Chapter 255: "Straight (6)"
"There's nothing else to talk about," she said. ”
There is a somewhat resentful tone in it, she deliberately, Yi Zhen taught her, men eat this set.
He can't do anything to her today, she and him are equal in the world, no matter what he wants, she has to be a bait, and it's up to him to take the bait.
Sure enough, he said wistfully, "yes, there's nothing else to talk about." ”
The lines are enough here, and anything else is a snake painting, but it destroys this quiet beauty.
In a foreign country, two former lovers met, the small shop was dark, rows of tables and chairs were plated with a layer of iron gold, only the light near the door of the store, white as if it was another world, light and shadow overlapped, there is a kind of oil painting-like beauty, like a lens in a movie, the photographer carefully used lights, props to shoot, carefully composed picture.
She abruptly stood up, turned and walked out.
It's still a scorching sun outside, and the street is very lively, but the movie inside is over, and it's time for her to end.
When she returned to the hotel, she remembered that she had forgotten all the things she had bought in that store, and she couldn't go back to look for them, so she had to tell Yi Zhen that she hadn't bought anything.
"Then I'll accompany you to the street after dinner."
He hid in an air-conditioned room in the afternoon and took a good nap, and now he looks refreshed, hugging her, "Absent-minded, what are you thinking?" ”
She was wondering why Chen Hui also came to Tokyo, was it just a coincidence?
But he smiled and said, "I really don't want to go back." ”
He kissed her: "But the company can't be left behind, and your own company - I've been working for so many days, and if I don't go back, they're really going to quarrel again." ”
They finally took a flight back to Shanghai.
As soon as I got on the plane, I saw Chen Hui again.
He was on the same flight back with them, and she was a little puzzled if he did it on purpose, as it was easy to find out the flight they had booked at the hotel reception.
But what if it was deliberate, even though he was on a plane, he couldn't have spoken to her.
Yi Zhen also saw Chen Hui, and to Lin Zi's surprise, they actually met.
They greeted each other affectionately, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then parted.
She took a newspaper in her hand and read it, the newspaper was "Shanghai News", she had been away from the city for too long, and it was always a little difficult to look at the familiar words.
She was not in that city for more than ten days, but Shanghai is still Shanghai, and in the local news, weddings and funerals, birth, old age, sickness and death.
Haisu is still fighting a lawsuit in the High Court, the TV station is still showing sad soap operas, a traffic accident on Zhongshan Road, and a residential building outside the Nanjiang River collapsed......
The holidays in Japan are like the fairy caves, and she lives a leisurely life without asking about the red dust.
But now as soon as I get on the plane, the fragments of the city's scales and claws are rushing in my face, and the fireworks in the world are rushing in my face.
She's back.
The sunshine in Shanghai isn't much different from that in Tokyo, she thought to herself as she walked out of the airport.
The driver followed behind with her luggage, she and Yi Zhen were still wearing clothes from their vacations, and both of them were wearing sunglasses to cover their faces, looking a little funny.
Once back in Shanghai, they became public figures again, and there were reporters in ambush at the airport, who said: "One headline is enough." ”
They slipped out of the security check as quickly as possible, feeling a bit like a child who had done something bad, so she was happy, although Yi Zhen's assistant was still so cold, and as soon as he got in the car, he talked to Yi Zhen about business and left her aside.
She leaned over the window and looked out, saving her assistant from suspecting that she was listening to their conversation.
Outside is the most familiar street, the endless stream of cars whistling by, the most familiar city, she is back.
He went straight back to the company, the car sent her back, and the luggage was handed over to her to pack.
I've been with him for a long time, and although I usually ask a part-time maid to do housework, he likes her to do some things by herself.
Sometimes I ask her, "What about my dark blue tie?" ”
Or: "The shampoo is gone, remember to bring a bottle back after work." ”
Just like the most ordinary couple in the world.
She couldn't think of whether their relationship was good or not, and she knew that he had other girlfriends, more than one.
She also noticed different perfume smells on him more than once, and he didn't come home occasionally.
But he's okay about this, he at least respects her in her circle, and won't let her friends and family bump into him with someone else, maybe they have bumped into him, but no one told her.
This time they came back from Japan, and both of them brought back a lot of luggage.
He is a shopper, and often laughs at his spending money like running water, which is the opposite of his usual stingy personality in the business world.
There are a lot of contradictions in him, and he is such a person.
She cleaned up slowly, and his house was always neat and clean - the hourly maid came to clean it every day, and he had a good habit of cleaning it up as soon as it was messy.
