me and my affordable man

Chapter 4

He thought in his heart that someone who could send this text message must be young, so he shouldn't be called a man, it's better to be called a boy, would a man describe his feelings so easily?The thing has already happened and is over, any excuses and regrets are meaningless, not to mention that it is better to be silent if you tell your feelings to the whole world so heartbreakingly.

1
As a result, it was the weekend, and just as He Xiaojun was about to pack up and leave work, Feng Zhihao's call came.

During working hours, her mobile phone was set to vibrate. After seeing the incoming call number, she held the phone stiffly for a long time without pressing it. Just looking at the string of numbers, she almost saw through the screen.

After leaving his apartment that day, she has always refused to contact him again. Everything has become very clear. All she got in exchange for the past few years was nothing!what else?Your boyfriend who has been in love for three years just refuses to marry you. Is it true that you will cry, make trouble, and hang yourself?People need face and trees need skin, she can't do it.

We are all adults, knocking out teeth and swallowing blood, all the bitter fruits are due to the choices we make, being cheated is like stepping on dog shit, if you can bear it, you can keep silent if you can bear it, the less people know, the better, in the end It’s so good that I even pretend that nothing happened to me, why bother to show my grief and indignation in front of others, and I deserve to be ridiculed by others for the rest of my life.

The phone was still vibrating in the palm of my hand, and finally stopped abruptly, and suddenly there was another short vibration, it was a text message, it was still Feng Zhihao, only one sentence.

"Jun, I want to see you."

She closed her eyes, picked up her bag, turned and walked out.

As soon as she walked to the front desk, she was stopped. Linda greeted her with the phone in her ear, "Xiao Jun, the security guard downstairs called you and said that someone is waiting downstairs and told you to get down quickly. The car can't stop for too long." .”

He Xiaojun was taken aback, Linda had already put down the phone, and when she looked at her, there was some incomprehensible meaning in her eyes, but everyone is skilled in doing things, and those inexplicable things in her eyes just flashed away.

He Xiaojun didn't see it, and didn't have time to pay attention when she saw it. After listening to Linda's words, she was stunned for a moment, and then there were mixed feelings in her heart.

There are people waiting downstairs, who will wait for her?Besides Feng Zhihao, who else would wait for her?

During the three years of dating, Feng Zhihao had never parked his car downstairs in her company in a fair manner, and even dialed the security phone number to the front desk of the company in such a way. She once complained about it, but she didn't say it out loud.

Although she doesn't like to tell the world every time a man picks up a woman, at least don't let her feel that the relationship between the two will always be shameful.

Unexpectedly, today, when they came to the end of the mountain, Feng Zhihao actually changed his temper and made such a move.

Before he could think, the phone in his hand started vibrating again.

It was still Feng Zhihao, she took a breath, and finally accepted.

Before Feng Zhihao spoke, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Xiao Jun, you finally answered the phone."

She hadn't heard his voice for several weeks, and she was so distraught that she couldn't speak, and she just held the phone in silence.

I can't blame her for being awkward. He Xiaojun's parents are dual workers. She was brought up by her grandmother. Even if you are wronged, you can't do the set of swearing, scolding, asking the bottom line, or even crying. The only way to express anger is silence and indifference, and therefore, it has never been valued by others.

Unable to hear He Xiaojun's answer, Feng Zhihao slowed down his voice and continued, "I'm waiting for you at your company right now, can you come down?"

His voice was very low, and there was even a hint of begging for mercy. He Xiaojun is a representative figure who prefers softness to toughness. After listening to it, he felt a certain part of his chest collapsed, hanging empty and uncomfortable, and couldn't help sighing. .

She didn't stop when she was listening to the phone. The company floor was not high, and she didn't want to talk to Feng Zhihao in the elevator in full view. The last thing she walked was the stairs, where there was no one around her. She wanted to speak impulsively. Ask him what else to say, and want to say that her mind will not change, if everything is still back to the original point, please raise your hand.

These words were all around her mouth, but she didn't say a word in the end, let's talk about it, she said to herself one last sentence, three years of relationship, she is not a saint, she is just a mortal, can't do it Flick the sleeves, when you turn around, the clouds are light and the wind is light, and you have to disperse clearly.

