Up to You - C187

Doubtful, I took a bite and bit off my other earlobe.

“How is it fake? It’s obviously delicious.”

Mu Huainan didn’t have any particular tone, and said indifferently.

Mu Huainan ignored me.

“I want to take this. Why don’t you come with me to his wedding?”

Mu Huainan looked at me as if he had heard a great joke.

“I’m not in the habit.”

“Didn’t He Fang and the perfumery make up already? I’ve seen the news, so I can borrow his wedding to promote our relationship.”

Mu Huainan looked over coldly.

“Firstly, the reconciliation is just to show off to the military who has been suppressing us recently. Secondly, I have already given him enough face by not sending my men out to shoot him. Third, your name is the only thing on his invitation card, so why should I go? ”

“You still want to shoot him!?” I looked at him angrily. “Mu Huainan, he saved your son!”

After saying that, I turned around and left. I thought that since all the suffering had ended, the two most important people in my life would be able to reconcile with each other. Now, I truly understood that most of the things in this world went against my wishes.

As expected, the car at the door was Peng Haobai’s. He was dressed in a dark suit, leaning against the door of the car as he smoked.

Seeing me leave, Peng Haobai casually threw his cigarette butt, used his shiny leather shoes to extinguish it, and walked towards me, opening up a huge embrace.

Naturally, I responded to his embrace. He had a faint smell of smoke on him, and I couldn’t find him at all.

At that time, Peng Haobai did not know how to smoke.

“Chocolate is delicious.”

I walked over and looked at the passenger side of the car behind him. It was empty, and his wife didn’t seem to have come with him.

“To cheat on you, I’ve been looking for you from abroad. Your favorite chocolate concocter.” He leaned over and smiled evilly, “You have to give me a big red packet.”

I looked at him and said, “Five yuan, alright. I’ll give you six dollars and sixty-six dollars. I won’t be able to raise any more children.”

Peng Haobai laughed heartily at my words, he was almost unable to straighten his body. When he smiled, he still revealed eight teeth.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you smile so happily.” I said sincerely.

He replied, “You too.”

I retorted, “That’s because I’m mature. I’m the mother of a seven-year-old child. Isn’t it embarrassing to laugh when you’re joking?”

It had been more than ten years, but now it seemed like he had returned to the past. The atmosphere was harmonious, the men were funny, and the women were shy. They were truly the most beautiful women in their youth.

Unfortunately, this feeling was fleeting. We were all old enough to be unable to keep what we wanted, so we could only hold on to the present moment.

“Right.” I suddenly asked him, “Have you received your certificate?”

Peng Haobai did not answer me, but kicked my leg.

“What about you? The child is already so old, are you trying to prove it?”

“Don’t compare us, we’re not the same.”

Peng Haobai was even more energetic now.

“Then tell me, what’s different?”

I didn’t say anything as he said, “Alright, I’ll go back and give an invitation to my alma mater’s teachers. Why don’t you come with me and take a look?”

“My big brother, the husband and wife must be going to send out the invitation. What the hell is going on between us?” Furthermore, with your identity, why would you want to do it yourself? ”

Peng Haobai heard and sighed.

“Trying to trick you to go back to your alma mater with me to reminisce? You failed.” He sighed. “They say marriage is the grave of love, and I have half a foot in the grave. It is heartless of you not to accompany your old friend in the remembrance of youth.”

“Aiyo, is your mouth wound up with clockwork? Is there no end to your grumbling?”

“If you come with me, I’ll shut up.”

I looked back at He An’s front door and was a little hesitant.

“What? Are you afraid that your husband won’t let you go out with other men, or are you afraid that if you follow me out, I’ll be able to eat you up?”

Peng Haobai’s provocation never ended.

“This isn’t like the Lu Weian that I know.”

“Alright, alright, I’ll go with you!” I glared at him and slid around him to sit in the passenger seat. “You’re so long-winded,” I said indignantly.

He also got on the car, stepped on the gas pedal and sped away.

I saw a gift box on the back seat, just like mine, and grabbed it.

“Is this the invitation you gave to the homeroom teacher and the accompanying gift?”

Peng Haobai didn’t look at me. “You’ll know when you see it yourself.”

I opened the box. Inside was an invitation card with the name of our high school teacher written on it.

I thought the chocolates inside should be made from the head teacher’s face. After all, the one I received was made from my face.

Yet, when I took it out, it was still my face…

I was stunned for three seconds, then brought it in front of Peng Haobai.

“Hey!” What do you mean by that? Isn’t it too obvious that the accompanying gift to teacher was made based on my face… ”

Peng Haobai casually glanced at me, and perfunctorily replied: Oh, to save money.

In order to … Saving money…

I swallowed, and he went on.

“It costs a hundred thousand to get that great designer to design a face. If I were to get a face for each of them, it would be such a waste of money.”

I couldn’t bear it any longer. “Then why don’t you just stop using my face? I can even save you a hundred thousand!”

I understand Peng Haobai, he is really used to things happening, he doesn’t like proper etiquette, I can understand, but this is also not a small matter.

“Does your wife know that you’re so willful?”

was stunned for a moment when he heard the word “wife”.

Then, he reacted: “You’re talking about Luo Ta? She knows. ”

Peng Haobai’s casual tone really made me sweat a little for him.

“Don’t give me that gift.” I said, “This chocolate is too realistic. I can tell with a glance that it’s me. It doesn’t have a good effect on me.”

Peng Haobai laughed with self-mockery.

“What, you’re so unwilling to have something to do with me?”

