like drinking ice
Chapter 18
"Are you crazy?" I looked at him speechlessly: "He didn't tell me anything, and you are going to break up with him? Are you still breaking up on the phone?"
"It's not because of you, it's because I wanted to share." He put on a nonchalant look, and gave me a piece of fish: "This fish is delicious."
I didn't mean to be involved in this matter, but I just feel that his handling method is a bit inappropriate.
"But you have only been together for a long time?" I couldn't help asking.
He laughed.He raised a hand and waved it in front of me. His hand was as beautiful as a human, with slender fingers and white skin.
"Including today, a total of five days."
His attitude was so frank that I didn't know what to say.
"Don't worry about these things, frowning, just like a little old man." He reached out and pressed my eyebrows: "Come on, smile."
I'm not in the mood to laugh.
I'm not kind enough to save all sentient beings, I'm not that worried about Ning Yue, I just don't like his attitude in this matter.If there is a need to break up, it is considered a formal relationship. Has anyone broken up after only five days of formal relationship?I originally thought that he was so frivolous in his private life because he didn't meet someone he likes, but now I'm a little confused.
In my heart, I really hope that he can live a better life in the future and find someone who can be with him for a lifetime.The position he will stay in in the future is too lonely, and the high place is extremely cold, and it cannot be warmed by a one-night stand.I can't be that person to him, but I really hope that he can meet that person.
Although I like him, I am still his friend for 15 years.
The Zheng family and the Li family are totally two extremes in teaching their sons. Although the Li family is domineering, they are training Li Xiu completely according to the standards of successors. Therefore, Li Xiuzi has strong self-control and is able to endure hardships. Many people expected him to go to school for a shorter period of time than the average person, and he was thrown into the Southwest Army as an adult. Although his temper was unbearable to many people, no one would say that he was a playboy who couldn't bear hardships.When I was at home on vacation when I was a child, I found that Li Zhurong usually kept him in the house, but once I found out that he was addicted to something, I picked it up and threw it aside, and I was not allowed to touch it again.The only time I ever saw Li Zhurong teach him the principles of life is to say "you can't have weaknesses".
In contrast, Zheng Ao grew up in a honeypot.He learned martial arts, boxing, playing the piano, clubbing all night when he was abroad, playing cars, riding horses, no matter what he did, the Zheng family never stopped him.If it is said that Li Xiu was raised according to the standard of a perfect heir, then the Zheng family has no standard, let him grow up on his own, what he looks like, the heir will look like.Fortunately, he was very smart since he was a child, and he was never obsessed with anything, including feelings.
This also caused him to grow into what he is now.
He has a high IQ, is also very good at doing things, and is in good health. He has broken a few punching bags.He just likes comfortable and expensive things, enjoys them without any worries, and uses the best of everything, rolling in the mud like Li Xiu doing recruit training, in his opinion, he is full of food.
When I went in to take a shower, he was already lying on his back on the bed, staring at the ceiling in a daze. When I came out, he was still lying on the bed, rolling around, turning the quilt into dried pickles.Seeing me come out, she complained plausibly: "Why isn't Xiao Lang's bed soft at all?"
I have been with him for more than ten years, but I still can't change the habit of trying to reason with him.
"Sleeping on a bed that is too soft is bad for your spine." I sat on the edge of the bed and began to brush my hair.
He snorted twice in disapproval, and kicked the quilt aside: "It's so hot."
I turned the air conditioner down: "The more you move, the hotter you get."
He has a lower than average tolerance for anything that doesn't suit him—whether it's temperature or clothing or whatever.So I often scream hot when I have nothing to do.
When I was leaning on the bedside to read the materials, he just fell to the side alone, not knowing what he was thinking.
I had to go to work the next day, so I didn't bother to take care of him, so I poured him some water and took off his glasses to sleep.
He was still asleep when I got up, so I tried to be as light as possible.Fortunately, he was lying on the bed and had no intention of waking up. He walked in a hurry in the morning, fried eggs for him, warmed the milk, and hurried out with breakfast. I don’t know if he will be hungry everywhere after waking up. Find something to eat.
I kept answering the phone all morning. In order not to disturb Professor Qian's rest, many people first called the office to ask questions. I answered one by one, saying that Professor Qian was fine.
