old age

"what's wrong with you?"

Chu Jing was in a meeting when she received a call from Yi Chen. Yi Chen spoke nonchalantly and only said that she was at the airport.She couldn't leave for a while, so she asked her subordinates to pick her up, but Yi Chen disagreed, saying that she would wait at the airport.It was three hours before Chu Jing finished the meeting and rushed over.Yi Chen wore a peaked cap and pressed it low. When he raised his head, his face was so ugly that he seemed to fall down at any time.

He wanted to speak hoarsely, but Chu Jing waved his hand again, "Forget it, get in the car first, and we'll talk after getting in the car."

She first asked her secretary to book a Cantonese restaurant with light taste, and after the car drove for a while, seeing Yi Chen's mood softened, "Come on, what's the matter?"

"I fell in love and broke up again."

"Just for this..." Chu Jing smiled, and heard Yi Chen add the second half of the sentence, "And Ji Kaiyang."

The first ripple finally appeared on her calm face.

Chu Jing held the steering wheel with one hand, smoked a lady's cigarette, motioned to Yi Chen to light it for her, took a puff, and said, "Go ahead..."

From the time Yi Chen had feelings for Ji Kaiyang until he was discovered by Zhang Yun and asked to break up, it took nearly six years for Yi Chen to cut out the complicated and simplify it, and he finished talking in less than an hour.He withdrew from the memories, only to feel a big dream, and when he woke up, they were separated.

Chu Jing didn't interrupt the whole time, entered the restaurant, closed the box door, turned around and gave Yi Chen a slap.Yi Chen's legs hurt, and he couldn't stand upright. He supported the table, so he didn't kneel down anyway.

Chu Jing had already sat down and filled a bowl of porridge, "Get over here and sit down, you're going to die."

"It's been so long, I don't need to ask where you guys have developed." Chu Jing threw the cigarette butts into the trash can. She usually only smokes when she is extremely tired. All the boxes went, "Your Aunt Zhang is too trustworthy, but we haven't paid much attention to you, and we didn't notice it at all."

She sighed, "Yi Chen, I'm very disappointed in you."

Yi Chen took a sip of porridge, it was very hot, he suppressed the pain on the tip of his tongue, "I know."

"You don't know." Chu Jing sneered, "You don't come here once in 800 years, why come here now? Do you think you tell me this, and I'll beat you up, oh, at last Well, let you also kneel for a few days, even if you share the joys and sorrows with Kai Yang, think about it later, you won't feel sorry for him, and this matter will be concluded satisfactorily?"

Yi Chen came to Chu Jing entirely out of emotion, impulsively, without thinking about the reason.Now that Chu Jing said this, he felt that he might really have this idea, so he became even more silent.

"What are you going to do next? Go back?"

Yi Chen shook his head.

Chu Jing thought for a while and threw the key to him, "This is the key to the apartment. I haven't lived there much, and it's too late now. You can stay for one night first, and let someone clean it tomorrow. I have to pay for it later." Go back to the company, let's eat, and I'll send you there after eating."

Yi Chen looked at her, feeling puzzled, and asked sullenly, "And then?"

"What then, didn't I hit you before? Not enough?" Chu Jing smiled self-deprecatingly, "I still want to hit you, but after thinking about it all the time, I felt that I was not qualified. I chose to go my own way. , don’t care about you. What you do now, naturally you don’t have to take care of me. But you are really sorry for your Aunt Zhang.”

She didn't talk to Yi Chen anymore, she answered a few more phone calls during the meal, and she was very busy.After sending it downstairs, I asked, "Do you want me to persuade you Aunt Zhang?"

Yi Chen shook his head.

"That's just right." Chu Jing sighed, "She didn't take the initiative to tell me about it, and I don't have the face to mention it. I'm sorry for her. It's better to solve your problems by yourself."

She lit another cigarette, her face was hidden behind the lingering white mist, and she couldn't see clearly, "In all honesty, I don't want you to be gay, and I don't want you to mislead Kai Yang too, but things It's already like this, I'm your mother, so I won't embarrass you much. I don't care how you go next, whether you want to break up or not. You think about it yourself. If you need anything, you can just find me. Go up and get it yourself I put ice on my face and I'm leaving."

