Promised period

The last time I saw the ring was such a transparent night, such a quiet night.As long as she thinks about that night, Song Ke's heart can't help but twist into a ball.

At that time, his shoulder was injured, and he shouldn't be in a hurry to go to work, but he insisted on not asking for a day off.

At first, I didn’t feel so uncomfortable, until I walked into the empty office, received a bounce letter with an invalid email address, and saw the gray profile picture that would never light up in the system, I realized as if I had passed away: Ah, it turns out that Chen Jue left already.

Where did Director Chen go?

Colleagues would inquire at first, but every time they asked, Song Ke remained silent.After more times, everyone has a tacit understanding. The two bosses seem to have turned their faces. The director Chen who is generous, smartly dressed, and often invites everyone to drink coffee will never come back.

Boss Song is really a person who cannot be judged by his appearance, and everyone slandered him in their hearts.At any rate, he was also a partner who started a business together, but he didn't look sad at all after they separated, and he was as hard-hearted as he was.Only Cheng Yi'an was exceptionally silent in those few days, and he didn't mention Chen Jue at all.

Song Ke smiled and said, "Don't be so careful, Chen Jue and I are still in touch every day."

"Really?"

"of course."

Chen Jue was indeed still in contact with Song Ke, calling during the day and texting at night.He has always cherished words like gold, but he was stupid because of Song Ke. He sent a long text message, and he didn't know that Song Ke had never read it.

Every night when she couldn't sleep, Song Ke just lay on the bed and read the news.It was so long, longer than the screen, he put the phone far away, looked at the group of words vaguely, stared blankly, couldn't see anything clearly, and dared not see anything clearly.

Later, I finally saw Chen Jue at the gate of the park.At five o'clock in the morning, he stopped Song Ke outside the west gate. When he pulled his arm, his ten fingers were red from the cold. He didn't know how long he had been waiting like an idiot.

"Why are you here again?"

"There is no one at home, and you refused to answer my calls, so I had to come here and wait."

Song Ke temporarily stayed in the hotel, but Chen Jue was kept in the dark.He seemed to have not slept for several days and nights, his eyes were red and bloodshot, his chin was covered with blue beard stubble, and his former high spirits disappeared without a trace.

"You moved away from home?" He still called it home.

Song Ke's shoulder injury was not healed, she gritted her teeth and brushed his hand away, her forehead was dizzy from the pain, "Stop harassing me, I don't even know how to hide from you."

"Song Ke!"

It was still dark, and there were only the two of them on the quiet road.Song Ke's arm was tightly held by him, and he couldn't get away, so he could only pull out one finger at a time, wishing to break off all ten of his fingers.

It can't go on like this anymore, it really can't go on like this anymore.

"What do I have to say before you let me go?" Turning around and pointing at his eyes, Song Ke pointed viciously, "Chen Jue, you are so selfish! I told you I don't feel for you and want to start a new life, you Why are you still stalking! You keep saying that you love me, and that's why you love me?"

Chen Jue was so scolded that he couldn't answer back, and stood there numbly, unable to move for a while.He turned his head cruelly and left, only his own tall shadow under the dim streetlight.But the footsteps behind him quickly caught up. Chen Jue's shadow was thin and tall, and his red hands tightly hugged his shoulders: "Can you tell me why?"

In the ears, every word seems to have been quenched with blood.

Song Ke gritted her teeth and clenched her hands, facing the two headlights behind her and looking straight into his eyes: "Didn't I already tell you? How long are you going to lie to yourself, and you won't let it go until the trouble can't end?" no."

All that should be said has been said, Song Ke doesn't know why he came today, knowing that he will only be insulted.But Chen Jue came here so desperately, he let go of his face and airs.

After a moment of silence, just for a moment, he took out the ring box in front of Song Ke.

"I have thought a lot about going to Indonesia this time. I know that we grew up in different environments, so you have always been dissatisfied with me. You said that I have a bad temper, unreasonable, and work ability is not as good as yours. Admit it. I know that I have a lot of problems, and I have been spoiled by my mother since I was a child, and she often said that my young master has a bad temper, but I am changing, really, you believe me. "

His voice was choked and solemn: "I've thought about it carefully. If you don't like my family background, I don't have to give up everything in the family. I am willing to fight with you, even if I live a life of hardship. As long as I am with you Together, whether I sleep on a wooden bed or Simmons is the same for me. I will give all those cars and houses to my sister. I can ride a bicycle, eat instant noodles for three meals a day, and rent a house with you for a lifetime. From now on, the two of us started from scratch, and I will not let you feel the slightest inequality, as long as you are willing to give me another chance."

