Chapter 7 Break Up
The next morning, the same three people sent Duan Xu back in a commercial vehicle as is, along with the computer host.
It's like nothing happened.
In the age of disaster, what can happen to little people? Even if it happens, no one will care, so it still hasn't happened.
At noon, had lunch.
Shen Yijing, Duan Xu's girlfriend, came to the studio.
Wearing a purple T-shirt, white sports shorts, and long shawl hair tied into a ponytail, this outfit makes her look more youthful and energetic.
In early autumn, Chunshen City was still very hot, so hot that her cheeks were slightly red, and fluffy dewdrops oozed from the tip of her nose. From another angle, she looked even more charming.
Duan Xu was surprised and a little surprised. He stepped out in two steps to welcome her arrival.
Only a few seconds passed, and an ominous premonition spread throughout the room, gradually filling every corner. Her expression was extremely unnatural, and even if she was not a couple, she could feel her displeasure.
Sitting across from each other, she picked up a paper towel and wiped her face. She held the paper towel in her hand and twisted it into a ball. Her eyes stayed on her fingertips. She didn't have to keep the paper ball. She still had it in her bag. She just wanted to divert her attention. force.
She had a lot of things she wanted to say, but she didn't say them. What she didn't say naturally didn't need to be said, and she wouldn't say it again in the future.
In her heart, it was like two red and blue villains holding swords, guns and shields, fighting a duel in which either you die or I die. In the end, the blue villain wielded the gun of reason and stabbed to death the shield of emotion. red little man.
This result had been made before coming here, but when I really saw him, the inner struggle became intense again.
She suppressed the stormy waves.
She moistened her throat with saliva and said what she wanted to say. Her voice was very low, as quiet as the sound of her pulse beating against her blood vessels.
"My mother...she tricked me into going on a blind date the day before yesterday."
She shouldn't have said this, but she said it anyway, saying it would make the process less painful.
Letting him retreat when faced with difficulties is the best farewell gift for a man.
The voice was very small, but what he heard was like a bolt from the blue.
He was prepared, and his strong will, like a lightning rod, resolved this bolt from the blue. He quickly repaired the overload damage caused by this super current, which was to the heart, not the body.
"So, if you come to say goodbye, the other party must be very good?" His question sounded rustling.
"So, please..., please forgive me."
Needless to say, he would forgive her whatever she did.
She lowered her head and avoided his eyes, her eyes showing confidence in her mystery.
Set against the high bridge of the nose and double eyelids, the two eyes exude an energy that is seven parts mysterious and three parts melancholy. At this moment, any girl will be irresistible.
If she looked at him again, she would change her mind immediately.
So she didn't dare to look at the slightly bronzed skin and the face filled with sub-continental sentiment.
Time is frozen.
Pictures from the past many years flowed rapidly through his mind. The pictures kept flowing and came to the present, frozen in front of his eyes. At this moment, this situation and this scene added the final chapter to this gorgeous picture album.
This seems like a bland ending.
He adjusted his breathing and made a last effort to make this dull ending the beginning of the next climax.
He knows that this will be in vain, but if he doesn't try, he will always have regrets. This is not the case in the world.
"Jingjing, stop making trouble, I will treat you sincerely in the future."
"I really... really am not joking with you. He is a university teacher. I am very moved."
"We've known each other for so many years since college, and you just look at him... and it's over?"
"If we are not suitable, we will not be suitable for a long time."
The matter has come to this, and continuing to argue will only make her more troubled. It is better to leave a good impression and give this picture album a memorable ending.
He forced a happy face and said, "Congratulations, you have a good home."
As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand to give her a high-five in celebration.
She refused.
He had no choice but to stretch out his left hand and give his embarrassed right hand a high-five, a lonely slap.
He said there was a mosquito.
…
After he helped her pack her belongings, she carried the bag full of belongings and left alone without looking back.
The house was empty, just as his heart was empty. He felt lonely as never before in his life.
That year, when he just graduated from college, his family wanted him to go back to his hometown and take the exam to become a government employee. In order to be with her, he chose to stay. After several years of struggle, he had his own studio because he could not support two people.
, he calls it a studio, not a limited company.
Now, the struggle had lost its original meaning. He wanted to cry loudly, but he did not cry out in the end because he was concerned about the husky of Lao Wang's family next door, which was working.