It was hot, and there was plenty of air-conditioning in the building, but the temperature in the stairwell was still very high. After she closed the phone, she walked faster and faster, and finally reached the ground floor. The side door was tight. She pushed it open, and the hall was cool It's the time to get off work, and there are countless people in a hurry. She turned her head to look outside the gate. There are many cars lined up. The sunlight is still strong, reflecting everywhere on the metal, and she only feels blurred in her eyes. .

There were a lot of people coming in and out, the door was busy, when He Xiaojun was about to walk out the door, he almost bumped into someone, stopped to apologize, but looked up and was suddenly stunned, the man in front of her was acquainted, it turned out to be Chen Qizhong.

2
Chen Qizhong is dressed very simply today, with a dark T-shirt and jeans, a bag slung over his shoulder, and sneakers under his feet. He is very young. He was a little taken aback when he saw her attire. The planning department is not too strict about the dress code. He Xiaojun wears it during working hours. The dress has always been comfortable and neat. The white windbreaker dress is tied with a belt, and the wide skirt is blown by the wind, making her even more exquisite and delicate. Naturally, it is very different from the glittering golden dress last time.

After being taken aback for a moment, he smiled at her again, showing his white teeth, with a very refreshing smile, and called her name.

"He Xiaojun."

She responded, not understanding why he appeared here, and she didn't know whether to greet him or leave.

He glanced at the expression on her face, frowned slightly, and simply explained, "I'm here to pick you up. Everyone is singing at night. I called your phone just now and the line is busy. Didn't Xiao Cai and Meimei tell you?"

Sing?She almost forgot, He Xiaojun frowned, "Meimei didn't say you would come to pick me up, when did you come?"

He was a little embarrassed, but he still answered her, "Just arrived, there are many people today, I drove everyone here with me, they have already gone, I think your company is not far away, it is not convenient to take a taxi at this time, so come here I'll pick you up." After speaking, he pointed to the door.

The well-regulated Excelle sedan was parked at the gate, occupying a small half of the driveway, which slowed down the traffic behind and caused a bit of a traffic jam.

He Xiaojun also felt blocked, and the complex emotions that arose in her heart just now turned into hard rocks with sharp edges and corners, piled up on the top of her heart one by one, making her breathless, looking at his car, she just felt ridiculous.

"Is this your car?"

He nodded, then shook his head, "The company provided it, and I haven't bought a car yet."

If the company didn't provide him with a car, he didn't plan to buy it. He lives close to the company. He used to take the subway to and from get off work. Overtime transportation expenses can be reimbursed. He is a bachelor and rarely goes out on holidays, so he doesn't think so. It is necessary to buy a car. In Shanghai, wherever you drive, you must be prepared to enter the open-air parking lot. It is still the kind that does not allow you to move. If it is not for everyone to come out together today, he would rather take the subway.

She didn't respond, she just took a breath and said, "Did you call our front desk just now?"

There were many people at the door, so he took her out and explained, "It wasn't me, it was the security guard just now. I said he was here to pick you up, so he went to make a call."

He was talking about the security guard Lao Wang, who was standing at the other end of the driveway commanding order, while another security guard, Xiao Zhang, looked at the gate inexplicably.

"Hey, why did you let that car stop at the door? It's all blocked."

"That man came to pick up He Xiaojun, you know? He Xiaojun on the fifth floor."

"The one who always comes in early and leaves late? You know, she's pretty and no one chases after her."

"No one is chasing this?"

"Oh, what's the point of driving an Excelle? Those beautiful girls usually look up when they walk, how can they be considered to drive an Excelle, they must be Mercedes-Benz and BMW."

"Don't look down on them, Kaiyue is chasing after the most beautiful girl here, that's awesome." The security guard chuckled, and glanced at Chen Qizhong from a distance, the meaning in his eyes was obvious: brother, it's a man!come on.

How did he know what the big security guard was thinking, he didn't expect that Chen Qizhong was waiting at the door instead of Feng Zhihao, He Xiaojun was confused for a moment, and sad in his heart, he stood by his car and apologized without thinking.

"I'm sorry, I have something to deal with all of a sudden, why don't you go first, I'll call Meimei later." After speaking, she turned and left.

"He Xiaojun."

Chen Qizhong behind him called her, He Xiaojun paused and looked back at him.

"Are you in a hurry? Where are you going? I'll see you off." He looked at her in the sun and asked seriously.

She shook her head hastily, "No, it's nearby."

He thought for a while, then said, "I'll wait for you, let's go together."

Not knowing why he was so persistent, He Xiaojun was at a loss for a moment, and without answering, he turned his head to look in another direction.

