Zhu Yunxiu saw me looking out the window. He also looked out the window, and then asked me softly: "Have you met someone you know?"
I quickly turned my gaze back and murmured a little awkwardly: "No, no..." In fact, I thought the person I just saw looked like Ye Xing, but I didn't dare to confirm it yet.
After hearing what I said, Zhu Yunxiu smiled lightly and said nothing more.
The car was driving slowly, and the traffic was quite congested at this time. While waiting for the red light, Zhu Yunxiu turned on the music in the car and played a melodious old song, "Love Song 1990" by Luo Dayou.
Seeing me listening attentively, Zhu Yunxiu asked me with a smile: "Have you heard this song when you were in school?"
I smiled, nodded, and replied, "Yes, this song was popular on the entire campus when I was a freshman in high school."
Zhu Yunxiu nodded slowly, and then asked me: "Xiao Su, you went to university in 1995, right?"
I smiled faintly at him and denied, "No, I went to college in 1994. I went to school relatively early and went to college at the age of 17."
Zhu Yunxiu nodded slightly: "Oh, so that's it." Then he added with a smile, "I was already working when you went to college."
I laughed and asked casually: "Brother Zhu, in what year did you go to university?"
Zhu Yunxiu smiled and replied to me: "I went to university in 1989."
I nodded lightly, and he told me again: "After graduation, I was assigned to work in a state-owned commercial bank. After working there for a few years, I went into business."
I smiled and said, "Oh, me too. After I graduated, I was assigned to a state-owned enterprise. I entered the publicity department and had nothing to do all day long. I was young at the time and felt that staying there was a waste of my life, so I resigned.
, and I found another company to do accounting.”
As I spoke, I flicked the dust off my clothes, and my tone became more relaxed. I don't know why, when talking about these old topics, I seemed to find a long-lost sense of familiarity, and my whole body became relaxed.
The anxiety and uneasiness I felt when I first got in the car gradually disappeared.
Zhu Yunxiu saw me relaxing and smiled at me knowingly. The smile was very warm. I lowered my head in embarrassment, as if he had understood what was going on in my mind.
After the red light passed, the car drove forward again. The two of us were speechless for a long time, and the only popular song from the past echoed in the car.
Later, Zhu Yunxiu asked me softly: "Xiao Su, are you and Deng Wenliang classmates in college?"
When Deng Wenliang's name was mentioned, my expression became serious. I nodded and replied calmly: "It should be said that we are university alumni. He is one year above me."
Zhu Yunxiu nodded slightly, and I asked him: "Are you and Ranran's mother classmates in college?"
Zhu Yunxiu smiled faintly when he heard me ask this question. I found that this man loves to smile. This may be a magic weapon for him to win in the mall. Sometimes a smile can convince his opponent more than seriousness and ferocity.
After laughing, Zhu Yunxiu slowly replied to me: "We are not college classmates. Ran Ran's mother is three years younger than me. Her uncle is the vice president of the bank where I worked for the first time and is also my immediate boss. He
Brought us together."
I nodded as if I had a sudden realization, thinking to myself that there is some connection between this.
Zhu Yunxiu glanced at me again, pondered for a moment, and then slowly said to me: "Xiao Su, you remind me of a lot of things from back then..."
I looked at him with some confusion. At this time, the car had arrived outside the teahouse where Zhu Yunxiu was. He stopped the car and said to me: "We're here, let's get out of the car."
I agreed and walked with him to the teahouse after getting off the car.
This teahouse is opened by Japanese, and the layout and structure inside are all in the style of old Japanese houses. Zhu Yun revised a separate guest room. The floor of the guest room is covered with tatami mats, and there is an exquisite small square table in the middle. We are here
I took off my shoes at the door, then slowly walked into the room with my socks on. I knelt down and sat on the futon next to the small square table. My movements were a little restrained. Zhu Yunxiu sat cross-legged on the futon naturally. It seemed that he had often done this before.
I come here to consume entertainment, so I have become very accustomed to these habits.
The waiter in kimono quickly brought tea, sake, and several exquisite snacks. Then she filled the glasses in front of each of us with wine.
After the waiter left, Zhu Yunxiu pointed to the sake in the glass and said to me: "This wine is not intoxicating. Try it. It tastes very fresh."
I nodded slightly, picked up the wine glass, lowered my head and took a sip. I felt that the wine was sweet and smooth in the mouth, and it was indeed an endless aftertaste.
I raised my head and smiled brightly at Zhu Yunxiu, and praised: "It's really good."
Seeing that I said yes, Zhu Yunxiu also smiled happily, and then let me have snacks.
We chatted while eating, and the topic slowly shifted from the children of the two families to some old things from when we were in school. At this point, Zhu Yunxiu's expression became a little sad, and he continued the topic that he had just left unfinished in the car.
, he said to me: "Xiao Su, do you know why I said you remind me a lot of things from back then?"
I looked at him and shook my head in confusion.
Zhu Yunxiu smiled bitterly, looked at me steadily, and then explained to me: "Because your temperament is very similar to that of my girlfriend in college, pure and quiet."
