Strangers Ten Years Later

A cup of bitter coffee for each person, the taste is unusually similar.

Lin Yi said, "I've been looking for you for a long time."

Lin Jin replied, "It's hard for you to still miss me."

Lin Yi looked at him deeply, he wanted to say too much, he didn't know where to start for a while, but in the end it was Lin Jin who spoke first: "I used you back then, I'm sorry."

"—I should say..." He moved his lips, looked up at him seriously, smiled suddenly, and said, "I should say I'm sorry. If I had had more courage back then, I shouldn't have stood by."

"That has nothing to do with you."

For that incident back then, blame Liu Yan, Ye Ziyuan, any one of those people, or even himself, but Lin Yi couldn't be blamed.

He just did it, probably the attitude that most people in this world would choose——

But Lin Jin knew that because of that experience, after encountering similar things, he would definitely not stand idly by.

Lin Yi took a sip of coffee, and started inexplicably: "When I was studying abroad, I met a boy who was very cute, and when I met him for the first time, he was also... being bullied. "

"There are a few tall black men, a bucket of ice water poured down on him, his lips are purple from the cold, and he is shivering." Lin Yi smiled, "I have always been a person who doesn't like to meddle , afraid of implicating myself in it—I have been flattering this principle for so many years, but I don’t know why, at that moment, I didn’t think about anything, didn’t think about anything, and just rushed out. Although I was arrested with him afterwards Beaten."

"But when I was beaten, I suddenly realized—" Lin Yi said, "Perhaps in all these years, I have never forgotten the look you gave me asking for help."

"I have never had a dream of you looking at me, and I have even habitually cut off that memory for many years after that-but at that time, I realized that the original scene was so vivid in my memory, It's like it just happened."

When he said this, he smiled: "I didn't want to flaunt myself as a good person, but I just wanted to tell you that I didn't help you at that time. After that, I wasn't a complete villain, and I helped others several times. .”

Lin Jin looked at him deeply: "Thank you."

"I wanted to ask you something—" Lin Yi said, "but now it seems that I don't need to ask, I already have the answer."

Lin Jin would not like him, no matter how much promises or love he gave him.

They reconciled and could become ordinary friends, but they would never be lovers.

"Goodbye."

Lin Jin finally hugged him gently, and the moment he said these two words, it was as if he suddenly saw himself when he was 18 years old.

Lin Jin's first draft of the design was partially completed, which exceeded Xu Fangzhi's expectations. He thought it would take him longer to get back the feeling he once had, but he never thought that he would turn back to the excellent Lin Jin in college so soon. .

You don't even need to transition, and you can get started quickly.

After the idea was approved, the next things went much smoother. Lin Jin split his mind to do the company's affairs more seriously, and even got a small promotion, and started to lead the case himself, at an astonishing speed.

Though he's still as out of place as ever.

In the afternoon, I made an appointment with a client in the coffee shop. Lin Jin never thought that he would meet Ye Ziyuan under such circumstances.

The point is that the other party is wearing a suit and tie - sitting next to his client, as if acting as an assistant.

Lin Jin almost rolled his eyes out.

However, he covered up his emotions very well, quickly returned to normal, sat down in front of the client, and the moment he sat down, Ye Ziyuan, who had been playing with his mobile phone, raised his eyelids and saw that it was Lin Jin, His face changed suddenly.

"What's the matter?" The customer looked sideways at him, and his voice sounded like coaxing a child.

Ye Ziyuan's face darkened, and he actually stood up, turned around and left, the customer cleared his throat in embarrassment, wanted to chase, but it didn't feel good, so he said: "I'm very sorry, this, a relative of mine, brought me out for training. "The customer is not Chinese, and he has an awkward taste when speaking, but he can understand.

Lin Jin somehow felt a little funny——Ye Ziyuan even worked as someone else's assistant?And just appear in front of him like this?

...I also know how embarrassing this person feels.

Ye Ziyuan was slapped in the face after all, and went to his brother-in-law's company to find a job. After being tossed like a dog for ten days, he couldn't bring himself to go to Lin Jin—he was choked up in his heart, unhappy that Lin Jin said If you don't like him, you don't want to lose the bet.

The moment Ye Ziyuan saw Lin Jin, he wanted to pull the tie around his neck and throw it out violently, but he held back forcefully, and stood by the road smoking a cigarette until Lin Jin chatted with his brother-in-law finish out.

As soon as Lin Jin stopped at the side of the road and shook hands with his brother-in-law to say goodbye, he rushed forward and grabbed Lin Jin's hand: "I...I'm helping my sister, and I'm here to help."

It's an explanation, but it's not like an explanation.

"Yeah." Lin Jin nodded lightly, as if he didn't want to know why he appeared here at all.

Ye Ziyuan's face was dull and hot, and he wanted to say something when Lin Jin's cell phone rang suddenly.

Lin Jin gestured for Ye Ziyuan to wait, and when he answered the phone, it was Xu Fangzhi who called.

Xu Fangzhi said: "I just read the second part of the sketch, it's very good, I don't have to interfere at all."

Lin Jin slightly bent the corner of his mouth: "As long as you are satisfied."

Ye Ziyuan was so sour after eating lemons, he stared at Lin Jin's smile—it's been a long time since Lin Jin smiled at him!

"Well, I have something to tell you," Xu Fangzhi said, "I recently went on a trip, and it will take about a month. You just need to finish the last part in this month, don't worry."

