In the evening, Sun Quan left the studio and returned home. The huge villa was empty, and there was no other sound except his own footsteps.
His wife, children, nanny and others were all in the Magic City. This time he returned to City M alone, and his home looked so deserted.
For a moment, he felt a little uncomfortable, as if he had returned to the single state before his rebirth. The difference was that at that time, he lived in a rented house, and the conditions in all aspects were much worse than the villa in front of him.
But the feeling of loneliness in my heart is similar.
Walking into the lobby of the villa and looking around with squinted eyes, he missed his wife and children a little.
He hasn't eaten yet tonight. In fact, he could stay in the studio and eat with everyone, but he came back with an empty stomach. It's not that the food in the studio is too bad, but he just doesn't want to have a work meal there.
He walked into the kitchen and opened the refrigerator. There were indeed some ingredients in it. The vegetables in the fresh-keeping area were no longer fresh. He just grabbed them and threw them into the trash can next to him. The meat, dumplings, glutinous rice balls, etc. in the freezer area below were fine.
, can be eaten, but only if he needs to do it himself to turn them from ingredients into delicacies.
Being at home alone makes you lazy.
No, he reached out and took out a bag of beef, thought about it, put it in again, took out a bag of dumplings, sighed, threw it back, and closed the refrigerator door. He walked to the sink, turned on the faucet and washed his hands.
I'm too lazy to make food myself.
Although he is very good at cooking.
He looked up at the scenery outside the kitchen window, turned off the faucet, pulled a clean rag over and wiped the water stains on his hands, took out his cell phone and dialed Dong Chuan's number.
"Hello? Boss Sun, why did you remember to call me, my brother, today? That's strange! Haha."
Dong Chuan's carefree voice came from the phone, as well as the roar of the range hood.
Sun Quan smiled bitterly, "Are you cooking?"
Dong Chuan: "Oh, you are asking, if I am not cooking now, are you planning to fire me?"
Sun Quan's lips slightly raised, "Yes! This is called a phone call check, are you scared?"
Dong Chuan: "Yeah, yeah, I'm scared! How about it? Are you happy?"
Sun Quan turned around and walked out of the kitchen, "Well, so be it! You go about your business and hang up!"
Dong Chuan: "Hey, wait! Tell me why you called me this time!"
"Didn't I just say that? Check the post!"
Sun Quan answered with a smile.
Dong Chuan: "..."
After being silent for a few seconds, Dong Chuan said: "Okay! If you don't want to say it, forget it, then let it be like this! When you want to say something, call me again!"
Sun Quan: "Well, okay! Bye!"
"bye!"
After the call ended, Sun Quan looked at his phone with a helpless expression. He originally wanted to ask Dong Chuan to go out for dinner and drinks with him.
After all, they are college classmates and roommates, and they have a very good relationship.
He originally wanted to call his supervisor, Kuang Longfei, but Dong Chuan was busy now and Kuang Longfei probably didn't have time, so he simply stopped calling Kuang Longfei.
Coming out of the kitchen, passing through the dining room and living room, he left the villa alone, drove the Jetta parked outside the courtyard gate, left the villa area, and went straight to the city.
In the urban area, there are currently many of his restaurants. In addition to the braised chicken restaurant, there is also a Chinese restaurant in Fisherman's Wharf that specializes in river fish. But he did not go to any of his restaurants tonight, but found a hot pot restaurant.
, he ordered a red soup base, a bunch of dishes, and a few cans of Wong Lo Kat by himself. This was a table near the window on the second floor. He ate and drank alone, like a lonely dog.
Compared with the customers at other tables in this store, his place seemed particularly deserted.
There were at least two people at other tables, but here he was alone, a bit like a lonely single mixed in with a carnival crowd.
It's been a long time since he had hotpot alone.
Before his rebirth, he had quite a lot of experiences like this. Every time after falling out of love, he liked to find a hot pot restaurant and order some food and drink for himself.
Enjoy the delicious food alone and the loneliness in your heart.
He drove to the city just now and suddenly wanted to relive such days. At this time, he found some of the feeling of eating hot pot alone, that lonely state of mind.
