Chapter 12 The night turns quietly, and the lights cast faintly on the wall
Huang Miao's Chapter
A slender hand pushed open the glass door of the shop, and the wind chimes hanging on the door rang loudly.
"Welcome!" I instinctively greeted when I heard the wind chimes.
A man in a gray sweater appeared in front of him, "Su Shun? What are you doing here? ”
"Can't you come?" Su Shun said and sat down on the chair next to the long table in the floor-to-ceiling window, "You're still lazy, I'm afraid I'll find out!" ”
"Where am I lazy, I can only guard like this at night and there is no one! It's a little bit more now, big boss, why don't you go home to sleep, and you are not like a poor working person like us. ”
"That doesn't sound very nice, you're not afraid of me now, are you?"
"Why should I be afraid of you!"
"It's so lonely!" He looked out the window at the dimly lit streetlights, the dappled shadows of the trees, and the empty streets.
"What?"
"It's lonely enough on a night like this. Look at that kind of street, how lonely it is to walk. ”
I didn't know what to answer, I just followed his gaze to the empty scenery outside the window.
"Come on, I'll give you a day-end bonus today, reward you with an ice cream, come here to discuss life! Get me some milk. He turned his head, and I saw a tired smile on his face.
I immediately felt funny and helpless, "How can there be such a prize, you can send me some bonuses, and an ice cream will send me." ”
With that, I still walked to the refrigerator on the left, flipped through it, took a cup of milk and a chocolate ice cream, folded it back to the cash register and took two spoons.
"Come, boss, your milk ice cream, please use it slowly!"
I put the ice cream cup on the table in front of him, handed the spoon to him, he took the spoon, did not speak, then bit the spoon in his mouth, held the ice cream cup with his left hand, and lifted the lid with the right hand of the watch, and the street scene of the street lamp and the shadow of the trees outside the window was reflected between the shaking of the watch, forming a wonderful floating small portrait.
Su Shun opened a convenience store, there is no name, the white neon sign is just three words, "convenience store", this convenience store is located on the forest path leading to the street garden, in autumn and winter, there will be leaves on the ground paved into a golden path, Su Shun wants to recruit clerks, and I happen to like this place, so I am here.
I didn't remember it for long, I also sat down next to him, bit the spoon, and opened the ice cream cup with both hands.
Here Su Shun was already taking a bite, "Sweet things are really comforting, even if they are cold." What do you think about fate. He asked suddenly.
I was putting a mouthful of ice cream in my mouth, "What? ”
I turned my head to look at him, a cold chocolate smile in my mouth, spreading a rich sweetness. I met his glass-beaded eyes, his eyes were as wonderful as his watch, like some kind of scenery floating, and I stared into his eyes, trying to see the scenery in his eyes.
"You haven't answered my question yet?" He interrupted my observation and thinking.
I looked out the window, "Destiny?" I don't know what to say all of a sudden!
I also asked a friend before, and his answer was interesting, he first said that fate is predestined in the dark, and I felt that it would be some kind of fatalistic argument when I heard it, but still out of politeness he continued to ask what the explanation was, and then he said
'My parents left some shortcomings on me, i hate that.',
I was interested right now, and I asked, 'What are those shortcomings, those are inherited shortcomings?' and I thought of the word at the moment, but now I think it's more appropriate to use the word inheritance!
'Introverted, timid, afraid of things, talking nonsense, greedy for small things, poor social skills, withdrawn, etc.' was his answer, and he felt a deep sense of understanding when he heard it.
'How do I feel that I have everything you have summarized, I especially like to be greedy for small gains, and I want to take advantage of what I can occupy',
'We may be psychologically similar,' but the moment I heard the word 'almost' I laughed to myself, and I said, 'Or maybe this class is about the same, almost, this shameless class!' ’
He retorted, 'I can't say it's shameless, it's just a part of the traits that manifest itself, like you said heredity, we've been inheriting and protecting these traits, how can I get rid of it, I can't get rid of it!' ’
After he finished speaking, he sat there in a daze and ignored me. The fate in his eyes is indeed destined in the dark and cannot be chosen, so it seems that in fact, the fate of many people is not like this, what has been inherited and passed down is strictly controlled, and there is also a life to protect and maintain and even pass it on again. Ha ha! ”
"People always have to face their own fate, which is the helplessness and sorrow of human beings."
"Su Shun." I called out to him earnestly and slowly.
He looked back, "Huh?"
"You're not going to be out of love! You look very abnormal, you look like you've been dumped! "I was immersed in self-perfect reasoning, and I had completely lost the posture of the serious exposition of the theory of fate just now.
"I said, aren't you really afraid that I won't pay my salary!" He uttered a vague sentence.
"I, I, I, I, I'm going to reconcile!" Then pick up the unfinished ice cream and walk back to the counter.
I stood in front of the counter and watched Su Shun keep looking at the empty scenery outside the window.
It must be looking at something far away, thinking about people who are far away, and thinking about it, I feel a little tired and powerless, and I sigh unconsciously.
"Did you start to sigh in your twenties? Later, when you get old, you can still get it. Unexpectedly, he responded to my sigh, turned slightly, leaned sideways on the back of the chair, and his glass bead-like eyes blinked and shiny, and I suddenly remembered this song.
Then I remembered that when I saw him for the first time, he was also wearing a gray sweater, and I felt very warm and secure when I looked at him in winter. He had a thin face, thin lips, a straight nose, and a chin that was very much in line with my appetite, but his expression was so cold, and his slender eyes were always squinting, as if he was not interested in anything.
He had the same face now, but he seemed to have woken up from that time, and finally opened his eyes to look at me, and those eyes were still so crystal clear.
"I feel like I'm hundreds of years old, isn't it normal to sigh?" I retorted, unconsciously getting more and more tired after saying it, and sighed again.
"How tired it is to live now! You can't get what you want. ”
"I feel a simple phenomenon, how you live today, probably the next day will be like this, the third day, the fourth day, and many days after that, the pattern is almost the same every day, so some things that always say wait and wait and so on, will not be done the next day, and the third day, the fourth day, the chance of starting is even more slim. Do you know what I'm saying? If you don't do it on the first day when you have the desire and the ability and freedom to do it, saying that you can't do it, you don't have the time or energy, then you won't do it on the second day or the third day! I like to shift the responsibility to fate, saying that I can't choose, I can't do anything, in fact, it's just that I'm trapping myself, obviously I'm very free, I can make a lot of choices, just like you, you can go to a lot of places, but why do you come here to hide? The real kind of inability to choose, when encountered, I already feel that I can only do that, but there is a kind of peace, because I really can't choose. ”
"Su Shun, at this time,"
"Huh?"
"You can only face that kind of thing, and then find a way to solve it, right?"
"Probably!" Softly replied, the glass beads' crystal eyes lowered slightly
"Then, I can also find someone to face and solve it with me, unity is strength, isn't it?"
