"When we were in college, we often met and went out to play during long vacations. Later, the two of them got together, and there were fewer opportunities to travel together. Most of the time, they were showing their affection, so I didn't intend to be' Bulb'."

With a slight sneer, Qiao Lijia took the refilled coffee cup, took a sip slowly, then put it on the table, bent his fingers, and tapped the smooth surface slowly and rhythmically.

"Then you can study in peace and live in this small city, living an ordinary and stable life, right?"

Pushing the coffee pot to the center of the round table, the person opposite sat down again, crossed his fingers and propped his chin, and took a leisurely look at Qiao Lijia.

"No, when I feel better, I will walk around in this small city. One day I saw a coffee shop and thought it was very friendly, so I went in and sat there. I planned to try whether it was the same as when I was in high school, but I ran into you. gone."

With a frivolous and joking tone, Qiao Lijia couldn't help laughing as he looked at the helpless man opposite him.

"I know it's not the same one... Whoever made you so lazy, you have to imitate the decoration."

"You think I'm happy! How many times have I said it, isn't it just for easy finding..."

At the end of the yelling, the momentum suddenly weakened, Wen Yongru touched the tip of his nose in embarrassment, as if he was trying to prevaricate with some topic, but Qiao Lijia pointed it out bluntly.

"Still waiting."

"...let's change the subject."

"..."

"It's only half an hour before the New Year, so let's continue talking about you."

"...Where did you talk?"

"Bulb."

"..."

Qiao Lijia rolled his eyes at him, then looked sideways at the snowflakes that started to flutter outside the window again.

Snow days are always very quiet, and everything is still.

"Later he got married and asked me to be the best man..."

Seeing Wen Yongru's slightly worried expression from the corner of the eye, Qiao Lijia smiled nonchalantly.

"Actually, that's what it is... At least it feels good to be able to walk into the wedding hall with him, although I am not the center of being blessed."

"It doesn't matter if it's not me who is blessed...it's really that, it's no big deal."

Qiao Lijia has always felt that being a best man is no big deal.

So when I accompanied Ruan Jing to prepare various matters for the wedding, when I stood not far from him and listened to the phrase "I do", when he booed with various guests, and when I helped share the wedding candy, I watched him shuttle between the tables to receive blessings. Sometimes, when drinking hard and still smiling brightly, Qiao Lijia thought, isn't that the case.

Nine dollars to get a marriage certificate, bride price and dowry, and so on. After buying a house and a car, tens of thousands of 10,000+ will hold a wedding, stand there and accept the blessings of everyone, whether true or false, and everything will go smoothly. outrageous.After being in a trance like a dream, she is already a married woman, and he is already a married man.

From then on, he was imprisoned in the siege of marriage.

There are thousands of flowers, and it has nothing to do with him.

After several years of baptism, Ruan Jing appeared to be more mature and stable, but still kept her bright smile.When the guests were few and far between and it was about to end, he was wearing the suit he had chosen with him. He was clean and straight, tall and tall, and he stretched out his hand to Yu Yan in a gentlemanly manner, with a smile as gentle as a spring breeze.

Qiao Lijia watched from the corner and felt that she was about to cry.

It's so beautiful.

Too bad it doesn't belong to me.

Yu Yan smiled and took Ruan Jing's arm, stepped on her high heels steadily, and followed him away.

The long hair is up, the makeup is exquisite, the wedding dress is fluffy, and the skirt drags the floor.

A woman is indeed the most beautiful on the day of being a bride, as happy as a rose-colored cloud in the sunset.

very nice.

Qiao Lijia suddenly remembered that many years ago, when he was a junior high school student, he went to play basketball with Ruan Jing. When he was tired, he would sit on the bench and watch the sky approaching dusk. The girl Ruan Jing likes.

Unexpectedly, they got married a few years later.

very nice……

Qiao Lijia stood up, straightened her suit, and left drunkenly.

It was autumn, but the wind was piercing, blowing on his face like a knife, as if dissecting and dismembering his body and mind inch by inch, tearing apart all hopes cruelly.The dawn is far away, and the faint light spots are also blown out by the wind, as if the sky, the earth and the sky are held by an invisible hand, dark and chaotic.Despair breeds and shrouds everywhere. If you are in the world before the world is clear, you can't see the slightest edge.

give up.Give up.

A gentle voice sounded in his mind, sighing softly.

The ivy that covered the wall of my heart when I was young was finally uprooted and stripped from the wall without a trace.Then it was set on fire, the ashes were swallowed by the flames, and the dust was blown away by the wind, and became the suspended ash in the air that was ignored by people.

Forgot which way to go, forgot that I should take a taxi home, forgot whether I thought about finding a bar to get drunk tonight, Qiao Lijia walked aimlessly on the road for a few steps, Then sit down on the curb.After taking off the jacket of the suit she bought with Ruan Jing, she could still smell the intoxicating smell of alcohol when she shook it off. Qiao Lijia just sat there and wept without any scruples, at [-]:[-] on an autumn night, at the beginning of the nightlife At that time, the city was full of feasting and feasting.

There is a lot of traffic, and countless vehicles are shuttling on the road, perhaps to make a living, or to rush back to a warm home.They are not alone, they rush to their destination, and they are all happy.

Who cares about a man sitting and crying on the side of the road at night?The smoky smell of alcohol caused people to roll their eyes, and the drunk man's crazy behavior made people disgusted.There are few pedestrians, vehicles rush by, neon lights are flashing, and the stars are bleak.

This is the prosperity of a city, but also the indifference of this city.

In the fast pace of what the heart desires, in a city where even every moment and every frame of the picture is blurred due to excessive speed, who would care about a person huddled on the side of the road and weeping silently.

Qiao Lijia cried silently until she sobbed and cried until she was breathless.Tears were all on the well-made suit, and the upper body with only a white shirt was shivering in the cold wind, but he didn't seem to care.

The person I like is married.

A smile suddenly appeared on his tear-stained face, and he did not force it.

He is very happy.very nice.

I can be his best man.very nice.

We can finally walk into the wedding hall together, but it's a pity that we don't stand by your side justifiably.

But so what, I can imagine the blessings of these people are for us.

...although sadly not.

I'm so happy...you're married.

This is the third time I cried because of you...hopefully the last time.

Because you smile so brightly and beautifully, as if you can shine, I can do it too!

But let me cry one last time today...

Because you are married.

……very nice.
