Chapter 25 Let’s not waste another eight years

When it comes to a one-month period, I’m giving myself a set. I don’t know why I put up a one-month deadline for thinking, as if after a month, I would definitely reject it. This month is the most tormented month I have ever had. Fortunately, the annual home improvement fair is finally about to start. In addition to some of the work at hand, I can distract my attention from the home improvement fair.

I wanted to talk to Xiaobai and Jiayao about this, but thinking about these two habitual betraying little brats, knowing that Kang Jincheng had confessed to me, there would be all kinds of persuasion to make me obey, so I gave up.

So I thought of Li Ge Rui. In fact, the day after the banquet, I dry-cleaned the dress, packed it with accessories, and returned it to Li Gerui. Li Gerui said that the dress was modified according to my figure, so I gave it to me, including accessories and shoes, as a gift that I helped her twice.

On this day, Miss Li was so idle again that she came to me for tea, so I had to squeeze in a lunch break to chat with her. Because it was really annoying, I couldn’t help but ask her: “If someone you liked for many years and disappeared for many years suddenly came back to confess to you, would you accept his intentions?”

Li Gerui is a very smart girl. Hearing what I said, he immediately said, “The person you said you liked for many years and then disappeared for many years, isn’t it just my brother Kang Jincheng?”

I was startled, blushed, and said, “Who said it was him?”

Li Gerui told Kang Jincheng suddenly in front of his mother Liu Yunhua

He was surprised when he admitted that I was his girlfriend, and said, “You must not like him, handsome men are unreliable. The key is that he, like me, will become a **** in business marriage. , marriage can’t be decided by itself, so don’t hand over your heart at will. Do you know?”

I was shocked that a seventeen or eighteen-year-old could say such a thing. But she didn’t know, I liked him for eight years. If I confessed eight years ago, I would definitely have accepted it. Eight years later, there are time and geographical barriers that separate me, which made me worry about gains and losses. There is no reason to accept it lightly. If it fails, it will cause more damage.

Li Gerui couldn’t get used to her stepmother Liu Yunhua since she was a child, but sometimes she has to be controlled by Liu Yunhua and swallow her voice, because of the inheritance left by her father, she can’t handle it until she is 20 years old.

It was the twenty-year-old. The world of rich people is a poor person like me who doesn’t understand anyway, and can only rely on imagination.

She complained to me again, saying that the seductive Eric she saw that day was one of the people she might marry in the future. When I was in the US Emperor, I even treated her with hairy feet. She was only twelve years old at that time, so she disgusted him very much. It’s not just disgusting to attack a minor. It’s just that I didn’t expect that Eric to be the person that Li Gerui might marry in the future. I listened to a very poor adult action movie with my ears.

Comparatively speaking, in the matter of marriage, although Miss Jiaren would occasionally screech a few words, she would not force me to go.

Marry someone like Eric. For this, I feel some sympathy for her. I can’t help but wonder what Kang Jincheng was thinking at the time, after all, that person is very likely to be his future sister-in-law.

Li Gerui treats me with such sincerity, I can’t watch her fall into the tiger’s den. So I warned her that the man who is the most lustful man will not be good in that respect because of excessive indulgence. Sexual happiness after marriage is very important to a woman. If you want to have sex, don’t pick a man like Eric. .

As soon as I finished talking about my theory, Li Gerui’s eyes widened. He couldn’t believe that a serious person like me could tell such a truth. The surprised little eyes seemed to me as a seasoned veteran who was invincible in a hundred battles.

If it weren’t for the long-term influence of Jia Yao, who has been precocious for a long time, how would I know this, you must know that the life experience of pregnant women is much richer than that of people like us who only lost their first kiss. What’s more, the live broadcast that I heard that day was really bad… After thinking about it, I thought about the matter of being forcibly kissed by Kang Jincheng.

Alas, why are there so many obsessions in life?

After breaking up with Li Gerui, I went back to the company to get ready for work. Brother Xiao came to explain, saying that he might not be able to go on a business trip for tomorrow’s home improvement meeting, so let me take more care.

