60. Old things

A rain brings the breath of winter,
The petals of the phoenix wood began to fall,
Zhong Xian relied on his memory to find the bar opened by Zhao Qi. There is a tall mango tree not far in front of the Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info bar. Three years ago, when Zhong Xian first pursued Zhao Qi, he was almost hit by a ripe and fallen mango there.
It's a music bar that's not noisy. The first time Zhong Xian came here was to see the band perform. Then he hooked up with the young and beautiful female boss Zhao Qi. They were together for only three months before they broke up.
It's not that he doesn't like Zhao Qi, it's just that he doesn't have the ability to love anyone. He had the ability to catch them one by one, but he couldn't continue. Falsehood never lasts, and there is no way for him not to be false. Stripped of the falsehood, he is just a ball of air, without any real and powerful thing to support it.
Zhao Qi is perfect, rich and low-key, not as flamboyant and vain as most beautiful girls. Deng Yi's vision is right.
Zhong Xian was ready to be counted down by Zhao Qi, and waited in the bar until midnight but did not see Zhao Qi appear. As he was about to leave, he smoked a cigarette in front of the bar. The red Cayenne drove and stopped on the side of the road, Zhao Qi got out of the car and walked quickly to a black Mercedes Benz behind her, her long red curly hair swaying behind her was very bright, she lowered her body and said something to the person in the window, laughed a lot, and then kissed the other party goodbye. The Mercedes starts up and drives into the lane.
Zhong Xian threw away the cigarette butt and rushed out of the oblique stab, the black Mercedes was blocked and had to brake to stop, the window was lowered, and Zhong Xian saw clearly that the man in the car was not Deng Yi.
"I'm sorry, I recognized the wrong person." Zhong Xin apologized repeatedly. Watch the Mercedes drive away.
Zhao Qi's voice came from behind him. Unceremoniously. "Stop the car in the middle of the night, are you sick?"
Zhong Xian turned around and looked at Zhao Qi suspiciously. "Who is he?"
Zhao Qi put his hands in the pockets of his long pink coat. "What are you doing here?"
"Come to you. I feel the need to say sorry to you. The last time I saw you at Deng Yi's house, I have always been worried about it, even if you have forgotten that I was sorry for you in the first place. ”
"Don't come to this set, just say something." She's straight to the point.
"Just to apologize. Would you like to have a late-night snack? I waited all night in your shop. ”
Zhao Qi thought for a moment. "Come in." She led the bell into one of the bar's VIP booths. I personally opened a bottle of wine, poured a glass and handed it to Zhong Xian. Zhong Xian still remembers that three years ago he used to sit in this position and watch the band in the bar.
"You're prettier than ever. I was stupid to give up on you in the first place. Deng Yi said that you are a rare good girl. "Zhong Xian was a little anxious. At the beginning, Deng Yi was mentioned. He wished he had asked sooner.
"What did Deng Yi say?" Zhao Qi added ice cubes to the cup.
"I confessed to him about us. Hope you don't mind. He trusts you a lot, and you did catch a baby this time. But who was that Mercedes-Benz man just now?"
Zhao Qi didn't say a word, holding her wine glass, showing a hint of a smile, her aura was powerful, like a queen dominating the dark forest in the dim light of the bar.
"Say it."
"Say what?"
"Didn't you come to apologize?"
"Oh. Be. I was too young to cherish you before. I regret it. Hope you know that. ”
"And then?"
"Hopefully we can be good friends."
"And then?"
"It's gone. That's it. Can't have you, but at least, can be friends around you. ”
"What does that mean?"
"I just don't want to be completely irrelevant to you. Nothing else. You have a better choice now, Deng Yi is much better than me. Don't get me wrong about what's between me and him. Even if I had any thoughts, it didn't work. He only has you in his heart. ”
Zhao Qi drank the wine in the cup, then pointed to Zhong Xian's nose and said. "You're a jerk. All the people I've dated are on the same level as me, but you're a clown. That's enough. Don't lie to me a second time. ”
"Don't dare to hope." Zhong Xian said honestly. He could hear that Zhao Qi was already drunk, and it was obvious that she had drunk with the Mercedes-Benz man just now. "I heard you're getting married next year. I'm really happy for you. Deng Yi is such a perfect person. ”
Zhao Qi laughed twice and poured wine into the cup.
