Chapter 548 Beauty cannot be narrowly defined
Liu Wangxue took Xu Qingsong's arm and deliberately fell two steps behind Ye Yan and Shi Wenjun. She had something to ask Xu Qingsong. But when she fell behind, she looked up again. When she was in front of the down jacket store, she saw a figure not far ahead who looked like Xu Qingsong. It was Shi Wenjun.
Liu Wangxue gently tugged on Xu Qingsong's arm, motioned for him to lean over, and whispered: "The back I just pointed out to you is him."
Xu Qingsong looked at Shi Wenjun and asked in a low voice, "Does it look like him?" He didn't think so.
Liu Wangxue continued to laugh at him in a suppressed voice: "Humans don't have eyes on the back of their heads, so you must not be familiar with your own back. I am an intuitive and objective evaluation, and I can tell you with absolute certainty that the similarity is at least There are seven or eight points.”
"Okay." Xu Qingsong also smiled. When he saw the dimple on her cheek, he felt itchy and wanted to kiss it.
While talking, they reached the escalator, took the escalator downstairs, and stood relatively close to each other. Liu Wangxue and Xu Qingsong stopped talking.
After getting off the escalator, Liu Wangxue took Xu Qingsong two steps slower and asked him: "You just said that she has changed a lot. How big is it? It's so big that you didn't even recognize it, and she was still The joke is that she has lost her memory."
Seeing that there was only pure curiosity in her eyes, Xu Qingsong was a little dissatisfied and said to her: "I don't agree with your reaction. Logically speaking, I have forgotten my ex-girlfriend. As your current girlfriend, shouldn't you be happy?"
Liu Wangxue poked his side twice: "I don't agree with your reaction. How can a normal person have an ex-girlfriend? You forgot everything? If you don't have amnesia, you are too cold-blooded. If you are this kind of person, I will definitely look down on you." She said with a very disdainful expression.
Xu Qingsong couldn't help it, and quickly lowered his head to steal a scent from her dimples.
Liu Wangxue poked him twice more: "Answer the question."
Xu Qingsong glanced at Ye Yan's back in front of him and recalled, "She used to have curly hair and was born with it. Her wool curls were about shoulder length, and her figure was not that slim. I heard that her voice had also changed. It was not like this before. "
Ye Yan's previous woolen rolls were relatively dense and small, which was difficult to grow and difficult to take care of. She had a slightly chubby figure, but she actually looked chubby. Not too fat, just right for her height of 165cm, and her voice is also the sweet type that Xu Qingsong particularly likes.
Liu Wangxue also faced forward and looked at Ye Yan's back, thinking to herself, it's really no wonder that Xu Qingsong didn't recognize her immediately. It was because she had changed so much that it almost seemed like she had changed her appearance. .
Now Ye Yan has short, smart hair, a thin figure, and clear facial contours. The thick coat on her body, even with the belt tied up, looks a bit empty. Her voice also changed, sounding a little deeper.
Liu Wangxue guessed that there is probably a story.
Thinking about this, when the coffee shop arrived, Shi Wenjun opened the door and let Ye Yan go in first. He followed, but did not let go of his hand, waiting for Liu Wangxue and Xu Qingsong behind.
Liu Wangxue and Xu Qingsong took two quick steps to catch up and thanked Shi Wenjun.
Maybe it was a Monday, and there were not many people in the coffee shop. The four of them found a comfortable booth and sat down, ordering coffee and desserts.
The content of the chat was nothing special, just talking about their current jobs.
Ye Yan is still doing architectural design-related work. She is currently working in a very good large company in Beijing and is the design director of the department. Shi Wenjun studied finance and is currently working in venture capital. His position in the company is equivalent to Ye Yan.
Only then did Xu Qingsong remember to ask Ye Yan: "When did you come back?"
After graduating from graduate school, Ye Yan, like Xu Qingsong, got an offer from a company in Haishi. Then she received an order to design a courtyard for a wealthy man. After designing the courtyard, she got an invitation from a well-known design company in Country M through this rich man, and then switched jobs. The two also broke up after being in a long-distance relationship for a while.
