Chapter 154: The so-called confidant
As Zhong Ziyi's words fell, the love-hate entanglement that had come to an end came to an end.
Su Yiyang and Zhong Ziyi grew up together since childhood, and they don't know each other's personalities anymore, although Zhong Ziyi looks at the boundless waves, and any girl who is still in line with his eyes can spread some ambiguous rumors, in fact, it is a particularly difficult thing for him to really admit it, especially recently Zhong Dashao has been addicted to work, and he has less leisure to care about those children's love.
Probably Zhong Ziyi knows how precious it is to pay a piece of sincerity, and he is not shy about timely entertainment and interest exchange with obvious purpose, and he doesn't mind more peachy news to fill the years day after day. But he couldn't live up to his sincerity, and he knew that he couldn't afford it, so he simply didn't take it.
Su Yiyang knows better than anyone else that although Zhong Ziyi has lived a very liberated life in the past few years, the habits of the children of the big courtyard in his bones, as well as the profound influence left on him by his original family, are the most indelible - self-denial, compliance with principles, elimination of egoism and so on, etc., those qualities that may seem a little silly to some businessmen are deeply engraved in Zhong Ziyi's code of conduct, and there is no moment that will be violated.
To a certain extent, the amorous affair is just an illusion, and wanton is just a cover-up.
Zhong Ziyi is not a casual person at all.
Even if Su Yiyang tried to match some time ago, Zhong Ziyi did not give a clear attitude, in the final analysis, it is nothing more than that his requirements for feelings are too pure, and Chu Youyou's position in his heart is far more important than he imagined, and his refusal to confirm the relationship is not because it is not deep enough, but precisely because he cares too much.
The fleeting freshness and unobtrusive whim can only support for three months, but Zhong Ziyi and Chu Youyou are pulling intermittently, and the relationship has only increased and not decreased after almost a year, which is enough to show the weight of this relationship in each other's minds. Chu Youyou is too clean, her likes and admiration are like crystal crystals, treasures that need to be treated carefully, Zhong Ziyi sometimes even feels that even if she is a little insincere, holding the idea of "try it out", it is disrespectful to this relationship, and it will tarnish the sincerity of the girl's initial love.
If Li Xuanci is Zhong Ziyi's youthful frivolity, it is the old dream that he refused to wake up from, and the unwillingness that precipitated after he paid all the tenderness and sweetness wrongly. Then Chu Youyou is his salvation, a new beginning for him to reorganize his bags and a long road full of hope, and the last pure land in the depths of his heart.
Zhong Ziyi was afraid that his hesitation would affect Chu Youyou's sincerity, so he didn't dare to make any decisions before he and Miss Li did not settle and let go completely.
And at the last moment, Zhong Ziyi finally understood his heart, which was enough to explain everything.
The bar is dimly lit, and the dim yellow tones paint everything around it with a hazy beauty.
The overall decoration is unique, the wood-toned walls are dotted with intricate patterns of wrought iron retro wall lamps, the windows, tables and chairs are wrapped in hemp rope, and the drunk wine bottles are stuffed with a star lamp, projecting a small circle of beautiful light on the glass outer wall, and rippling like ripples, dispelling the darkness in the room.
The minimum consumption that makes people hurt has established the overall taste here, and even the extravagance is not obvious. Unlike bars that attract customers with their pompous furnishings and noisy orchestra pits, the sophistication of this shop is reflected in the details.
The abstract decorative paintings of postmodernism hanging in the bar are not the stream of consciousness painted by third-rate painters with paint, and at first glance they are not aware of the calendar, but there is no more merit. These are the creations of masters at the auction level of major art exhibitions, any one is worth a lot of money, the painting carries the creator's emotions and understanding, it is worth taking a closer look, and it can be seen that the shopkeeper has a great ability to appreciate these paintings.
These paintings are placed in the store, and they will not appear too rich, nor will they be deliberately alternative for the sake of being different, but they are in line with the overall style, and they can be the icing on the cake, which is a typical "Su Da Shao" style of elegance. The initial arrangement was of course the intention of the bar owner himself, but the subsequent addition of large and small collectibles was indispensable to Su Dashao's help, outsiders may not be able to see it, but Zhong Ziyi, an insider insider, could see at a glance that these objects were arranged in accordance with the consistent aesthetic standards of his own family.
Zhong Ziyi gently shook the wine glass in his hand, he looked at the painting on the wall through the clear yellow wine, the white canvas was outlined with thick ink and heavy color paintings, and the oil paintings were overlapped with a brush, obviously they were all magnificent and gorgeous colors, but they were stacked together but unexpectedly looked psychedelic and heavy, as if they had precipitated entanglement and melancholy that could not be dissolved.
At the bottom of this painting is a piece of white cardboard, indicating that the dragon and phoenix are dancing, and the inscription is "covered with water".
When he didn't talk about Li Xuanci, Zhong Ziyi thought about it in his heart, and always felt that these things were too difficult to talk about, but when he really said it, all his emotions were just relief, and the final goodbye was never quiet.
Like now—
Zhong Ziyi didn't have any melancholy, and he didn't bother with Li Xuanci's affairs anymore, and even had the leisure to look at the abstract painting seriously, and sighed that since it has reached the point of flooding, why bother adding pen and ink, it was originally difficult to collect.
