so, he did this so that you can focus on liking Xiao Yao.”
I couldn’t help but think back to Qiaoxin’s attitude, and asked myself, ‘Is it really like that?’
Xiu Xuan saw this puzzled look on my face and knew that I didn’t believe it and said, “Ah Wen, time will prove everything, one day you will definitely know.”
I nodded and muttered under my breath, “Maybe.”
I also thought of the problems I was having with my current economy because I went to play yesterday, so I asked Xiu Xuan in a low voice and said, “Xiao Mei, I have something I want to discuss with you.”
Hearing me ask her in such a low voice, Soo-seon said with a little interest, “What is it?”
I was a bit embarrassed and said, “Can you lend me some money?”
When Soo Seon heard that I was going to borrow money from her, she frowned and said, “Borrow money!”
I nodded my head and said : “Yesterday I went out with Xiao Yao and the girls, everything was spent on me, so now I’m almost over it myself.”
Xiu Xuan heard the original is like this, smiled at me and said: “Ah Wen ah, you are really full of Kai Zi master it.”
I smiled bitterly and said: “You think I want to ah, yesterday I did not want to go out, and finally reluctantly by the two of them to go to the two, to the other side also want me to pay, think do not want to talk about it.”
Xiu Xuan, however, said as if she was heartbroken, “Doesn’t that Xiao Yao even try to sympathize with you? She knows you don’t have much money, but she still pushes you like this.”
When I heard that Soo Seon finally said that, I also said, “Yeah, sometimes I really think she’s annoying.”
Soo Seon laughed a little and said, “It’s fine to lend you money, but will you pay it back?”
I patted myself on the back and said, “I swear on my honor.”
Soo Seon, however, shook her head and said, “I don’t really trust your personality.”
I spread my hands and said, “What else would you have to do to believe it?”
Soo Seon laughed and said, “I want you to guarantee it with your salary.”
I said, “Salary? Do I get paid for being here?”
Seeing me ask her this, Soo Seon laughed and said, “Don’t you know that trainees like you are also paid?”
I shook my head.
Xiu Xuan said, “Our company’s welfare is pretty good, I think a trainee’s salary should be around 10,000 a month, right?”
When I heard that, my eyes immediately lit up and I said, “Then I don’t have to borrow from you, I think I can survive until the end of the month.”
Soo-seon said, “But I want to borrow you.”
I said, “That’s fine, I’ll just pay it back then anyway.”
But Xiu Xuan said: “I don’t want you to pay back, I want you to always remember owe me a sum of money, so that you can never forget me.”
I heard these words, momentarily dumbfounded, Xiu Xuan saw that I can not even say, laugh and said: “Ah Wen, you really good at cheating it.”
I was a little scared in my heart at this time because of Qiaoxin’s matter, and said, “Okay, okay, let’s not talk about it, I’m going to go back first.”

Midsummer Encounters (14)
I was about to go back to the office when the general manager stopped me and said, “Chen Wen, wait a minute, I have something to say to you.”
When I heard the GM’s words, I stopped in my tracks and asked, “What’s the matter, Prime Minister Ri?”
The general manager said, “Did Perrin and the others say anything to you just now?”
I shook my head and said, “No? But I see them look like they are not satisfied.”
The general manager said: “Alas! This is my fault, I really should not let Manager Huang manage this matter.”
I didn’t understand what was going on, so I stood silently.
Shortly afterward, the general manager said, “Chen Wen, I have a favor to ask of you.”
I asked in confusion, “What is it?”
The general manager said: “You wait off work first to my office, I’ll tell you in detail.”
I nodded and said, “Good.”
The general manager also urged, “Chen Wen, don’t tell Pei Ling and Xin Hui about this.”
I nodded again and said, “Wow.”
┅┅
I returned to the office, although in my mind I kept thinking I wonder what the general manager will want me to do? But I couldn’t say it out and discuss it with Pei Ling and the others, so I had to put it in my heart and wait until after work.
Today, however, Perrin and Xinhui were perversely looking at novels at their desks!
I asked strangely, “Perrin, how come you guys are free to read a novel today?”
