Just like women

Wu Meilai was a little stunned. She stared at her face for a few seconds and thought about it. Then she answered honestly, "She looks familiar. Didn't you go home during the summer vacation? I heard that high school doesn't start until mid-September."

The girl was a little disappointed and said, "I'll be a sophomore in the second half of the year." Seeing that Wu Meilai was still confused, she pursed her lips and added, "When you sent your mother to the city before, you added me on WeChat. My name is He Xiao."

"Oh..." Wu Meilai suddenly realized that it was because she and another girl got off the bus to make room, so that she could take Liu Guiyan to the city to see a doctor in time.

"I was so grateful before, but you refused to accept the money I transferred to you later."

Wu Meilai is very familiar with the name "He Xiao". Every time she posts an update or likes a friend's post, these two words will appear.

"I haven't had the chance to thank you for what you did before. I'll treat you to whatever you want to eat. You can't refuse anymore." Wu Meilai said with a smile.

"Then I'll have a big bowl of mutton noodles, a fried egg, and braised tofu skewers," He Xiao said with a playful smile. Her baby face made her look like a junior high school student.

"good."

He Xiao is very talkative. By the time Wu Mei came to cook some noodles, she had already told her all her personal information.

Wu Mei came to get the noodles and seeing that there were no new customers, she sat opposite her and chatted with her.

"So you're here for tourism?"

He Xiao ate his noodles in small bites, glanced at her, and shook his head, "No, my cousin just finished the college entrance examination, and I came over to play with her."

"Is that so..." Wu Meilai agreed in a low voice without any doubt.

College entrance examination... The students that Zhou Qianling has always encouraged have now gone their separate ways.

Only then did she remember that she hadn't checked her Moments for a long time.

"elder sister?"

"Hmm?" Wu Mei came back to her senses and asked gently.

He Xiao was so cute that she always unconsciously treated him as a child of a younger generation.

He Xiao swallowed the food in his mouth, wiped his mouth with a tissue, and asked somewhat awkwardly, "I saw you posted something. Are you short of money now?"

Wu Meilai recalled that when she was choosing the store furnishings, she did mention: I will change to the more expensive one after I pay off my debts.

Wu Meilai nodded and said, "I borrowed some money when I first opened the shop, but fortunately the business is still okay."

"Oh." He Xiao looked at the green plants by the door, and a hint of unknown light flashed in his eyes.

"Would you like something to drink?" Wu Meilai stood up and walked to the freezer.

"Hmm..." He Xiao nodded his chin, pointed at a bottle of drink and said with a smile: "I want sour plum soup."

…

He Xiao is cute and speaks nicely. Even a quiet person like Wu Meilai quickly became familiar with her.

The girl was a talkative person, and she was the one who did most of the talking. Wu Mei would occasionally respond, but the atmosphere was quite harmonious. She stayed until her cousin came to see her in the evening, and then she reluctantly left.

There weren't many customers during the summer vacation, so Wu Mei came and closed the shop at 10 o'clock.

After cleaning the shop, she pushed open the iron door to the back kitchen. She entered a narrow entrance, barely wide enough for one person. To the right of the entrance was a movable partition, with doors about a meter in front of each. Behind the right door was her bedroom, and in front was the toilet, which had only a squat toilet.

Wu Mei came, closed the back kitchen door, turned on the light, went to the bathroom, got a bucket of water and brought it to the entrance, then stepped over the bucket and walked to the bedroom door, opened it, squeezed in, took out a nightgown and a face towel and returned.

The entrance was really narrow, so Wu Mei wiped her body after bumping into things, put on her nightgown, and flushed the entrance and toilet before going to bed to rest.

The bedroom is also narrow, only enough to fit a 1.5-meter bed, but it has a window and a light, so it has everything.

Wu Meilai reached out to turn off the light, and the moonlight outside the window shone on her.

