34. Parting

Lin Jiahe finished rubbing Wu Jue's feet, and carefully put on the embroidered shoes for her. Flat-soled cloth shoes, stepping on the bluestone road, there is no sound, but step by step.

The injured foot still has some faint pain, but for Wu Jue, it is not important at all.

Her heart was as far open as the sky in an instant, and the pain that life had given her became insignificant from then on.

At least, that's what Wu Jue felt at that moment.

After returning from the urban village, Lin Jiahe clearly felt the change in Wu Jue. He couldn't say what had changed, just a very subtle feeling, as if the woman had become more real, rather than a bubble that would be crushed at any moment.

Wu Jue began to pack up his things without a trace. She only now realizes that in the past six months, she has very few personal belongings in this apartment, and a duffel bag can fill them all, as if to indicate that she will leave at any time.

When she was packing her belongings, she put the embroidered shoes she had worn back from the urban village into her bag. This is the only thing she is going to take away, something related to Lin Jiahe, not for anything else, just because these shoes have given her the most intimate warmth.

Once the resentment in her heart disappeared, she realized that what happened in this apartment was not so sinful and disgusting.

Who's to say she hasn't been warmed here?

Then, she called Zhou Xing to have dinner with her on the weekend, and she desperately needed to share this state of mind with others. And the only person who shared it with Zhou Xing, because only he understood her twists and turns in the past two years and understood everything she had done. He was also the one who most wanted to see her out of this quagmire.

The restaurant is located on the side of the road, and through the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see the bustling people outside in the evening.

The two chatted about some topics idly, and it wasn't until they finished eating that Wu Jue finally said the right thing: "I decided to give up." ”

"What?" Obviously, Zhou Xing didn't react.

"Give up revenge on Lin Jiahe." Wu Jue said more clearly, "I don't want to stay in the prosperous world anymore, and I don't want to stay by Lin Jiahe's side anymore." This kind of masked life really makes me unhappy. ”

Zhou Xing was stunned: "So, you decided to start your life again?" ”

"Hmm." Wu Jue nodded, "As you said, I can't trap myself in the past, I'm still young, and there are so many years to live in the future." I really shouldn't waste my time on revenge. ”

"Yes, you're still young and you should have a new life." Zhou Xing breathed a heavy sigh of relief, "At that time, I knew that when you were with Lin Jiahe for revenge, I was really heartbroken. How could the Wu Jue I know be like this? Now that you've figured it out, I'm relieved. ”

After saying that, there was a hint of wetness in his eyes.

Wu Jue smiled: "I'm also relieved." ”

After a while, Zhou Xing seemed to think of something and asked, "Wu Jue, can you tell me why I suddenly figured it out?" ”

Wu Jue hesitated for a few seconds before he spoke: "I just found that the enemy I always thought was actually not so hateful, and even in many ways, he was still a very good person." I can't destroy such a person with my own hands, and I don't want to fight him to the death. ”

"You mean Lin Jiahe." Zhou Xing seemed a little incredible, and seemed to know it in his heart, "Are you in love with him?" ”

Wu Jue shook his head: "It is undeniable that he is a very attractive man." I can't deny that he may have made me feel tempted for a moment, but not enough to fall in love with. It's just that he made me suddenly realize that there are many beautiful things in life waiting for me to pursue, instead of being cocooned. And, if it continues, I'm not sure if I'll be completely attracted to him, you know, I shouldn't be with someone like this even if it weren't for Shen Tong. That's all I have to give up. ”

Zhou Xing smiled calmly at her, and sighed again: "Wu Jue, sometimes I feel that you are really a little too rational. But fortunately, you have this rationality, if you really tell me that you let Lin Jiahe go because you are in love with him and you want to be with him. I must not know what to do? ”

"Maybe." Wu Jue responded a little helplessly.

"I have one more question to know."

"You say."

"Lin Jiahe, he's in love with you, isn't he?"

"Perhaps." Wu Jue was stunned for a moment before answering, and then looked out of the floor-to-ceiling window, a young couple passing by, she was a little stunned for some reason, "However, this is no longer important to me, the person who is about to leave." ”

"What are your plans for the future?"

