Chapter 16: Hu Shanshan's boyfriend
Wang Yuqing didn't speak again, and walked to the deepest part of the bridge cave alone, shrinking his body and slumping. I wanted to walk over and say a few words of comfort, but I saw Hu Shanshan staring at me and shaking her head. At this time, everyone no longer complains about who and dislikes whom, as if the world is coming to an end, what is the point of us still hurting each other?
Sometimes, when people are in a low mood, they become frank and meaningless. Zhao Ziwu accepted Hu Shanshan's illness instead, walked to the fire and talked to us about his relationship with Wang Yuqing. We know that he just couldn't find a way to move Wang Yuqing, and told us that these were secretly Chencang, but in fact, they were said to Wang Yuqing on the side.
There is always someone who can say that the cheating is high-sounding. Although it is only a one-sided statement, I have reason to believe that Zhao Ziwu loves Wang Yuqing. After all, not everyone who cheats on you is willing to spend money for you, although Zhao Ziwu is scum, stingy and selfish, and even narrow-minded, but in front of Wang Yuqing, he is willing to spend any money. What's even more annoying is that he still has this economic strength. In order to prove that he was single, Zhao Ziwu did not hesitate to buy a house, and the agency did everything he could to build and maintain the character in Wang Yuqing's eyes.
When it comes to his family, Zhao Ziwu is just downplaying. I think he's very smart at this point, unlike other scumbags, who may make up a lot of reasons for emotional discord to shirk responsibility.
After saying what to say, Zhao Ziwu walked to a position about two meters away from Wang Yuqing and sat down, looking at her quietly, looking at her.
I don't know if he will really divorce Wang Yuqing, and I don't know how they will go in the future. However, we are just passers-by, passers-by on their journey, and passers-by in the love story of the two, and we have no right to influence the development of the story. The nights are getting deeper and colder. When I was tired, I heard Hu Shanshan call me: "Lu Xia, can I pill on you?" This wall is too hard. ”
This was probably the closest contact I've ever had with Hu Shanshan. Pulling her into my arms, I didn't feel sleepy, feeling the warmth of the campfire and the faint fragrance of her hair, I felt that this moment was already beautiful to the extreme, even a little unreal.
"Lu Xia" Hu Shanshan closed her eyes and called softly, but she didn't make a sound for a long time, as if she just wanted to call my name, and didn't have anything to say next.
"What's wrong?" I asked softly.
"I'm sorry!"
"Huh?"
"Lu Xia, I'm sorry! In fact, I didn't come to Wushi this time just to meet you. ”
Hu Shanshan opened her eyes as she spoke, and the light of the bonfire was reflected in her eyes, blurred, depressed, and scattered.
"Do you remember the person who gave me the umbrella in the Crane Tower? He...... Actually, it's my boyfriend. ”
I don't know if my body is trembling at this time, and I don't know if my heartbeat and breathing have become disordered at this time, Hu Shanshan leaned against my arms, if I have a trace of panic, she must be able to feel it.
"I'm sorry," Hu Shanshan said three sorry. In fact, there is no need for her to apologize, because she has not done anything to infringe on my legitimate rights and interests. And she and I just met netizens, just like Wang Yuqing and Zhao Ziwu, no matter how far they have come, looking back, they are still two strangers.
I don't know what I'm going to say now, am I going to comfort her? Or is it okay to say politely? At this time, I remembered the face of the man on the crane tower, and Hu Shanshan's restraint and politeness in front of him. Hu Shanshan said that if she is seen to be polite to a person, the other person is either someone she admires or respects, or a stranger asking for directions. At the time I didn't have the slightest suspicion that it was the latter, but now it seems how foolish and conceited I am!
Seeing that I didn't speak, Hu Shanshan slowly closed her eyes again, and I could clearly feel that her breathing had become messy. "He proposed to me the year before last, and I agreed."
"Oh!" I answered. It seems to be a subconscious voice, from the depths of my heart and from my internal organs.
