Chapter Twenty-Seven: For the rest of my life, it's good not you
This long and unforgettable meal is finally over. Xu Wanting said to everyone: "She invited this meal." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, her classmates burst into thunderous applause for her generosity.
Xu Jianchuan said coldly, "Although I am not rich enough, I will give my share of the money for this meal." ”
Xu Jianchuan's words slapped everyone in the face. Xu Wanting didn't give him a good look, "Seeing that you are pitiful, I am kind." ”
Xu Jianchuan took out a few hundred-yuan bills from his dirty clothes, "I took your mind." Although I am a little poor, I am not enough to let others help me. ”
I looked at Xu Wanting's face and instantly sank.
Miao Hao hurriedly said: "The reunion of old classmates is still AA." ”
Xu Wanting looked at Xu Jianchuan and asked, "You have to get along with me." ”
"If I eat and don't give money, my conscience will be condemned. Xu Jianchuan insisted on his principles, "You have money, and it's your business to spoil it." But, I still have to do it myself. ”
"This meal cost you a month's living expenses!" Xu Wanting said in a contemptuous tone, "Seeing that you are miserable, I will be kind." ”
Miao Hao saw that the atmosphere was too stiff, and hurriedly said: "Everyone is classmates, we..."
Xu Wanting said angrily: "Who is a classmate with this kind of person?"
The people present helped Xu Wanting to attack Xu Jianchuan. Xu Jianchuan's face was calm, and he greeted the storm from his classmates.
I couldn't stand it anymore, so I took out the money and put it on the table, "I'm classmates with him." ”
Xu Jianchuan looked at me, and his eyes were very complicated. I looked at him and didn't say a word.
Xu Wanting suddenly became angry and said, "That's right, you are classmates." How can we have classmates like you. Other people's food money, I out. ”
Those present gave us a round of applause and drew a line with us. Whether their eyes say that these two boys can't mix well, it's just that, and they are very arrogant!
Miao Hao looked at me and sighed, "Why are you suffering." ”
One person catered to him: "Sister Ting, we still have an event." ”
Others also followed suit and invited Xu Wanting to participate in the next event. Xu Wanting saw that it was difficult to resist the hospitality, and despised us, so she left the private room. The others shouted and left.
Miao Hao walked over and asked, "Let's go together." ”
Xu Jianchuan and I smiled bitterly. Since everything has been said about this, the love of classmates has come to an end.
Miao Hao also felt that his words were a bit redundant, "Let's make an appointment next time." ”
"Next time. Miao Hao and I had no hostility, so I replied.
Miao Hao asked again: "Xiao Xiao, Hongjiao, aren't you going too?"
Hongjiao glanced at me and replied, "I still have something to do, and I won't participate in the rest of the activities." ”
Miao Hao asked again: "Xiao Xiao, do you have something to do?"
Xiao Xiao nodded, "I also have something to do, and I won't participate in the rest of the activities." ”
Miao Hao was not too difficult, and said with a smile: "Okay! If you have something to do, you can get busy first, and I will go to the next activity of my old classmates." ”
Hongjiao asked, "You don't care!"
I laughed and said, "It's fine. ”
Hongjiao said a few words to me and was ready to leave. Seeing this, Xiao Xiao hurriedly said, "Let's go together." ”
Hongjiao looked at Xiao Xiao, looked at me again, and asked, "You don't know Mingzhu or Jun if you have eyes." Why, the old classmate is leaving, and you don't send it away. ”
I didn't speak yet, Xiao Xiao preemptively said: "I broke off with him, so I don't want him to send it." ”
Xiao Xiao said this, and he didn't mean to be angry at all. But, I replied as if I had lost a brain, "Old classmate, goodbye." ”
Xiao Xiao tilted his head to the side, "Goodbye." ”
Hongjiao looked at me, very helpless, "Some people are destined to die alone!"
Xu Jianchuan, who had been silent for a long time, opened his mouth and said, "Old classmate, goodbye." ”
After Hongjiao said goodbye to Xiao Xiao, she left. In Nuoda's private room, Xu Jianchuan and I were left. Xu Jianchuan asked, "Why?"
I said, "Not for any reason. ”
He asked, "Is it worth it for you to do this?"
I said, "What you said, there are some things that you either don't do, and you don't regret doing them, let alone investigate whether it's worth it or not." ”
"I had a falling out with my old classmates, and it was nothing. Why should you?"
"The youth is gone, and the relationship with the old classmates is weak, so what does it matter. I remembered the indifference just now, and said: "No matter how bad the mix is, you can't ask a woman to invite a guest to dinner, and if it spreads, it will be shameless." I'm not used to it, that kind of arrogant demeanor. ”
"My husband, how can you receive the food that comes from you? He added, "Thank you." ”
I was stunned and asked, "Thank me for what." ”
"Because of you, at least it proves that my youth is not pale. He added in a relaxed tone, "Because of you, I'm not fighting alone." ”
"Who called me when I was young, I knew you. ”
"Regret it?"
