Lianzhou

Go back to two hours ago.

He Xin received a call from Cheng Qiu at eight o'clock. The female voice on the other end of the phone sounded a little vague, and she had drunk a lot of wine. She called He Xin's name twice on the phone, and then paused for a while. Finally, he sniffed and seemed to start crying softly.

He Xin hadn't seen anyone cry before, so he seemed a little flustered at this moment, so he had to ask her where she was now, and after getting the address, he hung up the phone and left the house. After he finished picking up the person, he sent him back to his residence before returning to his own home It was past nine o'clock, and as soon as he entered the house, the lights in the house were turned off. However, he remembered that he left in a hurry and did not turn off the lights when he left.

Could it be that Gu Yi is here?

After thinking about it, he pressed the switch at hand, and the light filled the whole space in a second, and Gu Yi was sitting on the sofa on the right side of his house, looking at the door.

"It's so late, did someone send it back?"

He Xin was stunned after hearing this: "How do you know..."

Gu Yi unlocked the phone and raised the phone with the bright screen in his hand, with a half-smile on his face: "You still need to come back and tell me about this? Someone can't wait to report to me."

He Xin stood a little far away and couldn't see clearly, so he took a few steps forward, and finally saw the name of the sender at the top of the text message interface.

It's Cheng Qiu.

He Xin didn't have time to think about it, he panicked for a moment, he took a step forward and hurriedly wanted to explain: "This...is not Yiyi as you think, I can explain..."

"Why do you want to explain?" Gu Yi interrupted him, but he was not harsh, "It is only a misunderstanding that needs an explanation. I know that you just kindly picked up a drunk opposite sex and went home to settle down. I just went home, is my understanding wrong?"

He Xin wanted to speak, but for a moment he didn't know what to say, because as Gu Yi said, he had nothing to explain.

"No matter what her intentions are, if I mess up and question you sternly because of such a small provocation, then the two of us will not go to the seventh year." Gu Yi took a deep breath, his eyes suddenly became a little dull , "But He Xin, I won't talk to you about her problems today, I need to talk to you about our problems."

After Gu Yi finished speaking, he stood up, and He Xin raised his gaze. The two looked at each other for a long time, and finally He Xin spoke, his voice sounding a little rough: "You... want to talk to me about something. What?"

Gu Yi looked straight into He Xin's eyes without any hesitation. She crossed her arms, forming a defensive posture, and her tone suddenly became very soft: "Do you remember why we had a cold war last time?"

He Xin thought for a while: "The last time we had a cold war was at the end of March. A college classmate and I went to a bar to drink and took a group photo..." He paused, then continued, "That college classmate is a woman, and the college classmate Confess to me."

"Then do you think you are wrong?"

"Well, there is a mistake. I didn't have a deep friendship with that person, and she had a crush on me before. I shouldn't go out drinking alone with her at night..."

"No, you're right."

He Xin blinked in surprise, not knowing what Gu Yi wanted to express.

"You are not wrong in this matter. You reunited with a college classmate after a long absence. Although you didn't have much friendship before, because you have known each other before, you can't just brush off your face when the other party proposes an invitation. Most of the communication between adults is superficial. Contacts are not as clear-cut as love and hate on campus, and you have to be decent in face, and you can't easily make people look bad, you just agreed to an ordinary invitation without any other thoughts, right?"

He Xin listened in a daze, then nodded again.

"Then it's the same this time."

He Xin was about to nod again, but Gu Yi suddenly changed his tone and continued: "But I hope you can forget about all these high-sounding things."

This was said in twists and turns, and He Xin's mind obviously couldn't understand it.

"Yes, I treat you well, that's my pleasure, you just have to bear it with peace of mind, you don't have to pay me back, but He Xin, what you did is unreasonable, you can't slap me in the face like this, after so many years, Why can't you get rid of this bad habit." She looked very disappointed, and she didn't even bother to criticize loudly, "I used to think that you would grow up if you gave you time, and I trust you, so I will give you a chance, I It’s not that you haven’t pointed it out clearly, but have you changed it? It’s been seven years, even though I know you’re born with a lack of that muscle in your mind, and you don’t have those stupid thoughts, but I’m also greedy. I hope you can move forward, Instead of pointing to my tolerance to stand still."

He Xin suddenly panicked: "But didn't you just say that I was not wrong..."

"You are right! Many people in this world are like you. They feel that as long as they have no other thoughts, they can accept the kindness from others. Similarly, you will not be stingy with your own feelings. Responses other than love should be given as much as possible, you think it is a kind of compensation, this is not a matter of principle, but—”

"But if you want to go on with me in the future, and go for a long time, please be selfish and selfish. This is the respect you have for me in this relationship, so that we are equal and fair. Because the only person you need to be responsible for in this relationship is me, and you are the only one I am responsible for." She said that she was a little emotional at the end, but when she saw He Xin's blank expression, she suddenly felt There was a deep sense of powerlessness in my heart.

She made a decision in that split second.

He Xin saw her reaching out from her pocket to take out the key that he had handed to her with his own hands, and saw her mouth opening and closing, obviously she was still the same person, but her tone was terribly strange, he heard her say: "He Xin, have you never thought deeply about the reason why I don't want to marry you? Have you ever felt that I have nothing more to ask for? With your friendship and affection for me for seven years, It's enough for me to wag my tail and thank you so much that you're not going to marry me, is it?"

Only then did He Xin react. At that moment, his heart suddenly climbed into a huge panic, and the coldness was conveyed to his limbs and bones with his heartbeat. He seemed to have foreseen what was about to happen at that moment.

"No... no, I never thought about it that way..."

