I bought two big bags of stuff in the supermarket. Before I left, the male boss opened the door for me and told me: "Slow down, the floor is slippery."
"Okay, Uncle Wang, please go back. It's too cold."
Carrying a big bag in one hand, I walked on the road in stiletto boots. It has been snowing at night for the past two days. When the temperature rises during the day, the snow will turn into water and turn into ice at night, making the whole road slippery.
I usually cross the road cautiously, basically dividing one step into two steps. Now carrying two big bags in my hands, I tried hard to maintain my balance and walked slowly. When I was walking in the middle of the road, a dazzling light shone at me. I turned my head and saw that it was a taxi turning from an intersection not far away, going very fast.
I was anxiously thinking about crossing the road, so I couldn't help but speed up my steps. But this speeding up was a good thing. Without paying attention, my feet slipped and I sat on the ground with a 'plop'. There was also a "crash" sound coming from the bag on the right, probably because the cans and bottles were broken.
This fall hit me hard, and I couldn't get up for a while. The taxi coming from the right changed its high beam headlights and slowly stopped beside me.
I was embarrassed to look up at the driver of the car. I always felt that it was too embarrassing to fall down on the road like this.
'Bang, bang', there were two sounds of doors opening and closing in succession. One was the taxi driver on my right getting out, and the other...
I instinctively looked to the left.
The person who got out of the back seat of the taxi at the entrance of the community was wearing a dark gray long windbreaker, black pants, and a dark blue sweater... He was ten meters away from me, but he was almost running towards me. Come this way.
I had guessed that the person in the car was Luo Xiangdong, but the moment I actually saw him, my heart felt as calm as a pool of stagnant water.
"Oh, are you okay?"
The taxi driver on my right came over to help me. I was holding my left hand on the ground, but because the ground was covered with ice, my palms were numb from the cold and I couldn't use my strength at all. In addition, the heels of my shoes kept slipping, so I couldn't stand up right away. stand up.
Luo Xiangdong ran to me. He bent down and tried to pick me up. I pushed him away like a reflex, then changed from sitting to kneeling regardless of face, and finally stood up holding the arm of the strange male driver.
The driver was also quite confused. He looked at me and then at Luo Xiangdong behind me.
My coat was covered with ice and snowflakes, as was my knees when I knelt down just now.
The driver asked tentatively: "Is everything okay?"
I nodded and replied softly: "Thank you, I'm fine."
The driver said: "It's cold and slippery, so be careful when crossing the road."
I responded. The driver turned around, got in the car, and drove away.
Our street does not face the main road, nor does it have traffic passing by at all times. After the taxi left, Luo Xiangdong and I were the only two people left on the entire road.
I knew he was standing behind me, but I didn't look back. I reached out and brushed the snow off the front of my coat and my buttocks. I squatted down again and picked up two big bags.
Accompanied by the sound of "clattering", one of the bags was just lifted, and water started flowing underneath. I had to put it down again and opened it. Sure enough, the can and bottle were broken.
There were other foods besides cans in the bag. I frowned and my mind went blank. I reached out and reached inside without thinking. I thought I was a fool to try to take out the glass fragments from the bag with my hands. come out.
My hands were numb from the cold, so I felt no pain at all in the first few seconds after being cut by the glass fragments.
I threw two pieces of broken glass out in succession until I saw a dazzling bright red slowly oozing out from my fingers... they were bleeding.
I am most afraid of wounds, even those on myself and others, because they hurt just looking at them.
When I was staring at my fingers and hesitated, Luo Xiangdong came to my side in two steps. He bent down to help me carry the bag. I said nothing and reached out to grab it.
Carrying the dripping bag, I quickly turned around and walked across the street. The high-heeled boots under my feet were really bad, and they slipped every step of the way. When I was about to fall, Luo Xiangdong quickly supported me, and I threw him away like crazy as if being bitten by a dog.
Luo Xiangdong didn't pull me hard. He let go of his hand. The inertia and the slipping of the heel caused me to stumble again. Although I didn't fall, it brought out all the anger I had suppressed.
I immediately slammed the bag in my hand at Luo Xiangdong's feet. There was a "crash, clatter" sound, and the cans and bottles inside shattered to the ground.
I glared at Luo Xiangdong in front of me, eyes wide open, as if he wanted to eat someone.
Luo Xiangdong's handsome face was completely calm, and he couldn't even see his happiness or anger clearly.
On the street where the north wind was blowing, we were a few steps away from each other, staring at Luo Xiangdong. I suppressed my chattering teeth and asked aloud: "What are you doing here?"
Luo Xiangdong pursed his beautiful thin lips and remained silent. Since the last time we met in Lanzhou, he even sent me to the hospital and never showed up again. He only left a decisive message on the phone: We will never meet again.
