88. Missed
On the night of Liu Meiting and Shi Lei's engagement ceremony, Gao Zijian drove me to the wilderness, avoiding the Liu family, who were looking for Shi Lei in the city, in order to confirm to me once again here, whether I was willing to give Shi Lei another chance.
"You got in touch with Shi Lei?" I pretended to be okay and asked in a faint voice.
"Well, he looked for me last night."
"Gao Zijian, you went crazy all night today, just to help Shi Lei ask me this?" I looked at Gao Zijian with some unwillingness and asked.
Gao Zijian didn't speak, which was a tacit acquiescence. Just now I was overjoyed by the little word "jealousy" in his mouth, and at this moment, my heart was instantly defeated.
"It seems that Mr. Gao asked me to come here to talk for so long, just to make up for the misunderstanding caused by Shi Leihe not taking the initiative to inform me of the reason when he broke up last time, it's really hard, Gao Dashuai." I try to make my tone as light as possible and pretend not to be sad.
Gao Zijian is too good at pretending, no, I have my own fantasies, so I think he might like me.
"You don't seem to have any excuses." I looked at Gao Zijian and asked.
Gao Zijian turned his face, glanced at me lightly, his lips moved, and he turned his face away.
If Shi Lei suddenly disappeared at tonight's engagement ceremony, then the first person he was looking for might be me, Gao Zijian didn't take me to Liu Meiting's ceremony, in addition to knowing that Shi Lei wouldn't be there early on, would there be a trace of worry, for example, worry, Liu Meiting embarrassed me?
"Gao Zijian, thank you." My voice is a little hoarse, thank you for telling me how stupid I am.
"Hey, thank me for what, just be happy." Gao Zijian waved his hand, still looking out the window.
"Ha, you just said that Li Shu asked you to hide it, so you didn't tell me that Shi Lei gave up his career and became the son-in-law of a wealthy family for me, right?" Why should I be speechless?
Or, I can understand that Li Shu knows that Gao Zijian likes me, so he thinks Gao Zijian should hide it from me?
"Is there one?" Gao Zijian shook his head.
"Maybe I'm mistaken," I smiled awkwardly and said, "You took such pains to help me, I almost misunderstood." ”
"Huh?" Gao Zijian turned his head, stared at me with peach blossom eyes, and asked, "What is the misunderstanding?" ”
"What else can I do, I misunderstood that you liked me, and now it seems that I am the one who misunderstood!"
"Chen Xiaojia, won't you hate me?" Gao Zijian looked at me and said, "That time at the train station, I ......"
Gao Zijian actually showed a guilty face, I was not mistaken, right?
"Don't worry, I'm forgetful!" I shook my head, glanced at the time, and said, "Since you and Shi Lei have made an appointment, now, are you going to take me over?" ”
Gao Zijian glanced over, and I looked at his clenched fists, and suddenly felt very lost.
"Chen Xiaojia, what if...... I mean, if I say, I think you're pretty good, and you think we're a good fit, you...... Would you like to ......?"
A truck whizzed past us, and I looked at Gao Zijian's shaking lips, but I couldn't hear his words.
"What did you just say? I didn't hear it! I looked at Gao Zijian nervously and said.
Gao Zijian's Adam's apple shook twice, I don't know if he was nervous, I watched his lips move twice, and said, "Chen Xiaojia, I'll tell you honestly, actually, I ......"
Before Gao Zijian finished speaking, my mobile phone rang impatiently. I looked down and saw that the phone call was actually from Liu Meiting.
I thought about it and pressed the reject button.
Turning his face to look at Gao Zijian, his phone also rang, and I watched him press answer.
"Well...... With me, yes, where are you now? ”
It was Shi Lei who called. Gao Zijian handed me the phone and asked me to answer it.
"Xiaojia, I'll wait for you in the old place, if you don't come, I'll jump from here." Shi Lei's voice was hoarse, as if he was drinking.
"Shi Lei, you ......" Before I finished speaking, the phone had already hung up.
What does he mean? Where is he going to jump from?
Shi Lei...... Shi Lei said he wanted to jump? Gao Zijian, do you know where he is talking about? I clutched the phone nervously, and I was at a loss.
Shi Lei has always been a young man, could it be that he is going to commit suicide!
"Don't worry, what did he just say?" Gao Zijian held my hand and signaled me not to be nervous.
He said he was going to jump! Gao Zijian, the third generation of his family, he ...... He won't ......"
"Don't be nervous, Leizi is just too stressed, think about it, where might he be now...... Don't be nervous......"
Shi Lei is talking about the old place, and he also said jumping down, is it ......
After Gao Zijian heard me tell me the location, he helped me fasten my seat belt, stepped on the accelerator, and rushed straight over.
