Chapter 41: Steal Your Lines
"Who is she?" Mother Chen looked at the figure of Sister Huo stopping the taxi, with a questioning tone.
"A friend. Chen Wenjin replied calmly.
"What happened just now?" Father Chen continued to ask, but in fact, he had already guessed many possibilities in his mind as a person who had come before—however, none of them matched the truth.
"Nothing. She said I should be her boyfriend, and I refused. I said that we are still young now, we must focus on our studies, and we must not fall in love at an early age. When they all come out of society in the future and think about this kind of thing, she will be angry. Chen Wenjin said this without blushing and without a heartbeat...... Chen Qian couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Mother Chen gave him a blank look, and warned angrily: "Who listens to your nonsense! Tell you, don't mess around and cause trouble, otherwise your legs will be broken!"
"Yes, yes, how dare I? Chen Wenjin pretended to be serious.
Chen's mother didn't believe his sincerity at all, so she walked forward by herself, and urged Chen Qian to stop the car.
Father Chen lagged behind, and asked curiously and concernedly, "Is that girl beautiful?"
"It's okay. Chen Wenjin replied.
"Then don't delay your studies, if it's not very beautiful, it won't be cost-effective to affect your studies. Chen's father inadvertently said what was in his heart, and then found that Chen Wenjin's gaze was wrong, and hurriedly said: "Of course! I'm not saying that early love is good, even if you are beautiful, you can't delay your studies!"
"Yes, Dad is right!" Chen Wenjin hurriedly said the spell again, thinking that he wanted to try to establish a conditioned reflex for Lord Chen, and shut up when he heard this.
Master Chen felt speechless, and it was not good to continue to say more, so he nodded and urged Chen Wen to go to the other side to stop the car.
Chen Wenjin's family got out of the taxi and was strolling in the park when the phone suddenly vibrate, he glanced at the number, he was not familiar with it, said that he went away to find the bathroom, and answered the phone.
"Hey—are you angry?" It's Sister Fire, oh, she's Fire now.
"Why do you play such a boring trick when you know it's going to make people angry?" Chen Wenjin calculated the time, she should be about to board the plane.
"Since there is no good thing for you to remember, it is better to hate it for you to remember than to be forgotten by you in a bland way. After the fire on the other end of the phone finished speaking, he suddenly took a deep breath and said, "Gold, I'm about to board the plane!" I didn't finish talking just now, in fact, I don't know if it's right to try a new life with my mother, okay, you say, the future of studying hard, will it really be good?"
"At least the kind of road you saw when you were a child is in the future, you already know very well, if you don't want to do that, you can only choose other paths, and normally it will not be worse than before. And you, with the courage and will honed from the darkness, deserve to be better than others. Chen Wen rarely listened to her speak seriously, so he naturally answered seriously.
"With your words...... I'm going to board the plane, Gold, think about me when you have time, you can think about me wherever you want, goodbye!" The phone hung up, such a formal goodbye was not like Sister Huo's style.
However, she is not the previous Sister Huo, and it is probably because of this that she hopes that Chen Wenjin will call her Huo, not Sister Huo.
"Is it a good thing, well, gain a good mood plus one?" Chen Wenjin put away the phone and continued to accompany his family to the park.
After so many busy days, Chen's mother is actually the most tired, cooking more than a dozen dishes at a time, and staying in the kitchen for a long time.
If you say that you hate the New Year, in fact, she is the same, but the atmosphere of this era is like this, people who are out of the circle alone are waiting to be isolated, so no one has the courage to do so, so they can only stay up, hold on, and laugh when they are tired.
Chen Wenjin doesn't remember exactly what year it is, but it should be not long after, Lord Chen's circle of comrades-in-arms has had enough of this kind of hardship, so they discussed and agreed together, and established a fellow townsman association.
This proposal liberated everyone and has continued ever since.
The painful way of celebrating the New Year should not be a few years away.
After a few days of relaxation, it was almost time for Hui to return to Peng City, during which she had not contacted Chen Wenjin.
‘...... History repeats itself?' Chen Wenjin felt that this situation was obviously wrong, and it was obviously abnormal for him to suddenly endure such a eager state and not contact him for many days.
It is conceivable that in his memory, Chen asked what kind of trust he had in Hui back then, so that a sensitive and suspicious person like him could have no doubt about this situation!
On the evening of February 13, Chen Wenjin's mobile phone rang.
Megumi on the other end of the phone, her voice was obviously cold, but it was cold and incomplete, just like the sky covered by dark clouds, and there were one or two places showing the light behind the clouds.
"I haven't had a chance to contact you recently, I just came back this afternoon, and I'll go to East Street with my sister-in-law tomorrow, I can't accompany you, I'll meet at eight o'clock in the evening, I have some very important things to tell you." Hui said this, Chen Wenjin vaguely remembered that there should be no difference between these words and his memory.
Back then, Chen Wenjin really couldn't ignore Hui's abnormal state, and asked her what was wrong, as if she was saying that she was too tired to ride in the car when she came back.
"Good. This time, Chen Wenjin didn't ask anything, because he even remembered what Hui would say tomorrow.
In his memory, Chen Wenjin prepared a gift on the 14th, but this time, he didn't prepare because he knew that he wouldn't need it.
On the phone, there was silence.
"By the way, bring me your diary tomorrow, I want to read it all over again. Hui didn't forget it back then.
Because they are not in the same school, they write about their own things in their diaries during their relationship, and they exchange them every weekend when they meet, and they continue to write in the exchanged journals, and they exchange again the next week.
Chen Wenjin has three copies in his hand, and Huina also has three copies.
"I'll look for it. Chen Wenjin replied briefly, because he didn't want to give it to her. At this moment of the year, Megumi was clearly ready to break up, so she had to take all the diaries, but she didn't bring the diaries herself.
