Chapter 835 Open the Door
In fact, the reason why Chen Wenwen and Zhao Menghua broke up is not that complicated. In other words, the reasons why contemporary young men and women break up are not that complicated. The coldness after three months of passionate love pours on the hot heart stone and cracks a black gap. , no one was willing to bend down to repair it, and they held on until the crack became a chasm and divided two people. Some looked at each other across the bank, and some turned around and left.
The same is probably true for Chen Wenwen and Zhao Menghua.
What is the cause? Several text messages that were not answered, disagreements about college choices, or different views on the love outlook of the heroine in a certain literary novel. The quarrels were always caused by these trivial matters, and the whole situation was irreversible. Looking back, I found that the reason for the quarrel was so funny. Zhao Menghua gritted his teeth and said let's break up. Chen Wenwen also bit her lip and said yes. .
Look! It was so difficult to get together, and separation was just a matter of shrinking our hands. This is probably what young people today call loyal love.
In the days after they broke up, Chen Wenwen slept all the time, from morning to night, in total darkness. People say that when you are sad, you have to escape. Some people choose to drink, and some choose to indulge. In fact, they all have different ways of escaping, and they all try their best to forget something.
If alcohol is the thing that most numbs the brain and makes you not think too much, then sleeping can probably give you the same effect. Hide in a small room with the curtains closed and wait until you fall asleep with your eyes closed. Those things that your subconscious mind is avoiding will disappear. Come out and construct some fantasies for you that have never existed in reality - and by the way, it also has the effect of losing weight. At least now Chen Wenwen has lost no less than five kilograms compared to before the breakup.
It is said that there are three stages of breakup. The first stage is to complain about the present, then to miss the past, and then to move forward. There is no emotion that can be taken to the grave in a broken thread - there may be some, but the probability of it happening is so small that it can be ignored and not calculated.
As the breakup progressed, Chen Wenwen gradually entered the second stage. She began to like to send text messages or send space updates more frequently. When a lovelorn person hears a sad and tragic song, she feels that the lyrics are singing about herself. For example, she listened to "Reserved" and thought that one of the lyrics in it was very good, so she wrote it down and posted it on the news feed. After a while, she checked her phone, hoping to See familiar shadows in the comment area or like column.
A reply to a text message or a like can often cheer her up for a day, but then she will gradually become depressed until she expects new changes again. Continuously nostalgic for the past, constantly standing still. The more uncomfortable she felt, the more she remembered the good times in the past, when she and Zhao Menghua walked through the campus together. Every time someone said hello loudly, Chen Wenwen, is this your boyfriend? She felt like her face was burning, like it was a shameful thing, but she was so happy. Zhao Menghua hugged her shoulders vigorously and greeted her classmates with a smile.
There is nothing more hurtful than remembering the good times together when we are apart. Those past memories are questioning you every minute and every second as to why you put yourself in this situation, torturing you and torturing you, all over your heart. She was scarred, so she became even more sleepy and wanted to close her eyes and sleep to forget these things.
Her best friend persuaded her to be more open-minded in the milk tea shop and cheered her up. Holding a 70% sugar bottle of Brey chocolate, she said sadly, "There is no grass anywhere in the world, sister. If you continue to lose weight, we will look like you when we go shopping." I'm very fat. You have to cheer up for me as well as for yourself. So why should Zhao Menghua die? Maybe he has already found a new home during the time you broke up.
After she finished speaking, her best friend looked at Chen Wenwen's reaction to see if she would defend her old lover loudly. Sure enough, Chen Wenwen said no, he was not that kind of person. But she spoke in a low voice, because her best friend really hit the mark. If Chen Wenwen’s QQ updates are filled with lyrics and literary fragments, then Zhao Menghua’s side is undoubtedly filled with the sunshine of reality. This week he posted some drifting photos. Splash, next week it will be the clown selling balloons in the amusement park, and the next week it will be the red leaves in Xiangshan... Zhao Menghua has something to do every weekend. But with whom?
she does not know.
The more she looked at Chen Wenwen's appearance, the angrier her bestie became. She put down her milk tea and slapped the table so hard that the couple next door almost hugged each other. She angrily scolded Chen Wenwen: Why do you still look like this? Wenwen, I know you still have some expectations for him. But now you will refuse to admit the reality no matter what he does, but it’s time for you to face the reality. You are not dumped. You can break up peacefully and don’t blame anyone. You two are not suitable in the first place! The kid who chased you before Xuexue was so easy to leave as soon as he said he wanted to. I heard he left by helicopter!
