inexhaustible

"Ah, why did your leg hurt?" When the physical therapist massaged my calf, he saw the burns under the trousers and couldn't help screaming.

"Accidentally burned."

I was scalded by tea before, although I dealt with it in time, some blisters still appeared the next day.Relying on the absence of pain, I popped the blisters one by one and simply put on a Band-Aid. They have almost healed in the past few days, except for some red scars.A pair of legs were already ugly, and now they are even uglier.

"I thought it was a tattoo when I first saw it." The physical therapist smiled, "The color is quite nice, just like plum blossoms, and it's not dark."

I took a look at my calf, and felt that he was really good at talking. It seemed like a blessing in disguise for me to be told by him like this.

After the physical therapy, I got up and put on the exoskeleton. The physical therapist asked me how I felt about using the exoskeleton, and asked if there was any discomfort.

"No, it couldn't be more perfect." In just one month, I've gotten used to wearing it and acting as if it's a part of my body. Wearing it, I'm the complete me.

When I got home, the sky was not completely dark yet. After winter, the days slowly grew.

Planning to cook some noodles for dinner, I came to the kitchen to make preparations. When I looked up, my gaze stopped at 1102 opposite.

The lights in that room have not been turned on for the past few days, and Shang Muxiao has not been seen downstairs to walk his dog. I don't know if he has moved out.

He didn't come to class, didn't give me his bank card number, and his phone was blocked. It seems that he really doesn't want to have anything to do with me anymore.

I couldn't help exhaling a long breath, just thinking of him made me feel depressed and irritable.Out of sight and out of mind, I lowered the kitchen sunshade roller blind to block my sight, turned around and threw the rolled noodles into the boiling pot.

After eating dinner and washing up, I was going to write a paper for a while before going to sleep. I picked up my phone and found that there was an unread message. I clicked on it and saw that it was represented by Xiao.

[Why didn't you tell me that your leg was burned? 】

I froze, surprised at his well-informed.

I don't know if it's because I've been with him for a long time, but now I'm not surprised by his inexplicable tone, I'm used to it.

[Tang Yuan told you? 】

Tang Yuan is the name of the physical therapist.I had just finished my physical therapy in the afternoon, and in the evening Representative Xiao came to my door. Except that they exchanged news, I couldn't think of a second possibility.

[It happens to have some work contacts. 】

Sure enough, it was Tang Yuan.I explained to the other party that it was just a minor injury, and it was fine now.

【You have to take good care of your legs. 】The other side will come back soon.

Although I have never met, although the other party may just say it casually out of work, it is still a good intention, and I need to appreciate it.

[Well, thank you. 】

He didn't end the topic here. After asking about the leg injury, he chatted with me about the daily life.

【Have you got a meal yet? 】

【ate. 】

【what did you eat? 】

[Plain noodles made by myself. 】

[Why don't you cook? 】

[It's troublesome. 】

I was dual-purpose, chatting with him while writing a thesis, although I also felt that it was a bit strange for him to chat with me suddenly, but I didn’t answer out of politeness, so he asked a question and I answered it, and we chatted late into the night without knowing it.

I glanced at the time, it was almost ten o'clock, I closed the document, I moved my stiff shoulders and neck, and Representative Tong Xiao sent the last message.

[Tomorrow I have to get up early, go to bed first, good night. 】

The other side also came back after a while to say "good night", and attached an emoji of a little pig covering the quilt.

I smiled, this Representative Xiao is really a childlike innocence.

Early the next morning, I got fully dressed and drove to Yang Haiyang to meet him at seven o'clock.

Shang Yunrou doesn't like overly complicated wedding procedures, and just wants to spend a leisurely and relaxing day with relatives and friends.In addition, she was pregnant and not suitable for hard work, so Yang Haiyang simply connected with his relatives and saved the province, and just held a simple ceremony.

The wedding was held in a luxurious bungalow in the city center.The bungalow was built in the last century and has lived in many historical celebrities. It covers an area of ​​more than 5000 square meters and has a large private garden. It has been widely known for its fairytale castle-like appearance since it was built.

To avoid running back and forth, Yang Haiyang and Shang Yunrou had already moved into the bungalow a day earlier. When I arrived, Yang Haiyang was doing his hair in his "groom's room".And Shang Yunrou is preparing in the "bridal room" on the other floor.

"I'm so nervous." Yang Haiyang said, clutching his chest, "I can't believe it, I'm really going to marry Yunrou."

"It's too late to regret it now." The makeup artist joked with him.

