"I'm in! What's the sound?"

During the holiday, Chen Jie came to Tokyo again, but as soon as she entered the door, she heard the sound of machinery. Chen Jie followed the sound and saw cartoons coming out of a printer.

Next to the printer, there is a flashing computer: "Teacher, I have passed the final manuscript of the comic to you, please show it."

There were also messages on the computer chat interface. When Chen Jie was surprised, Meng Huo, who followed behind and walked into the room, explained: "That's Qin Ya. When I went to pick you up, I turned on the computer and asked her to send the comics remotely."

Chen Jie's eyes lit up suddenly: "Is the new comic? Can I take a look?"

"Of course." Meng Huo nodded: "Do you like her comics?"

"I am a senior female reader, it's impossible for her comics to be uninterested," Chen Jie said, and then picked up the printed manuscript.

"Then I'll go cook." Meng Huo turned around and went out to prepare dinner. Chen Jie sat down, but before reading the comics, she suddenly remembered something and took out her cell phone and sent a text message.

"Han Xuan, have you found that painting? It's been a week!"

The painting she mentioned was a sketch mentioned by Meng Huo not long ago. Chen Jie asked Han Xuan when she arrived at Su Hua last time, but Han Xuan said that she forgot where she put it and needed time to find it.

"It's so miserable! Chen Jie hasn't forgotten yet!" Han Xuan became nervous as soon as she received the text message: "She won't run over, right?"

Han Xuan didn't know that Chen Jie had gone to Tokyo, and she thought she might come over like last week.

In fact, the painting was not forgotten by Han Xuan. She just didn't want Chen Jie to take it away. In a hurry, Han Xuan sent another perfunctory text message and called Li Yu to her dormitory.

"Li Yu, you must help me this time. If Chen Jie sees the painting, she will definitely take it away!" After Li Yu entered the door, Han Xuan held her hand: "If Chen Jie runs over next time, I will say that the painting will be damaged accidentally back then. You have to testify to me."

"Actually, it's better for you to hand over that painting to Chen Jie." Li Yu sighed. Han Xuan was still the same, wanting to take over that painting.

She remembered the scene when she first saw that sketch, and Han Xuan's performance at that time seemed to suggest that she would not hand over the painting to others.

"Li Yu, Li Yu, I just met Meng Huo, and he drew a picture for us."

That was when they were still in their first year of high school. One day when Han Xuan came from the playground, she had a happy expression on her face. Li Yu rarely saw her so happy.

Meng Huo drew a sketch for the three of them. It was indeed a great work, but when he thought about it, Han Xuan's performance impressed Li Yu even more.

"Look, it's pretty. His paintings are better than those of the art teacher. It seems that he has carefully observed me and you."

"Don't you feel very curious about Meng Huo, you always feel mysterious. I heard that his family is very ordinary, so how could he have so many privileges in school?"

"You can't go to school, and the school will delay the music class for him. As expected, it's because he is a genius."

At that time, Han Xuan rarely said a lot about Meng Huo in front of Li Yu. But indeed, thinking about it, Meng Huo always gave her a very mature feeling in Li Yu's memory. After seeing him, the classmates around them became like children and had no boyish charm.

At that time, Meng Huo gave people the feeling that he was not very good at talking, and they didn't know his true identity, but his sense of stability was particularly safe. Even if Chen Jie was present and the four of them went out to have fun together, Meng Huo would naturally take the dominance.

"So too, Chen Jie, he was completely suppressed by him."

Li Yu thought. Then she sat down in Han Xuan's dormitory.

She looked at the carefully framed painting that Han Xuan took out, and many memories of the past were activated. She still remembered that Chen Jie was a heartthrob in their school at that time.

Not long after she entered the school, Chen Jie was already well-known at Ninghai No. 1 Middle School. She had excellent grades, was athletic and had a good personality. When she saw her, nine out of the ten boys had to blush.

But Meng Huo is indeed an exception. Under this boy's quiet appearance, he has a soul that is more mysterious and powerful than Chen Jie.

"To put it, it is because Meng Huo is better than Chen Jie that Han Xuan can do it." Li Yu thought, she knew why Han Xuan was unwilling to hand over this sketch to Chen Jie.

"Han Xuan, do you remember the words we both said at the same time when we saw this painting?" Li Yu put down the painting and looked up at Han Xuan and asked.

