Jiang Long’s first love was when he was 26, which was three years ago. He fell in love with his first love at first sight. She had big eyes and long eyelashes, a cherry mouth and an oval face. When she smiled, her eyes curved into crescents, and she had two dimples. She was exactly his dream lover.
At that time, Jiang Long had not yet opened the roast duck restaurant. He was just an ordinary white-collar worker with a monthly income of over 10,000 but less than 20,000. This salary was just above the passing line of the average monthly income in City C. It was enough for him. After deducting living expenses and rent and other expenses, he could still save some money.
Once you fall in love, what slips through your fingers is not only time, but also money.
There are so many places where money is needed, both visible and invisible. There is no way to keep an account and think about how much money will be spent in a week or a month.
When the credit card in my wallet is maxed out and I receive a text message notification, I realize that my spending is a bit too much and I need to save some money, but I still can’t save much.
As for money, you can just earn it again if you lose it. Anyway, you can’t become rich by living frugally, you have to know how to earn it. Jiang Long won’t quarrel with his first love over money. He just needs to take on more private business and work harder by staying up late.
Young people can try their best. In Jiang Long’s opinion, both of them are good, you like me and I like you, and this is more important than anything else.
Jiang Long had been with his first love for a year. He had borrowed money from Huang Dan twice. One time was when his first love’s friends came to City C to play, and another time was when his first love’s relatives came to City C to visit her and he treated them to delicious food and drinks.
In the final analysis, it is all for the sake of saving face, for first love and for Jiang Long.
Jiang Long couldn’t let people think that his first love had found a boyfriend and quality of life was worse than that of being single. Not only would his first love be embarrassed, but he would also be embarrassed.
Most people have to pretend to be rich once or twice in their long lives. If they don’t do it, it would be like a waste of their life.
No matter at what age a person’s first love comes, he will be at a loss, greeted with a blushing face, and all his internal organs will be immersed in a honey pot. The breath he exhales will be sweet. How it will turn out in the end depends on fate.
People who are in love have a negative IQ. They will get angry with anyone who says something like that. They can’t stand hearing this. They feel very good about themselves, better than ever before, and it’s worth dying for.
Jiang Long treated his first love with all his heart. As long as he had something, he would give it to her without saying a word and without even frowning. His passwords were all her birthday. In the end, the money in his card was defrauded and he ended up living on the streets with no money to pay the rent.
They agreed to be together forever, but one of them ran away first, and stabbed the other one in the heart before running away.
Jiang Long was confused for a long time. He thought about the days he spent with his first love. They were both happy, never quarreled or had a falling out, and there was no deep hatred between them. He couldn’t understand why this happened.
If you don’t like someone anymore, just break up. That’s fine. But what’s the point of doing something behind their back? It’s too immoral.
Jiang Long didn’t think of calling the police. After he calmed down, he treated his first love with the utmost kindness. It wasn’t that he had no other choice, he wouldn’t do that. It must be that she had some unavoidable reasons and there was no time for her to say goodbye to him.
Although Jiang Long has no news about his first love until now, he unilaterally retained some beauty in that relationship, otherwise it would seem too pitiful and sad.
Jiang Long’s current girlfriend was Lin Xiaoxiao, who was completely different from his first love in both personality and appearance.
First Love was petite, with a sweet and delicate appearance, but Lin Xiaoxiao is carefree, with a decent and generous look. She often encourages Jiang Long when he is down. She says things like there is always sunshine after the rain, and you must get up from where you fell. Although it sounds a bit cliché, it is soothing.
Jiang Long and Lin Xiaoxiao are friends who can get along well with each other. They knew each other even earlier. At first, they were just ordinary patient and nurse. It has been almost seven years so far, and they have been dating for more than a year.
After so many years of no attraction, Jiang Long was taken in by Lin Xiaoxiao after his first love failed. The two of them spent time together day and night, revealing their other sides besides friends. After losing their facade at all, they began to have feelings for each other.
It probably feels real and relaxing.
