i'm not a bad man

Chapter 413
It was getting dark, and the originally lively streets gradually became deserted. This desertedness formed a sharp gap with the scenic spots on the mobile phone screen that were almost crowded with tourists. Sometimes I looked at the streets, sometimes at the pictures on my mobile phone. In the scenic spot, I just felt that my whole person was about to be separated. I didn't like this feeling of being separated, so I ended the call without talking too much with Chang Yuli.

I lit another cigarette, still not smoking. I just held it between my fingers and let it burn. It seemed that what was burning was not the tobacco, but the various emotions in my heart. Gradually, I felt empty and empty. Happiness is like a tree on the roadside.

……

Suddenly, it started to snow. This was definitely an unexpected snowfall, because Lu Xi told me before leaving that it would not snow until the evening of the [-]th. This was obviously early...

I have never believed the weather forecast 100%, so I accepted the snow in my heart. I even felt that it was a bit like me. We both couldn’t wait. The only difference was that it couldn’t wait to come to this world of fireworks, and I couldn’t wait. What I have to wait for is my parents. It covers an entire city, and all I want is a family reunion under one window.

……

I didn't have anything else to do, so I just kept in a daze... It wasn't until a car stopped next to me that I came back to my senses.

This was a very ordinary family car. The people who stepped out of it were Zhao Yingrou and Zhai Nuo, the classmate who tipped me off.

Zhai Nuo, we haven't seen each other for seven or eight years. Apart from learning how to put on makeup, she doesn't seem to have changed much. Even her hairstyle has not changed. She still has shoulder-length short hair, but with a little more texture. It looks a little more refined.

As soon as he got off the car, Zhai Nuo smiled and said to Zhao Yingrou: "You lost the bet, I just said he will wait here, there is no need to contact him at all, just come here to find him."

Zhao Yingrou replied calmly: "If you lose, you lose. It's just a meal."

I was in a low mood and just looked at them in silence, but the two of them sat down next to me. Zhai Nuo spoke to me first: "Old classmate, we haven't seen each other for so long, why are you looking so sad?" ah?"

"You also know that after we haven't seen each other for so long, you took me as a bet and considered my mood?"

Zhai Nuo smiled innocently, and then said to me curiously: "Tell me quickly, what have you been doing all these years..."

"Is this something that can be explained clearly in a few words?"

"Anyway, I have plenty of time... I'll go to the restaurant opposite and ask for a hot pot, and we'll sit here and eat and chat."

I can't believe that one person's curiosity about another person can expand to such an extent. Zhai Nuo actually borrowed a folding table from a hot pot restaurant and set up an open-air dinner here... Hot pot is made with It was burned by charcoal fire. Fortunately, the snow did not fall very much. When it encountered the heat of the hot pot, it had no time to fall and melted in the blink of an eye.

I was finally not so lonely anymore. I even drank some wine, and then I talked to Zhai Nuo about the years I spent abroad, but I didn’t talk about emotional matters. I just talked about some experiences on the road...

Zhai Nuo was sometimes in trance, sometimes frowning, sometimes crying, and sometimes laughing.

I am not exaggerating to describe her emotions. She is not a particularly emotional woman. It’s just that in such a prosperous city, they gradually have a need that cannot be met, such as freedom and distance. , I happened to have such an experience, and it was extraordinary. Once I was willing to describe this experience vividly, it was really easy for them to fall for it, and she was not the first one to fall for it.

……

After calming down, Zhai Nuo suddenly looked at me and Zhao Yingrou and asked: "There is a question that I have never been able to figure out. At that time, there was no one in the class who was a better match than you. Why did you break up later?"

I subconsciously looked at Zhao Yingrou, because she was the one who wanted to break up with me in the first place, so of course she should answer this question.

Zhai Nuo also followed me and set his sights on Zhao Yingrou. Zhao Yingrou immediately blushed. While poking at the sauce in the bowl with her chopsticks, she replied absentmindedly: "Isn't it unnecessary for you to ask this question? At that time Something happened at home, and I didn’t want to be dragged down by him, so we broke up.”