By the moat, Daben braked suddenly, I hurriedly rushed out, found that the seat belt was not unfastened, and was about to untie it, Gao Zijian's hand quickly stretched out, raised his head to look at me, and said, "Untie." ”
I nodded, pushed the door open, and ran straight towards the moat.
Last time, I was here, Shi Lei knelt on the ground in order to break up with me, and this time......
The cool breeze of the night swept across my face, and I couldn't help but shiver, and there were only a few street lights around, flickering on and off.
I ran forward in a hurry, but my arm was tightly pulled by Gao Zijian. He said: "There are some places in front of the hard manhole cover that are broken, be careful! ”
I nodded, and walked with him towards the moat. Looking up, there were few figures in the dark night sky, my palms were full of sweat, and when I thought of what Shi Lei said, I jumped down, and my temples suddenly lifted.
Am I refusing to be too direct? He gave up so much, I shouldn't have been so ruthless!
"There it is!" Gao Zijian pointed ahead and said loudly.
I looked up, and sure enough, I saw Shi Lei standing by the moat, looking down at the river. Because I was in too much of a hurry, I directly called Shi Lei's name.
After Shi Lei heard my voice, he replied hoarsely: "Xiao Jia! ”
I immediately raised my leg forward, took a step, and looked back behind me, Gao Zijian looked at me indifferently and said, "Go ahead." ”
I nodded and ran straight over. It wasn't until he was two steps away from Shi Lei that he heard Shi Lei say, "Xiaojia, I can't live without you." ”
"Shi Lei, you come down first, let's talk slowly, okay?" I saw that Shi Lei's leg had already straddled the moat, and my heart was about to jump out of my throat, "Even if you don't want to be yourself, think about Auntie, he can't live without you." ”
Shi Lei's originally calm face suddenly became excited when he heard "Auntie", and said: "Xiao Jia, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have listened to her, I shouldn't have betrayed the relationship between us, Xiao Jia, are you willing to forgive me?" ”
"I've forgiven you a long time ago, Shi Lei, can you come down?" I stepped forward, and Shi Lei's arm was raised, signaling me not to approach.
His eyes looked under the bridge, and his whole face was written with decadence, and said: "Xiaojia, when I was in college, you often asked me, why don't you want to take you home to meet my mother, in fact, I also want to, but I'm afraid, Xiaojia, the whole town knows that my dad ran away with Xiaosan when I was eight years old, and my mom led me to grow up alone, and she ...... She's really bitter. ”
It turns out that the reason why Shi Lei hasn't taken me to his house is because of this?
"That year, I was ten years old, still in elementary school, on the way home, I saw people in the town pointing at me, in fact, I was used to it, after all, everyone knew that my dad had an affair, for me and my mom, he had already died in front of this person, I thought it was already very bad, but I didn't expect to come home, I saw my mom sitting there, crying silently. My dad died, and died with that mistress in the place where they lived. ”
I looked at Shi Lei in surprise and found that his face had never experienced the vicissitudes of life, when we were in love, I found that he always had a sadness in his eyes, and now I suddenly understood that Shi Lei's experience was so sad.
"Xiaojia, before I met you, my heart was dead, study hard, become the best of my peers, be a low-key person, and gain the favor of teachers and classmates, so that she can be satisfied, originally I thought I had done enough, but I didn't expect that she would force me."
"Shi Lei ......"
"Xiao Jia, I admit that I was with Liu Meiting with a purpose, I admit that I betrayed the relationship between us, I always wanted to live for her before, and now, I want to live for myself once," Shi Lei looked at me, his collar moved slightly in the cool breeze, "Xiao Jia, are you willing to give me a chance?" ”
I looked at Shi Lei's eyes, his black eyes showed despair when he was talking about the first half of his life in a few words just now, but at this moment, he looked at me with a hint of hope.
"I ......"
Shi Lei was so bitter, he rarely smiled when he was with me at first, some classmates said that he was a good-looking face, and later, his smile gradually became more, and he never told me anything about his family, so ...... I don't know, he has his own problems.
"Xiao Jia, I know, you won't forgive me," Shi Lei looked at me, slowly turned around, lowered his head, looked at the river, and said, "I myself feel that I don't have any meaning in living." ”
"Don't!" I rushed forward in a hurry, grabbed Shi Lei's arm, and said, "You don't want to die, I don't allow you to die." ”
Shi Lei's arms were also wrapped around my body, his breath swayed on my forehead, and I heard him say, "Xiaojia, I can't live without you." ”
Fate sometimes really likes to play tricks, give you a slap, and reward you with a sweetness, in the end I thought that many things were back to square one, but I didn't know that I couldn't go back.
