strange i love you

Chapter 12 Look, Time's Clown (1)
From: Grapefruit

During a business trip, I was sent by the company to a place where no one shits. The best thing I ate here was "Master Geng" instant noodles, and the most delicious food was "Old Ten Mom" ​​and "Aureo" "Three plus one", I feel like I have come to a wonderful place...

Under such a difficult environment, my colleagues and I managed the project!I was about to applaud myself. When we went to the other party’s company to discuss a project, we came back and passed by a county town. We couldn’t wait to ask the driver to stop, and then went to the supermarket to buy a lot of things.Finally, we can eat some delicious food. The owner of the farm where we live is also very enthusiastic, and even said that he will give us some barley cakes as a special product...

I'm going home tomorrow, I'm so excited, but the past few days are actually going well, I don't know if I'm thin or not.

Best Response

At this moment: It seems that the landlord has been very happy recently.

I'm a fan of Luhan: The barley pancakes are delicious, did you go to a Tibetan area...

Meng Meng Da Congee Congee: I also get drunk when I see "Master Geng", "Old Ten Mom" ​​and "Aureo"...

During the few days of business trip, Lin Youxi has not had any contact with Qin Zhihao. If it had been different before, Lin Youxi might have flown back to Qin Zhihao to make a fuss, or she would have to make a phone call to ask questions, but this time she No.Staring at his name in the phone contacts, he hesitated for a while, and finally clicked the "Back" button.

On the way back, Lin Youxi thought, if Qin Zhihao's attitude improved, she would let go of the past, if he remained cold, then continue the cold war.Although on the surface it seemed that he really didn’t care about him, but when he came back, he still bought a lot of local specialties and put them in the box. This is Lin Youxi’s habit. Every time he goes out for fun or business, he always remembers to bring some local specialties. Things, sometimes ethnic jewelry, handmade leather bags, distinctive handmade cigarettes, pastries and the like, have almost become a habit.If things are not expensive and you have a lot of money, you will buy more and send them to Qin Zhihao's parents and his family.

"Are these things worth buying back?" Zheng Tao, who was following, glanced at the things Lin Youxi bought casually, "You can buy them by searching on Taobao, why bother. "

"This is the intention."

"I don't understand."

Lin Youxi rolled his eyes at him: "It's not for you anyway."

Qin Zhihao wasn't there when he got home, and the house was unexpectedly clean, as if someone cleaned it every day.After Lin Youxi packed her luggage, the first thing she did was to go to the kitchen and open the refrigerator to see what was inside.

I thought it would be empty, but I didn't expect that there were leftover fried pork, tomato eggs, and a plate of boiled shrimp.There is a row of yogurt and Yakult underneath.He thought that Qin Zhihao would have a miserable life when he was not at home. He either ate instant noodles at night or spent his time outside casually. He never thought that his little life would be quite moist.

Lin Youxi got a little angry, and took out the barley noodles and barley cakes she brought back and put them in the kitchen.Then take out the few dishes in the refrigerator and heat them up to eat.With a feeling of revenge to vent, he poured the big pot of leftovers into the pot, added three eggs and fried it well, then turned on the TV and ate while watching.

Her stomach was so distended that she couldn't hold it anymore, Lin Youxi still managed to eat all the hot dishes on the table.When Qin Zhihao came back at night, he opened the refrigerator and saw that there was nothing, Lin Youxi sat on the chair and smiled triumphantly, asking you to find something to eat.As a result, he bent down to open the freezer below, and then took out a plate of quick-frozen dumplings from inside!

yes!When Lin Youxi saw the plate of dumplings, her eyeballs almost fell out, how did the dumplings come from!I actually forgot to check the freezer!

Seeing Qin Zhihao leisurely boiling the underwater dumplings, Lin Youxi really wanted to rush over and dump that plate of dumplings into the trash can.

"How is this business trip?" Qin Zhihao's voice came from the kitchen.

Only then did Lin Youxi recover from her reverie: "Fortunately, I brought some barley noodles and barley cakes."

