C30 (1/2)
Zhao Jie said resolutely: ”I saw it clearly, it's you! It's definitely you, I won't recognize wrong! Tell me, what exactly are you doing right now, and what does it have to do with Chief C? ”
I calmed my emotions before replying, ”You've really seen the wrong person. I've never even seen Chief C's face before, let alone appearing in the news. You've really fooled me!”
Zhao Jie asked again, ”You … Tell me, are you now the bodyguard of Chief C? Say, tell me, don't lie to me, okay? ”
I said, ”Ask.”
Zhao Jie seemed to be silent for a moment, and then she mustered up her courage to ask: ”If it's now … I still want to be your girlfriend, and you still … Will you still accept me? ”
My heart immediately thumped. Honestly speaking, I have waited for many years for these words to come out, I had always thought that if one day Zhao Jie could change her mind and return to my side, how happy would I be, how happy. But I realized then that I was wrong. I didn't feel happy at all. Instead, I felt very sad, very sad. I could feel that my eyes were already slightly moist, because I had long since understood that it was already impossible for Zhao Jie to become the other half of my life. Forever, forever.
I forced a smile and asked: ”Zhao Jie, what are you joking about?”
Zhao Jie said: ”I'm not joking, I'm serious. ”Only now do I know that I have truly let you down. I should treasure you, but I …”
I interrupted her: ”Enough Zhao Jie, stop talking, you said it before, we are not from the same boat, even if we are forced to be together, we will not be happy, if it is in the past, let it be!”
Zhao Jie sobbed, ”No no, don't do this to me. I already know that I was wrong, I really still like it … Love you! ”
I said smilingly, ”This joke of yours is too big, Zhao Jie. ”Well, I have to get back to work. Let's get in touch!” I quickly hung up the phone, not wanting to hear Zhao Jie's confession anymore. I felt that this sudden confession was too pale to convince me.
I shaved its face to make it as calm as possible, afraid that You Meng would see through my predicament.
The conversation between Zhao Jie and I was clearly heard by You Meng. I had originally thought that You Meng would take the opportunity to ridicule me, but she slapped my shoulder and praised me, ”Ah, Old Zhao, admiring, admiring, you are truly a man! ”If you say so, so be it. I admire you!”
I said smilingly, ”Don't! Don't praise me. I can't stand it.”
You Meng said, ”It was originally supposed to be so. Zhao Jie is not even worth your love! I used to think you were a poor soldier, but I broke up with you. Now that the news have unintentionally guessed your identity, and felt that you are someone close to central head, and that she turned around to reconcile with you, she is obviously a very snobbish kind of woman, not worth your love! ”
You Meng was right, I was only replying with a smile, behind the smile, there was a faint sense of bitterness and reminiscence.
At this moment, my emotions were extremely complicated. Zhao Jie's voice, smile, and appearance were continuously recalled in my mind, making me sigh with emotion. Of course, I can't forget the days and nights we spent together, the beauty and the sorrows, the happiness and the distress. When I look back at the love that died earlier, I can't accept it when it reappears. Perhaps, Zhao Jie isn't suitable for me, it's just as she said. We're not on the same boat, and the reason why Zhao Jie wants to get back together with me is only to faintly guess my current identity. If she hadn't found me on the news, would she have made up with me again?
Surely not.
This is a very realistic world, I have to accept it. Even though I like Zhao Jie and care a lot about our relationship, I will definitely not continue writing about fate with her. This point, Zhao Jie had to accept. At that time, she was the one who broke up with me. It was she who didn't cherish me. It was she who became tactful and hoped to find a better home than me … Of course, I don't blame her. In terms of affection, I can't rely on impulse alone.
That night, when I finished my shift, it was already midnight, but I could not fall asleep. Perhaps Zhao Jie's sudden change of heart had caused a strong emotional turmoil in my heart. It was well past three in the morning when I fell asleep, and then I had a wonderful dream.
