Marriage First, True Love Later - Chapter 253
253 childhood sweetheart
I’ve known ye Ziwen since I was born. I heard from my mother that the first person who took me from a nurse wasn’t my father nor my grandfather. It was ye Ziwen! At that time, he was only seven years old.
Of course, I had no memory of what mom said. After all, I was too young. Other than crying, I had no memory.
However, I still remember that I didn’t like him as much as I do now. I even hated him because he always liked to bully me and pull my pigtails to make me cry.
Uncle ye was her father’s comrade and lived in the same courtyard. Ye Ziwen had a good relationship with her brother since they were young. She had heard from mother ye that the two of them had even worn the same pair of pants.
!!
“I’m the only girl in both families, so the adults of both families naturally pamper me. Of course, there are exceptions, and that exception is ye Ziwen. He likes to bully me since I was young. I can’t remember things that happened when I was too young, but what I remember deeply is that I was pushed down the field by him when I was five years old.
I remember that on my birthday, mom bought me a very beautiful dress with bubble sleeves. At that time, I was still dreaming of being a Princess, so I was very happy when I got that dress. I ran and jumped in the yard for a long time and even showed it off in front of mom and dad ye. Everyone praised me for my beauty.
Ye Ziwen, who came out of the house, said that I looked like the bad sister of the princess in the cartoon. It was so ugly.
After hearing that, I got angry. I pouted and glared at him for a long time. You know, I want to be a Princess, not a bad sister of a Princess. Because the bad sister of a Princess in the cartoon is so ugly, her face is crooked.
I still remember when I glared at him until my eyes hurt. It was so sore that my eyes were tearing up. In the end, I could only run away unhappily in a fit of anger.
I didn’t go home. Instead, I ran to the field and sulked. I felt that the tutu dress I was wearing was no longer beautiful, so I grabbed the skirt in a fit of anger.
I don’t know if it’s because mother ye saw that I’m angry, so she got him to come and coax me. Just as I sat by the field and muttered to him, he came over and first apologized to me. Then, he said that he had already prepared a gift for me for my birthday.
The moment I heard that he had a gift for me, my unhappiness was reduced by half.
&Quot; it’s our gift, ” I asked him. Although he was still pouting and his tone wasn’t very good, I was still full of anticipation for the ‘gift’ in his hand. After all, it was always good to have someone give me something.
He grinned and even deliberately told me to go back with him and give it to me. I didn’t agree. I thought that he really hid some good treasure and wanted the gift in his hand. Without saying a word, I stepped forward and pulled his hand away. Then, when I saw clearly that he was holding an earthworm in his hand, I was so scared that I directly screamed and subconsciously stepped back. Then, I directly sat on the field. My whole body was covered in mud and water. I cried out in an instant.
Although he didn’t mind the dirt and carried me home after that and was taught a lesson by father ye and mother ye, I still held a grudge against him for two whole years.
And then what made me change my feelings for him? I have to go back to the time when I was eight years old.
“One day, I went home by myself after school. At the school gate, I met the boy that I hated the most in my class, Zhang Xiaoqiang. The reason I hated him was because he was just like ye Ziwen. He liked to pull my braids just because he was behind me. Sometimes, he would even deliberately poke me. Thus, I classified him as the second most hated boy. Of course, ye Ziwen was still the one I hated the most.
Zhang Xiaoqiang said that he wanted to take me to the park near the school. He said that there was a magic show there today and it was very fun. Many people went to see it. After saying that, he didn’t wait for me to agree and pulled me to the park.
&Quot; in fact, I also heard from others at noon. I also wanted to go very much, but because I hated Zhang Xiaoqiang, I didn’t want to go after he said that. I really didn’t want to go, especially when he forcefully pulled my hand, which hurt my hand.
I shook his hand off and said I wanted to go home. I had no interest in magic at all.
After hearing what I said, Zhang Xiaoqiang not only didn’t leave, but grabbed my hand even harder and insisted on pulling me to watch the performance. My hand was in so much pain that I cried.
However, she did not expect to meet ye Ziwen at the entrance of the park, who had also come to watch the performance. At this time, ye Ziwen was already in grade nine. He was wearing a white shirt and carrying a school bag on one shoulder. His hair was also deliberately longer than others, and he looked like a rebellious little gangster.
Seeing that I was shouting and shouting, he looked at Zhang Xiaoqiang who was pulling me. He didn’t ask what was going on. He just looked at Zhang Xiaoqiang coldly and asked him to let me go.
After all, Zhang Xiaoqiang was still a child. When he saw someone so much older than him and with a fierce look on his face, he was already half-dead from fear. He shook off my hand and ran away, not even watching the performance.
I rubbed my wrist that was red from Zhang Xiaoqiang’s grip. I did not even look at him as I turned around and prepared to go home.
However, he grabbed my bag and told me to go in with him to watch the magic show and then go home with him.
At that time, I didn’t like him at all, so I rejected his request without thinking. I even made a face at him and ran away.
After running for a while, I turned back and didn’t expect him to follow me instead of watching the performance. I stopped and glared at him angrily. I asked him why he was following me.
He rolled his eyes at me in a bad mood, saying that he didn’t want any little wimp to bully me later.
In a fit of pique, I said that it had nothing to do with him and that I didn’t need him to care about my matters.
He laughed as he went forward and used his big hand to rub my head. He almost broke my ponytail. He even said that even if we didn’t know each other since we were young, I was at least big brother’s little sister. He and big brother were good friends and good Brothers, so naturally, he would treat me as a little sister.
