After the divorce, Slag Gong shut him down

On Saturday night, when the city was the most noisy, a car slowly drove into a quiet lakeside residential area.

Parking the car outside the fence, Nie Zhixin turned off the engine and walked down, but standing in front of the brightly lit house, he didn't rush in, but stopped at the spot and lit a cigarette.

This is his parents' home, and the 9th building in Area A, which is only a few kilometers away on the slope, is the former home of Zhou Fushen and Jiang Ran.

In the past four years, whenever he returned to China, Nie Zhixin would be ordered by his parents to bite the bullet and visit this "good friend" who had played with him since he was a child.

This is naturally a kind of torment for him, especially when he is in it and all he can see is Zhou Fushen and Jiang Ran getting along bit by bit. Not to mention the harmony of the piano, but it definitely has a special taste, at least when you step into the house that is too neat, you will find the happy atmosphere buried under the calm tones within a few glances.

This cognition once frustrated Nie Zhixin.

In addition to his admiration for Jiang Ran making him sour, it is even more difficult for him to accept that the person who obtained this happiness is Zhou Fushen.

After all, Nie Zhixin has always felt that if God is willing to open a door for you, then he will close a window for you, so a person like him who maintains the middle ground and only excels in all aspects is the real one. A winner who can enjoy life.

And people like Zhou Fushen should die alone with wealth and fame that ordinary people can't match.

Slowly exhaling the smoke from his mouth, Nie Zhixin raised his head and looked at the house standing in the darkness in the distance, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.

——Fortunately, it is not too late for God to take back all this.

Taking a deep breath of the cigarette, Nie Zhixin extinguished the last stub of the cigarette on the trash can, and walked towards the gate, but just as he pushed the gate open, a car whizzed by behind him at an extremely fast speed, heading towards the door. Drive up the slope.

The hot wind from the passing vehicle made Nie Zhixin frowned and looked back, with a dissatisfied expression on his face, but he didn't care too much. He dusted off the dust on his clothes and turned to leave.

He walked into the hallway, changed his shoes, and as soon as he stepped into the living room, the laughter and lively figures of the children immediately filled the audience.

Today's Nie's house is a bit lively. Not long ago, Qi Ye's parents just came back from abroad, and the two families made an appointment to have a reunion this weekend and call some relatives and friends along the way.

So Nie Zhixin was surrounded by a group of children when he came up, but he didn't show any impatience. After bending down to distribute the presents in an orderly manner, he touched the heads of each of them, and then followed everyone present with a smile on his face. The elders exchanged greetings one by one.

He looked like he could handle it more than enough, but in reality he was thinking about other things entirely.

Since the afternoon, he has been looking forward to Jiang Ran's reply.

For this invitation, Nie Zhixin wrote countless drafts, and finally sent it out after several days of deliberation, but even so, the reason he used was still very far-fetched, as far-fetched as a stubborn straight man.

The more Nie Zhixin thought about it, the more he felt that the sentence was too stupid, and wanted to withdraw it, but he was afraid that the reminder to withdraw the message would be displayed on the screen, and it would be even more embarrassing when Jiang Ran saw it.

In short, this tense and tangled emotion has been accompanied by him the whole way he drove here, and even after he sat down now, it hasn't diminished in any way.

And this is also the difference in personal style between him and Zhou Fushen. It is different from Zhou Fushen's fanfare and even unreasonable conquests. Faced with the proposition of how to pursue his sweetheart, Nie Zhixin is a steady and restrained conservative, or in layman's terms, he is A live example of why the majority of high-quality male compatriots are still single at a large age-always carry it.

You think you are showing grace and know how to respect, but others think you are aloof and unmarried. What's more, even the elders think you are an independent child who must have his own ideas in everything, so you usually even introduce Blind dates are not introduced.

So in this kind of situation, Nie Zhixin is a rare young man who doesn't feel headaches, but Qi Ye is not so lucky. As an example of "not worrying" among his peers, he is the first object of the elders to urge marriage.

Especially today when Qi's mother saw several old friends with children and grandchildren around her knees, she was even more envious, and she immediately got angry at Qi Ye, and she even scolded Qi Ye for picking up a piece of fish: "How old are you?" ? You just know how to eat and eat, and I don’t know where your thoughts have gone.”

Qi Ye was also considered to be experienced in many battles, and he knew what it meant when he heard the words, so he didn't dare to answer at all, and just pretended that he didn't hear it and drank in silence.

But Qi's mother didn't let him go, and she was still talking to herself: "Oh, this child doesn't listen to what he says, he's like a piece of hob meat, and I don't know when your dad and I will be able to hold our grandson .”

"Mom..." Qi Ye's expression was indescribable. Seeing that he couldn't get away with it, he could only make trouble out of him, "Why am I in such a hurry, Nie Zhixin is still two years older than me, and he is going to be three years old, and he is going to get married He was the one who ended up first!"

