God Made Incompatibility - Chapter 38
The morning light shone brightly on the earth, Meng Wanji ran back in the morning top-heavy, and there was the smell of fireworks in the dormitory.
Sheng Jinshu is back.
She changed clothes, tied her long curly hair, and stood in front of the counter in an apron that was rarely used by both of them. Hearing the door open, she turned around and smiled at her: “Are you back? Just in time, my breakfast is ready.”
There was imperceptible tiredness in her eyes, but her eyes were soft and bright.
Meng Wanji could see the meaning of her apology.
The nose seems to be more difficult to breathe.
Meng Wanji closed the door and nodded lightly.
Sheng Jinshu brought the breakfast out of the kitchen. It was a typical Western-style breakfast. Toast, fried eggs, bacon, ham, lettuce, coffee… The dishes were beautifully arranged and the fragrance filled the room.
Meng Wanji was not polite and sat down opposite her.
“If you don’t drink coffee, you also have milk and oatmeal.” Sheng Jinshu was considerate.
Meng Wanji didn’t care. She moved the coffee cup and said, “No, coffee is fine.”
Sheng Jinshu looked at her, frowned and asked, “Have you caught a cold?”
Meng Wanji paused while rubbing her fingertips on the ear of the coffee cup.
She looked up at Sheng Jinshu, and there was genuine concern in Sheng Jins book. The barriers that Meng Wanji had built overnight were silently crumbling again.
She loosened up and replied, “A little bit, take the medicine later.”
Sheng Jinshu naturally stretched out her hand and took her coffee cup away. “Don’t drink coffee when you have a cold, I’ll make milk for you.”
She went into the bedroom to get the milk powder, and then bent over to brew in front of the water dispenser, everything was done smoothly and casually. The neckline of the turtleneck held her face, making her look so warm.
Meng Wanji curled up her fingertips and asked her with the remaining irrationality, “How is your friend?”
She tried to convince herself that maybe Sheng Jinshu could give her a reasonable and acceptable explanation.
But Sheng Jinshu did not.
Her mood was obviously low, but she still just avoided the important points: “The work is a little serious, but it should be fine. The main reason is that emotional problems and work problems broke out together, and the mood is relatively bad.”
Meng Wanji asked, “Emotional issues?”
Sheng Jinshu put the milk lightly in front of her and explained: “She broke up with her partner, and it was very unpleasant.”
Not clearly stated. After all, whether it is the risk of AIDS infection caused by occupational exposure or the pursuit and communication that Mei Ruchao chooses due to revenge, it is Shen Tinghua’s personal privacy.
Meng Wanji’s heart was completely cold.
So that’s why she didn’t come back last night?
Because your ex broke up?
A faint self-mockery appeared in her eyes, “Then you can spend more time with her.”
Sheng Jinshu’s mind was inevitably hooked back to worrying about Shen Tinghua. In just half a month, Shen Tinghua has lost weight because of the blocking drug reaction and psychological pressure. And two weeks before the first inspection…
She missed Meng Wanji’s emotions and replied absentmindedly, “Well.”
Meng Wanji didn’t want to say anything more.
She lowered her head to eat breakfast quietly, Sheng Jinshu lost her mind for half a minute, finally regained her mind, and invited Meng Wanji: “I was so embarrassed last night, tonight, would you give me a chance to apologize?”
Meng Wanji slowly cut a small piece of sandwich with a knife and fork, thought for a moment, then raised her eyes and said, “Tomorrow night? I invite you.”
Sheng Jinshu was slightly stunned.
Meng Wanji said, “Take you a taste of what I like. Don’t I still owe you a meal?”
Sheng Jinshu thought she was responding to the sentence she said yesterday, “Take you a taste of what I’ve eaten.” She didn’t think much about it, she was even more relaxed, and raised her red lips to tease: “So good? I’ll do it all. You are ready to default.”
Meng Wanji nodded lightly.
Sheng Jinshu’s smile deepened, and he bargained: “Then when I owe you a meal first?”
Meng Wanji knew that she wanted them to owe them back and forth, endless thoughts, but it was already indispensable. She smiled but did not respond, let her interpret.
That afternoon, Meng Wanji checked the price of the necklace that Sheng Jinshu gave her and the location of the brand’s counter in Ningcheng, and took a taxi in the evening. She chose a necklace that was similar in style and price to the one Sheng Jinshu gave her, and she packed it up and took it back to the dormitory.
The next night, she led Sheng Jinshu to dinner at a private kitchen in the alleys near Ningwai as promised.
The private restaurant has a small storefront and simple decoration. The overall environment is clean and warm. Although the dishes are not as delicate as those of high-end restaurants outside, the taste is surprising. The ingredients are fresh and the method is authentic. Ningcheng home cooking.
She filled a bowl of soup, looked at the tables full of people around her, and asked Meng Wanji with a smile, “Jiuxiang is really not afraid of the deep alley. How did you find out here?”
Meng Wanji actually didn’t have an appetite, but she liked it when she read Sheng Jinshu, so she didn’t stop her chopsticks and ate with her.
She should: “Once a classmate brought it here.”
Sheng Jinshu asked casually, “A high school classmate?”
Meng Wanji nodded.
Sheng Jinshu suddenly felt a little soft and curious when he thought of the relationship he had with her in high school.
“Isn’t it all closed in high school? Why do you come out to eat?” She asked about her high school story.
Meng Wanji responded: “I don’t go home occasionally on weekends. I go to the bookstore with my roommates, and then stop by for dinner.”
“Will you go shopping?”
“sometimes.”
