I returned to my residence at about 11 o'clock, and walked into the small courtyard, Xiao Ai was sitting next to the stone table, Zhao Mu stood beside her helplessly, and it seemed that she had not persuaded her to dissipate her anger before, but it was completely useless, because I had already seen in her eyes the anger that was about to tear me apart every minute.

I stood cheekily in front of her, then squeezed out a smile and asked, "It's almost 11 o'clock soon, aren't you going back to school?" ”

Xiao Ai got up and left the stone bench, without saying a word, she reached out and picked up a pot of flowers, and slammed it to the ground, and immediately fell to pieces, but she still didn't understand her hatred, and still glared at me with a hateful gaze.

I knew that I was wrong, so I restrained my temper and said, "Can you not be so bad?" …… I didn't mean not to go, it's not like I have a temporary customer to visit. ”

Xiao Ai raised his hand and threw a pot of flesh sprouts to the ground.

I'm still restrained......

She finally said to me coldly: "Jiang Qiao, from now on, as long as you tell me a lie, I will throw you a pot of flowers until you can stand in front of me honestly." ”

"When did I lie to you, didn't I let Zhao Mu tell you before, I can't go if I have something? …… I'm telling you, you'd better not mess with me, these flowers are my life. ”

"Then you're going to die!" Xiao Ai ignored my warning, reached out and slammed another pot of moon season on the ground.

I finally got angry at her unreasonableness, grabbed her by the neckline, and pressed her down on the stone table, so as to control her and prevent her from acting willfully, and then said angrily: "I have never seen you so bold, do you dare to stab me to death if you are given a knife now?" ”

"Jiang Qiao, you scumbag, you dare to hit me......" She scolded while angrily reaching out and grabbing my neck, and suddenly there was a cold feeling in my neck, and then it turned into a pain in my heart.

I let go of her and touched the scratched place with my hand, and Zhao Mu hurriedly blocked between us, not letting our conflict continue to escalate, but I can't say it, I really want to have a good chat with her, whether I'm beating her or is she destroying my **.

Xiao Ai gasped heavily, choked up and asked me, "Jiang Qiao, do you still have a little conscience?" Think about what I did to you before? If I told you that day that I couldn't go to your client's wedding to play the piano at my school, how would you feel? What are you going to do with your company...... Also, even if you're visiting a client, tell me: what kind of client needs you to visit until 11 o'clock before you come back? …… You're lying to me and playing tricks on me! …… I regret that I met you beast! ”

I tried to defend myself, but suddenly I had nothing to say, and I seemed to have really hurt this girl, although I didn't mean to.

Xiao Ai pushed Zhao Mu away, and then ran out of the hospital, I looked at her back at a loss, Zhao Mu beside me hurriedly pushed me, and reminded: "Brother Qiao, go chase her, it's so late, how unsafe it is for her to go back to school alone, you can explain it to her again......"

I smiled wryly and replied, "She's angry at the moment, I'll send her, won't it add more trouble to her!" Catch up with her and send her back to school, and I'll clean up these broken pots. ”

Zhao Mu sighed lightly, and then followed Xiao Ai's footsteps and ran out of the courtyard gate......

……

I found a dustpan and a broom, cleaned up the fragments of the pot, and then temporarily kept the flowers in the flower pond, and when I had done this, I sat down on the steps outside the courtyard......

When the Nanjing cigarette that has not changed is lit between my fingers, the familiar loneliness also finds me in this quiet night, and then makes me reflect in the loneliness, did I really do a very excessive thing to Xiao Ai, a girl?

I didn't have an answer, and I didn't feel like I was really doing anything wrong, but I felt a little heartache when I remembered the image of her going back and forth through the courtyard gate twice to buy me a beer in that abandoned textile factory...... I should have been nicer to this girl.

However, I love every minute and every second with Chen Yi, maybe I am a very selfish person in my bones, I told her a big lie, but I still hope that she can understand my love for Chen Yi, and then forgive me.

After a while, Zhao Mu returned to the small courtyard, and I hurriedly got up and asked him, "Why did you come back so soon?" ”

"She didn't ask me to deliver it, she drove away."

"Is she alright?"

"Crying."

I lowered my head and took a puff of cigarette, and said to Zhao Mu for a long time: "You give me her WeChat ID, and I will use WeChat to talk to her later." ”

Zhao Mu nodded, then took out his mobile phone and reported Xiao Ai's WeChat account to me, and he asked me again: "Brother Qiao, I'm also quite puzzled, do you need to come back until 11 o'clock when you go to see customers?" ”

"I finished talking to the customer at eight o'clock, and then went to have a meal with you, Sister Chen Yi."

"You're really untrustworthy!"

"Why, isn't she finished the show at eight o'clock?"

