The rain is like countless transparent threads, trying to touch the world of the world, while the light is like a wild horse running in the opposite direction, which makes the qiē I see in my sight both real and illusory, the real is the mood of people, and the illusory is the buildings shrouded in water vapor.

I pulled out one of my favorite red nanking cigarettes from my pocket and lit it like lighting the night. As a result, many of my ideas became accessible in an instant. I finally said to Yu Xin, who had been waiting: "We may have all heard a pop song called "Love Transfer", but is it really that easy to transfer love from one person to another in reality? ”

Yu Xin has always been delicate, although I didn't say much, she still saw some clues, and she asked me again: "Can't you still forget Chen Yi?" …… Did something happen between you again? ”

I nodded and replied: "Just over an hour ago, Chen Yi found me with her household registration book, and she hoped to use marriage to give us a result of our relationship of more than 20 years...... I almost took it from her. ”

Yu Xin seemed to be able to stand in my position to feel my mood at that time, so her expression was full of complexity, and she said to me after a long time: "Actually, it is really not difficult to transition love from one person to another, but because you and Chen Yi have been this relationship for too long, so even just hearing the name Chen Yi will make you feel entangled, but you finally chose to give up...... Doesn't this just prove how important Xiao Ai occupies in your heart now! ……”

After a slight pause, Yu Xin said again: "Actually, your position in Xiao Ai's heart is not important, she also has a senior brother Yuan Zhen who has been with her for so many years. Senior Brother Yuan Zhen has paid so much for her, not to mention that she admires Senior Brother Yuan Zhen's talent in music even more, it is impossible to say that she doesn't like it at all, but you are more suitable for her requirements for the other half than Senior Brother Yuan Zhen...... Presumably, Chen Yi is the same for you! Therefore, there is no unbreakable love in this world, some are just suitable, and love is more like a temptation in my opinion, so there are so many people who fall out of love every day, and then start another relationship. But can you therefore say that they and their ex are not in love? …… Actually, there must be, but love is one thing, and whether we can be together for a long time is another thing. ”

I looked at Yu Xin with a cigarette, although she said a lot with feelings, but the truth is very simple, and the paragraph between me and Chen Yi, put in this simple truth, is actually love, but it is not suitable. It's not a question of which of us is good or who is bad, it's just the result of fate.

……

Saying goodbye to Yu Xin, I took the last train passing by Tulip Road to the Confucius Temple, no matter what the weather here is also a prosperous scene, and Xiao Ai used to live in this vicinity, and an ordinary commercial house here should be able to be divided into the middle class, not to mention that she lives in a townhouse.

I haven't been here many times, but the few times it's raining, just like my small and messy mood. After walking for a while, I stopped at a small bridge, and then dropped my umbrella, and the dense light rain like cow's hair fell on me painlessly, as if to wash away all the joys and sorrows in my love.

Looking at the undulating boats floating in the river, I began to think calmly about something. If Xiao Ai hadn't experienced such a big change, would we be on the same road again?

It's hard to say, but life is really like a pusher, bringing us closer to each other when we shouldn't have intersected, and even now even our careers are tied together, we have given each other our tomorrow, without too much melancholy and panic, only full of expectations.

Based on these, I gradually felt that she was the woman I was destined to be, and I couldn't use a marriage to abandon her alone in Nanjing.

I shouldn't have hesitated anymore because a lot of the pain was caused by my lack of decisiveness. If I had confirmed my relationship with Xiao Ai before she returned to Nanjing from Taipei, perhaps there would not have been Chen Yi's disappointment and pain today.

After a moment of silence, I looked up at the spectacular neon-lit mall across from me, and I took another step, stepping on the wet road to get closer to it.

……

The mall seems to be a microcosm of society, where the poor do the cleaning and security work, the working-class people systematically buy some of their favorite things, and the wealthy people do not have any burden to see the price of various goods as a bunch of meaningless numbers, and then go crazy to sweep the goods.

