Chapter 62: The Gift
In fact, when I saw Chen Dan so sad and aggrieved, I also knew in my heart that there must be many hidden secrets in the middle. It's not that I don't want to listen to her explanations, but I don't like to insult people in the first place without telling the facts, without my judgment. As a friend of Gu Jianqiang, of course I have to be angry. But when I heard Chen Dan's last sentence, I also felt faintly uneasy. Could it be that Gu Jianqiang really did something to be sorry for Chen Dan, so that Chen Dan could say this about him?
I'm not a person who doesn't distinguish between right and wrong, if it's really Gu Jianqiang who has done something bad, even if he is my friend, I won't favor him. But I want to listen to what Chen Dan said first, and I won't listen to her side of the story, but I will draw conclusions through my judgment and understanding.
So I said, "Chen Dan, don't cry first, since you have retracted what you just said, then I am willing to listen to your explanation." If Gu Jianqiang really has something to be sorry for you, I won't be partial to him. If I just did something that made you feel wronged, even if you didn't accept it, I would apologize, okay? ”
Chen Dan's tears were still falling down, and he was so aggrieved that he couldn't cry. I sighed, so I went back to the coffee table, pulled out a few tissues, handed them to her, and said, "Okay, how can you explain that you cry like this?" I was a little impulsive just now, but it's not like this! Come, I'm not leaving, let's sit down and drink coffee, and listen to you while drinking, okay? ”
Chen Dan took the tissue, wiped his eyes a few times, nodded and sat down with me. I watched her curl up on the couch, hugging her knees, looking at me with a wistful look. seems to be full of grievances, but I don't know where to start. He started and said, "Chen Dan, you said that Gu Jianqiang is a villain. Then tell me where his villain is! ”
Chen Dan silently put back his glasses, helped him again, and said, "You may not believe what I said, but that's the case." I know that a few of you buddies spent a lot of effort to match us for Liu Hui back then, and you may be the only one who really wants to help him. Because apart from you, several others have told me that they like me. Zhang Yin and Sun Xiaobo also gave up, they secretly showed me love, and after I refused, they never pestered me again. But Gu Jianqiang is different, do you know that he will do one thing in front of him and one thing behind his back? He tried his best to ask me out, and the real purpose was not for Liu Hui, but for himself. Didn't you notice that when we played together, it was Gu Jianqiang who was courteous to me? ”
I was stunned for a moment, I really don't know these things, only Liu Hui expressed his liking for Chen Dan in front of people, Zhang Yin and Sun Xiaobo didn't reveal a little bit of their liking for Chen Dan. Gu Jianqiang was even more enthusiastic, patting his chest and saying that he would do his best to help Liu Hui catch up with Chen Dan, and for this reason, he spared no effort to organize outings and parties. Don't...... In these beautiful friendships, are there ghosts behind them?
I couldn't believe it, and said, "If Gu Jianqiang wants to chase you, even if it's good to date you alone, why do you have to drag us so trouble?" What's in it for him that we're coming? That doesn't make sense! ”
Chen Dan smiled contemptuously and said, "Do you think he doesn't have it?" He tried his best to ask me out several times, but I ignored him, so he had to think of a way to ask me out. Let's be honest, if it weren't for you...... You're all here, and I wouldn't have come. It's just that at that time, Wan Fang begged for everything, and I thought that so many people should be fine, so I agreed. ”
I nodded and said, "Gu Jianqiang did this because he liked you." It's not very authentic, but it doesn't seem to be a villain, right? ”
Chen Dan sneered and said, "Of course it's nothing just like this, but do you know? In order to ask me out, Gu Jianqiang first approached Wan Fang, and after playing tricks to make Wan Fang fall in love with him, he deceived Wan Fang and asked her to do things for him under the pretext that it was for Liu Hui. Poor Wanfang was stupidly used as a gunman by him, and he was happy to do it. I secretly reminded her several times, but she was carried away by love, where could she listen? I'm afraid that my friend and I will turn against each other, and I won't be able to say it clearly. had to warn Gu Jianqiang and not allow him to play with Wan Fang's feelings. Otherwise, I will expose all these things he has done, and he will lose all his friends from now on. That's why Gu Jianqiang didn't attack Wan Fang. It's a pity that Gu Jianqiang couldn't get me, and he put all his resentment on the heads of innocent people, Xu Aiqing and Li Xiaomin were ruthlessly abandoned after he deceived and played. By the time I knew it was too late, I watched my friends cry in pain one by one, but there was nothing I could do. Also, do you know how Gu Jianqiang said bad things about you good friends in front of me? He knew that Zhang Yin and Sun Xiaobo also liked me, and not only did they say that they were useless in front of me, but also engaged in discord, played conspiracy, and used Wan Fang's mouth to make up lies that I only treated them as dogs, which broke their hearts, so they ignored me from now on, and hated me so much. He also said that Liu Hui was a toad, and he still wanted to eat swan meat, and he didn't pee to take care of himself. Even you, who didn't threaten him at all, said that you were just a fool and that being friends with you was a price for him. Tang Qian, may I ask if such a person is qualified to be called a villain? Judge it! ”
I was blown away! I really can't believe that Gu Jianqiang would do such a thing. If it's true, then he's just too despicable, and he's really a villain!