She drove for a while, looked through the rearview mirror and saw that Yi Chen was still standing there, turned around, didn't say anything, sighed again, and put her arm on the car window, "Forget it, I will say a few more words about you with the cheek. I I’m disappointed in you, not that you’re gay. I’ve been in business for so many years, and I’ve seen everyone. There are gays. They didn’t die. They lived a good life, but it’s true that many aspects are more difficult than others. But I have a big heart Irresponsible, your Aunt Zhang can’t accept it, it’s more normal than me.”

Yi Chen's mood was complicated for a while, Chu Jing continued, "I'm disappointed because you just hide when you encounter problems. You think you are doing it for Kai Yang's own good, but in fact you are selfish and want to leave, so you You can just let him face it alone. Son, this is not good..."

Yi Chen wanted to refute her, saying that he didn't have one, and that he wanted to leave because he was afraid that he would make things difficult for him, but after muttering a few times, he felt that every sentence of Chu Jing hit the real point, and such an excuse was totally untenable.

"Am I doing it for myself?" Yi Chen thought, aggrieved and helpless.

Chu Jing lowered her head and hung up the phone while speaking, "No, I really have to go now, don't come and hang around in front of me for a few days, this suddenly tells me that you like men, and you should be with Kai Yang. No matter how good-looking I pretend I still have to get used to it. I’ve seen it happen to others, but it’s really not all pimples when it happens to me.” She shook her head, “It’s really worrying. Think about it for yourself , I don’t care too much, as long as you don’t regret it yourself. I have failed in love, and I have nothing to teach you. I still have some experience in business. Heart-to-heart, Kai Yang didn't let you down, so don't let him down."

Chu Jing bought this apartment for investment a few years ago. The layout of one bedroom and one living room was originally hardcover, but a few pieces of furniture were simply added.It is cleaned once a month, and it is generally clean, but it is not very popular.

Yi Chen didn't bother to make the bed sheets anymore, so he took the quilt from the bed cover, threw it on the sofa and planned to sleep.

After leaving in the morning, Yi Chen turned off his mobile phone, and only turned it on again during the few minutes when he called Chu Jing.He has been afraid to turn on his cell phone, hoping that Ji Kaiyang will find him, but also afraid that Ji Kaiyang will find him.

Yi Chen collapsed on the sofa, hesitated for a while and turned on the phone. As soon as he turned it on, a message popped up, Ji Kaiyang said, "Remember to buy medicine."

Yi Chen stared at the message for a while with his head propped up. He wanted to laugh and even cry. The unsteady inner desire continued to grow, frantically tearing at his reason, clamoring to go back.

Yi Chen hesitated again and again, gritted his teeth and deleted the message.I couldn't help but fumbled through the messages Ji Kaiyang sent before, the call records of the two of them, his photos in the album...Deleting them one by one, the process was no better than Ling Chi's. All stores have been restored.

But it didn't get any better, all the records reminded him that they broke up.

Let's delete it, Yi Chen thought.

He hesitated all night, and the process was repeated several times. The other party's customer service couldn't bear it at first, and gently hinted whether there was something wrong with him.

It was early in the morning, and even if the customer service didn't ask, Yi Chen felt that he was really crazy.He stood up and dug out a small toolbox in the apartment. He tossed about for a long time in a disorganized manner, breaking and dismantling it, and finally scrapped the whole phone.

Now it's completely gone, and it's useless to regret.

Yi Chen wiped the sweat off his forehead with the back of his hand, slumped back on the sofa again, exhaled heavily, and looked at the wreckage of the mobile phone on the carpet, only to realize that to achieve the same purpose, he could actually smash it directly.

Yi Chen sighed, looking extra heavy in the quiet apartment.Wrapped in a quilt, he turned over on the sofa, with one foot on the ground, feeling a little cold, but his mind seemed to be a little clearer.

What to do, Yi Chen thought, is it a breakup or not?go back?What can I do when I go back?Continue to embarrass him?

He thought about it for most of the night, his eyes became more and more sore, and his body was extremely tired. At dawn, he finally fell asleep in a daze.
