Chapter 27: The World Is Ugly

Odora never expected to meet Zhang Lei around the corner. No, to be precise, it's them. At that time, there was a girl in a long white dress standing next to him, and that kind of decent, elegant, and quiet temperament could still be felt even if it was so far away. Ódora remembers that when she used to go shopping with Zhang Lei, she always chattered like a sparrow. Those who like her will like her kind of noise, and those who don't like her will hate it.

It was Le Xiaoxue who saw Zhang Lei first. Just as she was thinking about how to avoid these two people subtly and naturally, Adora's suddenly stiff body had already reminded her that she saw them. How can you not see it? Zhang Lei is tall and handsome, so it is naturally easy to attract attention in the crowd. And the girl next to him, with her long black hair naturally dragged to her waist, and the white dress was the perfect perfection of her fresh temperament. These two people stand together, no matter how you look at it, it is a beautiful painting.

At a distance of less than ten meters, Ódora seemed to hear the girl ask Zhang Lei in an inquiry-like tone: "Do you want to eat something?" Zhang Lei pinched her cheek as if no one was around, smiled and said okay. In the eyes of the people next to them, this is a little couple as sweet as honey. But in Adora's eyes, this scene is really an eyesore. When did Zhang Lei speak to her in such a tone? Not to mention making such affectionate gestures to her on the street?

When they were together, if she was hungry or wanted to eat, she always said in a non-negotiable tone, "Let's eat something before we go." Sometimes Zhang Lei thinks that the things at the roadside stalls are not clean and doesn't want to eat, so she will immediately shout angrily: "No, you have to eat." "When the word "must" is used in love, a lot of feelings change.

When his feelings are always unscrupulous, Zhang Lei finally broke out one day. It was a week before they broke up, and he was sick with a cold, and the potions that had been hanging for days did not improve. If someone else's boyfriend is sick, as a girlfriend, not to mention the care before and after the bed, at least you will say that you want to take medicine and rest early. She was fine, and he had to accompany her shopping on a rainy night. He was shivering from the cold outside, and she was having fun trying it out at the fitting mirror.

That's when he asked himself, what do I really like about this girl? Yes, she is beautiful, energetic, and likable. But at the same time, she is freewheeling and domineering.

At the age of eighteen, he may not be able to interpret the word love well. Perhaps his so-called view of love is very different from adult love. But he knew that whether it was the love of an eighteen-year-old or the love of a twenty-eight-year-old, it must not be like this.

As soon as Zhang Lei finished speaking, he looked up and saw Odora standing not far away. Many years later, when he recalled the day, he still remembered Ódora's pale face. At that time, she was wearing a wide down jacket, and her thin body was hidden in it, leaving only a pair of eyes. He had said that he liked those eyes very much, but now there was no emotion in those eyes except sadness. Almost subconsciously, he let go of the hand on the shoulder of the girl next to him.

Chen Yi is such a smart person, she immediately sensed that something was wrong with Zhang Lei. Following her gaze, she successfully found the reason why Zhang Lei's expression suddenly changed. Like all TV dramas, she quietly tugged at Zhang Lei's sleeve and asked softly, "Who is she?" She knew that Zhang Lei didn't like girls to be jealous at every turn, and she didn't like girls to be suspicious, so she tried her best to make her tone sound natural and didn't care much, in fact, God knows that her heart is already like a tumbling flame, just add some firewood to the fire and burn the entire universe.

Yes, it's not the real her. In reality, she is particularly possessive. Within a radius of ten miles, she resolutely disagreed with the opposite sex approaching the boy she liked, and as for ten miles away, she would also increase her vigilance twelve times. She thinks that love is a matter of two people, and other people and things are superfluous.

Zhang Lei smiled insincerely: "It's nothing, I thought it was someone I knew, but it turned out to be a mistake." ”

Admit a mistake? Chen Yi smiled sarcastically in his heart, Zhang Lei, are you stupid for me? Do you think I'm so stupid that I don't even know if you've recognized the wrong person? Of course, Chen Yi is a smart person, so she didn't dwell on this issue, but quickly changed the topic: "Oh, then let's go eat." Let me tell you, her pancakes are very delicious, and my classmates and I used to queue up for an hour in the rain just to eat the pancakes here."

The latter words were not heard very clearly, because their figures quickly turned into the beef soup shop next to them. Le Xiaoxue looked at Odora, whose face was as white as a piece of paper, and wanted to say something several times but found that it was not appropriate to say anything. She originally thought that the boy just had no sense of responsibility, but now it seems that there is one more, too affectionate. Here, his ex-girlfriend is alone in the process of suffering the mistakes that both of them made at the same time. Over there, he and his new girlfriend were frolicking through the streets as if no one was around. Life, it's so ironic.

Adora's thoughts were still stuck in what Zhang Lei said: "It's nothing, I thought it was someone I knew, but it turned out to be a mistake." "When he fell in love, Ódora thought that the worst thing was when he introduced her to others, calling her a friend, a classmate, or a stranger whom he had only met once, but now she was not even a stranger.

Earlier, she heard her classmates talk about Zhang Lei's love history, saying that he is very diligent in changing girlfriends, and he rarely has been together for more than three months. She just doesn't believe in this evil, she wants to try the law, she thinks she can break that record. As a result, the record was broken, and she became the first person to be with Zhang Lei for more than three months. But before she had time to be happy, the pregnancy instantly broke the relationship between him and Zhang Lei.

Since then, Zhang Lei has stopped contacting her, and he deliberately avoids her in everything. After being silent for half a month, Ódora finally received a call from him, and he said a lot, but Ódora only remembered a few words: "The child must be killed. We are still students. My dad would have killed me if he had found out." From one second before the phone started to one second after he hung up, he didn't ask, "Are you okay?" ”

In short, the past is sad to recall. Odora smiled sarcastically at the air, then took out her phone card and folded it in half and threw it into the trash can next to her. In the end, I saw her leaning on Le Xiaoxue's shoulder tiredly, and said the first thing she said when she came out of the clinic: "Le Xiaoxue, this world is really ugly." ”