Pei Ling laughed and said, “Anyway, there is no more work, it’s still idle.”
I was a bit surprised and said, “Oh, so it’s okay to do anything when you don’t have a job?”
Xinhui said: “Chen Wen, you can to do not know these things at work?”
I shook my head and said, “I thought only people in public organizations could say that ‘reading tea and eating newspapers’ like that.”
When Xinhui heard my comments, she laughed and said, “‘Watching tea and eating newspaper’ is not something you can think of.”
Pei Ling said: “In fact, as long as we have a job, there is no vacation, do a good job until, and when there is no work, the company does not care about us.”
I said, “Do you have to come to the office on Saturday?”
Pei Ling asked, “Chen Wen, there’s no work right now anyway, I think you should accompany us out later.”
I said, “Going out? Where are you going?”
Xinhui said: “Just go out and stroll around, staying in the company is boring.”
When my boss speaks, I can say no, so I nod my head and say, “Yes.”
Pei Ling heard me agree and said, “Then I’ll prepare my things and we can go out.”
After saying that, he went to get ready with Xinhui.
┅┅
Soon I was in a department store, but I realized that it was a big mistake for me to come out with them, because they both liked to shop at the cosmetics and women’s clothing counters, and I was right behind them, helping them with their stuff.
After about an hour of shopping, they were willing to leave the department store, I was going to say that I should go back to the company, a kind of relief, but I heard Pui Ling said to Xin Hui: “Xin Hui ah, it seems that over there opened a fashion store, listening to my friend said, inside the style is very new, I want to go over there to take a look at it.”
Xinhui also agreed and said, “Yes, recently I also want to buy some summer clothes to dress myself up a bit.”
I really didn’t want to go, so I politely said, “Sister Pui Ling, will we be out too long?
Should we go back to the office for a bit and see if there’s anything going on?”
Pei Ling said, “Who cares, I’m going to have a good time today before I go back.”
Xinhui also chimed in, “Oh, Chen Wen, when you were students, did you often skip classes? Just think of it as skipping class, what are you afraid of?”
‘Skipping work! Thanks to her for thinking of it.’ I couldn’t help but laugh a little inside.
I urged them, “But…”
Pei Ling grabbed her hand and said, “But, but what? Chen Wen, if you don’t want to go, go home first, Xin Hui and I will go.” After saying that, she dragged Xin Hui away.
Xinhui looked at me first, then asked Peiling in a low voice, “Are you really going to let him go back alone?”
Pei Ling laughed and said, “I can’t believe he rushed back alone.”
Xinhui looked at me again and didn’t even move, and then asked Peiling, “But looking at him like this, he won’t necessarily go back.”
Pei Ling was also a bit worried and said, “What should we do then? Did I just say too much?”
Xin Hui laughed at Pei Ling and said: “Every time, I have to help you finish.” Then she turned her head and called out to me, saying: “Chen Wen, what are you still standing over there for? Why don’t you hurry up and follow me?”
I had really wanted to go back, but once I heard Xinhui calling herself, even if I wanted to go back, I was too embarrassed to go back alone, so I had to follow the two of them and wander down again.
┅┅
After arriving at that fashion store, it was still the same as just now the two of them were shopping again, still choosing clothes over there, but over here since there were men’s clothes, I was casually looking around.
The clerk came over to greet me and said, “Sir, the clothes here are all the latest styles.”
I nodded and took a look at a few more clothes that I thought were not bad, but as soon as I saw the price tag, I immediately put the clothes back and obediently stood over there waiting for Xinhui and the others.
Pei Ling saw me standing alone at this time, and came over to ask me, saying: “Chen Wen ah, I see that you wear the same clothes, why don’t you take this opportunity to buy a few pieces back.”
”Buy a few pieces back! Do you really want me to starve until the end of the month?”
I shook my head and said, “No, it’s good to have clothes to wear, so why buy any new clothes.”
Pei Ling said: “Chen Wen ah, people is to change dress themselves, in order to appear out of their own beautiful side ah, you every day like this, even if there is in the good side, other people can not see ah, you have not heard of the ‘people want to dress, the Buddha wants to be dressed in gold.’ Do not you know?”
