Chapter 54 A Story
The pedestrians on the pedestrian street were still bustling with people. They were walking through this hot summer night, and everything around was so noisy. Under the slightly hazy street lights, Feng Lei’s shadows flickered and dark. Under this prosperous area, our family seemed inconsistent, as if isolated from the world.
Feng Lei finally finished smoking the cigarette. From the moment he threw the cigarette butt into the trash can next to him, the intoxication on his face disappeared without a trace. He still didn't say anything, staring at somewhere blankly.
I still didn't urge him. Since he could speak, he would definitely speak. The longer he was silent, the more rapid the storm would be.
I followed Feng Lei's gaze and saw that it was a couple snuggling together. Even though the weather was very hot, they were still leaning against each other tightly, with a happy smile on their faces.
I turned my gaze back to Feng Lei's face. What kind of expression was that? Nostalgia? Envy? But it also brought a sense of indifferent sadness, and a feeling of time passing.
"Fang Ying and I have known each other for six years." Feng Lei's eyes were still on the couple, but the voice had already been released. I immediately focused my mind. All the noisy sounds from the outside were naturally filtered by me. I want to be a listener, a listener of Feng Lei.
"That year we just went to college, and I saw her in the military crowd at a glance. At that moment, she just looked at me. Time seemed to stop at that moment, and I still remember it freshly now." Feng Lei said and fell into memories again.
I was still sitting quietly aside, and it was best to remain silent at this time.
...
After a long time, Feng Lei finally came to his senses. He took out another cigarette and held it in his mouth, but it didn't go as expected. His lighter could not be fired after pressing for a long time.
Looking at his melancholy look, maybe this cigarette would bring him a little comfort, so I got up and planned to buy him a lighter, but I never thought that he would pull me back to the bench.
"Forget it, don't smoke it." Although Feng Lei said this on his mouth, the cigarette was still held in his mouth. The only difference was that the cigarette was not lit, but it was held in him, but it also had a different style.
"I spent four years in college with Fang Ying. It can be said that we had a good impression of each other, but we never became lovers. Because we all know that the way couples get along is different from that of friends, we cannot be lovers, or we dare not touch that line. There are too many examples in reality, and we cannot bear the consequences of failure, so both of them maintain that tacit understanding and keep getting along like this." Feng Lei sighed again after saying that.
"Isn't this good?" I couldn't help but say, to be honest, I really envy them for their way of getting along. Everyone says that men and women do not have pure friendship, but didn't Feng Lei and Fang Ying prove this?
"Okay? Yes, I thought so at that time." Feng Lei smiled bitterly and continued, "We were still like that until after graduation, until one day Fang Ying told me that she was in love."
"In love? Didn't you say you have a good impression of each other? Could it be that you are wishful thinking?"
"I thought so at that time." Feng Lei looked at the sky. Today's night sky was very deep, just like Feng Lei's eyes.
Maybe it was because the humidity was heavy tonight, maybe Feng Lei really cried, and a drop of crystal clearness at the corner of his eyes was already shaking at this moment.
He gently wiped it off with the back of his hand, and continued, "I was discouraged at that time and felt that in her eyes, I was a good friend, but no matter how good I was, I would not leave the category of friends, and I was just a friend." At this point, he sighed again.
Thinking of their current situation, I couldn't help asking, "What about it later?"
"Later... Later... I did the stupidest thing in my life. I went back to my hometown alone, then went on a blind date and had a quick flash marriage. It only took two months from returning home to my marriage."
"Married? Brother Lei, are you married?" This news really shocked me.
"Yes, I've been married for a year. I only realized on the day of my wedding that Fang Ying's love was fake... Haha, she had been waiting for more than four years, and her patience had been almost wiped out, so she came up with this method to test me, but I... couldn't stand her temptation."
"Sister Fang Ying...Does she know about your marriage?"
"I know, she came on the day I got married, with blessings to me, but she said to me crying. It was only then that I realized that she had told me that she had a relationship before was fake, but... she came too late."
"Don't you say you too early? She was just in love, you got married directly, leaving no room for buffering for her." I didn't know why, but when I heard Feng Lei's words, I felt angry, and then I couldn't help but say it.
Feng Lei's expression froze and he looked at me in surprise. He might not have expected that my tone would suddenly be so aggressive. I also realized that I had spoken too much just now and smiled a little apologetically.
"You are right, it's my problem. If I weren't that early, the next thing wouldn't have happened."
As soon as Feng Lei said this, I knew that what happened later was not simple. I quickly cheered up and started to be a qualified listener.
"The girl who married me is Song Nan, she is Song Qiang's sister..."
I waited for a long time but didn't see the following. I couldn't help but look up and think that Feng Lei looked. He had become a tearful person at this moment, but he didn't make a sound. He just sat straight, but tears were like a spring.
When he mentioned Song Nan, his emotions were out of control. Could it be that Song Nan had already? This idea was too terrible. I couldn't help but look horrified. Feng Lei was looking at me and whispered: "Looking at your expression, you should have thought that Song Nan had gone. Just the third month after we got married, when I put down all my past plans to live a good life with her, she left me. A car accident left us with heaven and earth forever."
It is not convenient for me to make an evaluation at this time, because this matter is too incredible. This plot can already be filmed a TV series, but it actually happened.
"What...what later?"
"After Song Nan's death, I was depressed for more than a month. Until one day, Song Qiang and Fang Ying appeared in front of me."
Song Qiang's actions made me a little confused, but when I thought about it, Song Qiang's identity was not so embarrassing. In addition to being Song Nan's sister, he is also Feng Lei's good brother. As for Song Nan, I'm afraid Feng Lei can live well, rather than being depressed because of her death.
There is probably only Fang Ying who can cheer Feng Lei up again.
"Then... are you and Sister Fang Ying now?"
"Not now... I didn't consider her feelings when I left. Even if I came back now, I wouldn't have the face to face her again, let alone I can't be sorry for Song Nan who is no longer here."
"Song Nan definitely wants you to live happily, not to be alone for a lifetime!"
"It's so extravagant. A person like me... doesn't deserve it..." When Feng Lei said this this time, there was a twilight breath in his eyes. This is probably the sorrow that is greater than life and death. The only one who can change him may be Fang Ying.