Every word is Zhuji, even bringing with it people from the past who have disappeared in Chen Wenwen's life, so Chen Wenwen basically didn't listen much after hearing it. She seemed to be thinking about something in the long past involuntarily, and nodded after thinking for a long time, Tell your best friend that she will try to move forward.
My best friend was filled with joy, feeling that her former milk tea lover, who weighed 95, was back again, and that her next cup of milk tea would be full of sugar instead of 70% sugar.
She did so after that, going to the library to read the literature books she had been taught to put down all afternoon, going to the cinema to watch a movie, and then walking aimlessly through the sun-drenched alleys in the bustling streets of the coastal city. She unexpectedly saw an acquaintance.
The boy who had stayed in her memory for a long time was standing in front of the summer zebra crossing with his back to her, holding a plastic bag and looking up at the blue clear sky in the distance, his white T-shirt dyed like clouds. In the clear sky, the sideways silhouette and the lazy eyes that squinted at the sky were so clean that she didn't dare to step forward to recognize him. (Maybe because of the filter and angle, she overlooked the beech wood toilet seat around Lu Mingfei’s neck)
Lu Mingfei.
In fact, Chen Wenwen never deceived Lu Mingfei at the beginning, let alone used Lu Mingfei as a spare tire.
If falling out of love is a war, then Sophie Ladd's Pizza House is undoubtedly her own battlefield.
But in the end, she was still timid in the face of the battle. She felt that she could not be as decisive as Lu Mingfei before, and left as soon as he said it. What kind of decision should it be to completely let go of an important person in his life? Maybe she has never been with him. Are the shadows in your eyes full of insignificance? But in the end, when they were in the movie theater, Lu Mingfei nodded to him so seriously. The emotions in his eyes were beyond her comprehension for the first time.
She was also broken up in love, but Lu Mingfei behaved much more maturely than her. Girls always become girls earlier than boys, and boys always become men earlier than girls. It felt like this. She looked across the street at Lu Mingfei, who was holding a plastic bag, whistling and bathing in the sunshine. For the first time, she felt that they were in two different worlds.
She really wanted to ask Lu Mingfei about his experience in love, but she didn't dare to just go up and recognize each other. After all, they had such a past, and they hadn't seen each other for a long time, so it was difficult for them to recognize each other.
It happened that her cell phone rang at this time, and her best friend told her that Zhao Menghua had a party today. She thought that if there were more people, she might be able to chat with Lu Mingfei better. But then she saw Liu Miaomiao in the private room. After meeting Zhao Menghua, I realized that today was not a party at all.
Unfortunately it's too late.
—
The door of the private room opened, and Chen Wenwen walked in. When she was closing the door behind her back, Zhao Menghua glanced at Chen Wenwen's back, said nothing, and joined in the chat with his buddies enthusiastically, only this time At first, his behavior seemed to be more deliberate than before, and he was no longer pretending to be anything.
For example, the position where he was sitting changed. The spot on the right side of Lu Mingfei that originally belonged to him was taken by a buddy, and he moved next to Liu Miaomiao. For example, if there were two pieces of pizza in front of her, she would give one to Liu Miaomiao; for example, Liu Miaomiao would occasionally take a sip of his Coke, but neither of them cared, and the people around them pretended not to notice.
Unless you see many things with your own eyes, you will always lie to yourself. My best friend has long said that Zhao Menghua is unreliable, but Chen Wenwen never believes it. My best friend also said that when a man and a woman fall in love, they are each other's true love. Only when they break up can we see what kind of people they really are.
In her opinion, Zhao Menghua and Chen Wenwen are not suitable for each other. Chen Wenwen is too artistic and infatuated, while Zhao Menghua is a typical real man. When they break up, the weak water will flow for several months, not to mention that his clothes will not be wet, and he has to do water ballet. You dance, this is a coastal city, and all the men on the coast are all gay and white without exception!
Chen Wenwen didn't believe what her best friend said, but at least her best friend hadn't missed it so far. Every guess that made her feel harsh was so accurate that it was hard to accept.
She sat back in her seat. Lu Mingfei's seat next to her was empty. He didn't come back after meeting in the bathroom. This was a good thing. Otherwise, the atmosphere between them would definitely be worse after he sat back after seeing those text messages. Awkward. But at least the private room was in full swing now, as if the atmosphere had become even more heated when she was not around, and her presence was unnecessary.
In fact, it was unnecessary. She deceived Lu Mingfei. Today's party is not a "literary club party" at all. If you pay more attention, you will find that many people sitting in the private room have never joined the literary club, but They still came; for example, Lu Mingfei, a member of the literary club, was not on the invitation list, nor was she, the president of the literary club.
