"of course not."
Natasha quickly smiled and said a little embarrassedly: "I'm just a little curious. Well, although it's presumptuous, my personal relationship is actually a mess. So, I envy you for being able to have such... such an enviable relationship."
Li Xiaomi blushed for a moment, then said, "Ms. Beth, is your husband not good to you?"
"I'm not married yet." Natasha smiled.
Li Xiaomi was stunned for a moment, then quickly said, "Sorry, Miss Beth, I didn't mean it."
"It's okay." Natasha gently stirred the coffee in the cup and said, "He was a man that I could only look up to. He had unimaginable lofty goals. Moreover, by his side, he already had a girlfriend who could understand, trust, and bring him warmth. And I... he actually never really saw me."
Li Xiaomi was startled and quickly took a sip of coffee to cover up. When she found that Natasha was still looking at her, she said, "I'm sorry... Miss Beth looks very beautiful and so successful. I really didn't expect that there is any kind of man that you need to look up to."
"Yes." Natasha sighed: "I have been successful enough, but in fact my success is only because of his success. And there is still a long way to go to the farthest goal."
She smiled and said, "You are very enviable. I sincerely congratulate you on finding a man who loves you and whom you also love."
"Love..." Li Xiaomi subconsciously propped up her chin: "It seems like a simple thing, but it's actually not that simple."
As long as it concerns people, how can anything be simple
Natasha let out a sigh: "Maybe it's a bit presumptuous, but I hope to be friends with you. Although you and I are superiors and subordinates at work, I hope that we can become close friends in life."
"Really?" Li Xiaomi blinked, then realized that she had unconsciously placed her arm on the table. After taking it down, she smiled embarrassedly: "If that's the case, then I'll be very happy. Although I live there, I don't have many friends. The only few I met were those I met in college. Now that I'm leaving, I'm really worried that I won't have any familiar friends there, and I don't know who to talk to about some things. To be honest, if I hadn't met him, I'm afraid... I would stay here to live."
Natasha looked at Li Xiaomi. The more she looked, the more she felt the simplicity of this girl.
Her world is so well-organized.
The only things are my own use and my feelings for Xia Zhiye.
This girl has already paid enough for this relationship. Not to mention Xia Zhiye's attitude towards him, even if it was just for this girl, what qualifications did he have to deprive her of anything
But... I'm still unwilling.
She looked at Li Xiaomi and suddenly asked, "Have you ever worried that your boyfriend, um, will get involved with other women at work or at other times? You know, successful men always attract women's attention. The more outstanding a man is, the more outstanding women he will attract."
Speaking of this, Li Xiaomi suddenly became serious, with a serious look on her face: "Actually, I dare not think about it."
"Don't dare?" Natasha blinked.
"Yeah." Li Xiaomi said, "I can't help him. Sometimes we don't see each other for a long time. There must be female colleagues or friends around him. But... I can't get in touch with them. What's the point of worrying?"
"But, this kind of feeling..." Natasha suddenly put herself into Li Xiaomi's world.
Confusion and helplessness surrounded me in an instant.
The only thing I can rely on is my confidence in my boyfriend, believing that he loves me as much as I love him.
Even though they couldn't see each other for a long time, the short time together gave her enough courage to face this confusion again.
This girl... This girl...
Even though she was a love rival, she suddenly felt that she couldn't even harbor the slightest hatred towards this girl.
Her love is unreserved. She opens up everything she has and is willing to accept everything, even the possibility of hurt.
She also suddenly understood why Xia Zhiye couldn't bear to hurt the girl in the slightest in this matter, even though he had done so much.
She is kind, innocent, pure, and lives a simple life. She does not have her own ups and downs, nor is she strong... To this girl, the slightest harm is actually the ultimate cruelty.
She bit her lip. It was still unfair!
The unfair thing is that the girl in front of him can't participate in the world of summer nights at all!
But I... can.
Is this life
Natasha looked at Li Xiaomi and fell into deep thought, while Li Xiaomi also began to think about her own thoughts. The two women sat there quietly, each emitting their own thoughts.
After a while, Natasha was the first to wake up. She lowered her head to look at the drawings in her hands, and suddenly took out the one in which Xia Zhiye looked pale and in pain, and in a dishevelled state.
"I like this one very much, can you give it to me?" Natasha asked.
"... um..." Li Xiaomi hesitated.
I changed to another work, so it's okay to give one as a gift, but... this one shows a summer night.
But looking at Natasha's eyes, she inexplicably softened her heart.
She didn't know what was so special about this look, but it was a magical look that could communicate to the bottom of her heart in an instant.
She nodded as if possessed by a ghost: "Okay."
"Thank you, you are really a kind little angel." Natasha looked at Li Xiaomi, then stood up and said, "I am very satisfied with our meeting this time, and I hope that we can get along harmoniously and happily in the future. Thank you for coming to see me during your busy classes."
"It's nothing. This is what I should do." Li Xiaomi also stood up.
I watched Natasha say goodbye and leave, watched her walk out of the coffee shop, and watched her disappear in the vast crowd.
She suddenly felt that the back of this woman... was very lonely.
"What kind of person is the man she loves?" Li Xiaomi guessed in her heart: "He must be a big pig's hoof! He obviously has a girlfriend, but he is still so attractive and hurts Miss Beth, such a good person..."
