Ambiguous Relationship

Chapter 3: In the supermarket

A lot of circumstances in this world are very strange.

For example, when Chen Ruo Yu was pursuing Meng Gu, she was not sure how deep was her feelings for him.  It was just that she felt he was someone with good qualities, therefore, he would make a good partner, a good target and a good candidate.  Perhaps at that time, the important point she focused on was making a breakthrough in the egoist unacceptable concept of a woman pursuing a man or perhaps it was tension and stress that made her look forward to success and overlooked her own feelings.

Anyway, when she felt hurt and decided not to force herself to do something that she was not capable of doing, strange things began to happen. She thought she would hate Meng Gu and very quickly would be able to forget him.

But she could not.

She missed him even more than when she was pursuing him.

She did not understand how her perverted heart came about.  In short, he was constantly lurking at the back of her mind and he would frequently and unconsciously appear in her mind. She would always think of his smile, his many kinds of smiles……his gentle smiles, his cold smiles,his mischievous smiles, his funny smiles, his emotionless smiles, his hypocritical smiles,his arrogant smiles…….  All his smiles were rich and it was easy to differentiate his smiles.

She did not look for him again, hiding away and only thought of his smiles.

His smile is so captivating that her heart drums whenever she thinks of him.

Unfortunately, she could not remember some of the smiles on his face when they were talking because his smiles would be more during that time.  She thought the reason she could not remember was that the man was not sincere towards her, so such detailed memories were not able to stay in her heart. 

She was not clear how herheart felt about this matter but just the thoughts this man, it would make her feel unhappy.  She told herself that her previous decisions were wrong and making men like Meng Gu as her target was a mistake. Although he is good-looking, he has a good job, his personality seems to be good but both of them were not on the same path.  So that was why such an unfavorable situation was created.   As a pragmatic modern woman, this kind of illusions must be tossed aside and it was best to live her life to the fullest.

She is not young anymore andshe should look for a sincere and serious man.  She shouldblook for a man who lives in the same world as her, a man who will stay with her and live a happy life with her.

That day, Chen Ruo Yu went shopping in the supermarket and met Meng Gu.  She was shocked.  She had stayed in this neighborhood for so long and had come to this supermarket countless times,she had never met him.  After she had made up her mind never to see him again, why did she meet him here?  Could there be really such a coincidence?

Chen Ruo Yu decided to pretend she did not see him.

Quickly, she put two packets of dried noodles into her shopping cart, then hurriedly turned around and headed towards the cashier's counter. Although she hurried off, she had seen Meng Gu with his head bowed down in the coldstorage zone selecting those ultra-expensive imported beefsteaks and in his shopping cart, there were also two cartons of premium eggs.

So the both of them were really from two different worlds*.

(Two different worlds heremeans they are different interms of status in society and financially.)

She never buys eggs in the supermarket. The eggs in the supermarket were priced so high that for a carton of eggs here, she would be able to get three cartons in the common market.  As for the imported beef steaks, she had carefully read the labels on the plastic wrapping in the past.  A thin piece of beefsteak was able to sustain her food expenses for awhole week.
