i am queen

Chapter 3
Q
If you sell at a discount,
The recruited man must only be greedy for cheap.

Annie has filmed quite a few scenes over the years, but none of them has a more exciting plot than tonight.

It wasn't until she was out of breath from running that she found out that the man who grabbed her and ran away was called Mark, and he was the one who opened the company responsible for filming and videoing the wedding scene.

Annie was forced to run for several streets, and finally got rid of him. She was still wearing high heels, and she was so tired that she was about to collapse. So she sat on the side of the busy road in Ye Shanghai, looking down and out.She remembered that she was still a star after all, and it was really not a good idea to be admired by others on such an occasion and at such a time.

Mark looked a lot stronger than her, and he still had the strength to laugh after running for so long.

Annie didn't care to look at the street signs and directions, she only knew that she was getting farther and farther away from the direction of the Bund.She wanted to wrap herself in a shawl, but she had forgotten it at the wedding, so she gave up.

There were people coming and going on the street. Although it was late, the surroundings were not quiet. Someone passed Annie and Mark, and Annie subconsciously covered her face with her hands.

This inexplicable mad run completely broke Annie's heavy heart all night. She sat for a while to clarify her thoughts and asked Mark what he meant.

Mark is much calmer and doesn't mind his abrupt behavior at all.He looks at most 25-[-] years old, and he has the right to be impulsive and reckless.With an unruly smile on his face, he smiled and suddenly reached out to wipe the corner of her eyes.

Annie hid back defensively, with a look of astonishment on her face, "What are you doing?!"

Mark stared into her eyes, a little angry, as if he couldn't see her self-pity just now.

Annie froze for a moment, then took out a tissue and wiped her face.

Upon seeing this, Mark asked back: "You don't thank me for taking you away? Why are you sitting there? Waiting for that woman to continue humiliating you?"

Annie endured the emotions of being exposed all night, and she was very angry. Unfortunately, she couldn't breathe, and even the scolding was not powerful enough, so she just repeated: "What does it have to do with you?!"

"If you don't understand, I'll do the math for you..." Mark stood in front of Annie with his fingers, and settled the bill for her, "The black-bellied woman stole your man, and you still cooperate with her to come to the wedding obediently, And to be in their movie? Are you out of your mind?"

Annie was so angry that she didn't want to explain, she was not the Virgin Mary, nor was she a simple white lotus, she just chose the most calm way to face her.

She feels that even if the love is gone, there is no need for you to be enemies. Maybe she can't bless her frankly, but she doesn't want to live with resentment.

Mark obviously already knows what kind of mentality she has. He has always lived according to his heart, and he knows in his heart that a person must first learn to face his own heart before he can know what he wants, but Annie doesn't understand, which makes him want to wake her up, " If you are sad, just say it straight, love is like a battlefield, how can there be so many unnecessary and indifferent? It's all fart! Are you cheap?!"

"Who are you calling cheap?!"

Seeing that Annie was angry, Mark spoke more and more vigorously, as if this was the only way to reflect the effect he wanted, so he became more direct, "I saw you coming today and thought it was great, you dare to come here and make trouble, you are bold enough, She's like a queen! As a result... Ma Lisha deliberately forced you to play a supporting role, but you still agreed? You're a bitch!"

Annie was completely angry, and raised her hand to beat him. Although Mark was young, it was really easy for a big man to restrain her.He held her wrist tightly, she couldn't beat her, she almost collapsed, and shouted at Mark: "He is happy so I am happy, this is called true love, what do you know, you little brat?!"

Mark laughed loudly when he heard it, bowed his head and said to her: "Listen to me, true love is not a bitch! Your mother made you so beautiful, not for you to be spoiled, but for you to spoil others, understand? "

He seems to be always smirking, a man in his twenties, half sophisticated and half flamboyant.At this moment, he turned his back to the night of the whole city, pointing at her and cursing.

Mark's snarky, irritating way of speaking is what makes him honest.He is different from Zhang Yi, Zhang Yi would never accuse her so mercilessly.

