Chapter 47
Chapter 46
Ajie is the lead guitarist who just entered Liang Chen’s studio this year. He yelled the keyboardists, drummers, and rhythm guitarists to eat supper in minutes. He wiped the sweat from his forehead with a tissue and said, “Sister Chen, Tonight together.”
Liang Chen nodded without hesitation: “Okay, please eat Fuhailou tonight.”
All of a sudden, more than a dozen people in a room cheered, packed up their instruments and prepared to go out.
Liang Chen put down the water cup and signaled Yuan Keke to organize things and go to eat supper together.
The musicians were so excited that they cleaned up the karaoke room and went out frolicking.
Ajie walked in the forefront. As soon as he came out to see Lu Jing, he asked, “Little brother, I think you have been standing here for a long time, waiting for someone?”
As he said, he looked back: “Whose friend? Someone is looking for it here!”
No one answered, but they all stared at Lu Jing curiously.
When Liang Chen came out, Lu Jing stood in the crowd and tried to raise his head. He wanted to contain the emotion in his eyes, but after struggling, he was still useless.
Liang Chen didn’t say anything, put on his coat and beckoned to Yuan Keke.
“Koko, you can call to fix the location first.”
Her voice was the same as usual, she couldn’t hear her emotions, but Yuan Keke was a little uncomfortable.
Yuan Keke glanced awkwardly at Lu Jing who Liang Chen regarded as air, hesitated and said, “Uh…I’m leaving now?”
“Let’s go.” Liang Chen said, “you will have to wait until the early morning to have a place.”
Liang Chen took two steps, thought about it, and then turned around and said to Lu Jing: “Tomorrow is Monday, you can go back to school.”
“I……”
Liang Chen squinted his eyes and stared closely at Lu Jing, his eyes suffocating his words.
“You come with me.”
She turned around and walked into the studio, and Lu Jing immediately followed.
Yuan Keke watched for a while, and beckoned the others to drive first.
In the quiet and dim sing room, the weight of the air was overwhelming.
Liang Chen turned her back to Lu Jing. After a long time, she turned around and looked at him: “Why didn’t you tell me?”
Lu Jing’s emotions were a bit agitated, but he tried to restrain himself and make his own words clear: “I didn’t want to hide from you. My application materials were sent out. Everything has not been fixed yet. Feedback will not be available until January next year. Come here, I…”
Liang Chen looked at him deeply, very calm.
“When did you decide to go abroad?”
“Freshman.”
“When does school start?”
“September next year.”
Liang Chen lowered his head and sighed.
Lu Jing took two steps forward, raising his hands, but seeing the emotions on her face still dropped.
“Before I got to know you, my materials were already being prepared. Everything was done step by step, and I didn’t even need to worry about it. For me, this is a logical path, just like three meals a day, everything is in accordance with the rules. ”
Liang Chen listened, but faintly said.
Lu Jing felt suffocated, for fear that Liang Chen would break up when he spoke.
His short two decades went so smoothly. After the college entrance examination was over, the moment he got the admission letter from the Department of Computer Science at Nantah University, the family planned to send him abroad for further study after graduation.
There is nothing wrong with this, Lu Jing also tacitly agreed, so from the beginning of his freshman year, every course, every essay, every competition, he was preparing to go abroad.Over time, it becomes the most common part of life.
Some people, every effort at university is to get a good job after graduation, and some people start preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination early, and everything he does is to apply for a good school. In his eyes, he has nothing to do with himself. The difference is to follow the trajectory and move towards their own future.
As close as the roommates knew about Lu Jing’s future as soon as freshman enrollment, they never asked him about the job test.
Far like Sun Binyu, in more or less contact with grandma, he also learned of Lu Jing’s plan to go abroad.
By the senior year, taking English tests and sending materials, everything was a matter of course. It seemed that all of this had been integrated into his daily life. Just like three meals a day, it was not even a tickle feeling.
Therefore, the moment his grandmother spoke, he realized how much damage it was to Liang Chen.
Lu Jing thought, maybe he was too addicted, but now everything is empty.
At this time Liang Chen just lowered his head and thought for a while, just said: “You go back first, I’m going to eat.”