On the day of the home improvement meeting, the flow of people is particularly large, and there are countless people who come to consult. Although the country has been making efforts to control housing prices, it is still high. The Chinese people’s thinking is very traditional. It is only when one has one’s own house that one has a home. Li Yinhe and Xiao Qian, two top students in the Department of Architecture of our D University, are also

It is because of the needs of this market that it will not hesitate to go to this line. And I was also tempted by material things and abandoned the ideal of building a mountain. On weekdays, I can only rely on donations to make up for this regret.

At the end of the day, I was almost soft-handed when I handed out the leaflets, and my mouth was dry. I could only wait until the aunts and aunts or couples went back for dinner at noon, and then I had time to take a breath. Our company’s beauty assistant He Lina and a girl from the booth next door, Zhou Xiaomei, after eating, they went to the clothing exhibition hall next door to hang out. And I have become a dog tired, just want to squat.

When the exhibition started in the afternoon, Nana was still not seen back. It turned out that the two girls went to the robot exhibition hall again. When the two of them came back, they said to me with bright eyes: “Xu Jingjing! Not only do the robot exhibition next door have all kinds of strange things, but the most important thing is that there are all kinds of handsome guys.”

“We also have a lot of handsome guys at this exhibition.” After all, there are many men.

“No no no! They are all high-end elites in the IT category, and they are different from those who do home improvement like us.”

“What’s wrong with our home decoration, it’s all artistic!”

“It’s different, it’s different! There is a company with a head lecturer who is so handsome, and he can be called the best in the audience. It took me and Xiaomei a long time to squeeze in. You must go and see it later.” He Lina Said with ecstasy.

Zhou Xiaomei nodded frequently beside her, “That’s right! I thought it was a star at first. It’s so handsome!”

The two sang together, not only aroused my curiosity, but also aroused the curiosity of the little girls around the booth.

found one

In my spare time, I followed them to the robot exhibition hall. Just as He Lina and Zhou Xiaomei were right, the robot exhibition hall is full of bizarre things, such as normal household sweeping robots, cooking robots, chat robots, etc., which can only be regarded as sesame dishes, and the most attractive thing is the Bionic humanoid robot. When I see humanoid robots, I always feel that the era of “Terminator” and “Robocop” is not too far away.

But I personally think that the most bizarre thing is the mobile phone film robot… If this thing is popularized, what should people who make a living on the flyover make a living by filming? If you are worried that the robot will take a job with people like this mobile phone film robot, the post-disaster rescue robot next door is more popular.

Along the way, compared to the grounded atmosphere of home improvement, this sophisticated robotics industry is almost beyond the imagination of ordinary people. The popularity of the venue is even higher than that of home decoration, and the people who come to the exhibition are younger, and there are excited children and teenagers everywhere.

My two colleagues and I finally found the so-called popular booth, and indeed there were quite a few compatriots watching.

A tall and slender man was explaining some medical nano-robots on the stage. He just turned his back to the direction I was standing, and couldn’t see what he looked like at all. He was quite handsome just from the back.

I flipped through the promotional materials in my hand. This medical nanorobot can enter human blood vessels and transport painkillers to specific parts of the body. I suddenly felt that the people who study these high technologies are really great.

See

The thread turned from the brochure to the staff member on the stage again. He turned around and a familiar face came into view. I couldn’t help but widen my eyes. How could it be Kang Jincheng? ! Why is he here? Isn’t he the vice president of Ogilvy & Mather? Could it be that this is also Ogilvy’s industry? But how did he come to be the staff of the explanation?

The two colleagues beside me held their hearts and shouted “so handsome”, and my head was full of question marks.

Xu Shi felt my gaze, and he suddenly looked towards my position under the stage. When he saw me, the momentary surprise was quickly replaced by a warm and charming smile, and he waved me cheerfully at me. Waving like a big boy, not at all like the calm and reserved Kang Jincheng I knew.

The two colleagues asked me in surprise: “That handsome guy knows you?”

I nodded, “Well, it’s a former high school classmate.”

The two colleagues were envious.

He handed over the inquiring guest to another staff member, explained a few words, and then came to me, “Why did you come here?”

He grabbed the question I wanted to ask.

“Oh, I’m at the home improvement fair next door.” I couldn’t help but ask the doubts in my heart, “Why are you here? This… is also the Ogilvy & Mather industry?”

