Can't help feeling for you: can't live without you

Chapter 15: Unforgettable (2)
Because I arrived late, the vacant seats were all in the first few rows, and there was no familiar face sitting beside me.Qi Dandan didn't come either, and Dong Zhiwei had already received many messages from her on the way over, saying that she was going on a date, and asked her to write down all her notes, and she would borrow her notes to make copies later.

Qi Dandan has a new boyfriend recently, and he is having a hot fight, and he misses class once and for all, and he has missed so many times.Last week's class came anyway, but she was still restless, she couldn't sit still when she was in class, she kept saying that the man was waiting outside the school gate, how boring it was to sit in the car alone, she should leave early.

Dong Zhiwei couldn't help laughing at her in a low voice, "Is it so inseparable?"

Qi Dandan stretched out his hand to compare the numbers on the spot, "26, my sister, my sister is 26, the pressure is high, it is not easy to find a man, you have to keep an eye on it, lest the bamboo basket fetch water in vain."

The movement was so loud that the teachers on the stage looked over from a distance, and said to them with a microphone, "That classmate, answer the question just now, yes, it's you, the one who raised your hands."

Even Dong Zhiwei was noticed, so embarrassed that he didn't dare to raise his face.

The same teacher was in class today. It seems that Qi Dandan was very impressed with her. After she entered the classroom and sat down, the teacher came over and asked her, "Why are you alone? Your friend who raised his hand Didn't come?"

Dong Zhiwei was embarrassed again, and didn't know how to answer, so he smiled at him.

When she finally calmed down and memorized most of the main points, the phone in her bag rang again, attracting countless looks for her again.

She came in in a hurry before, coupled with restlessness, she forgot to switch her mobile phone to silent mode, it was rare to make such a low-level mistake, Dong Zhiwei apologized in a low voice while looking for the phone.

The teacher on the stage turned his gaze around again, and joked again, "This classmate is very emotional. He thinks the atmosphere in our classroom is too monotonous, so he brought me some background music."

There was a burst of laughter in the classroom, but Dong Zhiwei blushed in the laughter. He touched the phone with his hand and pressed the ringtone first before looking. It turned out to be He Weiwen.

She sighed a long time in her heart, immediately turned the phone to silent, turned it upside down and put it on the table, and didn't look at it again.

After finally making it to the recess, she went out and returned a call.

He Weiwen was connected as soon as the bell rang, and before she could speak, He Weiwen apologized several times, saying that he just wanted to chat with her suddenly, and for a moment he forgot that she had class tonight.

Dong Zhiwei answered briefly and was about to hang up, but He Weiwen called her from the other end, "Zhiwei, wait a minute."

"What's wrong?" She asked in a low voice with a sharp pain in her throat.

He paused for a moment, and then he seemed to muster up his courage, "What time do you finish class? In the evening, how about going to have something to eat together in the evening? I know a porridge shop, which is delicious and not expensive. It's near your school , or I'll come pick you up in a while."

"Thank you, but no need, I have to go to work tomorrow, I want to rest early." She politely but resolutely rejected him, and he let out an "oh" in disappointment, and his voice was drawn out.

After hanging up the phone, Dong Zhiwei coughed out the cough that was suffocating in his throat, and then stood alone in the wind for a long time, thinking in his heart, why this day is not over yet, it is too long.

The class ended at [-]:[-], and Dong Zhiwei rushed the subway home. The subway was still full of people at night. She stood at the door and leaned her back on the cold railing to relieve her fatigue a little.

It was already past 09:30 when Dong Zhiwei walked into his alley. There were no street lights in the narrow alley. Fortunately, most of the people were still awake. The dim light and the faint sound of the TV came out from the narrow windows on both sides. , adding a lot of vitality to the dark night.

Of course, Dong Zhiwei is not afraid of walking the usual path every day, but thinking that she can finally go home, her steps can’t help but get bigger and bigger. No one walks around the alley, and the sound of her heels trampling on the ground becomes very loud. Clearly, "giggle" to go far away.

"Zhiwei."

Dong Zhiwei was startled by the sudden appearance of a black shadow, and took a step back before standing still, the hair on his back stood upside down, and his whole body froze.

"Who?"

"Don't be afraid, it's me." The familiar voice sounded again, the black figure had already walked in front of her, and the blurred light from the narrow windows on both sides shone on him, allowing Dong Zhiwei to finally see his face clearly .

She opened her mouth, and the sharp pain in her throat was still there, reminding her that this was not a dream.

She opened her mouth to speak, the previous fright had passed, her voice was hoarse, but very calm.

She said, "Mr. Wen, why are you?"

