Chapter 23: A Farewell for Eternity
I smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "I'm doing well? I don't know if I'm doing well. I've been busy, I have long forgotten what kind of life is good, what kind of life is bad, my dad's kidney disease has been maintained by dialysis over the years, exhausting all the family's savings, I work hard to do every job, I want to earn more money to see him, I hope my mother's face is not always full of sadness, every time I send money home, I am happy at that moment, and then I start to be busy again, you have to ask me how I am doing...... Maybe I don't know what to call it. ”
"I've always wondered, why did you get so low a score in the college entrance examination back then? This is not your real level, all these years ......"
"Don't ask. I interrupted Jing Yao and said, "In the past four years, I have long been reluctant to remember why my language performance is abnormal, maybe this is my fate." ”
An old man with a cart selling drinks passed by, and when he saw me and Jing Yao sitting here, he took the initiative to ask, "Do you need drinks?" ”
"Do you have beer?"
"Yes. The old man asked, "How many bottles?"
I got up and took out my pocket, there was a lot of change in it, the largest face value was 50, I gave the fifty directly to the old man, "Buy a few bottles, you can put a few bottles for me." ”
The old man was very satisfied and said: "For 4 yuan a bottle, you can buy 12 bottles...... Forget it, I'll give you 13 bottles, count me as losing two dollars. ”
In this way, I had 13 more bottles of beer in front of me, I bit the cap with my teeth, and blew a bottle on my neck.
"Silently, I'm leaving. Jing Yao's voice was very soft and soft, "The procedures for immigrating to France have almost been completed, and I will fly back to France this weekend, don't you have anything to say to me?"
I turned my head to look at Jing Yao, this beautiful face was both familiar and unfamiliar, I had imagined countless times that if Jing Yao and I took the opportunity to sit together and chat again, it might be at a class reunion, everyone was chatting and laughing about the topics that had not been painful in those years. Or one day when we met on the street in my hometown, she took a beautiful little girl and told me that it was her baby, and I fantasized that I might never see each other again in my life......
However, at this moment, as if returning to this moment four years ago, so many words could not be spoken, turned around and bent down to pick up a bottle ......of beer, and said with an embarrassed smile: "What should I say?
I found that Jing Yao's eyes were no longer right, they were a pair of eyes full of sadness, so I couldn't bear to continue looking, so I hurriedly changed the topic and asked, "Why did you immigrate to France?
Jing Yao held the soy milk in both hands and looked into the distance and said: "Half a year ago, I interned in a French fashion company as a fashion designer, and the service I designed was recognized at Paris Fashion Week, which was a sensation, and I also won the award for the best designer of Fashion Week. ”
"Oh. I took a big sip of the wine bottle, pretending not to be sad and said: "It's good, come on, develop well, a foreign designer...... The director's position should earn a lot, why should it be more than 10,000 yuan?"
Jing Yao said quietly: "The annual salary is about 300,000." ”
"300,000 yuan!" I was still calculating like a fool, "the average house price in Kunming is more than 10,000 yuan, and the annual salary is 300,000 yuan! With this income, you can buy a commercial house of more than 100 square meters in Kunming in three years." ”
Jing Yao said lightly: "The currency used in France is the euro. ”
The exchange rate between the euro and Grandpa Mao is about 1 to 8, and the annual salary is 300,000 euros...... 2.4 million yuan, 200,000 yuan a month! I suddenly didn't want to speak, I picked up the bottle and drank the beer, Jing Yao and I have become people of two worlds, she is the kind of person I can't climb.
Seeing that I didn't speak, Jing Yao cautiously asked, "Did I hurt your self-esteem?"
I squeezed out a smile and asked, "Didn't you say that I was strong! Since I am so strong, how can I be hurt by you? You think too much, I am just thirsty, I want to drink some wine to quench my thirst, I am really happy for you to hear you say that you have such a good development, really!"
Jing Yao leaned on my shoulder, I could smell the fragrance of her hair wafting into my nose, very light, very light, she leaned on my shoulder and whispered: "Silent, maybe this farewell really doesn't know when the next meeting will be, is there anything else you want to say to me?" or ......" Jing Yao hesitated, as if she had mustered up her courage, "Or did she want to do it to me." ”
I turned my head, looked at the hair that gently kissed the top of Jing Yao's head, and was silent for a long, long time before I asked, "Are you really leaving?"
Jing Yao raised her head, turned to face me and nodded seriously, "Maybe...... It will be indefinite after ......"
At night, he plucked up the courage to ask, "Then let me hug you again, okay?"
At that moment, two lines of hot tears welled up in Jing Yao's eyes, and they threw themselves into my arms, I hugged Jing Yao tightly, tears slid down my cheeks and dripped on the top of Jing Yao's head, this life has been 23 years, Jing Yao is the only girl I have ever really loved, and my only girlfriend, I cried, tears blurred my vision...... I don't remember how long it was, but the square aunt had already cleaned up her stereo and dispersed
"Let's go!" I hugged Jing Yao and said softly, "Let's use this hug as our goodbye." ”
"Wait a minute, okay?" Jing Yao choked up and said in a tone that was almost pleading, "Can you hug me again?"
"Sooner or later, there will be separation. ”
"Silently......" Jing Yao said in my arms: "Are you really unwilling to say a word that you want me to stay?
I believe what Jing Yao said, but I can't be so selfish, I know Jing Yao, she is a girl who can do anything for love, just like when she was with me, she would rather betray the world! We can't go back to the past, I wish you happiness, let's go, just like I sent you home many years ago, see you to the door of the community, until you walk into the community, until I can't see you, I will turn around and go home, let me see you off here for the last time tonight. “
"I'm not leaving...... Jing Yao stood in front of me and cried, "I'm not leaving......"
"You go!" I held back my tears and begged, "If you don't go, how can I go?"
"I'm really not leaving...... Silently...... You ......"
"Let's go—" I shouted, "Have you forgotten? We used to say that if there is a day of breakup, we must let you go, and you said that you don't want to see me leave your back, then let me watch you go, okay?"
"It's not good-" Jing Yao also cried so loudly, "Why don't you have the courage to say that you like me?say that you want me to stay?why do you?you give me a reason, you give me a reason and I'll leave-"
In a trance, I saw Lu Yuxin, is it an accident or a coincidence, right? She was standing on the side of the square in the ancient town and was looking at me, I strode towards Lu Yuxin, took her hand at the moment when Lu Yuxin was at a loss, returned to Jing Yao and asked, "Look, is this reason okay?" After speaking, I said to Lu Yuxin: "Yuxin will introduce you to you, this is my girlfriend in high school - Jing Yao." ”
Lu Yuxin looked completely at a loss, and greeted Jing Yao awkwardly and said, "You ...... Hello...... My name is Lu Yuxin...... I ......"
Jing Yao pursed her lips, endured her grief and nodded as she stepped back and said, "Okay...... Good...... I get it......"
