His hand subconsciously touched the pocket of his clothes, Ji Chen took out the cigarette case from it, opened it and saw that it was empty.

Ji Chen sighed, pinched the cigarette case into a ball and put it in his pocket. Then I looked around, found a supermarket, and bought two packs of cigarettes.

When Ji Chen was about to pay, he accidentally caught a glimpse of a BMW parked in front of the hotel opposite the supermarket, and then a young man in a suit and leather shoes got out of the driver's seat. The man got out of the car and walked to the back door, opened the door, and a woman came out of it. After the woman got out of the car, she sweetly grabbed the man's arm and wrist, and the two walked straight into the hotel.

Ji Chen couldn't help but squeeze the cigarette in his hand.

"Hey, do you want to buy it, don't mess around if you don't buy it!" shouted to the checkout clerk.

Ji Chen glanced back at her, did not speak, and silently opened the mobile phone payment code.

The next day.

"I probably won't be able to marry you. Ji Chen's girlfriend bit the straw of milk tea with her teeth and suddenly said to him.

And Ji Chen's energy was all put on the notebook in front of the desk, and he replied while tapping the keyboard quickly: "What?"

She turned around and grabbed Ji Chen's arm and said to him fiercely, "Every time I talk to you, can you be serious?

Ji Chen saw that her expression was a little angry, so he scratched his head and said with a smile: "Aren't I also in a hurry to catch up with the manuscript, by the way, what did you just say?"

"Let's break up. She said, turning her head.

"Why, what's wrong!" Ji Chen was very puzzled, thinking that she was losing her temper again.

"I'm not kidding, this time it's serious. She said with a very serious expression.

"And tell me why?"

"Reason? Do you need a reason to break up with you? Do you have a deposit? Do you have a car? Do you have a house? Isn't there a lot of reasons to just think about it?"

"That's all, but I've worked hard? I stay up late every day, writing all the time, isn't it for you? I don't have any money now, but I'll work hard to make money, you have to give me a little time!" Ji Chen retorted hard.

She got up from her seat, raised her voice and said, "Ji Chen, I've been playing with you for five years, five years! Isn't time enough? But have you made me see hope in you? How much money can you make by writing these bad articles? Since you are not self-motivated, then let's get together and disperse." ”

Ji Chen swallowed his saliva and said as if talking to himself: "Five-year relationship, is it really okay to forget it?"

She took a deep breath, her attitude was a little gentler, and said to Ji Chen: "Ji Chen, I admire you very much, a dream can last for five or six years. But you have to recognize the reality, you are not a writer, and your interests and hobbies cannot be eaten. From being with you to now, it's been five years, I've been eating instant noodles with you for five years, and I've been living in a snail's house for five years. Indeed, I have been very happy with you in the past five years, but sooner or later the relationship will run out, and when the relationship is gone, I really can't live with you in this life. ”

"Is the relationship between us gone, or are you looking for a new love. Ji Chen said sarcastically.

"You, don't talk nonsense!" her face suddenly turned red.

"I thought you were just confused, so as long as I pretended not to know, I could act as if nothing had happened. But now that I think about it, I'm so fucking cheap!" Ji Chen said self-deprecatingly.

After listening to Ji Chen's words, she was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay, since you know everything, then there is nothing to say, he is the son of the chairman of Yixing Company, and you, a wreck, are naturally incomparable." So ......"

Ji Chen made a gesture to stop, then put his hands on the keyboard again, tapped quickly, and replied: "Even if you are determined to break up, you won't belittle me so much." ”

She sighed, didn't say anything more, picked up her bag and left, leaving only one sentence: "I hope you do it yourself." ”

After she left, Ji Chen stopped tapping his hands on the keyboard and looked in the direction she left, where only an indifferent back remained.

Ji Chen wiped his moist eyes with his cuffs, and then looked at the computer in front of him and was stunned, for a long time, he hammered his fist on the keyboard, attracting the attention of the customers in the entire open-air café.

Ji Chen sat alone on the chair and muttered to himself, "Isn't it true that a wreck doesn't deserve love? If so, who wants to be a wreck for the rest of his life?"

