Chapter 88
After spending some time in school, they finally approached adulthood and it was time to look for a job. They were still good friends on the eve of graduation, so Liu Caomei found Green.
"Where do you think it would be better for me to work?"
"I don't know, but if it's an island, maybe we'll be happy."
"Do you think we'll work in the same place?"
"I have a place I want to go. I'm not sure if you'll go, but I think you'll definitely go. So I assume it's us. If you feel uncomfortable, I apologize."
"No need to apologize, but I want to know where you want to go."
"I can't tell you, because maybe my behavior will affect you. I hope that wherever you go, it's out of your heart, not influenced by me."
"I don't see that you still have this hope. That's not what you said to me before."
"What did I say to you before? I don't remember anymore. I've said so many things to you, but it's too difficult for me to write down every word of every sentence."
"We grew up together, and the words we said to each other were indeed cruel, but some of them were special, so I remember them. It doesn't matter if you can't remember them all of a sudden, I remember them anyway."
"Are you here to quarrel with me?" "
That's not the case. You don't want to tell me where you are going, so what's the point of me looking for you?"
"Maybe we can discuss your future career aspirations, such as what kind of job you want to do."
"I want to be a good person, at least on the surface, and I can do what I want to do within the scope of my career, or what I should do, which is what a good person should do."
"Do you want to be a policeman?"
"Yes, and I thought you thought so too, so I felt that there was no need to discuss this. You don't seem to think so, don't you plan to do the same thing as me?"
"I want to make it clear that no matter what I seem to think, my life plan does not include the same things as yours. Do you understand what I mean?"
"I roughly know. Let's meet later. You don't want to tell me where you are going, so I can only guess."
"I think you should have a clearer and more personal life plan instead of following me. I can't do anything for you."
Green paused.
"And you are an adult now. It won't be long before you find a job. By then, you will need me less and less, and you can live alone."
Green whispered.
"Don't talk to me with this expression, like an old father talking to his child. I don't like this feeling. Our ages are obviously not much different."
Liu Caomei protested with a fist.
"I know. I apologize to you. I'm sorry. I shouldn't treat you in this way. Next time, I will pay attention to my behavior, attitude and thoughts."
Green nodded to him and turned to leave.
"Where are you going?"
Liu Caomei grabbed him and asked.
"I'm going to do what I want to do. I hope to give you some time and quiet space so that you can think about what you will do in the future. You need to know what you will be happy doing."
Green replied in a low voice.
"But of all people, I am happiest with you. Of all things, I will be happiest when I do what I want to do, and I have told you what I want to do, and you clearly know it."
Liu Caomei was a little angry and stared at him with red eyes.
"I'm sorry, it's my attitude that's wrong. I always thought you were still the same kid as before."
Green replied in a low voice.
"I don't like to hear your apology, and I'm not here to pick a fight. There's no point in hearing your apology, and there's even less point in making you unhappy. Why do you always treat me like this? Have I done anything wrong?"
Liu Caomei frowned, walked up to Green, stared at him closely, and asked in a low voice.
"Nothing, I don't know why it's like this. Maybe it's because you look a bit like someone I knew before, and I can't help but think of that person when I see you."
Green said with his back to him.
"You and I grew up together, and I know everyone you know. How could there be someone I don't know but you know? Who is it that can make you miss him for so long?"
Liu Caomei's face was somewhat teasing.
Green shook his head.
"I don't remember what that person looks like. I remember that person's voice, but I don't remember what gender that person is. I only remember that there was such a person and such an incident."
Green's expression was even more sad than before, as if that person was already dead, which made it difficult for Liu Caomei to continue asking.
Liu Caomei gritted her teeth.
"Anyway, I thought we were still friends. If we were really friends, you should stop talking to me with that expression, or I would be sad."
Liu Caomei stopped Green and said.
Green nodded.
Liu Caomei couldn't stop him anymore, so he had to let him go.
After he got home, he looked through the photo album, the phone book, and the notebook, but he couldn't find anything.