I kind of wanted to laugh and said, “It’s okay, I don’t pay attention to my appearance.”
Pei Ling wanted to say more, but Xin Hui called out to her and said, “Pei Ling, Pei Ling, look at this nice dress.”
Pei Ling saw the dress in Xin Hui’s hand and walked over to look at the dress as well.
Xin Hui said with an ulterior motive: “Pei Ling, go and try it on.” Pui Ling was reluctant to do so, but Xin Hui secretly pointed at me, so Pui Ling took the clothes and went to the fitting room.
Xinhui waved her hand and asked me to go over to her place, so I walked over, Xinhui said: “Chen Wen ah, wait a moment, you help me to see, to see if Pei Ling looks good in that dress.”
I said: “should not need to see it, I think you and Pei Ling sister two, no matter what clothes to wear is very good, right.”
Xin Hui said happily, “Chen Wen, you’re very sweet, no wonder Pui Ling… um… anyway, just go and have a look.”
It was a bit strange for me to see Xinhui stop right in the middle of her sentence, but I was too embarrassed to pursue it, so I nodded.
Just as we were talking, Perrin had already changed her clothes and walked out of the fitting room.
The original dress is a set of red suit, Perrin put on, the upper half of the small show a little bit of the pearl chest, revealing a stream of gorgeous feeling, in conjunction with the short skirt under the pair of snow-white legs, look at my eyes to give.
Pei Ling saw my look and knew that I was mesmerized by her outfit, and smiled even more joyfully.
Xinhui saw my appearance, shouted me back to the soul and said: “Chen Wen, you look stupid ah?”
I just came back to my senses, a little embarrassed smile and said: “Pei Ling sister, if you wear this dress back to the company, to ensure that none of the boys can continue to work.”
Pei Ling heard me praising her, a happy smile appeared on her face and said, “Who wants to wear it for those smelly boys.”
I asked, “If you don’t wear it for them, do you want to see it yourself at home?”
Hearing my unintelligent words, Xinhui chided me and said, “Chen Wen, of course girls wear beautiful clothes to show their beloved ones, why don’t you even understand this?”
Pei Ling’s face reddened as if she was shy when she heard Xin Hui’s words.
In my heart, I was thinking: ‘Strange? Why hasn’t Xiao Yao ever worn any beautiful clothes for me to see?’
Seeing that I didn’t react, Pei Ling thought that I was shy, and interjected, “Xin Hui, I think you should wear this one too, I think it goes well with you.”
Xin Hui nodded her head and said : “Yeah, I’ll try it on too.” After saying that, she also took a dress from the waiter and was ready to try it on.
Perrin looked in the mirror again at this point, and her look made it clear at first glance that she really liked the dress.
After looking in the mirror, Pei Ling saw that I had been looking at her and said a little shyly, “Chen Wen, do you really think I look good in this one?”
I said frankly, “Of course, if it doesn’t look good on you, I don’t think there are many that would look good on you.”
Pei Ling then whispered: “Chen Wen, you know what? I’ve only worn beautiful clothes twice to show the boys.”
I was a bit curious and said, “Pui Ling, you should have had a lot of boys in your condition, right?
Don’t you go out with them often?”
Pei Ling shook her head and said: “In fact, I used to have a very strict tutor, there is no opportunity to contact with other boys, until after the work, there is no opportunity.”
I realized, “Oh, that’s right. I think one of the boys is the one you’re talking about, Kokusho, but I wonder who the other one is?”
Pei Ling, however, gave me a meaningful look and said, “I’m not going to tell you about it.”
I thought strangely in my mind: ‘This girl is really strange, not telling me just now and telling me so much.”
At that moment, Xin Hui also changed her clothes and came out, compared to Pei Ling, Xin Hui had a more wild beauty, because Xin Hui deliberately pulled down the upper half of her body a little bit, making the whole dress look like a low-cut dress.
I had already been charmed by Pui Ling once just now, so I had more self-control this time and joked, “Are you two trying to shut down the company?”
