Chapter 55: Something Different
Without Ouyang Ze, life is like living in a city without pollution. The breath is so pure, relax and forget the worries of a few days ago.
Once upon a time, I thought that Ouyang Ze had really left my life. When Wu Yao and I came to Shanghai one after another, when I met Zhao Lei and went through many hardships with him, I realized that in fact, Ouyang Ze has always been in my mind, and I will subconsciously pull him out of my memory and compare him with Zhao Lei and them.
In any case, he used to be a pain in my heart, and I can't easily forget it. It's just that this time it's different, this time I cut off the relationship with him with my own hands, and ended his life with my own hands, like taking out an eraser and erasing him from my mind.
"Rui Rui, when you were imprisoned by Ouyang Ze, didn't he give you food? Why did you lose so much weight from hunger? Zhao Lei was peeling apples for me next to him, and when he inadvertently looked up at me, his eyes were also full of pity.
"Hmm—" That's an answer, and it's not an answer. Because when I said this, I didn't think about it in my head, to be precise, I didn't even know his question very clearly, and I only cared about the name of the person he said at the beginning.
"Ouyang Ze..."I looked at the fruit knife in Zhao Lei's hand and muttered, "Is he really dead?" "Even though I smashed his head with a stone, thinking about the countless possibilities in life began to doubt his life and death.
Zhao Lei saw that I was still not at ease, but sighed relaxedly, "Dead, really dead, he won't come to disturb our lives in the future, and there will only be you and me in the future." As he spoke, he handed the peeled apple to my hand.
I didn't dare reach out to pick it up. Because now, the name Ouyang Ze has become a puddle of blood sticking to my hands, although there is the smell of disinfectant water in the room, but it can't cover the breath of death, and I can still smell the fishy smell faintly. "Can you feed me? I... I don't want to raise my hand. ”
I deliberately retracted my hand into the quilt, trying to avoid Zhao Lei's eyes. Zhao Lei smiled at me, "Of course," he reopened the closed fruit knife again, allowing the sharp blade to plunge into the apple again. "Whew!" The sound sounded crisp, and the apple juice flowed down the blade.
"Open your mouth." He cut a small piece from the apple and carefully handed it to my mouth, smelling the fragrance before I could open my mouth. "Ahh I bit the apple off the blade. The taste is sweet and sour, and the crisp taste is also very good, there must be Zhao Lei's love in this.
Zhao Lei can always make me forget some unhappy things, for example, now, when he feeds me apples, I have already left Ouyang Ze on my lips behind, and those painful experiences have never left traces in my mind.
It's just that there is only Zhao Lei's care... It's a little monotonous, it stands to reason that Zhao Lei shouldn't be the only one by my side? I still have the last friend, and I still have Wu Yao. "Where did Wu Yao go? I haven't seen him for a few days. ”
Ever since Wu Yao came back from buying me food that day, his smile had stopped appearing. The next few days were also said to be busy, so busy that they refused to come to the hospital to see me. "It's okay, isn't he busy? I'll take care of you. Zhao Lei replied with a smile, his smile was bright, but he couldn't hide the anger at the corner of his mouth.
My gut told me that something must have happened between him and Wu Yao. "What happened to you and Wu Yao? What's weird? I haven't seen you two talk since I came back, did he provoke you? Why don't I apologize to you on his behalf? ”
My initiative stimulated Zhao Lei, and the expression on his face began to stiffen. "Why apologize? He didn't do anything wrong," he said, his voice growing softer, "Besides, even if he did something wrong, why would you apologize for him?" ”
He looked up at me, his sharp eyes made me uncomfortable, and the fire of jealousy burning in his pupils was also growing flames, "We are friends, between friends, what is there to worry about?" "I didn't think so, I thought he was just jealous, but I didn't expect that he wasn't jealous...
"Friends? What kind of friend is that? Why do you have to admit his mistakes when he did wrong? Zhao Lei relentlessly struggled with this issue, which made me more convinced that there was a gap between the two of them, no, it was not an estrangement, but a misunderstanding. Because with my understanding of Wu Yao, there can only be a misunderstanding between them.
"What the hell is wrong with you? I've said they're friends, just friends. You and I are a couple, can you distinguish the situation? I showed him the ring on my ring finger. When he saw this, he was silent, and his mood stabilized a little.
He put down the apple and fruit knife in his hand, covered his face with both hands, and took a deep breath. "Forgive me, I'm a little too excited, I'm sorry..."He rarely apologizes to me, and unless he does something that particularly makes me angry, he usually uses "pestering" to solve problems.
"Tell me, what the hell happened to you two?" I continued to ask, holding his hand in the palm of his hand so that the ring on his finger could touch mine.
"At that time, Tang Rong called and told me what happened to you before." He said word by word, as if Tang Rong's words were the king's holy decree, and he had to believe every word. "Tell me how Wu Yao feels about you."
He was really jealous, because of Wu Yao's affairs. I know that Zhao Lei, who is usually so generous, only in this situation will his jealous nature be exposed. "Heck, that's all in the past, there's no need to remember it for so long. I'll call Tang Rong in a while, really, knowing that it's impossible for me to be with Wu Yao, and tell you these things. ”
"Don't blame her." Before I finished speaking, Zhao Lei hurriedly picked up, "I asked her to tell me, I want to know what happened to you before." ”
He was like a child who had done something wrong, and he spoke carefully. "What is there to ask about the past? I really don't understand you, didn't I tell you everything? "I'm a little confused.
"Because of the question Ouyang Ze asked that day." He reluctantly said, "I saw that you were a little excited when you answered the question, and... And then it's a little unpleasant. ”
"You remember, I forgot everything before, and you have to forget it too. From now on, we only have the future, only you and me. Understand? I told him.
But in my heart, it seems to be another voice...
