There were not many people on the subway at 10:30 in the evening. As usual, I finished my overtime work, took the subway, and rushed from the busiest place in Pudong to our village. Yes, I live in the suburbs. , can’t afford to rent in a prosperous area.
I was sitting on the subway, admiring tiredly the few "ugly-minded" girls sitting across from me.
Well, after staring at the computer for a day, I can relieve my visual fatigue.
A call on my cell phone interrupted the process of judging my ugly heart. It was a call from my buddy.
In this city, I am lonely. I have very few friends outside of my colleagues, so the word buddy means a lot to me.
Although I am a man, it is inevitable that I will feel lonely and helpless when I am alone in a city.
When you are alone in a foreign country, your buddies are not only people you chat with, drink and eat with, but sometimes they are also relatives and people you rely on, and sometimes they can even play a role in helping you to a certain extent. To the role of girlfriend.
Huh? Why do I feel that this expression is inappropriate?
As if I didn’t say it.
In short, in the past five years, there have been joys and sorrows, and the man has always shed tears. In the past five years, when I shed tears, he must be the only witness.
What a true brother!
By the way, what is his name? I can't remember the name right now, I'll talk about it later.
Of course, even though I introduced him so much, I actually answered the phone very quickly: "Hey, what are you making harassing calls in the middle of the night?"
He said: "So I answered the phone at night and saw that you didn’t have sex.”
“Let’s get down to business.”
“It’s nothing serious. I just checked to see if you have sex.”
"Yes, I just met Fan Bingbing yesterday. It's very expensive, pure silicone." After I finished speaking, a girl opposite looked up at me with contempt.
This should be the ugliest one among these girls.
I smiled and winked at her with my left eye, which scared her so much that she quickly hugged the arm of the girl next to her.
"Then I'll be relieved. Goodbye." After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Inexplicable.
Five seconds later, the call came back.
"You really forgot?" he said.
"What did you forget? Safety measures? Do you need a silicone cover?" I asked.
After saying that, I glanced at the "ugly soul" again. Her brows were already furrowed into a line, and she deliberately turned her face towards me. I felt a "shut" in my heart and thought, I have no sense of humor.
"Tomorrow is Saturday!" said the phone.
"What's going on on Saturday? Can you finish your fart all at once?"
"You must be stupid for working overtime, alumni association!"
Oh, yes, the alumni association, I suddenly remembered that there will be an alumni association of our university tomorrow, Saturday. Due to my busy work schedule, I have not attended the gatherings in previous years.
Oh, by the way, I finally remembered the name of the person on the other side of the phone. His name was Xu Song, and he was my best buddy in college.
Ashamed, ashamed, really ashamed, the best brother, the good brother who just remembered his name.
Xu Song said: "Boy, don't work overtime tomorrow, dress up and join in the fun, and see if there are any suitable opportunities. Don't miss it again. Don't blame me for not reminding you, Some of the girls who were single at the party last year were already married this year." I thought about it and asked, "What is your name?"
I wanted to make sure. Is the name I remembered correct?
"Justin Bieber." He said and hung up the phone.
......
Damn it, why are you so fierce? I was just kidding.
On Saturday, I got up early and went to the company to work overtime.
At four o’clock in the afternoon, I suddenly remembered that there was a class reunion at seven o’clock in the evening.
I walked to the bathroom mirror and looked at myself. Well, I didn’t shave, my hair was disheveled, and my clothes were wrinkled.
Do you want to attend the class reunion?
Participate, I must be the guy in the corner. If I didn’t participate, I would be really worried about my life-long events. After all, once you are old, you are afraid that in two years you will be described as "still charming" or "strengthened with old age". If you have a baby, you will have to wait until you have a child.
I looked in the mirror and looked at my appearance. I looked sloppy.
Whatever, to be honest, my appearance is not bad, to be honest, I am pretty handsome. I used to keep things neat and tidy, but I still haven’t found a suitable partner.
When you enter society, you will find more and more that if your appearance is X and other things are Y, your personal comprehensive score = 0.001 Not that important.
