Chapter 144: Choice
After leaving the cafe, I looked around and didn't see Jiang Jingwen's figure, but the two cups in the cafe told me that everything I just did was not a dream. I raised my head and tried my best to control my emotions, but the collapse always came suddenly.
I walked to a shaded stairs weakly. I threw the flyer in my hand on the ground and sat on it. These things were now just a piece of waste paper. I raised my hand with difficulty and took out a cigarette from my clothes and lit it for myself, looking at the smiles on the people on the street. Why can they be so happy? Is it really not a sad thing to find them?
Why do I have to bear these sins that come from the sky? I wiped my face helplessly.
Just when I was feeling depressed and worried, Su Qin suddenly came over and sat next to me: "What's wrong? She was frowning."
"Ah, it's okay." I sat up and said as if no one was around. Looking at Su Qin, I didn't dare to look her in the eyes. I haven't figured out what to say about dissuading her yet, so I had to find another opportunity to tell her. As for now, I just pretend that nothing happened.
"I said it's okay. I looked for you for a while and found out that you were hiding here and smoking. What's wrong?"
"It's so good... By the way, I saw that there were a lot of people on the scene, so what's going on?" I smiled and changed the subject directly.
Su Qinshen held her cheeks and gave me helplessly: "Tsk, you like to say or not, I won't force you..."
I could only shake my head without help. I couldn't say that I just met your mother.
"The effect of issuing orders is really good. It attracted a lot of people to watch after a while. They are all customers looking forward to us opening the store soon. Mu Ming, you are right, and the number of people is indeed coming." Su Qin happily opened her hand and said to me in a relaxed mood.
But I was not happy at all. The more she talked about the store’s expectations, the more I felt that I was as hateful as a bastard. So I couldn’t cater to Su Qin’s joy.
When I returned to the store, Su Qin said it just now. She talked to the store for a lot of people, and most of them expressed their expectation. I felt that many eyes were interrogating me like dazzling searchlights. I was in a daze and wanted to escape this place. I clearly didn't do anything wrong, so how could I feel guilty when facing them?
Lin Nuan and Liang Luo had already left at any time, and only Su Qin and I were left at the scene. I didn't want to say too much for a moment, so I found a corner to smoke alone.
Su Qin finally comforted a group of people and returned to the store. She sighed and sat down next to me, then put her head on her face without saying a word. Despite this, I couldn't help but feel a little unnatural, so I said lightly: "What's wrong with you?"
"I'm fine," Su Qin shook her head, and before I could speak, she said first: "It's just that you are unhappy, so I'll just be unhappy. If you ask you, you won't say anything, just stay with you."
I looked at her with a moving expression, and my heart was filled with turmoil, but the calm face of Jiang Jingwen flashed in front of me, and the flames suddenly faded out. Yes, I feel ashamed of her.
I don't know what to say, but in fact, what's the difference between me and a mute facing her today? My life

There is a lack of struggle in the middle, so I put this struggle on Su Qin. But I thought it would be for her sake, and now it makes me feel that I have noticed my selfishness.
In the past, I have never felt ashamed. But on the other hand, my sincere efforts to the store have made me lose myself, so I deceived myself to take action to cover up my upset mood. But this time it doesn't work, I have to look directly at my heart.
Su Qin was close to me and suddenly rested her head on my shoulder. I instantly stiffened for a moment, and then gradually relaxed myself.
Su Qin laughed: "I think I can't live without you all the time."
I took a breath, and then I was afraid that she would say something impulsive, so I quickly interrupted her: "Don't talk nonsense."
"Really, Mu Ming, I'm very happy now, happier than ever."
I couldn't help but feel funny: "Then your pursuit is too low."
"It doesn't matter what you said." She supported the panel with her hand and stretched her head toward the sky outside: "I feel that I have found the meaning of life anyway. Besides, I feel that you have not found the motivation to live for yourself, so what qualifications do you have to say to me?"
Su Qin pouted in disgust.
I couldn't help but be speechless, wanting to say a few words to refute her, but when I thought that what Su Qin said was just a true portrayal of life, I seemed hypocritical when I said it again. So thousands of words could only turn into the movements in my hand. I leaned over and put out the cigarette butts and said indifferently: "You are right. I really don't understand the meaning of my life now. Tmd doesn't even have a mortgage or a car loan buddy."