I glared at him for a while, then turned around and ran, but I didn’t notice that there was a busy road behind me. A van rushed directly towards me. I was so scared that I couldn’t react at all. I could only watch the car driving closer and closer to me.
Just as the van was about to hit me, I was pulled back by a force. Before I could react to what had happened, I had already fallen heavily to the ground. I watched as the van hit ye Ziwen.
I was so worried that I cried. I was afraid that he would die because of this. If he really died, I would be the one who killed him. Although he was annoying, I never wanted him to die.
“After that, he was sent to the hospital. When father, mother, and father ye rushed over, he was still in the operating room. He asked me what was going on. I was so afraid that I couldn’t answer a single word. I was afraid of being scolded, and I was afraid of what would happen if ye Ziwen really died.
Fortunately, he was fine, but his feet and hands were fractured to varying degrees.
When mother ye asked him what was going on, he didn’t even think about it and said that he had accidentally crossed the road.
Then, mom asked me if I was frightened. I didn’t say anything and just looked at him.
Because he saved me and didn’t complain to mom and dad, my image of him in my heart suddenly grew. I changed from the person I hated the most to the person I liked a little.
He stayed in the hospital for half a month because of his broken hands and feet. During this half a month, I came to see him every day after school because I felt guilty for causing him to be like this. I came even more often than my brother and father ye. I gave him candy that I bought with my remaining pocket money for him to eat. Although he didn’t eat the candy I bought, I still bought it every day. Of course, the candy that he didn’t eat would always end up in my stomach.
I don’t know if it’s because he saved me and I feel grateful and guilty towards him, but I started to like following him. I would follow him wherever he went, just like his little follower.
The more I interacted with him, the more I discovered his good points. All the things I hated about him were slowly covered up by his good points, and finally disappeared.
I realized that he was actually a person with a tough mouth but a soft heart. There were a few times when he was annoyed by me, so he deliberately said harsh words to me to stop following him. However, because of my brother, I was always able to get hold of his information at the first moment. I persisted a few times, but he couldn’t do anything to me at all. None of the harsh words I said before came true.
In fact, at first, I thought that I only treated him as a brother and had no other thoughts. It was only when I was 16 years old that I saw him intimately pulling a girl along the street. The two of them even kissed each other intimately. That inexplicable sourness and jealousy in my heart made me realize that I didn’t just have feelings for him as a brother and sister.
I was jealous that the girl could hold his arm so intimately. I hated that they hugged and kissed so sweetly. I hated that he used that kind of gentle look to reach out and push other girls ‘bangs away.
Just because of that scene, I cried all night for no reason. The next day, I ran to ask my brother who the girl was, and only then did I know that the girl was his girlfriend, their junior, the talented girl and the prettiest girl in their school’s Chinese department.
Big brother saw through my strange thoughts and asked me if I had fallen for ye Ziwen. I didn’t say anything. I just held my head with my left hand and held my right hand. I thought so. And it wasn’t the kind of simple brother-sister love, but the love of a girl to a boy.
Big brother didn’t say anything. He just touched my head and turned away.
I went back to my room and thought about it for a long time. In the end, I decided to confess to ye Ziwen. At that time, I thought that at least ye Ziwen and I grew up together. No matter what, we would have the advantage of being the pavilion closest to the water enjoying the moonlight first.
So, I deliberately wore a dress and went to the ye house to wait for him. I waited from 6 p.m. To 10 p.m. And then from 10 p.m. To 12 p.m. He finally came in from the courtyard, humming a song. His face was full of pride. I guessed that he must have gone on a date with the department’s talented girl. I was secretly ashamed that the girl had a date with a man and went back so late, but she had completely forgotten that she had not come home at this time.
He was obviously curious as to why I was still in his courtyard at such a late hour. I told him that I had been waiting for him the whole night. He asked me what was the matter. I paused and looked at him fixedly. I swallowed my saliva and told him the words that I had been thinking about the whole night. I said that I liked him and wanted to be his girlfriend.
He was obviously a little surprised that I would confess to him so late at night. He stared at me for a long time, then suddenly laughed out loud. He used his big palm to rub the hair I had specially combed for him and said that I was a child who hadn’t even grown all his hair yet and knew what love was.
I looked at him in embarrassment and anger, angry that he didn’t take my confession seriously. Thus, I didn’t care whether it was late or not and whether it would disturb others ‘rest. I shouted at him that if I didn’t know what love was, I wouldn’t be sad because he taught a girlfriend, and I wouldn’t be angry and sad because he kissed another girl.
I loudly expressed my understanding of the definition of ‘like’ and ‘love’, but I had no idea that father ye and mother ye had come out of the room to see what was going on because of my argument.
Perhaps he was really frightened by me at that time. He just looked at me fixedly and didn’t react for a long time.
I can’t care about anything else. I only know that I like him very much and don’t want him to be taken away by other girls.
So, I made a bold decision. While he was still in a daze, I took a step forward, stood on my tiptoes, and pressed my lips on his. Because it was my first kiss, I had no experience and was so young that I didn’t know anything. I only pressed my lips against his for a while before I blushed and retreated. I said that he had taken my first kiss, so he had to be responsible for me.
Without waiting for him to answer, I walked around him and wanted to run away. When I reached the entrance of the courtyard, I wanted to turn around and look at him again, but then I noticed father ye and mother ye standing there. They seemed to have been frightened by me, their mouths half-open in shock.
I was also quite frightened by them. I had originally wanted to say something to ye Ziwen, but I was so frightened that I forgot everything. I turned around and ran home.