After officially becoming a couple, Jiang Long and Lin Xiaoxiao’s way of getting along did not change much. It was still plain and dull, and they were always inseparable from trivial matters. Life was not a fairy tale, and could only be lived out with the taste of daily necessities.
The feeling of falling in love for the second time is different from that of the first love. Jiang Long does not feel like he is floating in mid-air, but feels very stable.
That year, Jiang Long’s mother had an eye surgery. During that time, Lin Xiaoxiao had to take care of other patients. She did her job well and also squeezed out time to take care of his mother without any complaints. Jiang Long made up his mind to treat her well all his life and not let her down.
Before Jiang Long opened his roast duck restaurant, he was conflicted and hesitant. On the one hand, he was worried that if he quit his job, the market situation would change drastically the time he looked for another job. On the other hand, he was worried that the business in the store was not good and he would suffer serious losses. It was Lin Xiaoxiao who helped him take that step.
Lin Xiaoxiao was involved in everything, including finding a location, negotiating rent, recruiting chefs and waiters, etc.
On the day the store opened, Jiang Long cried with excitement, and Lin Xiaoxiao also cried. Both of them had tears in their eyes, and they were both full of hope for life and the future.
Ten days ago, Lin Xiaoxiao quit her job as a nurse and switched to work as a clerk. Everything was going well, except that the job was much farther away from her home. She found it inconvenient to commute, so she moved out and found a single apartment to live in.
Jiang Long had argued with Lin Xiaoxiao about that matter. He didn’t want to live alone and said he could drop and pick her up in the morning and evening. She firmly disagreed, saying it was troublesome and would not be solved in one or two days. Finally, he compromised with her.
Jiang Long has a plan to open a branch next year. He has already discussed it with Lin Xiaoxiao. By then, he will find a bigger house close to the company, and they will move in together.
In addition to opening a store, Jiang Long also has a wish. He wants to get married with Lin Xiaoxiao next year and give her a home. After all, they are both not young anymore and it is time to plan for the future.
The whole class came to the last reunion, but unfortunately Lin Xiaoxiao didn’t show up due to some urgent matters, so Jiang Long’s marriage proposal didn’t succeed. Christmas is just a few days away, and the atmosphere is very good. He thinks he will definitely succeed this time.
It’s a good idea to change careers. Being a nurse is too tiring and Jiang Long knows that she had a hard time.
Just tonight, Jiang Long came out of the store early, went to the flower shop and bought a bouquet of roses, and went to Lin Xiaoxiao’s apartment. He fried steak and got red wine, and carefully prepared a candlelight dinner, waiting for her to come back and give her a surprise.
The apartment was quite close to the company, just two traffic lights away. Lin Xiaoxiao didn’t come back yet, so Jiang Long called her. He originally wanted to ask her if she was working overtime at the company, but he vaguely heard some noise, so he changed the topic and asked her where she was.
Lin Xiaoxiao said she was at home.
At that time, Jiang Long’s vision went dark and he sat unsteadily on the sofa. He asked her unwillingly which home she was at. Maybe she had returned to her hometown in the afternoon for something?
Lin Xiaoxiao asked which other home it could be, isn’t it the apartment? Her tone of voice was the same as usual, and nothing was wrong. She asked where Jiang Long was, but Jiang Long didn’t speak.
There are many reasons for a person to lie, both with good intentions and with bad intentions. But lying to your lover and saying you are at home when you are not, only a fool would believe it.
Jiang Long said to Lin Xiaoxiao, I’m at your apartment, come back and we can talk when we meet.
Not long after, they met and sat in silence.
When Jiang Long left, Lin Xiaoxiao said I am sorry to his back, just these three words, nothing else.
At that time, Jiang Long’s hand was about to grasp the door handle, but he pulled back. After breaking up, you should give a decent explanation, right? Is it that you just realized that we are not suitable, or that you think you have not worked hard enough or failed to meet your expectations? You can say all these.
Over the next half hour, Jiang Long and Lin Xiaoxiao talked it out. They both remained calm the entire time. There was no hysteria, no throwing tantrums or smashing things. They were all adults, and it would be bad for anyone if the fight got out of hand.
