Chapter 22: Tangled Choices
After breakfast, Chen Mengran went out. Looking at the time, there was still half an hour and nine o'clock.
Chen Mengran stretched out his hand to take a taxi, and Li Mengxi was puzzled: "It's still early, just take the bus, why is it so extravagant to take a taxi?"
has been together for so long, and she knows Chen Mengran quite well. Unless he has to, he won't take a taxi so extravagantly, but he doesn't know what to smoke today.
Ignoring Li Mengxi, Chen Mengran said to the driver: "Master, go to Pingjin Bridge." ”
"Okay. The driver answered and started the car.
Li Mengxi sighed: "It seems that you still haven't listened to me. ”
"All I know is that if she really seeks death, I will feel guilty for the rest of my life. Chen Mengran said.
"You go over now, how do you explain to Gao Zhiqiang, you let go of other people's pigeons for no reason, and you didn't even say hello, this kind of behavior can be described as dishonesty and people, and the good image you have built up with great difficulty is also ruined, aren't you afraid that he will quit you in anger?"
Chen Mengran had a trace of entanglement on his face, and then said with a wry smile: "I can't care so much." ”
Li Mengxi did not persuade again.
Pingjin Bridge.
Under the bridge is the turbulent river, and several large boats are working in the river in the distance, mixed with a faint roar.
At this time, it was also nine o'clock in the morning, and the bridge was full of traffic, and rows of cars were endless.
On the side of the bridge railing, several couples overlooked the railing and looked at the waves of the river with emotion.
Zheng Huihui stood in the middle of the bridge, holding on to the railing with both hands, looking at the river in the distance in a daze with a calm face.
She arrived at eight o'clock, and it had been a full hour by now. For an hour, she remained motionless, waiting for someone to arrive. However, the man did not come according to the agreed time, and Zheng Huihui knew that if she waited like this, there would be no result.
Not far away, there was a sudden sound of laughter and scolding, Zheng Huihui turned her head to look, but saw a hundred meters away, a young couple was laughing and scolding by the bridge railing. The boy seemed to make the girl angry, and the girl's hand kept beating the boy's chest, seemingly very hard, and every time it hit the boy, the girl would retract her strength.
The boy kept begging under the girl's beating, and finally, he simply took the girl into his arms. The girl no longer slapped the boy, but pillowed her head into the boy's arms, a light smile on the corner of her mouth.
This scene is very warm, and Zheng Huihui's eyes are full of envy. Once upon a time, I snuggled in another man's arms like a girl, watching the waves of the river, listening to the man's sweet words, and fantasizing about future happiness in my mind.
Now, it has come to naught, that person did not come, those mountain alliances and sea oaths are already a yellow flower, the cruel reality makes her lose hope for the future, she knows that she has no face to live in this world.
Retracting her gaze, Zheng Huihui showed a miserable smile on her face, and touched her slightly bulging abdomen, she could feel that there was a young life in it.
Zheng Huihui's eyes showed charity, which then turned into grief. "I'm sorry, my child, Mommy can't let you come into this world." Your father doesn't want us anymore, and your mother doesn't have the face to live in this world anymore. Mom takes you to another world, where there is not so much pain, there is only relief. ”
After speaking, Zheng Huihui grabbed the bridge railing with both hands, propped up her left leg, and climbed onto the bridge railing.
Her anomalous behavior did not attract the attention of the others, and everyone looked at the scenery in the distance and did not notice any anomalies here.
Zheng Huihui climbed the bridge railing with her legs, her whole body hanging in mid-air, and she would jump off at any time.
Exclamations rang out from the side, and it was clear that someone had already noticed her unusual move.
Ignoring the commotion around her, Zheng Huihui looked down at the river surging below her, tears rolling in her eyes. Slowly closed his eyes, and two tears flowed from his eyes. Zheng Huihui choked up, "I'm sorry, my child. I'm sorry. ”
Her body kept leaning forward, and at the moment when she was about to fall down, a huge force suddenly came from behind her, her leaning body was pulled back, Zheng Huihui exclaimed, and her whole body fell backwards.
Zheng Huihui opened her eyes and found that she was not sinking in the river, but on the bridge, and there seemed to be something pressing under her.
"It's you. After being slightly stunned, Zheng Huihui recognized this person, it was not her classmate Chen Mengran.
"Why did you want to save me?" asked Zheng Huihui loudly, her tone unusually angry.
Chen Mengran was pressed under Zheng Huihui, only to feel that she couldn't breathe, and she wanted to speak, but she couldn't open her mouth for a while.
Zheng Huihui also realized this, she stood up slowly on the ground, and Chen Mengran felt a lot more breathing.
"What are you doing here, do you want to kill yourself?" Chen Mengran gasped and stood up from the ground.
"I want you to take care of it. Zheng Huihui scolded angrily, and wanted to say something more, but saw a lot of eyes cast around, and some people were still pointing at them, knowing that the action just now had attracted the attention of people with intentions.
Zheng Huihui hated this kind of behind-the-scenes discussion the most, and she didn't want to stay longer, so she turned around and left quickly.
Chen Mengran hesitated for a moment, and quickly followed.
The two walked out of the bridge and arrived at the city road, Zheng Huihui's pace finally slowed down, but when she turned around, she saw Chen Mengran following a meter away, and said dissatisfiedly: "What are you doing with me?"
"I'm afraid you're going to do something stupid. ”
"If you want to take care of it, do I know you well?"