Because he couldn't imagine that Green actually had a friend who he couldn't forget for a long time, but he couldn't even remember what that friend looked like, what voice he sounded like, or what gender he was.
If he really didn't remember, how could he remember it now? But if he really remembered, how could it be like this?
Liu Caomei frowned and closed the photo album, putting the things back to their original places one by one.
He looked at those things and sighed, and suddenly wanted to do a big cleanup.
So he spent the whole day cleaning up, and in the evening he wanted to drink again, so he went to the barbecue stall outside to drink, but found Green here.
"Why are you here? I remember your residence is not nearby."
Liu Caomei walked to the table next to Green and sat down.
"I wanted to come and see you.
I thought, you asked me so many things during the day, I wonder if you will forget them at night, maybe you will, so I came to see you, it would be great if you can meet you out.
If not, I will leave after dinner."
Green smiled at him.
Today Green looked too gentle and a little weird, as if he was going to do something that they would not be able to see for a long time.
Liu Strawberry didn't like this feeling, he grabbed Green, as if he had pulled a kite flying in the sky into his hands, or as if he had caught a low-flying crow.
"So is this all you have to say to me now?"
Liu Strawberry asked, holding Green.
"Nothing else."
Green shook his head and drank a bottle of wine. Liu Strawberry realized that Green had already drunk a bottle of wine, his face was a little red, and he was drunk.
"Rest at my place tonight, you can't drive like this. "
Liu Caomei said.
"It doesn't matter if I can't drive, I can take a taxi or take the bus. It's not too late now and all the buses are there."
Green smiled and patted the back of his hand.
Liu Caomei was a little confused.
He used to think that he wanted to see Green when he was unconscious, but now he finds that Green's unconsciousness and sobriety are the same, which makes people puzzled. He
actually just wanted to know what Green looked like when he was telling the truth, because he always felt that Green had never really opened his heart to him.
"But I watched a horror movie today and I'm a little scared. I think you can accompany me tonight."
Liu Caomei hesitated and lied.
Green smiled at him: "Okay. "
Although Green agreed to him, Liu Caomei felt that Green actually knew everything, but was still willing to accompany him for a night even if he lied.
Why?
If Green didn't regard him as a friend, this was completely unnecessary.
If Green regarded him as a friend, why didn't he expose him? Even if he didn't expose him, why was it like this now?
He didn't understand.
But he and Green had barbecue and drank, and went home together.
The next morning when he woke up from the bed, he suddenly felt that those problems didn't matter if they were not entangled, because Green would always be there.
He was sure that Green couldn't leave because of something.
Although it was absurd, ridiculous and despicable to use things he didn't know to restrain Green, he had no choice. He just hoped that it would not be too much to have such a friend by his side from beginning to end. .
He convinced himself to be refreshed and opened the door.
Green had already left, and he found a note on the table, where Green told him to go back to work.
Liu Strawberry thought, okay.
He put away the note and began to wash up.
He didn't know if he had guessed correctly where Green was going, but he filled in the address of his desired work according to his guess.
He finally graduated from school and got the job he wanted. He packed up and went to work and met Green on the first day.
Green had been working here for a while and looked very familiar. He was a little surprised when he saw him, but he quickly regained his composure, as if he had expected it.
Looking at Green's calm expression, Liu Strawberry had an illusion that Green knew his whole life, but just didn't tell him.
At noon, Liu Strawberry deliberately found Green.
"I heard that the lunch here is very good, but I can't find the cafeteria. Can you take me there? They all said that you didn't just start working here today, so I think you might be able to find it."
Liu Strawberry stopped Green.
"Okay."
Green was stunned for a moment, smiled at him, and agreed to his request.
They went to the cafeteria one after another, but people looked at them along the way.
"They seem to be wondering about something. Did you do something?"
Liu Strawberry was a little curious.
"Usually I go to the cafeteria alone or simply don't go. Today is the first day I take people there, and you are a newcomer. It's normal for them to be curious."
Green answered without looking away.
Liu Strawberry nodded.
Green stood in front of him in the queue to get the food, took him to find a seat, and they sat at a table and ate face to face.
