7 I said I would wait for you
After saying goodbye to Jin Lang that day, Liu Yuwei's life returned to normal. She could pretend nothing had happened, but deep down, she was still churning. For several days, he had appeared in her dreams. She reasoned that it was all due to the exhaustion she'd experienced from work. After a busy few days in Shanghai, training and visiting clients, Liu Yuwei finally boarded the train for her return. The passengers around her, most dressed in business casual attire, carrying laptop bags, made it a true "cow-horse train." She held onto the handle of her suitcase while waiting for her ticket. The surroundings were filled with a cacophony of voices, and the announcements of train schedules continued over the radio. Suddenly, a small boy, like a nimble loach, pushed through the crowd and slammed into Liu Yuwei. Her body swayed uncontrollably, and her phone tumbled from her hand. Liu Yuwei was about to bend down when the woman in front of her crouched down, picked up the phone at her feet, and handed it to her. "Liu Yuwei?" The woman before her eyes widened in surprise, then her lips curled up into a generous, beautiful smile. "It's you, isn't it? I didn't expect to see you here!" Liu Yuwei had never dreamed of running into Song Miao in the bustling, bustling train station. She wondered if it was bad luck, having just seen off one old friend and now welcomed another. She studied the person before her. Song Miao hadn't changed much. Her delicate face was framed by a pair of bright, captivating almond-shaped eyes, and her chestnut curls flowed freely behind her. Compared to high school, she looked less immature and more confident, radiating the charm of a mature woman. They say that God favors beautiful women, unwilling to leave the marks of time on them, and it's true. Although Liu Yuwei had previously encountered Song Miao and Jin Lang at the hotel, they probably hadn't noticed her. "Song Miao, long time no see! I didn't expect to see you again!" Liu Yuwei, regaining her composure, replied with a smile. Seeing the other person also dragging a suitcase, Liu Yuwei casually asked, "Are you going on a business trip to Beijing North?" "No, I'm in Shanghai on business, and I'm currently based in Beijing North. What about you?" Song Miao blinked, a smile still on his face, his eyes brimming with warmth. "Me too, coming to meet a client." The ticket check line began to move forward slowly like a long, creeping dragon. Liu Yuwei leaned slightly, pulling her suitcase along, and followed Song Miao's lead. "By the way, I've been working for Jin Lang lately. Let's have dinner together sometime." Song Miao smiled brightly, his eyes sparkling as he looked directly at Liu Yuwei. Liu...
After saying goodbye to Jin Lang that day, Liu Yuwei's life returned to normal. On the surface, she could pretend nothing had happened, but her heart was still in turmoil.
For several days in a row, he was the figure she saw in her dreams. She analyzed herself and felt that it was because of her work that she was physically and mentally exhausted.
Liu Yuwei was busy with training and visiting clients in Shanghai for a few days and finally boarded the return train.
Looking at the passengers in front, behind, and around me, most of them were wearing business casual clothes and carrying or holding computer bags. It really was worthy of being the legendary "Oxen and Horse Special Train".
She held onto the handle of her suitcase while waiting for her ticket to be checked. The surroundings were filled with a cacophony of voices, and the radio kept broadcasting train information.
Suddenly, a little boy, like a nimble loach, squeezed through the crowd and slammed into Liu Yuwei. Her body swayed uncontrollably, and her phone tumbled out of her hand.
Liu Yuwei was just about to bend down when she saw the woman standing in front of her squatting down, picking up the phone at her feet, and then handing it to her.
"Liu Yuwei?"
The woman in front of him first widened her eyes in surprise, then raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a generous and beautiful smile.
"It's you, I didn't expect to see you here!"
Liu Yuwei never dreamed that she would run into Song Miao in the bustling train station. She wondered if it was just bad luck for her, as she had just seen off one old friend and now welcomed another.
She studied the person before her. Song Miao hadn't changed much. Her delicate face was adorned with bright, almond-shaped eyes, and her curly chestnut hair flowed freely behind her. Compared to high school, she looked less immature and more confident, radiating the charm of a mature woman.
It is said that God is particularly kind to beautiful women and cannot bear to leave traces of time on them. It is indeed so.
Although Liu Yuwei had met Song Miao and Jin Lang together in the hotel before, they probably didn't see her.
"Song Miao, long time no see! I didn't expect to meet you here!" Liu Yuwei came back to his senses and responded with a smile. Seeing that the other party was also dragging a suitcase, Liu Yuwei asked casually, "Are you going on a business trip to Beijing?"
