Chapter 7: This is Beijing

"If this kind of thing will never happen."
I looked at Meng Yang and said word by word.
Because this possibility no longer exists, Tong Xue left me. In the autumn a year ago, it was my retribution, and I earned my retribution for my unconscience.
If not, why on that day?
I never thought that she betrayed me. Real betrayal was silent abandonment. Then one day in the future, I suddenly appeared and told me that she was going to get married. This was betrayal.
At most, Tong Xue was fed up with life with me. Everyone was adults, especially the days after leaving the last ivory tower. They made us understand what life is.
Live, be born, live.
Living is hardships and happiness, but life without the support of the economic foundation will not be happy. Even if there is happiness, it is only short-term. When two people are together, they will face the food and food sooner or later.
The words she said when she left were echoing in my ears almost every night. Even if we saved a lot of money, we had to bring a lot of burden to our family before we could pay a house next to Beijing. The next step was to repay the mortgage for a lifetime. During this period, our parents could not get sick, we could not have children, we could not travel, we could not buy what we like, and we could save ourselves.
Women are not material creatures, but they are realistic.
Sometimes I asked myself on sleepless nights that if there was no such thing, Tong Xue was still with me, and she was tired of her hometown and wanted to stay in Beijing and take root in life, would we still have a tomorrow?
I think I will be the one who gives up in the end.
The best result is to separate and give her freedom.
The so-called heart sorrow is nothing more than a man who will buy a house for her on the Third Ring Road.
She said she cheated and was sincere.
I feel sad, unable to get out of that shadow, and living in decadence constructed by alcohol every day is normal.
But, I can't accept it yet.
So, when Meng Yang suddenly asked me this question, I would do my best to refute it and tell him that Tong Xue was in Paris, wasn’t it the illusion he drew for himself?
"Hey, don't stimulate single dogs, okay?" Meng Yang sighed: "How many loves did you last for so long when you were young? Cherish it, my buddy, and wish you a blessing."
For a moment, I wanted to tell Meng Yang that we were actually defeated by reality, and opened our mouths and swallowed them again.
Still haven't figured out how to say it.
"You will also meet your girl, right, Meng Dazhao?"
"Go to your uncle, come and kill the people again. Ask the whole Leping, who doesn't know that you are the big deal?"
"I'm a bullshit"
After teasing each other for a few more words, we returned to the office area.
Back at the seat, I suddenly saw the photo frame next to the computer
We were still very immature. During the summer vacation of our junior year, we used the scholarship from two people to take a trip to Daocheng Yading. After reading the novel "Passing Through Your World", Tong Xue decided to go there before the internship. We might have made a vow there, and the wedding was held in Yading and we would be with many couples.
I think Tong Xue, four years ago, would never have expected that we would never have a wedding there.
At that time, she smiled so brightly, with no makeup on her face, her head tied into a ponytail, and she took this photo with me wearing a white shirt.
Memories are a tormenting thing. As long as they are opened, they will be like a flood that has leaked from the gate and will be out of control.
"Chen Mo, will I let my family design in the future?"
"Chen Mo, I see that I like you more, I like you even more than yesterday."
"Chen Mo, can we have two children after marriage? The boy takes your surname and keeps your household registration book, and the girl takes my surname, which makes a lot of young men."
"Chen Mo"
After all, beauty is short-lived, like crystal, just looking at it shining and dazzling.
Close my eyes and stop my eyes that were sore. I am still at work and I can't let others see the abnormality.
I put the photo frame on the table, thought about it, picked it up, gently stroked it, sealed those memories. After all, it has been a year since my world has to get used to the days without her.
This is the beginning.
Open the bottom drawer, place the photo frame under a pile of files, and lock it.
This drawer will never be opened as long as I am in Leping for a day.
Time will always pass quickly in two states, one is busy, busy until you forget the time, and the other is free.
Just like, I am the second one.
I have not had many cases recently, so I am always used to immersing myself in the past and then pulling myself away from my pain.
Many people who are migrant in Beijing don’t have time to think about anything else. They work hard every day, pretend that they are living a good life, think about when they can get promoted and raise their salary, plan how to live for the month’s salary, and if they have extra money, they will still send some homes to their homes to stay in Beijing for longer so that they will not be driven away by this city.
Once upon a time, I was also a member of it.
Not now.
Six o'clock in the evening.
The whole city was decorated with neon lights, colorful and so blurry. At this time, Beijing was like a lady wearing heavy makeup, quietly watching many people who did not belong here, crowding in the subway without any gaps, chasing the intercity express.
The crescent moon in the sky is her smiling face.
She was mocking, mocking so many fools - she kept running towards her body.
She is beautiful.
She was cold, too.
Noble decided that she was qualified to do so.
Because her name is Beijing.
Standing at the entrance of the Guomao subway, I began to stop, thinking about whether to return to the cold, uneven rental house, or to rush to Houhai or Gongshi, and enter a bar casually, and use the warm atmosphere and rich alcohol to sober up.
After thinking about it, I decided to go home.
I am about to pay the rent. In the past year, the landlord has raised the room fee three times. Maybe I will have to go to bed in a different place.
I began to be upset.
I am upset about why I spent a lot of money. In a year, one-tenth of mine is only 15,000 left. With this month's salary, I will be able to cope with the rent for the next three months. As for food that fills my stomach, I will cook instant noodles.
The corners of my mouth were a little bitter, and the question that I had been thinking for a long time suddenly appeared in my mind. Should I go back to the small town in my hometown?
With my experience over the past few years, it is not difficult to go to a good office, or review and take the exam for a local civil servant. This may be a good choice and can make me feel relieved at the moment.
But I'm unwilling to accept it.
Or it is more appropriate to be afraid.
My parents don’t know about Tong Xue’s affairs yet. I brought her out. Now, I am the only one who goes back alone. How should I explain it? After all, in their hearts, Tong Xue is their daughter-in-law.
This is the biggest reason why I stay here to survive.
Sooner or later they will know, but not now.
