Chapter 90: Yellow Leaves Dance Autumn Breeze
The weather is gradually getting cooler, and the cold autumn wind swept the land south of the Yangtze River.
The green plants and yellow leaves on the streets of Bencheng were blown into the air with the autumn wind, and then swept to the side of the street by the cold wind.
This bleak scene confirms the old saying: "Yellow leaves dance in the autumn wind".
Yinglong was sitting in the store, and there were few customers in the afternoon.
In the cooler autumn season, there are many fewer customers in the store, so Yinglong has a little free time.
He was staring at the computer at the counter when the doorbell rang and a slender lady walked in the door.
The woman looked very stylish, wearing a flowing beige trench coat with a plain silk scarf around it, a pair of slim-fitting black trousers underneath, and a pair of high heels.
This stylish outfit makes her look like a modern girl.
After entering the door, she smiled at Yinglong in the bar: "Yinglong!"
Yinglong was taken aback, who was coming? The voice was so familiar.
He fixed his eyes: "Oh! It turned out to be Tong Yue!"
"Tong Yue, long time no see!" Yinglong was a little surprised, when did Tong Yue come to see him so freely.
"Yes, Yinglong, you don't even say hello to me when you leave Lake City! Tong Yue complained softly to Yinglong.
"I'm in a bit of a hurry, and I'm too late to say a word to you! I'm sorry. Yinglong felt a little apologetic. Tong Yue walked a few steps to the counter, put his hand on the countertop, looked at Yinglong with his eyes, smiled slightly, and looked mysterious.
Yinglong looked at it carefully, and said with a smile: "Tong Yue, you haven't changed at all, you're still so young and beautiful!"
Tong Yue heard Yinglong praise her, and laughed embarrassedly.
"Where, you're flattering me, Yinglong, the years are unforgiving! You haven't even looked closely, I've got a lot of wrinkles. Tong Yue's words obviously had a melancholy flavor.
"What are you talking about, Tong Yue, you are really still so young, it seems that time has no effect on you!" Yinglong praised from the bottom of his heart.
In Yinglong's eyes, Tong Yue has indeed not changed at all, and it seems that there is not even a small wrinkle between his eyebrows and eyes.
The delicate white goose egg face was still as striking as before, and the big almond eyes still exuded a charming brilliance. It turned out that the beautiful figure and appearance in the eyes of Yinglong still exude the same charm now.
Yinglong couldn't help but praise sincerely: "I used to say that you are like an ivy, in fact, I mean that you are always young, it seems that this is not false at all, but the ivy is also very good-looking, there are ivy vines on the balcony of my store, I don't know if you saw it when you came." β
In the eyes of Yinglong, ivy is also delicate and cute, and if it is carefully cultivated, it will also produce beautiful flowers.
Tong Yue had actually noticed it a long time ago, looking at the green shade on the rooftop far away from the clouds, a scene full of vitality, which was very eye-catching.
"What I said before was a joke, and I hope you don't mind, there are some things that are not wrong with you. Actually, you are a good person, but I also hope that you are not always single. Tong Yue said to Yinglong with a hippie smile, and then looked at his face.
When Yinglong heard this, he was a little helpless, he stretched his face and said: "Tong Yue, don't scold me, what can I do, but I'm a man, just be single, I don't want to pretend to be a good person." β
"Are you angry? I said it wasn't you, didn't you understand what I meant?" Tong Yue hurriedly smiled.
"Alright then, you're right, I'm in for a treat, tell me what you want to drink!" Yinglong asked her.
"Then let's have a cup of coffee! Thank you, but I won't pay!" Tong Yue said in a big way.
"Forget it! I still want your little money! I don't know how much I lose to you when I play cards! Yinglong was a little dismissive.
Tong Yue smiled "hehe".
After a while, Xiaoqiang took a cup of "cappuccino" with milk foam, and carefully brought it to Tong Yue, he couldn't help but look at Tong Yue a few times, and couldn't help but look surprised, probably he rarely saw such a fashionable and beautiful woman as Tong Yue.
