deep sin

Chapter 399
Although he was a little uncomfortable and puzzled by Kong Chengli's hot and cold attitude, An Changpu still agreed to his invitation, and the three of them left the smoky office, planning to find a place around for dinner.

As soon as he walked out of the office building, Qin Ruonan, who finally breathed fresh air again, couldn't help but take a few deep breaths, feeling as if he was alive again.

Kong Chengli hardly spoke a word along the way, and he never left his cigarette. When he walked to the school gate, the security guard on duty greeted him with a nervous expression, and his eyes were still full of curiosity towards An Changpu and Qin Ruonan Looking at his body, Kong Chengli nodded at the little security guard: "Stay here, I'm going out for a while, two friends are here, and we're going out to have dinner together, if you have anything to do, call me in time, I'm nearby."

The security guard quickly nodded in agreement, but after listening to Kong Chengli's introduction to An Changpu and Qin Ruonan, his eyes seemed a little more surprised when he looked at these two people, as if what he saw in front of him were two people in disguise. Earthlings are like aliens.

Kong Chengli didn't take the other party's attitude and reaction seriously at all, and walked silently all the way with his head down, smoking a cigarette. An Changpu and Qin Ruonan followed him. Kong Chengli was obviously more familiar with the vicinity of Z University, and soon took him with him. The two of them crossed the road, bypassed a residential building, and then came to a rather lively small street. There were various snack restaurants on both sides of the street, as well as some small shops specializing in cosmetics, accessories, and plush toys. Young men and women who looked like little students were hanging out there.Kong Chengli found one of the restaurants and opened the door and walked in without asking the opinions of the two people behind him. An Changpu and Qin Ruonan are not picky eaters, let alone the main one who came out with Kong Chengli. The purpose is not to eat, so I don't have any opinion on his choice.

For this small restaurant, Kong Chengli is obviously an old and regular customer. The young waiter immediately greeted him warmly. I was a little surprised when I came alone, but I didn't say anything, and quickly greeted An Changpu and the others.

After bringing the three of them into a simple cubicle on the second floor, the waiter took out three menus from his apron pocket and put them on the table, then turned to ask Kong Chengli: "Uncle Kong, is it still the old rules?"

Kong Chengli nodded: "Yes, business as usual!"

After ordering the food, the waiter left and came back after a while, holding two bottles of beer, a bottle of drink, and a bottle of white wine. She put the white wine in front of Kong Chengli, put the beer on the table, and asked An Changpu : "Do you need me to open the wine bottle for you?"

"No, thank you." An Changpu waved to the waiter.

"Okay, then you can drink some white wine with me. Drinking is only interesting if you have someone to accompany you!" Kong Chengli thought that An Changpu's refusal was because he was not interested in beer.

"I'm still working hours now, there are rules, and I can't drink alcohol." An Changpu explained to him with a smile, saying that he really couldn't have a drink with him.

"I don't smoke, and I don't drink alcohol." Kong Chengli looked at An Changpu, his eyes didn't seem to be dissatisfied with his behavior, but it seemed to be filled with an indescribable melancholy, "I used to be so young when I was young. Like you now, you don't smoke or drink, so many years have passed, and now you can't live without cigarettes, and you can't live without alcohol!"

As he said that, before the dishes and rice were served, he unscrewed the cap of the bottle and poured half a glass of white wine.

Since Kong Chengli hadn't eaten his dinner yet, the waiter immediately asked him if it was the old rules as soon as he sat down, and then brought a bottle of white wine to him. It took him a long time to smell the alcohol in Kong Chengli's office. The result of drinking at night is that the energy of drinking at noon has not passed.Qin Ruonan felt that he couldn't imagine Kong Chengli's current living conditions, heavy smoking, dependence on alcohol, moody temper, and gloomy mentality recognized by others. What does it look like?

Kong Chengli drank half a glass of wine, and was about to express his feelings about his life experience. Before he could open his mouth, his phone rang. He took out his phone, cursing in a low voice, and when he saw the number on it, he immediately froze for a moment. His expression softened a lot, and he gestured to An Changpu and Qin Ruonan to signal them to wait a moment, then he picked up the phone by himself, speaking in such a gentle voice that both An Changpu and Qin Ruonan were very surprised.

"Hey, I'm about to eat. Are you home? I'm on duty. If you two can't do it, go out and eat. Don't be fooled."

