Chapter 5: My relationship with Chen Yi

The reason why people are called high-level animals is because people are greedy and expectant, fantasy and doubt, so knowing that I and Chen Yi are not a destined pair, I still have luck, hoping that she will give me an answer that I can walk into heaven in an instant.

"You drive well, don't think too much. "

The expected answer was a little devastating to my mood, but he smiled cheekily: "Actually, there are also disadvantages about you marrying me, I know that your parents don't look down on me, and your colleagues also think that my social level is not enough, and I don't like you to earn more money than me, although you like me a lot, but there seem to be a lot of hidden contradictions between the two of us, so a seemingly simple love can't support too complicated married life at all." "

Look, this is a high-level animal, whether it is hypocrisy, fragility, insignificance, or pitiful, sad and sophistry, it is so easy to come by.

After arriving at Tulip Road, I parked the car at the entrance of the alley, waiting for Chen Yi to go home and change clothes, and after a while, she changed into a suspender skirt and walked out of the alley wearing slippers.

"Jiangqiao, let's not go anywhere, let's just take a stroll on this road. "

I subconsciously touched the gift box with the brooch in my pocket, and felt that I had to go to a high-end restaurant to give this slightly high-end gift, but I didn't expect Chen Yi to just want to visit this tulip road that we have walked countless times from childhood to now.

Today's Tulip Road is not the Tulip Road of 20 years ago, and there are almost no low-rise grocery stores and barber shops in the whole street, and there are no interesting pictures of children in open crotch pants running around telephone poles and plane trees, only some high-rise buildings shape the pride of the big city in a tall posture, and our childhood is submerged in these pride without a trace.

Chen Yi and I didn't have a little burden on this road, I habitually put my arm on her shoulders and walked forward, met the old neighbors in the alley, we said hello together, and stopped together at a stall selling trinkets, and then watched Chen Yi pick and choose left and right, and returned a hairband that sold for 10 yuan to 5 yuan, and finally used it to tie up his hair that was a little disobedient in the wind.

I watched with some fascination as her figure was reflected in the afterglow of the setting sun, wasn't that what I had always dreamed of?

It's a pity, she's too busy, it's a pity, she will never accompany me for a walk on this road as a girlfriend, I heard not long ago that she had a little scandal with a male star in China, they went to a shopping mall in Shanghai together after recording the show, although this is just a scandal, but it is enough to show that the person who can have an affair with Chen Yi must be a celebrity in the circle or a successful person in the shopping mall, and it will never be a wedding planner who only takes more than 6,000 yuan a month.

Chen Yi posed with his hands on his waist in front of me and asked, "Jiang Qiao, is this headband good-looking?" "

"It's a beautiful yarn, like a village girl. "

"you, I didn't bring my wallet, hurry up and give the money. Chen Yi said and stretched out his hand to me.

……

Chen Yi and I sat side by side under a bench from a plane tree on the side of the road, both holding a bowl of small wontons bought from a roadside wonton stand, which was our favorite food when we were in middle school.

Chen Yi said to me with some nostalgia: "Jiangqiao, do you remember? When we were in junior high school, sometimes we would study at school at night, I didn't want to eat the things in the cafeteria, you would climb over the courtyard wall to buy me small wontons, several times because of the queue to delay the time to go back to school, was scolded by the teacher miserably, once jumped off the courtyard wall and sprained my foot...... "

I stopped her from continuing, and then smiled: "Actually, I thank you very much, my kung fu of flying eaves and walking on the wall was practiced at that time, and it really came in handy later, every time I made the wedding scene set, as long as there was a high-altitude work, I took care of it." "

Chen Yi smiled with me, and then picked out the shrimp that I didn't like to eat in the bowl and put it into my bowl, this scene made me a little trance, as if I saw the scene when I was young, she was so pure and moving, and I was like an ignorant and fearless reckless teenager, trying to do things that would make her feel happy...... Unfortunately, we never fell in love.

I suddenly gossiped and asked her, "Have you ever had a boyfriend in your four years of college in Beijing, I know that there are a lot of handsome guys in your Communication University!" "

"Talked about a ...... Later it was divided. "

I felt sad for no reason, although we still kept in touch after she went to college, but she never took the initiative to talk to me about her boyfriend, of course, I didn't have the courage to ask, but today these are in the past, so I asked on a whim.

"Why is it divided? "

Chen Yi's face didn't feel any pain, and he replied, "It's not suitable." "

I was very concerned about one thing, so I chased after him and asked, "How far have you and him developed?" …… Holding hands and kissing mouths, or is it already that ......? "

Chen Yi turned his head and glared at me, but did not answer.

I was suddenly scared to know the answer by her, and hurriedly smiled and said: "I'm just a little curious, besides, what can be kept secret about the relationship between us, if you want to ask me if I'm still a virgin, I will really tell you without reservation." "

"Do you think anyone is as shameless as you? Chen Yi choked me.

I tilted my head and smiled, and the somewhat sensitive topic ended in my laughter, and then we were silent together for a moment in the cool evening breeze.