"Thank you, sorry for your trouble!" Tong Yue politely nodded and thanked Xiaoqiang.
"No thanks, you can use it slowly. Xiao Qiang smiled and walked into the wine room to get busy with himself.
"I heard that you broke up with Yuxin. Tong Yue asked Yinglong slowly.
"yes, you get it. Yinglong tapped the bar with his knuckles.
"Do you regret it, what are you going to do in the future? Do you still visit their mother and son every week?"
Yinglong pondered for a moment: "I don't regret it, but I don't know how to arrange it in the future, let's take a step at a time, and now I go to her every week to have a look." β
"Oh, haven't you thought about the future? I'm still alone, it's been so long. Tong Yue looked at Yinglong's hand, there was no wedding ring on his ring finger, and his whole hand was bare, without any decorative items.
"I haven't thought about it, and I don't know what to do, alas, there are some things that I'll talk about later. Yinglong looked down and saw that Tong Yue's finger was also bare, what about the original engagement ring?
"Tong Yue, are you married now?" Yinglong was a little curious, and his words were a little surprised.
"I don't have a --, yet, and I'm single now. Tong Yue was a little lost, and a sad look flashed in her eyes.
"Aren't you married? and still single, what about your fiancΓ©? where did he go?"
"Well, I'm going to be single, I don't want to get married! Tong Yue turned her gaze to the side and looked away, a little embarrassed.
"This can't be, right? What's going on, is there still a good woman like you in trouble?"
"Who knows, one life per person, it's good to be single! It's not a big deal, I'm comfortable now. Tong Yue seemed to be very calm, looking at Yinglong.
At this time, Yinglong's heart was full of pity, and he was inevitably a little embarrassed, he didn't understand why Tong Yue chose to be single.
"Didn't you get along? Why are you separated again, I don't understand. β
"Forget it, don't mention that guy! Tong Yue was a little disdainful.
"Did he change his mind?" Yinglong felt more and more strange.
"Man, it's so irresponsible!" Tong Yue was a little angry and a little helpless.
"And what's wrong with him?"
"Ran!"
"Ran away?"
"Ran away with someone else. β
"How is this possible, is it because you are bad?"
"He's a guy who likes the new and hates the old, and is greedy for vanity!" Tong Yue gently tapped the countertop with his hand.
"How is that possible, you've always been good?"
"He ran away with a rich woman. β
"Rich woman, are you two still short of money? This is impossible!"
"Although we are not short of money, that woman's family is richer!" Tong Yue said hatefully.
"Could it be that so many years of affection have been wasted like this?" Yinglong felt a little sorry for Tong Yue.
"This kind of person just has no scruples and can give up everything for the sake of 'money'!"
"He loves money so much that even you gave it up?"
"Yes, it turned out to be sweet, saying that I could do without anything for my sake. β
"This is also so bizarre!"
"This kind of person is like this, when he coaxes a woman, he can say anything, and he doesn't care if he gets it. β
"Then you can't do it for the money, is it?"
"Who knows? He wants to be promoted and get rich, and he wants to go crazy!"
"But you've been together for so long. β
"So he never wanted to get married and have children, just for the so-called 'money'. β
"Hehe, this is too outrageous, can't you also develop your career after getting married?"
"I heard others say that if he finds that woman, he can fight for at least ten years!" Tong Yue had a look of contempt on his face.
"That's what he's wrong, his career is so valuable, and he can even throw you aside?"
"Yes, his career future is his life, and he can do whatever it takes!" Tong Yue said angrily.
"In any case, feelings are also very important, and people can't live just for money. β
"I found the eldest lady of a rich family, and he could enjoy the glory and wealth in peace! I found that I was really useless. Tong Yue looked down at the coffee in the cup and sighed.
"But for so many years, you don't know how much you have paid for him, but it's hard to say now. Yinglong looked at Tong Yue with pity, his eyes full of sympathy.
"Yinglong, if only men were like you, then there would be no negative men. Tong Yue glanced at Yinglong and then looked at the coffee.
