After I went back and thought about what Ms. Han said, I felt more and more that this paper tiger was just drawing cakes for me.
She said that she doesn't mind me falling in love with Du Hanchuan, as long as I am willing to make concessions, she can even lend a helping hand to our family. But if they are really married, if Du Hanchuan is still so serious about me, it will definitely be a factor that threatens the stability of her marriage. Once my family returns to its previous state, the threat to her will be even greater. Will she be so stupid to strengthen the enemy and weaken herself? In that case, it would be foolish to help me, it would be wise to kill me.
Now I think back to the mailbox that Ms. Han changed when she bought my account. It looks like a fan's mailbox, which makes it hard not to have a good impression. In the end, it took a long time, a grand banquet.
It's not easy to have a sweet mouth and a sword in your belly. I think it's better to have less dealings with her.
As expected, not long after I went home and had breakfast with my mother, I received a call from Du Hanchuan, but the content of the conversation had nothing to do with Ms. Han, and it was different from what I expected: "Are you free tomorrow afternoon, my uncle recently Invested in an indoor play center and invited us to play."
"I 'we'? Why 'we'?"
"He told me to bring my fiancée with me, so I told him that the engagement with my fiancée was broken. He asked me if I had a girlfriend, and I said yes."
"Break off the engagement with your fiancée? You just unilaterally broke it off like this?"
"Otherwise, it's not a divorce, but I have to go through the formalities. I don't want to get married. Are they still holding my neck to get the certificate? I have pushed so many times, and if I persist, I will insult the family." Said Here, he paused, "Let's not talk about that, remember to go to the amusement center with me tomorrow, and I will send you the address. I still have things to do, so I won't tell you."
"Wait, you're only staying in Shanghai for two days, why don't you..." I couldn't finish my sentence.
I don't know if he is too arrogant or afraid of being rejected by me, he hung up the phone at the speed of light, and sent me the address of the amusement center in a blink of an eye.
I remembered that Ms. Han said that Du Hanchuan would definitely cheat after marriage. This is also a very interesting point of brainwashing. Whether he will cheat, maybe even his parents and he himself don't know, as a former fiancée who doesn't have much personal relationship with him, and has never even been in love, she seems to know him better than everyone else.
I don't know whether she loves Du Hanchuan or not, but I want to observe and judge by myself, and I don't want to know about him through other people's mouths.
So, the next day I was very punctual for my appointment.
This indoor play center is built on the third floor of a shopping mall. As September approached, the hottest season was over. The afternoon of this day was sunny, warming Shanghai without haste, and the fountain in front of the building was outlined as beautifully as a dynamic oil painting.
Du Hanchuan stood in front of the fountain, wearing cropped overalls and snow-white sneakers, and a long platinum necklace shining brightly on the black T-shirt. Because of the bracket bangs, tall and thin, he looks like a walking clothes hanger, with a straight head, I saw him standing far away.
As expected of a former school girl, he was secretly photographed by a passing girl and uploaded to the video app. He was playing with his mobile phone with his head down, when he raised his eyes and saw me, he hooked his hands at me.
I pressed the peaked cap on my head, and Xiaomi ran to him in small steps.
He looked me up and down for a while: "I always feel like I went to the wrong place today. You are dressed up so cute, it's a bit of a waste indoors. Should I take you to Disneyland?"
"Ah, it's okay." I looked down at my attire, which was an ordinary pink T-shirt, denim shorts, and high-top canvas shoes. Where is his so-called cuteness...
He smiled, didn't answer, took my hand naturally, and led me to the mall.
Then, more people watched us...
As a girl with good looks and height, I usually turn my head back to some extent, but walking with him, for the first time, I feel that too many eyes are also stressful. He didn't feel uncomfortable at all, instead he retracted his arms, pulled me into his arms, and kissed me on the top of my hat: "Pianpian, you told Han Rong that you're going to get involved in our relationship, huh? "
The topic changed, I thought for a while before I came back to my senses: "Yes."
"Is my baby so powerful, you can like a person as much as you want, and you don't like it if you don't like it."