Once there is something that cannot be said between people, there will be a secret.The secret is not terrible, what is terrible is the distance created by it. From now on, no matter how close you are, your hearts will not be in the same place.

Annie thought for a while, and Mark was right. Her hand froze in mid-air, and she froze for a while, then suddenly asked him to let go.

Mark scolded happily, and soon acted as if nothing happened. He saw that she was indeed emotionally stable, let her go, saw her walking forward without looking back, and hurriedly followed her.

Annie just wanted to find a place where no one was around to calm down. She walked in front, and Mark followed leisurely.He walks as if he never looks serious, but he always follows him.Anne was a little defensive at first, but later she gave up on herself, it doesn't matter, anyway, it won't be any worse tonight.

The man who filled her whole life in the past has his bride. For Anne... no matter how hysterical she is, the past story has come to an end.

Her sorrow or joy, who knows?
Mark scolded her for letting others spoil her... But she was willing to be with Zhang Yi, and she didn't think she was wasting her time.

Her mind is full of images from the past. When she was younger, she and Zhang Yi had filmed unreleased literary films together and watched each other's favorite films together.

In those years, they made serious plans, and when she reached the best age to get married and have children, she actively prepared, and Zhang Yi also gave up his insistence on being a literary niche, and took over the filming of his first feature-length TV series.It's all for her, for their family, and even for their children.

At that time, Annie had just gotten used to living in Beijing, and her circle was too small, so she relied too much on Zhang Yi.In her world, apart from work and friends, everything is him.

The world is unpredictable, and there are still many scenery in their life that they have no time to see. She is still holding on to love and the future, but she never imagined that Zhang Yi already has Ma Lisha after a movie is filmed.

Not long after they broke up, a reporter took pictures of Zhang Yi moving in with Ma Lisha, and the two of them went to buy a diamond ring, and then everything fell into place.Half a year ago, it was reported on the Internet that Ma Lisha shyly accepted the marriage proposal, and Zhang Yi then decided to make it public and announced the wedding date in front of the media together.

In such a situation, countless people quickly jumped out. While scolding the cheating Zhang Yi, they told Annie that the ex-girlfriend should throw away the bad man graciously.Anyway, they were all things she had used, so Ma Lisha could take them away if she wanted to.But she couldn't be so indifferent, she didn't expect that Zhang Yi didn't even want the home they had spent together for eight years, so he turned around and left so resolutely, and became Ma Lisha's man completely.

Everyone will say the truth, those who have not experienced it will never understand, and what can be easily let go is not called love.

Annie lowered her head, and by the light of the street lamp, she saw two or three petals of white roses on her black sleeves, which were stained when she received a bouquet just now. They were firmly attached to the fabric, and they did not fall off after running for so long. .

This reminded her of the first week of living together with Zhang Yi, Zhang Yi once gave her a bouquet of flowers, even if the flowers withered later, she was reluctant to throw them away, preferring to dry them and cherish them.

A woman is like a flower, and Anne has become a specimen to be exhibited. Beauty is just a thing of the past, and she even lost his last yearning gaze.The other party is now holding a delicate and fresh rose in his arms, and he refuses to look back at her again.

In the past days, things changed and people changed, and she was really turning into a pile of sad petals, foolishly clinging to her memories and not letting go.She even crazily avoided contact with people for a period of time, even friends.She locked herself up, vulnerable and sensitive to light, as if she had become a vampire who was about to lose her soul, and if she didn't see Zhang Yi sucking his blood, she would die completely.

She knew that she was stupid, and she did not miss the detours that all stupid girls in the world would take.She thought that this was the only way to true love, but she was repeatedly exposed that night, and she was still not strong enough.

Annie was silent and lost in thought, and suddenly found a shadow on the ground. It turned out that Mark was still there.

She sighed to cheer herself up, after all, she has no place to stay tonight.

