Two
He smiled and ruffled my hair, saying to me, "Yes, very beautiful"
I halted my originally unsteady steps and stared blankly at him. His arrival made Lu Yihan extremely excited, as if all the guests present could not compare to this person
At that time, Chen Mobei had a piece of white moonlight in his heart, and that moonlight was named Gu Meng
I was mistaken; I thought he was someone who had once pursued or had a crush on me. However, when the words "I am Chen Mobei" slipped from his lips, everything came back to me.
The warm yellow light in the restaurant enveloped Zhou Jianian, who was full of sharpness and vigor. He appeared so different from the cheerful people around him, standing out starkly against the lively and festive atmosphere. I heard him say to Lu Yihan, "Sorry, I'm late"
Then we simultaneously saw Zhou Jianian walking in from the entrance
Therefore, I was not surprised by her later experiences; it was as if I had a premonition when I first met her. Although she had been with Chen Mobei for many years, she absolutely did not belong to him.
I suppose it is not surprising; anyone with eyes can see that Chen Mobei and I are just good buddies. Although I must admit, it is truly a waste to only consider such a wonderful guy as a friend.
It was after that that Gu Meng and I became friends. She actually has quite a girlish personality; sometimes when junior students message or call Chen Mobei, she would show her displeasure on her face, but she has never shown any hostility towards me.
He gave me a set of black little dresses, and when I wore it and looked in the mirror, I couldn't help but call Chen Mobei and say, "Senior, let me tell you, I am actually sexier than Gu Meng from your family!"
While I was on my way to the restroom, I happened to see Zhou Jianian walking out. I cannot explain why I quietly followed him. I hid behind a pillar in the hotel and saw a girl embracing him, her violently heaving back indicating that she was crying very sadly
He called my name with a cheerful smile, yet I desperately tried to find some clues in the corners of his eyes and brows, but it seemed futile. I have grown up and seen too many boys; I truly cannot clearly recall the features and faces of each of the suitors beneath my skirt.
She is a beautiful woman, I think to myself
When Zhou Jianian entered, I had already drunk a lot of champagne, and my whole face was flushed. I tugged at Lu Yihan and asked, "Am I very beautiful?"
We often mingle together, and Chen Mobei always inquires about my personal matters with great curiosity. Su Wei, I have heard that many people are pursuing you
I raised the corners of my mouth as I looked at Zhou Jianian, who was perfunctorily nodding at me. In that moment, the music and noise of the entire venue suddenly transformed into silence. Even Lu Yihan seemed like a character blurred by the lens, no longer clearly presented in my line of sight
It was too far away, and I could not hear what they were saying, but when the girl lifted her head, I saw her face, a very childlike face, with long, large wavy hair
But when I attained a mature mindset, I forgave my former arrogant self; in fact, youth itself is already a tremendous asset
How beautiful is Gu Meng? Not necessarily, to speak boastfully, she is still a little inferior to me
Chen Mobei scoffed, "Get lost! Gu Meng is an innocent girl, and you, crazy woman, are not worthy to compare yourself to her"
Lu Yihan is a scion of a wealthy family, often fond of making grand displays. As his girlfriend, I am also very willing to enjoy those spectacles. Therefore, when he told me that he wanted to host a birthday party at the finest hotel, I was simply overjoyed.
There are many people pursuing me, but at that time, I felt that none of them could compare to Lu Yihan
Lu Yihan pulled me over, vigorously patting his shoulder, with a gleam in his eyes. He said to me, "This is my best brother, Zhou Jianian"
How handsome is he? If I say that I have never seen a boy more handsome than him since then, it may carry too much subjective personal color, but I just want to say that at the moment I saw him, all my intoxication faded away
At that time, I was together with Lu Yihan, and we both felt that we were a golden couple. Walking down the street, we would always attract a lot of attention; some people would look at me, while others would look at him, but we always turned a blind eye to those gazes
Fate, so to speak, is probably just that; when we were still naive and ignorant, destiny was already a river without any dam to hold it back, rushing towards the sea as its only direction
When I reunited with my childhood playmate Chen Mobei on the university campus, I could hardly remember this person
I glared at him fiercely, and he seemed a bit embarrassed. Oh, I was young back then, so don't take it to heart. Look at how many people there are in the school, and we all meet; this is fate.
