The United States, Chicago, in a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown, there is a man sitting by the window. This man has a mature charm, looks steady, and gives people a majestic feeling. He wears a pair of glasses.
If you look closely, he feels like an intellectual.
But if you observe carefully, you will find that his eyes are very sharp, like a ferocious beast. The man's bloody nature is fully reflected in him. He drinks tea quietly, as if he is waiting for someone.
Arriving, he looked out the window, giving people an unfathomable feeling.
Ten minutes later, the door of the restaurant was pushed open, and a Chinese woman walked in. This woman was dressed in a professional suit, with a tall figure, shoulder-length hair, and clear and charming eyes.
She has the unique smell of women, and many Chinese and Americans are paying attention to her.
The woman entered the room, looked around, and walked straight to the man by the window, "I'm sorry, Brother Jie, I'm late."
Liu Shijie greeted with a smile, "It's okay, sit down quickly Xinran."
These two people, one is Xia Xinran and the other is Liu Shijie. They have been in the United States for many years, but they have never met each other. The United States is so big, it takes a lot of fate to meet them. They were in the last time
We met last week at an NBA game in Chicago. Liu Shijie is a fan of Jordan. Although Jordan has retired, he continues to watch the Bulls play games.
Xia Xinran watched the basketball game because Gao Zijian used to love playing basketball, so she liked watching it. The two were surprised when they met on the court, but since they both came with their friends, they just left a phone number.
Without saying much, Liu Shijie called specifically to invite her to come today.
After Xia Xinran sat down, Liu Shijie asked with a smile, "What should we eat? This Chinese restaurant is quite right."
"Whatever, Brother Jie, just order a few as you see." Xia Xinran said softly.
Liu Shijie called the waiter and ordered some authentic Chinese dishes. "It's been a while since we last met," Liu Shijie said with a smile.
"Yeah, about ten years, right?" Xia Xinran nodded and replied, as if she was lamenting that time passed too fast.
"Well, it's been ten years. Time flies so fast. By the way, Xinran, you have been in the United States for seven or eight years, right?" Liu Shijie asked.
"Well, it's been almost eight years. I used to live in Los Angeles, and I only came to Chicago in the past two years. How do you know about Brother Jie?" Xia Xinran came to Chicago to work after she broke up with Wang Hao. She is now a double
I have a master's degree and am working as a manager in a listed company in the United States. My mother passed away the year before last. It's not easy to live alone.
After she came to the United States with Wang Hao, she lived on campus for a long time. Women's hearts are made of water. Wang Hao was very kind to her. Within a year, she caught him and the two began to live together. Although
Gao Zijian was her first love, but Wang Hao was her first real man. However, the good times did not last long. Within a year, Wang Hao fell in love with another man, and the two parted ways.
"Haha, Xiao Jianzi and I have never lost contact. In fact...not long after you broke up, he told me when I called him." Liu Shijie said softly.
"Oh, that's it. Is he... okay?" Xia Xinran still couldn't help but want to ask.
"It should be pretty good, he rarely talks about his own affairs, and we only talk on the phone once every few months, and the conversation doesn't last long," Liu Shijie said.
At this time, the waiter brought the dishes. Li Shijie greeted her and said, "Eat it while it's hot. His food is great."
Xia Xinran took a bite and said, "Well, it's really good. It's almost the same as in our country."
Liu Shijie smiled and said nothing. Xia Xinran suddenly said, "Brother Jie, you have changed. You have changed a lot in the past ten years."
"Oh? Really? Has it changed a lot?" Liu Shijie looked at her and asked.
"Well, it's really big. You used to give me the impression that you were quite... quite naughty. Now I look at you. You are too calm. Really, too calm." Xia Xinran couldn't admit it. Liu Shijie seemed to have changed.
Except for that face, everything about the person's speech and behavior has changed.
"Haha, actually everyone is changing, aren't you the same? You have become more mature and more charming." Liu Shijie said with approval, this was also what he was thinking.
"I feel like I haven't changed much. I'm still the same. It's true that I've learned a lot in the United States over the years." Now Xia Xinran can stand alone.
"Don't you want to know why Xiao Jianzi broke up with you?" Liu Shijie suddenly asked.
Xia Xinran was a little dumbfounded and said, "Why are you still bringing this up? It's been so many years, he was the one who wanted to break up, and there was nothing I could do about it."
"You know, Xinran, I originally thought you would know Xiao Jianzi very well, but in fact you don't know him at all." Liu Shijie said seriously.
"Brother Jie, I don't understand what you said." Xia Xinran was a little confused.
"Xiao Jianzi has known about your mother for a long time. He has known about it since the day your mother had the accident." Liu Shijie didn't need to say too much. He knew that with Xia Xinran's IQ, he should be able to understand that for Gao Zijian and Xia Xinran,
Liu Shijie had the most comprehensive understanding of all the reasons for the breakup, because Gao Zijian once called him with tears in his eyes and told him the whole process.
Sure enough, Xia Xinran's eyes widened and she said, "What are you talking about, Brother Jie? Zijian...he knows?"
"Yes, he has always known, and even visited your mother secretly, do you know Xinran? Before anything happened, your mother had looked for Zijian, hoping that Zijian could leave you, but Zijian didn't do it at that time
Agree, I don’t think I need to say more about what happened next, but I just want to tell you that Wang Hao already knew that you were going to the United States with Wang Hao. With your wisdom, you should be able to understand why Zi Jian chose
Break up." Liu Shijie spoke very forcefully, with an irresistible tone.
At this moment, Xia Xinran's heart ached a little. She felt as if she saw Gao Zijian bidding her farewell with tears. Over the years, she had blamed Gao Zijian and hated Gao Zijian, but she never thought that the man she blamed so cruelly would...
He actually cruelly hurt himself for her. She finally understood the reason for Gao Zijian's indifference that day, and that everything was disguised.
Liu Shijie sighed and said, "Zijian told me these things personally. That night, he told me all this with tears. I know that he doesn't want others to see his pain, but he is also a human being.
Oh, he will really go crazy if he can't find anyone to talk to."
"What can I do if I know? I'm done with him. I think he will blame me." Xia Xinran's eyes were a little red.
"If he would blame you, he wouldn't bear the pain and let you leave. Xinran, I plan to return to China. After wandering for many years, it's time for me to return to my roots." Liu Shijie's words were actually saying to her.
"Brother Jie, when do you plan to go back?" Xia Xinran asked.
"Just these few days, what? Do you want to go back too?" Liu Shijie asked her.
"Actually, there is a company in China that has been wanting me to go there, and I am also considering it. I miss my hometown a little bit." Xia Xinran sorted out her thoughts and said.
"Okay, I'll leave next week. You can call me during this time and we'll go back together." Liu Shijie smiled.
