At about 7 o'clock that night, Sun Quan simply packed up, took his mobile phone and wallet and came downstairs. When passing by the living room, he stopped and reached out to Gao Guang, who was watching TV on the sofa, and said, "Ah Guang, give me the car keys."
I, I'm going out."
Gao Guang was startled, subconsciously stood up, took out the keys and asked: "Mr. Sun, don't you need me and Youzhi to follow you?"
Tian Youzhi was not in the living room at this time and didn't know what he was doing.
Sun Quan shook his head, "No, I'll be back in a moment. Give me the key!"
Gao Guang hesitantly handed over the car keys, "Mr. Sun, how about I drive you?"
Sun Quan took the key, shook his head, and walked away without saying anything else.
Not long after, the sound of an engine roaring was heard outside the house, and it quickly went away.
The feeling of guilt, for Sun Quan, is a long-lost feeling.
Before his rebirth, he dated many women. He couldn't remember the exact number of them, and he didn't count them in detail, but he was dumped every time.
The conditions are poor!
He didn't look like a handsome guy in the standard sense, and his temper wasn't the kind of one that was always submissive to women, so being dumped became a common occurrence in his life.
The more times he was dumped, the less serious he was about each new relationship.
Because his previous failed relationship experiences taught him that the deeper you fall in love, the more severely you will be hurt when you are dumped.
Therefore, he learned to reserve a few points when he was in love and did not dare to pour out all his feelings.
So the question is, before he was reborn, he dated so many women, did he ever cheat during his relationship?
The real answer is: No!
But at that time, he thought about this question. If he cheated, would he feel guilty?
He feels that if he is in love, he may feel a little guilty, but if it is about to be dumped, he should not feel guilty.
But this time he crossed the line with Huo Yiyi, which made him feel guilty all the time.
Therefore, on the way to the cafe, Sun Quan had a firm idea in his heart, and he would make it clear to Huo Yiyi tonight.
In old times, it was the coffee shop he and Huo Yiyi met at tonight.
It is about a 15-minute drive from the Crescent Lake Villa Area.
The car stopped under the shade of a tree on the side of the road. Sun Quan was not in a hurry to get out of the car. He glanced at the Old Time Coffee on the side of the road and took out his mobile phone to dial Huo Yiyi's number.
"Hey, I'm here, how long does it take for you to arrive?" he asked.
"Brother Quan, I'm already here. I'm on the innermost seat by the window on the left hand side of the second floor. Come up!" Huo Yiyi's voice on the phone was soft and not loud.
Sun Quan was a little surprised that she came early.
But, that’s fine!
"Okay, wait a minute then!"
After saying that, Sun Quan put away his cell phone, took his wallet, opened the car door, and got out of the car.
"Welcome to the old days..."
When I walked in, the coffee girl at the door bowed and welcomed me with a sweet voice.
Sun Quan was not in the mood to glance at her. After entering the door, he glanced left and right, saw the stairs on the right wall, and walked up.
The interior decoration of this cafe is in a typical retro style. It has the feeling of the old magic city in the movie. Even the lights inside are dim. When he entered the door just now, he also caught a glimpse of a retro record player on the bar.
Wandering around there, retro music...singing was flowing throughout the cafe.
The second floor is quite empty.
The guests at each table are relatively far apart, and each table is separated by potted plants.
"Welcome to the old days, sir! How may I serve you?"
As soon as he reached the second floor, another coffee girl bowed to greet Sun Quan.
"I'm looking for someone."
Sun Quan replied, without stopping, and strode to the left according to the direction Huo Yiyi just told him. The young coffee girl followed behind at a trot.
Soon, Sun Quan saw Huo Yiyi sitting there by the window.
She happened to see him too, and she quickly stood up, with a slightly stiff smile on her face, and her cheeks turned slightly red.
Sun Quan smiled faintly, strode over, stretched out his hand to signal, "Sit down! Sit down and talk later!"
"Okay, Brother Quan!"
Huo Yiyi brushed the back of her short skirt with her right hand and sat down with a somewhat stiff smile on her face.
She tonight was different from Sun Quan's impression of her.
He no longer looked as free and natural as before, and looked a little shy, but the look in his eyes seemed much brighter than before.
This expression is familiar to him.
Before his rebirth, when he was twenty-four or five years old, he dated two girlfriends. When they first dated him, he remembered their expressions and states as if they were like Huo Yiyi in front of him.