On the other side of the wine table, Su Yiyang drank unhurriedly and didn't say anything for a long time.
The dim light gives everything around it a particularly distinct silhouette, without the interference of loud and dry music, and this confession is unexpectedly calm, and the smell of alcohol seems to be even more intoxicating.
Zhong Ziyi has already confessed his words to this extent, there is no need to say more deeply about those at a deeper level, Su Yiyang also leaves a lot of room for his own hair, he does not stand on the commanding heights to judge the so-called right and wrong, and he does not bother to say that it has already been useless in hindsight, and then explain anything.
Su Yiyang knows better than anyone that he is as arrogant as Zhong Ziyi, whether he pays or gives up, it is just a matter of one person.
In the past, he did not force Li Xuanci to respond, and now he does not need others to interfere.
In the reverberating slow shake, Zhong Ziyi and Su Yiyang pushed the cup to change the lamp, and in the end, it was Su Dashao's chuckle that broke the silence: "Hey, by the way, Xiaoyi, there is something I'm very curious about, since I have said this today, give me answers and solve my doubts?"
Zhong Ziyi was not half drunk, and the conversation box was completely opened, and he raised his eyebrows at the moment: "What's the matter, you say?"
"Of course it's geometric propaganda, I saw that you didn't want to mention it before, so I thought it had something to do with Li Xuanci, you have a pimple in your heart, I didn't ask much, although I think your head seems to be squeezed by the door frame, it's not good to complain about you, to put it bluntly, no matter how stupid you are, you are still my only brother after all, I have to give you the same care as your father, there is no other way except to help you. ”
Su Yiyang raised his wine glass and touched Zhong Ziyi lightly, and then he laughed and teased.
"You have no business acumen and you have to learn from others to start a business, lose money every day when you open your eyes, and do those thankless stupid things. But any human being in his right mind knows that he should be in a hurry, no matter how big your heart is, it will be a little uncomfortable, right? I can also wake you up, but what I want to say, Uncle Zhong has probably told you, I will double the damage and then tell you that you are depressed, and I have to take you to the doctor, why bother to find trouble for yourself...... Now that you've seen it, tell me what you think. ”
Zhong Ziyi was squeezed by such a good pass, his lips touched up and down, and he didn't speak.
He said in his heart, Su Dashao really doesn't know how to save face for lovelorn people, except for talking about love, this mouth doesn't have a good knock at all, it's completely shocking and endless, isn't it doubling the damage to say these things now?
However, it is precisely because of Su Yiyang's naturalness and this kind of unobtrusive care that Zhong Ziyi completely returned to a normal state, and in the end, the sad atmosphere dissipated like smoke, and he didn't have time to go to the sad spring and autumn again, so he simply found a place for himself.
"What's wrong with me, don't open your mouth and bury me, now that the spring garden has developed to this extent, I can't be considered a big hero, at least I didn't hold you back, right? As for losing money at the beginning...... You should be a business wizard like you, can't you give us ordinary people some way to live, I just just pay some tuition, it's normal, okay, if you have the ability, let's talk with our current results?"
"Don't divert the topic, how did the current results come about, do you still need me to carefully break it with you? So a great hero, let me ask you first, why don't you think of publicity, all roads lead to Rome, but you chose the one that you are not good at, is it to challenge yourself - don't hide it from me at this time, just say it directly. ”
"I told you what I told you...... At that time, you didn't come back abroad, and I couldn't still call you across the ocean to confide in you, and when you came back, my little thoughts were almost digested, and there was no point in talking about it....... Come on, I'll just tell you now. ”
Zhong Ziyi didn't shy away from it anymore, and opened his mouth in a thoughtful tone: "When I was about to graduate, I had a period with Li Xuanci, and then she broke up and she felt that I was incapable and stupid to be restrained by the compound, so I thought about doing something in a fit of anger....... But then again, she was only part of the reason, at that time my dad arranged everything after that, and my graduation was nothing more than ...... Going to the army, sharpening at the grassroots level, finding a way to pull back, and then climbing up step by step, how to say, I can almost see what I was like when I retired, and my life in this life is like that. ”
Su Yiyang thought about Zhong Ziyi's words and guessed what he was thinking.
"So you think it's boring, and you want to try something else?"
"Yes, it's really boring, when I was a child, I was a good student who followed the rules, and I was in the top few in the class in all my homework, no way, like a good-faced person like my dad, he couldn't accept that his children were not good. No matter what I think, in the end, I have to talk about the results, and his kind of consequentialist has always only looked at the results, not the process. ”
Speaking of this, Zhong Ziyi's tone paused slightly, and a low smile rolled out of his throat, his beautiful phoenix eyes were deep with unknown meaning, and in the dim light, the fine bangs softly covered his eyebrows, but it was inexplicably light.
"When I was a child, I actually envied you...... Ah Yang, you can choose your life as you like, cheating on exams, being late for class, not handing in homework, I won't follow you one by one for those bastard behaviors, and then I didn't take the college entrance examination, and directly chose to study abroad, whatever I didn't dare to do, otherwise my dad would have to discount my legs. So at the beginning, I was very happy that you could be friends with me and show me a different state of life. ”
Counting the friendships of their youth, they don't have a little jealousy, and then they have a little pride.
How can you be a confidant.
