I used to naively think that my boyfriend’s girlfriend, just a buddy,
could become a good friend with me.
But after I got to know each other, I learned that there is a word called “woman bitch.”.
Jiang Lu, female, is a good friend of my boyfriend Chen Wei.
I heard Chen Wei mention that they have known each other for more than ten years.
The first time we met, Jiang Lu impolitely put her legs on Chen Wei.
“My leg is killing me. Hurry up and rub it for Big Brother.” Then
she looked me up and down and chuckled,
“Are you Chen Wei’s girlfriend?”? I’ve known him for a long time. Does she mind
? Before
I could open my mouth, Chen Wei answered, “She won’t.”
The tone is light.
As if I were sure that I had no temper. 01.
Chen Wei and I are prospective senior graduates from the same school. Because of the
internship, we rented a house outside.
I like Chen Wei very much. He once saved me from the despair of darkness. I always believe
that we will be together forever.
But the appearance of Jiang Lu made me doubt this obsession.
Jiang Lu is the same age as us. She originally went to school in another city and returned to Beijing for internship
in her senior year. She began to appear frequently in our lives. The
first time we met, I found that she had an unusual relationship with Chen Wei.
They seem to be too close.
Chen Wei explained to me that brothers are like this, as long as Jiang Lu is imagined as a man
, it will not be strange.
I think, maybe I worry too much, maybe they really just have a close relationship.
Until two days later, I played games with Chen Wei, Jiang Lu also applied to join, I can not laugh out
.
Chen Wei’s nickname is “Wrong Cao Wei Jun.” I always thought that “wrong” was an adjective
.
However, Jiang Lu’s nickname is “High-profile Mistake Sauce.”. Stunned at their names, I asked Chen Wei, “Lovers’ names?”
“No,” says Chen Wei. “When she first set up the account, she chose this
name first, and let us all call it’Wrong XXX. ‘”
“Which gang?”
“Only those you know, my brothers.”
“But they don’t call it that now.”
they changed it later, didn’t I forget? Here we go! Here we go!
I have no intention of playing games. Let Chen Wei make it clear.
Chen Wei is a little impatient: “If I go out in the name of a lover, will I be killed by lightning?”? If you don’t
believe me, you can ask my brothers. Can we finish the rest of the game?
Our conversation did not turn on the microphone, and the client Jiang Lu called us in the built-in voice: “What are you waiting for
?”? Dilly-dally, come quickly.
“Wrong Cao Weijun” ran over quickly. During the
game, Jiang Lu has been talking to Chen Wei.
Dog thing! Grab my blue? Believe it or not, Dad will beat you!
“Ha, Chen Wei, you can’t.”
I closed the microphone all the way, and it was very unpleasant to hear. When the blue came out again, Chen Wei hastened to call me, “My wife, come and get the blue from me.”
I ran there.
Randomly matched teammates open the microphone: “Brother, do you want to be so cruel to single dogs?”? Isn’t your wife
right next to you?
I was stunned.
Standing next to Chen Wei is the “high-profile mistake sauce.”.
Teammates misunderstood.
Jiang Lu, as if she had not heard, closed the microphone and said nothing. “She’s not my wife,” explains
Chen Wei. “That’Sui Sui Ping An ‘is.”
I didn’t go any further. I turned around and went somewhere else.
Chen Wei asked me, “Why aren’t you coming?”
“I’m not going, and I’m going to brush the other points.”
“Oh.”
Finally, the blue was taken away by Jiang Lu.
I feel that my quiet life is like that blue, which is about to be taken away by Jiang Lu. After the
game, at my strong request, Chen Wei changed his nickname. I thought it was over, but then I saw Chen Wei’s WeChat.
Jiang Lu asked, “Why did you change your name?”
Chen Wei: “My wife asked me to change it.”
Jiang Lu: “Surprise.jpg, she won’t mind our names, right?”
Chen Wei: “I do mind a little..”
Jiang Lu: “Is she angry?”
Chen Wei: “Yes.”
Jiang Lu: I’m convinced. We’ve been friends for many years. What’s there to be angry about? Inexplicable
. So, I only like to play with boys. I don’t like to play with girls. Girls
have a lot of things to do.
Chen Wei did not reply, may not have seen, may not want to return.
But anyway, I’m already mad.
When Chen Wei came out of the bath, I pointed to the conversation in his cell phone and asked him what was going on.
“That’s the way Jiang Lu talks. Don’t take it to heart.” Chen Wei explained.
Don’t take it to heart? So she spoke ill of me behind my boyfriend’s back. Can’t I
be angry? “That’s not a bad thing to say,” says Chen Wei, frowning. “She’s just careless and outspoken
.”
Chen Wei! Outspokenness and malevolence are two meanings!
You say Jiang Lu is vicious? Lin Sui, how can you say that about my old buddy? That’s too
much!
I looked at Chen Wei and felt a little strange for a moment.
He’s the same face I’ve been thinking about for eight years, but I don’t seem to know him anymore.
That night, I turned my back to Chen Wei and said nothing.
I seldom get angry with Chen Wei. He is probably not used to it and hugs me from behind.
“Sui Sui, don’t be angry.” He coaxed me patiently. “I won’t let her say that
anymore.”
I ignored it, and Chen Wei patted me.