The word “miscarriage” was like thunder, exploding in Jiang Long’s mind. He didn’t know what he said next or how he came out.
Just vaguely remember crying and howling.
They had survived all the hard times together, so why were they unable to get by now that life was getting better? They could only share the hardships but not the happiness? Jiang Long couldn’t understand.
Jiang Long has been in two relationships. He gave his all each time, treated the person well without reservation and devoted himself completely. He felt that it was necessary and the minimum sincerity and respect is needed.
But he failed both times, and the last one hurt him the most, and cost him a small life.
Jiang Long was very hurt after that breakup, but he had Lin Xiaoxiao supporting him, never leaving him, encouraging and comforting him, telling him that life was still long and he would meet many people and things. If Lin Xiaoxiao backed off and ignored him this time, he would collapse.
Lin Xiaoxiao is Jiang Long’s salvation. She cleared all the haze and darkness in his world and brought in flowers and sunshine. He couldn’t imagine his life without her. He couldn’t live with it and couldn’t accept it. His heart ached like a knife stabbed.
All the plans and future seemed meaningless.
What happened to the child was that it dug a piece of flesh into the wound and sprinkled a handful of salt on it.
Jiang Long didn’t want to commit suicide at first. He wanted to be alone for a while, so he bought a bag of beer and went to the top floor. He drank while complaining to the night sky. He drank too much without realizing it. When he came to his senses, he was already sitting on the edge with his legs sticking out of the guardrail.
The cold wind blew on his face, like being scraped by a knife, a little stinging. Jiang Long took out his cell phone and called his best friend Huang Dan. He had a lot to say, but the call didn’t go through. So he started talking to Liu Feng in a drunken tone, and his words were incoherent.
Jiang Long asked Liu Feng, what is the purpose of life? Why is it so tiring?
Liu Feng happened to be strolling nearby, planning to buy some hot pot base to take back and have hot pot the next day. He saw a group of people gathered downstairs, looking up, and he did the same. It was dim at night and he couldn’t see clearly, but he didn’t know what was going on. He had a bad feeling and quickly asked where Jiang Long was.
Jiang Long said he was on the top of the building.
Liu Feng called a few times, but the other end indicated that the phone was turned off. He was so scared that he rushed into the building and pressed the elevator to the top floor. Oh boy! It was indeed Jiang Long.
At that moment, Liu Feng’s calves began to tremble. He didn’t dare to get close, nor did he dare to alarm Jiang Long. Instead, he hurriedly called Huang Dan. When the call didn’t go through, he directly called Chen Yue.
When Huang Dan and Chen Yue arrived, there was already a large crowd of people gathered downstairs. The police were also setting up air cushions. There were voices of discussion and the scene was chaotic and noisy.
When someone is depressed and wants to jump off a building, no matter what the reason is, there is nothing to see in it. Why do you have to stretch your neck to watch, pointing and talking from time to time, and not be afraid of bad luck and getting hit by someone falling from a building?
Chen Yue grabbed Huang Dan’s arm and rubbed it a few times, “Don’t panic, he’s still on the roof, it’s okay.”
Huang Dan asked, “Where is Lin Xiaoxiao? Have you contacted her?”
Chen Yue shook his head, “The phone couldn’t be reached. There was no one in the apartment. The security guard said she went out after Jiang Long and not sure where she went.”
Huang Dan strode towards the building, “Try to find her.”
Chen Yue said, “I have given the instructions. Don’t worry. I will tell you as soon as there is any news about her.”
Liu Feng was standing with several policemen talking, and even showed his ID card. He caught a glimpse of Huang Dan and Chen Yue coming up from the stairs, and rushed towards them, panting and saying, “Damn it, you guys are here!”
Chen Yue asked in a low voice, “What’s going on?”
Liu Feng said he didn’t know. He scratched his head and said, “I guess Jiang Long might have encountered some problems and he was so depressed that he came to the roof.”
