My Dear People · Moon Evening

There is neither unreasonable love nor unreasonable hatred in the world.

It's just that as time goes by, we can easily forget those reasons and blindly insist on feeling.

Until one day, when I suddenly woke up, I realized that the world and myself had already changed.

-June 2016, 1

Who hasn't done something that is not quite right? At those ages when you are proud and reckless, you will always leave some traces of stupidity. Bills that pay the price.

Sitting in the most luxurious restaurant in Manhattan that night, Chen Lu seemed to feel this truth more clearly than ever.

"Jean Georges, don't you like this restaurant very much?" Leo was sitting on the opposite seat, chuckling, his green eyes reflected a charming light: "I can finally entertain you here, it sounds like Isn't it very exciting?"

Chen Lu said calmly, "What do you want to express?"

Leo raised his glass to respect him: "Why be so hostile, I just want to say that it is a great honor to sit on an equal footing with Daniel."

Chen Lu remained motionless.

Leo asked: "Why, don't you want to drink with me, or... this thing is not for you to drink, young master?"

Hearing this, Chen Lu suddenly smiled: "You are young and ignorant, I never thought that after all these years, you still care so much."

Leo slowly shook the crystal clear goblet, the wine inside was as red as blood, he lowered his eyes and said: "Not everyone is as lucky as you, who can experience so many things that don't mind."

Chen Lu hates other people's ambiguity the most, not to mention that this man is provocative: "Want to take revenge on me, you can do it yourself."

"How could it be? Without your encouragement, I wouldn't be where I am now." Leo put down his cup and curled up his pale lips: "I will thank you very much."

Chen Lu looked into his eyes without moving his eyes: "I was wrong in the past, and I can compensate you."

Leo said: "You can afford to pay for everything?"

Chen Lu didn't want to tolerate this person at all, and replied: "Most things in this world have a price, including your self-esteem."

Hearing this, Leo laughed out loud: "That's right, including your Mr. Lin, as expected, I'm still not as noble as you, and I still like to use the things you used."

As soon as he finished speaking, he poured the glass of bright red wine onto the art-like delicacies, and the table was immediately full of mess.

More than ten years ago, it was also on such a winter night, also in this restaurant, and the same kind of red wine was overflowing, but the glass of wine at that moment was poured on Leo's head by 15-year-old Chen Lu in public On the bed, the bright red liquid flowed down the blond hair embarrassingly, staining his white suit red.

Everyone was shocked.

Leo, who was almost half a child, was flustered and angry, staring stiffly at the big mixed-race boy standing in front of the table, unable to speak a word.

"What are you looking at? If you're not satisfied, you can stand up." Chen Lu's voice was not loud, and it really didn't need to be too loud. In this high-end restaurant, even the waitress can be rated as the most powerful woman in New York. He made trouble like this and no one stopped him, but Leo had to make an appointment for a full three months before he could bring his favorite female classmate Alice to this meal.

"Lu, don't do this." Alice got up in panic and stopped her.

Chen Lu didn't seem to hear, he shook off her hand, and still spoke to Leo: "I really don't know where you got the confidence to ask my girlfriend out."

Leo is an illegitimate child. Although he was born in a wealthy family, he was bullied because he lost his mother prematurely. In a private school and Chen Lu like a diamond is like the poles of despair. Although the wine on his face is cold at the moment, his skin is burning red: "You broke up."

"Oh, really?" Chen Lu smiled. Even though he was doing something extremely excessive, his handsome face was still as beautiful as an angel. He looked at Alice who was at a loss: "Do you want to stay for this meal, or Come with me?"

Alice hesitated for a moment, feeling naive and cruel in her heart, and finally took Chen Lu's arm.

It's a pity that Chen Lu pushed her away again: "It's a pity, I am not like Leo, I like to use things that other people have used."

After speaking, he put on his sunglasses and strode out of the restaurant with a few friends who followed.

Leo was humiliated to this point, but he didn't bow his head like anyone who was bullied by Chen Lu. He exhausted all his strength, trembling all over his body, and watched the proud and proud back. become calm.

Perhaps it was this ability to be calm that made him different from the common people many years later.

The lights of New York seem to be eternal like the stars in the Milky Way, bright, cold, and shining regardless of the changes in the world.

After leaving the restaurant, Chen Lu drove to the theater and waited for Lin Yilin as scheduled. His expression was a bit heavy, just like his mood.

I actually endured it just now, just got up and left, I really can't believe it when I think about it.

Maybe it’s also no longer childish, knowing that it’s useless to overturn the table and hit someone, what should happen will always come, and if a person has done something, he has to bear the consequences of that thing.

After Chen Lu was troubled, he smiled helplessly. How could he not realize what a bad guy he was in adolescence? If he hadn't met Lin Yilin later, would he have been relying on his mother's efforts to continue to be so bad?At the same time, he will never forget the lesson that caused Lin Yilin to be kidnapped and almost died in high school because he forced his classmates to drop out. It is not surprising that Leo holds a grudge. The only thing he can do now is to bear the consequences by himself. It doesn't matter if you are humiliated and go back, just don't have any relationship with Xiao Linzi.

While thinking wildly, there was a light knock on the car window.

Chen Lu turned his head and saw that the person who was clearly chained by his side but still thinking about him was bending over and smiling at him, his confused heart suddenly calmed down.

"It's really on time." Lin Yilin circled around and sat in the passenger seat, and looked at him suspiciously while saying hello: "What's wrong?"

Chen Lu showed a nonchalant expression: "Huh?"

Lin Yilin cupped his face: "You are weird."

Chen Lu said, "It's okay."

Lin Yilin leaned over and kissed him, persuading him smartly: "I know you don't like to socialize, but you still have to do what your mother wants you to do. This is the expression of your love for her. Go, go home."

Chen Lu started the sports car, smiled lightly and said, "Thank you for your advice."

He had the urge to ask the person around him who was still pure and unchanging, if he could not make up for his past mistakes in this life, and always brought all kinds of unexpected and huge troubles, would he feel that I'm not as good as I imagined?

Want to ask, but there is no need to ask.

Because the answer is obvious.
