007(1/2)
With a "ding" sound, Han Lie's mobile phone screen lit up.
Han Lie looked at Chu Xia, stroked his thumb and the chat box jumped out.
Oolong Milk Tea: First, I have never loved you...
Seeing these words, Han Lie's chest was as if he was hit by a meteorite, so he stopped breathing for a few seconds.
Memories suddenly returned to eight years ago.
It was also similar to today's summer. Han Lie worked in a milk tea shop as usual. He was the receptionist at the counter and sent off a guest and another new one. He was so busy that he had no time to watch around.
Another young man suddenly poked him from the side and asked him to look across the road outside.
Han Lie took the time to look up and cross the road, he saw his girl standing with an exquisite middle-aged lady. The middle-aged lady was talking to the milk tea shop. The girl lowered her head as he looked over and gently stroked the edge of her skirt with her hands, like a good student who admitted his mistake in front of the head teacher.
Han Lie saw the shadow of Chu Xia on the middle-aged lady's face.
Is it her mother?
Han Lie had a bad premonition in his heart.
That night, he received a breakup text from the girl, saying that she would concentrate on her studies, she said she would not contact her in the future, and wished him a better girlfriend.
Han Lie guessed what Liao Hong and 18-year-old Chu Xia said.
"Look at him, he doesn't even have a high school diploma. When he is in his twenties, he can rely on his face as a waiter. When he is in his thirties and forty years, the milk tea shop even thinks he is old. What can he do even if he wants to change careers?
Be a decorator, deliver food, and go to the factory to do physical work?
Even if you don’t mind that he has a low salary and is not decent enough for his work, would you be embarrassed to take him to meet his family and friends? Do you have the courage to let your friends know that your boyfriend is like this?"
"What's the use of being handsome? What's the common language you have together?
You talk to him about economy, politics and art, and he talks with you all the time. When you have children in the future, what can he teach children depends on you alone?
When you start to complain about him, he will bother you to nag. When the passion caused by hormones fades, what is left between you and him?"
"In early summer, falling in love is not as simple as you think. Think carefully, mom hopes you make the right choice."
When Han Lie saw Liao Hong at first sight, he knew that Liao Hong was not the kind of woman she played in the TV series who showed her ugly marriage in order to break up her children. She was elegant and decent. She didn't even have to warn him and negotiate with him, so she successfully persuaded her good daughter.
Chu Xia really disliked him.
Han Lie doesn't blame her.
It's because he's not good enough.
But the breakup was so easy and straightforward, maybe Chu Xia really never loved him.
Han Lie put his phone in his pocket, leaned against the sofa, staring at the passing vehicles outside the window with gloomy eyes.
Chu Xia couldn't tell which reason he became like this because of his conceit.
The waiter brought two sets of meals and placed them in front of her and Han Lie respectively.
I was hungry in early summer, so I took a sip of juice first, and then forked a slice of ultra-thin pizza with a disposable plastic fork.
She was used to eating in small mouthfuls. No one across the street would look around. Han Lie was there, so Chuxia had to click on the video software and eat while watching the show.
Without using a fork, Han Lie pulled off two pieces of pizza and folded them together, biting off the triangle's tip in one bite.
In early summer, I focused on watching dramas.
After Han Lie finished his pizza, he got rid of the spicy chicken nuggets in the set meal in a few seconds. Guru Guru took a few bites of dried juice and ended the meal in advance.
I only finished a quarter of my pizza in early summer.
Han Lie threw the tissues he had wiped his hands on the tray where he was packing the pizza and left.
Early summer breathed a sigh of relief.
After she finished her pizza, she only ate three chicken nuggets and drank half a cup of juice.
Wipe off the oil stains on your lips, Chuxia took a mobile phone in one hand and carried a bag in the other, and walked out of the pizza restaurant.
It was almost eight o'clock, and the night finally enveloped the earth, but the lights were flashing everywhere, and the center of Yucheng was prosperous.
There are several stores separated from the pizza restaurant. I went in early summer and bought a bunch of plump Giant Peak grapes.
After checking the accounts, Chuxia lost interest in the various stores nearby and went back to the community directly.
Access control is facial recognition and has been successfully passed in early summer.