At that time, Gu Meng truly deserved the three words "white moonlight," with her dark bangs, fair complexion, and gentle charm
I am not angry; perhaps I have truly inflated my self-esteem to a certain extent, allowing me to disregard what others say.
Then he turned to Zhou Jianian and said, "My girlfriend, Su Wei"
At that time, they were truly in love, and Gu Meng was indeed very innocent
Years later, as I fastened a couple's lock on the ethereal Pavilion of Clouds amidst the mist, I recalled the playful words and jokes of the past, and suddenly understood what it meant to be destined.
But there is no way; I can only tell those girls who want to get to know Chen Mobei through me that you might as well not think about it. Chen Mobei doesn't even have his eyes on me; in his eyes, there is only Gu Meng.
But in fact, I was the one being overly sentimental; Chen Mobei's feelings towards me were purely that of "a friend met in a foreign land"
My smile gradually took on a somewhat profound meaning, and later I told him that, in fact, from the very first moment I saw him, I had made up my mind that this person, I would be determined to have.
At that time, someone said that if Su Wei's beauty is like a thorny rose, then Gu Meng's beauty is pure and innocent sensuality
The buffet that night offered a wide variety of dishes, even the desserts were presented in an array of styles. I held Lu Yihan's hand, basking in everyone's admiration. To be honest, every girl has a sense of vanity; who doesn't enjoy hearing flattering words
However, some girls are naturally charming, requiring no deliberate display; a single glance or a gesture of flipping their hair can convey this essence.
I suddenly shouted loudly at his back, "Hey, what did she say to you?"
The first time I met Gu Meng was when Chen Mobei was suffering from gastroenteritis. I went to see him, and as I pushed open the door, I saw Gu Meng feeding him congee.
Perhaps it was my ostentation at that time that triggered some thoughts in Gu Meng's heart that she had never dared to voice to Mo Beiqi. Perhaps it was when she shyly looked at me and smiled while wearing a white shirt and cloth pants, her eyes revealing an undeniable envy, that the Pandora's box within her heart, which had been tightly closed regarding her mad love and obsession with material things, suddenly burst open.
This scoundrel! When he was young, he was polite and courteous to everyone, yet he particularly enjoyed bullying me. His favorite pastime was to crush a handful of cocklebur and rub it into my hair, then watch me cry and pull at it, laughing with glee.
Later I learned that the bowl of porridge was made by Gu Meng herself. She was concerned that the porridge from outside would be both expensive and unclean, so she bought a small clay pot and borrowed a stove from the chef in the cafeteria to cook it herself
At that time, we were so proud that we were unaware of the vastness of the sky and the depth of the earth. Looking back, we realize that during that period, apart from our youth, we actually had nothing else.
After Zhou Jianian saw her off, he walked to the pillar and saw me with a sly smile on my face. He paused for a moment and then continued walking forward
Not recognizing the true face of Mount Lu, only because one is in the midst of this mountain. At that time, Chen Mobei was a young man who had just achieved success, completely unaware of the changes that lay ahead, nor of the capricious hand of fate that could turn the tides at any moment
I want to, to your big-headed ghost fate, if I want to flirt, I can just say it directly, I don't know how many times I've heard lines like this.
If it were not for Lu Yihan, I would not have met Zhou Jianian; if it were not for Zhou Jianian, I would not have left Lu Yihan
I smiled faintly and did not respond to him. I certainly could not shamelessly tell him that I had been receiving love letters and gifts from boys since middle school, as that would make me seem utterly uncultured
