"Feng Xue, are you really not going to come back? I'm so hungry!"
"Where are you hiding?"
"Don't dwell on the sadness of the past. Come back soon...come back soon."
Feng Xue, Feng Xue, why are you doing this?
Du Siqiu held her mobile phone and stared blankly at the clothes drying pole on the back balcony. The room was completely silent. Feng Xue had set up this clothes drying pole before. Although this rental house was only a temporary residence for the two of them, Feng Xue spent a lot of money.
A lot of thought went into decorating this place. She really couldn't understand her sudden departure.
It had been four months since Feng Xue ran away. She had never contacted her since the last message. This decisive attitude made Du Siqiu gradually believe that she would never come back.
Summer is halfway through, and the weather is starting to get warmer and warmer. Life still has to go on, and many changes have taken place for everyone. During this period, Du Siqiu accompanied He Youdong to see the real estate, and he successfully bought a new residence for He's mother and him
My sister He Youxi lives in the city. During this period, Yang Li signed a contract with Shenzhen Magazine in C language and the novel Love Letter was officially completed. It was enthusiastically received by readers and published as a full version. During this period, Yang Li sent her a letter in the UK.
He used it as a temporary farewell message. During this period, Chen Jun made Shenzhen Magazine a great success and had a girlfriend. He Youdong said that the girl was from his friend's company.
Interns, with clean and pure smiles. During this period, He Youdong and He Xi performed outstandingly and were both promoted. During this period, Du Siqiu's mother once suggested that she and He Youdong discuss their engagement. He Youdong
Later, I visited the Du family several times. The Du family's parents became more and more fond of this future son-in-law. That's why Du's mother urged them to get engaged as soon as possible.
Du Siqiu did not refute her mother's intention in person, but she secretly laughed in her heart. She and He Youdong had not been together for a long time, so they were engaged. It would be better not to scare He Youdong away!
Anyway, He Youdong didn't mention the marriage now, and she wouldn't talk about it. It would be good to get along like this for a year or two more, to get to know each other better, so as not to regret it after getting married, which would be too costly.
High.
Of course, there is another key reason. This is a difficult period for He Youdong's family. At this time, it is crazy to bring up the engagement with him. At this time, their family probably cannot be too happy.
.
He Youdong told her that after his father came out, he went directly to his second home. He didn't even see his mother here, and only called her back, which seemed to be a series of apologies.
In addition to a weak woman, the family also has a child waiting for him to raise. They need him even more, so he can only make this choice. It seems that he is going to divorce Youdong's mother.
He Youdong didn't know exactly what else was said. She only knew that her mother held the phone and listened to his words. She was speechless and her pale lips trembled terribly. For this man who had betrayed her
, originally she planned to forgive him, but now it seems that he does not seem to need her forgiveness.
When He Youxi on the side saw this situation, he angrily grabbed the phone from her mother's hand and yelled at her father over there: "Bullshit! I tell you, from now on, I don't have you as a father!" After speaking, he threw
I got off the phone, hugged my head and started crying.
Mother He didn't even curse him, just two lines of clear tears silently fell down her cheeks.
On the other hand, He Youdong, as the only sane person in the family, did not react at all, but suffered great pain in his heart. Why? In the eyes of his father, they really didn't mean anything to him.
Is it important?!
The relationship between husband and wife, the relationship between father and son, and the relationship between father and daughter have ended here.
Du Siqiu didn't say anything to comfort He Youdong. She knew that when he was most uncomfortable, all she had to do was stay by his side quietly, and no other words were needed. Ever since he was hurt by Huang Ying, he
Become accustomed to self-healing. Everyone who grows up should learn to heal themselves.
Not long after, Du Siqiu met Chen Jun's girlfriend by chance. While she was waiting for the elevator, she saw them walking side by side toward her. The girl held his arm sweetly, with a little affection.
A little shy.
Since Feng Xue left for Chen Jun, Du Siqiu rarely saw him in the company on weekdays. Perhaps he deliberately avoided Feng Xue out of guilt for Feng Xue. Now, she saw from his unnatural facial expression
You can see it.
Of course, he introduced them both generously: "This is my friend and colleague, Du Siqiu...this is my girlfriend, Song Ya."
The two girls greeted each other very lamely, and then had nothing else to say. After all, they were both girls who had just come out of society and were still immature in dealing with people. They didn't know how to find topics to talk to unfamiliar people.
.Perhaps Du Siqiu's personal selfishness is also mixed in. Although he subconsciously knows that Chen Jun is not wrong in rejecting Feng Xue, Feng Xue has not shown up for so long, and maybe she is still hiding somewhere secretly sad, but Chen Jun is
The big difference is that compared to Feng Xue, he lives a very free and easy life.
