Chapter 32: Is There a Shortcut in Life?
I was stunned and looked at Xiyue, who couldn't walk straight, angry and funny, I kindly persuaded her not to drink, but she mistakenly thought that I wanted to sleep with her.
Alas, what is this!
"Hey, why don't you leave!" Seeing that I didn't follow her, she turned around and shouted at me.
"You think of me so badly, do I dare to go with you?"
"Alas, I can't walk, this place ...... How uneven! So saying, she sat down on the ground.
To be precise, it was lying on the ground, and in an extremely awkward position.
Seeing her lying on the ground like this, I really can't connect with that Xiyue during the day, it's so funny.
I took out my phone and secretly filmed her before walking over to her.
"Get up, the ground is very flat, and you are drunk."
"I'm not drunk, you're drunk."
"Okay, okay, you're right."
I helped her to walk on the walking path of Beibin Road, and Xiyue almost pressed the weight of her whole body on me, she was really drunk.
But I didn't know where she lived, and I wouldn't take her back to mine, so I had to take her to the river to blow the wind and try to sober her up.
On the Yangtze River in the middle of the night, there are very few people.
The cool breeze was wrapped in a damp breath, and the air was mixed with a faint smell of dampness.
On the surface of the river, the moonlight fell a layer of clear light, and with the flow of water waves, it shone with a silvery light
With my shoes in one hand and Xiyue in the other, I walked slowly along the bank of the tide and walked slowly towards the depths.
The deep and shallow footprints left on the beach were quickly washed away by the tide.
On a shore where there were almost no people in sight, I found a reef.
As soon as I sat down, Xiyue shouted at me, "Where's the wine?" Bring the wine! ”
"Still drinking!"
"Why am I coming out with you if you don't drink? Do you think I'm going to have a room with you? ”
As she spoke, she forcibly snatched the bottle of wine from my pocket and said to me, "If you don't drink it, you can leave, don't get in my way here." ”
"Come, drink."
Xiyue happily touched the bottle with me.
The sound of the glass of the wine bottles colliding against each other is particularly crisp in the quiet night, and the emptiness in front of you suddenly brightens people's minds.
Here, there is no longer a sad and oppressive atmosphere.
There is no ambiguous taste born because of the dim lighting and shared secrets.
Xiyue under the moonlight, the heavy grief can no longer be seen on a clear face, but there is still a touch of sadness.
"You know, today is the day of our planned engagement." She had been silent, and suddenly spoke.
I was stunned for a moment, although I could feel that she had something on her mind, but I didn't expect it to be like this!
Looks like she was dumped!
I didn't speak, not wanting to disturb her.
Because she was just talking to herself, immersed in her own world, and once I interjected, it would definitely make her sober up and not continue.
"From the very beginning, he has been constantly ...... Begging, so to speak. Xiyue paused and took another sip of wine.
I looked at her, still not speaking.
"I was sad to see the way he looked. Sadly, he gave up his self-esteem not because he loved me, but for the sake of a shortcut in his life. ”
She looked at the night scene on the other side of the Yangtze River with a loss, and a hint of self-deprecation rose at the corner of her mouth: "Do you say that there is really a shortcut in life?" ”
Seeing that I didn't speak, she suddenly touched me with her arm: "What do you ask?" ”
"When...... Of course. Only then did I react violently and replied without thinking.
"Huh? You think so too? She tilted her head to look at me, her eyes showing deep disappointment.
"Yes, but that's only on the surface. Actually......"
I paused and said, "The shortcut we chose might give us something, but it definitely came at the cost of losing more. In other words, in the end, the gains outweigh the losses. ”
"Hmm." She nodded, her voice choking.
Without a word, I picked up the bottle and ran into her again.
"Drink." Xiyue said heroically.
I know she must be sad, otherwise how would she go to a bar to drink alone, and still drink like this?
I could only pale and comfort: "Maybe everyone's life has many unsatisfactory places." ”
"Hehe, feelings! It's a hoax, and I'm an undercover agent at best. She craned her neck and smiled at the sky.
I suddenly didn't know what to say, but I felt that I should say something to match her feelings.
"Okay, let's not talk about it, I'm tired." Xiyue wiped her eyes, trying to change her emotions.
"So the person you went to Mount Everest to find that day was your boyfriend?" I took the opportunity to ask.
If she answered yes, then I know what's going on.
It's a pity that she still didn't say anything, just glanced at me and said, "You can either drink with me here, or you can go by yourself." ”
I didn't ask anything more, she didn't want to uncover her scars, so why should I bother to uncover her sore spots?
For a moment, we were all silent, and it was quiet all around, except for the river lapping against the shore again and again, and the occasional sound of the wind blowing through the fine sand.
"Hey! There's a quick way to get people in a good mood, why don't you give it a try? "It occurred to me an idea that shattered the silence of death.
"What?"
I pointed to the river below the reef and said, "Jump down from here, when you are immersed in the water, let the water slowly engulf your body, and your consciousness will be eaten away little by little, and when your soul is detached, you can feel the gradual departure of life, farther and farther away...... Then you will be able to abandon all the distractions of the world, let go of all the pain in your heart, and never worry about anything again."
I was actually just talking nonsense, just trying to find a topic, but Xiyue asked seriously, "Are you serious?" ”
"Uh......" I was overwhelmed right now.
Xiyue suddenly stood up, and I hurriedly called out to her, "You can't really jump, right?" ”
"Am I going to die?"
I swallowed my saliva and knew that I was joking too much, so I quickly said: "Although this is the shore, it is definitely dangerous for people who can't swim, and you still ......"
Before I finished speaking, I saw her leap for life, and then "poof".
At that moment, my brain had a brief short circuit, and then it reacted violently.
This girl really jumped down!
