Xiaobai Deformation Meter

The hottest time in Yucheng is only about 23 degrees.

The man opened all the windows in the house, thinking that he would close them again when the temperature cooled down at night.He stretched comfortably, and then poked his head out of the window again.

His good neighbor Emma is stalking by.

The man didn't realize why Emma appeared on his Saturday morning for a while, until he saw the kraft paper that Emma was holding in his arm, he felt familiar. It was clearly a painting...

Before the neighbor could ring the doorbell, the figure of his wife appeared below him.

The man probably guessed what was going on, so he ran downstairs towards Lilian.

Lilian talked with this Chinese lady generously in Chinese.

"Baby Emma, ​​I remember you loved it when I gave it to you, why give it back to me now?"

Emma was about to speak when the man rushed over and put his arms around Lilian's waist.

"Honey, what are you talking about?" He grabbed the conversation and greeted the neighbors again.

Emma smiled at him, and Lilian also smiled and said, "Remember the paintings you promised to give to Emma? You happened to go to work that day, and I couldn't find the key to the studio, so I went to the storage room downstairs to get some paintings." Draw for Emma to choose."

The man nodded continuously, looking a little uneasy.

"It's very kind of me to say Lilian. She gave me some of your works. Of course I can't be so greedy, so I just chose this one." After that, Emma pointed to the painting in her hand, with a look that she couldn't bear to let go of. appearance.

The man recognized the outer packaging at a glance, it was Xu Bai's painting...

"It's really nice that you like us, but why do you want to give it back to me?" Lllian was confused.

Before Emma could answer, the man interjected, "It's okay, there are better works in the studio, I'll take you to pick another one!"

"Oh, well, if you don't mind, I can buy it with money."

"No, no, I usually don't take home those works that are waiting for auction. You can pick the paintings here, although they are not cheap, but Lilian and I are willing to give them to first-class good neighbors."

Emma laughed politely, but Lilian was still confused.

In this way, the man took his neighbors to the studio to choose paintings, and he was sure that his wife just passed Xu Bai's paintings to Emma as his works without opening them.And Emma returned the previous painting to him after getting a satisfactory work.

The man breathed a sigh of relief, but Emma said, "Actually, I don't plan to change it. It's an excellent work, but I don't think it's appropriate to take it away. It should be left to you." After finishing speaking, she looked around again with a smile Lilian, then walked away.

"What did Emma mean?"

The man sat blankly on the chair, staring at his wife's beautiful big eyes, knowing that he still couldn't hide it.

"Actually, this painting is not mine." He said slowly, "She did it."

Lilian was obviously surprised, and asked him: "How could it be... so she is still a painter... But why are her paintings in our house?"

He sighed and told the story again.

"Is she in Rain City now?"

The man shook his head sadly and said angrily, "No, I can get this painting no matter where she is."

"Honey, I don't understand, really, let me see." Lilian put his hands on his chest and nodded, "I really want to know what Emma means."

A moment of silence.

The man thought for a few seconds, then unwrapped the wrapping paper himself, and carefully held the painting in front of his wife...

"Wow, it's so beautiful. It's really not your painting. I can recognize it."

"Look carefully." He reminded.

I saw Lilian's eyes lingering on the content for a while, then turned to the signature, and then stared at the man with wide eyes, as if he didn't know him.

"It's impossible, honey, do you want to tell me..." Lilian became incoherent, "No wonder Emma didn't say anything, she only said that sentence... So you've been hiding it from me, I'm sure I'll know too... ...how can you bear this all by yourself?"

The man quickly put the painting on the ground, got up and hugged his wife.

He whispered: "Honey, it's okay, I'm by your side."

Lilian choked in his arms with tears in her eyes, but still smiled and said: "Then I have to finish listening to her story, I finally know why you are bothered by her, we really owe her so much..."

Xu Bai was also very shocked - Mi Yong'er actually returned to China!

But what she didn't expect was that Yong'er talked to her on the phone for a while before revealing the reason for returning to China this time.

"Ah Bai, I'm getting married soon..."

"Married?" Xu Bai gripped the phone tightly, "With whom?"

Mi Yonger told her that the groom was their Jinchuan alumnus: "We were still students at the same level. We didn't know each other at the time, and we played our own way. Later, I went to Spain, and he also studied there. together..."

Xu Bai didn't listen carefully to what he said afterwards, it was nothing more than to go back to Yueshi this year to hold a wedding banquet after confirming the relationship.He was thinking about other things in his mind, and felt a little unbelievable—it turned out that the little girl sitting next to her was going to get married!

Time has been pushing them forward.

"Well, congratulations." Xu Bai said with a smile, suddenly feeling a little uncomfortable.

She talked a lot with Yong'er again, about Jin Chuan, about what happened to her later.

"You really turned into a T?" Yong'er seemed surprised, "When did you and Liang Haimei separate... Oh, your story is too long, let's find a time to chat, I miss you very much , it took a lot of effort to get your phone number, you seem to have evaporated from the world, and Han Yeren couldn't find it, I have given up, where did you two painters go?"

Xu Bai smiled, and said a little shyly, "Okay, let's see when you are free."

"Do you have time tomorrow afternoon?"

Xu Bai had to go to work tomorrow, but he didn't want to delay Yong'er's wedding preparations, so he said, "Yes."

The next day, she asked the company for a half-day leave, reported to Shen Yi again, and then took a taxi to Yixiang City, walked quickly through the shopping mall, and came to an open-air cafe.

Before going to Yong'er's side, Xu Bai recognized this old classmate——Yong'er was holding on to the railing, her appearance still unchanged, the same as in high school.

Before, Xu Bai repeatedly emphasized that maybe Yong'er no longer recognizes her.

