"Xiao Xiao, let's break up!"
"Say clearly what you said!"
The beeping busy tone indicated that Lin Chen had hung up the phone. Xiao Xiao suddenly sat on the ground, but she didn't expect Lin Chen to break up with her.
It was still working hours, and people kept passing by in the company's tea room. The whispers from colleagues made Xiao Xiao come back to his senses, "Why did he break up when he said break up? I must ask him to find out." Thinking about it, he wiped his tears, quickly stood up from the ground, and adjusted his clothes. Except for his reddish eyes, he couldn't tell that he was someone who had just lost love. He calmed down and made himself look normal. While thinking about how to ask Mr. Li for leave.
Walking to Mr. Li's office, he explained in a concise and concise manner that he had personal matters to deal with and needed to take a day off. It happened that the company's business was in the off-season, so Mr. Li approved it directly without asking the specific reason.
Xiao Xiao took a taxi to Lin Chen's company. The two of them worked far apart, so they could only meet after get off work. In addition, Lin Chen often worked overtime recently, sometimes in the middle of the night. I just came back, washed up and went to bed, so the two of them haven't had a meal or date together for a long time.
Xiao Xiao has been thinking about what to say when she saw him, asking him why he broke up with him, whether he fell in love with someone else, or was tired of himself. He was so good to himself at the beginning and promised to wait until he earned the money for the down payment. As for getting married, they have already discussed having two children in the future. They have even thought about their names. The boy is named Lin Nuo and the girl is named Lin Nuan. But now they are about to break up. Has their relationship really come to an end? Xiao Xiao thought.
I remember the time when the two first met. They were freshmen at that time and were full of curiosity about college life. When I was a senior in high school, the study tasks were very heavy. The class teacher said almost every day: Hold on, wait. All your hard work will be worth it if you get into college. College is so good, so I have always yearned for college.
After finally being admitted to college, Xiao Xiao actively joined clubs, worked hard to enter the student union, and attended every gathering, not wanting to miss any opportunity to see new things. I remember that once I joined a poetry club at the instigation of my roommate Meijia. I agreed just for fun. In fact, Meijia just wanted to see his male idol. According to her, this male idol was someone she met by chance. From then on, she fell into unrequited love and couldn't extricate herself. She tried every means to inquire about him, and even read many poetry collections for him. When she had something to do in the dormitory, she would read a few poems to everyone, and asked her roommates to help her read and appreciate them. , after hearing that he was recruiting new members for the poetry club tonight, he was ready to join.
Meijia found a seat in the front row, euphemistically saying that she wanted to worship the male god up close. Meijia kept talking about the various advantages of the male god in Xiao Xiao's ears, "He is very handsome and extremely talented. He founded the poetry club by himself. It is said that he can also play the piano. I thought that such a character can only be seen in TV dramas. I'm excited just thinking about it, and I've also inquired about it. He's single now, and he's the perfect boyfriend for girls. This time, sister, I'm determined to pursue him," Meijia said with high spirits.
"Ah, he's here, look, Xiao Xiao." Xiao Xiao looked in the direction Meijia pointed. He was 1.8 meters tall, with clear facial features, dark and deep eyes, and a tall nose. , the thin lips are slightly raised, giving people a strong sense of distance, but at the same time, his presence cannot be ignored. Xiao Xiao thought to herself, this must be the legendary aura. Judging from his appearance, he really deserves the title of male god.
It’s just that Xiao Xiao has never liked chasing stars, and she is not as enthusiastic about the so-called male gods as Meijia. She feels that those beautiful skins may not have an equally beautiful heart, so this so-called male god has no interest in Xiao Xiao. Said he was just a man with a good skin. This was the first time Xiao Xiao met Lin Chen. There was no legendary love at first sight, and maybe Lin Chen didn't even notice him. Who would have thought at that time that their fates would begin to intersect, and this might really be fate!
Lin Chen made some remarks on the stage and invited everyone to join. Before that, he asked everyone to write an impromptu poem. After reading it, he decided whether he was qualified to stay in the poetry club. Thanks to the early stage Meijia's study of poetry also influenced Xiao Xiao, who could barely write one or two poems. Later, both Meijia and Xiao Xiao successfully joined Lin Chen's poetry club.
