Know Yourself in the Dragon World

Chapter 400: Poetry and Wine in the Prime of Life (6)

"Well..." Chen Wenwen nodded, the bitterness in her smile slowly faded away, she smiled calmly, "I used him as a tool and took advantage of his love for me. He knew what I was thinking at the time, but he still clashed with Zhao Menghua for me."

"He did it not for you, but for the self who loved you so much back then." Han Qiu corrected.

Chen Wenwen nodded again, "Yes, that's when I realized how far he had come. He was no longer the boy I had deceived. Lu Mingfei is really outstanding. Seriously, he is also very kind."

"If he were here and heard you say that, his face would probably turn red like a monkey's butt." Han Qiu's words brought the atmosphere back to a cheerful state.

But the atmosphere was already very pleasant, and Chen Wenwen did not show any sadness.

She said this frankly and sincerely.

She felt there was nothing to be embarrassed about admitting, especially since Su Xiaoqiang and Han Qiu were old friends.

Since we are talking about the past, let’s talk about the past.

The courage to talk about it means facing it, even though Han Qiu and Su Xiaoqiang are suspected of speaking in clichés.

"That shouldn't be the case, right?" Chen Wenwen suspected that Han Qiu's words were exaggerated.

"I don't know, maybe. That guy still doesn't have a girlfriend." Han Qiu shook his head. "Poor guy."

"You don't have one either, don't you? Why are you laughing at him?" Su Xiaoqiang mocked, "I used to say that Lu Mingfei was a monkey wearing a suit, and now you look more like a monkey."

"I am a monkey and also Sun Dasheng." Han Qiu jumped onto the chair flexibly, posing like Sun Wukong looking into the distance, and glanced at Su Xiaoqiang and Chen Wenwen: "I found two single beauties, they can be captured!"

"Roll, roll, roll, the capture failed!" Su Xiaoqiang made a cross with his hands.

"Well...I have a boyfriend." Chen Wenwen said.

Han Qiu and Su Xiaoqiang looked at each other and got the same guess from each other's eyes.

"That boy just now?" Han Qiu sat down on the chair.

"That guy looks more reliable than Zhao Menghua." Su Xiaoqiang commented.

Chen Wenwen shook her head. "It's not him. He is in the same group as me. We were discussing the project on the way."

"Who is that? Who is he?" Han Qiu was too lazy to use the power of cause and effect to investigate.

Su Xiaoqiang didn't care about that. "It's okay as long as it's not Zhao Menghua. Zhao Menghua just broke up with you and he went to find Liu Miaomiao. It's really too much."

"This is called seamless connection," Han Qiu explained.

"Whatever. You have a lot of naughty words and new lyrics." Su Xiaoqiang always hears some words and songs he has never heard of from Han Qiu.

Chen Wenwen didn't say anything for a long time, just smiled casually.

It was beyond Han Qiu's expectation that the somewhat timid and sad Chen Wenwen could actually use such a smile.

He guessed something. He should have guessed it when Chen Wenwen sat here quietly and frankly admitted her past mistakes.

At this point, Han Qiu has already had a certain understanding of cause and effect.

Su Xiaoqiang also noticed Chen Wenwen's smile, and she realized that things were not that simple.

This is the girl's intuition, but she doesn't know how simple it is and has no idea.

"Who is he? Do we know him?" Su Xiaoqiang reached out and poked Chen Wenwen's arm.

"Zhao Menghua." Chen Wenwen said casually.

Smile casually and speak casually.

Su Xiaoqiang froze all over, the embarrassment on her face almost falling to the ground. A minute ago she was still talking about Zhao Menghua.

She felt that Chen Wenwen was crazy and the world was crazy.

"Are you kidding?" she asked.

This is supposed to be a joke, right? she thought.

But Chen Wenwen said: "I'm not kidding. After he came out of the mental hospital and before he started traveling, we started a new relationship. You may think I'm stupid, right?"

Su Xiaoqiang wanted to say: Girl, you are so stupid. It is said that a good horse never turns back to the old stable. Even if you, Chen Wenwen, are not a good horse, you would not do such a thing, right?

Really, because of this incident, Su Xiaoqiang thinks it wouldn’t be abstract for Chen Wenwen to say her boyfriend is Lu Mingfei.

Yes, abstract, which is a word Han Qiu often uses to describe a person or a thing as outrageous.

"Uh..." Han Qiu scratched his head, "President, do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

"The truth." Chen Wenwen was drunk and her eyebrows turned red.

"Stupid, really stupid." Han Qiu gulped down a large glass of wine. "Strangely stupid! But I don't think you are stupid at all now. You don't seem like someone who can do such a thing."

"I'll drink a glass too. The words are in the wine. Wenwen, we are all girls, so I won't express my opinion." Su Xiaoqiang also drank a glass, but after putting the glass down, he couldn't help but said, "Wenwen, why? Shouldn't you hate him for the way he is?"

"After that incident, I hated him very much. I felt that I was blind to like him in the beginning. I also felt that Liu Miaomiao and Su Xiaoqiang were blind too." Chen Wenwen smiled to herself, "But the more I hate him, the more I love him. I can't deny that kind of love. After school started in the second half of last year, I tried my best to restrain myself from thinking about him for a long time. Later I heard that he had an accident, got sick, and was admitted to a mental hospital. Han Qiu should know about this. Later, Zhao Menghua told me that you, Lu Mingfei, and Senior Chu Zihang went to see him together."

"Yeah." Han Qiu nodded, "Su Xiaoqiang also knows."

"I didn't go to see him." Su Xiaoqiang emphasized.

After emphasizing this, Su Xiaoqiang regretted it. Forget it, he decided to keep silent and let Han Qiu speak.

Chen Wenwen propped her chin with one hand, her cheeks flushed. "When I found out about that incident, I was devastated. You may not believe it. I was really devastated at that time. When I saw the news in the newspaper and Zhao Menghua's photo, the past that I had suppressed for a long time came flooding out like a flood. I simply can't forget or let go of the past. Those memories are beautiful, even if there is some unhappiness, but they are still beautiful. I have had them, and I cannot deny that kind of beauty."

Han Qiu tasted the wine silently while Su Xiaoqiang fiddled with the plate with chopsticks.

Chen Wenwen continued: "A few days after I saw the news, I felt like I was sick. I was not in the right state to do anything. My brain was out of control and I couldn't stop thinking. I couldn't stay rational. Reason told me not to go to see him, it was not worth it, but I still wanted to go. I was afraid that the situation last summer would happen again. He was in the ward and Liu Miaomiao was taking care of him. It would be embarrassing for me to show up suddenly, and it would also make them dislike and hate me."

"But you still went." Han Qiu guessed the ending.

"Well, after struggling to the end, reason finally gave in. I went to see him. He was about to be discharged from the hospital at that time. He was sitting alone in the ward, staring at the sky outside the window in a daze. Liu Miaomiao was not there. Later, I learned that Liu Miaomiao had not come to see him when he was in trouble. She only called a few times to show concern, which seemed perfunctory." Chen Wenwen's eyes suddenly lit up. "It was an evening. He was looking at the sky outside the window, and I was peeking at him outside the door. The moment it was completely dark, he sighed, and the lights in the ward came on, scaring him to shiver. If it weren't for that face, I wouldn't believe he was Zhao Menghua. He was very different from the Zhao Menghua in my memory. He was completely different from the Zhao Menghua in high school."
