Slightly tipsy and dizzy, Nicole finally finished her performance for the day. She walked into the bar where I was, carrying her guitar, and tapped the table on the table, saying to me, "You're really something else. I told you you don't deserve to buy me drinks, so why did you leave that 300 yuan on the bar?"
I suddenly got angry: "What makes you think you know me so well just because you listened to a few words of nonsense from others?"
Nicole was stunned.
I said in a very serious tone, "Whether you believe it or not, the person you're thinking of and the person I'm actually going to meet are not the same person at all... I invited you for drinks without any ill intentions, so why are you 'accusing' me of something because of a misunderstanding?"
Nicole looked at me, even more bewildered.
I swallowed a mouthful of beer, wishing I could pour out all the grievances and helplessness in my heart and show them to Nicole, this stranger.
But I didn't do that. I tried to calm myself down, closed my eyes tightly, and said to Nicole in an apologetic tone, "I'm sorry, I got a little emotional, but things really aren't what you see... Yes, I'm not carefree when it comes to relationships, but I've always had a sense of respect... The young man you met that day was named Cao Xiaobei, the girl he liked was named Yang Sisi, and the one in the hospital was named Ye Zhi. Apart from being from Shanghai, they didn't have anything in common... But even so, you all misunderstood me, and none of you listened to my explanation. Tell me, am I wronged or not!"
Nicole was skeptical: "Really?"
"real……"
Nicole thought for a moment and then asked, "Do you have photos of them? Without seeing their faces, it's really hard for me to tell them apart."
I took out my phone, first found a photo in Yang Sisi's WeChat Moments to show her, and then found a photo of Ye Zhi.
Nicole finally smiled and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the one who looks younger should be Yang Sisi, and the other one... to be honest, I've never seen a woman with such a good temperament... uh, it feels a bit unreal. Did you edit this photo?"
I explained, "She hasn't had any cosmetic procedures done; she's a bit mixed-race... As for her good looks... it's probably because she's always held a high position in the workplace... She's just as good-looking in person as she is in the photos."
Nicole went back to look at Yang Sisi's photos and exclaimed, "This girl is pretty good too. She looks very energetic... She gives off a very approachable vibe, like a beautiful girl next door."
"Yes, they are all friends I met on my way to Dali... Later, they all returned to Shanghai, which is why you caused this misunderstanding."
Nicole looked at the two photos over and over again, then asked, "Seriously, are all the women you know this caliber?"
"Of course not... I'm surrounded by ordinary women. If you want to see photos, I can find hundreds of them on my WeChat Moments."
"Haha, no need... I'm just curious... For example, if we're considered friends, I'm just one of the ordinary people in your circle of friends."