Who does he think he is
I thought that after more than a month, I could face this fact calmly, but in the end, I couldn't.
The moment I saw Luo Xiangdong emerge from the car, my heart was filled with anger and unwillingness. I even wanted to find a brick on the side of the road and hit him on the head.
He didn't say anything, so I just stared at him and continued: "Didn't you say we don't want to see each other again? I have returned to Liangcheng. This is the last place I can hide. When you come, where do you want me to hide?" ?”
You don't need to look to know how big my eyes are. Maybe it's because of the cold wind blowing in my face, and my vision quickly blurs.
I didn't want to cry anymore in front of Luo Xiangdong, so I quickly looked away, didn't want anything, and walked back.
Luo Xiangdong followed me, and I could hear his footsteps. After being about five or six meters away, he finally spoke and said, "Let me see you."
I didn't look back and just walked forward. It's not that I don't dare to look back, it's just that I shed too many tears and I don't want him to see it.
Luo Xiangdong followed closely and said again: "Zijin, I'm sorry."
I finally stopped and reached out to wipe the tears from my face. Turning my head, I raised my chin and looked at Luo Xiangdong and asked, "You came to Liangcheng just to say sorry to me?"
Luo Xiangdong looked at me and remained silent again.
I clenched my hands hanging by my sides into fists, turned all my anger into arrogance, and replied to him word by word: "I tell you, I don't need it."
Luo Xiangdong stood with his backlight, and his already deep facial features were even more charming in the shadow. I couldn't see clearly what the expression was on his face, but after waiting for a few seconds, I vaguely saw his lips opening, and he said aloud: "There are many things that we can't help ourselves. If you were me, you would be like me." Do this.”
I suddenly felt ridiculous, so I raised my lips with a mocking arc, looked at Luo Xiangdong and said, "You have been guarding my door for two days in a row. Don't tell me that you just want to find a place for yourself to get off?"
He didn't speak, so I said directly: "Luo Xiangdong, what happened in the past is in the past. I won't pursue it, and don't come to me again. You can go to many places except Night City, but I will not go to Night City again. I said no at the beginning. You are the one who met, and you are the one who came to Liangcheng now. Tell me, where else can I hide? Is it true that when you let me leave next time, I can only hide with my family? There’s no place left?”
Luo Xiangdong frowned, and I stabbed him in the heart: "You also know that family is the most important thing. You can't live without family, and so do I. Liangcheng is the last place I can retreat to, and I don't want to see you here again. I don’t want others to misunderstand anything when they see you.”
To be fair, when I said this, the 'other person' I was thinking of was not Ji Guanxin.
But Luo Xiangdong quickly asked: "Are you afraid that Ji Guanxin will see me coming?"
When I heard Ji Guanxin's name from Luo Xiangdong's mouth, I subconsciously frowned and said after a few seconds: "From the moment I left Ye City, I never thought about having any contact with you again, so please don't come here again in the future. Disturbing my life, where I am, how I am doing, and who I am with has nothing to do with you.”
Luo Xiangdong's face suddenly turned cold. He looked at me and said in a deep voice, "Do you really think Ji Guanxin came to Liangcheng to do your best?"
The anger I was suppressing was instantly ignited by him.
My eyes widened, and I asked instead, "Is Ji Guanxin wholeheartedly for me? I know better than you. Could it be that you are just wholeheartedly for me?!"
I could feel Luo Xiangdong's anger from a few meters away. In the past, I would have defined it as a sign of his jealousy, but now...
I said, "Luo Xiangdong, you are really too selfish. You don't want what I give you. Do you still want to stop others from wanting it?"
When I said this, I was really not angry, but frustrated and frustrated.
When Luo Xiangdong heard this, he was unable to respond for a long time.
A smile that was half contemptuous and half self-deprecating appeared on my face, and I said lightly: "People are cheap. You don't want what is given to you. If it's gone, you'll come back to find it again. I tell you, my love, Liang Zijin, will not end just because of injury." It has become lighter, but I will still dare to love and hate as before, and I will even love you deeper, but I will no longer love you."
"I only have one love. This time, I will give it to the person who loves me the most."
I was standing facing the streetlight, so Luo Xiangdong must have seen the expression on my face clearly, even the slight twitching of the corners of my lips.
Luo Xiangdong was standing with backlight, and I could only vaguely see his tight lips and tense jaw.
After saying what I wanted to say, I turned around and left, not wanting to stay any longer.
In the past, when I had an argument with someone, I always felt unsatisfied after the argument. It seemed that there were a lot of things that could be said that were left unsaid at the time. This time, I wasn't arguing with Luo Xiangdong, but I was very happy to say it. I finally explained my feelings to him.
I won't get angry with him, because doing nothing would be the greatest revenge on him.
