Chapter 34: Breaking Up

Under Jiajia's care, the man's health is much better and he can go to work normally. The man took off the key given to him by Liu Li and put it in an inconspicuous drawer in the company, and rushed home every day after work to buy vegetables and cook. Jiajia didn't seem to have much reaction, and would still chat with him, but she didn't have her usual smile. The man tentatively asked her what she said to Ajima, Jiajia's face sank, and he glared at the man, and the man was afraid that Jiajia would be angry, so he didn't dare to ask again.

A month passed, and the man gradually returned to normal from his panic, and the days seemed to be business as usual.

On this day, the man followed Brother Fan to talk about a real estate SMS advertisement, with an income of about 60,000 yuan. Brother Fan was very happy, returned to the company to rest for a while, and proposed that everyone have dinner in the evening, and let the man be called Jiajia. The man walked down the hallway and called Jiajia.

"Hey, Jiajia, what time do you get off work?"

"6 o'clock, what's wrong?"

"Jiajia, we talked about a business today, guess how much?"

"Not interested." Jiajia said coldly.

The man has recently become accustomed to Jiajia's tone, and he was not surprised, still laughing and saying, "Sixty thousand yuan!" Brother Fan said that the profit would be half. ”

"Oh." Jiajia didn't have any happy emotions.

The man continued: "Brother Fan said that we will have a meal together in the evening, and we will pick you up later." ”

"No need, I asked my colleague to have dinner in the evening, you can eat."

"Oh!" The man was a little disappointed, although he expected Jiajia to refuse, but he was still a little disappointed, "Then what time will you go home?" ”

"It's late, and we're going to go shopping after eating."

"Oh, then you go home early and stay safe."

"Well, you guys have fun, don't be in a hurry to come back."

Hanging up the phone, the man walked back to the office.

Brother Fan was happily chatting with An An, and when he saw the man coming in, he hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, what time are you going to pick up your wife?" ”

The man smiled awkwardly and said, "No need, she has an appointment for the evening, let's eat." ”

Brother Fan teased and said: "You have to be optimistic about your daughter-in-law, people are socializing more and more now, haha." Let's go, let's eat! ”

Brother Fan took Nan Nan and An An to a kebab shop, and called a few friends, and a group of people were happy to eat and drink. Although men and men are also staggered, they have never been able to be happy from the bottom of their hearts. Without Jiajia, he always felt that something was missing. But his unrelenting spirit did not affect the mood of the other people, who fought and drank, and drank round after round on the ground until 12 o'clock at night, and then dispersed. Brother Fan drove the man downstairs before leaving.

The man didn't drink well, Brother Fan was a little anxious to drive, and as soon as he got out of the car, the man felt nauseous and almost vomited. He squatted downstairs for a while before he got up and climbed upstairs, and by the seventh floor he was exhausted and out of breath. Afraid that Jiajia would blame himself, he leaned against the wall at the door and slowed down, shaking his spirits for a while, before taking out the key to open the door and enter the house. The man looked at it, the lights in the house were all out, and it seemed that Brother Yu's family had also rested; Ajma hadn't been back to her rental room since that night, and her door was locked. The man quietly walked to the door of his house, pushed, the door was locked, he opened the door, and saw through the moonlight outside the window that there was no one in the house, cough, why didn't Jiajia come home so late? The man's heart was a little unhappy.

He turned on the light and saw that the quilt on the bed was still neatly folded as it had been when he had left in the morning. The man sat on the bed with his butt and rested against the quilt. Suddenly, he noticed that there was one less pillow on the bed, and in the morning there were two pillows on the bed, and what about the other? The man sat up and looked around, completely dumbfounded.

The messy table in the past is now clean, and Jiajia's cosmetics, skin care products, small dolls, etc. are all gone; He opened the drawer, and Jiajia's photo frame, notebook, and jewelry box were all gone; He turned and opened the closet, and the clothes that had been stuffed to the brim were now hanging coldly with only a small portion of the man's hand, most of which were empty......

The man was completely blinded, and he stood in the middle of the room, his head blank. Ten minutes passed, and the man woke up a little from his confusion, he opened the door, walked to the living room, and looked around blindly, as if trying to find some clues and solve the mystery in front of him. At this time, the door of the big bedroom opened, and Brother Yu walked out with confused eyes.

"Man, you're back, what's going on in the afternoon?"

