Chapter 5 Some people can only be friends
"Sooner on." Wen Yimo put a piece of fish meat into his bowl, patiently picked the thorns and put them in my bowl, "As long as you want, you don't have to pick the fish yourself from now on." ”
Picking fish bones is obviously a simple action, but Wen Yimo does it so good-looking, and he is so handsome and chic when he raises his hands and feet.
I looked left and right, up and down in embarrassment, my eyes rolled around, forcing myself not to look at him, this man is too wicked!
"I'm so cheap? A piece of fish was bought? ”
Wen Yimo smiled with ulterior motives, "That's not it, you're my baby." ”
"Ahem, cough, cough......" The rice in his mouth almost squirted out and stuck in his throat, and he died of discomfort, coughing violently.
Wen Yimo hurriedly got up and took a glass of water and handed it to me, patting me on the back, "Won't I just say something, as for such a big reaction?" ”
I drank saliva to feel more comfortable, and immediately raised two chopsticks with both hands and crossed them, and dissociated myself from him: "Yes, I have nothing to do with you."
"It doesn't matter now, it doesn't mean there won't be in the future." I opened my mouth to continue retorting, but he pushed me with his elbow and quickly said, "Oh, okay, okay, eat quickly."
I haven't been in touch with Xu Chenyi since the party that day, because I was busy taking care of Wen Yimo, so I didn't have time. After struggling with my mobile phone all morning today, I finally mustered up the courage to call Xu Chenyi.
I heard a familiar voice on my phone: "What's the matter?"
I smiled comfortably: "Hey, I said, I don't take the initiative to talk to my old friend after coming back for so many days."
"Yes, yes, I apologize to you, where do you say to go?"
"Let's go to the coffee shop in front of my alma mater."
When we came to the coffee shop, we still sat at the "No. 13" table, every time I came to this store in college, I would sit down at this table, 13 is Xu Chenyi's lucky number, I hope he can always be happy.
The happiness I want is his happiness.
"After all these years, you're still together!" The waiter said with a look of surprise. I used to come often, maybe the relationship was too good and we ignored each other's gender, and we got along like buddies, so others misunderstood that they were lovers.
Xu Chenyi only replied lightly: "We are just friends." Let the otherwise relaxed atmosphere fall into embarrassment......
I bowed my head and said nothing, hiding the sadness that flashed in my eyes.
Yes, we are classmates, friends, confidants, but not lovers.
The waiter changed the subject with a lot of interest: "What do you need to drink?"
"A cappuccino, a mocha, thank you." Xu Chenyi said as he handed the drink list in his hand to the waiter.
I expertly added two pieces of candy to him. "Taste, the sweetness of this coffee is your favorite."
"I didn't expect you to remember."
"I like to drink mocha, and you still remember that."
looked at this man he loved dearly, and felt that he was out of reach. It's obviously right in front of him, but his heart is always far away, and the person closest to his heart is not me.
I think it's good that even though we're not together, we care about each other like a couple. I am content to be able to accompany him as a friend.
Xu Chenyi's hand stirring coffee paused, and said to me thoughtfully: "In a blink of an eye, so many years have passed."
Yes, time flies so fast, all of us have changed when we meet again, I used to think that the person who would be with Xu Chenyi in the end was me, but then I gradually understood that it was impossible between us.
Xu Chenyi's feelings for me have always stayed in the circle of friendship.
Still, over the years, I still can't forget it.
I always look at Xu Chenyi and Luo Yi from a distance, and on the surface, I bless them with a smile, but in fact, the heart that is tightly wrapped in gauze layer by layer has long been bleeding.
"By the way, what's next for you?" Obviously very concerned, but he still looks like "just ask".
"I came back from three years in the army, and now I'm twenty-five years old, and I want to get married. It's time for my marathon love run to end. The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and before the smile reached the bottom of his eyes, he looked at me meaningfully.
After listening to Xu Chenyi's answer, I was stunned, and then I turned my head uncomfortably.
Tie the knot? It's with her, yes, they've been together for five years, it's time to talk about marriage...... I applied to the army to return to City A because of this.
I understand the look in his eyes...... is implying to me that his relationship with Roy will not be diluted by time.
If I had known that what I said when Xu Chenyi left would have become a barrier between the two now, I would never have said it at the beginning.
Those words were not meant to be, I wanted to keep him, even if it was ...... It's for her, and I never want him to be sad. It's just that if you don't have a heart, you hurt someone with a heart.
I pretended to "dislike" him to hide the pain in my heart: "Is it really okay for you to bully me like this single dog?"
However, Xu Chenyi didn't mean to let me go, and said darkly: "You can choose not to come, but you must have money."
Speechlessly, he rolled his eyes at him, and his cute appearance made him laugh, "What a living treasure, how much like a twenty-four-year-old should be." ”
Speaking of age, Xu Chenyi seemed to think of something, "Why are you still single, you should find someone to take care of you." ”
I just smiled and lowered my head to stir the coffee.
He wouldn't know it was him who I had been waiting for. Xu Chenyi, I love you, do you really feel it or don't want to pierce this veil?
After being silent for a long time, I said slowly: "I'm still young now, I haven't played enough, I don't want to plan to get married so early like you."
"After all these years, can't you let him go?"
Does "he" refer to Ling Hao? I'm already dead to Ling Hao......
Xu Chenyi saw that I didn't answer, thinking that he had touched my "wound", and immediately comforted: "It's okay, the world is so big, why bother to love a flower." It takes a few wrong people to complete your life. The right people, sooner or later, will appear. ”
"I've loved it for so long, and this love has become a habit, not that you can let it go." I stared at the ring on my left ring finger in a daze, muttering to myself, but I ignored that Xu Chenyi's hearing was excellent, and he heard everything I said word for word.
This ring has been worn since the age of eighteen, and it looks like a regular ring on the outside, but it is actually engraved with the letters "XCY" on the inside.
I love him so much, I want to be with him so much, but I can only think about it, maybe the fate between us is to be friends.
I can't help but laugh at myself, he is getting married, but the person who walked into the church with him in a wedding dress and read the vows hand in hand is not himself......
Some love, not mine.
Some people can only be friends.
