I am the fat man

There used to be a fair-looking girl in the junior high school class. She looked so good in my eyes, but I didn't have much chance to contact her. It took many years to learn that she became a lover with a handsome boy in our class after graduation. The 2 people stayed happily for a long time together. I was pregnant before and didn't give birth, otherwise I would really get married (is it very similar to the movie?)
But because of the girl's selfish and immature character, the two eventually separated. After breaking up, she also found many other boys, but she could not forget him in junior high school. . . . How did I know? ? It was because she was sad, she was desperate, and it happened that I accidentally met her (I haven't seen her for nearly 20 years), she told me in bed.
Yes, I am the fat man. I'm the short and chubby man who plays with my computer, toys, and gadgets at home all day long. I don't have a girlfriend in my 30s.
Although we went to bed many times, she still didn't want to kiss me. Later left me completely. I know I am just a spare tire. Seeing the fat man in the movie, I feel so touched. The heroine woke up the next day, just like the first time she woke up, she didn't want to say goodbye to the fat man and left. Because fat people have no status.
That junior high school girl is so similar to the movie heroine. Once the aura, once the romance, now lonely and desperate, now the old age is gone. The story of the movie is as if I had written it myself. . . But what happened last month is even more coincidental.
It was Valentine's Day last month. While everyone was here during the Chinese New Year, some of our junior high school classmates organized a party again—that girl led the party. Called me, called the handsome boy she likes. That boy now lives in Chengdu and is about to get married. He has a house and a good job. Everything looks so perfect and happy. At the party, the girl, just like Theron in the movie, used all kinds of exaggerated gestures and words to seduce the handsome boy to turn back. I just sat silently, there was no me in her eyes, and she ignored me. The handsome boy has a complicated expression, and his past is hard to let go. Under the dim light, the girl's eyes were full of despair while smiling. She has ivory skin in the memory, but now she is so dry and rough under the light.
After the party, everyone left one after another, and the two of them were still stuck. I knew they wanted to open the house. I finally left and saw two of them walking side by side on the street from the car window. On Valentine's Day, I was still quite depressed when I saw the girls who had been with me and others walk away. The spare tire feels full.
Then they really went to open the room, she called me the next day. But the boy didn't want to look back. The boy returned to Chengdu the next day to start his life. She failed, she was in pain, and then called me for comfort. I didn't know what to say, I just said "It's a shame that you can't be together".
If I had watched the movie before that day, my answer might be different. In this director's movie, you can always see some life insights from a lot of trivia. Just like "in the clouds" about career and love, "teenagers" about regret and happiness.
However, what I haven't said is that everything about her is her own. Just like the heroine in the movie. Your own character determines your own destiny.
We are born with such a spare birth to want to be beautiful women like you.
