If love can be booked

Chapter 4: Learning to be alone

Some people say that if you want to forget unhappy things, there is only one way, which is to keep yourself busy. Let's do a big cleaning. I think I just did it at noon today. The most diligent thing is to do a big cleaning. It is spotless, which highlights the emptiness. So what to do? Go to the supermarket, buy some vegetables, and cook. It should be a good way to kill time.

I took out my phone and went out. There were a lot of people in the vegetable market. I saw uncles and aunts smiling and selecting their favorite things in the food area. I was alone, wandering between the shelves. Wherever I looked, I saw fresh vegetables: emerald green tofu, water spinach, fresh chrysanthemum, broccoli, and white wild rice stem, enoki mushrooms and potatoes. I picked some at random. Although I didn't need too much for a meal alone, the fun of cooking lies in this. When eating alone, I eat very little and I'm too lazy to cook. It's just that I'm used to eating street snacks and I'm a little tired of it. Occasionally, I'll do it to change my taste.

The sound of keys turning, changing shoes, clock, half past six, turn on the stereo, let the soft music flow slowly... go into the kitchen.

While stewing tomatoes and potatoes, my thoughts could not help but drift to him, Chu Haoyang. Does he really think that I don't need him at all? He didn't even know to make a phone call.

We never mentioned the word "break up", but I know that our relationship is not a normal relationship. We never quarreled because he was always too busy to argue with me. Sometimes, I really wanted to give up, but every time I surrendered to his gentle embrace, but he never took the next step. He always said that those intimate things should wait until after marriage. I foolishly believed his words, but ignored my inner desire.

Is the taste of unrequited love really so bitter?

Finally, I called him. "Hello, Haoyang, what are you doing? I prepared dinner." Recently, I always feel that something is wrong between us. On the other end of the phone, his voice is a little tired: "Baby, I'm a little busy recently." I hung up the phone, feeling mixed emotions. I miss him, but I can't say it. He is always busy. I turned the rice in the pot and lost interest.

In Su Miao's apartment, they had just had a candlelight dinner and were doing some post-meal exercise.

Looking back, if he had persisted a little longer, perhaps the current situation would be different. But who could refuse his persistent request? At that time, he begged me to take care of Shen Wanning on his behalf. Even though he was unwilling at first, he persisted and even knelt down to beg. He told himself that he could not continue to take care of her due to his illness, so he could only entrust this responsibility to himself. In the end, he left silently without telling Shen Wanning the truth because he really couldn't bear it.

I was moved by his persistence and sincerity, and agreed to take care of Shen Wanning. Five years have passed, and my feelings for her have always been like those of a brother and sister, and I have never thought of crossing the line. Because I know her strength and stubbornness, I have never had the heart to hurt her. However, is it inevitable that I have hurt her now?

"Tell me, when are you going to tell Shen Wanning?" On the other hand, Su Miao, as Chu Haoyang's colleague and lover, was also filled with anxiety. She knew Chu Haoyang's situation well and understood his inner struggle.

Su Miao, as an administrative specialist, works in the same department as Chu Haoyang. She struggles quietly as a white-collar worker in the bustling city, but she has a special affection for Chu Haoyang. Two years ago, Chu Haoyang came to T City alone. The two supported each other at work and went through ups and downs. Their feelings quickly warmed up quietly. It was not until last month that they officially established a romantic relationship.

But she knew his situation and she understood him.

Although they were in love with each other, Chu Haoyang was reluctant to take the decisive step. Finally, under Su Miao's questioning, he revealed his true feelings. It turned out that he already had someone to take care of and could no longer take care of Su Miao. Faced with this reality, although Su Miao was heartbroken, she chose to understand and give in.

However, that night, Chu Haoyang's true feelings after getting drunk became an indelible memory in Su Miao's heart. That night, he opened his heart to her and revealed his deep secrets. It was also that night that Su Miao decided to give her heart to him. In her opinion, Chu Haoyang is a man worth entrusting her life to, and she is willing to believe that he can handle her private affairs.

However, love is selfish after all, and Su Miao is no exception. She doesn't want to share her man with another woman. She is not that great. She just wants to love Chu Haoyang purely and accompany him through every stage of his life. Although she chose not to interfere in his private affairs, her inner struggle and contradiction never stopped.

"Baby, don't be impatient." He comforted her softly. Sometimes, he thought that delaying like this was not a long-term solution and was unfair to her. But every time he returned to her side and saw her eyes full of dependence, he couldn't say no. He couldn't bear to let her suffer any harm.

"How can I not be anxious? I don't want our child to be born without a father." Su Miao turned around with a hint of dissatisfaction in her tone. She was originally a spoiled young lady, but now she seemed to be destroying other people's families, which made her feel very helpless.

"I know, I know." He responded softly. Perhaps, some things are unavoidable after all. They can postpone things from happening, but they can't prevent them from coming. Reality is always so cruel that people can't avoid it.

"You always treat me like this, it's annoying." Su Miao pretended to be angry. However, who could she blame? She was just a woman who longed for love and longed for his true love.

"Okay, okay, I was wrong." He apologized softly. In the world of love, perhaps there is no absolute right or wrong. What is important is the understanding and tolerance between each other.

As the night deepens, the moon is still hanging on the treetops, quietly casting its faint light, as if it is silently watching over the couple.
