"I wasn't really expecting it, I just recently got involved with a schoolmate who is three years older than me."
"She's been working for over two years now and is still a partner in a company with a pretty high annual income."
"We'd been talking for two months when she proposed marriage, and I was due to graduate in another six months anyway, so I moved out of the school dormitory and lived with her."
"The two of them started to open up the various steps to get married."
"But, you know what? The most depressing thing came up."
Li Hang blinked and asked, "Does it mean that there's something wrong with this girlfriend of yours?"
Trumpet shook her head, "No, this girlfriend I have now is quite good."
"She is a career-oriented woman and is not very strict with me."
"What she asks of me is also very simple, just that I don't mess around, and she doesn't mind too much when I usually play games all night or whatever."
"Then why are you sighing?" To be honest, with Li Hang's status, it was unlikely that he would sit and chat with such an ordinary social youth in a park pavilion.
However, he now had a very inexplicable sense of substitution, as if he had become a member of society, and was no longer the high and mighty god of war.
"That's because I had an ex-girlfriend come back to me. She told me that she had overcome the obstacles at home and was going to stay with me and marry me."
"And one of them, who was also the young lady of the boss of a big group of companies, we had been in a relationship for a year and a half, and I knew everything about her and she knew me well, and the two of us were very mushy and lived sweetly every day, and our personalities got along well."
"But because her family opposed it, we had to break up in the end."
Li Hang smiled, Little Horn's current situation was actually so similar to Li Hang's.
Li Hang opened his mouth and asked Little Horn, "So what do you think about it?"
"I don't know, I have a headache right now, do you know that feeling?"
"Then it feels like two people you kinda like, one in the past tense and one in the present tense."
"Just when I've thought I've put her down, she appears in front of me again."
"All the bits and pieces of the past with her came flooding back."
"And even more shamefully, I developed a desire to ditch this current girlfriend and go live with a thousand-year-old lady."
As he spoke, Trumpet took another deep drag of his cigarette and exhaled, "Damn it! I used to think I was always dashing and open about relationships, so I was able to have several relationships within my short college career, the shortest one was even only a month."
"But now I feel like a fool stuck in a relationship that I can't run away from."
"This feeling of being torn between left and right is just too painful."
"And more than that, it makes me feel like a jerk myself, I even have a feeling that if I choose one, I'll owe the other."
Li Hang kept looking at Little Trumpet for a while, then he stood up, sat down next to Little Trumpet, took a cigarette out of his pocket and held one in his own mouth.
When Little Horn intended to take out a lighter from his pocket, Li Hang's hand gently touched the cigarette, and at once the cigarette was lit.
Li Hang took a deep breath and then exhaled one round smoke ring after another.
