In the dark of night, Zhou Shutong and I sat down on the side of the road as if there was no one around, amidst the surprised eyes of others.
Before Zhou Shutong sat down, I took off my coat and handed it to her, letting her sit under her buttocks. Zhou Shutong was so impressed by my gentlemanly details that he smiled and said thank you.
I sat down next to her and looked up at the infinite night sky together.
There are very few stars in the night, but they shine brightly, as if guarding the vast night sky.
I couldn't help but think of Lin Feifei, and suddenly I had a strong thought in my heart. The relationship between her and me is like the stars and the night sky. Although my starlight is weak, I am willing to devote my weak starlight to the night sky without reservation.
"What are you thinking about?" Zhou Shutong suddenly interrupted my thoughts.
I was stunned, broke free from my daze, pointed to a lone star above my head, and said with a smile:
"I wonder if each of us is like a star. Although the light is weak, we are already working hard to spread our own light."
Zhou Shutong raised his head and smiled: "Why are you suddenly sentimental? This is not like your style!"
"It's not sentimental, but I have some new thoughts on life."
I glanced at her and smiled sheepishly, "Do you think I'm a bit stupid? I'm thirty years old. I don't want to make money, and my mind is full of things I have and don't have?"
Most of my peers around me have already started families and started businesses, and have turned into machines busy making money. It seems that I am the only one who, at this age when I should be running for a living, is still dreaming of an erratic, dreamlike love.
Zhou Shutong pursed his lips and smiled, "No, life is nothing more than an experience. Life should focus on experience, and you can enjoy all the ups and downs. You can't make enough money. Your life is so long. It doesn't matter if you make less every now and then."
My heart was beating wildly, I glanced at her in surprise, and said with a smile, "Okay, you! Now you are getting better and better at keeping up with my thinking."
Zhou Shutong curled his lips and pushed me angrily, "Get out! I didn't want you to praise yourself like that!"
She paused, looked at me seriously, and said, "Do you know why I like to be with you?"
I was startled and shook my head blankly.
This problem has actually bothered me for a long time. I am broke, and to put it bluntly, I am cleaner than my face. But Zhou Shutong has been with me all the time. I can't figure out why.
Zhou Shutong smiled sweetly, "Because you are an emotional person. The most important thing in your heart is actually feelings, not money. You will not do anything for money. You value feelings and your own inner feelings. I There are many people around me who will do whatever it takes to make money. They have been working for so many years. What kind of workplace pua are they stepping on others to gain power for the sake of profit? I have seen this kind of thing too much, so you make me feel different from others. You make me feel safe. Feel, with you, I will never worry about you stabbing me in the back, you are the kind of person that I can really show my back to."
I was stunned, and suddenly I felt like something was burning in my heart. Her few words made me feel that her heart was completely open to me. This feeling of being trusted made me feel that I was not actually Alone.
Looking at the sincere eyes in front of me, I smiled and deliberately joked: "Is it true that only the back can be entrusted to me? Isn't the front worth entrusting to me?"
Zhou Shutong blinked his big watery eyes slyly and raised the corners of his lips: "It's not that I don't want to, it's mainly because you don't want to!"
"..."
I originally wanted to make a joke on her, but I didn't expect that I couldn't do it.
At this time, Zhang Xi staggered over with skewers and a few bottles of beer, "The skewers are ready! You guys eat first, I'll continue grilling!"
Zhou Shutong handed me a few skewers of mutton, then opened a bottle of beer and pushed it in front of me. He smiled and said, "Come have a drink with me today! I'll call a driver to drive back later."
I haven't drank for a long time, and I felt a little bit anxious. I picked up a bottle of beer and was about to drink it. Then I suddenly saw with my peripheral vision that the people around me who were still queuing up looked surprised. Surprised eyes stared at us.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Shutong asked.
I smiled and clinked the wine bottles with her, "It's nothing. I just realized that other people are looking at us!"
After that, I continued to blow a few times, and the somewhat bitter liquid flowed into my throat, and I suddenly felt that my whole body was clear.
Zhou Shutong also blew directly into the bottle. She put down the bottle, wiped her chin casually with the back of her hand, and smiled disapprovingly: "Maybe they treat us as mentally ill? Hahaha..."
After saying that, she let out a burst of laughter like silver bells, and now more people looked towards us.
I looked her up and down and said with a smile: "Is there a possibility that they are looking at you? She is wearing a famous brand and looks so beautiful, but she is eating barbecue on the roadside without any image. It is so subversive. "
"It doesn't matter, I don't need to care about anyone's eyes."
I was touched in my heart and raised the wine bottle, "Then I'll toast you. I hope we don't live in the eyes of others."
After taking another sip of beer, I just put the bottle down when Zhou Shutong suddenly snatched a bunch of tendons from my hand and stuffed it into my mouth.
"Okay, don't keep drinking. Let's eat something to calm down."
"Aren't you happy to see you? By the way, when will the live broadcast of your new job start?"
"Next Mon."
"So fast?"
"That's right! The company can't support me every day! I'm going to do something big. With my qualifications, it's actually rare to get into such a big company. I must become a big anchor, and the boss is very optimistic about me!"
When talking about her career, Zhou Shutong's eyes suddenly lit up, and there was suddenly a kind of desire and confidence in her eyes. She looked very demure, but there was an indescribable nobility between her eyebrows.
Nowadays, there are thousands of anchors who want to break out of the siege. This road is destined to be long and difficult, but for some reason, she seems to have a kind of magic power that makes me firmly believe that she can do it.
My emotions were suddenly ignited by her. In the past, I always felt that my so-called dreams were getting further and further away from me. The disapproval of my family and people around me made me fall into deep self-doubt. Later, I finally understood that their so-called dreams It’s for your own good. In fact, it’s nothing more than wanting to bring you to the same level as them. It seems that I should live according to their ideas, otherwise it would be wrong.
I raised the bottle again and smiled smartly: "Then I wish us all success! I will also start working hard to become the person I want to be."
"Okay! Then I'll be waiting." Zhou Shutong smiled sweetly.
"When I get rich, I will open a separate company for you, and everyone will work around you..."
"Hahaha, stop painting a pie for me."
"Yes, it's on your face."
"..."
