Chapter 52 Nap
"Hey - that young lady just now is so pretty."
In the restaurant, Fei Yuting returned to her seat and mysteriously took out her mobile phone. Inside were photos she had secretly taken when she came back from the toilet, a man and a woman.
Li Xiuyu glanced at it without interest, and his eyes lit up instantly.
Hu Mengdie? Why is she here!
She looked up and saw her back not far away. But who the man is cannot be clearly seen in the photo, but he is definitely not Li Zhuangsheng.
"Go and take a clear picture of the man and show it to me."
"Hey, why..."
Li Xiuyu didn't even blink: "It seems to be my friend's husband."
Fei Yuting was stunned for a moment, then set off angrily. After a while, she brought the photos back.
Li Xiuyu looked at the man in the photo. He looked familiar. He must have seen him before...
"Qi Haoyu!"
Li Xiuyu was shocked, how could it be him?
There probably weren't many people in Xingpeng who didn't know about Hu Mengdie and Qi Haoyu's relationship back then.
Bad conjectures came to mind, and Li Xiuyu was so angry that he almost broke into a fight. He wanted to pick up a boiling kettle and throw it on the face of this bad couple!
calm down……
Li Xiuyu took a deep breath, trying to control his anger, but he still couldn't hold it back completely.
Li Zhuangsheng is such a fool. Let me tell you why he has been so restless recently! It turns out that my wife is cheating on me!
This bitch pretended so well, I almost got deceived!
No, this idiot Li Zhuangsheng has too low emotional intelligence. He might have been fooled into a fool... I have to go find him first and stabilize his position!
"You send me the photo...Okay, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Li Xiuyu stood up and decided to go to Li Zhuangsheng first instead of alerting the enemy.
Fei Yuting grabbed Li Xiuyu's hand and said coquettishly: "Are you in such a hurry? We haven't eaten yet... If there's anything urgent, let's talk about it after dinner."
"Then let's break up. There's no need to see each other next time."
Li Xiuyu gently shook Fei Yuting away without looking back.
"……Eh?"
Fei Yuting was petrified on the spot.
After leaving the restaurant, Li Xiuyu immediately called Li Zhuangsheng, but no one answered. Li Xiuyu was so angry that he drove directly to his house, worried in his heart, he couldn't think about it... No, no, no, it shouldn't be, he was not stingy to that extent.
She should have figured out long ago that this Hu Mengdie was not a good person!
It's really disgusting. It's all Li Zhuangsheng's fault... He used to talk about not getting married every day at home, but he accidentally took Hu Mengdie home. Are you trying to feint with me? It's really strict!
Where is your original backbone of "not marrying unless the girl is a virgin" and "not giving a dowry"? It turns out that you can lower your requirements when you meet a beautiful woman?
Then am I not a beauty?
When he first learned that Li Zhuangsheng was dating Hu Mengdie, Li Xiuyu was even more shocked than when he learned that his best friend, whom he started dating in college, was a closeted person and had always wanted to cheat on him!
Originally, in order to be angry with Li Zhuangsheng, she said what she had done, but in the end, Li Zhuangsheng accepted it easily, making her neither advance nor retreat.
Why can he accept this kind of thing so easily? Is it because it is very common in the second dimension?
I hate the second dimension!
Li Xiuyu would later think of her best friend, who left quietly after her intentions were exposed and never contacted her again... just half a month before Li Zhuangsheng brought Hu Mengdie home.
Li Xiuyu often felt sorry for the other party. He didn't know whether the other party had inquired about her current situation or how she felt.
"Li Zhuangsheng, you are such a pig! Just say that outsiders don't have a sister to kiss you. You still don't believe it! You can only rely on me now!"
Li Xiuyu drove carefully on the snow and cursed softly.
……
"Mengdie..."
Qi Haoyu put on a smile, and the mutton hotpot on the table was steaming.
"Don't call me that, I'm married."
Hu Mengdie raised the wedding ring on her hand indifferently.
"Don't be like this, okay? Do you really want to be so heartless?"
"You and I have no love at all, don't get close to each other."
Hu Mengdie glanced at her phone impatiently. Hu Mengke sent her a text message:
【you win】
A bright smile appeared on the corner of Hu Mengdie's mouth, which made Qi Haoyu across from him look a little distracted.
"Our relationship for so many years is not as good as his two years?"
Qi Haoyu was affectionate and wanted to grab Hu Mengdie's hand, but Hu Mengdie dodged it.
"What we have accumulated over the years is not feelings, but disgust for you." Hu Mengdie frowned, "You should know why I did this this time..."
Qi Haoyu interrupted Hu Mengdie, his face showing grievance and anger: "Does it have to end like this? I am unwilling, I clearly didn't..."