Zhao Mu replied with regret: "According to the original plan, she was supposed to finish the performance at eight o'clock, but she temporarily changed the order of the performance with other actors, and it was adjusted to after nine o'clock, and I also sent you a text message about it, didn't you receive it?" ”

I picked up my phone again and looked at it, the messages sent to me by Zhao Mu were all there, but there was no one, and I immediately scolded "damn" in my heart, of course, it was the communication operator who was not good at doing things.

If I knew that Xiao Ai had temporarily adjusted the order of the performance for me, even if I temporarily stranded my date with Chen Yi, I would have rushed to the scene to watch her perform, but these accidents that were not within my control made me miss it, no wonder Xiao Ai would be so angry with me.

After finishing the conversation with Zhao Mu, I lay down on the bed after a simple wash, and then used my mobile phone to send Xiao Ai a request to add WeChat friends, but it didn't take long for me to receive a prompt that the other party refused to add friends, and I tried several times, but I didn't get any response. I figured that she had blocked my messages, so I put the phone back on the bedside cabinet in a bit of frustration, and then lit the last cigarette before going to bed......

……

The next day, I was still so busy that I couldn't breathe for a day, and when I was about to get off work, I went to confirm with Luo Sumei, and after confirming that no customers wanted to visit at night, I sent a WeChat message to Chen Yi, I wanted to ask her to watch a romantic literary film that was released just yesterday.

After a while, Chen Yi sent me a message back, she said that she was a little tired and asked me to make an appointment another day, and I remembered: She just did a large-scale live broadcast this afternoon, I can understand her tiredness, and I didn't force her, just told her to rest early.

I left the company, and when I got on the rickety bus, I thought of Xiao Ai's girl again, and I don't know if she has eliminated some of her anger towards me after such a night, and should I go to Nanyi to find her?

After thinking about it, I finally got off at the latter platform, and then stopped a taxi to drive to Nanyi, but this time I was not so lucky, Yu Xin, who was already very familiar with me, told me: Xiao Ai didn't come to school at all today, and she sometimes doesn't necessarily live in school, because she is a local girl in Nanjing, such as holidays or when there are not many classes, she will also go home to live.

I had to leave Nanyi in vain, and then returned to the alley where I lived with some depression that was difficult to dispel, but when I passed by the coffee shop called "Mood", I couldn't help but want to go in and drink a few beers.

Sitting in the coffee shop and drinking about two bottles of beer, I received a call from Qiao Ye, he said that he was coming to me, I told him that he was drinking beer in the mood coffee shop, and he rushed over very efficiently within five minutes, but the hairstyle was not as energetic as the previous time, it seems that he is really a little overwhelmed by the current life, and he doesn't even care about the hairstyle he cares about the most.

Qiao Ye also asked for a few bottles of beer, and before he could start drinking, I asked him, "You came to me this time, won't it be for that nonsense divorce celebration?" ”

"No, I'm just a little broken and want to have a few drinks with your brother."

I persuaded again: "Qiao Ye, it's really not that I'm willing to nag you, I think it's better for you to think twice about divorce, after all, Qin Miao is your wife who has obtained a certificate, and marriage is not about falling in love, it's not that you can give up if you feel that you can't stand it now." You have to remember that in a marriage, the man's responsibility is definitely greater than the woman's. ”

"Don't talk to me like a preacher, okay? I'm looking for you today just to have a good drink. ”

I couldn't laugh or cry, and after being speechless for a long time, I finally said: "You want to drink happily, I can't ask for it, but before we drink, you have to tell me what is the name of the woman you can't forget before, I have been hung by you for several days!" ”

Qiao Ye put down the beer bottle he was holding, then lit a cigarette again, and said to me for a long time: "Her name is Su Han, and she is a woman I will never forget in my life, I really want to know where she is now, and whether she is doing well!" ”

I can feel Qiao Ye's deep affection for this woman, but the reality is so ruthless in front of him, and I don't know how to persuade him, so I said after a long time: "Qiao Ye, you are really not the only one in this world who has been emotionally traumatized...... Do you know? As for the coffee shop where you are drinking now, its proprietress is the same as you, and she is also a victim of an arranged marriage, but she is much more free and easy than you, in fact, after seeing many things, it is really not as painful as imagined! ”

Qiao Ye closed his eyes and nodded to me, but he didn't want to say anything, and I finally believed that he came to me today to drink and vent his hatred, and then he didn't persuade him anymore, but just did his duty as a friend and drank bottle after bottle with him.

……

The night had come, and Qiao Ye and I were both a little drunk, but he had left the coffee shop before me, and I didn't want to leave so much, because I was used to being here to get rid of the loneliness of being alone, and it wasn't until Yu Xin called later and told me that Xiao Ai had returned to school five minutes ago, and I didn't leave the coffee shop.

I asked Yu Xin what Xiao Ai liked, and after learning that she liked puppets, I bought a half-human-tall tummy bear in the toy store outside the alley......

Finally, in the darkness of the night, I went to Nanjing University of the Arts, which is not far but not close to Tulip Road, for the second time