Chen Yue’s voice was caught in the whistling wind, “Isn’t this nonsense? If there is no problem, who would come here and sit so close to the side? If the wind is stronger, it can blow it down. I haven’t contacted Lin Xiaoxiao yet, and I don’t know what’s going on over there.”
“Fuck, no contact? That’s it, things are going to be difficult. It’s probably not a family matter, but a relationship problem. For example, Lin Xiaoxiao is cheating on him. It’s very possible. Didn’t she not come when he wanted to propose to her last time?”
Liu Feng wiped the sweat from his face, sweating all over in the winter, “Jiang Long is tall and thin, fair, and graduated from a prestigious university. His store is doing better than mine, and he’s going to open a branch next year. And me? I’m fat and dark, single, and no one cares about me even if I spend money on myself. My parents divorced a long time ago, and both of them are living a carefree life. No one cares about me. As for the branch, that’s a matter of time. It should be me who should jump off the building, right?”
He clicked his tongue, “Tell me, does this person have too much and is easily greedy?”
Chen Yue stopped Liu Feng from continuing. He held onto Huang Dan who was about to pass, “Don’t let Jiang Long be startled. Let’s discuss it first.”
Huang Dan’s eyes fell on Jiang Long, “He is sitting in a very dangerous position.”
Chen Yue frowned and his voice was much lower, “Just because of the danger, we have to be more cautious.”
Liu Feng blurted out, “Listen to Chen Yue. Chen Yue is someone who has been here and has experience.”
Chen Yue’s expression changed instantly. When he wanted to speak, Huang Dan spoke first, “Liu Feng, what do you mean?”
Liu Feng mentally slapped himself. He pretended to be stupid and said, “What? I didn’t say anything. How did you coax Jiang Long down? Let’s think of a countermeasure quickly.”
Huang Dan didn’t ask any more questions. He glanced at Chen Yue and then went to talk to the police.
At that glance, Chen Yue forgot to even breathe. He waited for Huang Dan to move away a little, then raised his foot and kicked Liu Feng’s leg, “If you don’t speak, no one will treat you as a mute!”
Liu Feng avoided it skillfully, “I didn’t mean it. Besides, there is no airtight wall in the world. Do you think you can hide this from him forever?”
Chen Yue said with a sullen face, “That can’t be mentioned today.”
“Didn’t you see that he was worried about Jiang Long? How many things can he bear?”
Liu Feng held his breath in his throat, and he sighed sheepishly, “Then what to do, I’ve already said it.”
Chen Yue was addicted to cigarettes. He put his hand in his pocket and felt it was empty. Then he realized that he didn’t have his five-pointed star when he went out, and he felt even more anxious.
“Forget it, let me take it one step at a time.”
A policeman asked about Huang Dan and Chen Yue’s identities and said, “Since you are old classmates, you should persuade him not to make an extreme choice because of a momentary impulse. There is still a long way to go. Go back and take a shower and have a good sleep. When you think tomorrow about what happened tonight, you will find yourself ridiculous.”
If people sit too far forward, they will fall if they are not careful. The police cannot rush over to avoid making the other party nervous.
Huang Dan took out his hand from his coat pocket and said, “Jiang Long.”
Jiang Long turned his back, his eyes full of confusion, “Huang Dan, you’re here.”
Huang Dan took a few steps closer and asked, “What are you doing?”
Chen Yue saw him walking forward, and instinctively followed him, never leaving.
Jiang Long’s face was covered with snot and tears. His expression was strange and his breath was full of alcohol. “What are you doing? Why are you all here? I just came here to drink a few bottles of beer…… No, where is my beer? Where’s the beer?”
When the people present saw him move, their hearts rose to their throats, and no one made a sound.
Jiang Long grabbed his hair and muttered, “The beer is gone, my beer is gone.”
Liu Feng licked his dry lips and said, “What about that? I’ll treat you to a drink. We won’t go back until we get drunk.”
Jiang Long said yes, but he didn’t come down. “I’m telling you guys, I’m particularly a funny person. Really, so funny.”
