strange i love you

Chapter 17 The stars in the sky don't speak (2)
Hearing this, Lin Youxi couldn't stop being indifferent.She raised her head and mumbled, "Don't, don't tell them." If her family saw her like this, she would feel distressed. Lin Youxi didn't want them to worry.

"I know, I'm not that stupid." Lu Li patted Lin Youxi's back to comfort her.

Lu Li supported Lin Youxi and walked back to the rented room which was only about [-] square meters. It was so messy that Lu Li was always worried that a creature like a mouse would come out of it.

"How long has it been since you cleaned?" Lu Li fanned her nose with her hand, walked directly to the window, and opened the curtains to let the room breathe.

Lin Youxi turned on the light, and was startled by the mess in the room.I didn't think there was anything wrong before, but now that there are more people in the room, Lin Youxi also began to dislike the mess inside.Lu Li found a plastic bag from nowhere, bent down and began to pick up the garbage one by one, pop cans, foam lunch boxes, chocolate wrappers, ice cream boxes, toilet paper... the bag was full, and Lu Li carried the garbage to the door In addition, after returning, they continued to clean and tidy up.Lin Youxi watched her nose sore again, walked over and snatched the broom from Lu Li's hand: "Don't sweep it, I'll do it myself."

"Fool, do you still need to distinguish so clearly?" Lu Li turned her head and gave Lin Youxi a gentle smile, "When I was in the dormitory at university, when it was my turn to be on duty, I always forgot, actually At that time, I was lazy and didn’t want to clean. Every time, you helped me sweep the floor and take out the garbage. You helped me sweep the floor for four years in college. Now I just help you tidy up the house, and you are so polite. "

"Lily." Lin Youxi hooked her neck, buried her head in her clothes, and said carefully, "Thank you."

That night, Lin Youxi and Lu Li slept on the same bed. They used to have a good relationship at school. At night, either Lin Youxi went to Lu Li's bed, or Lu Li climbed onto Lin Youxi's bed, and the two watched together The beds in the dormitory are all single beds, but it is not too crowded for two people.

Lin Youxi breathed evenly while sleeping, but Lu Li lay on one side but didn't feel sleepy at all.He took out his mobile phone and turned on the screen. There were several unread text messages in the text message box.Luli clicked on it.

——Why didn't you reply to the text message?

--Where are you now?can we talk

——I promised to get a divorce, don't lose your temper.

Lu Li stared blankly at the phone screen until it went off silently and turned into darkness.

Lu Li asked for leave and stayed with Lin Youxi every day.Lin Youxi said: "Don't accompany me anymore, actually I want to be alone."

"No." She immediately denied, "If you stay alone, maybe something will happen. I must accompany you. I can also cook for you, wash your clothes, and clean for you. I work 24 hours a day. Nanny. If you are unhappy, I can drink and go crazy with you, but you just can't stay alone."

Lin Youxi was helpless, especially when she saw that Lu Li made a mess of the kitchen every time she cooked.There is no washing machine, so the clothes have to be washed by hand. Every time Lu Li dips in the water, it is regarded as a wash.As for cleaning, in addition to the obvious garbage that can be swept away, Lin Youxi can sweep out a lot of garbage under the sofa bed every time.But Lu Li is still doing these things happily, as if she is escaping from something.

Lin Youxi's mood fluctuates from time to time, when family members call to ask about her and Qin Zhihao, she always falters and falters.In fact, Qin Zhihao is more anxious than her. The Chinese New Year is approaching, and the family is already preparing for the engagement. In a few days, the invitations will be sent out, but what about Lin Youxi?

"There is no way for you to continue like this. You still have to face it." Lu Li made sweet and sour pork ribs, but they looked dark. I don't know if they put too much vinegar or they were burnt.She took a piece and fed it into her mouth, eating it with great relish.

Lin Youxi suspiciously picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs, but just as soon as she put it into her mouth, she spit it out with a "wow".

"It's so sour!" Lin Youxi grabbed the water glass and "Gulu Gulu" filled a large glass of water, "Did you forget to add sugar?"

And Lu Li had a completely numb expression, still chewing ribs in her mouth: "Really?" She looked like a puppet without a soul.

"What's wrong with you?" Lin Youxi finally sensed that something was wrong with her, "Is there something you didn't tell me?"

