Chapter 26 [Outside Story] Michelle's Ex-Chapter
Anyone who has been in a relationship, regardless of gender, has a worst enemy, the ex-boyfriend/girlfriend.
Of course, there are higher-level upgrades, ex-husbands and ex-wives!
Asher and Michelle took advantage of a weekend with good weather, and it was rare that they didn't stay in bed until the afternoon, and got up early to go out.The two first went for a run in the park to exercise, went home to take a bath, went out to watch a movie, and finally had lunch together at a famous restaurant near their home.Originally, he was in a good mood and the sun was shining brightly. Attorney Mi made a big move on Asher, and he tacitly agreed to it. He even raised his tail and made an inch of it, touching his hands from his thighs all the way to his waistline.
Just as you and I were so tired, a person stopped in front of their table. Asher subconsciously pushed away Lawyer Mi, who was eating tofu, and sat up straight and continued to pretend to eat. The person didn't leave, and yelled Name: [Michelle? 】
Hearing the sound, he raised his head and saw the person in front of him. Lawyer Mi's expression was extremely surprised: "Himan? Long time no see."
The visitor was also in high spirits, and he pulled out his chair and sat down on his own initiative, yelling at him: [My God, it's been a long time.I love this coat you're wearing, it's so cool!I miss you and I miss your coffee. 】
Hearing that sentence, I miss you so much, the Chinese boy immediately raised his eyebrows and stared at the man covetously.
Michelle heard about the past and wanted to pick up the conversation, so she said, "Yeah, I haven't seen you for two or three years, how are you doing?..."
[Uh huh, cough cough cough] Asher coughed hard twice to attract the attention of the two of them, and waved his hand apologetically,
【Both of you, go ahead, I have a bad throat.Continue ==+]
A certain golden retriever closed his mouth in a sensible manner, and the other was completely out of the situation, looked up and down Asher with a smile, and said,
【Hey, so cute, Chinese?How old are you?Still in high school?hello】
Asher: […] (Voice of the heart: You are only in high school, your whole family is in high school, this is definitely the rhythm of war
Michelle stopped her lover who was about to explode, and said to Seaman: [Hahaha, Seaman, your bad habit of speaking incoherently has not changed, this is not good, you have to change it. Asher, this is Seaman, Seaman, this is Asher, my boyfriend. 】
Seaman raised his chin and let out a [ha] sound, then lowered his head again, and said to Michelle ambiguously with his face in his hands: [It seems that your taste has not changed, black-haired boy, handsome, young.Tsk tsk, aren't you afraid that the police will arrest you and sue you for child molestation? 】
Michelle: […]
Asher: […]
A certain thick line who didn't know what he said to offend the two of them continued to ask with a smile: [Hey, how long have you two been together? 】
Before the golden retriever could answer, the Bombay cat on the side exploded and said, [It will be 7 years in 5 months. 】
Seaman blinked in disbelief, 【wow, haha, are you sure? 5 years?Not 5 months? 】
His tone completely overwhelmed the last straw in Asher's mind, he was completely angry, and almost burst into flames: [Yes, five years, I am very unhappy to meet you, now move your big ass off the chair Come on, get the hell out before I grab your neck with a wine bottle. 】
I didn't expect the Chinese teenager to swear in a foreign language so smoothly, and the small words kept coming back. Seaman was dumbfounded when he heard it. Seeing that he was about to open his mouth again, Michelle quickly forked an egg into it, and put his arms around his shoulders to persuade him: [ Asher.Public places, public places, as we agreed, don't swear in public places.Eat first, eat.One will buy you a three scoop sundae. 】
Seaman didn't mind at all... Well, at least on the surface he didn't mind, he still smiled and rubbed towards Asher: 【Is your name Asher?Nice to meet you, I'm Seaman]
The Chinese boy chewed the egg, and spit at him while talking: [Although I really want to say "nice to meet you", but I was taught very strictly since I was a child not to lie, so I'm sorry, it's really nice to know you Gave me stomach indigestion. 】
【…】
No matter men or women, facing the ex-object of their lover, no matter how good-tempered they are, even Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva cannot greet him with a smile on his face.
