【032】Peel the onion

I made up my mind and mustered up the courage to open the diary—

One:

March 5th

Today I tried to make durian mille-feuille. Finally it worked!

I tried it several times before and failed, either the dough was too hard or there was too much durian.

This time, though, the ratio of flour and durian is just right.

Xiao Yu likes it very much.

Xu Chen likes it too.

Again:

April 3rd

Unexpectedly, Xu Chen and I would have a quarrel one day.

"You are strong, brave and independent," he said. So, you don't need to be taken care of by others, you can live well on your own. ”

I am strong, brave and independent.

So, I can't keep him.

And one more:

April 16:

The man came again to ask for money. Obviously, he used us as an infinite number of ATMs.

However, that money is my tuition fee for Xiao Yu and me, and I will never let him take the money.

I skimmed through a few pages, and I couldn't read anymore. I closed my journal and patted my chest, trying to regulate my breathing. "Is this really what I wrote?" I couldn't help but wonder.

Who is "she"? Every piece she writes is such scattered short sentences, even in her diary, "she" is still suppressed and restrained. There are no details at all, and there are few feelings, and it is more like a trip record than a diary.

I can't read it.

However, how could "she", who wrote the diary, think that one day, she would completely forget about herself, and she needed to use the diary to compare and prove the present.

Zhang Jifan's secretary, Xiao Ye, seems to have some kind of unspeakable physiological aversion to me.

She's smart, quick-witted, and organized. In this matter against me, her ingenuity is even more vivid. Always come up with all sorts of tricks to deal with me.

I really don't know where I offended her. In the end, she reluctantly attributed her dislike to the fact that she was in opposition.

At this moment, she intervened and leaned on the edge of the table next to her, looking back and forth at me with an inquiring gaze, and said in a strange tone: "You and Xu Chen, the relationship between the two of you is very unusual." ”

I raised an eyebrow and glanced at her.

She usually likes to find fault with me, and I also turn a blind eye. I didn't expect Xu Chen to be involved today.

I subconsciously put up a thorn.

"I understand that a man who is golden, good-looking, and good-tempered is a high-quality model. There are few people in the country who fully meet the above conditions, and it is difficult for women to be tempted by such dazzling men, but no matter how tempted they are, they must know how to restrain themselves. No matter how good a man is, as long as he has the master, he can't rob it, but he must be moral. You say, don't you? ”

"Please have something to say."

"Pull it up! Everyone said that Xu Chen came to our flower shop for you to sit as a guest, just pass a few words and you drag it like this, in case, it is rumored that you are a relative of the boss's family, don't you want to look at people with your nostrils facing the sky! ”

"You've worked so hard to write a story for me outside of work, and it's so detailed." I applauded her.

"You ......" She didn't think I would fight back, and she couldn't react for a while, her face flushed, and she was angry.

I continued: "This is a flower shop, not a flower garden, tighten your spout and don't spray pesticides everywhere. You're going to be very cute. ”

She sneered: "Heh, it's worthy of a parachute, and your temper is big." ”

I snapped the case: "Who do you say is the parachute!" ”

Our corner has completely degenerated into a battlefield full of gunpowder smoke and blood. Verbal swords, you come and go, I will never stop.

"Xiaoye, what are you doing!"

A shout-out interrupted us.

I turned around and saw Zhang Jifan and Xu Chen standing not far away.

I don't know how much they listened.

Just now, she was still dancing her teeth and claws, as if she was about to disassemble and devour the small leaves that I dismantled and devoured and quickly softened into mud, and her tone became very soft: "I didn't do anything, I'll just talk to Xiao Mu and ......."

"You come with me!" Zhang Jifan looked very angry.

After Zhang Jifan and Xu Chen apologized, they took Xiao Ye away.

After the two left, Xu Chen stayed where he was, and we looked at each other. "I'm sorry." We both spoke in unison. Quickly fell silent again. Xu Chen bowed at me, then turned around and left.

"Coffee ...... Drink? I caught up with his back.

At my invitation, we sat in a coffee house next to the flower shop.

Ever since I was told that I was a "road consultant", I deliberately avoided having direct contact with Xu Chen. I thought I was doing the right thing. But my deliberateness caused him trouble. In the eyes of some people with ulterior motives, avoiding is equivalent to having ghosts, and the degree of polite alienation represents the depth of reluctance, and the more embarrassing it is, the more depraved.

Before the conversation, I bowed deeply to him: "I'm sorry! Sorry for messing around with your wedding before! ”

He was stunned, raised his hand and waved.

"Is Lu Zhenyu okay? She seemed to have misunderstood something that day......"

After that day, Lu Zhenyu and I couldn't get in touch. I don't mind how she looks at the end.

"Don't worry. I'll explain it to her. Xu Chen replied quickly.