There were no cicadas chirping tonight, it was unusually quiet. She had a sense of déjà vu, which made her feel melancholy for no reason.

Thinking about what happened during the day, Wu Mei opened WeChat and clicked on Zhou Qianling’s circle of friends after hesitating for a moment.

This sight made her feel like being pricked by a needle.

Zhou Qianling’s latest update was a week ago, which was a photo of her and a woman, located in a hot pot restaurant in Qianyang.

【After many years, I met my college classmates again】

In the photo, she is in front and the woman is on the other side of the dining table. She has long straight hair and wears glasses. She looks like an educated person.

Wu Meilai remembered that Zhou Qianling had said that she had someone she wanted to marry, and that person was also in Qianzhou.

Although there was no basis for this thought, she couldn't help but think: It must be this college classmate.

She came to Qianzhou for her.

Wu Meilai stepped out and looked out the window silently, feeling pain in her palms and chest.

Her eyelids felt dry, so she closed them.

The picture became clearer in my mind, so I opened my eyes again.

Fall asleep quickly, fall asleep quickly, she muttered to herself.

The more I want to fall asleep, the harder it is to fall asleep.

Wu Meilai reached down.

When she has insomnia, she likes to use this method to help her sleep.

She had become accustomed to recalling that moonlit night. The first scene she saw after closing her eyes was Zhou Qianling leaning on her, caressing her in the forbidden area while looking into her eyes.

There was always a gentle yet cunning smile on her lips.

She likes her own voice, her own expression...

Wu Meilai suddenly opened her eyes, withdrew her hand, stood up, took a basin of water, and poured it over her head.

We are clearly strangers and others have clearly forgotten about this, but why am I still obsessed with him/her like a stink bug?

Do I have to have her?

I don’t know if it was out of reluctance or if she was really thinking about Zhou Qianling, but Wu Mei came to forbid me from fantasizing about her anymore.

Her pajamas were soaked, so she took them off, fell on the bed with her wet hair disheveled, and stared at the window motionlessly.

She thought, it wasn't that she was not suitable for Zhou Qianling, nor did she like Zhou Qianling. She just liked women, and Zhou Qianling was her first woman, so she always remembered the feeling she gave her.

Any woman can make him happy, and Zhou Qianling is no special.

She chattered on and on, her eyelids gradually closing.

But since she had already arrived in Qianyang, why not take a few more steps and take a closer look? Wu Meilai thought so before falling asleep.

——

"Sister, didn't you come here specially to take me to register for university?"

He Xiao pulled his cousin's hand away and jumped onto the road, afraid that she would catch up with him. He said as he ran, "No rush, wait two more days."

The closer she got to the casserole noodle shop, the more nervous she became.

He Xiao has been a model student since she was young, respecting the elderly and loving the young, and being well-behaved and sensible. But her purpose for coming to Qianzhou this time is extremely ulterior.

That’s right, she came here just for Wu Mei.

The first time he saw her half a year ago, He Xiao felt that she was of the same kind as him and that she perfectly matched his ideal type.

She has a very feminine appearance and a gentle temperament. She looks very simple and easy to bully.

Restraining my nervousness, I pushed open the glass door.

There were already two or three customers inside. He Xiao did not order any food, but waited quietly for her to come out.

After a while, the sound of the bead curtain came from the back kitchen. She looked up and was stunned.

Wu Meilai was dressed warmly and wore a mask.

"What’s wrong with you?"

"I have a cold."

Through the mask, the voice sounded muffled and hoarse.

He Xiao said "a small bowl of mutton noodles", ran out of the store, went straight to the supermarket, and bought a bottle of honey and a pomelo.

When Wu Mei came to get the noodles, she saw her stirring the bowl with her chopsticks, pushing the bowl, and smiling at her, "I heard that honey grapefruit tea clears away heat and detoxifies."

Wu Meilai put down the powder and looked into her bowl. There were a bunch of grapefruit seeds scattered at the bottom of the bowl of tea.
