Chapter IV

Han Ding returned to Beijing, and this long trip made him have a cordial feeling for Beijing, which he had never experienced before, and he never realized that Beijing was so large, graceful, and cultured. Moreover, it is also cleaner than Pingling.

Pingling, perhaps the only thing he can't forget is the beautiful and unfortunate girl Luo Jingjing. That's right, in Han Ding's eyes, the charm of this girl is not only her beauty, but more importantly, her misfortune. Her expression and words looked a little numb, but Han Ding believed that only a state of sadness to the point of numbness could show the depth of sadness. Perhaps it was Luo Jingjing's numb expression and wooden words that made Han Ding's heart soften like never before, unprecedented!

Long after returning to Beijing, Luo Jingjing has always been the shadow that Han Ding tosses and turns for every night before going to bed. Since then, he has no intention of asking about all the girls around him, and even loses interest in clubbing and jumping to meet girls. He fell into a pathological unrequited love. Fortunately, Han Ding has always been a rational person, especially for men and women, the scratches in his heart generally do not hang on his face, let alone affect his daily work. He went to work every day, still full of emotions, went to see his parents every two or three days, had dinner at his parents' house, chatted with his parents about the news during the meal, and then took the subway back to his residence. His parents' family lives in Wukesong, and the subway station is the subway station at the corner of the street, and it takes about half an hour to get on the subway to Chongwenmen. He lived in Chongwenmen. The central point between Wukesong and Chongwenmen is Fuxingmen, and their Zhongya Law Firm is in the state-owned enterprise building in Fuxingmen, three points and one line. Every morning and dusk, Han Ding travels back and forth regularly on the ground of Beijing's longest and said to be the longest and widest Sunshine Avenue in China and the world. Every day is like this, and it is plain and regular.

Ordinary and regular life is often tiring, especially at an age like Han Ding's imminent. So one day he suddenly decided to go to Pingling again. When he made this decision, he didn't even have a clear purpose in his mind, did he want to find Luo Jingjing and then become friends with her? It sounded naΓ―ve and presumptuous, but he couldn't figure out why he wanted to go.

He asked for leave from the office, saying that there was something wrong with his parents. But in front of his parents, he said that it was impossible to go on a business trip. In short, the lie is quite thorough. After hiding both sides, he boarded the train alone and set off on a cold twilight. He didn't close his eyes all night, silently looking out the window of the train, watching the wilderness where he couldn't see anything clearly in the night retreat silently at the same constant speed, as if the night had also receded, making the dawn ahead closer and closer. The train had also arrived at Pingling when it reached dawn, and he had never noticed that the dawn in Pingling was so quiet. It's not like Beijing, it's better than Beijing, where the streets start to be noisy before dawn, and in the morning fog in front of the Pingling railway station, there are hardly too many pedestrians and not too many sounds. Occasionally, one or two lonely cars could be seen, and they also drove quietly with their voices suppressed, as if they were afraid of harassing the city that had not yet woken up.

Han Ding walked to the street, carrying a satchel on his shoulder, like a student about to go to school. He stopped after walking down the street and ate a steaming bowl of wontons at a freshly opened breakfast stall on the side of the street. Then, he stopped a taxi, said the general direction, and asked the driver to take him. He couldn't say the detailed address of Luo Jingjing's house, but the general direction and the appearance of the street were still fresh in his memory.

Fortunately, the courtyard of Luo Jingjing's house has hardly changed from a few months ago, and the only difference in perception may be the green creeper that has only grown this summer. It was already dawn when Han Ding found this place, and when the car drove past the door, a middle-aged woman came out of the courtyard to pick up the newspaper in the mailbox at the door, Han Ding didn't let the driver stop, and let the dense creeper in front of him and the woman who took the newspaper gently glide in his sight. Fifteen minutes later, the taxi pulled him to the workers' new village in the east of the city, and pulled him to the door of the girl's house who was the best friend to Luo Jingjing. He got out of the car and went upstairs and knocked on the girl's door. The precocious girl had a good memory and could recognize him at a moment's notice. Maybe because his identity was Luo Jingjing's lawyer, the girl let him into the house without any warning, and introduced Luo Jingjing's situation to him very enthusiastically and truthfully. The situation she introduced was even more disappointing than all the possible scenarios that Han Ding could have imagined along the way - Luo Jingjing was gone, and she hadn't been seen for two months. Two months ago, she borrowed 500 yuan from her classmate and left the place, and has not been heard from since. Some people speculate that she went to the south, based on the fact that she had previously toured Guangzhou and Shenzhen with a hair show troupe, and there was a big modeling agency there that wanted to sign her.

