Chapter 13 Confidants
Liu doesn't cry easily, in her opinion, tears represent admitting defeat, and she can't admit defeat.
At the age of sixteen, she could not admit defeat because she was young enough to have a long time to fulfill her dream of providing for her family, and no one could underestimate the strength of a young man who did not admit defeat, so she won. When she is twenty years old, she can not admit defeat, she is young, skilled, able to support herself and her family, she rightly refuses the middle-aged man introduced to her by her second aunt, she has more hope to meet other more and better men. At the age of twenty-four, she still doesn't admit defeat, those men who dislike her family's burden, she looks down on them, she is no longer a simple little girl, she will not dedicate herself for a love word, she wants to find a man who can support each other, she rejects those men who only want her and don't want her family, she thinks she has backbone at that time. When she was twenty-seven years old, her brother graduated from graduate school, had a stable job, and had a good partner, she could finally have time to live for herself, she could finally leave the factory, buy a house of her own, and start a family of her own, but she also knew that she could not afford to lose.
When she turned back at the age of twenty-seven, she found that there was no suitable man behind her, and she had gone too far. Accept fate, go on a blind date for two years, and now he is thirty years old, and there is still no suitable man.
She often thinks that she can live a lifetime by herself, so why should she need a man to decide the rest of her life? However, she often thinks again, Liu is, you have lived alone for almost 30 years, and you can't live alone for the next 30 years. However, her smile no longer has the innocence and arrogance of a sixteen-year-old, the confidence and brightness of a twenty-year-old, and the calm and peace of mind of a twenty-four-year-old. She was just a tired woman, watching her youth flow inexorably in horror, and the dignity she had preserved was lost in those rumors.
Let those people sympathize with herself and look down on herself, she has a deep helplessness. However, it is a fact that she can't get married.
She often persuaded herself alone, Liu is, close her eyes and get married, even if there is more unwillingness, as long as there is a man behind her back, it will not be so unbearable.
She wiped a handful of tears, it was so useless that she lived to be thirty years old, and she couldn't even compare to when she was sixteen. She washed her face in the mirror and washed away her tears, as if she could wash away more than ten years of sadness and unwillingness.
There was no sound in the yard, Liu sat for a while, a little hungry, no matter how sad she was, she still had to eat, life still had to go on, there were people who were more miserable than her, she was not the most unfortunate one in the world. Liu comforted herself and opened the door.
Cheng Lin sat under the eaves, cigarette butts under his feet.
Liu is sudden headache, this person has not left, just outside to listen to her crying? embarrassment welled up in his heart, Liu is face was flushed, hateful: "Why are you still here?"
Cheng Lin smiled, "I'm worried about you! I'm locked in the house alone!"
"You hurry up!" Liu is eyebrows upside down, never so embarrassed. She rarely cries, and even if she does, she doesn't cry in front of anyone anymore, and she rarely talks about hard work, and even if she does, she says it to herself in the mirror.
Cheng Lin stood up and entered the house. Liu was blocking the door and didn't let him in. Cheng Lin smiled: "Sister, why are you sad to hold it alone? We are acquaintances, it's nothing to tell me, I won't laugh at you." ”
Liu gritted his teeth and still refused to let it. Cheng Lin himself was much taller than Liu Shi, he approached Liu is and threatened: "Sister, if you don't get out of the way, I'll hold you away!"
"You dare!" Ryu is voice is sharp. Cheng Lin threw away the cigarette butt in his hand, and his hands reached under Liu is ribs, Liu is busy shrinking his body, Cheng Lin took the opportunity to go in, and smiled at Liu is smile.
Liu is breathless, his chest was constantly rising and falling, and he shouted: "Cheng Lin, you just look at my jokes like this?
Cheng Lin cried when he heard Liu is words, and knew that if he was going to say it badly today, Liu is estimated that he would never talk to him for the rest of his life, so he hurriedly said: "Absolutely not." Sister, when people are sad, they just want to find someone to talk to, and they feel uncomfortable when they are alone, and they have to hold back their illness. You see, you don't eat a lot, but you don't get fat at all, you must have made your own. ”
"I'll make myself, what's the matter with you?Who are you, deserve to talk about it in front of me?" Liu is sharp voice spread far away, she can't care about so much, why should she be wronged every day to cater to others? She's just an ordinary person, she will be tired and angry!
Cheng Lin looked at Liu Shi, knowing that she was just venting her accumulated resentment, and didn't talk much, so he sat on the stool on the side and looked at her.
