Thousands of Hours Chapter 3 The Last Connection to the World
In the memory of the rest of her life, Fang Jie is a girl as clear as water, clear and soft, so clean that people can't help but feel pity.
So when he saw Fang Jie, a newcomer to the company, for the first time in the rest of his life, he was like a drowning person, deeply trapped and unable to extricate himself.
But with the restrained nature of the rest of his life, if it weren't for the various divine assistance that his colleagues in the company were happy to see, he would not be able to open his mouth after about ten years on his own.
As a result, Yu Sheng sincerely thanked his group of colleagues and friends who always seemed unreliable, and cherished this hard-won relationship even more.
Fang Jie is the first love of the rest of her life.
is different from his younger brother Yu Ye, because of his ordinary appearance and introverted personality, he has not had any girl's relationship since he was a child, let alone a childhood sweetheart who has been affectionate since childhood. If you don't count the interaction between boys and girls when he was a student, he didn't really hold a girl's hand for the first time at the age of twenty-seven.
So for the rest of his life, he was more passive in this relationship, and the experience of his parents' divorce when he was a child left a deep shadow in his heart. He was originally the kind of person who couldn't express even if he cared about it in his heart, and this relationship brought him back to normal to a certain extent.
The lazy rotten good guy was dragged forward by this relationship all the way for the rest of his life, passively learning how to get along with girls, how to please girls, and how to deal with a girl's unpredictable psychology. It's all so complicated that I can't breathe for the rest of my life.
When the rest of his life finally got used to it and began to feel a full happiness and satisfaction of being cared for, Fang Jie slowly became bored with this kind of life for the rest of his life.
But for the rest of his life, he still worked carefully to maintain this relationship, becoming more and more careful, more and more humble, more and more like a wagging tail trying to please his master, but he didn't know that this was what Fang Jie was tired of.
Feelings are not equal, the easier it is to get, the less it will be cherished, and the rest of my life at that time did not understand this truth.
After the breakup, his father died unexpectedly, and there was no support for the rest of his life, which coincided with his younger brother's accident at night, so he resigned and returned to the second district, which happened later.
At this moment, in the coffee shop, when he saw Fang Jie again for the rest of his life, he seemed to go back to a year ago in a trance, to the life he was familiar with, which he once thought would last forever.
"The rest of your life?" Fang Jie had just sat down on the barstool, and as soon as she looked up, she saw a familiar face. This kind of surprise came too quickly and quickly, so that Fang Jie didn't react for a while, and after she subconsciously called out the name of the rest of her life, she suddenly found that she didn't know what to say next.
For the rest of his life, he never thought that he would meet Fang Jie again, let alone that he would be in this place, after he had experienced so many things.
Facing Fang Jie, who was a little overwhelmed, Yu Sheng's reaction was a little flat, maybe because Yu Sheng was born introverted, or maybe because he had already experienced too much in just one year, as if he was in another world.
"Hello, Fang Jie. Yu Sheng smiled.
The blacksmith and Ding Qing had stopped talking because of the arrival of outsiders, pretending to be nothing, but the words "the rest of my life" made the corners of the eyes of the two people rise slightly at the same time, and they looked at each other tacitly.
Tang Tang's ears moved slightly, and she sat down casually, but pricked up her ears to listen carefully to the sound of the bar.
Twisting his body left and right, he saw Fang Jie's back through Tang Tang, and then his eyes fell on Yu Sheng's face that looked casual but was actually stiff, he knew that it was a coincidence that he had encountered a big melon downstairs today.
The gossip on the left and right was uplifted, his hands were propped up on the table, and he was about to get up, but he was nailed by Tang Tang's vicious gaze.
Tang Tang glanced at him, and the content in his expression was obvious: don't move, watch the play quietly.
If Yu Sheng knew what was going on at this moment in the minds of these Yishen Beings who had given the Emperor a headache to this day, he would probably roll his eyes and faint.
It's a pity that he doesn't have the ability to read minds in the ability for the rest of his life, and of course he doesn't know what the four guys with their ears are thinking in their hearts, and he doesn't notice the suddenly frozen atmosphere in the already deserted café.
Yu Sheng rubbed the bar in front of him and pretended to be casual and asked, "What to drink?"
Fang Jie casually glanced at the sketchpad behind Yu Sheng, and said absentmindedly: "Pure coffee, no milk and no sugar." ”
Yu Sheng smiled, "I didn't expect you to like the sour bitterness of pure coffee." ”
"Everything else is just sweet drinks. Fang Jie quickly recovered from the little panic just now, she pulled her hair back, and put her delicate handbag on the bar.
Only then did the rest of her life notice that Fang Jie was no longer the little girl who was originally plain-faced. She wears delicate makeup, wears an expensive long dress, and the jewels between her neck and wrists are telling the rest of her life that things are right and wrong.