He smiled and said to me, “Want to know? Treat me to dinner tonight.”

My mouth twitched. If I refuse, it seems that I can’t bear to be stingy with money. If I agree, it feels like a date. This month’s deadline has not yet come.

He smiled again and said, “Forget it, let me invite you to dinner.”

“Wait for the end of the show, if you’re not busy… you can consider it.” Wait for the end of the show, maybe I’ll run away first. I said that to myself in my heart.

“it is good.

One word is for sure. I’m busy first. ‘ He smiled and left, apparently considering my “may be considered” OK.

Back at the booth, after the two colleagues announced it, everyone knew that the handsome guy in the robot pavilion was my high school classmate and started to gossip about me.

“Hey? How old is your classmate this year?”

“Does he have a girlfriend? He’s so handsome.”

“I really want to meet you. Can you introduce me?”

I laughed and said, “I’m the same age as me… I should have… I haven’t seen him for eight years, so the relationship is normal…”

I’m finally not ashamed of my shameless and I don’t know why, I have to beat their cheeky with my shameless. I decided not to run away after the fair today, I’m going to dinner.

Kang Jincheng is a very trustworthy person. Before the robot exhibition was over, he went to the home improvement exhibition hall ahead of schedule and found our company’s booth, which naturally caused a little commotion. When a colleague asked about his relationship with me, he directly said cheekily: “Jingjing is my girlfriend.”

So the female compatriots who questioned me before sent them contemptuous glances one by one.

This is so embarrassing.

After the exhibition ended, I dragged him out of the exhibition hall quickly. As soon as I left the exhibition hall, I said, “Why did you come here all of a sudden? It’s agreed that you won’t be allowed to come to me for a month.”

“You found me first.”

“When am I…” I was dragged by my peers to the robot exhibition hall to see the handsome guy, who knows that handsome guy is him, “I was passing by and just went to the robot exhibition hall to play. Who knew you were there? ?”

He smiled,

Said: “Maybe this is the fate in the legend. I thought I really had to wait a month to see you, but after a week, you found me first, and even God is helping me. ”

I am speechless.

“Let’s go, take you to a place.”

“Where?”

He didn’t answer me and dragged me to the parking lot.

In the parking lot, he stuffed me into the car, and I repeated, “Where to?”

“Remember the sports park where the two of us used to run often? It’s near this pavilion.”

“Do you remember?” I was a little surprised. I wouldn’t tell him that occasionally I would go to that sports park and reminisce about the times when I was alone.

“I remember a lot of things and have not forgotten.” He looked at me seriously.

I stared at his sincere face, suddenly unable to say anything.

Suddenly, he leaned over and I said in fright, “What are you doing?”

He smiled at me, stretched out his hand and pulled the seat belt to fasten it for me, his body was very close to me, I ducked to the window subconsciously, for fear that he would suddenly kiss me like last time.

“It’s still early, let’s go for a spin.”

“Oh.” I sat up straight.

After leaving the exhibition hall and turning the direction, the car drove towards the original sports park. It was only two streets away. The car drove into the parking lot in the park. It was probably dusk, and almost everyone went back to eat. Not many people came to exercise or take a walk. There were only a few young people on the playground. playing football. After dark, there will be more people here.

The two of us walked slowly around the football playground.

He pointed to the trees around the playground and said: ”

The trees here are much more lush than before. I remember that eight years ago, not long after the sports park was built, all the tree poles were very thin. The rest chairs over there have been changed, and all of them have been replaced with new preservative wood. And the commissary is still there. ”

As he pointed, the scene eight years ago was vaguely pieced together bit by bit, and I was surprised that he remembered it so clearly.

He suddenly stopped and didn’t come closer, took my hand, and said earnestly, “Jingjing, have you figured it out?”

I looked into his sincere eyes and said, “Kang Jincheng, are you sure you’re not joking?”

“I’m sure. No kidding.”

I looked at him, not knowing what to say for a moment, bowed my head and fiddled with the weeds on the football field with my shoes.

“But I think it’s still a joke. Forget it, don’t make fun of me. Besides, you are now the vice president of Ogilvy & Mather, and there is a big gap between us.” I forced a smile, but my heart Not to mention how bitter.