Liu is face was crimson, panting violently, clenching his teeth, and suddenly turned his head to look at himself in the large floor mirror in the living room, and his breathing slowly calmed down. After a few minutes, she looked back at Cheng Lin coldly and said, "You can go!"
Cheng Lin looked at Liu is intense emotions in a few minutes, and forcibly suppressed them, and said, "Sister, don't suppress yourself too much." ”
"Get out!" Ryu pointed to the courtyard outside.
Cheng Lin got up, walked in front of Liu Shi, and said, "Sister, can you tell me how important Liu Cai is to you?"
"How important is it?" Liu Shi laughed coldly, "From the age of sixteen to twenty-seven, I thought about how to save money for him every day, how important do you say he is to me? My younger brother I know very well, although it is said that Wang Juan took the initiative to pursue him, but his choice to marry Wang Juan shows that he has already thought about living with her for the rest of his life! If you dare to stop it, I can't spare you!" Liu Yes's face was a little distorted, and in the days of being wronged outside, she relied on imagining her brother's smiling face to get by, and at one point, her brother was the pillar of her spirit.
Cheng Lin stretched out his hand and held Liu Yes's hand. Liu Yes's hand was clenched tightly, her nails were deep in the flesh, Cheng Lin broke her fingers one by one, and said, "Sister, let's put it this way, when I was abroad, all I thought about every day was Juanzi's smiling face." ”
"She's married to my brother, she doesn't want you!" Liu said loudly.
Cheng Lin's face turned slightly pale, and he said, "For me, things in the world are changing. Sister, there is nothing that remains the same, even if you love Liu Cai so much, but when you have your own family, his position in your heart will be behind!"
Yanagi's hand clenched and loosened, loosened and clenched.
"Sister, I know your feelings very well, maybe you can be a close friend!" Cheng Lin smiled, "You can tell me anything you want, I won't tell others!"
Liu is to push away the forest, slowly sit on the sofa, staring blankly at the bright sunlight in the yard, those flowers and plants have no sorrow at all, when there is sunshine, they accept the sunshine, and when there is rain and dew, they accept rain and dew, without any troubles.
"Sister, if you really have a heart for that object, you will definitely be able to get married with your ability!" Cheng Lin sat next to Liu Shi, "You are also a selfish person in nature, and you will never let go of what you want, right? Why don't you use those means? No one can refuse you!"
Liu is a little calmer, his brain is also working, but he is a little tired, and said: "Those men are all the same in my opinion, although they have different faces, but their expressions are the same, I don't want any of them!"
"Actually, when I was about to go abroad, Juanzi was very disappointed. At that time, I could see that she liked me, I knew, but I deliberately teased her, I liked to see her flat mouth and coquettish!" Cheng Lin laughed and recalled, a businessman would not reveal his weaknesses and true thoughts to others, but he had the hope of confiding in him today. He was sure that Liu was a trustworthy person, and her stubbornness would not allow her to spread other people's privacy for fun, "I'm a little sure if I can maintain that kind of liking for her after going abroad for a few years, so I haven't said it to her explicitly." In the beginning, Juanzi contacted me very diligently, and I was very happy. However, after meeting a lot of new friends and a lot of new things waiting for me to discover, I felt that Juanzi might not be so important to me. ”
Liu is looking at Cheng Lin's face, his face lines are soft, and his hair is also very soft, people with such hair are actually gentle by nature!
"My attitude broke her heart, and she stopped contacting me after that, and I also have a new girlfriend!" Cheng Lin stroked his hair, "In the United States, it is relatively easy to make a new girlfriend, but in such an unstable and utilitarian environment, most women do not have the purity of Juanzi." I subconsciously compared all my girlfriends with Juanzi, and of course the results were more miserable. ”
"You don't respect women at all!" Liu said coldly, "If you think about a woman in your heart, and then go to find another woman, everyone will feel that something is wrong." ”
"yes! So all my relationships didn't work out. Cheng Lin turned his head to look at Liu is and said, "So, sister, I'm as miserable as you!"
"Don't make love with me, you're all asking for it!" Liu said coldly.
"When I first heard that Juanzi was married, I didn't feel anything. But then I started to have insomnia, and all night thinking was, if I was sure of my feelings, would Juanzi be mine? Of course, I knew that it would not help to think like this, and staying in the United States would only repeat the life of the previous years, so I came back. Juanzi introduced Liu Cai to me, I'm very jealous!" Cheng Lin turned his head to look at Liu is and said, "Do you know why I'm jealous?"
Ryu is laughing and does not answer.
