Chapter I
Chapter I
The lively and cheerful Li Zhi enlivened the atmosphere in the ward. During the chat, she made Fu Buyi and Xiao He laugh many times.
"Then I'll go back first, uncle. When you're all right, let's sing together. You promised me. Before leaving, Li Zhi reminded.
"Okay." Fu Buyi agreed.
"It's nice to be young." After Li Zhi left, Fu Buyi, who was lying on the hospital bed, rested his head on his hands and sighed.
"I envy young people, but I don't have confidence." Xiao He, who was sitting on the chair next to the bed, quipped.
"It's not about self-confidence. It is not easy for my writer friend to say that middle-aged people envy young people, not only envy, or not envy their vitality and unaging body at all, but more envy that their life has just begun, and the future has unlimited possibilities. Fu Buyi looked at the ceiling.
"When you reach middle age, more than half of your life, life, family, marriage, work, career, all kinds of unsatisfactory are in front of you. Who doesn't yearn to be reincarnated and live again? It's not escapism. They just want to adjust their original life trajectory so that they don't live or live like they are now. That's all. Fu Buyi exhaled from his nose.
"Are you talking about yourself?" Xiao He understood.
"Sort of."
"You've wanted to live again, too?" Xiao He asked.
"Hmm." Fu Buyi nodded.
"You want to adjust the trajectory of your life too?"
"Nope. It's to fix it. β
"Fix what?" Xiao He was curious.
"Heart, or soul. My heart is clouded by something. β
Xiao He savored it.
"What about you, Xiao He, have you ever thought about living again? Probably not, right? β
"Of course I do." Xiao He replied resolutely.
"Oh? Quite unexpected. So what do you want to do? β
"I watched a TV series a while ago. There is a line in it that says that the order of appearance in life is very important. I think so. Xiao He looked at Fu Buyi.
"In life, there are too many people, even if they meet each other, they may just be passing by. After completing the short intersection of life, they will lie in each other's social tools forever. So, I want to live all over again and adjust myself to certain people...... When and where you met. Perhaps, something different will happen between two people. And the emotions or cognitions of two people will be different from each other. Xiao He nodded affirmatively.
"That'...... What if the adjusted situation doesn't happen as you expected? β
"Choosing to be reborn means being dissatisfied with the status quo. If you're not satisfied, why not make a hopeful attempt? β
"Isn't that just gambling? Xiao He, isn't this your personality? β
"I think everyone will gamble once for the things they value. The reckless kind. Hehe. Xiao He looked at Fu Buyi with a smile.
Fu Buyi nodded in agreement.
"Mr. Fu, I am very happy to chat with you today. Why don't we take a picture? Xiao He suggested.
"Ugh. My friend and lover also said that in the past, a group photo was either an intimate testimony or a parting souvenir. And now, it's probably just to post a circle of friends. For someone my age, it's rare to take a group photo these days. β
"It's so incisive. That...... My definition of our group photo is that the reason why people take a group photo is to keep the beauty. If you feel good at this point, keep it. That...... Mr. Fu, let's take a group photo. β
Time after dinner. in a recreational park.
Fu is not easy to walk among them.
"Hey, it's not surprising, her back, so brisk, hey, understand, people will come, they will leave......" An outdoor female anchor was singing.
"Passing by the World." Fu Buyi hurriedly walked over. He didn't want to miss it. When he first heard the song, he liked it. He felt that this was a portrayal of his life.
In the face of ordinary people like Fu Buyi who don't understand music, singers who can soar high notes or have a smoky voice seem to be more popular. Because you'll be instantly captivated by their voices. And the voice of this female anchor does not meet the above two conditions, but her singing voice meets Fu Buyi's appeal for this song. Singing has emotion.
"Quickly wipe away your tears, see how beautiful the epiphany is, passing by the world, nothing more than a moment, every side by side, is just rubbing shoulders, who has been disappointed, this is what is owed, passing through the world, has been this reincarnation, lucky, maybe in the end with anyone, do not owe each other......"
The sense of bringing in is very strong. As soon as the chorus came out, Fu Buyi was instantly brought into some fragments of the past. He was excited. There was an emotion surging through him. The surge seemed to suppress the memory, preventing it from coming to light. Suppressed, surging.
Fu Buyi couldn't resist the overflow of his heart. He suddenly wanted to express it.
The female anchor sings. Fu Buyi stepped forward. "Hello."
"Hello." The female anchor responded.
"I ...... Can I sing one? Fu Buyi asked.
"Uncle, are you here to smash the field? I don't make much money in one night. The female anchor joked.
"It's not. I...... I don't sing well. It is...... I want to sing a song. β
"Hey, hey. Good. Here you come. What to sing? I'll help you choose. β
"The Possibility of Love."