Lu Li scratched her head and said, "No, I have nothing to do."

"You must have something. I have been friends with you for so many years, how can I not know?"

"If I say it, we might not be friends anymore." Lu Li spat out the bones in her mouth, took a breath, and looked at Lin Youxi sadly, "Even I hate myself now."

"Don't be like this." Lin Youxi reached out to hold her hand, "Even if you murder and set fire, you are still my good friend."

"Do you know what kind of person I hated the most before?"

Lin Youxi thought for a while, and asked tentatively, "A third party?"

Lu Li raised her eyes and stared blankly at Lin Youxi. Suddenly, a tear fell without warning. She panicked and reached out to wipe it.

"Don't cry, speak well." Lin Youxi took out a piece of paper to help her wipe away her tears.

"Yes, what I hate the most is the third party. But do you know what is the most ridiculous thing?" Lu Li's voice was extraordinarily cold in the unheated room, Lin Youxi saw her red eyes, Can't help but get confused.

Looking at the girl in front of him in disbelief, who he had known for six years, she was still the playful and lovable girl in his memory.I remember that she and her ex-boyfriend stuck together happily and sweetly every day, studying in the room together, and took the goal of studying abroad as a ladder to the future together.She once said in front of herself that the most unforgivable thing in her life is the third party.But the world has changed, and she in the past would never have imagined that this day would come.

"Are you serious?" Lin Youxi asked hesitantly.

"Seriously."

Lu Li thought that after breaking up with her ex-boyfriend, she would never fall in love with anyone again, but after meeting the current person, she knew that this person had a long life to live, and she must not easily say that she would never love again.The other party was her client, and they both had a good impression of each other after having dinner several times. At Christmas, the other party confessed to her, and Lu Li fell in love so far. She originally wanted to tell Lin Youxi about this happy event, but Before she could tell Lin Youxi, she discovered that the other party was actually a man with a family.How ironic.

"So you're still inseparable?"

Lu Li smiled wryly: "It's not that we're disconnected, but we've been in touch all the time. Before we came to you, we had dinner and watched movies together every day, went shopping on weekends, and went for a drive. But grapefruit, the moment I saw you, my heart Shame surged up, how could I do this, I was really dazzled by love."

Lin Youxi reached out to hug her, patted her on the back lightly and said, "You're not wrong, you just don't know..."

Lu Li buried her head in Lin Youxi's hair and began to cry.

This little girl was just unlucky and hadn't met someone who was worth everything she could love.

As the Chinese New Year is approaching, Lu Li can no longer ask for leave to be with Lin Youxi, so she has to go back to work first, and the two of them spend less time seeing each other.Lin Youxi started her muddle-headed life again.She is now in love with chocolate and feels sick every day if she doesn't eat it.She even checked the ingredients in the chocolate online, and she suspected that she was addicted to chocolate.Three meals a day are full of chocolate, including pure chocolate and chocolate products.I ate chocolate while watching a drama, and I ate two boxes without knowing it.When she went out again, her previous clothes could hardly be worn anymore.

She wore a hat, hoping not to be recognized when meeting acquaintances.Wrapped in a tight-fitting down jacket to go shopping, red lanterns have been hung in the shopping mall, and the music is full of joyful Chinese New Year, Gong Xi Fa Cai and the like, Lin Youxi feels a sense of loneliness.

She pushed the shopping cart to the snack area and was putting chocolate biscuits into the car when she heard a phone call and turned her head subconsciously. The moment she recognized Zheng Tao, Lin Youxi immediately Turning his head, he pressed the hat on his head firmly down, and waited for an opportunity to find a way to leave.In the end, because of panic, I swept the biscuits on the shelf with my body, and only heard a "crack", and all the biscuits on the shelf "cracked" fell to the ground.

Zheng Tao turned around and didn't recognize Lin Youxi at first sight.Because her body shape has undergone tremendous changes, it is too difficult to connect with the previous thin figure.Out of enthusiasm, he went over and knelt down to help her pick up the biscuits on the floor. Lin Youxi suddenly became nervous, and hurriedly turned her head to the side, wishing to find a crack to hide herself.

Lin Youxi quickly picked up the biscuits, stood up and hurriedly prepared to leave.As a result, the mobile phone in the bag fell out very inappropriately, Zheng Tao picked it up and called Lin Youxi who left in a hurry.