“Xu Jingjing!” He suddenly pulled my shoulder and looked very serious, “Why are you so timid? Didn’t you wait for me for eight years? You clearly liked me for eight years, but waited for me for eight years. Nian, now that I’m back, why are you pushing me away?”

I looked up at him in astonishment, full of disbelief, and asked with trembling lips, “Who told you?”

“It doesn’t matter who told me. But I know that the person you really like is me, so I won’t let go. I’m serious about you, what are you hesitating about?”

The tears buried in the bottom of my heart could not hold back all of a sudden.

“Do you know that you are so inexplicable?

wonderful? You didn’t say a word to me eight years ago, and suddenly disappeared. Once you disappeared, you disappeared for eight years. As soon as you came back, you confessed to me that you like me. How do you want me to believe you? What’s more, there is Xu Jingjing by your side. Did you forget that the person you had a crush on was her? Have you forgotten how you quarreled with me over her on the island back then? ”

“I said before that liking Xu Jingjing was something every boy could do in those days. But after getting along with you, I found out that the person I really like is you.”

“If you really like me, why have you never written a letter or made a phone call to me in the past eight years? Now that the Internet is so developed, will you die if you send a QQ message? Well, I admit, eight years I fell in love with you before. Since you left, I have been staring at your QQ avatar every day for eight years, but it has never been on. In the past eight years, I have not changed my phone number, no I changed my QQ account, and I was looking forward to the day when you could contact me. But the truth? You can contact Xiong Shuai and the others, so why can’t you contact me? Even if you changed your name and you are finally going back to China, I am the last one I know, but you told me that you like me?! How do you want me to believe you?”

I roared almost to the end, and tears kept pouring out like a **** burst, covering my entire face.

He said in a hoarse voice: “The QQ number has been stolen, and I don’t have everyone’s numbers. I called your mobile phone several times, but you didn’t answer. I came back in my sophomore year, and I went to D University to find you. At that time, you were with Gao Zhan. I thought you were still with him after all

. I also came back when I graduated in my senior year. I thought that you might break up after graduation. I might have a chance, but I still saw you with him. Jingjing, I always thought that the person you liked was Gao Zhan! ”

When I heard him say that, I couldn’t say anything sad. Lowering my head, I covered my face and cried.

He took my face, pulled my hands away, gently wiped my tears with his thumb, kissed my eyes, and held me tightly. He patted my back lightly and said in a low voice: “Jingjing, I’m sorry, I didn’t know you were waiting for me. I really don’t know… If I knew that the person you were waiting for was me, I’m not going to wait until today to tell you I love you. We’ve missed one eight years, and I don’t want to miss another eight.”

“It’s all your fault! It’s all your fault! It’s all your fault! Woohoo…” I raised my fist and thumped angrily in front of his chest a few times, then hugged him tightly, crying like a As sad as a child, let the secrets and grievances that have been buried in my heart for many years come out.

What have we missed in these eight years? Who is to blame? I don’t seem to have the right to blame him, because he thought the person I liked was Gao Zhan, just like I thought the person he liked was Xu Jingjing.

I don’t know how long I cried, but I finally got tired of crying, and when I had enough, I raised my head from his arms.

The softness that belongs to the dusk has been replaced by the quiet night. The faint street lamp is on. I stare at him with stinging eyes. His beautiful eyes are also a little red, but they are still as dazzling and attractive as gems.

He reached out and wiped me gently

Wiping his eyes, he said, “Are you hungry?”

I nodded.

“Let’s go. Go eat first. What would you like to eat?”

“casual.”

He patted my hair dotingly and said, “Then let’s have a steak. There is a good western restaurant nearby.”

He drove me to the western restaurant in his car, which was quiet and elegantly decorated. As a person with severe occupational disease, I am used to observing various decorations in daily life. However, today I have no mood to pay attention to the decoration style here, and I am full of thoughts on the man sitting opposite.

I couldn’t help but ask him, “When did you go back to China?”

“Christmas in the second year of my sophomore year, and the summer of my graduation year in my senior year.” He said that he saw Gao Zhan and I together, holding a bunch of roses in his hand, with a happy smile on his face.

