Followed

20.

Tonight's performance was also on the itinerary of Wu Shuang's company's team building. He was sitting in the front row with a bunch of colleagues, bored. He didn't expect to see Bie Xu on stage.

A female colleague from the company was sitting in the front row, and she just said that she wanted to go back early, because staying up late is not good for the skin.Right now, they are all working hard, chatting and discussing, it is worth seeing a handsome guy for a night.

Sitting in the back, Wu Shuang could hear clearly. He watched Bie Xu playing the guitar and singing on the stage, which attracted everyone's attention, as if he was back in college.

He is well aware of Bie Xu's charm, and when he was young and frivolous, he would do anything for it and commit irreparable mistakes.

Wu Shuang watched Bie Xu leave, hurriedly explained to her colleagues, and chased after him through the crowd.

When he got close, he realized that there was another person standing beside Bie Xu, who seemed to have no intention of avoiding it.

"He is you..." Wu Shuang asked hesitantly as his eyes moved back and forth between the two.

"Friend." Bie Xu interrupted neatly, and asked directly, "What do you want from me?"

Wu Shuang didn't want to talk about the past in front of an unrelated person, and he knew the inside story, so I wondered if there was a qualifier in front of Biesu's "friend".

The two sides confronted each other for a while, Bie Xu didn't give him too much time to hesitate, and he was already a little rude when he spoke: "It's okay to reminisce about the past, we probably have nothing to say."

"What happened before... I'm sorry." Wu Shuang's belated apology was indeed sincere from the heart.It's a pity that things have changed, and when it comes to the original mistakes, no matter whether it is the repenting party or the forgiving party, it seems that they have no effort to investigate clearly.

Bie Xu was not moved at all, nodded: "I see."

Wu Shuang opened her mouth, thousands of words came to her lips, and finally she could only close her mouth in vain.

He repeated: "I'm really sorry."

"You don't have to apologize to me now." Bie Xu was merciless, "What happened back then has no effect on me now, I don't plan to hold you accountable, I just hope you won't appear in front of me."

He hit the nail on the head and said: "But you can't get over the hurdle in your heart. Even if I say forgive a hundred times today, you will still remember how unbearable you were once."

Wu Shuang's face turned pale, and he murmured for a moment, unable to hold back a word for a long time.

In the end, Bie Xu still kept some affection. They used to be good classmates, even if they weren't close, they didn't have any deep hatred.

In the final analysis, Wu Shuang just went astray for a while, and he is not a villain with a heinous crime in essence.

However, Bie Xu didn't turn his head to comfort the other party. In the end, he could only say: "And I didn't intend to forgive. I said that when I graduated, we will return to the bridge and return to the road, and we will never see each other again."

After leaving these words, he tilted his head and greeted Wen Er softly: "Let's go."

Wu Shuang watched their retreating backs in place, feeling indescribably complicated.

Sour, bitter, self-pity, and a kind of relief that I knew earlier.

He used to be envious of Bie Xu's unrestrained and unrestrained, but he didn't know when, this envy gradually turned into jealousy.

Maybe it was caused by his unbearable self-esteem when he was young, or maybe it was the first time he tasted inferiority. In a single thought, he pushed Bie Xu to the edge of the cliff.Unexpectedly, the other party accepted it calmly and walked steadily along the cliff step by step. On the contrary, he, the instigator, was trembling by the side.

After everyone entered the society, he truly felt the humiliation of being silent, and the filth that was hard to guard against. Looking back on the old days, it suddenly dawned on him that that bit of unwillingness was nothing.

Putting himself in his shoes, he was finally able to appreciate the situation he was in at the beginning.

It's just that a person who always sits on a high place, even if he is pulled down with sinister intentions, his posture when he falls is still beautiful.

Wu Shuang tried her best, but she was only worthy of a mediocre life, while Bie Xu, on the other hand, was still unrestrained, just like a young man.

Wen Er could feel that Bie Xu was in a bad mood.

He tried his best to reduce the sense of presence at the side, but he was not deaf, he heard a general idea of ​​Bie Xu's past, and roughly pieced together the direction of the story.

Wen Er carefully observed Bie Xu's expression, and went over the comforting words in his heart a few times, but he rejected them all.

He only hated himself for being too stupid, unable to speak decent words, and could only allow the silence to spread.

Seeing that tonight was about to end like this, Wen Er mustered up his courage and held back Bie Xu before he pushed open the door.

Bie Xu turned his head, and saw Wen Er tugging at the corner of his clothes, looking at him pitifully.

"You can tell me if you're in a bad mood. I'm very strict and won't reveal your secrets." Wen Er stared nervously into Bie Xu's eyes, and then quickly added, "If it's convenient."

Bie Xu sighed: "I'm not in a bad mood because of the past, but because I'm angry that he ruined a good night."

After singing and chatting, the atmosphere is all there, what a good opportunity to confess.The beautiful scenery on a good day, the right time and place, did not expect such a big trouble in "Renhe".

Not seeing each other for many years, Wu Shuang jumped out at this critical moment whether it was sooner or later, and brought a sad old story along with it, it was simply something that should not be mentioned.

Bie Xu's whole body was simmering with fire, and he still had no way to vent it, and he couldn't say anything good when he opened his mouth.

Wen Er listened to his explanation, and nodded obediently on his face, thinking in his heart, it's no wonder, just looking for excuses.

Seeing his perfunctory expression, Bie Xu admitted with some amusement: "Okay, there is also a reason for that bad thing."

He thought for a while and said, "If you want to know the details, I'll tell you later."

