I am a super cop

Chapter 545 The Prince of Depression
The man turned his phone to hands-free and put it back on the table.

Afterwards, he picked up the noodles that the woman opposite hadn't finished eating, and rested his chopsticks again, preparing to wipe out the noodles in the bowl.

It seemed that everything just now was unimportant, the important thing was that he was really hungry.

"What's wrong with you?" A middle-aged woman's greeting came from the phone.

"What's the matter?" The man was still eating noodles, and his tone was obviously much calmer than the conversation with the woman in red just now.

"Son, I see that you just posted on your Moments, but you deleted it all of a sudden. If you have anything, you can tell your family."

The woman on the phone also spoke in a soothing tone, as if talking with the young man carefully.

The young man coughed twice before replying, "I don't have much to say recently."

"You can also say bad things." The man's mother still insisted.

I don't know why, when Gu Chen heard this sentence, he found that the man's nose suddenly felt sore.

After trying to calm down, he wiped the teardrops from the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand.

Maybe it was to make himself look all right, so the man calmed down for nearly ten seconds before replying, "It's nothing, I'm eating outside."

"What are you eating?"

"Eat whatever you want, lung slices or something."

There was a sudden pause on the other end of the phone for a few seconds before the man's mother asked indifferently: "But didn't you never eat lung slices since you were a child?"

The man hesitated for a few seconds, then chuckled: "That was in the past, because my friends liked to eat lung slices, so...so people will always change."

"It's cold, pay more attention to your body outside, don't tire yourself out."

"Okay, I got it, let's do this first, and we will have to work overtime later."

"Well, then I won't bother you."

The man chatted with his mother on the phone for a while before he hung up.

At this time, a pair of men were looking around for a place with a large bowl of noodles they just got.

When he saw Gu Chen sitting alone in a seat for two, he didn't eat.

So one of the glasses men hurriedly asked, "Excuse me, do you want to sit here and eat?"

Gu Chen glanced at the two men, then stood up wisely, gave up his seat and said, "You guys sit here and eat."

"Thank you." Another man also took the initiative to thank him.

After Gu Chen looked around, only the seat of the woman in red was still vacant.

So Gu Chen took the initiative to walk over and sat quietly opposite the man.

The man slightly raised his head to look at Gu Chen, and soon recognized Gu Chen, and nodded slightly to say hello.

"Was that your girlfriend just now?" Gu Chen also asked casually.

The man smiled, a little embarrassed, but still nodded: "It used to be, but it won't be from now on."

Looking up at Gu Chen again, the man smiled slightly and said, "Thank you just now for making you wait so long."

"It's okay, I have time." Gu Chen said.

The man tried his best to turn around, took out a tissue to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, then turned around and said, "Did you see what happened just now?"

Gu Chen nodded.

"I made you laugh." The man said with a smile.

Gu Chen said indifferently: "It's nothing, it's nothing more than a relationship problem."

"Hehe." The man laughed dryly, and couldn't help complaining: "To be honest, after living in a big city for a few years, I feel more and more that expressing emotions is a very difficult thing."

Seeing Gu Chen's earnest listening, the man shook his head, laughed at himself and said, "Because I don't know you before, so I just confide in you."

"You look troubled a lot?" Gu Chen asked.

The man nodded and said: "Almost, sometimes I really want to say something, but the words come to my lips, after thinking about it, I'd better forget it."

"Even if it is a circle of friends who complains about it, it may cause a series of chain reactions."

"For example, just now, my mother called because I deleted a Moments post, ha ha."

"She should care about you very much. After all, there is no mother who doesn't care about her son."

The moment Gu Chen spoke, a deaf-mute waiter walked over, just in time to bring a big bowl of noodles, and put it directly in front of Gu Chen.

Afterwards, the waiter gestured dumb words in front of Gu Chen, and pointed in the direction of the front desk.

Gu Chen knew that he was telling himself that this was called by the man opposite just now, and now it is for Gu Chen.

"Thank you." Gu Chen made a simple gesture, not knowing whether his dumb speech was standard.

But the deaf-mute waiter could see clearly, smiled and left.

Gu Chen also picked up the chopsticks and started to gobble it up, because he was really hungry.

The young man on the opposite side took a sip of the soup with a large bowl, put it down, and then smiled at Gu Chen and said, "I heard that the sign of a person's maturity is learning to control his emotions."

"But in this world shrouded by social networks, the so-called control of emotions is actually a process of constantly shrinking the circle of friends."

"Just like me." The man pointed at himself, and said involuntarily, "Apart from my colleagues at work, I rarely even contact my former classmates."

"There are also my relatives and friends who were better before. After I made a girlfriend, I started to have very little contact with them."

"The number of times I have controlled like this, in the end, even my desire to express has disappeared."

"That's right." Gu Chen looked at the other party seriously and said, "The feeling of putting everything on yourself will not only be accepted by you, but even your friends will get used to it."

"Maybe that's how people are." The man took out a tissue, dipped his mouth and said, "Once a person is in a hurry to do something, he has no reason to think about whether the matter itself is reasonable or not."

