14. Encounters in fate
Fate is sometimes like two threads, where they meet once and then meet a second time.
Regarding the relationship between Li Youbin and Lu Chaoling, I don't know how to conclude, like love, but not love.
Love is two people who cannot be separated, and it is difficult for each other to live alone without each other. But Li Youbin and Lu Chaoling have their own small circles even if they are separated.
Li Youbin raised a fish, which was given by Lu Chaoling.
Fish are difficult to feed, and we all know that changing the water a little earlier or a day later will affect its life.
The fish only lived for a week in Li Youbin's hands.
When Li Youbin saw it floating on the surface of the water with its belly turned up, he had a premonition that there would be a war imminently.
He originally wanted to throw it in the trash can and buy another one to hide it from Lu Chaoling.
Later, after thinking about it, I told her.
Her reaction was far greater than she had imagined.
"What? You actually raised it to death? That's what I gave you, alas, you don't value what I give you at all, you know that I have carefully kept a stone you gave me until now. ”
"Isn't it just a fish......" Li Youbin underestimated in a low voice, he felt that Lu Chaoling was a little unreasonable.
"Just a fish? That's what I gave you, my heart, you just keep it as a fish? ”
"I was wrong."
Li Youbin doesn't understand the logic of these women, but he knows that no matter what happens, it's right to take the initiative to admit his mistakes. But this time it doesn't seem to work very well.
"If you get it wrong, it's over?" Lu Chaoling is still aggressive.
"You're not my girlfriend, what else do you want me to do?" Li Youbin was also a little angry, and his tone was a little blunt, but he regretted it when he said this.
Really.
"Then you don't have to look for me again!"
At that time, Li Youbin was still very angry, and felt that Lu Chaoling was a little inexplicable, and then he was relieved, girls, there are always a few days in a month when his temper is unstable, he may have just bumped into it, and it should be good for him to apologize in the past few days.
It's really a little unaccustomed to Lu Chaoling in life, it's nothing at first for a few days, but the more unnatural it becomes, and I always feel that life is less interesting.
In desperation, I went to the "wine shop" again.
The restaurant is still as clean as ever, and the owner is as enthusiastic as ever, the only change is that the decoration style of the store has changed, and the whole thing has been renovated.
"Why is it alone today, without a little girlfriend?" The owner of the liquor store took a bottle from the shelf and put it on the table.
"It's awkward, and she's not my girlfriend."
"Oh, girls, they all love face, just coax." The boss automatically ignored the second half of Li Youbin's sentence and took two wine cups.
"What is this?" Li Youbin showed a puzzled expression on the wall directly around him, knowing that the boss was a nostalgic person, and for some reason he had renovated the store, and he had changed his previous melancholy style, which looked quite comfortable.
"It's nothing, it's just that the old store is really a bit old, so let's renovate it."
"That's right, it's time to decorate."
"How many drinks together? Today I please. The boss picked up the bullpen and unscrewed the cap of the bottle, and he seemed to be in a good mood.
"Don't have to make food?"
"Someone did it today." The boss smiled mysteriously.
"Drink one, then."
Although I was puzzled, I didn't ask.
Li Youbin picked up the wine bottle and poured one for one person.
"Come!"
When you are in a bad mood, alcohol is the best medicine, no matter how bad the mood is, drinking a little alcohol will make you feel much more comfortable.
And it's not just about curing this, it's also very warm to drink some wine when it's particularly cold in winter, and Li Youbin was still cold and his face was red and his nose was blue when he first came in. Two cups of white wine in my stomach, I feel that my whole body is warm.
After drinking for a while, a thin woman came out of the kitchen with two plates of roast lamb.
"Who is this?" Li Youbin cast a questioning look at his boss.
"My daughter-in-law." The owner explained.
Li Youbin nodded.
The woman looked very virtuous, put the barbecue on the table and smiled at Li Youbin, and then went back to the kitchen.
"Coming back?" Li Youbin looked at the boss.
"I'm back." The boss smiled from the bottom of his heart, and he smiled happily.
He picked up the wine cup: "Let's go?"
"Let's go!"
After a glass of wine, the boss ate a mouthful of meat and told the story of his daughter-in-law's departure.
He hadn't been home for a week on a business trip, and she couldn't stand it anymore and left.
In fact, the men she wrote about were all lying to him, just to make him die, and he could live a good life without her.
She really thought that he had someone outside, and she was really sad and disappointed in him.
When she first left, she went to live at a friend's house, and then she thought that she was embarrassed to live in someone else's house and do nothing, so she went out to find a job by herself.
It's hard to find a job, especially someone like her who didn't go to college.
Later, she was introduced to a job, and the treatment sounded good, but she didn't care so much at that time, and when she heard that someone wanted her, she hurried to go, who knew that she had entered a pyramid marketing organization.
After entering, she was taken to Yunnan, and the people inside asked her to call others to collect money, but she refused to live or die, so she was locked up and beaten.
Sometimes she couldn't stand it and thought about compromise, but when she remembered the person she could pull, she gritted her teeth and endured it, and she regretted it then, she felt that she shouldn't leave him, and even sometimes felt that she might die there, maybe she would never see him again in her life.
She was still very lucky, someone from the pyramid scheme organization that tricked her into escaping, and after escaping, she called the police, and the stronghold in Yunnan was served by the police, and she came out.
She didn't go to him after she came out, and she felt that she was sorry for him.
She couldn't insist on this relationship to the end, and she didn't have the face to see him.
She returned to Lanzhou and opened a store in Chengguan called "Jiujiu".
Chengguan was an hour and a half away from Taolin, and every once in a while she would return there to look at him from afar.
At that time, she realized that he had never cheated, and he had been living alone since she left.
She cried, she wanted to rush over and hug the man she loved so much, but she never took that step, she had her concerns.
Once, when she came back, she ran into a former neighbor and talked to her about him.
The neighbor told her that he missed her a lot and that he had been waiting for her after she was gone, hoping that she would be able to go back.
She was moved, but in the end she didn't have the courage to go up to him.
Until one day, she went to see him again after she was free, but she didn't expect to bump into him as soon as she got out of the car.
The four eyes are so familiar.
They all cried, and they cried with smiles on their faces.
Tears washed away the sadness and longing for several years, and then he took her back.
She told him about her experiences over the years, and he listened attentively and told her that no matter what became of her, he would always love her.
The ending of the story is happy and touching.
By the time I finished listening to this story, it was already dark. Li Youbin took out the money and wanted to settle the bill, but the boss didn't want to live or die.
After returning to school, Li Youbin dialed Lu Chaoling's phone.
The display is unanswered.
He thought: She may have fallen asleep.
