Chapter 3 Chapter3 Pan Yue

In June, the air is filled with the smell of summer. The wind in the morning or evening is warm, and it blows on the skin like being kissed by a lover. Qiao Mu and I began to learn to forget some things in the rare and comfortable climate, some unpleasant things that bothered us. We often walk side by side on the secluded tree-lined road, unambiguously, feeling like standing on the clouds and dancing Mambo, from one flower to another, dancing softly and keeping a distance, without too many words, just look The blue sky around is enough. Qiao Mu began to circle around the group of people looking for happiness with a smile on his face. Apart from the inherent deepness of those eyes, there was even a little bit of purity that shared the same goals with me.

He has become the way I like it, even though I never show the slightest approval in front of him, it's like forgetting the bar, and only I can see the change in the meantime. Occasionally, on the airwaves, I will also discuss the Forgotten Bar with my listeners. I listened to Qiao Mu's advice, screened those who were in urgent need of help, and realized that I did, as Qiao Mu said, have some flaws inherent in women, such as tenderness and blind obedience.So, I began to recommend some friends to go to the Forget Bar and throw those intractable diseases to Qiao Mu. As a result, they were not only lucky enough to taste the taste of SO LONG, but also for free.

Of course, this is limited to the "destined people" entrusted by me to come here for fame. In this way, Qiao Mu and I established an incredible tacit understanding, more precisely, it should be trust. I no longer care about forgetting the bar's operating principle that money comes first, but I see Qiao Mu as an expert who is engaged in charitable deeds like me, and he also begins to believe that I am redoubled efforts to forget the past. This kind of life lasted for a long time, until a woman named Pan Yue found me suddenly. It was a fine Wednesday, and night fell very late. Most people in the city gathered outside their houses after eating, drinking tea and chatting, enjoying the rare fine weather.

After I finished the program, it was already late at night when I came out of the broadcasting building. People left in twos and threes, and the main road gradually returned to its former cleanliness.Obviously, I missed enjoying the fun of midsummer in advance, but I was in a good mood. That day was the happiest live broadcast in recent times, and there were a lot of anecdotes worth reminiscing along the way. When I reached the third intersection, I vaguely noticed that there was a strange woman who had been following me secretly. She was very similar to the one who was wandering around the door when I left the building. At that time, she turned a blind eye to me. I thought she was waiting for someone else, but in a blink of an eye, she followed me so far away sneakily.

I didn't panic, this kind of thing happens often, she is either a boring listener who wants to see my true face, or she is a lonely person who can't get in the phone and is eager to talk to me, I don't want her to know about me Therefore, he stopped in front of a cafe along the street, turned around and shouted to her: "Enough, miss, you are not tired, I am very tired, there is a cafe here, do you want to go in and sit down?" ?” She really stopped, and hid under a plane tree across the road as if in a dilemma. I was a little impatient and took a few steps forward. Just as I was about to see her features clearly, a sense of déjà vu gloom suddenly seized me, and I was glued to the sidewalk like a stone statue.

It was a slender and charming shadow naked in the moonlight. The milky white high heels lined those smooth ankles extravagantly, a light pink silk scarf swayed around her waist, a pair of pink and slender hands alternately in front of her lower abdomen, the one holding the Kun bag, and a ring finger dangling Eye-catching diamonds. This diamond ring is very familiar... the silk scarf, bag, and high heels are also very familiar, especially the pair of ankles. How many women can have such ankles? Could it be her? ! Those two words, just, just flashed by, made all my bones tremble at the same time.

At this moment, she walked slowly around the shade of the tree and came to me. She just took a few steps forward. I finally saw her face clearly. At that moment, I felt that there was another picture in front of me: A dead soul that once belonged to me stood up from the grave, and, with a smile, was walking towards me step by step... I suddenly woke up!In the blink of an eye, he turned into a deer that went astray, desperately running wildly... "Miss! Miss An! I didn't mean to, please don't run away!" She kept shouting, and I kept running away. However, it will soon fail, my legs are so sore that I can trip me over even a small stone.