"You," he mused, squeezing the spoon into the cup and spinning it slowly as I waited with bated breath. “…… Do you think of anything? ”

I poured half a cup of bitter black coffee on my head, and the bitterness quickly took over my mouth. I winced my eyebrows. I immediately regretted that I shouldn't have blindly tried the new model. "Nope." I replied, curious, "You know I can't remember the past?" ”

Xu Chen nodded.

"Ritsu Zhaochuan told me." He beckoned the waiter for another piece of milk. The waiter immediately walked to the bar.

He finally spoke again, "Ritsu Zhaochuan told me that you refuse to think about the past, so let me not disturb you." ”

"I'm trying to accept my 'new' identity......"

It's really strange, it doesn't seem to be too difficult to accept Lu Zhenyu as my sister. I accepted it with almost no struggle. However, it was not as easy as expected to accept that she was her sister.

Even if the logic coincides, there is a blood certificate to prove it. But my heart hasn't quite agreed.

"I'll admit, I'm avoiding you, but I don't mean to hate you. I'm just, for a moment, not able to fully adapt—"

I'm secretly in love with you.

He smiled softly and nodded in understanding.

At this time, the waiter had already delivered the milk, and he took the milk cup and took the initiative to add milk to my cup. I raised my glass and tasted it, and the creamy milk smoothed the coffee without overpowering the aroma of the coffee. I was amazed at how skillful he was.

"You have a good relationship with Ritsu Zhaochuan." This is not a question.

"We're friends."

"It's strange that you two can become friends."

He and Ritsu Zhaochuan are one mild and the other violent.

It seems that two trains that are running in opposite directions unexpectedly intersect.

Xu Chen was slightly stunned.

"Ritsu Zhaochuan is super difficult to get along with. It's unpredictable and capricious, and he can't figure out what he's thinking. I explained, carefully picking out the words, "This guy is a pervert!" ”

Xu Chen smiled: "You said the same before. ”

"It means that the old man is old, and he has not grown or progressed a little?" I couldn't help but admonish, "Don't make friends with him." ”

Xu Chen smiled.

I looked at the time, and the lunch break was coming to an end.

I got up: "It's time, let's go back." ”

Xu Chen raised the coffee cup in his hand to me: "You go back first, I'll finish drinking before leaving." ”

"Oh." I grabbed my cup of coffee and walked out. Halfway through, I suddenly remembered that I had left my coin purse on my seat. Fortunately, Xu Chen is still there, and I want to go back and get it.

Xu Chen turned his back to me and was looking at something. When he saw me returning, he immediately hid his hand under the belly of the table, and in his hurry, he accidentally knocked over the coffee cup, which was fortunately empty.

I apologized, picked up the coin purse that had fallen on the edge of my seat, said "goodbye" to him again, and quickly walked out.

I rushed out into the street in one go.

Today, the sun is blazing, and it seems to beep, and the sound seems to come out of my body.

I reached out and hooked the chain around my neck and pulled out the pendant.

A rounded five-pointed star.

It's still there.

Xu Chen hid too late.

I saw what he was holding in his hand.

It was the same star-shaped photo box as the one I had in my hand, and even the photos in it were exactly the same. Is his one and mine the same thing?

Su Weining once said to me before: "The past is not good, let's not go over." "Now, I smell something ominous.

I was holding an onion called the past, and even though I knew I was going to cry, I had to peel it off one by one......

I returned to work in a distraught, and as soon as I entered the door, I saw Lin Xuanyan sitting on the sofa in the living area. When she saw me, she pouted and greeted me warmly: "Selangor! Long time no see! I miss you, do you want me? ”

I was stunned. I could not have imagined that after our complete breakup, she would still be able to come to me without any psychological burden, and that she would be so relaxed and calm. Perhaps, she is the one with amnesia.

I took off her arm around my neck: "Something to say directly." ”

"Congratulations." She looked at me meaningfully.

I don't understand. "Congratulations on what?"

"Oops," a smile slowly bloomed on her lips, she leaned into my ear and whispered: "Lu Zhenyu went back to Hangzhou yesterday, Xu Chen and Lu Zhenyu are officially separated, the next step, you just need to hold Xu Chen tightly!" You're awesome! ”

I looked at her in disbelief, and at this moment, her face was intertwined with inexplicable excitement and pride.

"Who the hell are you?"

"Can we stop being so rusty, we're good friends, I just want to help you?"

"Help me? Is it using me to get close to Ritsu Zhaochuan to help me? Or trick me into breaking into Xu Chen and Lu Zhenyu's wedding scene to help me? Lin Xuanyan, I can't afford your concern. I grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her to the door, which I pushed open and pushed her out, "Also, we're not friends, so please stay away from me from now on." ”

She staggered down the stairs, stood still, and stared at me, "What are you pretending!" ”

A smile floated on her face, revealing a cruel light.

"You forgot, I didn't. I saw it with my own eyes, and you jumped into the river. Lu Sanshang, you are not missing, you are committing suicide. ”
