Secret Love · Orange Raw Huainan

Chapter 104 Part Two: The Moon at that Time (2)
It's like repeating that year.She has long been used to the free life in college, seeing the outside world, she can no longer be trapped in a small classroom, but throws herself into the trap, and becomes a small high school student again, curled up in the corner of the crowded classroom every day , Watching the group of young students childishly staged battles and joys and sorrows, sneering at others, sneering at themselves, like outcasts thrown down by two worlds at the same time.

"It's you."

Ding Shuijing came back to her senses and saw Chen Jing in the mirror, standing at the bottom of two steps behind her, wearing a loose linen dress, looking at her with a peaceful smile.

Ding Shuijing quickly calmed down, took a deep breath, and turned around with an innocent look on her face.

"Sister," she smiled politely, "Why are you here?"

Chen Jing didn't expect her to beat her up, she was stunned, and then continued to smile and said: "My husband and his company are holding an event in this museum today."

Ding Shuijing blinked and grabbed her schoolbag tightly, her heartbeat was so loud that she couldn't even hear the voices downstairs.

"Oh, are they the organizer?" She looked at the sparse audience downstairs, "My classmate gave me the ticket, come and order. Then I'm leaving." When she passed by, Chen Jing grabbed her and said : "If you have nothing urgent, just chat with me."

Ding Shuijing struggled for a moment in her heart, and suddenly relaxed.

Stretching her head is also a knife, and shrinking her head is also a knife. Today God grabbed her messy hair and could not allow her to shrink her head.

With a calmness that was almost farewell, she nodded and asked, "What do you want to talk about?"

The weather was not good, the scorching sun at noon was quickly covered by dark clouds, the surface of the lake was covered with misty gray, and the boundaries between the water surface and the distant mountains were blurred, which made people feel uncomfortable for no reason.

She walked to the lake with Chen Jing and sat down. Chen Jing walked slowly and carefully, gently supporting her waist, so she also cooperated, and the corners of her mouth gradually raised, evoking a self-deprecating smile.

"Let me go buy a drink," Ding Shuijing said, "I won't buy you a coloring blend, how about mineral water? It's lukewarm."

Chen Jing looked at her slightly in surprise.Ding Shuijing moved her lips to ask something, but she held back, turned her head and ran away.

She came back soon, passed the water to Chen Jing, unscrewed a bottle of lemon tea by herself, and poured it down with her head raised.

After the first sip, she realized that she was really thirsty.

Chen Jing didn't drink, and kept looking at her with a smile, expressively, without saying a word.Ding Shuijing suddenly felt that this kind of maternal smile and condescending look made her very irritable, and turned her head to look back: "Don't you dare to drink? I haven't poisoned."

Chen Jing smiled again, and this time her smile made her even more angry. A clear line of words was written on the corners of her eyes and brows: "Don't care about the little girl."

Ding Shuijing screwed on the bottle cap and stood up: "If you have nothing to say, I will leave. I was ignorant in college and offended you, and I apologized. You don't need to hold on like this."

Chen Jing suddenly reached out and grabbed her arm: "I didn't laugh at you. Don't get excited, talk to me."

Ding Shuijing didn't dare to shake her off, fearing that she would really hurt Chen Jing if she moved too much.

"Did you hear that I filed for divorce?" Chen Jing asked calmly.

Ding Shuijing shook her head: "How do I know this?"

Chen Jing: "Last week, you entered my space and forgot to delete the visitor record."

Ding Shuijing turned her face away from Chen Jing, trying her best to hide her embarrassment.

"Actually, I've been secretly watching your progress." Chen Jing patted her arm, "You have had a wonderful life these past few years! I saw many of your sculptures, and you participated in exhibitions, and you traveled. Photos, have you been to all over the world? That’s great.”

The sincerity in the tone did not seem to be fake, Ding Shuijing squinted at Chen Jing, wanting to see a flaw, her eyes gradually moved down to Chen Jing's flat belly.

Chen Jing lowered her head, stroked her lower abdomen habitually again, and after a long silence, she said slowly again: "I know, you hold your breath and think that Luo Yang married me because of responsibility, but in fact he likes It's you, isn't it? When you came to find me, although you were very polite, you despised me so much inside and out, and you just felt that I was threatening him with a sense of responsibility. "

Ding Shuijing really felt sad at this moment, more than the unconvinced buried in her heart was expressed so straightforwardly and simply, it sounded so childish.

