Chapter 18: Farewell
Xu Jiwen nodded, and his right hand trembled and stretched out to the button by the door.
Is her wife okay? Are you asleep now? Will she come and open the door? Do you go crazy when you see yourself dead? I couldn't help but feel melancholy again, my nose was sore, and my index finger stopped at the button.
"Whew~"
After a few seconds of adjustment, Xu Jiwen took a deep breath, seemed to have made up his mind, and rang the doorbell with his index finger.
"Huh?"
didn't hear the sound of the doorbell, and there was no touch from the fingertips, as if nothing had been pressed, Xu Jiwen looked at his fingers suspiciously, and then couldn't help but smile bitterly.
In his sight, Xu Jiwen's fingers have been completely submerged in the button switch, this is not the office of Wang Sheng's office or the boy's mansion, this is a normal human community, his current identity is a soul that others can't see or touch, it's strange to be able to touch the button, right?
Then it's much simpler, through the wall.
After making up his mind, he didn't think much about it and went straight through the door.
Home, this is his own home, when the head just came in, looking around a little, Xu Jiwen no longer has any reason to doubt, because he knows too well here, even the air is filled with a familiar smell, the lights at home are on, enter the door, habitually ready to change into loafers, only to see two pairs of cute couple slippers neatly placed there on the shoe cabinet at the door, and I feel sorry, my wife is not at home?
This result is a bit disappointing, but it is also unavoidable. Xu Jiwen did not stay at the door, but continued to walk inside, there was a big wedding photo of the two people smiling sweetly in the living room, I still remember that when I took this photo, the cameraman asked the two to be intimate, and the wife kissed it directly without saying a word, I didn't pay attention at all, and the teeth collided directly, while enduring the pain, but still laughing. Xu Jiwen touched his lips, and it seemed that he could still recall the taste of that kiss at that time. It is sweetness, joy, and the sweetness of love.
"Eh, mosquito, what do you think of the girl next door?"
"Huh? Which one? ”
"That's the one, at the basketball game this afternoon, the girl who persuaded her, to be honest, if it weren't for her, just the small bodies in the class next door, I TM could beat 5 of them alone."
"It's okay! Why do you ask me? ”
"Do you understand love at first sight? That feeling, I was going to chase her, how did you feel? ”
It was from this night talk with her classmates in the high school dormitory that she began to gradually enter her mind, but as her best friend's girlfriend, she was just a big light bulb at best.
It was then that I began to fall in love with writing novels, writing about other people's love, writing about other people's sweetness, and pretending to be the hero in it. But he was unwilling, because, he knew, from the first time he chased her to her and brought her to introduce her to him, he fell in love with her and fell in love at first sight!
Yes, at the most appropriate but most undesirable time, he and Fa Xiao fell in love with the same girl.
Every time, he will force a laugh when he writes a novel about where they went today, what they played, and every time the circle of friends sees a photo of a small biography to show affection, he will endure the pain points and praise it, every time, they are unhappy, he will try his best to comfort them.
One is his most valued friend, and the other is his favorite person.
Caught in the middle, what can be done?
Until the third year of high school, one day before the Spring Festival during the winter vacation, Fa Xiao suddenly called Xu Jiwen to make an appointment.
"Mosquito, we broke up."
Looking at the hair that was silent while smoking, so haggard, so decadent.
However, this time, Xu Jiwen didn't come forward to comfort him at all, but angrily punched Fa Xiao in the face, yes, he was angry, he knew that he was a small man, he said it sounded good, it was a very playful, very hanging young man, if it didn't sound good, he was a little gangster who didn't learn well, who broke up, who was the reason, do you need to guess more?
Who doesn't have a young frivolity, who doesn't have a crazy youth? Fight, huh!
Xu Jiwen has now forgotten where he got the courage to do it against Fa Xiao at that time, but he only remembered that he didn't seem to be left behind, and the two were a little evenly matched, until his nose was blue and his face was swollen, until his head broke and bleed, until his strength was exhausted, until this time he finally mustered up the courage to pursue the girl.
Of course, this is just the beginning, a wonderful beginning.
"Ding-dong."
Xu Jiwen, who was deeply immersed in memories, was suddenly woken up by a crisp doorbell, and wondered, at this time, who would come to the house? When I was about to walk to open the door, there was a "click" behind me, and the sound of the room opening the door.
Xu Jiwen froze suddenly, and turned around in surprise and surprise. I saw a young woman wearing pajamas, barefoot, and a disheveled shawl opening the door and coming out, and her eyes were red with the help of the light.
Isn't this who is his wife? Seeing her come over, he quickly opened his hands.
