Chapter 20: I Recognize You
"The people closest to me...... My only friend ......" her voice trembled, and her voice was hoarse with pain, "When my sister left, she said to me with tears in her eyes, don't focus on loving someone...... Otherwise, it will be very tiring and painful. β
Because the person I love the most said that love is such a painful thing, I am immersed in the game of love for the rest of my life, and I can't breathe until I am drowned......
No way to breathe.
Ouyang Duo was almost suffocated, his chest heaved violently, but he still couldn't breathe. His hands gripped the hem of his shirt tightly, trying to get the air to penetrate his lungs even more, but it was clear that it was in vain.
"Take a deep breath, don't be nervous," Bai Lu rushed over, she stretched out her hand, held Ouyang Duo's hand tightly, and guided him in a firm tone, "I'll count one, two, three, take a deep breath with me, and then slowly open your eyes." Come, one, two, three......"
Ouyang Duo's eyes slowly opened.
Through tears, the woman in front of her slowly changed from vague to real.
There is nothing more grounded than waking up from a nightmare past and having someone by your side, Ouyang Duo looked at the young woman in front of him, and through her black-rimmed glasses, he could see a pair of eyes with concern written on them.
Her plain makeup has an unmodified charm.
"Are you okay?" asked Bai Lu as she handed over a tissue.
"I'm sorry," Ouyang Duo sat up and took the tissue to wipe away the tears on his face, "It's been so long, I've obviously forgotten about it......"
"Sometimes, it's not that we want to forget, it's that some memories are so painful that we hide them in the deepest part of our memory. But those experiences have deeply affected us, and some of them have even affected us for the rest of our lives. This time, Bai Lu did not flee, but sat on the sofa opposite Ouyang Duo, looked at him quietly, and said, "Only by facing up to that pain and untying the knot in your heart can you really let go and get rid of the shadow of that painful entanglement for a lifetime." β
Ouyang Duo didn't speak.
"If your sister could have the courage to cut off the connection with your brother-in-law at that time, don't let this pain continue, and live her own wonderful life, maybe, that's a different ending, isn't it?" Bai Lu saw the emotion on Ouyang Duo's face, so she continued, "I believe that if you give your sister another chance to choose, she will definitely not choose to commit suicide." You also believe that someone as good as her will meet someone who cherishes her, right......? If she's still alive, she doesn't want you to fall into this kind of pain, right?"
In my heart, there was a place that hurt fiercely.
Ouyang Duo's lips trembled slightly.
"But I'm ...... But I ...... Wouldn't be a good love partner. Ouyang Duo buried his head in his palm in pain, "What I bring to others may be all pain. β
"That's because you've never tried," Bai Lu smiled, "you can try it, maybe you're the best lover in the world." β
Ouyang Duo raised his head and looked at Bai Lu again.
"Thank you for your trust, Miss Bai. Ouyang Duo's handsome face bloomed with an evil smile.
Miss Bai?
The sudden change in the title made Bai Lu slightly stunned.
Ouyang Duo stretched out his hand and took off Bai Lu's glasses: "I recognize you, Queen." β
Bai Lu's face changed.
The balance between day and night was broken.
"How did you recognize me?"
"There is indeed a difference between you during the day and you at night, but," Ouyang Duo held Bai Lu's hand, "but the touch of the skin is not deceiving, it was you who caught me, Miss Bai." β
"So what?" Bai Lu broke away from Ouyang Duo's hand and put on his glasses again, "No one stipulates that psychological counselors can't go to nightclubs. β
"Including dating different men?" Ouyang Duo laughed hatefully.
"Are you threatening me?" Bai Lu's gaze turned cold.
"On the contrary," Ouyang Duo raised his hand to make an innocent gesture, "I just want to ask you to give me a full range of treatments. β
βWhatοΌβ
"Miss Bai, let's fall in love, how about not breaking up?"
Fifty percent of the advance payment for the cooperation has been sent to Wang Meng through WeChat transfer at five o'clock.
Wang Mengmeng also made a small video of her work progress in time and sent it to Lu Dan.
