This is a western restaurant in the heart of the city, next to the bustling Jiuyi Avenue, with rows of high-rise buildings lining both sides of the avenue. Commercial center, bar street, here has everything, live up to the prosperity.

Lin Ming and Li Sisi came to the Golden Bull Horn Western Restaurant located on the twelfth floor of a commercial building on Jiuyi Avenue.

The street next to here is Xizhong Road.

Li Sisi's family background is actually quite good, at least it is also a middle-class family. Otherwise, in 2002, very few students could afford to spend a few hundred yuan to buy expensive cigarettes for a teenager they liked for a month.

But when she saw Lin Ming inviting her to eat here, she still pulled the corner of his clothes, shook her head and said, "Forget it, it's very expensive here, I don't like to eat Western food." ”

This is a very smart woman, she is afraid that Lin Ming will save face, so she must invite her to eat expensive things.

In later generations, such a diligent and thrifty girl is rare.

Lin Ming smiled and said, it's okay. He actually knew that Li Sisi was not a picky eater, because she was his first love, and he knew a little bit about her personality and preferences. To tell the truth, if Lin Ming is asked to choose one of Li Sisi and Su Wenqi. Lin Ming would not hesitate to choose Li Sisi.

Because this has nothing to do with anything else, only talking about being suitable for being a wife, Li Sisi is definitely more qualified than Su Wenqi. Even if Su Wenqi's family background is very good, he is more beautiful than Li Sisi. But it's like an unreachable dream goddess, a childhood sweetheart.

Just like Charlotte's troubles, Charlotte will only understand what she wants when she has experienced pain and understands the truth in her heart.

What's more, Lin Ming has never liked those unreachable dream goddesses, and Lin Ming's childhood sweetheart is not Li Sisi. So he cherishes this relationship with Enron even more and doesn't want to be destroyed by anyone.

Lin Ming found a location near the window, where he could see the endless Yunhe River in the distance, and the plain of the flat river on the other side of the river.

The waiter came over, and Lin Ming ordered two steaks and one after-dinner snack.

A meal here will cost you at least a few hundred yuan.

In fact, he also understands that Li Sisi's feelings for him are far from being something that can be dissipated by a meal. But living in this world, people always need to keep trying to know if they can do it. Lin Ming also understood that he still had to tell Li Sisi and tell this girl that she was a good girl, but he was not suitable for her. Some people think that it is very difficult to reject a girl, and Lin Ming once thought that this was the case. Because it means that you will not only hurt a girl's self-esteem, but also hurt a girl's only courage to pursue love. We always grow up in subtlety, but we don't understand how precious this courage is.

But Lin Ming had to do this, because it was the same reason that countless girls would reject the confessions of countless boys. In turn, Lin Ming will also tell Li Sisi that love is not just as simple as you like me, but also whether the relationship between the two has really reached that point.

The steak was quickly served, and Li Sisi fidgeted with some anticipation, she thought that Lin Ming had actually seen the love letter, and planned to come over today to accept her love. But she wouldn't want to know the real reason.

Because if she knew the ending, then she would be disappointed. This fate, which she thinks has been arranged in her previous life, is destined to have no results in this life.

Lin Ming didn't speak, and the atmosphere gradually became weird, and in the restaurant, only the sound of other guests talking.

It took a minute, two minutes, five minutes.

Time passes slowly.

Li Sisi cut the steak very elegantly, and the two of them looked at each other speechlessly, like a boring pantomime. But after all, she didn't know what Lin Ming was thinking, and seeing that Lin Ming didn't move for a long time, she took the lead in breaking the silence a little strangely: "You invited me to dinner today, just to thank me for lending you a book to read?" ”

Lin Ming hesitated for a moment, but still said, "No." There are some things I want to tell you. ”

Li Sisi looked at him with a pair of big watery eyes, stopped the movement in his hand, and quietly waited for Lin Ming's next words. She saw that Lin Ming's eyes had a melancholy temperament, as if she was thinking about how to say something, that serious look was very good-looking.

Some people say that youth is the taste of first love. Youth without first love is incomplete youth.

But when Lin Ming was reborn, he realized that the meaning of youth has never been the so-called love. It's about whether you have worked hard, whether it's studying, working hard or confessing to the girl you love, you don't care about the result, you just care about whether you have done it. The muddy youth is wasting such a good time of youth.

Mr. Liang Qichao said that if the youth is strong, the country will be strong, and if the youth is weak, the country will be weak. Lin Ming never thought that he would be able to contribute much to the country one day in the future, but after being reborn, he just wanted to let his youth have no regrets and let the people around him have no regrets.

But regret itself is an indispensable thing in life, and explain to the girl who likes you that you don't like her. It may be a little cruel, but that's how cruel life is.

Lin Ming pondered his sentence and said slowly: "Sisi, I actually know your mind. ”

"Ahh ~”

At this moment, a piercing scream suddenly broke the silence of the western restaurant.

