i'm not a bad man

Chapter 62
After sitting down, the three of us sat on one side each. Brother He took out the Maotai liquor that he had collected for more than ten years to show the highest level of hospitality. Although the wine was good last time, it was not a treasure, so he You must miss me more than last time, and you must be lonelier than last time. People's moods are often hidden in details like this. This is also my way of observing people, and I almost never make a mistake.

Brother He opened the wine and filled the glasses of the three of us, and then said to me: "Are you and Luan Yu still running around the country in the past two years?"

"I stopped running. I stopped running a long time ago." After a short pause, I forced a smile and said, "Luan Yu and I are no longer together, and I am alone now."

Brother He was startled, and then his eyes changed when he looked at Qiao Jiao.He seemed to regard Qiao Jiao as a girlfriend whom I was not willing to admit my relationship with yet, so he restrained his speech. He sighed: "The older I get, the less knowledgeable I am. There are people around you. I Why are you mentioning Luan Yu to you... You too, Qiao Jiao is here to have dinner with you, why are you talking about being a good buddy? Aren't you misleading me... Let me tell you, Qiao Jiao is not a bad person, she is generous. , with picturesque features..."

Before Brother He finished speaking, Qiao Jiao started to vomit and said, "Brother He, calm down and stop talking nonsense. I really almost vomited out the wine I drank last night... me and him?... ...With his shameless look, I would rather find a woman to live with for the rest of my life than have any possibility of being with him!"

I finally laughed out loud: "Brother He, you really made a big misunderstanding. We just met in Shenyang. I thought she had no place to go, so I brought her here for dinner... I have always Treat her as a brother. Even though she has picturesque features and is generous, there is a man living in her heart... How to put it, even if I become a monk, I don't want to be her boyfriend... Two people together , at least we have to harmonize yin and yang, look at the masculine energy in her, we can reconcile it...haha."

Brother He looked embarrassed, while Qiao Jiao picked up the white wine in her glass, drank half of it in one gulp, then stood up and left...

"Sister Jiao, what are you going to do?"

"Go to the toilet and throw up...it makes me sick!"

"Don't vomit. If you do, the resurrecting wine will be in vain."

Qiao Jiao ignored me and continued to walk to the bathroom. I shouted again: "This is Moutai that has been treasured for more than ten years. It's a waste. It's a shameful waste... Don't be impulsive!"

……

I don't know if she really vomited, but Brother He was really shocked. After a while, he looked at Qiao Jiao's back and asked, "Is she overreacting?"

I smiled and said: "There are some things that I can't tell you in detail... It's not that she overreacted, it's just that the matter itself is too ridiculous!"

Isn't this nonsense? In Qiao Jiao's eyes, falling in love with a man is equivalent to asking me to fall in love with a man. Thinking about it this way, I want to vomit more than she does; considering that she and Brother He Maybe it was just a one-time encounter, so I didn’t intend to elaborate on the reason for this with Brother He.

……

After figuring out the attitude between Qiao Jiao and I, Brother He obviously let go. He asked me again: "Why did you and Luan Yu break up?"

After a brief silence, I replied, "I couldn't understand it at first. We were so happy together, had been to so many places, and had met so many friends along the way, why would she leave me behind?" We grew up together, spiritual companions... Later, I gradually figured out that she was the only one who grew up. I was still paranoid and free-spirited. With me, except for being a little poor and happy, what was she? Neither can be obtained... So, sooner or later, she will have to return to society and live a normal life... So, let's get together and relax. I don't want to provoke her, and I don't want her to provoke me... I'm fine now .”

After saying that, I picked up the cup and took a sip. The spicy taste of the liquor made me feel uncomfortable, but after the discomfort, I felt refreshed. I didn’t want to talk about Luan Yu with Brother He anymore, so I took the initiative to change the topic. Brother He said: "In the past two years, I have been in Qingdao and have never traveled again... Recently, I took on a project in partnership with a friend, and I have no time to run... If you are lonely in Shenyang, go to Qingdao Come find me... I can’t guarantee anything else, but I will definitely make time to have a drink with you in the evening.”

Just when Brother He was about to speak, Qiao Jiao hurriedly ran over from the bathroom, and then said to me extremely anxiously: "Lu Xi fell on the skating rink. The doctor said it was serious. I have to go to the hospital." Look at her." I was also frightened for a while, and immediately lost the desire to eat, so I stood up and said to Brother He: "Brother He, I have to go to the hospital too. I can't have dinner with you today. I'll meet you later. connect."

Although it was a gathering of old friends, things had their own priorities, and Brother He didn't force anything; the next moment, he got up with me and sent Qiao Jiao and me outside the hotel.

Before the taxi was about to leave, I looked at Brother He in the rearview mirror through the window again. He didn't leave for a long time. I saw him looking lonely, shaken by the cold wind in Shenyang...

……

When we arrived at the hospital, Qiao Jiao and I went straight to the orthopedics department and saw Lu Xi again. She was already lying on the hospital bed, and the doctor was beside her, seeming to soothe her emotions.

Qiao Jiao really felt sorry for Lu Xi, so much so that she ignored the doctor next to her and squatted in front of the bed, holding Lu Xi's hand tightly and asking her if it hurt.

I was more sensible and asked the doctor first: "What's wrong with my friend? Is she okay?"

The doctor shook his head and replied: "Her left Achilles tendon has been ruptured, and we are persuading her to receive treatment..."

I subconsciously looked at Lu Xi at this time. She looked expressionless, but her eyes were moist, and she looked like she had just cried. At this time, I also thought of a picture; on the skating rink, she was trying to finish the job. The quadruple jump forced herself to unleash her full potential, but in the end it exceeded the limit she could bear. Then she fell hard on the ice due to a major mistake.

Her obsession has really reached a level that I can't understand, but more importantly, I feel sorry for her physical suffering and mental despair. So, after sighing, I asked the doctor again: "Achilles tendon" Can you tell us what it means to be broken?"

"Is she an athlete?"

Qiao Jiao and I shook our heads together, and the doctor breathed a sigh of relief and said: "If you are not an athlete, there will be no special impact. It is just that you can no longer do high-intensity exercise. After you recover, it will hardly affect your daily life." life... You also advise her that this is not a particularly complicated operation, we can do it here... If you choose non-surgical treatment, the Achilles tendon re-rupture rate will be much higher than surgical treatment... However, Non-surgical treatment is also beneficial. It does not cause the risk of wound non-healing, incision infection, nerve damage and poor results... Whether it is surgical treatment or non-surgical treatment, you must choose one... This is delayed without treatment, Isn’t that willful!”

When the doctor said these words, Lu Xi turned away from her body. She was already holding back, but the huge pain in her heart still made her cry...

Maybe the doctor will think she is incomprehensible, but I, who know the inside story, understand her mood at the moment better than anyone else.

This time, she really has no chance to complete the quadruple jump, which means that the faith she had when she was young will be completely shattered with the rupture of her Achilles tendon...

Although I feel sad for her, it doesn't seem to be a bad thing, because pain is an eternal companion in human life. After every pain, people will usher in a great growth, and she should also be freed from that obsession. Come out and be a real adult!