The man looked at Brother Yu and asked, "Afternoon?" What's wrong? ”

Brother Yu rubbed his eyes and said: "In the afternoon, Jiajia came back to move and moved a lot of things, I thought you wouldn't rent it, so I asked Jiajia, she said that her mother was going to come to Beijing to live for a while, and she was going to live with you, so she was afraid that it would be bad to be seen, so she wanted to go out and live by herself." ”

The man's face was surprised, and Brother Yu was even more surprised when he saw the man's expression, "You don't know, right?" ”

The man said, "Oh, I...... She told me before, I seem to have forgotten. ”

Brother Yu saw that something was wrong with the man, but he didn't want to ask anything, so he went to the toilet and went back to the house to sleep.

The man returned to his house, grabbed his mobile phone and called Jiajia, and there was a prompt on the phone that "the phone you made has been turned off". The man dialed many times in a row, but he couldn't get through, and he had to give up. After sitting on the bed for a few minutes, the man couldn't help it and called Pan Pan.

The phone rang several times but no one answered, and at this time normal people were already asleep. The man was about to hang up the phone, when a voice came from the receiver that he was obviously not awake: "Hey? Male male? ”

"Oh, Pan Pan, I'm really sorry, I'm in a bit of a hurry to ask you, did Jiajia call you?"

"Jiajia. No, what's wrong with her? ”

The man said anxiously: "I had dinner with the client tonight, and now I just came back, but I found that she was gone." ”

"Gone? What is the meaning? ”

"When I came home, I found that all her things were gone, she must have moved, and I wanted to ask if you know where she moved?"

Pan Pan's voice was obviously sober, "Man, what happened, with my understanding of Jiajia, she doesn't make a decision easily, and once she makes a decision, the nine cows can't pull it back." ”

The man sighed, he didn't know Jiajia's temper!

"You cheated?" Pan Pan asked straight to the point.

The man was speechless for a while. Without waiting for the man to explain, Pan Pan continued: "Man, for so many years, you know how dedicated Jiajia is to her feelings, you say every day that I am picky about love, but in fact, Jiajia is the real perfectionist, she can't withstand a little betrayal." ”

The man listened silently. He didn't know what to say, and he didn't need to justify anything. Pan Pan knew both of them very well, and although the man didn't say anything, Pan Pan still deduced what happened in an instant.

"Man, why are you cheating?"

The man lowered his head with tears of remorse on his face, he sobbed and said intermittently, "I don't know either, I ...... I really don't know, but it's really not what Jiajia thinks, we didn't live together, and I didn't cheat...... I had dinner alone with a girl twice, and I didn't tell Jiajia for fear that she would be angry, but that's about it...... Never again......"

Pan Pan listened quietly and said nothing. After the man finished speaking incoherently, Pan Pan sighed and said, "Ahem, what are you asking me to say about you...... Your eight-year relationship can't withstand the temptation of three minutes? The man lay on the bed and couldn't cry. In this case, Pan Pan didn't know what to say, "Okay, you can rest early, I'll help you ask these days, I'll let you know if there's news." ”

After a sleepless night, the man finally survived until dawn. Just after 8 o'clock, the man couldn't wait to grab his mobile phone and dial the landline number of Jiajia's mother's house. The phone rang, and a middle-aged man's voice came: "Who?" ”

The man was a little surprised, but he reacted that this should be Jiajia's father. "Uncle, I'm Du Nannan."

"Oh, man, what's the urgency to call so early?"

The man regretted his recklessness a little, because listening to Jiajia's father's tone, he shouldn't have known what was going on. The man hesitated, and Jiajia's father explained first: "Oh, Jiajia's mother has been getting worse and worse recently, and I happened to come on a business trip, so I will stay for a few days by the way and take care of her mother." ”

The man controlled his emotions and said as calmly as possible: "Oh, uncle, did Jiajia talk about going home or something recently?" ”

"No, I called last week and said I had found a new job."

"New job? What did the unit say? The man asked anxiously.

"Hmm...... She didn't say specifically, it seemed to be a medium, and I didn't remember it. What's wrong? You don't know that she changed jobs? ”

"Oh, no...... It's okay uncle, I'm hanging. ”

The man's mind was in turmoil. He tried hard to recall every detail of Jiajia recently, hoping to find some clues, but he didn't seem to have a clue. He suddenly hated Jiajia very much, is there anything between them that can't be solved by face-to-face communication? Does it have to be that way to punish him?

