Chapter 15: Reunion after a long absence
It's Saturday in the blink of an eye, Quan Yu came over early in the morning with meat and vegetables, saying that he feels hard at work recently, and he is a little tired physically and mentally, and he wants to eat something good, and then he feels that he has made up for it a little bit of a small stove that is closed and eats alone, so he can only be cheap and cheap for me, and let me eat some good things by the way.
In the past few days, Quan Yu has not treated me very warmly, and even if I take the initiative to talk to him, I will be ignored, so it is a little surprising to see him take the initiative to give me food today, and there is also a little surprise in the accident.
In the past few months, thanks to Kwon Yu's cooking skills, I have gradually lost interest in the dishes outside, and I feel that I can't swallow anything. Everyone brought it themselves, and I couldn't get it out, and besides, it was a bit too heartless to keep this good thing out of the door.
Quan Yu whistled and worked all morning, I was bored flipping through the webpage, watching the news, and took out a relatively old-fashioned clothes and shoes, and silently thought about how this person should let him retreat in the afternoon, so that I would not offend people in front of Sister Fu.
After lunch, Quan Yu had no intention of leaving, helping me water the flowers on the balcony, feeding the fish in the fish tank, and making fragrant coffee for me. In fact, the word 'help me' is not very accurate, this little flower and little fish and coffee and the coffee machine were bought and brought by Quan Yu, I hinted that I am not suitable for the small place here, but Quan Yu said that I am too lifeless here, no mood, so that he is a little blind, since they often come over, it is necessary to save my living environment.
My living environment was normal before he came, but he only began to be precarious after he came, he didn't think he had many problems, but came to teach me a lesson, but although the contact time was not too long, I knew that he was a character who did not stop until he reached his goal, you refused today, and he would still use the same thing to persuade you the day after tomorrow, so he simply went with him.
But seeing that the time agreed by Sister Fu was getting closer and closer, I looked up at the serious young man who was holding the coffee cup he had purchased in his left hand and holding the book in his right hand, and I didn't know how to open my mouth to drive him back, Quan Yu should have felt that I was looking at him, but from time to time I raised my eyes from the book and glanced at it for a moment or two, as if I couldn't see the anxiety in my heart now, but I watched him look at the movement of his watch from time to time, and this book was not so serious.
If you don't open your mouth, it won't work, and this big Buddha looks like it's going to be eaten here for dinner. I pretended to be casual and said, "Ahem, that, Quan Yu, I have something to go out, if it goes well, I'll come back within two hours, if it doesn't go well, I should come back after dinner, you see that you're also full of food and drink, and you're tired, right, why don't you go home and sleep?"
"Oh, if it goes well, two hours, if it doesn't go well, after dinner?" the corners of his mouth raised, and he smiled. Gently closed the book with his right hand, "Then you go, I'll wait for you at home." ”
I saw that he was unceremonious, and replied with a dry smile: "Hehehe, you don't treat yourself as an outsider." He rolled his eyes and turned to change his clothes.
Quan Yu used to complain a few words when he saw me wearing clothes, either the style was too old, the style was too conservative, or even the color was too light. Today I deliberately wore a set of clothes that I bought at the night market a few years ago, the fabric looks relatively low-level, not to mention, the style is also unbearable to look at directly, but he did not criticize my clothes, but looked satisfied and nodded and gave a thumbs up, I really don't know which tendon is wrong.
Thanks to Sister Fu's insistence on never looking back when she hit the south wall, it is not the first time for me to deal with this kind of occasion, and it is also handy to deal with it, so I deliberately arrived an hour earlier than the agreed time, leaving enough time to make preparations.
I asked for a cup of black coffee that I never drink, and I couldn't help but feel a pain when I paid for it, this small cup of coffee is worth my day's meal, and I will replace it directly with Coke at home in the future.
When he was still ten minutes away from the agreed time, he looked around to make sure that no one was looking in this direction, scooped out some coffee with a spoon and spilled it on the shirt on his chest, and then rubbed it back and forth a few times. Then I deliberately messed up my hair against the glass window next to me, painted the blush on my face three times the usual amount, and deliberately fainted a little when I finally applied lipstick, and after everything was done, I took out the mirror and looked at it, well, the effect was very satisfying. If I were to sit across from me in the near future, I would be scared away by this crazy woman in front of me.
