Chapter 10: The Man I Miss in My Dreams

If we were strangers when we saw you again, how I wish we hadn't met when we were younger.

After the one-sided relationship that day, Yu Ting never forgot Sun Keyi, and she pestered me, "Didn't you say that you wanted to introduce me to that handsome guy." ”

I yawned and nodded, "Okay, good." Then he fell asleep on his desk.

The editor-in-chief walked up to my desk and knocked on it.

I looked up and looked at the editor-in-chief's overly full and angry face, and I instantly lost my sleepiness.

He said: "Xu Qijun, the afternoon report is very important, don't be late. ”

I nodded.

He strengthened his tone, "And give me a little more serious." ”

I also strengthened my nod.

After the editor-in-chief left, Yu Ting gave his back a roll of the eyes, and she said, "It's really fierce." ”

At one o'clock in the afternoon, I came to the courtroom on time, and a divorce case of celebrity cheating was going on inside.

Outside the courtroom was full of reporters waiting to grab the headlines, and I was squeezed outside by the crowd.

The one who cheated was a well-known male star, and his wife was an ordinary person. So as soon as it came out, everyone flocked to the man and kept patting at him, asking all kinds of questions. I looked at the woman's haggard face and took a few pictures of her.

I don't know who stepped on my foot, but after the crowd dispersed, I dragged my aching foot and sat down directly at the entrance of the courthouse.

The security guard came to chase me and he said, "Is this a place where you can sit?" Hurry up and go. ”

I groaned and stood up.

At the door of the court, if I'm not mistaken, it should be the economic person of the male star, and I have known many people around the male star because of the tracking reports I have been tracking during this time.

He lowered his head, held a slender hand, and said, "Lawyer Li, you fought this battle beautifully. ”

I took a camera and shot at the two people who were talking.

The man known as Lawyer Li turned around, and the camera in my hand fell to the ground.

Li Munan, the person I miss in my dreams.

His eyebrows and eyes are cold and handsome, without the gentle light of his youth, with sharp edges and corners, and a convincing charm. But there was still a faint sadness in his starry shining eyes, just like when he left.

My eyes met his, and I could see a flash of surprise in his eyes, fleeting. He didn't see me walking past me as usual.

After returning from the courtroom, I kept staring at the photo, in which Li Munan only had a slender back.

I watched it for a long, long time.

Yu Ting snatched the photo from my hand, and she said, "What are you looking at?" ”

I snatched the picture back from her, held it tightly in my hand, and said, "Nothing." ”

Yu Ting was probably frightened by my expression, and she said, "If you don't show it, forget it, why are you so fierce." The editor-in-chief walked over with his pot-bellied figure and said, "Xu Qijun, what about your report?" ”

I just remembered that there was still a story to write. I said, "I'll just write it." ”

The editor-in-chief said, "Did you get any shots?" ”

I shook my head, in addition to taking a few photos of the male star's wife, there is also a photo of Li Munan, and the photos of the male star are flying all over the Internet, and you can find it at any search.

The editor-in-chief got angry again, and he said, "What's the use of asking you." As he spoke, he snatched the photo I was holding tightly and threw it on the ground. Glancing at him, he grinned, "The economic man who continues to follow him may come up with something." ”

I nodded.

He said, "Okay, let's write today's report first." ”

I said, "Hmm. ”

After the editor-in-chief left, I picked up the photo. Immerse yourself in writing reports.

Café.

Yu Ting looked at Sun Keyi, who was sitting opposite, and she said, "Hello, my name is Yu Ting, and I am a good friend of Xu Qijun." ”

I looked at her unproductive appearance and lowered my head and continued to drink my cat coffee.

Sun Keyi was very polite: "My name is Sun Keyi. ”

Yu Ting said, "Where do you work?" ”

Sun Keyi said, "In my father's company, I did a little favor. ”

Yu Ting nodded and said, "I don't think you are an ordinary person, sure enough, you are still a rich second generation." ”

I listened to this blind date-like conversation. Finally, my coffee bottomed out, and I said, "Are you done?" ”

Sun Keyi looked at me and said, "Accompany me to Sun's anniversary party tonight." ”

I said, "Isn't the woman next to you a big push?" You just need to find one. ”

At this time, Yu Ting raised his hand very uncomfortably, "I can also go." ”

This girl, does she think of herself as a casual woman?

Sun Keyi said, "My dad asked you to go, and I don't want to trouble you." ”

I said "okay".

Sun has always been pompous, and this anniversary celebration is even more fanfare. And Sun Keyi, as the heir of the Sun family, naturally pays attention to the female companions around him, of course I understand this, but Sun Keyi and I have always been led away by the fate that was arranged, and the resistance of our youth has now become so weak and ridiculous.

He was in a black suit and I was in a white gown. Walking together, it seems to anyone that we should be a couple.

Sun Keyi's father called us over and introduced us to the other businessmen, "This is a dog." ”

Sun Keyi nodded politely. After returning to China, he became the general manager of the Sun family and learned business from his father, and now he has achieved a small success and is also famous in that circle.

The words of praise from those people were smashed, but they were like ordinary greetings.

Sun Keyi drank a lot of wine that night, and he pulled me and said, "Gentleman, we can only follow the fate that has been arranged." ”

I didn't speak, and let him pull me.

He said, "Xu Qijun, in fact, I like you, but I don't want to like you, because if I like you, I have to live the life they arranged for me, get married, have children, and inherit the family property." I looked at him, and my heart suddenly hurt, it turned out that Sun Keyi when he was a teenager, his rebellion was nothing but a powerless rebellion against the fate that was arranged, and I was not.

Sun Keyi looked at my eyes, so gentle, it was Sun Keyi who had never been before, he said, "Xu Qijun, will you marry me?" He laughed as if he had told a joke himself.