Xinhui flashed a charming smile and looked in the mirror to see if there was anything untidy.
At this time the waiter also said: “This dress, with the two ladies body type, really seems to be tailor-made for you ah.”
When Pei Ling and Xin Hui heard the waitress say this, they looked even more closely in front of the mirror.
The waiter added: “Two ladies, our set of bright red style production is not much, and can wear like you two so with not many people.”
Pei Ling turned around, looked at me and said, “Chen Wen, what do you think?”
Xinhui also said, “Yes, Chen Wen, do you think we look good like this?”
”It’s really boring, isn’t it? Why do you keep asking if the clothes look good when you buy them?’
I had to say again, “Of course it looks good.”
Perrine asked Xinhui, “How is it, do you like it?”
Xin Hui looked at Pei Ling, then at herself, and said, “Alright, we’ll both buy it up and wear it out together some other day.”
Pei Ling also nodded and said to the waiter, “Wrap both of these!”
┅┅
I asked the two of them, “Are you going back?”
After looking at her watch, Pei Ling said, “It’s time to go back, alas! It’s been a long time since I’ve had the pleasure of hanging out.”
Xinhui also nodded her head and said, “Yes, Peiling, I see that you haven’t been out shopping for a long time, but it’s really nice today.”
”Happy, happy?? How come these two like to build their pleasure on my pain.”
I had a bit of a helpless feeling in my heart.
Xinhui looked at my hands carrying a big bag and asked, “Chen Wen, you came out with us today and really suffered you.”
I also looked at my own hands with a pile of things, said with a bitter smile: “It’s okay!”
Pei Ling said: “Chen Wen, or we can treat you to something to eat before we go back!”
‘Wow! That’s very smart.’
I agreed and said, “Yes, but if you’re going to buy dinner, don’t just buy anything.”
Pei Ling looked at Xin Hui, wanting to ask her what she meant, Xin Hui had a smile on her face, indicating that it didn’t matter, before Pei Ling said, “Alright then, let’s go back to the company first, and then go out to dinner together in the evening.”
I then remembered the general manager’s words, and saw that it was almost time to finish work, said: “Right, we have to hurry back.”
┅┅
After work, Pei Ling asked me, “Chen Wen, let’s go.”
I was going to say that the general manager was looking for me for something, but then I thought that the general manager had said that he wanted to keep it a secret, so I said perfunctorily, “Wait a minute, I still have some things to do.”
Xinhui asked curiously, “Chen Wen, what else is going on?”
I smiled and said, “Uh, personal, personal matters.”
At that moment, Xiu Xuan came over to me and called out to me, saying, “Man.”
The three of us turned our heads together to look over, I didn’t know what Soo Seon was doing here, but Xin Hui laughed and pointed at Soo Seon and said to me, “A personal matter?”
Pei Ling’s face seemed to have an unpleasant expression, but I didn’t have time to think about it, and hurriedly denied it, saying, “No, not really.” And then said: “Xiaomei, you come here what is the matter ah?”
Seeing the three of us whispering like this, Xiu Xuan asked curiously, “Ling, what are you doing? Why are you all together?”
Perrin said, “No, we’re going to dinner later, do you want to come?”
But Xiu Xuan smiled and said, “How come it’s so coincidental? I’m also here to see Man for dinner.”
But then I asked, “Mann, you said you’re in a tight spot financially, why do you still want to go and eat with them?”
I said, “It’s their treat.”
Xiu Xuan looked at Pei Ling in disbelief and said, “Really? Then can I come along?”
Perrin laughed a little and said, “Yeah, it’s been a long time since the three of us went out together.”
Soo Seon pulled Pei Ling and said, “Let’s go then.”
Xinhui, however, pointed at me and said, “It’s all because of this guy, saying that he has a personal matter?”
Xiu Xuan looked at me suspiciously and said, “Ah Man, what is it? Why don’t you say it?”
I said, “Well… ah, if you’d like to go by yourselves, I really have a few things to do.”
Pei Ling said : “Otherwise, Chen Wen we will go home first, you come over later and go with us.”