Mark beside her suddenly saw something on her sleeve, stepped forward, frowned, and helped her flick the petals off.He could almost see the struggling figure in Anne's eyes. She obviously couldn't forget it, but she insisted on pretending to be a saint and putting on a magnanimous appearance to bless the couple.

The wound that she didn't even admit to herself will only hurt more and more, and she will never forget it.

The man who came against the light was a complete accident. He asked her: "Is it that difficult to admit that you can't forget Zhang Yi?"

She looked at Mark, speechless.

The more chaotic the sky, the less God will help. The weather in Shanghai at night is getting worse and worse, and the rain that has been hidden all day is falling down.

A few streets away, someone happened to walk into the coffee shop one after the other.

Tina is not going to avoid Jiawei anymore.

Today, in order to accompany Annie to attend the wedding, she wore a pair of exquisite hollow high heels.She put her hair up and went out after being dressed up exquisitely. She couldn't walk fast at all with this look.

What's more, she is over 40 years old. Women of this age are more aware of the people and things that come to their door, and escaping is not an option at all.

Tina didn't go far, but decided to call him back and sit with him.

At this time, the wind and rain outside are getting stronger and stronger.But the coffee shop was very quiet, Jia Wei was sitting opposite her, with only two cups of coffee between them.

They hadn't seen each other for many years, but they finally met on a narrow road in this always rainy city.

Tina took a sip of coffee, feeling a little irritable. This emotion was inexplicable. It was obvious that Jiawei was a harmless man, but she was still uneasy sitting here.

In the end, Jia Wei asked her dryly: "Are you...how are you doing recently? I don't think you have changed at all."

She nodded pointlessly, what could be wrong?At this age, she is still alone, everything is good, and nothing is bad.

There was water on the ground outside the window, the car passed by at high speed, and the splashed water hit the glass, instantly blurring the whole world.

Many years ago, they also experienced rainy days together, hiding under the bicycle shed in the compound.She sneaked up behind him and reached out to catch the rain, then bounced it all on him.At that time, Tina was young, she couldn't wear ten centimeter high heels, she didn't know how to make up, she was just a domineering little girl.

Tina soon realized that her thoughts had drifted too far, she quickly came back to her senses, and didn't want to talk for a long time, so she said disappointedly: "You have changed, you have gained so much weight."

"After you disappeared, I have been thinking about how to see you again. My parents still miss you and want to..."

"Okay." Tina blurted out and interrupted Jiawei. She didn't dare to listen anymore, but she felt that she couldn't treat the old man like this, so she reluctantly asked, "Are your parents okay? I'll see you another day." Look at them."

Jiawei was a little happy for a while, and hurriedly told her that her parents are all right, and they always miss her.The two families used to live in the same compound and knew each other.In the heart of the old man, as long as the love exists in this world, people will not be too far apart.It's a pity that Tina has experienced too much now, like a tired traveler, even if she has traveled the whole world, but once she returns to the starting point, she will always be close to the hometown, and she can no longer face her past self.

She looked at Jiawei's excited look, and couldn't figure out what was wrong with his sincere face, but there were many things lying in front of her eyes, far more than just two cups of coffee on this table, they were everywhere, and she couldn't get through wherever they were placed.

The raindrops on the window gradually increased, Jia Wei clasped his hands together, suddenly lowered his head, as if thinking of something, smiled a little, and said to himself: "Actually, Mom and Dad always thought we would get married."

Tina couldn't sit any longer, and suddenly got up to pay the bill without warning.

Jiawei reacted and refused to let her pay. Both of them suddenly became stubborn, and neither of them would let go until the drink list was torn in half.

She looked at the too fragile piece of paper, crumpled it in the palm of her hand, and said in a low voice, "I don't want to use your money anymore."

Jiawei was also silent. After a long time, Tina raised her eyes to look at him, and saw that his eye sockets were wet.

She could no longer face him, turned around to leave, and said to him: "It's the last time we meet, I'll pay the bill."

But Jiawei persistently chased her over and told her: "I opened a dry cleaning shop after I transferred from the army. It has been good for the past two years, and the business is...very good. I will wash your clothes for you in the future."

