Chapter 31: The Story

After a full meal, the two decided to take a slow walk to the Foreigner's Street to see the famous bar street. At eight o'clock in the evening, when the foreigner street was not yet lively, the beautiful women and handsome guys in various bars were already soliciting guests at the door, and from time to time you could see foreigners shuttling through the crowd, because there were only two people, Qin Xiaotian didn't want to go to too noisy bars, those dynamic bars are suitable for going crazy with friends, but not very suitable for lovers. The two of them found a bar to kill time, and the atmosphere in the bar was very good, and the resident singer was checking the tuning equipment and guitar.

"What do you two want to drink?" A good-looking promotional courteous asked, seeing that she was wearing a Carlsberg skirt, it must be a promotion of this brand!

Qin Xiaotian looked at Yuan Dutian, obviously wanting to see what he meant. "Can you drink beer?" Yuan Dutian had never seen Qin Xiaotian drink, so he didn't know if she could drink it. Qin Xiaotian originally wanted to pretend that he wanted to drink juice or something, but when he entered the bar without taking two sips, he always felt sorry for the name of the bar, so he generously replied: "I can drink a little." ”

"Then it's going to be half a dozen Carlsberg Ice Pure." Yuan Dutian returned the wine list to the female promotion, and ordered two more plates of snacks.

Qin Xiaotian originally thought that Yuan Dutian was a gentleman who didn't smoke or drink, a little withdrawn and unconventional, but he didn't expect that he actually knew wine, and when he was in his apartment before, she had seen his collection of red wine. "I thought you were a person who didn't smoke or drink and didn't like all bad habits, but today it seems that I was wrong before."

Yuan Dutian smiled slightly under the blue-purple changing light, a little charming. "You really think wrong, you think of me as a person who has no childhood, no youth, no youth, only knows how to progress and does not know the world, how is it possible? Brother, I also went to college, and I also did what young people should do, otherwise how can I mix in society! In the past, people in our dormitory used to go out for drinks and supper, and we won a treat by playing cards, so I was often the one who paid for it. Yuan took a sip of lemonade.

The first time Qin Xiaotian heard Yuan Dutian talk about his college days, she really wanted to know what Yuan Dutian's college life was like, and traveling could really deepen each other's understanding of each other. She is full of interest in Yuan Dutian's past and just wants to hear him tell stories about the past.

The beer was placed on the table, Qin Xiaotian filled a glass for Yuan Dutian, then poured a glass for himself, raised the wine glass, hooked his lips to clink glasses with Yuan Dutian. "I've never heard you talk about your school days, but listening to you talk about it has aroused my curiosity, and I want to know what you were like when you were in school, can you tell me tonight?" After speaking, he touched the wine glass in his hand with the wine glass held by Yuan Dutian, and took a big sip of beer. Drinking too violently, a little choking, Qin Xiaotian covered his mouth, patted his chest, and ignored his own embarrassment, and said, "I haven't drunk for a long time, and I'm a little unaccustomed to it." ”

Yuan Dutian poured a glass of wine into his mouth and asked, "What do you want to hear?" ”

"Tell me about the fun things you had when you were in school!" Qin Xiaotian looked straight at Yuan Dutian with his chin pinched, his eyes full of anticipation. At this time, the sound of the guitar sounded slowly, and the whole bar was filled with an ambiguous and dark atmosphere, and a warm and sad male voice played and sang an old song "Hurt Your Responsibility" by Pinguan.

"Interesting?" Yuan Dutian pressed his temples, as if he was thinking about what had happened to him.

"It seems like a good idea to find something interesting, but there's one thing I barely talk to anyone about." Yuan Dutian's eyes were so far away, and they were a little empty, as if she had fallen into a world that Qin Xiaotian had never been in contact with, but this sentence "almost never mentioned it to anyone" aroused Qin Xiaotian's infinite interest, and she thought that she could become one of the few people who knew Yuan Dutian's inner secrets, which showed that she was special.

"What's the matter?" Qin Xiaotian couldn't hide his excitement about listening to other people's privacy.

