53. Six and a half years ago
Lin Jiangnan's singing is really ugly!
I finally got it. It's probably all over the body that the artistic cells are dead to be able to sing that kind of tone.
I wanted to laugh while eating the dumplings, and he tapped the edge of the plate twice with his chopsticks, "Okay." Choking again in a moment. I covered my mouth and chewed the dumplings in my mouth and swallowed them, and said with a smile: "Your singing voice is really a fight with my math." ”
"Then you're really bad at math."
"What about music lessons when you were a kid? Has it become a laughing stock? ”
"I used to learn piano when I was a kid."
"Can a person with incomplete pentatonic notes learn piano?"
"Yes, the piano will produce which note it will press anyway, just play it according to the score." He shrugged his shoulders, "When I was a child, I played the piano for the small choir in the class, so no one suspected that I was singing out of tune. My grandmother played the piano very well, and she thought I was not talented, and the song was played out, but it was dry. Later, I didn't want to learn, so she didn't insist and let me go. ”
"It's a pity."
"Do you know what musical instruments?"
"Nothing!" After I finished speaking, I smiled, "But I don't sing out of tune." ”
"There's no talking." He put away the dishes and chopsticks on the table and ran to the kitchen, I followed him with a grin, and then grabbed the place of the sink, "Give it to me, I'll wash it." ”
He stood next to me and watched me wash these two or three dishes, and said, "I've lived here for so many years, and it's the first time someone has helped me wash the dishes." ”
"Impressed?"
"I was impressed. Why don't you come often? ”
"What are you doing? Helping you wash the dishes? ”
"I'll cook for you, and you help me wash the dishes." He leaned over to me and looked at me, "Okay?" ”
He cooks, I wash the dishes, this is a proper picture of a small life. My heart was beating and my face was a little hot, so I threw a little Mercury in his face with my hand, "I came all the way to wash your dishes?" You're inflated. ”
"I'll wash the bowl too."
"You cook, you wash the dishes, what do you want?"
"You can come."
"Hey." I wiped my hands and looked at him, "You don't hide it at all now." ”
"I haven't hidden it all along, it's you who always pretend to be stupid."
"I'm not pretending to be stupid." I reached out and poked the pattern on his clothes, it was an onion head, I don't know why the designer designed an onion head on the clothes, and I don't know why Lin Jiangnan would buy such a dress. "I understand that."
"Don't want to fall in love with me?"
"I don't want to fall in love." I walked past him and left the kitchen, and he followed me out and asked me behind me, "Why?" ”
"You're too small."
"It's certainly not true." He said, "It's you who don't believe me." ”
"It's not." I hesitated and stopped, thinking, "Well, I don't believe in myself. I didn't believe I could be in a relationship without reservation, because I thought it was scary. But if I can't hold it back, it's unfair to the other party, you know? ”
"Because of the past?"
I took a deep breath under his gaze and nodded, "Because of the past." ”
"But that's in the past."
"It's true that it's gone in terms of time, but its impact on me hasn't passed. Even the argument between me and my mom yesterday was because of the past. I don't know exactly how to be in a relationship right now. I smiled wryly, "When I was in school, I could cross the hurdle in physical education class, but after I fell down, I didn't dare to jump again, I mustered up the courage to run in front of the hurdle countless times, but I just couldn't take that step." ”
"Then don't hurdle, love is not hurdles."
"It's an analogy. I can not hurdle, I can not be in love. "I walked back into the living room to get my phone and get ready to go home. Lin Jiangnan came over and stopped me and stood in front of me, "Then I can help you." ”
"What are you holding me for?"
"Hold you over the hurdle."
I smiled and waved my hand, "Don't be so cute. ”
He looked a little upset, "I'm serious." ”
"Don't be so serious, if you're too serious, I don't know how to get along with you. In fact, I often wonder if I shouldn't get along with you like this and misunderstand you. But ......"
"I wasn't mistaken. Although I haven't been in a serious relationship, I'm not stupid. ”
"I'm stupid." I turned my head away from him and looked to see where my phone was.
"You look at me." He said to me.
"Don't look. I'm going home. ”
"No way!" He took me by the shoulders and pulled me back to him, holding my face in both hands and making me look at him. My company was caught between his hands, and I couldn't twist my head when I wanted to, and the flesh on my cheeks was squeezed in the middle, and my mouth was pursed.
He stared at me, and that look like he wanted to laugh, but he tried to hold back, and then he asked me, "Do you like me?" ”
I tried to shake my head but couldn't, and his head was forced up and down with his hands.
