She was just teasing him, but he became nervous as if he was facing a great enemy.
"You are so good-looking and outstanding, how come you don't have a girlfriend?" She was a little unconvinced.
He raised his eyes and stared at her for a moment, "Studying is too hard, I can't take care of it."
"That's true. Knowledge can change your destiny, but making money is more important," said Hua Meimei.
She was not afraid that Fei Chenfeng would laugh at her for being a money-grubber.
"What about you? Do you have a boyfriend?" There was a hint of uneasiness in his clear eyes.
"I..." Hua Meimei was choked by the spicy food and started coughing.
He hurriedly poured her a glass of warm water and said, "Slow down."
She lifted her neck and gulped down a glass of water in one breath. It was so spicy that it brought tears to her eyes.
"If it really doesn't work, let's change the pot, change to one that is not spicy." He didn't understand why she insisted on eating super spicy food.
She shook her head and smiled, "You don't understand. There are always some regrets in life that are worth paying a price to make up for."
Now that she has a second chance to live, she wants to do all the things she didn't do in her previous life.
He hadn't expected that eating hot pot would make her feel so deeply moved. "Meimei, how do you know I don't understand?"
Because he understood, he returned to Tiancheng to make up for his regrets.
He suddenly called her Meimei in a very intimate tone. She couldn't help but be startled.
"I'll toast you a glass of juice." Noticing that the atmosphere was a little subtle, she raised her drink glass.
The two cups clinked together and each drank from it.
"Let's just consider this a toast to our lost youth." She said with a carefree smile, "May we have a bright future and all our dreams come true."
The youth is gone, but the traces are left behind. There are always some inexplicable emotions that remain in the heart and will never go away.
He whispered, "Meimei, when you were fourteen, they ridiculed you and hurt you like that. Can you really let it go?"
The painful memories of the original owner are naturally not so easy to erase, but it is the past, so why trap yourself for the past?
Hua Meimei said: "If I keep living in resentment and sadness, I will be the only one who suffers. And those who have hurt me have no regrets at all and continue to live freely and carefree. Why shouldn't I let myself go?
Shouldn't I be the one who loves me the most? I must love myself, live happily every day, work hard, and let those rubbish see that I live a more dazzling life than them.
"Meimei..." He was shocked.
I didn't expect that the former self-deprecating and sensitive Hua Meimei could now make such open-minded remarks.
He was happy for her. "It's good that you're so optimistic."
"You stood up for me and spoke up for me, scolding those who laughed at me. I have always been grateful to you."
What she said was what the original owner was thinking before she died.
Zhang Zhenzhen said it for her, and she felt much more relieved.
"But you were humiliated and laughed at by your classmates because of me. I have always felt guilty. It's all because of me." Fei Chenfeng lowered his head slightly, his voice suppressed.
Why does the atmosphere become sadder the more we talk?
Hua Meimei poured him a glass of juice and said with a smile, "People should look forward. I am like this, and you should do the same. Fei Chenfeng, you are such a good boy. It's worth it that I liked you back then."
I never blamed you. We didn't do anything wrong, so why blame yourself? The ones who were wrong were those classmates who spread my secret everywhere and laughed at me! Maybe they have already forgotten about it and are now working as slaves in society.
Among the many things she said, Fei Chenfeng captured the most important point: I liked you back then.
It means that he is a thing of the past and now she doesn’t like him anymore…
Suddenly, he felt a little sad.
However, he really appreciated how straightforward Hua Meimei's personality had become.
"You're right. Then I'll toast you too. May our future be bright and our freedom prevail." Fei Chenfeng raised his drink to toast her.
She clinked glasses with him and said with emotion, "I really want to drink real wine with you. Let's drink some other time."
"Okay. It's a deal."
It was ten o'clock when she returned to Zhenlongtai.
The hotpot meal lasted more than two hours.
When she entered the room, she found Luo Jiuyu still sitting in the hanging chair. However, unlike when she left, he was looking at his phone instead of reading.
While she was bending down to take off her shoes, Luo Jiuyu looked up at her.
I left Baolang Restaurant before finishing my meal. I'm in a good mood after such a long time. Apparently, I've had a great time catching up with old classmates at a different restaurant.
"The Luo family is having a New Year's Day banquet tomorrow night. Do you want to go?"
When Hua Meimei was about to return to her room, Luo Jiuyu couldn't help but ask.
After he left the Luo family, he never went back to participate in any group activities of the Luo family.
He never even went back to the Luo family's door.
It was because they knew that he was unwilling to return to the Luo family that his grandparents came to his house today to visit and take a look at their grandson's wife.
"I'm not going." said Blossomberry.
My marriage to him was a secret marriage, and one devoid of genuine affection. We were going to get divorced sooner or later, so why would I go to my in-laws' party?
"Grandma invited you. It has nothing to do with me." He was just a messenger.
He could have chosen not to spread the news, but he couldn't help it.
As for the reason, I'm afraid it's not just because he's afraid of being held accountable by his grandmother.
I heard from grandma that all kinds of celebrities were invited to this banquet, including the Mu family.
Hua Meimei said, "Then explain to your grandma that I'm busy and thank her for her kindness."
In her eyes, his grandparents' reputation was not that important.
She was willing to cooperate with the show today simply because he lent her money to help her out of her urgent need.
