octopus don't cry

"I..." My throat became dry for a moment, and then I seemed to wake up, "No, I still have something to do."

He looked at me for a while, didn't hold back, and said flatly: "That's a pity."

I didn't take the elevator down.

I walked up the stairs that I had never walked before, and walked through the 25th floor, as if I wanted to recall the things of so many years carefully.

I was thinking how much the scene just now looked like before.

-

When I walked out of Qi Rui, I was about to call Lin Lin and ask him what he had for lunch so that I could buy groceries and go home.

But I stopped before taking a few steps, because I saw Lu Chang standing on the side of the road with a coat hanging on his arm, looking at me expressionlessly.

I put down my phone.

"Is there a problem"

He looked at me and didn't speak, and eventually I had to speak first.

He suddenly looked at me carefully, and finally stared into my eyes, "Do you like Brother Qi?"

He asked, "Do you still like him?"

I didn't expect him to be so straightforward.

I couldn't speak, and then my expression turned cold, and I said: "This is my private matter, it has nothing to do with you."

"Why doesn't it matter!" He was a little aggressive, his eyes widened, but when he said this, he was obviously stunned again.

After a while, he actually said again: "No, I didn't mean that."

I didn't understand what he was saying and frowned.

He tugged at the buttons of his shirt fretfully.Although he was dressed so formally, he was not imposing. He was still like a college student who had just graduated from society, with a lively personality and integrity.So although I never wanted to stay with him, I couldn't hate him.

There have been frequent glances around me. To be honest, it was a very unwise choice for Lu Chang to block me here. I couldn't help but glance at the green belt, afraid that I would stick out a camera in a while.

"Brother Qi didn't let me say it, but I couldn't help it, so I just said this."

Lu Chang obviously paid attention to the surrounding situation, but ignored it. He stared carefully into my eyes, "Let me tell you, Brother Qi is really my brother, the one who is related by blood."

what!

There seemed to be countless things flashing through my head, I stared at him, and said almost with difficulty: "You, what are you talking about, what do you mean?"

He opened his eyes wide and raised his voice: "You, do you want me to say it! It was Brother Qi and I..."

Before he finished speaking, his expression changed, and he turned around and ran away.I was stunned, but I couldn't move my feet to catch up.And he ran a few steps and turned back, with a look of panic on his face, "Then what, I, I have a girlfriend!"

what?

I was standing on the street, and I hadn't woken up from this strange conversation when suddenly I turned around with a sudden thought.

Qi Ji stood behind me.

He looked at me, car keys in his hands, as if he had just chased him down.

I opened my mouth, and finally said dryly: "Well, Lu Chang is not me..."

"I came to find you."

He interrupted me and came over.

-

I don't know how much he heard the conversation just now, and my heart is also in a mess now, even facing the car window, I didn't speak.

I suddenly remembered what Lin Lin said to me.

"Shen Shen, I once met a group of fishermen. They told me how to catch octopuses. It was very interesting. You know, octopuses are extremely soft and can easily stuff themselves into any corner to avoid attacks. So whether it is a natural enemy or a fisherman , it is difficult to capture it.”

"But it's actually quite simple to capture them."

"Octopuses like to hide, so fishermen put a rope around the mouth of the glass bottle and threw the glass bottle into the sea. When the octopuses saw this shiny little thing, they scrambled to get into the bottle and were easily caught. They are forever defeated by their own talent."

"Shen Shen, you are an octopus."

I was surprised to hear this passage, and then asked him what he meant.

He said nothing, just "You are too sure of your own logic, so many things will be self-righteous."

He talked and talked about my feelings for some reason, "So you should communicate with others more, don't be bored by yourself all the time, it's getting more and more boring."

This passage touched me deeply.But when I think about it now, it's because of Qi Ji.

I was thinking, if there is a person who never expresses emotions, never agrees with good or bad, never rejects or accepts.We lack communication, so I can only guess by myself, and the more I guess, the more hopeful I feel.In the end, like a frog in warm water, he was beaten to the ground by Lu Chang and an engaged man, and fled in a hurry.

So there is no need for Lin Lin to say these words.

So what if Lu Chang told me those things.

I have changed and am afraid.

-

"What are you looking at?" He suddenly said at the red light.

Since I got in the car, I have been looking out the window expressionlessly, as if I don't want to face him.Now that he speaks, I don't have to say anything, I can only say vaguely, "It's okay."

Hearing this, he cast a glance at me, with a calm expression, and turned back again.

