Once something is broken, even if it is repaired in a thousand ways, it will never return to its original appearance. Cheng Zheng and Su Yunjin couldn't bear to part, but they were tormented together. After that night, the two of them never mentioned what happened that night, and from then on, they got along like walking on thin ice. They wanted to stay together, but they didn't know what to do, so they became cautious, for fear of saying a word, one glance would hurt each other, and gradually they were relatively speechless, each licking their own wounds.

The small apartment used to be a paradise for the two of them. Now, I just feel that the small space is unavoidable. Cheng Zheng spends more and more "overtime" hours. When he comes back, it is usually midnight, with a smell of tobacco and alcohol. ; Yun Jin became more and more silent. After get off work, she faced the chessboard as still as the water in an ancient well, but her rank did not improve. As long as she was free, she still prepared meals for the two of them. As for whether he would come back, she did not care.

It was rare on this schedule to come home on time after get off work and open the door. She was busy in the kitchen, and she was in a trance when she was cutting vegetables, and someone walked up to her without realizing it. Cheng Zheng coughed lightly, she just woke up like a dream, the sharp kitchen knife was hanging in the air, and he was sweating coldly.

"I'm back, ready to eat." She smiled and continued the movements in her hands. Cheng Zheng took the knife from her hand carefully, "Don't do it tonight, Zhou Ziyi is coming from Shanghai on business, and I'll invite my high school classmates in City G to dinner tonight. It turns out that there are still several classmates here in our class. , Song Ming, your former roommate at the same table, remember, he is a small man with glasses, but now he is an aircraft maintenance technician of ×× Aviation; and Meng Xue and Zhou Jing are in Shenzhen, and they will come together tonight, just It's a class reunion." After he finished speaking, he walked back to the living room. Seeing that she didn't respond, he came back and added: "Let's go together, I heard that Mo Yuhua is also going."

In the VIP room of the star nightclub, dim and flickering lights and shocking sound effects mixed with the sound of wine glasses colliding and laughter pushed the atmosphere to □. Originally it was just a small gathering of classmates in a foreign country, but unexpectedly, it gathered more than a dozen high school classmates. Of course, some of them were classmates of the same level and different classes at that time. It has been six or seven years since high school graduation. The miserable green boy and the cardamom girl have grown up. Some people have never seen each other after graduation. When they meet again, they are no longer what they used to be. Zhou Jing is now married as a businesswoman, and she is dressed in jewels, where she can still see the shadow of a country girl in the past; Meng Xue became a flight attendant in Shenzhen Airlines, and she is still pretty, adding a bit of capable air; Song Ming has changed the most, and she used to bring The small boy with thick glasses has turned into a man with broad shoulders. Although he is not handsome, he has a calm temperament and a good demeanor. However, Zhou Ziyi still did not change his stubbornness. Fortunately, he has a handsome face. I only feel romantic and suave. I heard that after graduating from college, he inherited his father's business and started the real estate business. It can be said that he is a young man and has a fiancée with a similar family background. She has regained the chubby look she had when she was a girl, and her face is still ordinary, but she has a bookish atmosphere. The most eye-catching couple of the night were naturally Cheng Zheng. Everyone was clamoring to respect the wine of their long-term bitter love that finally became a golden boy and a jade girl. Cheng Zheng was in high spirits, no matter who offered a drink, he would not refuse, and he did everything, including Yun Jin's share. Yun Jin and Yu Hua hadn't seen each other for a while, and the two were chatting privately in the corner, but Meng Xue couldn't stand it any longer, and blocked all the toasting army led by Zhou Ziyi. Zhou Ziyi smiled and said, "It's really weird, the real girlfriend hasn't spoken yet, why do you feel bad?" Meng Xue put the wine glass on the table: "Just because Cheng Zheng and I are friends who played with bare bottoms, why? Like! Drink with me if you have the ability." Zhou Ziyi is a smart person, so he laughed at her when he was willing to confront her.

On Yun Jin's side, Mo Yuhua glanced at the situation over there, and said to Yun Jin, "What's the matter, I see that something is wrong with you and your family." Yun Jin smiled bitterly, "It's not just wrong, it's not a day or two. It's over." Yu Hua only said, "Why bother, everyone knows how Cheng Zheng treats you, a man like this is so committed to you, no matter how many people envy you, why do you do stupid things for the sake of a momentary spirit and miss him? , you will regret it." Yun Jin said sadly, "Why don't I know that he is good, I also want to be good to him, but why are two people who want to be good to each other so tired together? Yu Hua, do you believe in fate? ?" Mo Yuhua said, "I believe it, but I believe that fate must also be grasped, now, look over there." She gestured to Yun Jin with her eyes.

Yun Jin looked over, Cheng Zheng had drunk too much, and leaned his head on Meng Xue's shoulder unconsciously. Meng Xue pushed him a little embarrassedly, he shook it, and leaned back again, the second time, She didn't push him away again, and looked at him with a little more pity in her eyes.

