I closed the door and the window, and the smoke swirled around the hall. Gradually, the smoke seemed to have turned into a sad woman, complaining about her in the air.
Old Gao stood up and took three glasses and a bottle of white wine from behind the counter. He couldn't help but break up and poured three glasses of white wine for the three of us and moved to the three of us.
The three of us moved our chairs forward, but we were not in the mood to drink today. We drank when we were happy, when we were unhappy, and it seemed to be the first time in this situation.
But before we could speak, we raised the glass together, without the strength to clink it. We raised the glass in the air and started drinking.
Hu Zi took a sip of the wine and then raised the glass in front of him. The smoke hovered around the glass and then drifted away. Hu Zi just looked at it, lost in thought, and then took another sip.
I remember when Hu Zi Old Gao was in a bad mood and went out for a drink, neither of us wanted to talk. We had a lot of beer before we started talking. Today, Old Gao took a sip and said, "Hu Zi, you say that you're being rude. Who can't you provoke? She just provoked xiaoyi and Xiaolian! Both of them are waiters in our restaurant. They play with each other right under their noses. Do you think paper can cover the fire?"
Hu Zi didn't say anything and smoked heavily.
Old Gao looked very angry. He pointed at Hu Zi, took another sip from his glass and said, "You, really! This time, I really don't know what you think! Why don't you say something? What's wrong with being silent all the time?"
Old Gao must be on the side of xiao yi and Xiaolian at this time, and he sympathized with them. After all, Hu Zi was really wrong. Old Gao was so angry with Hu Zi that he obviously regarded xiao yi and Xiaolian as friends.
Compared to Old Gao's anger, I feel more guilty now.
Because I should be the first person to know about Hu Zi and Xiaoyi's relationship, and I think if I tried to persuade Hu Zi, maybe Hu Zi wouldn't do such a thing.
After Hu Zi was betrayed by Li Xiaowei, I could clearly sense the change in Hu Zi, even the changes that made me a little worried. But I always thought that Hu Zi was still the same Hu Zi, so I didn't pay much attention to him. I thought that with time, Hu Zi's mind would gradually adjust, especially when he and Hu Zi walked together, and I thought that he would walk away from the shadow before. It's coming out.
Now, it seems, no.
In the past, I was really troubled by my own feelings, but I couldn't talk to my brother. In addition to the busy restaurant, although I spent a lot of time together every day, the number of times I had to talk to my brother was obviously much less.
I care less about Hu Zi and Old Gao.
Hu Zi smiled bitterly and drank a glass of wine. "What do you want me to say?" I said everything I had to say. I admit my mistake. It had nothing to do with the two of them. I don't want to do that either, but... Yes, paper can't contain fire."
"Maybe it has nothing to do with them? What did you do to both of them? Do you think that's enough? It's over?" Old Gao did not seem to like Hu Zi's understatement, and his tone of dissatisfaction became more intense.
Hu Zi shook his head and said helplessly, "What else can we do now that things are like this?"
"What did you do back then?" Old Gao looked at me again and said, "Xing Yun, say something! Do you know about this? What's the matter with your silence?"
I only know half!
I took a deep breath, looked at Hu Zi and asked, "When did you and Xiaolian start?"
"I forgot." Hu Zi spat out the cigarette from his mouth and connected it to another one. He lay back and frowned, "It's been a while."
"What about you and Xiaoyi? What happened to you two? Aren't you guys fine?" I asked again.
Hu Zi shook his head again and said, "That's it."
Hu Zi concluded a relationship with' that's it' as if it was nothing to him.
I sat up straight and looked a little embarrassed. I sighed and then said to him, "What about you and Xiaolian?"
"That's it."
Hu Zi took a puff, squinting his eyes in the smoke and casually flicking the ashes to the ground.
Old Gao interjected, "Just like Xiaoyi said, why don't you break up with Xiaoyi and talk to lotus again, then nothing will happen?"
Old Gao also took a puff of his cigarette, seemingly disagreeing with Hu Zi.
Hu Zi smiled faintly and looked at Old Gao, "Weren't you crazier than I was before?"
Obviously, Hu Zi was talking about Old Gao's previous affair with the moon and the wind. Old Gao was indeed a flirt back then, and his girlfriend changed very quickly. Sometimes, before we could remember the name of the previous girlfriend, he changed again.
