"I bet, Senior Xie liked you," Song Mi couldn't stop her mouth even though it was full of strawberry cake. I furrowed my eyebrows and helped her clean her nose with a tissue. "Aw, my Kokoro can't help but fallin' for you~ Maomao, take me to the star," she continued.
"What? Will you leave me then?" Jiang Chen yelled. These two lovebirds couldn't find a better place for a single dog.
"Hey, if you guys just want to show affection then do it in another place," I grunted. "Why should you ask me for lunch then," I continued.
"Oh, we were joking. Calm down. We are going to send you this invitation," Jiang Chen handed me a gorgeous black envelope. I opened it, it was a wedding invitation from both of them.
"Woah, congrats!!!" I clapped my hands and laughed happily at them.
Song Mi is my childhood friend. She is older than me by 5 years. When we were kids, I thought she had the same age as me. Since she looked smaller than me. We first met at our grandma's house in the countryside. Both of our parents stayed in the city but rarely came back. Accidentally, we met when I was on my first holiday at elementary school. But, Mi mi was on her holiday before starting the first class of the middle school.
She looked so small and physically weak from birth. Absolutely different from my aggressive and healthy temperament. So, we befriended so closely until I found out that she was five years older than me, it was when we were planning to go back to the city. But, I was too comfortable calling her without seniority.
Even though she looked small, she took care of my studies and converse more with me. Since we liked watching classical barbie movies together.
When she was in middle school, the rapid progress of her height made me speechless. She used to be 112cm but in her third year, it became 156cm!
When she was in high school, she became a flower that was targeted by many guys. But, we were still the best playmates! Sometimes, she played at my home. But mostly, I stayed at Song Family more.
She was like a protagonist in a certain plot. Everything goes well but not mine. In my third year of middle school, my parents agreed to divorce. My dad remarried again not long after that and also my mom. Well, my dad was quite patriarchal. He blamed my mom a lot at home, I knew. But, what should a daughter do if the problem is about a son that never came?
Anyhow, when the mistress of my dad became pregnant, both of them decided to divorce peacefully. Even though I knew, sometimes my mom cried a lot at night. Two weeks after that, my dad sent us his wedding invitation. My mom went there with me, she looked so pretty and seemed to let the problem go.
Mostly, the kid after the divorce changed a lot, right? But, I couldn't be like that. I still go to school like I used to and got first in every subject. I couldn't let my mom be sad.
But, you must have heard this joke, my dad's new wife gave birth to twin sisters. I was there at the hospital since my dad asked me to come to help his wife. At that time, he told me, "Your mom has been quite depressed since the last three months of her pregnancy. Help me to take her well-being to the hospital while I fetch your grandma,"
He still had some work and needed to fetch my grandma in the countryside. But, it was the most unbelievable thing that happened. After giving birth, she passed out for 15 minutes and tried to change the baby's information when the nurse didn't see it. I was so shocked by the action that I stopped her. At that time, there was also a mother who gave birth to twin boys. But, she cried and made some scene like I tried to hit her.
The timing was so damn right when my father saw it. My grandma hit me. They cursed me. I still remember what they told me.
"She mocked me for giving birth to a daughter even though she was a female herself. I just gave birth but she cursed me to be like her mom," This dad's wife's mouth really hurt me a lot. After all, my mom lost her womb after giving birth to me.
"What a bad heart! Dare you to curse my grandchild?"
Well, my dad just looked at me from afar. After that accident, I never want to know about his news. I didn't tell my mom about this accident. Since I knew it would make her sad. But, it seemed their side won't notice my mom about the problem. So, we just stayed silent like it never happened.
Anyway, since he is my dad. I just couldn't keep silent. Even though I decided to not want his news, sometimes I still asked about his well-being or greetings on New Year.