That night, I slept especially well. My intuition told me that this was good. He would definitely accept my confession and then break up with that girl, because he and I were truly ‘childhood sweethearts’!
But what I didn’t expect was that from the second day after I confessed, he deliberately avoided me and didn’t let big brother tell me about him. He threatened that if I betrayed him, we wouldn’t even be brothers anymore.
I was very sad and didn’t understand why he was doing this. Was it because I wasn’t pretty?
During those few days, I would look at myself in the mirror whenever I had time. In the end, I felt that I wasn’t good looking anymore after looking at myself for too long. Then, I would smash the mirror in a fit of anger, and the innocent mirror would be broken one after another.
In the end, mom couldn’t stand it anymore and came to talk to me. I think she probably heard it from mother ye and thought about it for a few days before deciding to have a deep conversation with me.
She said that I’m still too young and that my studies are more important right now. I shouldn’t spend my time on other things.
I knew that she was referring to the fact that I liked ye Ziwen. I was still immersed in the feeling that ye Ziwen was ignoring me. When I heard her say that, I asked her if ye Ziwen rejected me because I was too young.
Her mother nodded without thinking and said that it must be the case. She said that boys didn’t like girls who were a few years younger than them. They liked girls who were about the same age as them.
I naively thought that it was really like this and even complained about my mother’s question about why she gave birth to me so late.
However, even though mom told me a lot and told me to focus on my studies, I still thought about ye Ziwen and what he would do. When I thought about him being with other girls, my heart felt as uncomfortable as if a monkey was scratching it.
I’m still used to going to the ye family’s house every day after school, but I’ve never met them by chance.
I was very sad. I didn’t understand why he had to hide from me so tightly. Did he really like the Chinese department’s campus Belle that much?
During that period of time, I was unhappy, very unhappy. I even secretly went to the store to buy beer and drank to drown my sorrows like the heartbroken people on TV.
That was the first time I drank. The first sip was so bad that I wanted to throw up, but I held back in the end because I wanted to forget those unhappy things with the wine.
However, I slowly got used to the taste of the beer after the first bottle. By the time I finished all three bottles of beer, I didn’t even know what I had done.
The next day, when I woke up, I felt as if my head was about to split open. It was so painful that I wanted to knock on it with my hand.
When mom came in, she gave me a harsh scolding. It turned out that I was drunk and sang and danced the whole night, making the whole family not sleep the whole night. But even though she scolded me, she still made me some Hangover Tea. After drinking it, my head felt much better.
Maybe big brother told him that I was drunk, so he took the initiative to wait for me at the school gate after school that day. However, his expression was very serious, and he didn’t look like his usual frivolous self. To be honest, I felt a little scared when I saw him.
He said he had something to say to me and took me to the park near the school. We sat down on the stone chairs in the park. I asked him where he had been these past few days, but he didn’t say anything and just looked ahead.
I pouted and felt a little wronged. I asked him why he was avoiding me. Actually, I knew why he was avoiding me, but I just couldn’t accept it if I didn’t ask.
He looked at the sky for a long time, then turned his head to look at me seriously. Then he said that he really only treated me as a sister and asked me not to do those childish things. He wouldn’t like me.
When I heard him say all this, I felt so sad. My heart really felt like it was going to split open. I bit my lips and didn’t let my tears fall. Is it because I’m too young?
He nodded and said yes. Just like what mom said, he said he liked older girls. He also said that he watched me grow up and had always treated me as his little sister.
I’m not willing to accept this. I said that only childhood sweethearts would have a good relationship.
He shook his head and said that we weren’t childhood sweethearts at all because of the age difference between us.
I was very angry and shouted at him, age, age is still age! She asked him,”didn’t people say that love doesn’t care about height or age? why do you keep using age as an excuse to reject me?”
He looked at me for a long time, then gave me the simplest example and asked me if I would like a boy who is still in the third grade of elementary school.
I didn’t realize that he was trying to get information out of me. I didn’t even think about it and directly said that I wouldn’t.
Then he laughed and said that to him, I was the third grade boy I didn’t like.
I felt as if I had shot myself in the foot. I couldn’t say anything to refute him and could only stare at him angrily.
The ‘negotiation’ had gotten the result he wanted. He smiled and reached out to rub my head, telling me not to drink secretly in the future.
I was still angry that he was trying to trick me into telling him the truth. I unhappily shook off his hand and shouted at him that I didn’t want to be his sister at all!
I thought he would follow me home like he did when I was a child, but when I turned around after running for a while, I realized that he was nowhere to be seen.
The grievance in my heart surged up and my tears flowed uncontrollably.
When I reached home, mother ye and mother ye were chatting in the courtyard. They stopped talking when they saw me.
I didn’t have the mood to guess what they were talking about before I came in. I was still sad about what ye Ziwen had said to me before.
Without saying a word or greeting, he went straight back to his room, closed the door, fell onto the bed, and began to cry uncomfortably.
After talking to mother ye, she came in and saw me crying on the bed. She helped me Pat my back and asked me if I liked ye Ziwen that much.
I turned around and buried my head in her arms. I cried and told her what ye Ziwen had told me.
Mom didn’t say that she hated him too much. She only said that I’m still young and that I’ll meet someone I really like in the future.
I pushed her away and turned over in a fit of pique. I hated it when people called me young. I was very sure of my feelings. Feelings had nothing to do with age.
In the end, I sighed and left. I didn’t know how long I cried that day, but I knew that I cried until I fell asleep.
