The midnight bell sounded from the empty study. Because the game console was placed in the room adjacent to the study, the ripple-like echo after the bell sounded a bit ethereal and eerie. Yucheng was so frightened that he almost turned off the game console, but as he silently stared at the eight bedrooms on the first and second floors, Yucheng still didn't feel tired at all.
"Yes, Seungmei and I don't just have those bad memories. When we first started dating, she was the kind of girl who loved to make fun and laugh, not gentle enough, but very innocent and kind!"
The moonlight was blocked by the thick curtains. After turning off the last light, Yucheng's eyes suddenly felt almost blind. He reluctantly fumbled and grabbed his phone from the desk. The locked album was full of Chengmei tonight. As the slides flipped through each frame, Chengmei worked hard to arouse the atmosphere of the party. Finally, the slideshow ended with the photo of the shaking sieve bucket. At this time, Chengmei was standing sideways in the sea like a gathering of waves. among colleagues. From a long distance, Yucheng could only vaguely see the outline of Chengmei, but the sound like firecrackers and cheers still lingered in Yucheng's ears.
Gradually, Yucheng's thoughts flew back to the year when the two first met. That sunny day, Chengmei was holding the cat and lying on the wisteria wicker chair. The cat's meow and Chengmei's breathing intertwined and rippled in Yu. In Chengmei's ear, Yucheng stopped in surprise and stared at the sleeping girl quietly. When the coolness of the acacia tree reflected around Chengmei's chin, the whole world became quiet, as if the stop button had been pressed.
"Chengmei..." Yucheng's hand slowly stretched out to the other shore that could never be reached. At the end of the memory, Chengmei was still a "girl" who was still young. (Girl: the nickname given to Yucheng and Chengmei when they first established their relationship)
A vague but familiar picture flashed through Chengmei's mind without any clue. If this was desire, it was also an overwhelming desire that was hard to let go of.
Chengmei woke up from a familiar dream and silently looked at the window-sized dark night. Unknowingly, Yucheng's face quietly appeared on the blue-purple clouds. It turns out that everyone who is not happy to see him After the moment passed, he would look at his back with deep affection. Even every sigh, every smile, every silence. Yucheng's eyes would flick up and down violently. "What kind of love is that? A stranger keeps looking at me with the eyes of a lover." For Chengmei, who lives in this time and space, Yucheng's feelings are like the bright Milky Way, no matter how she is As he got closer, his eyes contained more secrets that he couldn't fathom.
In Song's villa, after the quiet and crisp sound of pouring bottles, Yucheng sat on the marble floor as the beer flowed down. One of his hands subconsciously rested on the armrest behind him, and the other His hand was blocked by the curved coffee table. At this time, he felt a little lonely. His eyes were trembling slightly, sweat was dripping from the tip of his nose, and his breathing neck protruded toward the top of his shirt...
Perhaps the thoughts can resonate. At this time, Yucheng and the two Chengmei inside and outside time and space are looking at the same sky and sea. It was as if he had seen it with his own eyes and touched it with his own hands. Looking at the slides flying by in the window, Yucheng heard Chengmei's vivid breathing for the first time in a long time.
"The color of lost dreams is as deep and blue as the sea
I want to tell you all the words
Just like I want to forget this loneliness
No matter how sad you are, you can tell me
Staring at the rainbow in your pupils
In the night when I want to cry
If a girl opens a dusty gem box, please don't blame her
The day I cut off my long hair because of love
The wind that wiped away my tears told me
To meet you
is the meaning of life
(quote lyrics)"
Looking at the playfully shining moonlight, Chengmei tossed and turned again and again.
"Pa!" The phone screen suddenly turned off, and Yucheng returned to loneliness. The skinny wife Chengmei appeared in front of him again...
"Ah! It hurts." The slippers were thrown heavily on the face of Yu Cheng who had just opened the door.
Yucheng was stunned at first, and then he and Chengmei glared at each other for a long time.
