26. Familiar strangers
Living in different time periods, we are like the same person in two parallel worlds, experiencing the same or similar things that have happened over and over again.
It's a miraculous phenomenon, but it can't be explained.
Li Youbin and Alan met during the winter vacation of their sophomore year of high school, and they became lovers soon after they met.
It's not a lover either.
Lovers are in love with each other, eat and sleep together, and cannot live alone without each other.
To be precise, the two of them are objects, and they came together because of loneliness, loneliness, or other reasons.
When they first got together, it was probably because of the rapid secretion of male hormones, Li Youbin always felt that he was in love with Alain.
After a hurried meeting, he went back to school, and after returning to school, he talked on the phone.
At the beginning, I didn't have my own mobile phone, so I used my parents' mobile phone to call secretly.
It's like most long-distance relationships.
At first, I felt very warm and happy to make a phone call for an hour or two every day.
But people are always forgetful, and after being separated for a long time, parents may be able to forget everything, not to mention the little couple who came together for some reason.
It's really good to get together and disperse.
One day in class, Li Youbin received a call from Alan when he was secretly smoking in the toilet, as if he had said it in advance, he seemed to know what she was going to say, so he didn't rush to speak.
Alain only said one sentence: "Let's break up."
The rest of the story is known.
I haven't seen her for three years, and it's quite shocking to meet her in this place.
More than shock, I was overwhelmed and embarrassed, two people knew each other, but they had to pretend not to know each other.
It can't even be summed up simply by understanding, it should be said that it is very familiar, and they all know each other's birthdays clearly.
The basketball game is actually not much to see, and it is very fast.
Or maybe the attention is elsewhere. Anyway, it was already more than five o'clock in the evening when I reacted, and the basketball game ended at half past five that day.
At this time, Alan is going back, and there is also a classmate of hers who comes with her, who is not from the same village, but plans to go to her house for a walk, and it is normal for the New Year.
Coincidence exists at any time, the girl with Alan is called Guo Jing, who has been with Bruce Lee, although she broke up, she has always maintained a good relationship.
Bruce Lee has never given up and wants to find a chance to reconcile with her. Opportunities are hard to find, and he definitely doesn't want to miss a great opportunity like sending her.
But it's always uncomfortable to have someone like Alain behind.
He eventually turned to Li Youbin for help.
He is very clear about Li Youbin and Alain, and even the two of them only met each other through Bruce Lee, so it can be said that Bruce Lee played a role in connecting the two of them.
It's good to talk to him.
"Help."
Seeing Bruce Lee's cheap expression, Li Youbin was very helpless.
Helpless is helpless, but he didn't refuse, in fact, he also has a lot of things to say to Alain.
Bruce Lee seems to be pleading, but in fact he gave Li Youbin a step, and Li Youbin is not an open-minded head.
"Okay."
borrowed Li Baoming's motorcycle, Bruce Lee carried Guo Jing, and Alan naturally got into Li Youbin's car.
Li Baoming and Li Xiongwei didn't know about the special relationship between Li Youbin and Alain, so they only thought that Bruce Lee called to help.
Alan's home is Majia Village, which is quite far from Yanjia Village, first a dirt road, and then a section of road to get there.
From Yanjia Village to the highway, the two of them have been silent.
Li Youbin is notoriously crazy in cycling, and soon, Bruce Lee has been dumped several ways.
At this speed, other girls might have been yelling, but Alain didn't say a word, perhaps because of the embarrassment of their special relationship.
Li Youbin is a very talkative person, and the most unbearable thing for him is silence.
I couldn't help it, so I pretended to be calm and said, "What are you doing now?"
Probably didn't expect Li Youbin to speak suddenly, Alan would react for a while, and was silent for a long time before replying: "What about you?"
Alan is two years younger than Li Youbin, and she was only in her third year of junior high school when he was in his second year of high school.
"Go to university in Lanzhou." Li Youbin suppressed his throat and tried his best to make his voice sound calm, "After separation, are you doing well?" ”
This is the question Li Youbin wants to ask the most, even if he has never paid sincerely, every man will still have some vanity, and he hopes that girls can always think of him after breaking up with him.
"Pretty good, how about you?"
"I'll be like that, in fact, I was quite sad after separating from you, I was a little uncomfortable at the time, but then I slowly got better."
"Heh, I don't know who just broke up with me here and talked about a girlfriend over there."
Alain's tone was full of mockery.
Li Youbin was a little embarrassed, he went to chase Cheng Shuhan after he separated from Alain, he gave true feelings to Cheng Shuhan at that time, and although the result was not very good, it was all a memory.
For Alain's ridicule, Li Youbin also has corresponding reasons.
"At that time, you said that you broke up, it was a little sudden for me, I wanted to be angry, so I went to chase a female classmate in the class, but I didn't expect her to agree."
The words that he didn't pay his heart to Alan and that he had true feelings for Cheng Shuhan could never be said, so it is estimated that he would be really a complete stranger to her.
Li Youbin actually doesn't want to be in a too strange situation with Alain, after all, there was a story.
"Didn't you keep it in the first place?" There was some loss in Alain's tone, probably due to his disappointment with Li Youbin.
She may have just been in a bad mood and wanted to be angry with Li Youbin, Li Youbin took it seriously, there was no intention of redemption, it seemed to be very relaxed.
It's really relaxing.
For Li Youbin, who already likes Cheng Shuhan, he is relieved, and he doesn't have to worry about Cheng Shuhan finding out about his relationship with Alan all the time.
He was very selfish, and if Alain had truly loved him, he would have broken her heart.
Sometimes, as long as the anger between lovers is saved a little, many later stories may not happen.
The saddest thing in the world is not that there is no turning back, and that there is no retention.
Sadly, one wants to go back, and the other doesn't want to stay.
Love words are sometimes spoken, and what is said is not necessarily from the heart.
After arriving at Alain's house, she beckoned him and Bruce Lee to his house for tea, and he did not refuse.
It was the first time he had been to her house.
Her family is not wealthy, but they are very friendly.
After entering the door, they were given tea stews and beckoned them to drink.
Li Youbin didn't drink, and sat on the edge of the kang with Bruce Lee and drank some tea before going back.
On the way back, he asked Bruce Lee, "How are you with her?"
"How's that?"
"Are you reconciled?"
"I feel like I'm hanging."
"I don't think it's a problem."
"Hopefully, what about you?"
"What?"
"You and Alain?"
"I didn't think about reconciliation."
