Long Street

Chapter 38 Occasionally

In 2015, Xiang Yu’s impression was always full of sadness and color.

On the day of the Spring Festival, tourists and local citizens of a certain city gathered in the square to watch the lanterns and New Year’s Eve fireworks, accidentally crowded and stampede.

There were nearly a hundred casualties. As soon as this news was broadcast, it attracted the attention and regret of the whole country.

It’s just that Xiang Yu was with Jin Fubai at that time and paid little attention to outside affairs.

When I heard that it was late spring, magnolia trees and trees were in full bloom, and the streets were full of flowers.

She was sitting at her desk, eating a tomato beef pasta from a convenience store, and listening to the other two assistants talking about the big things and small things in the news.

One of the assistants swiped his phone a few times and suddenly exclaimed, “God! There was a big explosion in Gu City last night. Look at this picture, it’s all mushrooming.”

The explosion was very serious. Firefighters and policemen sacrificed nearly a hundred people and nearly a thousand people were injured in the explosion.

More than 300 buildings, more than 7,000 containers, and tens of thousands of cars were all damaged in the explosion.

Xiang Yu saw the video in the video, and the fire at the scene was like hell.

She suddenly remembered that she had a college classmate who was a fireman in this area.

The classmate’s phone call has been unreachable, and when I received a reply, it was a week later.

The classmate’s family choked and said, thank you for your concern. He died in the explosion. Our whole family is proud of him.

Asked Yu to take two days off to attend the funeral of a classmate.

In all the sorrows and sorrows, she wore black, recalling the past moments on campus, very uncomfortable.

There are some separations, which are always caught off guard.

But compared to this kind of yin and yang separation, it seems to be separated by only 15,000 kilometers. Occasionally, the kind of separation where you can hear a little news is a lot of relief.

Back from Gu City, Xiang Yu rented a small house in the apartment building next to the company.

In her free time, she learned to cook rice and soup. It was stable from 9 to 5, and she started to help Zhou Lie deal with the documents after she had a lot of free time.

Her attitude of struggling with everything and everything in the company fell in the eyes of her boss Zhou Lie, which was very gratifying.

One day Xiangyu made coffee in the lounge. When he turned around, he saw Zhou Lie standing behind him, leaning against the wall of the lounge, holding a cigarette case in his hand.

In 2012, this boss Zhou worked overtime every day until midnight for the company, and was almost choked with wild vegetables.

Now the company not only occupies the first floor of the office building, but the downstairs is also wrapped up. The tide has risen, and he has learned to smoke.

He poured himself a half cup of coffee, blew it, and drank it all in one sip: “I don’t make a sound when I come in, it’s really scary.”

Zhou Lieyang clicked on the cigarette case in his hand: “Mind if I smoke a cigarette?”

“You are the boss, you can smoke whatever you want.”

But when she watched Zhou Lie knock out the cigarette, her expression was normal, still her usual careless salted fish look.

Until, Zhou Lie took out a small slender box.

Xiang Yu couldn’t see the change in her face, but she must have shown some extremely obvious expression that made Zhou Lie who was about to light a cigarette follow him with a hesitant and startled expression.

Zhou Lie gave his hand, his eyes full of astonishment as if he had seen a ghost: “Xiang Yu? Xiang Yu? What’s wrong with you, Xiang Yu?”

She was called back to God by Zhou Lie aloud.

Zhou Lie’s cigarettes and small long thin boxes were all on the table. People had already walked over and asked her anxiously if she was uncomfortable and why her face was so bad?

What’s up with her?

In fact, it didn’t matter, it was just that when he took out the small box, she suddenly thought of someone.

The man has a pair of pampered hands, when the joints under the skin on the back of the hands protrude, they look like fan bones made of warm jade.

He always used these two hands, holding a cigarette, gently twisting the pipe with his fingertips, and then poking agarwood sticks in.

She once said that no one has ever done smoking as elegantly as Chunshui Sencha.

Only Jin Fubai.

“Xiang Yu?”