"I actually have a younger sister." Speaking of this, Yuan Dutian drank a glass of wine by himself, and did not look at Qin Xiaotian, his gaze was unfocused. "She was 5 years younger than me, suffered from congenital heart disease, and when she was 5 years old, she contracted pneumonia and had a high fever, which caused complications and was not saved. When I was a child, my parents were busy with work, and I remember that I often had to take care of my younger sister, and after I was in the second grade, I used to annoy her because she would stick to me after school, and sometimes I couldn't concentrate on my studies. She often has to go to the hospital, and I have to go with her, and sometimes I have to do my homework in the hospital, and I don't like the smell of the hospital, but I can't help it. Until that day, she closed her eyes in the hospital and never woke up, I felt a panic that I had never felt before, my heart seemed to be taken away, looking at my parents' disillusionment, I only remember that I cried loudly, and I remember that it was the most violent cry when I was a child. For a while, my mother washed her face with tears every day, blaming herself for not taking good care of her, originally wanting to wait for her to grow up and the family to be financially better before giving her surgery, but she couldn't wait until that day. Later, for several years, the atmosphere at home was heavy, and it was not until I was in junior high school that my parents put all their energy into my studies and slowly returned to normal. This incident became a heart disease in our family, and the family kept silent about it, as if they had forgotten that I had a sister, and my parents seemed to have forgotten that they had a daughter. When he said this, Yuan Dutian's face didn't show much expression, he just sighed, Qin Xiaotian saw that his eyes were covered with a layer of mist when he turned his head, but soon the mist dissipated. Wordless silence, Qin Xiaotian didn't know how to comfort Yuan Dutian, this story was too sad, she had to break this embarrassing silence, she began to talk about her childhood wishes.

"You know what? When I was a child, I wanted to have an older brother, and I felt that having an older brother would support me, and if someone bullied me, I could call my brother to deal with the children who bullied me. Once I asked my mom why she didn't give me an older brother, and my mom said I didn't have a brother because I was the first one, and if I wanted to have a younger brother or sister, I asked me if I wanted to, and I said no, because my younger siblings couldn't stand out for me, but maybe they wanted me to help them get ahead. Isn't it funny? After speaking, Qin Xiaotian laughed to himself. Yuan Dutian just raised the corners of his mouth, obviously still thinking about his sister.

"Aren't you going to tell something funny, have you figured it out?" Qin Xiaotian had no choice but to change the topic bluntly.

Yuan Dutian touched his forehead, as if he remembered something, showed a little smile, and told Qin Xiaotian about his middle school.

"Because of my sister's affairs, I hated the hospital and the doctors a little at the time, thinking that they didn't save my sister, and I had to choose to fill in the volunteer for the college entrance examination, in fact, I was entangled for a long time, whether to study medicine to save lives and help the wounded, treat patients like my sister or study law, I didn't have a decision. Later, as it happened, something happened that made me finally choose law. Yuan seems to have recovered from the pain of losing her sister.

"What happened to make you choose the law?" Qin Xiaotian picked up a slice of cold stewed beef and put it in his mouth.

"When I was in junior high school, I also entered a rebellious period, and I was hit by the loss of my sister, so I was also decadent for a while, although I was decadent, I didn't like to get close to anyone, and I didn't have much interest in school, but my grades have always been very good." Yuan Dutian ate a edamame.

"Cut, I hate you the most as a self-righteous honor student, obviously not as hard as us, but the grades have always been among the best. Do you want to tell us that this kind of person who is born with insufficient brains, Young Master Ben is smart, and he can be a top student even if he doesn't attend classes or listen to lectures, right? Qin Xiaotian interjected, since she was a child, she had a natural sense of alienation from those who seemed to have to work hard but had always occupied the position of a scholar, and she was really envious, jealous and hateful.

"You can think so." Yuan Dutian was not ashamed, not modest at all, and returned to his former demeanor.