"What are the two beauties secretly talking about hiding in the corner?" Zhou Ziyi came over with a glass of wine in his hand: "Yu Hua, long time no see, you've become beautiful." He didn't seem to remember the embarrassing past of his senior year, "Where, Your mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter." Yu Hua said with a smile. Yun Jin stood up: "Sit down, I'll go see Cheng Zheng, sorry."

She walked over to Cheng Zheng and smiled at Meng Xue first. Meng Xue's smile was provocative: "Have you finally thought of coming to see your boyfriend?" Yun Jin didn't seem to hear her words, squatted in front of Cheng Zheng and patted his face lightly, "Cheng Zheng "Wake up, let's go back first."

Cheng Zheng didn't respond, her subordinates tried hard, forcibly supported him, staggered, and Song Ming, who was not far away, hurriedly stretched out his hand to support Cheng Zheng's body on the other side. "Thank you." Yun Jin said to Song Ming, "Please help him out with me." She turned to Meng Xue again: "Thank you for your shoulder, it's hard to get used to Cheng Zheng often saying that you are like his brother."

Meng Xue laughed at herself and stood up too. After Yun Jin greeted the others, Meng Xue followed her and Song Ming out of the room uneasy. The car must not be able to drive, Yun Jin found the road and was about to beckon to stop the car, but Cheng Zheng slowly regained some consciousness, rubbed his head and asked himself why he was here.

"You drink too much, I'll go back with you first." Yun Jin said softly. Cheng Zheng glanced at her, Song Ming, and Meng Xue in confusion, and broke free of her hand: "You go back first, I'm not drunk, so you can continue." He swayed for a while, Meng Xue quickly supported him, and he was half leaning on Meng Xue before he stood firm.

Yun Jin took a few steps forward and took his hand, "Cheng Zheng, stop making trouble, come with me." Her voice had a hint of pleading. Cheng Zheng threw off her hand again, and stumbled around Meng Xue's shoulders: "If you say don't worry about it, if you want to leave, just leave by yourself." The scene was a little difficult to handle for a while, and even Song Ming, who was on the sidelines, felt a little embarrassed. .

Yunjin watched him quietly for a while, then calmly said to Song Ming and Meng Xue, "In that case, I'll go back first. Please take care of him, don't let him drink so much, and don't let him drive." He pulled out a notepad in his bag and hurriedly wrote a few words, "This is the address of our home, please call him a car later, and give me a call after getting in the car, thank you."

It wasn't until the taxi that Yun Jin was sitting on disappeared at the corner of the street that Cheng Zheng slowly stood up straight, his eyes were drunk, and there was only disappointment. He seemed to have suddenly realized how close he was to Meng Xue, and quickly pushed her away, saying simply " I'm sorry" and walked to the place where the party was just now.

"Cheng Zheng!" Meng Xue stopped him behind him, he turned around suspiciously, but unexpectedly met her slap, Cheng Zheng responded in time to stop her hand before it fell, and said stunned: " Did you drink too much?"

Then he saw Meng Xue's tears. He grew up with Meng Xue, she had always been a tomboy in his heart, and it was the first time she cried in front of him.

Meng Xue raised her head with tears in her eyes and said, "This slap is like giving you back all my feelings for you over the years. You can not love me, but you can't hurt me like this. You clearly know that I have loved you since you were a child, but It's cruel to use me as a prop for the emotional game between the two of you!"

Cheng Zheng let go of the hand that was blocking her, feeling extremely confused, "Maybe you are right, if this slap makes you feel better, then you can do it."

Meng Xue wiped away her tears and sneered, "But now I don't want to do anything anymore, because I found out that you are actually more pitiful than me. Don't you just want to use me to provoke Su Yunjin, but unfortunately, people don't care at all. After so many years, you The one you love so hard is someone you don't even know if she loves you or not, you thought you got her, but you didn't!"

He slumped to cover his face with his hands, as if he could not hear her words. After a while, he said to Song Ming, "I'm sorry, please take care of her." Then he turned and left.

It was very late when he got home, the lights were still on, and Yunjin was still there, which made him somewhat at ease. She didn't change out of the clothes she went out, and watched the TV calmly, and when she saw him come back, her eyes took off from the TV screen.

"I'm back." She put down the remote control easily, as she had waited countless times in the past.

"You... don't you have something to tell me?" Cheng Zheng put his hand in his trousers pocket.

Yun Jin raised her face and looked at him, "I just want to say, Cheng Zheng, you are really naive."

Cheng Zheng sat on the sofa and buried his face in his lap, "I am very naive, I naively thought that this would stimulate you, that you would be jealous and angry for me, so as to prove that you really care about me. "

There was no emotion on Yun Jin's face.

Cheng Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, "After all these years, you still don't love me, that's why you can be so calm." He never dared to think about something that he didn't dare to face, but now that he has said it himself, he has a kind of heart. Ashes of relief.

"Let's break up, Yunjin."