"Well, your phone fell off—" Zheng Tao felt a little familiar when he saw the phone case in his hand, "That, alas! Hey!"

Lin Youxi didn't care about Zheng Tao calling her from behind, she grabbed her hat tightly and ran forward.Zheng Tao shouted and ran from behind, reaching out to stop her, but pulled the hat off her head.

At that moment, Lin Youxi felt that the whole world became quiet for a moment.Lin Youxi froze in place, her neck was too stiff to move.

"Miss, your mobile phone." Zheng Tao handed the mobile phone in front of her, and when he saw Lin Youxi's face, he was stunned, thinking why the person in front of him looked so familiar, and he was a little puzzled by his dumbfounded appearance.

Seeing Zheng Tao's dazed expression, Lin Youxi took the phone and prepared to slip away quickly.At this time, Zheng Tao suddenly came back to his senses, and shouted in disbelief: "Lin Youxi!"

"I'm not, I'm not, you've got the wrong person."

"Lin Youxi." Zheng Tao was [-]% sure this time, and he went to hold her back, "Where have you been hiding for so long?"

Lin Youxi almost screamed and broke free from his hand: "I'm not! You've got the wrong person!"

There were almost ten thousand muddy horses running past in her heart, how she wished she hadn't gone out today.Wouldn't it be nice to just stay quietly in the rental house? Why come out to look for food? It's simply a wrong choice!

Although reluctant, Lin Youxi followed Zheng Tao to a nearby cafe.Zheng Tao ordered a cup of mocha, and Lin Youxi almost ordered a cup of hot chocolate without hesitation.

"What's the matter with you?" Zheng Tao sat opposite and looked at Lin Youxi, his eyes almost looked at her with a magnifying glass, "How did you become like this in such a short time?"

When the hot chocolate came, Lin Youxi couldn't wait to drink more than half of it.The taste of chocolate spreads slowly in the mouth, and the mood gradually relaxes and improves in the sweet and greasy taste.

"During the week after you left, there were rumors about you in the company."

"What did they say?" Now Lin Youxi doesn't care about this anymore.

"Say you left without handing in your resignation report, and even had a big fight with your supervisor."

Lin Youxi lowered her head and fiddled with her nails, because they hadn't been trimmed for a while, they had grown into a wild style.Thinking that when I went out, I only had a dab on, and my hair wasn't combed properly, and I felt a little out of place sitting in a coffee shop with an elegant environment.

"Yeah, I won't go back, and it's impossible to go back again."

"You're too impulsive. Even if you want to change jobs, it's not too late to wait until the Chinese New Year is over."

"I don't want to change jobs." Lin Youxi reached out and grabbed a chocolate cake and stuffed it into her mouth, "I wasn't ready to retreat at all. I didn't know what I was thinking after arguing with the director that day. I didn't want to anyway. I will continue to stay in the company. Although you see that my life is not very good now, I don't regret it at all."

Zheng Tao looked at Lin Youxi in front of her, her face was two circles fatter than before, her skin was dull, her hair was messy, she looked five years older than before.She looks so decadent that she can pull people and things around her into a bottomless abyss of darkness. Could this be the legendary "Chakra"?
"I'm leaving the company after the Chinese New Year."

"You want to leave?" Lin Youxi showed a surprised expression, "Didn't you stay well in the company?"

"I'm going to start a studio by myself." Zheng Tao said, pretending to be sad, "No matter how well I do in the company, I'm working for others, so I decided to do it myself."

Lin Youxi didn't speak, in fact, she didn't know what to say.It seems that everyone around knows what they should do, has their own goals and plans, and looks like the future is in their hands.And she hated such a person, not so much because she hated it, but because she was jealous.Because they are so good compared to themselves, they seem to have accurate goals and keep moving forward.And I was in a daze, not knowing what I wanted at all, not even knowing what to choose for dinner.

When leaving the coffee shop, Zheng Tao took out a business card and handed it to Lin Youxi.

"When the studio opens, there must be a lack of copywriting and planning. If you haven't found a job by then, you can come to me. I won't dislike you."

Lin Youxi took it, but she didn't give him a hard look like before, or return the business card to him deliberately with disdain or disgust.

"Thank you." Lin Youxi whispered.
