Incurable Pain - Chapter 57
In the garden restaurant, Bai Xunyin and Mu Anping, who hadn’t seen each other for a long time, looked at each other and were a little surprised.
What is the probability of meeting an acquaintance every time on a blind date? How do you feel?
Others don’t know, but it is 100% probability to Bai Xun Yin. It feels… very funny.
A total of two blind dates were arranged by mistake, but one was an ex-boyfriend and the other was an old acquaintance.
“Yin, Yinyin?” Mu Anping estimated that his parents had forcibly arranged to meet with people. He saw Bai Xunyin on his indifferent face. After a clear and clear astonishment, he couldn’t help feeling a little excited, and even stood still. I stood up: “It’s been a long time, when did you return to Lin Lan?”
“Indeed, it’s been a long time.” At this point, Bai Xunyin had to sit down and recounted the past with Mu Anping with a smile: “I just came back soon, how about you?”
After graduating from the college entrance examination, Mu Anping once came to her and said that he was going to go abroad, but at that time he was in a state of ‘horse and chaos’, so naturally he did not see him.
“I came back half a year ago.” Mu Anping is a lot more mature than he was six years ago, the greenness of his face has faded a lot, and his black hair is combed back, making his facial features more handsome and straight. He looked at Bai Xunyin. The soft brown eyes instantly felt back to when he was a teenager-in countless flashback memories, there are such beautiful eyes as Bai Xunyin.
As if all the senses have been brought back to the past, Mu Anping’s eyes were unconsciously nostalgic, and he looked at Bai Xunyin and muttered: “Yinyin, you are still… so beautiful.”
Bai Xunyin seemed to have never expected Mu Anping to say such blunt words. After a slight daze, he only curled the corners of his lips together, admiring the listener and not distracted: “Thank you.”
“Yinyin, are you working in the research institute now?” Mu Anping asked hesitantly, “Is the middleman who introduced me…”
“Well, yes.” Bai Xunyin nodded, and the steel fork casually ate the salad on the table: “It’s a job introduced by my teacher.”
She hasn’t eaten when she wakes up in the morning, so she is so hungry.
Mu Anping stared at Bai Xunyin on the opposite side unblinking, watching her down to eat, her cheeks bulging, the expression in her eyes was unconsciously soft, and she couldn’t stop smiling.
He was forced to come over and have a blind date, and he didn’t have any ‘can do’ in his heart, basically he just came over to deal with the matter.
Introducing the endless stream of praise from the population of ‘high-achieved doctoral students’, ‘workers of scientific research institutes’, ‘being very beautiful’, etc. Mu Anping didn’t take it seriously.
But he didn’t expect that the blind date would be Bai Xunyin.
“Yinyin, we have not seen each other in six years.” Staring at the woman whose face was still young and fresh, and seemed to be no different from the woman in high school, Mu Anping raised a bitter smile on the corners of his lips, if nothing happened. With emotion: “Six years…we have known each other for almost 20 years.”
Twenty years.
Bai Xunyin paused with the fork in his hand, and a trace of obscure complexity passed through his raised eyes.
Indeed, they have known each other for 20 years, and they can almost eat and sleep together before they graduate from junior high school.
Even if a lot of unpleasant things happened later, Bai Xunyin can still be himself in front of him, without being rigid and restrained in front of someone he doesn’t know.
There cannot be more than twenty years in life, but…what about this?
Bai Xunyin narrowed his eyes and made a faint ‘um’.
“I went to England after graduating from high school. There I often dreamed of Lin Lan and…you.” Mu Anping smiled bitterly: “I dreamt that we were still in our early ten years old, you, me, Amo, three Individuals, no matter where they go, they are together, in and out together…”
“Mu Anping.” Bai Xunyin was already full, she put down her fork, her clear eyes fixedly looked at the man who “remembered the past”, almost nowhere to hide the latter: “What do you want to say?”
She likes to go straight and hates to play emotional cards in a roundabout way.
Mu Anping’s throat choked, and he looked at the expressionless girl in front of him in a little surprise. Only then did he realize that…
Compared to the time when she met again in high school, Bai Xunyin seemed to have changed a little bit.