"...No! No, no, I didn't drink, really! Well, I know, I don't drink, cigarettes? I also smoke less, don't worry, don't talk about me, I remember it."

"Okay, I see. I'll buy it for my daughter when I get home from get off work tomorrow!"

"Lock the door at home, both of you, at night! Check before going to bed!"

Kong Chengli hung up the phone after repeatedly exhorting him several times. When he looked up and saw the expressions of An Changpu and Qin Ruonan, he was also a little embarrassed: "My wife called, I have been at this age all my life. I'm still a trash, if people don't dislike me and are willing to live with me, I have to have fun secretly."

"But you didn't seem to be telling the truth just now!" An Changpu smiled and pointed to Kong Chengli's glass where he refilled the white wine.

Kong Chengli shook his head helplessly: "If I'm telling the truth, my wife will have to be anxious with me. She has already given up on me as a good-for-nothing husband. I have to let her worry less. If I now If I don’t drink or smoke, I don’t have any more comfortable things. I’m not afraid of your jokes. If it wasn’t for the cigarettes and alcohol that helped me to untangle my emotions in the past few years, I don’t know where I would go.”

As he spoke, he raised his head again and drank the wine in the glass again.

I have to admit that Kong Chengli's drinking capacity is really good. An Changpu watched him drank a glass of white wine in two gulps, and guessed in his heart that if it were him, he would be lying on the table dizzy by now. Kong Chengli But he was still very energetic, except for the smell of alcohol in his nose and his flushed face, he couldn't see any obvious drunkenness.

"In your office just now, I saw the photos on your desk, and I feel that your family of three is very happy." Qin Ruonan said to Kong Chengli, she found that as long as he didn't take the initiative to mention Jiang Yan, Kong Chengli didn't seem to have too much emotion Contradicting and leaving the general environment of Z University, Kong Chengli's condition is better than in school.

"My wife...is a good woman!" Kong Chengli sighed, rubbed his finger on the rim of the glass, and said with a little melancholy, "When someone introduced us to each other, it happened to be the lowest period of my life. , I was young at that time, and I didn't think about the impact on my career. I was poor, poor and white, and didn't even have a house. The house in that era was not as expensive as it is now, but even I still didn't have a movie. Wa, in the afternoon, I still live in the dormitory of the school all day long! In this way, she didn’t think I was poor, she treated me sincerely, and she was full of confidence in me. At that time, I suddenly felt that, in fact, not all women are so realistic."

Kong Chengli's words seemed to reveal some information inadvertently, but he didn't notice it himself. It seemed that the alcohol didn't anesthetize his nerves, but instead excited him a little, and the chatterbox also opened up. What they didn't expect when he came out to eat this meal together, what they expected most in their hearts at first was nothing more than that Kong Chengli would not go crazy with alcohol, that would be the best.

"Actually, I was wrong. If I had listened to my wife's advice, I might not have fallen to this level today. I was young at the time, and my career development was not bad. My wife told me, your personality is not at all It is not suitable to continue on this road. It is better to use my strengths and become a calligraphy teacher. After all, the nature of the job is simpler, and in those days, the pressure of employment was not as great as it is now. It was very easy to find a job after college students graduated, and not many people wanted to stay in the school to teach, and there were opportunities to transfer to become a teacher, but I didn't take it seriously at all, and thought I had a bright future, so I felt wronged Yes, but looking back now, I have to listen to what my wife said! I was too innocent at the beginning, thinking that interpersonal relationships would be much simpler than outside, and I never thought that the world is as black as crows." Once Kong Chengli opened the chat box, At the beginning, I couldn't help pouring out bitter water, "The luckiest thing in my life was that I met my wife back then. The biggest mistake was that I shouldn't have misjudged the person, and ended up with a wrong step and a wrong step."

As he spoke, he raised his neck and drank another glass of wine. This was the third glass of wine that Kong Chengli drank on an empty stomach. Kong Chengli's face was even redder than before, and he put the glass back on the table with a snap , I ignored the waiter who came to serve the food, I was taken aback by myself, and said angrily: "I don't care about the things in the past, let's pass it when it's over, I take myself as a dish, that's my own fault Passionate! The result! She didn’t know what trouble she caused outside and was entangled by others. I ran into her and helped her out. She didn’t thank her at all afterwards, as if I owed her! Let me tell you, if the two of us Whoever owes someone among them, it is definitely not I owe her! What is going on now? She died as soon as she said she would die, but I will be questioned by your police, why?"
