Her Male Roommate

The Days Feel like Years

As if disturbed by the noise, Liam turned his head slightly and opened his eyes.

There seemed to be awkwardness converging in the air.

Liam was silent and looked at her quietly. His eyes were clear, without the slightest sense of loss of focus when he just woke up.

His eyebrows and eyes were extremely beautiful.

Coupled with the fact that he was always dismissive of anything, he looked sharp.

At this moment, Olive had the feeling that he would make a frenzied mockery of "dream girl" in the next second.

Alice took the initiative to say, "Do you know each other?"

Henry, "Well, high school classmates."

When Olive withdrew her sight and was about to say a word to bring this topic to a complete end, Alice came to the sentence with no emotional intelligence, "What does dream girl mean? Is it that your friend used to chase Olive but didn't get her? "

Henry laughed carelessly and said, "That's right."

"..."

No wonder these two were a couple.

In this situation, Olive could not fool around no matter how much he wanted to.

She clearly realized that the masks that had been tacitly placed on each other's faces were torn apart by the two people in front of her at this moment, leaving only a little bit of cover.

She didn’t expect Liam to say anything to bring it back to the scene.

Knowing that he had always been proud, Olive said calmly, "Really? I don't know about this. Henry, you are wrong."

"How is it possible? You two-- "Speaking of which, Henry sensed in hindsight that something was wrong." Hey, are you two embarrassed or something? Come on, how many years has it been? I'm just mentioning it as a funny thing. "

Alice, "How long has it been since you saw each other?"

"I can't figure that out. Olive, you've only been in our school for one year, haven't you?"

Henry said, "I remember you transferred to another school in the first year of high school or the second year of high school."

Olive said earnestly, "In the second semester of the second year of senior high school."

"In that case, it will be seven or eight years."

Noticing Liam, who had been silent, Henry said, "Liam, why don't you say anything? It's been seven or eight years! You're not still upset about that, are you? "

Liam lowered his eyes again and ignored him.

"Impressive."

Henry complained, "Olive, you don't have to pay attention to him. You also know what he looks like, with eyes on the top of his motherfucking head. He probably thinks you didn't like him because you were blind, but he doesn't know how annoying he is."

Alice interrupted him, "Henry, stop it, don't talk about your friend like that."

"..."

Henry held back the rest of his words, frowned, and took a look at Alice.

"You have to concentrate on driving, or it won't be safe."

Aware of his mood, Alice immediately said, "Don't be unhappy. I'm just reminding you."

Henry smiled and said, "I'm not. Thank you for reminding me."

They arrived at the place to eat.

It was not good for Olive to say that she wanted to leave.

After all, Liam didn't say anything. If she left, he might think that she was so concerned about the past that she couldn't even have a meal with him.

But what Olive did not expect was that the "friends" in Alice's earlier sentence were literally many friends.

They booked a box, which was full of people by now.

According to reason, Olive was brought by Alice and was supposed to sit with her.

But the remaining four positions were connected in pairs, so she decisively left Olive and went to sit with Henry.

Olive was so forced to sit with Liam.

In this way, Olive seemed to have been brought by Liam.

A man booed and said, "Liam, why do you have a girlfriend all of a sudden?"

Henry slurped, "Don't talk nonsense. He doesn’t deserve this match. This is our old classmate, the famous beauty of our high school at that time. Mike, do you remember, didn't you go to South Star No.1 Middle School? "

"I remember, Olive. And I was in the same class as your friend, Abigail. "

A fat man beside Liam looked at Olive and smiled a little sheepishly. "I've seen her post a picture with you."

Olive bent her lips and nodded.

The next moment, another man said, "f**k me, Mike, why are you blushing?"

Liam didn't participate in their topic at all, and no matter how many people mentioned his name during this period, he didn't seem to hear him at all.

Hearing this, he made a little movement and looked up in the direction of Mike.

Henry, "Isn't he always like this? He can't talk when he sees a beautiful woman."

Perhaps because she felt neglected, Alice was not happy and began to cut in their topic, "What, how can you say that another woman is beautiful in front of me?"

After a few seconds of silence, Henry coaxed, "Honey, how do you understand this? Don't be jealous.

……

The food in this restaurant was served very slowly, and there were a group of men on the table chatting, but not a single dish has been served for a long time.

But the topic gradually drifted apart, and some of the attention attracted by the arrival of her as a stranger gradually faded away.

Olive relaxed a bit and inadvertently looked at Liam.

Liam did not participate in the chat and was playing with his mobile phone with his head down at this time, looking like he didn't care about anything.

Olive bowed her head and drank water.

She felt like she doesn't fit in here.

After a while, Alice suddenly kissed Henry's face, got up, and walked to Olive's position.

She grabbed Olive's wrist and smiled and said, "Olive, let's go. Accompany me to the bathroom. "

Olive stood up.

She picked her bag up silently when she caught a glimpse of it she had put on the chair.

Following the sign, the two went into the toilet.

Alice took the lipstick out to fix her makeup and said in small talk, "Have you refused that Sangyan before?"

Olive did not answer.

Alice thought she acquiesced. She was very surprised and said, "Do you know the 'overtime' bar near our company? It was a joint venture between him and my boyfriend and another man. "

"..."

"He is tall, handsome, and rich. Why did you refuse him?"

Alice shook her head, unable to understand, "Are you asking too much? But after all these years, I think he has no feelings for you."

"It's all over."

Olive smiled gently, then took out her cell phone and looked at it. "Alice, I'm so sorry. I have to go back. Frank asked me to hand in a manuscript to him tonight, so please tell your friend for me. "

Alice said, a little unhappy, "Just one meal won't waste any time."

"He is in a hurry."

Olive said, "I don't dare to procrastinate either. "

"Oh, that's all right."

Alice curled her lips and said, "Then be careful on your own way. I'll go back first."

"Well, thank you, Alice. See you tomorrow. "

After Alice left, Olive turned on the faucet and washed her hands.

She didn't know if she had upset Alice, but she really didn't want to stay at the party where she didn't know anyone.

Olive breathed a sigh of relief and drew a paper towel to dry her hands.

As soon as she went out, Olive bumped into Liam, who came out of the men's room opposite.

This time he did not skip her as if she were air, as Olive thought.

Liam stopped, looking pale, standing in the same place and looking down at her.

Olive inexplicably felt that the scene was a little familiar.

It reminded her of the reunion with him in the hallway when she first went back to the overtime bar.

But the situation this time was completely different from that at that time.

It was like doing it all over again.

Return to the normal mode of development.

Judging from his silent attitude tonight, Olive felt absolutely no need to mention the previous meeting.

She nodded to him and greeted him politely as if she had met for the first time in years.

"Long time no see."

But to her surprise, Liam did not seem to intend to maintain a superficial peace with her.

He was still in the same posture with scrutiny, leisurely repeating, "Long time no see?"

The tone of his voice made Olive not clear whether it was a question or a statement.

Then Liam said, "It's only been a few days since the New year. Do you think the days feel like years..." he paused and slowly tore up the rest of the cover.

"Since you can’t see me?"
