In those years, we were not together

Chapter 11
8. Han Meimei's Distress
After Lily left, Li Lei's heart could not be calm for a long time.All along, he only regarded Lily as his younger sister, and never thought of developing in the direction of love.Therefore, no matter whether it is the liqueur chocolate when crying, or the jokes when chatting occasionally, they are not completely taken to heart.

However, today, when Lily returned the ruler she had forgotten for many years to him, Li Lei suddenly felt that there was a person who had been watching him silently for so many years, but he didn't care at all.

Maybe, when a person is focused on another person, he can forget the whole world.Just like Li Lei, who used to love Han Meimei persistently, just like Lily, who once loved Li Lei persistently!

Gradually, Li Lei avoided Han Meimei a little bit. When eating at noon, whenever he saw Han Meimei from a distance, Li Lei turned around and went back to the office. He either ordered takeaway or just ate some bread.

He didn't know how he should face it, whether it was relationship or work, the past or the present, he really couldn't tell the difference, he just felt as if all of this was living in a dream, he always wanted to escape, but he couldn't break free!

The days pass like plain water, maybe, everyone is like this, even though they want different excitement every day, the process still needs to be accumulated little by little, and many times the original prediction and the final result will always have a gap Very different, but so what?Perhaps this is the arrangement of fate, whether it is emotional or career, it will always have its proper destination.

At this time, Li Lei still thinks of Han Meimei occasionally, but after all, as an adult man, he should understand that when he likes it but can't have it, he should let it go completely, and wish her happiness in another open-minded way. what can i do
That night, it was a bit late, and Li Lei was about to wash up and go to bed, when suddenly his cell phone rang.Picking it up, it turned out to be Han Meimei's. It's so late, is there something important?
"Hi, Meimei, hello." Li Lei said politely.

"Lei." Han Meimei over there seemed to be drunk, and she couldn't speak clearly. In addition, the surrounding environment was very noisy. Li Lei couldn't hear what Han Meimei was saying at all.

"What are you talking about, Meimei, speak up!" Hearing Han Meimei's voice state, Li Lei couldn't help becoming anxious.

"I'm alone, I feel so lonely, I'm at the bar, can you come over?" Han Meimei sounded helpless when she said this, Li Lei got up quickly, said while getting dressed: "Okay, you wait for me , I'll go there right away!"

"Which bar are you at?"

"Class one."

When Li Lei rushed to the bar, Han Meimei was a little confused, but she could still say something.

"Ray, you're here, I don't want to stay here anymore, shall we go out?"

"Why are you drinking like this? What happened?" Li Lei finished paying and dragged Han Meimei out.

"The air outside is so fresh, and my life is so helpless..." Han Meimei opened her arms and said loudly, "I want to fly, I want to fly higher!"

"Meimei, you're drunk." Li Lei hurried over to help her.

"I'm not drunk, I'm not drunk." Han Meimei walked a little staggeringly.

"Shall we go and watch the sunrise?" Han Meimei said suddenly.

"It's so late, I'll call Han Gang and ask him to come pick you up." Li Lei took out his cell phone while talking.

"Don't call him, he's not a good person, don't call him!" Han Meimei grabbed the phone and wanted to throw it away, but Li Lei quickly grabbed the phone and said, "Okay, I won't call him, you tell me , What exactly happened? Did you guys quarrel? "

"We quarreled?" Han Meimei smiled and said, "I didn't quarrel with Han just now, we are fine, we never quarreled after we got married."

Li Lei was even more puzzled, what happened to make Han Meimei behave like this.

"You promise me to watch the sunrise, and I'll tell you." Han Meimei said.

"Well..." Li Lei was hesitating, but Han Meimei walked crookedly to her car, opened the door, and was about to start it.

"Meimei, don't do this, it's dangerous." Li Lei took the driver's seat first, and Han Meimei switched to the passenger seat.

It was very late, so there were few cars on the road, and the sound of the wind outside could be heard while sitting in the car. Li Lei closed the window and drove quietly. At this moment, he didn't know what to say to make Han Meimei happy a little.

"Lei, don't you want to know why I am like this?" Han Meimei said, "Today I came out of the company after overtime work a bit late, passing by a bar, and saw Han Gang coming out of it, with a beautiful girl on one side, I originally The plots that I thought I only saw in TV dramas happened in my life, I can't accept it..."

"Maybe it's just socializing. It's normal for such a thing to happen. Maybe he's talking about clients today." Li Lei wanted to relieve Han Meimei's bad thoughts through this answer.

"What entertainment, he often tells me that, so sometimes I can bear it when I go home late, but today I saw some ambiguous text messages on his mobile phone, tell me, what do you think this proves?"

Women are very sensitive to such things. After all, Li Lei is not familiar with Han Gang, so naturally he can't judge what kind of person he is, but at this time he knows that what he should do is to make Han Meimei feel that all his discoveries are just Just a misunderstanding.

"Well..." Li Lei had never encountered such a thing, so naturally he didn't know how to say it.

