XIII. To love, or not to love
I continued to wander the alleys aimlessly, immersed in the past. Inadvertently, I saw that there were stalls lit up in the depths of the alley, and when I walked over, it was my grandfather and grandmother who were selling wontons.
As soon as I walked to the stall, my grandmother warmly beckoned me to sit down and asked me with a smile: "Girl, I haven't been here for a long time!" ”
I nodded, sat down at the booth, and chatted with my grandmother. Ah Gong and Grandma are locals, and they live in the demolition house next to them, and their children are all out of town, leaving only their old couple. The old couple couldn't help but be idle at home, so they simply made a small wonton stall to sell in the alley, with thin skin and filling, very homely. Although not many people know about it, the people who come here are all regular customers. When I was with my family, I stumbled upon this stall and would often come here at night for supper.
Grandma looked at me with a smile, took my hand and read: "You often come over that meeting, young people nowadays don't want to talk to me, an old woman, you are the most well-behaved, always chat with me, I remember there is a young man." ”
"Grandma, didn't I come, I've changed jobs and stayed away from here during this time." I smiled and interrupted Grandma's memories.
"Old man, you remember to come and see how happy you are." Grandma smiled and said, "You didn't come?" ”
I was embarrassed and didn't know how to answer, when a voice sounded: "Grandma, you're not old, I'm not here." ”
Watching the family greet my grandparents and grandmothers, the sourness in my heart lightened a little. After chatting with the enthusiastic grandmother for a long time, the two of us left. Just when I was glad that I didn't have to be asked by my grandmother, I heard a chuckle next to me.
I looked up, a little confused, and I happened to see the grinning appearance of the results, and I immediately felt a little embarrassed.
"You... I... I wanted to say something, but I felt that it was not clear in a sentence or two, and I didn't know how to say it, so I simply shut up and stopped talking.
Chengjia laughed and said with a smile: "Grandma still likes me so much." ”
Khan, when did the stinky boy become so narcissistic!
"When are we going to come over and eat together?" Cheng Jia restrained his smile and asked me seriously.
Listening to his words, I couldn't help but look up at him, in the dim light under the street lamp, his face was a little unclear, only those bright eyes were still so moving.
"Not anymore." I don't know if to tell him or myself, "I don't think we're going to come together again." ”
"Xiao Jie, in fact, these two years... Cheng Jia hesitated to speak, saying, "I ......"
I looked at the family's tightly knit eyebrows, the pain and self-blame in my eyes, my heart unconsciously softened, and the next moment, I felt that I shouldn't be like this.
"Forget it, I don't blame you." I looked at him with a smile and said, "Let's be friends, I hope we have a good time working together on this project." ”
After listening to my words, Chengjia's brows tightened, and he looked straight at me, the expression on his face was too complicated, I didn't want to think about it anymore, and after a while, I only heard him speak slowly, and said, "Xiao Jie, I don't believe it, you have forgotten everything in the past." ”
I didn't expect Cheng Jia to ask me this, or in such a direct way, maybe he is the same as me in the past, eager to find an affirmation in the relationship he once had. To love, or not to love.
"It's been too long, I really can't remember it." I smiled faintly and said insincerely, "Besides, didn't you already know that I already had a boyfriend." ”
"Because I didn't come back to you?" Cheng Jia continued to ask, and it seemed that my answer was so unbelievable, "Do you hate me?" ”
"No, it's not." I shook my head and said, "Without love, there will be no hate, and now that we all have our own responsibilities, please don't disturb my life anymore." ”
"You're lying, you're lying!" Chengjia was emotional, grabbed me by the shoulder, and said, "No, how can you forget our feelings!" ”
"Getting married, aren't you hurting me enough? What the hell do you want to do! I shook his arm away and shouted.
Cheng Jia froze in place, staring at me with a straight gaze and saying nothing. I took a deep breath, couldn't take the suffocating feeling any longer, and turned to walk away quickly.