"What's delicious about those things?" Qin Zhihao's voice came faintly, and Lin Youxi couldn't help but get angry.

"Anyway, I brought it all the way back."

"You do this every time. I've said it several times. You don't need to bring so many things back. It's not worth anything. Don't you feel tired dragging such a big suitcase?"

"I don't want to quarrel with you." Lin Youxi stood up and left Qin Zhihao's sight.

Qin Zhihao's voice also came from the kitchen: "Who do you think thinks?"

Lu Li worked as an interpreter at a high-end wine club. Seeing that she was dressed elegantly and delicately, Lin Youxi was still very surprised.

"Your style has changed too quickly."

"No way, it's necessary for work." Lu Li sat down and ordered a cup of coffee, then took out her mobile phone from her bag and answered a call.

They were speaking English, and Lin Youxi had lost most of her English a long time ago, so she didn't know what they were talking about.After hanging up the phone, Lu Li winked at Lin Youxi: "Guess who?"

"client?"

"Well, I guessed half right." Lu Li took a sip of coffee after speaking, "He's chasing me, it's said to be an executive of a foreign company."

"That's good, it's time to have a boyfriend."

Lu Li didn't speak, and added a cube of sugar into the cup: "I don't dare to have any hope for love now. Not everyone is like you, and you can find someone you can pin your life on at once. Many people are still very unlucky. "

Lin Youxi sighed: "I'm not that lucky. I don't have to be so pessimistic after being split."

"NO NO NO." Lu Li said, shaking her index finger, "What is an ex-boyfriend? If I really want to fall in love, there are many suitable boys around me. But I don't. I enjoy the freedom of being single now, and I don't want to be rejected early." Love binds hands and feet, and I would also like to thank my ex-boyfriend, how could I have the enlightenment I am today without my ex-boyfriend."

Hearing this, Lin Youxi felt a little uncomfortable. She could tell that Lu Li hadn't come out of that relationship. She thought she had forgotten it before, but now she was so hurt that she gave up on herself.

"Then don't go too far." Lin Youxi persuaded.

Lu Li gave an "OK" gesture.

Lin Youxi smiled helplessly, and picked up the cup to drink water.As soon as he turned his head and looked at the window beside him, the expression on his face froze instantly.

She couldn't believe her eyes, but yes, that person was indeed Qin Zhihao.

Seeing Lin Youxi's distraught look, Lu Li followed her gaze and looked downstairs. It doesn't matter if she doesn't look, she immediately called out: "Isn't that Qin Zhihao? Who is that girl next to him?"

Lin Youxi shook her head blankly, she was completely blinded, before she turned her head and saw Qin Zhihao walking out of the theater arm in arm with the girl next to her, she never expected this day to come.

The scene of Qin Zhihao's cold war with him before going out in the morning was still in his mind. After dinner, Lin Youxi asked him why he went out so early on the big weekend. While putting on his shoes at the entrance, he said that he was going to work overtime at the company, then closed the door and left.

Lin Youxi felt that she was such a fool, she thought a lot about it.She thinks maybe this relationship has become less passionate over time, but they still love each other and care about each other, maybe they have really changed, no longer the young girl at first, changed Being a philistine has become annoying, but it was only when she saw this scene that she realized how ridiculous she was.She watched in a daze as Qin Zhihao took the girl's hand and put it in his jacket pocket. The two of them crossed the road talking and laughing, and walked towards the coffee shop.Lin Youxi and the others were sitting on the second floor, and Lu Li was already furious. She got up and went downstairs to find the pair of men and women to fight, but was stopped by Lin Youxi.

"Don't be so impulsive." Lin Youxi's voice was soft, each word limply strung together, she didn't know how her reaction would be like this.

"What impulse? Are you going to be a steamed bun?" Lu Li suddenly remembered that the moment she knew her boyfriend was cheating, she was actually not as bold as she is now, and Lin Youxi's reaction at this time was not much better than Lin Youxi's reaction at this time. The boyfriend knew that he already knew the fact that he was cheating.

"Wait." Lin Youxi grabbed her hand desperately, "Let me calm down for a while."

