Chapter 103: We once loved deeply
After finishing the call with Jian Wei, I was a little dazed. Robben beside me noticed my abnormality and pushed me and asked, "Whose phone call? I'm distracted after answering it!"
I came to my senses and said, "A friend, give me your motorcycle keys, I'll go out to do something."
Robben was so cheerful that he didn't ask much, he took out the motorcycle key from his denim jacket and threw it to me, then took out the helmet from his side and gave it to me.
I took the car keys and helmet, then said hello to Le Yao, and ran out of the bar.
Along the way, I drove the modified track motorcycle from Robben, and in just a quarter of an hour I arrived at the moat, but Jian Wei didn't seem to have arrived.
The temperature was so low tonight that the moon in the sky looked so cold. Maybe I really shouldn't have proposed to meet here. After all, Jian Wei is a daughter-in-law. She is very afraid of the cold and does not like the freedom of the wilderness as a rough man like me.
I sat on the stairs by the river first, habitually lit a cigarette, looked at the river surface facing the moonlight, and waited for Jian Wei's arrival.
After a while, I heard the whistle of the car and then stood up. It was indeed Jian Wei's red Cadillac cts. I waved to her. She noticed me and then opened the car door and walked towards me.
I walked towards her, and the two stopped walking one meter away from each other and looked at each other.
Seeing that her clothes were very thin, I suggested, "It's quite cold outside tonight, why don't you go to your car to sit."
"No need, I'll look for you just for one thing, and it'll be fine soon."
"oh."
Jian Wei said again: "Go to the steps by the river and sit and chat."
"Um."
After I finished speaking, Jian Wei walked towards the steps by the river before, and sat down on the steps, and I still sat down at a distance not far from her.
"What are you asking me for?"
Jian Wei didn't say anything extra nonsense, so she took out a bank card from her bag and handed it to me and said, "There is 500,000 yuan on this card, which is my savings over the years. My financial situation is already independent. I haven't asked my parents for money for a long time, so there is only so much that I can take out. I hope it can help you!"
I looked at Jian Wei in surprise. I never expected that she asked me out for this. But when Xiang Chen asked her if she had any money to lend me, she clearly said she didn't...
Did Xiang Chen ask her on purpose? In order not to let Xiang Chen think too much, she said she had no money, and now she gave it to me alone.
Seeing that I had no reaction for a long time, Jian Wei handed the bank card in front of me and said, "What, do you think it's too little?"
"That's not what I mean..."
Before I finished speaking, Jian Wei interrupted and said, "If you don't mean it, just take it." After that, she put the bank card on my lap.
I hurriedly stuffed the bank card back into Jian Wei's hand and said, "Jian Wei, I really can't ask for your money. This is inappropriate, it's too inappropriate!"
"If you want to take it, take it for you." Jian Wei said, pulling my hand and putting the bank card back in my hand.
So our hands were also held together, and I seemed to be hit by a lightning bolt. The softness and slenderness of her hands made me familiar and unfamiliar with me...
I am familiar with her because I have held her hands countless times, and I am unfamiliar because I have not held her hands again in three years!
With my hands tightly clenched, I stared at Jian Wei in a daze, my emotions were violently torn by the deep love I used to and the stranger I am now.
There seemed to be tears flashing in Jian Wei's eyes, but I couldn't see it clearly because we turned our backs to the moonlight.
This is my illusion, it must be my illusion. I panic and let go of Jian Wei's hand and said, "Sorry... I've lost my composure."
Jian Wei replied in a plain tone: "It's okay... Please keep this card, the password is 101206."
I still wanted to refuse, but Jian Wei had already stood up and said to me again: "Zhaoyang, you still like to hold on and think about others as before, but there is no need to do so. If you lend this money to you, you don't need to be burdened, because you will pay it back to me in the future."
"You will be unhappy if Xiang Chen does this." I reminded Jian Wei.
"I knew he would be unhappy, so I looked for you alone."
"But why do you do this?"
Jian Wei, who has always been decisive, was silent for a long time when facing this problem, and finally said: "I don't know... maybe it's because... we once loved it deeply!"
Suddenly, a cold wind that seemed to blow from the lake surface started. Jian Wei turned her body with the cold wind and walked gently towards the river bank. I just took the bank card she left for me and stared blankly until she got into her own car, until the car was carrying her figure completely disappeared from my sight.
...
Another gust of wind blew the moonlight shaking uneasyly on the river surface. I did not leave, and lay on the lawn and let the wind cut me.
I tried my best to empty myself, not wanting to think of the past between myself and Jian Wei, but the memories surging with the wind that had been cut, and a warm feeling suddenly came from the corners of my eyes, because of Jian Wei's words, "Maybe it's because we once loved deeply."
This sentence filled me with pain and helplessness. We have indeed loved each other deeply, but following the footsteps of time and looking at this love again, it is already so pale and so weak that Jian Wei uses the past to tell that love.
I pinched the bank card I left tightly and once again felt the pain of wanting to hold it but couldn't hold it.
...
I rode Robben's motorcycle like I was venting and went all the way. After I returned the bar in a shorter time than when I came, I returned the key and helmet to Robben, and said nothing, and asked the bar for the strongest wine, and then drank it one by one in silence.
Le Yao grabbed the wine glass from my hand, grabbed me, and asked with a sob, "Zhaoyang, what's wrong with you?...Is it because of my affairs that put too much pressure on you?"
I broke free from Le Yao, took the wine glass back from her hand, but squeezed out a smile and said, "It has nothing to do with you. I just want to drink. I have a bad sleep recently. If I drink some alcohol, I won't have insomnia."
"Then you drink less... don't get drunk!"
"Don't worry, I won't get drunk."
He came over from the performance stage and said to me, "Mi Cai called me just now and said she was going to Leyao's bar to sit."
"Why, have you not brought her to play before?" I finally put down my cup and asked.
cc smiled and said, "She was invited to play, but she has been very busy and may only be available tonight."
I replied and didn't say anything again.
