To be honest, if Mingyue wasn't a female assistant teacher at No. 7 Middle School, and the meeting place was not in a milk tea shop near No. 7 Middle School, based on Liu Jiajia's personality, she would definitely not come out to meet a strange female netizen.
However, in front of her friends, Liu Jiajia always acted like a loving model couple with Zhang Peng, and she really couldn't find anyone to confide in, so she accepted Mingyue's invitation.
The place Mingyue had agreed to meet was her own milk tea shop. Not long after she arrived, she saw Liu Jiajia walk in. She was wearing a grey long-sleeved shirt and long pants, which wrapped her figure tightly.
You have to know that it is July now, the hottest weather of the year, and there is even an orange high temperature warning today.
Mingyue felt strange but didn't show it on her face.
Mingyue waved at her and called out with a smile, "Jia Jia, here."
Liu Jiajia looked over subconsciously, and when she saw that Mingyue was the only girl there, she immediately felt relieved.
But when she thought that this was a stranger, Liu Jiajia couldn't help but feel a little regretful. In fact, she was a socially anxious person.
But since she was already there, Liu Jiajia pursed her lips and finally walked over.
Mingyue handed over the milk tea in her hand, and said with a smile: "Here, I don't know what you like to drink, so I ordered the signature milk tea for you."
Liu Jiajia took the milk tea awkwardly and said in a soft voice, "Thank you."
"You're welcome. Actually, this is my shop. You can have unlimited refills after you finish your drink~" Mingyue winked at her and said playfully.
Liu Jiajia raised her head and looked at Mingyue in surprise, then lowered her head again and exclaimed: "You are amazing."
In real life, Liu Jiajia is not as active as she is online. She doesn't even dare to look others in the eye. Whether she is talking or looking at people, she always keeps her head down, exuding an air of insecurity.
So Mingyue, who was waiting to hear her talk about her relationship problems, waited and waited, but ended up waiting in silence.
Mingyue realized the problem at this moment. Judging from Liu Jiajia's temperament, the matter was obviously much more serious than she thought.
You should know that the Liu Jiajia in the original owner's memory is her in prison five years later. At that time, she was like a hedgehog, with an extremely sharp personality. Whenever the original owner mentioned that she would marry Xu Haoze after being released from prison, she would ridicule the original owner in various ways, saying that men are unreliable. However, she also took good care of the original owner in prison. In fact, she is a person who is hard-mouthed and soft-hearted.
But who would have known that Liu Jiajia is now shy and timid, just an ordinary little girl!
If the mountain doesn't come to me, I will go to the mountain.
In the end, Mingyue chose to take the initiative. She looked at Liu Jiajia's face and praised her sincerely: "Jiajia, you are not wearing any makeup today, right? I found that your skin is really good, your eyes are beautiful, your nose is very straight, and you have dimples. You are much more beautiful in person than in the selfie you sent me. You are simply the sweetest girl."
Liu Jiajia was stunned when she heard this, and soon a blush appeared on her face.
Just thinking about what her boyfriend said, Liu Jiajia touched her hair a little unconfidently and asked doubtfully: "Really? Don't you think my double eyelids are a little too double and look like they were surgically done? The dimples also look artificial, and my canine teeth look silly, and even my mouth is too small..."
Mingyue interrupted her self-doubt and said firmly: "No, why would you say that? You really look very well-behaved and sweet. If a woman finds fault with you, it's out of jealousy and envy. If a man says you are not good-looking, then he is really blind."
Liu Jiajia's ears started to burn from Mingyue's praise, and she didn't notice that the corners of her mouth had unconsciously curled up.
"I'm not as pretty as you say." She put a strand of hair behind her ear and secretly pinched her hot ear. Mingyue took a sip of milk tea: "That's right, if it weren't for your simple personality, I would have thought you were being Versailles when you said you were not good at this or that."
The dimples on Liu Jiajia's face became deeper, and she finally relaxed.
After a while, she mustered up the courage to look at Mingyue, bit her lip and said, "Actually, I want to tell you about me and my boyfriend. Would you like to listen?"
Mingyue thought to herself: It’s finally here.
"Of course, go ahead and talk. I'm all ears." Mingyue raised her glass to her and winked.
Liu Jiajia couldn't help but smile, but soon frowned again: "He and I met because of my part-time job, at that time..."
It turns out that Liu Jiajia met Zhang Peng when she was doing a part-time job in college. Zhang Peng was a technical secondary school graduate, but he was very good at chatting and making people happy. At that time, Liu Jiajia didn't want to establish a romantic relationship with him, but under his persistence and his calls of "dear wife and baby", she finally let down her guard and became his girlfriend.
Although she was a girlfriend, Liu Jiajia did not enjoy any treatment as a girlfriend.
She seemed to be in love with her mobile phone and chatted with Zhang Peng online every day.
Even though they lived only half an hour away from each other, he never came to see her again after she refused to have any kind of relationship with him.
He still said words of love to comfort her, but his actions did not show any sign of love.
During the previous year of their relationship, Liu Jiajia kept telling herself that she was not a gold digger and that she was not dating Zhang Peng for money and gifts, but for a true heart. That's why she endured those holidays without flowers and gifts, and tolerated the care that was only received in words.
Even when Zhang Peng said she didn't look good in skirts, she started wearing trousers. After Zhang Peng said she looked like she wanted to eat a child after putting on makeup, she met people without makeup all day. After Zhang Peng forbade her to have male friends, she alienated all her friends of the opposite sex.
But as she became less and less confident, as she had fewer and fewer friends, and as she became more and more dependent on Zhang Peng, it seemed that everything about her was wrong in Zhang Peng's eyes.
Zhang Peng always suppressed and ridiculed her in various ways, so she became more and more afraid of other people's eyes. She always felt that she was full of shortcomings and not worthy of being liked.
Gradually, she almost forgot that she was once a cheerful and lively girl.
It was also the one-year anniversary of this relationship. The screenshot sent by her mutual friend who used to work part-time with her gave her a wake-up call and made her sober up for a moment from this relationship.
But she had changed so much and given so much for Zhang Peng. She was reluctant and unwilling to leave like that.
But should we continue this relationship
Thinking about the gift and explanation that she had waited all night for but never received, the embarrassment she would feel when her friends asked Zhang Peng about the return gift, and the countless disappointing moments of this year, Liu Jiajia was wavering and couldn't make up her mind at all.
She wiped her tears and asked softly, "If you were me, what would you do?"