It was getting dark, the street lamps were lit up with the neon lights of the barber shop opposite, there were many more people walking after dinner on the road, and the business of the vendors gradually improved, as if it was the fall of night that brought life to this tulip road.

Chen Yi finally asked me, "Jiang Qiao, in fact, you asked me out today, or to preside over the wedding, right?" ”

In order to make Chen Yi soft, I hurriedly took out the gift box containing the brooch from my pocket, handed it to Chen Yi and said: "I was a little too self-conscious that day, so buy a gift to show my sincerity of repentance, I hope that after you accept it, we can shake hands and say goodbye." ”

"What a handshake, I didn't quarrel with you, you and I were angry."

I replied with a cold face: "You know that I have a good face, can you save some face?" I put the box in her hand as I spoke, and said, "Hurry up and take the gifts, and then take my things softly, and don't refuse to officiate at the wedding, and my grandmother can't shout in vain." ”

Chen Yi took the box from my hand, but did not open it immediately, put it beside him, and said to me with a very serious face: "Jiang Qiao, in fact, even if you don't come to me today, I will look for your ......"

"Ouch hey...... But I vomited blood...... For so many years, as long as the two of us have made a fuss, but I coaxed you, and today I finally seized a chance for a serf to turn over, but I couldn't hold back!! I patted my chest and said with remorse.

Chen Yi ignored my babblings, and said: "I called your boss Luo Sumei this afternoon, she told me that you quarreled with Lao Jin over this matter, and both of them said very badly, and I also heard that Lao Jin talked a lot in order to win the 3 million wedding and customers, and basically didn't leave room for himself......"

I complained from the bottom of my heart: "He just lost his money and was dizzy!" ”

Chen Yi saw it very thoroughly, she smiled and replied: "But you already understand him in your heart, after all, your company's efficiency this year is very bad, otherwise you wouldn't have let go of your favorite face and gave me a gift again, and called me grandma, how aggrieved!" ”

"Don't mention it!"

After I finished saying this, I looked at Chen Yi out of the corner of my eye, although I was squeezed by her again, but my heart was full of emotion, she actually took the initiative to call Luo Sumei to care about this matter.

After a period of silence, Chen Yi finally made up his mind and said to me: "Jiang Qiao, I will go to explain the situation to the leaders of the station tomorrow, even if I host it for the sake of friendship with friends this time, if I don't receive remuneration, it shouldn't be considered a violation of the rules of the station." ”

Chen Yi's decision surprised me and surprised me, you must know that her usual work is very busy, and her energy is almost insufficient, and presiding over the wedding is not as simple as imagined, it takes a lot of time to memorize the script, and also participate in rehearsals, so the appearance fee of 60,000 yuan is a reasonable remuneration, but now she doesn't plan to ask for it, this kind of sacrifice makes me feel very unhappy, but thinking that this 3 million wedding can pull the company back from the edge of life and death, I finally acquiesced to Chen Yi's idea, Just lowered his head and lit a cigarette for himself, smoking silently......

Chen Yi got up, put the gift I gave her into her pocket, and said to me, "Go back." ”

"Won't you open the gift and take a look?"

"What's so nice about a gift with intentions."

"I put a lot of thought into it."

"I'll see it when I get home later, I have to go to yoga, and I have an appointment with the instructor today."

……

This night, Chen Yi and I were separated at the entrance of the alley, I stood next to the Mercedes-Benz car borrowed by the girl and watched Chen Yi drive away, and suddenly felt some sympathy for her in my heart, she was a child raised by a typical middle-class family in Nanjing, and she learned all kinds of talents regardless of the cold and heat since she was a child, and there was almost no childhood, so she cherished the feelings that we grew up with, but this is not love.

I remembered again that girl asked me to confess to Chen Yi, in fact, whether I confessed or not is not that important at all, because my confession will only be regarded as a prank or a joke by Chen Yi, and if we don't confess, we can take a walk like a couple, so it's good now, at least there won't be any psychological burden when getting along.

When I got home, I didn't immediately open the door into the courtyard, just sat on the steps and looked at the moon above the city, I seemed to have suffered from a disease over the years, every time I was separated from Chen Yi, I would be lonely to the point that I couldn't do it, so since I was 17 years old, I fantasized that Chen Yi would become my wife one day, and then accompany me every night when I was the loneliest, but when I was 19 years old, I stopped this fantasy, because I dropped out of school that year, and Chen Yi was admitted to the most authoritative Communication University of China in the media industry, I thought: some things were already doomed on the night Chen Yi left Nanjing to study in Beijing......

After a while, there was a sudden sound of bells in the alley, I subconsciously looked, only to see that the girl was very poor at riding my bicycle with a crooked curve to this side, she should have come to change back to the car with me, I took advantage of the fact that she had not yet found out, and hurriedly dodged and hid on the other side of the wall, I have always been curious, how did she enter my yard last time, and today I finally got the opportunity to see it
