Uncle Zeng in Shanghai took in me, a spiritual refugee who had fled from L City, at the beginning of the summer vacation.

He was in his forties, a talkative middle-aged man, who came to the station to pick him up, took my suitcase all the way to the parking lot, threw it into the back of the car, and snapped it shut: "Beware of the grip on the hand!" "

I was stunned, and he laughed: "Xiaozhuang is the same as Lao Zhuang back then, deep!" "

I smiled reluctantly, I couldn't tell him that the daughter of an old classmate had traveled hundreds of miles to take refuge because she had lost her love.

"How's your dad doing?" He asked me in the car.

"It's good." I want to say, "It's just very busy." "

"You're a good drinker, aren't you?"

"Sometimes."

"Do you and your mother care about him?"

"I can't control it, and I can't help it."

"Look, your aunt, when did that person in my family have this enlightenment, I will be Amitabha." He turned the steering wheel, the car drove up the elevated road, and the city outside the window was strange and boundless, so prosperous, but it was my penal colony.

I met Zhuo He before the holiday, and the latter walked around me, and I chased after him to stop him.

Zhuo He looked at me helplessly: "Zhuang Ning is sorry, I didn't expect ...... that day"

"He's going to say that he's going to say it sooner or later, and it's none of your business. I just want to know, who is she? "

Zhuo He smiled nervously: "I don't know either. "

"He said it's from your class, Zhuohe, I don't do bad things, I don't splash her with sulfuric acid, I'm just curious, she's prettier than me? Or excellent? Or is there no such person at all? Shen Sibo, does he have something to hide from me? "

You see, I still maintained an unswerving romantic idea until that time, just like some idol dramas, the male protagonist may have some unavoidable hardships.

"Yes, yes, they've been together for almost half a year." Zhuo He replied slowly: "Only you don't know, why do you know?" "

...... "Very good, Zhuang Ning, you see Zhuo He is about to be tortured to death by your stupidity and ignorance, he is so embarrassed, looking at you melancholy, he is just an outsider."

I was depressed, and my heart was cold: "Okay, thank you." "

I looked at the scenery and suddenly remembered: "By the way, Uncle Zeng, my friend lives in Minhang, is it far away from the law firm?" "

"Yuan, if you meet, it is better to meet on the street."

"No, I have to stay with her."

"Say what? Stay in my house. "

"Oh no, it's too much trouble......"

"What's the trouble." Uncle Zeng couldn't help but say, "My niece came to Shanghai to let her live outside?" Jokes. My son and daughter are at home on vacation, and after a while, the son of another of our old classmates may also come over, we can't get together for the old, so let you get together and be more lively. "

It would be hypocritical for him to say this, no matter how polite I am. In fact, I didn't have a chance to be polite at all, because this uncle was still continuing: "Speaking of the three of us, me, your father, and your Uncle Qi, when I was in L University, it was ......"

He pouted, his own youth, that is always irreproducible, and the beauty is difficult to talk to you.

I snorted in a low-key way.

What is the surname is not good, the surname Qi.

I still remember that night and mind it very much.

For a long time in the summer of 2002, Qi Xiang said that he hurt his self-esteem.

For example, chatting in the forum chat room, chatting with Fu Hui and others is speculating, and sharing the online, I will hide it, leaving Fu Hui there and muttering to himself in wonder: "Zhuang Xiaomei? Zhuang Xiaomei? Just after being online, why did the stinger disappear? --Hey, you're here? "

For example, if he called me, I didn't answer anything.

We talked about this later, and he said, Zhuang Ning, you were crying and shivering on the phone at the time, and as soon as I heard you speak, I knew that you were drunk, I don't want to bother with this, okay?

I don't remember a word of what he said, but I remember that it was on the road, and he came over, and the two of us mixed together with the faint smell of tobacco in our mouths.

You just talk nonsense, why should I call you, why don't I call my mother?

He looked at me, and indeed you didn't call me.

Shen Sibo's number was the first to be called, and Qi Xiang's was the first to be dialed, and that night, when my whole body was cold from being stimulated by alcohol on dog days, I said to the phone, Shen Sibo, I'm so cold.

I came to Shanghai for more than a week before I met Luo Ting, a long-lost classmate, in a café on the famous West Nanjing Road.

