I stood up with a swish!
Ding Ge?
Why was she here? Didn't she have to work overtime with her colleagues?
However, the next second, the figure suddenly disappeared into the darkness. I blinked, thinking it was an illusion?
But there was someone standing there just now. How could there be no one?
Guzheng looked at me strangely, then looked at the door and asked, "What are you looking at?"
Even though I couldn't even see dinger's face in the dark from so far away, I had an indescribable feeling that it was Ding Ge!
It was definitely her!
My heart was beating violently. I ignored Guzheng and reluctantly walked out the door. However, Ding Ge was standing across the street in a dark and empty space.
I was suddenly confused. Was what I saw just now Ding Ge?
Was it an illusion?
I could not help but pinch my temples. For a moment, I also doubted myself. Did I really hallucinate because I missed you so much?
Guzheng followed me out of the door, looked around, and asked doubtfully, "Who is it?"
"No..." I shook my head and said, "I saw it wrong."
Feeling a little complicated, Guzheng returned to the room and looked at me in surprise, but did not ask anything. There seemed to be some sadness in her eyes, but I didn't notice it.
After a while, I came back to my senses and said to Guzheng, "By the way, it's getting late. You should go back early too."
"Shoot me? This is?" Guzheng said with some dissatisfaction.
"No, it's too late. It's not safe." I did think so and said sincerely, "I'm really worried about you!"
Guzheng pouted and said, "Shall we go back together?"
"I'm staying at a hotel tonight. I'm not going back. Hu Zi and Lin Ya's brother share a bed. I can't sleep in a restaurant as comfortably as anyone else."
"That's fine." Guzheng pursed her lips and said after a while, "Actually, I have something to ask you for this time."
I didn't hesitate and nodded. Guzheng has helped us so many times. I really owe her a big favor, so if there's anything I can do for her, I'm happy to help her. So I asked, "What are you busy with?"
"This isn't small. Liu is getting married." Guzheng lowered her head in embarrassment, then looked up at me, her eyes shining, and whispered, "When the time comes, I want you to go with me and pretend to be my boyfriend."
Hearing Guzheng's words, I immediately frowned and said, "What kind of routine is this? Why do you have to bring a boyfriend when Liu gets married? Can't you go by yourself?"
My heart said, how can I still learn the vulgar scenes from tv dramas?
Guzheng looked at me unhappily and said, "Of course there's a reason for you to go. Why don't you go?"
"No, why must I pretend to be your boyfriend?"
"Meng Xingyun, I've helped you so many times. Why did you promise me every time?" Guzheng's eyes were full of grievances.
"It's not that I don't help. If it was any other favor, I would definitely help, but this is too ridiculous. You can let me accompany you, but can you go as if you're not your boyfriend? I can still accept that."
"Of course not." Guzheng firmly denied, "If I let you go, I will let you be my shield. How can an ordinary friend do that? It has to be a boyfriend!"
"Do you want me to be your shield? Sure, you can be a boyfriend if you're not."
"That won't do!"
I scratched my head and said firmly, "Why can't this work?"
Guzheng seemed really angry. He looked me in the eye and continued, "I'll ask you one last time. Do you agree or not?"
I still shook my head.
This request is simply too unreasonable!
Guzheng was so angry with me that she panted heavily on her chest and looked at me angrily. After a while, her eyes suddenly turned and she didn't know what to do. Finally, she came closer to me and glared at me and said, "You don't agree, do you? If not, then I will pester you every day before Liu gets married, like a devil, until you agree to do it."
"Can you stop scaring me?" I held my arm in exaggeration and said, "I'm timid."
"Cut!"
Guzheng looked at me with disdain and finally said, "You wait. I won't let you go."
After saying this, Guzheng left angrily. Of course, he was not really angry, just a little angry. I also walked out to see her off and said, "Be careful on the road."
After sending Guzheng away, I locked the door again, cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks that Guzheng and I used, pressed the switch, and the hall was dark. I turned around and walked to the backyard.
Lying on the bed, I couldn't help but take out Ding Ge's photo again, and couldn't help but recall that moment.
The more I think about it, the more I find it strange. Ding Ge shouldn't have been here, but that was Ding Ge!
Then, I couldn't help but think of today's fruitless wait. I was a little unwilling, thinking that I would like to continue to ask Ding Ge out tomorrow?
Thinking of this, he became more determined, so he would continue to ask Ding Ge out tomorrow!