"One afternoon on my way home from school, I happened to meet a group of thugs who were making trouble with a boy who was wearing our school uniform. You know, I'm a nosy person, so I wanted to walk over as if I didn't see it, but I was stopped by the boy and said a bunch of things like "I don't want to save you when you die", and I don't remember much now, anyway, I just wanted to get the gangsters to pay attention to me, thinking that I was in league with him, so that the people who beat him would turn their attention to me, so that he could take the opportunity to slip away. So I was stopped. The gangsters didn't listen to me, I thought it was useless to explain, and gave him a 'dare to run, expose him' look, no way, in a hurry, the two of them jumped up and fought with those gangsters, the two beat seven or eight people, and I don't know where the courage came from at that time. I probably needed to vent in my heart, and I thought it was very enjoyable, and those gangsters saw that we were fighting hard, and they panicked a little, so they dropped a sentence of 'You wait!' And he ran. After the truce, we looked at each other and realized that we were covered in wounds, the corners of his eyes were injured, and I also had several wounds on my face, and my whole body hurt terribly. In this way, I met Xiang Chao, who was on duty. I skipped a grade, so my classmates around me are older than me, Xiang Chao too, he is usually idle, does not like to study, but is very righteous, I made a head for him, he said that he identified me as a friend, and then came to the class every day to find me, our classmates are very strange how I would play with him, and I don't know why I got close to him. At that time, I also skipped class with him to play a video game or something, but because of my good grades, I didn't skip class continuously, so the teacher didn't look for my parents. Xiang Chao is more miserable, he has always been a problem student, and he has always been asked to be a parent, and I have helped him cover many times. His family conditions are good, and he bought him a place in high school, but when he got to high school, I don't know if he suddenly opened his mind and became diligent, and in the third year of high school, he could actually be admitted to a three-class university. ”

Yuan Dutian drank another glass of wine and continued: "On the third day after the college entrance examination, we asked a group of people to play football, and we didn't want to meet the ball bully on the field, Xiang Chao clashed with the other party in order to fight for the venue, and finally punched their captain in the face, cracking his nose bone, and a few stitches at the end of his eye, the person who was injured was not small, it was the son of the deputy secretary general of the municipal party committee in our city, and it didn't take long for Xiang Chao to be sued by the other party, Xiang Chao was over 18 years old and could bear criminal responsibility, if this is the case, he can't even go to college. In the end, his family used a lot of connections, hired a lawyer, and lost money to suppress the matter. Although he was only detained by public security, he left a stain on his file, and he did not have to study for an undergraduate, but could only study in a second-level college. Through this incident, I found that both lawyers and doctors can actually save people and destroy people, it all depends on what they want to do, laws and morals are everywhere, and they are also very realistic, I think studying law is suitable for people like me who are objective and calm, and have a cold personality, so in the end I chose law. ”

"Then do you still have contact with that Xiang Chao now? Where is he? Qin Xiaotian didn't expect Yuan Dutian to have such a friend, and he was quite a buddy friend.

"Now we often use E-mail to contact ah, he is in Australia, he went abroad at his own expense in his junior year. I ridiculed him at that time, he went abroad to completely ruin the image of Chinese students, and went to play cards and pick up girls every day. Sure enough, he is really diligent in changing girlfriends, his personality attracts girls, and he looks like the type that girls like. Yuan Dutian suddenly missed this old friend a little.

"Didn't anyone say you also like girls? Especially recruiting female students like. Qin Xiaotian also picked up his cup and took a sip of beer.

"You mean you?" Yuan Dutian asked funny.

Qin Xiaotian resisted the urge to squirt wine and said, "I'm talking about your students!" She was referring to Xiao Ruohan.

"I don't think I'm particularly attractive to girls, but there should be a lot of people who like me, but few people dare to confess to me." Yuan Dutian responded cheekily.

"It's good enough to put gold on your face." Although she didn't want to admit that Yuan Dutian had the charm to attract women, Qin Xiaotian had to admit that she was deeply attracted to him.

