Jia Yi's mood also calmed down slightly, no longer sobbing, and the tears stopped unconsciously, she was thinking about how to explain to Mark just now, but Mark asked first: "That ...... The man who catches you is ...... Your friend? ”

"It's a college classmate."

"Oh, I see, he liked you before."

Mark's words weren't a question, but so sure they helped Jia Yi to make a decision, which caught her off guard, and she stared at Mark, trying to catch any clues in his eyes - jealousy? Smell a rat? Or does it not matter?

Mark saw that she didn't answer, and continued: "You can see that he must have liked you before." ”

She finally saw clearly, his eyes were still as flat as usual, only his brow was slightly frowned, as if he was thinking deeply, but in any case, that look had nothing to do with jealousy.

"But we weren't together before!"

"Really? Well...... Then his reaction was so big that it felt sudden. ”

It was clearly a look of suspicion, and she saw it clearly again.

"It's complicated, anyway, it's not what you just heard, I ......" She began to choke again, she really couldn't cry anymore tonight, biting her lower lip and raising her head desperately to hold back, but the tears still found a gap and flowed down the corners of her eyes.

But Mark's eyes still didn't wave, as if he was listening to a story, and only handed a tissue to wipe his tears when Jia Yi was uncomfortable.

Jia Yi's heart was a little cold, she didn't want to explain, she felt that Mark was sitting next to her at the moment, but she was separated from her by a world overnight. And it is precisely that the people and things in his world are so normal, without the slightest thick ink, let alone dog blood.

Seeing that Jia Yi didn't speak, Mark began to say himself: "Don't be too sad, do you want to hear my story?" ”

Jia Yi turned her head to look at him, her eyes looking extremely surprised.

Mark sighed and said slowly-

"My previous girlfriend also met in college. We both studied design, often worked on projects together, agreed with each other's styles, and gradually came together, four years, four years of college...... After graduating, we did the job we liked together, and then she wanted to go to Europe, and I never wanted to leave China, so I agreed with her, and the two started a cross-border relationship. ”

"Later, with jet lag, different things to be exposed to, different circles, we still lost to jet lag, but this is only the superficial reason, the real reason is that we don't understand each other so much anymore, the person who designed is like that, once you can't understand what he's doing, two people don't feel like they're in the same world."

"We didn't even say anything about breaking up, everyone was almost sure in their hearts, there was less contact, and they no longer asked why, but each other always knew where each other was and what the state was, but this information no longer became a symbol of intimacy between two people, but a distant concern, when you are lonely and helpless, as long as you think that there is at least one person worth missing, you feel very satisfied."

"I never think it's a bad love, being together makes both of us better, not together, our lives haven't fallen into a desperate situation because of this, the ending is good, but the ending is ultimately figured out by the people themselves. If you figure it out, it's the end, and if you can't figure it out, it will become a grudge. ”

Jia Yi listened to Mark finish telling the story of his first love, but she didn't know why, she was not interested in knowing the details of his first love at all. But he said it all, and it was on a night like this, that he connected him to her with a story like this, as if he were inductively deductive, verifying something he was convinced of to conclusion.

After Mark finished the story, he looked at Jia Yi again, his tone was still very calm, and he didn't see any loss at all, he said: "Jia Yi, everyone will have a special person to accompany him in every life journey, and his special may not lie in him as a person, but in the special growth significance of that process that gives him a special role." ”

He continued: "Whatever it was, I'm sure that the man must have been an important person in your college years, and he represents a part of your life. ”

"Mark, what do you mean?!" She finally spoke, eager and skeptical, for she felt that Mark's every word was pushing her into another abyss, leaving her trapped in a cursed cycle from which she could not escape.

"I hope you can sort it out, don't rush to deny yourself, let alone deny him, reorganize your relationship, re-understand yourself, and you will find that the ending is not so bad."

"But I'm not destined for anything to end well, he ...... He was killed by me...... How can someone like me ......"

Mark interrupted her, shook his head and persuaded: "No, you let so many people get together for a happy night, start your own business and solve so many problems, you are not easy, you can't attribute this to the reason of your body, it is only superficial, deeper things need you to understand, you must understand, you can explain it to others, in order to find a solution, it is meaningless to blame all the reasons on the body." ”

At this time, Mark was like a pastor, telling Jia Yi little by little, although she was relieved, but her face was still dull. She was more mindful of Mark's role at this time—at least not as a bystander.

"In the first love story just now, you figured out your ending?"

Mark smiled and said, "Of course. ”

"So...... You still rejected me? ”

"I don't need to like another woman to prove that I figured it out, as long as you recall that time is happy, moving, and grateful, it's enough, to put it bluntly, it's your own business after all."

Jia Yi didn't speak anymore, only smiled, laughed miserably.

It's not that she can't understand, but what can she do, she doesn't need such a strong reason, she just needs a word of relief, even if it's chicken soup mixed with lies.

