The sun was dazzling at noon, and the streets were still filled with the festive smell of two wedding convoys, except for some white pigeons to set off a more realistic scene. But that's okay, as I said earlier: colorful cars and streetlights of different shapes are blessed fireworks

Xiao Ai and Yuan Zhen across the street were still standing in place, looking at Xiao Ai's sullen expression, I was no longer surprised by Yuan Zhen's arrival, even I, who had only known Xiao Ai for a few months, knew that she was in a bad mood, and then used a clumsy performance to please her, not to mention Yuan Zhen, a senior brother who had a delicate relationship with her.

Chen Yi and Yuan Zhen are both people in the circle, and the two greeted each other out of politeness. Because there are guardrails on both sides of the street, we didn't plan to say a few words closer, Chen Yi was the first to turn around and prepare to leave, and Yuan Zhen was the second. Just as I was about to follow in Chen Yi's footsteps, Xiao Ai suddenly made a middle finger gesture to me unexpectedly, and then turned around to follow Yuan Zhen's footsteps as he left

I was a little stunned, and the next moment I remembered that I didn't say hello to Chen Yi just now because I was in a hurry to see her, and her dissatisfaction should have stemmed from this.

Walking through this street, Chen Yi and I found a bench and sat down, we faced an unknown river, there are some flower shops and antique shops scattered on both sides of the river, and an old man on the small bridge not far away made us experience the leisure of Yangzhou once again by pulling the erhu, it is indeed one of the most worthy places to spend in Nanjing.

My mood gradually relaxed, I lit a cigarette, and Chen Yi wore sunglasses to look at the State Guest House located not far away, which is one of the most famous garden-style hotels in Yangzhou, which has received many heads of state and dignitaries.

I finally asked her, "What are you thinking?"

"Think about it, do you remember when I participated in the host contest?"

"Remember, you are the most comprehensive among all the contestants, you can dance, play the piano and Chinese painting, and the judges and the audience feel that you are the first deservedly."

"Jiang Qiao, can you tell me that I have studied my talent for so many years, regardless of cold and heat, just for this well-deserved first?"

I rarely see negative emotions in Chen Yi's body, I understand that she has also been hurt by the recent series of ups and downs, and she has doubts about herself, I think this is a normal phenomenon, because people cannot live outside society, and society is a machine that will constantly create confusion for people, even if it is as good as Chen Yi, it can't escape.

I finally took a deep breath of cigarette and said to Chen Yi: "In fact, we have been living in a huge bondage since the day we were born. We need food and clothing in bondage, love and love, a house that needs to be respected, air and water, life and death. The reason why you have paid so much since you were a child is to be able to break through these shackles and enrich your life today and in the future, of course, there are some shackles that we can never break, such as the shackles brought by life and death, such as the confusion created by society for us, so you don't have to doubt yourself, you don't have to be confused, everything you think about now is normal"

Chen Yi was silent for a long time before he asked me, "Jiang Qiao, will you tell yourself this?"

"It's no use telling myself that, because I've been given so little stuff, so this set doesn't work for me."

Chen Yi seemed to subconsciously hold my arm, she shook her head and said: "You have me, which is one of the few things I rely on in this world, so when facing some problems and difficulties, you must be more determined than me"

I looked at her until the midday wind blew around us several times before I replied, "Your parents must have put a lot of pressure on you."

"I'm not afraid of the pressure they put on me, I'm afraid of the pressure they put on you, I'm afraid of the pain and hurt caused to you by gossip, but you're not mentally prepared enough."

When Chen Yi talked about this, I suddenly understood the reason for her negativity. At this moment, in her eyes, it was the childhood that made her excellent that opened the distance between us at the moment and became the biggest hidden danger between us, so for a moment she would also think: If you were a person who didn't learn and didn't know how to do it with me when she was a child, now we can enjoy the love we should enjoy with an equal attitude, instead of living in the cracks that life gives us like now, and we can only use an almost stealing way to get a little pleasure.

It is conceivable that if Chen Yi's parents see the picture of us snuggling up at this moment, it will definitely embarrass me, but these have become part of what Chen Yi and I have to face, she can't escape, and I can't escape, so she wants me to be more determined than her.