"I won't tell Deng Yi about that man just now, but I remind you, don't make the mistake I made at the beginning. If you miss it, you will only regret it. ”
"I thank you for your advice." Zhao Qi's tone was full of sarcasm.
"I heard that Deng Yi went to the United States. Where are your weddings going to take place next year?"
"What's your business?"
"Do you want a Western-style wedding or a Chinese-style wedding? I heard that the local people in Guangdong still maintain the custom of Chinese weddings, wearing a lot of gold and silver jewelry on the bride. It's hard to imagine that you are, a Western-style wedding is more suitable for you. ”
The band at midnight began to play a quiet guitar tune.
"Zhong Xian, don't treat me as a fool. You're here for Deng Yi. Zhao Qi turned his gaze to the direction of the band and sighed.
"I heard that he went to the United States and will spend a few years studying there, and I came for you, I'm afraid you will be sad."
"Are you afraid that I will be lonely and lonely? Huh?"
"How can you be lonely. You, like Deng Yi, are the darlings of God. ”
"Why should I be lonely for a man?" Zhao Qi's words were thorny. "Never."
Zhong Xian didn't make much progress with Zhao Qi. He felt that it should be over, but he wanted to know Deng Yi's situation so much that he could only persevere. "You still can't forgive me."
"I don't care about you, it's just that the way you dumped me in the first place was disgusting." Zhao Qi showed that false smile again. "We've been together platonically for three months, and we've never even kissed once, who will believe it? You ended up letting me see you and other women...... I know that's not true. You're just disgusted with me. At the time I didn't understand why I was disgusted. But now I understand. ”
"You misunderstood......"
"If you really want to be friends with me. There is only one way, and that is to be sincere! Don't tell a lie. Otherwise, get out of front of my eyes. ”
Zhong Xian was speechless.
Zhao Qi poured wine into Zhong Xian's cup: "Do you admit that you lie to women repeatedly?"
"This ......"
"Remember my warning, tell the truth or get out."
Zhong Xian's face was hot for a while, but he felt that Zhao Qi was right. "I'm probably just trying to avoid trouble, and I really rarely tell the truth to women. Dealing with women and taking the time to study them, probably because I think that sooner or later I will have to marry one and go home. I had to learn how to get along with them first. ”
"Good. Not bad. It's hard to hear, but it's true. I'm not a stupid woman who just wants to listen to fairy tales, so if you tell me the truth, even if it's ugly true, I won't be angry. It's only when you're going to lie to me with sweet words that you don't even have a chance to be friends. Like I said, I'm not angry when you tell the truth, I should have seen that you don't like women. Those three months, the three months that you and I have been dealing with, and I will not be angry if you admit that you are using me as an exercise object. Whoever you marry will harm whomever you want. I hope you do it in moderation. ”
"It's not that I don't like women. I just can't find the commonality......"
This is not true. You've never kissed me, and I'm not so ugly that you can't get out of your mouth, right...... Have you ever kissed another woman?"
"I don't kiss anyone. Never. ”
Zhao Qi's expression looked even more wrong than when Deng Yi first knew about it, she looked at Zhong Xian and was stunned for a moment, but her eyes gradually softened.
"How did you and Deng Yi meet?" She asked.
"Didn't he tell you?"
"He said he's known each other for a long time."
"Half a year."
"Half a year, everything that should happen will happen."
"Nothing happened to us."
"Have you forgotten my warning? If you don't tell the truth, fuck off. Zhao Qi said with a smile. You start from the beginning. How did I first meet. ”
"Do you want to start with the first acquaintance? It was KFC next to SZ Book City, he pretended to be a police officer to investigate a missing personage, he called me to ask me out, and we talked for ten minutes before saying goodbye. I didn't think we would see each other again, but then he went to me again on the grounds that he was investigating the case......"
"Go on."
"Then they started to come and go. There are too many details, and they are prosaic, so I don't need to talk about them. ”
"What kind of person do you think he is? Describe it. ”
"How to describe it, it's not that you don't know it...... Be sure to listen to me...... Well, in my opinion he is very special, I was impressed at first sight, his eyes are very clear, and when you look at him, you will have a dazzling feeling. Tall and often plays tennis, but there seems to be something unspeakable...... He always used a faint, very good perfume, which could be smelled clearly by leaning against him, probably Gucci sin. His hair is soft and neat, and his skin is white but healthy. Zhong Xian knew that he was talking too much, but there was too much flood in his heart, and it was difficult to control a gap when he encountered it.