I pushed his hand away and smiled slightly: "No, it's because I don't want to get too close to you."
"why?"
I looked up at him: "What do you say?"
Du Hanchuan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized: "You want to say that when we broke up..."
"I went to England to look for you and saw you with that married sister."
Du Hanchuan quickly glanced around, covered his forehead, and looked extremely ashamed: "Pianpian, can we not mention this past? Black history..."
"Okay, then you will never talk to me again." After I finished speaking, I turned around and walked out of the mall.
He quickly took two steps forward, grabbed my arm, and said awkwardly: "How should I put it, I have a special relationship with her, higher than a friend, lower than a lover, we can be regarded as partners who accompany each other on a short journey of life Bar."
"I don't understand why it's higher than friends and lower than lovers..." I pondered for a while, raised my head and squinted and said, "Have you slept with her?"
"Had."
"... You want to tell me that you have had friends with guns."
My words were so straightforward that he broke down a little. He shook his head and said: "It's not a friend with benefits, I don't know what that is. Anyway, I was very desperate at that time. There was such a girl who was so enthusiastic and proactive towards me. I... Pianpian, let's not talk about the past, okay?" ?”
"Why does your fiancee say that you are particularly infatuated with her?"
"Ex-fiancee." He emphasized his tone.
"OK, ex-fiancee, why do you say you're infatuated with her?"
"It's okay, it's a little bit when I'm with her, but every time I come out of her dormitory, I don't think much about it... Don't look at me like this, even if you get along with a cat day and night, you can have some feelings more or less , let alone human beings. But I agreed with her from the beginning that we would just accompany each other temporarily, not interfere with each other's lives, and not develop into boyfriend and girlfriend."
I covered my cheeks and said in disbelief: "You, you unruly man, how can you talk about such things so easily, as if you are still very proud?" Although I was blaming him, but I don't know why, but I suddenly felt the burden in my heart fall to the ground.
"Don't be proud, I've said it all, this is black history, you have to ask."
"How long have you been together?"
He took me into the cold drink shop and ordered two cups of taro iced milk tea, and replied thoughtfully: "Probably, three to five months."
"Three months and five months are very different, don't you know?"
He touched his chin with his thumb, and thought for more than ten seconds: "It should be more than four months, and it started in the third month after I broke up with you."
"Why not have a good relationship with her, because she is not single?"
"Well, at first she said she had a boyfriend, but didn't tell me that she was actually married."
"You can't get married, but you can have a boyfriend? What kind of three views are you talking about?"
"Of course it's different. I'm serious about marriage."
"I'll talk about your three views later. I think if you ask her to verify your relationship, she will probably make you single again. Why didn't you mention it when you were with her for four months?"
Du Hanchuan looked at me pitifully, as if asking "Can I not say anything?" After being stared at by me, he could only lower his head obediently and say like a child who made a mistake: "Later, she Gradually, she became serious and asked me if I could be my girlfriend. She broke up with her boyfriend. I felt very sorry for her, but I still refused."
"Why still refuse? Because does she have a boyfriend?"
"Well. She often calls him in front of me, as if nothing happened. I don't really want to fall in love with such a girl. So I made it clear to her later that if you want to touch the truth, we should break up. I I don't love you. She said yes, and continued to maintain the previous relationship, and the two of us continued to fool around for a while... Then I found out that her boyfriend was actually my husband, so I resolutely separated from her. "
"Really decisively separated?"
"Really. I don't want to get threatening calls from strange men."
"And after that?"
"After that, I got another girlfriend in the second semester of my sophomore year, and we broke up in my junior year. After I came back, I got engaged to Han Rong."
At this time, the clerk handed us the milk tea, and he handed me a cup, then reached out to protect me out of the cold drink shop and took the elevator. I turned my head and asked tirelessly: "What's the situation with this girlfriend? Why did you break up?"
