Chapter 189: Confession Bureau (Part 2)
“Oh~ you are very good at asking questions!”
Xu Yang laughed.
This simple-minded guy obviously regards this issue as something as frivolous and illusory as an anime heroine’s party struggle.
But Lin Tong knew very well that it was not the case.
This is actually happening in real time in the real world! ! !
Right in front of everyone! ! !
If you are not careful, you may open the Shura field and get blood splattered on your face! ! !
He really wanted to grab Xu Yang's collar and ask him what kind of airplanes he was doing on weekdays. He couldn't tell such an obvious situation.
But of course it was impossible for Lin Tong to do this, so he could only silently drink a sip of wine and pray that he wouldn't say something he shouldn't have said.
"Let me think about what I said. I am an iron-blooded youth."
Xu Yang turned the bottle of wine, thoughtfully.
Su Chengyi had no expression on his face after hearing this, and just said "Oh?"
“I think it’s not bad to fall from the sky.”
Lin Tong quickly answered.
Su Chengyi's expression remained unchanged and he said "hmm".
Obviously, the parties involved themselves have no ideas.
Since the moment this topic started, Lin Tong had a storm in his head, thinking about countermeasures.
I didn’t think about it.
But I vaguely felt that this was an extremely important decision, and Su Chengyi could not be led astray by the drunken chatter of friends who had no experience in love.
So the key is – “keep a balance”.
When Xu Yang talks about green plums, he talks about falling from the sky.
Anyway, it’s better to keep Su Chengyi from making a decision.
Because if everyone prefers one side, he might get drunk and call him directly to confess his love.
That means there is no way to end it.
Because he didn't think clearly about the decision he made in that situation, and he would definitely regret it later.
This is a great harm to Su Chengyi himself and the chosen party.
And it is very likely that Xu Yang and himself who formed a drinking game will be resented by the losing party.
God, is there anything more terrifying than this in the world? ? ?
No matter how you look at Chu Qingmian and Chen Jinzhi, neither of them will give up.
Lin Tong felt a chill down his back when he thought about what it would be like to be stared at by either of them.
He secretly made up his mind to maintain a good balance on the scale.
"Holy shit, how could anyone not stand by Qingmei? Companionship is the longest confession of love!
Love at first sight is false, long-term love is the way to go."
< br>Xu Yang patted the table and spoke plausibly.
Listening to the two of them talking, Su Chengyi silently opened another bottle of wine for himself.
I opened it directly on the corner of the table without using chopsticks.
Indeed, time will tell.
"Betting on books makes the fragrance of tea disappear. At that time, I just thought it was ordinary."
Su Chengyi thought about the diligent work of the small squad leader over the years.
If you missed it in the past, now it’s time to cultivate it naturally, right?
“But love is not dependence, it is not a habit, it is not something that can grow naturally over time.”
Lin Tong is good at math, has strong logical thinking, and calmly fights back.
It seems to make sense.
Su Chengyi raised his head and took another sip of wine. Chen Jinzhi's peach blossom eyes, which seemed to be smiling but not smiling, vaguely appeared in front of his eyes.
"Then love is not a momentary heartbeat! Heartbeat is such a simple thing. I can be heartbeat eight hundred times a day."
Xu Yang was very unconvinced, but as he rolled his eyes, he suddenly thought Something terrible.
"By the way, Mu Mu, do you have someone you like? Why do you say it so righteously? It's not like you!"
Lin Tong didn't expect that he would help Su Chengyi maintain balance, but I made the mistake of pointing the finger at myself.
He quickly waved his hands in panic and denied:
"No, no. How is it possible?!"
"Really? If you lie to your brother and confess your love, you will definitely fail. I tell you."
Xu Yang came forward in a mean manner.
"Of course not. I don't have the time to think about these things now."
Although Lin Tong was indeed innocent, he was asked this question out of the blue, and even after drinking, his face turned red. It turned red.
"It seems so."
Xu Yang thought of how much Lin Tong valued learning, and suddenly felt that he was thinking too much.
"What if I go to college in the future?"
But his fire of gossip is still burning brightly.
Lin Tong thought for a while and replied:
"Study hard, get a scholarship, and strive for graduate school."
Yes, Lin Tong is a role model for our generation.
Su Chengyi sipped the wine and silently crowned him in her heart.
