Do you want to give up - Meng Huiyuan

ILOVEYOU - Yu Takahashi

Dozens of steaming mutton kebabs are piled up on the iron plate in front of them, and the chili and cumin brush is thicker than the city wall.The canopy above the head reflected a pale green light under the reflection of the small light bulb, and the rainwater gathered and flowed along the pressed gullies.Meng Meiqi and Fu Jing were sitting opposite each other, surrounded by uncles drinking shirtless or students crossing their shoulders. Across the street was a large shopping mall with disturbing music playing. It was bustling with people.

Fu Jing took a sip of beer and ordered the plate with the bamboo stick after eating: "You asked me to come here to stare at you?"

Originally, Fu Jing was on a diet recently, and she would never eat after seven o'clock in the evening.I finally made up my mind, but after persisting for a day, I was recruited by a frustrating phone call from Meng Meiqi. It's fine to make an appointment in such a greedy place, but I can still gain two catties by drinking saliva It's past ten o'clock.Seeing the opposite Meng who had no appetite at all, Fu Jing couldn't help feeling angry.

Meng Meiqi didn't eat, and since she sat down, she looked gloomy and gloomy, with her chin resting on her knees with her hands, her eyebrows almost twitched.

"I don't know how to say it." Meng Meiqi sighed: "It's so annoying."

Fu Jing shrugged and said, "Aren't you busy with your internship recently? What's the matter? What happened to that perverted boss?"

Meng Meiqi shook her head: "It's not about this."

"Strange." Fu Jing took a bite of the mutton: "Who can make you so sad."

Meng Meiqi didn't answer, she raised her eyes and met Fu Jing's gaze.Fu Jing ate the mutton skewers and reacted for two seconds, then jumped up and grabbed Meng Meiqi by the collar: "Damn it! What did you do to Wu Xuanyi?"

Meng Meiqi patted Fu Jing's hand helplessly: "It's not a big deal, it's just... I don't know what to say."

Fu Jing loosened her collar and said, "Be clear."

Meng Meiqi sighed again, and said quietly: "I made her angry."

Fu Jing reacted for another two seconds, almost wanting to point at Meng Meiqi's nose and scold her: "Wu Xuanyi is such a good-tempered person, how can you still make her angry? What crime have you done?"

Meng Meiqi moved her lips, as if organizing her words.Seeing her embarrassed expression, Fu Jing lost her voice and said, "Are you cheating?"

The surroundings were quiet for a moment, and a few eyes were projected over.Meng Meiqi felt ashamed of embarrassment, and said in a low voice: "Shut up, how can I!"

Fu Jing said anxiously: "Then you should speak quickly! Who are you embarrassed with here? Are you afraid that I will beat you or something?"

Meng Meiqi rubbed her hair irritably, and finally spoke slowly.

The recent internship company is extremely xenophobic, and the attitude and treatment of newcomers are very bad. Newcomers can only do some errand work, or deal with complicated, huge and boring data. Almost every newcomer will lose their skin.If Meng Meiqi was just an ordinary newcomer, it would be fine if she just worked honestly every day, but she was beautiful, and she was the one who stood out the most when she stood in the crowd, and she was naturally appreciated by the big boss and jealousy of others.She also didn't know when she became the object of crowding out. In short, after losing the water glass inexplicably some time ago, she began to realize that the problem was serious.

Meng Meiqi can be regarded as a newcomer who has just entered the society, and has never been exposed to so many intrigues and intrigues.This suddenly tore away the pure and harmless life surface of the university, and entered the intricate social dye vat. I really didn't get used to it for a while, and was irritated by those small details that were not serious but very sad.

You can ignore the bosses who are not in the same department, but you can't bypass the colleagues who work in the same office. Sometimes their unintentional words are full of guns, not to mention the hard work of crowding out.

Her life circle is actually quite simple. Friends who can usually chat to relieve depression are now in the busy period of life.Wu Xuanyi's company is also busy, and there is not much time to rest every day. Meng Meiqi doesn't want to burden her with fearlessness.With no one to confide in, this annoyance had nowhere to vent, and after enduring it, it finally broke out on this heavy raining night.

"Meiqi, what's the matter?" Wu Xuanyi put down his chopsticks and asked softly.

