elopement alone

Quiet nestled on a chair on the balcony, leaning against the back of the chair, feet resting on the transparent coffee table, hair scattered on the shoulders, holding a book in his left hand, looking at it with his head tilted, holding a cigarette in his right hand, from time to time Take a sip.

Quietly closed the book, put out the cigarette in the ashtray, and then began to close his eyes and meditate.After a while, he opened his eyes again, "Ning Shu, help me close the curtains, the sun is so dazzling."

Chen Ningshu was sitting at the end of the bed, and he could just see Chen Ningshu's side face, but he didn't do anything.

"Ning Shu, Ning Shu? Chen Ningshu!" An Jing was a little annoyed, and opened her eyes.

"Ah?" Chen Ningshu came to his senses, "What's wrong?"

"Close the curtains." After finishing speaking, An Jing closed her eyes again.

Chen Ningshu got up and closed the curtains, stood less than one meter away from Jing Jing, looked at Jing Jing who seemed to be asleep, and whispered, "Go to bed."

The only answer to her was the occasional sound of a car coming from outside the window.

Chen Ningshu raised the corner of his mouth mockingly, and sat at the end of the bed again.

A cell phone ringing woke up the quiet.

Chen Ningshu picked up the quiet mobile phone from the bedside, stepped forward in two steps, and handed it to her.

An Jing looked at the contact person on the call and frowned slightly.

"Hey"

In the empty room, there was only the echo of "Hello" and Chen Ningshu's weak breathing. She vaguely heard a woman's voice coming from the quiet cell phone, but she couldn't make out what it was about.

"Well, well, let's talk again, I'm not free today. Hang up."

After hanging up the phone, An Jing lay down on the bed.

"Ning Shu, what's wrong with you?" An Jing asked.

"Quiet, was that woman yesterday...?"

"Colleague, I'm drunk, she just sent me back."

"Yeah." Chen Ningshu also went to bed, with his back to An Jing.

Quiet soon fell asleep again drowsily.

Chen Ningshu walked to the other side of the bed and lay down too, remembering seeing Jing Jing hugging the woman downstairs last night, and the woman kissing Jing Jing's side face.

Chen Ningshu didn't know when he became so sensitive.

Didn't I and An Jing get together after an unexplained passion?With such a lover, she should have thought that she can't be expected to settle down for herself, but if it's a formal relationship, shouldn't she have scruples about dating others?

After thinking about it, I also closed my eyes and fell asleep unconsciously.

When Chen Ningshu woke up again, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon.

When pouring the water, I found that An Jing was no longer at home, and where she went, Chen Ningshu didn't know, anyway, I'm used to this kind of situation, isn't it?

The push notification sound from the mobile phone seemed to be WeChat. For a moment when Chen Ningshu opened it, he hoped it was a quiet message, but it was obviously impossible.Jing Jing doesn't seem to like this software very much.

"Have dinner together tonight?"

It's Zhang Congnan, Chen Ningshu's ex-boyfriend, a senior in senior year, with a good major, and has already signed a company. Chen Ningshu once joined a club when he was a freshman, and Zhang Congnan was the vice president. He fell in love with her at first sight, so he started chasing her. She looks quite well-behaved, and she doesn't wear black shoes and white socks like a straight man with advanced cancer. Ning Shu didn't feel emotionally moved. As soon as she started her sophomore year, she found out that all the girls in the dormitory had boyfriends. Chen Ningshu was a little uncomfortable. No one would go shopping with her on weekends to karaoke for dinner. Zhang Congnan and her roommate also counted. Yes, her roommate took the opportunity to ask her to find a boyfriend, saying that no one would accompany her to save money. I don't know if he mentioned Zhang Congnan intentionally or unintentionally, saying that he was very good, so Zhang Congnan was with Chen Ningshu.

There is not much difference between being in love and not being in love. It is nothing more than going to study together, going out for a meal, and occasionally shopping together, but Chen Ningshu still has no feeling of heartbeat. Maybe this is just because of his love motivation and emptiness and loneliness. Chen Ningshu comforted himself like this.

After being together for two years, Chen Ningshu did not make any substantial progress with Zhang Congnan, and the physical contact between the two was limited to kissing.

The roommate said that Chen Ningshu was so goddess that Zhang Congnan didn't dare to insult her. She just smiled and said that if I became a cute girl, he would definitely not like me either.

Only Chen Ningshu himself knew the reason, she resisted, she resisted further development, in fact, it can't be called resistance, it should be said that she didn't feel it, the kiss was okay, but Chen Ningshu couldn't force herself to make the next move.Zhang Congnan was a little unhappy at first, but he didn't mention it again.

why?Maybe it's Chen Ningshu's appearance, it's quite face-saving to take her out, and I really like her, so it's not like the two of them are unhappy because of this kind of thing. Both of them have been together for two years, and they will break through this relationship sooner or later. Don't mind waiting an extra year or so.

