C6 They Were Getting Married

Back at her place, Mi Cai's bowl of porridge was almost finished. My bowl of porridge was still steaming. I took out two salted duck eggs from the bag Mr. Justice left behind. I handed one to Mi Cai and said, "Try it."

"I'm almost done eating." This was the first time Mi Cai used a normal tone to speak to me in these two days that they had known each other.

I smiled and said, "Let's eat another bowl. It's not like plain porridge can make you fat."

Mi Cai ignored my suggestion and said, "Your father has already left. You can also move away."

I looked at the storm outside the window and discussed with Mi Cai, "I'm not moving out today. Can I stay for another night?"

"No." Mi Cai said firmly.

I slammed my chopsticks on the table and said angrily, "What's wrong with you? Do you know how to be soft-spoken? Spit out the porridge that you just ate and I will move it immediately."

Mi Cai looked at me with her beautiful eyes and was rendered speechless by my sudden change of attitude.

I softened my tone and said to her, "Big sister, I have been up and down for the whole day and now I am feeling weak all over. Can you please let me go?"

"Scum, who's your big sister?!"

"Miss... Miss, can you do it?" I quickly said, then promised confidently, "Tomorrow, I'll get off work tomorrow. I'll definitely move!"

After a while, Mi Cai finally relented and said to me, "Remember what you said yourself."

"Of course, I'm moving tomorrow!"

Mi Cai looked at me discontentedly. She picked up a bowl and walked towards the rice cooker with the rice porridge. Then, she filled a small bowl for herself.

"Didn't you say you are not going to eat it?"

Mi Cai glared at me and said, "Anyway, my mouth has already softened. I don't need to eat another bowl."

I shook my head and sighed. "Sigh! Humans are like this!"

Even though I teased her, I peeled off the shell of the salted duck egg and passed it to Mi Cai. She didn't reject it, so the two of them continued to eat in a strange atmosphere.

...

After dinner, I handed the 3000 yuan that Mr. Justice left to Mi Cai. "I will return you 3000 yuan first. I will return the rest to you after I get my salary next week."

"After giving it to me, do you still have money to rent a house?... We will return it together in the future."

"This is what you are thinking for me. It is not that I do not want to return the money to you." As I spoke, I stuffed the money into my wallet.

"As long as you move away quickly, everything else doesn't matter." As Mi Cai spoke, she drank another mouthful of porridge. She seemed to like the porridge very much. Indeed, Mr. Justice's cooking skills were top-notch. He was able to cook the most ordinary porridge, but he was able to make it taste like home.

"I am not the God of Plagues. You don't have to despise me so much, right?" I sighed.

"With your character, could it be that you want me to like you?"

I smiled and didn't continue. Perhaps my character is really bad, or maybe she misunderstood me, but that's not important. I don't need to clarify or explain, because after work tomorrow, we will draw a clear line.

I drank the porridge in my bowl in one gulp, then stared at Mi Cai. At this moment, she was wearing a white long sleeve chiffon shirt, black and white pencil type casual pants, and a slightly curly middle hair. It made her look very elegant and thin.

I took out the knitted sweater that Mr. Justice left behind and gestured in front of Mi Cai. After a while, I sighed, "The sky is getting cold. Do you feel that this sweater suits you very well?"

Mi Cai frowned, "Why? Do you still want me to take your short hands?"

"Really, it suits you very well... If you are willing to let me continue renting this house, I don't mind giving it to you. My father said that this sweater was personally knitted by my mother. It is thick, and it is warm even in winter when it is blocked by the wind! Really? It suits you very well... If you are willing to let me continue renting this house, I don't mind giving it to you. My father said that this sweater was personally knitted by my mother. It is thick, and it is even warm when it is blocked by the wind!"

"No good fortune to enjoy."

I smiled and passed the sweater to her. "I was just joking with you. Even if you don't want to rent it, I'll give it to you. I don't have any plans to have a girlfriend for the time being. It would be a waste to keep such a good sweater by my side. Even if I apologize for my unreasonable actions yesterday. "

My expression was extremely sincere. Mi Cai hesitated for a moment and actually accepted the sweater that I passed to her. She said to me," Alright, I accept your apology... Also, treat your father better. Don't lie to him anymore. Let him worry about it. "

"Is there a logical connection between accepting an apology and being nicer to my dad?" I asked in surprise.

Mi Cai angrily replied to my question, "You are really a scum!" With that, she stuffed the sweater into her handbag and pushed open the door to leave.

I was the only one left in the room. I didn't understand Mi Cai's sudden anger. After sitting and thinking for a long time, I finally understood that perhaps she will accept my apology for the time being. She even made an exception for me to stay for another night out of sympathy for Mr. Justice. She had no feelings or annoyance towards me. In her eyes, I played with a woman's belly and deceived my own father. And I didn't keep my promise to her rudely. If I'm not a scumbag, then what am I?

This night, Mi Cai didn't stay in this house. I thought, She must have other houses in this city, but why must she stay here?

I racked my brains but couldn't figure it out, so I decided not to think about it anymore. There are always some strange people and strange things in this world. Moreover, this is not too strange when compared to the wonders of the universe. Therefore, there was no need to dig into the bottom of it. Just consider it an art of the wealthy.