"You actually have the nerve to come back!" Chengmei looked at Yucheng with black eyes, and cursed "coward, worthless, waste, idiot" breathlessly. At that moment, two Yucheng from different time and space simultaneously heard a sound like something was broken coming from somewhere in their hearts.
"Listen to my explanation, I didn't mean not to go see my mother-in-law with you. I'm really working overtime today." Yucheng said without looking directly.
"Don't be ridiculous, you are obviously an irresponsible man. Forget it about doing this to me and my mother, as for the children, whether they pick them up or drop them off, take care of them, or tutor them in their homework, which of the things have you done before marriage?! You said that you are outside and I am inside, but how do you do your job? If I were you, no matter how stupid I was, I would still be able to reach the position of supervisor in ten years. But as for you, you will stay in the same place forever. , the salary has only increased a little with the length of service. Now even a newcomer who has just worked for three years is better than you! Don’t forget that it was you who insisted on having a second child. Now our days are stretched, and the two children are studying The cost of care and maintenance is so high, what do you want me to do?"
Chengmei's roar was like thunder, and with just one thunder, the sky in the west became as bright as day.
"Ming Yao, Ke Mian, I have already thought about divorcing Li Chengmei next week. You don't need to persuade me, there is no room for negotiation between me and her. As for the child, I have lost all hope in my life. I'm really sorry for this, but I promise that I won't owe anything in terms of alimony."
When he took a deep breath, two deep dimples were revealed on Yucheng's collarbone. Ming Yao and Ke Mian, who were sitting next to them, had their lips as round as small balloons.
"After all, I am also the father of two children. I feel that you really cannot be willful at this time. You and your sister-in-law are divorced, and the most pitiful thing is the children." Ming Yao said emotionally, but Yu Cheng couldn't empathize.
Yes, although there are some things that you can't open your eyes to see, you can still imagine them in your mind when you close your eyes. With a bang, another wine bottle fell from the table. Looking at the shattered glass, Yucheng covered his face and laughed in despair.
"Why is it always me who is the most pitiful! No matter which time and space I am in, my home will always be surrounded by a colorless darkness. Seungmi was like this in the past, and Joohyun is like this now. Haha, why is my life always like this? So bad."
At a certain moment, a blade with ice crystals flew toward Yucheng's heart. Yucheng subconsciously protected his heart, but his heart still hurt.
"Ai Xi! What are you thinking about? How can you blame Zhuxuan? Although the relationship is not beautiful, I have realized my previous dream. Now that I have entered such a splendid home, I can no longer forget the people in the last time and space. Even if Seung-mei appears in my life again, she is now a free person. No matter who she falls in love with, getting married is her freedom! Whether married life is sweet or miserable has nothing to do with me."
Comforting himself in this way, the silent window vaguely reflected the scene of Zhuxuan in the bar private room, mingling with his girlfriends.
"Aren't I just going out to have fun with my good friends? And I told you that we would meet at four o'clock. Why are you calling me again? Is it because you have amnesia again?" What Zhuxuan said before Yucheng lost the confidence to call. He was wondering what was wrong with him that made him always so humble in front of his wife.
"Ha! It seems that hope and disappointment go hand in hand. No matter how you run away, you can't escape. Forget it, it's up to you whether to come back, when to come back, or where to go." In today's time and space, The trivial things in life that have fallen behind can no longer be solved by drinking a few more bottles of strong liquor. Especially Joohyun's angry look has become the best hangover medicine in the world.
Staring at the thick shade of trees surrounding the window, Yucheng suddenly felt that he seemed to be several times older than those old pines. Feeling extremely bored, he suddenly pressed the power switch of the game console, and the phone that was playing Chengmei's photos was thrown into the corner of the sofa without even looking at it...
"After reviewing your homework, play the game! Hey! Lee Seung-mi!"