"How can it be possible to regret it?" Yang Haiyang said without thinking, "I will never regret it in my life."

His tone was firm and his eyes were full of affection, no one would suspect that he loved Shang Yunrou, and he would hold her hand firmly for the rest of his life.

The rational pursuit of happiness is also a manifestation of desire, and desire is the root of suffering in life.To end suffering, one must eliminate one's own desires.But throughout the ages, how many people have been able to truly have no desires and no desires?It is difficult to tell whether it is another kind of "desire" to seek the ultimate "no desire".

Adhering to Buddhism and Taoism, I used to think that having too much desire is not a good thing, it will make people degenerate.But now I feel that struggling in desire is an inescapable fate for human beings. Instead of thinking about avoiding it, it is better to admit that one is born because of desire, and will also die because of desire.

No desire is not necessarily good, and a life full of desire is not necessarily bad.

Around ten o'clock, guests arrived one after another, including the elders of both parties.Everyone gathered on the lawn downstairs, well-dressed, holding champagne, whispering softly from time to time, while the small symphony orchestra on the side was playing Saint-Saëns' "Carnival of the Animals".It's just that it's kind of funny for some reason.

The makeup artist finished Yang Haiyang's styling and wanted to do it for me, but I declined. He looked rather regretful, so he sighed and took out a corsage from a box beside him and put it on for me.

Although I'm the best man, I don't need to be busy.Yang Haiyang's mother and Yang Youling happened to be outside and couldn't find a place, so I offered to pick them up so that Yang Haiyang could feel at ease and discuss the process with the master of ceremonies.

When I was approaching the door, I saw Yang Youling and the others from a distance, and I also saw... Shang Muxiao.

He took Yang Youling by the hand and was walking towards me. The two talked and laughed all the way, looking at their deep affection, they looked like a pair of uncles and nephews.

"Beijiao!" Yang Haiyang's mother waved at me from afar.Shang Muxiao, who was bowing his head and talking to the little girl, raised his head and looked at me when he heard this, his eyes stayed on my face for a moment, then quickly moved away, his expression didn't change at all, as if he was just looking at a passing stranger .

I've seen that look.When we first got together, we had a quarrel about Yang Haiyang, and he ignored me for a week because of this. This is the expression we met on the road.You can talk and laugh with others, but you don't bother to look at me.

"Beijiao, I almost couldn't find the door just now. Fortunately, I met brother Yunrou. He knew Lingling and brought us in." Mother Yang walked up and said that they would meet with Shang Muxiao The reason for coming together.

"The door here is not easy to find." Since he doesn't want to communicate with me, then I don't want to bother him, just pretend that he doesn't exist. "Auntie, shall I take you to Haiyang?"

"Okay, okay, I'll go to see him, and I'll also go to see Yunrou." She patted her small bag and said, "Today is the official entrance, and the red envelope is inevitable."

As soon as she heard that she was going to see Yang Haiyang and Shang Yunrou, Yang Youling immediately let go of Shang Muxiao and held grandma's hand instead.

"Uncle, I'm going to find Dad first, we'll see you later!"

Shang Muxiao twitched the corners of his mouth, as if he was quite dissatisfied with her undisguised preference.

"Well, see you later." He said in a calm tone.

I took the two of them to Yang Haiyang's place, Mother Yang told me some trivial matters, and then I took Yang Youling to find Shang Yunrou again.

Seeing that it was almost time, the master of ceremonies asked Yang Haiyang to go downstairs first and wait for orders.

I carried the ring box for him, and being infected by his emotions, I became nervous unconsciously.

At 11:30, the wedding march was played on time, and Yang Haiyang stood under the arch woven with green and white flowers, anxiously waiting for his bride.

The green lawn is separated by a natural carpet of flower columns, leading straight to the arch.The guests naturally separated from each other, looking at where the bride came from, just like Yang Haiyang.

Shang Lu and Fang Qinian were at the front, and Shang Muxiao didn't stand with them.There were too many people, and I couldn't find him for a while.

Fang Qinian was dressed in women's clothing today, wearing a striking turmeric dress and a top hat of the same color on his head. The tulle slightly covered his upper face, making his expression blurry.

Shang Lu turned sideways and was talking to a slender girl beside him, with an extremely gentle expression, even a little doting.Looking at the girl's face again, I knew at a glance that she was the female college student that Yu Xixi said Song Wancheng had hired to play Mei Zixun.Her eyes and the expression on her body are too similar to Mei Zixun.Compared with her, Fang Qinian can only be regarded as a poor imitation, at most an imitation.