Wen Bailiang had been waiting for Dong Zhiwei in this dark alley for a long time, and he used to send her home. At that time, neither of them had much money, but every time he walked in, he would feel that she had a hard life, and she was often in these complicated places. He embraced her in the small alley and said, "In a while, I will buy a big house, no, let's buy a villa. The land for a villa is less approved, and it is more valuable than an apartment. You and I can live comfortably together."

He used to say things like that to her then.

Wen Bailiang still vaguely remembers how he was back then. He used to be so full of ambition, with the world in mind, as if everything was within reach, especially when he turned around and saw her smiling face.

Zhiwei looks plain, and her smile is as calm as water. It may not be so eye-catching at first glance, but once you get used to it, you can't take your eyes off it.

How ridiculous, so full of ambition, so minded about the world, in a blink of an eye, reality gave him a heavy stick, hitting him so badly that his nose was blue and his eyes were swollen, and he couldn't even turn over.

But today he came back to this place again, he walked in alone, the car was parked far away, the roads in the old city were complicated, but everything was exactly as he remembered, he remembered every path to her house , Every corner, he even remembered her footsteps, the moment he walked in front of her, the two years of separation seemed to be just a blink of an eye, he was here, she was here, nothing seemed to have changed.

He faced her, the familiar face in his memory made him suddenly in a trance.

But Dong Zhiwei's voice sounded immediately, slightly hoarse.

He thought she would call him Bai Liang like in the past, but she was talking about Mr. Wen, why you?The tone was calm, as if he was just a stranger.

Dong Zhiwei never expected that he could face Wen Bailiang with such a calm attitude.

It is true that after the two broke up, she had said to herself more than once that the past is the past, every second of marriage is worth tens of millions, and he has not signed a contract of sale with her, why? Can't choose another person.

But no matter how clearly I think about it, my heart always hurts. I gritted my teeth tightly when I dreamed back at midnight, and kept asking why.

So sad, but every time I wake up in the morning, I can answer myself.

Why else?The reality is so clear that what he needs is not her.

After leaving Wen Bailiang, Dong Zhiwei finally understood a truth - the basis for anyone to get along is to need each other.

Wen Bailiang once needed her, but she was no longer able to satisfy him. He needed a strong person to lead him out of the mud, but she couldn't do it.

For two years, she had never tried to make any contact with him, nor did Wen Bailiang, because they were so unbearable when they separated, they were unwilling to even recall, let alone meet again.

But all the unexpected happened on this day. Dong Zhiwei didn't expect that Xia Ziqi would suddenly mention Wen Bailiang to her on the phone, let alone that Wen Bailiang would wait at her door at night.

Seeing him again made her heart beat wildly, and her chest was pounding, but she heard her own voice, hoarse and calm, before he could answer, she added another sentence.

"What's the matter with you?"

Wen Bailiang has recovered from the shock just now. Of course, he never thought that Dong Zhiwei would treat him like he did in the past. Judging from the situation when they broke up two years ago, it's good that she didn't turn a blind eye to him. As for Just now, he was in a trance for a moment.

"Zhiwei, do you have time? I want to talk to you."

She glanced at her watch, then looked up at him again.

I haven't seen each other for two years. Wen Bailiang has always been a man who pays attention to his appearance, even in his most difficult times. He always wears suits and leather shoes. These two years are different. Even in such dim light, he can Let her feel that his whole body is expensive.

"It's too late now, I have to go to work tomorrow." She answered him, and then she was ready to move on.

He seemed to guess what she was going to do, took a step to block her way, and said, "I know you don't want to talk to me."

She almost asked him back, "Then why are you still standing here", but she held back, and then stood up again, thinking about it before speaking, "Do you want to tell me about you and Cheng Fang?"

He was determined by her, but nodded quickly.

He has always known that Zhiwei is a smart woman.

"Since you already know, are you still staying in Chengfang? Are you still working for Yuan Jingrui?"

Dong Zhiwei was startled.

She didn't know the whole story, but Xia Ziqi's question couldn't be a joke, and Wen Bailiang's sudden appearance confirmed her guess even more.

Sure enough, something happened between Wen Bailiang, Cheng Fang and Yuan Jingrui, and it was not a pleasant thing.

She looked at him again in the dark alley, and wanted to ask him what was going on, but hesitated.

She didn't want to pretend that this matter was related to her, but if not, why did he come to warn her?

Thinking this way, she kept a little distance from him and remained silent.

The faint light shone on Dong Zhiwei's face, mixed with the white light of the winter moon above his head, 25 was still a young age, he looked at the pale light reflected on her skin, and thought of Dai Ailin's slightly slack under the foundation. skin.

If only he had a choice...

"Zhiwei, I know you have had a hard time these two years, I just want to..."

