Chapter Twenty-Three: The Lotus Root Breaks the Thread

Ai Jia and Chen Lan have a particularly good relationship. She helped Chen Lan speak, and everyone understood. In the past, Lin You had never been willing to debate these things with Ai Jia. But today is different, he asked Ai Jia rhetorically, "These are all said by Chen Lan and Lin Ran, what else is impossible?" ”

Ai Jia ignored Lin You, she turned her head and asked me, "Lin Ran, you may not know. Just two days before you broke up with Chen Lan, Chen Lan and I were still on the phone. She also told me what kind of wedding she was going to have. I didn't believe it, and two days later she suddenly changed her mind......"

I shook my head with a wry smile, sighed, and said to Aijia, "Maybe I'm too incompetent. She can't even get married to the way she wants! Well, that's all in the past. Let's change the subject......"

The last thing I want to talk about now is Chen Lan. Ai Jia didn't seem to be too desperate, and she whispered again, "In short, I don't believe that Chen Lan will be such a person......

The topic stopped though. But I still feel empty and sad in my heart. Chen Lan, has it really become a shadow that I can't get out of in this life?

Because I haven't seen each other for almost a year. The three of us started to drink hard. While drinking, we talked about interesting things from school. Everyone is like this, when they are on campus, they are looking forward to graduating soon. But as soon as I entered the society, I began to miss the campus again. Lin You's face turned red. He began to talk about Zou Zhanqiang's troubles. At that time, Zou Zhanqiang didn't know Ai Jia. Once he went to the ATM to withdraw money, it was Ai Jia who was in line behind him. He fell in love with Aijia at first sight. In order to install B in front of Aijia, he deliberately did not choose Chinese and operated the ATM in English.

The end result was that his bank card was swallowed by an ATM because it was too rubbish. The people in the back of the queue complained to him.

When Lin You said this. Ai Jia always looked at Zou Zhanqiang gently, and I was a little jealous when I saw the affection on his face.

I sighed in my heart, if Chen Lan was like Ai Jia, she would still be by my side. How nice would that be? He continued to drink, and Niu B continued to blow. This scene made me want to go back to my carefree college days. In a daze, I was a little drunk.

In the middle, Ai Jia went out to make a phone call. When we came back, I took the bottle of wine from our side to the side, smiled softly, and said, "You three should drink in another place." If you drink like this, the waiter will be annoyed......"

Indeed, we drank for three or four hours. As soon as she finished speaking, she turned to look at me again. The voice said gently, "Lin Ran, you haven't drunk too much, have you?" ”

I shook my head. I felt like I was more awake than when I wasn't drinking.

When I came out of the hotel, it was already dark. Ai Jia drove her little BYD, pulled the three of us drunks, and went directly to the old friend bar.

There are not many people in the bar. As we entered, I took a special look at the stage. I didn't see Qin Mo, I saw a long-haired male singer holding a guitar, playing and singing to himself on it.

Lin You sat on the booth on the side. He looked at the male singer on the stage and said drunkenly, "This grandson's hair is tied up like Liu Huan, and his hair is put down like Gao Xiaosong." It's better to be strong and pleasing to the eye......"

A few of us laughed. He and Zhan Qiang pinched as soon as they met, and everyone was used to it.

Ordered a beer, and we continued to drink. I had just taken a few sips when someone suddenly tapped me the shoulder. As soon as I turned around, a fragrant fragrance immediately entered my nostrils.

I saw Qin Mo standing behind him with a smile. She also knew Zou Zhanqiang and Ai Jia, but she didn't know her too well. Several people greeted her, and I said to her, "Qin Mo, sit down and drink together......"

Qin Mo shook his head and pointed to the stage, "It's time for me, I'll sing and drink for you." What do you want to hear? ”

"The most familiar stranger ......"

I blurted out. Qin Mo nodded in agreement, turned around and went on the stage.

And Zou Zhanqiang put his hand on my shoulder, and he whispered, "Lin Ran, if you and Chen Lan are really hopeless." Then you can put it down......" I took a sip of beer, looked at Qin Mo on the stage, and said indifferently, "I have already put down ......"

Zou Zhanqiang smiled and shook his head.