"Could she be looking for her boyfriend?"

Han Ding still instinctively made this speculation, perhaps the purpose of his speculation was to hear a negative answer. Sure enough, the girl shook her head categorically as he expected: "No, her boyfriend is a foreigner, and he probably went back to his hometown a long time ago." ”

"Then will Luo Jingjing go to his hometown to find him?"

"Definitely not! That boy is very poor, what is Luo Jingjing looking for him for? ”

"Maybe Luo Jingjing still has some feelings for him......"

"Feelings? Feelings are something that can only be talked about after eating, Luo Jingjing now has to solve the problem of eating, it is a problem of survival, she is not in a position to talk about any feelings. ”

Han Ding's heart felt much better, and he nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Can anyone else know Luo Jingjing's whereabouts? Without. Neither Han Ding nor Luo Jingjing's classmate could think of anyone else who could tell them Luo Jingjing's whereabouts. Walking out of the new workers' village, Han Ding stood stupidly on the street. The street finally became lively, with people and cars coming and going, but Han Ding felt very lonely. He was lonely. Because he seems to have experienced Luo Jingjing's loneliness, that loneliness is quite profound. He thought that Luo Jingjing didn't even say goodbye to her classmates who were the best and most trusted to her, where did she go, what did she do, and how would she live in the future...... Isn't there anyone to confess and confide in her feelings and plans? He seemed to see Luo Jingjing's thin back, she was just twenty years old, but she had such a complete loneliness, which made Han Ding's heart uneasy.

From getting off the train to this time, Han Ding's passionate journey took only two hours and ended in vain. Maybe it's time to end his dream, and the age of the dream. After returning to Beijing from Pingling, his mood really calmed down, and he did not tell anyone, including friends and parents, about his fruitless unrequited love. He had just experienced the beauty of solitude, and he had a sense of maturity that had been reborn. He goes to work more down-to-earth, in addition to going out to run errands, he still goes to work at two o'clock or three o'clock every day, and walks back and forth in the "henchmen" of Chang'an Avenue without distraction. According to his parents' advice and arrangement, he decided to take the TOEFL test, and then study in the United States, he has an uncle who runs a restaurant in the United States, and in those days he even took the subway every day with an English book to memorize words. His perseverance has always been bad, and he has not set a set goal for the future, but now his mood seems to be different, he has grown up, he should be sensible, and he can't always be like a child who only cares about the happiness in front of him.

But just when he determined his goal and really wanted to change his face and become a new person, a fate accident disturbed his direction again, and the life track that had just been reflected on and spurned by him made him like sleepwalking, turning around and returning to the same place.

This fateful accident appeared in the subway that he must pass through every day, on a seemingly ordinary dusk. This evening, he went home from work as usual, and walked into the subway station of Fuxingmen as usual, unlike usual, he saw "Luo Jingjing" hallucinating at dusk that day.

He was going to his parents' house for dinner that day, and he used the time he was waiting for the bus to lean against the pillar and read English. When the car arrived, the cars from the east and west directions entered the station at the same time, and at the moment when he put away his books and was about to get on the train, he happened to glance at the door of the opposite car, a girl looked back unintentionally before boarding the car, and that moment of looking back made Han Ding's eyes pass a dazzling strong light, and under the strong light, Luo Jingjing's fan-shaped hairstyle face flashed dazzlingly, making Han Ding's whole body numb. At this time, it was time to get off work, and the subway station was full of people, and the girl was just a flash, and then she disappeared in the crowd. Han Ding woke up and went straight over, and when he reached the door of the opposite carriage, the door closed, and the train started immediately, and drove away quickly and silently.

The cars on both sides left the station at the same time, and the crowded platform quieted down in a blink of an eye, and on the huge platform, it seemed that Han Ding was the only one left, standing in front of the empty track in a daze.