I looked at Ding Ge's picture for a long time, touched her hair, and her cheeks, and felt that happiness was getting closer and closer to us.
She fell asleep in a beautiful dream.
The next day, it was another sunny day, but now the temperature was really much lower, and the cold in the morning was always so strong, making getting up early a particularly torturous thing.
When I got up, I stretched out in the backyard, and my cousin came out of the room, looking at me and asking, "Why are you up so early?"
"I can't sleep."
Cousin looked at the sky, rubbed her hands and said, "It's getting colder and colder."
"That's right." I smiled and said.
"Cui jiahui doesn't know how much?" Cousin looked up at the sky again, but there was a soft light of missing in her eyes.
She was only two years away from cousin cui jiahui, but she didn't want to call him brother cui jiahui. From childhood, he always called her brother cui jiahui.
My cousin was very strong when she was young, and she was stronger than boys. She always bullied my cousin, but the relationship between them was very deep.
"It must be colder than us." I smiled and asked, "You miss your cousin?"
Cousin did not answer, but looked at the sky and fell into a daze. I also followed my cousin to the sky. Although we were facing the same sky as my cousin, our day was their night, and our geographical location separated us by ten thousand miles.
I couldn't help but wonder, where's my cousin who's still in prison? What color is the sky in his place?
Taking back my thoughts, I said, "Call him when you miss him."
"Yes." Cousin said quietly, "It's still night for them."
"That's right." Twelve or thirteen hours of jet lag.
"I almost forgot how many years cui jiahui has been away..." Cousin sighed and said, "How can he be so cruel?"
I also sighed. I only know a little about my cousin. He flew to the united states for a woman, almost abandoning his family. But in the united states, his road to love was still not smooth.
For some reason, thinking about my cousin, I suddenly thought of Ding Ge.
Similarly, Ding Ge was almost separated from her family for her love, but her road to love was not smooth.
I can't help but smile bitterly. Is this the most difficult way to love?
It is said that lovers get married, how many lovers have walked together?
"Sometimes, I really hate that woman!"
Although her cousin didn't mention who it was, she was clearly referring to the woman her cousin liked. I haven't seen that woman before, so I don't know how obsessed my cousin is with him. How could he have been alone in a foreign country for so many years? He didn't speak english very well when he went abroad.
"Them? Are we together now?" I asked curiously.
Cousin shook her head and said, "Cui jiahui never mentioned it. Every time there were only those three words - I'm fine. I won't say anything else except this."
I smiled faintly, which was quite in line with my cousin's character.
Cousin shook her head in pity again.
I couldn't help but want to talk to her about her feelings again, so I cautiously asked, "Sister, what about you? Are you really going to be single all this time?"
This time, my cousin was not angry, but replied calmly, "Talking about a serious relationship is too tiring. Maintaining a marriage is even more tiring. Now that I'm watching the news, all I see is all kinds of emotional tragedies. I've been through a lot of hardships, but I can't stand living a normal life. I'm really tired from watching them, so I really don't have the strength to find a partner now."
Alas, I sighed secretly, not knowing what to say.
Cousin walked to the front hall.
Standing in the backyard, I couldn't help but think a lot more.
Although his cousin couldn't meet his family, they often called each other and were deeply concerned about each other. Dinger, on the other hand, had almost severed ties with her family.
Even if they didn't want their cousin to go abroad, they still loved him deeply and could only care about him from afar. Ding Ge's parents had kicked her out.
Cousin had a home that was hard to return, but Ding Ge had a home that he couldn't return to!
Cousin is lonely, but Ding Ge is lonely!
In contrast, although his cousin was thousands of miles away, dinger made even greater sacrifices!
I think Ding Ge should be up by this time, so I want to call Ding Ge again today.
Yes, but Ding Ge hung up, just like yesterday.
I thought that dinger would call me back like yesterday, but he didn't.
I couldn't help but feel uneasy. The image of yesterday flashed through my mind again, so I called Ding Ge again.
It took a long time for Ding Ge to get through.
"Hello." Ding Ge's voice was soft and listless.
"Ding Ge."
"What's the matter?" Ding Ge's voice was a little flat.
All of a sudden, my courage and heat receded in Ding Ge's calm, but I still clenched my fist, took a deep breath, and asked, "Are you free today?"
"I don't think I'm free."
"What about tomorrow?"
"I don't know either."
"...
I suddenly didn't know what to say, and the microphone became silent.
After a while, Ding Ge asked, "Are you all right?"
I let out a soft "Yes."
Hang up the phone.