Ye Yan smiled slightly, her eyes flickering between Liu Wangxue and Xu Qingsong. Regrettably, she found that Liu Wangxue did not pay attention to their conversation at all, but concentrated on eating the food in front of her. Small cakes. The phone she put aside lit up. Someone might have sent her a message, so she took another piece and put it in her mouth before picking up the phone to reply.
Ye Yan sighed slightly in her heart, and then said to Xu Qingsong: "Not long ago, I came back before New Year's Day. I also just switched jobs to the current company."
At this point, it seems that there is nothing to talk about After the chat, Xu Qingsong felt that there was nothing more to say, but if he didn't say anything, he might be indifferent, so he answered dryly: "It's good, close to home."
The same goes for Ye Yan Xu Qingsong, a native of Beijing, suddenly remembered that when she went to Haishi to work, she seemed to have mentioned that her family did not want her to go. Xu Qingsong remembered asking her what she should do. After all, it was a very good job opportunity, and it would be a pity to miss it. What did Ye Yan say at that time? It seemed like she was telling him not to worry, she had already taken care of everything. After that, the matter was never mentioned again between the two.
When Liu Wangxue finished replying to the message, she looked up and found that no one was speaking. She glanced at Xu Qingsong.
Xu Qingsong saw that she had only eaten a third of the small cake in front of her and only had a sip of the tea. He was worried that it would not suit her taste, so he asked her: "Do you want me to order something else for you?"
"It's okay, no need." Liu Wangxue shook his head. This jasmine oolong was brewed with tea bags, and she didn't like the taste very much. The same goes for small cakes. If she wasn't really hungry, one bite would be enough. Now that she has recovered, she doesn't really want to eat them anymore. But I felt that it was a waste, so I picked up the small fork again, thinking about finishing it, just a few bites, and smiled: "I miss what my brother-in-law made."
Xu Qingsong then stretched out his hand. He took the small fork in her hand and brought the small cake in front of him: "Give it to me, I happen to be a little hungry too." He wanted Liu Wangxue not to force it if he didn't want to eat it, but he thought about Wenjun inviting them just now If so, I feel that it is inappropriate to say so. Anyway, he didn't order dessert, so he took two or three sips of it and finished it. It was so sweet that he took a sip of coffee.
Ye Yan, who was opposite, was taking a sip from her coffee cup, taking in a panoramic view of the interaction between the two.
Shi Wenjun has been paying attention to Ye Yan and is quite sensitive to her emotional changes. He could tell that she felt bad now.
When Ye Yan introduced him just now, she said that he was her boyfriend, which really made Shi Wenjun happy, although he understood Ye Yan's motive, which was probably to "support the scene."
When Ye Yan proposed to sit together, Shi Wenjun disagreed in his heart, but he knew that Ye Yan had not let go yet, so he thought, anyway, Xu Qingsong already has a new girlfriend, so it would be okay to sit together.
Wenjun has also seen the videos and discussions on the Internet. It can be seen that Xu Qingsong and his current girlfriend are very affectionate, so he thought, sit down and chat, and let Ye Yan witness it with her own eyes. , maybe she can let it go completely? That's why he made an invitation to help.
But now it seems that this decision was wrong. Shi Wenjun regretted it because Ye Yan was unhappy. He was afraid that Ye Yan would have other thoughts because of this. He thought, forget it, it's better to say goodbye.
When Wenjun was about to speak, he saw Ye Yan put down the coffee cup and said to Xu Qingsong: "Can I have a few words with your girlfriend alone?"
Ye Yan's words As soon as the words came out, not only Shi Wenjun frowned, but Xu Qingsong also frowned. The former felt that what he was worried about was about to happen, while the latter couldn't figure out what she was going to do.
Ye Yan waited for two seconds without waiting for Xu Qingsong's answer, so she turned to Liu Wangxue and asked, "Can I talk to you alone?"
Liu Wangxue readily agreed.
Liu Wangxue was a little surprised when Ye Yan asked Xu Qingsong, and at the same time wanted to agree, but it was not her who asked, so she remained silent.