He did not go back to his parents' house that day, and returned to his place in despair. At night, he had no intention of reading and went to bed early, but he seemed to wake up almost all night. Several times, half-dreaming, half-real, I saw Luo Jingjing on the catwalk again, and saw that beautiful face under the strong light. In his imagination for a long time, that face has become like a fixed image symbol, eyebrows, eyes, expressions and colors, like an eternal sculpture. The beauty of the sculpture is that she doesn't laugh, she doesn't get angry, she can never be fathomed.

This chance encounter disturbed his mood and disrupted his parents' plans for him, and he had little strength to continue to bury his head in the pile of difficult English words. He always stubbornly believed that what he saw at the station was Luo Jingjing.

From that day on, every time he commuted to work, he had to wander around the Fuxingmen subway station for a long time, hoping for a miracle to happen with a kind of ignorance that was almost waiting for a rabbit. His distress was only told to Lao Lin, or rather, he was only recognized by Lao Lin. Before getting off work that day, Lao Lin threw a lawyer's letter on his desk, and said with an unhappy face: "Who have you been with these days, and the three-page thing is wrong everywhere." Han Ding read the lawyer's letter and said ignorantly: "Yes, no." Lao Lin turned his head and left. Han Ding didn't dare to leave, he worked overtime to correct the mistakes in the manuscript one by one, proofread it clearly and retyped it, and the next day Lao Lin put it on his desk as soon as he went to work. Lao Lin read the manuscript and asked Han Ding: "What's the matter, did you memorize words at night?" Han Ding said, "No, I haven't slept well in the past few days." Lao Lin saw that he was depressed, so he laughed: "It can't be a broken love, right?" Han Ding said, "Almost." Lao Lin was surprised: "When did you fall in love?" And with whom? How I don't know. Han Ding said: "There is no provision in the office that this matter must be reported." Lao Lin didn't believe it: "No, such a handsome young man will also be dumped?" Han Ding smiled bitterly, not knowing where to start. That night, Lao Lin asked Han Ding to go to his house for dinner, and said that he would have a good chat. Han Ding suddenly wanted to talk at that moment, so he went.

Lao Lin's family lives near Lishi Road, a large three-bedroom living room, where Lao Lin and their son were originally lived, as well as a lively and cute Shih Tzu. Now, the husband and wife are divorced, and the dog is given away, and the old money that is more familiar with cats and dogs than the provisions of the law is given. The two fathers and sons of Lao Lin are left, and they are quite alone in this suite. Lao Lin is an extremely serious person at work, but he seems to lack a sense of responsibility for women. Although he and his wife have just divorced, everyone in the office knows that he has never been idle. The last time he was sick in Pingling and rushed over to take care of him, it is said that it was just one of Lao Lin's many girlfriends. Han Ding has always wondered why Lao Lin is not good-looking, why are women chasing him? Maybe it's because Lao Lin lives a meticulous life, feels sorry for people, cooks good dishes, and is willing to spend money on the women he likes, so he can move those women who have passed the "three" year. At the turn of the century, women began to advocate femininity, and men with rough personalities and who did not understand life were long since they were not welcomed.

Lao Lin and Han Ding both drank some wine that day, and although Han Ding was not drunk, he still violated his privacy in front of Lao Lin's son, who was already in middle school. He confessed to Lao Lin that he was caught in an unrequited love that had no ending, and that he had a crush on a girl who had a crush on him to death, and the girl didn't know it. Lao Lin is already a forty-year-old person, and he has experience in love, crushing, unrequited love, and falling out of love, etc., he asked Han Ding to tell who the girl was and where she was, and volunteered to be the old man, and told her about Han Ding's bitter love, maybe it could be a good thing. Han Ding smiled half-drunk and shyly, and said, "You know this person." Lao Lin said, "Yo, is it, who?" Han Ding suddenly blurted out: "It's Luo Baochun's daughter Luo Jingjing!" ”

"Luo Jingjing?" Lao Lin Wan opened his mouth as if he didn't expect it, "She's in Beijing?" ”

"Nope." Han Ding said, "Ah, maybe, I don't know where she is." ”

"I don't know where you are, you're just going to live or die?" Lao Lin touched Han Ding's head, "You are really sick!" ”

Han Ding also knew that he was not lightly ill, and he was really not lightly ill!