Xiang Yu finally recovered, took a deep breath, and then concealed the tremor in his breath by holding up the coffee cup when he exhaled.

She thought she could calm down for an instant, sip the coffee, and when she put down the cup, she looked at Zhou Lie with an inexhaustible expression.

“What’s the matter?” Xiang Yu asked calmly.

Zhou Lie pointed to her coffee cup: “Your coffee cup is empty.”

Xiang Yu’s thoughts were thoroughly dismantled, and he simply didn’t pretend to be.

She slumped in the chair and saw Zhou Lie picking up the cigarette again, and couldn’t help but quietly said, “You, is this Chenxiang?”

“It’s not agarwood, it’s Lung Yi Qingfen. Dip it in a cigarette and then smoke it will give it a mint taste. I have a cold and my throat is uncomfortable these days. I heard that this can relieve some.

Zhou Lie said that he took the lighter, and before lighting it up, he asked again, “Mind if I smoke a cigarette?”

“Mind.”

“…You didn’t say that you mind just now?”

Xiang Yu looked a little dull, raised his hand and pressed his temples, arguing nonsense about the reason: “Smoking is bad for your health and it is easy to get lung cancer.”

Zhou Lie has been in shopping malls all these years, and he is no longer a fool who just said to Xiang Yu, “your boyfriend is handsome” after seeing Jin Fubai in a luxury car.

His eyes were calm as usual, but he also had insight into everything. He put away his cigarette and said with a smile, okay, leave a fresh air lounge for you, I will go back to the office first.

After all, it was the boss, Xiang Yu didn’t let him go empty-handed, and poured him a cup of coffee, which was regarded as an apologize for not allowing people to smoke.

I don’t know which employee heard this conversation, and gossip arose in the company.

It is said that Zhou Lie and Xiang Yu are lovers, and that Zhou Lie and Xiang Yu are different from others.

I also said, maybe the ring in her hand was bought by Zhou Lie.

The dialogue of not letting smoking has evolved into various versions, such as the coquettish version, the petting version, and what kind of domineering presidential style.

Xiang Yu heard it occasionally, but didn’t take it to heart.

During that time, I didn’t sleep well in taro. I ate a few bottles of imported melatonin, but the effect was very little.

Later, when I went to see a Chinese doctor, the doctor recommended her to drink some wild jujube ointment. After a period of time, there was no effect.

She often dreams, but she can’t dream of Jin Fubai’s figure.

But she can always dream of a long street in which she runs, but never sees the end.

Because of poor sleep, Xiangyu lost a few kilograms when others clamored about sticking to the autumn fat in the fall of this year.

One day when the meeting ended, Zhou Lie called Xiang Yu on the internal phone: “You come to my office.”

Zhou Lie briefly talked about the gossip in the company, and said that some people said that I bought the ring in your hand. This is probably not good for your boyfriend. I am going to expel a few. You can check the list.

Although Xiang Yu is salty, she doesn’t know anything about the company. She glanced at it and said with a smile, “What a big deal.”

After finishing speaking, I was stunned for a moment.

What a big deal.

These words were probably learned from Jin Fubai, who disdain to argue with others, and compared with Li Qi and the others, he was quiet.

The few times this sentence came out, it was probably all addressed to Xiang Yu.

As if anything is in his eyes, it is not a big deal, always calm.

But such a calm man, when they parted, a tear fell on the back of her hand.

She did not open her eyes, nor did she see how he left.

Just remembering that day, I always feel the pain of being burned by the boiling water on the back of my hand.

After a moment of distraction, Xiang Yu continued to say, “These few work are pretty good, and the work attitude is fine. Gossiping after a meal is not a big deal. If you really look unpleasant, fine some money and forget it.”

Every company has some little gossip, as long as the parties don’t mind, this kind of thing doesn’t hurt you.

Not to blame them, the environment they came into contact with, the ceiling was that the boss of the company was Zhou Lie, and if they wanted to give Xiang Yuan some gossip, they could only start from Zhou Lie.