Tina shook off his hand viciously, she was clearly not exposed to the rain, but she didn't know why there was a faint mark at the corner of her eye, she was no longer young, maybe she was still pretty, but she no longer had the youthful spirit she had back then.

She was standing facing a golden decorative mirror in the corridor, and the reflection of herself in the mirror made her uncomfortable.

Tina tried to soften her tone as much as possible, and said, "Why do you still come to me? When I needed you the most, you chose to marry someone else. Now I don't need you, and you appeared again. The right person is here Meeting at the wrong time is equal to not seeing each other.”

This is the most mundane truth, people are different, why bother to be cheap for true love?
Tina left quickly, and Jiawei froze in place, staring at her black back for a while, not knowing what else to say, he watched the rain pouring down outside the window, everything was washed away, and she became mature and sensible , but no longer want to follow behind him.

But he believed that she still needed him, and he could see the touch in her eyes, like a paint dish that was suddenly scattered, from light to deep, with mixed feelings, and finally sank together with the night.

Life has been in a hurry for dozens of years. They have known each other for most of their lives, going around and seeing each other again. Those feelings that are easily said to be let go can never be let go.

Jiawei became excited as he thought about it. He didn't know what was wrong with him. When he saw Tina, it was as if he had suddenly returned to an unforgettable adolescence, restless and unable to restrain himself.She is the only obsession in the dark corner of his heart, the girl in his dream who will never grow up...

His eyes were almost red, and he shouted out foolishly: "I'll get you a card for a lifetime!"

Tina smiled in front of her, for a lifetime...they also said about a lifetime in the past, and that was all 27 years ago. At that time, they believed that being together would be a lifetime, but unfortunately they still missed it.

Even now, Jiawei still remembers these three words, but he can only wash clothes for her for the rest of his life.

After all, Tina turned around because of these words, and glanced at the man behind her again.

How many 27 years can a life have?They are no longer teenagers, promising that such things will be gone if they are gone, even worse than clothes, even if they are crumpled and wrinkled, as long as they have the heart, they can be treasured properly.

After 27 years, if he can't give it, she will also have to afford it.

Tina looked at him seriously, Jiawei is indeed a little fatter, and also looks old, he often looks a little blurry, so he wears glasses...

Her nose was suddenly sore, but she was sure she wasn't crying, but she didn't know why the marks at the corners of her eyes were deeper.

Walking out of the coffee shop, she raised her head and took a breath, walking slowly away step by step.

Fortunately, fortunately, it rained.

The same city, the same rain.

During the day, the financial street is crowded with elite white-collar workers, but it looks much empty at night.Tony's Dejia Law Firm had no important cases during this period, and everyone left early, and the whole building was already pitch black by this time.

Katie had been standing under the building for a long time, she didn't do anything, she just stared at the upstairs, counted the floors, and made sure that none of the floors were still lit.

Then she looked at her mobile phone again and again. During these few days of each month, what she did most often was to hold the mobile phone tightly and check it again and again, but most of the time, no one called.At first she was nervous about whether her mobile phone had no signal, and she wanted to change all the numbers that advertised a good signal, but in the end she found that she would rather have no mobile phone signal than Tony never contacted her.

Every woman has a proud side, but you never know how far a woman can lower her stance for love.

Tina was right, it was much more painful than a period.

Katie plucked up her courage and came all the way, making all the mental preparations, but when she saw that all the lights in the office were dark, she felt cold all over at that moment.

What her best friend said repeatedly in her ears, she vowed to find Tony tonight.

She was angry with herself and tried to dial his mobile phone, but over and over again, dozens of times, it was still "the number you dialed was not answered, please try again later".

The battery of the mobile phone is about to run out, and she has prepared a power bank for it in her bag, just in case she misses any call.

Katie stared at the battery icon in a daze. She has always believed that love is sacrifice, a compromise and concession between two people. She thought she was doing a good job, but after a long time, she was just like this battery, so sad that she could not continue .

