Chapter 4 Chapter Four

For the first year after our breakup, we couldn't even be friends. In the second year after the breakup, he introduced me to a business, we would occasionally talk on the phone, and I knew he was seeing a girl.The girl was ten years younger than him, and I met her once as the secretary of a friend of his.She admired Ah Zheng very much, just like I admired Ah Zheng back then; unlike me, she did not feel that she was not worthy of Ah Zheng, and she did not think that Ah Zheng needed a woman as outstanding as him. "He's a big man," the girl said to me. In the past, I also knew that Ah Zheng was a big man, and I thought I was a little woman. I worked hard for him, and love was the driving force for my survival.It's a pity that what Ah Zheng wants is not a small woman among big women like me, but a woman who has no ambitions or even enterprising spirit.

In the third year after we broke up, Ah Zheng told me that he was getting married. "She wants a name, and I'm not too old." Ah Zheng said while scratching his head. I forgot that he was thirty-eight years old. "Congratulations, will you invite me to a wedding?" I asked him. "Are you free?" he asked me. "It's the first time for me to drink the wedding wine invited by my old lover. I will definitely come." "There's one thing that I've been brooding over," Ah Zheng said. "What's up?" "I'm sorry I hit you that day," he said.

"I was the one who hit you first." "I shouldn't have fought back." "It was impossible not to fight back at that time." I said with a smile. He also laughs. Ah Zheng's wedding banquet was held in a hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui. Ah Zheng's dress is very handsome today.When we were together before, I also dreamed about our wedding. I only thought about my bride's look, but I didn't think about what the groom would look like. My wedding present to Ah Zheng was an oil painting that could be hung in the living room.I thought about what gift to give him for a long time, and finally, very selfishly, I thought of giving an oil painting, so that he would always have something that belonged to me at home.

In the corridor outside the banquet hall, I met Ah Zheng. "Thank you for coming to my wedding reception," he told me. "One thing, I forgot—" I said. "What's up?" "Did you take that pair of snow boots, or did I take it? It was a mess when we moved the house, and I forgot about it," I said. "I took it," he said. Maybe it's my wishful thinking, I think Ah Zheng still loves me, and he hasn't forgotten that pair of snow boots. There is one more thing I didn’t tell Ah Zheng. I later bought back the apartment we lived together in North Point. I often stood on the balcony and thought of the scene of him hugging me. I still believe that no one will love me like him. .

Standing on the balcony, I would hope that it will snow in Hong Kong, so Ah Zheng can wear the pair of snow boots I bought him. ——End of the book——