Sui Sui, don’t you want to talk to me? You said before that you would accept all
of me.
My heart trembled and I thought of the past.
Chen Wei’s face, as if separated by a layer of water shadow, became blurred.
As I said before, Chen Wei once saved me from the despair of darkness, which is not a
lie. There is a lakeside park in my hometown. As the name suggests, there is a lake in it. There
used to be no guardrail around the lake. About eight years ago in the summer vacation, an unlucky man drowned
there and almost died, and the guardrail was erected. Yeah
, that’s me.
At that time, when I was in junior high school, I was playing with my female classmates by the lake. The land on the shore was wet and slippery, and I accidentally
fell into the lake. I could
not swim, and I struggled desperately according to instinct, and my limbs became heavier and heavier.
The lake was very deep, and I felt my body was getting farther and farther away from the land. My classmates could not
swim, and they were screaming on the shore.
But that day, there were few people in the park, and there was no one by the lake. When my classmates ran
to bring reinforcements back, I must have died.
Water poured into the lungs, suffocating in pain.
It was the most desperate moment in my life of more than 20 years.
I met death, and it said it would take me.
But someone suddenly grabbed me to prevent death from bringing me back to the world.
Through the shadowy light, the man’s face became blurred, very young, male, I
only looked at it once, and then lost consciousness.
When I woke up, I was in the hospital. My family asked around for information about the “hero,” only to know that he had saved me and left freely
, leaving nothing behind.
Finally, after several rounds, he heard his name from the old people around the park.
Chen Wei, a native of Beijing, is here to travel.
Just these three. The
flow of people in Beijing is like the sea. We really can’t find more information. We can only put this kindness
in our hearts silently. After I
was discharged from the hospital, my body was fine, but I had some psychological problems.
For example, I was afraid of water. For a long time, I indulged in nightmares every day.
However, as long as you finally see the face through the water, all the fear is gone
.
Chen Wei, he is my God. During the three years of
high school, I studied hard, and when I was exhausted, I wrote his name on the draft
book. I practiced the word “Chen Wei” more beautifully
than “Lin Sui.”.
Perhaps because of God’s blessing, after I was admitted to the Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing, I was pleasantly surprised to find that there was a boy named Chen Wei in the
school.
I thought it might be the same name, but the moment I saw him, my whole heart was about to jump
out-his face was seven points similar to the blurred appearance in the water light.
And he is a native of Beijing.
To find out, I asked him, “Have you ever been to Suzhou?”
He said, “Yes.”
“Did you save a girl from drowning there in the summer vacation eight years ago?”
Chen Wei froze for a moment and looked at me.
Then he hesitated and said, “Lakeside Park?”? There was a red figure
on the water.. I was wearing red clothes
that day. “It’s me, Chen Wei. I finally found
you,” I said to him
, almost trembling.
Later, Chen Wei expressed his love to me and asked me to be his girlfriend.
I said yes without thinking.
Because he is Chen Wei. I have been looking for Chen Wei for so long.
It’s just that I still have some questions about him saving me.
For example, he is the same age as me, but I have the impression that he is very strong and looks like an
adult. Chen Wei said that when he was drowning, he could not see clearly, and I was grateful, so he might be tall in
his heart.
I think it makes sense.
After all, the name, the place of origin and the clothes worn that day can be matched.
And this face that can’t go wrong. After
falling in love, I treated Chen Wei wholeheartedly.
I almost never lose my temper with him, because every time I face his face and think that I owe
him my life, what reason do I have to lose my temper?
Over time, Chen Wei also firmly believed that I must be inseparable from him, and pinched me to death. Before
that, we had no major contradictions.
But after Jiang Lu appeared, I found that there were many problems between us.
I’m a little tired, but I forgive Chen Wei.
Because he is Chen Wei.
Chen Wei’s birthday is coming. We are going to hold a small party for him at home and
call all his friends to get together.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Lu also came, wearing a low-cut dress. I asked Chen Wei, “When did you call her?”
Chen Wei replied, “The brothers are all here. Don’t call her inappropriate. Sui Sui, you can rest assured that
she and I are just buddies.”
People have come, can not be driven away, right? Besides, I didn’t want to make Chen Wei lose face in front
of so many people. I didn’t say anything.
But as soon as Jiang Lu arrived, she put her arm around Chen Wei’s shoulder and said, “Today you are the birthday boy. I’m
reluctant to call you brother. Look how good I am to you.”
Chen Wei answered with a smile. This action of
them looks very uncomfortable.
Chen Wei is not short, and as soon as he lowers his head, he can see the “scenery” on Jiang Lu’s chest.
Jiang Lu also hooked his shoulders and neck, afraid that he did not look like.
Women’s intuition tells me that this is definitely not an unintentional move.
I pulled Chen Wei over and pinched him secretly. Chen Wei still looked like he didn’t understand.
Jiang Lu went to bicker with other boys again.
Brother Feifei is handsome again! Where’s your girlfriend?
“Just break it up. I told you earlier. Your boyfriend is too pretentious. He cries all the time
and has a little green tea.” Women are trouble.. I? I’m different. I’m a tough girl. I’m generous and loyal
. I
know Feifei’s ex-girlfriend.
The girl is just a little thinner and speaks in a lower voice, but she is not “green
tea” at all.