Qin Mo's singing is great. I was really fascinated by what I heard, and suddenly Lin You on the other side whispered my name. As soon as I looked at him, he immediately gave me a look. Meaning make me look behind me.

As soon as I turned around, I saw Ai Jia and Chen Lan walking in arm in arm. Ai Jia didn't enter the bar just now, so she was waiting for Chen Lan at the door.

As soon as the two arrived at the table, Chen Lan greeted Lin You and Zou Zhanqiang. Then I looked at me, and I was so uncomfortable that I didn't even know where to look.

Ai Jia also noticed the embarrassment between the two of us, she pointed to the position next to me, and said to Chen Lan with a smile, "Lan Lan, sit there." Sit next to Lin Ran ......"

Chen Lan did not object. As soon as she sat down, I immediately smelled the familiar smell of her.

With Chen Lan's arrival, the atmosphere also became a little weird. Lin You and the three of them deliberately talked about a light topic. But Chen Lan didn't respond at all.

Seeing this, Lin You simply didn't say more. A few of us drank beer and listened to Qin Mo sing.

After a while, Chen Lan suddenly said to me, "Lin Ran, are you ready to give up Qingzi's list?" ”

Chen Lan once again mentioned Qingzi's list. I shook my head and said, "No, I'm still trying!" ”

Chen Lan let out an "oh" and said, "Jieyu Advertising and Mr. Zhou have been contacted. The business plan has also been brought over, and now the company is discussing ......"

Sure enough, as Enron said. Qingzi and Jieyu have not officially signed a contract yet.

"I'll make an appointment with you tomorrow. You try again to get this list down......"

As soon as Chen Lan finished speaking, Zou Zhanqiang immediately answered, "Great! Lin Ran, Chen Lan will help you. Your list is secure. I said don't drink it, now find a quiet place and discuss with Chen Lan what to do......"

Zou Zhanqiang's meaning is obvious, he wants me to talk to Chen Lan alone. As friends, they don't want me and Chen Lan to end up like this.

I smiled, my eyes fixed on Qin Mo on the stage. Shaking his head slightly, he said, "Thank you!" No need ......"

My indifferent attitude immediately angered Chen Lan. She looked at me with a frown, tilted her head and asked, "Lin Ran, I know you blame me and hate me!" But you can't mix personal feelings with your work......"

I sneered and asked her, "Personal feelings?" If it weren't for personal feelings, would you say this to me? Don't you mix personal feelings with work in the same way? ”

Chen Lan's face became more and more ugly. Zou Zhanqiang kicked me under the table. After a while, Chen Lan sighed and said faintly, "I want to help you because of my personal feelings!" Because I'm sorry for you, I want to make up for ......"

Chen Lan's words stimulated the most sensitive part of my heart. I looked at Chen Lan with a sneer and asked her, "Chen Lan, who do you think of me?" Make up for? Five years of affection, you take an order to make up for it? ”

Seeing that I was emotional, Ai Jia immediately whispered to me, "Lin Ran, it's okay." Don't say it......"

But I couldn't control myself at all. Driven by alcohol, I stared at Chen Lan and continued, "Chen Lan, we have been together for five years. Do you know? The first thing I do when I wake up every morning is look at the weather forecast. I'm going to tell you what to wear every day. I'm afraid you're cold, I'm afraid you're hot. You have menstrual cramps and wake up in the middle of the night. I knocked on more than a dozen pharmacies and supermarkets. Bought you medicine and brown sugar. You're asleep, but I'm cold. Because it was winter, I ran outside for more than an hour wearing only my single clothes. But you know what? I did this without any thought of anything in return, let alone regretted it. Because I loved you then. I think that's what a man should do. If I went back to the old days, I would still do that......"

With that, I took a long sip of beer. And Chen Lan had already burst into tears. I continued, "Chen Lan! You don't understand, there is no way to make up for feelings. None of us owe anything to anyone. I don't want anything from you to make up for it......"

At this point, I let out a long sigh. Trying to calm himself down, he muttered, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have told you this." I wish you happiness......"

With that, I got up and walked in the direction of the door.

Qin Mo on the stage was singing her original song, the lyrics were great, just like what was written to me.

"I can't go back to the past, and I won't complain. Since they are all scattered in two, why bother to break the thread and ......"