Zhou Lie thought about it, smiled and said, “I’m afraid your boyfriend will mind.”

Xiang Yu took the mini binoculars and looked at the opposite office building. There was a bird of paradise on the desk on the 7th floor.

She looked at it for a while and said softly, “If he has a chance, it would be nice.”

The voice was too low, Zhou Lie couldn’t hear clearly, and asked, “What did you say?”

“It’s nothing, I said he is not in the country. You can’t hear these rumors, so don’t worry.”

Xiang Yu gathered the binoculars and suddenly said, “Zhou Lie, please, can you give me a table in your office.”

Zhou Lie responded and said, “Oh, don’t you add the table to the gossip at this time?”

She didn’t care at all: “Now that the work pressure is so high, let the employees gossip and gossip, as a decompression, even if I am an idler to make a contribution to the company.”

It was the winter of 2015, and the year was about to end again.

Xiang Yu never dared to think too much about Jin Fubai. After he left, even if she left the house and car to her, she never went there once.

She hadn’t even been to Li Qi’s place.

Sometimes she feels that they are not separate.

He just came back suddenly, like every time he went abroad, and appeared in front of her, telling her those ambiguous ridicules, like a pervert.

She tried to avoid all the memories of Jin Fubai until Xiang’s father and mother suddenly returned to China.

This year’s project for the father and mother is very deserted, and finally I have time to spend more days in China, but it is not comfortable.

After their parents returned to China, Xiang Yu moved home and stayed with them for a while.

She was very sad at that time because her parents always mentioned work matters, and they always mentioned the top 100 companies.

When I mention it, I can’t help but complain.

They said that all the bids put out at the beginning of 2013 can be won. Why is the company doing better now, but it has not been able to win the bid in the past two years?

Xiang’s father squeezed a small glass of wine and sighed: “Furthermore, there was a clear sign of winning the bid last year, but it was later returned. It is useless to give gifts or get through the relationship.”

Xiangmu also looked very melancholy. She said, “Where are we not doing it? It must be one of the leaders above who is dissatisfied with us and deliberately embarrassed us.”

Xiang Yu sat at the table, quietly sipping the sam chicken soup cooked by Aunt Chen, silently.

They didn’t know that Jin Fu had spent so much effort in trying to return the tender.

He said that I can’t make my father-in-law lose money, don’t you?

That tone still seemed to linger in the ears.

Xiang Yu swallowed a spoonful of chicken soup with difficulty, as if casually: “Dad, did you give a lot of gifts for bidding?”

“How do you know, doing business is not easy. The gifts for the holidays are all delivered in carts and carts, and the money for the dinner can be used to buy you more than a dozen handbags.”

After talking to the mother, I suddenly remembered something, “By the way, who gave the ring on your hand? Have you got a boy who gets along well?”

Xiang Yu looked down at the chicken soup, a little light at home was reflected on it, and her face with a lonely expression was also reflected.

But when she raised her eyes, she still smiled, shook her head, and just said: “We haven’t told you yet, don’t ask, young people need privacy.”

That night, she finally dreamed of Jin Fubai.

There is only one back.

He turned his back to her, brushing his teeth in front of the sink, wearing only a nightgown.

She has wide shoulders and narrow waist, and her back is so charming.

Xiang Yu babbled in his dream:

Jin Fubai, you are so miserable. My parents have to send out several cars every year when they give gifts. They don’t know that you received the tender documents.

If you want me to say, those gifts should be given to you.

If it’s something my parents gave you, you can’t pile it up in your big warehouse, throw it away, and don’t treat it as a good thing.

Jin Fubai, am I talking to you, did you hear me?

This must be a dream, because he would not be so indifferent in reality.

In reality, he would probably spit out toothpaste and teased her unscrupulously. It was given to me by my father-in-law and my mother-in-law. How come I have to give it up as a family heirloom, don’t you?

After waking up, Xiang Yu felt a big hollow in his heart.