Song Ke gritted his teeth and opened his eyes when the two beams of car lights not far away shone, even he himself didn't know how he did it.Looking at Chen Jue so firmly, his feet are floating, like a person floating in the water, without any real feeling, but the words are still clear when he speaks: "Why are you so naive, I just don't love you, I just don't want to I will fight with you again."

Chen Jue looked at him with a pained and astonished expression.

"Who in this world would hate money." Song Ke turned sideways and pointed to the Pioneer Park next to him, "Everyone here is dreaming of getting rich, and I am no exception. Think about it, as long as you can bear it, I will Break up with you? I'll leave a good gold mine behind? I'm sorry, I can't take it anymore, I can't stand it for a day. I'd rather start over by myself than live under the same roof with you. I really suffer It’s enough for you to be so superior, enough for you to smoke that kind of cigarette of unknown origin, put on airs in front of me, and show off your prestige, enough for your self-righteous posture all day long. To tell you the truth, if your surname is not Chen, I won't even look at you, and I don't even think about taking off your last name, what are you?"

I don't know how many times I have typed these words.Since we broke up, I have been unable to sleep all night, thinking about these unfeeling words, word by word, bit by bit, thinking about it with my heart open, I only hope that Chen Jue can let go of it sooner and start a new life sooner.Song Ke's tone was sonorous and forceful, but her limbs were so numb that she was about to lose consciousness, only one heart was still reminding herself with pain that she was still alive and could not die.

I can't die, but from now on, I don't know how long it will take to get used to the days without you...

Chen Jue's face turned blue when he heard it, and it took a long time to come back to his senses.He raised his head, his face was full of despair, but he knelt down on one knee in front of Song Ke.

There is still snow on the ground, I don't know how much ice it is.

He held the box with one hand, opened it with the other hand, and presented the ring to Song Ke: "Just as a commemoration of our three years of relationship, can you keep it?"

"Is it interesting?" Song Ke asked back, "Is it interesting to do this?"

Chen Jue's voice was low and hoarse, revealing a self-deprecating self-deprecating desperation: "I just can't imagine that you will accept other people's marriage proposals in the future. If you keep it, our relationship will be considered to have a result. Song Ke, just treat it as a marriage proposal." Have pity on me, don't let me live these three years like a joke."

The simple but flawless two rings shone brightly under the light of the car lights.Song Ke took it out without thinking about it, and threw it away in front of him, "Don't take out the children's playthings to disgust me."

Chen Jue almost jumped into the grass to look for it.

There was no light in the dark and cold corner, and he was hunched inside, his tall body curled up, the light from the phone trembling slightly with his hands.

Song Ke turned around and left.

If I look at it for another second, I am afraid that I will soften my heart.

I don’t remember how I got home at that time, I just remember that the long long street was silent and cold, the thin ice and snow on the ground had not melted, and it was gray everywhere.And Chen Jue never caught up again, only remembering the two beams of headlights behind him, silently and resolutely lighting his way, as if Chen Jue was still afraid of him falling, and still doing everything he could to love him.

Linjiang used to be a very warm city.

When they were 27 years old, they met each other here. At the beginning, they competed blindly, tit for tat, and neither of them would say that they liked each other first.They went to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to register together, huddled together in a narrow rental house to keep warm, went to the electronic city to buy second-hand computers, and built the company's shelf bit by bit.

When they were 28 years old, they always bickered over trivial matters, because they cared too much about each other, testing each other's bottom line again and again, lest the other party like themselves less.It wasn't until Chen Jue went to his hometown to find him during the Chinese New Year that he finally opened up his heart and began to fall in love secretly.

28, 29, [-], their three years passed by in a flash, like hopscotch when they were young, and they made one frame by jumping with their hands behind their backs.They have been facing each other day and night for three years, it's not that they never thought that there would be a day of separation, it's just that they never thought that it was in such a heartbreaking way.Song Ke thought that even if they broke up, they would still be friends, and they could still see each other when they wanted to, and they could still be by Chen Juexiao's side.

He kept walking like that, the lampposts receding one by one, dizzy, the tall buildings on both sides fell backwards in the blurred vision, pressing on him, making him breathless.He was afraid, so he had to hold on to the tree. When he got home, he found that the wound had opened again, and his shoulders were covered with cold blood.

Later, I never received a text message from Chen Jue again. Until the day of the accident, Chen Nian used his mobile phone to contact Song Ke: My brother is in the hospital for emergency treatment. Come and see him for the last time. Hurry up.

For a long time afterwards, Song Ke would involuntarily look into the grass when passing by the west gate.Once at a company party, Cheng Yi'an laughed at him: "Can I pick up money in the grass? I don't usually see you showing any interest in my potted plants."