Only then did I realize that after he had grown a little shorter, he was very close to me. When I met his eyes with his beautiful light brown pupils, my heart beat a few beats faster, and I hurried up a step. But he followed me one level indifferently, looked at me seriously and said: "She is my classmate from Hong Kong. Her surname is Lin. She has read a lot of books. She is very low-key in school. Her family has crossed over to Taiwan. Before returning to China My dad asked me if I wanted to marry her, and if I wanted to take her to Beijing, I felt that she was waiting for me to mention it at that time. But I didn't mention it. I don't know if she sensed my hesitation and just She told me that she didn't want to develop her career in mainland China, but she still wanted to return to Hong Kong. After that, when I returned to China, it was all over."
"Why didn't you mention it?"
"Pianpian, are you curious baby? Because I don't like her that much, and I haven't touched her in a year of dating. I always feel that this is not the person I have thought about all my life. There are so many reasons."
I was silent for a while: "It doesn't sound like I'm lying, but why did Senior Pineapple say that you were serious about that ****? He said that you were still sad for a long time after you separated."
"I'm quite uncomfortable. I feel how I made people live like that. But it's mainly because of other things." He looked at the marble floor downstairs, his eyes and tone became a little dull, "I feel I am a coward, and I can't even give the girl I like a future, so I have been very decadent during that time."
"Why, because my girlfriend didn't want to go back to China at that time, can't you stay there with her?"
Du Hanchuan turned his head, frowned, and flicked my forehead hard through the hat: "I said that I don't like her that much. I also confused the order of time. Don't you claim that you are smart? "
I screamed, covered my forehead and lamented: "You didn't explain the timing clearly, how can you blame me... Wait, you haven't met that girlfriend in college, Han Rong, you haven't met, so you only touch her. Ever had that sister? This is too tragic! The only woman I’ve ever touched is someone else’s wife?”
"Of course not, don't underestimate me, okay?"
Obviously, as soon as he finished speaking, he regretted explaining to me, as if he had no love in his life.
"Who else?" I raised my head sharply.
"Sorry, I won't say a word." After finishing speaking, he made a resolute gesture of zippering his mouth.
At this time, we have arrived at the entrance of the amusement center. Business here is booming, and it is rare that there are three rows of tourists queuing up in indoor entertainment venues. Du Hanchuan made a phone call, and four staff members came over with walkie-talkies, greeted people with smiles and called "Mr. Du", opened a special passage for us to enter, and showed us their workplace and entertainment facilities.
I nodded my thanks to them, but after a few steps, I suddenly felt that something was wrong, I turned my head and said to Du Hanchuan: "No, didn't you get engaged to Han Rong immediately after returning to China?"
Du Hanchuan looked at a racing facility and nodded calmly.
"Did you meet other girls after you got engaged?"
"Ok."
"Du Hanchuan!!" I really wanted to throw the puppet from the claw machine beside him on his head.
"Han Rong is not angry, why are you angry." He shrugged, "Don't say she is angry, she just doesn't care at all, she just wants to get married anyway."
Thinking about it this way, Han Rong's character design is really not broken, it is exactly the same as what I described and what he did to Du Hanchuan. I don't know whether I should feel lucky for Du Hanchuan or sympathize with him. I shook my head and said, "You are amazing, can you completely separate marriage and sex? Why don't you want to touch any girl you are considering marrying, and the girl you have met is not even a girlfriend. "
"So until now I'm still single." He said calmly, "The girl I want to meet and marry is always setting me up with difficulties."
At this time, the staff stopped in front of several theaters and interrupted our conversation: "Mr. Du, Ms. Hao, this is the simulated adventure theater that we just opened, and this is the exciting jungle adventure of rafting. Do you want to try it?" ?"
"it is good."
Du Hanchuan led me in, sat in the front row of the simulated car under their arrangement, and put down the safety armrest. I turned my head and said to him: "It's better not to waste time with me. I'm not Han Rong, I can't accept cheating in marriage."
"Of course." Du Hanchuan replied obediently.
"If my husband cheats, I will definitely not forgive him. I will divorce immediately without explaining."
"Of course. With you, I don't intend to think about other people."