Lu Jing clenched his fists tightly and remained silent for a long time, only watching Liang Chen walk out slowly.
At this moment, he felt a hole in his heart.
On the way, Ajie and the others were still curious about who Lu Jing was. Liang Chen ignored them, leaning against the car window and looking at the street lights outside, without saying a word.
Yuan Keke coughed twice and said, “It’s a friend, I have provoke our sister Chen recently.”
“That’s it…” Ajie and the others didn’t think much about it, and excitedly took their phones and started ordering food before they even reached the place to eat.
One night, having this group of like-minded friends having fun together can distract some attention.
Just halfway through the dishes, Liang Chen’s vocal director suddenly said, “Well, everyone eat slowly, I’ll go home first.”
“The dishes are not ready yet.” Liang Chen said, “Ms. Liu won’t stay for a while?”
“Oh…I haven’t been back home before twelve o’clock in the evening for a week.” Guidance Liu wrinkled his chubby face and pointed to the phone, “Go home and accompany his wife.”
“It’s so late.” Liang Chen looked at his watch, “Aren’t you going to Japan tomorrow morning?”
“Yes!” Director Liu said with a helpless expression, “Busy, no way, my wife said she almost never remembered what I looked like.”
The young man at the table laughed. He was not married and at an age when he was still playing. Naturally, he didn’t realize the troubles of married people.
Ajie took the cup and said, “Ms. Liu, the oysters have not come yet. Do you like the oysters from this restaurant the most. How many drinks do you not accompany us?”
Guide Liu swallowed, holding back the glutton in his stomach: “Stop talking, I have to go home quickly.”
“Hahaha Teacher Liu is also a strict wife.” Ajie drank a drink by himself and said, “Then next time I have time to drink two glasses.”
“Definitely!” Guide Liu put on his coat and walked out.
When he passed by Liang Chen, Liang Chen said: “Mr. Liu, I knew you were so busy, so I won’t leave you so late today.”
“What is this!” Director Liu stopped and said solemnly, “This is my job, what to do or how to do it, my wife will understand it.”
Liang Chen was stunned for a moment: “Well, drive slowly on the road.”
After the guidance of Liu left, the dishes were successively served.The big guy was happy and clinked glasses with Liang Chen.
Liang Chen didn’t drink well, so he drank a few cups and then set aside the cup, watching other people play around.
Time flies quickly when you say a word to me.Everyone ate some fruit and went home.
On the way home, Liang Chen finally had the thought to browse through the messages Lu Jing had sent to her, but he still didn’t reply.
Lu Jing sent a lot of messages to her last night, the last one stopped at ten o’clock, and the phone number did not come after a quarter past ten.
Liang Chen thought helplessly, fortunately he didn’t entangle it all night, otherwise she really didn’t know what she would do.
After returning home, Liang Chen let go of his exhaustion, took a shower and sat on the sofa.
Looking through the sheet music in his hand, I thought of Director Liu inexplicably.
Gui Gui Liu got married two years ago. At that time, he had just turned 30 and his wife was 278. The two have been together since college, and they had been married for six or seven years.
The wife guided by Liu should be very happy too.
But when her husband is busy with work every day, I don’t know if she is also uncomfortable.
Unconsciously, Liang Chen thought a little far away. At this moment, the phone rang, and she subconsciously wanted to turn down the volume. Fortunately, she took one more look and realized that it was Ma Shanshan.
“Hello?” Liang Chen picked up and asked, “Mountain?”
“Hmm…” Ma Shanshan’s voice was a little hoarse, a sequelae of drinking, “Yesterday, thank you.”
“It’s nothing, we don’t talk about it.” Liang Chen said, “Where are you now?”
“I am already home.”
“That’s good, thanks to Sun Binyu yesterday.”
Ma Shanshan was silent for a while before saying: “Well, I will thank him.”
“Right.” Liang Chen asked, “Why did you drink yesterday?”
“I…oh, forget it, just in a bad mood.”
“Ok……”
After Ma Shanshan said so, Liang Chen naturally understood why she drank yesterday.
Who else can it be except that man?