“My first love had dinner with me the night before she took my card and left. I didn’t notice anything wrong with her. I even told her it would rain tomorrow and I would pick her up after work. The same thing happened this time. I didn’t notice anything wrong with Xiaoxiao. If I hadn’t happened to meet her tonight, she would have stood me up when I proposed to her a few days later.”
Sure enough, it’s because of feelings.
Huang Dan avoided the beer bottle at his feet and said, “I’ll get Lin Xiaoxiao over here, and you talk to her.”
Jiang Long shook his head vigorously, his eyes red, “Nothing to talk, we’ve said everything we need to say, she has someone else in her heart, and she doesn’t like me anymore.”
Liu Feng couldn’t help but interrupt, “Isn’t that great? From tomorrow on, you can also have someone else in your heart.”
Huang Dan glanced over, and Liu Feng closed his mouth and made a zipper movement.
“Your store is doing well, which shows that you have business acumen. You have had two relationships, which shows that you have personal charm. Jiang Long, don’t make the wrong decision just because you can’t figure it out for a moment.”
Jiang Long twisted his neck and faced the sky, “They all failed.”
Huang Dan pursed his lips, “That’s because there is no affinity.”
Jiang Long choked up and said, “I can survive and be where I am today because she was behind me taking care of me. Without her, I don’t know what I would do. I can’t imagine ……”
Liu Feng turned his head and wiped his eyes. Damn, why do you say it so pitifully? It’s just a broken heart, right? Who hasn’t been broken before?
Chen Yue was obsessed with Huang Dan, fearing that he would get out of his control. Wherever Huang Dan got hit, he would be the one who would be hurt the most.
There was silence on the top of the building for a while, and then Huang Dan said, “You have us.”
Jiang Long slumped his shoulders and burst into tears, “My parents treat Xiaoxiao as their future daughter-in-law. If they knew that I broke up with her, they would scold me to death.”
Huang Dan said, “I think your parents don’t want anything to happen to their son more than losing their future daughter-in-law, Lin Xiaoxiao.”
“Besides, the prospective daughter-in-law will definitely be the one who is more suitable for you.”
Jiang Long shook his head again, “The child is gone. This is a wound that will never heal.”
Huang Dan and the others were very surprised. How could there be a child?
“When she told me she was pregnant, I was surprised and happy. But she also said she had an abortion in April. At that time, she said she had something to do in her hometown. I was busy with the business in the store and didn’t ask about it. It would have been better if I had cared more about her.”
Jiang Long expressed painful self-disgust, “It’s my fault, it’s my fault. I only cared about the store.”
People who drink too much are confused and can’t speak clearly. They say one sentence after another, which is very fragmented and hard to listen to.
Huang Dan comforted him, “The child’s matter is over. He has returned to heaven and everything is fine.”
Jiang Long sat there motionless, and the next moment, everyone saw his shoulders shaking and he was crying.
On the rooftop there was only the cry of an ordinary man who was almost thirty years old, for his lost love and for the child who never came into the world.
Liu Feng whispered, “Lin Xiaoxiao is such a jerk. She hid such a big thing from Jiang Long. If you say she hid it, then she should just keep it to herself. Why did she say it out loud when they broke up? Isn’t this hurting people? If it were me, I would also be stimulated.”
“A woman’s heart is like a needle in the sea, and it’s hard to fish it out. The same goes for men.”
Chen Yue said, “That has nothing to do with me.”
Liu Feng, “……” Yes, you don’t love both men and women, but only love your Huang Dan.
Jiang Long cried bitterly, and his mood swings were obviously not as big as before.
Huang Dan took the opportunity to say, “Shushu and Ayi are sensible people. They know that you are also very sad and will not blame you.”
Jiang Long turned his head, “Really?”
Huang Dan hummed, “Really, I’ll go back with you then.”
Jiang Long’s eyes widened, “Let’s go back together……Okay, my parents like you. They have always liked you. They think you are better than me and asked me to learn from you.”