When the fifth bottle of wine was drunk, Qin Xiaotian's face was already slightly red, she felt a little dizzy in her brain, her nerves became extremely active, and she was even more thirsty for wine. I don't know how to do it, she actually turned out her relationship history. From her junior high school crush to breaking up with Xia Linhan, she pieced together the fragments of memories that had been hidden deep in her mind for a long time, she hid the real reason for breaking up with Xia Linhan, and said some details she remembered. Yuan Dutian never interrupted her, just watched her silently like a patient bystander and listener, occasionally taking a sip of wine.

Qin Xiaotian remembered that this night was the first time she heard Yuan Dutian mention his ex-girlfriend's name: Ren Jingya, and the story between Yuan Dutian and her may not be as speculated by the outside world. The two of them have a deep relationship, Yuan Dutian was a senior when she was a junior, and she started to talk about twilight love when she was about to graduate, but both of them went to graduate school, and later Ren Jingya graduated a year before him, and worked in a law firm in Beijing, originally Yuan Mutian wanted to wait for him to graduate with a doctorate and get married, so he worked very hard and wanted to graduate early, but on the eve of his thesis completion, she suddenly said that she was going to the United States.

Qin Xiaotian was not drunk, she listened to their stories very carefully, for fear of missing a certain detail, when she heard Yuan Dutian say that they were setting off fireworks by the lake together, Ren Jingya sat in the back seat of his bicycle and shuttled around the campus, and the two held hands to watch the stars together, she could imagine their sweet appearance, the illusion in her mind made her heart a little uncomfortable, although she knew that everyone had their own past, and she also had it, but she still couldn't eliminate the mustard in her heart, she comforted herself, it was she who was with Yuan Dutian now, and they could also be very sweet, People have to look forward. She didn't understand, why the two were so in love at that time, Yuan Dutian even gave up a good job in Beijing to come to her hometown for Ren Jingya, but she wanted to go to the United States?

"Why does your ex-girlfriend have to go to the United States? Isn't it nice to be here with you? Qin Xiaotian was a little sympathetic to Yuan Dutian, this handsome and cold, prince-like person to her, but was inexplicably dumped by another woman, what kind of strange love and breakups are there in this world!

"I still haven't fully figured out why she left, and at the beginning I wanted to figure out why she left, but after a long time, I could only think that she didn't love me, and then I didn't bother to think about it." Yuan Dutian's tone couldn't hear the waves of emotion, but Qin Xiaotian could feel it, Yuan Dutian must have been sad and sad about it.

"Didn't you think about going to her?" Qin Xiaotian still didn't understand how a person could abandon his lover so simply, and he didn't come up with a reasonable reason.

"I've thought about it, for a while, I often wanted to quit my job and go to her, but then I calmed down and thought that she probably had her reasons for leaving me, and the best reason I found for her was that she didn't love me anymore, and for someone who didn't love herself, someone who wanted to hide from herself, what was there to find!" Yuan poured the last bit of beer into his stomach.

"Really? What if she has something unspeakable? Don't you regret it? Qin Xiaotian was a little worried that they would miss each other because of a misunderstanding, and she would become a superfluous person by then.

"What's so hard to say that after more than three years, after she went to the United States, we basically didn't have any contact. If there was contact, it was probably only her friends who occasionally asked me how I was doing. ”

"Her friends?" Qin Xiaotian listened to how he felt like Ren Jingya's eyeliner placed by Yuan Dutian's side.

"Well, when I first came to Xiangcheng, she introduced her childhood best friend to me who I knew." Hearing Yuan Dutian say this, Qin Xiaotian felt that Ren Jingya had really arranged for a spy to be by Yuan Dutian's side and pass on his news to her at any time. It's just that Yuan Dutian didn't know it, thinking of this, Qin Xiaotian shuddered in his heart.

"Let's go, the wine is over, and it's getting late." Yuan Dutian got up and wanted to help Qin Xiaotian, but was thrown away by Qin Xiaotian, and said, "I'm not drunk, so I don't need to help." ”

Out of the bar, Qin Xiaotian automatically glued on and grabbed Yuan Dutian's arm. Blown by the wind and sobered up a little, Qin Xiaotian thought of Ren Jingya's sudden departure, and complained to her in her heart, but it made her even more afraid of losing Yuan Dutian, so she couldn't help but tighten Yuan Dutian's arm. It was 11 o'clock when the two returned to the inn, and at this time, Qin Xiaotian was worried about another thing: washing and sleeping.