Miss An?She calls me Miss An? I had to stop to catch my breath, and the high heels behind me stumbled and quickly caught up with my steps. She was panting too, and the frequency of her being far and near made my scalp numb with nervousness. "Yes, sorry for scaring you." I couldn't help being stunned, the woman's voice was very strange, it didn't look like her. "Who the hell are you? Why are you following me?" I turned around suddenly, but still didn't dare to approach her half a step. She straightened her breathing, straightened up and walked in front of me. This time, I could see her face more clearly.

I suddenly couldn't tell if the woman in front of me was the person I knew. There was something about her that I wasn't familiar with, a little bit of humility, most of it was dazed, and the rest was timid. I am completely confused. "My surname is Pan, please call me Xiao Pan." She stopped dodging and said politely. "I'm from another place. I haven't been here for a few days. I came here specially to find you." Anger rushed to my temples when I confirmed that she wasn't who I thought she was. "Since you know who I am and where I work, you can write to me, or call me at work, or even stop me at the gate half an hour ago. Among so many methods, which one did you choose? The worst kind."

"I... didn't mean it, I'm afraid it's too presumptuous, and you won't see me." She was a little aggrieved, and her tone became more cowardly. She was by no means who I remembered. Although, they look almost identical. "Miss Pan, you didn't come all the way here just to scare me, did you? What exactly are you trying to do?" Her lips quivered anxiously. "I want to ask you something important, no, no, I was wrong, it may not be important to you, but to me..." "Please stop beating around the bush, okay?" "I want to ask you about someone."

