Chapter 94 Cui Jing's Hat
The two of them went to the supermarket and had a lot of time left. Their flight tickets were rescheduled to the evening, so they had the whole day to do the final work. Cui Jing bought some small snacks to take with her on the way, including small sausages and seafood such as scallops and shrimp balls.
"What do you want to eat? Don't take mine on the way."
Xue Yijie took a small cake and pinched it twice, her eyes glued to Cui Jing. She was dressed as usual today, and it was obvious that she was in the right style. Very beautiful, very beautiful, very beautiful.
"Cui Jing."
"I asked you what you wanted."
"I really like you."
"You." Cui Jing stopped selecting the items and said, "Why are you suddenly saying this?"
"You're wearing something cute today."
"Because of this pink?" Cui Jing saw a little pink element on the coat.
Xue Yijie smiled but said nothing.
A few days ago, he felt as if he was entering another endless escape and elopement with her, which made him think of the unknown and confusing road before his rebirth, the huge ship, the boundless sea and the moon on the sea.
His life was poor. Apart from studying abroad, he had not been to more places, nor had he planned to jump out of his living circle to travel or sketch in more distant places. As a painter, he should have been closer to nature and see more scenery, but the fact was: his life seemed to be framed by himself within a certain range.
Just like he is hated by many women as a man, but treated well by men.
There is some power in the dark.
During the years he spent abroad, apart from reading and thinking about love, he locked himself in the studio and practiced day after day.
This is strange.
His life might have continued to be closed off like this. Zhai Yang acted as the bloody supplement in his life. It was her sudden appearance that broke the closedness of his life. Only then did he go out to "have some fun" and his heart suddenly became wild.
They went to many places together and saw many landscapes. Different environments breed different people's personalities and thoughts. His heart, which was sensitive to emotions, seemed to have more feelings about the formation of personality.
In special cases, she slept on the bed and he on the sofa in the living room. She slept on the bed in the hotel and he curled up at the foot of the bed. She was so vigilant and amazingly... trustful of him. In his memories, he thought: Can't we be together even after this?
Xue Yijie has incomplete memories of his life before his rebirth, but the memories he has are enough for him to piece together some of the truth.
Some minor deception.
For example, he lied to her in a past life about his fear of "puppies," and he always looked weak in front of her. She began to sympathize with a man who might have PTSD after being let out of his cage, and she would even try to help desensitize him.
But, Cui Jing.
Sympathy for a man is the beginning of love.
"Quartet" says: The first step of seduction is to abandon human nature. Basically, there are three routines: turning into a cat, turning into a tiger, and turning into a dog drenched by the rain.
He is really extremely sensitive to emotions.
He was so sensitive that he could feel Cui Jing walking through his "room" several times. She could stay and leave at any time. The only thing he could grasp was the hidden sympathy under her cold skin, like a trace of blood mixed in the sea. He was a shark with a keen sense of smell.
For example, he deceived himself.
They deceived themselves into thinking they were lovers before their rebirth, so that everything could naturally return to normal.
no.
They were not lovers in their previous life.
She rejected his confession, they were found, she did not divorce, she has always been Zhai Yang's wife. What is the ending?
Is there no ending for him and her?
He couldn't remember the ending. He thought about it day and night these days. What he thought about during the day, he dreamed about at night. The things he dreamed about were all kinds of strange.
One time he turned into a monster and bit off Zhai Yang's head;
There was his wedding with Cui Jing, where the priest read the wedding words on the platform and asked the couple to exchange rings;
He had been fishing at the lake, the lake before his rebirth, and her hat was blown into the lake by the wind, so he kept fishing out hats from the lake. On each hat was a strange name engraved.
This hat, no.
That hat, isn't it.
None of them.
He wanted to find the hat with the words "Cui Jing" engraved on it.
He woke up from the dream several times, and when he woke up he gained a joyful reality: they were now a couple, and would get married in the future and spend the rest of their lives together.
They will always be together.
Always.
A passerby stopped because she heard one of the two well-matched couples ask a question that surprised her:
"Cui Jing, will you abandon me?"
What? What abandonment or not? These two people didn't look like they were in any emotional crisis. The passerby wanted to hear how the person concerned would respond, so he picked up some dried tofu and put it in a bag, moving towards them while putting it there, and said confidently that the supermarket was so big and it wasn't theirs.