My eyes were red and swollen during breakfast. Grandpa felt bad for me, so he scolded ye Ziwen on my behalf. He even scolded my brother.
After breakfast, my father called me into the study room and asked me if I was really sure about my feelings for ye Ziwen.
I nodded my head firmly. If I didn’t like it, I wouldn’t be so sad.
Seeing that I was so certain, father didn’t say anything else to dissuade me. He only said that if I was sure of my feelings and thoughts, then I should persevere. I shouldn’t retreat and cry because of setbacks. What’s more, I shouldn’t be dispirited and give up.
I was a little surprised that he would say that. I didn’t object but agreed.
When he saw my dazed look, he came over and touched my head. He said that he didn’t object to my feelings for ye Ziwen, but I had to ensure that I lived a normal life and studied.
Someone in my family became my ally, and I suddenly felt a surge of energy, like someone who was on the verge of death being injected with a shot of adrenaline, and I came back to life.
I nodded in agreement and went forward to hug him. I thanked him and thanked him for supporting my choice.
After leaving the study, I made a decision and went directly to the ye family next door.
When I arrived, father ye had already left for the Army while mother ye was cleaning the house. She was surprised to see me.
I didn’t see ye Ziwen in the living room or the kitchen. If I found him, he must still be sleeping. So, I didn’t care about mother ye calling me from behind and ran straight to ye Ziwen’s room.
As I had guessed, he was still sleeping. I went forward and pulled his blanket away. I didn’t expect him to sleep naked, only wearing a pair of boxers.
But at that time, I didn’t care about the awkwardness and embarrassment. I reached out and tried to wake him up.
He frowned and finally opened his eyes. He was a little surprised to see me and asked why I was here. Then, the coldness from his body suddenly made him react. He looked down at himself and then looked up at me. Then, he hurriedly pulled the quilt over himself and asked loudly why I was in his room.
I leaned over and stared at his face. I solemnly said that I would continue to like him. Whether he liked me or not, I would continue to do what I wanted to do until he got married.
I looked at him and thought that he would say something to me, but he looked at me and gave me an irrelevant answer. He asked me if I was a girl, why I broke into a boy’s room, lifted the boy’s quilt, and looked at the boy’s naked body.
I was originally a little embarrassed, but when I saw his red face, I became calm. I deliberately said,”I’ve even seen your naked butt, what’s there to be embarrassed about?”
Of course, the naked one was referring to the photo of him when he was just a month old.
Yesterday’s gloominess was swept away at this moment, and his entire mood was also relaxed.
After that, I would still look for him from time to time, and he would always avoid me on purpose. However, he had a good plan, and I had a wall ladder, so we would meet a few times.
Not long after that, he broke up with the school Belle. I don’t know the reason, but he seemed to be in a bad mood for the past few days.
However, I was secretly happy for a few days because of this news.
“I would still confess my love for him and still look for him from time to time. Time passed by unknowingly. Although I was chasing after him every day, I didn’t feel tired at all. I hoped that I could grow up faster while chasing after him. At that time, I thought that as long as I grew up quickly, I would grow up to the point where he would ignore the age gap between us and grow up to be a real woman instead of a little sister. I thought that he would definitely accept me then.
At that time, I had a very small definition of ‘growing up’. I thought that I would be an adult after I turned 18. I would be old enough and not a little sister but a woman who could stand by his side and be his girlfriend.
So, on the day I turned 18, I rejected my parents “request to celebrate my birthday with me. Instead, I ran straight to ye Ziwen.
At that time, he had already graduated from his master’s degree and was doing an internship in a construction company. He had also moved out of the compound and rented a house near the company where he was interning.
After class, I put on my school uniform and went to his company. I wanted to go up to find him, but I was stopped by his company’s security guards. At that time, I didn’t have a cell phone, so I couldn’t go up after being stopped.
I could only stay in the lobby downstairs and stare at the security guard. In the end, I waited for his company to get off work, but he didn’t come out. Later, I asked someone and found out that he went to the construction site today and didn’t return to the company.
I was a little dispirited. I didn’t expect that this would be the result of my special visit to him.
However, I didn’t go back like this. I still didn’t give up and went to the place he rented to look for him. However, his door was closed. I rang the doorbell for a long time, but no one came out to open it.
I can’t just go back like this. I’ve waited for two years. When I grow up, I have to confess to him again and tell him that he can’t treat me as a sister anymore!
I sat in front of his house and waited. I didn’t know how long I waited, but I fell asleep at the door. He came back and saw me at the door, so he woke me up.
He looked at me in surprise and asked me why I was here.
I rubbed my eyes and wanted to stand up, but I was numb from squatting for too long. I could only raise my head and look at him with grievance.
He felt a little helpless, but in the end, he still bent down and reached out to carry me in.
I sat in his living room and told him that it was my birthday as I drank the tea he poured for me.
He seemed to not know at all. He was stunned for a moment before finally nodding. He reached out to touch my head out of habit and asked me what gift I wanted.
I was a little disappointed that he didn’t remember my birthday, but I didn’t argue with him because I had something important to say to him.
I solemnly told him that I had something to say, but he didn’t seem to notice my serious expression. He just leaned back on the sofa and looked at me with a smile. He asked me what I wanted to say and even said that if he wanted a gift, he could only make it up tomorrow.
I mumbled to myself that I didn’t have to wait until tomorrow for the present I wanted the most. He could give it to me today.
He didn’t respond to my words and only asked me what I wanted to say.
I looked at him seriously and told him that I was turning eighteen today.
