Verse 33: The days after the breakup
After Lin Jun drank the whiskey, we got up and left our seats, and when I paid the bill, Lin Jun grabbed my money, stuffed it into my pocket, and settled the bill with the money himself, but I couldn't resist him, so I had to give up. When we left the small bar, the female singer was taking a break, and her eyes were on Lin Jun from time to time, and his charm was indeed not small! Lin Jun's body was a little shaky due to the effects of alcohol, so I helped him from the small bar all the way to his studio, and rushed back to the dormitory after settling him in. On the way, I thought as I walked, why is it so complicated to solve a simple problem? Why, exactly? I looked up and looked ahead, and suddenly noticed that Lin Jun's girlfriend was walking far ahead along the lamppost on the side of the campus road, walking very slowly and hesitating. Why hasn't she gone back to the dormitory so late? In a few moments, the dormitory will be closed. I even guess that when they got over the fight in the evening, when Lin Jun let her go, she didn't go back to the dormitory, but waited to go to Lin Jun's studio! Because she was walking very slowly, so as not to remind her of the embarrassment, I had to light a cigarette, stop and sit on the side of the road for a while, and then move on again. It wasn't until she entered the dormitory door that I hurried back to the dormitory in three steps and two steps, but luckily I ran in just as the dormitory management was about to lock the door.
I didn't see him for a week after Lin Jun got drunk. I met his girlfriend a few times, but of course she didn't see me. When I saw Lin Jun again, he seemed to have recovered from his pain. As usual, they come to me to drink and talk as if nothing had happened. Since then, we haven't talked about the same topics we talked about that day in the little bar, and we deliberately avoided talking about anything in it, as if it had become a forbidden place, never to be stepped on again.
Thirteen months after their breakup, Melly became Lin Jun's girlfriend, however, shortly after the second semester of their junior year, after the concert, Lin Jun and Melly also broke up.
Their breakup, like when they were in love, caused some discussion at school, which was inevitable, and since it attracted the attention of others at the beginning, it could not help but have some aftermath when it ended. What kind of voices did those so-called bystanders make? There are those who regret, there are those who gloat, and there are those who don't say a word, in the final analysis, they are all some boring idle talk capital, which has no other use than to kill time. Since then, Lin Jun has never had a new girlfriend until graduation. Unlike his previous girlfriend, Lin Jun and Melly would greet each other politely when they met on campus, rather than like his previous girlfriend - like strangers; He and Melly seemed to be back to square one.
"Do you think that's weird?" Lin Jun asked.
"I'm afraid it can't be said to be strange." I replied, "Instead, I learned to be calm!" ”
"Yes! That's what you're talking about! There's nothing wrong with being calm. ”
"Yes, but a lot of people can't!"
"While others need time to learn this, the time between me and her has been greatly reduced!"
I nodded.
"Being able to face it calmly doesn't mean we haven't been in love!"
"Of course!"
"Maybe next time I'll pursue her in reverse!" Lin Jun said.
"Ready to do that?"
"How is that possible!" Lin Jun said with a smile.
In the days after they broke up, when I occasionally met Melly, I would say hello or smile, and sometimes I would say a few words, all of which were polite greetings. I often see boys pursuing her following her on the road, but I find that Melly's expression, without exception, is like a cloud of air behind her.
