This Heroine Is Not Pretty - Chapter 10
No one knows how much Li Na once liked Liu Haonan.
Even Liu Haonan didn’t know that Ye Lili had always been disdainful of Li Na. From when she was determined to take Liu Haonan away from Li Na, everything between Li Na and Liu Haonan was so insignificant.
Li Na and Liu Haonan have been growing up since they were children, and they have entered an ignorant adolescence. Liu Haonan is the only person she can talk to, and she can tell him all the throbbing and troubles of young girls.
After Li Na’s parents separated, Li Na said no more than ten sentences a day. Just when she became decadent and silent, Liu Haonan took her and her friends out to climb the mountain. If there was a party to go out to play or something, she would definitely bring Li Na with her.
In adolescence, when you start to become dependent on someone and need someone, that’s liking.
Afterwards, Li Na wrote a letter that carried her heart and expectations, and put it in his math textbook. Between her and Liu Haonan, she is active, but also passive.
Liu Haonan, a high school student, grew up at the beginning of his youth and became more excellent and mature. The two got along as childhood sweethearts, and after school they were also a pair of lovers full of longing for the future.
Li Na and Liu Haonan once secretly walked hand in hand through the small road in front of the house, the school gate, the corridor outside the classroom, and Liu Haonan’s favorite overpass, the seaside.
The two also kissed between the bookshelves in the library, lips touching lips, like a touch of water, full of cherishing and protection.
The most beautiful time of youth in a person’s life, Li Na spent with Liu Haonan.
Just when she thought that the two would keep getting along like this until graduating from high school and college, Li Na was also dreaming in her sleep that the two could enter the palace of marriage, and she would also be a husband and a child…
But in the end, it turned out that it was just a daydream.
Ye Lili transferred over in the second semester of high school, because there were few such special circumstances during this period, coupled with Ye Lili’s outstanding appearance and good family background, she quickly became a man of the third grade.
At that time, due to her high school studies, the time she spent with Liu Haonan gradually decreased, and Ye Lili became Liu Haonan’s deskmate unknowingly.
Li Na has seen them talking and laughing, like a pictorial, anyone who sees them can’t help but say a golden boy and a jade girl, they are such a perfect match.
Li Na also asked Liu Haonan in a side-by-side manner. She chose unconditional trust, because the two of them have been together for three years after confirming their relationship, and in three months, they can end their high school years, and there will never be any intersection in the future…
She originally thought so.
Life is far from going your way.
When a good-looking girl puts down her body to pursue another boy, 99% of the boys will be tempted. Li Na and Liu Haonan, one sits on the right side of the first row of classrooms, and the other sits on the left side of the middle classroom.
A distance of less than seven meters in diameter is ridiculous enough to be comparable to a long-distance relationship.
Li Na and Liu Haonan’s ignorant three years of youth were no match for Ye Lili, who was chatting and laughing at the same table in March.
Distance beat her?
Li Na shook her head, no, if she was better, better-looking, whiter, and thinner, if she and Ye Lili were not inferior, wouldn’t Liu Haonan choose Ye Lili?
This is a face-to-face world.
Li Na is extremely inferior, or she has always been inferior around Liu Haonan, and she said it shamelessly when she liked it. Naturally, she would not pester him when they broke up.
The two of them didn’t say anything, and gradually became distant classmates and friends who could occasionally say a word.
What Li Na is pained by is that three years can’t be compared with three months.
She thought of her parents’ failed marriage. Didn’t the 18-year marriage also come to nothing?
What unbreakable love? But it is also fragile.
Li Na does not hold any hope for love.
She is desperate.
Being hurt once was enough to make her lose the courage and ability to love her for ten years.
Li Na thought that she had forgotten about four years in college, but when she saw him at the wedding, her emotions were still difficult to calm down.
And when she received his call, her heart was beating wildly uncontrollably, but she quickly recovered because Li Na knew that this was neither love nor liking.
Who he marries, who he regrets, who he likes, who he loves has nothing to do with her.
As for talking about him and seeing his physical reaction, Li Na thought, it’s just self-healing, a necessary process when saying goodbye to all the pain in the past, forgiveness and healing.
“Well, long time no see.”
“…” There was silence on the phone.
Li Na got off the bed and walked to the living room: “Is there anything you need to call me?”
“Well, I have something to do.” Liu Haonan stopped talking again.
Li Na frowned: “What’s the matter?”
“My parents are on the plane tonight, we’re going to have dinner in a while, can you come over?” His tone was a little tired, and his voice became deeper than before.