He knew that he was not lightly ill, but he was still so persistent in the Fuxingmen subway station every day when he commuted to work, and he thought that maybe this time period and this place was also a transfer station for Luo Jingjing from a certain place to a certain place every day. He was full of hope, and his obsessive waiting would make chance inevitable. After waiting for two weeks, he began to lose heart, and gradually stopped throwing his fantasies on the platform where the people were moving. But the past two weeks have fallen into his subconscious, and every day when he gets on and off the bus here, he still inevitably turns his head and looks at the other side.

On the weekend, Mom and Dad went to the Poly Theater to watch ballet. Han Ding had nothing to do, so he was caught by Lao Lin and took his son to the ice rink in the underground mall of the International Trade Center. At that time, Lao Lin was having a new love, and his son became a burden, so he had to often ask Han Ding for help. Fortunately, this child has just recently become obsessed with ice skating, and it is of course a luxury for a child to go indoor skating in the middle of the hot summer, and Lao Lin would not be so kind to his son if it were not for the tryst at night. Han Ding and this kid actually can't play together at all, they just accompany him as a mission. They finished skating, returned their skates, and walked down the shopping street that crisscrossed the underground rink toward the elevator. The kid walked and walked, stop-and-go. Han Ding followed suit, bored. When passing by an audio-visual store, Lao Lin's son slipped into the shelves full of CD discs and refused to come out. He saw a lot of people watching in front of a shop selling Chinese furniture, so he walked over to see the excitement, and when he got closer, he realized that there was a model in the window who turned out to be a real person. Han Ding's curiosity has always been very restrained, and he feels a bit grandiose and disgusted with any ingenious commercials. But look at the girl in the window, sitting on the official hat chair of red rosewood, wearing a flag man costume with wide sleeves, the fabric of the costume is full of black and red, and she holds a delicate fan in her hand, which is woven with white tulle, and then matches the peach blossom powder under the girl's costume and a jade bracelet on her hand, it feels like an oil painting with heavy colors and dark tones, with a strong charm. Han Ding was immediately attracted. He took a few more steps forward, wanting to look more closely, but after a few steps, he suddenly froze, he thought he was going crazy again, and saw that the girl sitting in the window was also Luo Jingjing! He moved as intently as he could, as close as possible to the window, almost lying on the glass and staring at her. The girl seemed to notice him as well, and when she raised her eyes, they looked at each other for a moment. This moment of staring at each other made Han Ding almost scream, he didn't care how surprised and ridiculed the people behind him were at his actions, he actually knocked on the glass with his hand, and at the same time really shouted loudly:

"Luo Jingjing, Luo Jingjing!"

The model in the window didn't answer, didn't even raise his eyes to look at him again, and even lowered his eyebrows slightly, and covered half of his pink face with the half-transparent fan of white yarn. At this time, a staff member in the store came out and intervened: "Hey, sir, I'm sorry, please stand back, stand back." ”

Han Ding sneered and retreated from the window, he looked around to the left and right, and saw countless mocking snickers and disgusted exchanges. He squeezed out of the crowd with a red face and ran back to the nearby video store quickly, Lao Lin's son was wearing headphones in front of the listening machine, his head was intoxicated with which popular "rock" song, Han Ding gasped and said to him:

"Hey, Xiaolin, I ran into an acquaintance, I'll go first. You'll go home by yourself later. ”

Kobayashi was obsessed with the rhythm in the headphones, and he answered without raising his head. Han Ding was just about to leave, when he suddenly remembered something and looked up and stopped him.

"Hey, didn't you say you would take me to pizza today?"

Han Ding was stunned for a moment, quickly turned around, took out a hundred yuan from his body, stuffed it into Xiao Lin, and said, "You can eat it yourself, the pizzeria will go out and go west." ”

Han Ding ran away after stuffing the money, and Xiao Lin called him again behind him, but he didn't answer.