The waiter in this big café is well-informed, and it is estimated that I am careful and people can see through it, seeing that I have almost spilled the coffee, and I am very understanding to refill the cup and then silently put down a stack of paper towels. I just don't know if this coffee stain can be washed off, although this shirt was bought at a discount, but after all, I haven't worn it a few times.
Just after all this work, a message came from the phone: "Sorry to wait for a long time, I'll be here in five minutes." "Everything is ready, just wait for your east wind to hit the south wall.
"Okay, I've arrived, I'm at the window", after the message was returned, he sat back and waited for the promising young man to come and fight the evil.
After catching a glimpse of the two long legs standing in front of me, I pretended to be reserved and straightened my hair, wiped my hands on the top of my pants twice, and raised my head with a long-awaited expression.
If I could turn back the clock, I would have neatly rejected this blind date. Or, at least, omit the action. I don't know if the smile of the talented person on the other side is natural, but at the moment my expression must be stiff enough to smash a walnut.
The talented man on the other side seemed to be smiling, and slowly said with a hint of teasing: "Arou, I haven't seen you for a long time." "Simple and clear, concise and to the point, there is no surprise and depression of reunion, there is no emotional fluctuations that old people should have when they meet, and there is no unforgettable and rekindled old love that reunites after a breakup, but I am still panicking at the moment.
This person, although I have secretly reunited after a long absence many times in private, it is nothing more than that: I am dressed in white with a small umbrella with broken flowers, and I am a mess of poetry and songbooks in my hand, or I am wearing a black windbreaker with an ink-colored long bone umbrella, and I am a cool mess with a mobile phone and sunglasses in my hand, etc., which can make the other party stunned.
I thought back to how I spilled the coffee, how I scratched my hair, how I put on the blush like a wall painting, how I put on my faint lipstick, and I wanted to find a gap to get into it. However, many years ago, I knew that there is no crack in the earth that can shelter a person who has no place to be ashamed, and there is no crack in the ground that can shelter a person who has lost his soul.
But at this time, the spell is a psychological quality, the other party couldn't hold back the laughter, I can't be embarrassed too obviously, the dead pig is not afraid of boiling water under the guidance of the policy, I try to control myself with a kind of you abrupt my tone back:" Mr. probably recognized the wrong person, I'm not Zhen Rou in your mouth, I don't know this person, sir, you fancy the position of me, the little skirt and big white legs of the girl who is by the window and can see the stairs on the overpass, just right, I'm leaving, you can sit here, there is no need to make friends with me for a position. ”
After speaking, he didn't care what the expressions of the people behind him were, took out his wallet, slapped the coffee money on the table, and trotted all the way out of the café.
The man next to me grabbed my arm fiercely, and his tone was not as steady as just now: "Arou, how are you doing after so many years?"
I tried hard to pull his fingers away, but he didn't move. I tried hard for a long time, but in vain. He pressed his other hand on my hand and said, "Arou, do you hate me?"
I raised my head and tried to give him a smile: "Sir, if you don't let go, I'm going to call the police." ”
A hint of reluctance flashed in his eyes, and his tone softened. "Arou, I'm sorry, you gave me a chance to explain. ”
I sneered and replied: "Sir, I am not 'Arou' as you say, and I don't know what you have to do with him, I just want to tell you: I don't know you, I have something to leave now, please let me go." ”
He let go of my arm and turned around to stand in front of me, "Okay, let's get acquainted again, my name is Chen Mo, and I am the person you Manager Fu wants to introduce to you." ”
I tried to forget the name, but I kept remembering it in many midnight dreams. At this point, he was so comfortable saying the name in front of me. Why was he able to introduce himself so calmly?
Seeing that he didn't mean to let me out, I turned around and sat back in the position I had just put on, tied my hair back up, wiped off the blush on my cheeks and lipstick on my mouth with a few tissues given by the waiter, and finally unhurriedly took out the square towel I had prepared in advance and wrapped it around my neck, just enough to cover the place where I had just sprinkled my coffee. He sat across from me, not saying a word, but his eyes were fixed on me.