“…I have something to do tonight.” After a while, Li Na added, “I have invited someone to have dinner together.”
“Is that so…” Liu Haonan on the other side of the phone was lying on the bed with the back of his hand covering his eyes: “My parents said that they haven’t seen you for a long time and want to have a meal with you.”
“They said, . . . miss you.”
Liu Haonan’s parents are very good, and his father is kind and generous. Although he is not good at words, his mother is gentle and beautiful, and is very kind to Li Na. During high school, Li Na’s father often asked her to go out to buy food because of overtime work. They will take the initiative to call her home and cook for her.
Li Na’s father, a big man with a puberty girl, also has a lot of inconveniences. Whenever this time, it is Liu’s mother who comes forward and takes her to buy personal clothes to clear her mind.
She has always been envious. Liu Haonan has such a good and gentle mother. In contrast, her mother who ignores her is too selfish and indifferent.
From childhood to adulthood, and after her parents divorced, how much more has Li Na received blessings and care from Mother Liu?
Li Na sighed. He knew her very well. He knew that once Liu’s father and Liu’s mother moved out, she would not refuse: “What time and which hotel are you at, I’ll go over there.”
The corners of Liu Haonan’s mouth twitched: “at eight o’clock, tell me where you are, and I’ll pick you up.”
“No, just tell me where you are eating, and I’ll be there in a while.” She refused directly.
“The three of us will pick you up by the way, and we can chat in the car. Where do you live, we’ll pick you up.” Liu Haonan’s tone was a little tough, adding the word “men”, she would not refuse.
“…Yulong Garden Community, call me when you arrive. I’ll be waiting for you at the door of the convenience store outside the community.”
“Okay, now at half past seven, I’ll be there at forty-five.”
“Well, hang up.”
After hanging up the phone, Li Na couldn’t help sighing again, and went to the bedroom to change into the strawberry pajamas. She wore a pure white T-shirt, an A-line denim skirt, and a pair of white platform sandals. After all, she was having dinner with Liu Haonan’s parents. , neither too formal nor too casual.
At 7:45, as soon as Li Na went downstairs, Liu Haonan called. When she left the community, she saw a BMW parked on the side of the road. Liu Haonan got out of the car and waved to her.
Li Na took a deep breath and walked over. Liu Haonan opened the car door for her. Li Na sat in the co-pilot’s seat, fastened her seat belt and turned around to greet Liu’s father and mother.
“Auntie, uncle, long time no see.” Li Na smiled happily, her eyes curved.
Liu’s father has a typical Chinese character face, with handsome features, but he hasn’t seen him for four years. His face is a little older, and when he smiles, the fine lines at the corners of his eyes have increased. “Nana, you’re here.” Father Liu said cheerfully, without any haze.
Mother Liu simply tied a low ponytail, and her face was simple and clean, as if the years had not left a mark on her face.
“Nana, we’ve seen you,” Liu Mu smiled and took Li Na’s hand, holding them together: “I haven’t come back since you left, auntie hasn’t seen you for a long time, really I miss you very much.”
Li Na was stunned for a while, but kept laughing: “Me too.”
“Then you don’t come back to see us, see your father.”
“…” Li Na quietly pushed away Mother Liu’s hand: “Auntie, don’t you know about our family’s situation?”
The smile on Mother Liu’s face froze, and gradually disappeared: “Yes, things are unpredictable, and every family has a scripture that is difficult to read.”
The last sentence seemed to mean something, and Liu Haonan’s wedding was messed up today, and Liu’s mother seemed to be depressed about it.
Father Liu smiled and patted Mother Liu’s hand: “It’s no big deal, don’t think about it.”
Li Na glanced at Liu Haonan who was driving. He looked ahead with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he didn’t hear what his parents said behind him.
As an outsider, she can only remain silent, and sometimes silence is better than comfort.
Liu Haonan took Liu’s father and mother to Haidilao in the food street. After all, it was a family meal, so it was natural to go to a down-to-earth place.
Entering the store, the four of them were placed on a square table on the first floor near the large display window. The waiter quickly began to put the soup base and boil it.
Father Liu and Mother Liu sat in their seats to rest, while Li Na and Liu Haonan went to get the buffet food.
Afterwards, everyone chatted and laughed at the dinner party, and it was fun. I don’t know, I thought it was a big family. It’s just the topic that Liu Haonan talked about, and Li Na didn’t pick it up deliberately, so the two of them seemed a little embarrassed.