He nodded and said that he knew because it was his birthday today.
I knew that he was pretending not to understand me, so I said it more directly. I said that I was no longer a little girl, I was a real woman. He could no longer only treat me as a little sister, because I don’t want to be his sister, I want to be his girlfriend!
He laughed after hearing that, as if he was laughing at my naivety and naivety. He asked me if I knew the difference between a girl and a woman.
I was a little angry. Angry that he didn’t want to accept me and deliberately laughed at me.
I showed all my anger on my face and told him that I had taken biology classes before, so of course I knew the difference between girls and women. I also boldly told him that if he was willing, I was willing to let him turn me into a real woman!
He seemed to have been frightened by my words. The smile on his face disappeared in an instant, and he angrily scolded me for being ridiculous!
I ignored the anger on his face, just like I ignored the disappointment when he didn’t remember my birthday. I went up to him and sat down beside him, reached out and hugged him tightly, telling him that I really liked him, that I had really grown up, that I could change from a girl to a woman for him, as long as he was willing to want me.
But even after I said that, he still pushed me away. He didn’t want me. He still said that he could only treat me as a sister. He said that I just didn’t meet a Better Boy. He said that I only admired and loved him when I was young. He said that I didn’t know what love was at all.
I cried very sadly and asked him why he was so bad to me. I clearly liked him so much.
He said he was doing this for my own good.
In the end, he sent me home. At the door, I told him that this was the worst birthday I had ever had. It was a hundred times worse than when he used earthworms to scare me when I was five years old.
He laughed without any sympathy and said that he was very sorry for giving me such terrible memories twice. He also said that since he knew that it was not good for him to be like this, he might as well forget him.
I said I’m not that stupid. I won’t let him go just like that.
I received his gift when I got home the next afternoon. It was the latest mobile phone at that time. His number and a text message were saved in the mobile phone, telling her not to wait foolishly at the company and the door in the future, and to call him directly.
The moment I held my phone, I had a faint feeling that he actually liked me too. As long as I persisted and worked hard, I might succeed.
I persisted for another seven years. I still solemnly confessed to him on my birthday every year. Of course, he would always use the same excuse to reject me again and again every year. I still liked to go to him from time to time and call him every day with the phone he gave me.
There were a few times when he seemed to be really annoyed by me and told me not to look for him again. He even turned off his phone and didn’t let me contact him.
I only found out from my brother that he had changed his number and specifically told me not to know.
After I found out, I rushed to his house and told him that as long as he got married, I would definitely not bother him like this anymore.
I regretted it the moment I said it. I was afraid that if he really found a woman to marry, what would I do?
But fortunately, I didn’t hear the news of his marriage, nor did I hear that he had another woman by his side, so I was relieved.
In the past seven years, other than ye Ziwen and I, the people around us have also experienced a lot. Back then, brother’s girlfriend actually cheated on him, and the other party was ye Ziwen and brother’s mutual good friend, Zhou han. Because of this, brother almost no longer believed in relationships and never had a girlfriend. Mother almost always held family meetings at home because of brother’s matters, but the results were obviously much more futile.
Just when the family thought that he was really going to be single for the rest of his life, they didn’t expect him to get a marriage certificate with someone without a word and follow the trend to become a flash marriage.
I opened a restaurant after I graduated from University, called ‘leisure restaurant’. Thanks to my brother and ye Ziwen’s relationship, business has been good since the opening and the reputation has slowly built up.
In the beginning, I just ran the restaurant as a hobby because I liked to eat all kinds of food. In the end, I really developed feelings for it and took it seriously as a business.
However, I didn’t expect to meet ye Ziwen’s ex-girlfriend here. The only girl he publicly acknowledged, the former campus Belle.
In fact, she had changed quite a lot. Her long hair had become short hair that reached her ears, and her slim and tall figure had become a little fat. The most important thing was that the child in her arms and the bespectacled, refined-looking man sitting opposite her were married and had a child.
Even though she had changed so much, I could still recognize her at a glance, because I had been jealous of her for a long time.
I went up to greet her, but she seemed to have forgotten about me. I said that I was ye Ziwen’s friend, and she nodded her head, but her face was calm.
“When I saw her again, I really wanted to know why she broke up with ye Ziwen back then. The reason why I had such a strong desire to find out was that this woman was the only girlfriend that ye Ziwen had ever acknowledged and was also his first love. I instinctively felt that this woman definitely had a different meaning to ye Ziwen. Perhaps he had not accepted me for so long because of this woman …
Because I wanted to know, I took the opportunity when her husband went to the bathroom to sit opposite her.
She seemed to be a little surprised and asked me what I wanted.
Due to time constraints, her husband could return at any time. I didn’t want their relationship to be affected by ye Ziwen, so I went straight to the point and asked her why she broke up with ye Ziwen.
She looked at me for a while and asked me what my relationship with ye Ziwen was.
I said I was his friend.
She seemed to have only just remembered that we had met once in the past. She smiled and asked me if you were su yijiao, the little sister next door to ye Ziwen.
When I heard the word ‘little girl next door’, I instinctively felt repulsed. I frowned and said unhappily that I was not a little girl!
She was still smiling, and her gentleness matched her temperament very well.
She didn’t beat around the bush and only said that they had broken up back then because she realized that ye Ziwen didn’t love her.
I couldn’t help but widen my eyes. She was the only girlfriend he had ever publicly acknowledged all these years. If he had never loved her, who else had he loved?