"Senior sister, you misunderstood. I was young and ignorant, domineering, and impolite, please forgive me," she lowered her eyes lightly, but her tone became tougher, "But it has been so long in the past, and you still repeat it today. Bring it up, what do you want to do?"

Ding Shuijing paused, and looked directly into Chen Jing's eyes: "Besides, it is impossible for a person to never make mistakes forever, senior sister, what do you think?"

Chen Jing's expression finally froze.

Ten days ago, Ding Shuijing was sitting on the comfortable leather sofa in the VIP area blowing the air-conditioning, while flipping through the new book presented to everyone by the professor in the department, while waiting quietly for her cousin to get off work.The nearby Korean ginseng chicken soup shop was very popular. Ding Shuijing set a spot for six o'clock, and it was already five fifty, and her cousin still didn't intend to go upstairs to find her.

Hearing the sound of arguing in the distance, Ding Shuijing ran to the guardrail on the second floor and poked her head out to look at the hall downstairs. She saw her cousin running left and right from the line of display cars to the man who was roaring at the door. With a flustered look on his face, he tapped his high-heeled shoes, as if he was beating the man's anger.

Ding Shuijing took a closer look, and found that the man who was angry was actually a senior brother.

When Ding Shuijing entered the Academy of Fine Arts, the big brother was already a senior.Everyone respectfully called him a big brother, not because of his outstanding talent, but because he blazed a trail for all the students from ordinary families and mediocre talents in the Academy of Fine Arts.The big brother was admitted to the Academy of Fine Arts to find a speculative way out for his poor cultural grades. He didn't plan to study art since he entered school. Instead, he used his appearance and eloquence to sneak into the student union, and got involved with some mysterious leather bag companies one after another. Contracting the younger brothers and younger sisters to go out to do private work and earn a lot of money.

After each graduation of the sculpture class, there are at most two or three people who will continue to ponder the works, and the rest will be married and the front desk will be the front desk.The big brother is the most solid backing for this group of art students who are destined not to become artists.When people from different departments of the Academy of Fine Arts meet for the first time and have nothing to talk about, they always talk about the big brother.Ding Shuijing and her roommate also took over the senior brother's private work, including graphic design, road show arrangement, and everything.The eldest brother is handsome and slick, knowledgeable and interesting, and has always been popular with school girls.He is like Ding Shuijing in high school.It's just that the eldest brother has gone one step further than her, and he has actually made money from these relationships.

But who would have thought that such a gentle and decent elder brother would have such a moment of frustration.

The cousin explained something to the elder brother in a soft voice, nodding and bowing.The senior brother listened for a while, and continued to yell angrily: "I don't need you to explain it to me again! It's unreasonable enough for an ordinary employee to tell me that, and you, an accident supervisor, still solve the problem like this, so I want you to come here What is the use!"

Ding Shuijing thought for a while, grabbed the messenger bag on the sofa, and ran down the glass stairs. Just halfway through the run, they heard their dispute escalate.

"Mr. He, listen to me. In your case, the fixed loss amount exceeds 5000 yuan. The insurance company insists on reporting to the head office, and we can't interfere. Besides, the damage to your car does have a certain audit risk. Know that if only the wheel hub and tire are damaged alone, the insurance company is exempt from liability.”

"Of course I know, but now I didn't damage the wheel hub alone! My brake baffle was broken together! Of course, I have to pay for this situation. What else can the insurance company say? Isn't it because of you?"

Ding Shuijing has never seen senior brother get angry like this.In my impression, this man is always smiling, who can take shortcuts by taking advantage of his opportunities and stuffing Zhonghua, how could he be so anxious to go to war?

"The replacement price of the brake baffle is only 500 yuan. For a small part of 500 yuan, and 2 yuan for two wheels, it is not surprising that the insurance company will suspect that you pulled the brake baffle yourself with pliers. Of course, our 4S store will issue a fair test report, so you can rest assured. But Mr. He, you also have to understand that we cannot guarantee the insurance company's audit results..." The cousin still explained in a low voice , but the eldest brother has already jumped into a rage.

"Damn, do you think I'm stupid? I can repair the car today, but I have to report it to the head office, and it will take five working days for me? This broken county town is in the wilderness, so let me stay here for a week and wait for you Audit? Isn’t the insurance company just not reconciled? This is a new car! I tossed a new wheel hub and broke it to cheat the insurance? I’m fucking full, am I!”

Ding Shuijing couldn't watch anymore, so she sprinted a few steps down to the first floor.

"Cousin, big brother!"

