Chapter 41, a life as light as water

The city seems so noisy at night, and there are always so many quiet people coming and going. They come and go alone, alone by the summer breeze. They seem out of place with the city, as if the beauty of the city does not belong to them at all...

After getting off work, he politely refused the fat boss's inquiry that a group of people would drink a few glasses of wine in the office, and he rushed to the agreed place. Fang Yuan arrived there early to wait for him.

At 6:20 a.m., this prestigious barbecue restaurant was deserted.

This is not unusual, after all, isn't dinner at home warmer and better than outside?

Sitting down across from Fang Yuan, Berlin frowned and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Fang Yuan was drinking a can of beer, and there were some grilled meat skewers on the table. Seeing Berlin's question, he grabbed a skewer of barbecue and chewed it, "Just finished busy, right?" Eat first and fill your stomach. ”

Berlin couldn't laugh or cry. The divorce happened to him when he just crossed over, why did Fang Yuan do it so quickly?

Birds of a feather flock together?

Berlin thought of the word.

Enough to mock...

However, compared to his own seriousness in the future, Fang Yuan's disapproval was obviously not the attitude of decisively wanting to divorce.

"Who do you have a crush on?" Berlin asked.

Fang Yuan glared at Berlin, "You think I'm you?" ”

Berlin was momentarily discouraged and laughed, "What's the matter?" I don't want to get a divorce either..."

Fang Yuan fell silent.

Looking at Berlin, he said bitterly, "Alas, I feel tired purely." I think life should be like drinking water. There is mineral water, there are drinks, there is beer, sweet and sour, even bitter and spicy, which makes people intoxicated and sweet, this is life, right, Berlin? ”

He asked Berlin, and when he saw the latter nodding sluggishly, he smiled and sighed, "But I feel like my every day is like drinking plain water." You know what that feels like? Tasteless. Boring to work, boring to get off work. Go home and quarrel over trivial daily life, look at her black face, wait for it to ease, and then continue to make trouble because of the child's problems... Day after day, I'm so tired, Berlin..."

Berlin stared at Fang Yuan.

His sudden feeling, this kind of life, is not similar to him?

Commuting, getting off work, sleeping... Day after day.

There are no ups and downs, it's simple, like boiled water every day.

The only difference is that he and Chen Kexin will not quarrel.

"I feel, I can understand you." Berlin spoke slowly.

Fang Yuan glanced at Berlin, lowered his head and took a sip of wine, "The last thing I want to hear is for you to say this, you know me." He glanced at Berlin, "You're not like me. Your fate is good, I met Chen Kexin, and I met Le Yao... Tsk, your ancestors have given you all the virtues they have accumulated..."

This made Berlin unhappy: "I don't think Lin Manman is bad, and he is good-looking." ”

Fang Yuan grinned.

He looked at Berlin with a smile, and when the two looked at each other, Fang Yuan's smile slowly dispersed.

In the silent barbecue restaurant, Fang Yuan's complicated eyes were so obvious in the light.

"Berlin, do you know what kind of marriage is the most painful?"

"What?"

"A marriage without feelings."

“...”

Fang Yuan sighed lightly and laughed at himself, "Since I was a child, so many big truths, my parents are tired of talking about it, and I am tired of it, but I actually remember it in my heart." It's not that you don't understand these truths, but you don't want to let yourself understand. I know what you said, Lin Manman is good, what's not good? Younger than me, good-looking, and considerate in many ways, everyone says that I married her and earned it, hehe, I know all this. At first, I was glad that I also tried to change myself and adapt... It's not that you can't drink plain water, it's just that after drinking it for seven years, who can't get bored..."

Berlin understood.

Fang Yuan didn't come to him to find a solution, he came to talk.

He just wanted to pour out the melancholy in his stomach.

A jar of wine went down, and another jar of wine came up, Fang Yuan drank it, and his expression didn't change much.

"What are you messing with Lin Manman today?" Berlin asked.

"It's nothing, it's just a bit of a routine. For example, let me sweep the floor and she cooks. I swept and swept, she said, what are you doing, Fang Yuan, the child is crying like this, why don't you come and take him? I went, and when I came back, I said a few words, what kind of ground did you sweep, it is better not to sweep, yes, I will be on fire. Alas, I also tried to wonder if it was true that I was doing a terrible job and made her unbearable... But we men, we always have to save face, what about snoring and drinking, I ran out of my anger tonight. Fang Yuan said with a smile.