I remembered when Gu Jianqiang and I were friends, remembered the first time he took out a cigarette and said to me, "Dude, how can a man not smoke?" Don't be in front of me, mother-in-law, mother-in-law, like a man, come, smoke one, we will be brothers from now on! I remembered that I was drunk with him, and shook shoulder-to-shoulder on the edge of the West Lake, singing in unison: "Angry hair rushes to the crown and leans on the railing, and the rain rests." Looking up, he raised his head to the sky and roared, and he ...... fiercely, "I still remember one time when I fell off the horizontal bar and broke my head. It was Gu Jianqiang who didn't say a word, picked me up and ran to the infirmary. Such a friend, such a brother, how can you tell me to believe that he is a vile villain?
One of my faces was swollen red, my fists were clenched, and I hissed, "Gu Jianqiang is definitely not this kind of person!" Then I felt like I was too excited, and I took a few deep breaths to calm down a bit. For a while, I only felt that my liver was hot, and my thirst was unbearable, so I grabbed the coffee cup on the coffee table, and drank it in a few sips, regardless of whether it was bitter or not.
After putting down the cup, I said, "Chen Dan, I can't believe what you said. But I'll figure it out, if it's true, I'm willing to apologize to you solemnly, and forever hate and despise Gu Jianqiang. But if that's not the case, or if you've made it up, I'll hate you too. I'm messed up, I'm sorry, I'll go back and calm down first, goodbye! ”
To be honest, I'm disheartened to the extreme. If what Chen Dan said is the truth, then this fact is too terrible! I can't believe that such a good friend on the surface can do such a sinister thing behind the scenes. Is there such a huge difference between people on the surface and on the inside? Chen Dan has no reason or motive to deliberately slander Gu Jianqiang, and what she said is very likely to be true. But...... From the bottom of my heart, I don't want to believe it, I don't want to accept it.
I slowly stood up, waved my hand, and tried to say something, but my mouth was open, and I couldn't say a word. Chen Dan also stood up and sighed lightly: "I know how you will feel when you hear it, but this is a fact, and I can't help it." Do you matter? I think you're having a hard time, why don't you take a break before you go? ”
I shook my head with a wry smile, didn't speak, and walked to the door to open it. Chen Dan walked over, opened the door for me first, and said, "Tang Qian, I'm sorry!" Originally, old classmates should have talked about some light topics when they met today, but I didn't expect it to become like this. Don't be too upset, so many years have passed, and those rights and wrongs don't matter anymore, you don't have to take them to heart. ”
I sighed and said, "It's not a question of how many years have passed, it's that I think I've failed too much." If what you said is true, then the fond memories I had back then, and the friends I made, have become a joke. I couldn't accept it, and I couldn't believe it was like that. I have to figure out, I have to figure out if I lived to be a dog in all four years of college. Sorry, I'll go first! ”
With that, I took heavy steps and walked out the door. After walking a few steps, Chen Dan suddenly called me behind me: "Tang Qian, wait a minute!" ”
I looked back and said, "What else?" ”
I saw Chen Dan standing at the door and bit his lip for a while, and suddenly said, "You wait a minute, I'll send you something." With that, she turned around and ran quickly into the study.
I was confused for a while, Chen Dan wanted to give me something? What is it?
