Chapter 225 "Goodbye."
Well, she had a point.
Yan Cheng was a little unhappy. He should have known not to say anything.
"Why have I never seen you?"
Of course, he wasn't as outstanding as he is now.
He is the type of person who develops late. When he was in high school, he was about the same height as girls and did not look as manly as he does now.
He is very popular and most girls are willing to be his friend.
He was not outstanding, so of course she couldn't see him.
"I haven't seen you either."
He was lying and couldn't tell her the truth, otherwise she would think he was scheming.
"What did you look like when you were in school?"
An Qi wanted to know, after all, their two families lived so close that it was impossible for them to have never met each other before.
"Then do you want to come to my house to see the graduation photos?"
He is joking again, how can I go to his house?
"Okay, let's see how you explain it to your parents."
She was joking too, she bet he wouldn't dare.
"What's the big deal? I'll just say we're classmates."
"What do you think when your classmates come to your house late at night to look at graduation photos?"
An Qi smiled, and her smile was quite beautiful.
Yan Cheng was stunned for a moment. He had imagined today's scene many times, but he didn't expect it to come true.
"Then I'll say you're my girlfriend."
He was speaking from his heart, but it sounded so casual to her ears.
She is slow to warm up and isn't the type to fall in love at first sight. She hasn't gotten over her grief yet and she's only with him to kill time.
She said solemnly:
"Yan Cheng, I just broke up and I'm not in the mood to start a new relationship. I'm not as perfect as you think. I have a history and lived with others for a while. Maybe you don't understand me. I'm really boring, so I broke up with you."
She wanted to say that they were not suitable.
Looking at her serious expression, I was really touched.
Everyone has a past. He doesn’t have a virgin complex, nor is he that conservative.
In today's society, there won't be results from beginning to end, and he doesn't care or pay attention.
If the other person is her, then he really doesn't care.
"I do not care."
He doesn't care, he's just talking.
No one doesn't care about a person's past. Those lingering memories will always become a shadow in the future, just like now, even if he stands in front of her, she will unconsciously think of her childhood.
A person's past is deeply rooted and may fade but never forgotten.
From high school to now, there has never been a second person in her life. If possible, she wouldn't care so much.
"I don't feel like talking about this right now. If you're not willing, I can transfer the wonton money to you."
She wants to draw a line. Can a bowl of wontons really determine a lifetime?
An Qi was so cruel, she hurt him so badly.
Yan Cheng could no longer laugh. He looked at her and said calmly:
"Come on up, it's a bit cold outside."
The wind at night was indeed a bit cold, and the fallen leaves made a rustling sound.
His smile disappeared and he felt desolate at that moment.
Forgive her for not being able to get into another relationship quickly. Even if they no longer have feelings for each other, she cannot fall in love with someone else so quickly.
"Goodbye."
An Qi left without even looking back.
She also hurts others when she hurts her. In fact, love is like this, it is nothing more than loving and being loved.
Looking at her back, his heart gradually became lost.
In fact, she was right. She couldn't get into a relationship too quickly because that would be irresponsible to him.
They didn't fit, but he felt it did.

After that, they never contacted each other again, and her life returned to the boring routine of going from one place to another. Besides not being used to it, she would spend her free time shopping or in bookstores.
She never met Tong Xin again after they separated. After all, their life trajectories were parallel, so it was really difficult for them to meet.
The world is really big, with no one paying attention to the vast sea of people, but the world is also really small, with people living different lives in the same city.
She thought of that person, the one who always loved to laugh.
The weather turned cooler and the nights got dark much earlier. She came to the wonton stall for unknown reasons, as if she had opened up a new world.
Her trajectory is changing, and she is no longer the one who follows and changes for someone.
"Boss, give me one."
The boss looked at her and said, "Okay."
Maybe he recognized her, but with so many people around every day, he wouldn't remember.
After a while, the wontons were served. The cold outside formed a sharp contrast with the steaming wontons.
There aren't many people here today, probably because she came a little early.
Most people who come here eat wontons as a midnight snack after drinking. Who would be like her and eat this as dinner after get off work?
She doesn't eat much, so this is just enough to fill her up.
She followed Yan Cheng's method, adding seasonings one spoonful at a time, trying to recreate the flavor of that day that she still remembers today.
History is surprisingly similar. Just as he took a bite, a man came in from outside the door. They looked at each other and forgot to even say hello.
Yan Cheng didn't expect her to be here, and he specially thought of coming here to have a bite today.
He was wearing a ginger coat and looked very youthful.
He looked at her, and she seemed a little bewildered, as if she had been caught, but she had done nothing wrong.
During this period of time, he did not contact her on purpose, not intentionally or deliberately.
He has been very busy lately, having performed several major operations in a row, and today is the earliest day he gets off work.
She said she needed time, and he thought he should give her time.
Yan Cheng chose a seat at the table opposite her, not sitting together, like two strangers.
The boss came out and looked at the two people. He seemed to understand but also seemed not to understand.
He raised his mouth. It was common for young people nowadays to quarrel with each other, and they were used to it.
"Have some."
His voice was a little low, very different from the smiling man that day.
In fact, he was not really that talkative, he was just particularly talkative with her.
He lowered his head and scrolled through his phone, not looking at her the whole time, just as she wished.
In fact, being rejected is not a shameful thing, so there is no need for him to hold a grudge.
An Qi retracted her gaze and fixed it on the wontons in her bowl. If it was destined to be a beginning without an end, then this was fine.
Yan Cheng raised his eyes and looked at her, but she didn't know.
There was no communication between the two people, which was completely different from the first time when they had a great conversation. This time it seemed like a real way to open up.
The wontons here are heartwarming, thoughtful, and touching. They are a mixture of all kinds of flavors and emotions. This is what life is all about. Savoring it slowly is what life is all about.
Anqi ate slowly, but he ate quickly. Maybe he felt suffocated, so he finished his meal in just two or three bites.
He ate too quickly, paid and walked out.
An Qi didn't understand if this was because of her?
He looks so carefree, but he can't be so stingy, right?
"Boss, check out."
There was still more than half a bowl left, and she couldn't eat it anymore.
"Someone just got married."
The boss looked at her with a smile, as if he said something but she didn't understand.
An Qi looked in the direction of the door, picked up her bag and chased after him.
He didn't walk far, less than a few dozen meters.
"You wait."
An Qi called him, but he didn't even turn his head.
