Volume 6: The City of the Heart (10)

The ringing of cell phones in the middle of the night disturbed the silence.

Xia Qing's eyes made Chen Zhao only smile bitterly, and he didn't know why, he was afraid that Xia Qing would misunderstand something, so he directly raised the call prompt on his mobile phone to her.

"I took it?"

“... You don't have to report to me when you answer the phone. Xia Qing sneered and glanced at Chen Zhao, "Could it be that you still want to hold an event where I am the head of the family?" ”

Chen Zhao smiled dryly, "That's okay." With that, he answered the phone.

"Manager Yu, is there something wrong?"

"Going out?"

"Get out?"

Chen Zhao was stunned and looked at Xia Qing, but this time Xia Qing did not reply, and I continued to review the documents calmly.

Default yes?

Chen Zhao thinks it's not 9 o'clock now, so he won't think too much about going out at this time, right? Thinking of this, he relieved his heart and asked, "What is related to Zhang Jun?" ”

Yu Yazhi was silent for a few seconds, and then turned into a strange 'deep' feeling in her voice, "Well, almost..."

This tone made Chen Zhao scratch his head, but he didn't want to refuse, and nodded, "Okay." Where is it? ”

"There's a café not far from your house. Do you know? ”

“...”

Chen Zhao was a little stunned, he didn't expect Yu Yazhi to run to his house. Could it be that he came with Zhang Jun?

He got up, put on his clothes and was about to go out, when Xia Qing suddenly called out to him, "Chen Zhao, wait a minute." ”

"What's wrong?"

"That Yu Yazhi... It's Manager Yu who helped you find a job, right? She and Zhang Jun..."

“...”

Chen Zhao smiled bitterly, and Xia Qing immediately understood, lowered his head and sighed, and said softly, "Be careful on the road, come back early." ”

"Okay."

....

The night of 9 o'clock is actually not that deep.

For many, this is just the beginning. Chen Zhao had never been in contact with their glamorous world. Not to mention entering what those people call a 'drunken dream' bar or some one-night stand.

So for him, there is no such thing as colorful.

Dark alleys, lonely few figures... The only thing that can be considered fun is home.

This coffee shop nearby is rustic. There is no luxury enough to be accompanied by a piano, a girl who plays, or a piano music that is in line with the season. is well known, and it is almost never replaced day after day, those few songs are considered to be eliminated by the times.

But fortunately, the corresponding price is affordable.

There was no one in the coffee shop, Chen Zhao looked at it and immediately arrested Yu Yazhi, who was sitting in the corner and ordered two cups of coffee. She was holding her head in her hands, looking thoughtfully at the ancient tree outside the window that was gently swayed by the summer breeze.

"Zhang Jun didn't come?"

Chen Zhao sat opposite Yu Yazhi with a smile on his face.

He wasn't polite, after all, he was quite familiar with Yu Yazhi, so he reached out and moved the second cup of coffee next to her, took a sip, and continued, "It's a little cold, you can help me order early." ”

Yu Yazhi was dumbfounded, and instead smiled bitterly, "I drank that cup." I started to get it wrong, and I put it there.."

“...”

Chen Zhao was a little embarrassed, although this is an adult, this is indeed nothing to be ashamed of, but he is still a little embarrassed when his soul is young. pushed the cup away, called the waiter to ask for a cup of Blue Mountain, and repeated the initial question, "Zhang Jun didn't come?" ”

"What is he doing here?" Yu Yazhi pouted, "Looking for you, you have to take him?" ”

"It's not... The main thing is that you found this remote café and thought it was brought by Zhang Jun. ”

"This place is not big, just look for it and find it, it's not so unusual."

She stirred the coffee, and suddenly said, "Zhang Jun and I may be together." ”

“...”

Yu Yazhi's sudden words made Chen Zhao a little stunned, and soon turned strange again, came to him to talk about this? Wouldn't it be nice to make a phone call? Or are you afraid that you will be unhappy because she is with Zhang Jun?

Also...

I just came to her a few days ago and told her not to be with Zhang Jun.

After Chen Zhao finished analyzing, he said, "Hmm... Never mind. If it is the choice you and Zhang Jun have made after thinking about it, I can't destroy you no matter what. All it can be said is... His marriage in the past ten years has come to an end. Don't look at Zhang Jun like this, in fact... Others are still good. It will be good for you. ”

Now more than he did before, he wants the two to be together.

This is a somewhat selfish idea.

Because in this way... Zhang Jun will not get back together with Yang Xiaoru, and after a long time, his guilt will be able to dissipate, right? Thinking of this, Chen Zhao found that he was relieved, and he couldn't help but feel a burst of irony.

Yu Yazhi didn't seem to expect Chen Zhao to respond like this, and was stunned for a while.

She was silent.

The slightly complicated eyes on the beautiful face stared at Chen Zhao for a moment, then glanced sideways at a table of couples not far away, and finally stopped at the tree that was barely green in the dark night that he was staring at when he first came in...

Yu Yazhi laughed, "Hey..."

"What's wrong?"

"Nope. It occurred to me that the phrase was, 'Don't expect an impossible response.'" I don't know where I saw it, I think it's in a book, the story is funny, the protagonist is stupid, and I laugh when I think about it. Yu Yazhi replied calmly with a smile.

"You still read?"

"Look. I like to watch it. ”

Done.

Yu Yazhi's eyes flashed a little unwillingly with her head down. After that, it seemed that she deliberately wanted to show the 'joy' that made people feel her smile, and said to Chen Zhao with that extra artificiality, "I may get married soon after I decide to be together." Although I haven't talked about a boyfriend yet, I've skipped falling in love... But that's nothing, isn't it? I can't wait any longer. ”

Chen Zhao was speechless.

