Take out the money for buying flowers first, so I won't have to ask Xiao Minxing for it later.
But with this, it seems like I didn't spend much on the two Gifts. Is it too cheap to be a big spender?
It took a lot of effort to get the card; I can't just end it like this. I need to let loose and spend a little to relieve my frustration.
People are truly the most greedy, especially women. I spent so long at Xiao Family without seeing a single penny, and now that he has given me money, I want to spend even more.
There was a time when he wouldn't speak to me for half a month. Aside from the sounds of "thump thump" at night, the whole house was silent. But now that he talks to me, I hope everything he says is sweet.
I haven't shopped in so long that I don't even know what I want to buy. Besides, we have everything at home. Almost everything I can think of Xiao Minxing would buy back, and some things I've never even used.
However, nightfall arrived as I wandered around. The streetlights lit up one after another, and the colorful lights of each store illuminated the city's prosperity.
Wrapped in the crowd, I didn't want to return to my cold home so soon and just roamed around.
I happened to pass by a newly opened bar where young boys and girls dressed in hip-hop style and sporting unique makeup were energetically handing out flyers and friendly inviting people inside.
I suddenly felt interested and called Mina, asking her to come over for drinks.
She had just finished work and really drove over.
Both of us were in good spirits, especially since the atmosphere in this bar wasn't as noisy as others that gave you a headache. It was relatively quiet here, and on a low stage in the corner stood a singer with an unusual hairstyle, slowly singing with great emotion.
The colorful drinks in the cups emitted a brilliant light, reflecting Mina's beautiful face.
She gently tapped me and said, "You're different today. What happened?"
I just smiled foolishly at her and asked what was different.
She laughed and shook her head, then after a moment of silence, she said, "Anyway, it's different. It feels like you've been nourished by love."
I playfully hit her with my other hand and teased, "You, a woman without a man, how would you understand the nourishment of love? You're just talking nonsense."
She swirled the drink in her cup and said, "Just because you haven't eaten pork doesn't mean you haven't seen a pig run. It's obvious; your face is blooming."
I placed my hand on my face; my hand was cool while my face was hot, creating a stark contrast that cleared my mind considerably.
Is it because of Xiao Minxing?
I've always loved him, but he doesn't love me back. Where would this nourishment come from?
I couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh, shaking off those thoughts and looking up at Mina.
Her expression was also strange; her eyes were hazy as she stared at the boy singing with half-closed eyes, saying nothing.
"Do you have something on your mind?" I asked her.
She pouted and said, "Who doesn't have their own worries? At this age, if you don't have anything on your mind, what's the difference between you and a fool?"
That's true. We always want to live simply and clearly, but life is not like that.
In the end, we all have our own concerns.
Mina didn't say anything, and I didn't want to press her. She is different from me; she has her own thoughts and is very decisive. She never drags her feet when it comes to doing things, cutting through emotions cleanly and decisively.
In her words, if you don't love someone, then you don't love them. Why drag it out? It only wastes your time and hurts others.
Sometimes I wonder what it would be like if Xiao Minxing were like her.
What if he cut off all my hopes with one stroke, divorced me, stopped all contact, and then completely disappeared from my life? Would I start a new life and fall in love with someone else?
But he doesn't do that. He doesn't love me, yet he won't let me go. Day and night, we are trapped together, tormenting each other.