The other four people had been secretly observing Yu Sheng's expression, and the loneliness that flashed in Yu Sheng's eyes did not hide from anyone.
Yu Sheng silently turned around, grinded the beans, filtered the coffee, and handed it to Fang Jie, and only remembered when he let go of the cup and saucer that he and Fang Jie had been in love for more than two years, but they had never drunk coffee together even once.
The rest of his life was even more empty in his heart, now that he thinks about it, he can't touch Fang Jie's mind at all, he no longer knows what Fang Jie likes to eat, what to wear, what he likes to talk about with friends, and what kind of relaxation he likes after work.
For the rest of her life, Fang Jie imagined an old photo that was gradually fading, at first glance it was still the outline of her memory, but when she looked closely, she lost many details.
"Why are you here...... Fang Jie took the cup, but did not drink it, but looked at Yu Sheng with a three-point scrutinizing gaze, the two eyes were no longer as soft as water in the past, but like two sharp swords, passing through Yu Sheng's body, and the remaining half of her words were obviously not finished - why are you here, as a waiter.
Facing Fang Jie's gaze, the rest of his life was a little inexplicably unnatural, as if he was a subordinate who made a mistake and was facing the upcoming criticism of his boss.
"I work here. The rest of his life was a little restrained, and he turned back into the passive and cautious person in his feelings, and in the face of Fang Jie's inquiry, he even inadvertently became weak.
"Hmm......" Fang Jie replied softly, without saying anything more, this coldness made Yu Sheng feel even more embarrassed, he had to wipe the table, wanting to turn around and leave, but felt even more uncomfortable.
Before they could react, the two ladies Tang Tang and Ding Qing had already begun to be dissatisfied with Fang Jie's attitude, and women's hearts were always more sensitive, especially when their attitudes were completely on Yu Sheng's side, and they felt empathy for the grievances they had suffered in Yu Sheng.
In such an obvious scene, there is no need to ask, the two ladies have already judged that this is a drama of a down-and-out good man meeting a negative ex-girlfriend, from this point of view, a woman's sixth sense is indeed terrifying.
The blacksmith snickered secretly, and in his opinion, this was like what a normal young man should experience: sad for feelings, sad for his ex.
The blacksmith stretched out his hand and was about to light a cigarette to watch the play leisurely, but he caught a glimpse of Ding Qing's expression, and silently put back the cigarette he had just taken out.
"How are you doing lately?" asked Fang Jie casually.
The blacksmith was a little surprised, he already thought that he had been a waiter for the rest of his life, and he had to ask this question, either he was bad or stupid, or he didn't care about the other party's mind at all.
Yu Sheng didn't seem to hear the meaning of Fang Jie's words, but really thought about it seriously.
How is he doing these days?
The girlfriend broke up, the father died, the younger brother was executed, and the mother was in a car accident.
This series of changes that happened to him has turned his life upside down in less than a year, and fate is like an invisible pair of scissors, cutting the threads connecting him and the world one by one, and then letting him float and fall.
Then the rest of his life saw the blacksmith and saw Ding Qing.
Yes, he hasn't been doing very well lately, until the last two months.
He has new friends, a new identity, and a new life, and fate rudely strips him from his past life, but forcibly stuffs him into another world.
"It wasn't good," Yu Sheng said, "but these two months, not bad." ”
Fang Jie let out a soft "oh", noncommittal.
The wanderers knew what he was talking about, and those two months were the two months that the rest of their lives would join them.
Ding Qing smiled slightly, Tang Tang's eyes were red, and the blacksmith coughed lightly.
"What about you?" the rest of his life came out of his memories and turned back into the person who was cautious in front of Fang Jie.
"I got engaged to him, two months later. Fang Jie showed the diamond ring, "I'm waiting for him." ”
As soon as the words fell, the wind chimes rang again at the door.
A tall, well-dressed man walked into the store.
Yu Sheng looked up and saw that person, although it had been a long time, although the two had never been so close, Yu Sheng's intuition still helped him recognize each other in the first time.
Qi Duowen. appeared a year ago in the rest of his life, and took away the rest of his first love girlfriend effortlessly and mercilessly.
In the face of Qi Duowen, the rest of his life can actually understand Fang Jie's choice.
Qi Duowen is taller than Yu Sheng, more handsome than Yu Sheng, richer than Yu Sheng, humorous and sunny than Yu Sheng, and understands women better than Yu Sheng. By any measure, he is a better companion than the rest of his life.
But understanding does not alleviate the sorrow and pain in the heart for the rest of your life.
Not then, and not now.
Seeing Qi Duowen's appearance, Yu Sheng quietly turned around and wanted to escape.
Fang Jie was his only connection to his past life, and he didn't want even that memory to be forcibly destroyed here.
But life clearly doesn't want to be happy for the rest of your life.
Qi Duowen saw the rest of his life at a glance.
