Xu Youyuan just sat down among a group of friends and took off the access crystal from her temple. Before she put the bag away, she heard the person on the opposite side say:
"I haven't done it with her in two years."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
The friend said: "Two years? It's true or false, haven't you done it at all? How is it possible? Do you remember how the two of you demolished my sofa?"
"That's all ten years ago." The person who complained about himself was called Ah Gan. He was thin when he was young, but now he is thinner. The two smears of blue and black under the eyes have never subsided. He fainted, and he was thinner than a hemp.
There was no emotion on her face when she said these words, as if she was talking about other people's affairs casually.
The listener couldn't sit still: "After ten years, the two of you are still the two of you. I mean, let's put the quality aside, nothing happened for two years? You and Chen Shu, covered with quilts. Pure chat, how is that possible! The most powerful people in our circle are you and her. Don't say that you can expect to be as passionate as you were in your twenties when you were forced to fry the milk all night long. The feeling effect you want, as long as it is handled, we have to calculate it."
"No, not at all. The last time I did it was very unhappy, and no one mentioned it again after that." Ah Gan shrugged.
"Never tried?"
"I don't have the heart to work hard on this kind of thing." Ah Gan said, "In the past, when I was in my early twenties, I didn't graduate from college. The money was given by my family, so I didn't have to go to work, so why bother with so much. Now, I'm tired from going to work every day. Like a dog, when I get home from get off work, I just want to rest, and I don’t want to do anything. But sometimes it’s good not to say rest, just keep spinning. When I got home that day, the room was full of shredded paper that was bitten by Abu waiting for me. Clean up. Chen Shu will be home soon, and the food has not yet been cooked. Just after sweeping the shredded paper, he found a piece of stinky shit. When I cleaned up, Abu was there and didn’t know how excited he was. collapsed."
"Wait a minute, the last time I did it was very unhappy? Why is it unhappy?" Someone cared about the point.
Ah Gan looked at these friends who had been friends since middle school and grew up wearing the same pair of trousers. After thinking about it for a while, he was not afraid that everyone would laugh at it, and bluntly said: "Chen Shu fell asleep halfway through, and I was also a little distracted. , thinking about the leaking toilet in the house, the water bills skyrocketed last month, and I have to go to the property to fix it. I don’t know what’s wrong with the property in the old community. Knowing that we are not owners but tenants, we don’t care about it every time. I don't like to deal with them either. I didn't know how I thought of this at the time. If Chen Shu's snoring was not too loud to wake him up, the two of them stared at each other, and it is estimated that in the end, no one found out. Something is wrong."
"puff."
Some people couldn't help laughing out loud, and they immediately received the eye-knife of everyone's condemnation.
"I don't think that's the problem here." A well-meaning person planned to comfort Ah Gan, "This kind of thing can be replaced by a couple with a good relationship. It's easy to have it after a long time. It's not just you and Chen Shu. You have been in love for ten years. , have been married for five or six years, right? The left hand holds the right, it is time to think about how to add a little freshness."
Some people objected: "Can't two people be together just by freshness. It's only ten years, and there are still several decades to come. No matter how much freshness is consumed, it will be exhausted."
"Yes, you can't just rely on freshness, but it's worse without freshness. Listen to me. I think freshness is one thing, and the more important thing is..." The friend looked at Ah Zhu, "You and Chen Shu are both so busy. , you should try to avoid trivial things that waste your energy. You are so tired from work and you still cook when you come home? Now who still cooks by themselves, how convenient it is to order takeout.”
Ah Gan said: "Chen Shu has a sensitive stomach, and it's easy to have diarrhea when she eats outside food. She has to deal with the boss, Party A, every day. There's nowhere to spread the fire."
"What fire do you have?"
"Old Zhang is on my head, and I can't get promoted if she doesn't leave. I'm thirty-two years old, and the thirty-third year of next year's New Year's Eve is still a year old. Now this position is neither high nor low, it is completely in vain to continue to spend it. Time. Halfway through thirty in the blink of an eye, I really don't have a chance if I don't go up."
"Then you move the nest?"