She introduced the two parties in a few words, and smiled and persuaded the elder brother to have something to say, and the cousin will try her best to deal with the problem for his car.The elder brother squeezed out a smile with an extremely unnatural expression, and looked back at the gate frequently, not knowing what he was waiting for.

"We don't know when we bought the Land Rover. Which business made a lot of money?" Ding Shuijing teased him with a smile.

The elder brother gave an awkward "hmm" and didn't reply.Ding Shuijing's cousin breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to continue persuading her, when suddenly, a female voice sounded from behind them: "Jia Chen, what did they say?"

Ding Shuijing raised her eyes slowly, looking at the woman who stretched her arms around the senior brother's waist affectionately.The setting sun behind her stretched her shadow very long, until it reached Ding Shuijing's feet.

"Sister, long time no see." She said with a smile.

Ding Shuijing took a deep breath, as if trying to absorb the thin mist on the distant lake into her chest.

"Later, my cousin told me that the owner of that car was named Luoyang, with a Beijing license plate. It was a coincidence that I went to a neighboring city for a day, and I ran into you. You must have lied to Luoyang about your whereabouts that day. Right? He didn't know that you were driving his car to go sightseeing in the mountains, right? There was such a troublesome car accident during the sneaky excursion, no wonder the senior brother was so anxious at that time."

Chen Jing's face was as sinking as water, both hands were stroking her belly, and she listened patiently.

"So, you came to complain to Luoyang in person today?" He was as gentle as Chen Jing, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

"If you hadn't been bringing up old things all the time, I wouldn't have brought this up to provoke you. What's more, it's a matter between you husband and wife. When will I, an outsider, talk to Luoyang? I don't hate it that much." Ding Shuijing stood up abruptly .

She just wanted to see him, that's all.She didn't do anything, and she didn't know how to do anything, but when there was a glimmer of light in the future, no one could blame her impulsiveness and excitement.However, in front of Chen Jing, the years of secretly peeping had changed, which made her feel extremely ashamed.

"Do you think I'm sorry for Luoyang?" Chen Jing asked softly.

"I'll say it again, it's your husband and wife's business." Ding Shuijing said coldly.

"Ding Shuijing, stop pretending, okay? You know in your heart that you ruined my life."

For many years, this was the first time that Chen Jing had accused her clearly.

Ding Shuijing turned around in surprise.Chen Jing's eyes were on the lake.

"Ding Shuijing, I don't want to live with your time bomb anymore."

Chen Jing has always believed that there are many kinds of love in the world.Love at first sight in the movie is naturally a kind of love, but the relationship between her and Luoyang is not different.

"You are a little girl, you know little, and you are very self-righteous. It doesn't matter if you don't understand. Besides, you are not the first girl who rushed to me to protest. I have long been used to it."

When Chen Jing spoke, her eyes never left the lake, as if the source of courage was hidden in the bottom of the unfathomable water.

"When there were some rumors between us in high school, some girls felt that I was not good enough for Luoyang, and belittled me openly and secretly. They didn't stop until I was with him. The younger sisters who went on and on in college, Never put me in the eye. Of course, Luoyang has never been ambiguous with them. No one can fault him for this. You can’t just say that RMB is guilty because everyone wants to rob a bank, right?
"Luoyang would teach them a lesson in private and ask me for justice, but when he wanted to explain or apologize to me face to face, I always avoided him, interrupted, changed the subject, and never said a word of dissatisfaction or praise He said a word.

"Do you wonder why? A little girl like you must make a big fuss hypocritically, right? But I won't. The more you make a fuss, the more you prove your weakness. Anyway, what I have always cared about is that the relationship between two people If you have true feelings, you don't need to talk too much.

"But the first time I saw you and Luoyang in class together, I felt something was wrong."

Chen Jing didn't continue talking, like a memoir, it was torn to pieces when it reached the most critical part.

Ding Shuijing couldn't open her mouth to ask this paragraph.

"All the girls before came to me and said that I was not good enough for Luoyang. Only you told me that Luoyang doesn't love me, Luoyang doesn't love me."

Chen Jing muttered to herself, her voice trembling slightly.

The word "I'm sorry" was stuck in Ding Shuijing's throat, and she knew it would be as pale and ethereal as the fog on the lake.

"Thank you for letting me know what it's like to be in love in Luoyang," Chen Jing finally turned to look at Ding Shuijing, "Of course, I fell in love myself later. I didn't do anything, no betrayal, no promises, Just moved, just like him."

Chen Jing tilted her head and smiled, looking very happy.

"He and I are finally even."

Ding Shuijing sat alone on the bench by the lake until dark.