The man slammed the table hard, and the punch was so hard that the bookcase behind the desk shook for a while. Suddenly, with a bang, a small object fell out of a corner of the cabinet, smashed on the table, and bounced to the floor. The man bent down and saw a small ring full of dust.

The man crouched down, picked up the dirty little ring, and wiped it clean with the corner of the sheet, revealing a cute little dolphin. This is a gift that the man and Jia Jia bought for Jiajia when they first rented the east gate of the Olympic Stadium, one dollar.

He looked at this inferior little dolphin ring in plastic, and couldn't help but think of Jiajia's cute smiling face in his mind; The days when they studied together at school and ate small hot pot together at roadside stalls emerged; They pedaled a tricycle to sell mooncakes together; Jiajia took herself to the doctor in the middle of the night, afraid that she would be cold, and wrapped her skirt around him to sleep on the hospital recliner......

The man knelt weakly on the edge of the bed, tears unconsciously wetting the sheets. It took a long time for the man to sit up, and he hung the little dolphin ring on his keychain.

He thought of Runtong Advertising, even if Jiajia leaves, he will say hello to Xiao Yiyun at the public and private clubs. Previously, Jiajia had invited the man to attend the party with Xiao Yiyun many times, but for various reasons, the man refused, he was unwilling to meet the man. Now, he is desperate and decides to go to Xiao Yiyun, maybe he can find Jiajia.

The man took the bus to Runtong Advertising, wandered downstairs for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to go upstairs.

"Hello, who are you looking for?"

"Uh......" the man swallowed, "I'm looking for Xiao Yiyun." ”

"Oh, you're looking for Mr. Xiao, please wait."

The front desk dialed the phone: "Mr. Xiao, someone is looking for someone at the front desk...... Oh," the front desk asked, holding the earpiece, "what do you call it?" ”

The man hesitated, a little unsure of what to say for a while.

The front desk stared at the man, raised his voice and asked, "Sir?" What do you call it? ”

"Oh, oh, I...... My name is Du Nannan. ”

The front desk hurriedly said into the receiver: "It's a gentleman named Du Nannan...... Oh, okay. ”

The front desk hung up the phone and said, "Hello, Mr. Xiao invites you to his office, please here." ”

In just a few tens of meters, the man walked for a long time. He didn't know what he was afraid of, and he stopped several times, thinking about going back. Just walked and stopped, and the man came to the door of Xiao Yiyun's office.

"Male?" The man was stunned, and suddenly there was a voice from inside. Only then did the man notice that the office door was frosted glass, and the figure outside could be faintly seen inside.

"Oh, it's me."

"Come in, man." The voice was calm and calm. The man slowly pushed open the door and walked inside.

He raised his head and just saw Xiao Yiyun. Xiao Yiyun sat behind the desk and saw the man come in, so he didn't smile, just nodded politely and said, "Come, sit down." The man walked in and sat silently on a couch next to him. Xiao Yiyun stood up and walked out from behind the desk, and the man took a closer look at the man.

Xiao Yiyun is similar to what he saw in the photo before, about 1.8 meters tall, with a decent Chinese face, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, dressed decently and generously, and his slight white hair on his temples makes him more mature and stable. He walked over to the water dispenser, took a glass of water, handed it to the man, and said, "Drink water." ”

"Thank you." The man owed slightly, and the lines of the "man duel" he had designed were melted by this glass of water.

Xiao Yiyun sat next to the man, and after a long time, he asked, "What is the matter with you coming to me?" ”

The man took a sip and said, "Xiao ...... Mr. Xiao. ”

"It's okay to call me Brother Xiao, we don't have any business relationship, so you don't need to call me Mr. Xiao."

"Oh, Brother Xiao......" The man suddenly felt embarrassed, how could he ask? Q: Where did my girlfriend go? What does this have to do with people?

was in Zhiwu, Xiao Yiyun spoke: "Okay, don't be embarrassed, you're just here to find Jiajia, right?" ”

The man nodded, looked down at his water glass, and stopped talking.

Xiao Yiyun stood up, walked to the window and looked out the window and said, "Ahem, I really don't know what happened to you, it can make Jiajia disheartened to this point." He turned his head, "What the hell is wrong with you?" ”

The man still had his head down, not knowing what to say.

Xiao Yiyun sighed, walked to the table, picked up a piece of paper, and handed it to the man, "Look at it, this is Jiajia's resignation report." ”

The man quickly took it and read it quickly, it was a very rhetorical resignation report, and there was no valid information.

