I don't like you anyway

The night sky is densely covered with fine snowflakes, and the cold wind is as cold as a split.

After Su Mingqian came out of Chen Shangxu's house, she wandered outside in a self-defeating manner.

In the glass windows on both sides of the street, the music of music boxes flows slowly, and the whole city is filled with the atmosphere of Christmas.

In front of Su Mingqian, there was a young couple choosing music boxes that were extremely expensive in the shop.The girl said she wanted the biggest one, and the boy stroked his hair and said yes with a smile.

Su Mingqian didn't know why he followed them into the store. Anyway, when the owner noticed him, it was impossible for him to turn around and leave.

"Welcome." The shop owner is a lady in her 60s, with a pair of glasses on the bridge of her nose, and her hair is beginning to gray. She is sitting by the fireplace to enjoy the fire.

"The music boxes in the store are all unique. Tonight, on Christmas Eve, couples enter the store to buy one and get one free." The wife put down the newspaper in her hand.

"Can I choose the one I gave you?" the girl asked, holding up the music box in her hand.

"can."

The girl immediately turned to her boyfriend: "Then which one should we choose?"

The boyfriend thought for a while, took down a retro metal music box from the high shelf, and said, "That's it."

The girl found it incredible: "Why did you choose this?"

The boyfriend smiled, put his chin lightly on top of the girl's head, hugged her from behind, and said, "The bride above looks a lot like you."

Su Mingqian listened to their conversation verbatim, feeling sore.

The sour gas rushed straight to the tip of his nose, causing him to almost shed tears.

He didn't pick a lot, he just picked one and did nothing.

When paying, the owner reminded him warmly through the reading glasses: "Buy one get one free for couples."

Su Mingqian scratched her hair and said, "Look at my hair color, do you think I'm suitable for a relationship?"

"Like it. Why doesn't it look like it?" Suddenly a familiar voice came from behind.

Su Ming looked back in a daze with swollen eyes, and saw a person wearing a pink headband and a beige lamb's wool coat entering the store.

Su Mingqian didn't say a word yet, Ding Bei took Su Mingqian's arm without authorization, and the 1.8-meter-tall bird leaned on Su Mingqian's shoulder like a human being, and winked at the shopkeeper: "Look, we look like Couple?"

"Look! Girl Gong!" Before leaving, the girl frantically tugged at her boyfriend's arm, turning her head three times a step at a time.

"You understand very well?" The boyfriend turned her face back, pulled her out of the store earnestly, and said, "Honey, you can only look at me."

One minute later, Ding Bei picked a music box and placed it on the table to direct Su Mingqian: "Okay. Pay."

Su Ming rolled his eyes lightly.Dare to feel that this guy came all the way here just to grab a gift.

"Why did you come to Anshi? It's the end of the year, and you don't care about the stores in your hand?" Su Mingqian asked Ding Bei when he went out with a paper bag.

Ding Bei put on a scarf mask to cover himself tightly: "There are managers in the store, so I don't need to worry about it."

"It's you," Ding Bei said, and stopped here, "I'm quite worried."

After hearing this, Su Mingqian had a sore nose and nearly shed tears.He took a deep breath, pulled out a nonchalant expression, and said, "It's not a big deal."

"Break with old Chen?"

"broken."

"Don't want someone else?"

"No more."

"Are you going to empathize or die alone?"

"...what bullshit are you talking about."

The two found a quiet coffee shop and sat down.Just sat by the window.It was obviously a quiet and peaceful Christmas Eve night, but in Su Mingqian's eyes, there was a miserable smell like a little match girl.

Ding Bei asked Su Mingqian what he wanted to drink, and Su Mingqian held his chin and said carelessly: "Let's have a latte. I can't sleep at night if I drink anything else."

"Even if you don't drink anything tonight, it will be difficult to fall asleep." Ding Bei ordered.

Su Ming gave him a quick look and asked, "Why?"

"Cough—" Ding Bei cleared his throat like a trickster, and said mysteriously, "I heard a very, very exciting news from Meng Yao, do you want to hear it?"

Who would have thought that Su Mingqian lacked interest and just played with the little kumquats on the plate:

"Is he a woman?"

Ding Bei was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, and said, "How is that possible. How can you, Xiao Beibei, talk about breaking news at this level?"

"Besides, he is definitely a man. Don't worry about that."

Su Ming raised his eyelids and gave him a look of "you can experience what I'm going to say next":

"You know him very well. When did it happen?"

"Can you stop talking about him?" Ding Bei was speechless, and acted coquettishly at Su Mingqian, "Susu, hurry up and tell me you want to listen! If you don't let me say it, I'm going to suffocate to death. You see, I've been holding it in for so long For the sake of going crazy, ask me!"

"I didn't let you talk." Su Mingqian put his chin on another hand.He always likes to rest his chin with his hands, so that he always worries that his chin will be smoothed one day.

"Old Chen," Ding Bei said impatiently, "it's about Lao Chen."

It should be reasonable to hear the word "Old Chen", but Su Mingqian unavoidably twitched her eyelashes, and even missed a beat of her heart.

Chen Shangxu's hoarse voice two hours ago can still clearly emerge in his mind.

This hoarseness reveals a trace of self-defeating despair.

Su Mingqian began to think, would God know that the two of them were not the right people, so that they would set up so many obstacles between them, let them go around, and finally separated at a certain intersection?

If this is the case, then God is really cruel to them.

Su Mingqian pretended to be carelessly peeling the oranges, but actually listened attentively to Ding Bei's next words.

He wanted to hear some turning point from Ding Bei's words.Because deep down in his heart is longing for a turnaround.

He wanted to give himself and Chen Shangxu a step down from each other.

However, Ding Bei's words made Su Mingqian's heart drop instantly:

"Do you know? Susu, old Chen and Qiao Qi knew each other. Qiao Qi met you through Chen Shangxu. They are a team."

The author has something to say:

Ding Bei: My plastic sisterhood is solid.
