The night was dark and the moon was cold.
In the brightly lit living room, Sun Wen let go of the bag in his hand, and it landed on the table with a bang.
It was filled with cash, just like when Xu Wei gave him the money back then, it was piled up in stacks, tied up and placed neatly, and then handed over to her.
Xu Wei raised her eyes and looked over, the big tall man seemed to be finally relieved, his back straightened a bit, he let out a long breath, looked at her in a blink of an eye, pursed his lips and remained silent for a moment.
"We will have no interest relationship in the future." Sun Wen said.
Finally ended the relationship, he gained a lot, but also lost a lot.
Now that everything will be over, apart from relief, he still feels a little empty in his heart.
"It's over?" Xu Wei asked.
"it's over."
"It seems that your gym is doing very well."
"good."
If he didn’t want to settle Xu Wei’s money as soon as possible, he is already preparing for a branch store—there was a pre-sale event at the beginning of the gym’s construction, and part of the funds was withdrawn. He didn’t use it to pay back the money, but spent it all in the store. The decoration has been raised to a higher level. There are not many available shops in the area he chose, and the only one that has invested more than him is also a very old shop. Not only are the equipment a bit old, but some of the equipment is also outdated. Refurbished, there is no one who can play better than him.
Times come and go, and from a certain point of view, he can be regarded as being supported by a nobleman, although this nobleman is a bit unprincipled.
Sun Wen stood there for a while, then turned around and sat beside Xu Wei, poking her hand under the hem of her clothes, Xu Wei didn't move, turned to look at him and smiled: "You don't stay far away from me, and then I don't see you again?"
"I thought so."
"Then what?"
"I can fool others, but I can't fool myself. It is a fact that I have been surrounded by you. It is also a fact how far I have traveled."
After a pause, he continued: "Now... we have resumed the relationship we had at the bar, right?"
Xu Wei smiled, "Stockholm Syndrome?"
"… no."
Sun Wen didn't know what kind of mentality he was in. He thought well before, as long as he paid back the money and got back his dignity, he would never contact him again, and seal up this past as if it never happened.
He can embrace the new life and let it be the past.
Now Sun Wen's thoughts have changed. When he saw Xu Wei, he had already changed. Paying back the money just ended the relationship, but did not bring back his dignity. He was still kept by this woman and used as a plaything for several years—although he didn't deliberately make him do anything unbearable, but the facts are the facts.
An equal relationship can make him feel better, at least when he is with her, he can really feel that he has stood up, instead of running away in a hurry after being surrounded for a while.
Xu Wei sat on the sofa and leaned back, with that indifferent smile still on her face. She didn't care much about Sun Wen's thoughts. She was not someone who couldn't afford to lose, but now she was a little surprised and pleasantly surprised.
Yes, Sun Wen is betting that opening a gym by himself will not lose his fortune, and he has nothing to lose. Xu Wei is also betting, but she doesn’t grit her teeth like Sun Wen and give it a go. She is more like watching her pet break free from the rope when she is bored. When she is in a good mood, feed her a bone, and when she is bored, kick her out - if she wins, Sun Wen will have to stay here until the day she gets bored; if she loses, she can only find another plaything that satisfies her.
Sun Wen fought a beautiful turnaround, and she broke free from the shackles she gave her before she got tired of it. She always felt a little regretful in her heart.
Time to find another one.
Passing her finger across Sun Wen's face, Xu Wei half-closed her eyes and looked at the lights above her head, thought for a while and said, "You said before, you want to be a human being?"
"Well, I said so."
"You've got your wish."
"certainly."
"Hehe... hug me in."
…
…
Tonglin Road.
Qin Guanglin was also asking He Wu about Sun Wen.
"I don't know, you just mentioned to me what he did a few times. I don't think he is a good person. You should avoid dealing with him."
"Which mouth? Can you repeat it?"
"Oh... don't you know all about those messy things, hooking up with rich women? Later you mentioned that he became rich, turned around, and every time he came out, he brought different girlfriends. It's disgusting. Get out of the way, I'll spit for a while."
"..."
Who is the one who has been packaged
Qin Guanglin was a little speechless, but the sympathy in his heart had disappeared without a trace, his life was all made by himself, and he couldn't blame others for having hands and feet.
And later turned over, let alone his sympathy.
It's just that I can't help but sigh in my heart. The older a person is, the fewer friends he has. To be precise, it should be a person like him. As he grows older, he will have fewer and fewer friends.
Interpersonal relationships are too simple, unlike Gaoxin Zhang Dongming and others who call friends and go to the bar KTV to have fun and gossip all day long. He likes to be quiet. He enjoys painting and reading by himself, and the noisy environment is very pleasant. It's hard to adapt, and I don't want to force myself to adapt.
Xiao Yu is more open-minded, whether it's quiet fishing, or going to the liquor store with friends and colleagues to have a good time, he can drink quite well, participating in these activities is like coming home, and those people talk nicely... Bah, it's a play .
In short, Qin Guanglin is a bit lonely, and many adults are very lonely. After a lot of refusals, those friends stopped calling him. Instead, he complied with the saying that like attracts like, and people are divided into groups—but he is a good person. In this regard, there is nothing that we do not keep in touch with, friends are still friends, we still get together occasionally for some serious activities, chatting and nonsense, but we don’t have such a deep relationship like we do with Xiao Yu, borrowing money and so on It has to be considered.
He is also happy with this. The relationship between colleagues is very good. One step closer is a friend, and one step farther is a stranger. It is just right and very good.
Two or three close friends are enough.
He Wu is about the same as him. The relationship between adults is complicated and complicated, and the relationship between them is very simple. The circle of friends is clean, and the relationship between people is clear at a glance. That's why we came together and enjoyed this life very much.
Life is short for a few decades, ordinary days are not enough, how can we have time to deal with messy things - life is too short to have fun in time, different people have different understandings in the eyes, some people just think that colorful is This life is not in vain, the ordinary life can fade into a bird, what is so easy to live, so they live their own lives, and occasionally the trajectories of life overlap, and they will soon separate.
Just like Sun Wen and him, they will only gradually drift away until they lose contact.
The moon is bright and the wind is clear outside the window, and the mottled tree shadows sway gently with the breeze, like a huge monster baring its teeth and claws in the dark.
Qin Guanglin stood on the balcony for a while, until He Wu called him to rub his legs, then he regained his composure, went back to the sofa in the living room and squatted down, took He Wu's slightly swollen calf and gently rubbed it.
Pregnant women always have problems of one kind or another, and he has already mastered the strength of pressing.
"When will you leave?" He Wu asked about the things he cared about.
"It's coming soon... Wait until the end of the month for the official handover."
It is now mid-September, half a month has passed since Qin Guanglin proposed to resign, and about four months before He Wu gave birth.