Haha, the ex-girlfriend is chatting with her current girlfriend alone. She is familiar with the plot. A dramatic conflict is about to begin!
When Liu Wangxue stood up with Ye Yan, she did not forget to give Xu Qingsong a comforting look, telling him not to worry. We are all civilized people and will never do anything frivolous in public. , disgraceful.
Xu Qingsong could only smile helplessly, and then only he and Shi Wenjun were left in the small booth, looking at each other.
Ye Yan chose a seat a little further away from here and sat down. Music was playing in the cafe. The two men could only see them talking. As for what was said, they could not hear clearly at all. .
Shi Wenjun was thinking in his heart at this time, it would be great if he could understand lip reading. Looking at Xu Qingsong in front of him again, there was no trace of worry on this man's face. He suddenly felt angry in his heart and spoke first.
Half an hour later, the two men in the small booth had absolutely nothing to talk about.
After a while, Liu Wangxue and Ye Yan came back, and Xu Qingsong moved inside to let Liu Wangxue sit.
On the other side, Shi Wenjun also moved in, but Ye Yan did not sit down. Instead, she directly said goodbye to Liu Wangxue, asked Shi Wenjun to help her get her bag, and led the person away without giving a single glance. Green pine.
Liu Wangxue watched the two of them for a while, then turned back and approached Xu Qingsong: "My face is not good."
Xu Qingsong admitted: "My mood is not very good either."< br>
Liu Wangxue asked: "What did Shi Wenjun tell you?"
Xu Qingsong held her hand and said, "I don't know where to start."
< br>
Liu Wangxue asked him to hand over her small bag: "How about we continue shopping first? Shopping relaxes the mood." There were more people in the cafe now, and it was not a place for a heart-to-heart talk. She thought, we will come back later. Let’s talk in the car or go home after dinner.
"Okay." Xu Qingsong called the waiter to pay the bill, then picked up the shopping bag at his feet, and went out holding hands with Liu Wangxue. After returning to the car after shopping, Xu Qingsong did not start the car immediately.
Liu Wangxue felt that he wanted to chat, so he took out his mobile phone and checked the time. He felt that it was quite sufficient, so he said, "Aren't you curious about Ye Yan?" Did you tell me something?"
Xu Qingsong took her hand and held it in his hand, smiling slightly: "If you want to say something, you will definitely tell me. No, you have already spoken. If you ask me, it should mean you have to say it, right?”
Liu Wangxue turned to face him and asked: "Do you still remember that when I asked you about your love history in Zhouzhuang, you said that when Ye Yan jumped to country M, you actually hoped that you could accompany her? "
Xu Qingsong nodded: "Remember."
When Ye Yan chose to change jobs, it was about a year after they worked in Haishi. At that time, Du Yunkai was still in Country M, working for a giant local game company. His development prospects were bright, so he asked Xu Qingsong if he wanted to come there too.
But Xu Qingsong doesn’t want to go abroad. He thinks it’s okay if he simply travels. For work and life, he still prefers to stay at home.
After Ye Yan found out about Du Yunkai’s invitation to Xu Qingsong, Ye Yan persuaded Xu Qingsong to go with him. On the one hand, he felt that going there could really improve his career, and on the other hand , they don’t need to be in a foreign country. There are many living examples around us. Long-distance relationships will end in breakup, let alone long-distance relationships?
Xu Qingsong did not consider going abroad at all. He felt that the reason why the long-distance relationship broke up was because the two people were not emotionally committed. He was still very confident in the relationship between him and Ye Yan. And Ye Yan herself said that it's not like she would never come back. At most, she would only work there for a year and a half, which is equivalent to gold plating.
Ye Yan and Xu Qingsong discussed this matter two or three times, but Xu Qingsong did not waver at all. He was about to be promoted at that time, and he had no plans to change jobs. .
Xu Qingsong remembered that he joked with Ye Yan that even if they went to country M, they would still be in a long-distance relationship, because the company Ye Yan was going to was in the east, and the company Du Yunkai was working in at the time was in the west. Country M is not a small territory, so it was not easy for the two of them to get together and meet each other after they went there.
