Chapter 23
After all, this is Liu Yan's few remaining relatives in this world. Even if such and such unhappiness had happened before, people died like lights went out. After all, it is embarrassing. I always feel that the world is impermanent, even if I know that people always come and live alone Go, but when I was alive, I saw the people close to me leave one by one. The feeling of loneliness was very fatal. Liu Yan finally felt the coldness of late autumn.
Yuan Qu leaned over and gave him a hug, which didn't mean any affection, just a simple and warm hug.
Even though I have always felt that I don't need much comfort, it seems that the absorption of warmth is already instinctive. While being nostalgic, the fear of losing is entangled again, but at this moment Liu Yan has been able to face this fear calmly, probably After such polishing time and time again, he gradually mastered the skills of calmly facing life's accidents.
After making arrangements for the restaurant the next day, Liu Yan set off for his hometown.
It happened that his buddy Jiang Ling was going down to the town to talk about the medical equipment of the township hospital, so the two stopped by and set off together.
Because Yuan Qu stayed up late the first day, he didn't get up to see him off, but only called him before he went out.
It was just a few ordinary exhortations and conversations, but after Liu Yan hung up the phone, his mood calmed down a lot.
Seeing this, Jiang Ling couldn't help but asked, "Didn't you let him go back with you?"
Liu Yan shook his head: "If I mention it, he will definitely go, but... I don't really want him to see me like that." Every time he returns to his hometown, Liu Yan always has some ups and downs, and he himself knew.
Jiang Ling was helpless: "You two have been together for so many years. You haven't seen what you look like. Even picking your feet and farting in front of each other is normal. Which couple doesn't live like this. Why do you still have such a heavy burden?"
"It's not a burden." Liu Yan shook his head: "If you really care about a person, you always want him to see the best. The things in life don't matter, but for emotional problems, he is not my psychiatrist. I don't want to burden him with another layer."
"Zifeiyu knows the joy of fish? Maybe the mess you think is nothing to Yuanqu at all." Jiang Ling steered the steering wheel with a cigarette in his mouth: "How do people die? It's because they think too much and are scared by themselves. dead."
Liu Yan curled the corners of his mouth, hiding the vicissitudes in his eyes, and put on a slightly relaxed expression.
"Drive your car well, don't pour me chicken soup indiscriminately."
"All right, all right, I see."
On the day Liu Yan returned home, Yuan Qu and Xu Xicheng had a 'breakup meal'.
Xu Xicheng's family finally softened and began to adopt a delaying policy, wanting Xu Xicheng to go to the design institute first.
Xu Xicheng is the same as his family, but he definitely can't live here in Yuanqu.
The main reason is that the relationship between Yuan Qu and Liu Yan has changed, and it will be troublesome for them to live together again, not to mention that Xu Xicheng's initial goal has actually been achieved, and now his family members know that his liking for the same sex is not a temporary passion.
Moving out from Yuan Qu's house was also planned.
Yuan Qu didn't specifically mention the matter between him and Liu Yan, but he didn't go back to the apartment he lived in recently, Xu Xicheng naturally understood it, Yuan Qu didn't say anything because he was considerate to others, Xu Xicheng didn't intend to be an eye-catching light bulb , not to mention that Liu Yan is very jealous, he doesn't look like anything, and he doesn't know how many villains he has stabbed in private.
The 'separate dinner' was invited by Xu Xicheng. He had already packed his luggage and did not start a fight with Yuan Qu at home. The two made an appointment to go to a restaurant.
The restaurant was originally ordered by Qu, and the price is not high, but it is classy and does not make people feel restrained.
Xu Xicheng was very upset, this is the benefit of being with someone like Yuan Qu.
Never makes people feel uncomfortable.
Xu Xicheng looked at Yuan Qu carefully, in fact, this is his favorite type, mature and considerate, gentle and introverted, can tolerate the shortcomings and willfulness of his lover, he has face when going out, and is comfortable at home.It's just too good to be true, making it hard to figure out. He has a little understanding of Liu Yan's psychology, because he is too good to be able to grasp it.
Yuan Qu poured Xu Xicheng a cup of tea.
"What's your plan next?"
Xu Xicheng held the cup: "Let's be 'obedient' for a while, if you push them too hard, I'm afraid both sides will suffer."
Xu Xicheng was also very sneaky when he played 'scheming' with his family: "It was precisely because I didn't want to cause too much harm that I vaccinated them from the beginning."
"It's not because they love you." Yuan Qu joked: "It's not because of love."
Xu Xicheng laughed loudly: "There seems to be nothing wrong with saying this. But for the sake of future happiness, I have to do it now. If... I mean, if they are really the kind of parents who are completely unreasonable, I don't bother to spend money. It's time to convince them." Xu Xicheng said calmly, "Teacher, what if it was you? Would you try to convince your parents?"