At this time, she was comparing prices in the supermarket.
Lu Dan did not reply, but with Wang Mengmeng's small understanding of Lu Dan, his silence mostly represented acquiescence. For if he is even the slightest bit unhappy, it will inevitably make the person who is unhappy a hundred and twenty points unhappy.
In the following time, Wang Mengmeng visited six supermarkets, compared the prices of the same kind, selected the most suitable price, and listed the tables, listed the several nutritional gift boxes that she thought were the most suitable, and took photos to make a table.
In the choice of flowers, Erha's final suggestion is "your smile", three pink carnations and nine red roses, a very warm match. After Wang Mengmeng negotiated with the owner of the flower shop, the other party agreed to add six longevity flowers to the bouquet without the same price.
When Wang Mengmeng sent an offer to Lu Dan, she attached a screenshot of the chat record with the flower shop owner.
After sending the quotation form and a series of materials to Lu Dan, she looked at the time, nine and three minutes in the evening. It was twelve hours earlier than he had asked her for.
The other party did not respond, so Wang Mengmeng threw the phone aside, stood up, and stretched a big lazy waist.
"Hey, Erha, what are you doing?"
Erha, this guy, doesn't seem to have recovered from the "little emotion" just now, and what he gave Wang Mengmeng was just a black back of his head.
Wang Mengmeng called several times in a row but didn't get a response, so she didn't bother to pay attention to him, picked up her mobile phone and played the game.
Wang Mengmeng didn't know that Erha was actively looking for the answer he wanted to know on the Internet at this time.
"How to turn friendship into love", "How to make 'her' understand that you like her?", and so on, he was dazzled, but there was still no answer.
Erha finally closed the browser and fell in front of the computer in frustration.
Why are friendship and love always so far apart?
"Hey!"
The chair was kicked off, and Wang Mengmeng's voice rang out.
"A piece of fried chicken?"
Fried chicken?
Erha's mind moved, but it still didn't move.
A charming aroma entered his nostrils, and Erha's stomach gurgled. He slowly turned his head sideways, looking behind him out of the corner of his eye.
Wang Mengmeng was holding the takeaway box with the lid open, looking at him with a smile.
"To eat, or not to eat?"
"Eat. β
In front of Wang Mengmeng, Erha always loses.
Just as Wang Mengmeng and Erha poured Coke and prepared for the fried chicken carnival, the door was pushed open with a "bang", and Bai Lu rushed in.
"Oh my God!" Erha looked at the chicken leg that fell on the table, and suddenly exploded his lungs, "My chicken leg! Bailu, are you sent by the monkey to block me?"
"I'm sent by God to supervise your weight loss!" Bai Lu said, breaking in in a rage and sitting directly opposite the two of them.
"Huh?" Wang Mengmeng noticed something unusual about Bai Lu, "You didn't enjoy your 'happy hour' today?"
At nine o'clock in the evening, Bai Lu still looked like he was facing the sky, which was really surprising.
"What's going on?" asked Wang Mengmeng.
"You still know me!" Bai Lu hugged Wang Mengmeng tightly.
"My chicken legs!" Wang Mengmeng hurriedly protected the fried chicken leg in his hand that almost fell because of Bai Lu's bear's hug.
"You two!" Bai Lu was angry, and the consequences were serious, "Hand over all your fried chicken!"
There is no better cure (hu) healing (trouble) than three people grabbing fried chicken together, and the fried chicken that is obviously a double serving is suddenly eaten out of the effect of a single serving.
When the three of them collapsed on the sofa in front of the table full of chicken bones and empty Coke cups, Bai Lu felt more relaxed and down-to-earth than he had ever been.
"Sure enough, it's still Ji Youyou......" Bai Lu sighed sincerely, "From childhood to adulthood, our relationship hasn't changed, it's good." β
No, not at all.
Erha thought.
"I think we'll be friends for the rest of our lives. Wang Mengmeng said sincerely.
No, you don't want to.
Erha cried out with a "wang".