Zhai Nuo looked surprised, then shook his head and said, "You're not that kind of person, are you?" "I'm just such a person who likes to weigh the pros and cons of everything."

"If we weren't very familiar with each other, I would really believe it..."

Zhao Yingrou seemed to have thought of something, and quickly interrupted Zhai Nuo and said: "What's the point of staring at those old things... Eat hot pot."

Zhai Nuo smiled, and then swallowed back what he was going to say. Of course, I didn't ask any more questions. I had the same idea as Zhao Yingrou. We have been separated for so many years, and now we are going to analyze such a relationship that ended without any problem. Emotions are really boring!

What I was more concerned about was that Zhai Nuo saw my father's credibility, so after changing the subject, I asked her for confirmation again; this time, she was more firm than on the phone, saying that the man selling scraps here was my father. , and her determination became the reason why I had to wait here.

……

After finishing the hot pot, they also left. In fact, on such a night as the Chinese New Year is getting closer and closer, I am very grateful to them. Thank them for having dinner with me and chatting with me so much; this makes me feel that I I gradually regained my memories of the city of Tianjin. After all, they were all classmates I had known in Tianjin for many years. With them by my side, those memories of Tianjin came back to life.

……

I didn't go back to the hotel until ten o'clock at night. The first thing I did after returning to the hotel was to make a video call to Qiao Jiao. In my opinion, this was a phone call that I had to make because I had already felt it. The uneasiness in her heart, as her boyfriend, I have the obligation to eliminate the uneasiness in her heart.

Qiao Jiao answered the video call, and after so many days, I finally saw what she looked like; at this time, she had already tried to tie her hair in braids. She didn't seem to go out, so she was wearing pajamas, but even though Such a casual dress still does not affect her beauty.

I had no intention of comparing Qiao Jiao and Lu Xi, but they do represent the two extreme beauties among all the women I have seen. Qiao Jiao is more realistic. If someone asks, who is the most stunning in your life? The woman you love must be Qiao Jiao, because you will instantly think of her flawless facial features; while Lu Xi is a kind of illusory beauty that requires you to construct and imagine her appearance. So much so that even if she is standing next to you, you don't dare to presume that you have anything to do with her. Her beauty may even put pressure on you and make you less confident.

I first spoke to Qiao Jiao who was sitting in front of the dressing table: "Did you just get up?"

"Well...at this time, shouldn't you be with Lu Xi? Why did you remember to call me?"

"As long as you are willing to answer my phone calls, I will call you once a day."

Qiao Jiao sneered: "Are you enjoying this feeling? With Lu Xi by your side, I can also connect thousands of miles away."

"I don't enjoy this feeling at all, I just miss you... Moreover, you don't have to overly mythical about my fate with Lu Xi. She has been taken away by Qin Minhong, who said she was going to fill her spot to participate in a satellite TV station's Spring Festival Gala. .”

Qiao Jiao stopped what she was doing, then looked at me on the phone screen, and after a while she replied: "Can she listen to Qin Minhong at this time?"

"She's really gone."

Qiao Jiao sighed and said, "She is really gone, and I really can't go back...so, God is quite fair."

Maybe because I had been sitting for too long that day, I suddenly felt a little tired, so I lay down heavily on the bed, and then looked up at Qiao Jiao on the screen... Qiao Jiao finally stopped talking about Lu Xi to me, and we chatted some more. Regarding the scenic area, Heizu contacted Qiao Jiao, so she now also knows about the unprecedented grand occasion of the entire scenic area.

As we chatted, Qiao Jiao let out an exclamation. I asked her what was wrong, and she told me that she had gotten a ticket that she could cancel tomorrow afternoon...

I also became nervous. If she could successfully fill the role, it would mean that she would still have the opportunity to spend the upcoming New Year's Eve with me. It was at this time that I suddenly felt that the balance of fate was already tilting towards me and Qiao. The so-called fate is an unreliable statement, so everything happens by chance.