Yuan Qu didn't care about his sudden words: "Is there any need to persuade? Life is always going by itself."
Xu Xicheng glanced at him, and couldn't help but sigh: "So teacher, why did you follow Liu Yan?" Xu Xicheng's words were somewhat serious.
"Probably because it doesn't matter if you pick your nose in front of him?" Yuan Qu said with a smile.
Xu Xicheng was speechless.
The host and guest enjoyed the meal, but since then, it is a tacit understanding between the two parties to keep a distance. After all, they are not single anymore, and they must pay attention to what should be paid attention to.
After Xu Xicheng moved out, Yuan Qu asked the housekeeper to tidy up the room again. He went to the supermarket by himself and bought a cart of things to cook hot pot at home. Called a bunch of people, but Yuan Qu didn't have that kind of thought, it started to rain again outside, Yuan Qu glanced at the car keys still on the coffee table, and finally sighed helplessly.
Summy suddenly asked Yuan Qu to meet. The invitation came a little suddenly, but Summy's tone on the phone was not very good. Yuan Qu was worried that something would happen to her, so he had to postpone his previous plan, changed his clothes and went out.
They met in a coffee shop. When Yuan Qu went out, it rained a little bit, and his long woolen coat splashed some muddy water. As soon as he entered the coffee shop, he took off his coat and asked the waiter to serve a cup of hot milk tea.
"Why didn't you order coffee?" Summy asked.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep at night." Yuan Qu wiped his shoes with a paper towel, but he didn't care about his coat for the time being.
"It seems that I shouldn't call you out at this time." Summy said helplessly.
"It's okay. This little trouble is nothing, but if you can, find a better parking place next time." Yuan Qu joked, and he handed the paper bag at hand to Summy: "The sesame seed cake at the Lingnan intersection , I remember you like to eat."
Summy was stunned: "Ah, thank you." She smiled slightly: "You can tell me what to say, come out in such a hurry, still remember my taste?"
"It's just on the way. Usually there is a long queue when passing by that place. It should be raining today, so there are a lot fewer people. Eat while it's hot." Yuan Qu tidied up his clothes.
"Thank you." Summy took out the cut biscuits and ate them slowly with coffee: "Do you still want paper towels?" Summy was afraid that there were not enough paper towels to wipe the wet clothes.
"No need." Yuan Qu waved his hand: "Tell me about your business, are you looking for me so urgently, is it for business or private?" Logically speaking, Yuan Qu shouldn't get to the point so quickly, but Summy saw it immediately Feeling down, if you really talk to her slowly, it will be easy to get stuck in the mood and unable to get out.
"Both public and private." Summy put down the biscuits and stirred the coffee, she hesitated for a few seconds: "I plan to go abroad, can you take over the company?"
Yuan Qu was slightly surprised, but did not ask her why: "Has it been decided?"
"Yeah." Summy nodded, and said with a wry smile: "I've noticed that I've started to soften my heart recently, and my rationality tells me that this is not a good phenomenon. I want to go abroad and stay away from that person, so that I can completely heal myself." She With his head down, the delicate makeup on his face could not completely conceal the fatigue under his eyes: "He still helped out with the company's affairs this time. I have met him several times, and he still doesn't think there is anything wrong with him. You want to get back with me. I think it’s scary for two people to be together and have different ideas. Some things can be compromised, but there are always some things that can’t be tolerated. This touched my bottom line.”
Yuanqu knew that Summy and her ex-husband had always had disagreements on the definition of children and cheating.
"Even though I still love him very much." She finally didn't hide her truest thoughts: "But I definitely won't be with him anymore, if I still stay in the country, maybe I can't help but soften my heart again and again, and then Becoming less and less like myself, and I may end up becoming someone I despise myself. This is predictable, so I try to avoid it as much as possible. Maybe you think it is stupid for me to give up work for personal feelings things, but I really need a while to adjust."
"I understand." Yuan Qu took the hot milk tea brought by the waiter: "Take a rest for a while, and I will take care of the company for you temporarily. We can hire another professional manager so that you don't have to give up the company completely. After all, it is your blood."
Summy still hesitated: "I may be away for a long time, do you really mind if I leave it alone?"
Yuan Qu shrugged and said with a smile: "It's not a big event that the sky is falling. The company has maintained very well before, just follow the established route. You should believe in your previous efforts."
Summy finally breathed a sigh of relief.She has a strong personality and always appears to be invincible. In fact, there are many things that she just doesn't know how to say.After negotiating the company's affairs, she obviously relaxed a little.
"Then I'll say goodbye to you in advance, and I won't tell you when I left and where I'm going."
"Afraid he will ask?"
"Yeah." Summy nodded, and said helplessly, "That person has too many tricks, and it will be troublesome if you find out." She touched her ring finger subconsciously. The ring on her ring finger had already been taken off, but she was not used to it dropped.