In fact, many times, I liked to live in confusion because the truth could mean pain. If I got it, I might lose it. So, if I didn't know the truth, there would be no pain. If I couldn't get it, I wouldn't have lost it.

...

The next day, I arrived at the company. After the planning department's weekly meeting, Faang Yuan and I walked out of the meeting room side by side, followed by another colleague, Zhao Feng.

I lit a cigarette and put it in my mouth. I waved at him. "Come over here, Zhao Feng."

Zhao Feng looked at me vigilantly. "What?"

"I heard you like outdoor sports?"

"Yeah, I do like it!"

I smiled and said, "I have a set of professional outdoor exercise equipment. I didn't use it much even after buying it, so I sold it to you at a cheap price."

"You don't like outdoor sports, so why would you buy outdoor equipment?" Zhao Feng asked in confusion.

"It's because I don't like it that I've never used it before. It's the same as the new one. It's really awesome! It's the Ancestral Bird. It's a bargain for you, kid. I'll sell it to you for two thousand yuan per set." I hooked my arm around Zhao Feng's shoulder and said.

"Really?" Zhao Feng asked in delight.

I impatiently said, "It has to be true. Hurry up and give me the money. Later, I'll ask Faang Yuan to bring it to you tomorrow. I'll buy it and keep it at his house."

Zhao Feng counted 2000 yuan from his wallet and passed it to me. He reminded me, "Remember to bring it to me tomorrow. It just so happens to be used for climbing next week."

I stuffed the money into my pocket and said, "You can tell Faang Yuan yourself."

Zhao Feng turned to Faang Yuan, who had been distracted not far away, and said, "Faang Yuan, remember to bring me the outdoor equipment Zhao Yang left at your house tomorrow."

Faang Yuan came back to his senses and asked in confusion, "What outdoor equipment?"

"It's Zhao Yang's ancestral bird. He sold it to me." Zhao Feng patiently explained.

I took a deep breath and immediately walked towards the washroom. Behind me, Faang Yuan cursed, "Motherf * cker, what are you selling? That's mine!"

He heard Faang Yuan helplessly say to Zhao Feng, "Alright, don't feel wronged. I'll bring it to you tomorrow."

...

After smoking in the washroom, I returned to the office. There was a cup of coffee on Faang Yuan's table. He wore a pair of anti-radiation glasses and typed on the keyboard with his fingers.

I turned on the computer and played with the lighter in my hand while the computer was still working. Then, I talked to Faang Yuan. "Are you still busy with the proposal to set up a special cabinet in our shopping mall?"

Faang Yuan did not bother to argue with me about what just happened. He sighed and said, "Yes, I've been busy for almost a week. The recruitment department has been waiting for our proposal and the representative of the GUCC to negotiate."

I answered and didn't ask any more questions. Faang Yuan and I are two extremes. He is a man who puts his life on the line in his work, and I have always been able to survive. The result of these two completely different attitudes is that, after working for two years, Faang Yuan has already become the leader of the planning department's proposal team. As for me, I am still at the bottom of the hierarchy.

Faang Yuan suddenly stopped typing on the keyboard and stared at me with a heavy heart for a long time.

"What's wrong?" I asked. I was puzzled by Faang Yuan's strange actions.

Faang Yuan finally said, "Two days ago, I saw that you were in a bad mood. There was something I didn't tell you... Yem Yan and I are getting married next week."

"We're finally getting married!" I subconsciously sighed, and my heart began to twitch in pain.

Back then, Faang Yuan was able to get to know Yem Yan because of Jian Wei and me. Yem Yan was Jian Wei's best friend. Faang Yuan and I were porcelain. After Jian Wei and I fell in love, it gave Faang Yuan and Yem Yan a chance to get to know each other. After that, they fell in love.

In the few years of university, the four of us often worked together and built a deeper friendship. We joked a few times about getting married together after graduation.

It was a great joy for Faang Yuan and Yem Yan to get married, but it also exposed my pain and loneliness. In the end, I was unable to continue my love with Jian Wei.

Sometimes, people's pain actually came from comparison. But at this moment, other than pain, envy in loneliness, and blessing Faang Yuan and Yem Yan, what else could I do?

The past would eventually turn into dust, but the wind would not blow away. When it fell on my heart, my world would be covered in dust.

I smiled at Faang Yuan and said, "Where's this bro's invitation? Quickly bring it over."

Faang Yuan nodded and took out the wedding invitation from the drawer and passed it to me. I opened it. In the photo of the wedding invitation, Faang Yuan and Yem Yan were smiling happily.

...

After a long silence, I asked Faang Yuan, "Will Jian Wei come back after you get married?"

"You know, ever since she moved from Los Angeles to New York, I couldn't contact her. However, Yem Yan sent her an email a few days ago. She hasn't replied and won't be able to come back. No one can say for sure."

"Oh, is that so?" I replied calmly and stopped talking to Faang Yuan. My fingers pressed on the computer keyboard, but my eyes were staring at the screen in a daze.
