The first time I had an intimate encounter with Xiao Huai was when I was 19 years old. Xiao Huai is just a few days younger than me. I pressed him, "Do you hate me?"
Xiao Huai frowned and asked, "Why are you always hanging out with those guys?"
I smiled at him, "Are you jealous?"
Xiao Huai snorted, "I’m not jealous."
I pouted, "Then why do you care about me?"
Xiao Huai fell silent.
I deliberately teased him, standing on my tiptoes to give him a peck on the cheek. He widened his eyes at me, his face quickly turning red.
Seeing him shy made my heart bloom with joy.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
Xiao Huai swallowed hard, his breathing becoming a bit rapid.
I stared at his attractive Adam's apple, my mind going blank.
In the next moment, I pulled him by the collar and leaned in to kiss him. He froze for a second before taking control and pressing me against the wall to kiss me back.
That was our first kiss, and I thought we would be together for a lifetime.
But that night, Xiao Huai looked at me strangely. He said, "Jiang Yue, don’t regret it."
Then he started tugging at my clothes.
I was startled and quickly pushed him away.
Xiao Huai was taken aback for a moment before looking at me with red-rimmed eyes and asking, "You don’t want to?"
I felt incredibly awkward and stammered, "I... I'm just too nervous."
Xiao Huai took a deep breath and gritted his teeth as he said two words: "Get out."
I looked at him, unsure of what to do.
Xiao Huai raised his voice, "I said get out!"
I had no choice but to leave. Later, Xiao Huai got into college and met a new girlfriend there. They were together for four years and broke up the day before Xiao Huai went abroad. I learned about this from Xiao An's chat records. I originally wanted to add Xiao Huai on WeChat to say "Safe travels," but I didn't want to make a fool of myself, so I never sent that message.
Xiao Huai will probably never know that I secretly liked him. I took out my phone, found Xiao Huai's WeChat, clicked the send button, and typed a few words: "Safe travels." The message was sent successfully. Xiao Huai didn't reply, and I didn't expect him to.
I blocked Xiao Huai. I was demoted. On the day the HR department called me, I was hiding under the covers, feeling down. "Jiang Yue, due to your performance, the company has decided to transfer you to the publicity department as a data administrator." "Okay, thank you."
The position of data administrator is essentially just doing miscellaneous tasks. My daily work involves sending and receiving documents, printing documents, organizing files, and cleaning. Although these tasks are trivial, they are extremely time-consuming and exhausting. I leave early and return late every day, with a huge workload.
My quality of life has rapidly declined. Since I can't cook, Ma Jia usually makes meals for me. Now that work is so busy, I order takeout every day. Today, I worked late, and just as I stepped out of the company gate, I received a WeChat message from Ma Jia.
"Why hasn't my salary been transferred this month?"
Reading this message made my heart sink. I walked over to a bench and replied to her.
"I'll transfer it to you now."
"Okay, thank you."
As I looked at Ma Jia's reply, I felt a bit uneasy. I transferred all the money to Ma Jia without saying another word. Ma Jia didn't try to chat with me anymore either. After a while, she sent me a voice message.
"Jiang Yue, I've found a place for us. Once we get married at the end of the year, we'll pay the down payment."
"Okay."
Listening to Ma Jia's voice made tears fall uncontrollably from my eyes. I felt so exhausted. Every day, all I do is work; I have no time to spend with Ma Jia. Moreover, I don't want to burden her with my fatigue. She works hard too, and I don't want her to worry about me.