"Travel?" Lin Jin raised his voice, "Okay, I will definitely finish it."

Who is Lin Jin talking to so gently!Ye Ziyuan stared at it. If he hadn't endured it, he might have thrown Lin Jin's phone away.

He clenched his fists, and in the next second, Lin Jin smiled and said, "By the way, Fang Zhi, Yu Yan asked me to tell you—"

It turned out to be an upstart!

Ye Ziyuan's eyes widened, and he didn't care about suppressing his emotions. Before Lin Jin could finish his sentence, he slapped Lin Jin out.

Lin Jin's mobile phone fell out of his hand, flung a perfect arc in the air, and fell to the ground with a "slap", cracking the screen.

Lin Jin stood there watching for a while.

At this time, Ye Ziyuan realized that he had done something bad again, and immediately took a step back, and simply changed the subject: "You know him so well? You don't even call him by name? You put me in the where?"

Lin Jin bent down to pick up the phone, turned his head and left, Ye Ziyuan quickly chased after him, and shouted, "Lin Jin, stop the fuck!"

Lin Jin thought that Ye Ziyuan didn't intend to pester him any more, but he didn't expect the other party to come up again, Lin Jin was so annoying!

He didn't want to mess with this person on the street, so he turned his head and growled, "Get lost!"

Ye Ziyuan's face was completely scorned, and he immediately couldn't care about anything and yelled: "Do you know what happened to Xu Fangzhi? Just be nice to him! His previous lover has been with him for more than ten years. If it wasn't for breaking up Is it your turn?! Even if you are with him, can he really love you?!"

Lin Jin stopped abruptly, turned his head with a dark face, and said word by word: "Ye Ziyuan, I won't care about his past when I'm with him, do you understand?"

"Then why do you fucking care about my past?!" Ye Ziyuan really couldn't understand Lin Jin.

"Can you two be the same?" Lin Jin's mouth was lifted, and he said mercilessly: "Where are you when I don't care? What are you doing when I don't care?"

"But you don't love him at all." Ye Ziyuan said, "If you don't love him, you can't be together."

Lin Jin smiled: "Who said you can't be together if you don't love? According to you, you don't love Ji Cheng either, so why are you with him?"

"I……"

"Besides, you slept with so many people, and you love them too?" Lin Jin didn't know what was the point of saying this now, but he couldn't hold back his words just because he wanted to stab Ye Ziyuan.

Ye Ziyuan stared at him, a flash of lightning struck in his mind, he realized something, and said in a daze: "What do you mean, you have done it with him?"

"You've done it with him?!" Ye Ziyuan grabbed Lin Jin's hand violently, and his suddenly raised voice drew the attention of passers-by, but he didn't care at all, his eyes were burning red with anger , Ye Ziyuan was trembling with anger.

He can bear the words Lin Jin said to him, he can tell himself that Lin Jin deliberately stabbed him with words——

But he absolutely can't stand Lin Jin and others...

As long as he thought of the Lin Jin he had touched and touched, which belonged only to him, and suddenly being embraced, kissed by others, and lying under others, his whole body would tremble with anger.

He couldn't even raise his voice, he couldn't squeeze Lin Jin's hand with any strength, and Lin Jin flung it away with a slight flick.

"You..." Ye Ziyuan's voice became hoarse when he spoke again, and he stared at him with bloodshot eyes, and asked with great effort, "You didn't lie to me? Are you really with him... done?"

Lin Jin knew that he should be cruel at this moment - even though he and Xu Fangzhi hadn't even held hands yet.

But he still took a step back and nodded calmly: "Yes."

The bomb in Ye Ziyuan's head exploded completely, and he was shaking violently like sifting chaff. An unspeakable discomfort made him breathless, and after a long time, he said word by word: "Lin Jin, You hate me that much?"

Lin Jin looked at him, frowned little by little, and looked away awkwardly, not looking at him anymore.

"Because of what? Because I ignored you for more than ten years? Because I was with Ji Cheng? Because I have countless lovers, or—" Ye Ziyuan suddenly thought of a possibility, and he blurted out, "Or because of your mother?"

Lin Jin was shocked, and suddenly raised his gaze to look at him: "Don't bring her into this!"

"You hate me, because of me, you went to Beijing, didn't you? Do you regret it?" Ye Ziyuan stared at him firmly.

Lin Jin looked at him sadly, and Ye Ziyuan suddenly mentioned this person he couldn't even think about, making all his past come to mind like a silent movie at this moment.

They're just torturing each other now.

Lin Jin took a step back, suddenly feeling that everything was unnecessary.

He shook his head, took a deep breath, and calmed down: "No, Ye Ziyuan, I don't hate you."

"I never hated you, I only hated the ten years when I loved you."

For the first time, Ye Ziyuan watched Lin Jin leave, obviously capable of stopping him, but did not pull him.

He watched his back getting further and further away, and finally completely disappeared from his life.

That sentence seemed to send him into hell. He could accept Lin Jin's hatred for him, but he never thought that Lin Jin would say such a sentence.

He said he didn't hate him, only himself.

He said he hated the decade he loved him.

He overthrew and dispersed all his years and time. The hope that he was proud of and had always supported him "Lin Jin also loves him" was shattered by him in an instant. Feeling afraid, I dare not go up again, for fear that the broken thing will become a bubble even more.

He doesn't love anymore, even hates him for loving him.

how so?Why did it become like this?Ye Ziyuan raised his hand, wiped his face fiercely, and walked to the other side of the road in a daze.