The man raised his head and asked, "Didn't Jiajia say where you were going?" ”

Xiao Yiyun shook his head and said, "No, when I received this resignation report, she was gone, and the phone call had been turned off." ”

Only then did the man know that Xiao Yiyun had no news of Jiajia.

Xiao Yiyun looked at the man and said earnestly: "Man, Jiajia is a good girl worth cherishing, she has worked with me for so long, I still know her very well, her mouth is sometimes a little more powerful, but she is very kind, how deep her feelings are for you, I don't think you don't know." ”

When the man heard Xiao Yiyun say this, he felt a sour feeling in his heart again, he rubbed his eyes with his hand and lowered his head.

Xiao Yiyun continued: "Do you know how worried she was when you didn't work well? She told me many times that she wanted me to help you get into Runtong's work, and I coordinated it, and she said that you don't agree to start your own business. If you want to do the Internet, Jiajia will go to our company's interactive department to chat with people to learn knowledge as soon as you are free, not hoping to provide you with some useful information. ”

The man recalled that during the time when he started his own business, Jiajia had a deeper understanding of the Internet than himself, and often told himself some industry trends. It turned out that Jiajia had done her homework silently.

Xiao Yiyun pushed his glasses and said, "Jiajia sometimes feels depressed after quarreling with you, and will chat with me to complain." At that time, I found out that you have been with Jiajia for so many years, and Jiajia understands you many times more than you know Jiajia. ”

The man raised his head, as if he was explaining, as if he was pleading, "I have always been ...... to Jiajia Very good. ”

"I know," Xiao Yiyun continued, "your kindness is too superficial, do you really know Jiajia's heart?" Do you really know what kind of life Jiajia wants? Jiajia has been brewing to break up for so long, and you are so slow that you didn't notice it at the last moment. Xiao Yiyun stood up, "We are just colleagues, I already found out a few days ago that she has a move to resign." Xiao Yiyun snapped his fingers and said, "I passed by her desk and saw that she was checking the ticket information; I saw her give her favorite pot of violets to a colleague; I found that she was quickly finishing the work at hand......" Xiao Yiyun shook his head and said, "You live together every day, you don't find anything, you dare to say that you know Jiajia?" Xiao Yiyun's words left the man speechless.

At this time, someone knocked at the door, poked his head in and said, "I'm sorry Mr. Xiao, your customer will arrive soon, we are waiting for you in the large conference room." ”

"Okay, I'll be right over."

When the man heard this, he quickly stood up. Xiao Yiyun also stood up, and said while helping the man to walk to the door: "Man, Jiajia is a good girl, worthy of your cherishment." Let's figure it out, okay? The man nodded guiltily.

Jiajia is gone, suddenly gone, and it is not until he loses her that the man knows what this girl means to him.

Habit is a terrible force. In the morning, men and women used to hug Jiajia between half dreaming and waking up, but found that the other half of the bed was just an empty quilt; After work, he habitually took out his mobile phone and prepared to call Jiajia and ask what he had for dinner at night, only to find that it was not necessary now. Only then did he feel how happy it was to argue with Jiajia every day about what to eat; When he got home, he no longer had to nag Jiajia about why the cosmetics were left indiscriminately, why the drawers were not closed, and why the clothes were not put away...... No more co-ordination of these things after Jiajia's ass. Now, when he came home and saw the neat house, he felt terriblely rigid.

The days go on. Because of emotional matters, the man's enthusiasm for work suddenly decreased, and he no longer went to sweep the streets to pull customers, and he was silent when he arrived at the unit, just sitting in front of the computer in a daze. Brother Fan knew about the breakup between the man and Jiajia, and persuaded him a few times, but when he saw that it had no effect, he didn't say anything more.

After getting off work, the man stood in the middle of the buildings of SOHO Modern City, blankly watching the people who came and went in a hurry. He didn't know where to go. Go home? Without Jiajia, that little room can't be called home anymore, it's just a place to sleep. He didn't want to go back either, because as long as he was in that room, he couldn't help but remember and couldn't help but feel heartache. He suddenly remembered Ajma, was she okay now? Did Jiajia contact her? What did they say that day? Can Ajma still talk to herself?

Thinking of this, he picked up his phone and dialed Ajma. However, the other party's mobile phone prompts that it has been turned off. The man dialed many times in a row, but it was all turned off. He thought about it, it would be better to go to Ajma and talk to him in person. Thinking of this, the man got on the bus to Ajima's house.