"We two? Yes, I think, is that sentence?"

"It should be that."

The two women looked at each other and then laughed: "Sure enough, the people who came out of Qingcheng are all monsters!"

The laughter was over. When they were still in their first year of high school, they often joked with Chen Jie and Meng Huo like this.

"However, the people who came out of Qingcheng are all monsters. Now let's see what they say." After laughing, Han Xuan then sighed: "Actually, we are all wrong. Qingcheng is just Chen Jie and Meng Huo. "

After Shen Jie and Meng Huo, Ninghai No. 1 Middle School also recruited several students from Qingcheng, but none of them showed the "strong" feeling of Chen Jie and Meng Huo.

"We are still bound by these two monsters now," Li Yu said with a smile. She drank tea and wondered whether she should make the words clearer.

"Han Xuan, I still think it's better to hand over the painting to Chen Jie. She didn't say she wanted to take the painting away, right?" Li Yu said.

"I know if she doesn't say it. If she sees it, she will definitely take it away." Han Xuan took the painting from Li Yu's hand: "This is mine. I asked Meng Huo who he was going to give to him. He didn't say he gave it to Chen Jie."

"But he said it was for us." Li Yu frowned: "It's not that it was for you."

"We have three people, but if Chen Jie knew about it, she would become her own. Meng Huo only gave us this gift. When I asked you if you wanted it, you said I would keep it!" Han Xuan refused to let him go.

Li Yu did agree with Han Xuan's approach back then, because both of them understood Chen Jie's temperament very well. If Chen Jie saw this painting, she would definitely take it away. There is no need for any reason as long as it was Meng Huo's painting.

Chen Jie's obsession with Meng Huo was understood by Han Xuan and Li Yu before she could see it from the perspective of the bystanders. However, Chen Jie has many Meng Huo things, and she does not lack such one.

Han Xuan and Li Yu had not got anything from Meng Huo, so they wanted to leave the painting. Li Yu gave the painting to Han Xuan for safekeeping. This was because she understood that Han Xuan cared about it more than herself.

This sketch of the three girls has a more special meaning to Han Xuan. It was handed over to her by Meng Huo, and it was also the first time she saw Meng Huo had her.

""Li Yu's mind flashed through everything, but the past is the past, and her current thoughts have changed: "Han Xuan, I still think it's better to hand over the painting to Chen Jie. It will always bind you when you are by your side."

Li Yu stretched out his hand: "Give it to me. If you don't want to let go, then let me leave it to Chen Jie."

Han Xuan's face turned cold: "What do you mean? Li Yu?"

"I, Han Xuan, have enough." Li Yu bit her lip and said what she said in her heart: "It's time for you to put Meng Huo down."

"Save that painting. It's not good for you."

"You, you will also take the initiative to say these words." Han Xuan's face changed slightly, but then he calmed down: "I thought you would keep in my heart and refused to say it."

Li Yu shook her head, she didn't want to say it at all. This kind of thing that exposed people's scars was not something she liked to do.

However, seeing Han Xuan like this today, she had to say something.

"You bind yourself to the past, Han Xuan." Li Yu held Han Xuan's hand: "Look at Liu Yun's way isn't it great. You can learn to find an ordinary boyfriend, and it's time to give yourself freedom."

"What about you?" Han Xuan smiled and said, "Why don't you go find someone?"

"Didn't I find the one I like?" Li Yu muttered: "I don't look like you. I'm afraid of getting in touch with boys."

"Are you waiting for other boys to chase you?" Han Xuan smiled even louder: "I heard that the editorial department is full of girls, and there are many unmarried editors, and the cartoonists you come into contact with are also girls."

"Ahhh, stop, stop!" Li Yu quickly waved his hand to refuse: What about your business, don't talk about it!"

"I know, right?" Han Xuan put away her smile: "Don't worry about me, I'll let it go sooner or later, but if it were so easy, Chen Jie should have let it go long ago."

"But Chen Jie really likes Meng Huo, you are not," said Li Yu.

"The reason you like Meng Huo. It's just because he is better than Chen Jie, right?" She looked at Han Xuan's shocked expression and continued: "You have never given up on your defeat. Until now, you have not given up comparing with Shen Jie. That doesn't like it at all."

