This meal was very ordinary, even more ordinary than what I had at Sister Zhao’s house. It was just a few home-cooked dishes and no wine. Apart from Mayor Wang, there were only four of us, Aunt Zhang and Sister Qiu. To be honest, I didn’t think much of it at all.

I really can't let go of eating.

Mayor Wang expressed his gratitude to me very politely. Mayor Wang could not tell how grateful he was to me. His tone and expression were light, reserved, and even a bit official. To be honest, I was

I was a little disappointed. I originally thought that Mayor Wang would look at me differently. I thought that he should promise me some benefits no matter what, but unfortunately Mayor Wang didn't mention a word. He only sat for less than ten minutes before leaving.

, I ate a few bites in a hurry and lost interest.

I came excitedly and left in despair. Sister Qiu sent me to the door of Yuwang Mansion, then held my hand and talked for a while before turning around and going back.

I lowered my head and walked out of the alley. I wanted to find something to eat. I had eaten too little just now and I was still hungry.

After walking a few steps, someone suddenly called out in a low voice: "I'm sorry, hello."

I turned around and saw a person waving to me. I didn't recognize this person.

"You don't recognize me? We've met before." The man smiled at me very familiarly.

"I'm sorry, I don't think I know you." I said firmly.

"My name is Li Zhi. We met in the Municipal Party Committee Courtyard. You were with Sister Qiu that day." The man said separately, and then added: "It's not far from Mayor Wang's house."

"Oh..." I remembered that when Sister Qiu took me home that day, I seemed to have met this person in front of the building, but after a few days, I almost forgot about it.

"This is my business card." Li Zhi handed me a business card with both hands.

I rarely receive business cards. I pick them up and read them immediately after receiving them.

"Huanya Co., Ltd., Chairman, Li Zhi." This name was written in the most conspicuous position of the business card. There were several rows of small characters below, all of which were titles. I didn't look at it carefully. I glanced at it briefly, and then

Put away the business card.

"I haven't asked for advice yet, are you..." Li Zhi asked politely.

"You're welcome, just call me Chen Pi." I replied.

"Chen Pi! This name is good and easy to remember, haha." Li Zhi chuckled: "Where are you going?"

"I'm going home." I said.

"Let me see you off. Where is your home?" Li Zhi said with a smile.

"Don't bother me. I'll walk by myself. It's very close." I refused Li Zhi's kindness.

I walked out of the alley and looked back. That Li Zhi was no longer there. I was sure that he had entered the Yuwang Mansion. The place where I was talking to him just now was at the entrance of the Yuwang Mansion.

I walked casually along the street. I had no destination and I didn't want to go back so early. Anyway, I had nothing to do now.

I walked two streets and bought a bowl of cold noodles from a roadside stall. I walked with the cold noodles and ate them. There were more and more people on the street. Unknowingly, I turned to the main street.

There were men and women on the street. The city was very prosperous at night. There were many shopping malls and shops on the street. The lights illuminated the street very clearly. I stopped and picked up the last bite of cold noodles on my chopsticks. I put the cold noodles into my mouth.

Then I turned around and looked, and there happened to be a trash can not far away, so I walked towards the trash can.

I threw the paper bowl into the bucket, then dug around in my pocket for a long time and found a small piece of crumpled toilet paper. I picked up the paper and wiped my mouth, then patted my chest where I was choking.

In front of me is a large shopping mall. The lights in the glass door are gorgeous. There are many people in the shopping mall. Satisfied smiles hang on many people's faces. Many people come out carrying large and small shopping bags. You can tell at a glance.

It’s a return with a full load.

I flicked the paper I wiped my mouth into the trash can and was about to leave. At this time, I saw two adults, a man and a woman, walking out of the mall with a little girl.

The two adults held the little girl's hands. Both of them were carrying several shopping bags. Even the little girl was holding a small shopping bag. The little girl was very happy and kept jumping. The two adults were also happy.

He was talking with a smile on his face.

My heart sank along with my face. I was a little at a loss. I couldn't help but hide behind the tree next to the trash can. I didn't know why I wanted to hide. It was just a subconscious action. I leaned on it feebly.

Behind the tree, I looked straight at the two people, or to be precise, at the woman among them. Because this woman is Li Qianru, a woman I like, but now she is chatting and laughing with other men. I have also met this man.

Yes, it was the mysterious man I had suspected at the beginning.

I once questioned Li Qianru about this man, but Li Qianru didn't tell me who he was. I chose to believe Li Qianru. I didn't let myself doubt Li Qianru, but when I saw this man again, my confidence was shaken.

I am really powerless. I know that Li Qianru is like the moon in the mirror to me. I have always known that, I know the gap between us, but I am like a traveler in the desert, always looking forward to what lies ahead.