".I'm really convinced! I mean, if you can fall in love in college, what would you like?"
It is clear that he has no experience, but Xu Yang has a look of hate on his face He looks like someone who has been through it all.
"I don't know."
Lin Tong frowned and thought for a long time, then shook his head.
“Can’t you even name a genre?”
“What genre do you like?”
Su Chengyi, who had been silent since the beginning, suddenly spoke up.
After drinking, Su Chengyi became much more energetic, and his eyes were not as lazy and cold as usual, but sharp and sharp.
Inexplicably feeling like being scrutinized by the examiner, Xu Yang was stunned for a moment and replied hesitantly:
"Gentle and considerate."
"Han Bing is like this. "
Su Chengyi told Xu Yang's biggest secret in a calm manner.
"Hey!! No! Mr. Yi! How did you expose me!!"
Xu Yang suddenly became confused, panicked and at a loss.
"Okay, there is no uninformed person here."
Su Chengyi remained calm.
“Huh?”
Xu Yang looked at Lin Tong with some suspicion. The latter's face was a little apologetic and a little embarrassed, but he was not shocked.
“You really know, is it so obvious?”
Xu Yang scratched his head in frustration.
I thought it was well hidden.
“Exceptionally obvious.”
Lin Tong made another gentle stab in an apologetic tone.
"So there is no definite conclusion as to what type I like."
Su Chengyi said this slowly.
"Oh! You are very experienced, Mr. Yi. So, what do you choose for the question you just asked? Green plum or heaven?"
Xu Yang said this very unintentionally, just casually. Just found a topic.
But Lin Tong almost choked to death on the sip of wine that had not been swallowed in his throat.
Why did the topic he worked so hard to avoid come back again? !
“I don’t know.”
Su Chengyi thought for a while and shook his head.
“Let’s go back to our roots and choose whichever one looks good.”
Xu Yang smiled mischievously.
When he said this, he had no specific image in mind. He could only think of some of the most common settings in anime.
For example, long and straight black hair, twin ponytails and yellow hair.
But Su Chengyi thought seriously for a while before replying:
“It’s almost the same, I can’t choose.”
How do you make it sound like these two people really exist? Mr. Yi is too serious.
Xu Yang couldn't help but feel funny.
Lin Tong looked at his playful expression with mixed emotions.
“No, no.”
Xu Yang took another sip of wine and suddenly thought of something. Just as he was about to speak, Lin Tong said first:
"Qingmei and Tianxiang are just labels in the final analysis. If you really want to do this kind of multiple-choice question, there is only one selection criterion
-Who do you like?"
"Throw away the label , regardless of the order of appearance, regardless of the first-come, first-served principle in relationships, who do you like?"
Lin Tong said a lot of words in one breath before picking up the wine glass to embolden himself.
He was afraid that Xu Yang would say some irreparable lies again.
"Yes! Choose whoever you like!"
Xu Yang laughed and agreed, and took the initiative to clink glasses with him.
Choose whoever you like.
Su Chengyi was silent for a long time, seemingly thinking seriously, but in fact his mind was in chaos and he thought of nothing.
He sighed softly.
In those days when he was alone and surrounded by shadows in his previous life, Su Chengyi refused to communicate with others.
But sometimes he will pay people to talk to him.
Psychological counseling is very expensive, especially in the highest-level consulting rooms.
At that time, the warm candlelight around me was swaying, and the air was filled with soothing incense.
At first, he was just making ticks on various scales, but later he switched to very technological equipment, and even his brain waves were being monitored in real time.
Su Chengyi lay on the soft sofa and closed her eyes.
Sometimes I feel like an alien creature about to be dissected in a science fiction movie.
The psychological counselor will slowly talk to him after he calms down.
Su Chengyi has read relevant papers and professional books many times. The more times he comes, he can almost guess what the consultant will say next.
“How are you feeling lately?”
"Do you have a strong reaction to the medicine?"
"Is your sleep okay?"
"Have you ever thought of committing suicide?"
Su Cheng answered mechanically without thinking:
“Not bad.”
"Acceptable."
"Occasionally insomnia."
"Generally speaking, no."
He is not here to cure himself, he just wants to find a quiet place Lie somewhere for a while and review the language functions for communicating with others.
That’s all.
