Life is bloody eight o'clock

Chapter 28, Paper and Fire

"Love can understand the poems written on the most distant stars." Ning Jun read softly a line of small words under the photograph.

Today is her date day with Xu Douxiao. After dinner, they held hands and walked casually along the river in the city. They accidentally found a gallery that was holding a photography exhibition. Ning Jun suggested to take a look. Xu Douxiao Of course I have no opinion.

The theme of the photography exhibition is love. The photographer captured various moments of love in the world through the lens, such as running pets, laughing children, couples lying on the lawn, and couples walking hand in hand. Here, thousands of love moments are recorded. There are hundreds of faces, friendship, love, love, and love. Ning Jun especially likes a photo of the starry sky. The photographic equipment pulls the distant stars into view, as if they are within reach.

"Hate to blind people." Xu Douxiao subconsciously continued, "Wilde's words are not very auspicious."

Ning Jun looked at him in surprise, maybe it was because of his sudden superstition or because he knew the source of this sentence.

"you know?"

"Oscar Wilde's From the Deep, to the beautiful but ruthless Percy."

"Honey, I thought you didn't have a literary childhood?"

What Ning Jun said was well-founded, after all Xu Douxiao had never even heard the story of Princess and the Pea.

"I had a literary youth." Seeing that she still didn't believe it, Xu Douxiao was a little puzzled, "Do I know that Wilde is so strange?"

"Yes." Ning Jun answered quickly and affirmatively, "It's more reasonable for you to read the stock market report, Wilde? We are not in the same time and space as you at all, so how did you remember to read him?"

What else could it be?Of course it was because of my college boyfriend.

Yuan Ben is obsessed with Oscar Wilde to the same extent as the enthusiasm of young girls chasing clay puppets. There are no bad works, and there are no bad visual works. Charisma.

All in all, although Wilde had flaws, Yuan Ben loved everything about him.If he lived in the same era as Wilde, he would probably kill Percy and avenge his idol.

If Wilde lived in the present, he would probably register a hundred trumpets and spread "Percy is not good enough for you" all over the Internet.

This kind of obsession made Yuan Ben always talk about Wilde in front of Xu Douxiao intentionally or unintentionally. In order to let him keep up with the content of his discussions, Yuan Ben even regarded Wilde's works as Xu Douxiao's bedtime. Reading materials, read a passage to him when he has nothing to do. Over time, Xu Douxiao's familiarity with Wilde's works has reached the point of a muscle reflex.

"Because of elective courses." Xu Douxiao gave a normal answer, "Our school requires everyone to take electives from five different colleges. I chose English Literature Appreciation, and the thesis I wrote during the final exam was about Oscar Wilde. .”

This is not a lie, he did choose a course that can make him shine because of the literary accomplishment he was forced to cultivate, although the final thesis was written by Yuan Ben.

"That's much more reasonable." Ning Jun nodded, which was regarded as approval.

Xu Douxiao was preparing to further rectify his literary accomplishment when someone patted his shoulder suddenly. When he turned around, he met an old acquaintance.

Wearing a fluorescent sportswear and casual sandals that are the most impossible to match in the world, he walked into Xu Douxiao's world with a dazzling color that is difficult for others to ignore.

Xu Douxiao will never forget him: "Daniel?"

Daniel hugged him warmly: "Long time no see, old classmate."

Xu Douxiao: "Why are you here?"

Daniel: "This is my exhibition."

Xu Douxiao looked at the bright color blocks on his body, and then at the tender and sentimental photographs on the wall. He felt more and more that the water in the art world was too deep, and he was about to be drowned.

"Why did you come?"

"You can hold a photography exhibition, why can't I see it?"

"Don't be kidding, Xu, the probability of you making a camera by hand is higher than the probability of taking the initiative to see the exhibition."

Daniel laughed at him mercilessly, then blinked when he remembered something, "You came with your lover, right? Why didn't you see him?"

Xu Douxiao coughed in embarrassment, and put his arms around Ning Jun's waist: "Don't look for it, here it is, my fiancee Ning Jun."

He didn't seem to see Daniel's surprised expression, and introduced: "This is my roommate when I was studying abroad, Daniel."

"Hello." Ning Jun stretched out his hand, Daniel gently held it gently, and then let go.

"Is the engagement ring some magical item? Why have I been meeting your classmates and friends recently?" Ning Jun smiled, "Where did you hide them before?"

Xu Douxiao touched his nose: "In the suitcase deep in my closet, I will only release them when necessary."

Daniel went on with his joke: "Yeah, he only let us out if he wanted to pretend like normal people had friends."

Xu Douxiao was about to say something else when his cell phone rang—it was the company phone. He smiled apologetically and walked aside to answer the phone.

Although Daniel's dressing taste is worrying, he talks humorously and is warm-hearted. Even if he meets Ning Jun for the first time, he can easily make the host and guest enjoy themselves.

After talking about a few irrelevant topics, Daniel asked seemingly unintentionally, "Miss Ning, how did you and Xu meet?"