The diners in the restaurant got up and looked around at the source of the screams. After a while, I saw the direction of the staff office of the western restaurant, and a waiter hurriedly ran out and shouted: "Call an ambulance, the boss fainted." ”

Many people looked at each other, the front desk of the restaurant who was working hurriedly called an ambulance, and many employees hurriedly ran to the office, intending to check on the boss, and there were still a few customers inside.

A restaurant manager comforted the customer: "Don't panic, everyone, our boss is usually not in good health, and there is a little problem, so there is no big problem." Please continue to eat. ”

After the restaurant manager finished speaking, he also hurried to the boss's office.

Waiting for the noise in the restaurant to be calmed down, Li Sisi looked back at Lin Ming again. Lin Ming saw that there was a woman diagonally opposite him who got up and went to the front desk to pay the bill, in fact, it was quite strange, if it was not a lover dating in a Western restaurant, or a parent with a child, or a girlfriend dinner, it was rare to see a woman alone in a Western restaurant to eat.

But this has nothing to do with him, he thought about it, and still planned to continue to tell him that he already had a girlfriend and that he didn't like Li Sisi. We are always dreaming of a beautiful love story, but life and reality will tell you that it is just a story, not a reality.

Lin Ming remembered the love of Liu He in the previous life.

Liu He had a very nice girl in his class at City No. 1 Middle School, and she sat in front of him. Sometimes when Liu He is in class, he will also be attracted by the fragrance of the girl's hair and immerse himself in the pungent aroma.

Later, Liu He fell in love with this girl, and one day in his sophomore year of high school, he decided to confess.

He bought a doll and ran to the girl's way home. secretly narrated to her his love for her.

Unfortunately, the girl accepted the gift and told him that she already had someone she liked.

Liu He once asked her, do you still have a chance? The girl told him no, because if you don't like it, you don't like it, there is no reason, there is no cause and effect.

In fact, Liu He knew that it was just because he was not good-looking.

The early love in this world is always at first sight, not love at first sight. Because boys are good-looking, girls like them. Because girls are good-looking, there will be countless suitors.

Therefore, youth only belongs to good-looking people, and the vast majority of people are living a sad campus life, hiding in other people's youth and shivering.

But Li Sisi definitely does not lack the excitement that belongs to her, so Lin Ming told her in line with the principle that long-term pain is better than short-term pain: "I plan to take the entrance examination for the first middle school before the school starts in September." I'm probably going to leave No. 4 Middle School, so we won't have a result. Thank you, you used to like me. ”

Yes.

Thank you for ever liking me.

In his last life, Li Sisi was his first love.

Even if they have only been together for more than two months, they have been ruthlessly dismantled by parents and teachers.

But this does not prevent her from being an inseparable wonderful memory of Lin Ming's previous life, and many people will never forget their first love, because it represents that simple era, a simple like. It's like Mozi weeps when he sees the white cloth put in the dye vat and dyed it colorfully.

At that time, it was innocent and beautiful, it was a beautiful memory when you suddenly cried and wet your pillow in the middle of the night, and woke up at a loss and didn't know why you cried.

Li Sisi was silent, and after a long time, he asked, "Then do you like me?" ”

Lin Ming wanted to tell her that he liked her, but he just liked her. Because this girl is indeed very likable, as a friend, as a lover, she is the most qualified one. Because she won't quarrel with you, and she won't play any little temper, she will only like you quietly.

But he didn't know how to say these words. Lin Ming has always been a boy who will not refuse, and he has always been a person who is afraid of hurting others. Sometimes, I would rather suffer a loss than hurt others, and it is also because of my nature.

But perhaps these words should indeed be said today and made a conclusion. is not only the quiet liking of Li Sisi in this life, but also an ending to the relationship between the two people in the previous life.

"I like it." He said that he saw Li Sisi's eyelashes trembling slightly, and knew that she might have some joy in her heart, but the next words, Lin Ming was a little unbearable to tell her. Because what he wants to say is that in fact, the liking for you is just the kind of liking of friends.

Lin Ming's mouth moved, and he still planned to tell her the truth after all.

But at this time.

There was a sudden commotion in the workshop of the restaurant, and many customers were very dissatisfied with the noise, and they got up to look over there again.

I saw that the staff of the western restaurant carried a person out in a panic and shouted: "Excuse me, our boss is dying, we must immediately carry it downstairs and wait for the ambulance to come." ”

The people in the aisle got out of the way, they carried them out, and soon the scene was quiet again.

Some customers couldn't stand the fact that this peaceful western restaurant suddenly became like a vegetable market, and they left the table to pay and leave. At dinner in the afternoon, the Golden Bull Horn in the city center, which should be full of customers, unexpectedly felt empty.

Because of this little episode, Lin Ming's words were still unspoken. He shook his head with a little cry and laughter, for girls, especially girls who like him, he still can't bear to hurt other people's hearts.

Maybe she should really wait until she was admitted to the No. 1 Middle School in the city and left the current school, so that she would understand that there is a distance between the two sides.
