Ji Ze looked a little surprised, but there was no embarrassment after the lie was exposed. Instead, he smiled bitterly and asked, "Is this what she said?"
I nodded. That's exactly what Lin Ya said.
"Then I understand why you were so angry when you saw me yesterday." Ji Ze lowered his head slightly. He was not in a hurry to explain anything. Instead, he said something like this.
He held the cup in both hands, feeling a little indescribably sad.
I couldn't help but wonder, because Ji Ze's reaction was so different from what I expected, so I didn't say anything and just sat there quietly waiting for him to say it.
Ji ze took a sip of coffee, but there was a hint of tiredness on his face. He said, "A man and a woman are in love. Can't you hold the other half's hand?"
"Hold hands?!"
I almost jumped up when I heard what Ji Ze said. I thought what Lin Ya meant was that Ji Ze especially wanted to break through the last step of the relationship with Lin Ya. Why didn't I think that the same physical relationship had become the first step of holding hands with Ji Ze?
I leaned forward and asked, completely incomprehensible, "What do you mean?"
I know what Ji Ze meant, but I just don't understand!
Ji Ze was silent for a while, closed his eyes, took a breath, looked at me and said, "Yeah. When we were together, I held Lin Ya's hand, and I could feel her special resistance. Sometimes she would let me hold her hand, but I... I don't know how to describe it, it should have been a very happy feeling... But she didn't want to hold my hand at all. Can you imagine? We were in love for a few years, and I held her hand a few times at the beginning, but then we really didn't even have the slightest physical contact. Do you understand what I'm saying?"
I was silent, looking at the delicious coffee in the cup, but my mood plummeted!
I don't know how to describe my feelings.
It seems that I really misunderstood Ji Ze.
Ji Ze did not speak either. The two of them fell into a deep silence. The whole coffee shop seemed to have only a slow voice echoing, but I was not in the mood to enjoy it.
I didn't know what to say, and I didn't say anything else that I wanted to help Ji Ze, because at this moment, I really just wanted Lin Ya to be fine, as long as she was fine. Although my misunderstanding about Ji Ze has been cleared up, I don't want him to be with Lin Ya any more than before.
I don't want to hear any more stories about this relationship. I really hope that it can be sealed forever like history, even the true truth is unknown.
I really wish they would never see each other again. They would never appear in each other's lives again.
I wonder how ji ze will feel when he knows what's going on in my heart right now.
In silence, I looked out of the window, hoping that the traffic would distract me, hoping that the complicated world would make me restless and unable to think.
Why is it like this?
Sometimes, we are so eager to know the truth, but when the truth comes out, we can't wait to be kept in the dark for the rest of our lives.
At this moment, ji ze asked me, "Do you want more coffee?"
The coffee in Ji Ze's cup was quickly finished. I looked at mine. There were many more, but they were already cold. I wasn't in the mood for coffee and shook my head. Ji ze called for the waiter to refill another cup of coffee.
I didn't want to hear it, but Ji Ze took the initiative and said, "I rarely ordered this coffee before, but since I came to the coffee shop with lin ya, I used to order the same cup as her. I felt like I could get closer to her. Even if I can't get closer, I can get closer. I only order cappuccino. I started drinking beer and listening to intense rock music. I don't know why I did this..."
I looked at Ji Ze in front of me and felt that I still didn't know him. After all, he was a real multimillionaire, but I couldn't feel it at all. He looked no different from an ordinary white-collar worker.
I have to admit that he is really low-key. Even if I didn't know him, I realized that I was becoming less and less disgusted with him.
I smiled and said jokingly, "Like you forced me out of the studio?"
Ji Ze asked, "What?"
I said nonchalantly, "It's been so long. I don't blame you."
Ji Ze was particularly confused and asked, "What drove you away from the studio? Are you talking about me?"
Ji Ze pointed at himself and I nodded.
Ji Ze looked at me in disbelief and said in astonishment, "Why did I force you to leave? I really don't understand what you're talking about."
"It's okay, really. I know you did it because you like girls."
"No, no." Ji Ze wasn't angry either. He just smiled bitterly and said, "You really have to explain this to me. Otherwise, I don't even know how I took the blame."
