At six o'clock in the afternoon, as usual, I left the coffee shop carrying my computer bag under the contemptuous eyes of the waiter.
In the past two months, I have come here every day to write novels as if I were at work. I arrive at 9 a.m. and leave at 6 p.m., rain or shine.
Just two months ago, I was laid off, and I was honored to be one of the layoffs from a large factory.
After receiving the resignation gift package, I felt as if I had fallen from heaven to hell.
Anxiety, confusion, panic...
Like a beast dormant in the dark, biting me all the time.
I work in live broadcast operations. There is no internal drive in this industry, only involution. It is already in a slump. This year, there have been layoffs one after another. It is more difficult to compete for jobs than to accept customers.
In the past two months, I applied for more than a dozen positions and went through constant interviews, but I didn't get a suitable offer.
"Sir, do you want to buy flowers?"
After coming out of the coffee shop, I checked the news on the recruitment platform with my mobile phone. A little girl selling flowers suddenly stood in front of me, interrupting my thoughts.
Looking at the little girl's face, I was stunned for a moment, and then I saw the bunches of roses in her arms, and finally remembered -
Oh, today is Chinese Valentine's Day.
So I bought a large bouquet of roses, thinking of giving Kuang Li a surprise.
We've both been under a lot of pressure recently and often quarreled and bickered over trivial matters.
We had a quarrel before going out this morning. I angrily said that I would not be back after working overtime today, and then we ignored each other the whole day.
I still hide the layoffs from Kuang Li until now.
I was planning to go back to my hometown for a wedding on the 11th, and the house decoration and other things had already been completed, but God decided to lay off my job, which was like a blow to the head, catching me off guard.
I rushed home as fast as I could.
The door was not closed properly, and I felt helpless. Kuang Li was good at everything, but she was too careless.
I opened the door with joy and saw a pair of LV men's shoes on the ground.
My head suddenly buzzed.
Blank.
The bone-numbing breathing in the bedroom and the rough sound of the headboard hitting the wall were like thunder mixed with lightning, as if they were about to split me in half.
a bolt from the blue!
A cold air rushed from the soles of my feet to Tianling Gai, and I felt the blood all over my body condense instantly.
The two people in the room were so engrossed in the performance that they didn't even notice me standing at the door with bulging veins.
I can't believe that Kuang Li cheated on her.
I remember she always mentioned him to me. He was a client of her company. I only remembered his surname, Zhang, but nothing else.
My whole body was shaking uncontrollably, like an irritated dog, and I kicked the door in with my right foot with all my strength.
The doggy man and woman on the bed were frightened half to death, haha...
Kuang Li screamed, then hurriedly wrapped Chun Guang in the quilt.
I picked up the broom behind the door, rushed to the bed in three steps and whipped the man hard, beating and cursing: "Cao! A thief sneaked into my house! I jumped on your horse today." !”
As soon as the broom was swung over, the plastic broom broke instantly. The man named Zhang screamed and squatted down while covering his head.
Unable to understand my hatred, I grabbed the photo frame on the table and slapped him on the head without hesitation, causing the photo frame to shatter.
He covered his head and screamed, blood flowing down between his fingers.
I looked down at the photo taken by Kuang Li and me in Sanya last year. She was riding on my back, looking at the camera. After nine years of long-distance love, the relationship finally came true. The two people in the photo looked so perfect for each other. happiness.
The sky was stained with men's blood, azure blue filled with scarlet.
I was stunned, and then tears circled in my eye sockets.
Shaking my head and leaving my kindness behind, I picked up the broomstick and gestured to step forward again.
At this time, Kuang Li hugged me tightly from behind, cried loudly and begged me to stop, and then gestured to the man to run away.
The bastard named Zhang saw me being dragged by Kuang Li, grabbed my clothes and pants, and ran out naked.
I spent a lot of effort to get rid of Kuang Li. As soon as I rushed to the door of the master bedroom, I heard Kuang Li suddenly cry from behind, and then knelt down to me with a thud.
"Yu Bin, I beg you, stop fighting and let him go!"
My whole body suddenly froze, as if a restraining spell had been cast on me, and I was instantly pulled back to the Antarctic from a state of rage, and my whole body was chilled to the bone.