I still wanted to ask more, but I heard her say that her husband had returned. I understood that she didn’t want her husband to misunderstand, and I didn’t want to cause a Rift between the couple, so I didn’t ask any more questions. I stood up and walked away. I went to the counter and told the lobby manager to let their table be free of charge.
The words of that talented female campus Belle hovered in my head for a few days. I still couldn’t figure out who ye Ziwen loved if he didn’t love her. Could it be that there was someone else hidden in his heart all this time? that’s why he couldn’t accept my confession and get so close to another woman for so many years.
As I thought about it, I started to cry for no reason. This was the first time I felt so tired. I confessed to him again and again, but I was rejected again and again. For so many years, I had been obsessed with one man and never looked at the other guys around me. Then, I suddenly realized that perhaps the person I liked had an unforgettable figure hidden in his heart. No matter how long I persisted and worked hard, it was all in vain.
Such a realization hit my heart hard, almost making me collapse.
Sister-in-law saw me hiding in the room and crying. She asked me what happened.
I felt wronged, so I told sister-in-law all the grievances and persistence I had suffered for so many years.
Sister-in-law told me to let go when I’m tired and not to let myself suffer.
Let go. I’ve never thought of letting go. I’m very clear about my feelings for ye Ziwen. Rather than saying that I like him, I think it’s more like love.
However, his sister-in-law said that feelings were a matter between two people. It was not enough to rely on one-sided effort and hard work. Loving a person did not mean giving everything for the other party. She could not just blindly accommodate him and sacrifice herself. She said that if she did not get a response, she should consider whether she should let go and not insist on it.
However, I’ve liked ye Ziwen since I was eight years old, until I was sixteen years old, and now I’m twenty-five years old. It’s been seventeen years. That kind of love has almost become a part of my life.
However, sister-in-law’s last words made me change my mind. She said that if one day ye Ziwen brought a woman back, what should I do? sister-in-law really stumped me. I’ve never thought about what I should do if he really found a woman and got married. I’ve always thought that the only thing between us was our age difference of seven years. I’ve never thought that if the woman between us was really the woman he loved deeply, then I wouldn’t have any chance. Then all my years of hard work and persistence are just a joke?
My sister-in-law told me to try to let go. At least, I shouldn’t let myself run after him. No matter how much I like him, if he really doesn’t give us a chance, then why should I force it? because feelings are never something that can be forced to live on.
I thought about sister-in-law’s words for two days and finally felt that she was right. At least, I shouldn’t let myself run behind him again. I’ve been running behind him for seventeen years. No matter how far the distance is, it should be close.
In the end, I decided to take a gamble on whether he had me in his heart and whether he really had no feelings for me. If I win, I think I’ll win love. If I lose, I think I should see if all these years of persistence and persistence were really worth it.
No matter what the result is, I think it’s good for me.
For the sake of this bet, I told myself to stop the habit of calling him. I no longer took the initiative to look for him, nor did I create opportunities to look for him. I tried my best to treat him as an ordinary stranger. I even deliberately ate with other men and went shopping.
But at first, she was really not used to it. Every time she picked up the phone, she wanted to call him, but after a few times, she realized that she had to quickly reject the call.
For a week, I didn’t call him, and he didn’t reply to me. I was a little upset. I wondered if he was so happy that he slept very well because he didn’t pick up my call.
I waited for ten days, but he still didn’t look for me once. I thought that the result of my bet should be out. The result is that he really doesn’t have me in his heart, and he doesn’t have any feelings for me.
This was the result I had expected, but it still made me feel terrible.
I gave myself a break and handed over all the work at the restaurant to manager Zhang. Then, I carried my luggage and went out. I went to many places that I didn’t have time to go to because I was chasing after ye Ziwen.
I’ll treat this trip as a way to heal my injuries and to mark the end of my relationship with ye Ziwen. When I return, I’ll forget about him completely and start a new life.
Standing under the blue sky of Greece, I once again took out my phone to call ye Ziwen. When I realized what I was doing, I felt that I was too useless. I immediately threw my phone into the Aegean Sea.
My actions scared the American who was standing beside me and taking pictures with a camera.
He came forward to greet me, but I didn’t want to respond to him. One reason was that I was in a bad mood, and the other was that my English was very bad!
He saw that I wasn’t speaking, so he switched to Japanese.
When I heard that, I was furious. I turned around and glared at him, saying that you’re the Japanese!
He was stunned for a moment, and then said in Chinese, ” so you’re Chinese. ”
I ignored him and turned to leave.
I just didn’t expect that I would be staying in the same hotel as him, and his room was coincidentally next to mine.
When I was drinking at the bar that night, I didn’t expect to meet him again. This time, he wasn’t afraid of my cold eyes and came up to chat with me. He said that we must be fated. Otherwise, how could we meet so many times?
I took a sip of wine and laughed coldly in my heart. A foreigner is talking to me about fate. How long has he learned Chinese? does he even know the meaning of the word fate?
In the next few days, I often met him, and I found out his name from time to time. His name was Johnson, and he was a photographer. He took photos all over the world for more than half a year.
His Chinese wasn’t very good, but he could have simple and normal communication with me. I felt lucky to be able to meet someone who could speak Chinese in a foreign country, so even if he was annoying, I didn’t coldly drive him away.
Actually, I didn’t have any purpose for this trip at all. It was just to relax, so I didn’t know where my next destination was after leaving Greece.
Without a phone, I haven’t contacted manager Zhang for a few days. I don’t know what the situation is like in the restaurant now. In fact, after doing something for a long time, there will be feelings.’Youran cuisine’ has become my career from my initial hobby. It is an indispensable part of my life.