Sheng Jinshu asked, “Where do you usually go?”
Meng Wanji responded, “It’s over at Xinfu Road. What’s wrong?”
Sheng Jinshu rolled her eyes and responded in a meaningful way: “I was wondering if it might be somewhere, we have passed by.”
Meng Wanji’s heartbeat trembled uncontrollably, and soon fell silent again.
She thought that Sheng Jinshu really didn’t remember her.
There is indeed only a passing fate between them.
She said lightly: “Ningwai is not prosperous, there are not many places to go, and it is not unusual to encounter it.”
Sheng Jinshu raised his eyebrows, noncommittal.
The topic was opened, and the two of them ate slowly and chatted slowly, which was considered to be a great time.
It was almost over, Meng Wanji wiped her hands with wet wipes, suddenly took out a sapphire blue jewelry box from her handbag, and pushed it to Sheng Jinshu’s hand.
Sheng Jinshu didn’t react: “What is this?”
Meng Wanji said concisely: “The necklace, for you.”
Sheng Jinshu blinked and smiled, “Why did you suddenly give me a gift?”
Meng Wanji explained: “The return gift for the previous birthday gift.”
Sheng Jinshu laughed: “But my birthday hasn’t come yet.”
Meng Wanji calmly repeated: “It’s a return gift.”
Sheng Jinshu looked at her suspiciously.
Meng Wanji didn’t have a smile on her face, her eyes were quiet, and she even showed indifference because she was too serious.
Sheng Jinshu’s nerves slowly received the signal.
She reacted, the smile faded from her face, and she frowned and asked, “What do you mean?”
Meng Wanji said, “That’s what you think it means.”
“I didn’t think about anything.” Sheng Jinshu said word by word slowly.
Meng Wanji stared at her, and after a while, she said, “We’ve cleared up.”
Sheng Jinshu’s eyes sank.
She looked at Meng Wanji deeply, as if she couldn’t believe it, and at the same time as if she wanted to see through her.
“This is your answer?” She said softly.
Meng Wanji also responded lightly, “Yes.”
Sheng Jinshu’s throat moved, her red lips pursed tightly. Meng Wanji thought she would ask something more, or at least fight for something more.
But in the end, Sheng Jinshu just laughed, her red lips raised again, and said calmly: “Yes, I respect your choice.”
Meng Wanji nodded in thanks.
A dignified and cold relationship resumed between them. This time, Sheng Jinshu seldom even returned to the dormitory. Meng Wanji guessed that she might have reunited with her ex-girlfriend.
She didn’t feel anything. It was only occasionally that she went out for a morning run in the morning, ate in the cafeteria at noon, and closed the door to sleep at night, and the image of Sheng Jinshu swaying enchantingly and laughing by her side in those days suddenly came to mind.
It feels like a dream.
Only the necklace lying on the bedside table told her that everything had really happened. Like the only witness to this ambiguity.
Christmas is Thursday, and it is Meng Wanji’s turn to supervise the repairs. When she was studying on her own, she was pestered by the students who gave her gifts for a while, and it was almost ten o’clock when she returned to the dormitory. At 10:30, she returned to her room after taking a shower, and as soon as she closed the door, she suddenly heard a sound of door closing in the living room, followed by a strange sound of things falling to the ground and cabinets being hit.
Meng Wanji’s heart tightened, knowing that Sheng Jinshu had probably returned, but she still pressed the phone number of the security room, held the phone, and opened the door lightly.
As soon as the door opened, Sheng Jinshu’s slender figure came into her eyes.
She was wearing a thin and gorgeous long dress, standing barefoot in the living room near the entrance, leaning against the wall as if groping for something.
The coat fell beside her high heels, and she didn’t even look at it.
“Where’s the switch?” she murmured.
Meng Wanji: “…”
The switch is on the other side.
Is she drunk?
Meng Wanji frowned, clutching her phone and quietly watching her give up after groping for a long time, turned around and walked into the living room.
The rug tripped over her and she nearly fell.
Meng Wanji couldn’t see, opened the door, and turned on the living room light.
Sheng Jinshu raised his hand to cover his eyes in fright, and after shaking for two seconds, he put down his hand and looked at Meng Wanji.
Meng Wanji had already walked beside her.
Under the bright light, Sheng Jinshu’s eyes were filled with drunkenness and blush, which made her already beautiful facial features even more charming and charming.
“It’s you…” She seemed to sigh with emotion.
Meng Wanji’s face was cold and she reached out to help her, “You are drunk.”
Sheng Jinshu gave a “uh” but didn’t struggle, just mumbled, “I’m not drunk.”
Meng Wanji: “…”
Everyone who is drunk will say that he is not drunk.
She stabilized her and whispered, “Go back to your room and rest.”
Sheng Jinshu looked very docile, leaning against her weakly and boneless, her long curly hair fell on Meng Wanji’s neck, and she seemed to scratch gently.
Meng Wanji endured the unnaturalness, sent her back to the room, and helped her sit on the bed.
“Drink sober tea?” She put the thin quilt over Sheng Jinshu’s lap.
Sheng Jinshu didn’t answer her, half leaning on the bed, her watery and blurred eyes wrapped around Meng Wanji’s body like greed and nostalgia, and she was full of charm.
Meng Wanji’s eyelashes trembled, she staggered her eyes, stood up, and was about to leave.
Sheng Jinshu suddenly stretched out his hand, hugged her from behind, pressed against her back, and murmured, “Don’t go…”
Like coquetry and seduction.
Meng Wanji froze, her heart beating wildly.