"No, I came to Shanghai on a business trip and my base is now in Beijing North. What about you?" Song Miao blinked, with a smile on his face and a kind look in his eyes.
"Me too, coming to see a client." The ticket checking line began to move forward slowly like a long, wriggling dragon. Liu Yuwei leaned slightly to the side, pulling her suitcase and following Song Miao's footsteps.
"By the way, I'm working for Jin Lang recently. Let's have dinner together if we have a chance."
Song Miao smiled, his eyes sparkling, and looked straight at Liu Yuwei.
When Liu Yuwei heard her mention "Jin Lang", he was stunned for a moment, and the smile on his face froze slightly.
She nodded quickly, "Okay, let's add WeChat."
After checking their tickets, the two said goodbye and went to their respective compartments. After putting away their luggage, Liu Yuwei sat on the high-speed train in a daze. Song Miao and Jin Lang actually worked together. How close must their relationship be to not want to be apart for even a moment?
…
"Wake up, little girl. We've reached the final stop. It's time to get off!"
"Hey, why are you crying? Are you okay?"
Liu Yuwei was awakened from her dream by the cleaning lady on the train. She subconsciously touched her face and found that she actually had tears in her eyes, but her eyes were very dry.
Half an hour ago, she stared at the trees flashing by outside the car window, her consciousness gradually becoming confused...
In the dream, it seemed as if she heard someone crying. Liu Yuwei looked carefully and saw a beautiful girl squatting under a cherry tree crying bitterly. A boy was standing next to her with his head raised and an indifferent expression, but the corners of his eyes seemed to be slightly red.
It’s a bit immoral to spy on others quarreling, so it’s better to hide.
Just as she was about to leave, the boy seemed to see her and walked straight towards her. She thought he was going to scold her, but unexpectedly he took her hand and said, "Let's go."
In the dream, Liu Yuwei was being pulled forward by a hot hand. At first, she was a little hesitant, but when she saw the back of the person pulling her, she couldn't help but cheer for joy in her heart.
The cries lingered in her ears, and she couldn't help but look back at the girl. The girl looked at her with sadness, disappointment, and contempt...
Suddenly, Liu Yuwei turned herself into a girl squatting on the ground, crying in despair and saying, "Can you look back at me?"
But the boy did not look back, leaving behind only a resolute back, and the girl he was holding looked back at him and smiled.
In the next scene, she seemed to be sitting in a conference room for a video conference, but the screen was broadcasting the grand wedding of Jin Lang and a woman. He said to the bride affectionately, "Thank you for coming back to me. You are the only one in my heart all the time."
She was furious, jumped up from her chair and yelled at the screen, "What about me? Who am I?" She wanted to open the door and rush to the wedding, saying "I don't agree!"
The conference room door was locked, and no matter how she pulled, there was no response. So she grabbed her phone and dialed the number she knew by heart, but all she got was a beep, a busy tone...
Standing in the shadows at the street corner under the streetlight, she mustered up the courage to ask the other person, "Why didn't you change your phone number?"
The man looked at her affectionately and replied, "Because I'm waiting for you. I said I would always wait for you."
“This joke is so funny! Hahahaha…”
I laughed and tears came out...
Liu Yuwei was confused by this series of dreams. After getting out of the car, she called Ren Yiming, wanting to invite him for a drink. After all, she had often asked him to accompany her for drinks when she was abroad. However, who knew that the young master had a family dinner tonight and couldn't come out.
[I've made an agreement with Lao Zhang. You go to Freelance and I'll buy you any drinks.]
Less than a minute after hanging up, Ren Yiming sent a message. Freelance was a bar he ran downtown. Liu Yuwei went home to put down her suitcase, hesitated for a moment, and then took a taxi to a small shop she often patronized.
The owner studied in Germany when he was young, and after returning, he opened this quiet bar, which specializes in various craft beers and also offers several cocktails.
As soon as he entered the door, Liu Yuwei found that Lao Liang's store was almost full today. Maybe after a busy week, everyone always wanted to find a corner to relax.
Liu Yuwei walked to the bar, unbuttoned his coat, put it on the high stool beside him, and used his hands to tidy up his hair that was rubbed by static electricity.
"Xiao Wei is here. We have a new flavor of fruit beer today, sea salt lychee. Young girls like it. Would you like to try it?" The boss greeted her warmly and raised his chin at her.