But Gu Yi interrupted him again, as if determined to punish him to the end: "Then let me tell you, a person knows that the other party has a crush on him, but this person rejects the other party sternly, and he doesn't want to destroy the relationship between the two of you." The behavior of so-called friendship between people is called erecting a memorial archway. You actually subconsciously know that the other party has sympathy for you, but you use the excuse that the two are just ordinary friends to paralyze yourself, thinking that you represent justice, and that your kindness and morality are the best in the world. One, this will not hurt the self-esteem of the other party, but also preserve your good image of being gentle, courteous and thrifty, but from the perspective of the outsider, you are just an overpowered central air conditioner. Well, it will only make people with ghosts in their hearts more and more unable to let go of you, and eventually they will have redundant delusions, thinking—he actually likes me, but he can’t be with me for various reasons. You gave others Looking forward but not being able to fulfill it, and always responding to the people who are really standing by your side, do you think you have a high style by doing this? Let me tell you, not at all, it just makes me sick."

After seven years of acquaintance, He Xin never knew that when Gu Yi was so aggressive, every sentence of cruel words hit his heart loudly and loudly, and the pain made his hands and feet almost curl up, but he found out in despair that Every sentence she said made her speechless, and she couldn't find a place to refute.

He was bad enough, he thought to himself, mockingly.

Gu Yi ignited the fuse that had been buried in her stomach for many years in one breath, and the blow was a complete blow to both sides. After speaking, her chest was still heaving violently. She took a few deep breaths to stabilize her emotions, and when she finally spoke, her voice He regained his composure, but his voice sounded a little dry:

"In the past seven years, I have given you many opportunities. I think I have talked to you about it. You will change one day, but you always think that things will cease to exist if you turn the page, and you still consume me as a matter of course. feelings. But that is my tolerance, not your difficulties. "

After she finished the last sentence, she let go of the key and dropped the key on the ground, and then slammed the door and left with the crisp jingle of the key.

"Then, and that's it." He Xin shook the wine glass in front of him, and sighed almost inaudibly.

It was almost eleven o'clock in the evening, and he and Yu Lichu were sitting in a bar chatting about life, and there was a glass of mojito in front of him, which Yu Lichu ordered for him.

The man also threatened him that if he wanted him to make a tree hole for himself, he would only be allowed to drink this cup.

Tch, He Xin pursed her lips.

There was a glass of lemonade in front of Yu Lichu, he picked it up and took a sip, then said heartlessly, "Then I'll say the same thing, you deserve it."

He Xin stared at him in a blink of an eye, and shrank back the moment he met Yu Lichu's gaze.

"You can't comfort me."

Yu Lichu rolled his eyes: "Okay, you are the whitest one in the lotus pond, independent of the world, pure and pure."

He Xin glared at him again: "I don't believe you are not like this."

Yu Lichu finally looked back at the past properly this time, his eyes were smiling and full of compassion, and he just looked at He Xin for a long time.

He Xin finally withdrew his eyes furiously: "Well, you are indeed not such a person." Then, as if thinking of something, he continued to ask, "Then what if this person is kind to you? You can do it too Do you sternly refuse?"

Yu Lichu looked at him like a fool: "So Cheng Qiu is kind to you?"

"No...no."

Yu Lichu then took another sip of lemonade, and said in a calm tone: "We must distinguish between public and private, and we must repay the debt, but if the other party consumes too much, I don't mind being ungrateful." man of."

After that, He Xin was silent for a long time.

Yu Lichu went to the bathroom on the way, but when he came back, the sky changed. He found that in just a few minutes, one of them was unattended, and when he came back, He Xin had already drunk himself on the table. Wake up.

Yu Lichu clicked his tongue and rushed forward in two or three steps. Seeing a bottle of foreign wine in He Xin's hand, he raised his head and called the waiter behind the bar, only to hear the other party innocently say, "He ordered a bottle of wine after you left. , and even named the one who should be stronger, blowing the bottle directly after taking it, and couldn't stop it, by the way, he even found time to make a phone call..."

Before the waiter finished speaking, the mobile phone in Yu Lichu's pocket rang. He picked it up and saw that it was Yan Yan, so he quickly picked it up: "Hello?"

"Are you drinking with He Xin outside?"

When Yu Lichu heard it, a row of black lines hung on his forehead instantly, and he scolded this kid in his heart for not forgetting to make friends when he was drunk. Fortunately, it wasn't Gu Yi's call back, otherwise this kid wouldn't know what to do if he died. dead.

"Hmm... Let's clean up at the one near your bookstore. Gu Yi and her... broke up with He Xin. I didn't watch one of them just now, and he got drunk. Just ignore him..."

Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, the person who was already lying on the table suddenly exploded, fell to the side and lay on Yu Lichu's body, stretched his head into the microphone and said, "Yan... hiccup... Director Yan is also here, how lively are the people..."

Yan Yan on the other end of the phone accidentally let out a laugh, and then thought that the other party was falling out of love, and it was a bit rude to smile like this, so he cleared his throat and said, "Then let me go over, Mo Ning and I just had a conversation It's over, and it's nearby, I'll go find you right away, and I'll be there in about half an hour."

After hearing this, Yu Lichu said helplessly, "That's fine, come here, and I'll persuade him again."

After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone, but when He Xin saw the phone was hung up, he suddenly slammed it back on the table as if some button had been pressed, and then there was no more movement.

Yu Lichu yelled for a long time but didn't see any response from him. After much deliberation, he settled the bill and carried him out. He was going to send him back first. He calculated the time and felt that Yan Yan should have some time to go. Come here, this period of time is enough for him to send people home and then return, and when the two meet, they can walk back along the road.

When he dragged the man back to the apartment and turned back, it was exactly half an hour later. He thought that Yan Yan would be here soon, so he dialed the phone, but after a long beep, no one answered.