I used the hotel’s phone to Call Manager Zhang to ask about the situation at the restaurant. Manager Zhang reported to me the progress of the work during this period. We talked for a long time. When we were about to hang up the phone, he seemed to have something to say.
I’m not a very patient person, and I hate people who say half of their words or stammer without being able to give a reason. So I directly asked him in a cold voice what else he had to say.
Seeing that I was angry, manager Zhang didn’t dare to stammer and explain clearly. He directly told me that ye Ziwen came to the store to look for me seven times while I was away. At first, he came once every two or three days or called to ask if I was going back. Now, he’s been waiting in the store every day to see when I would appear.
After I heard it, I was stunned. I didn’t quite understand why he was looking for me, and why he was so diligent! Doesn’t he hate it when I find him annoying? Didn’t he even change his number so that I wouldn’t be annoyed? Why are you looking for me now?
I thought about why he suddenly looked for me the whole night. In the end, I was skeptical that I might have won the bet I made with myself. He might have me in his heart, and he might not only treat me as a brother and sister!
[ But I’m too timid. I can only suspect that I might have won, but I’m not sure if I’ve won. So, I’m thinking what I should do if I misunderstand it! ]
I was caught in a dilemma as to whether I should go back or not, and I didn’t sleep well the entire night.
The next day, she went to the living room for breakfast with two panda eyes and an unhappy face. She happened to meet Johnson, who was about to return to his room after breakfast.
Johnson told me that his shoot in Greece was completed, and he bought a plane ticket today to return to America tomorrow.
When I heard that he wanted to go back, my little head suddenly turned and I immediately thought of a wonderful idea.
I asked him if he had any work arrangements, and he honestly said he had half a month off.
I was overjoyed. Even the heavens were helping me.
So, I invited Johnson to come back with me. I used the beautiful scenery of our country to seduce him. This trick was really useful. He was obviously very tempted, as if he wanted to leave with me the next moment.
But in the end, he rejected me, and the reason he rejected me was that he didn’t have enough funds. China was too big and there were too many places to go. He didn’t have enough funds to go to too many places!
There was a saying that problems that could be solved with money were not problems!
So, I told him that if he wanted to go to China, I could cover all his expenses!
He stared at me with his blue eyes and asked me if it was true.
I didn’t even think about it and agreed to it.
When he heard me say that, he immediately agreed and said that as long as I paid for it, he would go to China with me.
I’ll pay for the expenses, but I have a condition. I want him to be my boyfriend.
In the end, I went back to China with Johnson. When I was in the car with him and was about to go to youran cuisine, I saw the latest newspaper in the car. Only then did I know that in the time that I wasn’t around, my brother had been made into the front page headlines by that Ling LAN!
I couldn’t care about anything else, so I pulled Johnson back to the compound. Fortunately, brother and sister-in-law didn’t seem to have a bad relationship because of the newspaper incident.
I deliberately acted lovey-dovey with Johnson in front of everyone, and I even deliberately brought Johnson next door to chat with Mama ye, telling her that Johnson was my boyfriend. In addition, I called manager Zhang to tell him that I had returned, so that if he saw su Yicheng again, he could directly tell him that I was in the compound.
&Quot; I think if ye Ziwen is really interested in me, then he’ll come to me. If he really only sees me as a sister, then with Johnson around, I won’t lose too much face.
Fortunately, I won this round because ye Ziwen came to the house the next day. The first thing he did when he entered the house was to punch Johnson in the face without saying a word. The force of the punch was so strong that I felt pain on Johnson’s face.
I’ve never seen ye Ziwen like this. He’s usually mean, but he never gets physical. This is the first time I’ve seen him hit someone, and it’s also the first time he’s hit someone in front of me.
I was stunned for a while before I reacted and pulled them away. I was a little happy, but I also felt sorry for Johnson. He was beaten up for no reason because of me.
After confirming that I have a place in ye Ziwen’s heart, I asked him if he was in pain to avenge Johnson.
As expected, ye Ziwen was so angry that she stomped her feet. I suddenly had a feeling that my scheme had succeeded.
I didn’t stay smug for long because ye Ziwen seemed to be really angry with me. She grabbed my hand and pulled me away, not even giving me a chance to resist.
I drove me to an empty field, and I couldn’t see a single person for a few miles. He asked me what happened to Johnson.
Before I was angry with him, he made me feel so wronged and said that Johnson was my boyfriend.
It was only at that moment that I realized that he was a barbarian because he pulled me over and stuffed my mouth without a word.
Being kissed by him gave me a feeling of happiness after suffering. I understood that my persistence and hard work for so many years had not been in vain. However, the more I got to this moment, the more I felt aggrieved for my past. I couldn’t help but reach out to Pat him.
He didn’t let go and allowed me to hit him as I pleased. His lips were still kissing me tightly.
I was kissed until I couldn’t breathe. In the end, I could only lean in his arms and gasp for breath.
His hand never let go of me from the beginning. He patted me to calm me down and said in my ear that he loved me.
I cried and called him a bastard. I cried and said that I had been wronged for so many years. I cried and said that I didn’t want his love anymore.
He was overbearing and told me that I couldn’t do it. He said that if I provoked him, I had to take responsibility for my entire life. He said that he had grabbed my hand and would never let go for the rest of my life.
Only then did I know that he was such an unreasonable person in the news, but I loved him so much!
That night, he took me back to his apartment in the city. He held my hand tightly, afraid that I would run away.