Chen Qizhong also followed her gaze to look over there, there were cars passing by, and he didn't know what she was looking at.

He Xiaojun's voice was heard next to his ear, very softly, he just said, "That's fine, then wait a moment."

Feng Zhihao didn't see what happened at the door.

He parked his car in a side alley, the same as every time in the past, except that every time in the past He Xiaojun would appear next to his car very quickly, but this time, he waited in the car for a long time.

His time is precious, and he seldom waits for such a long time, especially seldom waits for a woman to wait for such a long time. Living.

He Xiaojun left angrily that night, but he didn't catch up. In fact, he was in the worst mood that day. What exactly does He Xiaojun want?He knew, but he knew even more that he couldn't give it.

How to give?In order to marry her, break up with the family?Give up the marriage contract with Wen Xin, and destroy those cooperation projects between my family and the Wen family by the way?
It is true that a marriage with only money and no love is not perfect, but is a marriage without money and only love perfect?joke!

Although he is not the second-generation ancestor who only spends money and does nothing to produce, his business is the family business. Without this big tree behind him, what can he do?
Whether it is trading industry or capital games, any field needs financial support. He has never been an office worker from [-] to [-], and he can't imagine that kind of life at all. Is it possible that He Xiaojun wants him to be like her, every morning? Get up and go straight to the company, fight with a group of mediocre white-collar workers for a meager salary, and return to the narrow birdcage-like apartment at night exhausted, watching TV to pass the rest of the time?
Just imagining this kind of life makes him shudder, not to mention that one day, will He Xiaojun still love him?
Women keep saying that it is for love, but what do they love?Is it his big deal?Famous cars and mansions?Or the enjoyment of being rich and honored with him?Without all these, would he still be the man in her heart?

Or maybe He Xiaojun is a different kind of woman, she is really the kind of woman who would feel that love is perfect if two people eat a bowl of five yuan beef noodles. In the past two years, she has been very indifferent to all the extravagant gifts he sent, not because he rarely reminded her Wearing clothes, he expressly hinted that she had asked her to resign countless times but turned a deaf ear to it, and she continued to work harder and harder. There was only one thing she was obsessed with, which was getting married. She was afraid that he would be overwhelmed, and even offered to sign a property agreement, not wanting a penny from his family. of.

But no matter what she does, the outcome will be the same. His family is a businessman, and everything has to be weighed against the value of input and output. His marriage contract with Wen Xin will not only cause hidden dangers of property leakage, but also double his own strength. business, who would give up?

After making a big circle and still returning to the dead end, Feng Zhihao had a headache.

He has done his best, as long as she is willing to compromise, how can he satisfy her, what else does she want?This would have changed other women, and he believed that their reactions would be ecstatic and accepted, but He Xiaojun was so angry.

He Xiaojun has refused to contact him these days. He also knows that this is her most angry expression. At first, he wanted her to calm down for a few days, and hoped that she would be able to recognize the reality after she calmed down. He didn't expect her to hold back for a long time. , There was no news for a whole week, his phone calls and text messages all fell into the sea, without a single reply, and finally he couldn't wait any longer and came to her directly.

3
The car door slammed softly, and Feng Zhihao saw He Xiaojun as soon as he turned his head. This is the place where they often meet. The alley is very narrow, and there are hardly any people walking around. The trees on both sides are full of shade. It is dark late in April, and there is still sunshine at this point , the orange-red sunset fell on her face through the shadows of the mottled trees, shining brightly.

All the entanglements in his mind before were thrown out of the sky, he reached out to push the door, then grabbed her wrist, and pulled her into the car.

He Xiaojun was about to speak, but at this moment, he was caught off guard, and he pulled her in. She has a small frame, but she is not too thin. Grabbing her wrist is like holding a cotton candy. It is soft and enjoyable. Feng Zhihao suddenly found that I missed this feeling so much, I couldn't help but retract my five fingers again.

Her words were all blocked by his movements, she just pulled her arms back and let out a low cry.

Holding her wrist in his hand, the feeling of skin-to-skin contact made him feel good. At this moment, he just looked at her and smiled, "What's wrong?"

She also looked at him, reflecting light, at such a close distance, he actually felt that his eyes were blurred, and he couldn't see the expression in her eyes clearly, and unconsciously turned his head and looked away.

It was a hot day, and He Xiaojun's hair was tied up, his white neck was exposed, because he was pulled in, his body was a little slanted, the collar of the shirt near him was bent, and a small black mole was looming deep in the neck.