When Ji Chen returned to the rental house alone, she had already taken the lead in moving things out. There were a lot less things in the whole room, and only Ji Chen was left. The only good thing is that the place has become bigger and more free, Ji Chen comforted himself.

After his girlfriend left, Ji Chen paused the update of his writing, and in addition to eating, drinking, and Lazar, he sat at the table all day and smoked one cigarette after another. The smoke he exhaled filled the small room, as if the smoke was thick enough that he wouldn't feel lonely

On the dusty table there is an ashtray full of cigarette butts, next to the ashtray is a physical examination report, the name column says Ji Chen, and the result column says liver cancer, the time is half a year ago. There is also a ring on the medical examination report.

Ji Chen looked at the report sheet and the ring on the table, and there were thousands of emotions in his heart, for half a year, it was these two things that made Ji Chen deeply tormented. He always longed for the day when he could put the ring on her hand with his own hands, and every day he thought about how to part with her skillfully and decently.

Ji Chen has been struggling with the contradiction between big love and small love, but he has never been willing to choose between it, if he doesn't choose, at least he can have her temporarily, he loves her so much.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that today, everything was over, and he no longer had to try to break up with her, and he was no longer qualified to look forward to his future with her.

With a wry smile, Ji Chen tore up the physical examination report on the table, and then walked to the trash can with the ring in both hands.

"Let the past go with the wind. Ji Chen said to himself.

With that, he tossed it lightly, and the ring flew into the trash can with precision.

More than a week later, a mobile phone rang suddenly, and Ji Chen rummaged for a long time before finding the mobile phone under the bed.

picked up the phone and looked at it, it turned out to be his best friend Zhang Yue calling, and when the phone was connected, the familiar cynical voice came from the other end: "Why did it take so long to answer?"

"There's a fart. Ji Chen said impatiently.

"Oh, that's right, I've heard about you, buddy, it's not a big deal, isn't it just a green hat! I called, just thinking that our brothers had not been together for a long time, and I wanted to ask you to come over to cool off and take a break by the way. ”

Ji Chen frowned, and said angrily: "I don't have that much spare time, I want to play with myself and find two girls to play." ”

Zhang Yue didn't think about it and replied: "Hey, I really found two beauties, and I'm going to call Sun Jian too." If you don't come, I'll pick you up at the airport, if you don't, then I'll take a plane to pick you up in person. ”

Ji Chen originally insisted on refusing, but after thinking about it, it is not a way to be decadent like this, it is better to simply go out and change her mind, maybe you can better get rid of her influence on herself.

But Ji Chen felt that he suddenly agreed, making it look like he only went when he heard about the beauty, and he would definitely be ridiculed by Zhang Yue when the time came.

So Ji Chen said again: "It's still not good, you can still have a lot of fun without me." ”

The other end of the phone said: "No, this bureau is mainly for you, if you don't come, what's the fun!"

Hearing Zhang Yue say this, Ji Chen took advantage of the situation and replied: "Since this is the case, then I'll go to your place, but say it in advance, I'm just for distraction, don't give me all the bells and whistles." ”

Zhang Yue replied with a smile: "Haha, no problem, you take the plane by yourself, tell me in advance before you get on the plane." ”

Zhang Yue and Sun Jian are both Ji Chen's college classmates, Zhang Yue's father is engaged in real estate, so he is a veritable rich second generation, who has nothing to do on weekdays, is idle, and drives a sports car to clubbing everywhere to pick up girls, but he is very righteous, Ji Chen and he have been inseparable for four years in college, so he has become a dead friend.

Sun Jian grew up in the countryside since he was a child, his body is very rough, and his personality is also very stable, they live in a dormitory in college, Ji Chen and Zhang Yue often cause trouble outside, which troubles him a lot, so he and Ji Chen have a very strong relationship.

Zhang Yue's hometown lives in Laoshan District, Qingdao, Shandong, which is a five-A scenic tourist area, and the most important thing is by the sea, which is why he asked Ji Chen to play with him.

Ji Chen got on the plane at six o'clock in the morning, it took more than three hours from Shijiazhuang to Qingdao, and it was already more than nine o'clock when he left the airport.

Sun Jian happened to work in Shandong after graduation, so he arrived a while before Ji Chen, and both of them had been waiting for him at the airport gate for a long time.