"You appeared next to me like a miracle, I didn't expect it to be you, let me lose my soul so much, the feeling in my heart is so strange, happy care, in every minute of the ...... together"
Fu Buyi felt that he was singing this song with emotion every time. And he thinks that his low-to-low husky voice is a precise interpretation of the song. He was immersed in it. When a violin interlude sounds, he bends his left hand and raises it, his neck tilted to the left, and his right hand plays the violin.
The scab on the body, although it is itchy and painful, you will still unconsciously touch it, scratch it and expose it. Enjoy the pain that comes with discomfort, which is driven by obsessive-compulsive disorder.
In the face of pain, Fu Buyi did not always maintain a posture of struggle. He felt that in that way, pain would look down on him. Or maybe he's just changed his ways. The inside struggles, and the outside, as it is now, enjoys. He was enjoying the inability to extricate himself from powerlessness.
"That's nice." Not far away, a woman was attracted by Fu Buyi's singing. She walked this way.
"Hey! Lisaγ The woman was stopped. Look back.
"Yikes! It's you. Oops, hug. The two women hugged each other and recounted the past.
"Because you have your life, I have my journey, and there are people waiting for you ahead. You will cry, you will laugh, you will love, you will hurt, will you knock on my door. Although you are serious about me, I am also very moved, you are not my person after all, but remember that when you are lonely, I will stretch out my hands, I will be your friend, to eternity. β
The song was infectious to everyone. "Good!" The crowd of onlookers burst into applause.
"Hmm. Okay, be sure to get together. Well, bye-bye. After saying goodbye to her college classmates, Lisa followed the song and walked to Fu Buyi.
"Wow, uncle, you sang so well." The female anchor admired.
"Huh." Fu Buyi smiled bitterly. "By the way, I ...... Say it. Fu Buyi took out his mobile phone and scanned the QR code of the female anchor.
"Wow, uncle, five hundred? Thank you, uncle. β
"Gone." Fu Buyi walked out of the crowd.
"Thank you, uncle. Thanks uncle. β
"Alas. Uncle. He savored the word as he walked. Tonight, it is destined to be sleepless.
"Huh? Finished singing? What a pity. By the time Lisa walked out into the crowd, the singing that drew her attention to her was long gone. The singer was replaced by a female anchor. Lisa pouted and walked away.
Outside the TV gate, a red Ferrari stopped. Down came a middle-aged man in his early forties. Compared to his peers, he is about ten years younger and has good maintenance. Black-framed glasses, medium build, slightly chubby, thoughtful appearance, kind in his bones, without the disdain of everything around him like a rich person. Medium to short hair, three-seven points, white sports sneakers, blue jeans, white hoodie, dark beige cropped trench coat. Simple and casual, clean and generous. Holding a document bag in your hand. His name is Fu Buyi. Deputy General Manager of Tianxiang Investment Company. This time I came to the TV station to find the director of the TV shopping channel, his high school classmate, and the goddess who had a crush in his adolescence, Pan Yan.
Fu Buyi didn't want to describe his state of mind and condition five years ago and earlier. Anyway, in short, five years ago, my uncle, who was far away abroad and had no children, died of illness. The inheritance was left to him.
People hope that the rotation of the wheel of fortune can be more reflected in the number of accounts. However, a change of identity does not mean that you can change everything else at the same time.
Before coming, he had been on the phone with Pan Yan, so Fu Buyi walked straight into Pan Yan's office. "Hello Director Pan." Fu Buyi greeted politely when he entered the door.
"Oh, Fu Buyi, long time no see, welcome." Pan Yan got up and greeted her. Medium-long hair is tied back at the back of his head, and he wears a light blue professional shirt with a white shirt. Although I haven't seen him for more than 20 years, his sweet voice still makes Fu Buyi feel cordial. Maintaining a good figure and appearance does not seem to contradict the good memories that still exist in Fu Buyi's heart. It seems that the years have not changed anything, the former is the present, and the current is the former is. Maybe that's the charm of the goddess.
For now, Pan Yan is a combination of the appearance of a thirty-year-old and the charm of a forty-year-old. Shrewd and capable, he has been engaged in the television industry for more than 20 years, initially as a reporter and host. When TV shopping was just emerging, he changed his career to become a TV shopping program, and was the founder of the TV shopping channel and the first TV shopping host in the province. In more than 20 years of work, he has accumulated a large number of contacts. It also earns a lot of money. She was an amazing woman.
Fu Buyi thought that the two hands would be tightly and enthusiastically clasped together. Who thought Pan Yan walked up, stretched out her arms, and made a gesture to hug. Fu Buyi didn't expect it, and suddenly he was there. So the following conversation was born.
"Long time no see, hug it." Director Pan's enthusiasm and generosity are the result of years of experience in society, and this time he added an extra layer of classmate affection to Fu Buyi.