"Only after you have to calm down, you have time to face the depression in your heart."

"And the longer the depression, the stronger the desire to be understood, just like me now, as you saw just now, I am not understood at all."

"You mean... your girlfriend?" Gu Chen asked knowingly.

"Yes." The man nodded, and said again: "I am busy from morning to night every day, and I don't even have a chance to catch my breath. When she came, she said that I didn't understand her."

"She is free at work, and I am busy at work, so we should understand each other..."

Thinking that he would confide this to a stranger, the man hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said with a smile, "I've told you too much."

"It's okay, I'll forget about it soon." Gu Chen exuded a smile of insight into the world, and said lightly, "So, after another long silence, you looked at the other party's disappointed expression, and then you suddenly Do you understand why you are becoming more and more speechless?"

The man smiled and nodded: "Almost, after all, the purpose of expressing emotions is to get the understanding of the other party."

"If it doesn't, then whatever is said will only create greater misunderstanding."

"As the number of misunderstandings increases, the relationship that was originally close will become farther and farther away with the passage of time."

Taking out his mobile phone, the man found the social account of the woman in red, and then sent a smiley face emoticon.

Soon, a red exclamation mark appeared.

[Beibi has turned on friend verification, you are not his (her) friend yet.Please send a friend verification request first, and the other party can only chat after the verification is passed. 】

Behind the light subtitles, there's also a blue "Send to a Friend Verification" link.

The man smiled, and showed Gu Chen the conversation page: "It seems that she really deleted me."

"Maybe she's right. We're really not suitable. For example, when she's sad, I'm always sadder than her. Then why does she still stay with me?"

Gu Chen didn't say a word, and continued to eat noodles. He shouldn't get involved in such matters.

The man lowered his head slightly so that he didn't have to look at Gu Chen. He looked at the dialog box on the screen with his hand, as if he was about to run out of energy.

Suddenly he smiled self-consciously, and secretly cheered himself up: "Maybe it's best to delete friends. I always don't know what she needs, and hasn't she thought about what I need? So, it's good for both of us to separate?"

"And you know, I didn't like to eat lung slices since I was a child, but for her, I changed my previous habit, because she likes to eat."

He raised his head gently, as he had done hundreds of times before, and let out a soft laugh: "I just suddenly discovered a lot of things, things that I didn't pay attention to before, and things that I haven't noticed all the time. to care about."

"Maybe... this is also the most ironic place in life."

"When we grow up, we always want to integrate into another world, but in the process, we get farther and farther away from the people we are most familiar with."

"Later, we kept hitting walls in another world, becoming silent because of exhaustion, and disqualified because of silence."

"It wasn't until this time that we thought of looking back and finally realized that the meaning of the original expression was not to be understood by others, but to let you distinguish who is the one who is willing to understand you."

The man opened the phone address book, and showed Gu Chen the records of the five phone calls his mother had dialed to him just now: "Did you know? Someone will always understand your circle of friends."

"It's like my mother. I just sent a post about my mood, and then deleted it casually. My mother can call me five times in a row to comfort me."

"Maybe no one in this world can bother me so much anymore."

The man was a little emotional, his nose was sore, and tears suddenly flowed down his face uncontrollably.

It was also because the voice was a bit too loud just now, and many customers who were eating nearby also cast curious glances for a short while.

Just looking at the crowded audience, the man couldn't feel better. He wiped away his tears again and said, "I'm sorry, I lost my composure."

He touched his pocket, only to find that the napkins had already been used up.

Gu Chen took a sip of the noodles, then took it out of his pocket, put his napkin on the table, pushed it in front of the man, and said, "Use mine."

"Thank you." The man was also polite.

Gu Chen shook his head, and said flatly, "I think we should cherish people who are willing to express their emotions."

"But if you don't express it, who likes a hot face and a cold ass? Or do you not want people to understand you?"

When the woman in red walked into the restaurant and sat opposite the man, Gu Chen noticed that the man seemed to be preoccupied, but when faced with all kinds of complaints from the woman in red, he had no desire to express it.

It seemed that there was some misunderstanding between the two, but the man did not want to explain.

But in the adult world, you can only get what you want if you take the initiative to fight for it.

After all, no one is a roundworm in someone's stomach. Many people pretend to be like a depressed prince. They don't want to say what they think, but they want others to understand him and understand him.

That's not realistic in itself.

The man smiled and said, "I understand, thank you."

"Senior Brother Gu." Just as the man finished speaking, Yuan Shasha walked up to Gu Chen with the remaining food: "We are all eating inside, why are you outside alone, Senior Brother Wang is looking for you .”

"Oh, then I'll go there right away." Gu Chen quickly agreed.

"Then come here quickly." Yuan Shasha reminded and left.

At this time, the young man sitting across from Gu Chen also smiled, stretched out his hand and said, "Then go and accompany your friend first, and leave me alone, I want to be quiet with this person."

"Well, think about your parents more in everything. If you don't know what to do now, then try to honor your parents. There is nothing wrong with this."

Gu Chen also took out textbook-like persuasion...

