Chapter 1Carrying Your Child
It was a rainy evening, the cold wind rolled the fallen leaves ravaged the city, Le Yao and I stood at the entrance of the city's Women's and Children's Hospital with umbrellas, in the midst of the crowds of people, she looked at me with a slight pallor in her countenance.
"Zhaoyang, I'm pregnant."
I froze for a moment, then glared and said, "Find the person who made you pregnant to go ah, you call to ask me out to do what?"
"I've slept with only one man this year, who would I call if not you?"
"I said I slept with only one woman this year, do you believe me?"
"Zhaoyang, are you a man?"
"We are all out to play, don't rely on me for this kind of thing, if you want me to be responsible, take some actual things out, don't play with me for no proof, who would like to become a father in confusion?"
Le Yao was silent for a while and said to me: "The child has been removed, where is the proof."
I was a little angry: "Do you think I'm like a kaiser?Your child removed, and then ......" I raised my hand, and doubly speechless said: "and then, and then and I said that the child is my Zhaoyang's, is your fake naive or I really stupid?...... Le Yao, we are all adults, can do something decent?"
Le Yao bit her lip and looked at me, said in the middle of the day, "You don't want to be responsible right, tomorrow I will go to your company ......"
"I rely on ...... you to it!"I said angrily.
Le Yao tightly biting her lips and looked at me, but I think she is a good actor, I met her in the bar, and then happened a ye love, a woman who often bubble bar, said that a year and I have had a relationship with a man, I want to believe her, I will be a stupid.
I don't want to dwell with her again, took out my wallet, pulled out all the hundred yuan notes inside and handed them to her: "You don't just want money, take it, don't come to bother me in the future!"
Le Yao did not say anything and did not dwell with me again, nodded and turned to hold the umbrella to the hospital to go, as if there is still what owed the cost is not paid off ........
Looking at her lonely back in the rain, I suddenly have an indescribable emotion in my heart, although I do not believe that the child in her stomach is mine, although I am very tired of her, but also feel that her days must not be too good, or else would not be so blackmailed me.
I was silent for a long time and finally called out to her, "Wait ......."
Le Yao turned back to look at me.
I pulled out a bank card from my wallet and handed it to her: "This card can overdraft some money, you just finished surgery, buy yourself something to make up for your body."
Le Yao, however, did not take it, "...... No need, seeing that you are willing to take charge is my purpose, looking for you because I don't want to be slept with and get pregnant in a confused manner!"
In the bar, I was drinking mulled wine while waiting for Fang Yuan, the only friend and colleague who made friends in this city.
From the first day of coming to this bar, I have seen too many lonely women, empty men here drinking all kinds of alcohol, or silence, or eyes full of desire to find a thing called "drunkenness".
As a matter of fact, when we leave the body in the daytime and let our souls get lost in the red lights, we are already drunk.
I forget from which night, I take this place as a place to settle down, I like the women twisting their waist here, like the swaying lights, like all kinds of colors of drinks, like perfume mixed with the smell of tobacco, like the drunkenness here, and then in the drunkenness, will be in the past of the wreckage carved into a tombstone.
Light up a cigarette, smoke off the film on the carton, covered in front of my eyes, looking at the swaying light, the body also followed the swaying, in the light refracted by the film, I seem to see a kind of get by with the rottenness!I can't help but be a little mesmerized!
Fang Yuan jerked off the film in my hand, and my world suddenly became clear again.
"What's the matter with looking for me in such a hurry?"Fang Yuan put down the briefcase in his hand and pulled out a cigarette from my cigarette case to light it for himself.
"Lend me some money, I've been fucking blackmailed!"
"Got the other girl's belly big again?"Fang Yuan said in a strange manner.
"Again your big man ah!This time really blackmailed ......."
"Who blackmailed you this time?"
"What are you asking so much nonsense for?"
"I every time a few thousand, a few thousand borrow you, you girl at least also let me know, my money are TM who was blackmailed right?"