Meng Meiqi withdrew her gaze from the window and replied, "It's nothing."

After eating quietly for a while, Wu Xuanyi suddenly said: "If there is anything unhappy, you must tell me."

It was raining outside the window, and the leaden gray sky made people feel stuffy and breathless.Holding the chopsticks, Meng Meiqi relaxed a tight place in her heart, and then tightened suddenly.She subconsciously wanted to sigh, but when it reached her throat, she swallowed it back, shook her head and repeated: "It's nothing."

Wu Xuanyi slowed down eating, and said, "I'm asking for leave tonight..."

"Aren't you going to change the document tonight?" Meng Meiqi interrupted: "Hurry up, don't delay work."

Wu Xuanyi stopped her chopsticks, and rubbed the tablecloth with her left index finger resting on the edge of the table.Meng Meiqi buried her head in the rice, as if she wanted to pick some invisible things into her stomach with chopsticks and digest them.She hasn't slept well recently, she is not very energetic, and looks irritable and anxious.Wu Xuanyi said softly, "Meiqi, have you been too tired recently?"

The sigh was still not suppressed, and it overflowed from his throat. At the same time, Meng Meiqi's irritated words came out: "I'm not tired at all."

"Meiqi..." Wu Xuanyi considered the words: "I'm going to ask for a vacation tonight, so let's go out and relax together, shall we?"

"No, can you stop talking!"

It wasn't until the words came out that she realized what she had said. Meng Meiqi rubbed the center of her brows. The guilt overwhelmed the turbulent emotions in her heart. She gritted her teeth and waited for a while before whispering, "I'm sorry."

Wu Xuanyi stood up, walked to Meng Meiqi and knelt down slowly, put her right hand on her knee and stroked it gently: "It's okay, Meiqi, can you tell me something?"

Old and new memories burst out together, Meng Meiqi frowned, a little difficult to control the negative emotions swelling in her heart, and said bluntly: "You don't care about me, I don't need you now."

As soon as these words came out, Wu Xuanyi's calm expression rippled for a while, her right hand on her knee subconsciously clenched into a fist, and the tip of her brow furrowed.

For the first time in history, Meng Meiqi saw disappointment in those clear eyes that only left her alone.

Not daring to meet her eyes at the moment, Meng Meiqi turned her head away, the muscles on her face stiffened together.She heard Wu Xuanyi's deep breathing, and lowered her head even lower.

"Don't need me?" Wu Xuanyi seemed to be struggling to say these four simple words.

Suddenly, Meng Meiqi felt like a stick in her throat, and her heart became flustered.She knew she should say or do something now, but rust seemed to form in her mind and joints, and she couldn't move at all.

Seemingly hearing a choked sob, Wu Xuanyi stood up, turned around and walked into the bedroom, closing the door.

Meng Meiqi was useless, what she could see was the dinner on the table, Wu Xuanyi studied the exquisite dishes bit by bit from the recipes, and she never let Meng Meiqi touch the kitchen area, whether it was cooking or washing dishes.With a sore nose, the sudden relaxation and overwhelming guilt pressed down, making Meng Meiqi feel so distressed that she couldn't even sigh.

The rain outside the window was getting heavier, and the sound of clattering hit the eardrums dullly.Meng Meiqi buried her face in her palms, feeling like crying.

She couldn't deal with the restless and depressed emotions, so she threw all the bad things on the person who loved her deeply, because she firmly believed that only she would not leave, and only she would tolerate herself unconditionally.After realizing this, Meng Meiqi held her head, never feeling that she was so despicable and powerless.

Why have I been like this for so many years.

"So... you ran out now?" Fu Jing asked in disbelief.

Meng Meiqi nodded, and after all the words were spoken, it fell down limply like a deflated rubber ball.

Fu Jing took out her mobile phone and looked at it, then asked, "Do you know what date it is today?"

Meng Meiqi has been annoyed by various things recently. She didn't pay attention to the time at all. She shook her head and said, "I didn't pay attention, what's wrong?"

Fu Jing put the phone back, clicked her tongue, and said, "I can't help you, please do your best."

Meng Meiqi lowered her head and lost her energy again.

