Xu Chunliang went back and asked grandpa to go to bed first, and he was responsible for packing up. Xu Changshan told him to put the dishes and chopsticks in the sink, and then wash them when Mama Lin came tomorrow.
Xu Chunliang finished packing his things here, and saw that the lights in Grandpa's room were still on. When he went in, he found that he was already asleep. After all, the old man was old and drank a lot of wine tonight. Xu Chunliang put a bottle of mineral water by the bed, turned off the light for him, closed the door, and quietly backed out.
As soon as he got back to his room, his cell phone rang. To his surprise, it was Zhao Xiaohui who called. They haven't contacted each other since the last medical dispute was resolved. Did Zhao Xiaohui regret it? Want to find your own account?
Xu Chunliang answered the phone with full of curiosity.
"Have time for a drink?"
Xu Chunliang looked at the time and it was already ten thirty in the evening, he yawned and said, "I'm getting ready to go to bed."
"Hehe, liar, all men are liars, who told me they were friends? Who said they would help me sincerely?"
Xu Chunliang could sense her drunkenness through the phone: "Where are you? I'll go find you?"
Zhao Xiaohui hung up the phone.
Xu Chunliang waited for a while, and she sent a location.
Zhao Xiaohui sat by the Yinlong Lake, with her knees hugged and her feet bare, facing the night wind at eleven o'clock, staring blankly at the bright moon in the night sky. Her eyes were filled with the cold moonlight. Six cans of beer, four of which she drank.
She dragged the address book from A to Z, and then from Z back to A. She really wanted to find someone familiar to accompany her, but all the names became so unfamiliar. In the end, she actually chose Xu Chunliang, who couldn't be with someone at all. people called friends.
If she is forced to find a reason to contact Xu Chunliang, because Xu Chunliang once said that he would become her friend, because she is in a bad mood tonight, she needs to find a way to vent, and even wants to find someone to scold severely, Xu Chunliang is undoubtedly a very suitable candidate in the near future. As long as he dares to come, he will be scolded.
Of course Xu Chunliang dared to come. Although he was not a good person, he kept his word and he would do what he promised. Zhao Xiaohui reduced the compensation from three million to thirty thousand. Of course it was because of her heart There are ghosts, but they have given themselves enough face.
Seeing Zhao Xiaohui sitting alone on the embankment, Xu Chunliang took off his coat first, and helped her put it on after coming behind her.
Zhao Xiaohui raised her head and looked at him. The words she was planning to scold him suddenly got stuck in the middle. Before Xu Chunliang arrived, she had already been blown away by the autumn night lake wind. This coat actually gave her what she longed for. A trace of warmth.
Xu Chunliang smiled and sat down beside her: "Do you want someone to scold you?"
Zhao Xiaohui pointed at him, is this guy a devil? How does he know what I think?
Chick!
Xu Chunliang opened a can of beer, and slowly got used to the taste of beer after coming to this era.
Zhao Xiaohui also wanted to open a can. Xu Chunliang had already handed her the opened beer before opening another can.
Zhao Xiaohui said: "I broke up with Chen Jianxin."
Xu Chunliang nodded, this matter has nothing to do with him.
"Why don't you comfort me? Even if you say a word of comfort in a hypocritical way!"
Xu Chunliang laughed: "You don't need me to comfort you, because your pattern and heart will not be troubled by emotions."
Zhao Xiaohui shook her head and said: "You don't understand, you don't understand feelings at all, do you know how much I paid for him, if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't leave my hometown and come to Dongzhou alone, if it wasn't for him, I would have Better job opportunities, if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be where I am now." She said the words that had been held in her heart for a long time in one breath, and tears flowed down her face.
Xu Chunliang didn't bring a tissue, men seldom carry that thing, and his relationship with Zhao Xiaohui wasn't close enough to wipe her tears with his hands, so he could only watch her cry.
Zhao Xiaohui's eyes were cloudy with tears, but it didn't mean she couldn't see Xu Chunliang's expression. This guy didn't have any sympathy on his face, and he was still looking at her with a playful smile. In this situation, was he gloating? Is this guy still human?
Zhao Xiaohui grabbed her sleeve, Xu Chunliang's sleeve, wiped away her tears, and wiped her nose along the way.
"Friends don't have to share weal and woe. In your understanding, it may be that when you are unlucky, I will accompany you to be unlucky, and when you cry bitterly, I will accompany you to cry. Wouldn't you be more sad like that? A real friend is because you are hungry. I’ll serve you a bowl of hot noodles when you’re cold, I’ll put a coat on you when you’re cold, I’ll make you feel that laughing is better than crying when you’re crying, and I’ll keep you safe when you’re drunk.”