"It's true that I don't know each other, but we are classmates, and we can be regarded as sympathetic, so naturally we can't watch you do stupid things. ”
"Freemasonry?"
"Yes, I also know that your results in the college entrance examination this time are not satisfactory, and I am not the same, but what is it, it is just an exam, which cannot determine our future life, we are still young, and the road ahead is very long, this road does not work, there must be other roads, don't you say?"
Zheng Huihui listened to Chen Mengran's inexplicable remarks, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, and he thought that he was looking for a short opinion because of the failure of the college entrance examination.
"Idiot. ”
Zheng Huihui gave Chen Mengran such an evaluation in her heart.
She didn't know that Chen Mengran already knew the reason, but she just deliberately pretended to be wrong.
"Why did you end up there?" asked Zheng Huihui.
"Well, I wanted to take advantage of this rare vacation to find a job, and I happened to meet you after going to the bridge. Chen Mengran sneered to hide his true thoughts.
"I see. Zheng Huihui did not doubt Chen Mengran's words, thinking that it was really a coincidence.
"Do you have any money?"
Chen Mengran took out his trouser pocket and took out the remaining more than 100 yuan.
"Let's go, I'll take you somewhere. Zheng Huihui thought about Chen Mengran and gave a look.
Looking at the back of Zheng Huihui leaving, Chen Mengran secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't know if the persuasion just now was useful, but judging from the current situation, Zheng Huihui seemed to have dispelled the idea of suicide, at least not now.
Zheng Huihui took Chen Mengran to the door of a bar, and was about to walk in, but was stopped by Chen Mengran.
"What are you doing here?"
"This is a bar, what else can you do here but drink?"
After saying that, he walked straight in.
Chen Mengran hesitated for a moment and walked in.
At this time, there are only a few people drinking in the bar.
The two sat at the bar, Zheng Huihui and the waiter asked for ten bottles of beer, and the waiter quickly took ten bottles of beer from the wine rack at the back door and placed them neatly on the bar.
Looking at the beer neatly stacked in two rows, Chen Mengran frowned.
"I don't drink. ”
"If you can't drink, then learn. ”
While speaking, Zheng Huihui had already opened two bottles of wine and handed one to Chen Mengran.
"I really won't drink. ”
Zheng Huihui didn't say anything, just looked at him coldly with her eyes
Chen Mengran was stared at by Zheng Huihui's eyes very unnaturally, and took the wine hard.
Zheng Huihui suddenly touched the wine glass with Chen Mengran and said, "It's done." ”
After speaking, he didn't wait for Chen Mengran to say anything, he raised his head and poured it into the mouth of the bottle.
However, obviously, Zheng Huihui is not good at drinking, and after only two sips, she couldn't help it, lowered her head and retched. In this way, a large mouthful overflows from the corners of the mouth and wets the clothes on the chest.
"You don't know how to drink at all, why do you have to practice yourself?" Chen Mengran exclaimed, wanting to snatch the wine from Zheng Huihui's hand, but she stopped her.
Zheng Huihui raised her head again and poured it hard. During this period, Chen Mengran tried to snatch the wine bottle from her hand twice, but she pushed it away. By the time he tried to snatch the bottle for the third time, Zheng Huihui had already finished drinking it. She said it was drinking, but she didn't have that kind of drink, most of the wine overflowed from her mouth, wetting her chest.
Zheng Huihui's face was pale and her brows were slightly frowned, obviously, at this time, she was very uncomfortable.
However, she still resisted the urge to vomit, looked at Chen Mengran and said, "It's your turn." ”
Chen Mengran looked at the wine in his hand and hesitated, not knowing if he should also indulge.
"If it's a man, drink it quickly, don't want a mother-in-law's. ”
Chen Mengran gritted her teeth and learned that Zheng Huihui raised her head and poured it at the mouth of the bottle.
Chen Mengran drank this bottle of wine in three times, and every time he wanted to vomit, he would stop slowing down. After drinking the whole bottle, Chen Mengran's face turned red.
Seeing that Chen Mengran drank a whole bottle, Zheng Huihui opened two bottles again.
was about to raise the bottle to drink again, but Chen Mengran stopped her.
"Let's say it first, it's okay to drink, but you have to drink it one sip at a time, and you can't hurt your body too much like just now. ”
In the end, Chen Mengran unconsciously glanced at Zheng Huihui's abdomen.
Zheng Huihui smiled bitterly and shook her head: "It's rare that someone still cares about my body, I thought I was forgotten by the world." ”
After speaking, Zheng Huihui raised her head and took a sip, I don't know if Chen Mengran's words worked, this time, she just tasted it.
Chen Mengran secretly breathed a sigh of relief, if Zheng Huihui still poured herself like she did just now, Chen Mengran was really worried about the child in her womb.
I also took a sip.
The two of them drank one sip at a time, and neither of them spoke during the process.
Finally, after drinking three bottles in a row, Zheng Huihui suddenly covered her face with her hands and sobbed in a low voice.
Chen Mengran knew that the effect of alcohol caused Zheng Huihui's inner sadness, so he didn't persuade him, just waited quietly.
Two minutes later, Zheng Huihui's sobbing gradually disappeared, and when she raised her head again, her eyes were already red and swollen, and I looked sorry for her beautiful face.
"Do you know why I'm looking for death today?" Zheng Huihui spoke very slowly, and under the influence of alcohol, she was also a little uncomfortable when she spoke.
"I fell in love with someone, I gave him all my qiē, and in the end, he said he didn't love me anymore. At the end, Zheng Huihui burst into tears.