She tried to ask other people for help, but the answer was really horrible.

Yang Sangni: "What the hell?! What the hell?! Last time that big beauty was your girlfriend!? What the hell! You really are hiding something!"

Cheng Jieling: "I don't know, get lost."

Yang Chaoyue: "Hey, Mr. Chen is so cute."

At this moment, she really didn't know what to do.

I don't know how long it took to finish the meal. Fu Jing, a little heartless person, went shopping in the general market as soon as she was full.The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and she didn't bring an umbrella when she came. Meng Meiqi stood under the awning, looking at the small shiny light bulb, slightly lost in thought.

The cold wind in October was a bit freezing, and Meng Meiqi unconsciously shivered twice, only to realize that her fingers were so cold that she couldn't feel it.Putting her hands in her pockets, Meng Meiqi turned around to ask the shopkeeper if she could borrow an umbrella, but the empty tables suddenly hurt her eyes.For some reason, the barbecue stall was empty. The waiter was cleaning up the paper towels and bamboo sticks on the table, and the owner also started to take down the unsold mutton, preparing to close the stall.

When did everyone leave?

Why did you leave so silently?

There was a panic when he didn't come, and Meng Meiqi took out her mobile phone tremblingly, wanting to call Wu Xuanyi, but when the dialing page was brought up, it stopped again.

If she told her where she was at the moment, even if she was angry, she would definitely run over to give her an umbrella in the rain, but Meng Meiqi didn't want her to do that.

Putting the sweater hat on her head, Meng Meiqi tightened her clothes and plunged into the rain curtain.

Looking at the sea from a distance, you will only feel that it is beautiful and vast. Only when you get close to it will you know how cold and dangerous the sea is.Meng Meiqi ran in the rain, and somehow thought of this sentence.

A vehicle speeding past on the side of the road brought up a wall of water and smashed it hard on Meng Meiqi's body. Most of her clothes were soaked immediately, and the irresistible air-conditioning went straight into her body. All gone.

Dizzy, he ran back to the downstairs of the community, looked up at the only light that was on in the building, took out his phone and checked the time, the white string of numbers was a little unclear behind the water curtain where the rain gathered and flowed , Meng Meiqi wiped it with her wet sleeve, and blinked to see the time clearly.

Eleven forty-six.Did she stay out that long?Meng Meiqi laughed silently, wondering if it was because of too much rain, her temples began to throb and hurt, and the sound of the rain seemed to be magnified many times, echoing in her ears.

It's time to go home, and these four words are left in Meng Meiqi's mind. When she raised her foot and was about to walk forward, the bend of her leg softened, and she almost fell down.

The crackling raindrops on his body suddenly disappeared, and the hand on his waist carried strength and warmth that made people attached.Meng Meiqi didn't look up, but she could relax and lean against her arms.Greedyly sniffing the scent of her neck, her hands unconsciously climbed onto the man's shoulders, feeling her body trembling slightly from the cold rain on her body, Meng Meiqi murmured: "Xuanyi... ..”

In a trance, I heard a soft sigh, falling on my ear.

When she was a little conscious, Meng Meiqi found that she was brought to the hospital and was lying on the hospital bed. Her clothes had been changed, and she was dripping on the back of her hand. She was limp and weak.

The ceiling seemed to be rotating slightly, and all the sounds in her ears were amplified. Meng Meiqi blinked, and her eyes slid to the left. Wu Xuanyi was sitting beside the hospital bed, holding her hand that was not dripped, thinking about it What.

Meng Meiqi moved her throat and held her hands with her palms.Wu Xuanyi woke up like a dream, came back to her senses, smiled palely at her, pulled out her hand without a trace, and put her hand into the quilt.

"The doctor said that you have been a little too sad recently, you should take a good rest." Wu Xuanyi took a deep breath after saying this, and then continued: "I will ask the doctor if there is anything that needs attention. wait."

Grabbing her sleeve before she got up, Meng Meiqi struggled to sit up and begged softly, "Don't go."

Meng Meiqi shook her sleeves and said softly, "Don't go, please."

Wu Xuanyi's back was a little stiff, but she didn't take the step to leave after all.

Meng Meiqi said cautiously: "You just sit here and don't go anywhere."