"Resign first, take a good rest for a while, and then look for a job."

"Do you want to come to Wei Hong to help me? I can't even hold on. ”

"How so?" Wu Jue smiled, "The Shen Yibei I know is a Xiaoqiang who can't be beaten." ”

"I really don't know if it was right or wrong to agree to go back to the Bai family in the first place? Except for the old man, my two uncles and cousins each regarded me as a flood beast, and they wished that I would be hit by a car and killed when I went out. I can't believe that those people are so-called relatives. And the old man just regarded me as a successor. Sometimes, I really miss those old days. ”

"Yes, we used to be so comfortable, we didn't have to calculate and defend, and we were still happy without money."

"Do you remember, you and Shen Tong always followed me as my followers in the past. I went to work, and the two of you followed me to work, and you also pooled the money from your part-time job to pay me tuition fees. ”

"I used to think you were very good, working part-time at Starbucks every night and tutoring on weekends, but you could still get a first-class scholarship in the exam, and you played basketball and badminton very well. Later I learned that you only sleep 5 hours a day, and you are simply superhuman. ”

"You know, I really couldn't help it, my dad died in my freshman year. My family owes a lot of debts, and my mother's salary is not enough to pay off the debt every month, so where can I still study. I just had to fight a little harder. Fortunately, Shen Tong's family has always helped me. Shen Tong and you also helped me a lot. For me, Shen Tong is not just my cousin, he is my own brother. So, I can't forgive Lin Jiahe like you. And now in Wei Hong's situation, I must also regard Lin Jiahe as an enemy. ”

"I know." After a pause, Wu Jue continued, "Brother Yibei, will you be sad if I say forgiveness so lightly?" ”

"No, no, no." Zhou Yinan hurriedly shook his hand, "I will definitely not be sad." You can figure it out, and I'm glad you can walk forward and look ahead. In fact, you insisted on entering Lin Zheng before, and I was sad. Wu Jue, I hope you are happy, and never get involved in these dark entanglements. I don't want you to be like me. ”

"Thank you, Brother Yibei." Wu Jue smiled and put his hand on Zhou Yinan's palm, "I will definitely be happy again." You also have to live well. ”

Wu Jue thought for a long time, and finally said about the person who had not been mentioned in this conversation: "Brother Yibei, Xiaobei's matter has been so long, you should find someone well." ”

"Xiaobei?" A blank expression appeared on Zhou Xing's face, but if you pay a little attention, you will find the sadness in the blankness, "If you don't say it, I'm about to forget the name jì." I really haven't thought about it in a long time. ”

Because I don't dare to think about it.

"Actually......" Wu Jue hesitated for a long time, "I saw her a long time ago, and she seems to be doing well." ”

"Hmm. It should be good. Zhou Yinan smiled bitterly, "When I first returned to China, I saw her once. Maybe it's because life is too comfortable, she's gained some weight, and she's very happy with her husband. ”

"I thought that after all these years, you were still alone because you couldn't let go of Xiaobei."

Zhou Xing smiled a little: "There is no one in this world who is indispensable, she left me back then, I actually didn't feel too sad, she just had a good life." I'm single not because I can't forget anyone, it's just that I haven't met a woman who can put an end to my singleness. ”

Wu Jue looked at his already relaxed face, and suddenly asked as if he thought of something, "Are your requirements too high?" It is said that you are also the minister under the skirt of Qin Yuanzhi's beautiful granddaughter. Why, even such a beautiful woman can't get into your eyes? ”

"You said I was someone else's minister. It's not that she can't get into my eyes, it's that I can't get into her eyes. The kind of woman who has been held up in the sky since childhood, where can I afford it. Being a confidante makes me satisfied. ”

"Cut." Wu Jue smiled, "In vain, Cheng Yuzheng is still angry with you." ”

"Come on, let's not talk about those people, let's talk about our own good past."

This evening, they really talked about a lot of common past, even after so long, some of the original details can be remembered clearly, even if the person they each want to share the most is no longer around, but it can't stop the two people who have gone through pain to reminisce about those joys again.

So much so that they didn't notice that outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, a black car had been parked on the side of the road at dusk for a long time