"The so-called marriages look beautiful, but they are helpless. Before marriage, it may be called a story. After marriage, it is an accident in the story, an accident, but sometimes both parties in the accident are injured, and sometimes only One side is injured..." Han Meimei murmured like a poet, and Li Lei listened very hard to hear what she said clearly.So he just drove the car silently, letting Han Meimei talk alone, at this moment, Li Lei wished so much that he could stay by Han Meimei's side all the time!
Throughout the night, Li Lei drove around the city for a whole week, and chatted with Han Meimei for a whole night, and the good things from the past spread out bit by bit.

Li Lei thought that Han Meimei should be very happy after marrying a rich second-generation husband. Worrying about money is like Han Meimei being depressed because of feelings...

Near morning, Li Lei parked the car on a hill where the sunrise could be seen, and Han Meimei also got out of the car.

The brilliance of the sunrise spreads from the east bit by bit, neither fast nor slow, just like life now.Li Lei suddenly felt that he hadn't seen the sunrise for many years, and the memory of the last sunrise was with Han Meimei. A chill penetrated Li Lei's heart, but because Han Meimei was by his side, he still felt a little warmth .However, this kind of warmth cannot be expressed in words, perhaps it is what others say "can only be felt, not expressed in words"!

The once little beauty captured Li Lei's heart again. I don't know what Han Meimei is thinking at this time?How much did she remember after getting drunk last night?Li Lei didn't ask, and he didn't intend to ask. Let these feelings drift away with the wind, just like the past days, and you can't get back...

After the meeting that night, Li Lei rarely saw Han Meimei again. Even when he met in the company, he would greet Han Meimei very politely and then walk away. I can't help but feel lost, but we are all adults. If every meeting is a heartbreak, it's better to just disappear, isn't it?
9. United Group staff meeting
Li Lei was afraid that Han Gang would find out about his affairs with Han Meimei. Even though nothing happened between them, he even had the idea of ​​resigning at one point, considering how honorable this job was in the eyes of his parents. , It is also very difficult for me to win, and I can't bear to give up, just like the attachment I have been pursuing for a long time, I don't know how to deal with it.

At three o'clock in the afternoon that day, the United Group called a meeting of all high-level cadres. This time the meeting was presided over by Han Gang's father, Han Dihao, the chairman of the United Group.

"Good afternoon, all the best partners of United Group!" Han Dihao went on to say, "Today we gather everyone together to discuss a strategic issue. I have always been committed to building United Group into a city-wide The most profitable company and the richest company, I think I have achieved it today. Our employees have achieved a per capita wage level that is 30% higher than that of similar companies, and our employee happiness has reached 93% according to survey statistics! I I believe that all of this is not just the result of my own efforts, but also the cooperation of all the employees who are present and those who did not attend the meeting. Here, I am very grateful to everyone for their trust in me and the joint group company. Thank you Everyone!" After finishing speaking, Han Dihao bowed deeply.

There was thunderous applause at the meeting.Han Dihao signaled the applause to stop, and then said: "So, I think that the development of a company is not just about me alone, but about the entire company, and it is also about everyone here. It is also a matter of calling everyone here today." It is for this reason that I want everyone to be clear about the company's overall strategic plan for the next 1, 3, and 5 years!"

"Then, for the rest of the time, we will hand it over to Han Gang, the president of the company, and ask him to describe to you what the company plans to do in the future. Everyone is welcome!" With the end of Han Dihao's impassioned speech, Han Gang stepped onto the rostrum .

"Like Mr. Han, I am very grateful for everyone's support and trust in the United Group over the years, especially for me. Since I became the president of the company two years ago, many seniors in the company have given me a lot. Guidance, although sometimes we have differences of opinion of one kind or another, but it is because of your suggestions that I can be where I am today, so I hereby formally thank you all!"

There was another burst of warm applause. "Next, let me share with you the company's future development plan..."

Following Han Gang's eloquence, Li Lei felt that his heart had drifted out of the window.

Han Meimei didn't come to the meeting, what was she doing at this time?Did you pick up your kids from school?Or prepare a delicious dinner for the family at home?She shouldn't have done these things!There should be a nanny and housekeeper at home.But why didn't she come to the meeting?
Han Gang's narration finally came to an end: "Then, next, I will invite Ms. Han Meimei, secretary of the board of directors, to share with you how the company will achieve these goals in three to five years! Everyone is welcome!"

At this time, Han Meimei just pushed open the door of the conference room and stepped onto the rostrum gracefully.

"I'm sorry, I have some things to deal with temporarily. I'm late, so let me first say sorry." Han Meimei bowed apologetically, and then said, "Just now the chairman and the president have analyzed the company's three-to-five-year Development planning and strategic goals. Next, I will take the real estate business department as an example to tell you how to achieve these goals. After I finish my presentation, I hope that all colleagues can write a goal achievement plan according to the characteristics of their own departments , hand it over to me before get off work this Friday..."