After spending a long afternoon, Duan Xu made an appointment with his old classmate Hu Xiaofeng and visited a food stall he often frequented.
Wine, best friends, fill the void left by women.
Hu Xiaofeng: “Congratulations on becoming a single noble, let’s go one by one, cheers.”
"But I like duets."
"My first love, I knew him for more than ten years, he was a junior high school classmate, and we later eloped. You know this."
Duan Xu nodded and smiled to himself, that's what you call elopement, isn't it just that after graduation, he rented a house in front of the school without telling the girl's parents. Half a year later, the girl was forcibly taken away by her parents.
Hu Xiaofeng: "Look how good my life is now. You will soon understand the benefits of being single. I won't listen to your nonsense today. Let me tell you a secret."
"secret?"
Hu Xiaofeng: "In recent years, there have been volcanoes in the Fuso Kingdom, droughts in Europe, fires in America and Australia, frequent earthquakes around the world, and asteroid impacts. When the end comes, there will be demons."
"Is this a secret?"
"I saw a report on the Internet, saying that it was a prelude to alien invasion, and governments around the world were rushing to build doomsday arks."
"You are highly educated."
"Yes, higher education is self-destructive."
"He is so useless that I even believed the rumors on the Internet."
"I shouldn't have believed it at first. Then, something happened, and important supplies are now in limited supply."
"Is this happening?"
"The purchase limit of rice is 100 kilograms. Hey, if you don't cook, you don't know what rice is. On the other hand, my dad is a fisherman, and because of the limited supply of diesel, he can no longer go to sea. Building materials are out of stock, and you can't buy them even if you have money.
, Real estate has been discouraged in recent years, why is it out of stock? The country is building an ark."
"We have nine years of compulsory education, why are you so good?"
"The illustrations in my textbook are beautiful, come and cheer, break the wood."
"liver!"
After three glasses of wine, Duan Xu felt much more relaxed. When drinking, he had to find his old classmates, which was more healing.
"What are your plans if the end of the world really happens?" Duan Xu became interested.
Hu Xiaofeng: "I resigned and will go back to my hometown next week."
"Not coming back?"
"Not coming"
"Why?"
"When the world ends, where can you escape in a big city without fear of becoming a two-legged sheep?"
"Do you really believe that the world is going to end? Your job as a Fortune 500 company has such a good opportunity in your hometown?"
"Opportunities? Survival is important. Now there are fewer people delivering food and driving online ride-hailing services. Guess what's going on?"
"Encourage young people to join factories, and factories will have a bright future."
"You think they are pigs. If they don't go to pig farms, they go to slaughterhouses, and eventually they have to go to meat factories. My cousin is now going to the southwest mountainous area to build big projects, which require a lot of manpower. What else is there besides the Ark?"
"Okay, let's drink to the Ark."
"I will go back and engage in marine aquaculture with my family. Remember, in any disaster, food is the most important thing."
"Well, then I'll think about it. If you leave, I don't even have a close friend. It's not interesting. I might as well go back to my hometown."
"Your hometown is the best place, your hometown Lijiang, right?"
"Yes, Nagada is the first bay of the river."
"Yes, I heard that the country is building the Doomsday Ark in the southwest. Do you know why it is being built there?"
"The terrain is complex, easy to defend and difficult to attack."
"The mountains are high and the canyons are deep. Whether it is a nuclear bomb or an asteroid impact, the impact will not be big. It is blocked by the mountains. Even in the ice age, the bottom of the canyon can survive. This is how prehistoric animals, giant pandas, and golden monkeys survived."
"Well, people who have seen excellent illustrations are different. I'll think about it."
"Think about it, hurry up and act. Do you know the benefits of being single now? Cheers!"
…
Soon the topic turned to the college days again, and we talked about many classmates and their current situation, hoping that they could make some preparations.
It was late at night, and Duan Xu and Hu Xiaofeng were each about seventy percent drunk. The food stall owner was anxiously waiting for them to pay the bill. The two of them had no intention of ending and continued to light the skewers.
After graduating from college, the classmates went their separate ways. They stayed in Chunshen City and met each other for drinks on weekdays. Today is the time to say goodbye again. With the strength of the wine, they said everything they wanted to say. The next time they meet, they will be in the Year of the Monkey, Horse, Moon and Dog.
Rooster time.
The food stall owner used the excuse that the items were sold out, and the two of them left alone.
Chapter completed!