Han Ding hurried back to the furniture store, the model in the window still sitting, but in the blink of an eye, it had been transformed into another strange girl. Han Ding hurriedly found the store, and when he saw someone, he asked, "Where was the model just now?" The person who was asked was stunned: "Which model?" Han Ding didn't know what to say: "It's the one just now, the one sitting in the window just now!" "Ah, that," said the shopkeeper, gone. Let's go? Where have you been? The green tendons on Han Ding's head jumped out. But the other party's expression was cold and indifferent: "We don't know where we went, who are you?" Han Ding stuttered and said, "I'm her friend." As if the other party didn't care, he pointed out with his hand, oh, maybe she was removing her makeup in the bathroom over there. ”

Han Dingfei also ran in the direction of the bathroom, and when he was about to arrive, he happened to see Luo Jingjing change his clothes, carrying a small backpack, and coming out of the bathroom to go in another direction. Han Ding was overjoyed, and quickly caught up with her and called her:

"Luo Jingjing!"

Luo Jingjing stood still, turned to look at him, she finally recognized him, and a stereotypical smile immediately appeared on her face.

"You...... You're that lawyer Han, right? ”

Luo Jingjing could still remember his surname, which made Han Ding extremely happy, and he almost said: "You made me find it so hard!" Fortunately, the words didn't come out, so I rationally changed it to: "Why are you here?" ”

She didn't seem surprised by this encounter with Luo Jingjing, but she responded politely to Han Ding's surprise: "Was it you who knocked on the glass just now?" I couldn't hear what you were saying, I didn't remember who you were. ”

Han Ding suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked, "When did you come to Beijing?" Have you signed with a modeling agency in Beijing? ”

Han Ding speculated from the beginning that Luo Jingjing must have signed a certain modeling agency before coming to Beijing. However, judging from the fact that she was doing live advertising in the shop window, it is obvious that she is not signing a large company with grade and strength.

But Luo Jingjing's situation seemed to be worse than Han Ding's speculation, she was a little embarrassed, but she still introduced herself truthfully: she hasn't signed a contract with any company yet, and now she is looking for a job by herself, anyway, if she has a job, she will do it, and if she doesn't have a job, she will stay.

Girls, especially beautiful girls, care about face, Han Ding knows that models are different from actors, and now it is fashionable for actors to do individuals, and if models don't have a company sign, it is difficult to have a job, and it is even difficult to be called models, people call them "wild models" at most. "Wild model" is, of course, a derogatory term.

Therefore, Han Ding just smiled and didn't ask any more. Luo Jingjing's situation once again aroused his sympathy, and he realized much later that his crush on Luo Jingjing was actually due to a kind of pity in a large part. He was actually a very pitiful person by nature, which he did not know at first.

They walked all the way and chatted all the way, and when they reached the gate of the China World Mall, the jerkiness that they had when they first met each other was gone. Standing at the end of Chang'an Avenue, there is a rush of traffic in front of you, it is the beginning of the Chinese lanterns, and the brilliant and gorgeous lights make the city full of vitality. Such nights have an indescribable charm for young people, a charm that fills you with confidence and makes you unconsciously accept the temptation of a desire that makes you absolutely unwilling to stay at home after the street lights are on......

They stood at the ship-shaped exit of the World Mall, silent for a moment in the dim light, and after this moment, Han Ding opened his mouth and asked first:

"Where are you going?"

Luo Jingjing didn't answer, she might be thinking about where to go.

Han Ding didn't wait for her to answer, and then followed: "Can we eat together?" ”

Han Ding's tone of voice sounding very casual when he issued this invitation, but he was actually extremely nervous. He saw Luo Jingjing bow her head and be silent, and her silence made him blush. Fortunately, at the same time as he was sure that he would be rejected, he heard the reply that was as he wished:

"Okay."

Han Ding relaxed the breath in his throat as if he was rescued, and then smiled happily, and he asked happily, "Then, what do you want to eat?" ”

Luo Jingjing said: "It's all right." ”

Han Ding asked, "Have you ever eaten pizza?" ”

After asking this, he regretted it a little, a beautiful girl like Luo Jingjing may have dinner every night, maybe she has eaten more good things than him. He thought Luo Jingjing would say, "You treat me like an old hat!" But she didn't say that, to Han Ding's surprise, she actually shook her head like a child, and said honestly: "Pizza? I haven't eaten it, is it delicious? ”

Han Ding relaxed again, and his answer to Luo Jingjing was almost grateful, and he said emotionally: "It's delicious, I don't believe you can taste it today!" ”

He took Luo Jingjing and took a taxi to the west to the "Pizza Hut" outside the Jianguo Gate. In this most famous pizzeria, they did not meet Lao Lin's son. Han Ding had expected that the kid would take a hundred yuan to play on the computer or simply buy a CD, so he wouldn't spend the money on pizza.