"Do you think I'm ruthless?" Summy asked suddenly: "Every couple has different problems, maybe they can solve it after thinking about it? Just like you and Liu Yan, aren't they fine now?"
"Can you convince yourself?" Yuan Qu asked her back. He took a sip of the milk tea, but luckily it was only three-point sweet and not greasy.
"Can you convince yourself to accept him and what he has done?" Yuan Qu then asked.
Summy was speechless.
"The relationship between adults is very complicated. It doesn't mean that they can be separated when they are separated, especially when two people have been together for a long time, their social circles overlap, and their habits, wealth, and connections are all intertwined. Determination and perseverance. But if you want to separate, everything is not a problem, time and distance can heal a lot of things, not to mention you are so young."
"I know all of this, it's just that other people don't think so." Summy said bitterly.
Yuan Qu sighed: "No one is qualified to comment on your feelings. What outsiders think is good is not necessarily good, and what outsiders think is bad is not necessarily really bad. Love and hatred must be clearly distinguished. You owe How much I owe you, how much I owe you, two people pay the same amount to meet the standard of love, that is the plot in romantic novels. If it is really calculated so clearly, it is not a relationship. In the end, it is up to you, whether to continue this relationship Let you feel comfortable, or cut off the sea and the sky with pain." Yuan Qu's tone was flat and calm, and Summy couldn't help asking: "What about you? You can simply ignore Liu Yan's previous affairs and get back together with him ?”
Summy regretted it as soon as she finished speaking, and she said angrily: "Sorry, I didn't mean to say this."
Yuan Qu's words really irritated her a little.
Yuan Qu put down the milk tea: "I was really hurt by Liu Yan." He paused: "It was also a period of time that I couldn't sleep well, and I happened to reflect on my own problems. From my point of view, Liu Yan did indeed There are many unpleasant things, but after calming down, I can extract some things from Liu Yan's actions. If two people are mentally handicapped in a relationship, it may really be over." Up to now, Yuan Qu has I don't mind talking about his previous problems with Liu Yan.
"If I can't tell whether he is reluctantly fulfilling his lover's obligations or really invested in love after five years of getting along, then I have really lived in vain all these years." Yuan Qu smiled and said: "So, my mouth What you say is not credible, what you actually do is the most important thing." He squinted his eyes, remembering the days when Liu Yan's sudden proposal to break up caused him to be in disarray, and even his IQ dropped.
What a disaster.
"Calm down and think about it, and you'll know how that idiot Liu Yan lied to himself and tried to lie to me." Yuan Qu coughed and couldn't help laughing: "Is this a little nasty to say?"
Summy couldn't speak, and then laughed: "Being distracted by you, I suddenly feel better."
"It's my credit." Yuan Qu blinked.
Summy looked at him in surprise: "Then what happened later?" What happened after Yuan Qu and Liu Yan broke up was not a secret, their circle of friends was only that big, and things were passed around, but everyone should know what they should know.
Yuan Qu took a sip of milk tea and did not deny it.
He smiled and said: "I did it on purpose. Those friends who were indifferent and promised to be bullshit, ignored them, including Xu Xicheng, all on purpose. Of course, there was also some intention to vent their anger." He showed a little cunning , making it completely impossible to blame.
It took Summy a while to digest his words: "What do you want me to say?"
Yuan Qu laughed: "Partners sometimes need some tricks." He just chose to use a period of time to test himself and remind Liu Yan.
"Aren't you afraid I'll tell Liu Yan?" Summy looked at him angrily.
"Aren't you my friend?" Yuan Qu looked at her in surprise.
Summy also couldn't help laughing: "I feel a little pitiful for little Liu Yan now."
Yuan Qu raised the corner of his mouth: "Where is the pity?" He glanced at his watch and said with a smile: "If you don't really like it, why bother to waste those efforts?"
"Like you once said, if you really want to break up, there are a thousand ways?"
"That's it." Yuan Qu's eyes were soft: "I can't let Bai hurt such a big heart." When his mind was confused at the beginning, Yuan Qu was really uncomfortable: "As long as you think about the consequences clearly, whatever choice you make is up to you." Own."
Summy nodded: "My plan to go abroad will not change, and I will not get back together with that person." She seemed to have finally made up her mind: "I think this is the way to be responsible to myself." She seemed to let go of the big rock in her heart: "You I've looked at my watch several times, is there an appointment?"
Yuan Qu didn't deny it: "I'm going to pick up someone."
Perhaps after going through this experience, the relationship between him and Liu Yan can fully mature.
"I wish you the best of luck." Yuan Qu stretched out his hand.
Summy shook hands with him and smiled slightly: "You too, I hope everything goes well with you and Liu Yan."
