Chapter 26
Perhaps, he and she have no results in themselves.

She met him in the third year of high school.He was a transfer student who just arrived, and when he arrived in her class, he became her best friend's deskmate.

My best friend is cold-tempered and doesn't like to talk to people.So much so that he ignored the deskmate who just arrived—him.He looked embarrassed at the cold look of his new deskmate, but luckily she spoke up in time.

"That... my girlfriend, she's rather indifferent, I'm sorry..." She smiled apologetically.

He patted his head, "It's okay..."

In this somewhat awkward chat, she and him were considered acquainted.

I don't know if it's because she has a lively temperament and can get along with anyone; or because she is afraid that her girlfriend's cold temper will offend her new tablemate, so she often asks him to hang out with her.

Throughout the whole year of high school, the two of them spent more time together than she did with her best friend.

After graduating from high school, she chose to study finance, packed her bags, and went to university alone.

She thought that it might be many years later when she saw this boy who had been with her crazy for a year again.But she didn't want to see him at the gate of the university.

"Hey... why are you here?" She was full of surprise.

He shook his head thinking he was very handsome, "You haven't seen me fill out the application for the college entrance examination. I applied to this university...Why, can't I come here?"

"All right..." Smiling, the two walked into the campus slowly...

After entering the campus, the two went to find their classroom.After walking for a while, I found that the two had been on the same road. After asking each other, I found out that the two happened to be in the same classroom.

He half-jokingly said, "If it's so predestined, wouldn't we still be at the same table? If that's the case, maybe...we will be together in the future..."

"How is it possible... Even if we are destined to be together, it is definitely a proper 'bad relationship'." She retorted earnestly, not letting him take advantage of her verbally.

"Okay, let's not talk..." He stuck out his tongue.

At the door of the classroom, she squeezed into the crowd to look at the seating chart.After searching for a long time, he found his name.He glanced at his deskmate again, his name was impressively written on it.

"Damn!" She couldn't help but yelled, looking at the people around her, they all looked at her with weird eyes, she said, "I'm sorry", and then silently exited the crowd.

Squeezing out of the crowd, he slapped him hard on the shoulder, "What kind of mouth are you...I want to meet a new deskmate!"

He showed a cynical smile, "Look, God will prove that we are destined."

"Hehe... I don't believe it!"

Later, he was right, and the two of them were indeed together; but she was also right, maybe they were a "bad relationship", destined to have nothing to do.

I can't remember how they got together.I just remember that at that time, they were still at the same table when they were in their junior year.

Maybe it's because they are often crazy together; maybe it's because they know each other's preferences too well; or maybe they're used to each other's existence...

When the relationship was first established, the relationship between them was very good.That way of getting along may be the most unforgettable moment in their life.

In life, they understand each other and take care of each other; in study, they complement each other.Occasionally she is a little willful, and he will pamper her; occasionally he will have his machismo, and she will also support her...

On the first Qixi Festival together, both of them racked their brains to create surprises for each other.

On that day, he rolled up his sleeves, learned to make chocolate seriously, and bought roses on purpose; she also ran to learn to make chocolate, and learned his favorite, but she was not willing to eat chocolate mousse.

It was a tacit understanding. Apart from sending each other a message that day, none of them went to anyone else, and they were all at ease preparing their own surprises.

She usually also cooks, so she learns faster; as for him, people who have never been in the kitchen will naturally fail much more often.

That night, she did everything and prepared the meals.And after many failures, he also made delicious chocolate.Almost at the same time, the other party's mobile phone received a message and rang at the same time...

That night, they both felt a kind of joy they had never had before for the surprise brought by each other.

Once she had dysmenorrhea, and she was in so much pain in the dormitory.She didn't tell him, for fear that he would worry.But she may have forgotten that he is her deskmate and she didn't go to school, how could he not know?
When the morning reading class found out that she hadn't come, he started to worry.After absent-mindedly passing the morning reading, he immediately ran to inquire about her like her roommate.

Knowing that she had her period, the pain was unbearable, and he was not in the mood to go to class again.He made up some random reason, and asked for leave to go back to the dormitory.

When he arrived at the dormitory, he hurriedly called his sister and asked what to do about dysmenorrhea?After getting the answer from his sister, he sneaked out of the school gate.

He bought a warm baby to warm her belly; he bought red dates and longan brown sugar water for her to drink; he also bought instant brown sugar ginger tea so that she could drink it every month in the future...

In addition, for the first time, he blushed and ran to buy her sanitary napkins.These are all things he has never done.

Back at school, quickly take the things to her roommate and ask him to bring them to her.In fact, if possible, he would like to send it in person, but boys are not allowed in the female dormitory.

He called her to ask her about the situation, she answered much better, and he was relieved a little.But he gave her a lot of instructions, and stopped amidst her teasing laughter.

After talking for a while, he hung up reluctantly, and then went to class with peace of mind.And her heart, because of his caring tone, and the things he just received from his roommate, is very warm in her heart at this moment.

And this incident undoubtedly brought their relationship closer.

After graduating from college, they moved in together.They also found the jobs they wanted and started a new life.

However, their relationship began to have problems...

With her excellent learning ability and work ability, she took the position of a department manager within two years.And although he worked hard, he was only a small team leader.

The gap between them seems to be widening.But she never cared about the gap, she only wanted to treat him well, no matter how busy she was at work, she would find time to have a meal with him every day.

