Chapter 21: Enlightening Sun Bowen
The wind gradually dried the tears falling from Yang Fan's face. In this city full of hope, a man's tears seem too cheap, so pale and weak, he is just one of many men who are frustrated in love and cry.
I picked up my glass and touched one with him, and said in a low voice, "Don't envy me, and don't envy anyone, because no one knows what will happen tomorrow...... Money is like a sharp sword, some people use it to satisfy their desires by any means, and some people use it to guard and defend the important people around them. Let's make money, because there are so many moments in this life to defend dignity with money, and we are all the same. ”
"There are so many moments to defend dignity with money, and you're right! dreams are shattered, it's time to wake up, hehe...... A glass of toast for tomorrow, a glass of toast for the past, come, drink a bar!" Yang Fan raised his glass to me and said casually. His eyes lost the warmth of the past, but there was a sharpness in them, and I knew that he had been reborn in this night of alcohol anesthesia.
......
Time has been pushed back a month, and since Yang Fan fell out of love, it seems that all of us have become very busy, including Qi Min and them, and they have hardly made appointments in the past month. Maybe this is a good start, showing that each of us is working hard for our own lives and trying to make money.
It's another busy night of overtime, and it's already past nine o'clock after finishing work. I glanced at the Han fairy in the office inside, and she was still looking intently at the papers on the table. Recently, our department has received a very important project, and she is basically the last person in the company to leave work every day. Passing by her office, I just smiled, didn't bother her, and then packed up my things and left the company.
When I arrived downstairs at the company, I saw a familiar figure at the door of a nightclub not far away, drinking alone. I grinned and walked over to him.
"Didn't you leave the company before me, why are you drinking here by yourself?" I glanced at him, and tore open a can of beer and took a sip.
Sun Bowen just glanced up at me, as if he was not surprised by my arrival, and then continued to raise his head expressionlessly and drink.
"Dude, I'm all here, don't you want to talk to me? Maybe I can enlighten you. I handed him a cigarette and said with a smirk.
He hesitated for a while, but still took the cigarette in my hand, lit it, took a puff, and said in a low tone: "Cheng Ting, why do you say that one person likes another person?
Sure enough, emotional matters are always related to troubles. However, to be honest, I was stopped by his sudden question, and was stunned for a while before saying: "How can I say it, in fact, both humans and other animals have 'love', according to science, you can understand that this is due to physiological needs, and there must always be offspring......!
I groaned for a moment, looked at the wine in the can, and continued: "If you like it, you like it, and there are not so many whys, just like why you are drinking alone at this moment...... No, it's two people now. ”
Sun Bowen smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "What is the answer to this TM." ”
He drank the last bit of wine in the can, took a heavy puff of the cigarette, and could even hear the "sizzle" sound of the fire burning the tobacco.
"I like Ye Han very much, I really like it, but I don't have the confidence to say the words in my heart to her face to face, because I'm afraid that after I say it, I may not even be able to be a friend......," he said in a deep voice.
What Sun Bowen said reminded me of Yang Fan a month ago, after falling out of love that night, he and Sun Bowen, one was gained and lost, and the other was never obtained.
I finished the last puff of cigarette, snuffed it out in the ashtray, and then exhaled the smoke as I said, "Dude, do you think you regret that you may lose it after you have it, or do you regret that you never had it?"
"Of course it's the latter, at least I've worked hard......" Before he finished the word "pass", he suddenly raised his head and looked at me, with a look of sudden realization, and then said quickly: "You mean, tell me to confess to Ye Han, at least I have worked hard for a relationship, right?"
I nodded, and then pretended to be inscrutable, and said: "That's right, the inferiority complex in your heart, which do you think is more important than missing her forever? ”
"Yes...... I'm still afraid that I will fail to confess to her, so ......"
I shook my head and interrupted him: "Not long ago, I had a very good buddy who fell out of love, and the woman's family was very wealthy, and my buddy was just a poor boy who had just graduated like us, so the woman's family strongly opposed them being together. In the end, my good buddy had to reluctantly propose to break up, silently bearing the unspeakable pain. Later, I asked him if he regretted being with her, and he said that he would never regret it, at least he had fought for the person he liked. No one can decide how everyone's story ends, but at least you can decide the process. ”
Sun Bowen was silent for a long time, the struggling color on his face finally disappeared, he nodded vigorously, and said to me with some excitement: "I know what I should do, Cheng Ting, thank you!"
Seeing his expression, I couldn't help but laugh and said, "Don't be in a hurry to thank me first, it's not too late to say thank you after you have done the right thing, I look forward to the day when you finally become a family!"
"Definitely!"
I smiled and nodded, and said, "Come, I'll finish drinking this can with you, I have to go back, I've been too tired from working overtime recently, and so are you, go back and rest early." ”
Sun Bowen held his glasses steady, patted his chest and swore an oath: "Okay, then let's go back after drinking this can of beer together, anyway, my heart knot has been opened, just a few days, take her down!"
......
After leaving the supper stall and returning to the residence, it was already eleven o'clock, and I saw Zhao Yihang sitting sullenly on the sofa playing with his mobile phone, I thought to myself: This kid, won't he also be troubled by emotional matters? Why are so many people annoying about feelings recently......
"Hey, what are you doing, with a dead fish face. I kicked his legs on the table and motioned for him to let me in on the couch on the other side.
"Ahem, I'm back. He came back to his senses and said to me, but his eyes were a little evasive.
I glanced at him with contempt, because what he said was too perfunctory, how could he only know that I was coming back when I opened the door and came back so loudly, there must be something hidden from me.
I lit a cigarette and said, "If you have something to say, you can say it." ”
Zhao Yihang's face changed slightly, he acquiesced to what I said, pondered for a while, and finally said: "Cheng Ting, there are still a few days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I plan to go home." ”
I blurted out almost without even thinking about it: "Isn't it normal to go home during the Mid-Autumn Festival?" ”
Zhao Yihang's expression did not have a trace of joking, looked at me seriously, and said: "No, I mean, I don't plan to go back to Guangzhou when I go home this time, and I have already arranged a job in a ZF unit at home, although it is a relatively grassroots position...... But you know, I told you a long time ago that I plan to take the exam or the public exam in the future, and if I have this experience, it will be of great help in the future. ”
What he said is indeed the truth, and this will be of great help to him in politics in the future. I thought about it for a while, and finally nodded back: "Since the family has already arranged it, such an opportunity is indeed rare, and besides, your family must have spent a lot of money on this job, these are all human debts...... I support you going back!"
"Then I'll go back, what should you do with this house, it's also two bedrooms and one living room, but our geographical location here is better, so the rent is very expensive, and you are alone...... I'm afraid I can't stand it, right?"
Although this is a problem, it cannot be compared with the choice that Zhao Yihang said. I threw him a cigarette and responded with a smile and said, "It's okay, I can handle it, I'll move if it's a big deal." ”
Zhao Yihang nodded, didn't say anything more, sat on the sofa for a while and finished his cigarette, and then went back to his room.
Instead of going back to my room immediately, I lit another cigarette and rested my head on one of the couch pillows with my eyes closed. If Zhao Yihang goes home, I will definitely not be able to live here anymore by myself, I can only move, but it will cost a lot of money to move once. When I think of the deposit in my bank card, I have a headache, and I have to go home for the Mid-Autumn Festival in a few days, so I can't go back empty-handed......