"Juanzi's expression in front of him is completely different from when he faced me!" Cheng Lin took out a cigarette and lit one, Liu is not forbidden to smoke this time. Cheng Lin spit out a puff of smoke rings and said, "She smiled confidently and openly in front of Liu Cai. Being in front of me, constantly looking at my face and laughing with me, made me very uncomfortable. ”
Liu is silent, this Cheng Lin is really thoughtful, such a subtle expression can also cause such a big reaction in his heart, the young Wang Juan who likes this kind of person is really pitiful!
"Sister, you see, everyone has unsatisfactory things, and whether the ending is good or not depends on how hard the individual works. Your blind date was unsuccessful this time, it's not that you're bad, it's that you haven't met the right person yet!" Cheng Lin blinked, "After all, it's still difficult to meet a man like me." ”
Liu is laughed with a "poof", and after laughing, Zhengse said: "Chenglin, thank you for relieving me!"
"So, can we be considered friends?" Cheng Lin took a deep puff of his cigarette.
Liu is tilted his head and said, "It's okay to be friends, but you still don't want to beat Wang Juan!"
"Sister, I can't just give up like this!" Cheng Lin smiled mysteriously, of course he wouldn't tell Liu is that Wang Juan had begun to waver.
"I'm afraid you'll do something regretful again. You didn't agree to be with Wang Juan before because you didn't understand your own thoughts. You have been separated from her for several years, and the current Wang Juan is not the same Wang Juan as before, what you never forget is just the person in your memory!" Liu is getting up, pouring two glasses of water, one cup to Cheng Lin.
Cheng Lin's hand holding the cigarette was on the arm of the sofa, and he didn't move for a long time, the cigarette burned slowly, and a piece of ash remained on the cigarette butt. Cheng Lin's fingers moved slightly, and the ashes scattered, but there was no trace to be found. "Sister, you're right!" Cheng Lin only replied lightly.
The two sat down again, and Liu Shi remembered that his store door was not closed, so he ran out in a panic and counted the clothes carefully, but fortunately there was no loss.
Cheng Lin saw that Liu yes's mood was still a little unstable, so he accompanied her in the store to say something that she didn't have.
After a short time, Wang Ma led Zhang Jiang over to find Liu Shi. Cheng Lin looked at the restrained man behind Wang Ma and smiled. He sees a lot of such a man, works hard, is down-to-earth, and has no heart, it seems that Liu is really looking for someone to accompany her for the rest of her life instead of a lover.
Wang Ma looked at Cheng Lin with some embarrassment, Liu is got up, and said, "Come in, the sun is big outside!"
Zhang Jiang walked in suddenly, Liu is glanced at him, and said, "That Xiao Su, is it okay?"
Zhang Jiang was stunned for a moment and said, "It's okay!"
Cheng Lin smiled: "I just came here in the morning and said that my sister robbed her boyfriend!"
Wang Ma was shocked, looking at Zhang Jiang, Zhang Jiang was uneasy, Liu is smile and said: "Zhang Jiang, if you don't want to get along with me, just tell me directly, there is no need to perfunctory me and drag that Xiao Su at the same time!"
"Liu is ......" Wang Ma cried, her face full of anxiety, "Listen to me, things are not what you think!"
Liu is eyes squinted at Zhang Jiang and said, "Zhang Jiang also has that heart! Otherwise, a little girl who has not experienced the world will not have the courage to come to me." Now that you've decided that you want to be with her, don't drag me in anymore. ”
Wang Ma endured it, looked at Zhang Jiang, and shouted: "You tell me honestly, what's going on? Why is your mother different?"
Zhang Jiang lowered his head and said, "My mother thinks Xiao Su is not good, and she doesn't agree with me and her, and we have to die or live at home all day long." I have no choice but to let Xiao Su stay and ......"
Wang's mother was so angry that she couldn't wait to stretch out her hand and slap it, and said, "I've been talking about the media for so many years, and I've really been calculated by your mother." Even if I don't have long eyes, don't come to me again in the future!" After speaking, he looked at Liu is apologetically, and Liu is smiled: "It's okay, just treat it as if it didn't happen!"
Wang's mother dragged Zhang Jiang out of the door and walked towards Zhang's house angrily, it seemed that there was inevitably a quarrel.
"You should go, right?" Ryu asked with a smile.
Cheng Lin said: "Are you okay? That man is not very good, far worse than me! When I think of me and him as blind dates with you, you choose him or not, I will feel defeated." ”
"Do you care about that?
"Okay, I'll come back to see you when I have time!" Cheng Lin took his things and walked out of town.
Liu is looking at Cheng Lin's back and thinks that this person is not bad, at least he can be a bosom friend.
