Chapter 9 Unexpected Encounters
Since Ye'er was forced to quit her job and wander the world due to gambling debts, my life has completely returned to normal, taking my children to work and school, gathering with a few friends on weekends, bragging, complaining, and living a good life.
At a dinner with a few colleagues, a female colleague brought one of her best friends, a shy best friend, who had just divorced.
There are always unexpected surprises and endless hopes in life, and in the face of this woman, I am moved. This is a very delicate-looking woman, with big eyes, long eyelashes, very white and smooth skin, petite figure, looking like a doll, she will also smile occasionally when she sees us talking and laughing there, but her face shows more shyness, sometimes our jokes are a little bigger, and her cheeks will instantly flush with a blush.
This is the type of woman I like, delicate and clean, dressed seemingly casually, but not with a sense of ease and pleasure. I don't like the kind of girl who wears lady's clothes, and I don't like the woman who wears the exaggerated flowery type of dress, that kind of woman gives me the feeling of deliberately pretending to be graceful and luxurious, holding a small bag in her hand, and even wearing a hat, as if she is a noblewoman, I like the kind of woman who seems simple and exquisite.
When I got home from dinner with a few colleagues that night, I dialed the phone number of this female colleague of mine, but unexpectedly, as soon as this female colleague of mine picked up the phone, she smiled and said to me: "I knew that when you got home, you would definitely call me!" β
"How do you know I'm going to call you?" I asked, confused.
"Do you have a crush on someone?" The mischievous voice of this female colleague came from the other end of the phone.
It turned out that the woman who was having dinner with us tonight and my colleague were elementary school classmates, and they were usually busy with life, so they didn't have much contact with each other, and since this woman divorced a year ago, they have been in touch more frequently. This female colleague of mine deliberately wanted to introduce this female classmate of hers to me, so she brought her with her at dinner tonight, but I was kept in the dark. This female colleague of mine said that she was worried that we would be embarrassed, so she didn't tell me in advance, and it was all up to our own feelings. Yes, this arrangement is really good, everything depends on my own feelings, but this female colleague of mine doesn't know much about her basic situation, especially the specific reason for the divorce, she can't say clearly.
I asked for her cell phone number from a female colleague, but I didn't call that night and I didn't text it. Because I'm hesitating, I have my child, I feel like I'm growing up alone with my own child, all this is good, and the child is in the third year of junior high school, which is a key year for the high school entrance examination, and my love will definitely hinder the child's learning. However, unexpected surprises will always make people's hearts move, after all, a person's day, if the time is long, my judgment will be deviated, and maybe I will do unexpected things.
After about two or three days, I texted her to ask her out for dinner, and she readily agreed, it seems that she and I are about to have a romantic story, which should belong to the kind of story that grows old.
That's it, my romantic date with her began, we chose a small restaurant by the sea, she said she likes to eat fish, fish in the sea, she said she doesn't like to eat freshwater fish in the river, always feel that the freshwater fish in the river smell very fishy. Yes, I don't like to eat fish in the river, the freshwater fish in the river really have a very fishy smell, unlike the fish in the sea, you don't need to add any seasoning, even salt, which is a seasoning that everything matches, you don't need to add, you can make a delicious fish fresh out of your own, because the sea water is salty, and the fresh water is light.
After we finished dinner that night, she said she wanted to sing, so we went to a KTV and opened a small private room, but she only sang one song "The Sea" that night!
γγγγγγ
If the sea could
Take away my sorrows
It's like taking every river
All the injuries that have been suffered
All the tears that have flowed
My love
Please take them all with you
γγγγγγ
Although the lights of the song hall were dim, but the colorful flickering light through the video monitor shone on her face, I found that she sang very emotionally, very devotedly, and her voice was also very good, when she sang, I could clearly see the crystal clear tears contained in her eye sockets, even if it was a small shake, the crystal clear tears would instantly slide out of her eyes, maybe merge into a small river, when she sang "If the sea can, take away my sorrow", she was simply shoutingγγγγγγ How much grievance has this woman suffered in front of her!
She set the song up on a loop, and after a while she would sit back on the couch, say "I'm sorry" to me, and then fill herself and I with a full glass of beer, clink glasses, and drain it.
I don't know how many times she sang it, but I do know that there were seven or eight empty beer bottles on the coffee table in the cabaret room. She returned to her seat and had a beer with me, and suddenly, her tears slipped from her eyes like beads with broken threads, and I hurriedly handed over the tissue, but instead of taking the tissue I handed her, she bent down and lay her head on my lap, and then reached out and took the tissue from my hand.
Looking at the pear-blossom-ting, pitiful woman in front of me, my defense line collapsed. Originally, I wanted to get to know each other through activities such as eating and singing first, after all, we each have children, after all, we are both second marriages, after all, I am in the open, all my personal information is clear and clear, and I can see through it at a glance; And I know very little about her personal information, even her classmates. However, this act of hers instantly shattered all my previous preparations, and we fell in love on the night of our first date, maybe adult love is so straightforward.
She said that her name is Han Han, and she has been divorced for almost a year, and she has not come out of the shadow of divorce until now after the divorce, and it was not until that night that her classmates met me when they took her to have dinner with us, which made her rekindle her hope in life. When I asked her what the reason for the divorce, she said that men become bad when they have money, and she and her ex-husband have a girl who is in the first grade of primary school, and she is usually raised by the child's grandparents, and the divorce was also awarded to the man. Before the divorce, she and her ex-husband were engaged in the ore pulling business on an aluminum mine deep in the primeval forest of Yunnan, and the business was just starting to make money, and her husband decided to take out a loan to buy a truck. Since having two cars, her ex-husband seems to have changed as if he is a different person, cheating and domestic violence, and she has no choice but to divorce.
After listening to her brief introduction, as well as her dedication and affection when singing, I believed what she said, yes, a woman will not be so engaged when she sings if she has not suffered such a huge injury, and often we like not the song, but the lyrics of which song.