Those two or three years were the peak period of his appearance.
Everyone has their own peak period of appearance, that's for sure.
The only difference is that some people still look average even when they are at the peak of their appearance.
As for Sun Quan... before his rebirth, before he was twenty-four or five years old, his appearance was not very handsome, and he was just average-looking. Since college, more than 80% of his thoughts have been on novels, so he is a bit slovenly.
, his clothes, hairstyle, etc. were very casual. In addition, he lacked self-confidence at that time, so in terms of appearance, he stood out from the crowd.
It was not until he was twenty-four or five years old that he gradually matured and gained some experience and his own style in terms of dressing and grooming.
In addition, during that time, one of his novels happened to achieve good results, which greatly enhanced his self-confidence.
Once a person is confident, his eyes will not be wandering when he looks at others, and his movements will give people different feelings.
It also seems to have a bit of a legendary aura.
During those two or three years, Sun Quan could clearly feel that his attraction to women had improved a lot.
When he was walking on the road, there were often people turning back to look at him.
It was also during those two or three years that his success rate in picking up girls... let's put it this way! In those two or three years, he was never rejected by a woman.
It was also during that time that he saw a shy and timid look of admiration in the eyes of his then-girlfriend.
But it only lasted two or three years.
After that, because he stayed up late all night typing, his face gradually turned pale and his cheeks gradually became puffy. When women looked at him again, they returned to the calm and dead look before.
"Sorry for keeping you waiting for so long!"
Sun Quan casually put his wallet, cell phone, and keys on the table, and apologized to Huo Yiyi.
Huo Yiyi smiled and shook her head, "It's okay. I've just arrived. By the way, Brother Quan, what do you want to drink? Can I order some for you?"
She already had a cup of coffee in front of herself.
Sun Quan glanced to the side and happened to see the coffee girl walking over quickly. He said directly to the coffee girl: "Bring me a cup of coffee! Add sugar! Thank you."
The coffee girl was slightly surprised, glanced at Huo Yiyi opposite Sun Quan, nodded quickly, and said with a smile: "Okay! Please wait a moment!"
The coffee girl was quite eye-catching, so she agreed and left quickly.
For a moment, only Sun Quan and Huo Yiyi were left in this corner.
This is probably the position chosen intentionally by Huo Yiyi.
"Brother Quan, have you eaten tonight?"
Huo Yiyi bit her lip gently and took the initiative to find a topic.
Sun Quan nodded slightly and looked at Huo Yiyi across from him. He had to admit in his heart that Huo Yiyi was very beautiful tonight and seemed to have been dressed up specially.
The white shirt on her upper body had very new creases. She must have just put it on. She must have just taken a shower before coming here. He could smell the aroma of shampoo coming from her side, and every strand of her hair was wet.
Sleek and shiny, shoulder-length straight black hair, contrasting with the white shirt, makes her appear delicate and yet innocent.
Her skin color is as white as snow, and her eyebrows are delicate.
Slightly nervous, the fingers of his hands folded on the table were as smooth as onions.
She also wore a gold bracelet on her left wrist. He had seen many women wearing this on their wrists before, but he had to say that this gold bracelet had the best effect on Huo Yiyi's wrist.
In terms of appearance and temperament, Huo Yiyi is not inferior to his wife Yuan Shuiqing.
Before his rebirth, he had never dared to pursue such a white, rich and beautiful person, because he was self-aware.
If he didn't have Yuan Shuiqing in this life, if a girl like Huo Yiyi favored him, he would definitely be willing.
but……
The Qing Dynasty has died. In modern society, a man can only marry one woman.
Therefore, he sighed secretly in his heart, and his decision when he came did not waver.
Not only did he not waver, but he became more determined.
He didn't want to hurt his wife Yuan Shuiqing, nor did he want to delay Huo Yiyi.
Besides, Huo Yiyi was still kind to him and Yuan Shuiqing, so he didn't want to delay her even more.
"Brother Quan, when are you going to visit the filming of the second season of "Dead Man's Last Wish"? I have never seen you there before when I was on the filming crew..."
Seeing that Sun Quan didn't find a topic, Huo Yiyi hesitated and took the initiative to find another topic.
Sun Quan shook his head slightly, "I won't go to the crew for this season's filming. The crew has been handed over to Wang Zheng."
After a pause, he asked casually: "What? Have you been participating in the filming of the crew recently?"