How can someone casually describe an unfamiliar little girl as green tea?
I think Jiang Lu is more annoyed.
Subsequently, someone came to give Chen Wei a gift.
Jiang Lu returned to our side and took the initiative to accept the gift for Chen Wei: “I thank you
for brother Wei.”
“Put it here. Well, it’s all right here.”
She acted more like a hostess than I did.
I suppressed my unhappiness and moved the place where the gifts were stacked. “Sister,” said
Jiang Lu at once, “you’ve been changing places for a while. Brother Wei can’t find you.” “This is his house,”
I said angrily. “Why can’t I find it?” Can
the gift still fly out?
Later, when Jiang Lu was thirsty, she picked up Chen Wei’s cup on the table and drank it down without waiting for me to stop her.
I was stunned. Two minutes ago, Chen Wei drank water from this cup. I don’t believe she didn’t see it.
I reminded her, “You’re using Chen Wei’s cup.”
“Oh.” Jiang Lu smiled indifferently, and once again said the words that made people angry:
“We’ve known each other for a long time, and we’re all buddies. It’s just a cup. Don’t you mind?”
I threw that cup away.
Chen Wei was very distressed and said that it was a limited edition cup.
What is unlimited? I just want to use it to knock Chen Wei’s skull and make him sober.
Chen Wei knew I was angry and didn’t say anything more.
He was always like this-although he allowed me to do it, he always had a reluctant attitude, which made people angry.
Unexpectedly, not long after the birthday party, we quarreled again because of Jiang Lu.
The origin is that one day, Chen Wei suddenly asked me if I had any abandoned drawings. After four years of study in the Academy of Fine Arts, there are countless abandoned drawings, but I don’t know why Chen Wei suddenly
asked this. “A friend of mine wanted to borrow a scrap,”
he said. “What for?”
I asked.
“Hand in your homework.” He spoke very vaguely.
I got suspicious.
Which friend? Why don’t I remember that you still study art
? Before I had finished speaking, I suddenly remembered, “Jiang Lu.”.
Jiang Lu also studied fine arts, but she failed to go to school in Beijing and went to school
in other cities.
I heard that she muddled through the four years of college.
Sure enough, Chen Wei did not hide it and told me directly that Jiang Lu wanted to lend me an abandoned
drawing as a graduation work so that he could get his diploma smoothly.
My first reaction was to refuse.
But Chen Wei kept persuading me.
“Sui Sui, please do me a favor for my sake.” Isn’t it just a waste manuscript? You won’t need it, and if you throw it away, you’ll throw it away. You might as well lend it to
her.
“Good Sui Sui, Jiang Lu is begging me. If I don’t do this favor, it won’t be appropriate.”
I didn’t relent until he said out of the blue,
“I said I wanted to repay my kindness, but I didn’t want to borrow even a scrap.”
I felt uncomfortable listening to it, and I always felt that he was kidnapping me with the matter of saving me.
But he has a point. I owe it to him.
I finally picked and chose, and found a scrap manuscript with the theme “Embrace the Ocean” and gave it to Chen
Wei.
I said, “Just this once. Give it back to me.”
Chen Wei promised.
But even Chen Wei did not expect that Jiang Lu did not take my picture to graduate at all.
She used that picture to enter the competition. I didn’t know until the
organizing committee announced the shortlisted works.
I do not have the WeChat of Jiang Lu, return home, I look for Chen Wei to confront directly.
Chen Wei is also confused, a phone call to Jiang Lu, let her explain clearly. “I’m sorry,” Jiang Lu said uncharacteristically. “I thought this was your
waste manuscript. I’m sure I won’t use it.”
“Even if the manuscript is rejected, you can’t take my work to the competition!”
“Sorry, sorry, it’s my fault. Don’t be angry, sister.”
Look, after all this time, she still calls me “sister.” Don’t I have a name?
“I’ll call the organizing committee now,” I said coldly, “and ask them to withdraw this
entry.”
“No!” Jiang Lu’s face immediately changed. “If you do this, they’ll think I’m stealing works
. Then how can I stay in this circle in the future?”
“You are stealing works.”
Jiang Lu glanced at Chen Wei and said, “Brother Wei, do you think it’s right? It was your girlfriend who gave me the
painting!”
I Can
this man have a little face?
Chen Wei seems to be in a dilemma.
“Brother Wei, this opportunity is very important to me. If the school
finds out, I won’t be allowed to graduate. You know my mother’s temper. She can
beat me to death!”. Chen Wei wavered: “Sui Sui, forget it.” You can
‘t just let it go! This is my work, and no one can use it!
But Jiang Lu’s situation is really not convenient to expose. Look, if you don’t let it go this time
, I promise she won’t have a next time.
I looked at Chen Wei and asked, Who are you to her? Who are you to give her your word?
I seldom talk to Chen Wei like this. He was stunned for a moment and looked a little annoyed.
“Lin Sui, be reasonable!”
Am I unreasonable? All right, I’ll reason with the organizing committee.
All right, isn’t it just a waste manuscript? You have so many waste manuscripts. Why don’t
you just draw them casually? Is it interesting to haggle over every ounce?
I can’t believe it was Chen Wei who said that.
I said, “Chen Wei, think carefully about the name of that picture.”
“What?” Chen Wei recalls, “What’s
wrong with the name Embrace the Ocean?”
