sleepless tonight

Chapter 52 Love
I stopped and looked at Chen Chen.

Chen Chen looked a little embarrassed, looked at me, then at Ge Xiaolun: "In a few days, I'll buy it for you in a few days, and go back today, okay?"

Chen Chen's tone was somewhat pleading.

"I asked you to buy it yesterday, and you said you would buy it today, but you didn't buy it today, how long are you going to lie to me?" Ge Xiaolun lost his temper, "I ran with you twice in such a cold day, but it was all in vain. Pulling Xiaojing together, I haven't eaten any food yet, and my stomach has been hungry."

"Then shall we go to eat now?" Chen Chen said.

Ge Xiaolun glanced sideways at Chen Chen, as if staring at his enemy, and left without answering Chen Chen's words.

"I'll go with her first." Xiao Jing glanced at me, greeted Chen Chen, and chased after Ge Xiaolun.

Chen Chen also wanted to chase after him, but seeing Ge Xiaolun's back, he didn't continue to chase after all.

"Aren't you going to coax me?" I said.

"Her temper can't be cured by coaxing her at all. If she doesn't meet her request, she can always ignore me." Chen Chen sighed.

I took out a cigarette and handed it to him: "Smoking?"

Chen Chen didn't reply to my words, and took the cigarette directly.

I pointed to him: "I saw you two were fine yesterday, why are you arguing again today?"

It's normal for couples to be noisy, but when Ge Xiaolun left angrily just now, the look in Chen Chen's eyes scared even me. Forgiveness is the only way to have that resentful expression.

"I couldn't buy her the cosmetics I wanted, that's all." Chen Chen squatted on the side of the road, feeling very bad.

"You went to the mall to perform in order to save money to buy cosmetics for her?" I squatted down with him.

"Well, I can get 50 yuan in half a day." Chen Chen nodded, "I can get 100 yuan a day. I have been doing it for a few days, and with the savings from living expenses, the money is almost enough."

"Then why is it still like this?" After buying something, it stands to reason that there should be no more quarrels, I am a little surprised.

Chen Chen smiled wryly: "Original enough, but Xiao Lun doesn't like that kind of cosmetics anymore. The shopping guide coaxed her casually, and she listened. She insisted on another set of 1000 yuan cosmetics."

"I'm just a student now, and my living expenses are all paid by my family. Fifteen thousand a month is quite a lot. Most people in our class only get 1000 yuan a month. My family knows that I'm in a relationship, so they give me more. I paid 500 yuan."

"Everything should be done according to one's ability. She is only about 20 years old and her skin is very good. There is no need to use too much cosmetics." I said.

"It would be great if she thought about me like Brother Chen, but she doesn't understand, she just keeps asking for it, and never thinks about me." The resentment accumulated in Chen Chen's chest also spit out along with the smoke .

"She also said she wanted to rent the house outside. It was [-] yuan a month. I paid for it, including utility bills, daily necessities, rice, oil and salt. She didn't pay a cent."

"You took advantage of this. The old lady of the landlady charged me [-] yuan for a month." I smiled and comforted me, "Living with my girlfriend, no matter what you say, you are not at a loss."

"Yeah, that's what I thought too." Chen Chen nodded and sighed, "I originally thought about going out to live, the higher the cost, the more I can live with Xiao Lun earlier, cooking by myself, and the spare time Reading books in time, going out for a walk once in a while, and going to bed at any time you want, should be a very pleasant thing."

"But I don't feel comfortable at all, I just feel tired."

"This is life." I was silent for a while, then said.

The pent-up resentment in Chen Chen's heart was vented out, and he seemed to feel a lot more relaxed. He lowered his head and smoked, and didn't speak any more.

"Didn't consider changing your girlfriend?" I finally asked.

I don't want to ask this question, but I can't help but wonder, what is the reason, when Chen Chen has so much resentment towards Ge Xiaolun, and when Ge Xiaolun can have that kind of resentful look towards Chen Chen, the two are still together.

"To be honest, I have thought about it. Every time after a big quarrel, I have thought about breaking up like this. It is good for both of us." Chen Chen said, "But I have talked with her for seven or eight years. We have known each other since elementary school. Talking about love, until now."