I turned around in a daze, and she was kneeling naked in front of me, with tears streaming down her face.
be terribly upset.
I looked at her in disbelief, and my eyes were in a trance.
"Why?"
We have received the certificate, and I am about to put a ring on her and get married with my own hands. Why does she want to ruin everything with her own hands? !
Kuang Li's emotions were out of control. She burst into tears and burst into tears.
"I'm sorry, Yu Bin. It's me who's sorry for you. Let's break up! Just think that I'm not worthy of you! He gave me too much, but you can't!"
I took a deep breath, "Are you talking about a house? Didn't you buy a house in your hometown?"
"But I want to stay in Beijing!"
Kuang Li raised her head stubbornly and shouted at me: "What's so good about that little broken town in my hometown? Why did I come here? Just to put down roots here! I don't want to run back in disgrace! I don't want to have children in the future. , he is still like me, his vision is only the small piece of sky in his hometown!"
The sight of her crying made my heart ache.
Money is the touchstone for testing relationships. It allows me to see the person in front of me clearly and also tests the quality of this relationship.
My love affair with this woman lasted from my sophomore year to just now.
After graduating from college, countless couples who were once promising have separated, but the two of us have survived until now.
Before today, I naively thought that our love was as strong as gold, but now I understand that it turned out that I just didn’t give enough.
I took a deep breath and looked at Kuang Li's familiar yet unfamiliar face. I took out a cigarette from my pocket, lit it tremblingly, took two deep puffs, and coughed violently due to the nicotine mixed with carbon monoxide.
There was silence for a while. After I regained my composure, I looked around again, my nose feeling a little sore.
Every object in this room is a piece of our nine years, my youth.
Except this woman.
"Stop making excuses for your affair! I'll be waiting for you at the Civil Affairs Bureau at ten o'clock tomorrow!"
After saying that, I gave her a hard look, smoked a cigarette and turned around to leave.
I went back again in the middle of the night, but she was not at home. I packed up my documents and essentials in a haphazard manner, and left this "home" overnight.
I didn't even take any clothes with me, and I didn't want to take away anything that reminded me of the past.
After leaving home, I wandered the streets aimlessly like a zombie.
The night got darker, and I saw the lights of thousands of houses along the road, but my soul no longer had a home.
Unknowingly, I walked to the bar street and looked at the bars with shining neon lights. I had mixed feelings.
I haven't been to a place like this for a long time. Kuang Li used to be very tight-knit and wouldn't let me come to a place like this. Now that I'm out of her control, I'm completely alone. I can finally be unscrupulous.
Most of the people who come here to drink are frustrated people, right?
Mixing among the crowd, it seems that I am not so alone in the world.
I forgot who told me that ups and downs are inevitable in a person's life, but I would rather trade the life of this adulterer and adulteress in exchange for spending my whole life in bed.
I ordered a Long Island iced tea and a whiskey neat.
Long Island Iced Tea, although the name of this drink is subtle, it is actually mixed with five kinds of 40-proof spirits. The intensity can be imagined, but after mixed with orange juice and pomegranate juice, it is as beautiful and beautiful as the sunset. Danger.
I drank to myself, and soon became a prey in the eyes of some people.
Several beauties dressed sexyly and with hot bodies came over from time to time, rubbed my arms schemingly, and asked me sweetly if I could buy them a drink.
They were all beautiful, but I declined them all.
It's not that I don't have worldly desires, but at the moment I just want to be alone and quietly. If they continue to mess with me, I'm afraid they will kill me.
My head hurts from the smell of perfume, and the air in the bar is not that circulated, so I might as well go out and smoke a cigarette to get some fresh air.
Walking crookedly to the door, a tall woman was about to come in.
She didn't look very old, in her mid-twenties, with a tall and well-proportioned figure, and her white dress was gently blown by the night wind.
Ah, the skirt corners are flying.
She is very beautiful, even with light makeup, she still gives people a stunning look.
I'm used to wearing heavy makeup, but her look with a light sweep of her eyebrows made my eyes shine.
The door of this bar is very narrow and only one person can be allowed to pass through at a time. I was afraid that I would bump into her when I went out, so I joked: "Beauty, please give way and don't stop me from drinking the northwest wind."