I did not speak, and my eyes were suddenly sour.
He asked me what was wrong. That picture was drawn when I was fighting against fear, but after drawing, I felt that I
had not overcome fear, I only drew the surface peace.
So I scrapped it.
Chen Wei’s indifferent “What’s wrong?” Was even more
distressing to me than Jiang Lu’s use of my painting in a competition.
I finally did not go to the organizing committee to expose Jiang Lu.
Chen Wei later reacted and panicked for several days, trying to coax me.
He knows my weakness too well and knows what to say to please me.
He swore to me that as long as the matter was over and I didn’t mention it, he would keep
a distance from Jiang Lu in the future. I agreed to exchange
a piece of waste manuscript for a piece of peace of mind.
Chen Wei really did what he said, and he stopped communicating with Jiang Lu for a long time.
Jiang Lu sent him messages and asked him to play games, but he ignored them.
I naively thought that this would be the end and that Jiang Lu would completely disappear
from our lives.
But I really underestimated their friendship for so many years. After the summer, Chen Wei’s little uncle returned home.
Little uncle called Xing Ran, although an elder, but only seven or eight years older than Chen Wei.
Chen Wei is going to welcome his little uncle. I was going to go with him, but
Chen Wei refused. He
said he hadn’t seen his parents yet, and it was not appropriate to see his uncle first, so I didn’t think much about it. I
just found a satisfactory internship recently. I work as a curatorial assistant in an art gallery. I can also stay in the gallery to paint at
ordinary times. The atmosphere is very good. I worked overtime
that day, and when I came home, I found that Chen Wei had forgotten to
bring the gift he had prepared for his uncle.
I quickly took the gift and sent it to Chen Wei.
He mentioned the restaurant for the reception, and I had an impression. I asked the waiter a little, and I knew
which private room it was. The door of the
private room was unclosed, and I heard a familiar voice.
“Chen Wei, you are too unkind to ignore me for so long. Come on, you must drink this cup with
me, or I will make trouble.”
It was Jiang Lu’s voice, which was different from her usual carelessness, and her words were somewhat coquettish
. The person
on the side heckles: “Drink to cross a cup!”! Drink a cross cup! Whoa! I really drank it. “My head was so hot that I pushed the door open.”.
Chen Wei and Jiang Lu’s arms have been wrapped around, very close, I suspect that they can kiss each other with a little side
of their heads.
Chen Wei’s eyes flurried, and he quickly released Jiang Lu: “What are you doing here?”
Yeah. What am I doing here. If only
I hadn’t come.
Disappointment, anger, and an expected desolation.
I threw the gift at him and my teeth were shaking.
“Sui Sui, we are just playing games.” Chen Wei hastened to explain.
But I just smiled and didn’t want to say a word.
My eyes on Chen Wei and Jiang Lu’s face skipped, and then I saw today’s protagonist, Xing
Ran.
I was stunned for a moment.
Not only because when I looked at the past, Xing Ran was also looking at me, and his eyes were somewhat unexpected
.
But also because Chen Wei looks too much like him.
06. I didn’t go home this night.
Chen Wei sent a large message, saying that Jiang Lu had seen his little uncle before, and this time he had to
follow him. Let them do as they
please.
I turned off my cell phone, stayed in the art gallery and painted all night. Leaving
only one lamp beside him.
I repeatedly painted the same picture on the paper-the blurred figure in the shadow of the
water.
Until early morning, when a little white fish Maw appeared on the horizon, the studio was already full of drawing
paper.
Someone came in, accidentally stepped on a painting on the ground, and said “I’m sorry.” His voice
was deep and rich.
I looked up blankly, stunned for a moment, and reacted.
It’s burning.
He and Chen Wei just look like each other at first glance, but they are quite different when you look carefully.
But why is he here? Seeing my continued confusion, he introduced himself: “I am Xing Ran, the owner of this art museum
. Luna told everyone that I have returned to China.”
I was amazed.
Luna, the curatorial director who took me, did say earlier that the mysterious
boss behind us would soon return home.
Unexpectedly, the boss is Chen Wei’s little uncle! The world is too small!
I quickly cleaned up the messy floor.
Xing Ran picked up a piece of drawing paper from the ground and looked down for a long time.
I couldn’t see his expression, but I heard him say, “That’s a good painting.”
“Thank you, boss!”
“Can I ask you a personal question?”
“Excuse me, boss!”
You and my nephew.. It’s Chen Wei. How did you meet him?
I explained to him about the drowning.
Xing Ran nodded thoughtfully. “Is he good to you?”
“Huh?” I was stunned. “No, I’m just asking.”
Xing Ran continued to look at the paintings, and then talked to me about a lot of things about painting. In the
same field, I have a good chat with him. Xing Ran is not the kind of boss
who puts on airs. He is very easy-going. And handsome,
of course. I talked a
lot unconsciously. I didn’t eat or sleep all night, and my physical strength was a little weak. Say goodbye
to Xing Ran. I’m going home.
I pinched the time, this point back, Chen Wei went to work, can not meet, to avoid a
quarrel.
But as soon as I opened the door, I saw Chen Wei’s leather shoes and a pair of strange ladies’ sandals.
I rushed into the bedroom.
Chen Wei and Jiang Lu are lying on the bed. On
a bed.