In fact, Professor Qian is a very nice person. He has a scholarly demeanor. Even if he is not full of peaches and plums, he is also a fair and peaceful elder in the legal profession.When the newly revised "Lawyer Law" was promulgated, the New Bank of China was the first to eat crabs. After that, several law firms changed from the original partnership system to the newly introduced special partnership system. It was just a reshuffle, the original main partners emigrated, and only lawyers Huang and Bai remained. It was Professor Qian who took over this matter and found the then-splendid lawyer Su to come over as a partner.At that time, I was taking a professional class taught by Professor Qian. The students in the class knew that he was setting up an office, and asked him to explain in detail to satisfy their curiosity. Professor Qian also said that the threshold for registration capital was high.I was just an adult at the time, and Li Zhurong transferred a large amount of money and real estate to my name. I couldn't even meet him, so I asked his assistant to tell him that I didn't want it. The assistant surnamed Yuan was like a door god. It's Mr. Li's meaning."
At that time, with such a large fortune in my hands, I couldn't sleep with worry.At that time, the real estate market was booming, and I also knew the laws of economics. If the money remained in my hands, it would only depreciate in value.
Thinking about it now, Professor Qian must have been taken aback by me at the time.A college student who usually keeps silent suddenly ran over and said that he wanted to invest in his firm, which was simply whimsical.
But in the end, Professor Qian still let me join the team, but in his name, saying that it was a junior from a family friend who invested, not me.They just signed an agreement with me in private, and Lawyer Su and the others were kept in the dark.
As for the internship, I won it myself by relying on my judicial examination certificate and my grades during school.
Xu Xu, my father, once hoped that I would study physics, but I knew that my talent was not high, and it might be difficult for me to achieve great success, which made a university professor die.I study the law because I want to become a social elite like Lawyer Su. One day I can stand upright in front of the Li family, and then give them back what they gave me, and never owe them anything.
I know that in principle, the Li family has a sense of nurturing for me, the private school I went to when I was a child, the education expenses, living expenses over the years...
I will pay them back, with interest.
If there must be a father, Xu Xu is enough.
I don't want to owe anyone.
As soon as twelve o'clock arrived, I went to knock on the door of Lawyer Su's office.
Lawyer Su was sorting out the documentary evidence for next week's court, I went in and asked, "Lawyer Su, do you want to order lunch?"
He didn't lift his head: "Are you busy at noon?"
Sometimes being too smart is not a good thing.
"Someone in my family..." I tried to choose my words: "I have to go back and see."
Attorney Su finally raised his eyes and looked at me.
"In a hurry? Want to borrow my car?"
"No, no, no." I quickly waved my hand: "I can make a call, and I can come back before work."
I don't know why, but I always feel that the way Lawyer Su looked at me at the end has a feeling of "I can't see that you would rather be squashed and take the subway to go to work, but now you are willing to take a taxi".
The door of the house was left open.
When I was at the door, I felt that something was wrong, but because I was delayed in buying vegetables, I was in a hurry to go home and cook, so I didn't pay attention to it. When I opened the door, I was shocked by the scene in front of me.
The sofa, coffee table, tables and chairs in my living room, as well as the entire kitchen countertop, storage cabinets, window sills, as well as the floor and walls, have all changed.
The floor is covered with a thin dark carpet, the walls are beige, and the small living room is full of brand new sofas, coffee tables, air conditioners, and floor lamps. I only glanced at the kitchen counter and saw a row of Western kitchen knives also have a huge oven.As for the boxing bag hanging from the balcony, it was easy for me to tell who did it.
"Xiao Lang is back..." As soon as I walked through the bedroom, Zheng Ao, who was wearing a nightgown and laying on a round sofa-like thing, greeted me proudly: "Is the home much more comfortable? "
Around him, there were three young men in suits and leather shoes sitting on the ground.Each of them was holding a notebook, and they couldn't use it on the narrow balcony. They were simply stretched, but I looked at them suspiciously, and they all smiled and nodded at me politely.It's just a bit funny because of the scene it's in.
I just can't get mad at strangers when they are around.
"If you want to talk about things, come to the living room to talk." The balcony really can't accommodate so many giant Buddhas, not to mention that Zheng Ao occupies most of the area with a stretched figure, and the rest are too embarrassed to compete with him.