Living alone outside the home, you naturally have to take care of everything by yourself, so I have the habit of cleaning up.
She bought some clothes for him in Japan, opened the closet and hung them one by one, he also bought two golf shirts himself, his jersey was no less than a suit, a cabinet full, she squeezed the clothes to hang up.
Doing such a small and homely action, she has an ordinary happiness, and she can't deny that she is more and more greedy for this homely and intimate atmosphere.
She thought hesitantly as she put the fishing rod he had bought in the pantry and put the entire set of Shiseido cosmetics she had bought in the cabinet under the dresser......
He also bought a gadget for her.
A crystal music box, a delicate and transparent little transparent box, with a pair of swimming swans on it, as soon as the lid of the box is opened, the tinkling Tchaikovsky will sound, and the swans will swim in circles in the small crystal pond.
It wasn't a new thing, but she saw it because of its crystal clarity, so he bought it and gave it to her.
It was the first thing he had ever bought for her, and for this special significance, it was difficult for her to put it.
She originally thought that she should take it home, but she didn't go home for ten days and a half months, so she might as well stay with her.
However, this was his apartment, and she easily kept her belongings out of the way, and she didn't have any personal belongings except for clothes and the like.
What's more, when it is placed outside, this thing is afraid of ashes and falls.
She put the music box into the original brocade box and opened the small drawers, which were full of small bits and pieces, such as unpaired cufflinks, thank you letters from charitable foundations, old Christmas cards, and discontinued checkbooks......
She looked through it like a child digging for a treasure, all of which he used every day, the old air in it, and she thought about his life when she didn't know him when she wasn't around him.
She found a relatively empty drawer, and was about to put the box in, but half of it was stuck outside, she pulled it out, reached in and touched it, and it turned out that there was a box against the edge of the drawer, no wonder it couldn't be put in.
She took the box out, and what was inside? Perhaps some more bits and pieces, she uncovered the box.
It's all photos, and the top one is a group photo.
Her left hand gradually let go, and the carton containing the music box fell to the ground with a "bang", she squatted down to pick it up blankly, and the box in her right hand also fell to the ground, and the photos were scattered all over the ground. She picked up the music box and opened it, it was already broken, and the jingling crystal shards fell to the ground and landed on those pictures, the woman in the photos had a pair of charming eyes, eyes that she was all too familiar with, her own eyes that could be seen in the mirror every day.
She put down the music box and picked up the group photo, which was engraved on the back: "Bringing the stars to New York." ”
She dizzily stared at the familiar people and backgrounds in the photo.
She recognized it, the background was on the terrace of that hotel in New York, taken at night.
"The night view is better, I invite you to come and see it."
His words rang in her ears again.
He had lived there with the star, and little by little the facts became clear, and it became more and more difficult for her to breathe.
She knelt on the ground and looked through the photos one by one, taken domestically, taken abroad, a group photo of the two, and a solo photo......
The familiar eyes in the photo seemed to be alive, staring at her coldly.
She overwhelmed the photo, she knelt there like a fool, facing the wolf on the ground, she remembered Shi Mu's words: "He loves you...... I don't know why, but he does love you. ”
Now she finally understands that he does love her, and because she looks like a person, he loves her.
In other words, he has never loved her, not even the slightest liking, all his feelings are for the stars, for her resemblance to the stars, he loves her as another person, he loves her as the stars.
And she was kept in the dark!
She suddenly felt stupid.
She thought that the person in his heart was Shi Mu, until Shi Mu told himself that the person in his heart was not her.
Her knees tingled slightly.
She was not qualified to ask for it, she was not qualified to ask him to love her, but her chest seemed to be holding her breath, which was unbearable, almost suffocating.
He was so good to her, so good that she had extravagant hopes.
She shouldn't, but a chill came up in his heart, and he couldn't treat her like this.
If he didn't give her this luxury from the beginning, he could do whatever he wanted.
Now that he has given it, but he has categorically turned out the truth, how can she be embarrassed?
She knew that she was too greedy, but she was like a moth to a fire, the fire was him, she couldn't stop, like a car that had lost its brakes, speeding straight away, how could she stop?
She suddenly realized that she couldn't stay here and still and that Yi Zhen would come back at any time.
She was so anxious that she reached for the picture that had been laid out on the floor, and hurriedly put it back in the box.
was picking it up, and there was a sudden pain on his fingertips, which turned out to be pierced by the crystal slag, and a round bead of blood immediately came out, and landed on a photo with a "click", splashing into a big blood flower.
