Chapter 13: The Past

The demons are the most terrifying.

...

In a simple room where the wind chimes rang softly, sitting on a mahogany chair, Chu Nange looked at the sleeping woman, took out a cigarette and put it on his mouth, and after thinking about it, he put down the fire engine that was already pulsing.

Reflecting the eyes of a young girl, looking at the girl who reappeared in her life, she still showed a trace of loneliness.

He was more sober than she was.

He knew that after this incident, she would probably leave again, not because of love or not, but because of incompatibility.

Her youth is still there, but what about him has long since passed away in the silent years.

Today, he is not old, but he no longer has the rashness of his youth.

"If I had met you a few years later, would the outcome have been different?"

"If I had accompanied you through your youth a few years earlier, would it have been different?"

Whispering, the lonely man walked out of his room lightly, walked to the side hall with a long bar, soft lighting, computers, mahogany chairs, and purple sofas, and lit the unlit cigarette.

Chu Nange is actually not used to sitting on soft sofas, on the contrary, he is more used to sitting on hardwood, and the two purple sofas are what she wants, so he bought them back.

This side hall was originally very simple, a long bar counter, a long marble table, three computers, an old pendulum clock, and several mahogany chairs.

He, like his single grandfather, liked simplicity and hated trouble, so after taking over the room, he didn't change anything until he met her, and finally changed a little, a little color.

The chandelier in mid-air emitted a soft light, sitting on the purple sofa, Chu Nange slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, and then looked at everything through the smoke.

At this time, he didn't think about anything, it was just a habit, a habit of letting himself go in a soft melody, and then just staring blankly at everything.

When Fang Qing said it, Chu Nange knew it and wanted to change it, but unfortunately, he couldn't change his habits and personality for thirty years.

As she said in her ordinary days, he always looked at the world indifferently, seemed enthusiastic, seemed to laugh, but in fact he always pulled away from his own heart and did not blend into the crowd.

The smoke drifted lightly.

Chu Nange seemed to see the day of his birthday a year ago, and she was wearing a purple dress and roaring at him.

He didn't have a birthday, so he never celebrated.

It was after Fang Qing came that he had a birthday again, so his birthday was very simple, it was to do what he wanted to do at home and do what she wanted to do.

But on his birthday a year ago, maybe he had endured enough, had enough, and the woman who had been drinking for a long time asked him if he loved her after drinking?

Love.

So replied to the man in white.

On that day, the world didn't change, the city didn't change, everything seemed to have changed.

Humming a song, in this cozy house, Fang Qing was making dinner with all hands and feet, it was only her and his dinner, but unfortunately her cooking skills were a little bad in comparison.

But he didn't care, and she was willing, because it was his birthday.

After finally finishing it, Fang Qing put all the dishes on the marble table in the side hall, and then secretly changed the purple skirt that was hidden in the yukata beforehand, which was the skirt that he said looked good and flattered her.

She still remembers the look of amazement in his eyes when he first saw this dress, and remembers that he held her hand under the Buddha that day.

Unfortunately, all this changed after a warm dinner, after two red wines.

Sitting on the purple sofa, Fang Qing looked at Chu Nange, who was even more cold and lonely after drinking, and couldn't help but ask, "Nange, do you love me?"

For this sudden question, Chu Nange was stunned, touched her hand gently, and said, "Love." ”

The wet face under the soft lamp is gentle, but also cold.

"But why don't you look like you've changed?"

"Yes, don't you think I'm a little drunk and already want to carry you back to my room?"

"No, I feel as if you don't have me in your heart, I think I'm worse than Ye Nan, at least you smile happily at her, but you... But you didn't laugh at me. ”

Chu Nange looked at Fang Qing and shook off her hand, feeling the smell of wine she squirted, and smiled softly: "That's because I love you, so I want to show you the best, you're drunk." ”

Rubbing his cheeks, Fang Qing looked at Chu Nange's eyes seriously, and said, "No, I'm not drunk, you say... You said... Why are you always so indifferent, why do I always see loneliness in your eyes, you say... ”

Pushing Chu Nange's hand away, Fang Qing, who had been suppressed for a long time, opened his mouth and spewed out a mouthful of wine, and continued: "You answer me, Chu Nange, why are you with Ye Nan and He Shuhuan, when they are together, I always see the smile in your eyes, and when I am with me, I always see loneliness!"

"Xiaoqing, you're drunk, good... Shall you sleep first?"

"No, I'm not drunk!"

"Ye Nan said that it was because we had been together for a long time, so I could see it, and it was because you loved me that I saw it, but I didn't believe it, I think... I don't think you have me in your heart!"

Looking at Fang Qing who was swaying, Chu Nange hurriedly stood up and hugged her and said, "Xiaoqing, you are really drunk, good... Believe me, you're much more important than them. ”

"But you.... ”

In the sound of talking from time to time, Fang Qing spit out everything in her heart like that night, just like she said, she was not drunk, but a little drunk, and dared to say things that she usually didn't dare to say.

It's a pity that that night, Chu Nange never said anything, just comforted her and coaxed her until she fell asleep.

But after that incident, the loneliness in Chu Nange's eyes became even stronger, Fang Qing could see that he wanted to hide it as much as he could, but whenever it was quiet in the dead of night, she was lying on the bed and looked at the back of the table sitting at the table in the middle of the night, and always saw the taste of loneliness.

She didn't know if it was her own demons or what, she always felt that after that day, he was colder and less like a complete person.

In the ticking pendulum bell, a bell rang and woke up the dazed people.

Waving his hand to fan away the smoke that covered his eyes, Chu Nange took out the phone in his trouser pocket, looked at Ye Nan's two words, and picked up: "Hey, what's wrong with me?" Ye Zi. ”

On the other end of the phone, a heavy female voice came.

"Oh, I just got off the plane, and I heard Xiao Hezi say that you broke up, so I called to ask. ”

Chu Nange chuckled twice and said, "Oh, don't listen to his bullio's nonsense, Xiaoqing is sleeping, didn't you text two days ago that you still have to hide in the barren mountains and mountains to be a savage for a few months?"

"Phew, don't talk about that, the old lady is not doing it now, the requirements are too many and annoying, his grandmother's, I almost beat those dead foreigners to death with a stick. ”

"Yo, Ye Zi has a really big temper, it's good to come back, just have something to trouble you. ”

"What's the matter?"

"Find me a good psychiatrist. ”

There was silence on the other end of the line for a moment before the voice rang again.

"She?"

"Well, Shuhuan told you, right? She's in a very low state, and if she continues like this, I'm afraid I'll be depressed, and you know the most doctors among us. ”

"Well... I'll ask, as far as you have a lot of troubles, since you're okay, then I'll hang up, bye. ”
