Chapter 45: Xin Yan
was in the training class, and suddenly received a WeChat message from Xin Yan on his mobile phone: I will wait for you at the door of the hotel after class. I immediately put down my phone and swept towards a radius of dozens of meters, disappointed that I didn't see Xin Yan. So, after class, I hurriedly packed up my books and ran out of the hotel.
At the end of September, the sky of Jiangcheng was a quiet autumn blue. Xin Yan wore a sky blue shirt, a black hip-wrapping skirt, and black hair that was scattered over the shoulders. Her golden heeled sandals made her look very tall. She laughed and waved her hand at me.
I walked over to her and saw that she was not holding a training book, so I thought she had not participated in today's training.
But I still knowingly asked, "Didn't you attend the training today?" ”
She smiled, "I quit my job a long time ago, I'm not at the IRS anymore, and I'm looking for a job in Jiangcheng now." I heard that you came to Jiangcheng for training, so I came to see you. ”
"Huh? So how did you know I was training here? ”
She smiled mysteriously, "Let's go, I'll invite you to dinner, talk while eating." ”
Half a year ago, Xin Yan left her original work unit and came to Jiangcheng, and she bluntly confessed to me that she was here for Zhang Teng. Whether it was telling the bitter history of her first arrival in Jiangcheng or her disappointment that Zhang Tengbai couldn't conquer it, Xin Yan always laughed and danced, as if she was not telling her own story, but describing a seemingly funny story to me. I felt sorry for Xin Yan in my heart, and I wondered if there was really something wrong with Zhang Teng's sexual orientation? Over the years, I don't know how many girls have come and gone in obscurity. Now that he meets a girl like Xin Yan who has no hesitation, he still ignores it, could it be that he is really Brother Chao's boyfriend?
After talking about herself, she began to ask me how I was doing. The thought that it has been several days since I came to Jiangcheng, and I was annoyed that Shaoyang didn't even make a phone call, and my "disappearance" was meaningless in his eyes!
When is our current Cold War?
"Xiao Lu, why are you stunned? How are you doing, I ask? ”
"Huh?" When Xin Yan called me like this, I realized that I had been distracted for a long time, and immediately smiled and said, "I'm fine." After a pause, I continued, "I'm getting married. ”
Xin Yan's expression immediately condensed, she put down her chopsticks, grabbed the table tightly with both hands, lowered her head, and spoke for a long time, "With Zhang Teng?" ”
I was taken aback by her actions and words!
"Zhang Teng? Why should I marry Zhang Teng? ”
She took a big sip of the red wine on the table, then looked at me and said, "Don't you know that Zhang Teng has always liked you?" ”
I barely had a bite of rice squirting out ten meters away. I think it's more likely that Zhang Teng likes Brother Chao than he likes you.
"Did you receive the letter I sent you from Ling Ling?"
I was surprised, "Is the letter you sent from Ling Ling Slow for me?" ”
"It seems that you did not receive it. But the letter didn't contain much content. She sneered, and then continued, "When I first met Zhang Teng, I suspected that he liked you, the way he looked at you, what he did to you, his eyes couldn't tolerate anything but you. At that time, as now, no matter what I did, he wouldn't look at me, he wouldn't take it to heart. At that time, you told me that you had a boyfriend, but Zhang Teng didn't know it at that time. I sent you a letter in Ling Ling, and the general content of the letter was that if you don't like Zhang Teng, if you decide not to be with him, then I will come to Jiangcheng to find him. Half a year later, I came to Jiangcheng, and when I found Zhang Teng, his mother had just passed away, and he locked himself in the house after returning to Jiangcheng from Ting Nan, day after day. The only time he went out was to Luluo Lake, where he sat for a whole day and a night. Later, I learned that at that time, in addition to the pain of losing his mother, he also lost you. After you have been in love for a long time, he realized that he didn't even have a chance to open his mouth to confess, and you were with a man named Shao Yang. I haven't met Shao Yang, and I don't know how much of Zhang Teng's rival in love has the ability to make him so desperate. At that time, I tried very hard to take care of him, to protect him, and I tried very hard to get into his heart, but unfortunately I couldn't. The despair he walked out of by himself, I thought he had told you, but he still didn't, I now feel that Zhang Teng's feelings for you may have reached a certain point, and I have no chance at all. ”
I was stunned, unable to accept Xin Yan's statement for a moment.
She sighed lightly and said, "Xiao Lu, I like Zhang Teng very much, I really like it." If you're already going to marry someone else, don't disturb his life anymore. You've been around him for far too long in these twenty-eight years of life. You have to leave to empty his heart. ”
On the way back after dinner, I felt that every step was very heavy and my heart was numb. Do the math, in the past 24 years of my life, Zhang Teng and I have known each other for more than ten years. I remember that Shen Qi used to mind whether I liked Zhang Teng or not, and I also remember that she told me that she asked Zhang Teng if he liked me, and Zhang Teng vetoed it at that time. But first, the lot of words Xin Yan said now completely disrupted me.
I dialed Shao Yang's phone and turned it off.
I walked on the asphalt road but felt that Jiangcheng was so cold in September, as if I was walking barefoot in the snow, and my feet were cold for a while, from the bottom to the top, until the knees, and there were bursts of pain in my legs, like thousands of ants biting, like pins and needles.
That night, I didn't wash up, but went straight into the quilt and fell asleep tired. During the night, I was woken up by a leg ache and fell back asleep. Until the next morning, the pain in his leg was still not relieved. I gave myself a vacation, didn't go to training, and didn't knock on. I barely got out of bed, and when I walked into the bathroom, I fell hard, and I felt that my legs and feet were no longer as free as they used to be, and at that moment, I panicked, and I suddenly realized that I might be sick.