The wind was howling outside the window, and the pine trees all over Song's villa couldn't even learn to wither. Just when the shade of the tree wrapped stiffly on the window again, time suddenly went back to the moment when Yucheng tutored Chengmei on her homework. Perhaps it was because of a tacit understanding. No matter which angle you looked at, it was easy to read Chengmei's eyes.
"It's too difficult. For me, learning mathematics is no different from studying mathematics."
Chengmei deliberately turned her back to Yucheng and said as if talking to herself. Yucheng made an angry expression and approached Chengmei. The sunlight outside the study room reflects back on her. Her shoulders are thin, her chin is light, and her hair is scattered down her slender neck to her waist so that her hair roots can be identified. Just when she turned her head slightly with her eyes on Yucheng, Yucheng was startled again. He saw Chengmei's fair face shining with fluorescent light in response to the shadow of the trees outside the window, and her transparent eyes were even more filled with light. The frost gradually thickens.
"You...you must finish reading these today, otherwise you are not allowed to go back to the dormitory! I remember your roommate asked you to sing, right? If you linger for five more minutes from now on, you will sing one less song."
Yucheng cruelly drove Chengmei's interest to an end. At this moment, the frost in Chengmei's eyes began to become impetuous like an infinite clone.
"Then can I call them and extend the time?" Chengmei put the pen behind her ear and looked at Yucheng with admiration.
"No!" Yucheng truly lives up to his surname and practices "Zheng" thoroughly.
"That's great. Today is the birthday of the girl in our dormitory who has the worst relationship with me. I'm worried that I can't find a suitable reason to refuse?!"
Yucheng never imagined that the authority he had carefully built up would be destroyed by Chengmei's whim.
"Li Chengmei, your performance today is a bit excessive. What are you thinking about?" Wan Lai was silent, and Yu Cheng's deliberately lowered voice sounded particularly harsh.
"What's in your head? Senior, don't you know?"
It was raining outside the window, and there seemed to be a slanting wind in the muddy air. At this moment, the frost in Chengmei's eyes was rubbed away, and the clear whites of her eyes turned into wine floating in tea.
"Don't tell me it's..."
"Didn't you say you were starchy before? Because you are the person I have liked for a long time, so everything you say is right!" Chengmei's thick black eyelashes suddenly moved, and the faint smile on her lips also changed. Then became "frivolous".
"Hey!" Yu Cheng was anxious. A drop of sweat oozed from his collarbone, moistening his entire neck, and quickly flowed into his shirt. Chengmei's eyes were blazing, like a beast with a sharp mind and more developed limbs.
"Li Chengmei, you, you, you don't read well, you read randomly..."
"hehe…"
In order to intimidate Chengmei, Yucheng rolled his eyes vigorously, and then sat close to Chengmei. But in order to further feel Yucheng's body temperature, Chengmei pressed her butt tightly against Yucheng. As soon as her eyes relaxed a little, the two of them laughed leisurely.
"You are so handsome!", "You too, you have always been beautiful."
Yucheng didn't follow Chengmei's words, but saw her appearance clearly for the first time up close. Her round face revealed innocent and kind eyes, and her eyes were bright and she looked smart and ignorant.
"This is the first time you've complimented me. I have to write it down in my notebook quickly. By the way, what's today's date?"
After hearing Chengmei's rhetorical question, Yucheng smiled. If rum is distilled from molasses, then it is about to ferment and mature under Chengmei's distilled laughter.
"Hurry up and get back on track! This is the study room and everyone is looking at us."
"Just watch, sooner or later they will fall in love."
"I really can't control you anymore. After reading these pages, we will go to the old street to eat your favorite crayfish. Otherwise, no matter how coquettishly you beg, it won't work."
"Oh!" While Chengmei was looking at the book with sleepy eyes, Yucheng tiptoed and gave Chengmei a slap in the head. "I know." The dark clouds outside the window and the shadow of the pine trees blended together perfectly. When Chengmei deliberately lowered her pained gaze and looked back at Yucheng, Yucheng's eyes became very deep and serious.