There is no need to repeat this scene, it is common in the story, sofa sunshine and old music. Luo Ting sat across from me, the two of us came out of the joy of reunion, and now we are back to our hearts, both lazy, she asked, "How did you think of coming here for an internship?" "

"I'm glad to be, I haven't been here."

"And where do you live?"

"That uncle's house."

"Can you live?"

"It's a two-story building."

She muttered, "Rich man." "

"yes."

"Your dad's old classmate?"

"Well, but if my dad lives in a western-style building and drives a Mercedes-Benz, then the matter is a big deal, wait for others to check the door."

"As for it?"

"Civil servants are like this, the grassroots bar is very boring, and it is easy to get mixed up with the top level at a great age, and if you don't do it well, you will make trouble again."

She smiled: "By the way, speaking of civil servants, do you know that Senior Brother Qi has resigned?" "

"I don't know."

She didn't pay attention to my tone: "He's really ...... Alas, how can I say it, I dare to do it, and I can't compete for a position that no number of people can compete for......"

I bottomed out with a drink, the straw was deflated and biting, and I said vaguely: "Luo Ting, you don't have feelings for him, right?" "

"Say what?" She denied it, but after a few seconds she asked, "Do you see that?" "

"What do you think?"

She paused, and said slowly, "If you like it, you can't talk about it, worship it—but don't say that there is no choice, even if there is, I don't think I will choose him." "

"That's right." I breathed a sigh of relief: "This person is actually not good

......"

"Really solemn." She probably didn't listen to what I said: "I struggled for a while, but then I thought about it, how tiring it is to like someone, especially if he doesn't like you much." "

"Well, I have a lot of gains and losses, and my nerves are tense."

"Yes, if you care too much, you can't be calm, you are too humble for a while, and you are too self-respecting for a while, who can stand such emotionality? So you see, people generally rarely can be with the one they love the most, but generally love, easy to last forever, this is a very fatal paradox, but we. "

She shrugged her shoulders and looked through the red dust in a special manner: "There is nothing you can do." "

I leaned back in my chair and endured a sudden burst of intense heartache. Yes, love is so capricious and ridiculous, just now everyone here, when it comes to it, about everyone has fallen for it.

There is a young and graceful woman, with black hair in a simple bun, wearing a white sleeveless shirt, a glass of mist in front of her, facing a notebook, flying on her fingers on the keyboard, occasionally stopping, smiling and sighing alone.

There are men and women who seem to be on a blind date, stirring the liquid in the cup, communicating with each other in a measured and reserved manner, and nodding their heads in cooperation with each other.

There were three or five confidants and friends, talking happily, occasionally laughing, and then glancing apologetically around, and then lowering their voices.

In fact, there are couples who come together to see the menu.

But I think of how tranquil they are at this time, but they may all be like me, they have or will survive such a difficult period or two, and even if they do, there will be a gap in their hearts. This lack is hidden in sensual pleasure, hidden in rushing life, hidden in the long years, but has always been a faint pain, at that time, I never believed that it could be cured.

For the next two weeks, there was nothing else worth mentioning other than the hot weather. Uncle Zeng himself was busy, and I followed a lawyer surnamed Li in his law firm.

The latter is forty miles away, and the person is quite polite. He and I brought a total of three assistants, two except me, a man and a woman, both of whom had graduated for more than a year, passed the exam, and were waiting to get their licenses.

I'm a sophomore summer student, in this case, there is almost no opportunity to contact the business, very idle, can only read books and gossip for fun, originally thought that these two assistants of the opposite sex get along day and night, the beauty of the man and the woman, something has to happen, but from the daily point of view, not only no, these two people are still very wrong.

The reason is quite simple, the man thinks that Lawyer Li gave all the internship opportunities to the girl, and he complained in private, yes, what can I do with it, I am willing, but my girlfriend is not willing to do it.

He also said that he leaked his mouth and immediately regretted it, so I could only pretend that I didn't hear anything.

The girl was also very unimpressed with him, and after smiling, she turned her face to us and said, I hate men who are not promising, do not examine themselves, and chirp crookedly and complain.

Although I am not a simple and fragile girl, but in the face of such a situation, I am really frightened and speechless, and I think that the workplace drama is almost gorgeous to this point, and it is not a harem, I would rather die if I don't fight?