Compared to the little girl who still had a touch of tenderness in the indifference before, she seemed to be more invincible now.
But yes, six years have passed, who can stay the same.
“I want to say… I’m single, and so are you.” Mu Anping smiled, his eyes soft and watery against the scented candlelight atmosphere, fixedly looking at Bai Xunyin: “Fate makes us return to Lin Lan. The first time I met was a blind date, so it’s better to try.”
He could never forget the little girl who was willing to follow him and called him “Brother Anping”, dreaming back at midnight, her heart seemed to be gripped by a pair of invisible hands.
Mu Anping knew that he had made a mistake, but he was willing to pay for his mistake and then find the little girl back.
A meal was not very happy. After hearing Mu Anping’s words like confession, Bai Xunyin felt like a rock in his heart.
Constantly sinking.
Needless to say, of course she simply rejected Mu Anping’s offer to’try’.
No matter whether it was before or before, I had never had any emotions similar to ‘love’ to him, so how could I agree to try with him?
But Bai Xunyin just didn’t expect that Mu Anping would actually want to try with her.
It’s ridiculous to say that I haven’t been in a relationship without a girlfriend for so many years because the person I like is actually me.
On the way back, Bai Xunyin’s face was cold, but his eyes couldn’t help but a ridiculous arc.
Do these boys now like to hurt girls in the name of ‘like’? Then ridiculously thought that as long as a few sweet words, a few soft words, you will be forgiven?
This is the case for Yu Luoyin, and the same is true for Mu Anping.
The difference is that she actually has more ‘love points’ with Mu Anping.
As he said, they have known each other for twenty years.
From the memory of babbling, Bai Xunyin felt that there was a character like Mu Anping in his life.
Mu Anping’s father, Mu Shi’an, is Bai Hongsheng’s business partner and a close-minded friend who talks about everything. Both families even live in the same yard, and the neighbors have close contacts.
Under the influence of this atmosphere, the relationship between Bai Xunyin and Mu Anping is naturally very good.
Before the age of fifteen, she always regarded Mu Anping as an unrelated brother.
Childhood sweethearts, say nothing.
But “no blood relationship” means “no blood relationship”. Before the disaster, the husband and wife are the same forest birds, let alone friends?
When the Bai family’s capital chain broke and went bankrupt, people came to knock on the door every day, and the sound of beating, looting and looting was endless, which made people irritable and scared.
Bai Xunyin remembered that Mu Anping had been estranged from her since then.
It’s just that she was so sensitive and vulnerable to the surrounding environment, she didn’t notice Mu Anping’s indifference at that time, and she still sought refuge ‘shamelessly’.
Bai Xunyin remembered that she stayed at home that day, and the sky was getting dark. The debt collector suddenly came to the door and smashed the thick door of the Bai family’s house with gongs and drums, and the filthy language kept burrowing into her ears and her mind in.
She held the pen with trembling fingers, threw it away after a while and crawled out of the window.
The door would soon be smashed open, but Bai Xunyin was very scared.
She can’t stay at home alone, she’s dying of fear.
The fifteen-year-old girl was slender and thin. She ran out wearing only a pair of slippers. She lowered her body as much as possible and ran silently to Mu Anping’s house next door and rang the doorbell.
Soon I heard Mu Anping’s response: “Who?”
At that time, the boy’s clear voice was like shining holy light, Bai Xunyin choked his throat, and whispered, “Brother Anping, it’s me.”
Mu Anping’s voice was a bit stunned: “Yinyin?”
“Can you let me in for a while?” Bai Xunyin’s cold voice was blown away by the cold wind, not knowing whether it was because of the cold or fear, and was a little trembling: “Those people are knocking on the door again, I’m afraid…”
Bai Hongsheng and Ji Huiying didn’t know when they could go home, she really didn’t dare to stay alone.
But after ten years of getting along, the “Brother Anping,” who had always been friends, became a quail behind a door.
“Hug, sorry.” Mu Anping’s voice was a bit difficult: “Yinyin, my mother said, if I help you, those people should make trouble for our house, they should knock on our door.”
Bai Xunyin’s heart squeezed for an instant, and he gave a severe pain.