Su Chengyi had rested enough. After he opened his eyes, the counselor would occasionally talk to him about his psychological problems.
"Avoidant attachment personality, do you have any information you would like to share about this?"
"Attachment can be defined as a long-term relationship between one person and another person across time and space. Emotional connection is a psychological phenomenon that lasts from cradle to grave.
Psychologist Ainsworth invented the famous Strange Situation Method. By observing and studying children's exploratory behavior, attachment behavior and separation anxiety response in two situations: the presence or absence of the attachment figure, we have successfully divided attachment into three types, namely secure, avoidant and anxious. .
Avoidant attachment is more difficult to establish close relationships with other individuals and will be greatly hindered in interpersonal communication. ”
Su Chengyi's eyes drifted, not knowing where he was looking, and he answered calmly as if he was giving an academic report.
The consultant smiled helplessly, stood up and poured him a cup of tea.
"Compared with professional academic terms, I want to know more about its specific manifestation in you."
At that time, Su Chengyi took the tea cup and shook his head.
“Intimacy first needs to be established before I can observe its physical manifestation.”
The steaming tea cup in his hand turned into a cold beer glass. Su Chengyi pulled away from the memories and returned to the real world.
He didn’t know why he suddenly recalled things from his previous life.
Obviously they are two completely different environments. The consulting room is quiet and dead, but here it is noisy and lively. There were two guys in front of me who were drinking heavily.
But he vaguely felt that he could now answer the questions raised by the consultant.
Contradiction and hesitation, escape and silence.
This is what manifests itself in intimate relationships.
“You say you like the rain, but you hold an umbrella when it rains.
You say you like the sun, but you hide in a warm place when the sun shines.
You Say you like the wind, but close the window when the wind blows.
So I will be afraid of you saying that you like me too. ”
Rather than a long-term and firm intimate relationship, he prefers to believe that colorful clouds are easy to scatter and glass is fragile, and good things in the world are not firm.
In general, after rebirth, although social anxiety has been reduced a lot, I still have a very pessimistic attitude when it comes to emotional issues.
Su Chengyi held his chin and thought. But this doesn't seem to have much to do with those two.
Chu Qingmian was already very determined. He thought of the look in her eyes when she said, "I will always advance and retreat with you."
She just came close to showing him her sincerity.
The same goes for Chen Jinzhi, just like a person who is used to wearing a mask. Over the years, the mask has become integrated with flesh and blood.
As long as you don't try to take it off, there will be no pain.
She won’t do it herself, but she will come close and give him the right to unmask.
Just now Lin Tong said, put aside labels and all external factors.
Just follow your heart, who does he like?
"What exactly is liking?"
Su Chengyi suddenly asked.
While Lin Tong was exchanging cups with Xu Yang, he had been secretly observing Su Chengyi opposite him.
Looking at his thoughtful expression, Lin Tong's heart beat like a drum.
Is it possible that the finale will happen tonight?
It wasn’t until he suddenly asked such a sentence that Lin Tong realized
——Well, it’s still early for the ending.
Xu Yang glanced at Lin Tong, who was dazed next to him, and then at Su Chengyi, who asked the question.
He realized that he was the only one on this table who could answer this question, and he suddenly felt that he had a heavy responsibility.
Whether these two idiots can successfully fall in love in the future depends on themselves!
After thinking for a while, Xu Yang pretended to be profound and said:
"Tossing and turning for you, why not give up the world for you."
"Sing a few lines?"
Su Chengyi took a bite of the toasted and crispy steamed bun slices, which were slightly cold.
"Hey, you've heard of it."
Xu Yang smiled and hummed a few words, not paying attention.
"It seems to be raining in the sky~ I really want to live next door to you~ Hey, that's what it means anyway."
He waved his hand and continued:
" I can't sleep just thinking about her. I have to give up a lot of things I like for her. It makes me heartbroken when I think about her being with someone else."
Xu Yang's expression was very serious when he said this, and he even covered his chest.
"Although I don't like anyone yet, I think that's probably the case. At least I have to sympathize with her feelings and put her first."
Lin Tong agreed.
Su Chengyi lowered his eyes and said nothing.
“Oh, I am so light without love. I envy you so much.”
Xu Yang obviously thought of something sad, and he raised his head and drank a few more gulps of wine.