"Didn't you see what happened to me?" As soon as Hu Zi's words fell, Old Gao said excitedly.
"What happened?" Hu Zi asked.
Old Gao became even angrier and said, "Needless to say, don't you think what happened to me is retribution?"
Hu Zi didn't answer, but Old Gao took a sip of the wine.
"Now that you've hurt someone else's feelings, sooner or later, you'll be hurt yourself!" Old Gao sighed.
Hu Zi's mouth was deeply bitter. He spread his hands and smiled, "What else can I get hurt?"
Of course Old Gao and I knew what Hu Zi was referring to. Li Xiaowei and the blond thing was a pain Hu Zi hadn't forgotten. He was really hurt.
"But you can't hurt someone just because they hurt you?"
"That's because you've never tasted betrayal before!"
Before Old Gao could finish his sentence, Hu Zi suddenly burst into a roar!
It was as if he had roared out the breath he had been holding in his heart, his voice as bright as a bell. After yelling, Hu Zi's face turned red and blue veins wriggled under his skin like worms.
His eyes sparkled with a blazing light!
Then, he raised his head and gulped down all the wine in his glass.
"What the hell is love? What the hell is true love? You guys tell me? Is there pure love in this world? Is there? Is there anyone who would never leave you when you were poor and useless?" Hu Zi yelled again at the top of his lungs, "What was my relationship with Li Xiaowei for years? I can't even remember what he looked like. Six or seven years? Grass! I bought a car and a house, so I should feel at ease, right? However, she still slept in someone else's bed! Because that person is richer than me! Have we had a deep relationship for so many years? But can it be thicker than rmb? How many yuan can a relationship worth all these years? If it's worth it, then add more! Added to Li Xiaowei's willingness to get into someone else's bed! It's that simple! In the face of reality, what is love?"
Hu Zi screamed with almost every ounce of his life, his voice filled with a heart-wrenching pain!
At the end of the call, Hu Zi's face was a little ferocious. He was gasping for air, his expression unspeakable pain.
I looked at Hu Zi, mixed, and then I picked up the glass and took a big drink.
It suddenly occurred to me that ever since Hu Zi and li xiaowei opened up, it seemed that he had never exploded like this before.
At that time, Hu Zi was only drunk once. When he woke up, he didn't even shed a tear and hid all his sorrow in his heart. Today, he finally broke out.
It was precisely because of Li Xiaowei's betrayal that Hu Zi's view of love became so extreme that there was the tragedy of xiaoyi and Xiaolian.
I heaved a deep sigh in my heart. At this moment, I really didn't know how to persuade Hu Zi. He was so lost that I felt weak trying to pull him.
Time continued to flow, smoke continued to float, and the three of us continued to be silent...
After a long time, Old Gao said, "Hu Zi, we know. We understand what you're saying! But Li Xiaowei is Li Xiaowei, yi and Xiaolian are not her. You can't look at everyone with such extreme eyes. I know you're not that kind of person, or else you wouldn't be so serious today. Hu Zi, what exactly are your feelings for xiaoyi and Xiaolian?"
Hu Zi's mouth was full of confusion and he shook his head slowly.
"Do you like Xiaoyi or Xiaolian?" Old Gao frowned and asked again.
I sighed, feeling that Old Gao's question was meaningless now. With the situation today, xiaoyi and Xiaolian were tied in a knot, and it was impossible for Hu Zi to save it.
"Can't you like both?" Hu Zi smiled and replied.
"No! You have to choose one."
"I don't know how to choose."
Hu Zi leaned back. He lit a cigarette and purposely drowned himself in the smoke. After exhaling the cigarette, he said, "Actually, they're both fine, but I don't think I'm in love with them. Whether it's Xiaoyi or Xiaolian... It's possible that I've been hurt too much. I'll never be as good to other girls as I was to Li Xiaowei, so I... Blame me, whatever. I don't care."
"In the future, you two can forget about my relationship. After what happened, my view of love has been distorted." After that, Hu Zi took another puff of smoke and exhaled deeply.
"But..."
"Hu Zi..."
"Stop it."
Hu Zi interrupted me and Old Gao. He smiled at us and said, "Okay, it's getting late. Come back."
After saying this, Hu Zi stood up and did not say anything to the two of us. He walked to the door, opened the shutter, looked out at the night before walking out of the restaurant.