There was plenty of air-conditioning in the car, but he suddenly felt hot. He couldn't help but lowered his head and kissed her on the side of the neck.

He Xiaojun flinched suddenly, his touch is of course the one she is most familiar with, but now she is like a hedgehog, curled up to fight him, clutching her neck, her voice became cold, "Don't do this, I have Something to say."

"What do you want to say?" He raised his head and asked again with a smile, "Can we talk about it when we go back?"

Someone passed by, she broke away from his hand, with a serious expression, he was chilled by her look, and slowly sat up straight.

In front of her was the face of a familiar man, rich and well-off. Feng Zhihao was young and handsome, exuding an aura of nobility, and it was even more pleasing to the eye when viewed from a close distance. But for the first time, she felt resistance. The car at the front door—the one that had disappointed her so much!

He looked at her for a long time, and finally sighed, "Xiao Jun, why can't you figure it out?"

He Xiaojun took a deep breath, feeling that all his torment in the past two years had turned into a sneer, and rushed towards him from all directions with baring teeth and claws.

It's really sad to think about it, the two have been dating for so long, she is not a third party, but just wants a result, but in the end it turns out that it is all her wishful thinking, living in her own illusory dream, unrealistic to the extreme.

what is sheA person with an ordinary family background and an ordinary job, who is obviously worthless, thinks highly of himself like this, and deserves to be so ordinary

"Forget it, it's my fault, let's break up." Not wanting to think about it anymore, He Xiaojun sighed.

He was taken aback, and reached out to hold her wrist, unexpectedly He Xiaojun moved faster than him, he pulled open the door and stepped down in one step.

"Xiaojun?" What did she say?separate?He had never heard these two words in his life, and he suspected that he was hallucinating.

She looked back at him with a cold voice.

"I'm sorry, I have an appointment. I have something to do tonight. You should go first."

He was caught off guard and didn't respond. He watched her leave, and only thought of getting out of the car a few seconds later, only to see that she had already walked towards the building.

"Xiaojun." He called her.

She made up her mind and took bigger and bigger steps, just pretending she didn't hear it.

He was flustered, he didn't expect her to be so stubborn this time, and he frowned because of her last words, he took a few quick steps and pulled her back, with a heavy tone, "Xiao Jun, who did you date?"

She didn't answer, she broke away from his hand and walked on.

"Xiaojun!" He called her again, almost annoyed.

She had already walked to the front of the building. During off-duty hours, there were a lot of people coming in and out of the door, most of them were in a hurry. The cars also drove out of the driveway one after another. Only one Excelle was parked at the outermost side of the driveway. The man in jeans did not sit in the car, but stood alone outside the car.

Feng Zhihao would never have cared about such people and cars, but He Xiaojun walked straight towards that person without stopping, and finally pulled him back, and turned to talk to Feng Zhihao.

"Don't ask, I'm dating him."

Neither He Xiaojun nor Chen Qizhong showed up at the scheduled party that night. Meimei called He Xiaojun and she refused to answer. Only Chen Qizhong called Xiao Cai, saying that he had already received He Xiaojun, they were together, and told them not to Worry.

Cai Jun was surprised, and wanted to call to remind, but was held down by Du Meimei, "What are you urging? The two of them can do whatever they want."

"Didn't we agree to sing together?" There were many people in the box, and several Mai Ba were singing in full swing, so Cai Jun had no choice but to raise his voice.

Du Meimei glanced at him resentfully, "What is the purpose of singing? Why did you forget it in a blink of an eye?"

Du Meimei said that the purpose of singing is of course to give He Xiaojun and Chen Qizhong a chance to develop. Cai Jun looked at his excited girlfriend and hesitated to speak. Finally, he put down the phone and sighed deeply.

The team leader and that extravagant girl, did they really develop so smoothly?Right the second time?He really didn't expect it.

Cai Jun can't be blamed for not being able to figure it out. He Xiaojun later recalled the scene of that day, and even she herself felt weird.

When she said that she had an appointment, Feng Zhihao naturally didn't believe it at all, only when He Xiaojun was furious for a moment, what he said was an angry word that came out of his mouth, but he didn't expect that she would pull Chen Qizhong into the car in the next second, Chen Qizhong was not surprised at all He looked back at Feng Zhihao when he was about to leave, and nodded to him as a greeting, very thoughtful.