"who?" "Ruan Yuan." The blood stagnant in my forehead ran violently again, and the roots of my ears were buzzing, as if I had been struck by lightning. How should I answer? Did you tell her that the woman you want to know is standing in front of me right now? "Sorry, I don't know this person." After leaving this sentence, I turned around and left. I don't want to know what is the relationship between this woman and Ruan Yuan, and I don't want to stand here with her until dawn. "Miss An, please wait!" She came after me again and stopped me. "Look at this, take a closer look!" She couldn't wait to take a photo out of her pocket. "If you don't know her, how can you take a picture with her?" I feel dizzy. An emotion that frightened me even more than meeting this woman quickly enveloped my whole body. "Let's find a place and have a good talk, I beg you, shall we?" She clasped her hands together, holding the photo in her palm, and begged. My feet were so numb that I was almost paralyzed. It seemed that there was no other solution except to find a place to sit down first, so ten minutes later, this woman who called herself Miss Pan and I returned to the starting point of the race—the dark street cafe. When we found a suitable seat and sat down, the wall clock on the counter just pointed to one o'clock in the morning. I can't sleep, especially after seeing that photo.I think that even if I was lucky enough to escape her obstruction just now, I am still lying on the bed tossing and turning. "You and this Ruan Xian look alike." I pointed to the photo on the table, carefully probing, "Are you twin sisters?" She shook her head, seemingly regretting it. "She was my husband's ex-wife." "Ex-wife? They...divorced?" "No." "She died, six years ago." died? ! ...she died? My mind was lost. "It was an accident. When the plane was about to land, it collided with another plane on the runway." "You mean, the one that flew from city S to city A in the spring six years ago?" "Yeah, so you know it too!" Finally it was her turn to be surprised, and during the two hours in between, I was the one who was surprised. "My parents also died in that accident." I picked up the glass, trying to find a way to settle myself down. City S?What did she come to S city for?Come to me?Could it be... She always knew I was here? "No wonder you rejected me, Ruan Yuan touched your sadness." The coffee here is very bad, like expired kudingcha, which made my mouth dry and I couldn't stay any longer. This conversation must end as soon as possible, I couldn't help telling myself. "Miss Pan, please listen to me carefully now. The reason why I reject you is not because you remind me of my parents, but because I don't know Ruan Xian at all." "But this photo..." "I don't care where this photo came from, and I don't know how I got into this photo. In short, I can be sure that I have never seen the woman in the photo. Otherwise, the first time I saw you I mistook you for her long ago." "You didn't?" she asked back. My tongue immediately stiffened. "Just now, when you invited me into the cafe, you thought I was some curious audience. Then, you saw me, but ran away. If I really scared you, you should have run away. Why bother?" Wait until you see me clearly before slipping away? That's why I chased after you, because your reaction convinced me that I must have reminded you of something, and it must have something to do with Ruan Yuan, just like you saw it with your own eyes Yes, I do look exactly like the woman who once had my husband. I think you understand how I feel in my heart. Not only do you understand, but you also know the reason. Whether it is good or bad, please tell me the truth .” I stopped talking, stood up directly, took out my wallet, grabbed a few banknotes randomly, and threw them on the table without looking at them. "Whether you believe it or not, I'll just say a word and have no comment!" She was really frightened by me, and buried her chin in her neck resentfully. After walking a few steps, I suddenly thought of something, turned back and asked: "What's your name?" "Pan Yue, Pan of Three Points of Water, Moon of the Moon." "From where?" "City A." "Okay, Miss Pan Yue, let me warn you for the last time, don't harass me with your ghost photos again, I don't know you or Ruan Yuan, if there is another time, I will call the police." , I walked out of the cafe, hailed a taxi, and completely ran away from the woman named Pan Yue, or Ruan Yuan. Ann... Someone called me. How are you, Ann? ... My head hurts, like tens of thousands of steel knives cutting me in all directions. who are you? I tried to see clearly the person standing in front of me... However, his vision was blocked by something, and his eyes were blurred. it's me. She gently raised her hand, stroking the ends of my hair hanging on my chest, the broken nails slipped across my neck accidentally, leaving a faint scratch. You don't recognize me anymore? ...they grow so fast, black and bright... She took my hand and gently placed it on top of her head. You know, I like your hair the most... My palms began to sweat, and they drooped on the edge of her ragged hair like dead branches and leaves, trembling nervously, and then passed her ears feebly. I felt a sticky string in my hand, and when I looked down, it was her hair. Falling into my palm together with the hair, there is also a bloody scalp... I screamed, the sound pierced my eardrums, and suddenly, I couldn't hear anything. Her bright and sexy lips were still squirming. The voice appeared again, and she repeated tirelessly: You know, I like your hair the most, I like your hair the most, I like your hair the most, I like your