Chapter 25: The Dilemma
Su Ran poked the rice in the bowl sadly, and glanced at the plate of chicken stewed mushrooms on the table from time to time.
Meng Yun looked funny, picked up a piece of chicken and put it in Su Ran's bowl: "Why don't you eat it?" ”
He is used to using his left hand, and he is not very skilled in using chopsticks in his right hand, but he can still use them.
"Lose weight."
Meng Yun raised his eyebrows: "No need to reduce, you are not fat." ”
Su Ran looked "You're right, I think so too", and immediately gave up his weight loss plan very spinelessly, and decided to take it easy for a while.
When my mother comes back and I am hungry for two days, I can always achieve the effect.
"Why did you suddenly want to lose weight?"
Meng Yun remembered that Su Ran had never cared about this, she would only pull herself from the south of the city to the north of the city in the past, and she also said in a particularly righteous way that there is no weight loss in the world of foodies, only food, she will never give in, why does she care now?
Every time he saw her feasting, he felt happy, not only did he not stop it, but he also secretly thought: It's okay to eat fat, but she can't run away if she eats fat. It's a pity that they broke up before that day.
"My mom told me to lose it." Su Ran said nonchalantly, and after speaking, he realized that it was not good.
She hurriedly raised her head, and sure enough, she saw Meng Yun's face change suddenly.
Su Ran just wanted to explain that she didn't mention it on purpose, but swallowed it back the moment she spoke.
What does it make if it's intentional or not? She explained that it would make the scene worse than it was now.
With her unintentional words, she re-uncovered the old stories they had deliberately avoided in the past few days.
It turns out that they are trying their best to deceive themselves, pretending that they are the same as before. But in fact, no one has forgotten what happened, those old wounds, even if they have been scabbed, still hurt faintly when they are opened.
She was eating, eating, and suddenly lost her appetite.
There was a long silence between them, and as they had done the other day, everything was back to square one.
Meng Yun has always felt that Su Ran's craftsmanship is very good, and the dishes she makes have always been delicious.
But today, with such a delicious dish, Meng Yun felt bitter in his mouth: why were they trapped in such a dilemma - it would hurt if they got closer, and they would think and look forward to getting closer when they looked at it from afar.
Su Ran became more and more restless, and couldn't wait to leave after eating.
Meng Yun stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, quietly watching Su Ran's figure downstairs gradually disappear from his sight.
After three years, we are reunited after a long absence. It seems that after he came back this time, every time he met Su Ran, what she left him with in the end was his back. And he was powerless to stop it, so he could only watch quietly.
They have all changed, they have learned to greet politely, they have learned to hide their true emotions. Maybe it's because they're powerless to stop a fate that they can only passively accept, maybe it's because of time, maybe it's just because they're not there for each other.
What can we do to make up for these missed three years?
In fact, he secretly came back to see her, to see the difficult steps of her just succeeded, to get drunk and vomit for a contract, and to watch her cry on the side of the road for a night.
He didn't even qualify to be by her side, because he had brought her all these hardships.
If it weren't for him, she wouldn't have lived so hard, she was originally an optimistic and cheerful girl, even if she was not valued by her father, but she had a mother and grandfather who loved her.
Maybe she will marry someone she likes, and the two of them will live an ordinary life. She's always been smart and knows how to make her life better.
He didn't want to let go, but if his insistence only made her miserable, what was the point of such persistence?