Because most of the courses she took in her freshman year were public courses, and the schedule of courses was relatively small, she could arrange a lot of time independently. When Meijia had something to do, she would take Xiaoxiao to the poetry club, and Meijia was very happy. Xiao Xiao has a personality that gets along well with everyone. Sometimes she will chime in, but most of the time she spends reading poetry collections, sorting out poems and learning formatting.
Lin Chen came to the poetry club from time to time, usually once a day, to read the manuscripts and give feedback on everyone’s poems. At this time, Meijia was the quietest, only serving tea and water to Lin Chen. , very well-behaved, Lin Chen also continued silently, not paying much attention to Meijia. At first, everyone laughed at her, but later they all got used to it, but they still couldn't stop Meijia's enthusiasm, and she enjoyed coming every day.
Through daily study, Xiao Xiao had a certain understanding of poetry and began to write poems impromptu. Gradually, she gained Lin Chen's appreciation and would usually give her a few pointers and then vote. After registering at school, there is a high probability that it will be included, which gives Xiao Xiao a great sense of accomplishment. She takes the initiative to go to the poetry club every day when she is free.
Meijia’s passion for chasing Lin Chen slowly faded away. Lin Chen was indifferent and she had no choice but to treat him. In her words, why give up a forest for a tree? Although he was The tree is a little taller and more beautiful, but I’m not bad either, so I’ll just continue to be the queen.
Meijia is indeed qualified to say this. She is also a school belle in our dormitory and even at her age. Since she entered school, people have been chasing her in an endless stream. Lin Chen is the first person she has chased in her life. Others have always doted on her and spoiled her, and it was difficult for her to maintain such a low profile for so long.
Later, she agreed to a senior's confession, and the two of them showed off their affection every day, not to mention how happy they were. As the saying goes, it rises because of people, gathers because of people, thrives because of people, and disperses because of people. Meijia never went to the poetry club again, and Xiao Xiao could only go to the poetry club by herself. Without Meijia, the poetry club became much deserted. Everyone was busy with their own affairs. Lin Chen stayed in the poetry club for longer and longer, but he Usually they just do things quietly. Only when eating, everyone will chat about life and gossip. Lin Chen rarely talks to each other. He only adds a few words when talking about poetry, as if there are no poems left in his world, but there are no words. Zi Zhuji, other than that, has always been an aloof man. Xiao Xiao increasingly felt that Meijia had made a very clear decision to give up her pursuit of Lin Chen, and that he was too aloof and boring.
Everyone became more and more quiet, focused on their own affairs, and worked hard to learn and write poetry. The poetry club was getting better and better. At the end of the year, it was named the best club on campus. Lin Chen was also very happy. , booked the best restaurant near the school, and invited everyone to have dinner to celebrate in the evening. This is probably the most lively time of the year, everyone started chatting and laughing, and the boys drank a lot of wine until ten o'clock. It just ended. If the dormitory hadn't closed at 11 o'clock, we could have played even later.
Everyone supported each other and walked to school. Xiao Xiao was probably the soberest one. She had hardly drank. She happened to be walking next to Lin Chen. He was also in a drunken stupor. Seeing that he was not walking steadily, There was a possibility of falling down at any time, so Xiao Xiao supported him to prevent him from falling. Because the girls' dormitory was far away, Xiao Xiao prepared to take Lin Chen to the dormitory door before returning to the dormitory.
When approaching the boys' dormitory, Lin Chen suddenly softened and was about to slip. Lin Chen was already very tall, so Xiao Xiao could only wrap his arms around Lin Chen. At this time, Lin Chen also hugged him. He looked at Xiao Xiao, rubbed her neck with his head, and muttered: "Xiao Xiao, I like you." Xiao Xiao was almost stunned, unable to react for a moment, and let Lin Chen hold her. Soon other boys followed. Xiao Xiao quickly pushed Lin Chen to them and ran away, as if something was chasing her. Fortunately, it was very dark at the time, otherwise she would have to let others see her face so red. How embarrassing.
Xiao Xiao returned to the dormitory in a daze, her head still in a state of freeze. It was not until she heard Meijia say: "Xiao Xiao, give in, you are blocking my way," that she realized and sat down all of a sudden. In bed, my face was still feverish.
Meijia saw that Xiao Xiao was a little abnormal today, and asked with concern: "Xiao Xiao, what's wrong with you? Your face is so red, ah, no one will confess to you, right? Your face is so red, it doesn't look like anything at all The usual you."
