CHAPTER XIII
"Formally introduce myself to myself. ”
The gloomy sky, the deserted streets, the dismal cafés, and the occasional passer-by passing by the shop window are always lazy and tired, and these situations are the best for listening to sad stories.
I was holding a cup of warm bubble tea, and in the corner of the bar not far away, the waiter with a big black bib around his waist was making his last efforts for Jiang Beisheng's cup of freshly ground black coffee.
"My name is Jiang Beisheng, a professional manager, and I receive an annual salary of one million, but I am not as happy as the vendor who fried oil balls on the street. This life lasted for four years, and my body was under too much stress and I had some regrettable minor conditions. So, when my boss talked to me about renewing my contract at the beginning of this year, I voluntarily gave up and left that circle completely. I want to give myself another life, a stress-free and healthy life. After traveling through several cities, I finally came to this third-tier city that is not too much and not too little. At the beginning of February, I made a one-time payment to buy a shop near the cinema in the city center. Unexpectedly, the shops in third-tier cities were sold for more than 3 million. Let's be honest, buying a shop cost me all my savings. Fortunately, the shop is very popular, and it was rented to a seller of women's clothing that month, and the rent was 16,000 per month. This is the only source of experience I have at the moment. Uh, by the way, I don't have a house, so I'm temporarily living in Bai Muyan's house. After talking about my work, let's talk about my original family ......"
If a person can tell his story in a very calm and indifferent tone, then this person will either be hurt and can't get out, or he will come out completely after being hurt. Either way, it indicates that the person's emotions have become barren to the point of no grass. It's definitely not a good partner to fall in love with.
I lowered my head and inhaled a black pearl, which I chewed no more than twice. The waiter with a long black bib walked over from the corner of the bar with Jiang Beisheng's freshly ground black coffee.
"Sir, the black coffee you ordered. ”
The sound is clean and pure.
I looked up and saw that it was a beautiful and white little boy.
Jiang Beisheng just hummed lightly, and a faint layer of shyness quietly appeared on the waiter's beautiful face. In a materialistic society, shyness has become a rare quality, and I guess he should be a student.
Just like me in that summer many years ago, I showed a hint of shyness in my restraint. will also be like the song sings, the years are a pig-killing knife, the black fungus is purple, the grapes are soft, the banana is soft, there is no passion and there is no feeling of losing the sentiment, and the bird of my youth has flown away. One day, his shyness will usher in a pig-killing knife that belongs to him.
I consoled myself with this.
I heard that there are always some men on the streets in summer who can't control their eyes and like to peek at the young ladies who are dressed in cool clothes and look beautiful.
Could these men, like me, just remember a pig-killing knife? Or maybe I'm thinking too much, why do men need a reason to look at women?
No matter what the truth is, there is always a noisy woman next to such a man, just like at this moment, there is a vicious man next to me.
"Chromophobia also, diet men and women. Wu Xiaoqi, I can understand, but please don't forget, you are a middle-aged man, and this kind of thing when you drool when you see a beautiful young man is not suitable for you ten years ago, let alone ten years later?"
Jiang Beisheng's habit of taking a bite at me coldly really gave me a headache.
I withdrew my gaze from the waiter who had taken me to the bar, shook the half-empty cup of bubble tea, and reminded him very happily: "Mr. Jiang Beisheng, do you want to continue your formal introduction?"
He picked up his steaming cup of coffee and took a sip.
"I don't have much family. My parents divorced when I was one year old due to emotional discord, and I gave it to my father. Half a year later, my mother remarried. Just ten days later, my father died in an accident while driving drunk. My grandfather raised me. I have no siblings, my father is an only son, and my mother has an older sister, but since she remarried, my grandfather has cut off all contact with her, including this aunt. Now that my grandfather is old and doesn't ask much of me, he hopes that I will find someone to marry and have children as soon as possible. Getting married and having children may just be a matter of course for others. It's like...... Spring is here and the flowers will bloom. When the age comes, so does the person who will marry you. This thought came up before I broke up with my fourth girlfriend. After the breakup, I realized that the water must be unimpeded, and the water can flow without hurry. My canal has been blocked after my parents divorced, my mother remarried, and my father died unexpectedly. To put it simply, I don't believe in women, I don't believe in marriage, and I don't want to get married. That's why I'm chasing you so hard. ”
For the first time in 35 years, a man swore to me that he would "chase after me."
I should have been dancing with joy, but the truth is, I was so depressed. I silently recited three times "The human heart is not enough to swallow the elephant, and the desire is difficult to fill the ghost and see the sorrow" to calm his frustration little by little.
An hour and a half later, Jiang Beisheng and I broke up amicably at the end of the street in front of the coffee house and went back to our respective homes. It was only fifteen minutes from the coffee house to my house, and I walked five more minutes to get home.
As soon as he lay down on the couch, Bean's father's call came after him.
I just remembered that Bai Muyan was still a guest at Nanako's house, and suddenly I had a bad premonition.
"Qiqi, Dad apologizes to you first. Recently, my father and mother have been too anxious and have put a lot of pressure on you, because my parents are not good, and they shouldn't urge you to talk to you all day long. Alas, Mom and Dad know that they are wrong, and they will not urge or talk about it in the future, as long as you live well, have a good time, and come back often, Mom and Dad will be content. Uh, by the way, that little white has already gone back. Well, Qiqi, Xiaobai, this young man is very good, good-looking, well-educated, well-working, and well-off, not bad, really a very good young man. Don't say you like it, Mom and Dad like it too. But girl, no matter how much you like it, we can't like other people's things. Let's just say that this engaged person, although it has no legal effect, but they are also unmarried. Unmarried couples are also husband and wife, you ...... You can't do that. Qiqi, listen to my father's advice, let's not do bad things that interfere in other people's marriages. I heard your aunt say that Chen Zheng is very good, he is a little older, but he is also a first marriage, you don't suffer. Qiqi, listen to Dad, you will come back tomorrow and have a light meal at home with Chen Zheng's aunt. You and Chen Zheng have a good contact again. ”
In my memory, this kind of tirade, Daddy Bean has only had twice. One time was when I was twelve years old, and he knelt in my grandmother's funeral hall and chattered, and the other time is today.
It can be seen that Mr. Bean's blow to Bai Muyan is huge and painful.
I sighed: "Dad, you misunderstood, I only found out that Bai Muyan was engaged this afternoon." I admit I'm ......"
"Oops, my daughter~"
I was about to explain to Daddy Bean when Nanako's sad voice suddenly came out on the other end of the phone, causing me to use too much force and almost bite my tongue off.
"Old lady, I'm going to be by you. The old lady begs you, don't think about it like that, you are old, you have a bad temper, you don't know how to take care of people, you have a bad problem, but you can rest assured, the old lady has gone to the temple for you, you are not lonely and old......"
Nanako cried and grabbed the ground, and I had a headache, a very headache.
couldn't wait for her to finish speaking, endured the pain in her tongue, and said provocatively regardless of it: "Who said that my object is Bai Muyan, and my object is Jiang Beisheng." It's Xiao Jiang who was indiscriminately left aside by you today. Oh, old lady, I just asked you if you were surprised?
