Chapter 17: Encounters in the Cafe
There is no doubt that this is an end to this, and the two are destined to break up, and I, as a bystander, can only feel helpless and regretful.
I was silent for a while, lit the third cigarette of the night, and said, "Do you know why I asked you to meet in this place?" Yang Fan, this is the place where you came to Guangzhou to work hard when you first graduated, and not long after, I also came here to join you, and we lived there, remember?" I stretched out my hand and pointed to the dilapidated rental building not far in front, Yang Fan glanced at it, didn't speak, I continued: " Long ago, I had already guessed that there must be a problem between you and Xu Qing, and I also suspected that you were interesting to your director, but I didn't expect it to be true, but I thought that if we talked in the original place, maybe you could still have a little bit of a desire to go back, but I was wrong, you didn't care at all, and completely forgot your original appearance!"
"Cheng Ting, there is no turning back from the bow, I can't go back, I don't want to go back, do I still want to continue to crawl and roll there at the bottom of this society like before, endlessly, as if I can't see hope? If I hadn't felt the warmth of the sun, maybe I would have been hiding in the dark and cold world forever. Yang Fan calmed down a lot, with vicissitudes and a hint of sadness in his tone.
I grabbed him by the collar and scolded him: "Hehe, you regard her as your current sunshine? Yang Fan! Do you want to lose face, don't you want your self-esteem?"
"Face, self-esteem?" Yang Fan shook off my hand vigorously, "Can these things be eaten as food?" Cheng Ting, let me tell you, sooner or later, one day you will become like me, people's YU hopes are constantly expanding with demand, in the future, you may not give up your feelings like me, but there will always be something that you will give up and choose money and fame. ”
"I'm not you, you are so self-conscious, think about how to confess to Xu Qing. "I took the last sip of my drink, paid the bill and left.
On this night, Yang Fan's words, deeds and thoughts really disappointed me.
.....
Two days went by like this, and this weekend I chose to take two days off, and so much happened during that time, so I gave myself two days off to take a break. On Monday, I went back to work as usual, and no matter how Yang Fan and Xu Qing dealt with their feelings in the end, as the best bystander, just wait quietly for the results, I have already said what should be said, and leave the rest to them to decide.
When I came to my own office, I had just turned on the computer for a while, and Qi Min and Xu Mengjun came in one after the other, without even knocking on the door.
I held the half of the rice noodles with my chopsticks, and noticed their strange eyes, so I stopped the chopsticks and asked, "What are you two looking at, why are you looking at me like this?"
Qi Min and Xu Mengjun glanced at each other, and then he looked at me and said, "Yang Fan, that kid, is he really good with their director?"
It's over, this remark reminded me of these unhappy things, so I said angrily: "No, you told me about this early in the morning, is it interesting?"
"That's not what you told me first, after you talked to Yang Fan that night, you called me when you went back and said that you wanted to ask for leave to rest, so I won't ask you what the result is. ”
"I don't know, I stayed at home for the two days I had a break, I didn't go anywhere, I didn't ask anything. I took the chopsticks and just wanted to continue eating, and then added: "I think it's a good thing to divide it, so as not to hurt the good girl Xu Qing." "I finished my sentence before I continued to eat.
"It's not good for you to think so, as the saying goes, 'I'd rather destroy a temple than break up a marriage', although the two of them are not married, but after all, they have been together for so long, can they save it or save it, people of this age, if they break up, it will be difficult to start the next relationship, or it will be difficult to give sincerely to the next relationship, because there will be shadows. ”
"Yo, expert, you know very well, don't you?" Xu Mengjun crossed her hands over her chest and said quietly.
Qi Min smiled awkwardly and said, "I, this is not the experience I have summed up from others." ”
I shook my head and said calmly: "Although I don't know what their outcome will be, I hope it will be completely divided, the long pain is better than the short pain, and there is no point in dragging it out like this." ”
Xu Mengjun said indignantly: "Look, this is what you men look like after they have some money, the whole person is swollen, hugging your thighs vigorously, once you men succeed in their careers, they will definitely fail on the other hand." ”
Qi Min and I glanced at each other, and for a while we didn't know what to say, and read the word "innocent" from each other's eyes.
"Jun'er, you can't say that, you see I'm not good, you can't overturn a boatload of people with a stick. Qi Min turned to Xu Mengjun and coaxed him angrily.
"Keep up the good work and get to work. With that, she was the first to leave my office.
