Chapter 41: The Last Pride and Backbone

"Your world, I've been here. "When I look at these eight words, my first reaction is very familiar. It seems that what it means, I don't know. As the sleepiness grew, I put my phone aside and said, "Cultural people, it's just different."

After Chinese New Year's Eve, my life was peaceful, there was no change, and there were no waves. I still stick to home every day... Job... Home, dotted line life. When I eat in the cafeteria, I will also meet Mao Xiaoyu and Ji Xiaoyu.

Every time they saw me, they would abuse me a thousand times. And I, like my first love, are them. In their words, I'm looking for abuse.

Okay, I'll admit, I'm looking for abuse. Who called me Single Wang?

Xiao Xiao and I have not made substantial progress, nor have we made further breakthroughs. On Chinese New Year's Eve, those things that happened were also turned into dust and scattered with the wind.

In order to find a reason to get closer, I sent a message saying, "In order to repay my old classmates for their help, I invite you to a big dinner." ”

This text message of mine is like sinking into the sea. I waited all morning, but I didn't see him reply to my message. I thought to myself, maybe I didn't see it. However, I was wrong. I saw her like Hongjiao's WeChat circle of friends.

Her move let me know that it wasn't that she didn't see it, but that she didn't want to reply to my message. To her, I'm dispensable!

For some reason, I was not at peace in my heart, and I was even a little angry. I picked up my phone and was ready to send her a message asking why.

When I made up the text message, I deleted it. I said in my heart: "Why, the other party must reply to the message I sent." Even though I asked, the other party replied. I got the answer, and what can I do. It only adds to the troubles. ”

I thought, "Looks like I'm going to be wrong." ”

Finally, my heart was moved once, and it was silently extinguished. It seems that I am not the one she is waiting for. And I'm not supposed to let the feelings creep in.

It's not necessarily a bad thing to end it early. But I'm over before I even start. It seems that God is not pitiful enough to see me, and my fate has not yet arrived.

Time slipped away day after day. When I met her, I just said hello to each other. Then, pass by.

She won't say a word to me, and I won't take the initiative to talk to her. I put what I want to say and what I want to ask.

My relationship with Xiao Xiao has inexplicably dropped to the freezing point. Ji Xiaoyu and Mao Xiaoyu also felt this atmosphere. They always ask me what the situation is. I shook my head instead of shaking my head. I also wanted to know what the situation was, but I couldn't ask.

And just like that, another ten days passed.

I met Xiao Xiao at the gate of the hospital. I stretched out my hand to greet her, and she walked past me without saying anything. I was stuck in place, motionless.

It's a bad feeling to be ignored. I turned around and shouted, "Old classmate." ”

She stopped, didn't turn around, and then took another step.

At this moment, the feeling of being ignored is something I will never forget. I didn't mess with her, why did she do this to me. Once, where did the familiar person go?

I thought I knew her well. It turned out that everything was my self-righteousness. Now, I finally get it. I didn't know her at all.

I plucked up my courage and chased after her, and I stopped in front of her. Instead of thinking about it, it's better to have some fun. I asked, "Old classmate, you hate me like that." ”

She looked at me and asked, "What did you say?" ”

I suppressed the anger that kept pouring out of my heart, and I didn't want to humiliate myself and repeat it.

I asked, "What have I offended you?" ”

She said, "No!"

"What about you?" I swallowed the last few words.

"Old classmate, what do you want to say. ”

Hearing the indifferent tone, I knew that I was far away from her. Although, I don't know why this is happening. But, I won't ask. I thought we were close. I'm also ready to take the first step. Now it seems that I really thought too much.

"Nope. Her cold tone made me understand that everything was superfluous. Without a moment's hesitation, I turned and left the place that was a little depressed.

She and I are old classmates, it's as simple as that. Leaving was my best choice. It is also to maintain the last friendship of our old classmates.

Some people really walk and become strangers. Before, I didn't believe it. Now, I believe it.

