Chapter 39: Rejected
Early the next morning, I received a text message from Sijie, saying that I was already on the plane and would take off back to Beijing immediately.
I replied with a nice ride, then put down my phone and went back to sleep.
About half an hour later, my phone rang again, this time not a text message, but an incoming call.
I took my phone and saw that it was Erya.
I was surprised, didn't Sijie say that he would take off immediately half an hour ago, how could he still make a phone call on the plane?
Or did Erya lose her phone? The person who picked up the phone called it at random?
I pressed the answer button.
It's Erya.
"Still sleeping? I don't know how to send me. ”
I don't understand what Erya is talking about.
"Didn't you fly half an hour ago? Plane delayed? ”
"Qin Lang has returned to Beijing, I will take the train back to Sichuan in two hours, do you want to come to the station to see me off!"
It's about half an hour's drive from my school to the train station, and I can stay with Erya for about an hour.
"You wait for me."
I'm still a licking dog!
When I arrived at the station, I learned that Erya was originally going to fly to Beijing with Sijie, and the itinerary was temporarily adjusted because my grandmother missed her.
"Your reason is quite far-fetched......" I said to Erya with a smile.
"Is it so hard that you think it's a far-fetched reason for grandma to miss her grandson?" Erya asked me rhetorically.
The train station is not a good place to chat. We ordered chips and coffee at KFC and managed to find a corner by the window to sit down.
"How is the project of the Four Rings discussed?" I've got to find a topic to get through the hour, and while I really wish time could go slower and we can talk about the two of us, I can't do it all.
"I don't interfere with his work." Erya told me, "I don't ask, and he doesn't say either." ”
So, the topic of my opening statement was directly ended.
"You two...... Pretty good? I didn't dare to look up at Erya, so I drank coffee with my head down and asked in a low voice.
"Hmm...... OK. Erya's answer was also very quiet.
Actually, I know, this topic is also a nonsense. I know what kind of person Sijie is, and it is impossible for him to be bad to Erya.
"Why don't you find a topic?" After racking my brains, I decided to throw the matter of opening the topic to Erya. I thought to myself, since you took the initiative to let me send you, I should have something to say and something to ask.
Erya was silent for a while, took a sip of coffee, and asked the first question, "Why did you and Ding Ding break up?" ”
I didn't know that Erya would ask such a question, thinking that out of the concern of a friend, she and Sijie were in and out of pairs, and looking at me alone was only a little pity for me after all.
"There are many things in a relationship that have no reason," I smiled a little wryly, "I feel it, I am together, and if I feel it, I am separated." ”
There was silence again.
I hated the damn silence, I decided to do something different, I wanted to break through myself, but the words came to my lips and I was beaten back by cowardice.
"Erya, actually......" I said, "actually...... Sijie has liked you since junior high school......"
I finally didn't say anything, and replaced Ermao with Sijie and said.
"yes, I know." Erya's answer was unfazed, "Qin Lang told me." ”
"Then you must be happy." My heart is more bitter than the coffee in my hand, and I can only force the sugar to bless them and say that it is very sweet.
"Well, you too, find your happiness as soon as possible."
I don't know if this conversation in the crowded and noisy KFC next to the train station is a formal emotional goodbye from the parties in their youth.
At the intersection of phoenix blossoms, our emotions finally go to the left and the other to the right.
……
Because I was busy with the preparations for the Dong'an Peach Blossom Theme Poetry Club, and the decryption of the story behind the class reunion ten years ago, I didn't have contact with Erya and Huahua for several days.
I have never fulfilled the private work assigned to me by the editor-in-chief. Finally, the preparations for the theme poetry meeting of the magazine were nearing the end, and I also took the initiative to call Sijie's mother.
"Auntie, I'm Da Chun, I want to make an appointment with you and talk to you." I said politely on the other end of the phone.
"Da Chun," Sijie's mother was very warm and polite on the other end of the phone, "Auntie invited you to dinner that night, what do you want to eat?" ”
I know that my aunt has always treated me as her own child, so when she answered my phone, she did not look like the image of a company chairman, but rather a mother.
This made me a little embarrassed, after all, after Sijie went, I never cared about my aunt, and I took the initiative to invite someone when I had something to ask.
We didn't end up having dinner together, because as soon as I hung up the phone, my aunt called me back, saying that there was a meeting in the company an hour later, and she forgot it, and the secretary just came to remind her to remember, so if she was in a hurry, she would go to the office to talk, and if she wasn't in a hurry, she would make an appointment with me when she had time.
I went to the office building of the Langyi Group.
When I passed by the general manager's office, I deliberately didn't look at the office that I had been to countless times, but I couldn't help but glance at it.
The closed gate resembles the stone cover on the tomb of the Four Rings.
My aunt received me warmly.
In the past, I often came to Langyi Group, but I basically smoked and drank tea in Sijie's office, and rarely came to my aunt's office to sit, at most I just said hello before leaving.
Although the aunt is the chairman, the office is a little smaller than that of Sijie, which is more compact and pragmatic.
I didn't go around in circles with my aunt, and I directly picked out the intention.
Auntie smiled, I think it should be a smile that I haven't seen in a long time. "Did your editor-in-chief know from you that the operating company behind Yiyuan Village is controlled by Langyi Group?"
"No, no," I told my aunt, "I wouldn't know if it wasn't for the editor-in-chief." Later, I checked it with Tianyan and realized that what the editor-in-chief said was true. ”
I didn't tell my aunt, and Sijie didn't mention it to me, because I didn't want to take the initiative to mention Sijie in front of my aunt, so as not to arouse her heartache.
I didn't want to, but my aunt took the initiative to mention the four precepts. "It's normal that you don't know, and Qin Lang doesn't know either."
I know that my aunt's subtext is that if you don't know the four precepts, it is impossible to tell me, so it is even more impossible for me to know.
I didn't know how to answer, so I could only say, "Auntie, you've been doing well lately." ”
Auntie smiled again, "Don't worry, Auntie is stronger than you think." Auntie is fine. ”
My aunt told me to herself that she couldn't fall because there were hundreds of people and hundreds of families behind her. "I can't fall down because there are still thousands of people waiting for me to start eating."
I suddenly felt that my aunt was very noble, and I sighed to myself.
The secretary came over again to remind the aunt of the meeting time.
"Auntie, then I'll go first, what I just said...... "I took the initiative to say goodbye!"
"Go back and tell you the editor-in-chief, don't embarrass you, and don't embarrass the child."
I don't know if my aunt rejected me, but I didn't have the courage to complain about my aunt, I just felt that it was not easy for her.
