On the seventh day of the lunar new year, Ye Zhen returned to Beijing.

The city of Beijing is still immersed in the atmosphere of the Spring Festival, but the white-collar workers have already put on skirts and stockings, and squeezed the subway against the cold wind early in the morning.

Ye Zhen has never contacted Lu Licheng since she proposed to break up.

No one contacted her either.

Fu Xiaoxiao was also on winter vacation, so she never came to her place.

Life seemed to be silent all of a sudden, she didn't have many friends, and now she was even more deserted.

So after getting off work in the afternoon, she decided to reward herself and came to Houhai alone.

I can't stop living because of a Lu Li achievement.

Passing Qingcheng Bar, Wei Fengqing was busy, and Lao Luo set up an easel at the door, drawing for free for interested passers-by, and was sketching for the cheerful little girl in front of him with a cigarette in his mouth and squinting his eyes.

He painted seriously, Ye Zhen stood behind him and watched for a long time but didn't notice it, and was suddenly startled by her when she finished the work and put down the pen.

"I rely on the leaves, you walk without sound." Lao Luo complained indistinctly.

"I greeted you, but you were too serious." Ye Zhen said, helping to take off the paper and handing it to the girl, "The painting is very beautiful."

The little girl happily walked away with the painting, admiring the painting with the boy beside her.

Lao Luo looked at the sky: "It's getting late, and I'll be blind if I paint again. Come help, pack up and go back."

Ye Zhen responded, and helped him put away the painting box and carried it back.

"Hey," Lao Luo lowered his head and asked her as soon as he entered the door and put down his things, "You and Li Cheng... are you really separated?"

Hearing this, she put down the painting box as lightly as possible, clapped her hands and said softly, "Well, it's divided."

"Why?" The smoke in Lao Luo's mouth burned to the end, and the ash fell on the ground.

"Be careful when Feng Qing sees you and calls you again." She said, took a tissue and a leaflet, swept the cigarette ash that fell on the ground on the leaflet, and poured it into the ashtray.

"Why?" Lao Luo asked reluctantly.

"Do you think we are suitable?" Ye Zhen asked.

"It's suitable, it can't be more suitable." Lao Luo nodded his head, "You are both so good, you are smart and beautiful, no one is more suitable for him than you."

"Then do you know how long he hasn't contacted me?" Ye Zhen folded the dirty flyer in half and put it on the wooden table.

"23 days."

"From the time he left Beijing to the time we broke up, it took less than six months. We talked thirteen times, an average of once every two months. I called him 90.00% of the time. Within five minutes of speaking, he fell asleep. Or work again." Ye Zhen's finger slid across the table, "You said, if the two people are destined to have less and less common language, then I propose to break up, isn't it quite forward-looking?"

"False." Lao Luo lit another cigarette, "He is just busy with work, do you understand?"

"Understood, I can't understand anymore." Ye Zhen said, "When I first met him, he was so busy. He was busy studying, competing, working part-time to make money, and even took time to sleep. Then I followed in his footsteps, every year Take the highest scholarship and work part-time with him."

"But now I suddenly discovered that my four years of university life were all because of him."

"I became the kind of person I most wanted to be, but at the same time I found that the distance between us was getting farther and farther." She said, "The circle of life, the circle of communication, and even the biological clock are not together."

"If I grew up with him in the past, then now, I don't need him anymore, and of course, he doesn't need me anymore." Ye Zhen pressed her fingernails on the glass ashtray on the table and said, "Look, we broke up half a year ago." It's been more than a month, and my life is no different from the previous half a year. I don't even need to think about whether to call him, when to call, and whether it will disturb his work. My life has become a lot more free. "

"You are not here, what is he working so hard for?" Lao Luo sat in a wooden chair and looked at her from the bottom up, "He once had a drink with us, and after drinking three rounds, he mentioned that he would bring you back to your hometown in Anhui .He said, after five years, he must marry you and let you live the best life." He said, "So Ye Zi, if you are not here, what is he going to do?"