But he just remained silent for a while, with his hands on the steering wheel, he looked extraordinarily slender and handsome, but what he said hit the nail on the head, "Did Lu Chang say something to you?"

Before he finished speaking, my heart skipped a beat.In fact, he should have guessed it, he is so smart, but he still wants to ask me.

I turned my head and looked straight ahead, "He didn't say anything to me." Before I finished speaking, I added: "Oh, he asked me to come to you less."

I lied calmly and saw him frowning from the reflection in the car window.

-

The car stopped in front of a restaurant.The restaurant doesn't look like much, the place is neither big nor small.But after entering the door, I feel that the layout has a different flavor.

"Why, I don't remember"

He seemed to be very familiar with this place, and dragged me to a place in the back on the second floor, with a window next to it.He saw that I didn't understand, so the expression on his face finally became a little helpless, "It is true that the decoration has been re-decorated here, but the taste has not changed."

I felt vaguely familiar, and sat down by the window.

Later, when the food was served, the memory came alive because I saw the entire lake of University A. This small restaurant was built next to the lake, and the name was "Banhu".

Speaking of which, this is actually the place where Shen Yi and I often come to.Back then, I was the first to discover it, and I thought it was good and cheap, so I often dragged Shen Yi here to eat meat.

He and Qi Ji only came once.

He probably took another road, so I didn't realize that I was near University A.

The restaurant has two floors. I don't know whether it is intentional or not. My current location is my favorite at the beginning.After all, there were two people at the time, and they were both men, so it's not easy to date blatantly.So I like to come to this relatively hidden location, where I can show my feelings openly, and when I look up and see the entire artificial lake of University A, I feel brighter all of a sudden.

But I just glanced at it unintentionally, and suddenly found a coffee shop in the diagonally lower corner.

It was the family I met Qi Ji back then.

I suddenly didn't know what it was like.

Turning around, I found that he was also looking at me, and I didn't know what emotion was in his eyes.

He took the menu first, but put it aside, and asked the waiter to serve a few dishes.When the dishes came, I realized that they were all the dishes I used to cook back then.

Rather than saying that he knew it, it would be better to say that I still remember it.

There was no accident during the meal, and the two of us had nothing to talk about, but maybe it was really a "breakup meal", and the atmosphere was unprecedentedly good. He helped me pick up some dishes from time to time, and occasionally introduced a few words in a low voice-I have been talking for a long time Didn't come, the dishes have been updated again.Whether it was intentional or not, he avoided all spicy dishes.

I can't eat spicy food, which is one of my few taboos.

"What's going to happen next"

"That's it, stay in the bar."

"...Alright."

However, after a while, he raised his head and asked again: "Will you always be in City B?"

I was stunned for a moment, but I still planned to tell the truth: "Not necessarily. After Jingxuan's affairs are over, I may stay for a month or two, and then go out for a walk." I did not forget to promise the boss.

"Out of the province?"

I thought about it, "Probably."

He scooped up a bowl of soup for me, stopped talking, and didn't look strange.It's just that I think his face seems to be getting paler, and his spirit is not good, but the edges and corners are blurred in the mist of the food, showing a gentleness for no reason.I paused with the hand holding the chopsticks, and took the soup in silence.

Halfway through the meal, the phone rang, and I froze for a moment, only to remember that I forgot to inform Lin Lin that I would not be going back at noon.I quickly picked it up, got up and stood aside.

"Lin Lin, I'm sorry I forgot to tell you, I'm outside now."

"Ah, it's okay. Didn't you come here because you bought it before? I just called and asked."

I breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the dishes were prepared in the kitchen before, "Then you can eat alone at noon, and I will go back after lunch."

"En." Lin Lin didn't ask me what I was doing outside, and I didn't want to.He has never wanted me to be with Qi Ji. He was so happy when I went on a trip five years ago. Now that I am back, he is also watching closely. The phone call from G City is enough to see Qi Ji. heartache.

But I didn't intend to hang up yet. After hesitating for a while, I said, "Lin Lin, Xiaoshang came to see me."

There was an instant silence on the other end of the phone.

I felt a little distressed, and then said: "It's okay, I didn't say anything. I won't be interested in things you don't want to say. Just remember, brother Shen will definitely be on your side, okay?"

"……it is good."

I grip the phone tightly.

He seemed to take a deep breath, but finally said nothing, "Then I'll eat first." Then hung up the phone.