I said, "Sun Tzu, you talk a lot today. ”

Night, slowly quiet.

In order to complete the task assigned by the editor-in-chief, I really ran to track the male star's economic man.

But people eat and drink normally, and I didn't follow anything out.

"Have you always had a habit of stalking people?"

I heard a familiar deep voice, turned my head, and met a pair of deep eyes. His good-looking silhouette glowed millet-colored in the sunlight, and against the light, I couldn't make out the expression on his face.

I tried to find a crack in the ground to get into, but I used my camera to cover my face when there was no crack in the floor.

Li Munan chuckled, walked around me, and walked over.

I breathed a sigh of relief and froze in place.

A man wearing a mask and dressed in black approached, and the brim of the hat on his head was pulled low to cover his face.

Professionalism tells me that I have to follow.

I followed him all the way into the restaurant, and he sat down across from the economic man I had been following, and pulled back the brim of his hat, it was the male star, and I took a few pictures of his face with my camera, but I couldn't get anything.

I turned off my camera, put it in my bag, turned on my phone's camera, walked into the restaurant and sat down in the seat closest to them. After a while, a girl with a charming figure walked in. It's the cheating partner, a model.

The model had already been dug up, and even if I photographed the two of them together, it wouldn't be a headline. When she came in, she was coquettish, and the scene was hot.

The economic man next to him looked at them with a hint of disgust, but fleetingly, I carefully captured it.

The Homo economicus said, "Are you all settled?" ”

The male star nodded.

The female model glanced at the economic man with dissatisfaction. She said, "Do you care about her that much?" ”

The male star caressed the female model a few words, and the female model quieted down.

The economist said, "It's a good husband and wife, you treat her like that, you have to pay her back." ”

The male star nodded.

I remembered the haggard-looking wife.

The female model Shui Ling's big eyes looked at me, and she pointed at me and shouted, "Turn off your phone." ”

I glanced at her and turned off my phone unhurriedly.

The male star came over and he said, "Give me your phone." ”

I held my phone tightly in my hand, picked up my bag and walked out. He chased after him.

At the door, I turned around and took out my phone, flipped out the video to delete, and I said, "Disgusting." ”

On the way back to the company, while thinking about how to explain to the editor-in-chief, I came up with the idea that maybe I could get to know the haggard wife.

That's exactly what I did, and it took me a lot of work to find her. In the park, she walked aimlessly.

I turned off the camera, and couldn't bear to put her state on the Internet for those bored people to talk about after dinner.

Her hair was loose, her expression was dazed, and her dark circles were heavy.

I followed her.

She glanced at me and sat down on a park bench.

I willingly sit down beside her.

She said, "I don't want a divorce. ”

I looked at her, what the hell was going through this woman? Her eyes were so tired and restless. Her face was so haggard, and she was so aggrieved and humble when she said this.

I didn't speak, but quietly waited for her to continue, she said, "I followed him when I was in college, and at that time he had no money and no reputation, but I have always been with him, and I have suffered a lot and sins with him, but I feel very happy at that time." Now that he has money and other women around him, he doesn't need me anymore. She choked up as she spoke.

She said, "You know what? I don't want to leave him, I love him, I can do without his money, I can do without nothing......"

I didn't expect her to have such a love for that man, the man who likes the new and hates the old and doesn't want her.

She cried, but she cried secretly, and to be able to confide in me as a stranger shows how she has nowhere to complain.

She said, "I love him so much, but he took me to court for that woman." ”

Loving someone can be humbled to the dust.

I feel sorry for her, but I don't pity her, because I can't imagine that a woman can give everything for a man and still love him so humbly after being dumped by that man. Such a woman is a sorrow in itself.

I went back, and in the last report I didn't write about the male star, I wrote about the woman, about her love in college, about the suffering she suffered with the male star, and how the love she believed in all her life betrayed her.

Of course, I can't imagine how that male star could betray his wife who loves him so much, for an unsightly woman.

But I didn't dare to write about these in depth, because I was afraid that thinking too much would affect my mood.

I searched the Internet for photos of the woman when she was younger, and she was not as emaciated as she is now, she was young and beautiful, and she smiled like a fawn scurrying in the forest.

It was that man who ruined her beautiful life, but as she said, she was happy, when they had nothing.

I posted a photo of her when she was young into the report, and good things always resonate with people, and many people on the Internet sympathize with her and pity her.

Later, I went to see her again, and she said that she didn't want to see such an article, and she didn't want him to be ridiculed by 10,000 people.

I said, "You're still thinking about him." ”

She nodded, tears streaming down her cheeks.

I said, "I just want people to know the truth." ”

She didn't want to argue with me, but closed her eyes quietly.

I knew she didn't want me to be here now, so I got up and left with my bag.

That day, when I returned to the newspaper, the editor-in-chief praised me, and he said, "Xu Qijun, this report is well written, and the click-through rate is quite high." ”

I smiled, and for the first time I was praised by the leader. But Yu Ting said that I laughed more ugly than crying.

After work, I walked down the road and watched the people come and go, and there were familiar faces. I didn't know how long I walked, and I didn't know where I went, until I saw the streetlights that began to turn yellow on the streets of Yong'an.

The familiar figure stood under the street lamp, the light spilling from the top of his head, his hair sticking softly to his forehead, and the shadow of the long man was pulled by the light to the elder.

I stepped forward, and for the first time in many years, I looked at him so seriously, his eyebrows and eyes were as beautiful as ink paintings, and his outline became unusually soft in the light.

I said, "Li Munan, you're still back." ”

He nodded and looked at me as well.

I could not say a word, and he was silent.

Time passed quietly.

The sorrow of my youth also hurts again and again in my heart.