This is the most uncomfortable thing for me. Although I despise Qi Yang with these invisible pressures on a daily basis, I know that I am not even qualified to be squeezed, but despite this, I have suffered from other things.
Su Qin looked at me, and suddenly I stopped my hand, and she said softly: "It's meaningless to live, but it is precisely because we need to survive that we can find interesting things and souls in nature, just like you helped me find myself, and I also found you in the crowd."
There was a silence in the air. I couldn't control myself several times and wanted to hug Su Qin, but I stopped my impulse because I knew that I had no reason to change her kindness at this moment.
Today I didn’t have much time to take care of Su Qin, and she took my mood in her eyes, so Su Qin suddenly joined me and said to me: “Let’s go out and have a walk.”
"Yeah, where to go?"
"It's okay to go anywhere, just don't stay here anyway." After Su Qin said that, she grabbed my arm and ran outside despite my opposition. At this moment, I saw her body emitting a light that was more loving than me. Before I knew it, my mood also improved.
I walked through the crowds, passed the hawking sounds on the streets, and admired the chattering at the temple fairs. This was a variety of things I had never come into contact with before. I also ate many things I had never tasted before, including sweet and sour candied haws and milky ice cream. The delicious food was greedy and crying the children next to me.
Su Qin and I walked through a block, crossed the scenic spots and monuments with a strong sense of breath, and there were strings of colorful lanterns woven with ropes, until the moon rose and until the stars flashed. In the end, I

We were tired and stopped on a quiet road.
I bought a few cans of beer in the convenience store, found a bench and sat on it. Su Qin hugged me without hesitation and looked at me on the side. She looked happy: "Mu Ming, at this moment I understand one thing. Whether you like me or don't like me, I can only choose you because I like you, or it is deeper than I like it, that is love."
I took a sip of cigarette, squinting my eyes, and smiled: "Is that so, if I had an extra flight ticket to the blue sky now, would you follow me?"
She raised her head and said, "I will follow you because I am willing to offer my sincerity for my love and let you take it anywhere." Then she said, "But it won't work now. Wait for when the store no longer needs me, I will come to you as scheduled."
The more Su Qin said this, the less I dared to uncover the pain that made her feel unforgettable. So I could only drink wine in big mouthfuls, hoping to get drunk like this and rot everything in my stomach. But countless layers of fantasy are fantasies after all, just like no matter how much wine I drink, it cannot bury the layer where I am hiding my worries.
I lit a cigarette for myself, and I looked up inadvertently, lowered my head again, and reached out to gently stroke Su Qin's hair for the first time. I whispered: "If one day you find out that I have deceived you on an important thing...what would you do?"
"What's the matter?"
"It's very important, something unforgivable."
Su Qin didn't say anything, maybe she didn't expect me to ask such a question. I clearly felt that she grabbed my arm with force. I knew this question was a bit too much. Just as I was changing the subject, Su Qin suddenly said: "Maybe I will be hostile to you. Although I know this is more sad, I still want to tell you that no matter how powerful I become... you are always my weakness."
She hugged me tightly: "Mu Ming, if I were a flower, then I hope you held me in my hand, and then I will tell you a whole fairy tale, and the first smile I see every day is because of me... This is not my nonsense. If I believe in the arrangement of fate, then all this is the fate destined by God. If I don't believe in fate, I can also attribute everything to occasionality."
Su Qin told me her unreservedness, but how should I answer her affection? This time I stood at the intersection of life. When I went to the left, I hesitated, did not understand the truth, and when I went to the right, I couldn’t see the unknown factors clearly. However, there was no traffic light at the intersection of life, and I didn’t want to give up any opportunity.
Su Qin's huge love wrapped me up, and at this time I was lost and lost as I was just now. I was struggling and my mind was in a mess. My soul was divided into two people fighting. On the one hand, I supported Su Qin to open the store, but my rationality no longer allowed me to continue to make this woman suffer.
My impulse prevailed, and it told me to ignore the defeated men who were beaten by it and continue to help the store. But the momentary impulse always ended, and when I realized that the result was not satisfactory, I had already made a selfish decision.
I don’t want Su Qin to be so blessed. I want her to be the same as herself. She should have a better life, rather than spending all her energy on the store.