After a long time, Wu Xuanyi nodded.

Meng Meiqi breathed a sigh of relief, and somehow thought of the scene of the empty barbecue stall. She felt a stabbing pain in her heart. Enduring the lingering headache, she got up from the bed and hugged Wu Xuanyi who was sitting by the bed.This movement was a little sudden, but Wu Xuanyi didn't react, and subconsciously grabbed Meng Meiqi's right hand that was pierced with an IV, and pressed the needle on the back of her hand firmly, before raising the other hand to wrap around her waist and support her And some soft body.

"I feel like after I'm with you, I'm always saying sorry to you, once or twice, many times. I'm like a child who hasn't grown up. I always get you into trouble like this, and I can't handle it well. Those negative emotions, I don’t want to make you tired but always backfired, and this time it made you angry..."

After hugging quietly for a while, the atmosphere was so peaceful that one's heart also calmed down.Wu Xuanyi said softly: "I'm not angry, I'm just afraid that one day, you will really not want me."

The heart seemed to be grabbed by someone, and the hurting person couldn't breathe. Meng Meiqi hugged her tighter, trying to make herself laugh: "I'm all yours, why don't you want me?"

"En." Wu Xuanyi said: "You must hold on to me and don't let go."

The lights in the hospital were a bit bright, even if Meng Meiqi closed her eyes, she could still feel the whiteness of her eyelids. She suddenly remembered the small corner in the infirmary that she deliberately isolated during military training. Sincerely, she was just angry at why Wu Xuanyi didn't take good care of herself, and why she wronged herself to stay in a place that didn't suit her at all.After getting angry, I got her gentle answer, just like now, like many times in the past, no matter what her emotions were, she got her gentle tolerance and response.

"Meiqi."

"kindness?"

"Happy birthday."

The dark corners of the memory were cleared out, Meng Meiqi chuckled twice, her eyes filled with moisture again: "What should I do, I love you more and more."

Wu Xuanyi looked into her eyes and said word by word: "I wish you could love me to death."

The temperature in her arms gradually rose, and Meng Meiqi knelt on the hospital bed, looking down at the face that haunted her in dreams, with slender eyebrows, clear eyes, high nose bridge and attractive curved lips. With the gradually scorching heat, tracing from the tip of the eyebrows to the corners of the lips.The hands belonging to Wu Xuanyi on the waist slowly tightened, Meng Meiqi narrowed her eyes, found the position of her lips and kissed them hard.

The curtain separating the beds was pulled open suddenly, and the sister nurse's icy voice cut in: "I got the injection."

Meng Meiqi bounced away instantly as if being burned by fire, her face was steaming with embarrassment, and she didn't know where to put her hands and feet.Wu Xuanyi was fine, but her earlobes were also stained with cherry pink.

The nurse seemed to be aware of what she was interrupting, but exiting now would only make people feel more embarrassed, so she pretended not to see anything, and dryly took out a syringe: "Student Shanzhi, you got an injection."

Why does Wu Xuanyi call herself Shanzhi every time she gets angry? Meng Meiqi was thinking about it, and suddenly reacted: "Injection???"

The nurse nodded, pulled off the cap of the syringe and flicked it, and was about to come over.Meng Meiqi's three souls lost her seven souls in an instant, and her mouth turned into a machine gun that could only say nothing.What she was most afraid of since she was a child was injections. Every time she saw the sharp needles, she would turn pale with fright. She would rather get ten needles on the back of her hand than one later. She thought that she would not have to suffer like this when she grew up. To face this childhood shadow again.

Seeing that the nurse was serious, Meng Meiqi couldn't think of anything at once, she got into Wu Xuanyi's arms and hugged her tightly: "Xuanyi!!! I don't want it!!!"

Wu Xuanyi hugged her helplessly, looked at the nurse who was trying to ignore her, and asked, "Do you have to get an injection?"

The nurse said blankly, "Yes, she's still burning."

Wu Xuanyi caressed a certain little guy who was shaking in his arms, leaned closer and said softly: "I need an injection to get better soon, I'll be here with you, okay?"

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...

Meng Meiqi felt that her face was completely lost in front of Wu Xuanyi.