I walked through the crowd, looking left and right, and finally came across a few counters on the first floor near the safe passage.

"Sir, are you going to buy jewelry?"

I nodded, glanced at the dazzling array of jewels on the counter, and replied, "I want to buy a ring, do you support customization here?" I want to carve something on it. ”

The waiter replied with a very professional smile: "Yes, you can pick a good style first, and then pay a deposit, when you can get it, it depends on the difficulty of your customized content, if you just engrave a few words, you can generally get it the next day...... By the way, do you want to give it to your girlfriend, I can recommend you one. ”

I nodded.

The waiter took out a platinum ring from the counter and said to me: "This is our brand's fairytale that just came out this year, and this one in my hand represents the love of you for a lifetime, which is very suitable for young people." ”

I just glanced at it, didn't take it from her hand, and then fixed my eyes on a ring made of gold, and then said to the waiter, "Please show me this." ”

"Sir, this is made of gold, it may not be suitable for young people, I personally recommend platinum, especially this one, the meaning is really good."

I didn't pay attention to it, but I kept looking at the gold ring engraved with many lines, a bit like the shape of a tree's annual rings, and I thought of the one that Yang Jin wore on his hand many years ago, which was somewhat similar to this one, so he said to the waiter: "I don't alike gold, you take it out and show it to me." ”

The waiter finally took the ring out of the counter and handed it to me. I looked at it and said to her, "I want this ring." ”

"Well, sir, what do you need to carve on it?"

"Just engrave the four words "the annual rings of love."

The waiter subconsciously looked at the lines on the ring, then smiled and said to me: "This pattern really looks like the annual rings of a tree, I kind of understand why you must buy this ring, I feel very good." ”

I responded with a smile in return, and from the bottom of my heart, I didn't really resent gold. Because it is used as jewelry, it just represents the texture of an era, just like the ** decade, diamond platinum was not popular, and rings made of gold proved so many honest and simple love and marriages.

So I wanted to use this ring, which I named "The Rings of Love", to woo Xiao Ai......

If she is willing to skip the courtship step and directly advance to marriage, then this is a marriage proposal ring, and this world, especially love, is not complicated, it is nothing more than a process of letting go and choosing again.

After all, there are only a few who will die and die alone.

……

When I got back to the hospital, I went through a routine check-up with the doctor, and the results showed normal, but I still needed to stay here for one night. Xiao Ai sent me a message before I went to bed, telling me that she would be boarding the plane soon and that she would be back in Nanjing tomorrow morning.

I told her that I had no problem and that there was no need to affect the performance for me, but she never replied to the message, and she must have boarded the plane back to China.

The moment I put my phone on the cabinet, my world was completely quiet, I didn't dwell on the past with Chen Yi, nor did I look forward to the future with Xiao Ai, the whole person was like a piece of wood lying down until Jin Qiu stood by my side.

She knocked on the edge of the bed before I turned my head to look at her, and after looking at me for a while, she asked, "Did you get beaten again?" ”

I replied unhappily, "Why gloat! ”

Jin Qiu didn't take my feelings too seriously, and didn't say a word of comfort, just asked me if I wanted to drink water. I nodded, and she went to the hospital to get a bottle of boiling water, and then made me a cup of soothing tea with the tea she had brought herself.

While I was drinking tea, Jin Qiu sat down on an empty bed next door, and then said to me, "In such a large brain ward, you alone have a brain problem. Not to mention, it's really a bit of a VIP feeling! ”

"Is it interesting that you're hurting me like this?"

Jin Qiu took off his shoes, then half-leaned on the bed, crossed his arms on his chest, closed his eyes and said to me: "I don't hurt you, but I pity you for living in this way." ”

"Do you think my current lifestyle is problematic?"

