Chapter 148: Thirty, sacrifice (two in one chapter)
I don't know what those three women gave birth to shopping. Since that day, I haven't seen Dong Shuhan at the company for two days. Maybe she came that day and really asked Zhang Yao to discuss anything.
I returned to the three-point and one-line life again. If I had to ripples in this dull life like a pool of water, I could probably go to the studio every day and chat with Lin Jiayi, who was shooting video special effects.
The photo has been taken, and the Chengfeng team is progressing very quickly, which is largely due to Lin Jiayi's spirituality. Yang Fan told me more than once that I asked me to go to Lin Jiayi to do work and strive to sign a contract with Chengfeng Entertainment after graduation. I can only deal with this with a smile, because I know that Lin Jiayi hates others interfering in her life, and no one can
Both Zhang Yao and Lin Jiayi were silent about what happened between the three women that day, which confused me. But I, a big man, was embarrassed to ask, and could only pretend that I had never had anything, and then secretly guessed in my heart, beware of when Dong Shuhan would come to the company to kill someone. After all, that woman is not something that ordinary people can deal with.
At noon that day, I brought Lin Jiayi, who had just been resting, to a Western restaurant, and thanked her for helping me.
"Chen Mo, are you free tomorrow?"
"Stay going to bed tomorrow, of course I have time." I looked at her and said with a smile: "Why, I'm sorry to eat my meal. Do you want to invite me to drink tomorrow?"
"Ha." Lin Jiayi shook his head, "It's nothing, I'll ask."
She had a clear expression just now, and suddenly became a little disappointed. I didn't know where I offended this girl again. I wanted to say something, but I had no way to start. I could only look out the window and look at the skyscrapers standing in Guomao to cover up my embarrassment.
"You said he must be very lonely, right? In a strange place, looking up, there was no one without familiarity." Lin Jiayi said quietly, a little sad.
Suddenly, I remembered that tomorrow is Saturday and that Xiao An will leave the world for a month!
Fortunately, he still treats me as a friend. I will forget such an important day. If it weren't for Lin Jiayi's words, I might not have remembered it with guilt. I turned around apologetically, looked at Lin Jiayi, and comforted him: "He is just waiting for us there. When he waits for the people he is familiar with, he is used to loneliness, so he will not feel lonely either."
"Did you remember?"
I nodded ashamed, "I kept saying that he was my friend, but now I don't even remember such days."
"It's better if you don't remember, you always want him to do?" Lin Jiayi sneered, "You always think about him. Maybe he will scold you in the sky for not looking forward and live a good life."
"sorry."
"What does it have to do with me?"
"Can I go and see Xiao An with you tomorrow?"
"You can go as you like, go if you want."
"Um"
The atmosphere between us suddenly became a little heavy, because of the optimistic man.
The lunch ended in a boring manner. After we returned to Borui, Lin Jia once again got into the studio and I returned to the office. I was surrounded by deep self-blame. I was so selfish. That night a month ago, I promised Xiang Xiaoan to take good care of her, but what did I do?
There was no performance, and she let her drink to drown her sorrows. When the company needed to resume work, she shamelessly asked her to come and work. Now even such an important day is almost forgotten. I am really shameless.
It seems that I am a person who is good at letting down. I spent four years disappointing Tong Xue’s expectations for me, and another month disappointing a friend’s entrustment to me.
I was very angry and didn't care about the other people in the office. I directly slapped myself. I want to use this method to keep myself in mind.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Zhang Yao noticed my abnormal behavior and asked, "Is it great to slap myself? I can help you."
"You" I shook my head with a wry smile, said nothing, and sat back in my seat.
"What did you have? Have you had a conflict with Jiayi?" Zhang Yao asked again when she saw that I didn't say anything.
"What does it have to do with her?" I smiled dejectedly, "Tomorrow will be the day for him to leave for a month. If Jiayi hadn't mentioned it today, I would have almost forgotten. What's funny is that I still fuckingly took his entrustment to educate that girl."
"Is it the one who is very important to her?"
"Well, are I very selfish?"
"Maybe it's because there have been too many things in the past two days, so it's normal for you to remember."
"Ha, don't comfort me, I'm just fucking selfish."
"Are you selfish?" Zhang Yao asked back: "If you are selfish, why should you consider her everywhere? Why should you always remember the entrustment from your friends to you?"
"Chen Mo, you should put down some things and demand yourself like this. I am afraid that even the iron man can't stand it. There are very few things that a person can pretend in his heart. If you insist on putting too many things, sooner or later you will collapse."
