Autumn day, weekend.
The afternoon of Fountain Square is very lively.
On a rare day off, everyone is happy to come out for a stroll.
At this time the sun is just right, and many pedestrians choose to take a walk in the square and blow their hair. Parents who bring their children out to play, and couples who are dating will pass by or stop at this square, which is right next to the bustling commercial street.
There are smart peddlers selling toys here, or circling a venue to rent out skates for people to play with. From time to time, children ran across with a balloon and laughed, and their short legs were too fast for their parents to catch up.
Next to the relatively quiet large fountain, Lin Lan was there. At this time, he was crouching and feeding the ham sausage in his hand to the stray cat that he just saw.
She wore a low ponytail, and an off-white windbreaker made her look very quiet. At this time, Qiao's face was smiling as she watched the kitten chewing on the food, tearing the intestine from time to time. Feed them in the past.
"Lan Lan!"
It did n’t take long for a young man to wave towards her from the street and trot towards her, a little anxious as he walked.
Lin Lan didn't get up immediately when she heard this familiar call, but continued to feed the cat slowly, shredding the last chicken nugget in her hand and throwing it to the kitten. She then wiped it slowly with a wet wipe With the oil stains on his fingertips, he slowly stood up and turned to look at the young man who had come, with a smile on his face.
"Yes, Shao Xiuye, asked me to come over voluntarily, but made me stand here and wait for you for more than an hour." She raised her eyebrows and raised her tone, "You are fine."
"No, no, no, no!" The young man named Shao Xiuye shook his head hurriedly, very eager to survive. "There was a small situation at the time of departure. There was a delay. There was an urgent matter at the company. Hurry up over here! I also texted to report to you before, Lan Lan, who am I, do you still not know, I have never been late when I was with you! "
Lin Lan did not speak, she just looked up and down her boyfriend who had not met for a while. Shao Xiuye had a handsome face last week. His facial features were sharp and well-proportioned. When he took the initiative to pursue her two years ago, Lin Lan was also envied by many women.
Half a year ago, he moved away from the city where the two worked and lived together due to job changes, and went to work in the city where the company's headquarters is located. The two had to separate. Now they have been in a long-distance relationship for half a year.
At this moment, the man in front of him was in a well-made suit, his shoes were polished, his hair was treated with a disrespectful look, but Lin Lan's impression was a bit rusty.
"Here, this is what I wear when I go to work." Seeing her eyes continue to patrol, Shao Xiuye hurriedly said, "Before the company suddenly had an urgent matter to deal with, Lan Lan, I couldn't help it. I didn't intentionally wear it like this to you Meet. "
"What are you panicking about?" Lin Lan ticked her lips. "I just wanted to say that your dress at work was handsome. There must be many girls who like it?"
Shao Xiuye suddenly smiled awkwardly: "Lan Lan, what are you talking about." It seemed like he was eager to change the subject. He took a step forward to hold Lin Lan's hand and walked forward. "Come on, wait so long for your stomach Are you hungry? I'll take you to the old place and go to the restaurant. "
Both of them are working class. Even if they are dating, they can't afford any high-end restaurants. The old place that Shao Xiuye said is just a good cheap hot pot restaurant with a per capita consumption of no more than 90 yuan.
In the past, Lin Lan always had a satisfying face when he went there. When he was held in such a way, Le Dingding would follow him, but now, Shao Xiuye was thrown away by her as soon as she caught it.
"Shao Xiuye, you told me in a text message last month that you were promoted for a salary increase. We rarely meet each time, and every time I take the initiative to come to you, do you intend to always invite me to eat this? "
As soon as she heard her girlfriend's tone, she knew that her breath hadn't disappeared, and the man awkwardly withdrew his false grasp: "Lan Lan, you are right, you shouldn't go there. Then, I invite you to eat Western food!"
The two crossed the square and went to the pedestrian street inside. They sat down in a Western restaurant that used to only look outside and did not dare to go when they were passing by. The wait staff took a beautiful menu politely after they sat down ask.
"We ..." Shao Xiuye didn't finish, and the menu he had just received from the waitress was taken away by Lin Lan.
"I want this, this, this ... and this." The woman's white fingers passed the various expensive steaks, caviar, and soup desserts on the menu, and finally added a bottle of four-digit numbers. For the red wine, watching the well-trained shop assistant finish the order shorthand, smiled and returned the menu back, "That's all for now, please trouble you."
Sitting on the opposite side, Shao Xiuye looked at his girlfriend and said that he would have lost thousands of words. His face was pale for a while. He subconsciously opened his mouth to meet his girlfriend's smiling eyes: "Why? This hurts? You did n’t care about your salary when you stole a pair of 8,000 AJs.