hair the most, I like your hair the most... ... ... ... "have you eaten?" "It's not even noon yet, why did you wake up so early today?" "I wanted to continue to sleep, but accidentally filled my stomach with water, and my stomach was very bloated." "What? Something on your mind?" "It's nothing, I was followed by an inexplicable woman last night, and I had a nightmare for no reason this morning. Tell me, why don't I have a peaceful day to live?" Qiao Mu snickered on the other end, not knowing whether it was approval or ridicule. "The store is very busy now, you can eat something casually first, and come to the bar for tea in the afternoon, and I will ask MAY to cook something delicious for you." "No, unless you make PIZZA yourself." He froze in surprise. This is indeed the first time I have acted like a baby to him presumptuously. "Okay, I'll do it." Unexpectedly, overnight, I turned into such a delicate and weak woman who urgently needs protection. At around three o'clock in the afternoon, I came to the bar as scheduled. Qiao Mu walked around wearing a tall chef's hat, making the guests laugh. His attentive eyes were so kind, which made me feel relieved and safe. "You look tired." Qiao Mu watched me eat intently, and after a while, he said, "Is it because of what happened last night? Who is following you? The audience?" I shake my head. "A lunatic who deliberately played tricks on you?" I shook my head again. "Could it be someone from here?" His complexion changed. I am bored. "No, not at all, don't ask any more." "What if she molests you again in the future?" "I don't think so. Last night, I warned her severely." "Hard to say." Qiao Mu looked into my eyes worriedly. At this time, MAY came over. "Boss, a guest wants to see you." "Today's SO LONG is sold out, tell him to come back another day." "She doesn't drink, she just wants to see you. I asked her what's the matter, but she refused to say." "Oh? Bring her here." MAY looked suspiciously at me, not very happy. "I think I'd better go, so as not to hinder you from receiving distinguished guests." I stood up sourly, and Qiao Mu grabbed my wrist nimbly. His strength is great enough to lock me firmly in my seat. "You are the only guest to me." Just as he was talking, MAY came back, followed by the guest. I turned my head curiously. "Miss An?..." Qiao Mu was a little frightened when he saw my suddenly pale face.He looked at the guest in front of him with guarded eyes. "You, don't get me wrong. This time is purely a coincidence. I'm not here to find you. I am. I'm here to find him." She pointed at Qiao Mu in a panic, lest I immediately grab the phone and call 110. "Miss Pan, we are really destined." A sense of helplessness completely overwhelmed me. "Sorry, I didn't expect you to be here." She was very embarrassed, I really hoped that she would run away immediately, but there was also helplessness on her face, of course it was towards Qiao Mu. "You know each other?" Qiao Mu looked at Pan Yue and me in puzzlement. "It's equal to not knowing, it's equal to not knowing!" Pan Yue rushed to answer and gave me a guilty look. "This is Miss Pan, and this is our boss, Mr. Qiao." MAY brought a chair and politely greeted her to sit down. "What would you like to drink?" "Is there any coffee?" "Have." "Can I have a glass of water first?" "no problem." "An Ling and I will have a drink too." Qiao Mu ordered. Before the drinks were served, none of the three seemed to want to speak rashly. Qiao Mu lit a cigarillo, as if thinking about this weird situation. When the coffee came, Pan Yue rinsed his mouth with water to taste the coffee better. I noticed that this series of actions surprised Qiao Mu. Unexpectedly, their habits of drinking coffee are surprisingly similar. "Miss Pan, what can I do?" At this time, she had already focused all her attention on Qiao Mu alone, as if she completely ignored me. "I want to ask you about someone." "who?" Only then did Pan Yue glance at me subconsciously. "A woman named Ruan Yuan. Do you have any impression?" "Ruan Xian?..." Qiao Mu frowned in embarrassment. She quickly took out a piece of paper and a pen, wrote down those two words, and presented them to Qiao Mu. Qiao Mu thought about it seriously, then shook his head apologetically. "I can't remember the name." She looked anxiously at me, as if asking for my opinion. I stared at her dumbly, I didn't want to nod, but I couldn't shake my head. Sure enough, she spread out the group photo and asked Qiao Mu to carefully identify it. Compared with last night, there was an extra torn note like an old bill. Qiao Mu was stunned for a moment. Obviously, it wasn't Ruan Xian who he recognized at a glance, but me who shouldn't appear in the photo at all. "What's going on? Why are you in this picture." "have no idea." I answered lightly. Qiao Mu's eyes searched between my indifferent eyebrows for about 30 seconds, so I knew that he had judged that this matter was not innocent, but he couldn't figure out why I was lying. "What is this?" Qiao Mu picked up another piece of evidence. "The bill that Ruan Yuan spent at the Forgotten Bar was dated on April 27 six years ago. On that night, the flight she took had an accident when it landed in City A. That is to say, it came from the day Ruan Yuan died. I passed your bar, that's why I came to you." "So, that woman named Ruan Yuan died on the same plane as your parents?" Qiao Mu reacted immediately. I have to nod. "I see, the woman who followed her last night was you." Pan Yue's face turned red all of a sudden. "I'm so sorry." It can be seen that she really regrets it. "I'm so confused. If I had known that I would meet both of you here today, I