"At that time, I was addicted to marijuana. The situation at that time was the same as your situation in the bar just now. There were many people staring at some young people who did not know the world, using their curiosity to lure them into The abyss of darkness. It was the darkest period of my life, and I lived a life of drunken dreams every day... until one day my parents came to see me, and they held my skinny hand and cried so sadly."
"Seeing them sad, I couldn't help but shed tears. It was at that time that I understood one thing. There are still many people who care about me and love me in this world. I can't break their hearts. Later, I quit drugs and stayed away from those boys... Although I still like the same sex in my heart, at least as long as my parents are alive, I don't want to make them sad again."
Having said that, he turned to look at Lan Xi'er, and said seriously: "I know you are also in pain now, but have you thought about your parents and your friends? Have you thought about your original intention of coming here? I Remember you once told me that you came here to become a better person... "
Lan Xi'er fell silent, at that moment she didn't dare to look directly into Alex's sincere and calm eyes. She almost forgot what kind of belief she had when she came here.
"Xi'er, you must cheer up." Alex patted her on the shoulder lightly, "People like me live so strong, why can't you?"
"Alex..." Lan Xi'er choked up a little, she held onto his arm tightly, "There's nothing wrong with liking the same sex, don't say that about yourself."
"Thank you for your understanding." Alex twitched the corner of his mouth with difficulty, "I will adjust my affairs myself, I just hope you can forget all the unhappy things in the past and live for yourself again. How? There are many people who have no children and still live a wonderful life. Whether a person is happy depends on her mentality. If you even give up yourself, how can you be happy?"
Since that night, Lan Xi'er has completely changed. She no longer tortured her body with endless part-time jobs, but put more energy on her studies.
She has a high sensitivity to fashion and is quite talented in the field of design. After more than two years of hard work, she has become a famous figure in the school. She has participated in several design competitions on behalf of the school and won several international awards.
Not only that, but she also became more confident and attractive. The clothes and jewelry she wears are all designed by herself, full of fashion. No matter where she goes, she is the focus of everyone and a fashion benchmark to imitate.
It was in that year that she decided to return to China. Because she finally fulfilled her wish and became what she wanted in her heart.
For the city of Adelaide, the only thing she can't let go of is her friend Alex who has been with her for many years.
Along the way, they became the most important people in each other's lives. They trust each other and support each other. This friendship far exceeds ordinary friendship, but it is definitely not love.
"Alex, I'm leaving, will you miss me?" On the day before leaving, Lan Xi'er bid farewell to her best friend for many years in the candlelit western restaurant.