After being stabbed by Asher for a long time, Ximan couldn't pretend any longer, and his tone was a little offended: 【Mind asking about your age?Maybe the skin care products you use are too good, I really think you are a high school student]
Accept the 'comment' without blushing and heartbeat [Thank you for the compliment, but I don't want to tell you, no matter what, I must be younger than you.After all, you are at the same level as my uncle, he is already like this, and you are probably about the same. 】
Seaman got angry, [Hey, boy, I have treated you well from the beginning, at least you Chinese have taught you to treat others with courtesy, right? 】
Asher stopped the knife and fork in his hand, tilted his head and thought for a while, turned his two black eyes around, looked at him, suddenly smiled, did not apologize, but said [Himan?Am I pronouncing it right?This is a very special name that is rarely heard. 】
Hearing the name was mentioned, Seaman proudly said [That is necessary, I am Jewish, and Seaman is the name of the Jewish religion, oh, of course, foreigners may not know it very well, it doesn’t matter, I understand. ...]
[Jews?uh-huh. 】Asher curled his lips, did not respond too much, and continued to eat with his head down.
[Wait, what do you mean by that huh?ah? 】
Asher didn't answer right away, instead he ate a piece of bread slowly, wiped his mouth before continuing, [What?It's not interesting, did I offend you?Sorry, I'm not very interested in religion, and I don't know much about it. 】
Himan frowned, 【Our Judaism is a very traditional religion. My family has believed in Judaism since the first generation, and all family members are required to strictly abide by Jewish eating habits.Of course, I can also understand that you don't understand these esoteric and advanced religious belief theories, but watch your tone. 】
Asher disagreed, [I am from China, our country has 56 ethnic groups and nearly a hundred dialects. Sorry, it’s not that I can’t understand it, but that I really don’t want to remember things that take up my brain capacity. 】
Seaman tried his best to grin, and sarcastically said: 【Huh?It seems that you have a small brain. ] (English slang for small brain means calling someone stupid.)
Asher also squinted and smiled back, 【Ha, since you have a big brain, and you also talked about Judaism, Seaman, can I ask you a question? 】
Michelle tried to prevent the two from bickering, but Asher glared back at him. She sat back in her original position cowardly and dared not move, and was unlucky to be a sandwich biscuit between the two of them.
Seaman said proudly [as long as it is about Jewish religion, there is nothing I don’t know.Just ask. 】
Asher blinked, 【You are Jewish, so you must have never done it with Michelle?Ah no, I don't think you've even touched a hair on him.Michelle is a Christian and has worn a silver cross necklace as a talisman since she was a child.As a foreigner, I also know that their great god, Uncle Jesus, was killed by the ancestor of the Jews, Judas, not to mention that he has a cross tattoo on his chest. I don’t want you to be burned to ashes, do I? 】
(In religious history, Jesus was killed by Judas, so Christian Catholicism and Judaism are somewhat at odds. Even in modern America, a Christian/Catholic man will have a small war if he wants to marry a Jewish girl. It is said that if a Jew touches Christianity and Christianity/Catholic keepsake crosses will burn to death as soon as a vampire sees the sun and turn into ashes.)
Ximan was choked by his crackling call, and didn't react for a long time.
Michelle whispered to her cat quietly [Since when did I have a cross tattoo on my chest? . . 】
Asher stroked the big dog's golden retriever, and responded in a low voice【Oh, you will!I'll bring you a whole one after dinner. 】
[But I don’t want to get a tattoo QAQ, it hurts, and the cross is ugly]
【Honey, do you think you have the right to resist? 】
Michelle pursed her mouth, choked for a long time, lowered her head and stuffed another mouthful of food into her mouth, and stopped talking.
Ximan was choked for a long time, and finally thought of something, before he opened his mouth, he was choked back
[We Chinese have always been kind-hearted. I don't want you to be 'touched' by Michelle and turn into ashes. The air in New York is pretty bad now, so there's no need to make things worse.]