"Everybody says he's a beautiful man." Zhao Qi added quietly on the side.
"I don't want to use that word to describe him, he's not just handsome and extraordinary to me, he's very peculiar to me...... I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that. I don't know why I said it. It may be that I have no one to sue at all. ”
"Do you think he feels the same way about you?"
"What should I say, will it ruin your mood to get married?"
"To tell you the truth, you won't have any impact on my relationship with him. Please believe this. ”
"Uh, there is."
"How do you know?"
"This ...... There are times when he can't help it, when the blood is boiling, I feel it, even at that time I didn't take the initiative, I was waiting, waiting for him to get out of control. But he never did. You should be happy. ”
"You hate Kiss, so how can you take the initiative." Zhao Qi's eyes smiled into a slit.
"You don't have to be that way to be proactive, there are many ways to ......"
"Stop. Don't go into the details. So what never happened to you is true. ”
"Yes. The behavior is no. But in my heart...... I don't think he'd ever met someone like me, just as I thought he was unique, and I was probably unique in his eyes. But...... He looked like he had no experience, but he was very stubborn. ”
"His eyes, you just described them as dazzling. What the hell is the difference. ”
"For me, yes. Not that kind of sharp gaze, nor confusing to be emotional, he never looks at people directly, but still has a very penetrating power, I must admit, from the first sight of him, he entered my soul, although never looking at me with lustful eyes, but my whole body will still boil at his gaze...... Ahem, it makes me feel embarrassed that you laugh like that. I heard that you and he met very early, childhood sweethearts, and went to the same kindergarten. ”
"We met very early. But he wasn't the one who went to kindergarten with me. You probably don't remember my age. I'm three years older than him. Under Zhong Xian's slightly surprised gaze, Zhao Qi smiled elegantly, "The one who went to kindergarten with me was the one who was blocked by you just now, he is Deng Yi's brother." ”
"Brother...... Cousin?"
"Yes. Cousin. The fourth brother. Deng Yi didn't go to kindergarten, and he didn't even go to school well. He had autism as a child. You probably don't know that. Later, he was sent to the north for treatment, where he remained for almost ten years. Something happened there and he was sent out of the country directly by his father. He is not just going abroad to study now, he has already returned from abroad, and he has been back for about half a year, and he has been working in the group according to his father's wishes. This time he went out to collect his degree certificate. I'll be back next week. ”
"Next week, next week?"
"Yes. That's what you're here for. ”
"So...... Does he have a girlfriend?"
"I'm his nominal girlfriend. It's a long story. In order to protect him from being sent to a psychiatric hospital by his father, the fourth brother and I discussed this solution. I was in a relationship with him. I did like him when I was younger. He's so handsome. But if a person has no waves for you for a long time, the feelings in my heart will naturally flow to a place with heat, so I have been deceived by you, and of course I have been captured by other suitors. I'm almost 30 years old, and it's a headache for both families to start thinking about getting married. ”
"What's a titular girlfriend?"
Deng Yi was treated for autism in the north and studied at a local middle school. Once his father went to see him and found a picture of him and a friend on his phone...... Photos of no clothes. At that time, he was only 16 years old. His father was furious and planned to put him in a psychiatric hospital. ”
“…… Even if you are in early love, there is no need to send it to a psychiatric hospital. ”
"That friend...... It's a boy, I heard that it's a local hooligan, Deng Yi said before that he wanted to take music lessons and asked his family for a sum of money, but he actually wanted to play with the little hooligan in a band. What happened to you! It's okay, your wine spilled, hey! ”
"Is he somewhere in the north, BH City?"
"How do you know? He said to you"
"What name did he use at the time?"
"He didn't have that name at the time, and you know that his father later changed his name in the hope that he would be a new man. Love is deeply responsible. ”
"Do you have his contact information now, even though he is abroad, you must be able to contact him. Tell me! Don't ask me for a reason, I can exchange anything for it...... If you want me to kiss you now, I can do it. Tell me. ”