She finally gave up and sat slumped on the edge of a flower bed beside Financial Street.She was only wearing a short black skirt, and the edge of the stone flower bed kept pricking her legs, but she didn't seem to feel it at all.The wind blew the hair in front of her forehead, and the lights in the corner were dim. A living person is not as good as the rose that has just been transplanted behind her, and the whole person is dimmed into a black shadow.

Katie began to recall why they became what they are today. She struggled alone in Beijing and has been doing public relations exhibitions. Now she is the manager of a public relations company. Work in Shanghai.Tony will disappear for a few days every month, and he always has excuses, meetings, busy cases, new clients... When the excuses are repeated again and again, Katie knows what he will say this month to prevaricate without listening, She was finally sure that he was with that woman in Shanghai.

She tried to think about what Tony was saying to each other, so late, they were hugging, or kissing...

The more Katie thought about it, the more nervous she became. In front of her was the downstairs door of the building, and the security guard was at least tens of meters away from her. She couldn't see each other's expressions clearly, but she believed that the other party had been staring at her.

Gradually, she waited in the night wind and turned into a fiery hedgehog. Every plant and tree seemed to have a blood feud with her, but she couldn't vent it.She was furious secretly, grabbing the withered grass in the flower bed, as if they all knew that she was a fool who had lost her man.

Time passed by, and the night became thicker and darker. Something cold dripped on Katie's lips. It was raining...or the damn air-conditioning condensation?Katie realized that she had lost even the last place to wait, and she stood up bitterly. She had had enough and couldn't think about it anymore.

She finally let her mobile phone play its due role, contacted her friends who love to go to nightclubs in Shanghai, got up again, took a taxi, and went straight to the most famous nightclub in the city.

The most indispensable thing in a nightclub is the hustle and bustle, the air is full of the smell of alcohol and hormones, the lights are dim, and the handsome men and women on the bar are almost stuck together, while the people on the dance floor are frantically twisting their bodies and not shy away from touching each other.

Men and women in the city come here just to distract themselves, and they will do whatever it takes to have fun. In this kind of place, no one is high-minded, and the most important thing is lunatics.

Katie found the most suitable place for her tonight, but she couldn't help but look at her phone after drinking a few cups.Friends and colleagues all got together to talk to her, one sister at a time, talking about her brilliant performance in the public relations field last month, but she was still absent-minded.

Today there is also a young actor, very sexy, named Zhao Yihuan, who looks like a little wild cat, who attracts men with a smile.

Katie was fed up with the flattery of her peers, and became even more upset, so she went to chat with Zhao Yihuan.

The girl had a good temper, so she said to her, "You guys do a great job in organizing exhibitions. You can always meet male models."

Facing the mirror behind the door, Katie had just reapplied her red lips, pulled her skirt up half an inch, turned her head and sneered, and said, "What's the use of that? You can't eat weeds, so you can enjoy filming." Well, there are so many actors around."

Zhao Yihuan drank another cup, shook his head and smiled, "Sister, don't be ridiculous, male actors are not easy to use. Acting in this drama will be a couple with you, and acting in another drama will be a couple with someone else. And the current actor, Even pretty women may not be attractive to him, so he has to figure it out, can you make the headlines with him."

Katie was amused by her, and thought the girl's words were interesting, she said: "So look at me, I don't touch both sides, I don't eat the grass by the side of the nest, I don't touch the unspoken rules, and I don't accept door-to-door, I rely on myself."

Zhao Yihuan's winking eyes made the audience whistle, but she was not in a hurry to play, she just leaned over and whispered to Katie, "It's good of you, sister, help me find a reliable one when you have time."

Katie pushed her and said, slightly sadly, "I'm not sure of myself."

Zhao Yihuan also laughed. She doesn't have a big circle, so she gets familiar with it after playing a few times.Everyone knew about Katie's rumors. Seeing her appearing today, she looked like she wanted to get drunk and seduce a man, and she wanted to ask if she had a fight with her lawyer boyfriend.As a result, before Zhao Yihuan finished speaking, Katie frowned and got up quickly to go out.