I said "Oh" in surprise and looked at Zhu Yunxiu. At this time, his expression looked even more sad. He slowly said to me: "Our relationship was very sincere and pure back then. I didn't have sex until graduation."
After passing her hand, we originally thought we could keep going, but the cruel reality made it impossible for us. She is a directional student and must return to her hometown after graduation. However, I came from a distant area and can stay in this city to develop and make a difference.
It was the lifelong wish of my parents and I, and just like that, we were separated by reality."
Listening to Zhu Yunxiu's narration, I nodded slowly. Only then did I understand why his attitude towards me was so gentle and approachable from the beginning. It turned out that there was a trace of someone familiar to him in me.
"I still remember the first time I met you. Ranran went to your house to play, and I went to pick her up. When you walked out of the door, I felt like I was in a different world, as if time had passed by.
Zifei has returned to his college days. Really." At this point, Zhu Yunxiu looked at me, his eyes became bright and eager, and he said to me affectionately, "In so many years, I have never seen anyone so moved.
My woman."
Hearing him say this, I felt very embarrassed. When he said this, where did he put his wife?
As if he had seen through my thoughts, Zhu Yunxiu sighed softly, took a sip of the sake in the glass, and then slowly explained to me: "Perhaps, you see that I and Ranran's mother, Xie Fangju, are very loving and sweet, but...
As the saying goes, every family has its own sutras that are difficult to recite, and many couples will not expose their family problems easily."
I looked at him and asked softly: "Oh? Do you think you are unhappy?"
Zhu Yunxiu smiled helplessly, and then said in a low voice: "Fang Ju comes from a good background. Her father, brother, and main relatives in the family are all in official careers. I admit that my boss introduced her to me at the time. On the one hand, I valued her.
On the other hand, I came from a poor family and wanted to stand out. I also wanted to use some strength from my father-in-law's family. I admit that this idea was not very glorious at the time, but please forgive me for being a child of a poor family.
This city is helpless and has no foundation. It is natural to have this idea, but I did not expect that everything has a price..."
Having said this, Zhu Yunxiu held the wine glass in his hand and lowered his head deeply.
We were all silent, and I waited for him to continue. After a while, he began to speak slowly: "The Xie family should also understand my mentality, so their whole family thinks that Fang Ju is marrying down when she marries me. He
My parents were opposed to our marriage at the time, but her uncle, who was my boss, valued my abilities very much and felt that I would definitely achieve a great career in the future, so he tried his best to bring us together. Fang Ju was probably attracted by me at the time.
The appearance is attractive," Zhu Yunxiu said with a self-deprecating smile, "After all, I was considered a Yushu Linfeng at that time, but I didn't expect that after a few years of marriage, everyone in the Xie family, including Fang Ju, would become a member of my family.
There was a strong sense of superiority in front of them, and I always had a sense of inferiority that I couldn't stand up in front of their family members. This was probably one of my original intentions for later working hard to go into business and try my luck in the sky."
After hearing this, I no longer know what to say.
Zhu Yunxiu raised his head and looked at me. At this time, his eyes looked very melancholy. He said to me lightly: "Although I finally succeeded and the Xie family no longer dare to look down on me, I still can't find the same share I had back then."
I am now happy. My marriage with Fang Ju has also entered a freezing period in recent years. Although she no longer has a sense of superiority in front of me, she has repeatedly used the words of her family to support me in the early years to remind me, always reminding me not to be ungrateful.
"As he said that, Zhu Yunxiu raised his confused eyes and looked at me, smiled faintly and murmured, "Do you think I am an ungrateful person?"
I was speechless and could only smile helplessly at him.
Zhu Yunxiu smiled bitterly and continued: "I have always known how to repay kindness, but this thing is based on conscience and emotion, rather than forcing you to be grateful every day and talk about other people's kindness. These are the reasons that caused me and Fang
One reason why Ju's marriage is becoming increasingly cold, and another reason is that she has had a gynecological surgery and has no interest in sex life since then. And I am in my prime, so it is impossible not to have that need. Therefore, various reasons
As a result, our husband and wife seem to be inseparable, but I am grateful that she stayed with me when I was in the most difficult time, so I always adhere to the principle that a bad wife will never leave the house, and will not break up with her easily."
I listened silently, keeping my head down, my elbows on the table, and didn't speak.
At this time, Zhu Yunxiu gently raised his head, looked at me and said to me gently: "Xiao Su, to tell you the truth, since Fang Ju didn't let me touch her, I have also found other young women in the past few years.
But how should I put it? Although they have young and beautiful appearances, when I am with them, I always have a strange feeling that cannot reach the depths of my soul through the barrier. I think there is a difference in age and a difference in cultivation.
, until I met you, I was deeply attracted by your gentle temperament. Although you are not as young and beautiful as them, your familiar pure feeling makes me feel particularly kind."
As he spoke, Zhu Yunxiu seemed to become a little excited, and he raised a hand and placed it on the back of my hand.
I quickly moved my hand away, then smiled awkwardly at him and murmured: "Brother Zhu, you must have regarded me as the shadow of your first love, right?"
Hearing this, Zhu Yunxiu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile and said negatively: "No, now I know very well that you are you and she is her. Maybe one of the reasons why you attracted me at the beginning was because you were a little bit...
