twin stars

Lei Yi

Ajie was a little excited and a little drunk, he kept hitting me on the head to scold me, and asked repeatedly: "Do you know, do you know..."

I put my head in my hands and kept yelling: "Got it, got it!"

He finally stopped nagging, but began to cross-examine in a paternal way: "Why didn't you see your girlfriend? Why did you make girls sad? It's wrong to make girls sad. It's a man's responsibility to protect girls." He drank alcohol while talking belch.

"It's already broken up, not a girlfriend!" I picked up the bottle and continued to drink as if nothing had happened.

"What? You dumped him?" He grabbed me by the collar, aggressively, as if I was dating his sister.

"She dumped me, brother!" I pushed his hand away angrily, this guy was really dazed, "She proposed to break up first. She always said that I don't love her as deeply as she loves me, that she didn't A sense of security. I really don’t know what I’m doing wrong. When I’m in a relationship, I’ve always been single-minded with my girlfriend.”

"Then why does she think you don't love her that deeply?"

"She said she told me a hundred sentences, but I only answered her one sentence. She said that I was too cold and didn't care about her, but I have been talking less since I was a child!"

"You talk less? Why do I think you talk a lot?"

"Yeah, so the woman is strange, right? She talks too much herself, which makes me talk less, so she blames me. How can this be reasonable to her?"

"That's true." Ajie nodded and became more sober: "Men are different from women. Sometimes men can't get in on the topics women like. When I chat with my sister, she talks most of the time and I listen. But you broke up because of this, isn't that too rash? Can't you explain it?"

I sighed and said, "She once said how to get married in the future, but I told her that I have no idea about marriage, and I don't plan to get married."

"What? Of course the goal of dating is to get married! You are young and have no financial strength, which is understandable, but you can't tell girls that you never plan to get married. If you say this, girls will of course want to break up. I made a plan: first work hard to make money, and when I'm 30, I'll buy a house and get married."

"Oh!" I lay down on the bar counter, very listless: "I told you that I was neglected at home since I was a child, so I have no confidence in marriage and family. I always feel that I will live alone on a desert island, isolated from the world , to be forgotten, to die alone."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" He rubbed my hair vigorously, treating me like a child: "What desert island? What lonely end? You are only 22 years old, why are you so negative? Life has just begun, you are not going to work hard Is it? Also, even if everyone forgets about you, wouldn't I still drink with you?"

His last sentence made me suddenly enlightened: "Really? Are you really willing to drink with me? With you here, I don't seem so lonely. Let's just be two old alcoholics, hahaha!" Feeling wrong: "But when you get married in the future, your wife will control you and won't let you go out to drink, what should I do?"

"No! I am the head of the family, and my wife will definitely listen to me!" He patted his chest, very confident: "As long as you need it, make a call, and I will be there on call, just like today. I can Treat you as a brother!" He put his arms around my shoulders and leaned me against him, with the demeanor of a brother who kept his word.

"Well, it's brother!" I clapped my palm on his shoulder, I was so happy that I could find someone with such similar experience and common language as mine, and I finally understood what it means to "everyone meets a bosom friend for a thousand cups of wine" : "You must keep your word!"

"Of course! But..." He frowned suddenly: "That girl has been looking for you, and she should want to reconcile with you. You really don't see her? She looks very pitiful!"

"I never thought that words like 'break up' could be said casually. Now that she has said it, it is a foregone conclusion." I shrugged and said, "If it were you, would you turn back?"

Ajie pondered for a moment, then shook his head: "I always make decisions after careful consideration. Once I make a decision, I will never go back on it! So I really won't look back."

"So, men, you should put your career first! Let's not think about girlfriends for now. Hey, don't just talk about me, what about you? How many girlfriends have you talked to?" I winked at him, Very interested in his gossip.

But this guy suddenly fell silent, his eyes rolled up, his hands and feet retracted, and he sat upright, taking small sips of wine.

"Tell me! I've told you everything about me, but it's too embarrassing if you don't tell me about yours?" My curiosity was not satisfied, and I was very dissatisfied.

He lowered his head, coughed twice and said, "No, I haven't talked about it!"

"Haven't talked about it? I don't believe it!"

"T-True! When I was a teenager, I secretly liked a girl, but then she got a boyfriend, and there was nothing more to say."

"Ah? Secret love? Why don't you go after someone? If you like it, you should go after it, idiot!"

"I had nothing at that time, and my family was poor. What could I give her? When I was a child, in order to save money, I tried my best to memorize the prices of all the vegetable markets. I often traveled long distances to find the cheapest vegetable stalls to buy vegetables. Sole If there is a hole, you can only continue to wear it. You are a rich man, so you will not understand." There was a trace of loss and melancholy on his face.

"Who said I was from a rich family?" I was very surprised: "After my father passed away, my mother was the only support in the family, and she was too poor to solve the problem, so I became a child star to subsidize the family. I also know the vegetables sold in the market. A few cents per catty. Ten years later, my mother remarried, and the conditions improved, but it was just an ordinary family, where is the rich family?"