"Zhixin is a Ph.D. He has been motivated since he was a child, and he has always been serious about business. Can you compare with others?" Before Nie Zhixin could say anything, Qi's mother hated iron and said: "Let's not talk about Zhixin, In terms of having a serious business, you can’t even compare to the boy from the Zhou family. Even if he didn’t listen to the family’s arrangements, he made a fortune of hundreds of millions in the entertainment circle like playing tickets. It’s not because he has the one to make money What kind of brains do you have? Look at you again, you are not as smart as others, nor are you childish and sensible, what face do you have to compare this to that?"

"I……"

Unexpectedly, one sentence would cause such a big hornet's nest, Qi Ye was miserable, but Qi's mother still seemed to be unsatisfied. Seeing that the warm and harmonious family gathering was about to turn into a sex meeting, Qi's father hurriedly came out to smooth things over and said with a smile: "Speaking of Zhou Fushen This child is quite surprising, at first we thought it would be difficult for the child of Zhou Chengye's family to find a partner in the future based on his personality, but now he has been divorced once, and we two children are still single."

An elder next to him also echoed: "No, and the news of his divorce is not small. I heard about it when I was on a business trip abroad a while ago, and I heard that he is still missing now. Sigh... I can't see that the child is usually divorced. Such a calm and clear-headed person can actually make such a thing, probably because of his true feelings."

"Look at what you said, who gets married without being moved by true feelings?" The Nie family's parents met Jiang Ran, and they discussed the issue from a different angle: "If you want me to say, this is what made Fushen fall. Somersault, long memory, after all, the kid he is looking for has a really good personality, if he can be forced to the point of asking for a divorce, then he must be the one who makes people feel bad."

"Who said it wasn't?" Qi's mother was also distracted, and echoed: "Zhou Fushen, he is just too smart. If this person can do everything easily from childhood to adulthood, then he will have a hard time." Learn to cherish."

Everyone was filled with emotion for a moment, and Qi's father was a little curious when he saw this: "Hearing what you said, I'm really curious about what kind of person this boy is, but it's a pity that I didn't catch up with the wedding."

Nie Zhixin wanted to answer when he heard the words, but just as he was about to speak, Qi Ye suddenly muttered beside him: "Actually, it's just like that. They all say that Jiang Ran and Fushen's marriage is doing charity, but in the final analysis, human beings It’s not that he chose it himself, he likes Zhou Fushen, but he finds that he can’t stand it, so who can you blame? We don’t marry blindly in this age, who lied to him or what?”

Seeing that he was singing the opposite tune again, Qi's mother glared at him, but before she had time to say anything, Nie Zhixin on the other end suddenly stood up from the chair.

"I feel a little sick to my stomach. Let's go to the table first. Uncles and aunts, eat slowly."

As he spoke, he pushed away the chair, away from the bustle of relatives and elders at the dinner table, walked to a secluded corner with a screen screen, and began to fiddle with his mobile phone.

It has to be said that Qi Ye's words hurt him.

It reminded him of Zhou Fushen's provocative words when he met him before.

'But in the end you just stayed where you were, and I was the one who took action. There is no first come, first served rule in courtship, don't you understand? ''Nie Zhixin, you are used to being a good student who keeps your own place and you don't know what competition is, so let me teach you. You always look like a gentle and elegant elite, and you can't stand in front of Jiang Ran, so obviously he knew it first. The person who loves you is you, but you don't even remember your face at all. Do you think that a gradual, steady and gentle pursuit is what Jiang Ran wants?No, the only thing he wants is me, and the only person who can see through his body is me. I am his destiny, so no matter what obstacles and twists and turns he encounters, he will still come back to me. '...

Breaking away from the thoughts of memories, Nie Zhixin's gaze refocused on the phone screen. Jiang Ran had already replied on WeChat, and the words of refusal were reflected in his eyes, as if he had been splashed with a basin of ice water in midsummer. The sober temperature finally made him realize——Zhou Fushen might be right.

He is so indecisive that he will never get close to Jiang Ran.

Then suddenly, as if he had made up his mind, Nie Zhixin picked up the phone, moved his fingers quickly, and sent out messages one by one almost without thinking, but only a few minutes passed, under his soft and hard palate Next, Jiang Ran's answer was reversed.

incredible.

It turned out to be really useful.

Nie Zhixin looked at Jiang Ran's repeatedly resisting words on the screen, his rare cheeky answer, and Jiang Ran's helpless "Okay" at the end—he seemed to suddenly understand why he lost to Zhou Fushen back then. .

Because he just lacks the thick-skinned and action power to be indomitable.

Unspeakable emotions surged in Nie Zhixin's chest. He pulled the screen back and forth, but he flipped through the short two pages of dialogue countless times, and every time he saw the last sentence "Okay", a smile would unconsciously floating in the corner of his mouth.