Ginkgo trees were transplanted on both sides of the main road of the community, each of which was thick with a waist. After walking a little while in the early summer, someone suddenly said "hey" next to him.
Early summer turned around with grapes.
Han Lie leaned against the ginkgo tree on his right hand in a lazy manner. The white street lights hit his face, like the highlight moments in the TV series. He had a pair of thin lips that were legendary symbolizing love. After "hey", Han Lie took another mouthful of the golden cigarette in his hand, then walked forward a few steps, drove the cigarette butts to the street light pole, and then shot most of the remaining cigarettes into the trash can next to him.
After doing all this, Han Lie walked towards her.
He held a portion of milk tea in his hand.
Early summer likes to drink milk tea. When I was together, Han Lie would give her milk tea every time he met.
But now is not the past.
Early summer kept the speed before continuing to walk towards the nine buildings.
Han Lie leaned against her and followed her.
When I enter the community recently, I will deliberately take a long way when I go to the community. Since I have met tonight, I will not go around again.
In front is Han Lie's side villa. The owner is not here, and the house is dark.
Han Lie did not go home, so he walked forward with her.
Chuxia doesn't understand what he wants to do.
Han Lie finally spoke, and a low voice sounded like a sound in her ear: "I know you have never loved me. A little girl who just graduated from high school knows nothing about love."
Choose to be a quiet listener in early summer.
Han Lie suddenly stopped her.
Early summer stopped and frowned.
Han Lie's narrow and long black eyes were as deep as ink: "But I don't understand, will you fall in love with me now? What does it have to do with the third party's interfering?"
Chuxia is not used to listening to the word "love", especially when Han Lie is still watching her.
She looked to one side and looked calm: "I remember the day I met at the airport. Fang Yue wanted to take me a ride. Please remind him not to delay your date."
Han Lie nodded: "Well, there was a date that day. My friend introduced her to a blind date. The photos sent by WeChat are quite beautiful. I didn't expect that they were p-ed. Real people are not even as good as you."
Chu Xia couldn't hold on to her calm expression.
What does it mean to be inferior to her?
Is she ugly?
Han Lie seemed to find that he had said the wrong thing and smiled: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean that. In short, the blind date partner is too ugly and I didn't even eat with her, let alone date in depth. So I will continue to be single in a short time. During the window period, you will rekindle your old love for me, so you can't be considered as a third party interfering."
"Thank you, but I'm not interested."
Chuxia bypassed him and walked over.
Han Lie caught up and asked playfully: "Why aren't interested?
When you dumped me, I thought I had no money and no future, but now I have money."
Chu Xia seemed to understand Han Lie's motive for entanglement.
He still minded the old grudges he had dumped by her back then, and deliberately used this method to mock her for being vain.
"No interest means no interest, it has nothing to do with whether you have money or not."
"I understand. You still think that I have a low education and are not worthy of you top students."
Chu Xia thought about it and found that the reasons why she would not include Han Lie as her boyfriend's alternative included the lack of common language caused by Han Lie's education, so she simply made acquiesce.
Han Lie criticized her: "You are discriminating. Who says men with low education are not worthy of talking about relationships?
What does it have to do with a man and a woman who is together, likes and takes care of each other, and what does it have to do with her education?
For example, if you are walking on the side of the road with your boyfriend, and suddenly a car is coming towards you. Will your boyfriend sacrifice himself to save you if he has a high education, and his low education will lead you to death?
Is true love and false love still linked to education?"
Chu Xia looked ahead and clarified: "I haven't thought about it that way."
Han Lie: "Then why are you not interested in me?"
Chu Xia was really curious about his brain circuit and looked him up and down: "Why should I be interested in you?
You are rich, do you have Jack Ma and you have money?
You are very handsome, are you as handsome as a young and handsome as a young man in the entertainment industry?
Because you have low education, I am interested in you?"
Han Lie:...
He found that Chuxia had changed. Chuxia, who was eighteen years old, was very quiet and felt a sense of alienation of immersed in his own world. When he pursued her, she didn't talk much and got it. Chuxia's words were pitifully few, and he could easily get flirted with him. He would never argue with him in a long way.