I couldn’t help but sigh.

“Peng Haobai, are you really pretending to be stupid now or are you not willing to let go of the past to see the future?”

After Peng Haobai heard this, he turned the steering wheel with all his might. When the car turned, he said: “I’m about to f * cking get married, and you said that I can’t let it go, I admit that I did a lot of stupid things about you, but I, Peng Haobai told you, that once it’s over, I’ll let him go. I’m inviting you to my wedding, but I hope that we are still friends.”

His last sentence suddenly turned soft.

“Sorry, Little White.”

He smiled. “We’re really enemies.”

“Why did you marry Luo Ta?” I asked him suddenly.

Peng Haobai answered without thinking: “Because Luo Ta said she was willing to withdraw from the show industry for me, so she gave up on the business she had just started. At least she has chased me for many years and had a very obedient personality.

Then Jean suddenly called my name.

“Xiao Wei.”

He hadn’t called me that in a long time.

“In the future, I won’t be able to protect you whenever I’m called upon.” He said in a relaxed tone, but it was not a relaxed manner, “Don’t mess around anymore, I have a wife in the future, so I have to be responsible for her. My cell phone won’t change, but you can’t call me casually in the future.”

I couldn’t help but feel a little sad, but thinking about it, it was worth being happy for.

“Yes.” The answer was very soft, very light, and after his mood had eased up for a while, he spoke again, imitating the way he looked — pretending to be relaxed.

“I won’t call you. It’s good enough that you don’t cause trouble for me to worry about.”

“Xiao Wei, I’ll bring you back to school and make this chocolate. Do you think I’m crazy, just like how crazy I was before?”

I didn’t give him any face. She answered him directly with a “Mmm.”

“I guarantee that this will be the last time. I promise you that I will give up everything for my youth and recklessness. I promise that I won’t do it again.”

I don’t know why, but this kind of Peng Haobai makes my heart ache even more.

Peng Haobai could only maintain this state for a few minutes. After a few minutes had passed, the school arrived and he stopped his car, resting his arm on the back of the chair. He turned around and looked at me.

“Sigh, this time passed too quickly. I still wasn’t able to lure you home in the end. Remember that night at the school when I first met you when I was drunk. From then on, I’ll trap you in a pit, and it’ll be hard to escape …”

Even though I said that I would put it down, I could still tell that he was sad.

“Forget it, in the next life, I will definitely meet you before Mu Huainan, you will definitely be my wife.”

I couldn’t help but tease him, “Then I’ll be born a man in my next life.”

After getting off the car, I followed Peng Haobai into the school and naturally walked towards the teaching building.

“What are you doing?” Seeing that he didn’t follow me, I turned around and asked him, “If you want to visit the campus, you should first hand over the invitation to the teachers.”

When I saw that he was empty-handed, I couldn’t help but frown.

“What happened? You didn’t take it?”

He looked at me, his hands in his pockets, smiling, almost familiar.

“I’ve lied to you again, Xiao Wei.”

He told me, “If you’re angry, you can beat me up, but don’t go, okay?”

I asked him, holding back the anger in my heart.

“What are you lying to me about? Are you not married to Luo Ta, or ….”

Halfway through, he interrupted me.

“Luo Ta and I are engaged. I also swear that I will marry her and bring her home.”

I was relieved.

“Then you lied and said you wanted to invite a teacher. Actually, you didn’t invite one, but just wanted me to accompany you to visit the school?”

Peng Haobai did not speak.

I smiled and went down the stairs to pat him on the shoulder. “I’m not that unreasonable. At least we’re just childhood friends. It’s only right for us to accompany you to resolve your premarital phobia.”

“Lu Weian.”

He became serious at an unknown time. “The reason I made the invitation was not to test your reaction. It was to test my own heart.”

I frowned. “What do you mean?”

“I know you’ll be happy for me when you face my wedding invitation. I just want to see how I feel when I see your happy reaction.”

As I listened to him, I felt a little uncomfortable.

“Peng Haobai, why do you have to go through so much trouble?”

“I got it.” Peng Haobai immediately followed up with my words: “I won’t always remember you, I will marry Luo Ta and pass the time, I should be a debauchee, I have been infatuated with his for 11 years, and you and I have no fate. I have spent so much time thinking about it, it is already enough.”

Yes, we should all let it go.

“When I really set a date for the wedding and have a feast, I will send you a new invitation.”

When he said this, he suddenly felt at ease, as if the sky and sea were suddenly relieved of everything and everything, just as when I saw him drunk by the trash can and sent him back to school, he pulled at my badge and read my name aloud.

“Lu Weian.”

“Peng Haobai.”

Eleven years, originally ignorant “very happy to meet you”, became after countless entanglement and pain.

I have always firmly believed that Peng Haobai is worthy of a better person.

That day, he and I walked around the campus for a long time, from the usual woods to the classrooms to the cafeteria. At the end of the class, the campus was packed with people.

No worries.

The night breeze was slightly cool. Peng Haobai and I walked out of the campus side by side with many classmates who had finished school together, and as the crowd scattered us, he used his mouth to tell me that he was reuniting with me through the thousands of other students.

“I never regretted it.”

I don’t know what he meant, not regretting meeting me, not regretting saving my child and me, or not regretting what happened after seven long years.

However, there was no point in going into the details now.

The past of a city, from the moment he saved me, so many moving days and nights, it seemed to me that I was not looking at him now, so long from the tide of people to him.

I was about to thank him when I heard a familiar voice.

“Madam, sir is waiting for you.”