She thought, it was this feeling that she didn’t forget it.

If you say that all these trivialities about Jin Fubai that flow inadvertently in life, Xiang Yu consciously cannot resist, but he can barely hold on with his scalp.

That Tang Yuchi’s departure was the last straw that crushed the camel.

The New Year of that year had not yet arrived, and only a few days away, Tang Yuchi suddenly gave Xiang Yu a video and voice call. He said, Xiang Yu, I am going abroad.

His head is still the white porcelain bottle. Tang Yuchi, who has always been naughty and not grown up, will speak in such a heavy tone.

He said that his college classmates started a business abroad, and he also wanted to go together.

This is the reason that I have said to godfather and godmother.

But in private, they talked for a long time.

So Xiang Yu knew that he went abroad for more than this reason.

Because of Ansui, she frequently found Tang Yuchi during this year.

At the last meeting, An Sui cried fiercely and asked Tang Yuchi in a crying voice: “Can I come back? Can I come back to you?”

She was very thin, she cried and squatted curled up on a chair, her eyes were like a moon filled with rain, sad and bright.

Tang Yuchi remembered the scene many years ago:

At that time, Anho was wearing a school uniform, covering his face with his wide sleeves, only showing two red ears.

He urged, Ansui, do you agree or not? Be my girlfriend, I will spoil you for sure.

I don’t know how long it took, but a voice came from behind the thick sleeves of the school uniform.

She said, then you must speak up.

But that is all over, the current Ansui, even if she cries so distressingly.

She also wore a brand-name dress, her bag and shoes were brand-name, and her earrings and necklace were shining in the sun.

And these famous brands were given by other men.

Tang Yuchi looked at her for a while, then raised his hand and patted the top of her hair: “Sui Sui, go back, don’t come to me anymore, I don’t remember the feeling of loving you anymore, sorry.”

On the day Tang Yuchi went abroad, Xiang Yu went to the airport with his godfather and godmother to see him off.

They hugged at the international boarding gate, and Tang Yuchi said: “When I get my fame and come back, please call me Mr. Tang!”

Xiang Yu pulled his ears, and while godmother and godfather couldn’t hear him, he gritted his teeth and asked in a low voice: “You have a fart, coward, you actually want to hide from the country for this thing?!”

Tang Yuchi also whispered back: “I’m a hundred times more energetic in hiding from the country, I’m better than you all day long and depressed!”

“How can I be depressed!”

“You haven’t yet?! I went to Fatty Lu’s wedding in September. I think your expression is like a condolence. Fortunately, Fatty Lu has a good personality, and I bravely drank a lot of wine for you, otherwise you can be put back alive by them? ”

Fatty Lu is their close friend and a rich second generation.

Xiang Yu was not deliberately upset that day, she just accidentally saw a familiar face in the guest table, and the person greeted her and called her sister-in-law.

Tucao to the taro: “You are embarrassed to talk about me? You don’t listen to me if I told you to drink less. In the end, I drank it as a dead dog, or I brought you back!”

The two were teasing for a long time, and it was time for Tang Yuchi to go in for security.

He hugged Xiang Yu again, and gently urged: “Take care of yourself and be happy. Don’t meet again. Jin Fubai is still so rich and handsome. You are ugly and old, like a ghost.”

Nodded to Taro, and said softly: “I see, I have a safe journey and call me when I land. Don’t worry, I am naturally beautiful, and I am still a beauty at 80. The ugliest thing is you. Foreign plastic surgery technology is developed. You are more. Consider it.”

When she left the airport, her heart was empty as if she could hear the wind through the hall.

The last person who could talk to her about Jin Fubai also left.

Xiangyu’s nose was so sore, but when she remembered, Jin Fubai had said—

“Don’t cry when I’m away, for fear that others will not coax you.”

Not far away, the godfather was beckoning to her: “Taro, go, godfather and mother invite you to dinner.”

She suppressed the sourness, raised her head and smiled: “Okay.”

And that year, she didn’t have any news about Jin Fubai.