After that, Ye Yan never tried to persuade him again. When the time came and all the procedures were completed, she left the country.
“I asked you another question at that time,” Liu Wangxue continued, “You said that you were the first to get the offer when you graduated from graduate school. Just when you thought you wanted to have a long-distance relationship, Ye Yan also I happened to get an offer from a design company in Haishi, one week apart—"
Xu Qingsong nodded.
Liu Wangxue continued: "I was just guessing at the time. I felt that if the offer was not a coincidence, it might be that Ye Yan gave up her original choice and went to Haishi with you, so she later went abroad. , she also hopes that you can accompany her."
Xu Qingsong remembered that he looked at the look on Liu Wangxue's face and said in surprise: "You guessed it right? This is what she just talked to you about. ?"
Liu Wangxue sighed softly and nodded: "You guessed it, but she talked to me about more than this."
This is what I learned at first. Xu Qingsong was extremely surprised by the truth, but at the same time he didn't understand it. He asked the same question as when he heard Liu Wangxue's guess in Zhouzhuang: "Why didn't she tell me directly?"
Liu Wangxue sighed again, not knowing whether she should feel sorry for Ye Yan or Xu Qingsong: "My dear, because she loves you."
Xu Qingsong didn't understand even more: "What?"
Liu Wangxue understands Xu Qingsong’s “no Understand”——
Xu Qingsong has a strong sense of trust in his partner and is always in a safe state in intimate relationships without doubt, anxiety or avoidance, so Liu Wangxue is with him Every moment is comfortable and comfortable.
Because of this, Liu Wangxue has always been straightforward when getting along with Xu Qingsong. He likes to play straight and never hides his emotions. Whether they are good or bad, Xu Qingsong will let them know. Qingsong knew that Xu Qingsong treated her the same way. After all, no matter how tacitly understood two people are, it is impossible for them to fully understand each other's thoughts on every big and small matter. They cannot rely on guessing, but can only rely on talking.
Another point is that Liu Wangxue and Xu Qingsong have the same view - there are many ways to express love, but in "love", it cannot be expressed through "sacrifice" - this is what Liu Wangxue regained A nascent epiphany.
The way of expressing love by sacrificing oneself has always been unacceptable to Xu Qingsong, whether it is the other party or himself who makes this "sacrifice".
Liu Wangxue feels that in an intimate relationship, Xu Qingsong should have such a set of logic. He has great trust in his other half, and at the same time, he also hopes that his other half will give him the same trust.
Just like the breakup of Xu Qingsong and his first love, Liu Wangxue felt that it was not entirely true that it was due to different outlooks on life, because Xu Qingsong said that he also said the same when he explained to his first love, that getting married and having children must be in his life. In his life plan, his first love has always been included in his future plans. He also wants to be like a family member and stay hand in hand with the first person until the end of his life.
It’s just that these plans would definitely not be realized at the time. The girl had her own anxieties. Faced with the so-called “waiting”, she lost her trust in Xu Qingsong. Xu Qingsong, on the other hand, is unwilling to enter marriage without preparation and then choose to sacrifice one of his family, studies, and career.
Maybe some people don't think this is a "sacrifice" and think it should be called "payment."
That’s what Ye Yan thinks.
As a graduate student, Xu Qingsong set his goals and submitted his resume early when he was looking for a job after graduation, and so did Ye Yan. She knew that Xu Qingsong had only one goal, which was the most famous domestic game manufacturer at the time, Lumen Technology, in Haishi.
But at that time, Ye Yan had not yet decided whether to go with Xu Qingsong, because the company she was interested in was in Beijing, so she submitted resumes to both parties.
The day after Xu Qingsong received the offer from Lumen Technology, Ye Yan also received an offer from a company in Beijing, but she was not as happy as she had imagined. If she chooses to stay in Beijing, it means parting ways with Xu Qingsong. It is impossible for Xu Qingsong to go to Haishi to have a little experience and then come back, which also means that they will start a long long-distance relationship.