"We are colleagues."

"Oh? Office romance."

"It is."

"Talk for a long time?"

"Two years, not too long."

"I know this is a bit strange." Daniel seemed to have made great determination, "Don't doubt my kindness, I have been roommates with Xu for two years, and we have always had a good relationship. As an old friend of Xu, I suggest , It’s just a suggestion, marriage is a big deal, you still have to think twice.”

Ning Jun's expression changed: "What does this mean?"

Daniel: "I'm not someone who is involved in other people's lives behind the scenes. It's just, how should I put it, I don't know how much you know about Xu."

"Daniel, you make me very nervous. What's the matter, can you explain it clearly?"

"You also said that marriage is a big deal. If there is really something that I need to think twice, just tell me."

"I..." Daniel scratched his head in embarrassment, "I can only say this, do you know Xu Douxiao's ex?"

When Daniel saw Xu Douxiao coming back, he didn't want to say anything more, he just exchanged a few words with Xu Douxiao and made an appointment to meet up again when he had time to greet other guests.

After this episode, Ning Jun was not in the mood to go shopping any longer, and said that he was not feeling well and wanted to go home. Xu Douxiao seemed uneasy and didn't ask any questions, and sent her home directly, without even sitting down. gone.

It would be a lie to say that Ning Jun didn't know about Xu Douxiao's ex.

From the first day she joined the job, she knew that the tall, handsome, gentle and wealthy Boss Xu had a good reputation.

He dresses neatly and tastefully, lives a regular life, treats people like a spring breeze and drizzle, making people feel like a spring breeze, and has nothing to say about his professional ability. This kind of person should make girls flock to him. Ning Jun was reminded by his seniors on the first day he joined the job. He has unwanted emotional fantasies about his immediate boss. He has a girlfriend who has been with him for more than five years, and they are now living together. Every day, he prepares delicious and nutritious lunch boxes for him. Mr. Xu never engages in meaningless entertainment unless necessary I never work overtime because I have to go home for dinner, and sometimes I even leave work early because I have to pick up people before the evening rush hour.

At that time, Xu Douxiao was proud of the spring breeze, and his whole body exuded a sour smell of love.

Ning Jun admires him, like all girls appreciate an excellent opposite sex, but she has no ambition to snatch positions, seize power and poach people's corners.

After all, who has the ability to break up such a happy couple (although no one has seen Boss Xu's girlfriend, not even a photo) Boss Xu seems to attach great importance to privacy and has no habit of showing affection publicly , But love doesn't need to be shown, and dog food doesn't have to be sprinkled. He uses his actual actions to feed every dog ​​around him.

How happy he was, how downcast he was later, as if overnight, Xu Douxiao changed into a different person, he looked sloppy like a standard tech geek, barely changed into a suit that didn't belong to him, and supported the boss decent.He worked overtime crazily, and everyone in the office was miserable.

Ning Jun wants to help him, wants to make him the person he used to be.There is a lot of heartache and sympathy in her love, they give her courage, Xu Douxiao is like poetry.

——You are the unfinished poem in my heart——Half of thinking about each character to be written——Half turned into sadness and buried in my heart forever——The completed half—— ——Writing about you and my cowardly and sad past———The unfinished half——I want to write about the romance that I dream of living with you——You are the song in my heart———Unfinished The completed poem—I don’t know how many words to describe the happy life with you;—but I don’t think it’s too much for others to add one more word—Ning Jun wants to finish this poem, but she gradually finds that she can’t write, Daniel's behavior is undoubtedly reminding himself that this is someone else's unfinished poem.

Ning Jun, who was tossing and turning on the sofa, received a call. It was someone recommended by Tong Ling. She still asked people to investigate. In this world where personal privacy does not exist at all, if you want to check a person's assets, you will always The results were obtained, and the results were surprising.

Xu Douxiao has a house under his name. He bought it five years ago, repaid the loan on time, and asked someone to clean it.

He obviously lives in the executive apartment assigned by the company, and they obviously put marriage on the agenda, and the wedding room is the first problem to be solved. She didn't ask anything, why didn't he say anything?

As if her dislike of Ning Jun wasn't disturbed enough, Tong Ling sent a message with a heavy tone: My dear, you have to be steady.My sister searched and found many stories about Xu Douxiao. I think you have to think twice about your marriage. Tomorrow, not tonight, you have to come here no matter what. I want to show you something .

Ning Jun had a hunch that this matter would affect her relationship with Xu Douxiao fundamentally.

She didn't want to go, she just wanted to take a bath, change her clothes, lie on the bed and pour herself a glass of wine, pretending that she had never investigated Xu Douxiao, and had never received a call from Tong Ling.

But ah.She looked at the ring on her ring finger and cheered herself up, you are the one who is going to get married.

Marriage is never an easy task. If you are not strong enough, if you are not fully armed, then don't go to the battlefield at all.

I will defend my ring.She cheered herself up and replied, "I'll go there at night."

I want to defend my right to write poetry.