This night almost became a strange circle. Before dawn, people would mention Tony wherever Katie went.

She couldn't take it anymore, and walked to the bar to find that it was even more noisy here. The strange thing was that there were still people arguing with such loud music.

Dan Tong was crying, she was a girl Katie knew before, apparently she had a fight with her boyfriend today.The man was in his 40s, already showing an old look, with a greasy face and a wretched smile. Dan Tong was young and beautiful. After being coaxed by him for so many years, and now they broke up, she was still holding a bottle of wine endlessly. very sad.

The bright red dance floor lights swept over, Dantong's face was full of tears, her makeup was already worn out, her hair was messed up, and she was in a trance, making people look like a female ghost who had just appeared in the world, making no one care about the bar .

The music was so loud that it caused headaches, and Katie couldn't stand it anymore, ordered a drink, and simply sat down next to Dan Tong, "Why are you crying! That idiot is a fake rich man, fake humor, fake considerate, fake everything!" It wasn't for you."

Dantong's eyes were full of tears. She drank too much, but she spoke neatly, "He doesn't want me, who else wants me? I want someone to accompany me..."

At this moment, Katie suddenly found Tina's thinking mode. She couldn't see the good girl spoiling herself like this. She wished she could pour wine on Dantong's head, and she begged her to wake up quickly, "You are not an expired product, why are you rushing to get a discount? For sale? If you sell it at a low price, you will only attract men who are greedy for a moment."

Dantong cried even more when he heard this, and only one sentence remained: "But I have paid too much, I only want him!"

Luxurious and luxurious, there are hugs and ambiguous kisses at any time in this kind of occasion, but it makes people feel lonelier than any other time.

Katie wanted to scold her to wake her up, but found that she had no position at all. She looked at the light reflected from the wine glass, which clearly reflected her miniskirt and heavy makeup. After a long time, she said: "You don't love yourself, who will love you?"

This city is so big, and there are so many sad people, no one can empathize.

As she was talking, Katie closed her eyes tiredly, and simply leaned against Dan Tong. The two red-eyed women drank at each other. You took a sip, but your mouth was full of bitterness.

That night, Katie was hysterical with Dan Tong, and finally forgot her mobile phone.She never knew that the person she was looking for when she came to Shanghai was not in this city at all.

Tony didn't mean not to answer Katie's call, because he didn't even look at his phone.

When it rained heavily in Shanghai, he was in his apartment in Beijing. The woman who came to Beijing with him was Xiaoyao, and she was the reason why he disappeared every month.

Wearing a simple T-shirt, with her hair tied in a ponytail, Xiao Yao patiently dragged the suitcases of the two of them to the bedside to pack them.

The boxes of the two of them were piled up together, which seemed to far exceed Xiao Yao's load, but Tony didn't move. He quietly watched her from behind for a long time, unwilling to disturb her.

She has always been so quiet and simple.She also has beautiful long legs, but she is never as scantily clad as those fashionable women on the street.She silently accompanied him through all the difficult times and helped him to accompany his parents in his hometown. She would always be like a well-behaved little animal, following him by his side, hardworking and overly docile.

The light in the bedroom made Xiao Yao's back look softer. Tony looked at it for a while, and she had already folded all her clothes and was about to get up and put them in the closet.

This woman is virtuous and gentle, even a little submissive. She is too kind to him and his family. She can hardly find any faults in her body. The only thing that makes him breathless is her tough patience with him.

Tony still couldn't restrain himself, he watched Xiao Yao pick up a handful of clothes again, and finally reached out to block her.

Xiao Yao didn't know anything, and didn't think too much about his silence today, she just thought he had wrinkled the clothes he had just folded, she lowered her head to tidy up, then smiled and looked up, her eyes were full of he.

He looked at her and thought, she is really a good girl, everything is fine, but she will only stick to the city for him, and cannot give him any motivation and hope to move forward.

