While waiting on the street, Huang Mei's eyes were drawn to a couple sitting at a roadside restaurant. Instantly, she fell into deep thought and lost herself in the old days...when she used to go to school with Zhang Fang every day along this road.
They were both very good friends, best friends! Although Huang Mei did not know how Zhang Fang felt about her at that time, Huang Mei loved Zhang Fang very much in her heart...
They used to spend hours sitting in this restaurant talking about studies or any ridiculous nonsense topic whenever they got time. Had coffee, ate beef steak. Beef steak was Zhang Fang's favorite food! This beef steak became Huang Mei's favorite food while living with Zhang Fang. Zhang Fang was brilliant in studies, especially in math. Huang Mei often had to take Zhang Fang's help in solving math. Maybe it was because of Zhang Fang that Huang Mei would get into trouble whenever she did math. Math also knew who Huang Mei really wanted...
Days go by, months go by, years go by. The day of passing school and becoming a college student approaches. But what will Huang Mei do if she can't study together with Zhang Fang in college? Huang Mei passed each day in fear.
Zhang Fang and Huang Mei got chances in universities in different cities. Huang Mei was depressed all day that day. The next day Zhang Fang suddenly disappeared. Disappeared means completely disappeared! Huang Mei made many calls, sent baskets of texts, but Zhang Fang was nowhere to be found. She went to Zhang Fang's house and learned that Zhang Fang had already left for his university town. Huang Mei stood on the bridge and began to cry, finally her bad thoughts came true...
But to Huang Mei's surprise, Zhang Fang stood behind her with luggage. Huang Mei couldn't help herself, she hugged Zhang Fang while crying and was beating Zhang Fang continuously.
Zhang Fang patted Huang Mei's head very gently...
- “Foolish girl, why are you crying like this? Do you have to do this to me just because I didn't reply to the calls and messages of yours?”
- “I thought you left without telling me!”
- “Never.”
Huang Mei mustered up the courage to speak her mind today. But in the meantime, a familiar but different voice whispered in Huang Mei's ear, “Huang Mei, I love you.”
Huang Mei couldn't believe her ears. She suddenly wanted to go and dance in the middle of the street with joy. She never felt so happy before! But Huang Mei couldn't say anything. She looked with big eyes.
- “I said, I love you. Won't you say anything? At least you can reject....”
- “I do! I-I mean Me, too!”
Zhang Fang laughed at Huang Mei's condition...
“Ma-maa” Zhang Mu's call ends Huang Mei's thoughts...
- “Mu Mu.” Huang Mei took her daughter in her arms and caressed her.
- “Where is your father?”
- “Dad is buying beef steak.”
- “Here I am!” Zhang Fang came with a bag of beef steaks. Zhang Fang smiled at them and said, “Let's go home!”
“Life is very strange. The Zhang Fang of that day, who was the first love of my life, today he is the father of my child. He was just my best friend then, and today he is the best friend in my life as well as the best person in my lifetime!” - Huang Mei