"No, the word 'long time no see', now it seems to be a special word for greeting your ex, not for the two of us." The embarrassed Fu Buyi wanted to change the topic and dissolve this hug.
"you, come on, hug it." Pan Yan is quite persistent.
"I said, let's shake hands."
"Why?"
"I only hug my daughter-in-law, and no one else hugs."
"With all due respect, do you have a daughter-in-law?"
"I didn't ...... No, I don't. Fu is not easy to double the embarrassment.
"Then what are you pretending to me?"
"I ...... Although I don't have a daughter-in-law, I have principles. β
"Principles? The principles are all money spent now. Didn't you get your money in exchange for principles? β
"I'm ...... Not really. Hehe. Fu Buyi smiled and congratulated him that he was not.
"Then you call out your principles, I'll see what it looks like, and whether it looks good with me. No, old man, I'm a woman, and I've been holding my hands for a long time, aren't I embarrassed, are you embarrassed to embarrass me? Pan Yan pretended to be angry.
"Then I can't go against my principles of being a man just because you're embarrassed."
"Hey, you can really pretend now, so what are you doing today?"
"Oh, I'm here to talk about a couple of advertising businesses."
"Don't hug it, don't you? Nothing to talk about. β
"Huh? I said, Director, have you abused your power to such an extent in order to satisfy your selfish desires? β
"Hahahaha, you, don't tease you, if you tease me again, I'll myself off first. Come, please be seated. Pan Yan gave up her seat enthusiastically.
"Hey." Fu Buyi happily agreed, relieved that he finally didn't hug it, his character really couldn't stand this kind of enthusiasm.
"Old Fu, old Fu," as soon as the two of them sat down, Pan Yan began to count Fu Buyi, "It's not that I said you, you're almost fifty years old, why are you still as introverted and shy as a high school student, I heard that you are now a big boss with a net worth of hundreds of millions, and you are so timid to even hug women, this doesn't look like a big boss." β
"What's the big boss? Does the big boss dare to hug any woman? Hehe. Fu Buyi finished speaking, shyly smiling wickedly.
"I can't even take what you say, it's really level. Hahahaha. Pan Yan's hearty laughter seemed to travel back in time to her high school days. Fu Buyi likes to be in the corner of the classroom or playground, silently paying attention to his goddess, silently listening to her hearty laughter. He felt that this was all he had lived. He felt that this was what adults call happiness.
Pure age, simple emotion, the reason for liking a person of the opposite sex may be because of a smile, or even a vulgar spitting action. It's just that he is not good, and he doesn't dare to confess. Maybe he doesn't want to at all, and he won't confess. Because maybe he was born a prophet, or maybe he could see through the world. At that time, he already understood that youth is used as a sacrifice.
"The key is that when I saw the goddess, I was a little in awe." Fu Buyi hurriedly explained, he already felt that he was behaving very embarrassed in front of a goddess he hadn't seen for more than twenty years.
"Mom, 'solemn respect' is here, and it's a 'salute', haha." Another hearty laugh.
Fu Buyi smiled shyly, his eyes looked down at the coffee table, and he didn't dare to look at Pan Yan more.
"I know I was your goddess, but I don't know if it's still or not?"
"Yes, always. It's just that there was no word for a goddess at that time. Fu Buyi replied as if he was expressing his determination. Extremely firm.
"Really? Now, don't they all say that love will disappear? It's been more than 20 years, hasn't this love disappeared? Director Pan Yan exudes the smug look of facing admirers that is unique to women.
"Don't dare to say love. I have great respect for you. Admiration doesn't go away. β
"you. Hahahaha. Pan Yan was not disappointed, but was amused by this poor child.
"By the way, how did you know about the goddess? I just secretly had a crush on you, and I didn't tell anyone. Fu is not easy to understand.
"Pull it down, is this still a secret? At the beginning, you were such a nymphomaniac, and even Xiaobai laughed at you. β
"Who is Xiaobai? I don't remember. β
"Xiaobai is my dog." Pan Yan deliberately put the word "dog" very seriously.
"Uh...... Oh mom, let's get down to business, we can't talk anymore. β
"Haha, who told you not to hug me, okay, let's get down to business. You. Ha ha. Ay! By the way, how do I feel that you haven't changed anywhere else, why is your mouth so poor now? Is it practiced to chase girls? Tell you the truth, after so many years, you have been a girl? β
"Mom, you can pull it down, how can you have that chance. I'm just going to say a few more words in front of women who have a good feeling. β
"Haha, don't tell the truth, wilted. Match your character. Ay! I heard you're long gone? β
"Well, it's been more than ten years, and I've looked for it later, and I've been single for about five years now."
"I've been away for more than 10 years."
"I've heard Kan Chuang say it."
"Why don't we make do with it? Honestly, do you still have thoughts about me? Say. Ha ha. β
