Chapter 26 (1/2)

Chapter 26: Their Life.

It was my middle school friend’s wedding. I saw a bunch of old cla.s.smates that I almost didn’t remember any more. That day, I brought Wei Yu along (he went to a different middle school). Just as we sat down in the restaurant, someone walked over to greet me, “Are you Gu Qing Xi? I was saying how familiar you looked. I heard you got married?” Xu Wei Yu was beside me, “She got married to me!”

That cla.s.smate laughed: “A fine couple, a fine couple.” And then, they asked us, “How about going sitting over there, all us old cla.s.smates are there.”

Wei Yu: “But I’m not close any more ah.” I couldn’t help but be sarcastic inside, you were never close before okay?

That cla.s.smate said: “Doesn’t matter, we’ll become close after eating a meal, let’s go go go.”

Thus, we changed tables. There was a guy who I remember was very skinny in middle school but was now round, a girl who back in the year was very small who was now tall……I couldn’t help but be a bit awkward, everyone has changed. Who knows how they see me in their eyes.

Watching them made me realise how fast ten years flew by.

After my middle school cla.s.smate’s wedding, it was Wei Yu’s high school cla.s.smate’s wedding. I said that we probably shouldn’t go. That person moved provinces for work and has now settled down there. Going out of the state just for a meal was too much ha.s.sle but Wei Yu said “There are some brothers who are also going over, we’ll carpool. Plus, it’s the weekend so think of it as going for province, Let’s go, let’s go have fun.”

However, the day before we went, that brother injured his hand so I drove. Xu Wei Yu’s speeding ticket had just been settled a while ago but if he got any more points deducted, his license would be revoked so I didn’t dare let him drive on highways. On the drive back, it was originally planned that I would take turns driving with that brother’s wife. However, that girl got too happy and had too much to drink. Hence, I drove back.

Fun? I nearly died of exhaustion that day.

After we got back, I soaked my feet in hot water. Wei Yu came over to wash my feet and said, “Wife, I’m sorry, let me rub your feet.”

I was extremely ticklish, as soon as he touched, my whole body was shaking. I begged him in laughter, “Please, let me go.” And then I wiped my feet with a towel and went to bed.

He went to pour out the water and then came back and said: “I’ll help ma.s.sage your waist?”

I was scared of him, “Go play yourself, I’m going to bed.”

I woke up after sleeping for a while to discover that the person beside me was ma.s.saging my legs, they really felt so much more comfortable.

I said: “You should also go to sleep.”

“It’s still early.”

“Then stop ma.s.saging.”

“I’m not tired.”

“Then I’m going to sleep.”

“Sleep.”

My desk mate from high school gave birth to a girl so in the weekend, I went with Xu Wei Yu to visit.

Wei Yu looked at the baby for ages and asked, “How come she doesn’t look like anyone?”

I dragged him away, “She’s was just born, you can’t tell yet.”

Later, my good friend lay on the bed chatting with me which Xu Wei Yu chatted on the side with the baby’s dad.

The baby’s dad asked: “When are you two going to have a baby?”

Wei Yu: “We don’t want any currently.”

The baby’s dad: “What, it’s not early any more right? You can start considering it now.”

Wei Yu: “Sigh, I feel like a child will become the barrier to……you know……that night life.”

Can this person see what occasion it is?!

During International Woman’s Day, the supermarket’s sanitary pad section was completely packed full. Of course, ninety nine percent were all female but occasionally, there would be a guy squeezed in there to help his lover grab some.

Seeing this from a distance, I decided to give up but my friend refused and shouted, “Seeing how I get it for two weeks at a time, let me go try!” And then she rushed in.

After a long time, she came out, “So hot.”

I saw that her basket was half full with sanitary pads and laughed, “You probably have enough to last half a year.”

My friend laughed, “I’ll give you half. Let’s go, let’s get some fruit and veges and then go back. It’s so unwise to come out today.”

Me: “Xu Wei Yu wants me to help him get some mouth rinse.”

Friend: “He can’t be so lazy that he doesn’t even want to brush his teeth right?”

Me: “He wants to rinse his mouth after eating at work.”

Friend: “I say, you coddle him too much.”

I didn’t understand, “What does a bottle of mouth rinse have with coddling him?”

Friend: “You’re being so attentive. But honestly though, in that period when he chased you in high school, I really didn’t think it would work out.”

I was surprised, this was the first time this friend told me about it, “Why?”

Friend: “When he stood outside the door of our cla.s.sroom, calling you out to eat, you said that us cla.s.smates were going to eat together. He called everyone out just so that you would come along to sing but you said that you couldn’t sing. He asked if you wanted to study together in the weekend but you said that you were used to studying at home. He brought you breakfast but you said that you’ve already eaten……That time, I really thought that he’d throw his hands up and ignore you forever. Truthfully speaking, if I was Xu Wei Yu and you were being this frustrating, I would definitely ignore you.”