She said, "Wait a minute. ”

I stopped, turned my back to her, and didn't look back.

And she said, "Do you remember what you said? ”

I turned around and said in a less enthusiastic tone, "Yes." ”

She said, "Tonight, you invite us to dinner." ”

I wondered what the word 'we' meant by those two words in her mouth.

She did, and I had no reason to refuse. I asked, "Can I ask someone else?"

"That's your power. With that, she turned and left.

When I heard this, it was as if I had been sentenced. I said to myself, "What do you mean by pronouncing my guilt?"

I dialed the phone and invited Mao Xiaoyu and Ji Xiaoyu to have dinner together in the evening. Mao Xiaoyu and Ji Xiaoyu saw that they had a big meal to eat, so they didn't be polite to me.

I found a Chinese restaurant in advance and sent them the location. Mao Xiaoyu and Ji Xiaoyu appeared in my line of sight. I held out my hand to greet them.

Mao Xiaoyu and Ji Xiaoyu waved their hands and walked towards me.

Mao Xiaoyu asked, "What do you think, invite me to a big meal." ”

Ji Xiaoyu knocked him on the head and said, "It's us." ”

"I just want to get together with everyone. "I won't tell what happened on Chinese New Year's Eve.

When Mao Xiaoyu heard my words, he felt weird and asked, "You won't be leaving, are you?"

Ji Xiaoyu also felt that I was going to resign, and asked, "Are you really leaving?"

I said, "I just wanted to treat you to dinner." ”

Ji Xiaoyu asked seriously, "It's really just to invite us to dinner." Are you sure it's not a casual meal. ”

I said, "No." ”

Ji Xiaoyu patted his chest and said, "I'm scared to death." You suddenly said please eat, I thought you were going to quit. Invite us to a casual meal. ”

Mao Xiaoyu said: "I thought you got rid of your singleness and invited you to dinner." ”

I smiled wryly and didn't answer.

I've been single for more than 20 years, and if I am single for a few more years, what does it matter. Isn't my current life what I have been thinking about for a long time?

Ji Xiaoyu asked, "Will Dr. Xiao come?"

"Yes. Even though her tone was well disguised, I could hear what she was saying.

Seeing that my expression did not fluctuate, Mao Xiaoyu asked, "You and Doctor Xiao, what's wrong?" ”

Ji Xiaoyu also said, "You guys are still fine on Chinese New Year's Eve." How, you have become strangers. ”

Mao Xiaoyu asked, "What happened?" I'll help you with your staff. ”

I spread my hands out to show that I didn't know. But, a little bit I'm sure. She and I became familiar strangers.

I glanced at the time, then looked around. Xiao Xiao, has not yet appeared.

Mao Xiaoyu said, "Big brother, I'm so hungry." ”

Ji Xiaoyu glared at him and said, "Bear with it." ”

I made a phone call, but the other party didn't answer. I found Xiao Xiao in the crowd. But, I saw that Xiao Xiao was followed by a person, it was Qiao Yu. The smile that welled up on my cheeks sank, and I felt a little more lost in my heart.

I don't know why I feel this way, and it's so clear.

Xiao Xiao walked over with a smile, "I've made everyone wait for a long time." ”

Mao Xiaoyu said in a dissatisfied tone, "Poor, it's a pity!"

When Mao Xiaoyu said these words, he glanced at me. I know what he meant to tell me, "Missed again." ”

Ji Xiaoyu understood the current situation and said, "My heart hurts!"

Xiao Xiao said, "He is Mao Xiaoyu from obstetrics and gynecology, and she is Ji Xiaoyu from obstetrics and gynecology." He, you know. ”

"Respiratory, Qiao Yu. Qiao Yu stretched out his hand and said, "Hello." ”

Ji Xiaoyu waved his hand, and Mao Xiaoyu looked like he didn't like to answer. I suppressed the unhappiness in my heart and generously stretched out my hand.