Huang Dan said, “Come here, let’s go have a drink and have a good chat.”
“Have a drink……”
Jiang Long stood up from the edge. When he was about to step inside, he suddenly lost his balance and fell backwards uncontrollably.
This happened so suddenly that the people behind had no time to respond.
Huang Dan, who was nearest, subconsciously rushed forward, but was grabbed by a big hand and thrown behind in the flash of lightning.
Chen Yue threw himself forward, but failed to catch Jiang Long and watched as he fell on the air cushion.
If you fall in the wrong direction, you will die on the spot.
Chen Yue’s mind was filled with the scene of Huang Dan rushing over to pull Jiang Long. His heart was beating so fast that it hurt his eardrums.
Huang Dan found Chen Yue still lying there. He sensed something was wrong. “Chen Yue.”
Chen Yue panted heavily, his voice changed, “My legs are weak, don’t come over.”
Liu Feng and a policeman stepped forward and pulled Chen Yue away from the railing.
“You were so fearless just now, why are you so cowardly that you can’t even stand up now?”
Chen Yue’s hands were shaking constantly, his face was extremely terrifying, he growled and cursed, “Can you shut the fuck up?”
Liu Feng muttered, and he pulled Huang Dan’s sleeve, “Chen Yue seems to be about to cry, you hug him, I’ll go downstairs to see Jiang Long.”
There were only two people left on the roof.
Huang Dan touched Chen Yue’s face, “Why are you sweating so much?”
Chen Yue said hoarsely, “I’m scared.”
Huang Dan wanted to pull Chen Yue up, but was pulled down instead, lying on his chest.
“Did you hear that? My heartbeat is almost as fast as the drumbeat.”
Huang Dan said, “I’m sorry for making you worry.”
Chen Yue laughed, “I’m not worried. What should I worry about? If you fall down, I will definitely follow you.”
“As for my parents, I can only work like a slave for them in the next life to repay their kindness in raising me.”
Huang Dan felt uncomfortable after listening to this. He hooked his arms around Chen Yue’s neck and pressed his lips against his.
Chen Yue frowned and pushed the person away, angry, “I’m not in the mood now, no kiss!”
Huang Dan said, “Then no kiss.”
Chen Yue’s forehead twitched, he was aggrieved and angry, “Damn, I was almost scared to death by you. I’m still trembling now and can’t stand up. Can’t you comfort me?”
Huang Dan said, “Be good.”
Chen Yue pushed further, “That’s it?”
Huang Dan kissed Chen Yue’s right cheek and then his left cheek.
Chen Yue enjoyed it very much, and the corners of his lips rose a little. He turned pale again when he thought of that scene.
Huang Dan saw what he was thinking, “Jiang Long is not usually a negative person and would not think about committing suicide. He just drank too much and had random thoughts.”
Chen Yue sneered, “I can see that too. He’s your only friend over the years. I know you care about him and value your friendship, but next time something like this happens, stay away from him. Do you hear me?”
Huang Dan said, “I heard it.”
Chen Yue swallowed, he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, “Honey, what should I do? My hands are still shaking. I’m really scared by you.”
Huang Dan held Chen Yue’s hand and rubbed the callus in his palm. It felt a little painful and itchy. “It’s okay. Don’t be afraid. I’m fine.”
Chen Yue’s throat rolled, “What if I was one second too late to catch you, I can’t even think about the consequences.”
Huang Dan frowned, “Don’t make that assumption. Even if you didn’t hold me back, I wouldn’t have jumped over the railing……”
Chen Yue covered his mouth and said, “Okay, ancestor, don’t say anything further and let me go, otherwise I won’t be able to get up tonight.”
Huang Dan took his hand away, “How about I carry you down?”
Chen Yue said disgustedly, “Forget it, I’m almost 1.9 meters tall and you’re only 1.8 meters tall. You don’t usually exercise. Your only physical exertion every day is to cooperate with me in doing bed exercises. How can you carry me?”
Huang Dan twitched his mouth.