At this point, I couldn't help but wonder, but the boss told me this himself, so I opened the window and asked, "I worked with the girl in the studio, you know that?"
Ji Ze nodded and replied, "Well, I heard the girl say that. He said you resigned later."
Speaking of this, ji ze spread out his hands and looked at me in confusion.
I smiled and continued, "Yes, I resigned on my own initiative. But that's because when our mutual boss came to me in private, he said that someone had fallen in love with Lin Ya and wanted to pursue Lin Ya. This person should be talking about you, right?"
Ji Ze nodded again and continued to listen to me.
But because I was very close to the girl at that time, you felt uncomfortable. He wants to drive me away, not to work with the girl. "At this moment, Ji Ze's face was shocked, but he didn't interrupt me. I frowned and had to finish the rest." But if you fire me, you're afraid that my close girl will resign together, so you secretly asked the boss to find me, hoping that I could resign voluntarily, and threatened to fire her if I didn't leave the studio."
"These are what the owner of the studio told you, right?" Ji Ze wasn't in a hurry to ask for an explanation, but asked me instead.
"Yes."
"Only the two of you know?"
I nodded. Lin Ya didn't know about it.
Ji Ze wasn't in a hurry to explain that I didn't do it. He just looked at me with a bitter smile and said, "Do you believe me if I say I didn't do it?"
I also smiled lightly, but did not answer.
Ji Ze's expression was a little conflicted, and his eyes were full of thoughts. He gritted his teeth, but the corner of his mouth was deeply helpless.
"This..." Ji ze opened his mouth and sighed, "I found that I really couldn't prove it wasn't me. Because even if I had called the studio owner over, you would have thought he was under my pressure not to tell you the truth."
Ji Ze slapped his head again and leaned back, "Dizzy, what should I say? The point is, I didn't even know that there was such a thing. Do you think I'm being blamed for this?"
After listening to Ji Ze, I began to think that he didn't do it.
But he did not find any evidence to prove that he did not secretly instruct the owner of the studio!
Ji Ze covered his head and was still thinking hard about how to get away with it. I did not disturb him and looked out of the window.
Then I began to recall that old memory.
At that time, when the owner of the studio told me about it, I was actually very annoyed with ji ze and wished I could spit in his face.
I never thought that what the boss said was a lie. He wasn't under ji ze's orders, but to please Ji Ze, or to add complex interests to it, and to increase Ji Ze's chances of success, he tricked me with a little trick to make me think that ji ze had chased me away.
If that's the case, I have to say that the boss is really good. If he had forcefully and directly fired me, maybe Lin Ya would have resigned as well, because Lin Ya was almost fired by the studio for helping me, so he didn't dare to fire me directly and asked me to resign voluntarily.
After much thought, I became more convinced that Ji Ze was not aware of this.
But all these years, I thought Ji Ze was behind it.
Today, ji ze asked me to come here to clear up the misunderstanding. Now, it's really solved. Even if ji ze can't find evidence, I'm willing to believe him.
"That's right!" At this moment, Ji Ze seemed to have thought of something, and his face lit up with excitement, "If I really did it, I forced you away just to keep you from getting closer, right? But if I really am such a dirty, despicable person, so jealous, so petty, then even if you don't work in the studio, I can use all kinds of means to alienate you from Lin Ya. I can do that, right?"
I nodded. What ji ze said really made sense.
"But I didn't, did I? You are still very close friends, even if you don't work together, but you can still meet often in private, and your relationship is still very close, right?"
Ji Ze became very excited, as if he could finally clear his name.
I smiled and said to ji ze, "I believe you. I believe you didn't do it. I should apologize to you today. I've been misunderstanding you for that all these years."
Ji Ze replied angrily, "It's okay. It's not your fault. The owner of the studio is to blame. I don't even know what he's doing behind his back. Let's see what I'll say next time I see him."
I frowned and said, "Ji Ze, I hope you don't bring this up again, and you don't question the owner of the studio. Even if this is over, no one will bring it up in the future, okay?"
I don't really want this to spread to Lin Ya. It's been a long time, and it's better to let it sink like a rock into the sea.
Ji Ze didn't ask me why, but he nodded.
