Chapter II
"Crimson, I'll go to the bathroom. ”
The boredom in his eyes flashed, and after greeting Shen Feibai, Jiang Yuxi got up and walked in the direction of the door of the private room with a decent smile on his face.
Shen Feibai sat on the sofa, looked at the obvious flattery of Xiao Cheng by the classmates around him, sneered, picked up the wine glass on the table and replaced himself with juice, and drank it slowly, without the slightest intention of stepping forward to join in the fun.
Everyone is a person who has entered the society, and now that Xiao Cheng is working in an internationally renowned company, they naturally want to have a good relationship, the so-called classmate relationship, but that's it.
If it weren't for accompanying Yuxi, she would definitely not have stepped into the Tyrone Hotel today.
After drinking a few sips of juice, when Shen Feibai went to look at Xiao Cheng, who was chatting and laughing among his classmates, his eyes were already cold.
For the classmates who used to laugh at her, she could still say hello with a polite smile, but for Xiao Cheng, she felt that saying more than one word was an insult to Yu Xi.
He was the one who pursued Yu Xi at the beginning, and he was the one who said that he broke up, what is the difference between this kind of behavior and those who give up playing with other people's feelings from the beginning?
Since he likes Ji Yuxin, why bother to provoke Yu Xi.
Xiao Cheng, who was complimented by his classmates, said hello to a few people who had a good relationship back then, and then looked at the position of the sofa in the corner, but only saw Shen Feibai sitting and drinking juice, and the disappointment in his eyes was removed, and he was about to go over to ask Jiang Yuxi's whereabouts, when his arm was grabbed by a classmate.
"I haven't seen you for so many years, you haven't changed at all, are you married?"
"Nope. ”
"I have a younger sister who is also in a construction company, and I am a peer with you, who is capable and beautiful, and I will introduce you to you another day. ”
"Thanks, no need. ”
"Don't be embarrassed, marriage is a lifelong event. ”
"I have a girlfriend. ”
Xiao Cheng has been looking for Jiang Yuxi's figure, in view of the enthusiasm of the classmates next to him, he had to answer sentence by sentence, and finally heard the classmates say that they wanted to introduce him to his girlfriend, and he had to find an excuse to prevaricate casually.
It's just that he didn't expect that this excuse was coincidentally heard by Jiang Yuxi, who had just returned from the bathroom.
I have a girlfriend.
Xiao Cheng's words made the air freeze suddenly, and the classmates next to him also looked embarrassed, not knowing what to say.
In the quiet air, Jiang Yuxi clearly felt that his heart was pounding.
At that moment, she understood what it was like to suddenly wake up from a dream she had been in for eight years.
There is no heroine of a romance drama who wants to die or live, and there is no sadness that the sky is falling apart, in the eight years that Xiao Cheng has disappeared, she has been living a free life, working easily, eating, drinking and having fun.
Mom and Dad thought she had long forgotten the past of that injury, and Scarlet also thought that she had let it go, and even she thought so herself, until she saw him again today and heard him say with her own ears that he had a girlfriend, Jiang Yuxi realized how much she cared about him.
I understand better what I have been fighting against in love over the years.
Four years after graduating from college, she hasn't been on a blind date, she hasn't been in love once, she hasn't even seen a man other than her father, she doesn't want to fall in love, she doesn't want to get married, she didn't understand what she was resisting before, but at this moment she figured it out, she was fighting.
Fighting against what is normal in the eyes of most people is fighting against the rules and regulations that have been drawn around her life.
Over the years, she has rejected many suitors, and Scarlet told her that she should be realistic, how many people in this world can go to the end with their first love? Life is not an idol drama, there are not so many unswerving to death, but she doesn't think so.
Maybe it's rare, but she believes that there must be such feelings in the world.
So she refused, rejecting anyone outside of Xiao Cheng.
It turns out that not mentioning it again is not because of letting it go, but because it is because I dare not mention it, what is put down, what is free and easy, but it is just self-deception that you can't deceive others and deceive yourself first.
But now, whether you can put it down or not, you have to let it go.
The whirling reality shattered the dream in my heart, there were no tears in my eyes, and there was no sadness, just because Jiang Yuxi was no longer the little girl who was in love eight years ago.
Raising his hand to brush the broken hair in front of his forehead, and smiling at the classmate who was pulling Xiao Cheng's arm next to him, Jiang Yuxi walked straight to the sofa and sat down next to Shen Feibai.
It seems that she is not Xiao Cheng's ex-girlfriend, and what Xiao Cheng just said is just an inconsequential sentence.
When the surrounding classmates saw this, they all thought that Jiang Yuxi had long since stopped taking Xiao Cheng to heart, so they put their minds at ease and continued to talk.
After all, eight years have passed, and even if there is discord between them, it is just that they are young and ignorant. Everyone is an adult, so naturally they don't take young fun to heart.
What's more, the current Jiang Yuxi wants to be talented and good-looking, so naturally there will be no shortage of excellent suitors.
"Yu Xi, I heard from my classmates just now that you also work in Yu City?"