"I'll leave you here for a few minutes now." The woman said, "I forgot the jelly I just filled. Wait for me."
The woman turned back, and the shopping guide stared at the man, who awkwardly packed up the cake he had been destroying.
What is this? It turns out to be a sweet little game between young lovers. The passerby thought. After a second, she suddenly felt: Master, this woman is definitely a master. The question she didn't want to answer was cleverly avoided.
Xue Yijie put the pinched bread on the scale with the price tag on it. Thinking of her reaction just now, she was still so... heartless in some sense.
Cui Jing came back carrying a bag of mixed jelly. She walked very fast in her flat shoes, and her steps were like the wind. After putting prices on the items in her hands one by one, the two of them walked towards the cashier counter.
While waiting in line, Cui Jing studied the red rope on Xue Yijie's wrist.
Xue Yijie suddenly felt a kiss on his finger. It was not an illusion. He turned his head and saw Cui Jing pinching his bent finger bones and said with a smile:
"Why is the puppy unhappy?"
She spoke in a very low voice, and the word "puppy" was vague, and one would miss it if one did not listen carefully. But Xue Yijie was very familiar with it. The word, which had been called several times in the bed with different tones, and the "puppy" in his memory before his rebirth, mixed together and made his brain dizzy.
He said hesitantly: "I'm not unhappy."
"Okay, you're not unhappy, I'm the one who thinks you're unhappy." Cui Jing kissed his hand again, "I'll go see Wang Xiaoming later and take you to see him, you go home and take care of your luggage."
Cui Jing made an appointment with Wang Xiaoming who was practicing golf. The coffee shop was full of veteran actors. Wang Xiaoming pushed the door open and saw Xue Yijie, as if he had a premonition. Cui Jing asked Xue Yijie to go to the studio to bring the packed suitcase to her house, and then go directly from her house to the airport.
As soon as Xue Yijie left, Wang Xiaoming couldn't hold back and asked in surprise, "Your boyfriend!"
"Yes."
"Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god!" Wang Xiaoming seemed to have lost his soul, calculating the time since her divorce, "When did you date...such a handsome man?"
Cui Jing coughed.
"Okay, now I know if that guy is reliable. He's not a liar, right? We even went on a trip together, and you just bought the house, and you decorated it so beautifully. You must be willing to do that." Wang Xiaoming said sourly.
"Xiao Xue is a nice person." Cui Jing added, "The house is for living in. You can't tie me down. In fact, after traveling, I will feel more at home if I have a house waiting for me."
"Are you serious or...let's talk first."
"Let's talk seriously first." Cui Jing pushed out a flat sealed document, "I have something to trouble you. If Qin Sheng comes back halfway, please give this to her for me."
Wang Xiaoming knew that Qin Sheng was her best friend. She often saw the name Qin Sheng in her chats with Cui Jing. In fact, she had only seen Qin Sheng's photo. "Okay, how long will you be there?"
"Maybe a few months."
"How many months?" Even though Wang Xiaoming was slow, he sensed something was wrong. "Then the Chinese New Year is coming soon. Will you...come back for the Chinese New Year?"
"talk later."
Cui Jing took a last look at Qin Sheng’s reply. The time was also from before. What was she busy with all day?
[Teacher Qin]: Have fun and keep your phone open.
Cui Jing left her another message: I left the key for you, it is in Wang Xiaoming's hand.
If she wasn't here, if she suddenly returned to Kyoto and wanted to find a place to stay, she would still feel more comfortable at home. But she had so many friends that they could stay overnight wherever she went, so they might not come.
Besides, everyone should come back for the New Year, but she is the only one who is going out.
Except for the cold war last year, Qin Sheng came to see Cui Jing every New Year, and Cui Jing would go home every year. Regarding family issues, the original owner's memories were like a piece of glass rolled twice in honey syrup. The sweet taste on the tip of the tongue was paid for with blood.
The original owner got involved in the family gossip, and Qin Sheng brought a few high school friends, and they went downstairs like a group of street urchins, calling her to go set off fireworks with them.
Cui Jing suddenly became less sure about not coming back.