But he cared a lot, because his self-esteem didn't allow it, he was worse than her!So he was more busy with work, but started to neglect her...

Knowing his character well, she didn't blame him. Instead, she would guide and help him at work for her neglect.She felt that it was a good thing for him to work hard, and she should support him.

But slowly, he seemed to start to break her heart...

On her birthday, he said he wanted to accompany her.But she waited until twelve o'clock and called to ask, but he said he still had to work!On the fourth anniversary of falling in love, she agreed to go out to play, but she waited for a long time, but he said he still had to work!She had dysmenorrhea again, and he only said to drink more hot water, he was busy with work...

The first time she said that she was busy with work, she was disappointed, but she supported it; the second time she said that she was busy with work, she was sad, but she understood; the third time she said that she was busy with work, she still chose to understand...

But the discomfort in my heart will explode one day.

He was busy with work again and again, and treated her coldly, which finally made her break out.

"Can't you find a time to spend time with me?" She stopped him who was about to go out, and there was a hint of anger in her words.

He paused and turned around, "If I stay with you all the time, what will happen when we get married in the future? Do I have to rely on you for support? Can you be more rational?"

"I'm irrational? You can work, and I will support you if you work hard, but you are so indifferent to me, aren't you afraid that I will be sad?" She asked.

"Are you sad, so I don't have to work? How will I live without a job? You stop making trouble for no reason, I'm leaving." Turning around, he opened the door neatly, and he left.

From then on, the contradictions between them became more and more serious.The quarrels between them, time and time again, are countless.

In the end, he changed his mind first.The long-term quarrel made him have a deep opinion of her, and he felt that she should be nice to him, and she should support him with all her strength...

He carried her behind his back and found a woman who admired him...

After learning the truth again, she almost collapsed.After crying all night, she picked up her phone and sent him a message saying, let's break up...

Maybe, because he felt a little sorry for her in his heart, he agreed.But I made a request, and hope that in the future, we can still be friends.She agreed.

She applied for a transfer and went to a branch in another province or city.On the day before leaving, he came to see her off.She stepped forward and hugged him, then turned and left.The moment she turned around, tears welled up... She knew that she had lost in this love, since she agreed to break up and was still friends with him, she had lost...

How can someone be willing to be friends after the love is over, unless he really doesn't care about you... But what if she still cares about him?
Not long after arriving in a strange city, she found out that she was pregnant.She wanted to kill him at first, but she still couldn't let him go.And after thinking about that, she seemed to feel the beating from the child.

Eventually, she gave birth to a child, a girl.It looks a lot like her, very cute.On the contrary, there is nothing like him except the nose.

In a blink of an eye, it has been six years.In the past six years, he would occasionally send messages to her, and she would reply him with a word or two.She knew that she might not be able to let him go in this life.

However, now she can face it calmly, all her focus is on her daughter.

That night, he suddenly sent her a WeChat message, saying that he wanted to hug her.She hesitated for a while, sent a hugging emoji, and responded to him jokingly, maybe she was dumped.

In the next second, he immediately answered yes.But she was silent when she saw the news.He said he was stupid, so stupid that he couldn't even tell the people around him.She didn't ask the reason, but just comforted him a few words.

A few months later, they had a ridiculous encounter...

At that time, she was tired of playing in the park with her children and was planning to go home.But when I turned around, I saw him.

"This...is your child?" He asked, and then he squatted down and looked at the child. Seeing the child's nose that resembled his own, he felt a little excited, "Baby, how old are you this year?"

"I am five and a half years old." The childish voice sounded.

She wanted to falsely report the child's age, but she didn't want to be told by the child immediately, and she felt a little helpless.

And he was instantly excited, looking at her, "This child, is it you and me..."

"No!" She interrupted immediately, "She is my wife's daughter."

He frowned, as if he didn't believe it at all, "How could you fall in love with a girl?"

The next moment, a woman appeared in front of the park path, and she said to the child, "Go and call your mother." The child responded and ran over.

After a while, the child came with the woman.The woman hugged her unceremoniously, "Daughter-in-law, who is he?"

She snuggled into the woman's arms sweetly, "Well... a friend I knew before."

But he still didn't believe it.But after careful observation, I found that the woman's eyebrows and eyes resembled a child's. What she said seemed to be true.

Seeing him like this, the woman kissed her twice on the cheek without saying a word, and he really believed it, and said goodbye in embarrassment.

On the way home, the child was between her and the woman, each holding a hand. The child asked her with some doubts, "Mom, why do you say that my aunt is my mother?"

"Because that uncle likes mother, your mother doesn't like him, so you reject that uncle like this, you know?" The woman was talking to the child seriously.

"I see, auntie." The child smiled sensiblely.

She looked at the woman with the kind of elder sister's love in her eyes, "It's a good thing you came to see us today, thank you, little sister."

"Okay, ma'am. Mom told us to go back to dinner!"

"Okay, let's go home and eat!"

He was right, it was impossible for her to fall in love with a woman.Everything was just a lie to deceive him.

She occasionally listens to songs, the song "We Were Not Together in the End" sung by Bai Xiaobai.A part of the lyrics in it, she thinks it is very suitable for her, she likes it very much:
Later we didn't come together,
Even if I still love you many years later,
I thought time could forget you,
But I still can't lie to myself...

In the end we didn't come together,
Although until now you have not married and I have not married,
It's a pity that love can never go back to the past,
love you again...