After his arm was let go by the kind and enthusiastic classmate next to him, Xiao Cheng naturally sat on the sofa opposite Jiang Yuxi and Shen Feibai, and asked Jiang Yuxi in a warm voice.
"Hmm. Taking a sip of the juice handed by Shen Feibai, Jiang Yuxi reluctantly removed his mouth from the straw, drooped his eyelids, took out his mobile phone from his bag and looked at the time, "I teach at No. 1 Middle School. ”
"How have you been doing all these years?" Seemingly unaffected by Jiang Yuxi's attitude of ignoring him, Xiao Cheng pushed the fruit bowl in his hand in Jiang Yuxi's direction and spoke again.
"Good. Hearing this bloody line that appears frequently in idol dramas, Jiang Yuxi used all the politeness and upbringing in his life to suppress his urge to splash the juice in his hand on Xiao Cheng's face, calmly threw out two words, and then turned his head to Shen Feibai, who had not spoken from beginning to end, and said, "Mom just sent a message urging me to go back, give me the car keys, and I'll wait for you in the parking lot." ”
Xiao Cheng watched Jiang Yuxi politely greet the classmates in the private room, and then walked out of the private room unhurriedly with the bag, the shadow elongated under the light, and the last bit disappeared from his sight.
He never had the courage to take that step.
"How is the old lady doing has a wool relationship with you, you can't turn the earth without you!"
Shen Feibai walked into the parking lot, and saw Jiang Yuxi's feet wearing seven-centimeter high heels kicked on the guardrail all of a sudden, scolding fiercely, and then he was very disappointed to find that he was really worried in vain just now.
Yu Xi is no longer the little girl who died for Xiao Cheng eight years ago.
In the night, the red Porsche was dusted away, Xiao Cheng stood at the door of the parking lot, took out his mobile phone, glanced at the mobile phone number he had just asked for from his classmates, and his eyes were dyed with a little smile, like a star.
The car was quiet and warm, such an atmosphere was completely different from the outside, and the safe and enclosed space allowed Jiang Yuxi to remove his camouflage armor.
The overwhelming sadness swept in, and the bullets in the chest were always so heartbreaking.
She sat in the back seat, buried her face in the pillow, her shoulders trembling slightly, and in a few moments, the cute cartoon pattern on the pillow was wet with tears.
For the eight years of wishful thinking, but also for the dream that has been shattered in my heart.
Jiang Yuxi's house is not far from the hotel, and it will be there in a while, Shen Feibai opened the car door, and when she saw Jiang Yuxi crying in a mess, she realized that she had underestimated Xiao Cheng's position in her heart.
She looked at the uncomfortable Jiang Yuxi, and the words of comfort swirled a few times in her throat, but she couldn't say anything.
She is a selfish person, and she will only love herself more than others, so she will never be able to love affectionately, let alone put a man in her heart for so many years, but despite this, she can still feel Yu Xi's sadness.
But she couldn't do anything but feel distressed, because no one could help her except Yu Xi herself.
Shen Feibai sent Jiang Yuxi downstairs before leaving with a heart.
Jiang Yuxi, who was red-eyed, raised his head, glanced at the building that had not had many lights, and breathed a sigh of relief, at this time, his parents had already rested.
Whoever leaves this world, the earth will turn the same way, and when the sun rises again, the past has long since gone with the night.
The early morning sun is sprinkled on the high-rise Yu City, which is lined with golden light, which is particularly beautiful.
Hurrying to catch the last morning bus, Jiang Yuxi lazily looked at the verdant greenery outside the window, and considered very seriously whether she should hurry up and get her driver's license.
The shuttle bus ran fast, pulling the scenery and pedestrians outside the window into afterimages, Jiang Yuxi flipped through the calendar on his phone, tirelessly and slowly counted his holidays this month, and then planned beautifully, where to go with Scarlet White on the weekend, or where to eat delicious food.
Although the salary as a teacher is a little less, but fortunately, there are fewer classes, and there is no need to work overtime on weekends, so she is still very satisfied with her job.
Fortunately, the distance from home to school is not very far, after reading the calendar, Jiang Yuxi swiped his phone a few more times, and heard the female voice broadcast from the speaker.
It would be good if the magazine and the school were in the same direction, she could rely on Crimson day after day, year after year, and take her hitchhiker every day, Jiang Yuxi stood in front of the stop sign, looking at the shuttle bus that was leaving the dust, and thought very regretfully, so that she didn't have to catch the early bus every day.
But that doesn't affect her good mood.
Humming a minor tune into the door of the school's high-end atmosphere, and greeted the security guard with a smile, Jiang Yuxi walked in the direction of the office, and sighed for the umpteenth time, this society is riding on a rocket-like development speed.
I think when she was in junior high school, the area of the school was only the size of a palm.
A four-story teaching building is ordinary, and the so-called playground is just a pitifully small open space in front of the teaching building, and the only fitness equipment is two dilapidated table tennis tables.
Although it was not difficult at that time, how could there be such superior conditions for the school now, not to mention anything else, the area of more than 400 acres of Yushi No. 1 Middle School was incomparable before, not to mention any library, roller skating rink, dance studio, piano room, etc., all kinds of venues.
She is very envious of her current children.
