Chapter 222: Empathy
Thirty-two-year-olds, even if they are not married, have girlfriends with them in this city. Mu Yang belongs to that kind of alternative, ten years of waiting, in exchange for still no news of Siya, for him, more often, he is sitting on the edge of the bed alone, smoking a cigarette sullenly, and living a chaotic life.
Such days have passed for many years, and Mu Yang has borne a lot, and it seems that the bitterness in his heart will only be confided to the brother Daxi after he is drunk.
Sheng Chen moved the table, looking at Mu Yang's lost appearance, as if he had seen his own appearance, after putting the table into the warehouse, Mu Yang locked the table firmly with an iron chain, as if the past and youth, as well as those memories about the girl. It's all locked up.
"Whew..."Mu Yang exhaled with relief, the past, youth was locked by a long iron chain at this moment, and everything about Han Siya was sealed in the dust by him like this desk.
Mu Yang was completely relieved at that moment, that stupidity was just an obsession, his unwillingness, not giving up, perseverance, and when the iron chains locked those things, they disappeared in an instant.
Sheng Chen patted Mu Yang's shoulder, but he didn't expect that in just one day, two strangers who didn't know each other before would become sympathetic friends at this moment.
Looking at Mu Yang's sluggish appearance, Sheng Chen's heart rippled, and he always felt that something was blocked in his heart, so he took out his mobile phone and made a call to Xiao Ruoning, but he didn't get through, flipping through the chat records that stayed at eleven o'clock last night, Sheng Chen suddenly found out. After leaving Xiao Ruoning, she had a little more concern.
The emotional sustenance made him cherish every moment with Xiao Ruoning even more, even if he is separated now, it is essential to have a connection, and he can't let love lose to time and distance.
Mu Yang lit a cigarette, handed it to his mouth with a little trembling hands, and said softly, "So many years have passed in a flash, hehe, that obsession should be let go." Mu Yang knew that even if he waited until his gray hair was gray, it would be useless. A lost is a loss, and there is no way to get it back.
Even if he waited, it wasn't what he wanted. Time distance wins love, can love without bread last? No one is qualified to give a definite answer, because no one knows the unexpected and the one that will come first tomorrow.
Sheng Chen didn't bother Mu Yang. A man walks through the empty warehouse, browsing through every graffiti, the notes on the walls, seemingly disorganized. In fact, there is a pattern to be found.
After a while, Mu Yang came back to his senses and said lightly, "Sheng Chen, come here, accompany me to the bar, Daxi has been too busy recently, I don't want to trouble him." ”
Sheng Chen knew that only under the anesthetic effect of alcohol could Mu Yang get a short period of comfort in his heart, just like the lyrics of Zheng Zhihua's sailor, he always relied on the anesthesia of alcohol to be able to sleep.
From the metro station to the brothers' bar, the time has only passed for more than half of the time, and the sun is setting. The remnant sun is like blood, in front of an open-air barbecue stall, Mu Yang shouted at the top of his voice, "The boss has twenty skewers of mutton, and there are twenty pork kidneys to be bloody, and the fried chicken is a bucket first..." During this time, a full five glasses of draft beer were poured from the original beer.
The cups were bubbling with cold air, Sheng Chen was a little surprised, and he could see that Mu Yang was very familiar with this place. It's just that the furnishings here are very simple, but it attracts many people to come here to eat barbecue.
For Sheng Chen's incomprehension, Mu Yang had already seen it in his eyes. Explained lightly, "This is an old shop, it has been open for more than ten years, and I have it since I was in school." ”
Looking in the direction of his finger, the billboard on the barbecue stand was blurred. As long as the word barbecue is faintly visible, the rest is unknown. I couldn't see it clearly, and the entire advertising paper was already in tatters.
Before the skewers were served, Mu Yang's two glasses of draft beer were already in his stomach, and the whole person looked very melancholy, after cutting off the last beauty of the past. Mu Yang knew that the obsession in his heart should also be let go.
After only one day of acquaintance, Mu Yang had an expectation in Sheng Chen's heart, and always felt that his dreams that could not be realized would definitely bloom in him.
"Her name is Han Siya, and she is my first love, and she is the only woman I have ever really loved." Three glasses of draft beer went down to his stomach, and without waiting for Sheng Chen to ask, he talked about the past that had been dusted by him.
"It was in this high school that we met and fell in love, but in the year of the college entrance examination, everything changed, and when we filled in the college entrance examination volunteers, we applied for the same university, but I was only thirteen points short of her, so I broke up with her in that college entrance examination."
Mu Yang's face in his thirties had the vicissitudes and sorrow of a forty or fifty-year-old man, pointing to Tongji University next to him and opening lightly, it seemed that only under the anesthesia of alcohol would the weak part of his heart be revealed.
"Back then, I was only thirteen points away from being able to enter this school with her, but unfortunately fate played a joke on me." Mu Yang bitterly confided in the events of the year, looking at Tongji University not far away with a confused look, but a different kind of love surged in his heart.
Eating in front of the barbecue stall from sunset until more than eleven o'clock in the evening, Sheng Chen couldn't remember how much he and Mu Yang said during the period, his head became groggy under the influence of alcohol, Mu Yang settled the account, and the two of them helped each other and walked back to the warehouse.
……
Xiao Ruoning stared at the dark night outside the window, the second day after Sheng Chen left the city, it already made her very uncomfortable without him, even if she was chatting and talking on the phone every day, but the distance between the cities became the biggest stumbling block.
In the scorching summer, not only Sheng Chen struggled in the city, but Shuo Fang, who graduated a year early, stepped into the society a year later than Sheng Chen, and it was also very unsmooth.
With the graduation certificate issued by Lan Xiang, he hit walls everywhere in this city, and more often, Shuo Fang squatted under the street lamp, looking at the stars in the distant sky, thinking about many things before.
Habitually opened QQ and flipped through the chat history, but there was a burst of loss in his heart, looking at the chat history that stopped in late autumn last year, Shuo Fang had a melancholy face, he almost exhausted all the ways to query Chen Wen's current situation, searched with Baidu, sent group messages, and still found nothing.
The silence of the night, it seemed that only the crickets in the grass in the distance were still chirping, and raindrops began to float in the sky, dripping down Shuofang's face. At that moment, he really felt what it was to be unaccompanied, and looking at the city, even if Shuo died in the corner of the city at this moment, he would not leave anything in the city.