All she can think about now is the food in the refrigerator when she got home that day, and the clean house. In fact, everything has already happened, but Lin Youxi didn't notice it.

"No, I can't just watch, I'm so pissed off, you're fine, I'm busy!" After speaking, Lu Li left Lin Youxi behind, and walked downstairs on five-centimeter high heels.

Lin Youxi hurriedly followed, Qin Zhihao and the girl were sitting in the corner of the hall, and the waiter was standing in front of their table waiting to order food.And Lu Li had already walked over, and then slapped her red handbag on the table with a "slap".

The water in the cup on the table swayed, and the expressions on the faces of Qin Zhihao and the girl also changed quite dramatically.In those few seconds, Qin Zhihao in Lin Youxi's eyes changed from happiness and sweetness before to shock, then shame, then numbness, and then he turned his head and glanced blankly at Lin Youxi who was standing not far away.

The moment the two people's eyes met, the city wall that Lin Youxi had built in her heart for a long time collapsed instantly.She saw Qin Zhihao standing up staggeringly, and then walking towards herself, but she subconsciously took a step back, turned around in panic and ran away before Qin Zhihao came over.Lu Li's voice came from behind, but she didn't want to hear anything, she just wanted to keep running, keep running, and escape from this place.

Passing through the pedestrians coming and going, the scenes of being with Qin Zhihao in the past emerged in my mind, as if playing a movie, frame by frame flashed through my mind.

"This is our future home. After making money, you can stay at home with peace of mind. I will raise you and give birth to a white and fat boy."

This is what Qin Zhihao said the day he moved into his new home.

"Happy Valentine's Day, this is our sixth Valentine's Day, if it's over seven, let's get married."

This is what Qin Zhihao said on Valentine's Day this year.

"We won't fight anymore."

This is a cold war quarrel, what Qin Zhihao said when Lin Youxi ran out of the house.

……

"Lin Youxi! I like you!"

This is what Qin Zhihao said when he pursued Lin Youxi.

These words flashed through my mind one by one, like a sharp knife across my heart.Lin Youxi panted heavily, then squatted on the ground.She couldn't run anymore, and the sadness in her heart surged up all of a sudden, and finally she couldn't stop anymore, she covered her face and began to cry "woo woo".

Five years ago, she thought that the most beautiful love in the world was to spend a lifetime with her lover in an ordinary way, without seeking grandeur.

Four years ago, after she imagined the relationship with Qin Zhihao for a long, long time, she thought it was this person, and this person would grow old with her.

Three years ago, she went on a trip and sat in a green leather train carriage. She rested her head on Qin Zhihao and stared at the scenery passing by outside the car window. She felt that life was nothing but a journey, and she only wanted to be here with Qin Zhihao. Arrive in the future in the train box.

Two years ago, a year ago, Lin Youxi was submerged in bits and pieces of memories like a flood. She felt that she could hardly breathe, squatted in the corner of the street, panting, and then burst into tears down.Lin Youxi covered her face, but her tears couldn't be stopped no matter what.She felt that she was really useless, she couldn't grasp anything, she couldn't keep it, and she still thought like a fool that she could last forever.

Lin Youxi didn't go home that night, she stayed at Lu Li's place overnight.Lu Li kept whispering in her ear why she was so worthless. In the cafe, she poured the glass of water in front of Xiao San directly on her head, and Qin Zhihao didn't say anything.

"That girl obviously knows that Qin Zhihao's bastard has a girlfriend, and she came in to mix it up." Lu Li washed her hair, and it was still dripping wet, "What are the little girls thinking about now..."

Lin Youxi hadn't had dinner yet, so she ordered a bowl of egg and tomato noodles in the kitchen of Lu Li's house, and sat in the living room slowly sucking the noodles. Lu Li's words passed by her ears, and she didn't have the heart to listen to them.

"Did that guy Qin Zhihao call you?"

It was only then that Lin Youxi thought of her phone. Because it was on mute, she didn't hear the ringtone at all. There were more than a dozen missed calls on the screen, all of which were from Qin Zhihao, as well as text messages.She clicked on one.