After Han Xuan was stunned, she smiled bitterly. As expected, no one was a fool. Li Yu, who was closest to her, knew her thoughts better than anyone else.

Li Yu was right. The reason why Han Xuan liked Meng Huo was not because she liked him from the beginning. But because Meng Huo was better than Chen Jie. For Han Xuan, Meng Huo was a boy who was longing for, because he made Chen Jie, who was more powerful than himself, admit defeat, and that was the thought that Han Xuan had never extinguished in her heart.

No matter how powerful Chen Jie is, Han Xuan can never give up the idea of ​​comparing with her. She really wants to admit that Chen Jie is a person she will never be able to compare with in her life, but she has no choice.

Because Han Xuan had seen Chen Jie's fragile appearance, and had seen her as painful and like an ordinary girl, she had long seen that Chen Jie was a person, an ordinary girl.

And all ordinary girls, Han Xuan could not always look up to her. She knew that Chen Jie had weaknesses, and she longed to find the "pride" that was destroyed by Chen Jie.

"Li Yu, I have been very proud since I was a child," said Han Xuan: "When I first entered high school, Chen Jie destroyed my pride. But now, I can't tell myself like you, that I will never be as good as Chen Jie in my life."

Li Yu was silent. When she talked about pride, why didn’t she? In fact, among the foreign students who were admitted to Ninghai No. 1 Middle School, each of them was the pride of heaven in their hometown, and everyone would have pride in their hearts.

But as Han Xuan said, Li Yu had long since gotten away with Shen Jie. This is the right way to do it, but Han Xuan was unable to discard the last trace of pride, which led to the current situation.

"In front of Meng Huo, for the first time, I knew that Chen Jie was not a monster, but a person like herself. She would show the same sadness and pain as me, and that was all in front of Meng Huo, so I longed for Meng Huo very much." Han Xuan said: "He has accomplished what I can't do."

"So you actually don't like Meng Huo based on your own ideas. You just yearn for him to make Chen Jie accept defeat." Li Yu was a little sad.

However, Han Xuan didn't think so.

"I know what you are worried about for me, and I have asked myself many times," Han Xuan said: "I didn't quite understand when I was in high school, but I've got the answer after so many years."

“The answer is”

"I like him because he is stronger than Chen Jie," Han Xuan smiled.

But she then said, "But no matter what the reason for like is, I haven't let go of Meng Huo yet, but it's not because of my rebelliousness towards Chen Jie. Of course, this is not wrong."

"Until now, I still hope that one day I can beat Chen Jie in some respect. I want her to know that I am not one of her followers, although she may not care at all."

Li Yu couldn't understand: "Then you are still because of Chen Jie."

"No, no," Han Xuan interrupted Li Yu's words: "Chen Jie is Chen Jie, Meng Huo is Meng Huo. My resistance to Chen Jie is just to prove my pride, but I did not let go of Meng Huo, it has nothing to do with Shen Jie."

Li Yu had no choice but to: "But in the end, you haven't told me the reason yet."

"Maybe, this is my pride," Han Xuan said with a smile: "I have seen the sun, but the moon and the stars can't get in. I don't want to leave, but I don't have a chance, because so far I haven't seen anyone better than Meng Huo."

She had no choice. She was different from ordinary women. Han Xuan had a proud heart on her chest. When she fell in love with Meng Huo, she did not allow her to choose another person at will.

"But you haven't played like this, there are not many people in this world who are better than Meng Huo."

"And even if someone is better than him, he won't like me." Han Xuan knew better than Li Yu how stupid her pride was, but she couldn't change her nature.

"So, I won't let go of Li Yu, but I won't pick it up either. Time can change a lot of things."

Han Xuan told Li Yu about her thoughts that she was not bound by Meng Huo, because for her now, work and life are more realistic. Maybe after many years, her thoughts will change, or she will fall in love with another person.

How to choose Han Xuan's life, she gave it to her future self. She did not bind herself, but instead placed herself on the future. But now, she would not hand over that painting to Chen Jie.

"Chen Jie can't take everything away, and he's not married," Han Xuan picked up the painting and said, "I'll wait for him to get married, and then I'll give up completely."

"Your stubbornness is also a bit like Chen Jie." Li Yu couldn't help but smile, but she understood Han Xuan's thoughts, so she no longer continued to force it. (To be continued.)