Like a basin of ice water poured down, cool from the beginning to the end.
I looked at the two people on the bed and felt sick. Chen Wei woke up, stunned for two seconds, and then said, “Sui Sui, nothing
happened between me and Jiang Lu!”
I laughed. “You’re all in the same bed. What’s the matter?”? Do you have to wait until the
baby is born before it happens?
No! Jiang Lu drank too much last night. I couldn’t leave her alone, so I had to
bring her back first. She said she was uncomfortable in the middle of the night, so I poured water for her. Later, she was too sleepy
and fell asleep beside her. I swear, I didn’t even touch her hand!
Chen Wei, you’re not funny. I was outside alone last night. Do you care
? You only have eyes for her!
“I sent you countless WeChat and made countless phone calls yesterday, but you didn’t answer. What can I
do?” Did
you go out to find me? Who were you with last night? Shall I remind you?
Chen Wei was speechless.
Then Jiang Lu woke up and said awkwardly, “Sister, don’t be angry. Nothing really happened between me and him
.”
I don’t want to hear it. It’s disgusting.
I said, “Chen Wei, let’s break up.”
Chen Wei is incredible: “You want to break up?”? No, I don’t agree! “It only takes one person to make the decision to break up. Chen Wei, you’re so dirty. I don’t want you
anymore.”
Jiang Lu covered me with a quilt and said in a strange way, “Not really?”? Sister, do you break up with such
a little thing? It’s too sensitive. We used to be like this.
“Shut up, you are not qualified to speak here!”
Jiang Lu was startled by me.
Chen Wei said, “Sui Sui, don’t be capricious. I’ll explain to you.”
“Don’t explain. I don’t want to hear it. I’m tired. Chen Wei, get out.” I
probably never thought I would break up with him like this. Chen Wei became angry from embarrassment and blurted out,
“Lin Sui, why did you break up with me?”? You’d be dead without me!
I can’t believe my ears.
At this moment, I finally confirmed that the sacred filter I added to Chen Wei was completely broken
.
08． I made up my mind to
break up. Maybe I was disappointed too many times.
I moved out of that house, and nothing was
left except what Chen Wei had given me over the years. I talked to my best friend about it, and she said she wanted to celebrate for me. It turned out that she was not optimistic about our
relationship for a long time.
She said that I mistook kindness for love, and from the very beginning, the relationship with Chen Wei was not equal
.
I think she’s right. What
I love is the Chen Wei who saved me, not the Chen Wei now.
In other words, I have never loved him, I just appreciate him.
Four years of hard work may not be worth a life, but I really don’t want to continue.
Chen Wei came to me later and asked me to get back together. I blacklisted his contact information and closed the door
to him. After
leaving him, I found that there was another way of
life, which was based on myself. My colleagues have been saying that they want to go to the exhibition held by the Museum of Art
in Linshi.
On Saturday night, I got the WeChat of the prisoner. He booked the ticket.
The boss took the lead in organizing the League building, and I responded positively.
But when we gathered the next day, only the two of us came. “Where are the others?”
I asked. Xing Ran: “What other people?”
“Other colleagues in the museum.”
“Just the two of us.”
“Huh?”
Later, I learned that other people had already come on Saturday, and only we missed the real group building because we worked overtime
.
Two. Just two. It’s no big deal. In the middle of the
tour, Xing Ran went to the bathroom, and I lingered in the exhibition hall alone. Suddenly there was a voice
behind him: “Sui Sui?”
Sure enough, it was Chen Wei. I’m so unlucky.
He did not come alone, but with Jiang Lu and several other friends. Seeing no one around me,
Chen Wei said directly, “Sui Sui, let’s make up. I’ll listen to whatever you say
in the future!”
I shook my head. “That’s impossible.”
I know what I said the other day was a bit excessive, and I apologize to you, but do you recall
that we were not happy in the past four years? Do you really not love me? “Chen Wei, to tell you the truth,” I looked at him seriously. “I’m really
not happy with you.” When
Jiang Lu heard what I said, she frowned and said, “Lin Sui, my brother Wei has begged you so much.
Why don’t you buy it?”
My anger flared up. Why do you always interrupt about
me and Chen Wei? Oh, I almost forgot. I made up my mind to break up with him because
I saw you two lying in the same bed. Speaking of,
it really has something to do with you.
I didn’t want to put up with it, and then I sneered: “Chen Wei, you’re begging me to get back together with her.
You really love each other. I won’t be a third wheel. I wish you a long time.”
“Sui Sui, you don’t joke, we are a group of people come together…”
The words did not finish, Chen Wei’s eyes suddenly stopped.
Xing ran back and stood beside me.
You.. Together? Chen Wei asked.
I didn’t answer, but Xing said lazily, “Little nephew, even you can’t
harass my employees.” After the
exhibition was over, Xing Ran invited me to his house for a party. At first, I had some doubts and always felt that his actions were beyond the scope
of his boss and subordinates.
But Xing Ran said Luna would go too, and I agreed without hesitation.
During this period, I have found out the interpersonal relationship in the art gallery. As the first beauty of our company
, Luna has been in love with Xing for many years, but that’s all.
Xing Ran has money and long legs. There are countless people who like him. Luna is not the most special
one.