Chen Wenwen raised her head and looked at Zhao Menghua, and found that Zhao Menghua was also looking at her. She couldn't help but feel a slight throb in her heart, thinking that there could be some incredible changes in this real situation. It's really just like the QQ signature she changed the day after she fell in love, "For the first time in my life, I let go of my reserve and let myself imagine everything about you." It feels a little humble to the soil, but also hopes that a miracle flower will bloom in the soil. Flowers come.
But no miracle happened. It was a matter of course. Zhao Menghua stood up, holding a blue velvet jewelry box in his hand, and looked around the table. "All my classmates are here today, so I have something to announce." He glanced down at Liu Miaomiao, and Liu Miaomiao couldn't help but She avoided his gaze, her face flushed as if she had drunk a lot of wine.
Chen Wenwen saw it all, took a breath and said nothing.
Zhao Menghua opened the jewelry box, and inside was a Tiffany platinum ring. "No one can chase Liu Miaomiao from now on. Whoever chases me will fall out with him... We are getting engaged, and this is the engagement ring."
"Alas" it seemed like someone sighed softly, the sound was so small that it was hard to hear it as if it came from a distance, but soon this unnoticed sigh was drowned out by the increasingly heated discussion. , the atmosphere was warm and jubilant.
"Damn it. No wonder the boss asked us to have a dinner today. If I had known it, I would have bought something as a gift." The younger brother said happily.
"Zhao Menghua, you are so cruel. You got engaged as soon as you caught up with him. You didn't leave any hope for your brothers." Someone congratulated with a sad face.
"Then we should ask them for a few beers."
"You bitch, such a big thing has to be champagne, okay? Do you think Zhao Menghua can't afford it? Why don't you kill him now?"
"Come here, put the ring on, take photos, can you send it to the alumni record?"
"Okay? Now I've made it clear to everyone." Zhao Menghua and Liu Miaomiao smiled playfully, "Now you are tied to me... Marry me and carry me around..."
"I hate it." Liu Miaomiao lowered her head and pinched his waist.
"Oh, look at her hitting people!" Zhao Menghua laughed and was having fun with his girlfriend, no, now his fiancée.
Chen Wenwen suddenly felt that she had made the wrong choice to come here today, so she wanted to stand up and walk away, but a surge of people around her pushed her back to the chair. Live next to the empty chair. There was no one up there, but it was still warm.
A few people were secretly watching her, but they were also watching her secretly. Perhaps they were lamenting that Zhao Menghua was really murderous and heart-wrenching. He announced his engagement in front of his ex-girlfriend and then treated her to a meal. This was considered a complete severance of friendship, right? I'm afraid that I won't have any friends in the future; there are also people who are secretly wondering if they can take advantage of the situation and run away from this little grass that has been protected from the wind and rain. Even if Zhao Menghua doesn't want her anymore, Chen Wenwen is still Chen Wenwen's. There were many people at the time. The white moonlight in my heart. Even if I'm down and out, isn't it still the white moonlight?
But everyone knows that once Bai Yueguang hits the ground, it will become a white frost shadow on the ground. Everyone wants to step on it and leave their own footprints.
Everyone looked at Zhao Menghua who was hugging Liu Miaomiao to congratulate him. Only Chen Wenwen lowered her head. The feeling of having her fantasy shattered by reality was really uncomfortable, like holding shards of glass in her hand and having to clenched it into a fist. The warmth on the empty chair she was holding on to reminded her that it was not a good thing to shed tears now. Although her emotions told her that she was wronged, crying at this time would be looked down upon.
Amidst the laughter, she suddenly felt that this scene seemed a bit familiar, but the environment that time was much darker than here, and there were still crowds of people, and the whole hall was still full of laughter. When she stood on the stage and saw the boy standing there, she felt aggrieved as well. The man who wanted to cry was left behind by everyone and stood in the corner, just like herself now.
When I was young, there was always written on the blackboard behind the literary club: Youth fades away easily, and appearance grows old easily. Don’t waste your time, just dance and sing. But in fact, someone warned them a long time ago not to write or draw on the blackboard when they were young, because in the end they would always wipe it clean with their own hands.
Lu Mingfei didn't say anything when he saw those text messages in the bathroom. I'm afraid he will never say anything to her again. From now on, they will never socialize again. He must think that he is a very cheap girl, right? If it were herself, she would feel the same way.
She didn't know the expression on her face now, and no one would pay attention to her expression now. She remembered how the previous day ended, so she cheered up and looked up to see Zhao Menghua, hoping that the other party could give her a picture. He nodded in conclusion, but unfortunately the boy only had eyes for his new fiancée now, and could not tolerate anything else.