So, I almost went to the class reunion wearing slippers. Fortunately, I didn’t wear slippers today.
Of course, no matter what you look like, it is still necessary to tidy yourself up, but I don’t think I can meet the right person in my heart today, and I think, with my handsome My facial features, charming figure, and baby-like supple skin that looks as if I have been beautified. They will definitely make up for my sloppy clothes and captivate the man, no, woman, who is waiting for me at the starting line of love.
The party was scheduled to be held at a restaurant on Guoding Road in Yangpu District. I arrived in such a hurry that it happened to be seven o'clock.
Although I don’t really want to attend, it’s always bad to be late.
At the elevator door, Xu Song called me and asked me where I was. He said that everyone was basically here.
I said, wait for the elevator downstairs.
I was waiting for the elevator with my head down and talking on the phone. Suddenly, there was a fast and urgent "tacking tap" sound of high heels in my ears, followed by a female voice "Ah!"
Then my phone was knocked to the ground.
I was hit.
I was confused at first, and then angry.
You can bump into people while walking. Isn’t this person a fool?
The phone screen won’t be broken, right? This is the mobile phone I just replaced. I almost sold a kidney to buy it.
"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I was in a hurry just now." The "idiot" who bumped into me spoke.
I picked up the phone and took a look. Fortunately, it was not broken.
I was angry inside but calmly and friendly said "It's okay" on the outside, and then glanced at her. She was tall and well-proportioned, with delicate features, fair skin, and light make-up. She was an absolute beauty, even... To describe it as stunning.
What’s the use? People are stupid!
The elevator door opened, and we followed the flow of people into the elevator.
The elevator is often the moment when everyone collectively suffers from embarrassment. Fortunately, I got off the elevator on the third floor and looked for the party room.
I noticed that she also got off the elevator on the third floor and walked in the other direction.
The room is called "Colorful Auspicious Clouds".
I admire you for being so charming while having a meal.
Based on my poor sense of direction, I must have turned half a circle and then stopped at the door of "Colorful Auspicious Clouds".
I looked up and checked again, and suddenly I heard the "ta-ta-ta-da" sound of high heels and they stopped next to me.
I turned my head, and the "idiot" was also looking up at the "colorful auspicious clouds".
At this time, the private room door suddenly opened.
“Hey, it’s just right, you are here, come on, come in.”
At this time, the “idiot” also noticed me and looked at me with surprise and embarrassment. He smiled slightly, nodded and entered the private room.
Round table. There were only two seats left. "Idiot" and I took a seat, just opposite each other.
The dinner began, everyone chatted for a while and began to introduce themselves.
I noticed that the "idiot" opposite me was always smiling and slightly nervous, looking a little green.
By accident, she and I looked at each other, a little embarrassed. I smiled slightly and prepared to look away. Unexpectedly, when I smiled, she suddenly opened her eyes in surprise. Then he frowned in disbelief, and finally glared at me with a complicated expression.
I was worried that I would kill you. What was going on? You bumped into me. You were so shy and embarrassed just now, and now you are staring at me?
Could this person really be a fool? I was confused. I was about to smile and wink my left eye in response, but suddenly I was stunned.
This, this...this is after working overtime last night...when I was telling Xu Song the love story about "Silicone and Fan Bingbing" on the subway, The girl with the "ugliest heart" sitting opposite me... I guess...
"Oh my god" burst out in my heart for a moment, it's over, it's over, embarrassment syndrome Fan, I was embarrassed that I was in the advanced stage of cancer and my reputation in the alumni circle was about to be difficult to protect. I simply covered my face with one hand and looked like meditating, and by the way, I was really meditating.
My face is so big that I can’t cover it with one hand, so I might as well use two hands.
Well, I’m really free. I’m here to attend a party today. Why don’t I work overtime?
"Hey Chen Heng, it's your turn." Xu Song whispered and pushed me with his hand.
"I..." I put down my hand and looked at everyone with a smile. My mind was blank, my heart was in a state of confusion, and I was on the verge of collapse.