Chen Ningshu is not particularly beautiful, but she is very temperamental, with fair skin, big eyes, a standard oval face, long black hair that is over the chest and hanging on her back, and her legs that like to wear tights look particularly long. She often wears a pair of high-top canvas shoes and carries a backpack on her shoulders. She dresses like this almost all the year round. Chen Ningshu also knows that she is not particularly beautiful. She never expected that Zhang Congnan could pursue her for a year.Perhaps it was because he was moved by his persistence that this relationship began.

The phone in his hand started to vibrate, Chen Ningshu came back to his senses, looked at the big "Zhang Congnan" on the screen, put his fingers on the screen, but hesitated to connect or hang up, probably when his hands were a little numb , Chen Ningshu connected the phone.

"Ning Shu?"

"what happened?"

"Have dinner together tonight?"

Chen Ningshu's thoughts seemed to be still in the memories just now, and he didn't know whether to go or not.

"Ning Shu? Ning Shu?"

"Huh? I'm listening."

"Then seven o'clock, see you at the old place."

"Let's go to another place." The so-called old place is a braised pot restaurant, the taste is not bad, but in the past one or two years, the situation has declined, but there are still many people, probably because it is more spicy.Chen Ningshu is a southerner. She came to this city because her parents work. Unlike the average southerner, she doesn’t like spicy food very much. On the contrary, she can eat spicy food very well, so this restaurant is the place where they ate on their first date. .

"Oh... Then where did you say?"

"Go eat hot pot, I'll wait for you at Wanda."

"Well, see you at seven. Wear more, it's a bit cold at night."

"Ah."

It was exactly six o'clock when Chen Ningshu went out. It was a Monday, and it was the peak time. Chen Ningshu realized this when he got on the subway. I still wear a thin woolen coat. The seasons in this city are not always obvious, almost only winter and summer, so it is advisable to buy less spring and autumn clothes, otherwise it is very likely that the season will change before you have time to wear them.

Chen Ningshu arrived at the station after thinking wildly.

When we got downstairs to the hot pot restaurant, Zhang Congnan had already arrived first.

The two got on the crowded elevator. Chen Ningshu was sweating a little. Zhang Congnan took out a pack of tissues from his coat pocket with difficulty and handed it to Chen Ningshu. Chen Ningshu said "thank you" in a low voice.Zhang Congnan said with a smile, "Why are you being polite?" Chen Ningshu smiled lightly and did not speak.

Chen Ningshu sat on the chair, brushed the hair on the right side casually, put his arms on the table, and Zhang Congnan stared blankly.

"Congnan...what's the matter today?" Chen Ningshu poured himself a cup of tea.

Zhang Congnan came to his senses and watched Chen Ningshu take a sip of tea. He hadn't seen him for a month. Chen Ningshu was a lot stranger to him. He crossed his hands and played with his fingers, "What have you been up to lately?"

"It's nothing, just going to class or something, how about you?" Chen Ningshu put down his teacup and looked at Zhang Congnan.

Zhang Congnan seemed to want to hide his discomfort, so he quickly put down his crossed hands and lowered his arms.

"I'm...about the same as you. Seeing that you don't often show up at school, are you... in love?"

Chen Ningshu didn't know how to answer, was it related to An Jing?Or, two women?Could it be love?Two people like each other, together, is it considered love?But Jing Jing doesn't seem to like herself, Chen Ningshu thinks of this, and smiles a little self-deprecatingly, "How is it possible... a person like me, who would like it easily."

Zhang Congnan didn't seem to expect Chen Ningshu to answer like this, he stared at Chen Ningshu, still thinking about her self-deprecating smile.Just when he was about to open his mouth to speak, Chen Ningshu spoke again, "Congnan, being in love with me must be very tiring, I am a person, people who don't know me always think that I am difficult to get close to, cold, defiant, lonely, I don't have many friends, and my private life is quite mysterious, even when I'm with you, people who don't know will think I'm hanging on to you, right?"

Zhang Congnan was a little anxious, "How is it possible? Why do you think of yourself so much?"

"It's not that I think of myself that way, and that's how everyone sees me." Chen Ningshu lowered the temperature of the induction cooker, and sandwiched a piece of tofu skin for himself, "Okay, let's eat first." He said to Zhang Congnan I picked up some tofu.

If you eat at the table next to you, you must think that Chen Ningshu and Zhang Congnan are a loving couple of college students.

"Chen Ningshu."

The sound was not loud, Zhang Congnan put the tofu on the plate, raised his head, and saw a woman.
