Chapter 959: Chapter 956: One and a Half Cups of Milk 4
Before she knew it, Christmas Eve had arrived.
As she returned to the winter break reserved for students, the noisy gatherings suddenly quieted down. Li Xianzhen and his group had all returned to their countries, even Li Mingyu went on vacation with his new girlfriend. Ms. Liu had relatives in the mountain city, so Yan Xixi simply granted her a week-long vacation.
In the vast house, only Yan Xixi was left alone.
Bored and idle, she went to the supermarket to buy some things. There, she unexpectedly ran into An’an. An’an was pushing a shopping cart, looking haggard, filled with discounted food items.
The two checked out together and chatted briefly.
An’an was curious, "Yan Xixi, aren’t you going home?"
She shook her head, "What about you?"
An’an gave a bitter smile, "I would love to go have some fun, but I’m short on money. Ah, Yan Xixi, I really regret it, spending so many years with Li Mingyu. He never took me on a trip, let alone spent any money. And now, look, he immediately takes his new flame on a tour of several countries..."
Seeing her so indignant, Yan Xixi felt a bit awkward. This topic was hard to engage in or avoid.
"Ah, that’s how men are. If they want to marry you, they would do it quickly. If they don’t, they keep making excuses. Yan Xixi, as someone who’s been through it, let me give you some advice. In the future, with any man you meet, it’s best not to be involved with him for more than a year. If after a year he still doesn’t mention marriage, then just cut your losses. Look, I’m a living example. Wasted my youth, went through hardships with him, and now that he’s doing well, he gets a new lover. The good thing about men is that no matter how old they are, as long as they have money, plenty of young girls would still flock to them. But for women, it’s not the same. Even if you have money, you can’t just pick a bunch of young guys..."
Yan Xixi could only offer a wry smile.
Legend has it that the music godfather Luo Dayou was in love with his first love from medical school for seven years, and no matter how much she pushed for marriage, it was useless. Later, when Goddess Zhang Aijia appeared, just a few months later, he passionately proposed and married Zhang Aijia. Even though they later separated, it was initiated by Zhang Aijia.
Perhaps influenced by An’an’s words, her mood worsened.
She hastily panfried a steak, eating without tasting it.
Then she picked up her phone, but there was still no message from Wan Donglin.
That’s how people are—once lonely and desolate, they become suspicious. She suddenly wondered, how many years have passed since she’s been with Wan Donglin? Four years? Five years?
Men are strange creatures; the longer it drags on, the weaker the feelings become. Instead of getting deeper, they become more bland, losing all freshness and excitement.
She even had an unknown concern: whether she could have a child was uncertain.
She listlessly turned on the TV, only to find it unbearable. Everywhere was filled with a joyful and harmonious atmosphere, and people around the world were all elated.
Finally, her phone rang. She picked it up and saw it was a greeting message from Xu Xiaoya.
Feeling disheartened, she simply collapsed on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
She slept drowsily until the evening, and the rich festive atmosphere became even more intense. She didn’t turn on the lights, sitting alone in the dark, thinking about nothing.
Suddenly, she thought she heard someone knocking on the door. Delighted, she ran out to see, but it was quiet outside with no one around.
She decided to turn on all the lights and sat alone on the sofa in the living room.
