fast food love

When Yichuan called at night, he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear.

"Hey Chen Li, good job! Are you venting your anger now?"

Hmph, I'm actually more depressed now than in the morning, I really can't say...

"After you left, Gu Jia and his father had another big quarrel, which was persuaded by Principal Guo."

"Are they still arguing in front of the guests?" I wondered.

"No, Lin Bodong has already left... In short, the father and son have completely fallen out."

I am noncommittal.The son couldn't help his father, Gu Jia's wings are hardened now.

"Principal Guo is very upset about this matter. I see that Gu Jia's good days are coming to an end."

"Whether he is good or not has nothing to do with me." I said, "By the way, do you have Gu Jia's contact information?"

"Why, you still want to beat him up?" Liu Yichuan fussed.

"No, I have something to ask him." I said.

After hanging up on Liu Yichuan, I dialed the number he gave me.

"Hello, Gu Jia?"

"Chen Li?"

"Yeah." My voice was calm. "Do you have time tonight? Come out and meet."

The night wind was bitingly cold, so I wrapped my thin coat tightly and buried my head in the scarf, only my eyes were exposed.

After waiting for about 10 minutes, Gu Jia finally rushed over.He was wearing a black down jacket and was sweating profusely from running.Under the street lamp, there was still a swollen lump on the left cheek.

"Have you been waiting for a long time?...I'm sorry, the road is too congested today, I..."

"Go and sit there." I interrupted him, pointing to a bench next to me - I specially chose to meet in the park, the cold air can clear my mind and prevent me from being emotional.

He nodded, followed me obediently and sat down.

I quietly looked at this face that had appeared thousands of times in my dreams.The years have not engraved too many changes on his body, his bones are still distinct, and his facial features are unusually handsome.But I clearly know that the one looking at me now is no longer the big boy from more than ten years ago.

He is also looking at me carefully, from head to toe, not letting go of an inch.

"You've lost a lot of weight," he concluded. "The rest hasn't changed much."

"You too," I said.

"In the past few years... how have you been?" There was a slight timidity in his voice.

"I'm having a bad time, I've been thinking about you." I told the truth, "In the first few years, I felt like I was dead... After a long time, I gradually forgot about it."

He didn't start, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault... Please believe me, I have to do it too."

"Well, I think so too." I nodded in good temper, "I couldn't figure it out at first, but for some reason today, I suddenly figured it out..."

Gu Jia wanted to shake my hand, but I avoided it.

"Chen Li, I know that I have done many things wrong, and almost killed you..." He took a deep breath, "It's only right for you to hate me."

"...At that time, my grandma suddenly became critically ill in the United States, and my parents said that if they didn't go, they would not see each other for the last time." Gu Jia told the story slowly, not knowing whether to tell me or herself.

"I wanted to come back after seeing her, but who knew that I would stay for a year...Grandma's health has been bad and bad, and I can't contact you over there..."

It seems that I have also reported a critical illness... I feel cool all over my body, as if being blown by the night wind all the way to my heart.

"My parents urged me to settle the school first. I have no choice..." Gu Jia continued to immerse herself in her memories, "There were several times when I missed you like crazy. The more I wanted to go home, the more afraid I was. Family, I'm afraid you hate me."

"Has Yichuan visited you?" I asked calmly, "Why didn't you come to say goodbye to me?"

"I dare not see you," Gu Jia choked up and said, "I'm afraid you're really dead..."

His tears were not fake.

Seeing this big man in his 30s shaking his shoulders in front of him, my heart softened.The right and wrong of the past is like a dream, and everything suddenly has no meaning.And those who have loved and hated have stayed at that specific time node and can never go back.

Like anyone who has been emotionally traumatized, I fantasized about seeing him again.However, when the real person is in front of him, he understands that love and hatred are gone, and things are different.

In that instant, I suddenly forgave him.I am not interested in asking other questions, because all these are not important. The story between me and him is over, and today is the end.

I patted him on the shoulder, "Did it hurt you today?"

"No. You should hit me...I'm sorry for you too much." Gu Jia lowered her head, unable to see the expression on her face clearly.

"However, there is one thing that needs to be clarified." My tone turned serious, "You have your freedom of speech. But regarding our previous relationship, please respect my privacy."

"I'm not like you," I went on, "I'm just an ordinary guy who just wants to live a quiet life."

"I promised you... one day, I will make everyone accept us." He said softly, "I owe you this."

My throat was suddenly blocked and I couldn't speak.

"But okay," he looked at me, "I won't say any more."

We chatted on and off for a while.

"Can I still contact you later?" he asked.

I shook my head slightly. "It's better not to."

He looked at me disappointedly and didn't say anything more.

When we parted, we were all a little sad.There should be no chance to see you again in the future. Different life trajectories should go their own way.

A gust of wind blew, and I couldn't help shrinking my neck.Seeing this, Gu Jia took off her down jacket and covered me.I dodged - this guy is only wearing a thin woolen sweater, isn't he afraid of catching a cold?

"Put it on." He frowned slightly, "It's so cold, I don't wear more when I go out."

"how about you?"

"My car is over there, walk a few steps to it." Gu Jia said.

I watched him silently.

"Take care of yourself." He bit his lip, his eyes were a little wet, "Goodbye, Chen Li."