Looking at the other side of the girl, it really is the famous director Song Wancheng.

Fang Qinian is like everyone else, Ren Shanglu talks and laughs with the girl, there seems to be an invisible barrier between them, I admire him for being so calm.

I also saw Yin Nuo in the crowd. He didn't take my class this semester, and he no longer walked with Shang Muxiao. I haven't seen him for a long time, and I didn't expect to meet him here.

He felt that someone was looking at him, and he frowned and looked at me. When he met my eyes, his face changed, and he turned his gaze away stiffly.

The simple and heavy door of the bungalow opened at this time, and Shang Yunrou walked out slowly wearing a white gauze. The simple and improved cheongsam design, with a white lace gauze that just hit the ground, was quite republican, but it was in harmony with this building. Very good match.

Holding a bouquet of white calla lilies and some kind of fern in her hand, Shang Yunrou walked towards Yang Haiyang without turning her eyes, and kept looking at him, as if all the guests present had disappeared, and only each other was left in this wedding. , the whole world is left with only each other.

When there were still a few steps left, Yang Haiyang couldn't help but took a step towards Shang Yunrou, shortening the distance between them.

The wedding ring exchange ceremony ended in a warm and sweet atmosphere. When the master of ceremonies announced that the two were officially married, everyone applauded and cheered for them.

The master of ceremonies said: "Everyone can take pictures everywhere, have some snacks and chat, and we will serve hot food later, and you can take it as you like. You can also go to the house to rest when you are tired. There are billiards and board games in the entertainment room. Of course, if You're a good dancer, and you can dance to the band's tunes with whoever you want."

After the ceremony, Shang Yunrou went upstairs to change clothes, and Yang Haiyang walked around the audience to greet the guests.I retreated under the wedding tent to quench my thirst with a drink.

"Professor Bei."

Hearing someone calling me, I looked to where the voice came from, and I was not surprised to see that it was Yin Nuo.

He bit his lip and walked towards me.

"I'm sorry." He didn't dare to look at me, lowered his eyes, and said three words unwillingly.

I leaned against the table behind me and asked him, "Why do you apologize?"

He looked up, surprised in his eyes.

"do not you know?"

"Know what? Know that you sent the email?"

The person who took the video must be someone close to Shang Muxiao, and the person who sent the video must be someone who wanted me to break up with him. Yin Nuo undoubtedly met the above two points. Almost immediately I guessed that he sent the email.

"I..." He was stunned by my rhetorical question for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

"I know that." I said, "But why do you apologize? Shang Muxiao bet me, isn't it true?"

He moved his lips, but didn't speak.

I continued: "Since it is a fact, you sent me the video to let me see the true face of this relationship. I should thank you. And you... Now that we have broken up, your goal has been achieved, and it is too late to be happy. There is no reason to apologize to me."

I really don't understand the purpose of his apology.I've done everything, apologizing to me now, it's a bit... just acting good when I got cheap.

Yin Nuo said in a low voice: "Because I did it very meanly. I was too jealous at the time. I was jealous that you could be with him even though you appeared later than me. I was jealous that you could like him openly. We grew up together since we were young, in order to get closer He, I even went to the same university as him... But he can chase you because of a bet, but he will never know that I like him. "

It turned out that the two of them had known each other since they were young, no wonder he appeared here today, maybe his family and the merchant were still old friends.

"After sending you the video, he quickly guessed that it was me and was very angry. Since then, he has never talked to me again." Yin Nuo sighed softly, his eyes flushed, "I finally, even None of his friends could do it."

There is no reason to speak of feelings, especially when it comes to Shang Muxiao.If you like it, you like it, if you don't like it, you don't like it, even if there is no me, there will be another one, and the next one, there is no way to be jealous just because of jealousy.

"I didn't blame you, you don't need to apologize." I put the drink cup on the table and planned to go into the room to find the bathroom.

I thought Yin Nuo had nothing to say, but he stopped me and told me another truth that I didn't know.

"Actually... the bet was soon voided. Ah Xiao himself said he didn't want to play anymore. Zhou Yanyi asked him to treat him to a meal, but he didn't mention it after that. Later, he gradually walked with you, and we all thought he wanted to play again. Playing, that's why I advise you not to take it too seriously... But slowly, I found that it was not a playful posture. He may not have noticed it himself, but I know, I know..." Speaking of this, he He lowered his head in shame, "He is sincere to you."

"..." I was a little confused this time.

What is certain can be reversed.