"I remember the day I went to pick her up, why did I forget it when I was in front of her?"
I have some contradictions and can't figure out why such a problem occurs in myself. Now I can only pin my hope on Zhang Yao, hoping that she can give me an answer.
"If you care too much, you will have this kind of error."
"Do you care?" I murmured, "If I really care, I wouldn't force her to resume work, wouldn't I?"
"Maybe."
Zhang Yao, who was comforting me just now, after hearing my question, she seemed to have changed someone else, with a little indifference.
I raised my head in confusion, wondering why she suddenly became like this. She looked at the computer, as if she had never spoken to me just now.
Early Saturday morning.
Before six o'clock, I got up from the bed, lit the first cigarette of today, and I stood in front of the window.
The sky is a little dark, and no matter how hard the sun struggles, it cannot break free from the cover of the dark clouds, but it can coat the dark clouds with a layer of golden red. I have seen such weather, which was at dusk when I rushed back to Beijing a month ago.
I picked up the phone and called Lin Jiayi.
"You're up?" After answering, she asked in a hoarse voice.
"Well, where are we meeting?"
"Give me your address and wait for Xiang Yu to come to find me, we will pick you up."
"good."
After hanging up the phone, I used WeChat to give her my address.
After extinguishing the cigarette, I went into the bathroom and took a hot shower. After shaving the stubble, I took care of it again. I didn't want my friends to see my sloppy side. I wanted him to see us who are still alive on it.
After putting on a black formal outfit, I made myself a breakfast and waited while eating. About an hour later, I received a call from Lin Jiayi, carried the two-and-oven pot head I bought last night, and left.
I met Lin Jiayi at the entrance of the community and Xiang Yu who was driving an imported Hummer. After nodding to each other, I opened the car door and sat in the back seat of the car
Cemetery.
The three of us stood in front of Xiang Xiao'an's tombstone. Xiang Yu took off his coat and picked up a shovel to loosen the surface of Xiao'an's cemetery. "Sometimes I really can't believe you just left like that. Brother, are you doing well there? Is anyone bullying you? You have to wait for the big brother to go there to avenge you."
As he spoke, he began to choke.
"You guy, you have been taking care of your elder brother since you were a child. What should you do if you are there?"
"What are you doing when you say this?" Lin Jiayi interrupted Xiang Yu. She looked at Xiang Xiaoan's photo on the tombstone, "I'll come to see you. You bastard, you are laughing now. You know that you are the same when you are terminally ill. When can you change your expression?"
She murmured: "I'm going to Jiaxing tomorrow. Why is it not today when I go there to shoot Chen Mo's company advertisements? I really don't want to see you, a bastard."
"Don't be too sad, he doesn't want to see you like this." I patted Lin Jiayi on the shoulder, took out the Erguotou I had bought, squatted down, and put them in. "Brother, I don't know what wine you like to drink, so I bought this one. I heard that the one you Beijing man loves to drink the most is that you promised me to have a good drink after you get well, but unfortunately, you broke your promise."
"I'm quite selfish. Really, if Jiayi hadn't mentioned it yesterday, I'd almost forgotten today. A month is really fucking fast. Are you okay there? What are you missing? Let me dream for you. Anyway, what you can use is not expensive. I can afford it, a little girl, I can afford it." As I said, the corners of my eyes began to wet, Xiang Xiaoan really looks like me, the me used to be.
The same optimism and the same purity are just a pity that I lost myself, and he no longer exists in this world.
The three of us said a lot to Xiang Xiaoan, most of us remembered and complained.
"Can you go back to the car and stay for a while? I want to say something to him alone."
Xiang Yu and I looked at each other, nodded, and left the space for Lin Jiayi and Xiang Xiaoan.
"Brother, are you a drifter in Beijing?" Standing in front of the car, Xiang Yu handed me a cigarette and started chatting.
"Yes, I've been drifting here for four years."
"That's really not easy." Xiang Yu sighed: "Xiao An can have friends like you, I am really happy for him, but it's a pity that this kid is blessed and didn't survive."
"Maybe this is fate?" I smiled and said, "We are all played with by fate. We may be about to report to it at any time, early or late, and there will always be that day."
"Yes," Xiang Yu nodded, took out a business card from his bag and handed it to me, "It's nothing else, just leave a contact information. You are my brother's friend, and I'm a few years older than you, here." He pointed at his heart, "I will also regard you as my brother. If you have any problems in the future, I will say to me."
"Yes." I smiled and put away my business card, but I didn't plan to find him.