Ye Yan had been thinking wildly all day long, as if she could see the ending of the breakup in the next second. Breaking up was impossible. She finally got to Xu Qingsong's side and couldn't give up just like that.
Having said this, Liu Wangxue asked Xu Qingsong: "Do you know why she said, 'It took a lot of effort to get to you'?"
Xu Qingsong was also about to ask this question, Recalling: "It's not easy? Isn't it quite logical? After we met and got along, we developed a good impression of each other. It was I who confessed first."
Liu Wangxue heard his last sentence as if he was emphasizing, She couldn't help but think he was cute, so she took his hand and shook it, murmuring: "Oh, it's just what you think, but it's no wonder, she didn't tell you anything, you definitely don't know."< br>
Xu Qingsong raised his hand and pinched her face: "Don't chant sutras. What's the secret? Tell me quickly."
Liu Wangxue threw a stone into his lake: "She has liked you since college, and it was because of you that she went to graduate school."
Xu Qingsong's feelings for Ye Yan have long since faded. All he was thinking about now was the person in front of him, so the stone thrown by Liu Wangxue didn't stir up much excitement in his heart. He didn't have many other emotions except being surprised again.
According to Ye Yan herself, she has been in love with Xu Qingsong since she was a freshman.
“Actually, it’s an encounter like a romance novel.” Ye Yan said to Liu Wangxue, “You don’t know, I used to have curly hair. I was born with woolen curls, and my hair was thick and hard. At first, I had curly hair. When I was in high school, the school didn’t allow long hair, even for boys and girls. People like me had to cut their hair short. Think about it, if you cut it off, your hair would be gone.”
< br>Ye Yan’s mother specially took her to the barber shop to have her hair softened, straightened and finally cut short. But her hair had its own thoughts. After the whole process, she was compliant on the spot, but she went home and slept for a while. It feels like being hit by an exploding mushroom.
“That hairstyle has been stuck on my head for six years,” Ye Yan said. “There are girls in adolescence who don’t love to be beautiful, and they are all sensitive. I was ridiculed for six years because of that hairstyle, and I felt low self-esteem for six years. ”
After graduating from high school, she finally had the freedom to dress up, but her curly hair was really difficult to take care of, and because of being laughed at in middle school, Ye Yan didn’t like it very much, but there was nothing she could do about it. You can't shave them all off, as they will still grow out even after shaving. So she grew her hair long and tied it up, which would make her look better.
“My wool curls are very small. Even if I want to grow my hair long, it grows very slowly. By the end of the first semester of my freshman year, it was only a small lump on the back of my head.” Ye Yan Thinking about it now, she still showed displeasure on her face, but the next second she thought of something and her smile brightened.
She continued: "Many people choose to go to the library to review before the final exam. I also went there at that time. A few boys sitting behind me were talking about me, saying that I have weird aesthetics and that I am a human being. He is just fat, and he perms his hair like this, which makes him look even fatter. Not only is he fat, but he is also old, old and ugly. Liu Wangxue was even angry: "They are just mean-mouthed, don't worry about it." , it’s a waste to pay attention to them.”
Liu Wangxue remembered that at that time, woolen curls, tinfoil perm, and instant noodle hair were also popular. Fashion was not just about whatever suddenly became popular. There are still people doing these hairstyles, including many celebrities.
“I don’t care on the surface,” Ye Yan smiled, “but I feel very uncomfortable in my heart.” After a pause, she continued: “I don’t want to pay attention to them. I plan to pack up my books and find another room. I wanted to go to the classroom, but a boy sitting on my left spoke for me.”
This person was Xu Qingsong. He turned around and lectured them, saying that this was a library and asked them to do so. Quiet. Those few people knew they were in the wrong, so they kept silent.
Ye Yan didn’t leave, and she struggled for a while. She wrote “Thank you” on the scrap paper and pushed it to Xu Qingsong’s hand. Xu Qingsong took a look at it and then said back to her: [You’re welcome. . In addition, beauty cannot be defined by narrow ideas]