This kind of life is stable, but there is no wave in the stagnant water. He can spend a year or two with her... In the tenth year, there is no difference between seeing her and seeing the furnishings at home. They have no urge to kiss, no passion Desires, nothing left.

Tony tried to break the deadlock by saying, "Let's break up."

The movements of Xiao Yao's hands suddenly froze, and there was no surprise or sadness in her eyes, she was just extremely silent and didn't speak.

She took two steps back slowly, as if she was struggling to digest this sentence, and looked at Tony with wide eyes. The light was from top to bottom, and the angle was not good, which made her look even thinner.

She tried to pretend she didn't hear, and said nervously: "Tomorrow, when Dad comes over, I'll pick it up, and I'll take care of the insurance. You...are you too tired?"

Tony thought that since he had already spoken, he should simply make it clear, "Xiao Yao, you and I are really not the same kind. Our life, communication, and circle of friends are not together. We are not suitable..."

Xiao Yao suddenly threw off her clothes and hugged him tightly, her small and pale face was buried on his chest, she seemed to be greedy for his breathing, trying to keep up with his frequency.

Like countless times before, Tony felt she was pitiful and cute, and rubbed her hair, but today he was also very stubborn, for some reason, he insisted on saying, "Look... I haven't touched you for a long time. Xiaoyao, let's break up, you find a man to love you."

Xiaoyao refused to let go, and the two of them were deadlocked like this. On the ground were the clothes she washed for them, and the boxes she packed. Besides, she gave too much, time, patience, and love for him. Love.

There is nothing wrong with her, it is him who is bad.

Tony wanted to say something else, and reached out his hand to ask Xiao Yao to let him go, but the door was suddenly pushed open.

Tony's mother tremblingly shouted outside the door: "Xiao Yao? Come on, help me look at this remote control." His mother was too thin, and she was doing farm work all the year round in her hometown, lacking in nutrition, and she supplemented it later. If you don't come back, you won't even be able to match the width of a shadow between the doors.

Tony didn't dare to say anything in front of his mother, the girl on his chest quickly let go, lowered his head, and didn't argue with him.

He couldn't even see if she was crying, she just wiped her face, and quickly went out to support his mother, smiled and coaxed the old man to talk, and went to the living room with her to sit down.

Tony stayed alone in the bedroom, and his mother's voice continued in the living room, chanting weakly and triflingly: "It's really hard work raising him so much, it's not as good as our Xiaoyao. Without you, our two old There is no one to take care of the bones... His father's illness, I don't know if the hospital in Beijing can help..."

He heard Xiaoyao's intermittent laughter and gentle comforting voice. In the past few years, she has always been like this, neither crying nor making trouble, no complaints or regrets.

They have known each other since they were students. In the small place of their hometown, the living environment is similar to each other.We all live in the same small village. When they were young, they were all rustic children. Their greatest ambition was to stay in Beijing and Shanghai.Because of being poor and wanting a better life, Tony tried his best.

As for Xiaoyao... Her kindness to him seems to have become some kind of instinct.After he graduated from university and went out to work, she stayed in her hometown to take care of his parents.When he made his mark in the legal profession, she was still standing still. When he began to learn to identify the origin of coffee beans, she was still used to saving ten yuan on water bills.

Xiao Yao is like the gravel road in his hometown, winding and long, with no end in sight.He has memories and feelings for it, but it always leads to the past.It's a pity that a man can't stay where he is. If he doesn't rush forward desperately, he will never have a place in this busy and huge city.

Tony frowned deeply, and slowly closed the door to block out all sound.

At this time, Tina had already parted ways with Jiawei, and was crossing the river alone in a boat.The shadow of the lamp dazzled her eyes, so that she didn't know her destination, and she didn't want to stop.

Katie was desperate and wanted to give up on herself. She drank too much and went to a room with a man, but she cried alone in the hotel holding Tony's clothes until she scolded everyone away.It was still raining outside the window, and she continued to make calls, but she never got through.

There are always some things I can't figure out. How can true love make people cry?

But tonight they all want to cry.