"No, no, don't talk nonsense." Xiao Xiao immediately retorted loudly. Meijia smiled evilly and said: "It seems that I guessed it right. I denied it so quickly. Isn't it possible that there is no three hundred taels of silver here? Come and get it from the truth."?
Xiao Xiao ignored her and thought: I still don't know what's going on and how to tell you.
Speaking of which, I am really worthless, being teased so easily by someone talking in my sleep, hey! Xiao Xiao couldn't fall asleep tossing and turning tonight. She kept thinking about Lin Chen's strange words tonight. There were obviously no signs. Xiao Xiao knew that she didn't have amazing beauty. She was pretty at best. There was nothing outstanding about her. Why did she suddenly show up to her? As for my confession, I even recalled every scene I met with Lin Chen, trying to find any clues, but in the end I found nothing. I thought maybe it was just a casual talk, and finally I couldn't bear it and fell asleep.
I got up at seven o'clock the next day, washed up and looked at the class schedule. There was no class in the first period. I was about to go to the poetry club as usual, but suddenly I remembered that strange sentence and began to hesitate. go.
"When will the bright moon come? I ask the blue sky with my wine. I don’t know what year it is in the palace in the sky. I want to ride the wind back, but I am afraid that the high place will be too cold." The ringtone of the mobile phone suddenly rang, Xiao Xiao went He took his mobile phone from the pillow, wondering who would call him at this time. When he saw the caller ID, it turned out to be Lin Chen. He usually only called him at night when he was composing drafts. What would happen if he called at this time? You won't talk about what happened last night, right? Why is Lin Chen so abnormal recently?
Xiao Xiao hesitated to answer the call. The ringtone was still ringing. Xiao Xiao had to slide down the answer button and asked softly and uncertainly: "Lin Chen?"
"It's me, come down here, I'm downstairs."
"Ah! Okay", Xiao Xiao went downstairs full of doubts. As expected, he was standing at the door with a hand in his hand. Carrying a bag of things, he looked at himself with a smile. He had never seen Lin Chen smile like this before. He was so warm and handsome, and Xiao Xiao, who had never been a nymphomaniac, was stunned.
"Xiao Xiao, come here quickly, why are you dazing, I brought you breakfast, eat it while it's hot." Lin Chen said with concern.
Xiao Xiao didn't know how to answer it. Lin Chen was getting more and more strange. He even gave himself breakfast. Could it be to thank me for taking care of him yesterday? This way of thanking him was too weird. Is this the aloof man Lin Chen I usually know? Coupled with yesterday's confession, Xiao Xiao felt as if she was dreaming. Am I really dreaming? Xiao Xiao thought to herself, and she patted her cheek hard.
"Ah, it hurts!" Only then did she finally believe that she was not dreaming.
After approaching him, he rubbed the top of Xiao Xiao's hair and said softly: "Are you still awake? How can you hit yourself? You worked so hard yesterday. Let's go and have breakfast in the cafeteria. These are the pan-fried buns I bought in a long queue at the school gate, and they also have soy milk. It’s good for girls to drink this."
Xiao Xiao mechanically followed Lin Chen into the school cafeteria. The noisy voice finally brought her back to her senses. She looked at Lin Chen in confusion and said, "Why are you so nice to me all of a sudden?"
"I remember I hugged you yesterday and said, I like you. , Don’t you remember? Xiao Xiao, please be my girlfriend! I really like you.” Xiao Xiao choked when he heard this, and Lin Chen quickly took out a napkin and gently wiped the corners of Xiao Xiao’s mouth. .
Lin Chen looked at Xiao Xiao’s eyes sincerely and said: "Xiao Xiao, I am serious. I think writing poems with you is the most relaxing time for me. I feel very warm when I see you. , as the poem said, the years are quiet and good, this is the feeling, so later I stayed in the poetry club for longer and longer, just because I wanted to see you. I remember when I first met you, your smart eyes looked at you lightly. I don’t have the enthusiasm of other girls in my eyes. I had already noticed you at that time. Later, I deliberately let you off when you joined the poetry club. I hope to have more opportunities to get to know you in the future.”
"Oh, I was so narcissistic that I thought the poems I wrote were pretty good." Xiao Xiao said mockingly.
