Yuan Peng had been standing next to Minting, took off the pager hanging on his waist, looked at the time, and said, "Okay, we can go, otherwise we will sleep on the street." Min Ting stood up and walked on the side, walking a lot of hostels, most of which were closed near the factory, and they didn't know where to go. Min Ting stood in front of Yuan Peng, looking at Yuan Peng standing in front of her, but she didn't say a word, just smiled silently.

"Don't worry, I will never let you sleep on the street," Yuan Peng said very resolutely as he looked at Min Ting in front of him. Min Ting stood on tiptoe and kissed Yuan Peng's lips, which made Yuan Peng stunned for a moment, his face was flushed, and he looked at the night again, it was pitch black, and there were only a few lights on both sides of the road. Yuan Peng walked out, stood under the street lamp on the side of the road, stood on the side of the road and looked left and right, and called a taxi, Yuan Peng first escorted Minting to get into the taxi, and then sat on the co-pilot seat, and asked the driver: "Is there accommodation there is still a door?" ”

"You can't find accommodation, can you?"

Yuan Peng just nodded and said, "The hostels here are all closed." ”

"Yes, at this time, the hostels near the factory are closed, and I will take you to a place that is open 24 hours a day."

They took a taxi to the 24-hour hostel. If you meet a confidant, how can you be without wine, a pot of sake and a drunk, drunk to talk about life, how bitter life is. The two sat on the side of the bed, looking at Minting's eyes with tears, it was not easy for her to go all the way, and she unconsciously lay on the bed and fell asleep. Yuan Peng sat aside, looked at Min Ting who was asleep, got up and stood in front of the window, took out the pager, and saw Xiaowei's several calls and messages on the pager, and said, "Yuan Peng, what are you doing?" Yuan Peng sat on the side and watched the news, until now Yuan Peng still loves Xiaowei deeply, and he still misses her, after that emotional setback, they have not talked on the phone, and there has been no news about Xiaowei since then, it is like the two have cut off contact, but Yuan Peng still thinks about Xiaowei, so he has been thinking in his heart, he can't be sorry for Xiaowei because of this, even if his dedication to Xiaowei is a fantasy, he has paid in vain. His relationship with Min Ting was short-lived, like a flash in the pan.

One morning, Yuan Peng and Min Ting went to Huang Lei's house, and introduced Min Ting to work in this factory that day, and moved her luggage into the door of the girls' dormitory. When he went to work the next day, Yuan Peng had been sitting on top of his post and had been frowning. Until the end of work, Yuan Peng and Huang Lei walked on the road.

"Yuan Peng, what do you think of Min Ting? I see you two have a good conversation. ”

Yuan Peng and Huang Lei walked and sat on the stones next to the road. Yuan Peng raised his head to face Huang Lei who was sitting in front of him, and said, "Huang Lei, I always feel guilty with Min Ting, I'm sorry Xiaowei." ”

"But Xiaowei has rejected you, you are over, what do you feel guilty about?"

"I think that loving someone has to be done from the beginning, not half-heartedly, whether Xiaowei accepts it or not, I have to love someone without it, and I don't want to wait until I hurt Minting later. I know that Minting and I are friends and confidants, and I haven't told her that I'm afraid of hurting her. ”

"I can't interfere with the feelings of yours, so you should handle it yourself," Huang Lei sighed again after speaking, and got up and stood on the bank of the Qingshui River. Yuan Peng stood up and followed, looking at the autumn water flowing eastward in the river, and the fallen leaves fluttering.

A week later, Yuan Peng asked Min Ting out, and they didn't say a word on the road, and Yuan Peng kept walking in front, Min Ting followed behind, and the two were like strangers. They stood in front of a drink shop, and then the two of them entered and found a place to sit down. Yuan Peng stood in front of Minting, pulled out a chair, and asked Minting to sit down first. After Minting sat down, he sat opposite her. After Yuan Peng sat down, he looked at Min Ting who was sitting in front of him and said, "Min Ting, what do you drink?" Today, Min Ting had a lot of things to say to him in her heart, but she swallowed it back, just sat quietly in front of Yuan Peng, was silent for a while, and said, "Yuan Peng, what's wrong with you today?" Didn't say a word to me along the way. ”

"I've always had a sentence to say to you, but I don't know how to say it to you, and I've been pondering it while I'm on the road." Seeing Yuan Peng's embarrassed appearance, Min Ting faced Yuan Peng with a serious face, and said: "If you have anything to say, you can just say it, you don't have to hide everything, so I am not used to it." ”

"Let's be ordinary friends, it's not appropriate for us to be together."

"That's what you want to say to me."

