Chapter 176: It's Always There
It was only seven o'clock, and it wasn't completely dark, and the storefronts of this bar street hadn't fully opened yet, so there weren't many people in the alley, so even if I grabbed her wrist, it wouldn't cause too many people to think of it, let alone be considered a hooligan because I was holding her wrist.
"Are you looking for Lao Zhou, right?" I looked at her and said: "Lao Zhou, he misses you too, he hasn't let go of his thoughts about you all these years, stay here alone, live a life pretending to be very free, go see him!"
The woman looked silent for a moment, and when I saw that she had no intention of struggling to escape, I also let go of my hand, and she said to me, "What should I call you? What is your relationship with Lao Zhou?"
"Roommate!" After saying it, he felt that the word was not so good, and added: " Lao Zhou is very lonely, he rents out the room on the second floor, I know Lao Zhou because of renting, and I have lived with each other for a month, because I have lived for so long, I can see her in a daze at your portrait every day, she regards your portrait as a treasure, someone has offered a six-figure high price He has never thought of selling, these are what I have seen with my own eyes, in the dead of night, Lao Zhou will be alone looking at your portrait and drinking, and will also sing to the portrait, you go to see him, okay? Seeing Lao Zhou being tortured by love like this, I really feel sorry for him. ”
Speaking of this, I realized that I hadn't said my name yet, and added: "My name is Momo, the 'Mo' of 'Mozi', and the 'Mo' of my name is the 'Mo' of silence." ”
The woman took off the sunglasses she was wearing on her face, and this time I looked at her glasses carefully, her eyes were very gentle, "silently ......" She said to me in a childlike tone, "Do you have time? Let's talk somewhere else?"
"Good. I said to the woman, "Where are you going?"
"Come with me. After saying that, she turned around and walked in the direction of the parking lot, in the open parking lot, I saw a white Bentley Mulsanne, I didn't know that the price of this car was more than five million, and the first feeling after getting into the car was that this car was really luxurious.
She drove me out of Guandu Ancient Town, but didn't go too far, stopped at the Century City Car Cube a few kilometers away, it was dinner time, she took me to a Western restaurant in the Car Cube, this Western restaurant belongs to a high-end restaurant, I used to deliver takeaway also ran to Century City, but the takeaway of this restaurant has never been taken, the key is that people do not provide takeaway service.
Although there were only two of us, she still chose a small private room, and the waiter reminded that the private rooms here have a minimum consumption, 198 yuan per person. She agreed without blinking an eye, ignoring the process of ordering, and after sitting down, she looked at me and asked, "How much do you know about me?"
I recalled: "Lao Zhou and I said that when he met you, it was by Dianchi Lake, you were going to marry someone you didn't like, you thought about suicide, it was he who saved you and enlightened you, and then you left a sum of money to the down-and-out Lao Zhou, and since then you have left, you have met many years later, you also know that Lao Zhou opened an inn in Guandu Ancient Town, although they met, they did not leave each other's contact information, and they all chose to forget each other. Speaking of which, I couldn't help but ask, "Actually, you can't forget each other, can you?"
The woman nodded undeniably and said to me: "Lao Zhou didn't lie to you, we did know each other that way, it was more than ten years ago, a few days before I got married, I chose to commit suicide, and I was fortunate to meet Lao Zhou that night, otherwise there might be news that a female corpse would have been floating in Dianchi Lake more than ten years ago." ”
I felt a little incredible, and cautiously asked, "What kind of marriage is so terrible, that you would rather commit suicide than get married?"
"It's a bit of a political marriage, and you might not be able to imagine it. ”
"Oh. I answered and asked cautiously, "You still like Lao Zhou a little, right?"
She didn't answer my question directly, took a sip of red wine, and said slowly: "That night the wind by the Dianchi Lake was very strong, the waves were almost half a meter high, the whistling wind was terrifying, but I was not afraid at all, thinking about ending my life is just a brave jump, after jumping down, I realized that death is not so easy, the body will instinctively resist, the feeling of choking into the water is very painful, I was thinking, maybe no one will come to save me, after all, the wind and waves are big, who wants to take the risk?" It was Lao Zhou who jumped into the water without harm, his water nature was not good, the two of us barely held on to a floating log to be rescued, we talked a lot that night, I found that I was deeply fascinated by this man who jumped into the Dianchi Lake in order to save me, he has a different view of life and life, and then I have been in touch with Lao Zhou. My fate did not change with my jump into Dianchi Lake, the marriage that should have come as scheduled, and the life I lived was unrecognizable, not at all what I wanted. ”
I'm silent, I don't know what to say, everyone has their own bitter past.
The woman continued: "I have been in contact with Lao Zhou for about two years, and gradually I found out that this is not right, Lao Zhou loves me too deeply and deeply, and I am a little inseparable from him, but I know very well that I can't be with Lao Zhou in this life, I can't give him a complete marriage, I can't give him the home he wants, so I chose to cut off contact with Lao Zhou." ”
"Why?" I asked incomprehensibly, "Since you are so dissatisfied with your current married life, and you love each other with Lao Zhou, why can't you be together?"
The woman whispered: "The family's political marriage makes me involuntarily, I can't change this, I can only accept it, but Lao Zhou is different, no yo me, he can have other women, he can have a complete home, have his own children, have his own future, and I, I can't give him anything, this is the main reason why I chose to leave, I can't think of all these years...... He is still here alone, silently, you may not believe it, after deciding to cut off contact with Lao Zhou, I have never been to Guandu Ancient Town once, I thought he had already left......"
"It's always there. I said to the woman: "Lao Zhou has always been here, has been waiting for you, he opened a bar not to make money, just to wait for a person who doesn't know if he will come back, waiting so persistently, take a look at Lao Zhou, he has always been there." ”