"What did you say?"
"Nothing, just keep talking. Then, why did I never find any sign that you liked me?"
"After that, you often came with Meijia. She always liked to stare at me all the time. I didn't like this feeling and felt very uncomfortable, so I deliberately avoided it. Fortunately, she gave up on her own initiative later, so I often went to the poetry club. At first, I only paid attention to you occasionally. I felt that you were very quiet and very comfortable to get along with. Your understanding was very strong and your poetry writing skills improved quickly. Moreover, the poems you wrote gave people a very free and kind feeling. The feeling of being inclusive of all things is also the realm I have always wanted to pursue. A girl who can write such a poem must also be modest, warm, and considerate. Moreover, you are neither humble nor overbearing, nor alarmed in your actions, which attracts me more and more. , I felt so happy when I hugged you drunkenly yesterday, and it strengthened my determination to chase you." Lin Chen looked at Xiao Xiao seriously.
"Xiao Xiao, give me a chance to love you, okay?" Lin Chen asked carefully.
"Give me time to think about it!" Xiao Xiao thought for a while and said.
Lin Chen looked at Xiao Xiao mischievously and said, "Okay, I'm looking forward to good news from you. Let's go to the poetry club later. I know you don't have class in the first period."
Xiao Xiao said angrily: "Okay", thinking to herself: I didn't expect Lin Chen to have such a rogue side. Why didn't I notice it before? I thought he was just aloof. Sure enough, people can't be judged by their appearance, and now they started to be led by him. Is it a blessing or a misfortune to join a poetry club?
When he arrived at the poetry club, Xiao Xiao had no intention of reading and writing poems. He was thinking about Lin Chen’s problem. Xiao Xiao had never been in love before, and she once looked forward to an unforgettable love like a young girl in Huaichun, like in Journey to the West. Fairy Zixia said the same thing: My ideal man is a great hero, and one day he will come to marry me riding on colorful auspicious clouds. But later, my love affair was cut off by teachers or parents before it officially started.
So I have never been in love yet, and I am looking forward to having one. My seniors also often say that it would be a pity not to fall in love in college. Take advantage of your youth to have a pure love. Love, even if we are not together later, at least there are good memories to prove that we were young and ignorant.
So I wrote a sentence on the paper: I have no doubts about my love for the first time. I hope you will keep your promise forever, have no distracting thoughts and encourage you, and be full of deep friendship. I put this piece of paper in front of him and prepared to go to the second class. Before I could reach the door, I was suddenly pulled by someone. I turned around to see Lin Chen. I was about to speak when he suddenly hugged me and spun me around in the air. After a few laps, I heard Lin Chen shouting happily: "Xiao Xiao, thank you for giving me the chance. I will love you well and I promise not to let you down."
I didn't expect Lin Chen to do so. With such a childish side, Xiao Xiao was a little dizzy when he turned around.
"Let's go, I'm going to take you somewhere, you will definitely like it." Lin Chen looked at Xiao Xiao expectantly
Xiao Xiao answered weakly, holding his head. : "Let's go another day, I still have classes."
Lin Chen grabbed Xiao Xiao and walked out, while saying: "Don't go, what's the point of taking the thinking class? I think Your ideological awareness is already very high."
"How do you know that I am ideologically aware?"
"Isn't it a good idea for you to agree to be my girlfriend? "Explain?" Lin Chen said with a smile. "..." I thought: It's so narcissistic. It seems that I really don't know enough about this guy!
Before I could refuse, I was pulled out of the west gate by him. I seldom walked through this gate, and all I could see were empty fields. Walking on the criss-crossing paths, I could vaguely smell the fragrance of flowers and feel relaxed and happy. , then Lin Chen took me and turned a corner to the left, and what I saw was a large plum blossom. White and red flowers hang quietly on the branches, especially beautiful.
Lin Chen turned around and looked at Xiao Xiao with a smile on his face and said, "This is beautiful. I discovered it accidentally a few days ago. I wanted to take you to see it then. I am very happy today. I hope You can come here with me to see the plum blossoms every year from now on. Okay, Xiao Xiao?”
“Yes, I will always be with you.” Xiao Xiao looked at Lin Chen and replied very seriously.