She can only put this love in her heart, turn it into a driving force for work, and take all our curatorial
departments to work overtime together. The theme of
the party is housewarming. Yes, the boss has moved to a new house. It’s a small
one-storey house with a garden and a swimming pool. It’s the kind of house I dream of. Many colleagues went to the
museum, but I didn’t expect that Chen Wei and Jiang Lu were also there.
Chen Wei is a relative of Xing Ran. I can understand him, but Jiang Lu?
I’m going to eat and drink freely at the boss’s house, and my good mood is gone.
I sat on the sofa with juice and was unhappy.
“I didn’t know she was coming.” The
deep voice suddenly brought back my thoughts. I don’t know when Xing Ran came to my side and said earnestly, “Chen Wei wants to come. I can’t refuse
, but I didn’t know he had Jiang Lu among his brothers.”
“Nothing, nothing.”
“I’ve only met Chiang Lu a few times. It was when Chen Wei was at school. I didn’t know her very well.”
“Oh, oh.”
“I definitely didn’t invite her.”
“I believe in you.” When I
finished speaking, I was stunned. Why is
he explaining this to me? It’s his freedom to invite anyone, and there’s no reason
to explain to me.
“I thought I’d just throw her out. After all, you’re coming, and I’m
afraid you won’t be happy. But my friends all say that’s not good, so I just want to ask you what you mean
.”
I.. What does it mean?
“Well, if you don’t want to see her, I’ll ask her to leave now.”
“No, it’s all here.”
I am very magnanimous, but actually in the heart is saying: Lin Sui, you are promising! You can control
the boss’s guests! In fact, I have nothing to do with Jiang Lu in the whole scene.
She sat with Chen Wei, and I sat with my colleagues, except Chen Wei. Look at me
from time to time, we two groups of people basically do not communicate.
At the hottest time in the afternoon, someone suggested going to the swimming pool to play, and everyone responded
positively. Colleagues told them to bring swimsuits
in the group two days in advance in
order to burn their swimming pool for free.
Chen Wei that group of people also went into the water, the two sides finally mixed together.
I sat on the shore and watched it happily.
At this time, Jiang Lu also changed her swimsuit and stood behind me.
“Lin Sui, why aren’t you in the water?”
“I don’t want to go down.”
“Everyone is down, but you’re not. You don’t fit in.”
“None of your business.”
“Oh, let’s play together. What are you afraid of?”? Here, I’ll help you.
With these words, she suddenly reached out her hand and gave me a quick push behind my back.
I didn’t have time to react. The ground was super slippery. I stumbled and fell straight into the pool. The pool is actually not deep.
But I don’t know if you have this kind of experience, in the most fearful time, people instinctively
want to struggle, there is no time to think. The moment I
entered the water, I knew that the nightmare of eight years had come again.
I screamed and flopped in the water, while Jiang Lu stood on the edge and said contemptuously and sarcastically, “You
stand up!”! This pool is only 1.5 meters! Come on, which single
man did you show it to? Her
words dimmed in her ears.
The water covered my chest, covered my throat, turned into a big hand, and tried to strangle me.
I’m done. While thinking
this, a figure suddenly rushed over, jumped into the pool, and picked me up with great strength
.
It’s burning.
Through the shadowy waves, his face seemed to overlap
with that of eight years ago at this moment. I
was supposed to celebrate the housewarming for Xing Ran, but in the end I had a false alarm. Jiang Lu was directly driven away by the punishment, her expression at that time was very embarrassed, stood at the door and
tried to defend.
But this time, even Chen Wei did not intercede for her, her brothers, did
not say a word.
Xing Ran just told her to get out. I
didn’t stay long, so I borrowed some dry clothes and went home first.
I knew it would take me a long time to cure my fear.
But every night, Xing Ran would find all kinds of reasons to chat with me, which made me sleepy
, and I could fall asleep with my eyes closed.
Therefore, unexpectedly, there was no more insomnia. When I
chat too much, it is easy to have the illusion of ambiguity. I always feel that my relationship with him has changed
.
But what is it? I don’t know.
After all, he is a relative of Chen Wei, and I have concerns. After the
swimming pool incident, Chen Wei came to me again.
He stood downstairs all night, and finally my neighbor asked me to see him and sent him away quickly
. Closer
, I found that Chen Wei’s eyes were red. He asked, “Sui Sui, are you with Xing Ran?”
“No.”
“That’s good.” “Stay away from him,” he said. “There are a lot of women around him, and they are all
just looking at flowers. Be careful not to be cheated by him.”
“And then?”
“He is not in the same circle with us. If you are with him, you will definitely be hurt by him
.”
I laughed. “Chen Wei, do you think you haven’t hurt me?”
Chen Wei is dumb.
“Sui Sui, I really know I’m wrong. Please get back together with me. I’m willing to break up with all
my friends and never associate with any of them again.” It’s strange that
he should beg me in a low voice.
But I didn’t have any waves in my heart, and I even wanted to frustrate him more.
I said, “Chen Wei, not only will I not get back together with you, but I will also be your little aunt.”
Chen Wei did not answer, his face white, look at me, and look behind me. Behind
me.. Is there anything?
I suddenly looked back and saw Xing burning lazily leaning against the side of the car. He’s laughing.
He heard it all.
I’m gone.
