At the university gate where Mu Xiaomei was, there was not just one cold drink shop.
After leaving the dormitory, she called Li Zhi to ask for the location and then hurried over.
I didn't change into high heels at night!
Mu Xiaomei pushed open the door of the cold drink shop, looked around, and spotted Li Zhi sitting inside.
"Sorry, I'm late!" She said, still catching her breath.
Li Zhi smiled wryly, pointed to the chair opposite, and said, "Why the rush?" I'm not going to run away. "Don't worry, I won't default on the money I owe you!"
When she left home today, Mu Xiaomei wore an orange dress and white sneakers. She was supposed to wear high heels, but she hurriedly put on the wrong shoes. With a height of 1.72 meters and a weight of less than 100 pounds, she possessed a pair of envy-inducing long legs that any woman would admire and any man would envy. Her shoulder-length hair was usually tied in a ponytail for class, but tonight, to showcase a more beautiful side, she left her hair down.
Mu Xiaomei has always been the standout beauty of the class from childhood to adulthood. Even in university, her appearance remains unmatched by few.
In short, Mu Xiaomei is stunningly beautiful. But her beauty is not the same as the enchanting and glamorous beauty of Dong Xiaorou.
"I'm not…" Mu Xiaomei was eager to explain that she didn't come to chase after Li Zhi for money.
Calculating the time, the two of them hadn't seen each other for at least a year. Although not strangers, the longing in their hearts had grown during this extended absence.
Li Zhi interrupted her, not letting her continue, and said with a smile, "I was just kidding." Sit down and catch your breath. Let's rest for a while before we go eat. "What would you like to drink?"
"Lemon juice, please!"
"Waiter, please bring a glass of lemon juice!" Li Zhi snapped his fingers at the bar.
Mu Xiaomei took a deep breath and looked at the man opposite her. She was not unfamiliar with this man, and even if she said something unpleasant, she knew what was on his mind, and, of course, he knew what was on hers.
It's just that clear!
"Are you okay?" Mu Xiaomei asked softly.
"I'm fine!" Li Zhi shrugged, smiling, and his expression no longer showed that kind of decadence; he looked very spirited.
Mu Xiaomei had inquired about Li Zhi's situation with many people and learned that there had been an accident in his family. During that time, she had called Li Zhi, but he had never answered. If it weren't for Li Zhi calling her later to borrow money, she would have thought she couldn't contact him.
Both of them fell silent, unsure of what to say. If it had been earlier, Li Zhi would have been restless, hugging and kissing her.
The waitress brought the lemon juice that Mu Xiaomei had ordered. She thanked her and took a sip.
"Have you lost weight again?" Li Zhi touched his nose and asked with a smile.
After not seeing each other for a few months, Li Zhi noticed that Mu Xiaomei had not only lost weight but also appeared more attractive.
He had witnessed Mu Xiaomei's transformation from a girl to a woman, but he hadn't been there to protect her or witness the blooming of this dazzling rose.
"Have I lost weight?" It doesn't seem like it. Mu Xiaomei looked into Li Zhi's eyes and shook her head softly.
Li Zhi nodded affirmatively, saying, "You have, you definitely have." "This won't do; being too thin makes you look bony, but lacking fullness also isn't beautiful." He glanced at Mu Xiaomei's chest and said in a low voice, "You were already a 'xiaolongbao'; if you let the 'filling' be starved, there won't be anything left."
Mu Xiaomei had no comments about her appearance, figure, or skin; her only regret was not having a "princess" figure.
Mu Xiaomei blushed and lowered her head, saying, "Annoying!" She wasn't angry at Li Zhi's flowery words!
Absolutely charming, a water lily that could make a man salivate.
Ah!
Li Zhi sighed in his heart. How could he have been so heartless in the past? How could he not have cherished such a delicate and beautiful girl?
Was it really true, as people say, that once something is in hand, it's no longer valued?
"Have you found a boyfriend?" Li Zhi suddenly asked.
Mu Xiaomei frowned, raised her head to look at him, and with a voice that only the two of them could hear, she asked softly, "Do you hope that I find a boyfriend, or do you not hope that I find a boyfriend?"
Staring boldly at Li Zhi.
"Uh!" Li Zhi chuckled awkwardly and said, "Of course, I hope that you find someone who truly loves you and is worthy of entrusting a lifetime to."
"You've changed!" Mu Xiaomei smiled tenderly at him.
"Changed, how have I changed?" "Hehe, I'm still the same Li Zhi as before, aren't I?" Li Zhi smiled and asked in return.
Mu Xiaomei shook her head and said, "You used to be very domineering... and you never cared. You never asked if I had a boyfriend because, to you, it didn't matter whether I had one or not. You didn't want to marry me or be my girlfriend; you just wanted to play with me."
"Damn it!" Li Zhi cursed, smiling bitterly, "I was a jerk before, not a good person." Mu Xiaomei, today I apologize to you.
At this point, Li Zhi put away his smile and said seriously, "You were the one who reached out to help me when I was most helpless." I will always remember this friendship. From now on, you are my best friend, my most important family member. No matter when, as long as you need me, I will be there. At the same time, I hope you will be happy and joyful for the rest of your life. Mu Xiaomei, I used to be a jerk, but in the future, I will strive to grow and become a better person.
What kind of person will I become? Li Zhi was stuck. Although he knew he had been a jerk before, he had never thought about what kind of person he would become in the future. Would he really be completely serious, not flirting, not fighting, not drinking, not whoring… That seemed a bit difficult to achieve.
Li Zhi's words stunned Mu Xiaomei, but her next words also stunned Li Zhi.
Blushing, Mu Xiaomei said coyly, "Are you confessing to me, preparing to pursue me again?"
Li Zhi stared at her, confessing. Pursuing again? This was all so confusing to him. He touched his nose and realized that he hadn't really thought about it that way.
But, observing Mu Xiaomei's expression, Li Zhi chuckled awkwardly twice, refraining from speaking the truth in his heart. He hesitated to voice it out loud as it might hurt her pride.
"Haha!" Mu Xiaomei laughed, giving Li Zhi a coquettish look, and said softly, "I guess someone like you, who is so fickle, even if you are changing, you still can't give up the whole forest for a little sapling like me." "You should honestly find a girlfriend, or you'll suffocate!"
"Hehe!" Li Zhi forced a smile twice. He was really confused about what Mu Xiaomei was thinking.
But reason told him that this issue absolutely couldn't be discussed further.