Probably because of this selfishness, Du Siqiu always felt that there was a thick layer of distance between her and the girl in front of her, and she could not truly communicate with each other. For the first time in her life, she felt helpless at her own unreasonableness.
However, the girl in front of her was indeed as the rumors said: smooth skin, clear eyes, and a clean smile. This was something Du Siqiu couldn't envy. To be honest, with such a simple level, she would probably never be seen again after high school.
Never owned it. She has been more or less polluted in the big dye vat of society.
Chen Jun took out the car from the underground garage, and he offered to take Du Siqiu back. In the past, she would have gotten in the car without saying a word, but now she didn't dare. She always felt a little reserved, so she politely declined Chen Jun's offer.
kindness.
He opened the car door and let his girlfriend Song Ya get in the car first. He turned around and planned to say goodbye to Du Siqiu before leaving. Du Siqiu took the opportunity to ask him, "Is this the girl you fell in love with earlier this morning?"
"Huh?" He actually pretended to be confused.
"Forget it, just pretend I didn't ask anything and you can go."
"Well, then be careful on the road."
After saying goodbye to Chen Jun and Song Ya, Du Siqiu did not go home directly. She found a coffee shop on the roadside and went in, ordered a cup of black coffee and a plate of blueberry osmanthus cake, and sat leisurely by herself to kill time. This
It was time to go home. There was really nothing to do, so I might as well hang out for a while and then go back.
Unexpectedly, I met Peng Tao because of this.
There were several tables between Du Siqiu and him, and they were not very close, but he saw her as soon as she walked in. Because of this intentional or unintentional gaze, Du Siqiu soon discovered his presence.
What kind of feeling is it? After not seeing each other for several months, although Peng Tao doesn't seem to have changed much, his eyes are not as arrogant as before. Even when he comes to say hello to her, he becomes extremely hesitant. He
With this kind of awareness, it doesn't make people think of the past that is not worth recalling. The various behaviors she and he did out of anger and nonsense now seem too funny and childish when they think about it. The difference is that now, Du Siqiu is not as good as before.
She hated Peng Tao so much, because with He Youdong by her side, she had no extra thought to pay attention to whether Peng Tao's life was good or bad, which had nothing to do with her.
"How are you doing these days, Du Siqiu?" He sat down in front of her.
"There are good times and bad times, but it's much better than before." She answered this, not intentionally sarcastic about Peng Tao or there was something wrong in her words. She really thought so. Life itself is like this. It can't always be smooth sailing. There are good things and bad things.
Yes, these are inevitable. But she has indeed grown a lot. At the very least, she no longer restrains herself and no longer resists getting closer to another heart that is willing to give her warmth.
In the past, she always suspected that she was suffering from something wrong, but now she was sure that her condition had improved and even showed signs of recovery.
Peng Tao met her eyes and said with a self-deprecating smile: "You are doing well, but I am not. Yao Yundi and I have divorced a long time ago."
Oh, it’s still the same thing.
Du Siqiu nodded: "Yes, I've heard about this." It's really strange. Peng Tao and Yao Yundi had only been married for a long time. Not to mention half a year, not even two months, Yao Yundi filed for divorce and left them decisively.
All the work here went back to Paris.
Du Siqiu found it difficult to understand this. She had never known that Peng Tao had such a downtrodden side. Was there any shortcoming in him that Yao Yundi couldn't bear? However, as childhood sweethearts, they had been together for many years. What shortcomings did they not understand?
It passed!
"You came to greet me just to talk about your divorce?"
"Du Siqiu, I want to ask you, do you think I deserve the end I have ended up in?" He looked at her and smiled, more like a bitter smile than a smile. From beginning to end, there was something in his smile.
Always full of self-deprecation.
"Haha." She suddenly couldn't help laughing.
"why are you laughing?"
"Peng Tao, actually it's been so long. Apart from occasionally thinking about this past event with a funny mood, most of the time I don't have any special feeling. I live a very busy and fulfilling life, and I don't have time to hold on tightly.
I won’t let go of the memories. But you seem to be going backwards.”
"You have indeed grown up."
"Thank you. How do you say this?"
"I remember in the past, I asked you how we would arrange things in the future. You said you didn't know and you had never considered such a thing. When you were worried, I asked you what was wrong. If you have anything, don't keep it in your heart. Talk to me.
But you never talked about it once, and you never told me about any difficult problems you had. You know, we have been together for so long, and you have never said anything confidant to me, not even half as much as you did today. I have been trying
I try hard to get close to you, but I never succeed. You always hide in your own world and refuse to come out."
So it turned out that his abandonment of her was actually just a resignation out of helplessness.
Now, Du Siqiu was finally willing to admit this. She even took the initiative to apologize to him.
"No, I'm sorry for you. As a man, I shouldn't get angry because of this." This time, his smile finally became more natural.
Du Siqiu and him therefore put aside all grudges and reconciled.
