Eternal Burning - Chapter 41

[Chapter 41 Is Betting Fun?]

There are not many people in the cafe, and it seems very deserted. As soon as I opened the door and entered, I saw Shang Yunrou sitting by the window, staring blankly at the pedestrians on the road, wondering what she was thinking.

The chair across from her was taken away early in the morning to make room for my wheelchair, which is very sweet.

“I’m sorry, it’s been a long wait.” As soon as

I said, she quickly returned to her senses and looked at me.

“No, I haven’t been here for a long time.” She handed me the drink list, “What would you like to drink? I’ll invite you.”

At this time, the waiter saw a new customer coming over. I didn’t look at the drink list and asked him directly. Bring me a glass of lemonade.

“I like the donuts here. Chocolate glaze sprinkled with pistachios, soft bread, and filling that is not sweet or greasy. Haiyang will buy it for me every time he passes by here.” During the conversation, Shang Yun Rou pulled a strand of long hair that fell from her cheeks behind her ears, “But if you eat too much of anything, you will get tired. I know this truth. So he bought me three, and I will only take one bite. If I buy a box, I will He will only eat one, and throw the rest into the trash. This will satisfy his desire, and it will not let him lose one of his favorite foods, so he kills two birds with one stone.” It’s

clearly still the same facial features and the same makeup, but I always feel that She is not the same today as she was before. She no longer piles up a warm smile, no longer exudes an approachable temperament, and doesn’t even bother to give a kind look.

Without Yang Haiyang, without Shang Muxiao, without the “third person” staring at her, she completely released her own nature.

Apart from the similarities in appearance, I don’t think she and Shang Muxiao have even the slightest character in common. But at this moment I realized that I was wrong, they are really siblings – as long as they want, they can make anyone like them, as long as they want, they can also pretend to be any likable character.

“You came to me to talk about Shang Muxiao, right?” I didn’t bother to go around in circles with her, so I got straight to the point.

Shang Yunrou looked at me for a while, stirring the straw in front of her: “I don’t want you to hurt too much, Beidou, you are Haiyang’s friend, and I won’t hurt you.

” He still couldn’t help but ask, “What do you want?”

“Muji and you are only for the purpose of attracting our attention in another way. I also considered him to grow up. I know his temperament best. It can’t last long with you. You’re a delicious donaz now, sweet and fresh, but after a while, you’ll turn into a disgusting junk food that will only end in destruction.” She looked straight at me, a Word by word, she said earnestly, “Don’t let love die at the most unbearable time, Beidou.”

Aside from her bad metaphor, what she said made sense, but unfortunately… it’s too late, she’s already dead. The death is more than unbearable, simply tragic.

After a night of emotional precipitation, I have been able to view my relationship with Shang Muxiao calmly and rationally. I have to say that Shang Yunrou really knows her brother best, she is right, so right. While agreeing with her, I also sighed: “Human beings are selfish creatures after all, and self-satisfaction is the first thing. You do

n’t let him interfere with your emotional life, but you must control his life, right?”

There was an obvious sarcasm in my words, but Shang Yunrou was not angry.

“You would take my double standard for granted, but I just try to make everyone look normal. Do you know how hard it is to keep this family ‘normal’?” Before I could answer, She then gave the answer by herself, “You don’t know, neither does Shang Muxiao, no one knows.”

She leaned back, her arms crossed her chest, and when her face was expressionless, she was very similar to Shang Muxiao.

“In order to live a ‘normal’ life, I can do anything.”

After a moment of stunnedness, some were shocked by her words.

As expected by Fang Qinian, the merchants are not normal. Even Shang Yunrou, who looks the most normal, is paranoid in pursuit of the so-called “normal”.

“Does being with Haiyang also seek ‘normality’?”

Actually, I would like to ask, is there any prerequisite for her love for Yang Haiyang? Although “normal” is much easier to achieve than wealth and beauty, it cannot be denied the possibility of changing because of its universality. If one day Yang Haiyang becomes no longer “normal”, will she still be with him?

Or, does she really love him?

Yang Haiyang has been my good friend for many years. I don’t want him to suffer the same thing as me. He finally regained his love and was hurt again.

Shang Yunrou obviously knew what I was going to ask, she smiled and said, “Some people fall in love to seek excitement, while others are to inherit the lineage, can’t I just be ‘normal’? Just one glance, I’m sure Yang Haiyang He’s the person I’m looking for. He’ll be a good husband, a good father, these are very important to me. For others, it has nothing to do with them.” The

last sentence was already very subtle, and it was obvious that I should be mindful of my own business.

“I can’t change my father’s choice, but he is a normal person to outsiders. But you can’t, your existence will always make our family look ‘different’.” She admitted generously, “So you are right. For your own good, or for his good, these are all my high-sounding excuses, the truth is just… I want to make myself feel better.”

The misfortune of the original family did not seem to leave a mark on Shang Muxiao alone. Shang Yunrou’s obsession with “normality” may be her pursuit of happiness as she knows herself.