In fact, it would be fine if he just followed He Xiaojun away with no one in sight, just this last glance and nod, and the sudden jump of the ground aroused Feng Zhihao's anger, and his eyes turned red.

He has an impression of this man.

It's not that Chen Qizhong's appearance is unforgettable, the main reason is that he is the first man besides him to appear beside He Xiaojun in these years. There was only one punch left.

But the restraint he had cultivated over the years finally prevailed. At the entrance of the commercial building, there were people coming and going. At that moment, someone had already looked sideways. He clenched his fists, but in the end he just stood there, frowning as he watched them leave. The direction, the chest turbulence, the whole body is stiff.

He Xiaojun didn't turn his head all the time, so naturally he didn't know Feng Zhihao's reaction. In fact, she tried her best to restrain herself from turning her head. At first, she was able to remain calm while sitting in the car, but when the car stopped at a red light, she finally Still unable to hold back, he looked back at the direction he had come from.

Although Chen Qizhong was not driving fast, he still passed two streets at this time, and the company building was already far behind him. How could he still see the hazy shadow in the dim twilight?Just like the days and nights she spent with Feng Zhihao, how could she still see clearly?
Her heart constricted suddenly, and she suddenly felt sad, and she burst into tears instantly.

She lowered her head, a handkerchief suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, she couldn't see clearly with tears in her eyes, she wiped her eyes and looked again, it turned out to be really a handkerchief.

The chance of seeing a handkerchief these days is even lower than the chance of seeing someone running naked on the street. She was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but look up at him.

He was also looking at her, but when his eyes met, he quickly turned away and continued to look ahead, pretending not to see her distress.

Chen Qizhong really didn't expect that when he saw He Xiaojun for the second time, her dress turned out to be a different person, and what was even more unexpected was that she cried so sadly beside him.

He had only seen her once, a few weeks ago.She was all in gold, and walked straight towards them. After sitting down, she pushed up the pair of oversized sunglasses on her face, and said "hi" briefly; The jaw-dropping price, but the expression was not excited; when he walked out of the tea room, he seemed to be a different person under the sun, and said with a cold face that he should not force himself. The taste is very special.

And in the end when he sent her home, she stared at him in the car and questioned, "Really send me?"

He nodded.

She thought for a while before adding two words, "Thank you." Then she smiled, as if dark clouds had come out of Phnom Penh.

They were all very small fragments, but I only saw her once, we were not familiar with each other, and he didn't have the chance to see too many different aspects of her.

When he said goodbye that day, he could certainly feel that she didn't care about him. On the way back, he still said to himself in his heart, forget it, I shouldn't remember it.But after that day, he thought of her appearance from time to time, and the smell of plum candy on her body, and couldn't help smiling when he thought of it, so that when Xiao Cai suddenly asked him for a party, he agreed without thinking.

"Thank you." His face was wet, knowing that he was in a mess, He Xiaojun finally took the handkerchief and covered his eyes with it, which also covered the hazy shadow of the distant building in the twilight.

Very clean bandanna, fresh and sun-drenched, and smells like the sun is still on it.Years ago, her father used a handkerchief like this to wrap an enamel cup, took it home to untie the knot, lifted the lid, and smiled as she cheered on the melting ice cream inside.

How easy was it to be happy then, and now?Memories made her sadder, and she didn't want anyone to see her expression, she covered the veil with her hands, as if it was the only thing she could keep now.

On the main road on weekends, the road was very congested, the red light turned on twice alternately, but the traffic flow did not move, it should be when he felt anxious, but Chen Qizhong didn't care at all, just seeing her so sad, a little at a loss.

Although he has been dealing with computers for many years, he is not stupid after all. The situation just now is in his eyes, and the details are unknown, so he can probably guess it.

Thinking about it, it's really worth sighing, he finally mustered up the courage to take the first step, but he just ran into her in such a mess.

The red light was flashing again, and the traffic finally started to move slowly. He held the steering wheel and looked ahead, struggled for a long time and finally spoke, using a normal tone, as if everything that happened before was a phantom.

"Could you go get something to eat? I missed lunch today because I was in a rush for a project, so I'm a little hungry."

She probably didn't expect him to say such a thing, the handkerchief covering her face finally fell a little bit, revealing a pair of watery eyes, Chen Qizhong was looking in the direction, met her eyes, and immediately pointed With a shudder, he almost turned into the opposite lane.