I forced a smile, and then told her that I was not afraid of anything, so such a promise became an alliance between us, but there was always a little lingering bitterness, and the alliance was like this

In this world, there is not no love between strong women and weak men, but there are very few people like Chen Yi as a public figure, so once our relationship gradually becomes clear, the pressure and gossip I have to endure are unimaginable, and Chen Yi has already thought of these things one step before me.

I don't know when, a child selling handicrafts came to me and Chen Yi, he took out a garland from the box and handed it to me and said, "Big brother, buy a garland for your girlfriend and sister, it only costs ten yuan."

I asked, "Why did you come out to sell things when you're so small?"

He pointed behind him and said, "I am a student in the elementary school in the back, my classmates in our class are very seriously ill, the teacher organized us to make these garlands, and the money from the sale is used to treat our classmates, and the teacher said that she will be fine, because she is very brave, and we love her very much."

Chen Yi and I glanced at each other, and then looked around, and sure enough, there were several students with badges who were also selling garlands around here.

I took the garland from his hand and was about to take out the money from the wallet and hand it to him, but Chen Yi took all the garlands from the box he was holding, and then gave all the cash in the wallet about 2,000 yuan to the child, and said to him with an encouraging smile: "Little friend, take my sister and brother to say hello to your classmates, I hope she can be a strong child and recover soon."

"Well, sister, you are the best people in the world," he said and fumbled in his pocket for a while, then took out two rings and said to me and Chen Yi: "Brother and sister, my grandfather made silver jewelry in Dongguan Street, these two rings are given to you, you can go to Lao He Silver Jewelry Store to engrave your name, hehe just said that it is my friend, no money." ”

Chen Yi asked: "Why did you give us a ring?"

"I've thought about it a long time ago, whoever buys the most garlands, I'll give him a ring, and the most in our family is a ring, so I can only give this" After thinking about it, he added: "If you don't like me, I can't help it, I can't make money to invite you to dinner." ”

Chen Yi touched the child's head and replied, "You don't need to reciprocate for helping others, but we all like the ring very much." Chen Yi looked at me again after speaking.

We have been together for decades, and I suddenly realized that I must pay for something with special significance like a ring, so I hurriedly took out another 200 yuan from my wallet and put it in the child's box, but he refused to ask for it, until their teacher came, and after Chen Yi and I expressed our thoughts, he listened to the teacher's words and accepted the 200 yuan to buy the ring, and then said that the 200 yuan would also be donated to the sick classmate.

After the teacher led the child away, Chen Yi handed me one of the rings and asked me to put this silver ring on her, which symbolized the status of a couple. I have been a wedding planner for more than 6 years, and I have never seen a man give a woman this kind of ring without packaging and brand, this kind of silver ring is only preferred by some student couples, and Chen Yi and I are obviously past this stage I am a little dazed

Chen Yi stretched out his fair and slender left hand in front of me and said: "Jiang Qiao, you have also seen that a child is struggling with life and death, maybe she is not afraid, what we are facing is just a love that may be drowned out by rumors, what is there to be afraid of?"

I nodded, and then took a deep breath, I don't want Chen Yi to do too many things for my cowardice that will make her humble, I finally resolutely held her hand, ready to put the silver ring on her hand, but she suddenly made a stop gesture to me, I looked at her in surprise

"First go to the old He silver jewelry shop on Dongguan Street to engrave our name"

I smiled, then retracted my hand, I took Chen Yi's hand, and was about to leave here, but after a few steps, I met an oncoming tour group, my hand holding the ring rubbed with the backpack of one of the foreigners, the ring fell from my hand instantly, and then rolled down the ground into the river

I subconsciously stood on the guardrail of the bridge and watched, only to see that the river was as calm as a mirror, not to mention a ring, as if the dust had never fallen, only when the wind blew, it would make a little wave

There was a heart-wrenching pain in my body, and I couldn't look at Chen Yi's expression at this time, just tortured myself over and over again asking myself what was wrong, why didn't I put the ring in my pocket or squeeze it tighter

Recently, the update has been relatively slow, mainly because of my own writing status, I have written my fourth book, everyone hopes that I can change, I also hope that I will change, but people's thinking has limitations, and I am not a very talented person in writing, so I can only give myself more time to think, writing books is not as easy as everyone thinks, this is true
