Rebirth of Bloody Romance

When Li Yongjun got married last year, Zhong Yuemin knew about it. He even went there to give a gift money. Zhong Yuemin had also met that girl. She was as quiet and gentle as her name, very kind and sensible.

Why did they suddenly get divorced? Was it because of personality incompatibility? Or was there another reason? Zhong Yuemin couldn't figure it out.

Moreover, the two were in a free love relationship and their relationship was very good. At that time, Lin Shufang even said that the two were so clingy that they had no shame.

However, time flies, and when the autumn wind blows again this year, the news of their divorce comes, like a bolt from the blue, shaking Zhong Yuemin's heart. He recalls the days when they walked side by side, every scene is warm and beautiful, and can't help but sigh: "Things in the world are impermanent, and love is deep but fate is shallow."

"Last year the branches were in full bloom, but now we are separated and sad." Zhong Yuemin said silently in his heart, expressing his regret for his friend's marriage and his deep understanding of the impermanence of life.

Li Yongjun's figure seemed particularly lonely. He smiled bitterly, and his words were filled with self-mockery and helplessness. "Didn't expect my life to come to this point? Even I didn't expect it. It was as if fate was playing a joke on me. What sin did I commit in my previous life?" After saying that, he raised his glass again, trying to numb the pain in his heart with alcohol.

Seeing this, Zhong Yuemin's eyes were full of concern and determination. He decisively snatched Li Yongjun's glass, and his tone was full of unquestionable strength. "Yongjun, it's not a good idea for you to drink like this. I know you are suffering, but drinking to forget your sorrow will only make you more sorrowful. The last time I saw Liu Minghua, he mentioned that your wife was pregnant. This should have been a happy event. Why did you suddenly go your separate ways?"

Li Yongjun's eyes flashed with a hint of complexity. He gently pushed Zhong Yuemin's hand away and refilled the glass with a wry smile that showed some determination. "Zhong Laoer, you know me well. This little bit of wine is nothing to me. What I'm afraid of is not getting drunk. When I'm sober and facing the mess on the ground, I have nowhere to tell and no one can understand. Do you know? This feeling is like drifting alone in the vast ocean, surrounded by darkness."

Zhong Yuemin felt mixed emotions when he heard this. He sat down slowly and patted Li Yongjun on the shoulder. "Yongjun, you are wrong. You are never alone. You still have classmates like us. Besides, no matter how the world treats you, there is always a sky that belongs to you and there is always warmth waiting for you."

"Zhong Yuemin, I have always known that you can understand me. Your way of thinking is always so unique and different from others." Li Yongjun's words were a little drunken, but every word was extremely sincere, as if they were taken out from the bottom of his heart.

Hearing this, Zhong Yuemin raised a faint smile and responded jokingly, "What's the difference between me and others? Don't we all have two eyes, a mouth, and a head on two shoulders?" However, his tone revealed a kind of casual confidence, as if he didn't care what others thought of him.

Li Yongjun shook his head, his eyes flashing with seriousness. He said firmly, "Zhong Laoer, stop pretending between us. You seem easygoing every day, but in fact, you are arrogant in your bones, like a spectator who is detached from the secular world, quietly observing the world and looking down on all kinds of people."

Zhong Yuemin couldn't help laughing when he heard this. He felt that Li Yongjun's description was a bit exaggerated, so he teased, "You really know how to flatter me! You look down on me. I'm not God, how can I have such great ability?" His laughter revealed a self-deprecating tone, as if he didn't take the praise too seriously.

However, Li Yongjun was not affected by Zhong Yuemin's joke. He continued to say seriously, "I am telling the truth. You are that kind of person. You always look at everything with a detached attitude, never follow the crowd, and have your own independent thinking and judgment. This is why I am willing to talk to you." His eyes were firm and sincere, making people feel his admiration for Zhong Yuemin.

"I find your words a little unbelievable. Others all say that I am not ambitious and are disappointed with me, but I didn't expect you to be different."

Li Yongjun listened to Zhong Yuemin's words, smiled bitterly and shook his head. "If we were not classmates, I would not even be qualified to talk to you. The alienation you inadvertently revealed is daunting. But today, I still want to say thank you to you, thank you for listening to my voice."

Zhong Yuemin looked at Li Yongjun's bitter face and felt a little uncomfortable. After all, he had just gotten married, but he was carrying the reputation of divorce, which was not a good thing for anyone. In this case, let's just drink together, so he raised his glass and said generously, "Okay, come on, let's have another drink."

