i'm not a bad man

Chapter 517 disturbed my mood

Because the exchange between Ren Ran and I involved Xiao Cheng and Chang Yuli, it was inevitably a bit sensitive, so I avoided Zuo Xiaowei and only returned a call to Ren Ran after taking the elevator downstairs.

It was still raining, so I walked in the rain to the convenience store at the end of the long street. I planned to use the time while I was on the phone to walk to the convenience store and buy another pack of cigarettes. I have been tired of Liqun cigarettes recently. I want to change my taste; I heard that BJ has the most complete range of Zhongnanhai cigarettes. I want to try Zhongnanhai (full BJ) which costs 100 yuan a pack.

People always want to try new things, and this is the first time in my life that I have bought such expensive cigarettes.

……

A moment after the call was put through, Ren Ran finally answered. I heard the sound of running water and she seemed to be washing up. I asked her first: "Sister Ran, what time is the flight tomorrow?"

"There is a direct flight from Qingdao to Phuket, so there is no need to rush. We booked a flight at 07pm and we will be there at 30:[-]pm."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

"Do you need to be so polite to me?"

"I'm not being polite. This matter is really hard. After all, it has to go back and forth."

"Speaking of going back and forth, I'm really hesitant about whether to come back to attend Qiao Jiao's wedding... I had a friend who just informed me today that he was going to have a wedding on Phuket Island. The time coincides with Qiao Jiao is on the same day... In terms of relationship, I am definitely closer to this friend. After all, we have known each other for more than ten years, but I agreed to Qiao Jiao first."

I evaded the important points and echoed: "If we can make it on the same day, it means that it is a good day."

"It's such a good day. Many people choose that day to get married..." After a pause, Ren Ran continued: "When I met Qiao Jiao today, I gave her the gift money and gifts and explained the situation. There is a possibility that she will not come back to attend her wedding... She was in a daze and even told me that if her wedding had been delayed a day, she would not have bumped into that friend of mine... This was revealed inadvertently It’s just an escape mentality. The wedding is always on the best day. How can she expect to be one day late just because I can attend it? Moreover, I am not such an important friend, so this is her own resistance to this. Something happened...the wedding day was approaching, and she began to be afraid, afraid of entering marriage life with that person."

After a period of silence, I finally replied: "Now that the matter has come to this, why are you still telling me this?"

"Just think that I am overly sympathetic. After all, I am a divorced woman. I know what it is like to be in an unhappy marriage... So, this is the real reason for my hesitation. If possible, I still want to Come back and see if there will be any changes in Qiao Jiao's wedding?... In my eyes, she has always been a woman who dares to love and hate, and completely obeys her heart. She should not blindly walk into such a period of time when she has no ability at all. Be sure to have a happy married life."

"I think you are more worried about the world being in chaos."

"Han Chao, what you said is really irresponsible at all. I can tell you clearly that I regret my previous marriage. For any woman, this is a disgraceful experience. In the future, If you meet someone you love, you will feel inferior to some extent; for Qiao Jiao, it's the same, as soon as she gets married, some things can't be turned back."

"But Sister Ran, do you remember that before this, you and I praised this marriage, saying that it was a perfect match, a match made in heaven."

"At the time, I didn't know she was so resistant."

While I was talking, I had already reached the end of this long street. My clothes were soaked by the rain, so much so that a chill hit my skin. This chill forced me to think of what I had experienced with Qiao Jiao before. Everything; to this day, when I think back, my heart is still filled with a kind of warmth. The mixture of cold and warm makes me feel more awake, and then I ask myself: Do I really want to watch Qiao Jiao walk into a place with no turning back with such a mentality? Is it possible to walk away from married life?
The countdown to her wedding with that man has begun.

……

I also fell into an extremely trance-like state. When I came back to my senses, I found that the call between myself and Ren Ran had been interrupted, but I couldn't remember whether it was me or Ren Ran who had hung up the phone.

I just walked into the convenience store in a daze, and then looked at the clerk in a daze, but I couldn't remember the name of the cigarette I wanted to buy.

The clerk finally asked me: "Hello, do you want to buy something?"

"I want... I want to buy a pack of cigarettes." "What cigarettes do you want to buy?"

"I suddenly can't remember the name..."

The clerk looked at me in surprise, which made me a little embarrassed, so he added: "It's a type of Zhongnanhai cigarettes, and it costs 100 yuan a pack."

"Zhongnanhai cigarettes, 100 yuan a pack?..." The clerk thought for a moment, then took a pack of cigarettes off the shelf and said to me, "Can you see if it's this kind of Zhongnanhai (super first-rate)?"

"It seems... right."

The clerk handed the cigarettes to me, and when I paid, she said to me: "It shouldn't be wrong. In our store, there are only a few kinds of cigarettes that cost 100 yuan a pack, plus other brands." .”

"That shouldn't be wrong."

I smiled and finally took the pack of cigarettes from the clerk.

……

I unpacked the cigarette box, lit one, and walked to my apartment. When I was about to reach the gate of the community, I suddenly remembered that what I wanted to buy was not this kind of cigarette at all. What I wanted was Zhongnanhai ( Fully open BJ).

I subconsciously looked back in the direction of the convenience store, but I could no longer find the persistence in my heart. I must stick to my original intention and buy a pack of full BJ.

So, I put this pack of cigarettes, which tasted good but were not that satisfactory, back in my pocket.

……

When I opened the door of the house, Zuo Xiaowei hadn't left yet. She was sitting next to the pile of bricks, piecing together, as if she wouldn't give up until she finished the work that night. I sat down next to her and looked at her like this. She was already He was very skilled and quickly put together the rear wing of the car.

"where did you go?"

She spoke suddenly, which made me stunned for a moment before I replied: "I went out and bought a pack of cigarettes."

"Isn't there still half a pack of cigarettes on the coffee table?"

"I suddenly wanted to change my taste...but I don't know what happened. When I got to the convenience store, I couldn't remember the name of the cigarette I wanted to smoke. I didn't remember until I was almost at the door of my house...In the end, I made do." Follow me Weixin public account: ***, you can view the latest chapters!
After saying that, with helplessness, I took out the pack of cigarettes I just bought from my pocket, and then lit another one.

Zuo Xiaowei then put down the blocks in her hand and looked at me. When she spoke again, she had already changed the subject. She said to me: "Just now when you went out to buy cigarettes, Qin Minhong called me... She said, the groom I want to make this wedding more grand, so I hope that I can sing two songs at their wedding as a singer; not only me, Qin Minhong also invited some other popular singers, as well as people in the film and television industry Celebrity...it can be seen that the groom likes the bride very much, and he is trying his best to give the bride an unforgettable and difficult-to-replicate wedding."

When both Ren Ran and Zuo Xiaowei talked about Qiao Jiao and Lu Nai's wedding that night, the pressure in my heart became even more intense. One of the reasons why I came to BJ was to hope that after being far away, I could I deal with it in a daze, I don’t want to know the importance the groom attaches to the bride, let alone the inner conflicts of the bride...

However, these news still reached my ears through different channels, which disturbed my mood.