Han Meimei was in high spirits on the rostrum, like a strong woman image of a company executive, very different from when she was in school!At this time, she was completely different from the way she complained to herself when she was drunk!
Li Lei suddenly shivered. He began to feel that people are wearing all kinds of masks every day to face all kinds of people. When is the truest self, I am afraid that even he does not know. Bar!So he pretended to be listening very seriously on the surface, but actually his thoughts went back to the middle school days a few years ago——

10. Events such as borrowing a ruler
"Students, there are two new students in our class today, one named Lily and the other named Lucy." Miss Gao said to all the students in Class [-].

"Wow, it's still twins!"

"So beautiful!"

"Which one is the elder sister and which is the younger sister?"

The students in the class suddenly started talking like a pot exploded.Indeed, so far in the entire elite high school, there have been no twin sisters, let alone two blond-haired foreign children.

"Students, keep quiet, come on, Lily and Lucy, you sit in those two seats first." MissGao said to the twins.

Then she adjusted her status and began to introduce the twins in her proficient class mode: "Good morning, class! Who'son duty today?"

"I am."

"Are we all here?"

"Yes."

"OK, Today we have two students. Their names are Lily and Lucy."

"Hello, Lily and Lucy. Welcome to our class."

"Thank you."

"Er, this is Lucy, this is Lily."

"I am not Lily, I am Lucy. She is Lily," said Lucy.

"Sorry! You look the same."

Even Miss Gao couldn't tell the twins apart, which made the whole class laugh.After introducing the twins, the atmosphere in the class became a little more active.No wonder, with two foreign girls coming, the English class in the future should be more lively.

Lily's seat is on the back right of Li Lei, so the ruler, yes, when did you borrow the ruler?Li Lei shook his head to sober up, and continued to think.

It seems... yes, after Han Meimei returned the ruler to herself, Lily seemed to have borrowed the ruler!
"Can I borrow your ruler?" Han Meimei looked at Li Lei at the same table and asked with a smile.

"Sure, here you are!" Li Lei generously handed the ruler to Han Meimei.

This kind of dialogue happened to be heard by Jim who was sitting in the back, and he felt jealous. Children, sometimes they are more serious about small things, so there was the "Frisbee Throwing Incident" later. At that time, Li Lei really I thought Jim was careless, but when he accidentally turned over to Jim's diary, he realized that the head injury was not accidental!

× Year × Month × Day Week × The weather is fine.

During this period of time, I have been in a bad mood, I don't know why, I seem to feel that I like Han Meimei a little bit, but she doesn't know that I like him.

So, every morning, I use the pocket money my mother gave me to buy some snacks that she likes, and give them to her during the recess.In order not to let people around find out, I also distributed them to Li Lei and Lin Tao, but only I know that I bought these things for Han Meimei because I like to see her eat snacks and listen to her. giggling.

Once, I bought devil candy for her to eat, and after eating it, her tongue turned green, which looked horrible.But she was very happy, always laughing.

However, today, after school, I saw him leaving with Li Lei.Originally, Li Lei and I left after school, and she left with Wei Fang. I don't know why Wei Fang didn't come today, and Li Lei didn't wait for me.I had to go home alone and felt very lonely.

I think Li Lei also likes Han Meimei. After all, they grew up together, and they are very close in terms of language and living habits.For example, I eat bread every morning, and hamburgers or sandwiches at noon, but they always eat soy milk fritters in the morning, noodles sometimes at noon, and sometimes rice.Although I also prefer to eat Chinese food, I definitely can't bear to eat it every day.

This weekend, I originally planned to invite Han Meimei and other friends to my house for dinner.But today when I wanted to tell her the news, she was borrowing a ruler from Li Lei. Originally, it was just borrowing a ruler, but they talked and laughed for a long time.I had no choice but to swallow what I wanted to say, and said nothing.

So, because of my little jealousy, I pretended to accidentally smash Li Lei's head during an extracurricular activity. On one side was my best buddy and on the other was the girl I liked. I really I don't know what to do is the best, Li Lei, I'm sorry, I was a little impulsive at that time, I hope you don't blame me.

A few days ago, my classmates in the UK showed me pictures of their girlfriends, and I secretly sent them pictures of Han Meimei, saying they were my girlfriends.They all said it was very beautiful, and they all envied me!
However, only I know that these are all fake. Chinese children don’t fall in love in their teens, so I have to keep this secret. When we are all grown up and can fall in love, I will tell Han Meimei ,I like her!
When he saw this diary, Li Lei felt a little sad. He could vaguely feel that Jim liked Meimei, but he didn't know that Jim smashed his head because of a ruler!
That is to say, from then on, there was always some estrangement between Li Lei and Jim, and no one was willing to bring things up. They were always hesitant to speak, until Jim learned that Han Meimei had become Li Lei's daughter in college. Friends, I started joking with Li Lei again.

……

"Okay, today's meeting ends here first!" A burst of applause brought Li Lei back to reality.