Zhong Yuemin was not very good at comforting people, so he decided to get Li Yongjun drunk and send him home to rest. This would avoid embarrassment and allow Li Yongjun to relax and get some relief.

But Li Yongjun's voice echoed in the box, carrying with it endless anger and confusion. "She's been pregnant for more than three months! Yuemin, did you know? Liu Wenjing actually went to the hospital to have an abortion without permission? She actually aborted our child without telling me in order to go abroad! How could she be so cruel?" His fists were clenched tightly, veins bulging, and it was obvious that he was experiencing tremendous pain and struggle in his heart.

"Go abroad, go abroad, why does everyone want to go abroad? Is there no room for them here?" Li Yongjun's questioning was full of helplessness and sadness, as if it was an accusation against this era.

The movement outside the box attracted their attention, and someone curiously peeked through the crack in the door to see what was going on inside.

Li Yongjun yelled angrily. "What are you looking at? What's so good about it! Are you all too bored?" Li Yongjun's voice was filled with anger as he tried to drive away those prying eyes.

Seeing this, Zhong Yuemin quickly stood up and prepared to close the door, while apologizing to the people outside. "I'm sorry, I drank too much, please forgive me." He tried to resolve this unnecessary conflict in a peaceful way.

However, a tall man outside the door refused to give up. He pushed the door hard to prevent Zhong Yuemin from closing it easily, cursing, "You're so fucking arrogant!" His words were full of provocation and disdain.

Then he pointed at Zhong Yuemin and said arrogantly, "Who the hell do you think you are? How dare you control me?"

Zhong Yuemin's patience was completely worn out. His eyes turned cold, and he suddenly swung a big toss over, hitting the tall man directly in the face. "Fuck you, I'm giving you face, right?"

Zhong Yuemin's action was swift and decisive. The slap was particularly loud in the small space, instantly breaking the tense atmosphere. The tall man obviously did not expect Zhong Yuemin to suddenly attack him. He stood there in a daze, his face livid.

"You...you...you actually dare to hit me?" The tall man pointed at Zhong Yuemin and couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time. The people around him were attracted by this sudden change and cast curious glances at him.

Zhong Yuemin threw another big ass at him without saying anything. "You idiot, you are showing off in front of me. When I was in the old city, you were still wearing open-crotch pants!"

Seeing this, Li Yongjun was still furious, but he also realized that the matter might get out of hand, so he quickly grabbed Zhong Yuemin and whispered, "Yuemin, forget it, forget it, don't make a big deal out of it."

The tall man had a look of anger on his face and was about to open his mouth to continue provoking, but was suddenly grabbed by the restaurant owner Fatty Li.

Fatty Li had a big smile on his face, his eyes revealing a bit of anxiety. He grabbed the tall man's arm tightly and dragged him aside, while whispering something quickly in his ear.

The tall man was obviously shocked by Fatty Li's words, his expression changed from anger to astonishment, and then to an awkward smile. He was stunned for a moment, then turned around and forced a smile towards Zhong Yuemin, his voice also softened. "Brother, you guys are busy, you guys are busy, I won't bother you anymore." After saying that, he hurriedly left at Fatty Li's urging, as if everything just now was just a misunderstanding.

Zhong Yuemin looked at this scene with a faint smile on his face. He didn't say much, but just patted Li Yongjun on the shoulder, signaling him not to worry about it. Then, he snapped and closed the door of the box neatly, isolating the disturbance outside.

The box was quiet again, with only Li Yongjun and Zhong Yuemin sitting opposite each other. Li Yongjun looked at Zhong Yuemin's calm demeanor and could not help but feel a surge of admiration in his heart. He knew that Zhong Yuemin was not only an extraordinary person, but also had an indescribable charm and wisdom.

“Yuemin, what you did just now was really…” Li Yongjun didn’t finish his words, but his meaning was clear.

Zhong Yuemin waved his hands and smiled. "It's no big deal. I was involved in this before. In this society, sometimes you need to be tough and decisive to protect yourself and your friends from harm."

Li Yongjun smiled bitterly and shook his head, as if lamenting the difference between himself and Zhong Yuemin, and also responding to his previous words. "I told you that you are different, but you still don't admit it. Come on, let's continue drinking." He raised his glass, trying to use alcohol to numb the pain and dissatisfaction in his heart.

