An Youhe hadn't seen Qi Lili for a long time, and she was very happy about Qi Lili's arrival, cooking several dishes after a long absence.
The food was served, and the bowls and chopsticks were divided into three portions.
"Lili, I wonder if these suit your taste?" An Youhe asked.
Qi Lili smiled, took a bite of the dish, and said, "Not bad."
"That's good." An Youhe smiled happily and looked at Ye Zhou, who was wolfing down his food next to Qi Lili.
"Ye Zhou, eat slowly, don't choke."
Qi Lili stopped talking and ate her food in silence.
An Youhe was immersed in the joy of having her friends and loved ones by her side, and her heart was filled with happiness.
It feels like now is the best time of the year.
"Ye Zhou, why are you eating so fast?" An Youhe asked, watching Ye Zhou put down his chopsticks and get up.
"I'm full, I'm going to lie down in bed for a while."
"Okay, sure."
Qi Lili finally couldn't take it anymore. She threw down her chopsticks and stood up angrily.
"An Youhe, what's wrong with you? Ye Zhou is dead!" Qi Lili shouted.
The girl looked bewildered. "Lili, what are you saying? Keep your voice down! Ye Zhou is sleeping in bed right now! He'll be upset if he hears you saying that."
A look of heartache flashed in Qi Lili's eyes. She walked over and grabbed An Youhe's shoulders, shaking her violently.
"An Youhe, are you stupid? I was the one who informed you that Ye Zhou had passed away! You even went to his funeral! Have you forgotten all that?"
An Youhe's eyes were unfocused, tinged with a hint of panic, but she still pretended to be calm. "Lili, what's wrong with you all of a sudden? Ye Zhou was just eating with you, and he's already finished his meal. Besides, weren't you chatting happily with him before?"
Qi Lili's eyes filled with tears. "Are you crazy?! You just ate two bowls of rice by yourself!"
Qi Lili pulled An Youhe to a dirty mirror. "Take a good look at the person in the mirror. Can you still recognize yourself?"
An Youhe hadn't looked in a mirror in a long time. She looked at the stranger in the mirror wearing an oversized short-sleeved shirt.
"That's just how you are, eating the amount of food for two people at once. You were the one eating next to me the whole time!"
Qi Lili sighed and told the truth.
She watched helplessly as An Youhe ate her meal quickly, talking to herself and putting on a show while talking to something that didn't exist.
She watched helplessly as An Youhe ate a bowl of rice, then sat down opposite her to eat another bowl.
An Youhe looked at herself in the mirror, and in an instant, she suddenly reached out and smashed the mirror, causing it to fall to the ground.
The lens shattered all over the floor.
Glass shards were embedded in her smooth feet, and bright red blood seeped from her fair skin.
An Youhe covered her chubby face and muttered to herself, "No, I can't let Ye Zhou see me like this. Ye Zhou won't like me."
Qi Lili took An Youhe's hand and led her to the bedside.
"Lili, don't disturb Ye Zhou, he's sleeping."
Ignoring An Youhe's attempts to stop her, Qi Lili lifted a thin quilt. In An Youhe's eyes, Qi Lili grabbed the shoulder of "Ye Zhou," and in an instant, the Ye Zhou with the vibrant body transformed into a white shirt.
The girl opened her eyes wide, slumped to the ground, and murmured absentmindedly, "Ye Zhou, Ye Zhou."
Qi Lili saw the medicine on the counter from the very beginning. While An Youhe was cooking, she carefully examined the medicine and the doctor's prescription.
Qi Lili squatted down and hugged the girl's shoulders: "Youhe, take your medicine properly. I won't go anywhere for the next few days. I'll stay here with you. Take your medicine properly, and everything will be alright."
I know you've always had a crush on this guy named Ye Zhou, but you haven't had much contact with him. You've been alone all these years, haven't you? It's the same now, and it will be the same in the future. Cheer up!
For the next few days, Qi Lili ate and lived with An Youhe. Every time it was mealtime, Qi Lili would watch An Youhe finish all the pills.
An Youhe's mind has cleared up considerably. She went out a few times and went to the supermarket with Qi Lili, and she seemed more like a normal person.
"Lili, where's that white shirt?"
“I burned it. It wasn’t yours to begin with. I burned it for Ye Zhou, returning it to its rightful owner.”
An Youhe simply lowered her head and remained silent.
“I saw a doctor a couple of days ago, and he said you’re feeling much better. I think I should arrange a blind date for you these next few days, so you can find a boyfriend. You’re not getting any younger, and having someone by your side will prevent you from feeling lonely.”
"I'm fine on my own."
"Listen to me, it's always better to have two people than one. I don't feel at ease leaving you alone."
...
Qi Lili had completely trusted An Youhe. She had spent two weeks with An Youhe, and it was time for her to leave.
Today, she planned to have An Youhe meet her blind date, who was also a friend of her husband Huo Guang. He was handsome, rich, and had a good lifestyle, with no messy relationships.
An Youhe had no choice but to follow Qi Lili's instructions and went into a coffee shop.
The moment An Youhe saw her blind date, she thought she saw Ye Zhou.
Sunlight streamed through the glass window onto the man's face as he looked at An Youhe.
An Youhe was stunned for a moment, but still managed to control her impulse.
The two sat down facing each other.
"Hello, my name is Huai'an."
"My name is An Youhe."
Qi Lili secretly observed from the side and found that the two were having a very pleasant conversation. Meanwhile, Huo Guang made countless phone calls to her, wanting to see his wife immediately.
Qi Lili felt helpless; she couldn't have a proper conversation with the two of them, so she simply left secretly.