“Brother Anping, I won’t.” But the frail little girl didn’t understand people’s hearts at that time, and still begged: “They don’t know that I’m hiding in your house.”
But no matter how he knocked, Mu Anping did not open the door.
That day was also the last softness that Bai Xunyin showed in front of her “childhood brother”.
Later, because Mu Anping’s family had a close relationship with the Bai family, after paying off part of his debts, he was still afraid of getting into trouble, so he moved his family to the next province.
Later… it was when Mu Anping came back to meet in the third year of high school, and then now.
In fact, it was not a big deal. Mu Anping was only one year older than her. At that time, he was only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy.
It’s nothing more than a strong parent and a weak boy.
But Bai Xunyin just couldn’t forget the feeling of ‘helpless’ at the beginning.
If it is too easy to believe and rely on a person, it is easy to be cruelly broken to the ground by a heart, and easily disappointed.
Therefore, after Bai Xunyin entered high school, he almost had a fear of ‘respect and stay away’ for boys. Not to mention that all of this was given by Mu Anping, but it also had something to do with him.
Except… Except Yu Luoyin.
As he walked home, many previous clips flashed back in his mind like a horse lantern, and finally thought of such a ‘scourge’ thing like Yu Luoyin, Bai Xunyin sighed slightly.
Mu Anping first, then Yu Luoyin, was really a headache.
The fleeting years are unfavorable, and I went home into the building and found that the elevator was broken.
In the lobby on the first floor, there were a lot of people waiting for maintenance, all filled with righteous indignation and gloomy faces-no way, nowadays, the people living in the upper floors of the metropolis, without elevators, are basically the same as losing their lives.
Fortunately, their floors are not high.
Bai Xunyin still doesn’t like noise and crowds. She looked at the misty first floor with frowning frowning, and simply walked to the safe passage.
He walked slowly to the thirteenth floor, and when he reached the safe passage on his own floor, Bai Xunyin found that an ‘uninvited guest’ had arrived.
Yu Luoyin was sitting on the highest step of the safe passage with two cigarette butts piled up beside him. The temperature of the safe passage was very low in the hot summer. The man didn’t know if it was because of the long stay.
Until he heard the sound of ‘kick and step’ upstairs, he seemed to automatically make up for the appearance of a girl walking upstairs panting as she stepped on white canvas shoes.
Wait a long time… wait a long time.
Yu Luoyin raised his eyes, looked at Bai Xunyin condescendingly, looked at the woman with a layer of crimson ivory white skin, and looked at her somewhat surprised eyes.
He ridiculed his lips.
Bai Xunyin was indeed surprised to see Yu Luoyin at his door.
One is because today is not said to be Lu Ye’s bachelor party, and the other is… how does he know where he lives?
Subconsciously, the woman frowned slightly: “Are you here to find me?”
“Otherwise.” Yu Luoyin stood up and walked slowly down the stairs to her. He seemed to be joking, but there was no smile in his eyes: “Shall I walk in your corridor?”
Seeing Yu Luoyin condescending and approaching step by step, Bai Xunyin felt uneasy inexplicably, and she unconsciously stepped back.
Until the thin back leaned against the cold wall.
And Yu Luoyin had already walked over. The black shadow covered Bai Xunyin’s petite body. The man leaned over slightly and smiled softly in her ear: “Do you think this scene is familiar?”
Bai Xunyin was startled.
“Does it look like…” Yu Luoyin’s big hand did not know when her chin was clasped, his slender fingertips gently rubbed, and the cold touch made Bai Xunyin feel that his scalp was numb, and the mandible was unconsciously rising. A layer of tiny goose bumps.
Then she heard the man murmur: “Does it look like the safe passage we used to date?”
Going around, he is still nostalgic, like a lunatic.
Yu Luoyin didn’t know how he had become so hopeless.
But from the moment I saw Bai Xunyin and her childhood sweetheart were dating, the jealousy disappeared, and a certain ‘string’ in my mind seemed to be broken.
“Why go on a blind date?” The man rubbed the girl’s soft earlobe coldly with his fingers, and smiled: “I said I want to chase you, do you think I’m talking about it?”