"That's ...!" The man just wanted to refute but he was stuck instantly, and quickly bowed his head to admit, "Lan Lan, I was wrong. I didn't discuss this with you, it was my fault."
"It seems that you still remember that we said that we should work hard to save money to get married and buy a house." The waitress had taken the menu away with great eyes, but Lin Lan didn't let him go, "I thought you moved because After the new city, the environment has changed and even the heart has become wild. "
The man on the opposite side is no longer talking, perhaps because of his own fault, or perhaps because of his aggressive girlfriend, the romantic and elegant couple's meal has become silent, and even the violin music in the restaurant has not been relieved.
The dishes were served quickly, and the waiters swiftly put the exquisite dishes on the table in sequence, and then tucked the four-figure bottle of red wine into the pair of men and women.
The transparent glass stained with burgundy also reflected the pair of men and women on the dining table. One bowed his head silently, and the other held a knife and fork with a heartless meal.
Shao Xiuye looked at Lin Lan, who was cutting the steak elegantly and eating very elegantly, and frowned unconsciously. His impression was that he was living in a cheap rental house and used to food stalls like him. 2. The most free means of transportation is a small e-donkey that was ruthlessly bought from the second-hand market. The girlfriend who was smiling happily while sitting behind is now very familiar with high-end Western food, which also makes him feel rusty.
Looking at his girlfriend's youthful face, a speculation that made him irritated came to mind.
"What are you thinking about?" The other person suddenly looked up at him, but she unknowingly ran out of her meal. "It's a rare meal but absent-minded. Is there anything to tell me?"
In a word, Shao Xiuye calmed down again. He had originally felt guilty, but the sudden thoughts before him left him behind.
"It's nothing." He looked at his girlfriend opposite him. "In fact, I just wanted to ask you if I'm not used to it in the past six months without me. To be honest, when I came to this new place, it was really everywhere. When I hit the wall, I was always in a hurry to stand my heels. It seems that even you have been left out a lot. Lan Lan, I'm really sorry. "
Listening to the other person ’s apology, Lin Lan ’s mouth twitched strangely:
Do n’t say that, Ah Ye, it ’s normal for you to go to a new place to develop, and you do n’t have time to contact me. It ’s normal for me to blame you. Hard work, you do n’t have to say sorry to me. And, I ’m not used to it without you.
Shao Xiuye's guilty heart that had risen again was broken by Lin Lan's heartless and last sentence. The other party didn't stop here, but carelessly picked up the napkin and wiped his mouth.
"Why? Suddenly complain to me about this, do you want to break up with me?"
With a joke-like tone, his girlfriend suddenly poked at Shao Xiuye's plan.
"... Yes, it's too hard to love in a different place." He dropped his knife and fork, took a deep breath, and looked up at his girlfriend as if determined, "Lan Lan, let's ... break up."
As soon as the last three words came out, Lin Lan was wiping her mouth with a square scarf.
Upon seeing this, Shao Xiuye suddenly burst into the heart and quickly explained: "I know this decision will hurt you a lot, but I'm sorry, Lan Lan, I really have no confidence in maintaining this relationship ..."
"Then break up."
The calm and firm response interrupted Shao Xiuye's preparation of the abdomen for a long time. He stared at the opposite, and his girlfriend was throwing the napkin back on the table.
"It just happens that I don't think it's necessary to continue this kind of long-distance relationship like a post-it. Every time, in order to accommodate you, a girl is taking the initiative to come to you by car, you never said to find me again. Shao Xiu Ye, how do you say you are so embarrassed? "
There is no disbelief, no crying and entanglement, and no hysterics. The woman's performance is very calm, so calm that it can in turn count the other's various things.
This embarrassed the man who should have been relieved for a smooth breakup, but he was a little bit embarrassed and angry.
Thinking of the way women are used to high-class Western food, the idea of just guessing made him more affirmed by the anger at this time.
Just about to ask a question, the woman who had become her ex-girlfriend glanced at random, and pointed to the high-end suit on his body: "Yes, I wanted to ask before, your suit seems to be customized by hand, The price is not cheap, is your company so good for every employee in it? "
Her voice was gentle, but it seemed that a pot of cold water poured out Shao Xiuye's anger.
Shao Xiuye did not dare to make trouble again, and even did not dare to say any more off-topics. She turned her head slightly embarrassed and embarrassed: "Since you are full, let's go."
