Xu Yifan's words inexplicably reminded me of my mother. When Ji Guanxin pursued him to Liangcheng, my mother could tell at a glance that he was interested in me. She also said at that time that I would be very tired when Ji Guanxin was together and that I could not control him.
I was in Liangcheng before, and Liangcheng was very small, and Ji Guanxin had no other place to go except staying by my side. This made me feel that I was sure of him, and he would not go out and mess around.
But after returning to Night City, we did spend less time together and more time apart. If he hadn't taken the initiative to come to me, I wouldn't even be able to touch his shadow.
Also, I forgot that he is the best at lying. He talks so much that I don’t even know which of the words coming out of his mouth is true and which is false.
Everyone around me, including family and friends, all feel that Ji Guanxin loves me more than I love him, and I have always felt this is the case.
I even naively thought that even if one day Ji Guanxin cheated and stopped being with me, I would only be a little sad, and I would never feel so distressed that I didn't know what to do.
But I was wrong. Some pains were caused by slow knives cutting flesh, while other pains were caused by sharp blades moving in and out quickly. When it poked in, I didn't even feel it at all. It wasn't until the blood started flowing that I realized that I was already covered in cuts and bruises.
Ji Guanxin slowly penetrated into my life with his actions, making me accustomed to the feeling of his presence. But now, his deception is no less than the most profound betrayal to me.
I still remember that day in the mall, he told others in front of me that he would not go see Zhou Mengyi, and even fell out with me because I asked him to go see Zhou Mengyi.
Ha, how confident did I say then? I feel that I am very good, and Ji Guanxin will not let me find someone else.
I really said something cool, but when I turned around, I was slapped in the face by reality.
Sitting in a separate private room with Xu Yifan, I felt extremely sad and didn't want to cry in front of him, so I had to plug my eyes with tissues and grit my teeth to endure it.
Xu Yifan said to me: "Some things can be done over and over again but not again and again, but when it comes to relationships, I think once is enough. Once there are two, he ran to see other women when he was with you. If I want to go to the end with you, I won’t be stupid enough to do something that I can’t look back on.”
"Ah..." Xu Yifan poked me in the pain point, and I immediately lay on the table with my arms crossed and started crying.
Xu Yifan didn't persuade me right away. He waited until I finished crying before pouring me a glass of beer, and then said: "I have lived for more than 20 years, and who hasn't been in a few relationships and met a few scumbag men and scumbag women?" Huh? I have been dating my first love for five years. From my second year in high school to my third year in college, my parents dug out all the money they had saved for so many years and bought us a house in the Third Ring Road of Night City, waiting for us to get married after graduation. . Later, everyone in her department knew that she was admitted to the graduate school of the University of Tokyo in Japan, and I was the only one who was stupidly looking at which wedding photography company was the best. "
"It was a female classmate in their class who looked down upon her and came to tell me that my first love had a private relationship with a Japanese foreign teacher. The foreign teacher wrote a letter of recommendation for her, so the University of Tokyo could admit her under the exception. Ha, this is the case. "Son, I haven't spoken out in years, but today I have opened up the scars for you."
Because after hearing Xu Yifan's painful past, I felt much better.
I raised my head and asked him while wiping my tears: "Does your current girlfriend know what happened to you back then?"
Xu Yifan smiled and replied to me: "She knows better than anyone else. She was the one who came to tell me in the first place."
“…”
Seeing me silent, Xu Yifan continued to smile and said: "I wasn't very familiar with her at that time. Even though we had met a few times and said hello a few times, I was wondering how she could come here to do such a thing. She told me. Later when we were together, I asked her, and she said she just felt sorry for me and felt sorry for me for being in the dark like an idiot."
I suddenly thought about Xu Lu. Could Xu Lu be like Xu Yifan's current girlfriend? She couldn't stand it, so she would rather act as the bad guy.
I said to Xu Yifan in a low voice: "Then you must have been particularly touched at that time, right?"
Xu Yifan said: "Isn't it true? If you're not impressed, how can I cook a meal as soon as I drink too much? If you're not impressed, how can we get along today?"
I burst out laughing and couldn't help but glare at Xu Yifan.
Xu Yifan smiled and then said to me: "Zijin, I gave this example just to tell you that sometimes it's actually good to find someone who likes you very much. I am with my current girlfriend, she is She has been taking care of me. We plan to get married next year, but I have been very busy, so she even took care of the wedding invitations, choosing the hotel and setting the date. "
Changing the topic, Xu Yifan added: "We are not the kind of rich and powerful people, and we can't bear their fastidious attitude. If you want to rush to get married, then find someone who is similar to yourself and is down-to-earth. "
I remained silent because I was in a mess. I didn’t even know what I wanted for a while, so I couldn’t reply to him right away.