——I'm sorry, I made a mistake in this matter, let's sit down and have a good talk, shall we?

——That girl is a colleague. Before my mother was sick and hospitalized, she often came to deliver meals to me. I just wanted to be grateful.

——Youxi, let's talk!

……

Lin Youxi turned off the phone, threw it on the sofa, then lowered her head and remained silent.Seeing this, Lu Li walked over and sat aside, put her arms around her shoulders, and let her rest her head on her shoulders. After a while, she heard Lin Youxi's sobs.

Lu Li also couldn't help crying, she thought of herself, the sympathy at this moment made the relationship between the two closer, she still remembered that she stayed at home alone for a whole month after she learned that her ex-boyfriend cheated on her, and she didn't go out and didn't pick up anyone. I don't even have the strength to call for takeaway, so I can only order food online.The house was a mess, with fast food boxes, toilet paper, and drink bottles scattered in the room, and she herself looked neither human nor ghost.She thought she would never get better again, but in the end she didn't get to where she is now.It's just that the feeling of being betrayed is too uncomfortable, like the rose in my hand was turned into a nail by someone's backhand and then ruthlessly inserted into my heart.

If possible, who doesn't want to meet the person who holds the hand for a lifetime at the beginning, and if it is possible to gain insight into the world through the vicissitudes of life later, who doesn't want to never have it.

Lin Youxi didn't go to work the next day, she asked for leave, and accompanied by Lu Li, she went to her new house to pack her luggage.When she was packing her things, Lu Li had a look of resentment on her face: "It's not you who did the wrong thing, and he moved it if you want to move it. Isn't it just right for you to move out now to leave room for him to mess around with Xiaosan?"

"I don't want to see him." Lin Youxi's reason was simple and clear, and Lu Li couldn't say anything more, so she helped her pack her things.

Seeing Lin Youxi stuffing almost four seasons' clothes into the suitcase, she stopped her: "Are you planning not to come back?"

Lin Youxi stopped her hands and turned to look at her, not knowing what she was going to do.

"Have you thought it through?" Lu Li sighed, "Forgive him, or break up?"

Lin Youxi was startled, her mind was blank for a moment, she turned to look at Lu Li: "Do you think cheating is something that can be forgiven?"

Lu Li didn't speak.

"Then you have to think about it, after all, you have already reached this point."

"Ah."

For the next time, Lin Youxi devoted herself to her work and ignored other things. She wanted to make herself have no time to think about other things.Qin Zhihao kept calling, and even went to Lu Li's house to look for her one night, but Lin Youxi hid in the closet and was not found by him.Hearing the quarrel between Lu Li and Qin Zhihao outside, she squatted in the closet and hugged her knees and couldn't help crying.The voice was very low, and there was almost no sobbing, as if someone had suddenly muted the crying scene on the TV screen, and could only see tears falling down, but no sound could be heard.

After Qin Zhihao left, Lu Li entered the room and opened the closet. The moment she saw Lin Youxi, she immediately stepped forward to hug her and started crying.During that time, Lin Youxi ate very little and had a heavy workload. She barely slept for four or five hours a day. When she met Zheng Tao at the company, he was startled and asked, "How long have you not slept? Why is your face so pale?"

Lin Youxi touched her face and said in a weak voice, "I forgot to put on makeup this morning."

"...Is it because of no makeup?" Zheng Tao was speechless.

As soon as the elevator opened, Lin Youxi took two steps forward and fell to the ground with a "plop".

Zheng Tao's voice was heard next to his ear: "Hey, Lin Youxi! Lin Youxi! Don't pretend to be dead for me, wake up..."

But Lin Youxi's consciousness has gradually drifted far away, and Zheng Tao's voice has become more and more distant, and her ears can no longer catch her.

When she woke up, the surroundings were blindingly white, Lin Youxi opened her eyes and blinked, feeling a stabbing pain in her head, opened her eyes, saw Qin Zhihao's approaching face, thought it was a dream, and closed them again, Then it opened again.
