The man put his cell phone on speakerphone and put it back on the table.
Then, he picked up the noodles that the woman across from him had not finished eating, and readied his chopsticks again, preparing to wipe out all the noodles in the bowl.
It seemed that everything just now was unimportant. What was important was that he was really hungry.
"What's wrong with you?" came the greeting from a middle-aged woman on the phone.
"What's wrong?" The man was still eating noodles, and his tone was obviously much calmer than the previous conversation with the woman in red.
"Son, I see you just posted it on Moments, but deleted it all at once. If you have anything, you can tell your family."
The woman on the phone also had a soothing tone, and seemed to be cautious in her conversations with the young man.
The young man coughed twice before replying: "There's nothing much to say lately."
"Then you can talk about bad things." The man's mother still insisted.
For some reason, when Gu Chen heard this sentence, he found that the man suddenly had a sore nose.
After trying to calm down, he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand.
Perhaps in order to make himself look okay, the man calmed down for nearly ten seconds before replying: "It's nothing, I'm eating out."
"What to eat?"
"Eat whatever you want, lung slices or something."
There was a sudden pause on the other end of the phone for a few seconds, and then the man's mother asked calmly: "But haven't you not eaten lung slices since you were a child?"
The man hesitated for a few seconds and chuckled: "That was before, because my friend liked to eat lung slices, so... people always change."
"It's getting cold, so pay more attention to your health outside and don't tire yourself out."
"Okay, I got it. Let's do this for now. I'll have to work overtime later."
"Hmm, then I won't disturb you."
The man and his mother stayed on the phone for a while before hanging up.
At this time, a pair of men were holding the large bowl of noodles they had just received, looking around for a spot.
When I saw Gu Chen sitting alone in a seat for two people, he didn't eat.
So one of the men with glasses hurriedly asked: "Do you want to sit here and eat?"
Gu Chen glanced at the two men, then stood up knowingly, gave up his seat and said, "You guys can sit here and eat."
"Thank you." Another man also took the initiative to say thank you.
After Gu Chen looked around, only the seat of the woman in red was still empty.
So Gu Chen took the initiative to walk over and sit quietly opposite the man.
The man raised his head slightly and glanced at Gu Chen. He quickly recognized Gu Chen and nodded slightly to say hello.
"Is that your girlfriend just now?" Gu Chen also asked casually.
The man smiled, a little embarrassed, but nodded: "It was before, but it won't be from now on."
Looking up at Gu Chen again, the man smiled slightly and said, "Thank you just now for making you wait so long."
"It's okay, I have time." Gu Chen said.
The man turned around hard, took out a tissue and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, then turned back and said, "Did you see what just happened?"
Gu Chen nodded.
"I made you laugh." The man said with a smile.
Gu Chen said indifferently: "It's nothing, it's just an emotional issue."
"Haha." The man laughed dryly and couldn't help complaining: "To be honest, after living in a big city for a few years, I feel more and more that expressing emotions is a very difficult thing."
Seeing Gu Chen listening carefully, the man shook his head and said with a self-deprecating smile: "Because I have never met you, so I just confided in you."
"You look a lot troubled?" Gu Chen asked.
The man nodded and said, "Absolutely. Sometimes I really want to say something, but when the words come to my mouth, I think about it and forget it."
“Even posting a complaint to a circle of friends may cause a series of chain reactions.”
"For example, just now, my mother called me because I deleted a post on my circle of friends, haha."
"She should care about you very much. After all, how can a mother not care about her son?"
The moment Gu Chen spoke, a deaf-mute waiter came over and brought a large bowl of noodles and placed it directly in front of Gu Chen.
Then, the waiter made silent gestures in front of Gu Chen and pointed in the direction of the front desk.
Gu Chen knew that he was telling himself that the man opposite had just called for this, and now it was given to Gu Chen.
"Thank you." Gu Chen gestured briefly, not knowing whether his mute sign was standard or not.
However, the deaf-mute waiter understood clearly, smiled and left.
Gu Chen also picked up the chopsticks and started to wolf down the food because he was really hungry.
The young man opposite took a sip of soup from a large bowl. After putting it down, he smiled at Gu Chen and said, "I heard that the sign of a person's maturity is learning to control his emotions."
"But in this world shrouded by social networks, the so-called controlling emotions is actually a process of constantly shrinking the circle of friends."
"Just like me." The man pointed at himself and couldn't help but said: "Except for my colleagues at work, I rarely have contact with my former classmates."
"As well as my relatives and my previous close friends, after I got my girlfriend, I started to have very little contact with them."
"I controlled like this so many times that in the end, even my desire to express disappeared."
"That's right." Gu Chen looked at the other party seriously and said, "That feeling of taking everything on your shoulders, not only will you acquiesce, but even the friends around you will get used to it."
"Maybe that's just how people are." The man took out a tissue, dipped it in his mouth and said, "Once people do something in a hurry, they don't have the sense to think about whether the thing itself is reasonable or not."