"It's too late to regret it. ”
"I haven't seen you for a few years, old classmate...", he wanted to say the next words but couldn't.
"Don't want this kind of classmate. "Although we are old classmates, I can't feel the camaraderie of my classmates. In that case, why should I care too much?
In our lives, we have to meet many people. Some of them are passers-by around us, and after a short stay, they disappear without a trace. There are people who reappear to make us grow. Today, although I have lost a lot, I have also gained a lot. And I, too, have grown a lot.
I also understand why some people are only old classmates left in their minds. Why would some people break into your life and become friends. A classmate is a classmate, and you don't have to worry about it if you lose it. How can you let your friend lose.
He didn't expect me to say that, and those eyes looked at me and didn't speak for a long time. Then, his eyes were also a little lost and said, "Yes! How did we end up with old classmates with them? Fortunately, in the years, we were able to get to know you. ”
As I listened to him say this, the familiar boy returned. I said, "Good thing to have you." ”
"I didn't have a lot of fun just now, goodbye old friends, why do you have to change places. ”
"Well, I haven't seen you for a long time, so it's time to get together. ”
Xu Jianchuan and I walked out of the hall, and a waiter came over and said politely, "Mr. Xu, this is your car key." ”
Xu Jianchuan replied, "Thank you." ”
The waiter asked again, "What is Mr. Xu's evaluation of our service?" ”
Xu Jianchuan smiled: "Very good. ”
The waiter said, "Welcome to Mr. Xu." ”
Xu Jianchuan saw that I looked at him with a very blank face, and said with a smile, "I didn't mean to lie to you. ”
"I haven't seen you for a few years, you've become the boss. ”
"What kind of boss, it's just a mess of food. ”
While talking, we walked out of the hotel. I looked at a luxury car in front of me and exclaimed, "I'll go, okay! You're so well mixed and yet dressed so shabby. ”
"Money can buy many things, but it can't buy memories of youth and sincere friendship. You've just graduated from college, and you have a lot of people who can't see through it. I dress like this, and there is a deeper meaning. ”
"What a point. ”
"I'm here to miss my youth, not to show off my success. Besides, I'm not a success. ”
"Modesty. ”
"In the past few years, I have done all kinds of work and endured all kinds of hardships. My life can also be said to be miserable. When I first started my business, it was tough. No one reached out to me. I don't give up because I want to prove to them with success. I'm going to tell them that today you ignore me, and tomorrow I will make you unattainable. Brother, you only know how valuable hard work is when you are poor once. ”
He added, "Work hard not for others, but for yourself." ”
I don't know how he survived those years, but now he mixes well, "We made a bet with our youth, and you won." ”
"No, you won. ”
I looked at him in bewilderment, I was still running for life. I don't have a clear direction in my life. How could it be that I won.
He said, "When I stepped into society, I realized how important learning is. In the past few years, I have not read less. Brother, it is useful to read. It's just that you haven't played the role of the book yet. Also, it's not that the book is useless, it's that you're using it in the wrong direction. ”
I never thought that he would say this a few years later. Reading is useful, why are so many people unsatisfied. Perhaps, it's not that reading books is useless, but that they're used in the wrong direction.
He started the car on one side, and said on the other side: "Your life is more exciting than mine." ”
I laughed at myself and said, "You're going to hurt me." ”
"I'm not here to highlight my successes. I'm here to find my lost self. He drove steadily and said, "If I have a choice, I want to go through the college entrance examination and go to university." Experience a different life. It's a pity that I missed it. ”
And he said, "You don't know how much I envy you." ”
In a trance, the depths of my mind came to me again, when we were young, we bet on our youth and chose different paths and different lives for each other. We have taken different trajectories and different lives. However, we all have beautiful lives.
He did it, and I did. Although I am not as happy now. However, I also lived up to my life and expectations. At the beginning we said that reading was useless. With our own lives, we have proved that it is not useless to read, but to use it in the wrong place.
He pulled over to the square and pulled the brakes. We got out of the car and hiked to the riverside and found a place to sit.
I asked, "Why did you choose to jump in the first place?" ”
"Because I'm young, I'm stupid. ”
When I saw him say these words, there was no hatred in his eyes. At this moment, he has already been relieved.
I said, "Are you young? You have to be stupid a few times before you have the youth of memories." He said, "Who said it wasn't." ”
"Then why are you..."
He said lightly: "I jumped desperately for love, and what I got was not love, but abuse and ridicule." It was also on that day that I was completely awakened. When faced with people who don't like you, you have to give up decisively. Your persistence is funny in the eyes of others. Who said that youth should be a little embarrassed in order to have nostalgic value. You embarrass yourself, to whom. ”
He's right, your embarrassment, show it to whom.
I asked again, "Do you hate him?"
"Before, hate. Now, don't hate anymore. Because of her, she has become her current self. To let others go is to forgive yourself. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "For the rest of my life, it's good that it's not you." ”
