Watching Xiaomin's back disappear into the door, Hongming suddenly wanted to smoke a cigarette. He rarely smokes anymore, but at the moment, he has to smoke one. He remembered seeing a small supermarket on the way here, so he walked back and bought a box of cigarettes. After coming out, I looked around and saw a small casual pavilion not far away, surrounded by dense trees. It was already dark, the evening breeze was cold, and people had gone home early, and there was no one around. He walked into the pavilion, took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a deep breath. Xiao Min reminded him of a river mussel that sensed danger, and closed its shell tightly, preferring to be broken than to open it. It doesn't matter, since he has waited for her for so many years, he is not afraid to wait another hour and a half. All he had to do now was sit and smoke, and wait for her to find him.

He bet she would come.

Sure enough, after a while, he heard someone say to him, "You haven't left yet?" ”

He turned his head and saw Min standing next to him. He didn't speak, but asked her with his eyes, "What are you here for?" ”

Xiao Min had no choice but to say, "Aren't you cold sitting here alone?" ”

He tucked the cigarette between his fingers and smiled, "Then you come and sit here and block the wind for me." ”

The stupid Xiao Min hesitated, really walked over, and sat next to him.

Hongming suddenly felt that he was back in a dream again. He turned his head to look at Xiao Min intently, and this time, her appearance was clear. He laughed again, "You feel sorry for me? ”

Xiao Min said, "If you talk like that again, I'll leave." ”

He stretched out his hand to grab her, "Don't go, you're not afraid of ruining the rest of my life!" ”

Xiao Min looked at him, "You can't talk well?" ”

He smiled wryly, "How can you talk well?" I'm just telling the truth, what's wrong? ”

Xiao Min never knew that she was so clumsy. After a pause, she said, "Didn't you say quit smoking?" ”

He said, "You don't like it? If you don't like me, I'll quit. ”

Xiao Min looked at him helplessly and said softly, "Why did you do this to me?" ”

He puffed out a puff of cigarette, "Nonsense, I like you, since I was sixteen." ”

Xiao Min was silent for a long time, raised his head to look at Hongming, and said softly, "Hongming, for so many years, you have always remembered me, you don't know how touched I am in my heart." I can't reciprocate this kind of affection. But," she lowered her head, "I'm really sorry, I can't date you," she laughed self-deprecatingly, "actually you're so good, you can find a girlfriend much better than me at will,"

Hongming calmly interrupted her, "It's my business, you only talk about yourself." ”

Xiao Min looked at the dark night and said, "I love others. ”

Hongming looked at her sharply, "You love him, he doesn't love you, does he?" ”

Xiao Min looked back at him suddenly, as if he was burned by the fire, and couldn't say a word.

Hongming sneered, "You definitely love him, you see you are so thin!" He certainly doesn't love you, because you're not happy at all. ”

Xiao Min was dumbfounded, and only after a while did he say, "I'm waiting for him." ”

Hongming bit his cigarette and asked, "Why wait?" ”

Xiao Min couldn't speak.

He ignored Xiaomin's pain, "He has a wife and children? ”

Xiao Min's face was red, and he struggled to defend himself: "I never wanted to destroy other people's families, but when I met him, he was already married and had children. ”

Hongming asked, "How do you know him?" ”

Xiao Min resisted the question: "I don't want to talk about it. ”

Hongming refused to follow her, "Your circle is very simple, are you colleagues?" ”

Xiao Min stubbornly wants to keep her secret, "Why are you asking so much?" I've never told anyone about it, and I won't tell you about it! ”

Hongming nodded, "So it's really an office romance." He muttered, "You shouldn't just like anyone, it's your boss?" ”

Xiao Min shook her head vigorously, "No! I'm not going to do anything to my boss! ”

Hongming asked calmly: "Since you never want to destroy other people's families, it must be that he took the initiative first?" ”

Xiao Min couldn't tell. Who fell in love with whom first? She remembered that when she first saw him, she looked at him blankly for a long time, and in a trance she felt that there was something very special about him, and then she realized that his side face looked a bit like her father. He was standing and talking to someone, facing Min sideways, and she thought he didn't see her at all. Later, she knew that not only did he notice her, but from that moment on, he had no intention of letting her go.

Hongming pulled her back with the next question, "How long does he want you to wait?" ”

She didn't know how long he wanted her to wait, he never said it, never. However, as long as he said it, no matter how many days and years, she would wait. Just want to stay together before death, how dare you delay it. All he had to do was speak.