After a while, Chen Dan came out with a small exquisite cardboard box, and there was a bewildering brilliance in her eyes, and it was firm and solemn. She held the cardboard box in both hands, looked at me eagerly and said, "Tang Qian, in four years of college, you didn't live to be a dog." Others may not know it, but I know best. You are a man of high character, and I have seen many of the most glorious deeds of your life in four years, and I have recorded them all. ”
She gently presented the carton and said, "Here are four books, which are my records of study and life in college. It has everything you want to know about and what you did in college. Maybe we will never see each other again, but today I give it to you as a gift, and I hope that when you see it in the future, you will remember me. ”
I looked at her in amazement, I never expected that what she gave me would be this! Under my gaze, Chen Dan quickly blushed, lowered his head, and said softly: "Of course, I also recorded those things about Gu Jianqiang, and I hope it will help you understand the truth after reading it." I have hidden everything recorded in it, and the notebook is no longer important to me, so you can take it! ”
I hurriedly shook my head and said, "How can this be, how dare I accept such a personal thing?" Isn't that too immoral? And it's your woman's **, I'm ...... I...... I don't want it! ”
Chen Dan blushed and said angrily: "You are good at everything, but you are too pedantic." It's not a peek, but a look at it openly, what's morally immoral? And there's something you want to know about it, and ...... Something I want you to know. If you don't look, how will you know? Take it! Hello back! With that, she put the cardboard box in my hand, and returned to the house as if fleeing, slamming the door shut.
I was left alone and standing outside with a cardboard box in my hand......
Late at night, I finally returned to my hotel room and lay tired in bed. What happened tonight left me in a terrible mood and depressed.
I looked at the cardboard box on the bedside table and tried to open it several times, but I couldn't bear it when I thought about it. Either way, that's snooping on a woman, and my conscience doesn't allow me to do that. Find a time to send it back!
Moreover, I already have a faint feeling that Chen Dan gave me a note, and it will never be as simple as just wanting me to know the truth. I subconsciously didn't want to look at it, for fear that there would be something in it that would be cut and messed up.
I closed my eyes and quickly fell asleep. I had a dream in which Xu Shu and I had a grand wedding, and many of my relatives and friends came. Among them are Liu Hui, Zhang Yin, Sun Xiaobo, and Gu Jianqiang. Just when Xu Shu and I were about to wear each other's rings, I suddenly heard a scream: "Don't!" No! ”
All the guests looked back, but saw the little witch standing at the back, with tears streaming down her face, and her eyes were full of endless despair!
My hand shook and the ring fell to the ground. I cried out, "Xiao Xin! ”
Xu Xin turned around and ran out, I was about to chase, but Xu Shu dragged me and shouted: "Tang Qian, if you chase it, then the love between our husband and wife will end here!" ”
I was so anxious that I was sweating profusely, of course I was reluctant to Xu Shu, but Xiao Xin ran away in grief like this, I was really worried that something would happen to her!
Seeing that I hesitated, Xu Shu couldn't help but show a look of disappointment on his face. At this time, Hua Jingjing walked over, took Xu Shu's hand and said, "Xiao Shu, let's go!" This kind of half-hearted man, let's not do it! ”
Xu Shu nodded, let go of me, and left side by side with Hua Jingjing. Then there was a coax, and all the guests left with contempt on their faces.
I shouted anxiously, "Don't! Come back! Why are you all leaving? Aren't you all my relatives and friends? ”
I was in a hurry when Gu Jianqiang's face suddenly appeared in front of me. He laughed and said, "Tang Qian! Do you think you still have friends? Do you think there will be someone when you are friends? What a fool you're alike! Hahahahahahaha......ha
I screamed and woke up from my dream! When I sat up, I realized that I was sweating and my clothes were completely wet! I gasped for breath and turned on the bedside lamp in horror, looking at this strange room, only to realize that I was just dreaming.
But Gu Jianqiang's laughter is still in my mind, am I really such a failure? Is there really no one who would treat me as a friend? Will my lovers really leave me?
I felt a deep fear that everything in my dreams would come true. At this time, Chen Dan's words just now sounded in my head: "Tang Qian, in the four years of college, you didn't live to be a dog." Others may not know it, but I know best. You are a man of high character, and I have seen many of the most glorious deeds of your life in four years, and I have recorded them all. ”
With trembling hands, I took the cardboard box from the bedside table and opened it gently. Inside are four thick, blue-covered notebooks.
What's recorded in this? What glorious deeds have I been recorded? And most importantly, my friends? What do they think of me? Is it true that no one will consider me a friend?
With conflicted and mixed feelings, I turned the first page of the first book.
At this moment, it is already hazy outside the window!