[Asher...] Michelle still didn't give up trying to persuade her, but was stared back by the other party, shivering, and found an excuse in a very sensible way
【I'll buy you ice cream, you two... chat slowly (#°Д°)】
(Asher's unique habit: you must eat sweet and salty, and cold and hot. Children who want to be healthy should not learn == his stomach is so bad.)
As soon as Michelle left with the wallet, Seaman immediately dragged the chair and moved over, and asked him in a low voice with a somewhat aggressive tone: 【Do you have any opinion on the Jews? 】
Asher raised his eyebrows, with an attitude of 'do you want to be so affectionate, kissing you', [How is it possible, I didn't know that religion at all before today, I was so bored. 】
Seaman smiled and shook his head, 【Forget it, I don't want to get angry with the child, you don't need to be so hostile to me.Michelle and I are in the past tense]
Asher's voice was a bit cold, [Since it's the past tense, why did you greet him, don't try to refute.Do you think I am six years old?You almost eat Michelle for lunch just by looking at you.I'm not a fool, so don't take me for a fool. 】
【We are just friends, why are you so nervous?So guilty? 】
[It's not guilty, I just don't like to share anything or people with others. 】
Seaman wanted to say something else, but Asher raised his head and shouted in the direction behind him, 【Come back so soon? 】
Lawyer Mi carefully sat down with the banana boat in his hand, carefully took apart the disposable spoon in the plastic belt, wiped it before handing it to him, and told him [eat slowly, don’t eat too fast again and you will get a headache] 】
Asher saw the ice cream's eyes sparkle, and quickly stuffed a few bites into his mouth greedily. Michelle whispered beside him to slow down, and asked the waiter for a glass of warm water to wait.
Seeing such a warm scene in front of him, Ximan felt very uncomfortable, and his smiling expression also collapsed.
This is the psychology that every ex will have: why I let go, why the person I dumped before has become so beautiful now, why I didn't find him good at the beginning, and these are all summed up in two words - hypocrisy.
He greeted them hastily and left. Asher, who was silently eating ice cream, watched the other party leave, swallowed a mouthful of dessert, and then asked the person next to him, 【Michelle, sweet and sour pork ribs and only tomato sauce, no Lasagna with cheese and no meatballs, which would you choose? 】
The man froze for a moment, then smiled and answered 【Please, Asher, you know I like your sweet and sour pork ribs best.Ready to cook tonight? 】
The boy had an expression of "Look at your little face", and reluctantly agreed: [Well, I will make it for you tonight, and I will go to the supermarket to buy materials later]
A few days later, Seaman asked Michelle out for coffee. He went to the appointment without first meeting the Asher ward, but in fact it was unnecessary. The Chinese boy is so smart, he must have known it a long time ago, but he held back in his heart. speak out.
The best solution to deal with the enemy is not to kill him, but to let the person whom the enemy cares about the most cut off his thoughts with his own hands.Borrowing a knife to kill someone is never enough.
The two met at Starbucks, and Seaman had already bought coffee. As soon as he saw Michelle, he waved to him, pushed another paper cup at hand, and said: [Large cappuccino, no sugar, no Put milk, your favorite. 】
Michelle corrected, [Not now, I prefer to drink mocha with a lot of milk and sugar, but thank you. 】
Seaman was taken aback, 【But you used to like drinking this the most, and you said that you couldn't stand milk in your coffee. 】
[Yes, but Asher doesn't like coffee, and every time he makes coffee, he must put a lot of milk.I was taken by him, and I fell in love with it while drinking. 】
Seaman's teeth were a little gritty [Ha, it seems that he forced you to change a lot. 】
[It's not forced, it's just a habit developed unconsciously.And I'm open to a change, there's no harm in trying new flavors. 】
He took a sip of coffee, frowned and opened the lid to look inside, then got up and went to the coffee table to pour half a cup of milk into it to mix it.