Hongming looked at her and shook his head slightly, "Jian Xiaomin, I didn't mistake you at all!" When I saw you for the first time, I knew you were a fool, and I was always worried that someone would bully you in the future, and now it's true! ”

Xiao Min still defended him, "I know, he can't help it." ”

Hongming nodded in a trance, "Ah, that's the case," he looked at Xiaomin, "Is it that difficult?" If it's you who he loves, he's divorced. ”

Xiao Min didn't dare to look at him, bowed his head and said, "He is one of the highest executives in the company, and he has worked hard for many years to get to where he is today." I don't have a direct working relationship with him, but I'm a subordinate. The company does not allow ...... between superiors and subordinates Fall in love, let alone him...... There are families. As if she felt that the reason was not enough, she added: "He is doing so well now, I can't bear to let him ruin my future for me." ”

Hongming seemed to think she was funny, "So what?" If you can't do it here, you can go somewhere else to do it. There are things about executives changing jobs every day, why can't he? ”

Strange, such a complicated situation was said by Hongming to be like a trivial matter.

Hongming asked her, "Xiaomin, if you change positions, will you divorce and change jobs in order to be with him?" ”

Min, of course. As long as she can be with him, she is willing to give up anything, even life.

Hongming read her thoughts accurately, "Of course you will, because you truly love him." So why can't he do it for you? ”

What does Hongming want to say? He doesn't really love her? Xiao Min couldn't admit it, no, he must have loved her, his eyes, everything he did, told her. So why? Xiao Min only said for a long time, "His child is still very young." "It's so quiet that I can't even hear it.

Hongming laughed at her cruelly, "You think so much about him!" Then he lit another cigarette and smoked it, staring thoughtfully at the curling smoke and not speaking again.

His silence unnerved Min. She looked at him, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a while, she said, "Hongming, it's too late, let's go." ”

Hongming didn't seem to hear her at all. Still looking at the smoke and getting distracted.

Xiao Min was a little overwhelmed. Just as he was about to remind him that it was time to leave, Hongming suddenly turned his head and asked her, "Is it Nie Shujun?" ”

Xiao Min seemed to have been hit in the heart by a bullet suddenly, stayed there, looked at Hongming in shock, and asked reflexively: "How do you know?" ”

Hiroaki looked at her intently, "Oh, yes, that's right. ”

Xiao Min was still in shock, "How do you know?" ”

Hongming waved his hand, "What a simple thing!" Your company is internationally renowned! There are only a few top executives, and I basically know that. A few have also seen it. Use the elimination method to exclude, the too old and the female are excluded first, and then the fat man, you definitely don't love bald heads, not to mention that his children are not small; It shouldn't be that the one with a smile is too sleek, there are two more, and one may be, but he is athletic and too robust, and it shouldn't be what you like, so Nie Shujun is left. ”

The secret that had been kept for so long was split by him like lightning, and Xiao Min finally realized how inexperienced and imprudent he was in his words. Her face turned pale and she was trapped, "This is all your guess, it's not like this at all!" ”

Hongming's expression was exaggerated, "Really? Well, I'd like to get this out now. I'll hire a private detective tomorrow and find out as soon as I look it up. ”

Xiao Min's lips turned white, "What does this have to do with you?"

Hongming said simply, "It's okay. I'm just curious. ”

Xiao Min was speechless. She had never seen someone like Hongming, and she didn't know how to deal with him. After staying for a long time, she had to beg him, "Hongming, please, please don't tell others." ”

Her pain and fear did not move him in the slightest, and he asked nonchalantly, "Why?" Isn't it good for you to do more harm than good when you talk about it? ”

Xiao Min's eyes were red, and he finally said what was in his heart: "I don't want him to be in trouble because of me." ”

This sentence quieted Hongming. He looked at Xiao Min, and couldn't think of anything to say for a while, so he turned his head and smoked. After a while, he turned back to her and asked, "How long has this been?" ”

Xiao Min replied helplessly: "It's been two years." ”

He didn't mean to be restrained, "What does he have in store for you?" ”

Xiao Min couldn't tell.