"Only after you have to calm down can you have time to face the depression in your heart."
"And the longer it is suppressed, the stronger the desire to be understood. Just like me now, as you saw just now, I am not understood at all."
"Yes." The man nodded and added: "I am busy from morning to night every day, and I don't even have a chance to breathe. When she came, she said I didn't understand her."
"She is free at work, and I am busy at work. We should understand each other..."
Thinking that he had confided this to a stranger, the man hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said with a smile: "I told you too much."
"It's okay, I will forget it soon." Gu Chen said lightly with a smile that showed his insight into the world: "So, after another long silence, you looked at the other person's disappointed expression, and then you suddenly
Do you understand why you are becoming more and more speechless, right?"
The man smiled and nodded: "Absolutely. After all, the purpose of expressing emotions is to gain the understanding of the other party."
"If you can't do this, no matter what you say, it will only cause greater misunderstandings."
"And if there are too many misunderstandings, no matter how close the relationship was, it will become farther and farther away as time goes by."
Taking out his mobile phone, the man found the social account of the woman in red, and then sent a smiling emoticon.
Soon, a red exclamation mark appeared.
[Beibi has turned on friend verification, but you are not his (her) friend yet. Please send a friend verification request first, and you can only chat after the other party passes the verification. 】
Behind the light-colored subtitles, there is a blue "Send Friend Verification" link.
The man smiled and showed the conversation page to Gu Chen: "It seems she really deleted me."
"Maybe she is right, we are really not suitable for each other. For example, when she is sad, I am always sadder than her, so why does she still stay with me?"
Gu Chen didn't say anything and continued to eat noodles. He shouldn't get involved in this kind of thing.
The man lowered his head slightly so that he did not have to look at Gu Chen. He looked at the dialog box on the screen in his hand, as if he was about to run out of energy.
Suddenly he smiled self-consciously and secretly encouraged himself: "Maybe it's best to delete friends. I always don't know what she needs, and she hasn't thought about what I need. So, is it good for both of us to separate?"
"And you know, I haven't liked eating lung slices since I was a child, but for her, I changed my previous habit because she likes to eat them."
He raised his head gently, as he had done hundreds of thousands of times before, and let out a soft laugh: "I just suddenly discovered a lot of things, things that I had never paid attention to, and things that I had never paid attention to.
To care about things.”
"Maybe... this is also the most ironic place in life."
"When we grow up, we always want to integrate into another world, but in the process, we become farther and farther away from the people we are most familiar with."
"Later, we kept hitting walls in another world, becoming silent because of exhaustion, and losing qualifications because of silence."
"It wasn't until this moment that we thought of looking back and finally understood that the original meaning of expression was not to gain understanding from others, but to allow you to identify who is the one who is willing to understand you."
The man opened the phone address book and showed Gu Chen the records of the five calls his mother had made to him: "You know what? There will always be someone who understands your circle of friends."
"Just like my mother, if I just send a real-time update on my mood and then delete it, my mother will call me five times in a row to comfort me."
"Perhaps no one in this world can bother me like this anymore."
The man was a little emotional, his nose was sore, and his tears suddenly flowed down uncontrollably.
It was also because his voice was a little too loud just now that many customers sitting nearby briefly cast curious glances at him.
The man couldn't feel better just looking at the packed audience. He wiped his tears again and said, "I'm sorry, I lost my composure."
He touched his pocket and found that the napkins had already been used up.
Gu Chen took a sip of noodles, then took it out of his pocket, put his napkin on the table, then pushed it in front of the man and said, "Use mine."
"Thank you." The man was also polite.
Gu Chen shook his head and said calmly: "I think we should cherish people who are willing to express their emotions."
"But if you don't express it, who likes to have a hot face but a cold butt? Or you don't want people to understand you?"
Gu Chen noticed from the moment the woman in red walked into the restaurant and sat across from the man that the man seemed to have a lot on his mind, but when faced with the various complaints made by the woman in red, he had no desire to express himself.
It seemed that there was some misunderstanding between the two, but the man did not want to explain.
But in the adult world, you can only get what you want if you take the initiative to fight for it.
After all, no one is a roundworm in someone else's belly. Many people pretend to be like depressed princes, not wanting to express their thoughts, but wanting others to understand and understand them.
This itself is unrealistic.
The man smiled and said, "I understand, thank you."
"Senior Brother Gu." Just when the man finished speaking, Yuan Shasha walked to Gu Chen with the remaining food: "We are all eating inside, why are you outside alone? Senior Brother Wang is looking for you.
."
"Oh, I'll be there right away." Gu Chen quickly agreed.
"Then come here quickly." Yuan Shasha reminded her and left.
At this time, the young man sitting opposite Gu Chen also smiled, stretched out his hand and said: "Then you go to accompany your friends first, don't worry about me, I want to be alone here for some quiet time."
"Okay, think about your parents in everything. If you don't know what to do now, then try your best to honor your parents. You can't go wrong with this."
Gu Chen also gave textbook-like advice...
