Volume 1, Chapter 21, Things Are Different
After I discovered Kuang Li's trap, she heard that I was going to call the police. This time she was really scared, and her hoarse crying sound seemed to have been soaked in Coptis chilli.
"Yu Bin! I beg you, don't call the police! If you call the police, I will be done. Our company will definitely open me."
"Oh, so that's it!"
Kuang Li no longer had the arrogance and nobility she had before, and her tone was so humble, "You just checked. If you called the police, I might be detained. If that were the case, our company would definitely fire me. Yu Bin, can you remember the relationship between the past? Forgive me once..."
I continued to ask, "Are you sure, if I really call the police, your company will open you?"
Kuang Li said "yes" with certainty, "That way I'll be done."
"Then I have to make this call!"
“…”
She finally couldn't bear it and shouted at me at the top of her lungs: "Yu Bin."
I was calm, "What's wrong?"
A heavy breathing sounded on the phone, and after a while, her voice seemed to be deflated.
"Okay! I admit defeat, I voluntarily give up the house in my hometown. Please let me go, is this OK?"
I was silent for a few seconds and said boredly: "Yes, but it's no point in saying it. I need both of us to write an agreement and then sign it."
Kuang Li said as if she was relieved and accepted her fate: "Okay, tomorrow at 7 o'clock, it's still an old place. I will come with an agreement. Let's just meet for the last time after we parted! Of course, if you are willing to come..."
"Okay, no problem."
Although the dispute between Kuang Li and I was resolved, I didn't feel relaxed. The beginning of the fairy tale and the end of the joke made me laugh and cry. Just as the movie said, life is like a box of chocolate, and you will never know what the next one tastes.
The old place Kuang Li mentioned is a small restaurant next to the university, which runs home-cooked dishes. When I was in college, this restaurant almost became the canteen for Kuang Li and me. When I arrived, Kuang Li had already arrived.
After a few days of not seeing each other, Kuang Li's pretty face seemed a little haggard, just like the remaining lotus in the pond in the painting on the wall...
She handed me the menu with a dark face and said to me, "I ordered several. Do you see if there is anything else I want to add?"
I shook my head and didn't reach out to take the menu, "That's enough, let's talk about the serious matter first!"
A hint of unnatural flashed across Kuang Li's face, staring at me and said, "Does there be nothing to talk about except this?"
I thought about it and shook my head.
A withered relationship, let it go with the wind!
Kuang Li pursed her lips, her face turned pale and white, and she put down the menu heavily, and her whole body seemed to be drained.
She smiled bitterly and said with a sigh: "Originally, we should have eaten this meal on the day of divorce, so we will make up for it today."
As soon as these words came out, the people next to us suddenly looked at our table and cast gossip.
I didn't care about other people's gazes at all, and smiled softly, saying, "Take out the agreement first and I'll take a look."
A trace of anger flashed in Kuang Li's eyes, and she suppressed her emotions and took out the agreement and pushed it in front of me.
"Look at it carefully. I have signed it. If you think it's okay, sign it!"
I picked up the agreement and looked at it word by word. I looked very carefully, and I really received Kuang Li's contemptuous laughter.
"Don't worry, I downloaded the agreement from the Internet. I definitely didn't cheat you. Is it necessary to read it so carefully?"
My eyes were still staring at the agreement and said to her carelessly: "Look carefully now, there will be less trouble in the future."
Kuang Li looked up and glanced at me, suppressing her dissatisfaction and said nothing.
At this time, I had finished reading the agreement, nodded, took out the pen, and signed my name on the agreement.
I pushed one of them in front of her, but she hesitated to look at the pen in my hand and exhaled, "This one is not the one I gave you."
I nodded, "Well, the one you gave me has been thrown away by me long ago."
Kuang Li's pupils shrank, and her face was surprised. After a while, she suddenly smiled bitterly and sighed: "No need! You don't even leave a thought, are you just cruel to me?"
I shook my head decisively, my tone was calm; I said to her: "No need. People cannot live in the past forever."
At this time, the food was served one after another. Kuang Li ordered several dishes that we must have on our anniversary every year, but neither of us had the intention to move our chopsticks.
Maybe my attitude changed too quickly, and Kuang Li couldn't adapt. She bit her lip and said unwillingly: "Yu Bin, although we broke up, we have been together for nine years, so you really have nothing to nostalgic for?"
I looked at the layers of sycamore trees outside, the hustle and bustle branches blocked the sun, and a thick scent seemed to sprinkle in my heart.
Looking back at Kuang Li's increasingly unfamiliar face, I shook my head again, "Since there is a better waiting for me in the future, why bother to nostalgic for the past?"
A hint of warmth flashed across Kuang Li's face, and she slapped the table, staring at me angrily, "Then let's go and see, I want to see if I will regret leaving you!"
After saying that, she grabbed the agreement and backpack, stepped on her high heels, and left the restaurant without looking back.
From the moment Kwong Li left angrily, I became the focus of the restaurant. Everyone looked at me, some pointed fingers and some were talking.
I took the arrow-like gaze alone, looked at the dishes on the table that had not moved even a single chopstick, and called the waiter to pack it and take it away.
After coming out of the restaurant, the night wind blew, taking away my thoughts and savoring the taste of loneliness alone in the night.
After seeing Kuang Li, I suddenly felt a little unwilling to go home. I was floating alone and had no friends. After thinking about it, the only friend I could think of seemed to be Lin Feifei.
After hesitating for a moment, I sent her a message.
Me: "Does your stomach still hurt?"
She returns almost instantly.
Lin Feifei: "It's a bit, but it doesn't hurt very much, but it's a little uncomfortable. Why do you think this is a fat thing?"
I picked up the lunch box and took a photo, and sent it to her.
"Foodies can't tell whether they have stomachache or hungry."
"How do you know I didn't eat?"
"I don't know either. I just think you can eat something more with your 128g stomach!"
"Then you come to my house quickly. You can talk about the others slowly, but you have to eat the meat quickly!"
After saying that, she also sent a set of cute emoticons.