Seaman's expression was very disappointed [Michelle, you have changed a lot. 】
【Everyone changes, everyone has to move forward.Sometimes you will need to change something in order to continue. 】
【For example? 】
The blond man lowered his eyes and was silent for a moment before saying, 【Himan, we are impossible】
The atmosphere was awkward for a few seconds, Ximan pursed his lips, and asked with some embarrassment, 【Why?You used to love me so much, how well we lived before, others envied us, we also agreed that we would open the world's first law firm started by a same-sex couple together...]
Michelle interrupted him: [Because that was before, now is now. 】
[So one day you will also get tired of that Chinese boy? 】
He shook his head: [To be honest, I don't think so]
Seaman's voice became a little sharp, 【What is it about him that attracts you?Appearance, figure, bed?Or is it because he is Chinese and good at cooking?I won't be convinced if you don't give me a clear reason.My stomach hurts from jealousy. 】
Michelle frowned and thought for a while, then said slowly [I don't know, Asher doesn't have many good qualities, he has a bad temper, a particularly bad personality, and loves to scold people, and sometimes I get pissed off by him.Sometimes he is very self-willed. Every time I see him squinting his eyes after eating sweets, no matter how angry I am, I will be gone.When it comes to cooking skills, although Asher is good at Chinese food, he is terrible at Western food. He can't even bake quick-frozen lasagna, but as long as I say I want to eat it, he will buy it and make it right away.So even if it is burnt black every time, I will still eat it all. 】
[And his smile, I like to see him smile the most, every time I see him smile, I feel that it is sunny even if it is three feet frozen outside.I can't tell what it feels like, I have an indescribable feeling for him, stronger and more important than ever before]
[Compared to when we were together before? ] Seaman stared wide-eyed, looking at Michelle expectantly, but the other party sighed,
【I don’t remember what happened when I was with you anymore. I can only pretend and think about him now. I don’t think there is any room left for anything else.】
Such an answer was obviously not what he wanted, Seaman's eyes dimmed, and he lowered his head in frustration.
Michelle looked sad, but she didn't reach out to comfort her, she just sat aside and said, 【I know what you're thinking, people will change, everyone has to move forward, Seaman, I've already moved forward.I also know that you only come back to me because something may not be going well in your life right now and you need personal comfort.Too bad I can't be that person.Because now there's another guy in the family waiting for me to come home, we've made an appointment to watch a ball game night, and Asher has promised to make me salt and pepper ribs, so I'll have to go in a bit. 】
Seaman raised his head, his eyes were a little red, 【Michelle, tell me the truth, do you really miss me at all? 】
Michelle said frankly, [To be honest, I thought about it, but since I met Asher, I haven't. 】
After speaking, he took out his wallet from his pocket, took out six yuan, put it on the table, and pushed it to the other party.
[Repay your coffee money. 】
Michelle: 【I'm back】
Asher kept a straight face and didn't greet him: […]
Michelle asked while taking off her clothes, 【Are you going to ask me where I just went? 】
Continuing to keep a straight face, he peeled off a banana and bit it down: […]
Michelle: [Okay, I'll do it myself, I just had coffee with Seaman, don't stare at me, wait until I finish speaking. 】
Lifting his chin, motioned him to continue to 'confess and be lenient'.
Michelle: [I'm sorry that I didn't tell you about the private meeting with Seaman.But I told him it was over and I moved on.He should never look for me again. 】
The boy still didn't speak, and stared at him intently: […]
Michelle got goosebumps from his stare, trying to ease the atmosphere: [Really, I'm telling the truth...]
【…】
【By the way, what's for dinner?Damn, what's wrong with the kitchen?Are you really willing to smash it?Honey, you know that it cost us 2 yuan just to decorate this kitchen, right? 】
Michelle took a broom and a dustpan, and quickly swept the messy kitchen. A poor Chinese cabbage was implicated innocently. The surface was covered with knife marks, and the corpse was lying on the floor. The death was particularly horrific.
