[046] All the way to the night
"Now you know what I'm thinking." Xu Chen's face was calm, and his tone was calm, "What about you?" What do you think of me? ”
"I forgot."
"I'm asking you what you think at the moment."
"For me, you're a colleague I've known for a short time."
"If it's just a colleague, why would you avoid me?"
I couldn't help but be shocked. Because of the same workplace, Xu Chen and I can meet almost all the time, and when I first found out from my diary that I was actually secretly in love with him, I began to avoid all kinds of unnatural avoidances, and these avoidances have become proof that I have a ghost.
He was closing in on me.
"Xu Chen, Xiao Yu is your lover. You're all married. ”
"I can explain that."
Hearing this, I glared at him awe-inspiringly: "Why did you suddenly say such things to me?" ”
Xu Chen whispered: "I'm afraid it's too late." ”
At this point, I stumbled on my heel and almost fell.
"Star ......," Xu Chen shouted and raised his hand to help me. I raised my hand to stop him from approaching, and my other hand clasped the door frame, barely holding my body.
"Don't move!" I yelled a little out of control.
Xu Chen froze in response. After a long silence, I lowered my voice: "You go back first, I want to walk around." ”
With that, I turned and walked out of the building, like a ghost blending into the crowd of people scurrying back and forth. I was a shriveled and tattered swimming ring that had been picked by the tip of a needle, and my hands were trembling slightly. After wandering aimlessly for a long time, I finally got tired, and when I saw that there was a park by the roadside, I turned in through the entrance to find a place where no one could rest.
This is a heritage park. I followed the path all the way up to the old city walls. Hundreds of years ago, the prosperous capital is now only a small section of the ruins, and the bluestone walls are hidden among the trees, becoming an unremarkable narrow stone road. I walked through the trees on both sides of the wall, until I reached the point where I found a stone and sat down. I should be grateful that this little bit of desolation has been preserved in this little city for me to hang on to my hasty fate.
Crush is shameful and unclean.
The person in the diary, because he couldn't control his emotional panic and uneasiness, was repeatedly stung by his secret thoughts every day. I wanted to cry for the person in my diary, but I couldn't squeeze out a tear.
The workplace is like a battlefield. My battlefield is to carefully maintain the clear distinction between me and Xu Chen.
During the flower shop's lunch break, when I saw him walking towards me, I immediately got up: "Everyone, I won't have lunch together if I have something to do." "Evacuate quickly. I passed him without squinting, refusing to look him in the eye and, of course, any message he supplied.
Because of my finger injury, my working life has been taken care of these days.
However, among these cares, Xu Chen's care is particularly distinctive and eye-catching.
When I forgot to take my medicine, he took the initiative to bring warm water to remind me and supervise me to take it. He calmly confiscated the spicy snacks on my table and supplemented them with fresh red dates and mild snacks.
He completely ignored the stunned people around him, and every move was extremely calm.
In the eyes of everyone's gossip, I finally couldn't help it.
"Xu Chen. Can you borrow me some time? "I asked him to talk. Xu Chen was stunned for a moment, and then nodded. So, we found a secluded place for a solemn interview.
"I'm finally not air." He laughed to himself.
"Xu Chen, you don't have to do this, my injury is my own doing, it's none of your business."
He didn't answer.
I continued to be polite: "Xu Chen, I will keep in mind my identity, Lu Zhenyu is my sister, you are my brother-in-law, and I am your sister." I will abide by the principles of human ethics. So, in the field of work, please completely and completely ignore my existence. All right? ”
Xu Chen smiled sadly: "Are you trying to break up with me?" ”
"Whatever happened in the past, let it be quietly turned over the pages of the past. We're adults, and it wouldn't be like adults if we still played the game of fishing in troubled waters. ”
"If you're such a neat and handsome adult. Then why do you still wear our necklaces? Xu Chen asked.
I jerked the necklace in my collar.
This chain ...... What does it mean?
I clung to the idea of cutting through the mess: "When I was in the hospital, it soothed my long blank period. Whatever it used to represent, it is now my talisman, a talisman that proves that 'I am alive'. ”
Xu Chen gave me a pale smile, and he said in a low and mournful voice, "Xingxing, I'm sick. If, I mean, I'm going to die soon, are you going to be so cruel to me? ”
Time froze.
After a long time, I suddenly became angry: "Xu Chen! What nonsense are you talking about! ”
It was as if someone had opened my heavenly spirit cover with a knife, so that I could get a glimpse of the elusiveness of life, and clearly and completely feel the malice of fate.
Tears welled up in my eyes.
And Xu Chen could still keep smiling: "Don't worry, I'm not hopeless." ”
It's ridiculous!
It's ridiculous!
It's so damning!
I scavenged the word curse fate.
"Why is this happening, what's wrong?"
I buried my head in the crook of my arm and said to Ye Chun, who was sitting opposite me.