"Well, then I'll sleep, see you tomorrow. ”
"Hung up. Chen Wenjin hung up the phone and sighed softly.
Outside the window, the full moon hung in the night sky, and the thin clouds were misty.
The full moon was supposed to be a time of reunion, but tonight it was a parting.
Chen Wenjin wanted to ignore the past, but unfortunately Hui obviously made the same choice as in the past.
"I hope that what I say tomorrow will not be the same as in the past...... Chen Wenjin can only have the last hope.
Even if he himself felt that this hope was actually very slim.
The prosperity of East Street once occupied the dominant position of Peng City for many years.
The endless flow of crowds, the most lively time is really one after another.
East Street is adjacent to a park to the west with an ice skating rink, boating, and mostly children's rides.
Chen Wenjin sat near the amusement ride, where the lights could shine, and some distance from the noise, and the isolated vegetation in the middle blocked the sound.
Every time he and Megumi finished shopping on East Street, they sat here to rest.
Chen Wenjin left the number 2512 (arrived) for Hui's pager.
After a while, I saw Megumi wearing jeans and a close-fitting blue top.
When they met, there was a deliberate coldness on her face, and there was also a deliberate panic that she couldn't suppress.
She sat down on the bench, but moved again, keeping a distance of about twenty centimeters.
As it was back then, the further deepening of the relationship did not change her decision. Chen Wenjin looked at her quietly and said, "What's the matter, let's talk about it." ”
"Didn't you bring the diary?" Hui really cared about that, Chen Wenjin said in a casual tone: "I forgot where to put it, I will give it to you when I find it." ”
"......" Hui was silent for a moment, and then said: "I must concentrate all my attention on my studies next semester, I must rely on Pengzhong with my own strength, emotional matters need to be put aside, let's meet again when Pengzhong is completed." ”
Yes, that's what was said back then.
In fact, this is a very clear euphemism to break up, however, how much Chen Wenjin believed in her back then, and he didn't think about the breakup at all.
"Does it mean to break up?" This time, Chen Wenjin must have asked.
“...... That's not what I meant! It's just a few months of concentrating on studying, not saying you're going to break up, how can you think that?" Megumi's reaction was a little intense, but she quickly calmed down her emotions and kept her voice as calm as possible.
Chen Wenjin looked into her eyes, and there was confusion on her face. "I seem to have told you, if there is really any situation, just say it directly, it doesn't matter. Although my character is very reluctant to give up, I am also very willing to respect you, you have a certain decision, I will not entangle, let alone retaliate. On the contrary, ambiguity is infuriating. If you want to break up, just say it directly, don't let people wait for half a year. If you wait for half a year, can you not be a little resentful?"
"I said - I don't mean to break up! Just concentrate on studying, why are you so unconfident in our feelings? Can't we even hold on for half a year? Going to school is a very important hurdle, and we must do our best for it! You don't worry about this matter, but I'm worried, I just want to stick to the past together, why don't you have confidence?" Megumi's emotions didn't seem like he was making excuses.
Chen Wenjin couldn't believe her anymore, if she was so confident, why was she ready to take all the diaries away?
What's more, even if Megumi really thinks so, it's a pity that she overestimates herself.
Chen Wenjin believed in her very much back then, but unfortunately the facts proved that Chen Wenjin could hold on for half a year, but Hui couldn't.
"We're all serious about this relationship, and you say you want to concentrate on studying, and that's fine. But why is there such a sudden change in attitude, and what is going on, you can always tell clearly, right? You also want to know the real reason, don't you?" Chen Wen had actually speculated many times this day, but he didn't want to guess.
"Can you please stop thinking about it? Nothing happened, I just felt like I had to sprint with all my might. Hui said this, and Chen Wenjin couldn't help but be angry when he heard it.
She also said these words in her memory, and she still does it today.
"In that case, you have aroused my young heart very well, and I prefer you to tell the truth yourself. Chen Wenjin made a decision with a dark face.
If Megumi told him why today, he didn't want to deal with the person he once loved, and he didn't want to hurt her, so he didn't retaliate back then.
If Hui's decision today is different from the past, and she will spend two more hard years, Chen Wenjin is also willing to go to her hometown to stay until the truth is discovered.
However, the Megumi in front of him is still only deception.
"It's only been half a year, why are you so unconfident in our relationship?" Megumi didn't understand, she thought he would definitely agree.
Yes, in fact, her judgment was originally correct.
Chen Wenjin did agree back then, because he trusted her and trusted the relationship between them.
Chen Wenjin looked into Hui's eyes and said softly, "It's not that I don't have confidence, but I don't believe in you at all, because unfortunately, I have seen the future." ”
In Megumi's puzzled gaze, the power of the counter-movement of matter suddenly activated......
Megumi spoke, but her voice was reversed.
The leaves of the trees that the wind had blown off rose from the ground and grew again on the branches......
The wind was blowing, but it was in the opposite direction......
The throat of the person in front of him who was drinking Coke was moving, but the Coke in the bottle was getting more and more......
Megumi is coming.
Megumi just arrived.
This is true for Megumi.
But in Chen Wenjin's memory, this was the third time he saw her sitting on a bench.
Before Hui could move his position, Chen Wenjin moved his position first, thirty centimeters away from Hui.
A hint of surprise flashed in Megumi's eyes.
Chen Wenjin looked at her and said: "Actually, I also have something to tell you today, I have thought about it recently, we must all focus on studying next semester, you must rely on your own strength to go to Pengzhong, and I must also get the most worthy score for yourself, so the relationship between the two of us needs to be put aside, and we will meet again when we are in Pengzhong." ”
The same thing was originally said by Hui, but now it has become what Chen Wenjin is saying.
Megumi's mood is a little messy.