Yuan Peng just nodded and said, "I also made such a decision after thinking twice. ”

"Well, since you're all like this, it's superfluous for me to stay," he said, then got up and turned to walk out. Yuan Peng chased out the hand that grabbed Min Ting, and said, "Min Ting," and then looked at Min Ting's eyes, with tears in the corners of his eyes, and said: "Yuan Peng, I can see you clearly today, I thought I had found a place to rely on to entrust me for life, it turns out that you are such a person." ”

"Min Ting, I also have unspeakable hardships, I hope you can understand, although I like you a lot and want to be with you, but I can't do this," Yuan Peng's words were not finished, Min Ting bypassed Yuan Peng and left, Yuan Peng chased forward and grabbed her hand, Min Ting turned around and yelled, "Don't touch me." Then he walked to the side of the road, hailed a taxi, got in the car and left. Then Yuan Peng got into another taxi and said, "Catch up with the taxi in front." After Yuan Peng got in, the taxi chased after the taxi in front of him, but he lost it at the intersection. The taxi stopped on the side of the road at the intersection, and the driver turned to face Yuan Peng and said, "What are you two making a fuss." Yuan Peng just nodded, didn't say a word, and after a long time, Yuan Peng said: "Let's go back to Chengda Electronics Factory." The taxi turned around and drove through the intersection to the Chengda Power Plant, parked at the door of the living area, Yuan Peng got off the car and walked into the living area very slowly, looked back again, and entered his bedroom. At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, Min Ting returned to the living area, entered the dormitory and began to pack her luggage, her roommate stood aside and looked at Min Ting, and said, "Min Ting, aren't you going to do it here?" ”

"Well, I'm quitting and leaving Shanghai."

After Minting packed her luggage, she walked out of her bedroom and lined up on the side of the phone booth to call Huang Lei. After a long time, he walked into the phone booth and picked up the phone to dial his number, and after a while, Huang Lei answered the phone and said, "Hey." ”

"Huang Lei, come out quickly, I'll invite you to dinner." Today, Minting actually invited Huang Lei to dinner, this is the first time Huang Lei also felt very strange, so he asked: "Minting, what happened?" ”

"We'll talk when we meet."

"Do you want to call Yuan Peng, let's do it together."

"No need, just you and your sister-in-law."

After Minting finished speaking, she hung up the phone, walked out of the phone booth, walked out of the living area with her luggage, and stood at the door of the old place waiting for the arrival of Huang Lei and Mengjie. Huang Lei pushed the bicycle out of the community, and Mengjie sat sideways behind Huang Lei, hugging his waist, looking very affectionate. Huang Lei rode his bicycle to the commercial street near the factory, looked at Minting who was standing at the door of the old place, put a duffel bag next to him, parked the bicycle aside, walked forward with Mengjie, and said, "Minting, you are leaving." ”

"Well, I'm leaving this sad place."

"You quarreled with Yuan Peng."

"Don't mention him, let's go up and eat first."

"Now that you're out, where are you staying tonight?" Let's help you find a place to live first, it's basically closed at one o'clock in the middle of the night, and I'm afraid you won't even have a place to live. Huang Lei and Meng Jie led Minting into a hostel, entered the room, and put the luggage on the side of the bed. After Huang Lei sat down, he lay down on the bed with his hands outstretched, and said, "Oh, it's so comfortable, daughter-in-law, when are we going to go out for a romantic time?" ”

"What nonsense are you talking about? Min Ting is still beside her, so hurry down. ”

"It's okay, you guys are romantic with yours, just I didn't hear it," Min Ting sat on the side and laughed a few times.

"It's not romantic, old man, let's go down to eat." The three of them went downstairs together, walked to the door of the old place, went up the stairs and entered, found a place to sit down, and first brought two or two soaks of wine. Min Ting raised her glass and said, "Huang Lei, come, let's dry this glass of wine." Huang Lei raised his wine glasses and touched each other, and drank the glass of wine in one gulp. The waiter stepped forward, stood aside and said, "How many people, what kind of dishes do you order?" Then handing out the menu, Min Ting pushed the menu in front of Mengjie and said, "Sister-in-law, you can order whatever you want, I have a treat today." "If Min Ting lived in ancient times, she must be a heroine among women, a heroine, and a bold nature, maybe the customs of every place and every place are different, Xiaowei and her have common characteristics, this is Lao Qin. After three rounds of drinking, Minting held her heavy head with one hand and began to cry, perhaps thinking of her sad things. Huang Lei glanced at Meng Jie, who was sitting next to him, Meng Jie handed out a tissue and said, "Minting." Minting took the tissue in Mengjie's hand and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law." ”

"I can see Yuan Peng clearly, this person has no sense of responsibility, a hypocrite who is hypocritical. Do you know what he said to me today? He told me that it was not appropriate for us to be together, let's be an ordinary friend," Min Ting said and shed tears, then took out a tissue to wipe away the tears on both sides, and choked up: "Okay, don't talk about this, come, let's drink." ”

Huang Lei put down the wine glass in front of him, looked at Min Ting sitting in front of him, and said, "Min Ting, would you like to listen to me say a few words?" ”

"Say it."

"Actually, you misunderstand Yuan Peng, although he is an expert at work and can achieve great things, I am not as good as him, but he is a fool in terms of feelings, his emotional intelligence is almost zero, and he can't deal with personal feelings, he is not as good as me. I absolutely believe that Yuan Peng is a single-minded person, but he is not good at expressing himself. Before you, I wanted to introduce my cousin to him, and you know that my cousin's vision is very high, and he actually doesn't look down on him, so seeing that he is disheartened, he thought of introducing you to him, how can he know that he has a deep affection for my cousin and is worried about hurting you, so he said these words to you," After finishing speaking, he drank this glass of wine in one gulp.

"He said he had unspeakable grievances because of that alone."
