two

Completely none

"Forget it, you don't even know how much you've had to drink. I don't want to put my life in your hands; I'll take a taxi myself," I said to Li Zhuo, pulling out a light cherry-colored short skirt from the wardrobe.

Therefore, advertisements are the most detestable, constantly showcasing a life that is extraordinarily beautiful, perfect in every way, and without any flaws. However, in reality, it is nothing but a deception

What does it have to do with me? I do not hide the indifference in my tone

Either an eagle or a money cabinet

I will arrive at your doorstep in twenty minutes to pick you up. He ignored my curse

You should go accompany her. After all, tomorrow is Sunday, and I will arrange to meet you again then. Moreover, my father was complaining yesterday that I haven't accompanied him for a meal in a long time, and my mother also mentioned that it has been a while since we talked about her feelings. I will just have a warm and wonderful family day today. I hailed a taxi that passed by me, saying, "In any case, I have no interest in Han Jiayi's matters."

After I sent the text message "I am in room 1602, I will die to show you," he still abandoned me, only sending his junior, Xie Xintao, an intern with a bad attitude, to deal with me. He even lied, claiming that he was just my cousin

Who was it that said, "Xiao Ai, I want nothing but to be with you"? Who was it that said, "Xiao Ai, once you reach the legal age, we will get married"? Who was it that said, "Xiao Ai, I don't love her at all; it's just that breaking up is too troublesome, with too many entanglements"

The sound of "beep-beep" continued to ring out in solitude, as if there were echoes in the vibrations, until a mechanical female voice was heard, indicating that the call had been redirected to the voicemail service

Therefore, although Xu Weisheng may appear sharp-tongued and ruthless, often using sarcasm as a form of humor, she is, in fact, a sensitive Cancer woman who considers the feelings of others deeply, simultaneously worrying about Han Jiayi's emotions while also being concerned about my unhappiness

Wherever she wants to go, you should accompany her; I will just go home instead

It is precisely those people from Li Zhuo, and I believe they are a fully formed gang.

Han Jiayi is jealous of my better relationships at school than hers. I, Cheng Tianai, have always believed in fairness and justice, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Since Han Jiayi dislikes me, why should I like her? To be honest, I even dislike her name.

"Well, good. By the way, have you and Lin Yizhe made any progress?" I asked curiously.

I recalled that when I called Zhou Wei in the morning, he said, "Cheng Tianai, have you had enough?"

However, he has been with his girlfriend for five years, while I have only been with him for half a year. Should I let go?

What kind of person is neither here nor there

Jia Yi asked me to accompany her, so I invited her to my house for dinner, and then we can go sing together? Xiao Wei spoke in a completely consultative tone

The phone connected, and I said "Hello" into the microphone five times. Only then did Li Zhuo's voice, completely in a state of sleep, come through the receiver to my eardrum: "Cheng Tian, you must be mistaken about loving me... Didn't we agree not to call me until it gets dark!"

Sure, you can come to my house for dinner first

I completely ignored his complaints and asked, "Where will you be tonight?"

Jia Yi said she is feeling down

After some thought, I took out my phone. I was still not quite accustomed to the new phone that Zhou Wei A had brought me a couple of days ago, and it took me a bit of effort to find Li Zhuo's entry in the contacts. As I pressed the call button, I thought about the photo of Zhou Wei and me that I was using as my phone's wallpaper, which I would change after the call.

At the coffee shop near your home, the one with internet access, I said, "It's so boring, shall we go sing tonight?"

It is truly lamentable. This world, the life I refer to.

Engaged in meaningless banter about Death Metal, the computer displayed the time as only 4 PM, and the feeling of boredom increasingly enveloped me. Xie Xintao had left, and Zhou Wei had not come; such a blank Saturday was truly terrifying. I pressed the call button for Xiao Wei.

As I stepped into the house, the air was noticeably cooler than the temperature outside, yet it lacked the so-called "familiar sense of comfort". Lazily, I kicked open the door to my room, pulled out my pajamas from the wardrobe, and wandered into the bathroom

In fact, some dislikes are without reason. Simply finding something displeasing or not to one's taste can lead to extreme aversion

After settling the bill, I walked through the large department stores that line the city center, heading towards Xiao Wei's home

"Are you even a man, holding a grudge just because you were woken up?" I shouted irritably

Later, who said, Cheng Tianai, do you understand the rules of the game? Who said, Cheng Tianai, you are only 16 years old, I cannot wait for you to grow up? And who said, Cheng Tianai, do not be unreasonable, have you had enough?

What a ghostly presence in the home

Is Han Jiayi very familiar with them? I was surprised. Although Li Zhuo is just a small-time thug on the fringes, he can at least be considered a second-generation rich kid. His father is in real estate. With Han Jiayi's looks, not to mention being thrown on the street, even if she were tossed into our class, she would be unnoticeable. If she went to a bar and forgot her wallet, no one would accept her as payment for debts. A month's allowance wouldn't even be enough for a bottle of Chivas Regal 12 Year. What is Li Zhuo doing hanging out with her?

"Isn't your man just me? What else is there to consider in terms of fate?" There were unknown people around him, and the rustling sounds mixed with his words. "Are you coming or not?"

"Is it the money box or Eagle?" I glanced at the clock on the wall and realized it was already past nine in the evening

Indeed, he is already married, and the wedding held in the sky garden of the restaurant where I attempted to cut my wrists has become a reality

If I can't get a person, then I'll settle for money. The more I use, the less his wife will use; it's another form of fairness. In any case, my feelings for Zhou Wei have already been mostly discarded.