"Moving the nest is something that can be done with just a few words. Everyone understands the employment situation, and there are very few jobs left for us. It's not that I haven't submitted my resume. People I like ignore me, and people I don't like don't. I don't want to live."
"How disrespectful?"
"The office is in the sinking area, what do you think?"
All the people present unanimously said, "Don't go to the sinking area. Wasn't there a case of indiscriminate homicide some time ago? The news has been reported for a while and nothing is written."
"I have a friend from the police station. I heard that there was a lot of pressure from above, but the police in the sinking area have no clue, and no terrorist organization has claimed it. The chief of the police station has resigned, and no one has taken over for the time being. Now that It's more chaotic than before."
"Let's stop talking about it, Ah Zhu, continue talking about you and Chen Shu." Someone brought the topic back, "Is there no other choice than the work in the sinking area? If it doesn't work, I will ask you, President Xu, for help. "
Everyone's eyes fell on Xu Youyuan. Before Xu Youyuan opened her mouth, Shi Ye hurriedly said, "The industry is too different."
Ah Gan also shook his head: "I'm a traditional retailer, and I don't know anything about the games that You Yuan made. It's like a mountain. Traditional retail has been hit for so many years, and the market has long since shrunk. We can’t compare to supermarkets and 1-hour fast delivery. It’s fast and cheap, and returns are convenient. We have a large number of layoffs every year in my industry. It’s too difficult to find a job with a salary similar to the current one.”
"You also switch online."
"No online sales experience, who cares about me?"
A friend complained: "You can't be too high or not."
"Don't say it, it's true." Ah Gan admitted, "It's impossible to change careers. I don't think about fertility issues at my age. Even if I learn from scratch, no one wants to teach me. I can't move, I can't walk, Lao Zhang is me. The Wuzhi Mountain on the top of the head is impossible to move. If you want to go another way, all the cliffs are cliffs. There is only one small path leading to a broken village.
"You said let me lower my requirements and go to the sinking area to do a job of 20,000 yuan a month? Yes, I won't starve to death, but my salary is half less than the current salary. It's extravagant, let alone lowering the standard, I can grit my teeth and hold on, but Chen Shu can't agree."
"It shouldn't have been done for two years..."
"I am anxious every day, I can't sleep at night, I can't wake up during the day, my hair is falling out, and I have nothing to think about. When I went out with her, it took a long time to find out that there was someone around me. No one said anything along the way, they were all thinking about their own affairs. Sometimes I think about the other party and I want to find a topic to talk about, but I feel tired to say anything, and it is easy to have disputes, so I don’t say anything at all.”
Shi Ye, who was sitting next to Xu Youyuan, took a sip of coffee and shook his head again and again: "A rod is thinner now than a rod."
Ah Rod smiled bitterly: "It's still a rod that breaks when it is broken. Look at my nails."
She opened her fingers, and her friends came up to see that there were clear depressions on her somewhat yellowed nails, almost on every nail.
"You're lack of qi and blood, it's a bit serious." Shi Ye said, "You have to go for a good checkup, don't delay, in case there are other problems..."
"I want to go, but I don't have time or mood, and I can't do anything."
"You're not depressed, are you?"
"It's possible." Ah Gan lowered his head and drank a whole cup of black coffee.
"I have my troubles, and Chen Shu also has his own difficulties. We all know that each other's life is difficult, but we just don't have the desire to communicate. I have said everything that should be said, and I have persuaded everything that should be persuaded, but there is no improvement. I know it's all wasted effort. , over time, she is reluctant to speak. In fact, the root cause is that I have no motivation. She said that I have no other way, or I don't want to make progress, and I don't want to leave my comfort zone. I know she is right, and she doesn't. Rebuttal. Instead of risking resigning and going to the sinking area, it is better to stay in the current company, at least everything is familiar, and the salary is enough to support the current life. Can breathe when.
"Chen Shu is very disappointed with me, and thinks I'm not motivated. As for me, I think she's not at home at all and doesn't care about me. Don't talk about doing that, she doesn't talk more than five sentences a day, and she hates seeing each other. "
After Ah Gan finished speaking, everyone present was thoughtful, everyone drank the coffee and tea in front of them, and no one spoke for a while.
