[Xuan Liang] Mr. Right

Thirteen,

Zhuge Liang's appearance is not as bad as Liu Bei thought, but his inside is terrible.

He finished two lectures absent-mindedly, returned to the office, and found that the flowers Liu Bei had sent were still there.He dumped the half-withered flowers in the garbage truck outside.The scent that remains before they wilt slowly wafts through the air.

He had a hard time wrapping up the last meeting of the day.He thought that he hadn't lost anything, but he just felt that the whole day had been muddled.

When I came out of the school, the street lights outside were just on, private cars blocked the entire driveway, and many people who were in a hurry to get off work were blocked in the road, and they became impatient.The horns of the car blared one after another.

Liu Bei is very patient at such times, he will tell jokes to pass the time, and he will also say that such things cannot be rushed.He always makes sense.But these people who are stuck on the street don't understand, maybe they all need to go back.

Zhuge Liang walked along the outside of the school, passed the closed flower shop, and turned into the side street.This street is full of small shops, and the chaos seems to be the fringe of urban and rural areas.Everyone adorns their signs with flamboyant neon lights.Only one place is quiet.At the corner of the street grew a huge banyan tree, probably hundreds of years old, leaving a deep black shadow in the twilight.

Zhuge Liang passed the banyan tree and saw an old man under the tree smoking a cigarette and talking to two old ladies.The content of the words fell into my ears intermittently.He said that we were all poor at that time, and she insisted on following me regardless of family objections.I didn't study much and came out to do business.In the end, I didn't expect that he would be gone so early... Fortunately, the school leaders took good care of him at that time, and even organized people to hold a memorial service.Later I asked if I could donate money to the school and keep her name, and the school finally agreed.

One of the old ladies wiped away tears and asked where is your son?what are you doing recently?The old man said, who knows what he thinks, he doesn't say anything, and I don't know what he is doing recently.

The old lady said yes, children nowadays will never tell these things to their family members.

Later, when he walked far away, he couldn't hear it anymore, but the shadow of the big tree stretched out for a long time.

Zhuge Liang finally got through the crowded traffic to the bus station several roads away.By the time he got to where he was going, it was past eight o'clock in the evening, but the time was just right.Zhuge Jin came out of school after class at this time.The graduating class needs to make up lessons, and this time will be reserved every time.

This is the first time the two brothers have met since the start of the new semester.As a family member of faculty and staff for many years, Zhuge Liang has summed up a valuable rule of life: their brotherhood is like a stock, and its trend has a great mysterious relationship with the progress of the semester and the time of winter and summer vacations.But this time is an exception. This stock has exceeded the usual rise and fall, and is already in the process of suspension for rectification.

The elder brother saw him and asked: You saw me, then what?

Zhuge Liang said, have you eaten?Let's go and eat.

So the two brothers went to eat.The restaurant is not far away. They often went together more than ten years ago. The owner of the store is also a persistent person. He has not moved for more than ten years. He still stays outside the school to do business for students (and teachers) and order for them. When cooking, they are all familiar with the road.

Zhuge Liang asked his brother how his class was going recently.

Zhuge Jin said that you know, of course you are tired.

Zhuge Liang said yes. I thought you shouldn’t do this job ten years ago. Your students are wonderful, your colleagues are wonderful, and the school management is also wonderful. Throw it away and change to another one.

In exchange for such kindness, my brother rolled his eyes: Anyway, most things in this world are weird in your eyes.

Zhuge Liang nodded humbly, disgusted in his heart.In this way, you usually go home from get off work at [-] o'clock to prepare lessons and change homework, and then go home at [-] o'clock on weekends to make up lessons and hold meetings to catch the runaway children's life is your own fault.

There is no way to talk about this topic. In the end, my brother said that you just want to have a meal with me?

Zhuge Liang said no, I want to talk about our quarrel.

The elder brother was silent for a while, stared at him for a long time, and finally said: Don't talk about it, it's all my fault.I thought about it later, I was too impatient, I should have communicated with you first.You really have your reasons for falling in love with that person, I really shouldn't object so forcefully.