"But, what about my current fate, you have seen it, who sympathizes with me, and I am not as good as you say, this is my own doing. Yinglong raised his hand, a little ashamed, and snapped his fingers lightly.
"Are you bad? You're so good to Yuxin, you're just a little misunderstood. But what about my original one, what did he do to me?" Tong Yue was a little excited.
"Forget it, don't talk about it, but it's too much for me to say your fiancΓ©!" Yinglong was a little angry.
"yes! He's a lame! But it's all over now, and I don't want to think about him anymore. Tong Yue stirred the coffee with a small spoon and muttered to himself.
Yinglong can't understand that his career is so attractive to Tong Yue's boyfriend that he can abandon Tong Yue, if it is Yinglong, he will have to think twice.
"I really can't understand that a rich woman can make him throw you aside? It stands to reason that there are many suitors like you? he is so ruthless and unrighteous, is he willing to do it?"
"Alas, don't say it, he kept me, but I didn't want to, it's hard to say. Tong Yue's stomach was full of helplessness and sadness.
"But after all, there has to be a reason, how rich is that woman?" Yinglong asked Tong Yue.
"It's the daughter of a big customer in his company, who is a big boss, very rich, and has a big company in his family. Tong Yue sighed.
"I see, no wonder!" Yinglong somewhat understood.
"And the woman was so young and beautiful, her father took a fancy to my fiancΓ©, so he introduced his daughter to him and promised him to develop his career in his own company, so my boyfriend ran away with the woman. Tong Yue vented her dissatisfaction to Yinglong.
"Young, beautiful, and rich, what's the matter?" Yinglong sighed.
"What do you say, my boyfriend is already good-looking, and it is possible for that woman to fall in love with him, so it can be said that he hit it off. What else can I do with Tong Yue? Do I still have to beg him!" Tong Yue said angrily.
"Tong Yue, if you want to open up, there is no grass at the end of the world!Find a more handsome boyfriend to be angry with him!" Yinglong comforted her.
"What can't I think of? It's been so long, what's the hurry!" Tong Yue lowered her face, a strand of hair hung down her forehead, and her voice was a little low.
"Tong Yue, if you want me to say that you are actually quite good, you are smart, beautiful, and knowledgeable, you must be able to find a better one. β
"If only that were the case, but unfortunately I'm still far away. Tong Yue smiled helplessly, looked at Yinglong, she felt that although Yinglong was a man, he was also quite considerate.
"Why is it not good, look at you, can't you see yourself? I don't know how many men look back when they go to the street?" Yinglong nodded to Tong Yue with a smile and said.
"Could it be that you Yinglong turned around?" Tong Yue seemed to be in a better mood and smiled.
"But do you really look down on yourself, and you still think you're not attractive?" Yinglong looked at Tong Yue with an incredulous expression.
"You really think so, you see I'm all like this now. Tong Yue laughed at herself.
"Tong Yue, don't be discouraged, there will be good men who will take the initiative to come to you!"
"Is it you? You're the only one who says that to me now!" Tong Yue looked at Yinglong with a light smile.
"Don't say that, you still look up to me? I'm a poor boy. Yinglong sighed and lowered his eyes.
"Yinglong, don't underestimate yourself, in fact, you are also excellent, believe in yourself. Tong Yue smiled.
"I really want to thank you, I didn't expect you to encourage me so much!" Yinglong smiled happily.
"Be confident, man! You and I are the same. Tong Yue seems to be very happy now, and she is not so lonely at the beginning.
"I'm not unconfident, but I'm this fate, and I can't help it!"
"What kind of life, it's not on your own!"
"I know I'm on my own, you see, I'm on my own. β
"But why did you leave Lake City in the first place?" Tong Yue felt strange.
"Well, I thought so at the time, I thought it would be better to go back to Ben Thanh, after all, my parents are here. β
"Do you want to leave the sad place?" Tong Yue looked at Yinglong with blazing eyes.
"I wanted to go back to Bencheng to develop, and I was originally from Bincheng, so I simply resigned. Yinglong told her why she left Lake City.