My eyes widened and I was stunned. What is this called?
"I like you too." He said, then let go of his hand. I slapped him on the shoulder and said, "What are you playing!" And with this! ”
"I know you like me, you just don't want to admit it."
"Don't be sentimental." I turned around and continued to look for my phone, and he followed me without leaving an inch, "You don't want to admit it because once you admit it, there is no reason to reject me again, there is no way back." You have too much self-esteem, and you are afraid to face your own vulnerability after a failed relationship, just like seven years ago, playing ball alone and crying alone, refusing to be comforted by friends, preferring to leave your vulnerable side to strangers. ”
I stopped my chaotic and hurried steps and looked at him in surprise, "What do you mean?" ”
"You said it yourself. Leave your vulnerability to a stranger and never see him again, so you don't have to face your own vulnerability again. ”
"What are you talking about?" My heartbeat began to be chaotic again, and I looked at him in a daze, searching in my mind in a panic, trying to find something or a sentence that corresponded to his sudden words.
"I asked you, and I said if we had met."
Have we ever met?
I thought about it for a while, and remembered the first time I met Lin Jiangnan in Orange, and when I saw him home, he asked me: Have we met. What did I think at the time? I seem to think that this young man's conversational skills are very clumsy and uncreative.
"So......" I pointed at him and then at myself, in confusion, "you mean, we've met?" ”
He nodded.
"When? You weren't talking about the time when Nanluoguxiang picked up Xu Yijing, right? ”
"It's not." He pressed me to the couch, then went to the fridge to get two cans of Coke and took out the half bottle of rum from the living room cabinet. It was placed on the coffee table in front of me.
"I have wine, and I have stories, do you listen?"
I'm a little afraid to listen.
I stared at Lin Jiangnan's face, trying hard to remember, trying to remember whether I had seen him before Nanluoguxiang, but I really couldn't remember anything.
It's handsome, not unimpressive!
He poured some rum into two glasses, then added more coke to it, handed me a glass, and said, "You said you hadn't seen it when I asked you in the car that time, and you never remembered a little bit after so long, it seems that you really forgot it completely." ”
"When?"
"In 2009."
"2009?!" I took the cup he handed me and felt like I was blown away, "2009? Seven years ago? ”
"Six and a half years." He smiled and looked at me, "It's autumn." I was 18 years old and had just arrived in Beijing to go to school. ”
In the autumn of seven years ago, I was twenty-three, had just graduated from college, and had just broken up with Yao Feng. But the events of that time were really chaotic to me, like a big dream, and to this day only some residual fragments of impressions.
"But I didn't know your name at the time, but I was very impressed with you. Later, I was also surprised when I met you in Nanluoguxiang, and I thought it was a coincidence. It's just that Sister Xu was very drunk at that time, and you couldn't take care of it, so I didn't tell you about the old meeting in Pingshui. He took a sip of wine, tilted his head slightly and recalled: "That time I think you have changed a little from six years ago, but the change is not very big, the hairstyle has not changed, the appearance has not changed, but the temperament feels a lot more mature." ”
"Your memory ...... Good enough. ”
"It's okay, maybe with my dad." He smiled and continued, "You can always remember what happened next, right? The next day, we met again at the North Exhibition. ”
"Of course I do."
"You may think it's a coincidence that we met for two days in a row, but from my point of view, it's like a god-like fate. I really think it's incredible, after all, Beijing is so big. I was going to talk to you and ask you for a phone number or something, but I didn't get the chance. That time you were going to the booth of Langyuan Real Estate, I asked you if you were from Langyuan Real Estate, you nodded to me, I want to know where you worked. ”
"When did I say I was from Langyuan Real Estate?"
Lin Jiangnan showed a very helpless expression, "What do you remember, why don't you remember anything." “
"That's right," I ...... self-doubting, "I didn't think I had a bad memory before." ”
"That day, I went to Langyuan Real Estate to hang around after the booth was finished, and I didn't see you, I asked the people who were staring at the scene at the time, and they said that they didn't have Su Mi, but Xu Yijing did. But when I asked Xu Yijing, they refused to give me the phone, saying that they couldn't give the leader's phone number casually. He spread his hands and sighed, "I won't be able to find you again." ”
"As a result, I showed up again."
"That's right. Peak loop turn. He raised his glass, and I touched him and took a sip of my wine. The heart said how he looked like a haunting monster in front of him.
"That'...... What the hell was going on in 2009? I asked him.
