Part XVI
Most women have a soul-defying love and paranoia about the sport of shopping. Yang Hong accompanied Millie to walk around for a morning was already unbearable, found an excuse to go to the area he was interested in, when the two met again, Millie was at the shopping mall service desk for consignment procedures, at that time the express delivery industry was not yet developed, only in high-end shopping malls to cater to the needs of customers, and postal express to join hands to increase the express delivery service, this service is also quite well received.
Millie pointed to the two huge suitcases and said ostentatiously: "Look at my brilliant achievements, it's not easy to come out, I brought some gifts to Lao Xue, as well as the people in the company, and by the way, I also helped my family buy something, just when they are coming back for the New Year, I can also do my filial piety; Brother Yang, what did you buy? Yang Hong had already packed the changed clothes in the newly bought backpack, a casual dress that was more in line with the identity of the student, pointed to the schoolbag and replied: "I bought new clothes and replaced the old clothes, bought an electronic watch, and bought a necklace." I'm sorry for you, when you go back, take these two watches with you, one for Lao Xue, and the other for mine. With that, he handed Millie two bags containing watches. Millie looked at it and asked, "Two watches are not cheap, are they, are you and Lao Xue spending enough money to toss?" Yang Hong was accustomed to Millie's direct way of speaking, and said flatly: "It's all necessary expenses, and you can't save it if you want to." I'm fine, anyway, I don't have a chance to spend money as a student, and I won't have to spend money after a while. ”
In the early morning of the next day, Yang Hong sent Millie away and dialed Lu Xinyu from a public phone. After waiting for more than ten seconds on the other end of the phone, Lu Xinyu answered the phone in a low voice: "Hello, who is it?" I can't answer the phone in class. Yang Hong said coldly: "I haven't known my old classmates since we were separated for a few days?" I'm in Shanghai, I want to see you! Immediately! Right away! There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment, and the sound of a lecture coming from the earpiece became quieter and quieter, accompanied by the sound of the door opening and the sound of high heels walking on the hard ground. After a while, the voice was much quieter, and Lu Xinyu said with a smile: "Yo, you actually chased it to Shanghai?" Aren't you afraid of trouble coming to your door? Yang Hong didn't want to keep her with empty words, so he chose to go straight to the point again: "Don't talk so much nonsense, I want to see you!" Lu Xinyu said a location, Yang Hong put down the phone and reached out to stop the taxi......
At this time, Lu Xinyu looked like a completely changed person, and he was very completely reborn on the surface. Judging from her dress, she can't tell that she is a college student in a business school at all, nor does she look like a bewitching junior, but more like a businessman who has been in the workplace for a long time; In a business casual suit, a purple shirt is worn over a windbreaker, and white high heels elongate the overall line, making her figure appear slender and hide her lack of height. Lu Xinyu sat down and slowly took off his sunglasses, put LV's bag on the side of the table with a little ostentation, casually ordered two cups of coffee with the waiter, and asked, "How is it?" Is it good-looking? Didn't come in vain, did you? Yang Hong retracted his eyes, although he had a skin-to-skin kiss, but the person in front of him no longer belonged to him, but seemed even more strange. Yang Hong thought to himself, Shi Bei was really impressive for three days, Lu Xinyu, Lu Xinyu, are you still the person I know?
Yang Hong covered up the nervousness in his heart with a deliberate smirk: "Hahaha, the change is so big, I can't even recognize you, it seems that your financier is very willing to give up." Originally, I thought about a lot of words on the road, but now that my brain is blank, I don't know where to start, so let's talk nonsense. When Yang Hong spoke, Lu Xinyu took out the makeup mirror from her bag and touched up her makeup, Yang Hong's words did not bring her much interest, and asked: "Running such a long way, you can't let you go home empty-handed, let's make it simpler, do it first and then talk, or talk about it first and then do it?" ”
Lu Xinyu's words made Yang Hong feel disgusted, they were not hairy children, and impulsiveness could not solve any problems, but would cause unnecessary trouble. Yang Hong continued: "To tell you the truth, I haven't let go of you yet, I came to see you today, let me know the gap between the two of us, let me know that you are unattainable, and I will die and know what to do." I know what the trouble on the phone means, Boss Zheng, I definitely can't afford to provoke it, and I have to count on people to squeeze out something to eat from between my teeth, I hope there will be a chance to cooperate in the future, I have offended in the past, I apologize to you and your boss, I'm sorry. Yang Hong deliberately lowered his posture and just wanted to get out as soon as possible, and after speaking, he got up and was about to leave, when he ran into the waiter bringing coffee. Let's finish drinking first and then leave, Lao Zheng is not in Shanghai at this time, if you don't believe it, you can ask your partner, he is doing the groundbreaking ceremony now, and I won't tell him that we have met, since we are here, let's talk for a while. Although he was already a stranger, Lu Xinyu still retained basic politeness.