Berlin also opened a bottle of wine and took two sips.

The slight astringency in his mouth made him frown, and he quickly swallowed it.

"If you don't eat it, go back, the old husband and wife, quarrel is the seasoning. Anyway, I think that a lifetime is like a day, something will always happen, and if you get through it, it will actually pass. Berlin said lightly.

"I can't see that you can still be reasonable?"

"What do you mean?"

"Haha, nothing. You don't think I ever mentioned divorce. Some angry words from above can be taken back to you. For Lin Manman, tsk, her character, that can't be explained. ”

After just a few words, Fang Yuan seemed to be nobody's one again.

But Berlin looked at Fang Yuan's unchanged eyes, he knew that Fang Yuan's words were like this, but his thoughts in his heart were not like this. The words come out, but it doesn't mean that the emotions are gone.

"Like you just said, no feelings. You're looking for one, is that sentimental? How old are you, is it still like falling in love in high school? Berlin still wanted to enlighten him.

Fang Yuan's movements paused.

Berlin's words seemed to pull a string in his heart unintentionally...

He calmed down, looked up at the street outside the door, and said, "Yes, the feelings of youth are the most sincere and pure, people can't go back, and they can't find that feeling anymore." Many times, I do not know that I regret it when I grow up, and if I am not so cowardly and say it badly, I may still confess successfully. I think that if I can be with the person I like, even if it is plain plain water, it will be sweet... No matter how hard the days are, they are also happy. ”

Speaking of this, Fang Yuan looked at Berlin, "Did you say yes, Berlin?"

Berlin froze.

What's wrong with you?

How could he answer?

In the future, he doesn't know whether he loves Chen Kexin or not.

He didn't think as much as Fang Yuan, he felt that Fang Yuan was just idle. If you have a family with a suitable income, you will have a lot of leisure thoughts. Like he is in a hurry to make money, his mind is full of work, and love is no longer in the scope of his consideration.

But people still have a heart for gossip.

Fang Yuan's deep memories made Berlin curious, and asked with a smile, "Who did you like in high school?" ”

When he was in high school, Fang Yuan didn't see him fall in love with that female voice except for running around and playing with him every day. In my impression, he talked to other girls very little.

Fang Yuan looked at Berlin and asked, "Do you want to know?" ”

“....”

Fang Yuan didn't refuse?

Berlin was surprised, and said solemnly, "I want to know." ”

Fang Yuan said lightly, "I won't tell you." This secret will keep me in my heart for the rest of my life, there is no possibility for me and her to be together anyway. ”

“....”

The two continued to eat.

Fang Yuan felt that it was not enjoyable, so he called for another basin.

The conversation just now reminded the two of them of their high school days and talked about their past lives.

"It's past 7 o'clock, and I can't keep you, Berlin." Fang Yuan suddenly looked at the time, "Didn't you just say that you were going to work the night shift at 8 o'clock?" ”

"Hmm."

Berlin drank slab wine, and it didn't get in the way: "I'll go to work later." ”

"Pay attention to your body. I also burned myself out by the night shift. ”

The two were about to say goodbye and separate.

But at the time of parting, Berlin just got up and sat down. He said, "Do you feel happy with someone who likes you, or happy with someone you like?" ”

"What do you mean?" Fang Yuan was puzzled.

"I think it's the former." Berlin smiled, not caring if Fang Yuan understood the meaning of his words.

Fang Yuan fell silent.

Seeing that Berlin's intention was so obvious, for a long time, he came to his senses and smiled helplessly, "Alas... You. ”

After settling the bill, the two left together.

At the corner of the street, the two were going in different directions.

"Berlin."

"Huh?"

"Don't you want to know who I like?" Fang Yuan said suddenly.

"Hmm."

"I'll tell you."

"Who?"

"Le Yao."

“....”

Berlin was dumbfounded.

"Hahahaha, teasing you, goodbye." Fang Yuan laughed amused by Berlin's expression.