I nodded and said, “That’s good.”
I asked again, “What about you, Mei?”
Xiu Xuan said, “I’ll wait for you at Pei Ling’s house too.”
I said, “Okay, then I’ll come over as soon as I’m done.”
Pei Ling said: “Do not be in such a hurry, you first go back to take a shower and then come over.”
Xinhui took a look at my clothes and said, “Chen Wen, remember to dress decently.”
I took a look at what I was wearing first, and said with a bit of embarrassment, “Sister Xinhui, this is the only one hundred and one item I’ve ever worn.”
Xiu Xuan heard my words, laughed at me and said: “Ah Wen ah, really nature can not change ah, I see you in high school dress so casually, I did not expect to go to college is still the same ah.”
I also laughed and said, “It’s my nature.”
I would have liked to take advantage of the New Year to think a little more, so that we can see enough, but recently to help the family work, the first day of the first day of the month tomorrow to go, really do not have much time, the next week also have to practise checking things, so the next posting may have to be almost March, at least to the 18th after, so I will be 13, 14 posted. 14 there is a little bit of not written, but I do not have the mood to write down, wait until I have a free hand, then make up a good posting it. I’ll make up for it when I have some free time.

Thoughts and hopes
In the past six months, I have written from ‘Yan Xia’ to ‘Midsummer’s Meeting’, and I have written out quite a lot of insights, although my works can’t be compared to some of the masters over here, but from the beginning, I am not looking forward to saying that my works will be very popular, but just writing out some of the ideas that I have in my mind. I think Yuan Yuan should be a good place for aspiring writers to publish their works, because no matter what type of work you do, there will be people here to appreciate it, and of course, there will be people to criticize it as well.
At first, I intended to put ‘Midsummer’s Meeting’ on my own website because I thought it was a bit out of place here, but in the end, I decided to keep it here until the people here gave up on me…
I’m hoping to finish the whole ‘Midsummer’s Meeting’ this year, otherwise I’ll have to take a break from writing for the second half of the year because of the JEE, and that’s the last thing I want.
By the way, this time I hope that all those who wish for a ‘midsummer’s meeting’ will come and sign in, write some congratulatory messages along the way, and wish that Won Won will be left standing.

Midsummer Encounters (15)
“Chen Wen!” The GM called out to me as I walked along.
“General Manager, what are you doing here?” I had only just left the office when I was surprised to see the general manager standing outside the door.
“I’ve been standing for ages.” The GM laughed.
‘Then won’t she see…?’ I pondered in my mind, and the expression on my face became very unnatural.
“Chen Wen, it’s okay, you remember to enlighten Pei Ling.” The general manager seems to have misunderstood the relationship between Pei Ling and me.
“General Manager, Sister Pui Ling and I…” When I was about to speak, the General Manager said, “Well, that’s not the subject I’m looking for you for today, I’m looking for you for another purpose.”
I was curious now, and asked the general manager, “General manager, what’s going on?”
“This is something that really shouldn’t have been asked of you, but they named you again, alas!”
Listening to the general manager, it seems that this matter is not simple.
I was listening cluelessly at this point and looked at the GM quizzically.
The general manager saw my expression, smiled a little, apologized and said: “I said too vague, let me explain it to you, you also know that we have to contact with xxx enterprise because of the business relationship, but after I talked to them on the phone today, they even named you to go, but in the way that you are a work-study student can not represent the company’s identity to go out to negotiate business, so the case is deadlocked. This case is at a standstill.”
I thought to myself: ‘xxx Enterprise, isn’t that Xinhui’s father’s company? Why would he want me to go there?
Is it for what I said the other day?’
The general manager went on to say: “But this case, if xxx enterprises do not help, we can be said to be a waste of time, I really do not want to let Pailing and Xinhui’s efforts in vain, so I will come to you privately.”
I finally understood the general manager’s attempts at this time, shouted loudly: “Do you want me to go to × × enterprises to negotiate privately?”
The GM nodded with a smile.
