I didn't want to drink at first, but seeing my good friend of so many years cry like this suddenly made me feel uncomfortable, so I took the initiative to pick up a can of Yanjing beer and touched it with him.
"Don't think so much, we are only thirty years old and have plenty of time."
Zhao Yue wiped his eyes, forced a smile on his face, picked up the beer, raised his head and took a few sips.
The somewhat bitter liquid slipped into my throat and suppressed my tumbling emotions. Maybe the Zhao Yue in front of me is me in the future.
Lu Jingjing also followed my words and comforted him: "Yu Bin is right, you are only thirty years old, and a man is still a flower when he is forty! Don't put too much pressure on yourself. It's not like we don't have a house in our hometown. Why? Why do we have to take root in a big city? Prices here are high and houses are expensive. It’s not our home yet. I’ve long wanted to go back to my hometown in the county.”
After Lu Jingjing finished speaking, I was happy for Zhao Yue from the bottom of my heart. His career was average, but he had a good wife and his life was better than many people I knew. Who said you have to be rich to be successful?
Zhao Yue showed a relieved smile and turned to look at me, "When will you and Feifei get married? You must tell us as a couple! We will definitely attend your wedding no matter where it is."
I picked up the beer can and touched it with him, sighing: "There are a lot of difficulties between the two of us. First of all, her mother doesn't agree with us, and I can't afford a house here. I will write this when I go back to my hometown. No problem, but what should she do? If she quits her job and goes back to my hometown with me, she won’t be able to find a job as a flight attendant."
Zhao Yue took a sip of wine and said, "No, you need to make a down payment first. Jingjing and I also have tens of thousands of dollars in savings. Just talk to us when you use it."
After Zhao Yue finished speaking, Lu Jingjing glanced at him, with a bit of helplessness in those talking eyes.
In fact, I can understand Lu Jingjing very well. After a woman becomes a mother, her thoughts will change. The first thing she must consider is her own child.
When Zhao Yue said this, if Lu Jingjing was in her twenties, she would definitely agree without thinking, but now she thinks more about it.
My heart is burning, and my chest seems to be blocked by an unspeakable emotion. I am very touched that Zhao Yue can say this, but it is not easy for anyone, and I cannot be ignorant!
I shook my head slowly and refused: "Come on! Don't borrow money when you have nothing to do these days! You have to keep your money for your children! Haven't you heard a word? There are many ways to end a friendship. , the most radical one is to borrow money and not pay it back.”
When I finished speaking, Lu Jingjing looked at me with mixed emotions.
I read gratitude, relief and guilt in her eyes.
I looked into her eyes and smiled, "From now on, you will put your children first, and I will have to step aside."
Lu Jingjing smiled sweetly, "It's not as exaggerated as you said, it's not serious. By the way, if you decide to buy a house here, can your hometown help you get some?"
I shook my head, "My parents already had a lot of money for the house in my hometown in the county. I can't ask for it anymore, and it won't be easy for them."
Lu Jingjing's eyes lit up and she smiled and said, "Yu Bin, I have known you for so long, and I finally feel that you have grown up."
I was stunned for a moment, clinked glasses with Zhao Yue again, and said with a smile, "How do you say that?"
"I think you are calmer than before."
I smiled and sighed, "How should I put it? When I was in my twenties, I thought I could change the world. Now I think it's better if I don't let the world change me."
After so many years of wandering and experiencing so many beatings, I have been able to accept my own ordinaryness and the ordinaryness of my parents. Maybe I will have to accept the ordinaryness of my children in the future. Maybe the so-called maturity means slowly accepting ordinaryness.
After I said what was in my heart, I felt much better. In fact, I also understood that with my current salary and no food or drink, it would take at least several decades to buy a house here.
When I met love again, reality showed me its cruel side again.
When I left Zhao Yue's house, I received a call from Lin Feifei. She was about to leave at the bar and asked me if I wanted to pick her up.
I also drank, so I left my motorcycle at Zhao Yue’s house, then took a taxi and went straight to the bar.
When I arrived at the bar, I happened to catch them leaving.
I saw several men and women coming out of the bar from a distance. Among these people, apart from Lin Feifei, I only knew Xue Qiuyun.
There are many beauties among them, but Lin Feifei is definitely the most beautiful among them.
"Let's leave first! Feifei, how do you leave?"
I just walked over and one of the handsome guys asked Lin Feifei this.
Lin Feifei pointed at me and walked drunkenly, "My boyfriend is here to pick me up."
This guy stared at me with an evil look and deliberately turned the Audi car key in his hand, showing a sense of superiority. Read the book
"Oh, what kind of car does your boyfriend drive?" He suddenly said in a sinister tone.
Feeling the malice coming from this guy, I rolled my eyes.
My response to this kind of person is that you live your life and I live mine. Saying more than one word to such a person is a waste of life.
Lin Feifei suddenly became unhappy, frowned, stared into his eyes, and asked, "Zhao Nan, what do you mean by asking like that?"
Xue Qiuyun couldn't listen anymore and couldn't help but reply: "No one talks like you! It's over!"
This guy named Zhao Nan was so angry that he smiled apologetically, and quickly explained: "I don't mean anything else, I'm just curious!"
Lin Feifei glared at him and said coldly: "Okay, don't ask me to come out to drink if you have nothing to do in the future."
After saying that, she took the initiative to hold my arm and suddenly smiled, "Let's go!"
Zhao Nan looked a little unhappy and shouted to Lin Feifei unwillingly: "It's hard to take a taxi here, how about I give you a ride?"
Lin Feifei refused: "No, I think walking is fine!"
She paused, curled her lips, and said to me in a coquettish tone, "Do you think so?"
I laughed out loud, looked down at the ten-centimeter high heels on her feet, then walked to her and squatted down in front of her.
"How can I let my girlfriend walk in high heels! Come on up! I'll carry you!"
Suddenly, Lin Feifei jumped on my back.
I turned around and said hello to them. The guy named Zhao Nan looked extremely ugly.
When I meet someone who makes me uncomfortable, I will only be happy if I make the other person even more unhappy.
I carried Lin Feifei on my back and walked forward along the street. From time to time, passers-by looked at us, but I didn't care.
When the lanterns came on, the whole street was illuminated as brightly as daytime. The vehicles that were going back and forth on the road were blocked, like a long queue. And I was just carrying Lin Feifei on my back, walking silently on the road...
