Room 1201.
The faint projection light enveloped the living room like a veil.
On the large projection screen, the movie images flicker and jump, and the realistic visual effects create an immersive atmosphere like a movie theater.
Hua Meimei was like a lazy kitten, sitting comfortably on the carpet beside the sofa, with her back gently leaning against the edge of the sofa.
He kept putting snacks into his mouth, his eyes fixed on the screen, deeply attracted by the plot of the movie.
Fei Chenfeng had a doting smile on his face and, following her example, sat down on the carpet next to her.
The two figures overlapped in the dim light, warm and peaceful.
The movie Fei Chenfeng showed was "A Little Thing Called First Love".
When the hero and heroine on the screen looked at each other shyly under the mottled shadows of the trees on campus, their eyes full of ignorance and admiration, Hua Meimei couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Fei Chenfeng asked: "What's wrong?"
This picture is not funny.
She tilted her head and looked at Fei Chenfeng, her eyes sparkling. "This scene really reminds me of when I had a crush on you in junior high school. Back then, I kept looking at you secretly, but I would blush as soon as I spoke to you and would run away after just a few words. Do you remember?"
Fei Chenfeng smiled helplessly: "Of course I remember. I thought you would blush whenever you talked to anyone. At that time, you were more introverted and quiet."
It was not until someone later spread the news that she had a crush on him that he realized: Oh, it turns out that she blushed so easily because she liked him.
Hua Meimei snorted softly. "It's all that loudmouth's fault. I was trying to keep my feelings to myself, but suddenly the whole school knew about it. I was so embarrassed I even wanted to transfer schools. Are you troubled by this too?"
Fei Chenfeng put down the bag of potato chips in his hand, looked into her eyes seriously and said, "Why would it bother you? After knowing your feelings, I couldn't sleep for several nights. Seeing those girls always laughing at you, I was very worried about you."
"Are you still suffering from insomnia?" Hua Meimei laughed dumbly. When she talked about the past, she didn't feel sad at all.
I just felt relieved.
"Yes." He stared at her with unexpected deepness, "Because..."
Because the person I have a crush on also has a crush on me.
The words came to my lips but I couldn't say them.
Because it suddenly occurred to him that she was married.
There was an inexplicable sense of loss spreading in my heart.
"Meimei, if I had reunited with you earlier, would you not have married Luo Jiuyu?" Fei Chenfeng's eyes were full of regret.
Hua Meimei felt a pang of bitterness in her heart when she saw him like this.
He was the boy the original owner truly loved when she was young.
Unfortunately, the original owner never knew until her death that the boy who stood up for her and defended her dignity would one day return to Tiancheng.
One day I will meet her again.
If Fei Chenfeng had appeared earlier, perhaps Hua Meimei would not have married Luo Jiuyu.
Or maybe it would be nice if he reunited with her after she married Luo Jiuyu, then maybe the original owner wouldn't have committed suicide.
When you meet the person you liked back then, you may have a little hope for life.
Unfortunately, fate plays tricks on us.
The Hua Meimei of today is not the same Hua Meimei of the past. Even her soul is no longer that of the original owner. Her temperament and thoughts have changed.
She reached out her hand, gently patted Fei Chenfeng's shoulder, and comforted him: "Maybe this is fate. We all made different choices on the road of life, and now we can only move forward on our own."
"Meimei, no matter what, I'm still happy to see that you're doing well now." Fei Chenfeng didn't want to make the atmosphere too heavy, so he smiled slightly and changed the subject, "Would you like some water? I'll pour it for you."
"No more." She shook her head and drank the drink. She was no longer thirsty.
Fei Chenfeng thought for a moment and then asked, "You said Luo Jiuyu was your creditor. How much do you owe him?"
"Ten million."
Hua Meimei held a bag of dried yellow peaches from Milk Peach and ate them slowly. They tasted good.
Hearing such a large number, Fei Chenfeng was really surprised. "How could he owe so much?"
"Because the company is going bankrupt, the capital chain is broken, and we need money urgently."
Time has passed, and the most difficult period has passed. When Hua Meimei mentioned it again, she felt quite calm and relaxed.
Fei Chenfeng frowned, his eyes full of worry for her: "Then how long will it take for you to pay off your debt now?"
Hua Meimei shrugged and said nonchalantly, "It's still early, but he didn't rush me to pay it back, and he doesn't want interest. I will try to pay it back as soon as possible."
"This is too hard, Meimei." Fei Chenfeng looked at her distressedly, "I have some spare money here. I'll lend it to you first, and then you can collect some money and pay it back to him, right?"
There are actually people competing to be her creditor?
She remembered him saying he bought the house with a loan.
How can he still have money?
Hua Meimei smiled and shook her head: "This is my own business, I will solve it. Besides, although Luo Jiuyu is a creditor, he didn't push me too hard."
The movie scenes kept changing on the screen, but neither of them had the heart to continue watching.
Hua Meimei put down the bag of snacks in her hand, stretched, and suddenly said: "Actually, sometimes when I think about it, marrying Luo Jiuyu is not entirely a bad thing. When I was in the most difficult time, he helped me, although his method was a little unusual."
Fei Chenfeng was silent for a moment, then said softly, "As long as you feel good about it. But I still can't help but think, how great it would have been if I had been by your side back then."
The sound behind him became fainter and fainter, and the movie just reached a part where music started to play, drowning out his voice.
After a while, the music ended and the characters' normal conversations resumed. Hua Meimei suddenly asked, "What did you just say?"
"Nothing." Fei Chenfeng smiled bitterly, "If you need it in the future, feel free to borrow money from me."
"Hey, I'm confused. Didn't you say you bought the house with a loan? You still owe the loan, so where would you get the money to lend me?"
"I bought this house entirely with my own money, without using my parents' money. But I just graduated and my ability was limited when I was in school. The money I earned could not come up with the full payment for the house..." he explained.
"Tsk tsk, top students are really amazing." Hua Meimei admired him sincerely for earning enough money for the down payment of this house at such a young age.
But she still can't even come up with the down payment.
"If your company encounters difficulties again, feel free to ask me to borrow money. I can ask my parents for help," he said.
His parents had a large overseas business, specializing in the medical field. Even the Shenghuai Hospital in Tiancheng was owned by his parents.
He had originally wanted to return to Tiancheng to work, but his parents disagreed. They argued for a long time, but finally, seeing that he was determined to leave, his parents agreed to let him return to Tiancheng, but on the condition that he could only work at Shenghuai Hospital.
He originally wanted to work in a public hospital, but in order to return to Tiancheng smoothly, he had to agree.
"Let's talk about it later. I'll try my best not to trouble you." Hua Meimei smiled and patted his shoulder.
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Fei Chenfeng got up to open the door, and Li Xiang was standing at the door with a smile on her face.
"Hello, I'm looking for Berry."
