Section (01): The most familiar stranger
On a summer afternoon, Mu Yuqing sat bored by the window, her slender white fingers tapping on the tabletop, and the melodious music of the café made her eyes heavy and sleepy.
Half an hour has passed since the appointed time, and the customer has not yet arrived.
She works for a large foreign trade company and is now making appointments with clients.
She held her forehead thoughtfully, lazily raised her arm, and stirred the coffee in the porcelain cup for a while, she suspected that the Frenchman had deliberately released her pigeon because of the last deposit.
Whether she is released or not, she has to wait, and if she can't complete this month's order, her perverted manager has to fire her.
Her eyes inadvertently looked out the window, people came and went, the traffic was busy, a bustling, and the lively scene could not fill her lonely mood at the moment.
Suddenly, an interesting scene came into her eyes, on the opposite side of the road, a woman with a big belly, holding an ice cream that was about to melt in her hand, waving her arms proudly, towards the man carrying a large bag and a small bag on the opposite side, with a bulging high belly, bumping into the man one by one, eyebrows and eyes are crooked, smiling, even with a big belly, the figure is still slender.
What a beautiful mother-to-be!
Because the father-to-be is facing away from Mu Yuqing, she can't see his expression at this time, she can imagine that his wife is so beautiful, and there is a baby about to be born in her womb, that man must be as sweet as a woman smiling at this time, right?
Looking at the love and happiness of the two, Mu Yuqing couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly, and after smiling, there was a trace of bitterness in her heart, her boyfriend who had been admitted to graduate school twice and was still continuing to take the exam, when could she give her a sweet care? When will they have the crystallization of love?
Because of envy, I glanced at the couple a few more times, and when my eyes swept over again, the man diligently took the woman's hand and prepared to cross the road, his handsome and gentle face, clear eyebrows and eyes, calmly, clearly fell into Mu Yuqing's eyes.
The eyebrows, the manners, were so familiar that they couldn't be familiar, the figure of that person was like a huge stone, and it pressed towards Mu Yuqing's heart, and in an instant, the wind in her chest surged, and the wind was raging.
I only heard a crisp sound of "ding", and the small and delicate coffee spoon fell to the ground with a bang, shattering into an ugly shape. Her face was bloodless in an instant, pale and frightening, her lips trembled, and she stared at the gentle and messy man at this time.
Obviously it was the height of summer, Mu Yuqing seemed to have fallen into an unfathomable ice cave, and suddenly her whole body was cold, she trembled her hands, wanted some support, and grabbed the edge of the table tightly, her nails scratched deep marks on the wooden tabletop.
It's been four years, and she never knew that He Yi could be so gentle and harmless, and considerate. I never knew that he could be so caring, humble, or even flattering to a woman!
How could it be him? How is he?
Shouldn't he be in a rental house in N City now, enthusiastically preparing for the next round of graduate exams? How could a famous brand appear in S City, thousands of miles away, like a good man at home?
With such wet eyes like a stream, a high nose bridge, lips that seem to be smiling but not smiling, dimples that are faintly hidden on the cheeks, and the last time I went to see him, I had to trim him into a crisp and neat hairy short hair, if it wasn't him, who would make her so familiar? Familiar enough to clearly depict the lines of the man's palm, handsome eyebrows and eyes.
She staggered to her feet, slapped a hundred-dollar bill on the table, and walked briskly out of the café.
A heat wave rushed towards her, her eyes hurt from the bright sun, her brain was dizzy, she trotted a few steps, and scolded coldly at the back that could no longer be familiar, "He Yi, stop." The trembling voice was almost incorrect.
The man turned around, his jaw was about to drop in surprise, and then he was nervous and flustered, "Ah...... Qing, you ...... How do you ......"
Controlling the heart that was about to jump out, and controlling the anger that was about to burn himself to ashes, Mu Yuqing walked forward, every step was as sharp as stepping on a sharp knife.
The delicate pot-bellied woman beside He Yi was like a demon eating away at her heart.
She is his relative, his cousin, his former classmate, his ex-girlfriend, the child in her belly is not his, He Yi, hurry up and tell me, things are not what I imagined!
She endured the heart-rending pain, and walked forward step by step, she never knew that the distance of seven or eight meters was so long, long enough to travel through four years of time and space, spring went to autumn, big dreams of fog and snow, but his eyebrows were as good as the first time.
Facing the dazzling sun, Mu Yuqing smiled slightly, with a pale and cool vicissitudes, "Who is she?" ”
"She's ...... Qing, you ...... Listen to me! ”
Well, you say, she wants to see how he, who has never been good at lying, can explain the stunned woman standing on his side and her round bulging belly.
Mu Yuqing, who is as sharp as a sky, has always adhered to a beautiful lie, but it can't match the true piety.
But at this moment, she hoped that he would immediately deny everything in front of him, saying that the woman was a classmate and a cousin, and even if it was a clumsy lie, she would accept it willingly.
She is not as strong as she seems on the outside, she is afraid of the ugly truth, she is afraid of the heartache that is about to suffocate, her invincibility, at this moment turns into a crumbling drop of water, if she is not careful, she will snap to the ground, fall to pieces, and evaporate.
"Aqing......" He Yi bit his lip tightly, his fair face flushed, and fine beads of sweat quietly slid down his perfect face.
"He Yi, who is she?" The woman on one side suddenly spoke, threw the ice cream in her hand, stuck it to He Yi's side, and held his right arm tightly, as if swearing sovereignty to the outside world, showing vigilance.
Seeing that He Yi didn't answer for a long time, the woman raised her delicate chin defiantly in the direction of Mu Yuqing, "He Yi is my husband, who are you?" ”
And so it was!!
A clear tear rolled down the corner of Mu Yuqing's eyes, ha, husband? What a familiar title, shouldn't it be her exclusive name for him?
Who is she? If it was placed in N University four years ago, I am afraid that no one in the school would know that she Mu Yuqing is his He Yi's official girlfriend.
Is it too easy to get that you don't cherish it? Is it because four years ago in the evening, she took the initiative to say to him, I like you, and I am doomed to abandon today?
A wry smile spread on her lips, her heavy pupils were endless ashes, and where her eyes touched, it was He Yi's handsome face, calmly persecuted, but it was endless hatred, "He Yi, who am I?" Tell her! ”
The trembling tail note, with a chill of discouragement, just as he said a word, she would immediately turn around, and from then on the end of the world.