Lin Tong wanted to stop him, but he grabbed him instead, folded his arms and started crying.
"Wooden!! I feel so miserable. Why can't I wake up earlier? Do you think I have a chance? Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Turned into tears of lovesickness.
Su Chengyi also drank together, but what he was thinking about was:
Do I still have the ability to like others?
Maybe there is, but it is within a controllable range, a safe range that can be withdrawn at any time.
This is almost not something he can decide on his own, but is a direct result of his innate fear of intimacy.
This part of the emotion is all he can give.
“What can I do to keep you.
I give you the sorrow of a person who has been looking at the lonely moon for a long time.
I give you the loyalty of a man who has never had faith.
I give you the core of myself that I have managed to preserve, the core that is untouched by time, joy, and adversity.
I give you my loneliness, my darkness, the hunger of my heart.
I try to impress you with confusion, danger, failure. ”
Su Chengyi vaguely and intermittently recalled Borges's famous poem in his mind.
Lin Tong watched the two preoccupied people drinking harder than the other. He didn't know where to stop them even if he wanted to.
We can only hope that what Xu Yang said, "The young master has a very good drinking capacity" and "How could he be so intoxicated by just drinking beer?" are true.
"Yi Zong! Listen to me, no matter who you like, just move forward and that's it!
If you don't give it a try, how will you know who you really like?"
Bad news, Xu Yang is already a bit tongue-tied.
Even worse news, he is saying some strange and misleading things.
Lin Tong picked up a piece of steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth.
“Okay!”
Su Chengyi raised his glass and clinked it with him.
The worst news has come, and Su Chengyi, who drank too much, seems to have really heard it.
It’s over, I really fooled him.
Lin Tong held his forehead, regretting once again that he had come to participate in this drinking party.
One of these two people dared to speak and the other dared to listen. They drank in a daze and didn’t know how much they drank. Beer bottles were scattered all over the floor.
Fortunately, Xu Yang had already deposited the food money at the front desk, and the bosses had already closed the stall and left.
Lin Tong rummaged through all four pockets on his body.
In total, there are only twenty yuan here and there.
After Sister Lin changed her job, she gave him more and more pocket money, but he saved all of it and didn't use it.
I still want to keep the twenty yuan to buy refills.
It was impossible to send them both home with this little money, not to mention that he didn’t know their home addresses.
We can only take them back to our home first, Lin Tong thought, pulled out the chair and stood up.
But taking a taxi should cost more than twenty yuan, right?
The phone is out of battery, and I don’t know if my sister is home yet. Can I tell the master to get off the car and go home to get the money?
Lin Tong looked at the table unconscious with a grimace. The two people in charge were a little at a loss.
He opened the curtain and took a look outside. It was quiet outside and there were very few vehicles coming and going.
Lin Tong decided to call a car first.
As a result, after more than ten minutes of being blown by the evening wind, I didn’t even encounter a taxi.
Just when he was about to despair, a red tricycle drove over.
The car window was rolled down, and an old man with gray hair leaned out and asked him:
"Hi, kid. Do you want a ride?"
Lin Tong swallowed and carefully checked the safety of the car.
"It's dangerous. It's very safe. I've been an experienced driver for decades, can you leave?"
The uncle swung the car's faucet as if to show off his skills.
Why do I feel more unsafe?
But there is no other way.
Lin Tong glanced at the quiet and lonely street and nodded.
Together with the uncle, he helped the drunk man to the back seat with difficulty.
Xu Yang is so big that he takes up half of the space by himself.
In order to take care of them, Lin Tong sat in the middle, feeling that all his internal organs were being pressed together.
Unfortunately, the uncle deliberately drove the car in a cool way, as if he was dissatisfied with his questioning of the technology just now.
So the car bumped very hard.
The three people in the back row were jumping up and down like a disco.
Xu Yang was the tallest and knocked his head all the way to the hood of the tricycle, "dong dong dong", like knocking on a wooden fish.
Even so, he showed no signs of waking up.
Su Chengyi sat on the far side, sleeping with his head leaning against the car window, bumping into it from time to time.
Originally, he felt a little uncomfortable after drinking, but after being treated like this, Lin Tong felt like he was going to vomit in the next second.
He quickly opened half of the back window.