God knows how I got home. The first thing to do
when you get home is to open the refrigerator door and put your head in to cool down.
It’s so exciting, really. How can I explain to the boss that I was angry just now? I’m not
going to be everyone’s boss’s wife?
But his reaction at that time. He didn’t seem angry or embarrassed.
He said he came to give me a paintbrush, but I didn’t think I was downstairs.
Recalling his undisciplined but seductive smile, his face began to burn again.
But within five minutes of burning, I cooled down.
Because I received a text message from Chen Wei: “I didn’t have time to say it just now. He seems to have a girlfriend
.”
Oh. I have a girlfriend.
Excuse me. The mood is very complex, there is still some loss, but I also feel that this is the case.
Xing Ran is excellent, and it’s normal to have a girlfriend.
From that day on, I began to deliberately avoid torture.
Every night, Xing Ran still sends me messages about the history of painting and popular TV series, but I
seldom reply again.
One day Xing Ran asked me what was wrong, but I didn’t answer.
To be exact, before I could figure out how to answer, Xing Ran and I became famous
in the circle.
Jiang Lu threw out the photo of me going to the art exhibition with Xing Ran (I just knew she had taken it secretly),
saying that I seduced Xing Ran as a mistress.
Because our boss is so famous, the art circle in this city is so big, I quickly
became popular, and all the groups were talking about this melon.
I was so angry that I wished I could strangle Jiang Lu, a little bitch.
Many students came to ask, I explained one by one, they said they believed me, but what
outsiders think is beyond my control.
Finally, Xing Ran got wind of this, too. He took the lead in the largest painting group in the area,
saying, “I don’t have a girlfriend, so where is the mistress?”.
Some people who knew him joked, “Master Xing doesn’t have a partner?” Xing Ran: “In the past, in order not to be urged to get married, I lied about having a partner. If I had known I would meet
the girl I liked now, I would never have told such a lie.” He
has a girl he likes? Who?
I’m as curious as anyone, but I have more important things to do.
I can’t just let Jiang Lu go:)
When I was thinking about how to get back at her, Xing Ran came to me on his own initiative.
He posted the picture of Jiang Lu entering the competition and asked, “Did you draw this?” “How do you know?”
I wondered.
I’ve seen your painting, and I can see it at a glance. She stole yours?
I told the whole story of the original waste manuscript.
Xing Ran hesitated for a moment and then said, “I have an idea..”
Jiang Lu went to attend the shortlist ceremony in high spirits.
She was also invited to speak on the stage as a representative.
The host suddenly asked her to paint on the spot.
Jiang Lu looked panicked for a moment and sat down on the easel. I watched coldly from the stage.
It is said that she was ignorant and neglected painting for a long time, and sure enough, she scribbled
on the paper and drew a lot of ghosts. The
judges at the scene were a little surprised, which was totally different from the level of her entry!
Jiang Lu explained that her wrist was injured and it was not convenient to paint, so she prevaricated. After
she stepped down, I stayed by the stereo, and finally, I got the conversation
I wanted.
Jiang Lu invited Chen Wei to come together today, and Chen Wei’s voice was also taken in by the microphone that Xing Ran and I had already arranged
in the background.
What’s going on? How could I suddenly be asked to paint on the spot?
Chen Wei: “Didn’t the organizing committee inform you before?”
No! *** it, don’t you? How long has it been since I’ve done any painting? What a fart to paint on the spot
!
“Don’t worry..” How can
I not hurry? Do you think this is Lin Sui’s revenge on me? I took her painting into
the competition, and she tried to make me lose face.
“No, she’s not from the organizing committee.” She can expose me! She is such a green tea woman, what can’t she do? I’m sick
of it! There are also a few pig faces in the audience who have the nerve to be judges.
The conversation went to the front desk word for word, and the whole audience was shocked.
When Jiang Lu returned to the front of the stage, she had already held a good smile, a quiet, gentle
and beautiful look of the years. Everyone looked at
her coldly.
The chief judge played the recording of the conversation again.
Jiang Lu was dumbfounded.
She was disqualified on the spot and publicized to the public, and she was
discredited and criticized in the circle.
Later, when her school learned of the incident, it was quite angry.
Because she always failed and missed classes during her four years of college, after comprehensive consideration, the school cancelled her
graduation qualification. As an accomplice,
Chen Wei was naturally affected. His internship unit somehow heard
about it and thought that his character was not up to standard, so he was disqualified.
Chen Wei went to look for other jobs, but was not hired.
I forgot to mention that the reason why we were able to change the interview session and hide the microphone
in the background was that the criminal boss had the ability to sponsor the competition. 13.
Promoted by the punishment, the organizing committee found me and awarded me the qualification.
I left my real name and used “Sui Sui Ping An.”.
I hope that one day I can embrace the ocean and be safe.
But it’s not over yet.
Jiang Lu was so angry that she tried to get back at me, but she was so stupid that she never succeeded. Finally
, one day, she caught the opportunity. Insult me to my face.
Jiang Lu said a lot of dirty words, I did not hear, just when my patience was running out and I was ready to
fight back. “I know you’re just jealous,”
she said. “Chen Wei and I have known each other for more than 10 years. As long as I
hook up, he won’t fall in love with you at all!”! We used to be together every day. In the summer vacation of the second
year of junior high school, I ran away from home, and he went to Guangzhou to accompany me for two months.