The spicy hot pot is bubbling and bubbling, and the heat is so hot that people can't open their eyes.Song Ke only cared about eating, without raising her head, and said, "Your potted plants are really worthless, why don't you plant some lettuce and spring onions, at least they can be used as dishes."

Cheng Yi'an sighed lightly, with a disappointed expression on his face: "It's not that I didn't raise it well, it's that you don't know how to live. It would be great if Chen Jue didn't leave. He also likes these flowers and plants as much as I do. Last year, he gave me a pot of precious flowers. Clivia. This kid... just withdraw his shares as soon as he puts it in a good way, really disrespectful."

Song Ke was so choked by the smoke that she wanted to cry, but she held her chopsticks and laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten her waist: "You have grown bean sprouts from Clivia, and you said it is very expensive."

Cheng Yi'an didn't speak anymore, just looked at him, silently.

He drank too much at the party that day, didn't say hello to anyone, and ran back to the west gate of the park in silence.He has rummaged through that small area, the nails are covered with mud, and the whole body is dirty.

It was not until late at night that he wiped his face carelessly and walked home.While walking, I thought in a daze, I can't find it anymore, the ring, Chen Jue, I can't find it anymore.

But today God took a nap and gave him another chance to see these two rings again.He crouched by the bed and stared at them almost greedily, his forehead burned for a while.

Like the shadow of the moon in the water, the ring swayed gently inside as soon as the ornament was picked up, and the ripple-like platinum chain rippled.

The chatting and laughing outside suddenly started again. It turned out that only half an hour had passed, but he felt that the days were like years.

Zhong Wenting speaks with ups and downs, and his voice is light and coquettish.Song Ke got a headache when she heard it, gritted her teeth and stood up straight. It took a long time to adjust her state.

At least not tonight...

Don't give Chen Jue to anyone.

His mind was filled with the past for a while, and the present for a while, and he didn't even realize that his emotions had lost control.

The moment the door was pushed open, Zhong Wenting almost jumped up in fright: "Where did you come from?!"

Song Ke's expression became more and more dazed by the shouting, and she stopped at the door of the room after saying "excuse me", and it took a long time to remember to explain to Zhong Wenting: "Oh, I fell asleep in there just now, sorry, I forgot to say hello to you .”

The living room fell into silence, and Zhong Wenting couldn't react for a moment.Chen Jue half leaned on the sofa, looking straight at him with his eyes.He was terrified of being stared at, and his mind was confused, but he still cheered himself up foolishly: If the enemy does not move, I will not move.If the enemy does not move, I will not move.

"What do you do if you don't want to be misunderstood?"

"Uh, it's too stuffy in the room."

Very weak explanation, his throat was dry after finishing speaking, "I still have a few words to tell you about Chen Jue."

Chen Jue said coldly, "What are you talking about?"

He was silent for a while, then turned to the dumbfounded Zhong Wenting: "Well, have you finished chatting? Let's go after chatting, it's too late to take a taxi."

After I finished speaking, my soul almost went out of my body, because I also realized how stupid it was.

Chen Jue felt something was wrong, and frowned slightly: "What's wrong with you, why are you uncomfortable?"

He said, "No, I just have something to tell you."

This is the same sentence back and forth.

Zhong Wenting's expression was slightly sullen, because the kindness of underwater rescue was not easy to show up: "I made an appointment with Chen Jue the day before yesterday, let's talk about chatting, why can't I be here when you are here?"

"I know you have an appointment, but I came first."

Obviously his voice was soft and peaceful, but Zhong Wenting could hear a frightening loneliness from it, and even vaguely felt that Song Ke was not referring to this time.

It is true that not only this time, but in this life, Song Ke came earlier than anyone else.Although Chen Jue was occasionally off key, Song Ke believed him when he said a word.He said: "I have lived for 28 years for the first time to understand what love is like, because of you."

Zhong Wenting turned his head to look at Chen Jue, but Chen Jue didn't even look at him, but looked at Song Ke with a serious expression.

Song Ke didn't eat all day, and swallowed several antidepressants at night. At this moment, she was surprised that she could still hold on, and she just stood quietly at the door of the bedroom.

"What are you holding in your hand?"

It was too late to hide my hands back.Chen Jue walked up to him and pulled out his arm. After seeing clearly, his voice suddenly became sharp: "Who told you to move?"

"you listen to me--"

Chen Jue's movements were rough, and his strength was so great that he almost fell to the ground.Song Ke's wrists hurt from being pulled, and her stomach contracted intermittently, but she still had the last bit of strength to stay on the spot, holding the ornament firmly in the palms of her hands.