That train called "Destiny" roared past and would not stop for anyone. The people who were thrown off sprinkled on the platform with powerlessness, amazement, and despair.
The black coffee in front of him had already cooled, and there was a circle of strong black coffee stains on the wall of the cup. The café was full of melody and sounded like a feeble cry.
Ye Chun silently held my hand.
And Xiao Yu, what should she do?
I had a splitting headache and wailed, "How should I tell Xiao Yu......"
As soon as I finished speaking, the whole person immediately shook as if he had been electrocuted. Because I saw that in the building opposite, Xiao Yu and Lin Xuanyan were sitting opposite each other drinking tea.
How did the two of them end up together?
I rubbed my eyes vigorously, and finally I couldn't be sure, so I could only ask for help: "Ye Chun, look, is that Xiao Yu?" ”
Ye Chun followed my gaze, and she was also stunned.
I immediately took out my mobile phone and dialed Xiao Yu's number. Sure enough, the suspected little feather on the other side took out her mobile phone, she looked at the phone and thought for a moment, and then connected it.
Without beating around the bush, I directed: "Xiao Yu." Where are you now? ”
"Sister...... Of course I'm still in Hangzhou. Her answer was smooth and concise.
"Haven't you come back yet?"
"Well, not yet. Is there something wrong with my sister? I've been so busy lately that I haven't been on the phone with my sister. Is my sister okay? ”
"When are you coming back?"
"There may be a few more days to go, and the work at hand is not yet done."
I held my heartbeat and took a deep breath, "Can you tell me when you come back?" ”
"Of course! I haven't forgotten the agreement with my sister that we will go shopping together. I'm looking forward to it. ”
She said every word and every sentence with dignity and perfection. It was so perfect that I felt a chill in the sun.
Xiao Yu on the phone suddenly lowered her voice: "I'm sorry sister, I still have some things to deal with, I'll hang up first, and I'll call you back later." ”
As soon as the voice fell, the suspected subject over there hung up the phone and continued to talk and laugh with Lin Xuanyan. There was a flustered rush from the phone in my hand, and I thought I heard a heartbroken sound.
After a while, Xiao Yu got up and left first. Lin Xuanyan waited in her seat for a while, and then prepared to leave. They didn't notice that Ye Chun and I were watching them not far from the opposite side. Ye Chun and I immediately chased after him and caught Lin Xuanyan in the corridor.
"Lin Xuanyan."
The person who was shouted turned around, and when she saw me and Ye Chun standing behind her, a trace of panic slipped across her face, but it quickly subsided.
I stepped forward: "Why do you want to see Xiao Yu alone and don't want us to know?" ”
Lin Xuanyan's face changed, and she quickly changed her sneer: "Ah, so you saw it." You are so hypocritical, you obviously saw it, and you deliberately called to inquire, if Lu Zhenyu knew that her sister didn't give her this trust, what would she think. ”
"Don't be verbose."
"That's right, Lu Zhenyu has been back a long time ago, she just doesn't see you. Curious why Lu Zhenyu is messing around with me? Ask yourself this. Because you snatched Xu Chen, how did you let her face you. ”
"How did I snatch ......?"
I shut up for a moment, and there was no point in arguing with her.
"Hehehe." Lin Xuanyan smiled, "You want to say how did you rob Xu Chen?" You are really good at pretending, ah, Ye Chun is also there, you can ask her for verification now. You can ask him, does Xu Chen like you? Are you pretending not to like him? You just pretend you don't like it and push him into your sister's arms? Your pretended generosity is the culprit who harmed your sister. If you want me to say, you're the culprit. It's all your fault. ”
I snorted coldly: "You don't sow discord." ”
Ye Chun raised his eyebrows and began to fight back violently: "Lin Xuanyan, don't be a moral model, you don't have to be arrogant, you don't have a sour mouth when you make up stories all day long." Do you think I don't know the twists and turns in your heart, and you will think about Xiao Yu? Laughing to death. Don't you think that if Xu Chen and Xingxing can become a couple, the position next to Lu Zhaochuan will naturally be vacant, and you can take advantage of the void. It's so funny, Ritsu Zhaochuan's girlfriend is not a position, you can succeed if you apply. I don't want to think about it, can Lu Zhaochuan take a fancy to you? ”
Lin Xuanyan bit her lower lip tightly, her face turned pale, and her chest rose and fell back and forth.
She looked at us twice, and her breath paused: "I don't quarrel with you." Right and wrong, Lu Zhenyu knows it in his own heart! After speaking, Lin Xuanyan walked past us and walked away quickly.
Ye Chun said something to me, and I saw her lips open and closed, but I couldn't hear the sound. In the end, Ye Chun shook me vigorously. Finally, the spirit returns at the same time as the sound.
Ye Chun stretched his hand and shook it back and forth in front of my eyes: "What are you thinking, I shouted at you several times, but you didn't pay attention to me." ”
"I just suddenly felt that although I had a pair of eyes, it was a pity that I had been living in the dark."
