Chen Ran

When Guo Kai pushed the door in, I was hugging Yue'er and joking that if others knew how our relationship was, I didn't want to say a word, and I was slapped in the face by reality in the next second. For the first few seconds, there seemed to be some blank space in my head. Everything around seems to be like a movie in slow motion, magnifying the expressions of the three people frame by frame and then slowly unfolding in front of them, clear and profound, not letting go of any detail, skillful techniques, and perfect effects.

At this moment, I saw Guo Kai standing by the door, his hand still on the doorknob, not entering, not retreating, just looking at us coldly. Yue'er pushed my arms away, looked at Guo Kai, and then at me, the fear and panic in her eyes were clear. The flush on his face had been replaced by paleness, and cold sweat was only gushing out of his wet forehead. Her hands were so cold, I could feel the chill through my clothes. Yes, she is such a cautious person, in order not to let others find out that our relationship has been painstakingly concealed, today must be because of my trouble and panicked, will forget the fact that she is in the company at the moment, will be in my office by me hug without refusal, you know, on weekdays she has to find nowhere to answer a phone call, in the face of such an unprepared embarrassment and embarrassment, with her heart, her heart has already turned upside down. Looking at the horror and helplessness on her face at this time, I couldn't help but sigh lightly, ignoring Guo Kai beside her, I grabbed Yue'er's shoulders and whispered in her ear, "Girl, it's okay, don't be afraid, everything has me." ”

In fact, after the first few seconds of panic, I quickly calmed down. What about bumping into each other, what about being known, as I said before, I've been following the rules for decades, why can't I just go out of my way for once? Even the Buddha said "if you come, you will be safe", I have not avoided my feelings for Yue'er from the beginning, if it weren't for Xiaojuan's father's car accident, now we have been able to stand in front of people generously, even if the situation in front of me does not allow me to cut through the mess quickly, in my heart is still extremely firm, one day, I will fulfill my promise to Yue'er.

So even in front of Guo Kai at this time, I no longer have to worry about it. Although Yue'er was frightened, when I leaned towards her again, she reflexively blocked my body with my hand. Slightly stunned, I smiled to myself, so I had to withdraw the hand holding her shoulder, patted her on the back, and said gently, "Girl, you go down first, it's okay, believe me." ”

Seeing that she didn't react at all, her empty eyes seemed to be as hopeless as despair, she just stood blankly at the moment, and her heart was sad, I straightened her shoulders and forced her to look into my eyes, "Yue'er, Yue'er, look at me, it's okay, believe me!" ”

Yue'er seemed to come back to her senses, looked at me blankly, but her heart was full of tears, she looked around, as if everything around her had become strange in an instant, and when she looked at me again, she was like a ball of dead ashes, she only nodded mechanically, and then ignored my distress and worry, turned around and walked out of my office quickly.

She kept her head down, and the purple dress was no longer as light and agile as she staggered back, pulling out incongruous folds that tightened my heart layer by layer until I couldn't breathe. When she passed by Guo Kai, she seemed to be stagnant for a moment, but it was only for a moment, and then she rushed out without saying a word.

With a deep sigh in my heart, I turned my head, closed my eyes, and let myself fall back into my seat, only to feel tired.

The voice of the door, I know it is Guo Kai, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, come on, I can't hide from what I should come, and I don't think I need to explain anything or hide anything from Guo Kai. At this moment, I am more concerned about Yue'er, the changes came one after another unexpectedly, and the way she lost her soul just now made me very worried.

Slowly opened my eyes, and saw that Guo Kai had sat down opposite me, staring straight at me without any expression on his face. After a long time, he leaned back, threw me a cigarette, lit it himself, took a puff, dusted off the ashes, and looked at me like a torch, "When did it start?" ”

A helpless smile tugged at the corner of my mouth, I took the cigarette and lit it myself, without looking into his eyes, I spit out a puff of smoke at the ceiling, and said after a while, "The day you got married." ”

Guo Kai's hand holding the cigarette suddenly stopped in mid-air, staring at me in disbelief, as if he didn't know me, "Sister-in-law was still here at that time, right?" "I closed my eyes and thought about it, and smiled to myself, "No wonder my sister-in-law was temporarily determined to leave, no wonder I couldn't find anyone after calling you that day, I really thought that my sister-in-law was worried about her work transfer, heh, I didn't expect ......" said and sat up straight and glanced at me, "Are you really here?" ”

I chuckled, but I couldn't hide the bitterness, and I didn't avoid his gaze, "What do you think?" ”

As if he wasn't sure what I meant, Guo Kai looked at me and probed again, "You won't come really, will you?" ”

I glanced at him, his face was dark, he took a puff of cigarette, I turned my head to look out the window, and said no more.