Many people are afraid of loneliness. At this point, he is probably a little abnormal.
Why do you say that?
Maybe it’s because he writes novels! He likes to taste every mood in his life, whether he is happy or lonely...
When various moods are noticed by him, he likes to immerse himself in them for a while and is not in a hurry to get out of that state, because when each different mood appears, he can always understand some principles of life and writing, a bit like
The kind of experience life that traditional writers like to talk about.
With more experiences of various moods, the characters with various personalities in his works are getting better and better, at least that's what he thinks.
Because of this, even though he felt a little disappointed and regretful every time he was dumped by a woman before his rebirth, he didn't panic at all, let alone feel depressed or desperate.
On the contrary, he was a little happy and grateful.
I'm glad that I can experience the feeling of lovelorn again, and my ability to create characters in writing should be improved a little.
Therefore, he is grateful to the women he fell in love with and then broke up with. After all, they made him happy, and even breaking up can be helpful to him.
So, it seems a bit perverted?
Perhaps to be more precise...it's a bit like Ah Q's mentality.
Otherwise, what else can we do? They have already dumped him, do they have to cry and fight to prove that they really love him?
Or do you pester and harass others again and again? Are you persistent and won’t let go?
Why bother?
Why make things so ugly? Isn't it better to be more chic?
Wouldn’t it be better to use that state of mind to savor life a little more and draw some nourishment in writing from it?
He is such a person who can face breakups calmly. After all, he has broken up many times and can see clearly that the future is still waiting for him! There are so many beauties in the world who have experienced many love breakups.
I have told him long ago that the next girl may be more beautiful, but the premise is that she must maintain a good attitude and don't make herself look bitter and resentful. Beauties are not interested in men like that.
Sitting by the window, Sun Quan ate unhappily, but due to the season and the red soup base, sweat gradually broke out on his forehead.
From time to time he would take out a tissue and wipe it, thinking about the previous female candidates before his rebirth. He found that he could not remember the names of several previous female candidates.
He only remembered their general appearance and the impression they left on him in bed.
On the contrary, the appearance of Yuan Shuiqing and his daughter Sun Jiexin always appeared in his mind.
This made him laugh several times.
I thought to myself: There is no way I can be saved, I will be imprisoned for the rest of my life.
But he didn't immediately call or start a video call to contact Yuan Shuiqing. This night, he wanted to be alone.
People always need to calm down occasionally, think about their lives, look back on the past, sum up their gains and losses in life, think about the present, and look forward to the future.
He has no regrets about his past life now, including the more than ten years of being on the streets, the women who have come and gone in his life, and those relatives, friends, classmates or strangers who have given him
ridicule and cold looks.
In the past, he was unwilling to think about these things because every time he thought about them, he felt a little uncomfortable.
What a frustrated life! Unsatisfactory things in life will become ants biting your heart.
And now...
Recalling the frustrated days in the past, the books he published, the ex-girlfriends who left him one by one, the cold looks and ridicules, he just felt good.
Without those failed street works, he would not have learned how to write a novel bit by bit, nor would he have understood what readers like to read and what they don’t like to read.
If it weren't for those ex-girlfriends who left him one by one...he wouldn't know the correct posture of love. It was they who taught him how to get along with and fall in love with girls. Their departure was nothing to him.
A kind of spur, spurring him to work harder.
Before his rebirth, he had seen many men who were broken up in love or divorced. They never recovered and even lost their smiles.
For a period of time after he fell out of love for the first time, he was also like that. He was confused about life and... not confident in himself.
But gradually, the tenacity in his bones was inspired.
Once a girl leaves, after a while, he will find a better one.
As long as he can find a better one, it will prove that his ex-girlfriend was blind when she dumped him...
Haha, he knows this is a childish idea, but it feels good to actually do it. For example, if his ex-girlfriend is not tall, after breaking up, he will find someone who is tall; for example, if his ex-girlfriend is very good-looking,
But he has a selfish personality and is difficult to get along with. Next time he will find someone with a gentle and considerate personality.
He uses this childish method to maintain his passion for life and love.
But this approach also has a big side effect.
A side effect of this is that her new girlfriend almost always has higher requirements for her partner than his previous girlfriend.