Zhong Yuemin did not refuse. He understood Li Yongjun's mood at the moment, and also knew that sometimes talking and accompanying are more important than any reason. "You should be more open-minded. This is very normal. Farmers in the countryside all want to move to the county town, and people in the county town want to move to the provincial capital, not to mention the bigger leap of going abroad. Everyone is working hard for a better life, but they choose different ways."

Zhong Yuemin's words are full of insight and understanding of life, but without too much accusation or judgment.

Li Yongjun was silent for a while after hearing this, then sighed. "Zhong Laoer, I understand the reason, and I also understand that she may have her own difficulties and plans. However, I am just angry that she should not have quietly deprived me of my right to be a father. That feeling is like being stabbed in the back, painful and aggrieved."

Zhong Yuemin gently patted Li Yongjun's shoulder to comfort him. "Yes, you are right. This feeling is indeed not good. However, it has already happened, and no matter how much we regret or how angry we are, we cannot change the outcome. The most important thing now is that you have to think clearly about what to do next, how to face this reality, and how to move forward."

Li Yongjun raised his glass again, his eyes flashing with complex emotions, anger and helplessness. "But I know her too well. This woman is just vain. If she leaves, she will never come back. I was really blind to find such a woman. This is simply defection, Yuemin, don't you think this woman is too bold?"

Zhong Yuemin clinked his glasses with him gently, then took a sip of the wine and said calmly but firmly, "That's impossible."

Although Zhong Yuemin's response was brief, it revealed his understanding of the complexity of human nature. He did not directly deny Li Yongjun's point of view, but understood Liu Wenjing's choice with an inclusive attitude.

Li Yongjun disagreed. He snorted and continued, "I've seen too much this year. Many foreign-related workers went abroad to work for a few days and then disappeared and never came back. I know quite a few of them. This world is really chilling."

Zhong Yuemin sighed when he heard this. "Everyone has their own aspirations. We can't force them. Everyone has their own pursuits and dreams. We can't use our own standards to measure others. Maybe she feels that going abroad is the life she really wants."

Li Yongjun sneered and retorted, "Humph, everyone has their own aspirations. You are all impetuous. What's wrong with this society? Why are people so eager for quick success and instant benefits, and willing to do anything for fame and fortune?"

Zhong Yuemin smiled and said comfortingly, "Look at it in a positive way. This shows that everyone is starting to pursue something. Only with pursuit can there be progress. If everyone is crowded together and keeps moving forward, then it would be the end of us. Society is developing, times are changing, and we must also learn to adapt to and accept these changes."

After listening to this, Li Yongjun sighed and looked at Zhong Yuemin gratefully. "Zhong Yuemin, thank you for listening to me for so long. I really don't know who to talk to about these things. Only when it comes to you, can I speak freely."

Zhong Yuemin patted his shoulder in understanding and said softly, "Yongjun, no one can predict the outcome of love. But the important thing is that we must learn to let go and look forward. As for whether she defected, that is her own choice and we cannot influence it. The only thing you can do is to make yourself better and make her regret her original choice."

Li Yongjun smiled bitterly, raised his head and drank the wine in the glass. "You are right, Yuemin. I just feel aggrieved and want to talk to someone. Others don't understand me, but you do. Thank you for listening to me talk about this."

Zhong Yuemin smiled and continued, "Society is changing, and people's hearts are changing too. Everyone has their own pursuits and dreams, which is normal. We cannot deny ourselves because of other people's choices, and we must not lose confidence in life because of this. We must believe that as long as we work hard, we will always find our own sky."

After Zhong Yuemin and Li Yongjun finished their meal, they walked out of the restaurant arm in arm. It was late at night and the street lights were dim, casting long shadows on them.

"Yongjun, you really can't do this, I'll take you back." Zhong Yuemin suggested again, his tone full of concern. He knew that Li Yongjun was in a heavy mood at the moment and needed someone to accompany and take care of him.

However, Li Yongjun shook his head stubbornly and forced a smile. "Yuemin, I'm really fine. You don't have to worry about me, I can do it myself. You should go back and rest early, because you still have things to do tomorrow."

Zhong Yuemin saw how persistent Li Yongjun was and knew that it was futile to persuade him any further. He could only sigh helplessly, then took out a piece of paper and a pen from his pocket, wrote down the phone number, and handed it to Li Yongjun.

"Okay, then be careful. If you need any help, feel free to call me."

Li Yongjun took the note and nodded, his eyes slightly red. "Yuemin, thank you. I feel really lucky to have you as a classmate."

Zhong Yuemin looked at Li Yongjun's staggering and lonely figure from behind, feeling inexplicably sad.