Without waiting for Yuan Dutian to speak, she said first, "I'm going to wash first." Yuan Dutian nodded, he originally wanted her to wash and rest early. While taking a bath, Qin Xiaotian kept flashing various images in his mind, such as Yuan Dutian suddenly breaking in, or Yuan Dutian would hug her after she went out, or she climbed into her bed while she was sleeping. She wanted to slap herself for her dirty thoughts, and shook her head again and again. When she changed into pajamas and came out, she didn't dare to look at Yuan Dutian's face, and pretended to be calm and said, "I'm done, I'll sleep first, you go wash it quickly!" ”

Yuan Dutian walked up to her and sniffed the back of her neck, exhaled a trace of heat, and said in a somewhat provocative voice: "Well, it's so fragrant, I like to smell it." After saying that, he imprinted a kiss on Qin Xiaotian's neck, Qin Xiaotian Zheng didn't dare to move in place, his body stiffened, and he didn't relax until Yuan Dutian walked into the bathroom, and quickly wiped his hair and climbed into bed to pretend to sleep.

She clearly heard Yuan Dutian's voice coming out of the bathroom, and quickly closed her eyes, not daring to move, not even daring to breathe. Yuan Dutian walked around to her bedside and saw her lying on her side, her back to him, her hair still dry. Qin Xiaotian breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the footsteps moving away, but he didn't think that after a while, Yuan Dutian actually sat on the edge of her bed, and her heart rose to her throat. Then she heard the sound of a hair dryer, and it turned out that Yuan Dutian was looking for a hair dryer to help her dry her hair. She could only continue to pretend to be asleep, and Yuan Dutian didn't care, she played with Qin Xiaotian's long hair very seriously, and carefully blew it with a hair dryer. When it was almost blowing, Yuan Dutian turned off the hair dryer and leaned over to Qin Xiaotian, who was pretending to be asleep, and asked, "Do you want to continue to pretend to be asleep?" Lie down and sleep before your hair is dry, aren't you afraid of a cold and a headache? ”

Qin Xiaotian closed his eyes, thinking that I just didn't speak, I just fell asleep, what can you do to me? . At this time, I heard Yuan Dutian laughing evilly: "Xiaotian, you won't pretend to be asleep because you are afraid of me, right?" ”

Qin Xiaotian felt that there was no need to pretend any longer, so he turned to look at Yuan Dutian and pretended to be sleepy-eyed and said angrily: "You woke me up!" ”

"Did I wake you up? Okay, then you go back to sleep, I just need a goodnight kiss. Yuan Dutian is showing his ability to cheat again.

"Don't!" Qin Xiaotian refused.

"That means you're still afraid of me, afraid of what I'll do to you......" Yuan Dutian deliberately dragged out his tone.

"Yes, I'm just afraid, what's the matter, I'm afraid that you will bully me." Yuan Dutian didn't expect Qin Xiaotian to admit it so simply.

"I don't want to take advantage of you, who do you think I am, really!" After speaking, Yuan Dutian kissed her forehead without waiting for Qin Xiaotian to react, then kissed her nose and lightly touched her lips.

"Good night! We'll have a trip tomorrow! Yuan Dutian touched Qin Xiaotian's face.

Qin Xiaotian covered half of his face with the quilt and smiled secretly. Now I can rest assured and sleep well.

In the silent darkness, Qin Xiaotian's mind was full of what Yuan Dutian looked like and said today, his past, how difficult it seemed to her to tell from his mouth, Qin Xiaotian faintly felt that she understood his deep and unexposed heart. There are probably few lovers who take the initiative to mention their exes, but she feels that this is a sign of mutual trust, which makes her think more and more that Yuan Dutian is a person worth relying on.