"Brother, do you have to do this?" Guo Kai extinguished the cigarette butt, as if he was too far away from me, and moved the chair forward, "You and your sister-in-law live separately, thousands of miles apart, man, I understand, especially like us, soaking in Vanity Fair every day, it is inevitable that there will be times when we make a scene, but it's over, no one should worry about anyone, you drag mud and water and still talk about love, but it's a big taboo!" While hating iron is not steel, he pointed at me and said, "Don't believe the nonsense of 'the red flag at home does not fall, and the colorful flags flutter outside'!" Those are all bastards who have not been through the world, how many of them have a good end? You Chen Ran can be regarded as an old man, don't you understand such a simple truth? Why do you think you're smart and confused?! ”

Guo Kai finished speaking in one breath, I don't know if it was because of weakness or shortness of breath or emotion, he was a little out of breath. I don't speak, Guo Kai's reaction is really normal, in the past, I must have known everything so well when I encountered someone else's situation. As he said, I am also an old man, how can I not understand such a simple truth. But it is precisely because I understand that I know that many times, the feelings between people are only the best known to the parties themselves, and there is no way or need to explain the misunderstanding and incomprehension of others, which is like "like people drinking water, cold and warm self-knowing", each of us, in the end, is just living our own way, others, outsiders, when did we really participate in our lives?

So I didn't answer Guo Kai's words, because I can't explain it and can't explain it clearly, this kind of thing will only be understood if I experience it. I just smoked silently and let him continue his high-minded talk bitterly, "Chen Ran, have you considered your sister-in-law's feelings?" If it wasn't for my sister-in-law's fulfillment, how could I have today's Kairan? Over the years, you have been separated for a long time, and your sister-in-law is a woman, and it is not easy for her! Now that Kairan has developed well, you and I don't have to worry about food and clothing, do you really respond to the sentence 'full of warm thoughts and desires?' Why do you follow the men in the TV series who look for a mistress when they have money, and when you meet a younger one, you can't hold it? ”

His mouth seemed to be a little dry, but he couldn't find water for a while, and when he saw that there was a cup in front of me, he didn't shy away from it, so he took a sip, "And that Li Yue'er, you said that you are a little girl, what do you want?" I didn't mean to slander her, to put it bluntly, it's just for money or love, right? If it's for money, to put it mildly, with Kai Ran's current strength, I know that you Chen Ran has that capital, you buy her a house and buy jewelry or just give her money, I don't think it's anything, but you have to put your feelings into it, hey, Chen Ran, we are businessmen, what are businessmen, no profit can not be early, do not do loss-making transactions, you pay money and heart and lungs like this, why is it not cost-effective? As he spoke, he took out another cigarette and lit it, and continued, "If it's for love, well, the little girl is simple, not our vulgar people, then I ask you, what are you going to give her?" Don't tell me you're done with her as soon as you have a deep affection for her, and she just graduated from college not long ago, right? Does she want to get married in the future? Do you want to start a family? People are only in their twenties, and they are still very good all their lives, so do they always play these platonic love games with you? You just can't bear to let people hide and follow you for the rest of your life? Even if she wanted to, what about her family? What about her parents? Would you like to do the same? Chen Ran, let me ask you, what are you going to do? ”

"I will give her marriage" Guo Kai knew me like a bean and was moved by emotion, he was right, I couldn't agree more, because I had already thought about these situations, but he didn't know. So I don't think I need to say much at this moment, I threw the burned cigarette butt in my hand, and I caught his words in one mouthful, "Actually, if it weren't for Xiaojuan's father's car accident, Xiaojuan and I would have broken up by now." ”

Guo Kai's eyes widened, looking at me in disbelief, and he couldn't care about smoking the cigarette in his mouth, "What?!" Chen Ran, what did you say? Are you crazy?! ”

I ignored his surprise and just stared at him expressionlessly, "I think I've made it clear." ”

"Your kid is the year of his birth, right? It's too old, it's a evil! Guo Kai took down his cigarette, "Do you know what you're talking about now?" Sister-in-law, does she know? ”

Seeing me shake his head, Guo Kai slapped the table, pointed at me and said, "Then how can you say such a thing?!" As soon as your sister-in-law's father left, you kept saying that you wanted to marry another woman, and then you made your sister-in-law embarrassed, have you ever heard of 'the wife of the bad chaff does not go to court'? What's the difference between you and those scumbags you used to despise?! As he spoke, he glanced at the wedding ring on his hand hatefully, "Are you watching me marry a student, and you can't hold it yourself?" Find a young one to look like you're charming, and you're not inferior to me at all?! ”

"Enough Guo Kai!" I heard him speak more and more, and interrupted him, "I have my own measure in the matter between Yue'er and Xiaojuan. I don't have anything else to say at the moment, just one sentence," I looked up at him and paused, "I have to think about Yue'er until this matter is dealt with, so I hope you can keep it a secret for me." ”

Guo Kai silently finished his cigarette, noncommittal, after a long time, he only heard him sigh heavily, and when he looked at me again, he lost the excitement just now, "Needless to say, even if it is for my sister-in-law, I will not confide in a single star." Who doesn't know, these things, no matter what outsiders say, are all adding to the chaos, and I still understand this truth. Fu smiled to himself, "You're right, you're older than me, how can you be out of proportion." Then he stood up and dusted off his cigarette ashes, and he paused, "You can do it yourself." After saying that, he walked out of my office without looking back.