┅┅
I thought about the general manager’s words just now along the way, and I couldn’t help but feel bitter in my heart, that old thieving woman even wanted me to go to the enemy’s home camp alone! It seems like this time I have half a life left if not dead.
But at least she still has a little humanity, even gave me three days of vacation and 10,000 yuan of travel expenses, it seems that these three days can be a good comfort.
I walked, while calculating how to spend this sum of money is considered to be affordable, and finally decided to organize a personal tour to Taipei to find former classmates to play for three days.
The more I thought about it, the happier I got, and I almost forgot that I had a date with a nice person until the electronic watch on my hand went ‘Beep! Beep!
After thinking about it, he remembered that Pei Ling and the others were still waiting for him and hurriedly ran home.
┅┅
Evening hours.
It was only then that I ran at a fast pace to where Perrin and the girls were staying.
I had thought that Perrin and the girls might have been waiting for a long time, but then I saw that there was no one under the apartment? Had to press up the intercom.
“Who is it?” A voice came out of the caller.
“It’s me! Chen Wen!”
“Wow! Chen Wen, what took you so long to get here?” The tone on the caller sounded like it was unpleasant.
I apologized, “I’m sorry for the delay just now.”
“Alright, why don’t you wait down here for a bit, we’ll be right down.” After speaking, he turned off the intercom.
I just waited stupidly for more than half an hour, until my stomach was so hungry I couldn’t stand it anymore, so I had to press the caller up again.
“Who is it?” The voice that had just come out again, but this time I could hear that it was Xinhui’s voice.
“O Sister Xinhui, why haven’t you guys come down after so long?” I asked suspiciously.
“Ugh! Chen Wen ah, the drama is not done yet la, you wait a little longer.” After waiting for half a day, Xin Hui turned out to be watching TV!
I impatiently said, “Sister Xinhui, then I think we should call it a day, I won’t disturb you.”
As soon as the words were out of my mouth, I turned and walked away, in ignoring the voice inside the intercom.
However, at that moment, the door of the apartment opened immediately, and a voice called out to me, saying, “Man, don’t be angry.”
I turned back to see that it was Mei and asked to Mei, “What are you guys up to?”
Xiaomei came over to my side, her eyes glanced at Xinhui’s and said: “It’s not all because of Xinhui, she said to make you wait for a while ah.”
“Wait a while? I’ve been waiting for over half an hour.” I was furious.
“Chen Wen, you were the one who was late first, that’s why I intentionally made you wait for so long.” Xinhui said with an air of justification.
“I’m sorry for what I just said, and I didn’t do it on purpose because…” My words stopped immediately as I thought of the GM’s request for me not to spill the beans.
“Because? Because how?” Perrin asked, also puzzled.
“No, it’s because something came up at school and I had to go there to make it so late.” I blabbered.
“Well! Chen Wen, it’s only been more than half an hour, haven’t you ever waited for your girlfriend?” Xin Hui deadpanned.
“Yes, but I haven’t waited for a girl who isn’t my girlfriend… Sister Xinhui, ah, you’re the ones who want to treat me today, it’s not like I asked you out, don’t you think it’s too much?” I said what was on my mind.
“Hmph! Chen Wen, just letting you wait for a while and then wow, what a lack of manners.” Xin Hui put her hands on her chest and beamed.
I thought to myself: “I’m not chasing after her, and I’m rich, so why suffer this kind of anger?” I nodded my head and said: “Yes, I have no manners, I’m not suitable to go out with you ladies, it doesn’t matter, I’ll leave right away.”
After I said those words, I immediately left, in ignoring the calls of Xiao Mei and Pei Ling.
┅┅
It was a long walk home, and then I realized I hadn’t eaten dinner yet, so I went to the snack bar where Ming Zhang worked.
As soon as he entered the store, he found Xiao Mai standing by the counter.
I went in and looked around to see if Ming Zhang had come, but Xiaomai smiled and said, “Chen Wenxue, there’s no need to look, Ming Zhang he didn’t come today.”
“Wow.” I just nodded in response.
Xiao Miao asked again: “Then, do you want to eat today?”
“Why don’t you eat?” I asked suspiciously.