This side effect caused him to be unable to enter the marriage hall.
For example, the reason why Wu Jing broke up with him at the beginning was that his new book was on the market and his life was lost. Sun Quan once thought that if the new book had not been on the market at that time, even if he could earn one or two thousand in royalties every month
, Wu Jing should not break up with him at that time.
and after?
Someone broke up with him because he couldn't even afford a house in a small town.
Someone broke up with him because he couldn't afford a house in the county town.
Some people broke up with him because they couldn't afford a house in the county town or provide other material conditions such as betrothal gifts.
This is all a price!
He had thought more than once that if he was willing to make do with it, if he could just make do with it, instead of looking for someone who was beautiful and had a good temperament, he might have gotten married and had a baby long ago.
Can……
He can see clearly in many things, but when it comes to the selection of women, he is always so superficial. His eyes are always attracted by women with good looks, good figures, and good temperaments.
If he had not been reborn, he might still be getting dumped by a female n years later.
Unless one day he can write several books in a row and earn more than 10,000 yuan a month.
"Sun Quan?"
Sun Quan, who was immersed in memories, was suddenly interrupted by a voice from beside him.
It's a woman's voice.
He subconsciously turned around and saw that it was Tang Xin who he hadn't seen for a long time, the biological sister of Kuang Longfei's ex-girlfriend Tang Tang.
"Oh, it's you! Are you coming to have dinner with your friends?"
Sun Quan smiled and raised his hand to say hello. The Tang Xin in front of him was much more mature than a few years ago. He was not taller, but his cheeks were plumper. He wore a pair of white jeans, a white shirt with a small lapel, and feet.
She was wearing a pair of black high-heeled shoes and was holding a black satchel in her hand. Beside her were two women, one fat and one thin, both of whom were not as tall as her.
Against the background of two fat and thin women, Tang Xin looked particularly youthful and attractive, like a red flower set off by two green leaves.
Tang Xin nodded with a smile, glanced at the empty seat opposite Sun Quan, and asked curiously: "Are you alone? Are there friends coming later?"
While she was asking, the two women beside her were looking at Sun Quan curiously, with polite and reserved smiles on their faces.
how to say?
It is said that "the body moves and the energy moves". The improvement of everyone's living conditions often brings about changes in body shape and temperament.
In 2006, when Sun Quang first met Tang Xin, Tang Xin was still a little girl who had just gone to college. At that time, Tang Xin was a little interested in him, but he always thought that she had just gone to college and had not yet finalized her views, so he was not interested in accompanying her.
We grew up together, but never accepted her hints.
At that time, Tang Xin was more youthful, less mature, and slightly childish.
Similarly, Sun Quan at that time was also thin. In addition to appearing more mature than his peers, his temperament was not very good.
And now?
Tang Xin has matured and become more beautiful, why hasn't Sun Quan changed?
To describe him only as fat or thin, he has gained weight, but in fact he has only become less thin. His temperament has long been very different from before. His simple clothes give off an expensive taste.
With his calm demeanor and gentle but bright eyes, he looks like a successful person.
He didn't deliberately pretend to be a comparison, but he was a big figure on his own.
Young women these days have such vicious eyes!
When the two female companions beside Tang Xin saw Sun Quan for the first time, they realized that this guy must be rich. The genuine leather bag on his hand looked very valuable.
And women, especially young women, will immediately become timid when they see a rich man unless they are confident.
"Well, no! It's just me. Are these two your friends?"
Sun Quan answered with a smile and asked a question by the way. He looked at the faces and bodies of the two women, one fat and one thin. From visual inspection, the two women were about the same age as Tang Xin. The thin one seemed to be a few years older.
, their looks are all above average, the thin one is not very thin, the fat one is not very fat, but compared with Tang Xin's well-proportioned figure, one of these two women looks thin, and the other looks fat.
Tang Xin nodded and extended her hand to introduce: "They are all my colleagues. We just made an appointment to have hot pot together after we got off work."
The two women nodded to Sun Quan with reserved smiles.
Sun Quan nodded in response and asked with a smile: "Oh? You haven't eaten yet?"