Nie Zhixin could imagine Jiang Ran's embarrassed expression on the other end. In fact, he felt a little embarrassed about it, but more of it was the joy of getting what he wanted.

Over the years, he has been tormented by the miss that year, and the so-called study abroad is just an excuse to avoid pain.

And indeed, when he was immersed in his busy studies, he once felt that he had forgotten this hopeless relationship, but whenever he had this illusion, in the next night, he would definitely dream of Jiang Ran's figure.

Even after waking up with difficulty, he turned on his mobile phone in the dark night when he couldn't sleep, but by chance, he clicked on an article and saw a research statement saying that if you suddenly start dreaming frequently Someone, it turns out that you subconsciously feel that you are about to lose this person.

Immediately, my heart felt like a knife was twisted.

That's why he sent Jiang Ran the email with the recording attached.

Of course, Nie Zhixin was not completely free of guilt for doing such a thing, but this guilt was more towards Jiang Ran than Zhou Fushen.

He chose Jiang Ran to send that anonymous email on the eve of the semi-finals, just to make the consequences more serious, so that the conflicts created would be more intense, but he didn't expect that the public opinion on the Internet would ferment because of that press conference later. , until it evolved into what it is today.

But then again, he still hasn't figured out the purpose of Zhou Fushen's press conference. If it's a bitter plan, it's too low-end, and it doesn't conform to Zhou Fushen's usual style.

What tricks is he playing?

Clutching the phone, Nie Zhixin frowned, but his thoughts were interrupted immediately, his aunt's cousin who was still in high school suddenly leaned out from behind the sofa, raised the phone screen at him and said, "Brother Zhixin, you Look, I took this photo when I went to the premiere of "Breaking Precepts", isn't it handsome?"

Nie Zhixin thought she was photographing Yu Jingnian, so she agreed without raising her head, "Shuai Shuai..."

"Really? He and the tall guy next to him must be a couple, and they are flirting with each other." The cousin said happily: "Actually, I think the other boy is a bit like Brother Fushen, but the last time I saw him in person, he was still I'm in junior high school, so I may have misread it... Hey, bro, what are you doing?"

Before she finished speaking, Nie Zhixin raised her hand and took her phone back.

This time he saw clearly that the person in the photo was clearly Jiang Ran.

But the face of the tall boy that my cousin mentioned is not clear, he seems to be very sensitive to the camera, only a small half of his profile is left when he lowers his head, but it looks vaguely like Zhou Fushen.

Nie Zhixin's heart seemed to be squeezed tightly by someone. From his point of view, it was absolutely impossible for Zhou Fushen to appear in front of Jiang Ran again. So who is this person?What made his throat even more sore was that Jiang Ran actually went out to watch a movie with a man who looked like Zhou Fushen.

'He likes Zhou Fushen like that. Qi Ye's complaint just now seemed to be still in his ears, and Nie Zhixin suddenly felt irritable. He returned the phone to the bewildered cousin, then put on his coat and walked outside: "I'm going out to get some air."

After leaving the gate, Nie Zhixin unconsciously walked up the slope along the asphalt road, and when he came to his senses, he was already in front of the 9th Building in Area A.

The house is shining brightly.

Nie Zhixin's expression froze, he got closer, and through the fence, he saw a car parked inside, it was the same car that passed him earlier.

"Are you lost?"

Suddenly a voice came from behind, and Nie Zhixin turned around abruptly, and saw Zhou Fushen standing under the plane tree beside the stairs, looking at him with a half-smile.

Nie Zhixin was startled for a moment, but soon calmed down, and said, "I should say this. If you come back here in a big way, aren't you afraid of being caught by the media?"

Zhou Fushen was noncommittal, he put one hand in his loose sweatpants, turned his head and looked at the end of the stairs: "I want to go up and have a look, together?"

The evening wind blew through the canopy, making a rustling sound.

Nie Zhixin stared at him, but didn't respond immediately. He was full of surprise at the moment. After all, the two of them were still at war the last time they met, but Zhou Fushen invited him to see the scenery so quickly, as if nothing had happened. Are all mental illnesses so capricious?

And speaking of it, if you go further up, you will be at the observatory. It's not safe to go to such a high place with a person who threatened his life not long ago...

He was hesitant, but Zhou Fushen seemed to see through his mind, and said with a smile, "Don't you dare to be alone with me?"

"Do you think I should readily agree?" Nie Zhixin said in a sarcastic tone, but even though he said so, he finally took a step forward.

The two walked on the stone steps silently, one in front and one behind. There were a few Kongming lanterns floating in the night sky in the distance, and occasionally they could hear the unbridled roar of young people from the shore of the lake below.