That night, Han Ding asked for two kinds of pizza, thick and thin, and a large glass of Coke, and he ate very fragrant and full. But Luo Jingjing just drank all the coke, but she was not used to the taste of pizza, and in the end, nearly half of the pizza could not be eaten so that Han Ding made a bun. Han Ding wondered: "Pizza is the most popular flavor among young people nowadays, why don't you like it?" But Luo Jingjing said: "I don't like Western food, I can't get used to it." ”

It was a long time before Han Ding knew that Luo Jingjing was born beautiful and wealthy, but she was a person who had never seen the world in terms of food. Pingling, where she grew up, still doesn't have a pizzeria. In addition, Luo Jingjing is introverted, not sociable, she has not made any friends in Beijing for several months, she usually does not have any meals, there is no meal for three meals a day, and the content of the food is also casually improvised, it can be said that she has a kind of embarrassing life in Beijing.

After they finished eating that night, Han Ding proposed to find a bar to sit in, and Luo Jingjing nodded like an obedient child and said okay. Han Ding found that Luo Jingjing's personality was much more easy-going than he had imagined, and she was a little restrained even when she went to places like pizzerias and bars, which made people feel very special, making people think that this girl was so good, so kind and responsible.

They found a "quiet bar" with few people, drinking drinks and chatting. The content of the conversation was very broad, and the topic was basically dominated by Han Ding. He told her about Beijing's bars and other fun places, Beijing's officialdom jokes and the fashionable colloquialisms of young people. Luo Jingjing listened with interest, and made an expression of surprise, comprehension, or surprise according to Han Ding's expectations, which made Han Ding's heart full of joy and stimulated him to talk more and more.

Han Ding also asked her a lot of questions. About Luo Jingjing's personal and family situation is what Han Ding wants to spy on the most. Luo Jingjing's answers are always short and direct, neither dodging nor exaggerating. She said that her father loved her very much, and that after her mother died, her father loved her even more; She said she had no relatives in Pingling, so she would not go back; She said that she was a homeless person, and wherever she wanted to stay, she was home......

Han Ding asked: "Then where do you live now, do you live in a friend's house or rent a house by yourself?" ”

Luo Jingjing said: "I rented a house with two other friends. ”

Han Ding asked, "Is it also a model with you?" ”

Luo Jingjing said: "One of the two girls is a singer, and the other is a secretary in the company. I met the singing girl during the show, and she shared the house with the girl who was the secretary, and then they let me live in it too, so that each of them would have to pay four hundred dollars a month. ”

When they came out of the bar that day, Han Ding asked for a taxi and took Luo Jingjing all the way to the residential building where the three girls lived. It was an old building in an alley near Tianning Temple, there was a night market at the entrance of the alley, and the car couldn't get in, Han Ding didn't care how polite Luo Jingjing was, he insisted on getting out of the car and sending her into the dirty alley, and sent her to the six-story red brick building. They said goodbye at the door of the building, Han Ding expected Luo Jingjing to open his mouth and invite him to sit upstairs, he really wanted to see the three girls' warm nest, but Luo Jingjing didn't invite, she just said words of gratitude and goodbye to Han Ding, and then disappeared into the door of the building where there was no light.

Han Ding went home alone, and on the way, he chewed over every detail of his encounter with Luo Jingjing tonight and every minute they spent together, as if regurgitating. What made him particularly difficult to figure out was Luo Jingjing's gratitude to him when they broke up and said goodbye, so did the gratitude represent a good feeling from the heart, or was it just a politeness? But in any case, the pleasure of this night was unexpected, and the depth that he and Luo Jingjing reached for the first time was also unexpected, so this night was undoubtedly very meaningful and rewarding for Han Ding.

With this in mind, he slept soundly that night. After this night when even the sleep was unexpectedly perfect, he was refreshed for many days, he went to the China World Mall every day for many days, met Luo Jingjing who got off work from there, and then had dinner together, and then found a place to chat or go to the cinema to watch a movie, after chatting and watching a movie, he took a taxi to send Luo Jingjing to Tianning Temple, and then got off the car to send her into the alley, to the door of the building, and then watched her disappear into the dark shadow of the door of the building.