Lin Chen hugged Xiao Xiao gently, and his figure echoed the plum forest in an indescribable harmony. The two stayed in the plum forest for a long time, and it was not until noon that they returned to school holding hands.
Later, Lin Chen always kept his promise and took great care of Xiao Xiao. He would deliver breakfast on time every morning, and even when he had dysmenorrhea, Lin Chen would personally make brown sugar water for Xiao Xiao. She felt very happy. The most beautiful love in the world is nothing more than this. Xiao Xiao has identified with Lin Chen in this life, and she thinks they can grow old together. After graduation, they worked in the same city and rented a one-bedroom house. Xiao Xiao regarded this as his own home. Although it was small, it carried the happiness of the two of them and their longing for the future.
So now, she couldn't figure out what could make Lin Chen break up with her. After arriving at Lin Chen's company, Xiao Xiao paid the fare and hurried to Lin Chen's office. His colleague told Xiao Xiao: "Girl, her girlfriend came just now, and they went out together. It is said that they are a good match. The man is talented and the woman is beautiful." , that girl is a rare beauty. Not to mention that the two of you have similar temperaments. Who are you?
Xiao Xiao was stunned when he heard about his girlfriend, and didn’t hear anything else. He arrived and sneered: "Girlfriend? Then who am I? "
After saying that, he stumbled downstairs, thinking about when Lin Chen would have a girlfriend again. Since the two of them got together in college, Lin Chen has never been with other women. Come and go, he is not such a fast-paced person, how could he do it, I don’t believe it, I must ask him clearly, Xiao Xiao thought to himself
After taking a taxi back home, the house was empty, and it seemed that Lin Chen didn’t come back either. After that, Xiao Xiao called Lin Chen's cell phone, but the voice prompt said that his cell phone was turned off. Xiao Xiao could only sit at home and wait for him to come back. He was confused and clueless, sitting blankly, as if he had forgotten the time.
A knock on the door suddenly brought Xiao Xiao back to reality. He hurriedly got out of bed and opened the door, shouting: "Lin Chen, I've been waiting for you all day." After opening the door, he saw A beautiful woman stood outside the door, with long flowing hair, and her eyes were very beautiful. While Xiao Xiao was looking at her, he also clearly felt that she was also looking at him. When he was about to ask, he heard her say: "You are the one. Hello, Chen Xiaoxiao, I am Lin Chen’s childhood sweetheart. My surname is Ai and my first name is Xiaoxiao. It sounds very similar to your name, but mine is Xiao unrestrained. Do you think it’s a coincidence? "She looked at Xiao Xiao with a sneer.
She continued: "I came back from the United States three months ago and came here directly to see Brother Chen. We have been neighbors since childhood, and we have always had a good relationship. Our parents had already decided to get married when we were born. If I hadn't studied abroad in college, we might have been married by now. You think you understand what I mean! "She looked at Xiao Xiao arrogantly and asked
Xiao Xiao was already on the verge of rage. She originally waited for Lin Chen, but she didn't expect that he didn't come. His so-called childhood sweetheart came to provoke him first. He suddenly became angry and roared: "I don't understand, go away, I don't welcome you here at all! "I was about to close the door, but I was stopped by Ai Xiaoxiao. She smiled hypocritically and said, "You don't have to rush me. I'll leave when I explain it to you. Let me tell you one more thing. I'm pregnant. I'm already two." It’s been months, now you should understand. "
After Xiao Xiao heard this, it hit her nerves like a thunderbolt from the blue. She was stunned for a while and said feebly: "You let him tell me by himself, such a coward doesn't dare to do it by himself. , What’s the point of sending a mistress? "
"Who are you calling mistress?" Ai Xiaoxiao scolded
"It's you. If you love Lin Chen, you won't leave him and go to the United States alone. Not coming back. "
"Humph, you have no right to care about these things. Brother Chen has forgiven me. Why do you care? We have had a relationship for eighteen years. Isn't it worth your four years? Besides, you You're just my stand-in. If your eyes and name didn't look like mine, do you think Brother Chen would pay attention to you? Huh, I will tell him what you said, just take care of yourself! "After Ai Xiaoxiao said that, she turned around and walked away.
Xiao Xiao was left alone, feeling sad, and said with a sneer: "Ah, substitute, such a bloody plot happened to me, Lin Chen, since You have your childhood sweetheart, why do you want to provoke me? Why do you? Is it because I have the same name as hers that you chase me? Was your drunken confession that day also meant for Ai Xiaoxiao? Hahaha, so funny. "Xiao Xiao looked pale, and her beautiful big eyes became dull.