"Lu Xia, on the day of the Crane Tower, I returned the marriage proposal ring to him. This is the real purpose of my visit to Wu City. ”
"You broke up?" I asked, surprised.
"If you say it, you will definitely look down on me." Hu Shanshan's body trembled slightly, as if it took a lot of courage to say the next words: "Because he can't give me a family." ”
"He's also married?" I asked brainlessly, but after saying that, I regretted it, thinking to myself if I was mentally retarded? How could everyone be like Zhao Ziwu? It is impossible for Zhao Ziwu to propose to Wang Yuqing, so what Hu Shanshan said can't give to her family should be another matter.
Hu Shanshan shook her head gently, like a wriggling pet in my arms, which made people feel distressed.
"I don't want to use my limited youth to wait for an unattainable future. What's more, I can't feel love in this relationship. ”
When she graduated, Hu Shanshan received a courtship letter from a man, and she was surprised and delighted at that time. In this way, the two have kept in touch since graduation, just like online dating, they can't see each other, but they are ambiguous all day long. Later, the boy went to Rao City to find Hu Shanshan and proposed to her in front of her family. At that time, Hu Shanshan once thought that this person was her future husband, and in the near future, he would marry her.
However, sometimes what you think is within reach is often the most distant and deceptive. Since then, the boy rarely goes to Rao City again, and the daily conversation has become perfunctory.
Sometimes Hu Shanshan got out of class and wanted to ask him what he was doing, but the other party didn't have time to reply to the message. Sometimes Hu Shanshan corrects his homework late at night, and wants to ask him if he has slept, but the information is often lost. During the holidays, he would send a small red envelope to Hu Shanshan, but he never had a date or flowers.
Hu Shanshan has asked more than once, when can we get married? But all that awaited her was silence. It wasn't until one day that Hu Shanshan couldn't stand the urging of her parents to marry and secretly ran to him, and then she knew that that person had no conditions to undertake marriage at all. He did not have a new house for the bride, nor did he have the financial resources to maintain his married life, and procrastination was the only way for him to maintain his love.
Speaking of this, Hu Shanshan smiled self-deprecatingly: "Do you think our city is a philistine?" No, even then, I didn't think about giving up. I thought I could wait, I could choose to trust him, or I could lower myself and live the hardest life with him. But even this kind of life, he can't give it to me. ”
Hu Shanshan also once thought that he had his own difficulties, after all, it was not easy to find a satisfactory job now. There will always be a low point in life, maybe cross it, and when he finds confidence, everything will be fine. Later, Hu Shanshan looked for him a few more times, and she thought that her behavior could inspire the other party and give him the right direction in life. However, it backfired, and soon Hu Shanshan found out that she was outrageously wrong, a person with no sense of responsibility has no way to change for others.
"I don't see any hope in him." Hu Shanshan's voice was a little hoarse, probably because of the fever, and she seemed very weak. "I never understood why he proposed to me, why he fell into it, and what he went through in the meantime?"
"Later I learned that he probably didn't love me, so he valued dignity more than anything else."
"So you came to Takeshi to break up with him?" I felt a sense of frustration that the beginning of her and me was based on the untimely death of another relationship. I even wondered if I could have asked him out if she hadn't had such a boyfriend.
"He's going to break up with me," Hu Shanshan said, sat up, added a piece of dry wood to the bonfire, and a spark exploded, and sparks flew everywhere.
"He proposed to break up half a year ago, and he could have forgotten about each other like this, but I can't, I must return the ring to him, from beginning to end."
"Ritual!" I say.
Hu Shanshan smiled and looked at me slightly sideways: "Lu Xia, the day of the Crane Tower was the most relaxing moment in my past two years. I also want to thank you, in fact, I was hesitant before meeting you, but now it seems that you are still relatively reliable. ”
"Is this praising me?"
"Cherish it! I rarely praise others. ”
"Then you must not be loved by your students."
"Nonsense! I am one of the most popular female teachers. ”
"Anyway, you can say whatever you want, and there's no way I'm going to school to ask."