Gu Chen can encounter persuasion work like this every month.

The man nodded and looked directly out of the window.

And Gu Chen also walked into the No. [-] private room with the unfinished noodles.

"Gu Chen, is that your friend outside?" As soon as Gu Chen entered the private room, Officer Wang turned on the questioning mode.

Officer Wang was very sure that the man in the hall seemed to know Gu Chen somewhat.

After all, the circle of Jiangnan City is so big. Maybe some people from the same city will never see each other in their entire lives, but some people can always meet in a suitable place.

It was also because Gu Chen chatted with him for a long time in the living room, that's why Officer Wang asked more questions.

"I just met, I don't know the name." Gu Chen sat back in his seat, only to find that there were a lot of snacks on the dining table.

Yuan Shasha hurriedly explained: "The guy just now had a bit of a bad temper, which made the proprietress a little embarrassed, but it was Senior Brother Gu who was wise and gave him two bowls of noodles, so he gave up."

"So that's the case." Officer Wang nodded slightly, and asked Gu Chen in a gossip tone: "Then Gu Chen, do you know why he is angry?"

"It's a relationship problem, I just broke up." Gu Chen said.

When Wang Dewen heard it, he immediately smiled and said, "This young man, who doesn't want to experience some emotional setbacks, you can only meet true love after experiencing some emotional setbacks."

"Then Senior Brother Wang, what do you think is true love?" Lu Weiwei didn't expect that Wang Dewen would talk about such a high-end topic, so she hurriedly asked him with the attitude of not wanting to miss it.

Wang Dewen was suddenly stumped.

But Police Officer Wang beside him said as someone who had been there: "Lu Weiwei, do you really want to know?"

"I really want to know." Lu Weiwei nodded fiercely, very sure.

Then Police Officer Wang glanced at Yuan Shasha...

Yuan Shasha quickly shook her head, pointed to Lu Weiwei and said, "Senior Sister Lu wants to know."

"Actually, it's nothing." Police Officer Wang put down his chopsticks, touched his swollen belly, and said, "Actually, I think true love is that. Even though they are both ugly, they still worry about each other being robbed. I think this is true love." .”

"Pfft!" Wang Dewen almost spit out the lungs from his mouth when he heard it, and said with a smile: "Old Wang, your point of view is interesting."

"After all, I'm from here." Officer Wang also leaned back on the seat and said, "But the true love of this age is not to look at the phone when we are together, and to reply to messages in time when we are not together."

"In fact, people nowadays believe in love, and at the same time believe that love will not happen to them."

Wang Dewen nodded quickly when he heard it, and said with longing: "So in the past, the horses and horses were very slow, and there was only enough to love one person in a lifetime. This sentence sounds very beautiful, but I always feel that the person actually wants to love many people."

"It's just limited by the slow speed of carriages and horses in that era, and there is no way to love only one person."

Looking at everyone's surprised eyes, Wang Dewen also coughed twice and explained: "That's the truth, anyway, take your time."

"Senior brother Wang, you may also be the one who slipped through the net of quality education after Lao Wang?" Lu Weiwei couldn't help teasing, feeling that the two really flocked like birds of a feather.

Wang Dewen quickly drew a clear line with Police Officer Wang: "I am different from him. I am me and he is him. When I changed my girlfriend three times, Lao Wang didn't have a girlfriend yet."

"If it weren't for the fire brigade assigned to Jiangnan City in the end, I might have started a family and settled in another place. Lao Wang has no choice, and I am not on the same level as me."

"Hahaha."

Also listening to Wang Dewen's history of police officer Wang, Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha couldn't help laughing.

Comrade Wang was embarrassed and wanted to strangle Wang Dewen to death.

The entire No. [-] private room was immediately filled with laughter.

But while everyone was teasing and tearing each other down, Gu Chen clearly saw the young man outside the door, as if he was observing something.

Soon, he stood up, picked up the black leather bag, and walked directly towards the bathroom of Silent Noodle Shop.

"Junior Brother Gu, what are you looking at?" Gu Chen was also absent-minded. After all, it was rare to learn about Comrade Wang's past interesting stories from Wang Dewen.

But Gu Chen's mind didn't seem to be here, so Lu Weiwei was also very curious.

Gu Chen smiled and said, "It's nothing, I want to go to the bathroom."

"Then I'll accompany you." Lu Weiwei said, and began to dig out tissues in her bag.

Yuan Shasha took a look, and quickly put down her chopsticks: "Then I'll go too, the three of us will go together."

Gu Chen nodded, got up and walked out.

Several people came to the outside of the bathroom.

The toilets of the entire Silent Noodle House are a side-by-side structure, with a total of 3 single toilets, regardless of gender.

At this time, apart from Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha, there were still a few customers waiting in line at the door.

5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes passed...

The customers in the bathroom came out one after another.

But when Gu Chen walked out of the bathroom last, he found that the customer who was queuing up on the far right just now was still standing there waiting anxiously.

And Gu Chen clearly remembered that the compartment on the right was where the young man entered, but there was still no movement inside.
