Chapter 11 Chapter Eleven

Unfortunately, you are not a dream to forget. On those days when I was huddled in bed and didn't want to see anyone, one day, Xia Xia came to see me. I'm the only one at home.I hobbled out of bed to open the door.When she saw me, she was surprised and said: "You've lost weight a lot! What's wrong with you? Have you gone to see a doctor?" She said and reached out and touched my forehead. "I have a little fever! Go back to bed and lie down. I bought you something to eat." She nervously pulled me back to the bed, with my back against the bed board, she covered me up, sat by my bed, and asked me worriedly:

"What happened to you?" I looked at her and she cared so genuinely about me.That feeling couldn't be fake. Before you, Genghis Khan, appeared, she and I were "Western Xia" after all! I suddenly felt so mean.Why did I do that to her? Although she gave me a taste of jealousy, it wasn't her fault. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have known you at all.If it wasn't for her, you wouldn't necessarily fall in love with me at that time. "Look what I bought for you!" She took out a beautifully packaged rectangular box with a big bow on it.

"It's chocolate! This chocolate is delicious! Take it apart and have a look." At that moment, all my tears welled up. This idiot, this best friend from my teenage years, came to visit with a box of chocolates. I did freak her out. "Sissi, are you okay?" She grabbed my skinny arm. "Just tell me if you have anything!" I covered my face with my hands, I could only cry, but I couldn't say a word. How can I tell her that I'm in love with you? "Don't be like this, I will cry if you cry, is there something wrong with you?" she cried.

When I saw her cry, I cried too. I was afraid that she would know the secret in my heart, so I said vaguely: "I do not feel well." "Are you going to die?" She asked me in a panic, swallowing hard and said, "Ya Ningen, you can't die. Didn't we make an appointment to visit Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes together one day? That's true. The great art of our Western Xia era!" I looked at her with tears in my eyes, and finally said: "I'm going to eat this box of chocolates before I die!" We all laughed and cried while laughing. "You ate my chocolate, I won't let you die! Eat it quickly, Xinsheng bought this chocolate with me." She wiped away her tears and said happily.

"He bought it?" "I picked it, and he paid for it. I know you like chocolate, but it's bitter. How about it, delicious?" "Well, it's very bitter." I pursed my lips and said. "Bitter is fine. I kept asking the clerk, is it bitter or not? I want it! I said that my friend likes to suffer. Xinsheng laughed beside him and said: 'The Bitterness is not sugar'." With chocolate in my mouth, I nodded silently: "It's bitter enough! It's so bitter!" "Really? I picked these ones. Don't expect men to know what you like, they won't buy gifts," she said with a sigh.

As she spoke, she took out a blue velvet box from her purse and opened it for me to see. "Look what he bought for me!" My tearful eyes are hazy again. It was a pair of ivory white pearl earrings, inlaid with platinum, with a long pearl hanging from each side. "It's so beautiful!" I picked it up and compared it to my earlobe. "Such an old thing, only old women would wear it! He just said that pearls are the prettiest! I'm so pissed off!" I was about to say, "I like pearls!", but the words died on my lips. I gave her back the earrings.

How dissimilar is her taste to yours! How can you like Pearl and also like her? I like you, and it is impossible to like anything that is not worthy of you at the same time. So, I don't like myself. Xia Xia left and left me the box of bitter chocolate. You bought the chocolate, I cherish it and taste the bitterness you gave me. How much is that like my love for you?Smile and suffer, drink arsenic without regret.