"Le Yao."I said as I angrily lit a cigarette.
"That print model?"
"It's just her, your circle is so chaotic, she said that she was slept with by one man in a year, do you believe it?Fang Yuan, if this matter is put on your body, do you believe it?"I tapped the table with my fingers because of my excitement.
"This kind of thing is not likely to happen to me, and then again she is not to pit you these thousands of dollars, right, last month our department store's publicity posters can be all she shot, the light pay more than 10,000 yuan ......"
I snickered and interrupted Fang Yuan: "You do not see what she usually spends, more than 10,000 yuan can hold her with a month, this moment and other people to play in the accident, there is no money to make amends, and then think of me this cheap pao friend ...... I TM really cheap, at the beginning should not be kindly introduced to her to our company!The money did not give her less earn, and now also in turn pit me, but also a little industry conscience it!
Fang Yuan ignored my anger, lowered his voice and asked me: "Did you do the measure?"
I recalled half a day only remembered to drink fast breaks, really can not think of, said: "sure ...... to not be able to say that was pitched it!"
Fang Yuan suspiciously looked at me, long before sighing to me said: "Zhaoyang, we almost ten years of friends, sometimes really want to advise you, I know Jane Wei and you broke up, you hit a lot, but this is two years in the past, you really don't need to trample on yourself ...... youth does not wait for people, find a good girlfriend down to earth, okay?The girl friend to get down to earth, okay?"
When Jane Wei's name was brought up again, I subconsciously froze before saying, "Don't fuck.I'm not worried about it, I'm doing fine!"
"No shortage of worries!Right?"
Fang Yuan enlightened me half a day, I was impatient to cope with half a day, and finally he left a sentence "rotten mud can not help the wall", with dissatisfaction whisked away, but forgot that I borrowed money with him.
Good in the bar two years, but also from time to time to bring some friends to the bar consumption, and the bar owner is quite familiar with the consumption of this drink temporarily on the account.
Out of the bar, holding an umbrella walking in the rain-drenched streets, I truly understand what is called alone, I struggled in this city for two years, the harvest is endless emptiness and loneliness, in order to get rid of this poison like emptiness and loneliness, I had to wear a mask to hide the shame of living, with this mask, I can live in peace in the indulgence of the self-referral.
But no matter how much I struggled with the edge of pain, she would never come back!
Alone in frustration in the road to walk several stops before returning to their own live in the neighborhood, which is an old neighborhood, old even a property are not, to the first day, listening to the neighborhood of the amahs said that the neighborhood was built in the early 90s of the last century, in the erosion of the long years, each building in the neighborhood look so decadent, but a building next to a building, afraid of their own loneliness, so it seems that every building andThere is life, which makes me think: late at night, they will also say a few whispers to dispel decades of loneliness.
With a cigarette in my mouth, I took out the key from my pocket and walked towards the building I live in, which is the only building with creepers in the neighborhood, and every summer, the south-facing wall is very green. If these buildings, too, are divided into genders, then this building is undoubtedly a woman, an indifferent woman.
From time to time, people feel sad for her!
To my surprise: this dilapidated downstairs parked a red Audi Q7, in my impression, live here for two years, this neighborhood seems to have not appeared more than 500,000 level of car.
Did not think much, I whistled, down the hallway to their own houses, reached the top floor, but was surprised to find that the door of the house is actually hidden, remember to go when clearly locked the door, subconsciously thought that the family came to the thief, fixed his mind before remembering that he has not given the landlord old Lee paid rent for two months, most likely the old Lee to call the rent.
Push open the door, the landlord Lao Li and a strange woman sitting on the sofa, the coffee table set a bunch of Audi Q7 car keys, no doubt downstairs parked that Q7 is this strange girl.
A question then flashed in my mind: what is the magical power of Old Li, the city dweller?Surprisingly with such a noble like white lily inviolable girl appeared in this humble house, this really makes me very puzzled!......