"What do you want to do?" Following the throat, Dong Zhiwei's head also started to hurt, "Come save me? I've let you down. I'm doing fine now."

"If Yuan Jingrui knew about your relationship with me, he would not tolerate you."

"I have nothing to do with you." She frowned and reminded him, "What did you do to Mr. Yuan?"

He also frowned, Dong Zhiwei's completely different attitude from the past made him uncomfortable, "Zhiwei, don't get thorns all over your body, I know I made you sad two years ago, and I'm sorry too, if it wasn't like this, I And why did I come here specifically to inform you, I don't want you to be involved in too complicated a situation, and I don't want you to be hurt, you know?"

She was speechless, wondering how he could speak these words so fluently.

Then she heard a very light but very clear "ding" sound, someone walked over silently, already behind them, his face was illuminated by the flame of the lighter, he raised his eyes to see the two people who turned back together At a glance, a face with a sharp outline in the night.

It was Yuan Jingrui, seeing them turning their heads, he bowed and said softly, "I'm sorry to interrupt your conversation."

Dong Zhiwei has lived in this alley for more than 20 years. If this scene did not happen to her, she would definitely think that there must be a complicated triangular or even multi-angular relationship between these three people, and no matter how peaceful this moment is, it will follow. What will come is a collision of various emotions and even a physical conflict.

But the fact is that the three people standing in the narrow alley responded in the best and most socially acceptable way for adults. Wen Bailiang even nodded to Yuan Jingrui and said, "Mr. Yuan, do you still remember me?" ? We met at the annual business meeting." Yuan Jingrui came over and smiled at him, and replied, "Really?"

This conversation made Dong Zhiwei step back and pretend that she didn't exist. Whether it was asking her to introduce Wen Bailiang to Yuan Jingrui, or to introduce Yuan Jingrui to Wen Bailiang, it was a matter of increasing her pressure.

Wen Bailiang left immediately, and when he said goodbye, his eyes lingered on Dong Zhiwei's face for a while, which was very meaningful.

What does this look mean?The mentality that no one else can pick up what I throw away is clear at a glance.What's more, Yuan Jingrui didn't "pick up" her. She knew better than anyone else that Yuan Jingrui's appearance at this time must be because of what Xia Ziqi said to him. What surprised her was that he was unwilling to wait even one night. Came here again with dignity.

Before Wen Bailiang looked back, she looked back at him, as if looking at a stranger.

She finally realized why some people would say that after breaking up, they must see each other for the rest of their lives, otherwise there would be a lot of disappointment. She no longer recognized Wen Bailiang now, he no longer had the confidence and innocence she was familiar with. Become gloomy and aggressive, with suspicion and distrust of everything around him hidden in his eyes.

Even she finds it inconceivable that he would come to her like this and specifically warn her to leave Yuan Jingrui.

Wen Bailiang's back disappeared at the entrance of the alley, leaving Dong Zhiwei and Yuan Jingrui standing in place, neither of them spoke for a while.The silence was frozen in the darkness, only the cigarette in Yuan Jingrui's hand was still burning, a dark red light.

"Secretary Dong." Yuan Jingrui said suddenly, "You look at me like this, do you have something to say?"

Dong Zhiwei was startled, only to realize that he had been staring at his boss for an unknown amount of time.

She couldn't hide what was supposed to come, she took a breath, calmed down, and answered Yuan Jingrui in a hoarse voice.

"Mr. Yuan, why are you here so late?"

He looked up and saw that the alley was narrow, and there was only a long strip of sky above it. On the first day of the lunar new year, he could only see half a waning moon when he looked up. Under his feet were the long and uneven alley roads that had been in disrepair, and the doors on both sides opened and closed from time to time. With the night returners who occasionally pass by.He is very familiar with this kind of place, so familiar that he can find the right direction even with his eyes closed. When he walked in just now, he was almost in a trance for a moment and went back to a long time ago, when he and Yin Feng were still young. They often walk into the unknown depths in the dark, and they don't know what is facing them in front of them.

He drove here after Xia Ziqi left, and when he stopped and slowed down, he already had the idea of ​​turning around and leaving. Even if this matter was related to Dong Zhiwei, he didn't need to ask her for confirmation in such a hurry, the best way It is to stand still and wait to see how she reacts before making a judgment.

He has always thought more than others in doing things, otherwise he would not be today, but what he did today surprised himself.

While thinking like this, he still got out of the car, walked two more steps into the alley, then hesitated again, and asked himself if it was really necessary, but at this moment, he heard Dong Zhiwei's voice.

His hearing has always been very good. Although the voice of their conversation is low, it can be heard very well. After walking a few steps, they can hear clearly.