“How can a happy smile be possible? Are you dazzled…” However, his answer made me ponder for a long time, and I can’t help but start to recall the Christmas of my sophomore year. It seems that Gao Zhan really came all the way from Beijing to N City to accompany me there. At Christmas, because considering the cold winter and twelfth lunar days, it is quite a crime to travel from Beijing to N City. If I refuse to accompany him to have a meal or something, it will inevitably be too cruel. Therefore, when Gao Zhan was about to leave, I made a thousand and ten thousand explanations, and I was not allowed to come back to see me at Christmas, but these words seemed to be of no use to Gao Zhan. He still comes back every time for big and small festivals, using the excuse of going home, but in fact he always comes to me every time. The most terrible thing is that Gao Zhan didn’t give me flowers except when he came back from Qingming Festival, it seems that other festivals will give me flowers. So if I think about it, if I see Xu Jingjing with Kang Jincheng at Christmas, with a rose in her hand

Hua, will definitely think that the two are together. Just a week ago at that charity banquet, I saw the two of them standing side by side, and my heart was still sour, thinking they were a couple.

I muttered, “Why do you have to come back for Christmas? Can’t you come back at other times?”

Kang Jincheng said with a smile, “Foreigners are celebrating the New Year.”

Yep, forget about that.

I asked him again when he had called me. After careful inquiries, I realized that I often received a series of inexplicable phone calls with strange numbers. At that time, I thought it was a liar. . After all, telecom fraud was rampant in those few years. I always liked to deceive with phone calls and text messages. It was broadcast on TV news every day. I would hang up when I saw that strange number.

In this way, except for his stolen QQ number, it seems to blame me. Alas, maybe God sees that my childhood is too comfortable, and they want to make some rough experiences for me to experience and practice.

After dinner, he drove me home, and when I was at the gate of the community, I wanted to get out of the car, and he reached out and held me.

In the faint light, I looked at him suspiciously, and his expression was inexplicably nervous and hesitant. He loosened his seat belt, stretched out his hand and smoothed my hair, and after a while, he said, “Jingjing, after you sleep, you won’t regret it, right?”

I laughed suddenly, I didn’t expect him to be so nervous.

“Why are you so sure that it’s not you, but me, who will go back first? After all, your identities are different now. Grace told me that her marriage with you is just a **** to maximize business interests.”

“As soon as I confessed my sincerity to you,

Will not allow myself to be reduced to a pawn. ”

I said very seriously: “But, you should know that I was very sensitive eight years ago, and now I am more sensitive than eight years ago. Although I look a little nervous and a little naive, when it comes to love, I Not a person who will take the initiative. If I encounter difficulties, I will retreat, and if I am injured, I will retreat into my shell and hide.”

“As long as you trust me, I won’t let the things that hurt you happen.” He kissed my forehead lightly, then hugged for a while, “I’ll pick you up from work tomorrow morning and have breakfast together. .”

“But I usually eat at home.”

“Then I’ll go to your house?”

“That’s definitely not good for breakfast, don’t.” Miss Beauty is worried that I don’t have a boyfriend. If I bring him back, will I still have breakfast? It must have become a “100,000 why” cross-examination conference.

He clapped my hand and said solemnly, “Then I’ll pick you up at eight o’clock tomorrow morning. You can eat less at home first. We have to make up for the eight years that have passed.”

“puff-”

“Also, I like you to call me instant noodles.”

“But you’re a ramen now.” I smiled and fiddled with his black, straight hair.

“Let’s go and iron it again tomorrow.”

“Then you have to have a good hairstylist. Your hair used to look like a dog kennel sometimes. Hahaha…”

He stared at me deeply, with an affectionate smile on the corner of his mouth, which made me a little embarrassed.

“I’ll go back first, see you tomorrow morning. Goodbye, instant noodles.” Saying goodbye to Kang Jincheng, I walked home slowly, feeling extremely comfortable, and wanted to shout at the night sky that Xu Jingjing likes Xu Jingjing too.

If it is said that the heart of a secret love is bitter, then the secret love has been rewarded, that is, the bitterness has come and it is as sweet as honey. This sweet and happy feeling is irreplaceable.