"Wife, I'll ...... back"
I thought that it would be followed by a big hug, but in the end, I still thought too much, and saw that the young woman walked up to Xu Jiwen and did not stop, but continued to move forward, passed through his body, and opened the main door.
"Hello, the takeaway you ordered, a total of 40 yuan."
Taking the bag containing the disposable cardboard box, the young woman took out a prepared 50 yuan bill and handed it over.
"No need to look for it."
After saying something hoarse to the delivery staff, and then without waiting for the person to say anything, he directly "snapped" and closed the door tightly.
"Eating now? It's already so late. ”
Xu Jiwen muttered to himself, naturally no one would hear it, so he had to helplessly follow his wife to the restaurant with the bag, this time, it made him feel a little guilty, because the garbage basket here has been full of this kind of carton garbage bag, could it be that these days when he is not there, his wife not only eats irregularly, but even eats only by takeout? No, it seems to be worse than imagined, because, in front of Xu Jiwen's eyes, the young woman actually took out a glass and poured a full glass of liquor.
"Why? Why do this to me. ”
This liquor seemed to be the key to open the valve, and after pouring a large mouthful, the young woman immediately cried.
"Wife."
Looking at his wife, whose eyes were already red and swollen and her voice was hoarse, Xu Jiwen wanted to come forward to comfort and comfort her, but now, she couldn't even do a simple action like helping her wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"Mosquito, where are you? Where the hell are you? Come out, you come out for me. Woo~"
The young woman in front of her was already crying bitterly, Xu Jiwen looked at the guilt to the extreme, to be honest, the breakup he considered before his death, after experiencing death, he had no idea at all, after all, she was the most loved person in his life, he really didn't want her to be hurt a little bit, but the matter had come to this, and he had no choice at all. Now my biggest wish is to be able to take one last look at my wife, and now it's over.
"Time will calm everything."
I don't know how long it took, looking at his wife who climbed into the room and lay on the bed because she didn't know whether she was tired of crying or drinking, Xu Jiwen sat on the edge of the bed and comforted her softly while hanging her hand above her head.
"You know what? In this life, the luckiest thing for me is to meet you, like you, marry you, I promised to hold your hand after we finished, but, alas, I'm sorry, I broke my promise. You have to treat yourself well, drink less alcohol in the future, go out for a walk more, the world is so big, you will always open your heart. Then, meet a man who is good to you, hold hands, fall in love, and get married. Forget about me and start your happiness again! ”
Xu Jiwen's eyes were moist, he knew that she would never hear what he said anymore, but what did it matter?
stood up and reluctantly glanced at his wife, who was already asleep.
"Farewell!"
Raising his head, Xu Jiwen resolutely walked towards the door.
"Mosquitoes."
But just as Xu Jiwen walked out of the door of the room, he clearly heard a hoarse call.
Suddenly, he stopped, and two lines of hot tears poured down.
"See?"
Seeing Xu Jiwen coming out of the door, Wu Cun greeted him and asked enthusiastically.
"Hmm!"
"And then? Got a wish? Finished? ”
"Hmm!"
After these two brief answers, Wu Cun didn't ask anything anymore, because he could see that Xu Jiwen must be very uncomfortable at this time. Out of pity for him, he turned his head and said his advice to the boss again.
"Boss, it's better not to send him to the underworld yet, you see that he is so pitiful after all, doesn't he still have time? Let him accompany his wife again, right? ”
When Wang Sheng heard the suggestion, he sneered somehow, and waved his hand to signal that Wu Cun didn't need to say more.
"Thank you, that's it, I'm already satisfied, thank you, thank you!"
Of course, Xu Jiwen didn't echo Wu Cun's thoughts, because even if he came out for a few more days, it would be meaningless to him.
"Cut, it's just a few days, and it won't be bad, I thought your heart would be warm, in the end, it's still cold-blooded."
Seeing Wang Sheng moving on the side, Wu Cun muttered quietly.
Soul crossing spell, opening the door of life and death, and sending Xu Jiwen to the underworld, this time, the cool scene reappeared, but Wu Cun was not as excited as before, because at this time, he felt more sorry for Xu Jiwen in his heart, and as for the fact that he had suspected that he was a scumbag before, he had already forgotten about it.
Is this the end of the matter? No, not really.
Just when the scene switched back, Wu Cun was surprised to find that the house he was in suddenly shook slightly, followed by the stairs, handrails, including the floor tiles under his feet, all of which changed their appearance instantly, and then, only listened to the "click." With a bang, Xu Jiwen's door was opened from the inside.