"It's good to bask in the sun here." Zheng Ao sat cross-legged on the soft sofa, typing on his notebook: "What did you just say, who is in charge of the risk assessment?"
A young man silently raised his hand, and the other two moved aside tacitly, giving him room to open the notebook.
This scene was so sad that I couldn't bear to watch it, so I went into the kitchen to cook.
By the time I finished cooking the braised pork, those young men were already standing at the door putting on their shoes.
"Aren't you going to stay for dinner?" I was a little puzzled. Although these young people looked more like his subordinates than friends, Zheng Ao wouldn't be able to drive them away during the meal.
"Let's go out to eat." The young man with a striped tie who looked more mature explained to me: "Come to the meeting after eating."
I glanced reproachfully at Zheng Ao, who had already sat on the sofa and poked the cold seaweed with chopsticks without hearing anything.
Ten minutes later, three young men appeared at the door with takeaway bags.
"Sorry, there are no seats in the restaurant." They treated me very kindly.
"It's okay, let's eat together. I'll move chairs for you."
The whole lunch was happily spent in the polite question and answer between the three young people and me, and Zheng Ao's "don't eat my braised pork".
I have never seen such a type among Zheng Ao's friends—although they are subordinates, but letting them come to the meeting for a meeting is basically a good friendship.These three young people should be from good family backgrounds, and they act very gracefully, but they are very friendly. I pour water for them, and I have to thank them all in unison.Zheng Ao, on the other hand, looked like no master, and kept communicating with them with sentences like "Do you have no hands?"
After lunch, I was about to go back to work, but Attorney Su sent me a text message, saying that he was not in the office in the afternoon, and I could do some paper work at home instead of going to the office. My colleagues thought I was going out with him.
I had no choice but to reply "Thank you, Lawyer Su".
Their meeting lasted until the afternoon, mainly the other two youths were making statements, and the one who seemed more mature was making additions, because there were no coffee beans at home, and they ordered coffee once in the middle.I already knew that the mature young man was called Yu Jun. They seemed to be doing software engineering. They were preparing for a project, and Zheng Ao was the decision maker.
The afternoon lasted until they said goodbye politely.
I got up halfway to look at the soup on the stove, and found that Zheng Ao's cell phone was still left where it was yesterday.
I actually like this kind of afternoon very much, he does his thing, I do mine, without interfering with each other, at most come over to make a fuss next to me when pouring coffee.Don't be too close, I will be nervous if I am too close to him, and don't be too far away, don't need to be out of my sight.
The best distance for secret love is like this, because I already know that it is impossible to be together, so as long as I stay in the same space with him, know that he is also here, occasionally sneak a glance, say a few words, and I am happy enough extreme.
This is the talent of people surnamed Zheng.
He had a natural ability to sense my feelings of alienating him without a teacher, and then instinctively found a way to deal with it.
No matter how bad the situation is, he broke in unreasonably first, relied on me, and pestered me, as if I was the person he cared about most.Let me gain the respect of his friends, and even break up with the person I am dating without hesitation, relying on me wholeheartedly.He knew I would forgive him if he just got along with me and didn't even have to ask me why I was mad.Continue to be his own Xiao Lang as before.
The first time he did this, I thought he had a crush on me.
The second time he did it, I thought he cared about me.
Now I don't dare to guess anything.
He's like a kite-flying guy, if you're too close, run farther away.Fly away, tighten the string again, I am the kite in his hand, he can't let me go, but he won't fall in love with me either.
And all of this may be his instinctive reaction.Just like I never wonder if he knows I like him, he probably never defines our relationship.
It's just that he forgot that I am a living person, not a kite.The kite has strings tied to its body, so it won't hurt.A thread was tied to my heart, which pulled my internal organs, and with a slight movement, my flesh and blood were torn apart.Joy, anger, sorrow, and joy are completely involuntary.
That's why I have to give up.
"It's not because of you, it's because I wanted to share." He put on a nonchalant look, and gave me a piece of fish: "This fish is delicious."
I didn't mean to be involved in this matter, but I just feel that his handling method is a bit inappropriate.
"But you have only been together for a long time?" I couldn't help asking.