Seeing him asking in return, Huo Yiyi's expression relaxed slightly and her smile became more natural, "Well, but I don't have many scenes. I finished filming a few days ago, and I went back to work recently."
Sun Quan nodded. He remembered that he had indeed seen some scenes involving Huo Yiyi in the shooting materials that Wang Zheng brought back every day.
The reason why he didn't think about it for a while was mainly because his mind was not on that topic just now.
"By the way, Brother Quan, have you ever thought about when you would also play a guest role in this drama?"
…
The topic opened up and the two started chatting around the filming of the crew.
Sun Quan didn't talk to him about his affairs with her for a while.
It wasn't that he had changed his mind, but that he was waiting for the coffee he had just ordered to be served. He didn't want to be interrupted by the waiter who brought the coffee when he was talking to Huo Yiyi about the matter.
Therefore, since Huo Yiyi brought the topic to the filming of the crew, he followed her topic and chatted with her for a while.
Finally, a coffee girl came over with the coffee he had just ordered.
After the coffee lady left, Sun Quan stirred the coffee in the cup with a spoon, lowered his head slightly, and brewed for a few seconds. When he raised his head again, his voice became lower.
"Yiyi, I'm sorry!"
The expression on Huo Yiyi's face froze and she frowned slightly, "Brother Quan, why are you apologizing to me? You have nothing to apologize for, right?"
There was confusion in her eyes.
Sun Quan felt ashamed and embarrassed to look at her. He lowered his gaze slightly and said softly: "Yiyi, what happened a few days ago...I'm talking about what happened a few days ago, I'm sorry!"
Huo Yiyi's expression was frozen, her mouth slightly opened, and she stared at him blankly, the blush on her face quickly receding.
Sun Quan's expression at this moment made her realize what he probably wanted to say to her tonight.
So, she fell silent.
But a pair of eyes still looked at him blankly.
Sun Quan raised his eyes and glanced at her. Seeing her expression, he sighed secretly again.
But since the words have already begun, let’s make it clear today!
He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yiyi, we are friends. You and Shui Qing are also friends. You are very good! But I am already married, so I am sorry about what happened that night. I hope..."
He wanted to continue to apologize, but Huo Yiyi suddenly interrupted him.
"Brother Quan! I don't blame you! Really, I don't blame you! Besides, I was the one who took the initiative that night, so I can't blame you for this. Just stop talking about it, okay, Brother Quan? I understand what you mean.
, let’s stop here today, okay?”
Hearing this, Sun Quan was a little surprised that she would say that.
He looked up at her.
But Huo Yiyi's face looked a little pale at this time.
His eyes were not as bright as before.
She forced a smile, stood up and said, "Brother Quan, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first! Goodbye!"
After saying that, she walked away, walking quickly for a few steps, then suddenly turned around and came back, a little panicked, reaching out to take a handbag from where he was just now, and then smiled awkwardly at Sun Quan and said, "I almost forgot.
My bag, Brother Quan, I’m leaving first! Drink slowly, goodbye!”
Saying goodbye, she hurriedly turned around and left.
Sun Quan squinted and watched quietly without making a sound to stop him.
Before coming tonight, he knew that tonight would definitely end on a bad note and that everyone would not be happy.
The scene before him was what he expected.
But seeing Huo Yiyi so flustered and in such a low mood made him feel a little depressed.
He hurt her after all.
Whether it was out of friendship or Huo Yiyi's kindness to him when his daughter was born, he didn't want Huo Yiyi to be so sad.
But, there was nothing he could do.
This was the best choice he could think of.
Otherwise, if you continue to delay, the result will only be worse.
Cutting the knot with a sharp knife...is good for everyone.
Listening to Huo Yiyi's panicked footsteps walking away quickly, Sun Quan did not look back at her back. He just lowered his head slightly, took out the spoon from his coffee cup, then picked up the cup of coffee, and raised his head as if drinking.
Lift your neck and drink it all in one gulp.
…
When he went downstairs, he paid the bill. When Huo Yiyi left, she was probably too flustered and forgot.
Walking out of the cafe, looking at the neon-lit streets outside, the city was very bustling at night, with luxury cars everywhere and well-dressed pedestrians on the roadside. Sun Quan saw it, but only felt it was a glimmer of light.
He said sorry to Huo Yiyi in his heart, but he did not regret his decision tonight.
Some mistakes should be corrected from the beginning.
You can't make the same mistake again and again.
For some things, there is no best-of-both-worlds solution.