He looked at her sharply: "No plan? ”

Xiao Min suddenly felt that she was going to collapse at any time, "Why are you asking so much?" It's my business, and it has nothing to do with you! ”

He laughed sarcastically: "I'll fight for you." ”

Xiao Min didn't know who she was angry with: "You don't have to! I believe he meant it to me! ”

Hongming shook his head and sneered, and took another puff of cigarette, "Infatuated woman! Not only did you let him lie to you, but you also partnered with him to deceive yourself. ”

Xiao Min said, "You seem to know everything, but I didn't tell you anything." ”

Hiroaki said, "Falling in love is a very simple thing. With the intelligence to play checkers, you can launch all modes of love. Seeing that Xiao Min didn't speak, he took a puff of cigarette, looked at her mockingly, and said, "You can't push it out?" Or do you close your eyes and refuse to see clearly? Your model is one of the funniest: he's a shrewd businessman, he may like you, but thinks you're too expensive, and he's waiting for you to lower the price! But you fool, you don't understand. ”

Xiao Min stood up and didn't look at him, "I should go." ”

Hiroaki grabbed her, "Don't go," he stared at her. Her face was pale, and even anger could not hide the heavy sadness in her eyes. "You haven't made it clear yet!"

Xiao Min looked at him in shock and anger: "Say what?" ”

He grabbed her wrist, "Is he sincere?" It's been two years, and he's sincere but hasn't told you anything? Is he blind? He can't see how thin you are? Can't see that you're bloodless at all? ”

Xiao Min suddenly screamed uncontrollably: "I don't need you to care!" I'm not a three-year-old! ”

Hongming threw away the cigarette in his hand, "Okay! You're not a three-year-old! Then let's think about it fairly, he clearly knows that as long as he gives you a promise, even if it makes you wait for ten or eight years, it will be from hell to heaven for you! But he didn't even dare to give you such a promise! Why? He was afraid! I'm afraid that even a little mistake will affect his good prospects for promotion and fortune! And," he sneered, "he's afraid of you too!" He doesn't believe you'll love him for anything else! He can't understand people like you at all! He is afraid that you will turn against him and threaten him in the future, because he knows best in his heart that he will not give you anything! ”

Xiao Min's tears flowed, she couldn't hold back any longer, and hit Hongming hard to grab her hand tightly, crying: "Let go!" I want to go home! ”

Hongming must be hard-hearted, he said unrelentingly: "He usually makes a pitiful appearance to you, how do you know that he didn't live lovingly with his wife when he returned home!?" He hangs on you, sees you suffering, but refuses to do anything for you, where is his sincerity for you? He became a successful entrepreneur, a good husband and a good father, what has become of your life?! ”

Then, he brutally concluded, "Is this also called love? Perhaps, the love between Jian Xiaomin and the vampire. ”

Xiao Min couldn't speak, only felt cold.

Hongming took her hand: "Xiaomin, look at your skinny!" Thanks to your youth, but if you continue like this, no matter how young you are, it's useless! You're going to get sick, maybe fatally. Don't be stupid, vampires will naturally have ghost hunters to take him down, you are not a ghost hunter, don't force yourself. ”

Xiao Min whimpered, "Hongming, he's not that kind of person, he'll be with me." ”

Hongming's voice softened, "Why don't you go and ask him?" ”

Why didn't Xiao Min want to ask him? However, she chose to wait for him to speak, because she was afraid that if she did ask, he would stay away from her. She just waited for him to speak. Perhaps, she actually knew in her heart that Hongming's words were right, and he didn't really love her.

He wouldn't give up, "Who else knows about this?" ”

She bowed her head, "I've never told anyone. ”

He looked at her in surprise, "Just what you've been enduring in your heart?" ”

She doesn't speak.

He asked, "Why don't you tell someone?" You're going to feel a lot better. ”

She still didn't speak.

He couldn't believe it, "Are you afraid that people will say it and hurt his reputation?" ”

Her tears welled up again.

His eyes were full of pity, "How did you survive these two years?" ”

She only shed tears, as a party, he didn't know Hongming who met for the first time.

He pulled her to his side and sighed, "Is there anyone like you in the world?" ”

Xiao Min struggled, "I'm going home." ”

He didn't seem to hear, took off his coat, wrapped her, and pulled her to sit down, "Very aggrieved, isn't it?" Tell me about it, I promise not to tell anyone else. Then he touched her black hair and said, "I know, it's not just the heart that hurts, but the internal organs are all broken, right?" I saw it at first glance. ”

The pain that had been accumulated in her heart for a long time suddenly found an outlet at this time, Xiao Min couldn't explain or control herself, and cried bitterly in front of this almost stranger.

Hongming hugged her shoulders and told her to rest her head on him, saying nothing, crying as if her heart was broken.

Xiao Min didn't know how long she had been crying, as if all her strength had flowed out with her tears, she only felt so weak that she was about to faint.

But Hongming supported her like a big tree and didn't let her fall.