"Then I should break up with him even more." Ye Zhen smiled wryly, "If you say it this way, I am the culprit, and I have a heavy sense of guilt."

"Do you know why he hasn't contacted you for more than 20 days?" Lao Luo suddenly asked.

"why?"

"I was so busy with work that I was hospitalized with stomach bleeding." Lao Luo sneered, "He has been hiding it from you."

Ye Zhen froze in place.

"I designed that villa for him. A man who couldn't even pay the rent, got the first commission and didn't pay the rent and didn't eat. He bought a piece of land with all the money and promised to thank me when he came back. I said what would you like to thank, but he said that I would not be allowed to give gift money when we got married." Lao Luo took a deep puff of cigarette, and slowly exhaled: "So Ye Zhen, do you still want to break up?"

Ye Zhen didn't speak.

She was speechless.

"So it's all because of me..." She whispered, then raised her head suddenly, "Then it's time to break up. If we don't break up, I will kill him."

"Bullshit!" Lao Luo cursed suddenly, "What's the deal? I'll call him right now and ask him to fly to coax you! Everything is explained clearly and you still have to give up!"

He was so loud that the few guests in the bar all looked over.

"Don't hit..." she tremblingly said, grabbing his sleeve, "Don't hit."

"why?"

"Don't tell him I know." She burst into tears, "Keep it from him, let him give up."

"Damn..." Lao Luo fell back into the chair all of a sudden, "I don't understand what you women think." He waved his hand and waved behind Ye Zhen, "Qingzi, come and persuade me."

"Can't you be more tactful? I asked you to persuade and come here, can you be a little professional?" Wei Fengqing took Ye Zhen's shoulders, "Little Ye Zi, tell me, what dissatisfaction do you have with Lu Licheng? Brother, I will blow you away now." I went to find him, took someone from his money-burning villa and threw them in front of you and knelt down to make amends with you."

"Fengqing." Ye Zhen wiped away her tears and said, "I want to sing."

"Ah?" Wei Fengqing didn't react.

"I said I wanted to sing a song," she said nasally.

"Sing, sing, I'll let the band prepare and sing for you, as long as you're happy. What are you singing?" Wei Fengqing hurriedly said, "I've heard that you have a good voice, but I haven't heard you sing before. I'm lucky today."

""BECAUSE I LOVE YOU"." Ye Zhen said softly.

The atmosphere of the Spring Festival is still strong. Big red lanterns are hung at the gate of Qingcheng. As night falls, everyone who comes in is illuminated with festive faces.

She sat on a high stool, imitating Lu Licheng, adjusted the angle of the microphone, put her right hand on the microphone, and closed her eyes.

"I've never sung in front of so many people," she said.

"This is the first time and it will be the last time."

"Someone told me that he will always love me until I don't love him anymore. But now I give up, please understand my decision."

"Sometimes giving up is a better choice than holding on."

""Because I love you"."

If I got down on my knees and pleaded with you,

If I get down on my knees and beg you

If I crossed a million oceans just to be with you,

If I cross billions of oceans just to be with you

Would you ever let me down

Will you reject me?

If I climbed the highest mountain just to hold you out,

If I climb the highest mountain just to hold you tight

If I said that I would love you every single night,

if i say i will love you forever

Would you ever let me down

Will you still reject me?

Because I love you, love you,

because i love you love you

Love you so don't let me down.

I love you don't reject me please?

I went over mountains and mountains for you, climbed peaks for you, but found that you were on the top of another mountain, obviously at the same height, but separated by a huge gully.

Because I love you, so, even if I choose to give up, please don't refuse.

Goodbye, Eilliot.

May you one day be the king of others.

The author has something to say: the final word, we broke up

I haven't decided where to start the next chapter...Maybe it's directly at the prologue, maybe after a few years of writing along the way, there is another big thing happening in the middle, let me think about how to write...

Anyway, this article is coming to an end

It’s time to come back after being away from the outline for so long_(:з」∠)_