5
It turned out that the two of them ate a barbecue buffet, which was on the first floor of a nearby commercial building. Because it was a weekend night, business was very good, and the only seat was in the corner closest to the kitchen. Every time a waiter came in and out, he would open the silver door. There was a burst of noisy smoke from the small door.

He Xiaojun has a delicate appearance, but his personality is not like that of sister Daiyu who is always miserable when encountering sad things. Fortunately, her skeleton is as slender as a bird, no matter how fleshy she is, she doesn't feel too fat, but it just feels like a ball of white and soft cotton candy when held.At this time, the mood fell to the bottom, and I really got up to eat. The handsome South American guy in a white uniform shuttled back and forth, and every time he piled up all kinds of barbecue meat on the white porcelain plate in front of her. After eating for a long time, I finally looked up and saw Chen Qizhong sitting opposite, with a knife in one hand and a fork in the other, I don't know how long I have been looking at her.

Probably because she was frightened by her eating appearance, once He Xiaojun was embarrassed, it was too late to pretend to be a lady.

She has never lost her composure in front of Feng Zhihao before, and of course he would rarely bring her to such unlimited places. Before Feng Zhihao came to China to work, he lived overseas all the year round, his eating habits were also Western-style, and he was very particular about consumption occasions. They often dated The places here are all very high-end western restaurants, with dim lighting and soothing music.She cared most about how she looked in front of him, and she ate elegantly and softly every time. Besides, she was full of joy when eating with him, how could she overeat like she is now.

Thinking of Feng Zhihao, she felt another pain in her heart, and forced herself to throw away that shadow, before she said, "I'm sorry, this happens when I'm in a bad mood, actually I don't usually eat much."

He smiled and just asked, "Any more?"

Unexpectedly, Chen Qizhong was so considerate, and he didn't ask a word about the previous situation. He Xiaojun couldn't help thanking him in his heart. After thanking him, he sighed and shook his head.

When she was bumped into by this man in the most embarrassing situation, and when he extended his helping hand, she actually developed some subtle intimacy towards him at this moment, and she couldn't help but lose her defenses when she spoke again.

"Feel full and feel better."

He thought for a while and asked again, "Are you sad?"

She nodded, "Of course I'm sad. Breaking up is never painful. Have you ever broken up? No, have you ever been in love?"

These words made Chen Qizhong raise his eyebrows, he is not a caveman, why has he never been in love?
Chen Qizhong has a master's degree, a stable job, and a high income. His sister married to Canada, and his parents took care of her children, leaving him alone in Shanghai. The original house at home was small, in the old city of Puxi, and he bought another set after working. In Jinqiao, although it is a bit remote, it is still considered a homeowner. It is just that the place and environment where I work have always lacked opportunities to deal with girls.But even so, there are still some people who introduce him to him, not only some, but also quite a few, but I don't know if it's his bad luck or some other reason, and he often encounters unexpected situations.

The first time I met was a girl who worked in the personal finance department of a bank. At that time, his company did not have a car. When we met, he rode a moped to go. We had a good conversation during dinner. I didn’t expect to go out and see her. When he took out the key and bent over to drive the lock, he frowned on the spot and said in a Shanghai dialect, "I don't want to take this kind of car, I'll ask Chatou to go back." There has been no news since then.

The introducer is always embarrassed, and it is said that he thinks he is very nice, but his personality is not suitable.He was amused after hearing it, but he didn't take it seriously. Resistance to blows is one of the basic psychological qualities of a man, and he has always been good at self-regulation.

The second date is an elementary school teacher, with small nose and small eyes, like a Japanese doll, we talked for several months, and once watched a movie, some scenes were quite scary, she covered her eyes with her hands in the dark and endured He couldn't help peeking through his fingers, and then he was frightened, and rushed over to hug his arm. He thought she was cute, but he really wanted to continue, but he didn't expect that she would suddenly ask him out a few months later, with embarrassment on her face, He said hesitantly, "I think you are a nice person, but my mother said that your house is in Jinqiao, and my house is in Zhongshan Park, which is too far away. She doesn't want me to live so far away in the future, so I can't take care of you."

He was puzzled by her words for a long time, and finally figured it out, forget it, the house is not long, so it would be difficult for him to move it to her mother's house
With the first two experiences as a basis, he was not so devoted when he met the third partner later. The girl was a secretary and she was very beautiful. He felt even more useless when he saw her. Good impression, he still didn't have a car at that time, and every time after the date ended, he would take the subway back home after sending her home. Sometimes she specially made food and put it in an insulated box for him to take with him, so that he didn't have to go out to buy it the next morning. It's breakfast, sleep a little longer.