“But there’s no one to pay for Senior today, we don’t let people get credit on our side.” Xiaomai actually thought I didn’t have any money with me again.
“Didn’t you say you’d buy me a meal last time? Just let you pay today.” In fact, this remark was just a joke, after all, he didn’t have much to say for himself.
“Yeah.” Little Mai surprisingly nodded her head in agreement.
I said in surprise, “No, I was just joking.”
“Senior, it doesn’t matter, what do you want to eat hurry up a bit so I can listen to your story.” Xiao Miao, however, did not care.
“It’s over, are we really going to tell stories?” Despite what I thought in my mind, I verbally ordered a few dishes and went to a side table and sat down.
I saw Xiaomo bring up my order and got two more cans of soda, then took a seat next to me.
I’m not going to be polite at all. I’ll just pick up my chopsticks and eat.
Xiaomai unexpectedly did not speak, until I put down the chopsticks, then she opened the soda, took a can to me, and asked me, “Are you full?”
“Ooh, so full.” I said as I stretched.
“Can we start talking then?” Mai finally asked.
“There’s not really much to say, it’s just me chasing after her, isn’t it? What do you want to hear?” I don’t understand why Xiao Mai is so interested in my relationship with Xiao Yao.
“I heard that you two started off with an exam competition, huh?” Xiao Yao asked.
I thought back to that time and slowly said, “Yeah, at that time, Xiaoyao was the best student in the cram school, but she made a statement that whoever could beat her in the test would be able to ask her to the prom.”
“So you raced her, huh?”
“At that time I how dare to compare with her ah, just my name even by some detrimental friends to write on it, so I had to respond to the scalp on it.” I think of the monkey’s behavior at that time, at this time there is still anger in my heart.
“But that’s also why you word to obtain Xiaoyao-senpai’s heart.”
“Eh, that’s how it is, do you want to know anything else?” Finally agreed with Xiao Yao’s words.
“By the way senior do you know Jiang Shumei?” Xiao Yao asked.
“You mean the school’s ‘queen of conversation’, Jiang Shumei?”
“Right.”
“I don’t know her.” I shook my head.
“But, recently there are rumors spreading in the school that you are Jiang Shumei’s new boyfriend said.” Xiao Mai’s words startled me.
“Don’t talk nonsense, little mister, how could that be possible?” I hastily denied it.
“It’s not that I’m rambling, anyone who has been to the school for summer school more or less knows about it.” Komo said seriously.
“Really or not? How come I don’t even know?” I was feeling very puzzled at the time.
“Looking at Senior’s face could it be that you really don’t know about this?” Xiao Miao asked when she saw this innocent look on my face.
“I don’t know, but there’s no way that’s the rumor.” I shook my head.
“That’s strange, who the hell is spreading it?” Xiaomai was also puzzled.
“Never mind, never mind that, it’s late, thanks for today, I’m going to go first.” I said as I stood up.
“Goodbye senior, I hope next time you can come with Xiaoyao-senpai.” Xiao Yao said goodbye.
┅┅
The next morning, I took the earliest northbound train and headed straight for Taipei.
I was bored sitting on my seat, looking out the window, and couldn’t help but think of yesterday’s scene with Xiao Yao.
┅┅
“What? You said you’re going to Taipei?” Xiao Yao said in surprise when she heard that I was going to Taipei.
“Right.”
“Then I’m going too.” Xiao Yao said sharply.
“What are you going to do? My uncle is having a funeral, not getting married, it’s not the right occasion for you to go.”
I deliberately told a lie.
“Is it true?” Xiao Yao looked puzzled and didn’t seem to believe my words.
“Would I lie to you with a dead man? Besides, I don’t want to go either, it’s just that my parents want me to be there for sure!” I showed a helpless look.
“En, forgive you for not daring to make fun of the dead.” Xiao Yao agrees with my words.
But Yoyo knows so little about me, what lies can’t I tell.
“So when are you coming back?”
“Three days.”
“Well, you’ll have to be careful.”