I picked up the envelope, opened it, and instantly felt a surge of fear.

"Hey, are you asleep?" The voice was transmitted through the waves and then restored, with a tone of pride in Li Zhuo's voice. "Do you understand what retribution means now?"

Xiaowei's home is a two-bedroom apartment in an old building that is approximately twenty years old. The small living room is so cramped that even a 42-inch television seems out of place, but I love everything about her home and her room. In her room, there are the small pink floral curtains made by her mother, matching bed sheets, duvet covers, and small cushions. On the windowsill, there are the little potted plants that her father carefully tends to, and at midnight, her mother comes into the room to tuck us in.

Therefore, believing in anything holds no significance whatsoever

"Let's talk when we meet again." Xiaowei's words were clearly filled with shyness

"Xiao Ai, please do not say that about her. It seems she really likes Li Zhuo, and now she is almost always with them. As soon as Li Zhuo calls, she rushes over immediately, which is why I am worried."

Outside the window lies the unchanging streets of this city. Even in broad daylight, the neon lights, shifting in color, flaunt their splendor. People hurry to and fro, bustling for their own lives or for the so-called "ideals," their faces obscured by the distance, pale and frail in the sunlight. The summer sun is too intense, with not a single cloud in the sky. From that vantage point, the people, as small as ants, their pain is perhaps invisible even to God.

Oh my God, although I have long known that life is full of thorns, I did not expect that life is only thorns

Han Jiayi and I are both the best friends of Xiao Wei, but Han Jiayi and I are not good friends, and in fact, we are not even considered friends at all

After taking a shower, I collapsed onto the bed and sank into sleep

I threw my phone back into my bag, raised my head, and saw the taxi driving into my residential community. After paying, I took the elevator to the 19th floor. As expected, the door opened to an empty space; my dad and mom were not at home as usual.

"It seems you anticipated that I would fall asleep long ago." I tugged at my hair, still unable to sort it out, which was infuriating. "With such insight, you should set up a stall on the pedestrian street to tell fortunes. I can sponsor the flag you hold; just calculate my romantic prospects and financial luck as a trade-off."

She certainly knows that I am not on good terms with Han Jiayi, so she is always in a dilemma, trying to mediate the conflict between Han Jiayi and me

I clearly told Zhou Wei that I wanted 1000, so why is it only 600? Take that 600 out of the envelope and put it into my wallet. I took out my phone to call Zhou Wei

I feel an unusual emptiness within me, as if the wind has passed through an unfathomable abyss. Each day and every moment is filled with loneliness

Wilde once said that the happiness of a married person comes from those he did not marry. Now, in Zhou Wei's eyes, this happiness has likely turned into a torment. I look at the shape of the two wounds on my wrist and recall the sense of reassurance I felt upon discharge, a feeling of invincibility as if I could tread through this world with arrogance for a lifetime. Since I have died and come back to life, it is now Zhou Wei's turn to experience a fate worse than death

In the ringtone, only a short line of Show Lo's song was sung before the call was connected, and Xiao Wei's voice was transmitted through the waves to my eardrum: "Xiao Ai, where are you?"

It is akin to placing those details, imbued with the curvature of smiles and the warmth of emotions, into a box labeled "past tense" and throwing it into a storage room for expired items

Thus, without even looking to see who was calling, I pressed the answer button and said in a very unfriendly tone: "Who is it!"

It is simply the case that Han Jiayi has an interest in Li Zhuo, or that Li Zhuo is attracted to Han Jiayi, which has nothing to do with me at all

Speaking of this, one must vehemently condemn the irresponsibility and randomness of the heavens, which is so atrocious that it makes one grit their teeth, and so cruel that it incites outrage. It truly makes one wish to offer the heavens concentrated sulfuric acid directly—here, quench your thirst, drink more.

Because Jiayi has recently been associating with some questionable individuals, I am quite worried and would like to have a serious conversation with her. Please do not be upset

It is only 9 o'clock and you are already so drunk that you can hardly speak, sooner or later you will drink yourself to death

I am all about fairness; if you give me a lot of love, I will give you a lot of love in return. If you play with me, I will play with you; if you keep me awake, I will keep you awake as well. How reasonable is that?" He has always maintained that irreverent yet somewhat intimidating tone as he spoke

"What else do you want me to bring up?" I answered the phone, nonchalantly.

Am I enough

When I saw the building where Xiao Wei lives, the phone in my hand rang with a melody indicating an incoming call. It was Xiao Wei.

I said "good" and hung up the phone

"Eagle, oh eagle!" That fellow has probably had quite a bit to drink, shouting at the top of his lungs.

The exterior display windows of the department store are being updated with seasonal promotional posters. Each promotional poster, varying in temperament due to differing appeals to consumers, invariably accentuates the beauty of the products and evokes enticing anticipation

The location has been confirmed, call me. End of call

When I was awakened by the sound of my phone ringing, I realized that I had fallen asleep with my hair still wet, and my hair was a tangled mess. Anyway, Xiaowei hasn't done her hair in two months either, so I think I'll go with her tomorrow to get it straightened and maybe choose a trendy color to dye it.

Do you know what it means when a roof leaks and it rains heavily at night? It is precisely that my lonely heart unexpectedly encounters Zhou Wei

It is not a good thing for me if Han Jiayi and Li Zhuo are too close, after all, she is friends with Xiao Wei