He was naturally moved, and began to fall in love seriously. He didn’t expect that the company would send him to the New York headquarters for training a year later. This was a rare opportunity. Of course he went. At the beginning, she appealed to MSN every day to say how much she missed her, and he also felt guilty. , no matter how busy he was, he always found time to call her. When he had a rare chance to go to the street, he would buy gifts for her, put them away and put them in boxes, but then she gradually lost track of her, and when he called her, it was mostly a busy message. Or no one answered, and finally he finished his work and returned home. She came to pick him up at the airport, and when she spoke with a difficult voice, she said, "Qizhong, I'm sorry, it's actually you."

He already had the bottom line in his heart, and finished the sentence for her with a wry smile, "Understood, I'm actually pretty good, that's all, let's go."

After hearing this, she actually cried, wiped away her tears, turned around, and got into a car parked outside the door. The man in the car had been waiting for a long time, stepped on the accelerator and left, just like that, driving out of his sight.

Since then, Chen Qizhong has felt that the matter of introducing a partner is meaningless. Why does a man have no wife? What is due to you is always yours. It is useless to force what is not due to you. Things, although he is not too ambitious, his career is always his own.

What's more, his feelings about himself at that time are already blurred, or he deliberately doesn't want to remember. One night when he was driving, he heard the host talk about the topic of broken love, and said in a sighing tone that now I'm going to read the feelings of broken love sent by a man. He said that falling in love is like a knife stuck in the ribs, no, no, it's like a bullet hit, with a 'bang', it hit the heart.

He thought in his heart that someone who could send this text message must be young, so he shouldn't be called a man, it's better to be called a boy, would a man describe his feelings so easily?The thing has already happened and is over, any excuses and regrets are meaningless, not to mention that it is better to be silent if you tell your feelings to the whole world so heartbreakingly.

He relayed the text message on the radio to He Xiaojun, his tone was flat, then he looked at her and said, "What do you think?"

She didn't expect that someone could repeat such a fierce sentence in such a flat tone. The strong contrast made her smile.

He remembered that sentence again, the golden edge behind the dark clouds, and then smiled too, just for her smile,

After the two of them laughed at each other, the atmosphere suddenly turned better, and they began to eat and chat for the next time. Finally, He Xiaojun couldn't move, and said that he couldn't do it anymore and wanted to go home. He didn't answer this time for some reason, but just watched Looking at her, He Xiaojun became uneasy, lowered his head to examine himself, and then looked at the empty dinner plate in front of him, embarrassed.

"Chen Qizhong, I told you that I am not like this usually. Besides, this is a buffet. No matter how much you eat, you will pay the same price. If I treat you today, don't look at me, okay?"

He smiled, and just said, "Eat more, you are not fat."

She really sighed this time, put down the knife and fork and watched him speak seriously.

"Mr. Chen, are you pretending? In fact, you are very good at talking, and you won't ask me to refute when you turn a corner to provoke me."

He didn't refute after listening, and raised his hand to her in surrender with a smile.

He Xiaojun thought about it later and felt that people really need time and space to get to know each other. Chen Qizhong didn't seem to talk much, but he actually had a sense of humor. Attractive, she was in an extremely bad mood before, but after having a meal with him, she unexpectedly relaxed unconsciously, and gradually felt less pain in her heart.

That's right, it's just a breakup, the earth is still turning, the sun is still rising, it's not an earthquake and tsunami, and the sky is falling apart. In the eyes of others, it may not be a big deal at all, let alone no matter what the reality is. After all, the two words came out of her mouth. No matter how embarrassed she was, she at least maintained her superficial integrity when she left the stage, which is considered to be fortunate.

The lady came to pay the bill, He Xiaojun touched the wallet, looked up and saw that Chen Qizhong was already paying, He Xiaojun of course refused, the reason why they will eat here today is because she knows the reason.The man sitting opposite her was just taken advantage of by her. He cooperated with him without saying a word, and he did not ask a word in a very good manner. She should be the one who invites him both emotionally and rationally.

Unexpectedly, Chen Qizhong turned around and looked at her seriously, and said, "It should be, I am a man."

Well, He Xiaojun had to admit that when Chen Qizhong said this, he was very handsome.