"But Yu Xin and Xiao Yingrui are still in Lake City!"
"Don't I go to see them every week?"
"But it's also more convenient to be together, you don't have to run that far. β
"After all, I'm from Bencheng, and my parents are here. β
"I don't think you want to float outside. β
"yes, I didn't have anything in Lake City, so I just came back. Yinglong felt that this explanation should be more accurate.
"Well, then you mean there is nothing left in Lake City?"
"I didn't have a home there anymore, that's why I came back. Yinglong groaned.
"But your child is still there. β
"There's no way around that, I still have a place to stay when I go back to Bencheng. β
"Yinglong, you're actually quite pitiful. Tong Yue felt that Yinglong's condition was worthy of sympathy, and many people had unspeakable secrets.
"I don't have anything to be sorry for, isn't it good now, it's much smoother than before. Yinglong grinned on his face.
"Hearing you say that, I think I have to think about what to do with it in the future. Tong Yue stirred the coffee with a small spoon, and then took a sip.
"That's right, life has to go on!"
"You're right, I can't just mess around like this, it's not worth it. β
"If you want to do so much, you can live it however you want!"
"Looks like I'm going to have to live like a human being!"
"Don't be too discouraged, you're actually a very good girl!"
"Thank you, I'm feeling better now!" Tong Yue glanced at Yinglong gratefully.
"Have a little confidence in yourself!" Yinglong encouraged Tong Yue.
"Can you add some sugar? It's a little bitter. Tong Yue took a small sip of coffee and said.
"Okay! I'll help you!" Yinglong tore open a small packet of sugar and poured it into the cup.
"Okay! Tong Yue slowly stirred the coffee with a small spoon.
Yinglong was silent.
"Are you going to be like this for the rest of your life, and now you have a fall?" Tong Yue looked at Yinglong with a curious gaze.
"Where, I don't know who to turn to now, who would want me to be a divorced man?" Yinglong said in a deep tone as he remembered the "Angel's Kiss" that night, but he didn't dare to confide in his true feelings.
"Then have you thought about it, do you have a suitable girl?" Tong Yue asked Yinglong with concern, and after speaking, a pair of almond eyes flashed with a soft gaze.
"I haven't --, yet. Yinglong looked up and saw Tong Yue's gaze, and felt a little panicked.
Tong Yue immediately retracted his gaze: "Then you think about it and tell me." β
She muttered quietly.
Yinglong couldn't help but glance at Tong Yue a few more times, she was drinking coffee with her eyes lowered.
"Well, okay. Yinglong whispered yes.
Tong Yue drank coffee slowly, looked around the decoration of the store, praised Yinglong for its good decoration from time to time, very emotional, and asked Yinglong how his business is now.
Yinglong replied happily, smiled from time to time, and told Tong Yue that this was completely his own design.
Tong Yue praised repeatedly: "Yinglong, you are so smart!"
Yinglong smiled a little "proudly".
Tong Yue sat for a while, feeling that the conversation was almost over, and there were still some things to do, so he said goodbye to Yinglong: "Yinglong, I still have business to do in Bincheng, so I'll leave first, let's talk again next time we have time!"
Yinglong wanted to keep her: "What are you busy with, you have to leave so soon?"
"Really, I still have to go to a unit in Bincheng to run errands, it's not too late, see you next time." Tong Yue said, picked up the handbag and walked out the door.
After a while, Tong Yue turned back to Yinglong who gave her and said, "Actually, I still have something to ask you, do you still love Yuxin? β
When Yinglong heard this, he was stunned, but immediately came back to his senses: "How to say it, I know that she is alone now, but I have no choice, so I have to do this first, and then think about it in the long run." β
Tong Yue walked out of the door in silence, the autumn wind blew the silk scarf on the collar, kept swinging, she grabbed the end with her hand and stuffed it between the collars, and walked away with the steps of Pingting.
Yinglong looked at Tong Yue and felt an indescribable taste, as if he had disturbed a pool of autumn water.
After a while, Yinglong returned to the store and continued to look at the computer, not speaking for a long time.