Lin Lan nodded recklessly and got up to leave the seat. Both seemed to want to maintain their final decentness. Even when the man checked out, the woman waited aside, as if the weird breakup at the table did not exist.
But it is destined to be an illusion.
After leaving the restaurant and going outside again, Shao Xiuye's face was completely sunk.
"Lin Lan." He called to his ex-girlfriend who was going to leave. Although he was in a cheap clothes, he could not hide his facial features. The slim appearance when he looked back made him unable to hold back. "We have been separated for half a year. , Did you find me on your back ... "
He didn't finish his words, and suddenly two whistle of the car rang behind him, and a fiery red Bentley stopped slowly in front of them.
The magnificent and gorgeous sports car, like the owner who just walked down, is beautiful and eye-catching.
"Shao Xiuye!" Bai Fumi, who came down from the driver's seat, approached her chin and walked out of the arrogance that anyone could see through at a glance, "I said why you have been absent in the company before, and also made excuses Run out, it turned out to be for this woman! "
The man's face changed when she saw her: "Miss Jiang, why are you here?"
"You came from the company car to date, how could I not know?" The rich family called Miss Jiang Qianjin Zhao snorted and ignored it, then glanced at Lin Lan with a more critical eye, first uncomfortably After scanning her face, she smiled again after seeing the other person in cheap clothes. "This is what you were looking for? The shabby look really suits you, why, or are you still reluctant?"
In the face of the arrogant man of the rich family Qianjin who crushed his rivals with contempt, Lin Lan was not angry and even looked at his forward boyfriend with all his leisure: "Your new love? It seems that it is quite early to carry my hook. Rich It ’s great. "
In a word, the arrogant face on the opposite side suddenly cracked and turned angry.
Bentley luxury cars, two beauties and a handsome guy, talking such a contentious conversation on the streets of people, unconsciously attracted many passers-by to stop and watch.
Shao Xiuye, who was surrounded by many eyes, only felt that her whole body was grilled on the fire. She stepped forward and wanted to coax Miss Jiang: "I have broken up with her, and I will go back now."
His pleading was directly pushed aside by Miss Jiang without looking back. The rich woman raised her fierce long eyebrows and smiled wildly toward Lin Lan with a frost on her face: "Yes, there is money That ’s good. I know you. I also heard that you and Aye planned to save a piece of money before going apart, planning to buy a house in Modu for marriage? Very hard? Just do n’t know how to save money. I do n’t know if I have enough one-tenth of the down payment? But I do n’t have this trouble. There are several properties in my house, and I can give Ah Ye a set of things with his mouth, which can make him struggle for less than a lifetime. "
"Miss Jiang said yes." In the face of such blatant ridicule, Lin Lan's face did not change color. "In order to be able to fight less for half a life, he is not surprised to switch to you. It is true that the poor and the rich have come from ancient times. Let ’s do it. Now that men and women are equal, it ’s natural for him to do so. So I do n’t blame him, he will leave it to you to take care of it in the future.
This remark led some onlookers to laugh outright. It turned out that the equality between men and women and the human nature can still be used in this way. For Shao Xiuye, this scene has been completely humiliated.
"Enough!" He stared at Lin Lan intolerably, reaching for her. "What are you qualified to say to me! Yes, I'm sorry for you! But aren't you the same too! During these half a year, you dare to say you Did not betray me? "
Before in the restaurant, she was not frightened at all, and the posture of eating more advanced Western food than he can be vividly remembered, which means that nothing needs to be said!
There was a lot of discussion at the scene. It seemed that the melons were getting bigger and bigger, and many people were reluctant to leave.
In the face of Shao Xiuye's counter-accusation, Lin Lan just smiled and drove gently: "It's not early, I should go, my car is here to pick me up."
car?
Everyone was stunned by her words. At this time, they heard two whistle sounds from the side of the street. The people subconsciously looked around and saw that a Rolls-Royce phantom stopped slowly behind Bentley.
The generous body is graceful, and the silver-gray paint shines. The iconic little gold man in the front of the car stands above the double R logo with a luxurious atmosphere, and the frontal Bentley is bluntly compared to a little maid.
After the vehicle stopped, a middle-aged driver in a decent suit came out of it and opened the door of the rear seat.
A blond and beautiful man wearing gold wire glasses got out of the car. He was carrying a briefcase in a black suit, as if an overseas elite appeared only on TV. He walked here with long legs and walked slowly. Young passers-by exclaimed secretly.
At this time, the overseas elite stopped in front of Lin Lan and saluted her respectfully: "Miss, I'll pick you up to return home."