Hu Mengdie shook her head and sneered, her eyes not disguising her contempt and disdain: "What are you unwilling to accept? You are so disgusting."
Qi Haoyu was deeply hurt by Hu Mengdie's eyes, and shouted angrily: "I am disgusting? Isn't it your fault? I am also a man, why should I..."
"Keep your voice down, others still need to eat." Hu Mengdie reminded, sneering deliberately, "You are so uncultured. Fortunately, my husband is not like you."
"Isn't he that much better than me? He just has a broken system!"
"This has nothing to do with the establishment. Even if he begs for food, I still love him...and don't compare yourself with him. It's too much of a waste for him."
Qi Haoyu was so angry at this sentence that his face turned red and he was speechless.
"I agreed to meet you today so that I can explain everything to you in person. This is also my final warning. Please stop harassing me over the phone, or I will call the police. I have friends in the police station, so be careful not to let anyone know about your affairs."
Hu Mengdie spoke mercilessly. Looking at Qi Haoyu's face, which was as red as a monkey's butt and his expression as if he had eaten a fly, she felt a little relieved because of the estrangement and boredom from Li Zhuangsheng in recent days.
At this moment, her cell phone rang. When she saw who was coming, a smile immediately appeared on her face, and she replied quickly.
"My husband is looking for me. I have to go." Hu Mengdie raised her phone.
"You...he, is he really that good?"
"Well, he is my Tiga."
Hu Mengdie picked up her bag solemnly and stood up. She stopped looking at Qi Haoyu, walked to the cashier and paid half of the money, even though she didn't even take a sip of water.
……
The north wind blew, and Li Zhuangsheng shivered in the pavilion. In fact, he felt less cold after wearing the scarf, but he drank three more cans of beer.
My phone is out of battery, but fortunately I have some cash in my pocket. It was the New Year's money given by Chen Lanying during the Chinese New Year...
Although he had made up his mind, filing for divorce was not a trivial matter after all, and he needed to give himself some courage.
In fact, wine cannot make people bold, otherwise the wine table culture would not be so popular. After all, everyone at the wine table looks like an idiot, but it is rare for anyone to speak out what is on their mind after drinking.
It only gives people a little psychological hint, but it is enough for Li Zhuangsheng at this moment.
After a while, the alcohol came over me. Although it was only three cans of beer, Li Zhuangsheng, who usually did not drink alcohol and drank on an empty stomach, had already made him drunk.
I don't know when the snow stopped, the earth was covered in silver, the sky and the earth were all white.
Li Zhuangsheng was leaning on a bench in the pavilion, playing with the golden lock, wondering whether it was real or fake... Suddenly, in the light of the snow, he discovered that there were words engraved on the back.
To tie the knot
Li Zhuangsheng was stunned, and inexplicably felt that this was most likely real gold.
"Forever together... forever together..."
Li Zhuangsheng stroked the words on the golden lock and smiled softly.
He was feeling drunk and lay on the bench, suddenly thinking of Xingpeng's platform.
During the school sports meet, many teachers sat on it with stopwatches to keep time.
That was its only function. From what I remember, it was quite tall, about seven or eight floors, four or five meters, and I had to hold on to the wooden planks on the stairs to go up each floor.
Because it is very tall and heavy, this platform has always been placed on the edge of the playground. When someone gets tired during physical education class, they will sit on the platform to rest.
Li Zhuangsheng often hung out there when he was in school, but he didn't expect it to be demolished.
"It's too old and very dangerous, so let's tear it down." Li Zhuangsheng suddenly remembered Fei Yuxian's words.
When she said it, it was so natural.
Because it’s been many years.
Come to think of it, he has become less and less concerned about time over the years. Perhaps this is a common problem for those who are mediocre.
Only occasionally, when hearing a few words from others, do I remember that I am no longer a teenager.
There are no Jiazi in the mountains, and it is so cold that I don’t know the year.
This is a poem at the beginning of Journey to the West.
But the same poem can give different feelings in different moods.
When I first read it as a teenager, I felt it was a fairy-like feeling. But now when I think about it, I feel a sense of desolation.
It has been seen that pine and cypress have been destroyed for salaries, and the mulberry field has become a sea.
That platform used to waste a lot of his time. During the summer evening self-study sessions, he would always run to the platform alone, climb up to the top level tremblingly, and lie down horizontally.
The width was just enough for him to lie down.
He felt the remaining warmth from the summer day coming from the wooden planks beneath him and enjoyed the leisurely evening breeze.
Until the school bell rang in the distance, the classrooms in the teaching building became dark one by one.
Before that, he just lay there quietly, listening to his MP3, looking at the deep sky, his mind full of wild and imaginative fantasies.