Bie Xu really turned the past into a bedtime story, and the plot is bizarre enough, and the development is very bloody.

"When I was in my sophomore year, a girl chased me. I refused a few times, but she insisted. The girl was very nice. I didn't want her to waste time on me, so I came out to her. She expressed her understanding at the time, He also wished me well, unexpectedly a few days later, someone suddenly hung up on me on the bbs of our school, saying that I am gay and cheating on feelings.”

"It can't be that girl!" Wen Er's eyes widened, unable to accept it.

After thinking about it, he tentatively guessed: "Is it that person just now?"

"Yes." Bie Xu nodded, "He posted that I was gay, and he even pursued him. He didn't like men so he refused. I didn't expect me to turn around and chase other girls. He did justice and hung me out. Hope others don't fall for it."

"Wow—this is really—" Wen Er couldn't find words to describe his mood.

Of course he believed in Bie Xu's character, so he felt aggrieved that Bie Xu had suffered such a baseless accusation.

"Why did he do this?"

"Who knows? He seems to like the girl. Maybe he really believes he's doing justice."

Wen Er's eyes were red with anger: "Then you didn't do anything wrong, why should you be splashed with dirty water for no reason?"

Bie Xu's face was calm, he could talk about the past calmly now, and even smiled consolingly.

He pinched a strand of wet hair that hadn't been wiped off Wen Er's forehead, and said in a rather contemptuous tone: "Anyway, I also went back and left him a message 'I'm gay, but I didn't chase you', which made him angry for three days He didn't sleep well, and the followers on the post were laughing at him."

Seeing Wen Er's eyes widen, filled with righteous indignation, Bie Xu reached out to grab the towel from the side and put it on his head.

"I'm so angry, I'm not angry anymore."

Wen Er poked out a pair of eyes from the towel, with a faint glimmer of water.

"This kind of person is too bad. Why did you get out of the closet in front of the whole school? You didn't provoke him, so even if he is scolded, it's his own fault!"

"Yes, he is very bad." Bie Xu rubbed his hair with a smile, throwing out a string of water droplets, "He was scolded at his own fault."

Wen Er suddenly reached out and pulled the towel off his head.He didn't know how to swear, and couldn't think of other words. He stared at Bie Xu for a long time, and then he was so angry that he put the towel back on.

He said in a low voice: "Don't repeat what I said, let me hear some other curses. I'm so angry!"

Bie Xu was so amused by his request that his hand holding his hair gradually trembled, and finally he collapsed on the bed laughing, clutching his stomach and yelling "Ouch--".

Wen Er realized later, she was angry at first, and then she was pulled by Bie Xu, and she couldn't help laughing along with her.

He opened his mouth for a while, and then tried his best to close his facial muscles, frowning and muttering "He is really annoying!", not knowing what expression to put on.

With great difficulty, Bie Xu found the space and slowed down. Seeing Wen Er's divided expression, he lay back on the bed in a second, pinched the quilt tightly with one hand, and wiped his tears tremblingly with the other.

"You really...don't...whoops—you made me laugh..."

Wen Er laughed for a while, and returned to seriousness.

He said seriously: "You are not wrong, there is someone who is too vicious, please try to avoid dealing with him in the future."

Wen Er spoke earnestly, but Bie Xu just couldn't stop laughing.

While he was gasping for breath, he heard Wen Er flip through the dictionary in his mind for a long time, and finally picked out the word "vicious", and nodded quickly according to his meaning.

This is probably the limit of Wen Er's cursing.

Bie Xu laughed so hard that he lay on Wen Er's bed for a long time, and it took a long time before he sat up straight again.

He patted Wen Er's head and comforted him softly: "It's all in the past. If that person doesn't show up today, I won't even remember this incident."

Seeing that Wen Er was still angry, Bie Xu put on a gesture and sighed: "I see you are so angry, maybe you will regret that you let him go so lightly back then. I should expose his true colors and make it difficult for him to move forward in school!"

Wen Er blinked, and began to struggle in his heart.He thinks that bad guys should be severely punished, but he also doesn't want to let Bie Xu get stuck in the quagmire of the past and associate with the ugly all day long.

Finally, seeing Bie Xu's indifferent expression, he let out a long breath.

Since the person involved chose to forget, it was unreasonable for him to remind him obsessively, so that the unbearable scene would reappear again and again.

Seeing that he had figured it out, Bie Xu said "good night" and went back to his room.

He actually concealed some things, or in other words, he didn't tell the whole story.

Why did Wu Shuang do this?Bie Xu didn't understand at the time either.The two of them don't interfere with each other, and even as classmates in the same department, they have a good relationship.

Until the girl rushed to him and said that she had rejected Wu Shuang's confession because she had someone she liked—Bie Xu.

Until the tutor who was optimistic about him called him to the office alone, and talked with him earnestly for several hours, to the effect that this incident was known to the whole school, and his slightly inappropriate response might have a negative impact on his admission to graduate school. Influence.

Until he finally gave up on graduate school, and the tutor who originally planned to accept him finally took Wu Shuang into his school.

……

In fact, there are so many pure dissatisfaction, even if you just want to vent at the beginning, in the end, the causes that drive people to do bad things ultimately come down to interests.

It's just that some people think about it, and some people can't resist the temptation, so they take action.

However, there is no need for Wen Er to know about these.

Wen Er's angry face appeared in front of Bie Xu's eyes. He only knew a part of it, and asked him to use up all the curse words. The rest of the content was too explosive, and it could not be concluded based on the cause and effect.

Then take it as Wu Shuang's jealousy of his talent.

This was the most acceptable reason Bie Xu could think of.