Liu’s father and mother’s flight was at 9:20 in the evening. They had to arrive at the airport at 9:00 in advance. It took half an hour to eat. Then Liu Haonan glanced at his watch and checked out and left the venue after eating.
On the way to the airport, Liu’s father and Liu’s mother talked about Li Na and Liu Haonan’s previous school days, as if they were deliberately trying to ease the relationship between the two.
Li Na smiled, and occasionally followed up with two sentences, and the atmosphere in the car was quite warm.
At the airport, Liu Haonan took his parents’ documents to check in, while Liu’s father, Liu’s mother, and Li Na were waiting at the boarding gate.
On the way, Mother Liu took Li Na’s arm and said something meaningful: “Nana, Auntie has something to say, the past is gone, some things and some people should be relieved, as long as you can turn back, Give me a chance, ah, Nana, go home and see your father when you have time, he is your father after all…”
Li Na was stunned for a while, and the last few words made her doubt and misunderstand whether it was because of Liu Haonan or because of her father.
But she still smiled and nodded: “Auntie, I know.”
Watching Liu’s mother and the others board the plane, Liu Haonan can officially speak to Li Na: “Are you okay? I’ll take you back.”
“Okay.”
Sitting in the car, because it was too quiet, Liu Haonan turned on the radio. After a while, he said, “Do you know the man in the shirt sitting with you today?”
Li Na looked at the scenery outside the window and said lazily, “I know.”
How did you meet? He wanted to ask, but he didn’t dare to ask, he just said “oh” and said nothing.
“It’s the general manager of the company I work for, and I’m his employee, so that’s all.” Li Na went on to say.
“Ah, that’s it.” He breathed a sigh of relief.
“Um.”
Liu Haonan pondered for a while, and when he was about to speak again, Li Na’s cell phone rang. She connected: “Hello?”
“Li Na, I told you that we are having a barbecue on the side of the road. Cheng Tian and Xiao Xiao are both here, come over quickly, we just started, I have reserved your share, come over quickly.” It was Fairy’s voice.
“No, I just finished eating, you can eat.”
“Hey Nana, come on, we are too few to drink, come here, I have something to tell you.” Fairy said coquettishly.
Li Na pondered for a while, she originally didn’t want to go, but she was afraid that what would happen when Liu Haonan sent her back, and Fairy insisted on asking her to go…
“Where are you? I’ll find you later.”
“Moon Bridge, come here, there are a lot of hawkers here, and the things they sell are delicious.”
“okay bye bye.”
“bye.”
After hanging up, Li Na said to Liu Haonan, “Do you know Moon Bridge? Just send me there.”
Liu Haonan frowned: “It’s half past nine, you’re a girl…”
“It’s alright,” Li Na interrupted him, “a few female colleagues are just for supper, and they don’t go to nightclubs, they will go back in a while.”
“…”
Moon Bridge is a night-view bridge in City A. At night, it will be lit up with colorful lights, which are colorful and endlessly changing. And this place is also near the downtown square, and there is a polytechnic next to it.
There are also many hawkers here, a feng shui treasure place to set up stalls, and a lot of people walking and shopping at night to play. However, the bridge has been closed to cars because of its long time.
Liu Haonan put Li Na on the side of the road. After Li Na got out of the car, she remembered something and leaned over the car window: “Liu Haonan, let me ask you something.”
“What’s up.”
“I picked up that Persian cat when I was a freshman, and the one I gave to you is called Xiaobai, isn’t it dead?” Li Na looked at him with half-squinted eyes, her expression cold and calm.
Liu Haonan pursed his lips: “Who told you?”
Li Na suddenly laughed, “So, you lied and lied to me that you were dead, but you actually gave it to Ye Lili, right?”
Liu Haonan looked at Li Na’s unfamiliar smile, and he began to panic: “No, Nana, listen to me.”
“Don’t say anything.”
Li Na stood up straight. At 7:45, just as Li Na went downstairs, Liu Haonan called. When she left the community, she saw a BMW parked on the side of the road. Liu Haonan got out of the car and called her. wave.
Li Na took a deep breath and walked over. Liu Haonan opened the car door for her. Li Na sat in the co-pilot’s seat, fastened her seat belt and turned around to greet Liu’s father and mother.

Liu Haonan looked at Li Na’s unfamiliar smile, and he began to panic: “No, Nana, listen to me.”

Leaving such a sentence coldly, Li Na straightened up and walked onto the Moon Bridge without looking back.