Asher still bowed his head and knocked on the computer, ignoring the other party as air, […]
Michelle also asked and answered happily: [Looking at you like this, you must not be in the mood to cook tonight. I can order takeaway. What do you want to eat? If I don’t answer this time, I will order my favorite Turkish kabab without permission? 】
After waiting for a few seconds, the pissed person finally spoke up, muttering in a low voice [I want to eat Indian curry, I remember the kind of naan with cheese. 】
Lawyer Mi was delighted to call and place an order.
A year and a half later, different places, same people.It may be due to fate, Michelle and Seaman actually met again because of a case, and they cooperated together. The case went smoothly and won the lawsuit.At the celebration banquet, the bosses of the two firms spent a lot of money and bought a lot of good wine for their subordinates to drink. Seaman was so drunk that he walked over to talk to Asher, and accidentally slipped on his feet. He almost threw himself into the street, but was steadied by Asher, and he fell into his arms with his head dizzy, with his tongue hanging out, and he just said: 【Why haven't you broken up with Michelle yet? 】
The angry Asher wanted to throw him on the ground again. In recent years, Chinese teenagers have been educated very well by the golden retriever uncle, and their temper has improved a lot. With the attitude of not getting angry with drunks, he reached out to help him up, [You drank how much?Stand up straight, can you stand up straight? 】
Seaman lay on him lazily like a boneless person, refusing to get up, and complained every sentence in his mouth: 【Why did you stay together for so long?How can you stay together for so long? "]
[I always look at one person every day, don't you get annoyed? 】
【Michelle, he is really nice, very gentle, very considerate... As long as you fall in love with him, he will treat you well forever】
Asher murmured after him, "Yeah, he's fine. He's gentle..."
Ximan grabbed him suddenly, his eyes were wide open, he was stunned for a while, and said with a choked voice: [Why should I be such an idiot, let such a good person go away from me...] After finishing speaking, he Crouching down on the floor, holding the headache and crying.
Asher called Michelle, and the two carried Seaman to the rest room and let him cry in it.Michelle walked over and bowed her head to kiss his face: "Angry? I told you not to come. You hate him so much, you must be even angrier when you see a real person."
Asher lowered his eyes, shook his head, and said softly, "I just learned something from his colleague..."
"what?"
"Seaman lost two big cases a while ago, both of which were framed by one of his boyfriends, which cost him a lot of money and almost ruined his reputation."
Michelle didn't speak after hearing this, and hugged Asher even more tightly.
The latter leaned into his arms and said lightly: "Maybe this is cause and effect. If you do something bad, retribution will come one day... I still envied him very much before, but now I feel that he seems to envy me even more."
Attorney Mi thought it was a compliment to himself, but he was happy: "Yes, it's great to be with me, many people are jealous."
Asher silently swallowed the complaints in his heart, pulled his head down, and kissed it.
When Seaman was in a relationship with Michelle, he thought that what he got was definitely not as good as what he didn’t get, and he didn’t cherish the other party’s feelings very much. He took it for granted that Michelle was good to him, one party gave infinitely, and the other party accepted infinitely. Relationships break down someday. Asher is different. After being with Michelle, although he always disliked him for being bad and bad, with an expression of "I'm in love with an idiot", he was always secretly worried: so gentle The person who treats me so well, I can't mess it up, I have to protect it and cherish it.
Perhaps this is the biggest difference between the two.
After the celebration banquet, Asher asked his uncle to take the drunken Seaman home with him. From that day on, he no longer rejected Seaman so much, but the other party never took the initiative to contact them again.
Sometimes, we think we have forgotten the past, but there is always something left in the corner to remind us of that memory.It could be an old photo, an unintentional reunion, or just a dream.As much as we try to avoid it, there will come a day when we have to face it, and the wisest way to do it is to speak up before it comes out.
If you're strong enough, you'll always find a way to push yourself forward, and if you're lucky enough, there will be people around you who love you when you back down.Ex-girlfriend, ex-boyfriend, ex-wife, ex-husband, ex-XX, etc., since there is a word "ex", it means that he has left your life.We all have to learn to let go of the past, let go of the burden in our hearts, and learn to reject and abandon, so that we can face the beautiful present with all our strength.Don't let these people who are clearly in your life slip away again.