Fantasizing about beautiful girls and becoming successful.
The playground was empty at night, and what accompanied him were sometimes the bright moon and sometimes the twinkling stars.
It’s hard to tell my feelings to others, so I’ll just tell it to the blue sky and the bright moon.
While gazing at the bright moon and the stars, he thought of Li Bai and Tang Yin, and immaturely thought that he was just like them and regarded the moon as his only close friend.
Or I might chant and caress the white moon, thinking that a thousand years have passed in this world, and imagine myself drinking and chatting with Li Bai, Su Shi and Xin Qiji in the moon.
I think I am just like them, frustrated and unhappy.
Even though he hadn't even thought seriously about the future, the boy's heart was so restless.
The platform was always with him, but there were only stars and the moon in his eyes.
It was finally demolished, and now I finally remember it again.
Li Zhuangsheng stretched out his hand and felt something slowly moving away from him.
He couldn't catch it, and he felt very melancholy.
What is it like?
Li Zhuangsheng thought about it seriously, but unfortunately his writing skills were too weak to describe this feeling.
I just think there is one less place to reminisce and I can never go back.
When I was young, I was proud of my lofty writing skills, but now, my youth has faded and I feel desolate.
He seemed to have failed the young boy's expectations of his future.
Li Zhuangsheng couldn't help but sit up, thinking of the bright moon, and suddenly thought of the girl who was like the bright moon.
She stood on the podium and led the exercises. She was wearing a black and white school uniform, and her always-high ponytail fluttered in the sun.
However, Li Zhuangsheng could not remember her face clearly. Why did she become so blurry?
"Life in this world is like a traveler on a long journey. After the floating clouds have parted, ten years have passed..."
Li Zhuangsheng said softly.
"It's so cold, why are you here... Hey, have you been drinking?" Hu Mengdie walked quickly forward and stretched out her hand to help Li Zhuangsheng up.
"I didn't drink much..." Li Zhuangsheng waved his hand.
"Then let's go home." Hu Mengdie said with a smile.
Li Zhuangsheng opened his hazy drunken eyes and looked at Mingyue who was walking out of the snow. He exhaled a breath of cold air and grinned softly: "I'm sorry, let's get a divorce."
……
"Li Zhuangsheng!"
Following a stern shout, Li Zhuangsheng stood up quickly and shivered.
I could hear a few more giggles in my ears. The ceiling fan above my head was squeaky in the stuffy air, but it didn't bring much cool breeze. The sound of cicadas outside the window was so annoying.
"How dare you sleep in my class? Go to the bathroom and wash your face!"
The stern and deep voice sounded again. Li Zhuangsheng looked around in a daze, wiped the sweat from his head, and felt dizzy.
A thousand mountains in my afternoon dream, an arrow in the shadow of the window.
"Hey? Are you still asleep? What kind of dream did you have? Tell me about it. Write an 800-word essay and give it to me tomorrow."
"Zhuang Sheng dreamed of a butterfly. Could he be dreaming of Hu Mengdie?"
"Hahahahahaha!"
Someone shouted something strange, and the classroom immediately broke out into cheerful laughter.
Li Zhuangsheng was kicked out of the classroom in a daze and walked towards the bathroom. The afternoon sun was scorching and dazzling, and he was in a daze.
Where is the bathroom? Oh, it seems to be on both sides of the floor... When I walked into the bathroom, a rusty and slightly fishy smell hit my nose.
He frowned, turned on the faucet, and splashed water to wash his face.
"Classmate, why are you here?"
A surprised voice sounded from behind.
"Wow!"
Li Zhuang was startled by the sudden incident, and the people behind him were also frightened.
The two looked at each other, looking at each other.
"You, what's wrong with you..." Li Zhuangsheng stuttered.
"This is... the women's restroom." The man said leisurely, "The men's restroom should be at the other end, right?"
Li Zhuangsheng subconsciously glanced inside and found that there was indeed no urinal.
"I forgot...haha...look at me, I really didn't mean it..."
Li Zhuangsheng gave an awkward smile, stepped back repeatedly, and prepared to run away.
"It's okay, I believe you..." The girl smiled and stretched out her hand, "Let's get to know each other, my name is Hu Mengdie."
"Haha, I've heard a lot about you..." Li Zhuangsheng didn't dare to answer, turned around and ran away, "I really didn't mean to go into the wrong toilet, don't tell the teacher!"
Hu Mengdie looked at Li Zhuangsheng running down the stairs with a little surprise on her face, but after a moment's thought, she guessed his intention.
She showed a strange smile on her face, snorted, and whispered to herself: "I know it even if you don't tell me. Li Zhuangsheng from Class 13... You little bitch, I won't let you cause me any trouble this time."
