fast food love

11 pm.

Mai Zijie just came back from Wuhan in the afternoon. He was very sleepy and had already fallen asleep.I have a new case to work on recently, and I am working alone in the study with the lights on.

Maybe because I knew that Mai Zijie and I had a close relationship before, the new boss Wang Yongli often gave me small shoes to wear.At work, you must be full of energy, and you can't make a wrong step.

Sometimes I also feel very tired. I really want to quit my job and follow Mai Zijie.But I'm a little unwilling, the current position is the result of my hard work and real skills, and I just can't swallow it...

The phone vibrated and a text message came in.I turned my head and glanced - it was an unfamiliar number.

Since the Gu Jia incident, I have always been cautious about unfamiliar numbers, basically treating them as spam and never checking them.

But this person seems to be very persistent, sending one after another WeChat message, not letting people breathe.

I turned on the phone impatiently.I have sent more than a dozen messages, all with the same sentence: See you at the old place at 6 o'clock tomorrow night.

I thought about it for a moment, and replied: Who is it?

WeChat is on again—see you at W□□e tomorrow at 6 pm.Lin Jinghui.

My heart trembled, and the phone almost slipped.

Lin Jinghui? ——Where is this trouble?

I was still restless until breakfast time.Mai Zijie couldn't help looking at me while pouring me milk.

"What's wrong with you? Something on your mind?" He pretended to ask casually.

"Oh, something about work." I forced a smile.

Mai Zijie looked at me suspiciously, "Is there a lot of work pressure recently? I didn't even know when you fell asleep yesterday."

"En." I replied vaguely, picked up the buns on the plate, and took a big bite.

Mai Zijie drove me to the company. I shut myself in the office and dialed the number from last night.

"Hello, Lin Jinghui?"

The phone was picked up, but there was silence on the receiver.

"Say something! Is that you, Lin Jinghui?" I was anxious.

"It's me." The voice was very low, but I still recognized it.

"Do you need me?" I asked.

"It's okay, I just want to see you."

My eyes were sore, and a familiar feeling came to my mind.

"Lin Jinghui, how are you doing?" I asked, "Long time no see."

He chuckled and asked me back, "Do you think I'm okay?"

I can't speak.

"Did you see the message? See you tonight." His tone was light.

"Lin Jinghui, this is not appropriate." I muttered, "It's not good for you either."

"Don't talk nonsense!" He was a little angry, "Come as soon as you are told. Why, you can't even meet now?"

I sighed and hung up the phone.

To go or not to go?

I struggled from the morning until I was about to leave work, and I lost my mind about work.In the end, I decided to go and see what was going on-who told me to owe him.

I called Mai Zijie and tricked him into having a dinner with his colleagues.It is said that this is the first time I have lied to him, and I feel apprehensive.But I can't tell him: Hi!My ex-boyfriend said he missed me, so I went to see him tonight- how can I say that!

I dawdled in the company until 5:30, and then took a taxi downstairs to W□□e to meet the appointment.

A place like W□□e is purely a place to hang guns. Since I dated Mai Zijie, I have never set foot in a gay bar or other sensual places. The past is long gone.Lin Jinghui invited me to meet here tonight, and I felt really awkward in my heart.

As usual, Lin Jinghui arrived early.

Sitting alone in front of the bar, it seems that he has been here for a long time, and the lonely back looks a little lonely.

I walked over and patted him on the shoulder lightly, "Hi."

"You're here." Lin Jinghui took a sip of wine without looking back, as if the person who asked me to come was not him at all.

I didn't take it too seriously, so I ordered a drink and sat down beside him.

He cast a glance, "You're good? You don't drink anymore."

I laughed, "Why... I have to work at night, it's very important to keep a clear mind."

"I'm getting married." He suddenly said without thinking, "The old man stuffed me with a girl, next month."

My heart skipped a beat, feeling sad for no reason.

"You... don't you have anything to say?" Lin Jinghui finally turned to look at me.

"Congratulations." I said stiffly.

"Congratulations?" He smiled, "Congratulations on what?"

"Then you want to hear what I have to say?" I looked at him.

- You are born noble.If you want to inherit the family business, carry on the family line, and live up to your mother, do you have any other options?

Lin Jinghui turned back desolately, and continued to drink the wine in the glass.

I patted him on the shoulder reassuringly, "You are following the right path of marrying a wife and having children... Unlike me, this will be the case in this life. As long as you manage well, you will be happy."

He laughed at himself, "You are flirting with others now, that's why you can say such things?"

I conclude.

"You have a new love, so of course you don't care about me anymore." He clenched his fists, "I marry a wife and have children, which is exactly what you want."

I picked it up in my heart—it wasn't painless.

"I'm sorry, Lin Jinghui." That's all I can say. "What can I do for you now?"

"What?" He sneered, "It's really hypocritical."

I believe that Lin Jinghui hates me.

I also hate myself, why I let him down.It would be great if I could be split into two halves, and the half would be given to Lin Jinghui.

He raised his head, and I dared not meet his eyes.

"Chen Li, do you really like him that much?" He asked.

I nodded.

"what about me?"

I bit my lip, how should I answer this?

"I'm sorry," I said, "I failed you."

He smiled, got off the chair, and staggered towards the door.I saw that he seemed to be drunk, and I was a little worried, so I stepped forward and took his arm to help him.

Lin Jinghui leaned against me, squinting at me.

"Did you drive here by yourself? Shall I call a driver for you?" I asked.

"You take me home," he said.

I hesitated, "Lin Jinghui, you know I haven't touched a car since I finished my driver's license test, it's not safe."

"You take me home." He said stubbornly with his eyes wide open.

I couldn't, so I called a substitute driver and sat in the back seat of the car with him.

Along the way, he held my arm tightly, not like intimacy, but like hatred.I gritted my teeth and let him vent.

When he got to the place, he helped Lin Jinghui to sway down.He kept snuggling up against me like he was really drunk.I walked him to the door of the apartment, hesitating whether to go in or not.

"What, am I a plague? Now I don't even like staying a little longer?" Lin Jinghui said coldly.

I was a little sad, "Lin Jinghui, let's not talk like this."

He pushed me away violently, took out the key from his pants pocket, opened the door and walked in.I stood there unable to move for a long time, and my mind was full of bits and pieces of the two people's lives here before.

Lin Jinghui turned his back to me, and his cold words sounded in the darkness.

"I'm really curious how long you can last."

The door closed in front of me with a bang, and the dull and thick sound echoed in the dark corridor, making people frightened by ghosts.