I said in my heart: "Xiao Xiao, what do you mean." Is it to declare your victory to me?"

I thought about it, I had nothing to do with her. How could I not be happy.

"Little one, it's delicious here. So, I followed. Qiao Yu asked in a polite tone, "You won't mind, right?"

Mao Xiaoyu said, "The people who treat you don't mind, what do I have to mind." ”

Ji Xiaoyu didn't want the atmosphere to be too embarrassing, so he hurriedly said, "Eat as you like, it's not me who pays." ”

Qiao Yu looked at me with confident eyes and asked, "I'm uninvited, Senior Brother Jiang, I won't mind!"

To be honest, I don't mind. However, as a man, he can't lose his position on this occasion. With a firm look, I pushed back, "Multiple people, multiple pairs of dishes and chopsticks." Eating is lively when there are many people. ”

Ji Xiaoyu said, "You are so generous, invite us to eat in this kind of place." It seems that a few hundred oceans will be lost again. ”

Ji Xiaoyu glanced at me with sympathetic eyes, and seemed to say again, just invite you to dinner, and invite your rival.

Xiao Xiao asked, "The probationary period has just ended, are you rich?"

"Promise to invite the old classmate to a big dinner. How could I break my word. I glanced at Qiao Yu and said, "Senior Brother Qiao, let's order! ”

Qiao Yu knew what I was saying, so he picked up the menu and didn't ask everyone's opinions, so he ordered seven or eight dishes.

After a while, the dish was delivered.

Every dish here is Xiao Xiao's favorite.

"Let's go!" I said.

Qiao Yu picked vegetables for Xiao Xiao on one side, and peeled shrimp for her on the other side.

Xiao Xiao ate the chili pepper and shouted, "It's so spicy." ”

Qiao Yu unscrewed the mineral water cover for her and fed her personally.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Mao Xiaoyu asked: "Both, this is a public place, please pay attention to the image." ”

Ji Xiaoyu saw me burying my head in the food, and said, "Do you want people to live." Be aware that there are also single dogs here. ”

I generously said, "If you're happy." ”

I looked at the scene in front of me, and I instantly understood the meaning of Xiao Xiao's sentence, 'Invite us to dinner'. It turned out that she wanted to borrow this meal and announce to me that she was a famous flower.

I thought to myself, "That's what you're trying to tell me?"

I don't want to be compared, and I don't want to show the sadness in my heart. I pretended to be chic and comfortable, and said in a nonchalant tone, "When you get married, remember to invite me to eat candy." ”

Qiao Yu said, "Don't worry! You're not young, don't be single. What are the conditions, you tell me. I'll help you find one. ”

"It's good right now. These words were buried in my heart. I smiled and said, "What I want is very simple, just a woman." ”

Qiao Yu glanced at Xiao Xiao, patted his chest and showed off: "I'll leave the matter of your order off." ”

"Thank you, brother. "I knew that he was looking at me as a victor. But, I won't admit to being a loser.

I don't know how I felt after the meal. I promised to invite Xiao Xiao to a big dinner, which was also the last intersection between me and her. I can't say anything to show the slightest sadness.

We walked out of the hotel. Qiao Yu said, "I'm going to go to the movies on a date with Xiao Budian, so I'll go first." ”

I held out my hand to send it away.

Ji Xiaoyu said that she had left beforehand.

Mao Xiaoyu and I came to the river and sat on the stone bench.

Mao Xiaoyu asked, "Brother, you can really bear it." ”

"I can't bear it, what can I do. My mood was like bursting the embankment, and I was pouring out a thousand miles, "I'm a man, I can't say I'm a loser!"

"You're a man, you fight with him!"

"Fight, what do I fight with him? I said emotionally, "In front of him, I am a loser, a loser." You can announce to the world that your loved ones are you. But, I'm a man, and I can't declare to the world that I'm a loser. This is my last pride and backbone. ”
