Chapter 180: A Walk by the River
It was completely dark, but the Sungai River was still so quiet and gentle, as if there had never been a storm or rapids here since ancient times. The lights of almost all the buildings in the city on the other side are already on. Half of the river is reflected in the colorful night view of the city.
I stood silently on the embankment, took a deep breath of cigarette, and then slowly exhaled it. Next, I flicked the ash that had accumulated on the cigarette butt to a long time. A gust of river wind blew, and the soot was already scattered in the air, and then drifted away with the wind.
Tang Xiaoru has been standing by my side for a long time, and she, like me, has not said a word. I glanced sideways at her and saw that she was at this moment, with a very calm expression on her face. Looking at the other side, it seems to be admiring the beautiful night view of the city.
It's just that, at that moment, I couldn't help but be slightly stunned. Under the illumination of the lights on the other side, Tang Xiaoru's silhouette is like a sculpture of a Western goddess, which is amazingly beautiful. I'm not at a high level, and I can't describe what kind of beauty she is. But I know that at this moment, my heart is beating for her and obsessed with her.
Tang Xiaoru, do you know that you are the only woman I really love in my heart. All my troubles, all my confusions, are only because of you. Without you, I might still be the stunned boy who is busy all day long for a living, and has no emotional world at all. But after having you, my life and my world have changed because of you.
It's just that I don't regret this change. It is precisely because of her that I know how unforgettable and sad it is to fall in love with someone. Dreaming of love, endless thoughts, that is a very good feeling. It made me understand that in the twenty-five years before me, I had lived so empty and pale.
Not only did I know it, but I was once again in a state of intoxication. Silently looking at the woman I love next to me, I forgot about the worries and worries just now.
In this way, I don't know how long it has been, Tang Xiaoru, who had been looking into the distance, suddenly smiled slightly. Then, she turned her face to look at me and said softly, "Am I good-looking?" ”
"Huh?"
I was taken aback, quickly looked away, coughed pretending to be calm, and said, "I...... I was thinking about things just now, and I was stunned for a while, you ...... Don't get me wrong. ”
Tang Xiaoru just smiled, shook her head, and said, "Still thinking about Zhang Wen?" ”
I had no choice but to push the boat and say, "Yes, I think I did it too hastily." If it's so direct, won't it hurt her too much? ”
As I spoke, I hurriedly put the cigarette in my mouth and wanted to continue smoking to hide my embarrassment. Just inhaled, I felt that my mouth was faint, and it seemed that there was nothing but air inhaled.
I was stunned for a moment, and Tang Xiaoru in front of me laughed out loud and said, "Your cigarette has long been extinguished, don't you know?" ”
When I looked at the cigarette butt, I don't know when, the cigarette had already burned to the end, and there was only one cigarette holder left. I couldn't help but sweat, hurriedly shook my hand and threw it away, then touched my scalp and laughed: "I thought about things too deeply, I forgot the cigarette in my hand, haha, it turned out to be extinguished long ago." ”
Tang Xiaoru was still smiling, and there was an inexplicable happiness in her eyes. I didn't know what she was laughing at, but I subconsciously took a cigarette out of my pocket, wanting to continue smoking one to calm my mind.
As soon as the cigarette case was taken out, Tang Xiaoru found out. Suddenly, she restrained her smile and exclaimed, "Huh? You just smoked one and you smoked again? Is there such a big craving? Smoke less, smoke more won't do you good! ”
My hand couldn't help but pause, and I thought to myself: Huh? Tang Xiaoru...... Why do you care about me?
Then, I immediately remembered that when I watched Xu Shu's concert that day, Tang Xiaoru saw Fei Jiahui smoking and persuaded him to smoke less. Could it be that she doesn't like men to smoke fiercely? Or is she not like the man she cares about, and he smokes fiercely?
Tang Xiaoru...... Do you really care about me? Me or Fei Jiahui, which one cares more about in her mind?
After being stunned for a moment, Tang Xiaoru said again: "Also, what kind of cigarette are you smoking?" The smell is bad and died. It doesn't matter if a man smokes, but he should smoke a little less and smoke a little better. Now that your salary is not that you can't afford to smoke a good cigarette, why are you like a miser, and you are so critical of yourself? ”
I...... For a while, I didn't know what to say. Holding my cheap Blue Mountain cigarette in my hand, I looked at Tang Xiaoru blankly, feeling a little unable to react to her sudden concern for me.
Tang Xiaoru said so much in one breath, and after seeing my sluggish expression, she suddenly realized something, immediately stopped talking, and turned her face away from me and stopped looking at me. After a while, she smiled lightly and said, "Look at me, isn't it a little nosy?" But I'm also a friend, and I'm kind to you, and you're ...... Don't get me wrong. ”
I had no choice but to sigh, my mind was a little confused, so I lost my cigarette ** and put the cigarette case back in my pocket for the time being.
Tang Xiaoru glanced at me secretly, as if she wanted to open up this embarrassing situation, so she said, "I'm tired after standing for so long." Why don't we just walk along the embankment? ”
I brought it up to take a walk around the embankment. When I came out of Zhang Yun's house, Tang Xiaoru said that she wanted to accompany me to relax, and I thought of this. Since I accompanied Zhang Yun to chat by the river all night that day, I thought that walking and chatting in this place could be a good way to relieve the troubles in my heart and achieve the purpose of relaxing.
What's more, having Tang Xiaoru accompany me and stroll along the embankment with the woman I like is something I have been looking forward to for a long time.
Therefore, I didn't hesitate at all, and came here with Tang Xiaoru. At this moment, I heard her say that she wanted to go, so I nodded and said, "Okay, let's go." ”
Facing the gentle river breeze, we walked along the embankment towards the upper reaches of the Sungai River. Tang Xiaoru walked beside me, she looked left and right here, and suddenly asked me: "I heard Sister Zhang Yun say, you were here last time, chatting with her for half the night, enlightening her out of the pain of being betrayed by her husband?" ”
I smiled and said, "Yes, I just didn't expect that the person who needed enlightenment today would become me." ”
Tang Xiaoru also laughed and said, "What enlightenment do you need?" Others have lost love and marriage, so they need to be comforted and enlightened, you have too much love, so much trouble, so you just come here to relax. Compared to Sister Zhang Yun, you don't want to be too happy. ”
I smiled wryly, "Happiness? Why don't I feel at all? ”
"Aren't you happy? There are two girls who love you so much, how many lifetimes have you been blessed? Shi Shanshan: I don't know, but Zhang Wen I know too well. She's the one who, since middle school, has been dismissive of men and has a high eye on her. And he is clean and self-conscious, and never easily associates with men. She has a crush on you, and that's your creation. ”
"Really?"
I sighed softly, but I was thinking in my heart: Zhang Wen took a fancy to me, and I didn't feel it at all. If you can take a fancy to me, then it's called creation, right?