"I..." I opened my mouth again with a smile, but I didn't even fart. I kept a stiff smile and looked at me expressionlessly. Everyone, including Xu Song, who was surrounded by a confused face, felt like a fool.
What I fear most is that the air suddenly becomes quiet and the whole room becomes silent. I still keep smiling.
"I'm here to make money." After holding it in for a long time, I don't know why I said such a neurotic sentence. Maybe it was because I subconsciously wanted to distance myself from this circle to prevent myself from being confused. Feeling awkward.
After I said this sentence, I saw a circle of black question mark faces surrounding the round table.
Fortunately, I finally came to my senses before I became even more embarrassed.
“I’m just kidding, haha.” I awkwardly smoothed myself over, and then started to introduce myself seriously, and even almost pulled out my family tree so impassionedly.
After a round of introductions, I finally found out that the girl opposite was named Yu Nuannuan. She had just graduated a year ago. I didn’t hear any other information.
Perhaps because of her beauty, some mature schoolmates began to make arrangements to introduce boyfriends to Yu Nuannuan, and some even moved out their own children who were still in college.
Xu Song pushed me when he saw this, probably meaning you should go ahead and don’t get robbed.
I kicked him, trying to tell him that even if the sow had trouble today, the girl wouldn't.
Obviously, he didn’t get what I meant, so he kicked me and stopped talking.
Maybe young and beautiful girls can easily become the center of attention, so someone else asked: "Hey Nuannuan, what do you think of what I just said? I know a little boy who is really nice. Do you want to Let me introduce you and see what you want."
Yu Nuannuan obviously had not experienced this kind of scene and seemed a little embarrassed and awkward. She was quiet for a while and seemed to calm down. , then smiled back, then gave me a meaningful look, and said to the person: "As long as he is a serious person, everything else depends on fate."
Bah, why am I not serious? , would it be inappropriate for me to make a dirty joke while chatting? Dude, I am a serious person. I am ten thousand times more serious than countless people who seem to be sanctimonious. I have not touched a woman in five years, except for silicone ones.
I also echoed in a low voice: "Haha, yes, the most important thing is to be upright, and the most important thing is to be upright."
This meal was so embarrassing , I can’t brag about my career achievements, I can’t brag about my family happiness, and there is a cactus opposite me that glances at me from time to time and pricks me.
People are tough. Even Xu Song is planning to have a baby. Why on earth am I here to join in the fun?
I suddenly thought of a question. Since I met Yu Nuannuan on the subway after get off work yesterday, I reasoned with my toes. She must have followed me when she went back today. This is inevitable. It's a little embarrassing.
I thought, should I find some excuse to slip away first, so as not to be embarrassed by walking together later, and then, suddenly, the party was over.
…….
Applause, the meeting ended in time.
I glanced around and unexpectedly found that Yu Nuannuan was no longer there. I breathed a sigh of relief, but just in case, I decided to take the bus back.
When I approached the bus stop, I found that the bus had just arrived and a few people were still queuing up in twos and threes to get on the bus.
It’s too late! I hurriedly ran all the way, showing off the energy I used during the physical education test in college, and caught up with the bus at a speed of 100 meters in two minutes.
As soon as I got on the bus, I turned on the radar mode with my eyes, locked the empty seat in one second, sat on it in two seconds, breathed a long sigh of relief, glanced at the seat next to me, took out my phone, and Spend a long drive.
No, please play back the camera.
Does it look familiar...
I held the phone and was stunned for two seconds. I slowly turned my head and found that Yu Nuannuan was looking at him with a look of despair. I.
My face was expressionless, and the lake in my heart was calm, except for the grassland beside the lake where ten thousand cute horses named "Grass Mud Horses" were galloping.
The bus launches like a Lamborghini, with a strong push-back feeling. But time seemed to freeze at this moment, and there seemed to be silence all around.
I swallowed and forced a smile: "What a coincidence."