He told me that he was looking for me when I was missing. I only complained about why I didn’t know his feelings for me until now, and why I had to chase after him for so many years.
He said he didn’t dare to. I didn’t understand what he didn’t dare to do, but I suddenly remembered that his ex-girlfriend, the school Belle, said that he had never really loved her, so I asked him why he wanted to break up with her.
He said that he wasn’t the one who initiated the breakup, it was the school Belle.
I asked him if it was because he had someone else in his heart.
He looked at me in surprise, but he didn’t ask how I knew. He just nodded and looked into my eyes.
My heart clenched and I unconsciously clenched my hands tightly as I asked who he was.
He didn’t say anything and just leaned over to kiss my mouth, then my eyes, nose, neck …
I couldn’t push him away at all. He was the man I’ve loved for more than ten years. I used to dream of becoming his woman, and I couldn’t resist his gentleness at all.
When our bodies were tightly pressed together, I heard him say in my ear,”it’s you!”
The tearing pain made me unable to react. When the pain passed, I realized that he was saying that I was the person in his heart, that I was the person the school Belle was talking about.
I couldn’t say anything, I just stretched out my hand and tightly returned his favor.
When I woke up, it was already the next morning. When I opened my eyes, he was lying beside me, smiling at me.
I was in a daze and felt like I was in a dream. Everything felt so unreal.
When he saw that I was in a daze, he took the initiative to give me a good morning kiss. His passion brought me back to reality and let me know that everything was not a dream. I was really with him.
It was almost noon when we got out of bed. He made me a simple sandwich. It didn’t taste good, but I ate it very happily. My heart was full of happiness.
In the end, he said that he would send me back later and ask for my hand in marriage with my parents.
I suddenly stopped and asked him what he said.
He repeated his words and still said that he was going to propose marriage.
I asked him why, and he said that he would take responsibility.
My face turned sour. I put down the sandwich and turned to leave.
To hell with his responsibility, I’ve always wanted love, to hell with responsibility!
Seeing that I was angry and he even asked us what was going on, I cursed him in my heart. Without saying a word, he returned to the courtyard.
He was really a blockhead. As soon as he entered the house, he shouted to his mother about the marriage proposal.
When he said that we were going to get married, my family was happy to see it happen. I was the only one who was unwilling. The more I thought about it, the more I felt aggrieved for myself. After all, I had followed him for so many years. Why did he say that we were going to get married? it would only make me look like I was being degraded!
In the end, he had no choice but to ask me what I had to do in order to agree to marry him. I thought about it and said that I had to let him pursue me once and let me feel the feeling of being pursued.
I wanted him to have a taste of what it felt like to be chasing after someone.
&Quot; as a result, our identities changed completely. He became the me of the past, bombarding me with phone calls and text messages every day. He even stopped working properly.
In fact, I just want that vanity, because in love, whoever falls in love first will lose first. But since he has done so much for me, I have no regrets, because I know that it was worth it to persist in this relationship.
I slowly closed the notebook and placed it at the bottom of the drawer. I wrote down my feelings for ye Ziwen in paragraphs. When I’m old, I’ll reminisce about the taste of love in the past.
At this moment, the door of the room was opened and I saw ye Ziwen come in from outside, rubbing her neck. When she saw me sitting in front of the dressing table, she asked,”What are you writing now?”
I only shook my head, got up, and walked over to him. I pulled him over to sit on the bed and said,”I have something to tell you.”
“What?” He looked at me and reached out to push away the bangs on my forehead.
I looked into his eyes and seriously said, ” “Let’s get married.”
Hearing that, I saw that he was stunned and looked at me in a daze. He didn’t react for a long time.
“W-what did you just say?” His silly look was especially cute.
I chuckled and pulled his hand to my stomach. I deliberately muttered, ” “It won’t look good in the wedding dress if her belly gets bigger …”
He was stunned again. His gaze moved from my face to my stomach. He was stunned for a full minute before he came back to his senses. He grabbed my shoulder excitedly and asked me what I meant.
Why would I laugh at him? however, I still kindly leaned over to his ear and told him that I was pregnant.
I tested it after dinner. I tried it a few times, but it was positive. It seems that he can only stop his ‘love compensation plan’ for me, because I don’t want to wear a wedding dress with a big belly. It won’t look good.
&Quot; he suddenly laughed out loud, picked me up, and spun me around like a child. He said he was going to be a father. His voice was so high that I was afraid that he would be complained by the residents upstairs and downstairs.
After the excitement, he said that he was going to call everyone to inform them, but I stopped him because it was really late. I found that disturbing someone’s sleep was the most shameless act.
In the end, when I was sleeping in a daze, I only heard someone whispering beside me, but because I was too tired, I didn’t hear anything.
The next day, when I was still lazing around in bed, the doorbell rang. I reached out and pushed the door, hoping that ye Zi would get up to open the door. I didn’t expect to reach out for nothing.
Feeling drowsy and confused, she walked out of the room and saw mother ye and mother ye sitting in the living room, talking about something. There were bags of unknown items on the coffee table in front of them.
When they saw me coming out of the room, the two of them rushed over to me and asked me how many months it had been, if I had been to the hospital, and if my morning sickness was serious …
I was stunned. I wanted to ask them how they found out so quickly, but mother ye took the initiative to explain that she received a call from ye Ziwen in the middle of the night to say that I was pregnant!
Only then did I remember the rustling sound next to me when I woke up in the middle of the night yesterday. It turned out that he was on the phone to tell me the good news.
I turned around and saw a smiling face.