Gu Chen encounters persuasion work like this every month.
The man nodded and looked directly out the window.
Gu Chen also walked directly into the private room No. 8, carrying some unfinished noodles.
"Gu Chen, is that your friend outside?" As soon as Gu Chen entered the private room, Officer Wang turned on the questioning mode.
Officer Wang was very sure that the man in the hall seemed to be somewhat acquainted with Gu Chen.
After all, the circle of Jiangnan City is so large. Maybe some people from the same city will never see each other once in their lives, but some people can always meet in a suitable place.
It was also because he saw Gu Chen chatting with him in the living room for a long time that Officer Wang asked more questions.
"I just met, I don't know the name." Gu Chen sat back in his seat, only to find that there were many more snacks on the dining table.
Yuan Shasha hurriedly explained: "The man just now had a bad temper, which embarrassed the landlady, but Senior Brother Gu was wise and gave up two bowls of noodles to him."
"So that's it." Officer Wang nodded slightly and asked Gu Chen in a gossipy tone: "Gu Chen, do you know why he is angry?"
"It's a relationship problem, we just broke up." Gu Chen said.
When Wang Dewen heard this, he immediately laughed and said: "This young man, who doesn't want to experience some emotional setbacks? Only after experiencing it can you meet true love."
"Senior Brother Wang, what do you think is true love?" Lu Weiwei did not expect that Wang Dewen would talk about such a high-end topic, so she quickly asked him with the mentality of not missing out.
Wang Dewen was stumped all of a sudden.
But the police officer Wang beside him said as a veteran: "Lu Weiwei, do you really want to know?"
"I really want to know." Lu Weiwei nodded firmly, very sure.
Then Officer Wang glanced at Yuan Shasha...
Yuan Shasha quickly shook her head, pointed at Lu Weiwei and said, "Senior Sister Lu wants to know."
"Actually, it's nothing." Officer Wang put down his chopsticks and touched his bulging belly and said, "Actually, I think true love is when two people are obviously ugly, but they still worry that the other will be taken away. I think this is true love.
."
"Pfft!" When Wang Dewen heard this, he almost spit out the lung slices in his mouth, and said with a smile: "Old Wang, your point of view is interesting."
"After all, I have been here before." Officer Wang also leaned back and leaned on his seat and said, "But true love in this era means not looking at your phone when we are together, and replying to messages in a timely manner when we are not together."
"In fact, people nowadays believe in love, and they also believe that love will not happen to them."
When Wang Dewen heard this, he nodded quickly and said with longing: "So in the past, the carriage was very slow, and you could only love one person in a lifetime. This sounds very beautiful, but I always feel that the person involved actually wants to love many people."
"It's just that the carriages and horses in that era were very slow, so I had no choice but to love only one person."
Looking at everyone's surprised looks, Wang Dewen coughed twice and explained: "That's the truth. Anyway, just take your time and taste it."
"Senior Brother Wang, maybe you are one of the people who slipped through the cracks in quality education after Lao Wang, right?" Lu Weiwei couldn't help but tease, feeling that these two people really flock together.
Wang Dewen quickly drew a clear line with Officer Wang: "I am different from him. I am me and he is him. When I had three girlfriends back then, Lao Wang didn't have a girlfriend yet."
"If I hadn't been assigned to the fire brigade in Jiangnan City in the end, I might have started a family and settled in another place. Lao Wang had no choice. He is not on the same level as me."
"Hahaha."
Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha suddenly burst out laughing while listening to Wang Dewen's old story about police officer Wang.
Comrade Lao Wang was embarrassed and wanted to strangle Wang Dewen to death.
The entire private room No. 8 was suddenly filled with laughter and laughter.
But while everyone was teasing and trying to make trouble for each other, Gu Chen clearly saw the young man outside the door, who seemed to be observing something.
Soon, he stood up, picked up his black leather bag, and walked directly towards the bathroom of the Silent Noodle Shop.
"Junior Brother Gu, what are you looking at?" He also saw that Gu Chen was absent-minded. After all, it was rare for him to learn interesting things about Comrade Wang's past from Wang Dewen.
However, Gu Chen's mind didn't seem to be there, so Lu Weiwei was also very curious.
Gu Chen smiled and said: "Nothing, I want to go to the bathroom."
"Then I'll accompany you." Lu Weiwei said and began to take out tissues from her bag.
Yuan Shasha took a look and quickly put down her chopsticks: "Then I'll go too, and the three of us will go together."
Gu Chen nodded, got up and walked out.
Several people came to the outside of the bathroom.
The restrooms of the entire silent noodle shop are in a side-by-side structure, with a total of 3 single toilets, regardless of gender.
At this time, in addition to Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha, there were still several customers waiting in line at the door.
5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes passed...
Customers in the restroom came out one after another.
But when Gu Chen was the last one to walk out of the bathroom, he found that the customer who had just queued on the far right was still standing there waiting anxiously.
And Gu Chen clearly remembered that the right side was the compartment where the young man entered, but now there was still no movement inside.