Oasis, I always hope that a miracle will happen. I am very happy with Li Qianru, just like a glass of poisonous wine that I am willing to drink even though I know I will die.

I even hurt Qinqin for Li Qianru, but now I suddenly feel stupid and funny. What did I see? Li Qianru lied to me. She has a side that I don’t know. She has her own life, and I am not hers.

all.

The two people slowly walked away with their children, and I suddenly followed them. I didn’t know what I wanted to do, so I just followed them. I stared at their backs. People were coming and going on the street.

They didn't look back and didn't know anyone was following them.

Just from the back, they look very good together. Needless to say, Li Qianru. This man has a tall back. He is wearing a very elegant coat and walks very steadily. The little girl is also very elegantly dressed. She looks happy no matter how she looks.

family. And what about me? Who am I? Suddenly I felt so cold, and then I

My whole body became cold. The more I followed, the more powerless I became, and my feet felt fluttery. I saw the man tilting his head and talking to Li Qianru. Li Qianru nodded slightly, and several half-year-old boys ran towards them, joking and running towards them.

Naturally, he reached out and put his arm around Li Qianru's waist, allowing her to avoid a boy's possible collision.

I really can't keep up. I think I will go crazy if I keep following up. I feel that my destiny is taking a turn for the worse. I have already lost Qinqin. Now am I going to lose Li Qianru again?

I was distracted, my eyes were straight, and I bumped head-on into something.

"Why are you walking! You don't have eyes!" someone yelled at me.

I ignored them and kept looking at Li Qianru and the others.

"Damn it! You hit me and you didn't even say a word." A man grabbed my collar.

I lifted the man's hand but didn't break free.

The man's hands tightened: "Apologise to me and pay for it!"

I punched the man directly in the face.

I was surrounded by several men. I was knocked to the ground. There was chaos around me. Some people were shouting, some were screaming, and the crowd was running around...

The fist hit me. Strangely enough, I didn't feel any pain. Instead, I felt very happy. Every punch made me breathe a sigh of relief. Every kick made the pain in my heart lessen. I laughed: "Come on."

Go ahead! Hit me!"

"This man is sick!" A man kicked me and said to his companion.

"Forget it, forget it, you're a lunatic, let's go." Another man said.

"There are so many psychopaths nowadays, it's bad luck for me."

The men left, and I lay on the cold floor, breathing heavily. The sky above me was dark, and the neon lights of the city covered the starry sky, making me breathless. My eyes kept changing.

All kinds of faces...

"Young man, are you okay?"

"Hey, this guy must be a fool!"

"Get up quickly, the ground is cold..."

"Child, do you want to call the police?"

Various sounds entered my ears, and then I saw a beautiful, familiar face appearing in front of me.

"Chen Pi, how could it be you!"

…

I entered Li Qianru's home again. I came in the man's car. The man wanted to send me in, but Li Qianru didn't agree. The man left with caution. I looked at the man's eyes and felt very sad.

It's funny, he must also be doubting me and questioning my identity. Li Qianru told him that I was her cousin.

I didn't speak the whole time. I was dirty. I was beaten on the ground and couldn't get any better. One of my nostrils was still stuffed with toilet paper.

"What's wrong with you?" Li Qianru asked me as soon as she entered the door: "Why are you fighting with others again?"

"Who is that man?" I said the first sentence after meeting.

Silence! Li Qianru looked at me silently without saying a word.

"You told me last time that I was wrong, but what about this time? How else do you want to explain it!" I said angrily.

"Do I need to explain?" Li Qianru said calmly.

"Boom!" There was a sound, and my brain suddenly exploded. My feet went soft, and my body slowly slid down. I squatted on the ground. I felt that my throat was blocked, and something wanted to jump out!

Li Qianru turned around and stopped looking at me.

"Chen Pi, I'm sorry..." Li Qianru's voice sounded erratic in my ears, as if she was talking to me from a very, very far away place.

"...You should treat Li Qinqin well, that girl is very nice and suitable for you..." Li Qianru continued.

"That's enough!" I laughed, my smile was very sad.

"No need to say it, I understand..." I looked up at Li Qianru. Li Qianru never faced me, only turned her back to me. Li Qianru's shoulders were hunched, and I couldn't see her current expression.

I really wanted to beg her, beg her not to leave me, but a wave of bad breath rushed up in my chest, and I couldn't help but want to vent it!

I took a deep breath, but it had no effect at all, so I slapped myself hard!

Li Qianru's shoulders suddenly shook when she heard the voice, but she still did not turn around.

"I wish you happiness!" I said finally, then I turned around, opened the door, and walked out without looking back.
Chapter completed!