"Yes, I've always felt that you have too many concerns and are not chic enough...... However, have you ever thought that those people you desperately want to please may be sharpening knives to give you a knife behind their backs...... Tell me, there are so many people in the alley, why do those neighbors point the finger at you? …… It must have been something you said to Zhao Mu. ”

Although I don't want to admit it, before the neighbors didn't make trouble with me, I only carried the matter exposed by the TV station in front of Zhao Mu for Chen Yi, so he could only relay this information to the neighbors, and then caused such a big outrage. However, I can't hate him because of this, and I can't feel that he stabbed me in the back, after all, it was Chen Yi's behavior that really moved everyone's interests, since I have the heart to take the bag for Chen Yi, it will be today's result sooner or later.

After a period of silence, I replied to Jin Qiu: "I did this thing originally, and since I did it, I dare to admit it." ”

"Come less, don't be a tough guy in front of me, except for those residents who have been instigated, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the project is exposed, it must be from Chen Yi's hands. Because in this alley, she is the only one who has such an interpersonal relationship in the media industry...... Zhao Mu is such a shrewd person, he can't see it, but why did he still instigate the neighbors to target you instead of Chen Yi? The cause and effect relationship in this, you had better think about it carefully! ”

I really didn't want to think about this matter too complicated, so I didn't respond to Jin Qiu's words head-on, but just thought about some things in my heart, and thought about this thing very far away in a trance.

I remember that not long ago, my grandmother once told me that if Yang Jin would still appear in my life, it must be on the day I got married, which seemed like an old prophecy, but it pulled the tightest string in my heart.

Jin Qiu took advantage of this time to close his eyes for a while, then opened his eyes, looked at me a little puzzled, and asked, "What are you thinking?" ”

I didn't hide it from Jin Qiu, so I turned to look at her sideways, and suddenly asked her, "Jin Qiu, do you remember my mother's appearance?" ”

Jin Qiu seemed to be confused by my jumping thoughts, and it took a full five seconds before replying, "...... There's nothing left to remember, she's been gone for too long...... Why are you asking me that all of a sudden? ”

I replied with some frustration: "It's normal that you can't remember, in fact, since Jiang Jiyou threw away all her photos, I have gradually forgotten what she looks like...... But a while ago I went to see my grandmother in a nursing home. My grandmother suddenly told me that if it was my wedding day, she might come back to see me...... It sounds like a joke, but I'm willing to believe it. Because even if I hate her again, I hope that she will live well in the years she has been away, but these can only be known when I meet her. ”

This time, Jin Qiu was silent for a longer time, she didn't say anything about my mood, just asked me in a low voice, "Are you going to marry anyone?" ”

Faced with Jin Qiu's question, I didn't dodge like before, I said to her, "...... Just now, I went to the jewelry store and ordered a ring that I was going to give to Xiao Ai. If she's willing to marry me at this time, then this ring is my engagement ring...... I think that although we haven't known each other for as long as decades, we are the ones we can get married, and I don't want to pursue those feelings of falling in love anymore, so I just go straight to marriage...... Provided, that's what she thinks too. ”

"Was it the demolition that gave you the confidence to get married? I heard that if your small courtyard is demolished, you can get at least three houses of more than 100 square meters. ”

"I don't think so, but you can think so."

Jin Qiu nodded, and then replied, "Then I wish you the married life you want." I think that since Grandma said something like that to you, Auntie will definitely show up at your wedding, because after all these years, she is likely to be paying attention to you in another way......"

I interrupted Jin Qiu with a sneer: "Forget it, if she really paid attention to me, she should have been responsible for my life when Zhao Chu and Zhao Mu and his parents died in the Jiang disaster...... Sue you, I hated her from that time, and I hated Jiang Jiyou even more! ”

"Perhaps, she has her own last resort?"

"All her hardships only show that she is an extremely selfish person......"

Jin Qiu looked at me a little tiredly, and after a long time she said, "Forget it, don't talk about these unhappy ...... If you want something to eat, I'll go down and buy it for you...... I'm not going to leave tonight, I'm going to stay here and take care of you. ”