Zhao Xiaohui was so engrossed in listening that she even forgot to cry.
Xu Chunliang said: "Since the relationship has come to an end, it is not a bad thing to break up. The reason why you cry is because you feel that you have made a mistake, because you feel wronged, not necessarily because of your feelings. If you still have feelings for Chen Jianxin Deep feelings, I don't think you will give up easily."
Zhao Xiaohui glared at him: "People who are too smart often don't live long."
Xu Chunliang smiled and said: "I agree with this, but I'm actually not a smart person, and I rely on others to help me."
Zhao Xiaohui heard him beating around the bush and scolding herself for being stupid. She took out a tissue from her handbag, wiped away her tears, and blew her nose again: "My life is a mess."
"There are not many people who are as self-aware as you."
"Get out!" Zhao Xiaohui couldn't help laughing after cursing, feeling that the depression in her heart had eased a lot.
Xu Chunliang took another sip of wine and said, "I always said to buy you a drink, but in the end you should buy me first."
"Why did you invite me? There must be a reason?"
"Thank you for being lenient with Changxing Net, and showing mercy."
Zhao Xiaohui didn't want to mention the past: "The past is over, I just want to ask you a question, did Chen Jianxin mention our matter to you?"
Xu Chunliang shook his head, he was relying on speculation.
Zhao Xiaohui understood that Xu Chunliang didn't have any evidence for his own affairs at all. He was defrauding himself only by guessing from the beginning to the end, but the reason why he gave in was because he had a ghost in his heart. In any case, in the game between the two, he lost.
Zhao Xiaohui didn't get angry because of this, she didn't even feel any sense of frustration, instead she felt relieved and relieved. Xu Chunliang was right in saying something, and it wouldn't do her any good to make things worse, and it would definitely affect her future development.
Zhao Xiaohui looked at the lake not far away. It was pitch black, and she couldn't see the distant scenery clearly. She could only hear the sound of water waves from far to near. At some point, she began to forget her dreams, wondering what is the meaning of life? When she went to Changxing and found out that she was pregnant, her first thought was to keep this life. She thought that the arrival of this life might change her and let her regain the meaning of life.
But the reality played a cruel joke on her. As a result, she had one ovary removed due to complications of ectopic pregnancy. Her claim against Changxing was not only because of her anger at the misdiagnosis, but also mixed with her hatred for the world. .
Chen Jianxin didn't love her for a long time, he sacrificed himself for him, but what he got in the end was his contempt for himself.
Zhao Xiaohui took a sip of wine and said: "I loved him before, but now I realize it's not worth it. What hurts me is not the breakup, but that I don't even know myself anymore."
Xu Chunliang didn't speak, and had a sip of wine with him. What Zhao Xiaohui needed was listening and company. It felt amazing that two people who had nothing to do with each other a few days ago could sit together and talk like this.
"Maybe you think I'm a strong woman, but I'm actually not like that. I've always been careful in front of him, even a little humble. The more I do this, the more I want to show my strength in front of others, but I'm Not strong, you understand? I'm a woman..."
Xu Chunliang nodded, Zhao Xiaohui is not only a woman, but also a good-looking woman, but she should know the words of a confidante, and it is not suitable to say such words at this time, and it may aggravate her trauma.
At this moment, a little yellow-green light appeared in front of the eyes of the two of them, flickering on and off, it was a firefly.
Zhao Xiaohui looked at the firefly thoughtfully: "I lost my way in my hometown once when I was young, and it was also at night. I was so scared, thinking that I would never find a home again in my life. I kept crying and it was dark around me. , I was terrified, at that moment, a firefly flew past my eyes, and I followed that firefly, walking, walking, walking, walking, when that firefly was in front of my eyes When it disappeared, I saw the lights at the entrance of the village."
Xu Chunliang said meaningfully: "I think what you saw at that time was hope. As long as you are alive, there will always be hope."
Zhao Xiaohui sighed, she could no longer see her own hope.
Xu Chunliang smiled and said: "You don't believe it? Close your eyes."
"What are you doing?"
"Let you see hope."
Zhao Xiaohui closed her eyes suspiciously, and heard a snap of her fingers in her ears. When she opened her eyes again, she saw a little bit of fluorescent light shining like stars in the surrounding grass and trees, flying around them, gathering more and more together. More and more, it's like they are in the galaxy, like a dream.
Zhao Xiaohui opened her hands, her eyes were full of surprises, and she could hardly believe that everything in front of her was real.
Xu Chunliang looked at her with a smile, and realized for the first time that helping someone would make him happy.