He felt that Yu Yazhi... Isn't it a bit too rushed?

Understand. But he didn't think he understood Yu Yazhi, probably because people had ideas. I didn't bother to do more analysis, nodded my head, and jokingly said, "Hmm... My children are 5 years old, and you should have one too. ”

“....”

It's over.

Yu Yazhi thought that her conversation was over.

"Really... yes, it's good to have children. Uh, by the way, can I ask you, do you like your wife or daughter? ”

Yu Yazhi asked the last question.

“... What's the problem? Chen Zhao smiled bitterly, he knew that he definitely liked children more, and he had a great impression of Xia Qing, because Xia Qing was a good woman and a good wife. But there is no love.

"Well, I like them all, the same." His hypocritical word.

"So... Well, I understand, then I'll go? I came to you just to tell you that I was going to be with Zhang Jun. Since you don't object, then I'll also... Put your mind at ease. ”

At the mouth of the alley, Chen Zhao watched the start of the car, eliminating it at night, only the pair of red taillights that were fading away...

Yu Yazhi in the car was a little dazed, she didn't know what she was thinking in her head now... She wanted to use her brain to say something strong to herself, but her blank brain resisted her consciousness...

"It's over. Also, life will pass. ”

....

Chen Zhao was a little happy, and he felt that the burden in his heart was finally about to be loosened.

Unexpectedly, not long after leaving the coffee shop, Zhang Jun called.

"Chen Zhao, where is Yu Yazhi there?"

"In my place? How do you know? Chen Zhao felt strange, but he didn't wait for Zhang Jun to answer, "She just invited me to a cup of coffee." Talk to me about you, congratulations. ”

"Congratulations?"

"Didn't Yu Yazhi promise to be with you soon?" Chen Zhao said with a smile.

“....”

On the other side of the phone, Zhang Jun was stunned for a long time, looking a little stunned.

"Promise? She didn't tell me! I just asked a few days ago, and I was told that it was still early, and I had to think about it. He shook his head.

"She just told me! You're a person, you don't have a woman's heart, a woman says no, that's to say, do you understand, you have to learn something..."

Chen Zhao and Zhang Jun chatted.

It's been a long time since the two have chatted so briskly.

Yes, Zhang Jun is reluctant to talk to Chen Zhao more recently. The reason is also very simple, he is afraid that Chen Zhao will say something that annoys him, such as not giving up Yang Xiaoru and the like, which makes him quite a headache... Why has today's Chen Zhao changed?

"Chen Zhao, you don't object?"

“...”

Chen Zhao froze, but soon eased up, and pretended to be calm, "Although I still hope that you don't give up Yang Xiaoru, but if I ask you to get back together, will you get back together?" As a good brother, I can only hope that you will find the next happiness. ”

Below, Chen Zhao forgot how many hypocritical blessings he had said.

He found that his joy might still be hidden, but it seemed to add something to his emotions that disgusted him and made him feel ashamed.

"Mistake after mistake..."

He muttered under his breath.

If that hadn't happened, he would have been able to reprimand Zhang Jun with confidence, asking Yu Yazhi to give up Zhang Jun and so on... Yes, after more than ten years of feelings, why did he suddenly discard such a heavy thing that he emphasized like Zhang Jun?

Because of selfishness, because it is to protect oneself?

It's ridiculous!

As Yang Xiaoru said... I and Zhang Jun are the same kind of people?

This kind of ridicule made Chen Zhao laugh out loud, the previous tough and self-confessed words of 'good for Zhang Jun' were all hypocritical?

He didn't want to think about it.

In this long night, his steps seemed to be climbing a ladder. Home is obviously so close, but Chen Zhao feels that the distance is a bit too far... Step by step, as slow as a snail.

It only took about ten minutes to go out, and when I got home, Xia Qing had just finished her work, took off her clothes and was just about to go to bed.

"So fast?"

"There's nothing to talk about." Chen Zhao showed a complicated smile: "I just said something about Zhang Jun." I'm sorry, I may have been wrong in my prediction last time, Zhang Jun and Yang Xiaoru, there may be no possibility of getting back together. ”

Xia Qing frowned, "It's nothing." This is his choice, what do you apologize for? It's not you who is at fault. ”

Chen Zhao was silent.

He was apologizing for his lies the other day.

And wrong... But it's really me...

"Come up and lie down and talk."

Xia Qing let Chen Zhao go to bed before asking, "Then Manager Yu, are you sure you are with Zhang Jun?" ”

"Hmm..."

"Is it...," Xia Qing said softly, "that can only bless them." Manager Yu is also good, Zhang Junren is also good, and in terms of feelings, it is not our master. “

Sometimes, a wrong choice that should not be made, or a path that should not be taken by a confused person, can have far more serious consequences than the answer.

And this world has retribution... Who dares to guarantee that the road he pointed out will one day be walked by himself?

"Do you think... How is it that I compare myself with Zhang Junbi? Chen Zhao remembered Yang Xiaoru's words again, 'You and Zhang Jun are the same kind of people', and his emotions were a little complicated, like an echo in his mind, constantly ringing, it was so harsh...

"You and Zhang Jun?"

Xia Qing didn't seem to think about it, just answered in his heart, and said with a smile, "I think... You are not the same as him. You're better than him... At least you didn't abandon me, didn't you get divorced? ”

“....”

"Really?" Chen Zhao's smile was a little complicated...

Really.

No matter how close you are, you can't see through your own inside... Hypocrisy is a thing that hides everything.