"In the past, she was not like this in middle school and high school. Buying an ice cream, or taking her out to watch a movie, she was very satisfied. She never made so many requests. But after entering university, it was only half a year. After a while, she changes, she likes to compare, and she wants what others buy."

"That also depends on the ability, and everything must be done according to one's ability." I still said this sentence.

In life, one should be considerate of each other, but in Chen Chen's situation, it is obviously not the case.

"As for the cosmetics she fell in love with this time, she saw that Chen Wenjing was using them, so she bought them." Chen Chen was very helpless, "She never believed what I said, and I said her skin would be fine without cosmetics, so she followed I made a fuss, so I went back to the dormitory to sleep. It was the same in the shopping mall. The shopping guide said a few words, and she listened. Chen Wenjing's persuasion was useless, and she insisted on buying the more than 1000 cosmetics."

"You are still students now." I said.

In fact, not only students, but even me, can't afford so much money to buy cosmetics.

I suddenly thought of Tong Wangjun. When I was packing up my belongings, I didn't see any cosmetics in the house, just a bottle of Dabao SOD honey. I suspected that it was just bought to wipe Chen Ke's face.

"Yeah, that's what I said too, but she didn't listen at all." Chen Chen smiled wryly, "Sometimes I even doubt whether there is love between me and her, shouldn't love be about loving each other, being considerate of each other, and then Have a good life?"

"That's right." I nodded, agreeing with Chen Chen's point of view.

But I just don't know if it's just people like me and Chen Chen who don't have much income who think so.

"If I hadn't talked with her for so long, I'm afraid we would have broken up already." Chen Chen stood up, and it was obvious that he was struggling in his heart, "Actually, maybe I and her She broke up and was nice to each other, but I've never been a decisive person."

"If this goes on, both of us will suffer. Instead of suffering like this, a short-term pain is worse than a long-term pain." I suggested.

"Well, I will think about it carefully." Chen Chen nodded, looked into the distance, and fell into deep thought.

This time, he was also struggling in his mind.

Nothing can be kept fresh forever. In the first few years, there may have been love between Chen Chen and Ge Xiaolun, but people are complicated after all, and the environment is also changing. As time goes by, the love fades and deteriorates. Not surprising.

Or maybe, from the very beginning, the relationship between the two was not love.

Chen Chen and I didn't go back together, he still needs to calm down.

When I was almost home, Tong Wangjun called me.

I thought of the only bottle of Dabao SOD honey on the counter.

"What's the matter?" I answered the phone.

"Are you free tomorrow?" Tong Wangjun asked me.

I thought about it, and I decided to resign. In fact, I don't need to intervene in the rest of the matter. One day, the crisis public relations of the charity fund reached the final stage, and everything was proceeding according to the original plan. Logan asked me to stay in the company. For a while, when the matter of the charity fund was dealt with one day, she probably wanted me to share the commission. When she said it, I knew that I didn't refuse.

Some things must be rejected, but some things cannot be refused.

"Free." I nodded, and sent a message to Tang Wan at night, it shouldn't matter if I don't go to the company tomorrow.

"Okay, then you go to Chen Ke's school tomorrow morning." Tong Wangjun said.

"Did something happen to Chen Ke again?" I immediately became nervous.

"Talk to Dad." Tong Wangjun handed out the phone, and Chen Ke should be by her side.

"Father, our school will hold an event tomorrow, and the teacher told both parents to go, so you must come." Chen Ke's voice, she was very excited, "I'm waiting for you."

"Okay, I'll definitely go." I nodded.

After talking to Chen Ke a few more times, I asked her to call Tong Wangjun.

"Anything else?" Tong Wangjun asked me.

In fact, I really wanted to ask if there was only one bottle of Dabao SOD honey at home, but after a while of silence, I still didn’t ask.

It's not easy to ask.

Even if there is really only a bottle of Dabao SOD honey worth 13 yuan, what can I do, and send some cosmetics to Tong Wangjun?
Not suitable.

"It's nothing, I just want to remind you, don't forget to take the clothes that A Ke wore back that day, they belong to someone else, you have to return them." I found an excuse.