The windows of the tricycle are still the old-fashioned push-pull type.
The cool night breeze blew in, and the dull air in the car finally became a little fresher.
Even the unpleasant sounds of the engine and the tires rubbing against the ground are no longer so obvious.
Lin Tong moved with difficulty, placing one hand on Xu Yang's head and the other on the side of Su Chengyi's face.
There are two beds in the house, and my sister sleeps in one. I freed up my own bed for them to sleep on, and then I made the floor and made it.
While he was planning what to do tonight, Su Chengyi on the right suddenly sat up straight.
“Where are you going?”
Lin Tong moved his somewhat stiff wrist, and was a little surprised that his tone sounded so sober.
"Go to the olive area. You both just passed out from drinking. I'm thinking of taking you home to rest for the night."
"Olive area? No, I have an acquaintance."
Su Chengyi's eyes were clear and his tone was calm.
If he hadn't entered the wrong lock screen password three times in a row, Lin Tong would have almost thought he had sobered up.
Finally opened the phone screen, and saw that he directly clicked on WeChat.
Lin Tong suddenly realized what he was doing and was shocked.
Olive area? ! He doesn't want to call Chen Jinzhi, right?
Is this appropriate for a man and a woman alone?
And if Chen Jinzhi’s parents find out, they might pack him up and send him to the police station!
Lin Tong was very nervous, but due to moral principles, he did not dare to look at his WeChat interface.
Su Chengyi clicked on the chat interface with a person, held down the voice button, and said in a low voice:
"Wukong Wukong!"
? ?
What?
Lin Tong finally couldn't restrain his curiosity and turned around to take a look.
The name of the contact person reads: "He Wufei".
It turns out to be the weirdo in the raincoat from before.
Lin Tong breathed a sigh of relief.
I was scared to death, thinking that I was going to witness some scenes that I shouldn’t witness again.
“Wukong, why don’t you pick me up quickly.”
"I will arrive at the battlefield immediately."
Are you already familiar with this?
But Lin Tong also knew that He Wufei was a very good person and there should be no problem.
Perhaps because he felt that the other party was a little confused and difficult to communicate, Su Chengyi didn't have the patience to explain anymore and dialed the phone directly.
“Pick me up.”
Lin Tong pricked up his ears and listened to the movement on the other side.
I don’t know why I didn’t hear any sound, it was like the other party hadn’t spoken.
"Pick me up, I'll be there soon."
Su Chengyi looked out the window.
After drinking, he moved awkwardly and looked like he was about to jump out of the car to escape.
Lin Tong quickly grabbed him and reminded him loudly:
"Oliver Road bus stop."
"Oliver Road bus stop."
Su Chengyi repeated obediently. .
The other party hung up the phone immediately after hearing the place name.
Lin Tong thought, this is good, it just solves the accommodation problem.
Otherwise, it would be a bit too unfair for them to sleep on the single bed at home.
Maybe it will roll to the ground at night.
“We’re here!”
The uncle braked suddenly, and the tires rubbed against the ground, making a screeching sound.
"Uncle, how much is it?"
Lin Tong asked cautiously.
The uncle turned around and said with a smile:
“I’m done with the two hundred.”
Looking at Lin Tong’s frightened expression, the uncle laughed. Laugh:
"Just tease your child and you'll get twenty."
"Thank you, sir."
Lin Tong breathed a sigh of relief and handed over the twenty yuan change in his pocket.
He first helped Xu Yang out of the car, and then went around to the other side to help Su Chengyi, when he saw that he had already jumped out of the car.
Fortunately, he woke up suddenly, otherwise he really wouldn’t know how to help two people.
After watching the red tricycle drive away again, Lin Tong shrank his neck and felt that the night breeze was still a little cool.
Wearing short sleeves, goosebumps appeared on my arms.
I turned around to ask Su Chengyi if He Wufei had arrived, but I saw him looking in the direction of the bus stop sign opposite with a smile on his lips.
Lin Tong looked over with some confusion.
When he saw clearly the figure wrapped in a light-colored coat next to the stop sign, he was so frightened that he almost fainted on the spot.
Who can tell him why Chen Jinzhi is here? ? ?
At this time, He Wufei, who had just returned home after a day of hard work and was about to go to bed, fell into deep thought while listening to a few voices on his mobile phone.