Zhuge Liang was speechless.This is not the result he wanted at all.Life is complicated, fate tricks people, and he is at a loss for words.

He said: We broke up, just today.

Brother Jin was shocked and asked why?

Zhuge Liang didn't want to explain, so he shook his head and said that it had nothing to do with our quarrel.Brother comforted him a few words, but he didn't listen.This topic was quickly avoided by Zhuge Liang himself.The content of their meal chats was as boring as ever, except for work and family, such as Zhuge Ke who was about to enter elementary school, the third brother who was doing abroad and didn't know what to do, and his uncle who became obsessed with Tai Chi after retirement.But there is at least some meaning to the nonsense, helping the two of them through a new round of relationship crisis.

Zhuge Liang originally wanted to ask some questions about love, but he still couldn't say it.He felt that this topic seemed too unreal and too pretentious among daily necessities, and it was not suitable to raise it in front of his family.Besides, my elder brother is not the kind of romantic person, and he only has primitive experience in dating, so I'm afraid he can't help him much.

After the meal was over, the bill was settled, and none of the problems owed throughout the day were resolved.

When he left, my brother seemed to know what he was thinking, patted him on the shoulder, and said: Don't worry, everything will come naturally.Didn't I stop being angry with you again?So things are always going to get better.

After such a day and hearing such a sentence, Zhuge Liang felt a little sad.Of course he knew, just as he guessed deviously why his brother endured such an exhausting life.People in the traffic and the crowd also know the reason. All these reasons converge into a silent and majestic river, where everyone is washed and blurred.

fourteen,

About a week has passed.

Maybe, anyway, during this period of time Zhuge Liang was busy holding his conferences and working on his new topics to guide students. During this short period of time, he returned to his previous state.Falling in love is just a trivial matter in life, and he has every reason to ignore it.He considered calling Liu Bei to care about him, but he didn't know whether Liu Bei really needed it.

He felt that all these nameless troubles did not seem to come from Liu Bei, but from the depths of his heart.The project was very irritating and not going well in those few days. He used to think that these could be overcome, but now there is always some kind of inescapable, small frustration.

...Perhaps this feeling of occasional depression is called growth?

When he thought of this, he felt inexplicably funny.To be able to achieve some kind of growth in this situation, he is so handsome and handsome.The only thing that is not handsome is that I still feel confused from time to time. It seems that if I did not go right, I will still regret it later.One day, a group of students invited him to an event in the dormitory.He sat and listened to this group of karaoke songs of little brats, singing heartbreakingly about breaking up, pain, and complaining in his heart, can this thing be more fake?Thinking of Liu Bei's every time he talked about the divorce, he was either teasing or understating it, and he didn't feel this kind of heartbreaking feeling at all.

If he himself wants to say "I've been dumped" to someone one day, he will probably just say it with a smile.Or take it a step further. "Is there any reason for a person like me to be dumped?"

But it was a cool autumn.

They are adults after all.

The heart-piercing breakup song has passed, and the next one is a song about complaining women who wish you a bad life after breaking up.

...What are the little brats looking for now?

The air conditioner in the activity room seemed to be broken. He felt inexplicably hot. He went out and stood there for 2 minutes, only to find that the screen of his phone kept flashing.The deafening singing just now drowned out the sound of the incoming call.

He walked to the end of the corridor and answered the phone.

A stranger's voice said: "Excuse me, do you know Mr. Liu Bei?"

Zhuge Liang said I know each other, what's wrong?

"He's in the emergency room and can't find his relatives or friends. Who are you?"

The moment he saw the strange phone call, he had a bad feeling.Why is his intuition so accurate at this time?

Zhuge Liang said: "I will come right away."

He didn't care about anything, and ran directly outside the school to take a taxi.

He suddenly felt that all the things he cared about before ran out one by one.He sat in the taxi with his cell phone in his hand, feeling extremely worried. He wondered why Liu Bei broke up with him even though he couldn't take care of him.

And I was clearly stamped not to love Liu Bei, why did I suddenly feel like a knife was piercing my heart?