Ajie widened his eyes and said in amazement: "Ah? So you also suffered when you were a child." He put his arms around my shoulders and said with a sigh: "We are really brothers and sisters!"

"Wait, don't change the subject! You like that girl, why didn't you confess it first? As long as she likes you too, you can let her be your motivation and fight for her! People who love each other are not afraid of suffering together!"

"No, if you like her, you have to be responsible for her. If I can't give her a stable and prosperous life, I would rather she marry someone else, at least she lives happily. My mother and sister have suffered a lot, so I don't want the one I like People accompany me to suffer!"

These remarks made me speechless, and it was like a stick in my throat.What he said seemed to make sense, but he always felt that something was wrong.

Alas, it's so complicated, I can't figure it out, so I don't want to think about it.

"Well, you don't pursue girls, but if you look like this, I don't believe that no girls take the initiative to pursue you?"

His expression twisted: "I, I don't like active girls, I like simple, shy, and introverted ones. The girl I used to like was very shy, and she often wore my favorite white clothes, she looked very pure... ..." He looked into the distance, lost in memories, and there was a trace of longing, sweetness and yearning in his eyes.

"Pfft!" I couldn't help laughing out loud: "Ajie, you are already 23, why do you still look like a young boy who just fell in love at the age of fifteen or six? It's fine if you don't like girls who are too active, but You don't take the initiative to chase the girl you like, so that people think you are not interested in her, so they have to find someone else. No wonder you have never been in love since you are so old. Should I say that you are too kind or too stupid Woolen cloth?"

"A-Actually... I don't like girls who take the initiative because... I'm afraid of women!"

"Afraid of women? Why? Come and listen!" I finally smelled a bit of gossip, and I was extremely excited.

"I used to be an apprentice in my uncle's western clothing store. The store mainly made women's clothing, and there were often many rich ladies visiting. I would occasionally be called to the front desk to help with the reception. Then...some rich ladies like...to tease me. There is a Mrs. Chen always finds various reasons to call me. Once, she said that the coat was not fit for size, and asked me to deliver it. I took the clothes to the fitting room, and she, she actually..."

"How is she?" I couldn't wait to hear the following, and moved closer to Ajie eagerly, making him lean back involuntarily.

"She, she actually took off her clothes and jumped into my arms! When I panicked, I pushed her away. You also know that I have practiced martial arts for many years, and my hands are very strong, and I can't control the strength. As a result, she I hit the door hard and sprained my waist. The store not only lost money, but also lost a big customer. My uncle scolded me like hell."

"Oh, so you were molested by a woman, so you are afraid of women?" I laughed and clapped my hands, unable to hide my gloating: "I heard a commotion just now, and someone called you rude. So it was you who pushed me For many men, this is a blessing, why don't you take advantage of the opportunity? Isn't that rich lady not good-looking?"

"Why seize the opportunity? It's not the person I like." Ajie's face flushed red: "Mrs. Chen is not ugly, she is only in her early thirties, and she is well maintained. I respect her very much, but she is in front of me." Undressed, still a married woman... When a woman gets close to me, I think of my mother and my sister. I think women should be sacred and inviolable, just like my mother, she is the greatest woman in my heart! Really I don't want someone to destroy this holy image."

Hearing these miraculous remarks, I didn't know whether to praise him or laugh at him: "Ajie, your thoughts are so pure, will you still hold hands when talking about girlfriends from now on? Are you going to kiss? Are you going to have sex? "

He didn't expect me to speak so directly, he was so ashamed immediately, he bent down with his head in his arms, not daring to see anyone.

This is so much fun!I was so happy that I patted him on the back seriously, "comforting" him.

As if he suddenly thought of something, he sat up suddenly: "Actually, sometimes I also think that women are quite fragile. They are too easy to be emotional and take love too seriously. My mother is very strong, but to my father... well, I know She has been suffering in her heart and has never let go."

On this point, I also have some feelings: "Yes, a few years ago, Lin Tai, the leading female star of Zhao's company, committed suicide because of emotional problems? She has the beauty that countless people admire, and she has to be a four-time actress." , The career is so brilliant, it can't withstand the blow of love! Women are indeed more fragile! Look at me, I was abandoned by my girlfriend, and I still cheer up?"

"Many women regard love as more important than family, friendship, and career. I can understand the daring and daring between friends, not to mention the attachment between relatives, but I don't quite understand the so-called "life and death" between lovers Xiangxu'. Can you really abandon your loved ones for the sake of love? It feels very irresponsible. If a man commits suicide because of love, I will think he is a coward."

"I don't believe in life-and-death promises! After one party dies, the other party is not a remarried, or another remarried? The story of life-and-death promises only exists in novels." Ajie's words resonated with me a lot, deeply Some words buried in my heart sprang out.