Whenever this person is mentioned, Ma Shanshan always treats it with an evasive attitude, but today I don’t know if it is because of the space in the stomach after drinking, she feels somewhat comfortable.
“I… I heard yesterday that he was married.”
“That’s it…” Liang Chen sighed unconsciously, “Shanshan, it’s already over, you should come out.”
Ma Shanshan was silent for a long time before he said, “Well, I know.”
I said I knew it, but I really let her come out, I don’t know what year and month it was.
Thinking of this, Liang Chen couldn’t help feeling a little.
Love always makes people fall into the quagmire.
Probably two women trapped in love have inexplicable magnetic fields. Ma Shanshan seemed to feel Liang Chen’s low pressure, so he asked, “What’s wrong with you?”
Liang Chen was stunned for a moment: “Huh?”
Ma Shanshan said: “I don’t feel you are too happy.”
After holding back for two days, Liang Chen wanted to find an exit.
Ma Shanshan, who has closed himself for a long time, is a good candidate at this time.
Liang Chen said the matter to Ma Shanshan in a few words.
After listening to this, Ma Shanshan just chuckled and said, “Why, do you want to break up with him?”
Liang Chen took a deep breath and said nothing.
Ma Shanshan is no longer that cheerful girl, but she is a good listener at this time. At least, all Liang Chen needs at the moment is to listen.
“Shanshan, breaking up is never the best solution.” Liang Chen said, “At least, I am not a person who says breaking up easily.”
Ma Shanshan on the other end of the phone did not speak. Liang Chen knew she was listening, so he adjusted a comfortable sitting posture. After a glance, he saw the bright bouquet of roses next to the TV.
After so long, a layer of ash has not been dyed, and it still blooms alone in this quiet house.
Liang Chen retracted his gaze and continued: “I have thought a lot in the past two days, but in fact I can find a mature and stable boyfriend——”
“Ding Jiayun?” Ma Shanshan interjected suddenly, rare, with a hint of joking.
“Yeah, how good Ding Jiayun is.” Liang Chen said, “If I were with him, I wouldn’t have these troubles at all. He could solve all the troubles and difficulties first, and let me live like a princess, but— —”
“There is no relationship that a person gives unilaterally. If I have a mature and stable boyfriend, I will face other problems while enjoying this comfort. For such a man, love is only in his life. Part of the work, future, and colleagues is the focus. I chose such a person. I must learn to endure other things in his life. What I want to give him is understanding, consideration, and learning to live rationally. In this relationship.”
Ma Shanshan hummed softly.
“But I chose a young boy myself. I like the love in his eyes when he looks at me, and I also like his vigorous vigor and warm sun. He rushes in recklessly. In my life, I want to give me all the sweetness.”
“What can I give him in such a relationship? I thought about it for a long time tonight, maybe it’s tolerance, it’s company.”
Ma Shanshan said, “Aren’t you angry?”
“Angry, I was so angry yesterday that I wanted him to get out of my life. But what can this solve? It’s nothing more than leaving regrets for myself.”
“Um…” Ma Shanshan said softly, “You feel relieved.”
“Perhaps so, but I think of my childhood.” Liang Chen said, “I remember my mother wouldn’t let me eat candy when changing teeth, but I still stole the candy in the cabinet and accidentally knocked it over. The glass broke to the ground and hurt my foot.”
“You said.” Ma Shanshan thought of the scar on Liang Chen’s foot, as if he had made it when he was a child.
“Later, my mother took me to the hospital for bandaging. When I got home, she asked me to reflect on it myself, and then went out.”
“At that time, I knew I was wrong, but my mother was gone. I was alone at home. I felt that I had made a terrible mistake. The fear was greater than regret. I didn’t even know how to reflect on myself. Thinking, will my mother not want me.”
“Until my dad came back, he knew about it and asked me to write a review book. But he was sitting behind me and he had been with me. He told me that even if I made a mistake, he would also accompany me to correct it. ”
Liang Chen didn’t say any more, Ma Shanshan said, “Well, I understand.”
“I know he was wrong.” Liang Chen continued, “but in the final analysis, his heart is not easy. If he needs to grow, why can’t I be with him?”