The friends present are of similar age. They are all over the age of 30. When they reach a watershed in their lives, they complain at every gathering. They cannot do without those three things: health, work, and relationships.
A rod seems to have understood it, and it is not tangled. The words she said to her friends have been looped in her mind hundreds of times, and she has spoken to herself thousands of times, and in the end, the central idea is five words - broken can and broken.
Xu Youyuan leaned on the soft sofa cushions, and Shi Ye asked her what she would like to drink, a latte
"Let's have a cup of black tea," she said. "I can't sleep at night with coffee at this o'clock."
"A rod is nothing." Jiang Yun, who had been silent for a while, drank two glasses of wine, and his cheeks were slightly flushed, said, "It is better to do nothing for two years than to have the Hulunbuir prairie above your head. "
Once again, everyone turned their attention to her in disbelief. Seeing that her cheeks were flushed, she was already slightly drunk, her eyes were staring straight at the table, her chest rose and fell from time to time, as if there was a bad breath in her heart, and her eyes were full of anger. is hate.
"Isn't it..." Seeing Jiang Yun's appearance, all the best friends, who were already inconceivable that Ah Gan and Chen Shu didn't do this for two years, had already guessed a few points from her words, "Could it be that Wu Zhuo cheated on her?"
Jiang Yun smiled and nodded: "It's really amazing, you can't imagine how I found out."
Everyone immediately pricked up their ears.
"At the end of each year, Wu Zhuo's company has an annual meeting. You can bring your family members to the annual meeting. I go there. You all know that. Her colleagues basically recognize me.
"At the end of last year, I participated as usual, and then a little girl in their company looked at me for no reason, and I asked Wu Zhuo who was that. Wu Zhuo said that she was new, and asked me why I asked her, I didn't say anything, I just asked. At that time, I felt something was wrong, but I couldn't tell, and then I forgot."
Everyone: "I have confirmed the eyes, is it the person who greened you?"
Jiang Yun rolled his eyes and continued, "Did my dad get sick some time ago, so I took a leave of absence and went back to my hometown to accompany my dad. I usually let me take a taxi to the station by myself, but this time I was very attentive and drove me there myself. Station. As soon as the car entered the vacuum track, I thought, this is not right. It feels familiar.
"Wu Zhuo will send me good night every night, and I can't be bothered by the thunder. The same is true when I go home. Every night at eleven o'clock, I will send it on time, and the fluctuation is basically no more than fifteen minutes." Jiang Yun took a sip of his friend's tea, Runrun's throat continued, "We have a stable work and life at this age, and the routine of work and rest is not easy to break, we all know it well..."
Someone couldn't help but interject: "One night Wu Zhuo's good night was late?"
Jiang Yun shook his head.
"Why didn't you send it?"
"No." Jiang Yun said, "She posted more than an hour earlier and said she was tired and went to bed first."
Everyone was silent, and there was understanding in the silence.
Jiang Yun said: "I didn't sleep all night that night. Apart from thinking about who the bastard Wu Zhuo was with, I was thinking more about my dad. The doctor said that my dad had to be implanted with radiation therapy. The cutting-edge treatment method has the best effect among all the current programs. But it is expensive, really expensive, I almost fell to my knees when I heard the number. The doctor said that with other programs, the survival rate within three years would be 30%, and the implantation irradiation treatment would survive. The rate is 80%, which is very promising. As for the expenses, I sold the house, put it on the savings, and borrowed a little more, which is equivalent to taking out all my savings since I went to work. It’s just that there will be lesions after five years. The risk of death is equally high, and the doctor also clearly stated it. To put it bluntly, it is whether I want to exchange all my property for my father's life for a few years.
"I'm the only one in my family who makes up my mind. I don't dare to tell my dad. I'm still thinking about Wu Zhuo. I'm upset."
The friends said, "Why didn't you tell us."
"Isn't this afraid of your worries? I originally wanted to complain to you when I came back this time, but I didn't expect to be hit head-on as soon as I came back."