Yu Nuannuan also squinted her eyes and smiled politely, and then turned her head away. Look at me.
The long drive seemed even longer at this moment, and I was even a little restless. I kept thinking whether I should explain the misunderstanding yesterday, but I was afraid that it would get darker and darker, and... She didn't say anything, just looked out the window with her headphones on.
Forget it, what’s the explanation? I just made a dirty joke and was overheard. After today, we will be strangers. The pace of life is fast and everyone is so busy. Who has free time to care about whom?
I leaned back on the chair and squinted for a while. When I opened my eyes again, I glanced sideways and found that she was still looking out the window.
A beautiful woman wearing headphones is reflected in the car window. Outside the car window is the colorful Shanghai. It is so beautiful and charming that even the fallen leaf that suddenly floated on the car window is not willing to float away anymore. It just hangs. On the car window, it beats gently in the wind.
I suddenly had the illusion that I was riding home in the car with my girlfriend.
I smiled to myself and thought, I have lost all my image, so what kind of girlfriend do I have? Besides, I can’t hold this kind of girl, she is not a fuel-efficient lamp at first glance, I thought. I feel tired just thinking about it, and I have no interest at all.
As expected, like me, she got off the bus at Century Avenue Station and prepared to transfer.
They seemed to be walking side by side quite consciously, but neither one spoke to the other.
She didn’t speak, and I didn’t bother to pay attention to her. Her high heels clicked on the road, forming a regular rhythm. I listened to this beat boredly, and the regular beat was suddenly accompanied by a sound of " Ah!" It stopped, and her heel was inserted into the drain. Hahahahaha, perfect, so satisfying, it makes you think you are noble.
Life is just like a TV series. The plot in this TV series hit me over the head today, either right or wrong, but the subsequent development should be different, because I have no intention of being romantic with her.
I glanced at her. She was squatting on the ground with her head lowered. I didn’t know if she had twisted her foot. She raised her head and looked at me, as if asking for help. Her expression seemed to be in pain.
My heart suddenly felt at ease. I pretended not to notice it, threw my hands away and continued walking forward, almost jumping.
But after only taking two steps, I couldn’t help but look back under the condemnation of my conscience. I looked at her pitiful and delicate body, and thought of the beautiful face reflected in the bus window.
It’s just that I feel embarrassed and ashamed. What’s her fault?
I resolutely turned back to her and helped her take out her high heels.
"Is your foot twisted?" I asked.
"It's twisted, it's not serious." Her tone sounded like she was suppressing pain.
"Do you need artificial respiration?" I asked.
"You! You want to die! Why do you need artificial respiration when you twist your feet!"
"Why are you so excited? You don't have any humor at all."
I'm half Kneel down and say: "Come up."
"No, thank you."
"You're welcome, I'll carry you."
"No need, really. Thank you, I can do it myself."
"What are you trying to do? If I don't carry you, how can you leave? Don't show off." I finished and prepared to pull her away.
"Hey, hey, hooligan!" She suddenly became anxious.
WTF! What the hell. I'm kind enough to carry you, but you call me a rogue?
Huh? It's a shame that I felt guilty just now, and that I felt pity in my heart. It's like feeding a dog with my conscience!
Just squat here for a night and see if any kind-hearted person saves you. If not, you will be unlucky.
I was angry and ready to leave, but I couldn't bear it, so I just forced her to stand up, then turned around and carried her on my back.
Fortunately, she didn’t really struggle anymore, otherwise she would have consumed at least twice as much energy on my part.
Shanghai is beautiful at night, especially Lujiazui.
The wind at the end of September is already a little cool. It’s past ten o’clock in Lujiazui and there are still traffic and people. There are tall buildings on both sides of the road, full of light, and the trees on the roadside are lush. I carry her on my back and walk under the car lights and street lights. Behind the intersecting century avenues is the Oriental Pearl Tower, which changes in charming colors.
Hunting is prohibited on the roads here, so although the traffic is constant, the tranquility of the night is still revealed. This is the unique tranquility of Lujiazui at night.