I am stupefied: “Summer vacation of the second year of junior high school?”? Eight years ago?
Yes! Much earlier than you! In the summer vacation
eight years ago, Chen Wei spent two months in Guangzhou? Then why does he have time to go to my hometown
?
I had a hunch that there was something wrong with it and went straight to Chen Wei’s residence. Unable to find a satisfactory job, Chen Wei collapsed at home. When she saw me coming, her
eyes lit up and she almost jumped up. She said excitedly, Sui Sui! You’re finally willing to
come to me!
I went straight to the point: “Chen Wei, where were you during the summer vacation eight years ago?”
Chen Wei was stunned.
“Are you in Guangzhou or Suzhou?”
“I, I am..”
“Don’t lie to me!” I almost shouted out.
Chen Wei was shocked and blurted out, “I’m in Guangzhou!”
I looked at him incredulously.
Chen Wei knew that he could not hide it and told me the truth with chagrin. The man who
saved me was not him, but the man did leave his name and told Chen Wei about it
as a chat, so that he would know what clothes I was wearing that day and where
I fell into the water.
He likes me. Four years ago, he lied to make me his girlfriend. I was cheated by him
from beginning to end. I felt a
great sadness in my heart, but I couldn’t say anything. I raised my hand and gave Chen Wei a loud slap in the face, using all my strength.
He didn’t hide, as if he wanted to repay my four years of youth.
I’m leaving. When
I heard Chen Wei’s anger behind his back, he finally had an epiphany. He lost his girlfriend, lost his job
, and went from being a straight a student to what he is today, which is inseparable from his good “brother.”.
But it’s too late.
I went to the man, and I think I know who he is.
He has a very similar face to Chen Wei, but he is taller and stronger than him, so he can
pick me up in the deep water.
-Twice.
He had already given me hints, when he looked down at my paintings, when he asked me how I knew
Chen Wei, when he was afraid that I would lose sleep and chat, when everyone thought that the swimming pool could not
drown people, but he was the first to rush over.
Because only he knows that I am really afraid of water. In the
art gallery, Xing Ran sits alone in the backlight, smoking a cigarette.
I asked him the same question. “Where were you eight summers ago?”
“I knew that one day you would ask me that, but I didn’t expect it to come so soon,” said Xing
calmly. “I was in Suzhou, and I went to the lake.”
I trembled. “You saved me, didn’t you?”
“Yes.”
“Why did you leave Chen Wei’s name?”
“The old man by the lake was a little annoyed and insisted that I leave my name, saying that you would thank me later,
but I didn’t save people to thank them, and I had already decided to go abroad.” He
paused and smiled faintly. “But I didn’t say anything, and he wouldn’t let me go. I just gave
a name. It’s also a coincidence that Chen Wei and I are very much alike.
“But you didn’t tell me the truth later.”
“Because I don’t know how to open my mouth. I’ve been lying for so many years that even I believe a little bit
.”
I hung my head and wanted to cry.
The truth came too late.
“But I regret it.” He pinched the cigarette in his hand and suddenly said, “If I had known
I would fall in love with you at first sight when I returned home, I wouldn’t have given you up to that boy.”
I looked at him in surprise. “Love at first sight?”
“The other day, you brought a gift to look for Chen Wei. I could see that you were angry. I was very puzzled at that time
. How could someone be so angry and so good-looking? How could such a good-looking
person be Chen Wei’s girlfriend?”.
Xing Ran’s voice was a little stuffy and a little hoarse.
“I’m sorry, Sui Sui. I want you to be safe, but Chen Wei didn’t protect you. I
blame myself.” I cried a lot after I
confessed my love.
I don’t know why I cry, maybe too many emotions come up, can not express
, can only turn into tears.
I did not agree to Xing Ran, because I was afraid that gratitude would be greater than emotion, and I would repeat the same
mistakes again.
I need time to distinguish between these two feelings.
But Xing Ran is my real benefactor, and it is definitely necessary to repay my kindness. I work
harder and shine for my boss.
Xing Ran did not give up, he has been chasing me, and put on the surface, engaged in this line
of people know, Xing boss took a fancy to the female subordinates who had an affair with him. Luna looked at me many times and sighed, probably wondering why it was me, but she
soon got over it and happily went into a new relationship.
Later, she helped Xing Ran chase me.
So half a year passed. One after another,
I heard that Chiang Lu had changed her appearance, put away her “manliness,” and turned
into the delicate woman she used to despise the most. She became a mistress, and as a result, she was beaten up in the street
by her first wife. Because
Chen Wei had no company to accept him, his family spent money to let him go abroad for “further study,” and he was
cut off from everyone else. I was the first one to sign the official painter in
our art gallery. On the day of the completion of the
contract, Xing Ran once again expressed his intention to me.
He earnestly invited me to be the boss’s wife.
This time, I said “yes.”. Holding hands,
we revisited the lake. I also tried to go to the beach with Xing Ran. I put
my feet into the waves and then quickly drew back. Xing Ran praised me for my bravery.
I know I’m getting better.
Xing Ran told me that I didn’t have to think about repaying my kindness, and I didn’t owe him anything.
Because it’s natural to save your future wife. I think, this time, I can finally be safe every year.
