Eight

I couldn't help but slam my hand on the table, pointing at Chen Mobei's forehead and cursing loudly. I said, "Are you an idiot? You were so deeply in love with Gu Meng before, and not a trace of her exists in your past? How could you be foolish enough to tell everything to Lanshan! If it were me in this situation, I would have slapped you already. It's unbelievable that Lanshan can remain calm. Do you even understand that being together requires some timely concealment?"

They can only endure and restrain themselves

I nearly spat out my latte, staring incredulously at Mo Bei. Is this what you call nothing happening? You should tell her to go die!

After we both sighed simultaneously, he succinctly explained it to me

I recall that on a summer afternoon, Lanshan looked up at me and smiled. She said that she was very happy because someone was willing to help her carry that burden, yet my heart ached.

Chen Mobei opened his innocent eyes to receive my accusations, and in the end, he said to me earnestly, "Su Wei, I am not like you. You have been in many relationships, you have been pursued by many people, you know what to say and when to say it. But I am not. My past only includes Gu Meng; I have only loved Gu Meng throughout my life. She is the entirety of my emotions over the past twenty years. I know nothing of deception, concealment, or manipulation. I only know that as a boyfriend, I should give my partner at least the respect she deserves. Regarding my past, which she wants to understand, I should be honest. My past only includes Gu Meng; I have only loved Gu Meng throughout my life. She is the entirety of my emotions over the past twenty years. I know nothing of deception, concealment, or manipulation. I only know that as a boyfriend, I should give my partner at least the respect she deserves. Regarding my past, which she wants to understand, I should be honest.

Jia Nian and I cried until we could hardly breathe. That night we slept together, and he held me from behind, burying his head in my hair. I felt a large area of my neck become wet.

What is going on with Gu Meng? I asked Chen Mobei

After a long period of tranquil life, I almost suspected that the rest of my life would continue in such peace. Zhou Jianian found a job selling digital products; the pay was not much, but it was sufficient for his needs.

That night, the eel rice that Lan Shan had ordered remained untouched until the bill was settled. Chen Mo Bei, concerned that she might go home hungry, wanted to accompany her to buy some cake. However, Lan Shan smiled and said, "I will never go to that shop again in my life"

Gu Meng does not remember her, but she indeed remembers Gu Meng. Lan Shan possesses a remarkable ability to never forget the words and people she has encountered, so she clearly recalls that this is not her first time meeting Gu Meng

Jia Nian and I bought standing tickets and rushed to the countryside overnight. The overhead lights of the night train illuminated our faces in a ghostly white. We stood in the smoking area, holding each other tightly. For the first time, I understood the vulnerability of boys; they are not like girls, who can cry, throw tantrums, vent their anger, and express their emotions.

When confronted with such a question from him, I generally do not respond; instead, I would slap him across the face. I believe that wasting time on emotional appeals or reasoning with such a person is less direct and effective than resorting to violence

Indeed, it is the case that many of us enter into romantic relationships at an early age, often before we even understand what love truly is, and by then we have already grown weary of it. We engage in emotional games, lamenting with a maturity beyond our years that true love is hard to come by, while failing to genuinely reflect on our own attitudes towards love.

I lay by her bedside, crying uncontrollably. She turned to comfort me, saying, "Child, if Grandma is gone, you must take good care of Jianian. In the areas where he is lacking in understanding, you need to be more forgiving.

However, the time bombs buried in life do not take us into account; they only know that when the fuse burns out, a loud bang will follow. They do not consider the earth-shattering changes that will occur in our lives after this explosion

During the weekend, when Lánshān couldn't find me, she pleaded with Mòběi to accompany her to buy a cake. It is truly strange that those who love the same person can also love the cakes produced by the same bakery.

During dinner, Lan Shan remained silent, and Mo Bei, feeling guilty, naturally understood why she was acting unusually

On the other side, Chen Mobei successfully entered the company he had served during his school years. They did not go back on their word, and the treatment he received far exceeded that of a fresh graduate

After Grandma's health fully recovered, both Jia Nian and I lost some weight

Chen Mobei is different from me; he has sincerely loved someone and then was hurt. He devoted all of his complete feelings to Gu Meng, and I think he probably does not have any love left to give to Lanshan.

Chen Mobei looked at me sternly and said something that made me want to slap him to death

First, Grandma Zhou suddenly fell ill

Thus, this fool did something foolish; he revealed everything about his past with Gu Meng

Occasionally, the four of us gather together to watch movies, sing, hike, and play cards, with the loser having a white sticker placed on their face.

He has told me more than once that the kind of life you had with Lu Yihan in the past is something I cannot provide for you at present. Have you thought it through? Do you still want to be with me?

On the night before we were to return, Mo Bei called me and said straightforwardly, "Su Wei, Gu Meng came to see me."

A fulfilling life cannot be surpassed by anything else

I cannot tell her to die, the one I love, the one I will love for a lifetime

He paused for a moment and said, it’s nothing much, she just called to ask me if it would still be possible for her to come back if she regrets it now

I can only embrace him with all my strength, which may provide more comfort than pale words

The elderly person's illness is not severe, but no matter how we persuade her, she refuses to leave the countryside. She has her reasons; fallen leaves return to their roots.

I waited for him at the outdoor café near the Mo Bei Company, looking haggard, and he approached me with a similarly haggard expression.

Lan Shan and I will stroll hand in hand on the weekend. As I sip my milk tea while basking in the sun, I will experience a genuine sense of satisfaction

Then she said to Jianian, although you and your mother have not told me what exactly happened over the years, I still have a general idea in my heart. I am old, but I am not foolish. Promise your grandmother that you must not follow in your father's footsteps.

I felt his body tremble slightly, and I heard myself softly calling his name over and over, yet I could not utter a single word of comfort

Upon their first encounter, Lan Shan immediately sensed something unusual between Gu Meng and Mo Bei. It was certainly not a meeting between ordinary friends, as evidenced by Gu Meng's expression of extreme shock and Mo Bei's look of utter astonishment, both of which Lan Shan keenly observed.

I stared blankly at this fool, and I admit that for a moment, I found his words quite reasonable