┅┅
At this time I was bored, I couldn’t help but feel annoyed why I didn’t find Xiao Yao to come along in the first place, in fact there was a reason for that, after all, none of my former classmates had girlfriends, if I brought a girl up there hastily, they would think that I was irritating them.
But that being said, it’s been a year since I’ve seen him, so maybe he’s got a bunch of girlfriends, and I’d be in deep shit.
“Ugh! Whatever, let’s sleep first.” I squinted my eyes, ready to sleep all the way to Taipei.
As soon as I narrowed my eyes, I heard a voice say, “Sir, I’m sorry.”
I immediately opened my eyes again and looked at the girl standing next to me.
“What is it?” I asked.
“I’m going in.” The girl pointed at my foot, and I realized that my foot was blocking her way, and apologized, “I’m sorry.”
Immediately, she stretched back her feet, and the girl nodded her head and sat down inside.
By this time I was so sleepy that I took a closer look at the girl beside me, who was very bold, wearing a spaghetti strap sleeveless top, a pair of sunglasses and a short skirt that I couldn’t take my eyes off her for a moment.
Although I wasn’t formally looking at her, my squinting gaze was soon noticed by that girl as well, only to see her looking at me fiercely, so I had to immediately turn my head away and close my eyes, pretending not to know.
This time I closed my eyes and slept in Taipei.
┅┅
“Ladies and gentlemen, Taipei, Taipei station is here, if you want to get off the train, please do so quickly.” I woke up when I heard this announcement, and realized that the girl beside me didn’t know when she got off the bus, so I didn’t care so much, and immediately took my luggage and ran off the bus in a hurry.
After getting off the bus, I immediately headed for the ticket gate, who knew that before I reached the ticket gate, I heard a familiar voice saying, “Mr. Police Officer, that’s him.”
Then two policemen came over to me and said to me, “This gentleman, there’s something I’d like to ask you to do.”
“What’s up?” I turned my head, and it turned out to be the same girl who had just been there, with two police officers.
“This young lady said her purse just disappeared, and you happen to be sitting next to her, so we’d like to take a look at your luggage.” The policeman said politely.
I looked at that girl and smiled bitterly, saying, “You’re pretty tough.” After saying that, I gave my luggage to that police officer and let them search it.
They searched very carefully, but didn’t find the girl’s purse, so they put it back in the luggage and handed it back to me.
“So I can go, right?” I asked the cop.
When the policeman was about to reply, the girl said, “Mr. Policeman, maybe he is hiding it on his body.”
The policeman looked at me with a bitter smile, I opened my hands to show that I didn’t care, the policeman came over and searched my body, and the result was unexpectedly, even found a woman’s purse.
“Mr. Policeman, this is my purse with my ID still inside.” The girl said happily.
“How come?” I said suspiciously, “I didn’t steal her purse, did I?”
The two policemen looked at the papers inside the purse, but they had to be that lady’s, and the two policemen immediately stared at me.
“Miss, I’ve been sleeping since you just got in the car, how could I possibly steal your purse?” I said anxiously to the lady.
“Hmph! I just saw you checking me out as soon as I got in the car, so you really do have intentions.”
That girl doesn’t even speak for me.
“Sir, please come back to the station with us now.” The two cops grabbed me.
“Mr. Policeman, I can prove that this gentleman didn’t steal this young lady’s purse, just now this gentleman has been sleeping, it was this young lady who stuffed the purse into his clothes, we originally thought that the two of them were a couple.” At this time, two girls came over and asked me to defend myself.
“Miss, you are really ruthless! Just looking at you one more time, how dare you use this way to fix me ah?”
I was suddenly dumbfounded and really didn’t expect the girl to use that against herself.
“Who told you that pair of thieving eyes to keep looking at me ah, surprisingly you have a pair of thieving eyes, I’ll let your whole person become a thief ah.” That girl was still not willing to show weakness.
“Okay, I’m sorry, I won’t bother with you.” I said to the police again: “Can I go now?”
The two policemen smiled bitterly and said : “Sir, we don’t accept this kind of thing either, you guys can solve it yourselves.” After saying that, they left us.
I ignored the girl as well, and walked out of the Taipei station alone.