Yang Hong roughly describes himself as a down-and-out young man, and there are some exaggerated elements in the plot. Lu Xinyu didn't interrupt when she listened, nor did she dismantle him, just listened quietly, which was almost impossible in the early days of the two getting along, when she always couldn't wait to express her various opinions, and being able to listen quietly was also a sign of maturity. When the story was finished, the waiter served two steaks, Yang Hong had not eaten breakfast, and now he was already hungry and panicked after drinking coffee, so he opened his bow left and right and ate big; Looking at Lu Xinyu again, the steak was cut into small pieces with a slow dining knife, and slowly chewed with the sauce in her mouth, which was completely different from the first time she ate the steak. Lu Xinyu said with a smile: "A lot of things happen in the world in various coincidences, I remember the steak that we ate the first time we ate, and you helped me cut the steak at that time, but I didn't expect that this meal was also a steak." After speaking, the corners of Lu Xinyu's mouth twitched inadvertently twice, but he quickly regained his composure, Yang Hong caught this detail, and his lips trembled and asked, "Why are you doing this to me?" Lu Xinyu didn't want to lose control in public, so he put the money under the teacup and said, "Come with me, I'll tell you in another place." ”
Lu Xinyu did not take Yang Hong back to his residence, but came to a hotel, and the strange thing was that there was no front desk registration link, but took the elevator straight upstairs. The temperature in the room was very comfortable, and Lu Xinyu took off his coat after entering the door and teased him with words: "I haven't been close to a woman for a few months, right?" I suffocated my body, but no one feels sorry for you, if you don't say it, I won't say it, the old lover met and returned empty-handed, does this count me as not fulfilling the friendship of the landlord? Lu Xinyu saw Yang Hong's wandering, and took the initiative to reach out to help him take off his coat and comfort: "Don't worry, old classmate, no matter how much you dig a pit, it will not reach out to your head, at least you will not pose any threat to me, let alone bring me benefits." ”
Yang Hong suddenly pushed Lu Xinyu onto the sofa and asked sharply, "Why are you doing this to me?" Why! Draw a salary from the bottom of the kettle when I'm good for nothing! Lu Xinyu was stunned for a moment, then cried, and roared while crying: "The surname is Yang, you still have the face to accuse me?" What the am I sorry about you? You're going to do this to me! It's all your fault to get to where you are today! If it weren't for those few times, I wouldn't be where I am today. It was originally a heart disease, but since Lu Xinyu provoked it, Yang Hong was also ready to deal with it, he said: "Lu Xinyu, you listen to me first!" I thought about it for a long time, when I knew your family background, I wanted to take advantage of the good time to let you earn more money, I did have a deposit in my hand at that time, and this money was completely enough for you to finish college, I didn't dare to take it out and give it to you directly, otherwise what would it be? Lu Xinyu sobbed and asked, "It's been adopted, right?" Just like me? What's the difference? The difference between the morning and evening of time and the quality of life, you want to talk about this, right? Then why did you let me go to accompany the wine? Do you know what my parents and the people around me think of me? Yang Hong tried hard to defend: "At least Lao Xue didn't treat you badly, I can guarantee his character, and I didn't look at you differently, right?" I know such a reliable boss, I just have such a little ability, I just wanted to help you at that time, why do you think of me like this? Would you accept it if I lent you money to let you go to college? Stop torturing each other, okay? ”
Lu Xinyu stopped the tumbling of emotions, took out a cigarette from his bag, skillfully lit one, and threw the cigarette to Yang Hong, the two smoked for a while, Lu Xinyu barely regained his composure: "You are a complete gambler, you bastard!" Even my feelings have to be gambled! An out-and-out scoundrel! Now it's okay, you're gone, you've lost yourself, and I've lost me! What about your great teachings? Speak! Yang Hong extinguished the half-smoked cigarette and explained: "I just want to make some money, no one expected the situation to take a turn for the worse, and I still owe a lot of debt." Don't talk about feelings, my feelings for you are real, but it's too late to say anything now; It's really better to change quickly, you are in much better condition than me now, take 10,000 steps back and say that even if I want to keep you, I don't have the bargaining chips to make a move. ”