Xiao Xiao closed the door and climbed onto the bed feebly. She didn’t want to do anything. She thought: I am really a moving joke. Doesn’t Lin Chen feel so ridiculous when he looks at me every day? Without proper self-awareness, he has been delusional all his life. Now that the real owner is back, should he get out? No wonder he often works overtime recently and is not at home even on weekends. He turns out to be looking for his childhood sweetheart. Why, since he has found her, why didn't he let me go earlier? Our relationship for several years is nothing. That's it. Cruel? Xiao Xiao kept thinking like this all night.
The next day when he heard the door opening, Xiao Xiao jumped up from the bed and opened the bedroom door. He saw Lin Chen at a glance. He was putting breakfast on the dining table and said softly: " Xiao Xiao, get up. Come and have breakfast. I brought your favorite fried buns."
"Go to your fried buns because you brought them first. My first breakfast was fried buns, so I started to like fried buns. Are you mocking me?"
Xiao Xiao quickly approached Lin Chen and slapped her, "You don't think so. What, you can still be so calm when you have two feet, do you deserve to trample my sincerity so casually? Lin Chen, the thing I regret most in my more than 20 years of life is knowing you." He said with his arms. Sweeped to the ground. "Tell me, Lin Chen, I'm waiting for your explanation. Am I always Ai Xiaoxiao's substitute? Why do you have to involve me in the bad things between you?" Xiao Xiao looked at Lin Chen with an angry face and asked.
"I'm sorry, Xiao Xiao"
"Don't call me Xiao Xiao, I'm disgusting. Who knows if you are calling your childhood sweetheart again in your heart, and don't say sorry, if sorry is useful. , Why do you need the law? Does saying sorry erase your cruelty? "
"It's my fault, Xiao Xiao. I admit that I pursued you because you looked like Xiaoxiao. She abandoned me at that time? I went to the United States by myself, and I was very sad during that period. Then I met you. When I saw you, I felt like I saw Xiaoxiao. Being with you made me feel very comfortable and could soothe the pain in my heart. But later in my relationship with you It gradually became clear to me that you two are completely different, but I also began to like you. Later, I was sincere in my kindness to you. I originally planned to propose to you at the end of this year, but I didn’t expect Xiaoxiao to suddenly come back. These three people I have been thinking about this issue for months, and finally found that I still can't let her go. I know I can't forgive you, so I haven't dared to see you. I don't even have the courage to say it, but I also know that if this continues, the pain will be The three of us, I'm sorry, Xiao Xiao, let's break up!"
"So you decided to leave all the pain to me, right? Lin Chen, you are such a fucking bastard, my youth is so fucked up! We got married. You stayed together when you said we were together, and broke up when you said we broke up. Why do you think I am someone else?”
“I’m really sorry, Xiao Xiao, if scolding me can make you happy?” If you feel aggrieved, I still have some savings and can compensate you."
"Go away, who cares about your money? Don't show up here in the future. It's best to hide away from me, otherwise I can't guarantee that you won't do anything that will make you regret your whole life."
"Okay, I'm leaving, I'm leaving, don't be angry. I'm so angry." He walked gently towards the door.
"Get out!" There was a closing sound at the door. Xiao Xiao angrily raised the cup on the table and smashed it forward. The cup hit the wall and shattered to the ground, just like Xiao Xiao's heart at the moment. , piece by piece, can no longer be put together.
Zhang Ailing once said: Marry a red rose, and over time, the red will turn into a smear of mosquito blood on the wall, and the white will still be the moonlight in front of your bed; marry a white rose, and the white will become the stain on your clothes. The grain of rice sticky on his face turned out to be a cinnabar mole on his heart.
But Lin Chen, I don’t want to be yours anymore, I just want to never see each other again. You are the pain in my heart that will never be healed. If there is a love medicine, I will drink it without hesitation. . Seal all the memories related to you.
If I could do it all over again, I would rather we had never met and you lifted me up to the sky and threw me down hard. This is a hundred times more painful than never having had it. I will never forgive you!
I am Jin Xi. I hope you like this story. Your liking will be my motivation to keep writing.