They get along very well, get more and more harmonious, and get more and more relaxed. Moreover, finally one night, Luo Jingjing shyly invited Han Ding to sit upstairs at the door of the black hole. And he went up. The house in which the three girls lived was much worse than he had imagined: small, with only one bedroom and one living room, and it was very messy, especially the living room. Nowadays, young people don't pay much attention to public morality, as long as it is a collective place, few people are responsible for hygiene, which is similar to the dormitory where Han Ding is in the university. Even Han Ding in the girls' dormitory has been taught, and all the girls now are too lazy to speak.

There was no one else in the house, Luo Jingjing told Han Ding: The girl who worked as a secretary in the company went on a business trip, and the girl who was a singer sang in the song hall at night, and she could only come back at one or two o'clock every night. So Han Ding sat down boldly and with confidence, looked east and west, and chatted east and west. He stayed late in Luo Jingjing's hut that day, of course, just drinking tea and chatting, and no other stories happened.

But on this night, in the hut where Luo Jingjing and the other girls lived, Han Ding finally asked her the question he had always wanted to ask, but he had endured not asking.

He asked, "Jingjing, you are such a good girl, I have always wondered, why did your boyfriend dump you?" ”

Luo Jingjing was obviously unprepared for this sudden question, she was stunned for a moment, this expression was already expected by Han Ding, he looked at her quietly, waiting for her to answer. Luo Jingjing seemed to think for a while, and suddenly asked Han Ding:

"Who did you hear that I had a boyfriend?"

This answer was also expected by Han Ding, he smiled unhurriedly, and said calmly: "Listen to what Director Wang said." ”

"Director Wang?"

"It's your dad's chief of staff."

Director Wang ...... Who did he listen to? ”

"Listen to your babysitter."

Luo Jingjing turned her face, looked away, and was silent. Han Ding wanted to ask, but he couldn't bear to ask again. It was too ruthless and unkind to chase after a girl's scars, so he kept his mouth shut, and he even found another topic to divert Luo Jingjing's silence while pondering. Before the topic could be found, Luo Jingjing suddenly opened her mouth again, and after she was silent, she suddenly spoke again, which was unexpected by Han Ding.

"I've forgotten all the past, I've really forgotten."

Han Ding, like Luo Jingjing, fell silent together. Luo Jingjing's semantics were simple and relaxed on the surface, but Han Ding could hear that this superficial simplicity and relaxation was obviously an escape, obviously covering up a certain sadness and sorrow. He figured he was right not to ask any more. He also followed Luo Jingjing's example, and pretended to echo casually:

"That's right, those who know how to forget will have a new life!"

He said this explanatory sentence and made an expression of appreciation, but Luo Jingjing fell into a deeper silence instead. Han Ding had to carefully consider his words, for fear that any unintentional words would make her cry at once.

He asked, "What's wrong, are you angry?" ”

Luo Jingjing's reaction seemed to be half a beat slower, and she looked up at Han Ding: "What?" Ah, no. ”

Both of them were a little embarrassed, as if they had their own agendas, and the topic was difficult to continue. Han Ding clumsily said some words of comfort, and what he could take out to comfort others were only some clichΓ©s that sounded fashionable and beautiful, but were actually nothing new, such as: We are all young, and the wealth of young people is to have tomorrow; As long as you're happy, and so on. But the dullness of that night was doomed to be irretrievable, and Han Ding's question ruined the wonderful night he had been waiting for. He could tell from the cottage that Luo Jingjing obviously wanted him to leave early, and she obviously wanted to be alone before nightfall.

When Han Ding came out of the old alley of Tianning Temple, there was an indescribable passion impulsive in his heart, and he was determined to mobilize all his enthusiasm and lasting patience to resolve this girl's unspeakable misfortune. People who have experienced misfortune know best how to cherish the happiness of the future, and he firmly believes in this. He firmly believes that he is the one who can give Luo Jingjing happiness in the future. He clearly saw their fate on this night, not only to see the cause and effect of this fate, but more importantly, to touch the wonderful feeling in it.