Chen Yue touched Huang Dan’s waist and asked seriously, “Kiss me.”
Huang Dan said, “Didn’t you just refuse?”
Chen Yue brought him to his chest, “I need it now, hurry up and give me some love power.”
Huang Dan said, “Can the power of love be transmitted through the mouth? Isn’t it heart-to-heart communication?”
Chen Yue’s face twisted, he shook his head and sighed, “Baby, you are like this. I can’t even find anyone else with a lantern.”
“……”
Huang Dan touched Chen Yue’s thin lips and stretched out his tongue to sweep his lips, “Let me in.”
When Chen Yue heard these words, his muscles tensed up and he said, “Speak more clearly, ancestor.”
Huang Dan didn’t respond, just stuck his tongue into Chen Yue’s mouth, and was hooked as soon as he entered.
After kissing for a while, Chen Yue’s three immortal souls and six mortal souls came back. He was pulled by Huang Dan to stand up, feeling that he had walked through the gate of hell without any danger.
Huang Dan patted the dust on Chen Yue’s coat and said, “I will remember what Liu Feng said. You can tell me later.”
Chen Yue’s expression changed, “Actually, it’s nothing, he’s just talking nonsense.”
“You know what kind of person Liu Feng is. He is always jumpy and out of control.”
Huang Dan didn’t speak, just looked at Chen Yue.
Chen Yue averted his gaze and said, “Go down. Jiang Long will probably be quite frightened after he falls from such a high place.”
Huang Dan said, “If you don’t explain before getting married……”
Chen Yue suddenly interrupted, “Aren’t you going to marry me?”
Huang Dan glanced at him, “We must get married, but you are not allowed to touch me on the wedding night, not even once.”
Chen Yue, “……” this is too much.
Jiang Long was sent to the hospital, and Lin Xiaoxiao showed up. If Liu Feng hadn’t discovered her figure in the crowd, she would have wanted to leave quietly and not show up.
Huang Dan called her aside, “How did you get to this point?”
A hint of bitterness appeared on Lin Xiaoxiao’s face, “Huang Dan, you haven’t been in love or liked someone. No matter how much I tell you, you still won’t understand.”
“I was able to stay with him during the most difficult times and help him get through the difficulties. During that time, my feelings for him were also worn away.”
Huang Dan has someone he likes, but he doesn’t understand what Lin Xiaoxiao means.
Lin Xiaoxiao said, “I don’t know since when, the topic between him and I only revolved around the roast duck restaurant. Apart from that, we had nothing else to talk about.”
“I tested him in April about what to do if we had a child. He said we would talk about it later, and then he went to make phone calls to clients to have dinner, and the matter was dropped.”
Huang Dan frowned, “The child is gone, he is very sad, you could have told him directly at the time, or mentioned it once afterwards, but you did neither, Xiaoxiao, you were looking for an excuse to give up on Jiang Long.”
He used a stern tone for the first time on such a thrilling night.
“You no longer have feelings for Jiang Long, and you don’t know how to tell him, so you keep dragging it out. If he hadn’t unexpectedly found it tonight, you still wouldn’t have shown up for his proposal a few days later. You just found a random excuse to deceive him, and your so-called starting point was to think about him.”
Lin Xiaoxiao’s face turned pale. She wiped away her tears and said softly, “I’ve known him for so many years. It’s that I can’t help it. I won’t hurt him.”
“As for the child, I took medicine because of my stomach discomfort at that time, so I couldn’t keep him. If Jiang Long had paid a little attention, he would have realized that I took the medicine without telling him.”
Huang Dan was silent.
“He is still a child. I am too old to take care of him anymore. I also find him immature.”
Lin Xiaoxiao lowered her eyes. “When two people are together, they will get tired of each other one day. I just didn’t expect that day to come sooner than I thought, and I didn’t expect that I couldn’t make it through.”
Huang Dan found that Chen Yue was looking at him, and there was something distressing in his eyes.
He took off his coat and put it around his wrist, and his hand secretly hooked Chen Yue’s hand underneath.