When he arrived, the man walked downstairs to Ajima's house, hesitated for a moment, and pressed the doorbell. After a few long and crisp bells, a man's voice came: "Hey? Who to look for? ”

This sudden voice made the man a little flustered for a while, and he paused for a moment before saying, "Hello, I want to ask if Ajma is at home?" ”

"Who?"

"Ajma."

There was a vague conversation on the other side: "Mom, who is Ajima?" "I don't know, I made a mistake."

The answer came from the access control: "It's wrong, we are 3301." ”

The man hurriedly said, "Yes, that's right, Unit 2 3301." ”

I heard an old lady on the other side voice in the distance: "Tell him that the tenant has moved away." ”

The man withdrew, looked back at the apartment, 3301, the former shadow has also disappeared, and this place has also become a thing of the past with the new residents moving in. The man realized that the girl he thought he could talk about and be a close friend of his soul was actually so strange, except for a phone number, he didn't have any other contact information for Ajima. The mobile phone was changed, the residence was changed, and the relationship was broken. The man looked up at the dazzling sunlight, and a sense of loneliness welled up in his heart: in a big city like Beijing, there is a lot of people on the surface, but in fact the interpersonal relationship is so fragile.

The weather in Beijing changes quickly, spring and autumn are just a moment to see the leaves turn yellow, and a week later it becomes cold and windy, and winter is pressing. When the weather gets cold, you can buy clothes, but if the heart gets cold, how can you warm it?

In the morning, a phone call from the real estate agent brought the man in his dream back to reality, and he was about to pay the rent again. When I was with Jiajia in the past, Jiajia was mainly in charge of money, and Jiajia was responsible for paying all kinds of expenses, and the man never bothered about it, but now that Jiajia left suddenly, the man remembered that he had no money to pay the rent. Brother Fan never mentioned the matter of sharing money, and the man was embarrassed to mention it because of his face, but now that he is exhausted, he has to talk to Brother Fan.

After going to work, the man was thinking about how to open his mouth, and Brother Fan came. He went into his office while talking on the phone, put down his handbag, and sat down in the boss's chair to rest. The man heard him hang up the phone, stood up and walked into Brother Fan's office.

Brother Fan saw the man come in, and hurriedly greeted: "Man, sit, what's wrong, something is looking for me?" ”

The man reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said, "Well, Brother Fan, I really have something to discuss with you." ”

"Oh," Brother Fan saw that the man was very formal, and hurriedly got up and closed the door of his office, "You say, what's wrong?" ”

The man swallowed his saliva and said slowly: "Brother Fan, we have been running the company for almost a year, and I have never been embarrassed to ask, how will our income be distributed?" ”

Brother Fan sighed, thought for a while, and raised his eyes, "Why did you suddenly remember this?" ”

The man smiled awkwardly and said, "The agent has urged me to pay the rent, I have no income for several months, and the economy is indeed very tight now." ”

Brother Fan patted his head and said, "Ouch, brother, I really forgot about this." After speaking, he opened his door and went out to say a few words to An An, who took his bag and went downstairs.

Brother Fan walked back and said to the man, "I'll ask An An to give you some money, you use it first." ”

The man nodded and said, "Thank you then." After speaking, the man lowered his head and waited for Brother Fan to speak.

Brother Fan saw that the man had no intention of ending the conversation, so he took out a cigarette, handed one to the man, lit one himself, and said leisurely: "Brother, I know that you are under financial pressure now, and it will definitely not be easy for us to start a business, but just carry it over." You see, in recent months, we have an order every month, the company can continue to operate, I still have outdoor advertising resources there, sell together, and the business will soon improve. Brother Fan didn't say anything when he saw that the man didn't say anything, so he continued, "I want to recruit a few salespeople next month, you take them and let them develop customers, you don't have to sweep the streets, you will go to the management position in the future." Brother Fan smoked a cigarette, squinted at the man, and found that he still didn't seem to react, so he walked over and patted the man's shoulder, "What's the matter, brother, what else is on your mind, talk to my brother?" ”

The man sighed, snuffed out the cigarette in his hand, and said, "It's nothing, let's discuss it later, then I'll take this money to pay the rent first, thank you." With that, he walked out.

An An came back and gave the 2,000 yuan he took to the man, and the man counted that after paying the rent for two months, there was still 600 yuan left, and it would be enough for a month to save money. But Brother Fan just gave the money, and he was embarrassed to ask for it again, thinking that forget it, let's talk about it next month.