"Brother Liang, there are quite a lot of people here today. I don't want to drink beer anymore. I'm tired of it. Let's try something else!"
As she spoke, she tilted her head slightly, moved her eyes away from Lao Liang's face, and slowly scanned the dazzling wine rack behind him.
"McAllen on the ice!"
"Are you in a bad mood? Why are you drinking so much?" Lao Liang raised his eyebrows, a look of concern on his face, and placed a glass of water in front of her.
Liu Yuwei was about to respond when her phone buzzed on the bar counter. She quickly scrolled through the screen and tapped on the keyboard. After a quick reply to her colleague's WeChat message, her finger unconsciously slid to the "New Friends" section in her address book.
When she came out of the cinema that day, she received a friend request with a black feather avatar, the nickname "JL", and the note "I am Jin Lang".
When they first started dating, Liu Yuwei had laughed at his perfunctory WeChat username, only to be teased by him that the abbreviation was "Jin Lang," the initials of both Jin and Liu. This teasing, which wasn't quite a romantic remark, had left her lips curled up for the entire afternoon.
With the screen of his mobile phone facing downwards on the bar, Liu Yuwei raised the glass in front of him. The aroma of malt mixed with the taste of alcohol filled his mouth and tongue, and the cold liquid instantly became hot and scalding when it entered his stomach.
"Brother Liang, why did your ex-boyfriend, whom you haven't seen for many years, take the initiative to add me on WeChat?" She stroked the raised glass carvings and drew circles along the rim of Yunrun's cup with her fingers.
"Either he wants to rekindle his past relationship with you!" Brother Liang stopped washing the cups he was doing and turned back to her with a chuckle, "Or he wants to send you a wedding invitation and collect your gift money!"
With his current net worth, he wouldn't be short of a small lawyer's fee. However, Liu Yuwei was still amused by Liang Ge's humor. Just as he was about to speak again, he was interrupted by a commotion in a corner of the bar.
"Ah, what are you doing!"
All the guests' attention was drawn to him, and Lao Liang quickly walked out from the bar.
A not-so-young woman in the booth was splashed with beer, and dark liquid dripped down her beige cashmere sweater, making her look quite miserable.
The middle-aged man next to her took some tissues from the table to help her wipe it a few times, but it seemed like he was doing more harm than good. The beer was absorbed by the wool and the mark became more obvious.
What a waste of a good glass of wine. Liu Yuwei didn't want to watch the show anymore, but the man's roar was too penetrating.
"What are you doing? If you want to go crazy, go back home. It's shameful to act like a jerk out here! I've told you countless times that our divorce has nothing to do with her. I just can't live with you anymore!"
"Now you think I'm embarrassing you. Li Jianguo, for all these years I've given birth to children for you, taken care of your parents, and worked hard to run this family, and in the end, I still lost to this woman!"
The woman standing next to the booth roared angrily in response.
"What's so good about her? She's just your first love when you were young. If you can't get her, you'll think about her for the rest of your life, right?" The woman became more and more agitated, and her voice became sharper and sharper.
"Jiang Li, I'm telling you, this marriage can't be divorced. If you want to be with him, you'll just be a mistress for the rest of your life, and be criticized by others!"
The woman threw down some harsh words and rushed out of the door.
The two people in the booth seemed unwilling to endure the judgmental gazes of the crowd, so they scanned the code, paid, and left in a hurry.
"Tell me, will you break up with me for Bai Yueguang in the future?"
A young couple was sitting at the small round table behind Liu Yuwei. The girl was obviously affected by the farce just now and questioned her boyfriend in a coquettish tone.
"Oh, what are you imagining? I don't have any white moonlight. You alone are enough to make me suffer." The boy teased with a doting look and gently scratched the tip of the girl's nose with his finger.
"How have I troubled you? I'm so well-educated and considerate..."
Sweet love is always similar, but bitter relationships are all in their own way.
…
"First love, white moonlight, hehe..." Liu Yuwei drank the wine in the glass and smiled bitterly at himself.
The scene of meeting Song Miao at the station that afternoon resurfaced in my mind. Speaking of which, if we don't count the "one-sided" encounter at the hotel that night, the last time the two of them met face to face was before Song Miao went abroad in his senior year of high school. In the blink of an eye, more than a decade had passed.
During this period, apart from a few occasional greetings on QQ at the beginning, Liu Yuwei hardly ever contacted her on his own initiative. Perhaps it was because he still felt a little guilty and unwilling in his heart.
