Chapter 24: Forced to smile, pretend to be happy
Yes, once upon a time, Lu Li's smile seemed to be a ray of sunshine shining into her heart.
And now, Lu Li's brother when he was young is long gone.
Sometimes, Su Hua really wants to go back to his childhood, that innocent age, that carefree youth.
With the bitter smell of coffee lingering on the tip of his nose, Su Hua's thoughts returned to reality, looking at Zhou Ying, who was sitting opposite, and slightly tugging the corners of his mouth.
"Su Hua, in three years, you have changed a lot." Zhou Ying sighed and handed over the coffee.
Su Hua's heart sank, and he didn't say anything, but took a sip of coffee, and the mellow taste of coffee instantly swept through the entire mouth, with an endless aftertaste between his lips and teeth.
Su Hua has always had a soft spot for coffee, perhaps because the taste of coffee is more like life, bitter and sweet.
"You used to laugh so much, but I haven't seen you smile happily for a long time." As Su Hua's best friend, Zhou Ying was moved.
It is true that since Su Hua and Lu Li got married, Su Hua has never had a happy smile.
"How can there be, after all, people will grow up, we have all grown up, and we are no longer ignorant children in the past." Su Hua forced out a smile, but it looked so far-fetched.
"Su Hua, don't hold on to me, I know that you and Lu Li are not happy together; I know that you love Lu Li very much, I knew this when Lu Li and Shen Mengyin were together, and I also knew that you secretly hid in the quilt and cried for this reason......" Zhou Ying let out a long sigh and kept recalling the past.
"That's all in the past......" Seeing Zhou Ying mention the past, Su Hua had a feeling of suddenly dreaming.
Yes, I think when I was in college, because the school was a little far away from home, Su Hua and Shen Mengyin both lived on campus, and Shen Mengyin also chose the same art major as her, and the three of them lived in the same dormitory.
At that time, when Lu Li came to find Shen Mengyin, the two of them went out on a date, Su Hua always looked calm, but he silently shed tears by himself.
"I've always wanted to say, is there something wrong with Lu Li's eyes, I don't like you, but I like Shen Mengyin." Zhou Ying has never figured out this matter, Su Hua and Shen Mengyin, compared with each other in all aspects, Su Hua is a complete victory, but the person Lu Li likes is Shen Mengyin.
"There is no reason to like someone...... Su Hua said with emotion, just like she loves Lu Li, there is no reason, just like it, it is love.
"It's too hard to like someone, I'd rather marry someone who loves me than love someone so hard, or even please ......" Zhou Ying thought about it and said in a deep voice.
Who hasn't been young and ignorant, who hasn't been young and frivolous, although Zhou Ying has always been a single dog in college, she still had a boyfriend after graduation, but because of her upright female personality, she broke up happily in the end.
Although she didn't really fall in love, the examples of Su Hua and Lu Li were vividly placed in front of her, and she was already afraid of the so-called love.
Also, if you pursue love and be with the person you like, you will lose yourself and lose your happiness, so you might as well be a single dog for the rest of your life.
"That's when you don't really fall in love with someone, and if you meet someone you really like, you won't think so, and you won't say that." Su Hua's heart tightened, if it was possible, she didn't want to love someone so hard, maybe she was a stupid woman, even if her heart was hurt, she never regretted falling in love with Lu Li.
Speaking of this stubble, Zhou Ying couldn't help but be a little shaken, and after being stunned for a few seconds, she came back to her senses and drank coffee, "Su Hua, don't you see that Xiao Junyan likes you?" ”
Hearing this, Su Hua's hand shook, and the coffee cup was not stable, and the coffee overflowed.
She wiped the coffee stains that spilled on the table with a paper towel, and replied with her eyes, "What are you kidding, I have always regarded Xiao Junyan as my own brother." ”
"I'm not kidding, you treat him as an older brother, but he likes you, even I can see it!" Zhou Ying remembered what happened in the hospital last time, and she saw Xiao Junyan's nervousness about Su Hua.
For some reason, when she said this, Zhou Ying's heart was faintly sour, this feeling was so strange, she had never felt it before.
"......" Su Hua didn't want to explain anything, just like the people of the Lu family were suspicious of the unclear relationship between her and Xiao Junyan, she has always believed in the pure and self-purifying, and if you don't believe in you, even if you say it, others won't believe it. And those who believe in you, even if you don't explain, will believe it.
"I know that you only have Lu Li in your heart, but, as your good friend, I have something to say, if you are with Lu Li, you will be hurt and suffer, then you might as well let go, choose the person who loves you, and start a new life." Zhou Ying thought about it, hesitated for a long time, and finally said this.
In fact, she hesitated for a long time about these words, and she never made up her mind whether to say them or not. After all, as the old saying goes, it is better to demolish a temple than a marriage. It's not good to ruin someone else's marriage.
However, in the past three years, Zhou Ying has verified Su Hua's unhappiness with her own eyes, how can she sit idly by.
She really hopes that Su Hua can really be happy, instead of forcing a smile and pretending to be happy.
Su Hua looked at Zhou Ying meaningfully, she knew that Zhou Ying's words were all for her good.
Counting, in the past few days, this is the third person to say something similar to her.
First Xiao Junyan, then her younger brother Su Qing, and now Zhou Ying, their thoughts are very consistent, hoping that she can give up this sick relationship and start a new life.
She knows the importance of choice, sometimes she thinks that three years ago, even with the order of her parents, she could choose to refuse the marriage with Lu Li, but she didn't want to let go of such an opportunity to be with Lu Li.
She knew that if she missed this opportunity, she would miss Lu Li in her life.
After Shen Mengyin left, she once confidently believed that she could warm Lu Li's heart with full love and make him fall in love with her as much as she loved him.
But it backfired, Lu Li's heart never let go of Shen Mengyin, turning a blind eye to her existence, or hating her existence, which is more appropriate.
That's why he hurt her so much.
"Thank you, Zhou Ying, I know that you are all for my good, and I will think about it." Su Hua subconsciously pulled the corners of her mouth, and did not veto Zhou Ying's suggestion, in fact, she wanted to tell Zhou Ying that now she could not leave Lu Li if she wanted to, she clearly remembered what Lu Li said to her.
'In this life, if I don't let go, you won't want to leave!' ’
Lu Li would let her go easily, and even if she was injured all over her body, she didn't want to leave this man.
Maybe it's really her who is cheap, deep in love, humble in love, and everything becomes worthless.