"Looking like her brought back some memories of the past, but later on, this feeling became weaker and weaker," Zhu Yunxiu looked at me affectionately, "I am still deeply attracted by your gentle and reserved temperament. I
I feel that Deng Wenliang's abandonment of you is his biggest loss in this life. If possible, let me protect you. I promise that I will never let you live so tiredly and hard again..."
Zhu Yunxiu's words made me even more confused. I quickly stood up and whispered to him: "I'm sorry, Brother Zhu, it's too late. I should go back."
Unexpectedly, Zhu Yunxiu grabbed my arm and said to me hurriedly: "Xiao Su, don't rush away yet. Today I mustered up the courage to tell you everything in my heart. I just want to show my feelings for you. I can promise to be with you."
In a lifetime, we can have another child. Ranran’s share of my property will be mine and your child’s share. What I can’t give you is just a marriage certificate, but I guarantee that you will receive everything else.
Your treatment will be the same as that of your real wife, and I will even give you all my sincerity."
"Brother Zhu, let me go! Let me go first!" At this time, I had already stood up and tried my best to get rid of Zhu Yunxiu's hand holding mine, my face flushed with embarrassment.
Zhu Yunxiu didn't let me go. He stood up after me. He didn't molest me any further, but he didn't let go of my hand either. He just held me tightly and said to me firmly: "Xiao Su,
I hope you will think carefully about what I said. I am serious about you. I feel very sorry to see you setting up a stall in such a difficult environment in a village in the city, but you still dare not accept my help. These days, I
I miss you every night, want to hold you in my arms, and want to possess you forever, but I respect your thoughts and will not do anything to hurt you. I think that if you find another one, you may not be as good as me.
You are so sincere, so don’t reject me easily and consider my proposal carefully, okay?”
I used all my strength to break free from Zhu Yunxiu's hand and shouted to him: "Let me go first!"
He finally let go. I rubbed the painful wrist that he pinched and whispered to him: "I'm sorry, I really can't accept that kind of relationship with a married man, so I will never consider your proposal."
, please...find someone else!"
Hearing my unhesitating words of rejection, Zhu Yunxiu's face looked ugly. His disappointment was mixed with deep helplessness. He further promised me: "Xiao Su, if you are worried about Xie Fangju's attitude, you can
You can rest assured that I can talk to Fang Ju directly and let her acquiesce in the existence of our relationship."
As soon as I heard this, I felt even more frightened. I stepped back, waved my hands at him desperately, and said hurriedly: "No, no, no! I absolutely cannot accept this way of life. Even if Xie Fangju agrees, I
I can't accept being a concubine for someone else, so you'd better let me go!" With that said, I turned around and walked quickly towards the door.
Zhu Yunxiu immediately chased me, grabbed me at the door, and said to me eagerly: "Xiao Su, please don't leave in a hurry. Please listen to what I have to say..."
The more he pulled me, the more scared I became, so I tried desperately to open the door. As we pulled, the door suddenly opened, and there was a service lady in kimono standing outside.
The waitress probably heard the noise and thought we couldn't open the door from the inside, so she helped us open the door from the outside and asked us humbly: "Sir, Madam, do you have any instructions?"
When I saw this service lady, I felt like I was seeing reinforcements. I quickly stood up, put on my shoes at the door, and ran out of the door.
With outsiders present, Zhu Yunxiu did not dare to be as presumptuous as before, but he still caught up with me, took my arm and whispered to me: "Xiao Su, I will take you back..."
I quickly shook off his hand, waved to him and said, "No, no! I'll take a taxi back, so I won't bother you!" After saying that, I ran towards the door of the tea house as if I was running away. I didn't dare to do anything during the whole process.
He looked at Zhu Yunxiu.
Sitting in the taxi, I still feel that my heart is beating wildly. The shock wave Zhu Yunxiu brought to me today is really too great. I never dreamed that such a gentle and humble gentleman, who is usually gentle and elegant, is really so powerful.
If someone gets emotional, he will be so aggressive and indifferent. The scene at that time really frightened me.
With great difficulty, the taxi finally arrived at the gate of the community where I lived. After paying the fare, I got out of the car and hurriedly walked into the community.
When I passed by the flower bed downstairs, I felt that there seemed to be a person sitting on the steps, but because it was night, I couldn't see his face clearly, and the panic in my heart had not yet been resolved, so I had no time to pay much attention to it, so I glanced at the person.
He hurriedly walked towards the building door.
Unexpectedly, the man said coldly behind me: "Back from the date?"
Hearing this familiar voice, I stopped and took a closer look. Sure enough, I heard it right. It was Ye Xing.
I saw him slowly getting up, walking slowly in front of me, and said to me in a strange way: "It must feel good to date a super rich man, right?" There was a strong smell of alcohol in his mouth, it seemed that just now
He must have been drinking.
Listening to his sinister tone, I became very angry. I was scared by Zhu Yunxiu just now, but now he is sarcastic again. The question is who am I dating and what does it have to do with him?
So I coldly replied to him: "Crazy!" I ignored him and strode upstairs.