The cell phone that happened to be in my bag rang. I took it out and saw that the number looked familiar, but I couldn't remember who it was.
After I answered the phone, I said "hello" in question.
A woman's voice came from the phone, and she cursed loudly: "Liang Zijin, do you want face? Who are you showing to? I, He Xile, want to find someone to touch you, I will tell you openly and with all the gongs and drums, you Why did you have the nerve to ask Yi Yang and his brother-in-law to warn me, did you..."
Before she finished speaking, and I couldn't recover from my daze, a male voice came from the phone. It was all too familiar, it was Kuang Yiyang.
He said to me: "Do you have time? Let's meet."
"Kuang Yiyang, you are not allowed to see her!" He Xile's voice also came from inside, but it was obviously farther away.
I hesitated for a moment and then said, "Yes, where can I meet you?"
Kuang Yiyang said: "Come to Mansion No. 1."
"Okay, I'll go over now, it will take about half an hour."
"When you come, come find me at 208."
After hanging up the phone, I said to Xu Yifan, "I have to go."
Xu Yifan asked: "Who was that woman on the phone just now?"
I said: "He Xile."
Xu Yifan said: "You haven't said anything about your grudge against He Xile before."
I said: "Now I have become a public enemy. If I don't come to work tomorrow and don't call you, please help me call the police."
What I said was half true and half false, and Xu Yifan was so scared.
After leaving the hotel, I took a taxi and went directly to Mansion No. 1. When I went to room 208, I found that not only Kuang Yiyang was sitting there, but He Xile was also sitting a seat away from him.
But He Xile's eyes were red and he had obviously cried.
Seeing me coming in, He Xile raised his eyes and gouged me out.
My eyes just glanced at her lightly, and then fell on Kuang Yiyang. Now when I see him, I always feel cautious.
The private room is not small. As I walked towards them, Kuang Yiyang had already looked at He Xile, while He Xile looked away angrily, as if he was angry.
I walked up to Kuang Yiyang, sat down on the sofa, then looked at He Xi as if he was nothing, and said directly to Kuang Yiyang, "What's wrong?"
Kuang Yiyang said: "Let her apologize to you."
As soon as he finished speaking, He Xile exploded. She glared and said, "Why should I apologize? What did I do to me?"
I thought about what He Xile said on the phone just now. She said that Luo Xiangdong went to find her.
Luo Xiangdong really wants revenge.
Kuang Yiyang seemed to have been entangled with He Xile for a while. At this time, he just frowned impatiently and said in a deep voice: "Have you ever gone to Liang Zijin?"
He Xile said with red eyes: "What did I do to her? I asked her to leave Night City to save you from being upset!"
Kuang Yiyang looked ugly and only said two words: "Apologise."
He Xile was so angry that she gritted her teeth. She stretched her neck and said, "I did nothing wrong! Why should I apologize?"
After saying that, she turned to look at me again and said sternly: "Liang Zijin, you are so cruel! Didn't I just scold you a few times, why did you embarrass me so much?!"
I said, "You didn't just embarrass me, but you also made the chickens and dogs in our community restless. The dead rats scared the female colleagues in our company to the point where they stopped menstruating."
I said it with no expression on my face, but it was obvious that He Xile thought I was provoking her, and she shouted loudly: "What dead rat? What else have I done besides giving you a card? Stop touching me." Throw dirty water!"
He Xile's reaction was particularly intense. For a moment, I felt as if I had misunderstood her.
Wasn't she responsible for what happened yesterday? But who else could it be if she wasn't her
When I was thinking about it, He Xile said again: "I have threatened you, but I have never asked anyone to trick you. You must make this clear to me!"
I didn't say anything. The person who answered for me was Kuang Yiyang. He still looked cold and impatient, and said loudly: "I asked you to apologize, did you hear it?"
When He Xile turned to look at Kuang Yiyang, her red eyes were filled not with anger but with grievance. She choked and said, "Why do you want me to apologize to her? What did I do wrong..."
"You don't have to worry about my affairs with her. Why are you looking for her?" Kuang Yiyang interrupted He Xile with a cold voice.
He Xile pursed her lips tightly. I could tell that she was going crazy with anger and could bear it to the extreme.
Kuang Yiyang turned his head to her slightly, met her eyes, and said, "Apologise. Otherwise, don't follow me again."
As he finished speaking, tears welled up from He Xile's eyes.
She was so desperate and aggrieved. As a woman, I felt sorry for her.
But until the matter is clear, I, the victim, have no position to save others.
He Xile stared at Kuang Yiyang for a few seconds, then turned to me with a stiff neck, opened her lips, and whispered three words: "I'm sorry."
I didn't say a word, but He Xile got up and ran out.
When Kuang Yiyang and I were the only two people left in the room, he looked at me and suddenly said, "Can you stay with me for a few days?"