I simply didn't look at him, straightened up, and looked straight out the window. After a long time, he spoke: "Arou, how have you been doing all these years?"
I sneered and replied, "What if it's good, what's wrong with it." It's my own life after all, and it has nothing to do with you. ”
Chen Mo ignored the sarcasm in my words, took a sip and handed it over, and slowly spoke: "Arou... ”
"Stop calling me by my name like that. I interrupted him, "That title is forever with the original person, and it will never come back." ”
Chen Mo's voice trembled a little and said, "I just want to know if you're doing well." ”
"What if it's good, what's wrong with it?" I asked him.
Chen Mo wanted to grab my hand, but I threw him away, his expression looked a little forbearant and a little painful, I really don't understand, after so many years, why did he still make such a look.
I didn't want to dwell too much on it, so I continued, "Am I supposed to tell you that I'm not doing well, so that your self-esteem will be greatly satisfied?"
Chen Mo's hand holding the water cup seemed to be very hard, and his knuckles were bent shaped, as if he wanted to speak: "It's not like this... ”
"What's that? Why are you holding me and not letting me leave now? You were the one who turned away at the beginning, and you are the one who won't let me leave now, everything in this world has to work according to your ideas, right? Then let me tell you, I used to be very bad, and even wanted to die in the past, but I didn't die in the end, and I lived a good life until now, so I am very good now, much better than myself back then. ”
I rushed out of the café before I could get emotionally out of control, and this time, he didn't stop me.
The moment I went out, I felt that my answer was very handsome, neither unreasonable like a shrew scoundrel, nor did I make myself look humble. I walked around the corner with all my might, but I began to feel that my body seemed to lose strength in an instant, and I squatted down against the wall behind me, burying my head in my backpack and crying like rain, and all the breath I was holding on to was released. The past is not something you want it to drift away like smoke all at once, no matter how far it drifts, if there is a whirling wind, it can still choke people and lose their eyes.
This crowded street is not a good place to vent my emotions, I was immersed in my thoughts, but someone gently tapped me on the shoulder, "Sister, are you okay?" An innocent child's voice came into the ears.
I was embarrassed to look up and be seen in this embarrassment, still buried my head in my bag and shook my head, and said, "Sister is fine, my sister is too tired to walk, squat here to rest for a while." ”
Tong Sheng continued: "There is an uncle who asked me to give you this pack of tissues. I reluctantly raised my head and reached out to take it, patted his round little head, wiped my eyes and looked around, and asked him, "Which uncle?"
The little boy reached out and pointed to the side: "That's it, a good-looking uncle." ”
I looked forward in the direction of his finger, and before I could see clearly, a figure quickly flashed behind the corner, really a comrade Lei Feng who did good deeds without leaving a name. He took a few deep breaths, thanked the kid and the adults behind him, turned around and walked home. The adult world does not allow you to soak in grief for too long.
After arriving at the door of the house, he took out a mirror from his bag and looked at it, and only knocked on the door after making sure that there was no trace of crying, but no one answered after knocking a few times, took out the key and opened the door, the house was empty, presumably Quan Yu felt that he was bored and went home first.
took off his shoes and threw himself on the sofa, remembering his embarrassment when he first met again, and still felt a little resentful. Renyun: I borrowed help to eliminate my sorrows, but I want to borrow wine to forget about my embarrassment. Thanks to Quan Yu, I don't have a shortage of beer in my fridge.
The cold liquid went down to the stomach, and the whole person began to wake up a lot. Today, I am still out of shape after all, I will feel embarrassed in front of acquaintances, I will feel immoral in front of strangers, and I will feel immoral in front of people who are not acquaintances and strangers, which category do I belong to?
After a few bottles of wine, the person was no longer very conscious, and his consciousness seemed to pass through this passing year, stopping at the time when I first met him. At that time, I never thought that I would have anything to do with him, but once I did, I wanted to have a long-term involvement. However, everything is just a flash in the pan.