When she and Mark walked into the store again, everyone was still talking together, and there was nothing unusual in the house, but Qiao Le and Xiaoyin were gone.

Jia Yi found Gao Qu, who was sitting alone in the corner of the second floor drinking something, and when he saw her standing next to him, he didn't raise his head, but said lightly: "He and Xiaoyin went back." ”

He actually guessed her mind lightly,

She wasn't surprised, she didn't ask more, she could only see the left side of his face, and the other side fell into a shadow, unable to figure out - he knew very well, at least he knew about her using Xiao Yin to borrow money, but he didn't look like he was holding it accountable.

He only said that when he persuaded Qiao Le to let go, "She is a woman, and you can't be like this as a man, right." He was still very dissatisfied with her, and even despised her from the bottom of his heart.

Gao Qu saw Jia Yi standing on the side, and he had no intention of leaving, so he put one hand on the table to support his right face, and asked casually, "Do you have anything to say?" ”

Jia Yi took a step forward and said, "Gao Qu, I'...... It's my fault, I shouldn't have lied...... Lie to you and Xiao Yin. ”

She suddenly felt that she blurted out the word "deception" so naturally, no wonder Qiao Le thought she was hypocritical, and even she was so familiar with herself.

Gao Qu's hand was still on the right side of his face, and he picked up the cup with his left hand and drank it, and only after drinking did he say, "Do you know? Xiaoyin is a simple girl, she likes Qiao Le, and she can do anything for Qiao Le, so she can come and lie to me to borrow money in order not to let him be involved because of your affairs, and you ...... You actually thought of using such a simple girl, I have to say, you are very smart, but this kind of means is not the work of a really smart woman. ”

Jia Yi's head slowly lowered, and she was powerless to refute.

Gao Qu finally stood up and walked in front of her, looking at her who lowered her head and didn't dare to look up at herself, her eyes suddenly passed through her thin shoulders, and she just saw Sheng Fuyang leaning on the railing on the second floor, looking lively.

Gao Qu said slowly: "You don't have to pay back the money." ”

Jia Yi raised her head in shock, but Gao Qu instantly walked behind her, ready to go downstairs, she could only look at his back and listen to him continue: "I want to participate in the dividend of this store, and that money is my early investment." ”

He turned his back to Jia Yi, but he was facing Sheng Fuyang, as if he was deliberately saying it to Sheng Fuyang.

It was not only Jia Yi who was surprised, but also Sheng Fuyang, of course he heard it clearly, and the body he was leaning on suddenly left the railing and stood straight.

Jia Yi was puzzled and asked, "Why?" ”

"There's no reason, I should have contributed less than one-third, it doesn't matter, what else can I invest in the later stage." After he finished speaking, he went straight downstairs.

Jiayi followed, grabbing him as he descended a few stairs, and he had to stop and hesitantly watch Jiayi grasp his hand, which happened to be at the wrist, and the two of them were close together.

"I don't want you to invest, I will return the money to Xiaoyin immediately, let her return it to you, don't ......"

Gao Qu said sternly: "Is there room for you to bargain now?" ”

Jia Yi still didn't let go of his hand, and said: "Of course, I admit that I am very unbearable and have done such a thing, but I don't want you to be pitiful, and I don't want you to take money to humiliate me......"

"Huh...... It's really high. He said with a smile, turning his face sideways again, but instead of looking at Jia Yi, he only looked at the still frolicking crowd and continued: "You have no room for negotiation in this matter, this is the price you pay for calculating people!" ”

He shook off her hand vigorously, looked at Mark, and said, "I know you're smart, but please love yourself!" He expected that Jia Yi might have deliberately drunk and paralyzed himself that night to approach Mark, and although he didn't want to think so, he was inexplicably sure.

Jia Yi's eyes widened in surprise, and before he could reply, Gao Qu went downstairs directly.

Self-love, self-love, these two words are like an enchantment, separating him and her, so she didn't dare to go forward to chase him, only to watch him walk out of the store directly, disappear into the night, another person who said goodbye.

Sheng Fuyang, who had been watching for a long time, deliberately said to her: "Gao Qu is also strange, he took the initiative to stuff money into people, do you think he has any other intentions?" ”

Jia Yi didn't respond, and went straight downstairs.

She naturally knew that Gao Qu had a purpose, either to control her better, or to just pity her, but no matter what the purpose was, Jia Yi didn't want to have anything to do with him on the sensitive topic of "money" and she was in a weak position.

What's more, in his opinion, he has long been a person who does not love himself.

She stood by the stairs, physically and mentally exhausted looking at the people around her, a good party, a few people who were really lively, maybe more people came to join in the fun, every one of them here was related to her, but none of them seemed to have anything to do with her.

Overnight, she gradually lost herself before she had time to start, and now she, Liang Jiayi, can only rely on this store for her life.

She thought so, at least now the railing of the staircase that supported her, the floor on which she was standing was real, she slowly closed her eyes, and wanted to fall down like this, lying on the floor of the shop, she knew that only this land could give her softness.