"Do you know?" Zhou Fu turned his face to the side, as if talking to him, and seemed to be staring at the endless edge of the city, so he said in a tone that seemed to be chatty: "Whenever I feel that I have encountered setbacks and stagnated, I I like to go up to see it.”

Nie Zhixin raised his eyebrows: "Is it because of the wide field of vision?"

"No." Zhou Fushen resolutely denied it, and he said flatly, "I think that there are still so many small and stupid people living happily in this world, and I will feel optimistic about the predicament in front of me."

"..." Nie Zhixin couldn't keep up with his train of thought, and the long stairs gradually made him feel hard to breathe: "The... predicament you mentioned, doesn't it mean that Jiang Ran cannot be saved?"

Zhou Fushen's back slowly stopped.

He turned around coldly and calmly, with his back to the howling evening wind and the sky full of stars, and looked down at Nie Zhixin from a high position, but the real focus of his eyes was not on him.

With the help of the dim moonlight, Nie Zhixin could clearly see his dim eyes, like a mirror that reflected his soul, telling all his experiences in the world.

"I never doubted that I would grow old with Jiang Ran." Zhou Fushen said: "He is like the other half I lost at birth, every corner fits every gap in me, and more importantly, he Willing to do this, although the diamond is priceless, but he is still willing to set it on me and decorate my life brilliantly, do you know why?"

"I don't know." Nie Zhixin said indifferently, he felt a chill in his heart, he didn't understand how Zhou Fushen could say such nasty words out of his mouth, did he want to demonstrate to himself or what?

"Because Jiang Ran didn't know that he was a diamond." Zhou Fu smiled like ice piercingly: "He thought that the incomplete metal that allowed him to live was unique, and this kind of coincidence needs to take advantage of the right time, place and people. So when it happens, it's fated and there's no way to reverse it."

"So do you understand, Nie Zhixin?" He suddenly changed the subject, raising his voice as if trying to convince himself: "After me, no one is unique."

Nie Zhixin looked up into his eyes, his expression gradually became cold: "No one is irreplaceable, Zhou Fushen."

He said and continued to walk up the steps: "You think you are a cinnabar mole, but in fact it's just mosquito blood that can't be wiped off the wall. Marriage can't be maintained just by throbbing when you're in love." , since Jiang Ran can illuminate the house with light, then you have to pay for the food and wine to match it, otherwise you are just a patient with paranoid fantasies about love, no one wants to take care of a patient forever .”

"Of course you can be so objective." Zhou Fushen said softly when he passed by.

He wasn't out of breath, nor embarrassed after being stabbed in the sore foot, he was just stating the facts: "Because you have never been favored by Jiang Ran."

Slap!Nie Zhixin seemed to hear the sound of the soles of the shoes stepping on the stone bricks exploded in his mind. He suddenly turned around and asked, "Really? If one day in the future, Jiang Ran thinks that I am more suitable for him?"

"If you love him more than life, go ahead and try."

"what?"

Nie Zhixin froze for a moment, what happened next was like a slow-motion movie. On the stairs without guardrails, Zhou Fushen suddenly raised his hand and gave him a hard push with no expression on his face. Falling uncontrollably into the darkness behind.

In an instant, countless figures flashed in front of Nie Zhixin's eyes, including parents and classmates, and Jiang Ran was the last one, and what bred with him was regret.

He didn't know what he was regretting.

But soon all the emotions came to an abrupt end at the moment of landing, and he fell heavily in the grass, but unexpectedly, there was no pain and fragmentation.

All he saw in a daze was Zhou Fushen's slightly sneering face.

Climbing up in shock, Nie Zhixin discovered that there happened to be a gentle slope outside the area where he and Zhou Fushen were staying, which meant that there was still a distance from the cliff behind. The illusion of nowhere.

But even if it was a false alarm, Nie Zhixin still felt a wave of fear, and these trembling emotions turned into anger and embarrassment when he saw Zhou Fushen's hideous face, almost in a flash, Nie Zhixin's blood surged , Without any explanation, he raised his fist and punched him in the face.

However, the academic achievements he was proud of could not add points in this kind of battle of the law of the jungle, so Zhou Fushen not only easily avoided the punch, but even bent his knees and hit him hard on the abdomen.

This hit didn't hit the vital point, but the pain was really heart-piercing. Nie Zhixin couldn't even hold on to the idea of ​​not kneeling down. He clutched his abdomen, and cold sweat dripped directly from his forehead and hit the ground.

"Can't you afford to joke around like this?" Zhou Fushen calmly said, "Jiang Ran doesn't like men who have no stomach."

After finishing speaking, he stopped looking at the people on the ground and walked up calmly.

Leaving Nie Zhixin on the cold stone steps, listening to the noise from the distant city, after a long while, he gritted his teeth and hammered hard with his fist: "Fuck!"