You can’t see the sunset on a cloudy day, but the clouds gradually dispersed at night, and they are scattered in the clear night sky, and the outline is illuminated by the moonlight.

It was the same moonlight again.In my memory, the moonlight on the Qingxi River in the border town covered this moment. For a moment, Ding Shuijing was suddenly in a trance, holding the empty lemon teacup in her hand, as if she could see Luoyang holding two full cups of lemon tea in her hand when she turned her head. Run across the street towards her.

She turned around hesitantly, and saw the open door of the art gallery behind her, and the orange light poured on the floor tiles at the door, forming a warm circular embrace.

Ding Shuijing really saw Luoyang, far away, and said goodbye to his colleagues at the door with a smile.

Five years had passed, and she could still recognize him at a glance.White shirt and trousers, a suit jacket draped over the shoulders, the sleeves rolled up, as if finally relaxed, a little decadent and a little naughty.

Her eyes were blurred.

This man is going to be a father.

Seeing Chen Jing walking slowly in the art gallery, she realized that she was pregnant.She handed over a bottle of warm mineral water, and also her last bit of hope.

Does Chen Jing really like senior brother, or is it just for revenge on Luoyang?
Ding Shuijing didn't ask, she believed that Chen Jing herself might not be able to explain clearly.

Life never has a clear boundary, and all bottom lines are covered with gradients.

She only remembered Chen Jing saying softly that the big brother actually had a hard life. He loves art, but he has no talent, so he can only bite the bullet every day to socialize.He's not a slick guy, really not.

"Actually, you and Luoyang are very similar. You are all easy-going people, we are not. Even if you are in the same boat." Chen Jing stood up, and she was used to holding her waist with her hands before she showed her bosom.

For a moment, malice rose, and Ding Shuijing wanted to ask, "Is the child really from Luoyang?"
Everyone has malice, but he can still control it in the black box of his heart, and he can be regarded as a good person.

She is actually a good person herself, Ding Shuijing smiled wryly.

She remembered the faint brilliance on Chen Jing's face when she left, it was the calmness of a mother, completely different from the forbearance she had as a girlfriend in Luoyang.

Chen Jing caressed her lower abdomen and said: "It's been two months, and it was only checked out yesterday afternoon. Luoyang doesn't know yet, so I plan to tell him today. I wanted to propose a divorce, but there was such an accident. I think This is an omen, let the past let it pass."

Ding Shuijing watched her go away with a smile, and finally said: "Well, he will be happy."

The colleague's car gradually drove away, and the taillights looked like the red eyes of a beast at the end of the path.Ding Shuijing saw Luoyang lighting a cigarette, and took out her mobile phone from her trouser pocket.

Half a minute later, the phone in Ding Shuijing's pocket vibrated.

She stood by the lake embankment and didn't pick it up for a long time. She watched Chen Jing approach from behind Luoyang from a distance, and gently hugged Luoyang from behind.

Surprised, Luo Yang immediately dropped the cigarette butt and stamped it out with his foot, then turned to support Chen Jing.

During the long 1 minute, Ding Shuijing smiled, watched Chen Jing cry and tell, and watched Luo Yang hug her back tightly with joy. Under the warm light of the art museum, another human comedy appeared.

Ding Shuijing suddenly remembered the night five years ago, she walked along the lake embankment and said: "Cui Cui knows in her heart that that person may never come, maybe he will come back tomorrow."

But Luo Yang said: "What a pity, a little girl, why bother to wait her whole life for someone who doesn't know if she will come back."

Why bother.

Ding Shuijing, why bother.

Before dropping out of school and retaking the exam, she asked Luoyang one last question-is this kind of life interesting?

Desperately extinguishing the flame in my heart, sacrificing a short and precious life to rules and helplessness... Will I not be reconciled to living my life like this?

Luo Yang didn't answer her at that time.

At this moment, Ding Shuijing looked at her lover who was embracing intimately in front of the art gallery, and finally believed that everything was a misunderstanding.

It was she who mistakenly thought that she had glimpsed the erotic fire in his heart, and that they were the same kind.

Later, he chose to put out the fire by himself.

Perhaps it was because Chen Jing appeared too timely that Luoyang never had a chance to hang up the phone; maybe she was just so excited that she forgot about the call.Ding Shuijing didn't hesitate, she reached out and hung up on her own initiative.

She hid in the dark shadow of the tree, looking up at the moon.

The moon behind the thin clouds is the same moon as before.

Leave the world to them, she only wants this round of the moon.

Ding Shuijing strode away and never looked back.