He said it calmly, but I felt that the softest part of my heart was stabbed. At this time, the lights in the room were turned off, and the movie was about to start playing. Our seats also simulated the engine of an off-road vehicle, and began to rotate and shake. Under the darkness, the heartstrings seemed to tremble slightly. I whispered: "You liar, why did you leave me in the first place..."
After a short period of darkness, the eyes are bright white, the film starts to play, and we enter the jungle.
Because this is the most advanced equipment, the direction and strength of the hair dryer and the driving mode of the off-road vehicle have been completely unified, and the degree of simulation is so high that the fake one can be confused with the real one. I let out a low breath a few times as I sprinted forward, nearly flew off a cliff, and was chased by a huge rolling stone. The cabin rotated so hard that it even threw me onto Du Hanchuan when I turned a corner. I hurriedly grabbed the armrest in the opposite direction to stay away from him, but he directly stretched out his hand and pulled me over, holding me in his arms.
Because of the conversation I had just had, I was more defensive about him than I've ever been in recent times, so I pushed him twice. But he didn't give me any room to back down, he just tightened his grip on me, and ordered in my ear: "Don't move around, it's dangerous."
His embrace makes people very attached, like a huge vortex, if one is not careful, one will sink into it.
Occasionally, I turned around inadvertently and saw his side face illuminated by the fluorescent screen. I just felt that he was no different from that in high school. He was still so clear and clean. The fragrance of flowers, the dew on the sycamore trees in the early summer morning.
But I still stubbornly resisted, unwilling to lean on him until the whole movie ended.
The lights came back on and we both walked out of the theater. He should have noticed my sense of rejection, he greeted the staff, pulled me silently to a corner with few people, and said softly: "Do you still remember what I told you in high school, I want to be a Doctors."
"Remember."
"Later, without my consent, my father secretly changed my voluntary letter and sent me abroad forcibly."
Regarding why he suddenly went abroad, I have guessed various reasons, but this is the truth that I did not guess at all. I said blankly: "Why... why? Hasn't your father always loved you very much?"
"Well, he didn't say anything at the time, he just made the decision for me. So, my self-esteem was very frustrated at the time, and I was closed for a long time."
"I didn't know until after I went abroad that our family encountered almost exactly the same situation as yours."
"... what?" I said in amazement.
"In the eighteen years before that, I always felt that I was quite remarkable. With such a family background and such achievements, I could almost do whatever I wanted in the future. It wasn't until the year I went abroad that I realized that I was really nothing without my parents. Lei Chi is facing huge debts, his parents are invited to drink tea in turn, all credit cards in my country are blocked, and the balance in the bank card is all debited. I can't do anything, I can't change anything, I can only stay abroad indefinitely Waiting for the adults in the country to solve all the problems. In that case, I may not be able to return to the country for the rest of my life. Even if I return to the country, I will be a loser with nothing. Even if I use my ID card to buy a plane ticket, I have to ask the blacklist to disagree. What about you..." At this point, he smiled lightly, mocking all of them, "I am like that, am I still qualified to marry you?"
He said it lightly, without even a little emotion, but I know it's not because he's strong, but because it's been too long.
Now my twists and turns are not completely over. But because of his appearance, now I am standing in the amusement center, instead of squatting in an airtight dark cabin to play games, planning a charcoal-burning journey for myself if I have nothing to do.
Therefore, I don’t know how he survived the time abroad by himself.
Until now, I still deeply remember that when I broke up with him, he said casual words as if nothing had happened, looking cynical and disillusioned.
"Is that why you separated from me at that time?"
He didn't answer, but just smiled slyly, and his tone changed: "It's all because I was in a bad mood at that time, otherwise there is no reason for a little beauty like you not to taste it."
"What about after returning to China? Why don't you come to me right away?"
"I came to look for you, but I just saw you being picked up by your boyfriend when I arrived at the gate of your school. Until this year, the rumors I heard from others were that you and your boyfriend have a very good relationship and are about to get married. "He showed a confused and confident smile again, "I really admire myself. Knowing that you have a boyfriend, you still go forward bravely, and rely on you to be the cp in the game. It's okay to have a wrong three views?"
At this time, a man's voice interrupted our conversation: "Shanchuan."