She recalled the last text message she sent to Zhao Menghua, "I always thought that stories would have happy endings, but it seems that happy endings are often just the beginning of stories."
That was supposed to be a text message she had made up her mind to send to Zhao Menghua, but unexpectedly it turned out to be a prophecy.
—
At this time, the door opened and the air began to flow, like opening the mud seal of a clay pot to let in the cool breeze.
The person who came in said nothing, with a clear goal, and went straight to Chen Wenwen. He stretched out his hand and grabbed her wrist, but he did not apply force immediately. Instead, he held her up forcefully a few seconds after their eyes met. Grabbing her white and delicate wrist is like a tango dancer holding her partner's hand. With a sudden movement, her whole body twitched, and a force of skill pulled the girl who was rooted on the chair out of the soil, dripping with joy. , like a sharp knife cutting through a mess.
Everyone turned their heads and saw Lu Mingfei standing next to Chen Wenwen. His attire had changed. He was wearing a black trench coat over his original white T-shirt. Wearing a trench coat in the summer seemed to be a mental disorder. But now this windbreaker is worn on Boss Lu, and it suddenly looks so heroic in this scene. The silver half-decayed tree at the corner of the clothes is not known to be a luxury brand.
"Sorry, I have something to do outside this afternoon, so I'll leave first." Lu Mingfei looked at the classmates in the private room and said with a smile. But everyone felt that there was murderous intent in this kid's smile, and there was a hidden needle. The awns are simply dazzling!
"Lu Mingfei, you" Zhao Menghua looked at Lu Mingfei. In other words, he mainly looked at Lu Mingfei who grabbed Chen Wenwen's wrist and was a little startled.
What are you doing?
Those two arms held together were even more eye-catching than the shovel used to take out the pizza. Everyone watched as the small theaters in the heads of the two figures, Lu Mingfei and Chen Wenwen, jumped out one after another.
The most important thing is that Chen Wenwen, who was being led, did not react at all. She just stood behind Lu Mingfei with her head lowered, which even made her feel a little well-behaved.
But dear sister, have you made a mistake? Aren't things like being well-behaved usually reserved for roles like "boyfriends"... Could it be that you...
The air in the private room became even weirder.
"Did you two come together?" Xu Yanyan spoke first, his voice a little abrupt, or even he felt that speaking at this time was not a smart thing to do, so he laughed awkwardly in the end.
"Ah, Chen Wenwen and I have something to do in the afternoon, so we have to go together so as not to disturb everyone." Lu Mingfei glanced at the wrist of Chen Wenwen he was holding and scratched his head to explain.
He looked up at Zhao Menghua again, with an inexplicable light flashing in his eyes. Zhao Menghua leaned back slightly to prepare for the opponent's attack, but he didn't expect that Lu Mingfei just gave him a thumbs up and said brightly, "I just listened for a while when I came back from outside the door. Congratulations to my good buddy, you are worthy of the engagement." You are a man from our coastal city, all of them are freeloaders! I have to learn this from you after being single for so long! I have paid the bill here in advance at the front desk, which is regarded as the tuition fee for your teaching. Next time, everyone Let’s meet again if we have a chance!”
Zhao Menghua felt that something was wrong with what this kid was saying in the first half of the story. Liu Miaomiao, who was beside him, looked away when he saw Lu Mingfei and Chen Wenwen standing together. When he saw this scene, he subconsciously wanted to get angry, "Lu Mingfei, what do you mean?"
But I got stuck mid-sentence, and this time it was just as lukewarm as every time before.
"Road Commissioner, the car is ready." A shadow as tall as a high wall stood silently outside the door with a dull voice.
The brothers near the door all leaned back as if they had seen a ghost, actively avoiding the huge Tarzan that almost shattered the door frame. They held their breath and opened their eyes wide, only to realize that what they were approaching was a real sign. The strong man on top was so strong that his chest muscles were about to break through his clothes, and the pressure was so strong that the door frame was almost crushed together with it.
What is his name, Lu Mingfei? Commissioner Lu? What kind of things can be called "specialist"? You can't be a public servant, right?
Boss Lu is taller and harder than expected.
No one knew what to say, or said nothing, and just watched Lu Mingfei lead Chen Wenwen away, and walked out of the corridor with the back of the bodyguard who was as hard as granite. When the door closed, there was a huge "bang" The sound made people couldn't help but shake their shoulders slightly.
The brothers at Shilan Middle School were all silent. They didn't know what the last slam of the door meant. Was it dissatisfaction or a warning? They turned their heads and looked quietly in one direction, where Zhao Menghua had no expression on his face, but his fists were quietly clenched under the table.
