Chapter 33: I Like You, What Should I Do?
In the Western Restaurant on Chaoyang Street, after Shen Xinyu sat by the window, Ye Pu sat opposite Shen Xinyu with a big grin.
The dining table in front of the two is not very big but a little small and exquisite, which is very suitable for two young couples with medium incomes to talk about ideals and life here, and then from time to time to have some sweet words from you and me. Of course, although Ye Pu and Shen Xinyu are not lovers, this situation really has the flavor of a couple.
This restaurant is not one of those high-level consumption places, at most it is above average. Since he came here to eat, Ye Pu didn't order those more expensive things, judging from the income of Shen Xinyu's flower shop, it was at most the income of a middle-class white-collar worker, and Ye Pu's clothes were the clothes that Nangong Siying bought at that time, and they were not particularly expensive and how bad they were. So the two of them came here to eat as a pair of ordinary friends, no clear soup noodles seem to be shabby, but there is no high-grade mountain and sea delicacies.
Seeing the slightly red cheeks of the beautiful woman opposite, Ye Pu guessed that the other party should not or rarely go out on dates. Finding this, Ye Pu didn't make much fuss about this issue, casually said some interesting things, and made some small jokes to resolve Shen Xinyu's somewhat embarrassing state of mind at this time. Food delivered by the waiter, two medium-rare steaks and a bottle of regular red wine, two transparent and flawless glasses. Ye Pu skillfully cut the steak into small pieces of meat, and then swapped them with Shen Xinyu's plate. After receiving the girl's thanks, she poured the red liquid from the bottle into the cup and clinked glasses with the other party.
At this time, Ye Pu seemed to be incarnated as a polite gentleman, with a noble temperament flowing between his gestures. And the beautiful girl Shen Xinyu is incarnated into an innocent little girl with a little shyness, and her every move is so careful and distressing.
"Ye Pu, what are you doing?" Shen Xinyu asked softly.
"My family has 3,000 acres of fertile land and more than 100 servants, and I am a real local tyrant, sitting on the empty mountain. Hey. β
"Cut, not serious." Shen Xinyu scolded with a smile.
"I am a graduate of the Chinese Department of Yenching, and I found a media company for advertising planning, and the job is relatively stable, and the salary is okay. On a water-like day, water flows. It's all so calm, but I'm also enjoying it. But good times don't last long, and our boss once asked me to go out for a drink because he invited the CEOs of other companies to dinner. After the wine was in the middle of the year, a boss ...... Anyway, you know, I got angry on the spot, slapped the boss and left the dinner. Later, he was fired from the company. Shen Xinyu took a sip of red wine elegantly and said to herself.
Ye Pu sighed softly when he heard it, it is both a good thing and a bad thing for a person to have a good appearance. This society is like this, when you obey it, you may reverse your outlook on life and values, but when you want to maintain your independent personality, then you can only be swallowed by the society, and there is no slag left, and it may reach the point of no return. Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and everyone has a bitter history that they have to say.
"Then you didn't look for a job again?"
"Yes, but they all took a fancy to my appearance and wanted me to achieve their goals of one kind or another. So ......" Shen Xinyu smiled bitterly.
"Then after going through those things, I figured it out. Since my personality can't be changed, I can only work for myself. The conditions of the family are not good, I also borrowed money from relatives and friends to open a flower shop, and after a year, not only did I pay them back, but I also had some surplus. I thought it was good, so I slowly threw myself into it. But one day things suddenly changed, and the appearance of a man caused a ripple in my otherwise calm heart. β
"He would show up at my flower shop on time every day, buy flowers every day, but forget to take them every time he paid for them. After a long time, I gradually realized that he deliberately forgot to give me flowers. Why did he have to be so attentive, but he didn't show his heart like me, so that I couldn't touch it and couldn't guess it, and I couldn't stop worrying. Finally, one day I mustered up the courage to talk to him, and his voice was gentle and magnetic, and it was very nice. From his words, I know that he is a very proud person, and although he dresses like a dress and tries his best to hide it, I know that he is not our ordinary people. β
"One day, I offered to treat him to dinner, and he agreed. It's in this Western restaurant, it's in this position -- table 56. We had a great time eating, and I even got to love the feeling. I don't know if it was intentional that day, but suddenly the power went out. The waiter brought a candle, which he lit. In the yellowish candlelight, his handsome face looked even more heroic, and his smiling face was so heartwarming that I couldn't even hear any sounds around me, and my eyes were full of him. β
It turned out that she was going to eat at this place, and she chose this location because she and Song Xinfeng had eaten here, and it was their first date. Without Shen Xinyu's explanation, Ye Pu also understood that person was Song Xinfeng. I don't know what happened between them, but Ye Pu knew that he was being treated as a substitute by others today. Suddenly, Ye Pu felt as if a stone had been pressed in his heart, and it was so heavy that he couldn't breathe.
originally planned to tie up this girl directly, and then force Song Xinfeng to comply. But when he came to the door of the flower shop and saw that the other party was a beautiful woman, he became a little hesitant. Her beauty is like the starry sky with milky white flowers in the store, pure and lovable, not delicate, not big, but when you pay attention, you will find that she is all over the mountains. Her serious appearance is like a performance artist, who treats those flowers and plants as an art.
Maybe it's because she's an ordinary girl, maybe it's because her seriousness touches him, maybe it's because of the most primitive impulse in the human heart, Ye Pu didn't even walk in the door to disturb her. But he understood that there was a seed whose name he didn't know was beginning to grow and sprout in his heart.
But what about the facts? Ye Pu's heart was full of sadness, and even brought a little anger.
Shen Xinyu didn't notice Ye Pu's face at all, and then said: "He held the back of my head with his hand, I had nowhere to avoid, gently, his lips covered mine, there was no madness, no possession, only lips and lips snuggling." β
"You chased me just to sue me for this?" Ye Pu said coldly.
"No......" Shen Xinyu began to become a little panicked.
Ye Pu's eyes were very calm, as if he was dealing with a stranger. The more such a look, the more scared Shen Xinyu felt. Because it has already been shown that the other party regards himself as an inconsequential person.
"You ......"
"I'm just your listener, right?"
"No, Ye Pu, don't get me wrong, I'll ...... you Treat you like a friend. β
"Friends? The meaning of this word is too broad for me to understand. I still have some things to do, so I'm going to go first. Ye Pu pushed away the chair and got up to leave.
A turn, a back, a life and death, a lifetime, gone.
Big tears flowed down her cheeks, and she wanted to tell SΓΉ Ye Pu that she was not what you thought. My heart, which had long been painless, was now throbbing, and it was a thing of the past between me and him, long in the past. Bringing you here today is just for you to be a witness to that fruitless love, and I will never have anything to do with him again.
Shen Xinyu suddenly wanted to keep Ye Pu, like lazy to the last ray of sunshine in the afternoon. I wanted to reach out, but I couldn't hold on to it, and I couldn't do anything to wait for the darkness to come.
He would come to my store on so many days, and he didn't miss a single one. It was a long time before I took the initiative to speak to him, and it was only later that I invited him to dinner. But what about you? You said let me take the initiative to take a step forward, but I took so many steps. I can't forget that it's shameful and betrayal for someone to be with another person, and I don't want to let myself be with you with his shadow.
"Ye Pu, I find myself in love with you, but what should I do?" Shen Xinyu had long been unable to cry.