Her mother was depressed, her father was indifferent, and her younger brother needed to be taken care of when she was young. She was just a child at that time, and it was understandable that a normal family was unattainable to her, and she wanted to have it when she grew up.

I appreciate her candor, but honestly, it’s hard to understand her.

“What are you going to do if I refuse your request today?”

She raised her chin slightly, lowered her eyelids, and said the most ruthless words in the softest tone: “I have the ability to make you have nothing, Beijiao, don’t force me to use this ability. With just one phone call, I can cut it off.

All the sources of income of Shang Muxiao can cut off the career you are proud of. A young master who has no money, and an associate professor who has lost his job and is incapable of doing things, do you think there will be a future?” Weaknesses, but also know how to strike accurately.

I stopped talking, hesitating on the surface, but thinking in my heart that Shang Yunrou is so powerful, Yang Haiyang fell in love with her, whether it was fortunate or unfortunate.

Seeing that I didn’t answer for a long time, she added a more serious warning: “I love Haiyang, don’t make me embarrassed.”

Hey, I’m a mess myself, what else do I care about other people’s emotional lives?

Yang Haiyang’s calamity is on the left and right, and he has to go through it himself. Just like Shang Muxiao is my calamity, I can only end it myself.

I nodded and said, “I see.”

She raised her eyebrows slightly, as if she wasn’t sure if I meant what she meant.

I said it more clearly: “I’m going to break up with him.”

She dropped her arms and leaned forward in disbelief.

“You… so…” She paused and didn’t continue, but I think she was probably surprised that I gave up so easily, half surprised, and felt that it was not right to say this as her.

I smiled: “What? Have you prepared a large check?”

Shang Yunrou was at a loss for words, looking at me with complicated eyes.

“Considering all aspects, this relationship is no longer suitable to continue. I will break up with him, it will not make it difficult for you.”

She asked me for this matter. Now that it has been resolved, we have nothing to talk about. .

“I have to catch a flight tomorrow morning, and I haven’t taken care of my luggage. If it’s all right, I’ll go first.” Before she could answer, I turned the wheelchair and left.

Said to go home to take care of luggage, but in fact it only went for two days, there was nothing to do.

Since we broke up, Shang Muxiao had to let him take back the clothes, accessories, and the trophies and binoculars he gave me.

I didn’t change the password for the door, I sent him a message and told him that I felt very different from each other, and after thinking about it, I decided to end the relationship. It happened that I was going on a business trip. I was away for two days. I hope he can come and take things away. By the way, bring the dog back.

Shang Muxiao has not responded to the news. I don’t know whether I didn’t see it or I was so angry that I didn’t know how to reply.

The next day, the phone was still silent, and there was no information from Shang Muxiao before I got on the plane.

I’m not sure what’s going on with him, hesitant to make a phone call, fingers dangling over his name, and finally moving away.

Forget it, let him go.

The flight was three hours. I took a nap and watched a documentary. After the plane landed and stopped taxiing, I turned on my phone again, and before I could unlock the screen, Shang Muxiao’s phone came in. Surveillance is installed near me.

It’s just that the text message breakup is not formal enough. After all, they have been together for a few months. They always have to say “goodbye” in person, which can be considered a beginning and an end.

I stared at the call for a long time and finally got through.

Before a word was said, the other side struck first.

“Where are you? Why did you answer the phone now?” He asked fiercely with anger.

My seat was right by the door, and I was the first to get off the plane. Thanks to the flight attendant for taking down the luggage above my head, I went out through the covered bridge while talking to Shang Muxiao on the phone.

“I said, I’m on a business trip these two days, didn’t you see my text message?”

Opposite Yijing, gritted his teeth and asked, “What do you mean? Just because I brought you home, you’re going to be with me. break up?”

This is the first time I have come to this airport. I can’t tell the direction very well. I followed the crowd for a while. Seeing that everyone took the escalator down, I looked around for a barrier-free elevator. With this flash of magic, Shang Muxiao’s tone became more and more anxious and gloomy.

“Beida, did my sister tell you something? Where are you now? I’ll tell you face to face…”

“Is it fun to bet with Zhou Yanyi?”

He seemed to have suddenly pressed the pause button, and he stopped talking for a moment. , if I could still vaguely hear the breathing sound coming from the microphone, I would have thought that the phone was out of power.

“‘As long as I give him a little warmth and a little sunshine, he will obediently come to my hand’, remember this?” I found the barrier-free elevator, and I was at the end of the queue, and people came after a while. .

There are too many people, so it is not convenient for me to speak, so I can only say softly: “You have already won, you don’t need to pretend to like me anymore, just let me go.”

“How could you…” He was completely stunned, completely Didn’t think I would know about this.

“Take away the things in the past two days, and we can get together and leave.” The elevator came, and I didn’t want to talk to him any more. I felt that there was nothing to say, and I hurriedly hung up the phone.

“Arabido? Arabidopsis…” When the

phone was put down from his ear, he could faintly hear a more urgent scream from him.