Ke Yong'er smiled the moment she saw her, obviously knowing who the person in front of her was.

"Ah Bai, your hair is so short."

Xu Bai ran to Yong'er while laughing, wanting to hug his old classmate, but felt that it was not good, so he didn't do anything.She suddenly felt that she and Yong'er were both very familiar and strange.

The two entered the coffee shop, Yong'er helped her order something, and Xu Bai found a quiet place.She has been observing Yong'er, but she didn't realize that she was blushing.

"You really haven't changed at all, unlike me."

"They all said that I haven't changed, but how could I not? After all these years, sometimes I feel like you are still sitting next to me knitting scarves."

Xu Bai lowered his head and hugged the cup, then raised his head suddenly, "I asked for half a day off, just to see how you are..."

"I don't think Ah Bai has changed." Yong'er looked at her with a smile.

"Impossible, Liang Haimei said that she doesn't know me anymore, and my parents also think that I have changed and make troubles all day."

"No, you are still so stable and haven't changed at all."

Xu Bai was stunned, she had never heard such an evaluation before.

She didn't speak for a while, Yong'er said again: "You are still so desperate for your feelings, as long as you are convinced, you will always stick to it."

"I didn't get a good result. I've seen Liang Haimei through." Xu Bai frowned, "She also said I cheated, and I think I did."

"I'm not familiar with Liang Haimei, but I always feel that she..." Yong'er paused, "I don't know how to describe it."

"How can there be such a person in the world."

"At that time, no one can stop you. Even if I tell you, you won't look back."

"That's true." Xu Bai felt a little uncomfortable, and once again denied his original self.

"What happened to you? Tell me about Shen Yi. She is so cute, small, and cute."

Xu Bai used the afternoon tea time to tell Yong'er the whole thing. They chatted happily and talked about their former classmates until Yong'er's husband came.

This man of their age looked fine, like an ordinary gentleman.

Xu Bai offered a cigarette out of politeness, and the man also politely said he would not smoke.She had no choice but to put the cigarette back, and when she looked up and saw Yong'er sitting next to the man, she suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

Since yesterday, she has been thinking about why...

Later, it was almost she who was chatting with Yong'er, and the man just sat and listened quietly, occasionally interjected and said with a smile to Yong'er: "I know your friend treats you well, and I even took time off to see you, what are you showing off to me?"

Xu Bai suddenly remembered that Yong'er liked Tang Shi before, and felt that her husband should know about it too, after all, they are both old schoolmates of Jinchuan.Then he thought of his current appearance, afraid that the man might misunderstand something, so he didn't talk any more.

When leaving, Yong'er kept telling her to come to the wedding.

For Xu Bai, this meeting was too formal, she had never spoken to Yong'er so carefully, it was all very casual.

After returning home, she had to admit that time also opened up the distance between the two of them. Even if it was friendship, she didn't manage it well.Sure enough, as Lin Lan said, Liang Haimei was the only one in her world at that time.

What makes Xu Bai feel even more distressed is that she just found out that she seems to have liked Yong'er before... just like she didn't know that she was T.

Now that Yong'er is going to get married, she finally understands what it feels like to lose—that is not friendship, but love that has been hidden for a long time.

Xu Bai was very frustrated, she knew that Shen Yi would understand her, so she told Yi Yi about it without hiding anything.

[Ah Bai, don’t think about it anymore, it’s over, she’s fine now, you should be happy for her. ]

[I'm pretty happy, I'll never tell her about it, I just feel stupid and haven't recovered.I'm so stupid, I didn't even know that I liked her before! ]

[Does Abai still like her? ]

[Stupid, I like her, do I dare to tell you, I love you, but I'm a little confused about the past, won't my wife be angry? ]

[She gave you warmth before, and your ex was like that again, you think she is so normal, I can understand. ]

Xu Bai smiled softly: [Your elder sister Yonger also said that she would like to meet you if she has a chance, so hurry up and come to my side, I really miss you. ]

[Okay, I'll go there obediently, Ah Bai, don't be unhappy, go and attend the wedding properly. ]

A week later, she attended Mi Yonger's romantic wedding at the hotel on time.

Xu Bai gave her the gift money to the limit of her ability, although it was very small, it was already her all.

She never took her eyes off Yong'er, she used her mobile phone to record this girl who has special meaning to her the whole time, silently watching Yong'er in a white dress in the crowd, walking down the red carpet with her destined person on her arm , thus becoming a woman.

At the moment when she put on the diamond ring, the smile on Yong'er's face was imprinted in her heart, and she couldn't let it go for a long time.

As the audience cheered, Xu Bai turned her head away. She was afraid that she would try to snatch the marriage, so she lit a cigarette and walked to the open-air balcony where there was no one else. An episode of a popular movie wafted into her ears...

[I heard the raindrops falling on the green grass, I heard the bell ringing for the end of get out of class in the distance... But I didn't hear your voice, seriously calling my name...]

[When I fell in love with you, I didn't understand feelings, and I felt unforgettable after parting... Why didn't I realize that meeting you is the best thing in life...]

Xu Bai's eyes were red, he tilted his head and closed his eyes.

[Perhaps I was busy smiling and crying, chasing shooting stars in the sky at that time, people naturally forget who is in the wind and rain, and has been silently guarding the place...]

[It turns out that you are the luck I want to keep the most. It turns out that our love was so close... I am so lucky to meet you, but I have lost the right to cry for you...]

She looked at the sky, remembered the rainy day and the rainbow in the sky when Yong'er kept her, and wondered if Yong'er had liked her before.

Then she felt that these were not important anymore, she only wanted Yong'er to be happy forever, always, happier than her...

The auditorium was still cheering, but Xu Bai's tears fell down, slowly falling to the ground along with the cigarette ash in his hand.