Lu Xinyu sighed, and finally said the words hidden in his heart: "You know the situation of my family, at that time, my parents agreed to let me follow you, because they were optimistic about your situation, and even the gifts you gave to my parents were exchanged for money to pay off the mortgage, and I had no way at all; I can't intervene in my parents' affairs, this is forced by the status quo, you don't know that after I earned the money to go to college, my mother cried happily, she said that my father was about to kneel for others in order to make up for my tuition. Indeed, you pulled me when my family needed money the most, and fortunately you didn't lend me money to go to college, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to hold my head up in front of you for the rest of my life. When you indirectly or directly offered me to accompany the drink, I felt for the first time like a commodity, and my fate was completely at the mercy and control of others; Forget it if you don't comfort me afterwards, you are ashamed to tell me a lot of big truths, and despise me and my family with the attitude of a successful person, I hated you very much at the time, and even your kindness to me has changed, not like the taste of love, more like a kind of charity, fortunately I didn't let me accompany the guests to do unpleasant things, and I didn't embarrass me, otherwise I would hate you even more! Mr. Xue and Millie were also very good to me, they didn't treat me as an outsider, let alone treat me differently, and Millie often confided with me; Mr. Xue gave me a generous salary at one time, which was much higher than I expected, which touched me very much. After I had deep contact with Boss Zheng, I didn't hate you anymore, do you know why? It was in him that I really felt what it means to be an inappropriate day! On the night I promised him, I got out of bed after two days of torture, and there was no dignity to talk about at all. There is a word called giving, after all, there is giving, I lost my dignity, but I got more resources and more opportunities than my peers, everything I have today is given by him; Everyone can't stand the magnifying glass, Lao Zheng has many shortcomings, but his generosity and support to me, you and Mr. Xue really can't give me; What's more, you are different from Lao Zheng, his mistress must be more than me, even he himself was someone's lover when he was young, and he treats me differently than you treat me, you are really good to me, although you are a little arrogant, sometimes very domineering, but in general, you can do everything you can to help me...... Perhaps only by comparing can we find the shining point in someone's person. ”
Yang Hong listened quietly, since he met Lu Xinyu until now, it is the first time to be a loyal listener. Thinking about Lu Xinyu repeatedly put forward his own questions, although it was biased, but on the whole, Yang Hong was quite touched, and her criticism at this time also had her reason, she was arrogant, blindly thinking that others should accept their gifts unconditionally, rather than objectively analyzing whether the recipient needs or ways and means. Lu Xinyu's words made Yang Hong review his previous past, and it seemed that he really didn't have the heart to understand what Lu Xinyu needed, a smile, a companionship, a caring hug, a sincere look, and a ...... To miss is to miss, and now there is no chance to go back to the past, and it is not certain whether you will go to another world or another person after dying again.
Yang Hong didn't know how to make up for many uncertain factors, and he suddenly remembered Lu Xinyu's family: "Does uncle and aunt know about you?" Lu Xinyu asked rhetorically: "If it were you, would you say it?" Yang Hong then asked, "Lao Zheng forced you?" Or are I holding you at risk of my life or the future of Sheng Guang Media? Lu Xinyu smiled: "You also take yourself too seriously, right?" Seeing that Yang Hong didn't speak, he continued: "Overall, I still want to thank you." From your point of view, you are not wrong, but I just need the opportunity, but unfortunately the opportunity needs to be exchanged for love, to get the same, you must give up the other, you can't be too greedy! I can only say sorry to you, maybe I don't deserve your pity now, I'm no longer the same me I used to be, find someone who loves you again; Be kind to her and to yourself, and we'll see you again in the future. Believe it or not, I'm going to say that I'm not going to let you and your friends get hurt, that's the only thing I can do right now. Yang Hong sat weakly on the sofa, Lu Xinyu's honesty made him understand that it was too late to say anything, but he still asked the last question: "Have you ever loved me?" Lu Xinyu picked up the satchel and walked to the door, turned around and said softly: "Loved." ”