"You can go too, I'm going to get to work. I said lightly to Qi Min, he was stunned for a moment, nodded and walked out of my office.
After they left, the whole office fell silent, but now it was my turn to fall into that strange mood, and I was in a daze for a while, and then the busy day began.
......
After work in the evening, I was still not at ease, so I went to Wenshua's café. Actually, I also have work things to talk to her about, but that's just a small thing, the main thing is to go over to see Xu Qing, and by the way, find out what happened to her and Yang Fan.
When I went to the café and asked the little sister at the front desk where the two of them were, she said it was in the small private room upstairs, so I went up to the second floor, and before I could enter the small private room, I heard their voices talking inside the door.
"Qingqing, don't be sad anymore, it's pointless to be sad like this for a scumbag like him! You have to cheer up, it's not a big deal, okay?"
"I, I don't want to end like this, he promised me at the beginning, and he will take me over when he develops in Chongqing, but why has it changed now, how long has he been in Chongqing!" Xu Qing cried bitterly, "I, what did I do wrong, where was it worse than that old woman!"
It seems that Xu Qing still can't let go of Yang Fan, because this is her first love after all. I stood outside the door for a while, and I couldn't hold back any longer, so I pushed the door open and said, "Xu Qing, it's not your fault, you have to ......" Before I finished speaking, when I saw the scene in front of me, the whole person was stunned, and stood at the door as if petrified.
I never thought that Han Yue, who I hadn't seen for a while, would be in here!
The three women looked at me who suddenly broke in at the same time, and at this moment I couldn't wait to get under the table, Wen Shuya glanced at Han Yue, she probably realized my predicament at this time, and explained: "Sister Yue arrived an hour before you came, but unfortunately I learned such bad news as soon as I arrived. ”
Han Yuemei's eyes flashed, her eyes turned away, and she said in a calm voice: "In my opinion, this is not bad news, a man who has completely changed his mind, there is no need to be pitiful, this should be regarded as a relief." She raised her hand and gently pressed Xu Qing's hand, who was still sobbing, and comforted: "Qingqing, I know that you are very uncomfortable now, but time will erase everything, and you still have all of us with you, don't be sad for this kind of scumbag, and when you think about it one day in the future, you will feel that your current behavior and thoughts are ridiculous, because it is not worth it at all." ”
I slowly pulled out a chair and sat down, but I had forgotten everything I wanted to say just now, and I felt extremely unsettled in my heart, and the only person who could make me feel this way at the moment was Han Yue, who was sitting across from me.
Xu Qing first nodded lightly, responding to what Han Yue said to her, and then she looked at me and said softly, "Cheng Ting, what did you want to say to me when you came in just now?"
"I, I? No, it's nothing, what Han Yue said is what I want to say. I nodded and emphasized, "Yes, that's right, time will be indifferent, you have to do what you want to do, divert your attention, and let yourself get out of the shadows as soon as possible." ”
"When did you become so unassertive?" was the first thing Han Yue had said to me in so long, probably sarcastically that I didn't say what I wanted to say, but quoted her.
After a moment's distraction, I replied, "No, I do think what you said makes sense." ”
Not long after, Xu Qing said that she wanted to go home and sleep, so she went downstairs first, Wen Shuya probably saw the direct "contradiction" between me and Han Yue, so she also gave us a chance to reconcile, and made an excuse to send Xu Qing home, so that Han Yue and I could chat first.
After they left, Han Yue just sat for a while and then got up and walked out of the small private room, I thought she was going to leave too, so I quickly got up and chased out, "Don't you want to see me so much?"
However, this time I guessed wrong, she did not go down the stairs, but went to stand in front of the window outside the small private room. She turned her back to me and asked, "Are you so afraid of me leaving?" and in a tepid tone, I couldn't tell what kind of emotion she was saying to me.
I was silent for a while, and then walked to the window, standing side by side with her, both of them looking at the neon street scene outside the window, the busy streets, showing the prosperity of the city to the fullest, but also set off the loneliness of the two of us.
I don't know how long I was silent, Han Yue broke this state of silence and said softly: "Actually, when I was comforting Xu Qing, I said the sentence 'time will erase everything', and there was another sentence later, I just didn't say it. ”
I cautiously asked, "So, what's the next sentence?"
"The original saying is: the feelings that will be shallow will be shallower and shallow, and the feelings that will be deep will be deeper and deeper. She suddenly turned to look at me, "Do you think we'll be the former or the latter?"