wouldn't be so rash." "Miss Pan, I don't think you are unreasonable, but you frightened her last night." Pan Yue was still the same as yesterday, looking at me timidly. I just can't put this face on top of the one from my morning nightmare. "I have promised Miss An not to bother her anymore, so now, you are my only hope." "Hope? What hope? About this woman? Miss Pan, look for yourself, there are so many customers coming and going in this bar every day, how can you expect me to remember a certain customer on a certain day six years ago? " After listening to Qiao Mu's words, her tears flowed down uncontrollably. Looking back on yesterday's situation, even I was at a loss. She just wanted to inquire about someone, and there was no reason for her to suffer this kind of grievance. "Don't get excited. Since you're here, and Ms. An happens to be here, why don't you be more frank and tell us what's on your mind, so we can analyze it for you. There are no difficulties in this world that cannot be solved." I silently stuffed the tissue into her hand, and she choked up and said thank you. "I do have my reasons, but I don't want to trouble you with my private affairs." "You've confused our heads, why don't you make it clear once?" I expected Qiao Mu to say that, he hates pointless circles. Pan Yue drank all the water in one go, and seemed to have finally made up her mind. "Frankly speaking, Ruan Yuan is a mystery in my life. To be more precise, it should be the knot between me and my husband. The reason why I can't solve it is because she died without warning. Suddenly disappeared into this world, leaving no clues to let me know her past, this group photo and this bill are all I can find, the only thing about her past, so I came here, I hope I can I found the answer I had been waiting for for a long time. Calm down and think about it, a single photo may not prove the relationship between Ms. An and Ruan Yuan. But Ms. An, I must let you understand that I have no malice towards you and me. I just want to talk to you wishfully. If you really know her, maybe you can tell me a little bit about her past. As for Mr. Joe..." She paused suddenly thoughtfully, "In addition to Ruan Yuan, maybe you can help me verify one thing about my husband." "Your husband?" Qiao Mu's expression made me feel that he has decided to wade into this muddy water. "Yes. To tell you the truth, I have also heard a little about the story of the mysterious cocktail in the Forgotten Bar, but I won't believe it unless I come and see it myself." "What does my bar have to do with your husband?" "Maybe, maybe not. The wine on the bill was ordered by Ruan Yuan, but it was my husband who actually drank it." The moment Qiao Mu looked closely at the name of the wine again, he secretly hid the sudden realization in his eyes. At the same time, my gaze also caught those two English words that I was too familiar with. "That is to say, that day, the two of them came to the bar to play together, but when I asked him why he stayed in the bar that day, and Ruan Xian took the plane back alone, he couldn't remember it. He said that he was drunk that night, and he had no memory of what happened later, and he couldn't even remember the reason why he and Ruan Yuan came here. The next day when he woke up from the hotel, the first thing he saw was the airport in City A on TV. News of the accident, so..." "So you suspect that your husband has forgotten an important memory in the legendary Forgotten Bar." Qiao Mu helped her finish her sentence. "Although I still don't quite believe the legends about this bar, the name of the wine on the bill and my husband's performance made me curious." "Perhaps I can check this for you. As for the result, I can't guarantee it." "It's okay, just do your best." There was finally a gleam of joy on her face. "What's your husband's name?" At this moment, I looked at my watch, then stood up, took the opportunity to go to the toilet, went to the counter to pay the bill, and left the Forgotten Bar alone. "Ling, are you in such a good mood every day?" "how come." "Then what method did you use to adjust your mood and make yourself cheerful quickly?" "this……" For the first time I was speechless in front of the microphone. "Are you happy or not? It's none of his business to worry about it? Bah! Hell." Yu spits out his gum and sums up in disgust the worst show ever. "Maybe it really is hell." I smiled at her and shrugged helplessly. "Would you like to come to my house and sit down, lest you pollute the air by cursing all the way." "No, I have a date today." She habitually took out her makeup bag. Xiao Yu is the kind of girl who likes to put on makeup in the street and is unrestrained and unrestrained. She has a straightforward and bold personality, and she likes the same sex very much. As for the opposite sex who surrounds her, it is another matter. "Stop thinking about having fun, it's time to have a serious boyfriend." "Watch out, you'll get wrinkles when you talk like that." She acted like she didn't care. "Aren't you the same? Boss Joe is a man who is a bit more stubborn. In fact, he is quite nice and rich. I really don't understand why you don't like him." "I wouldn't be friends with him if I didn't like him." "friend?" Xiao Yu's eyeballs were about to fall to the ground. "I said when will your brain be enlightened? Yes, or not, such a simple multiple-choice question, it will take six years to do it, will it end?" "I'm not you, you are still young, I can't afford to play anymore." "Then don't play around. If you marry An An An Wen, you'll be married. I'm still waiting to be a bridesmaid!" I think she is really simple minded. "Don't rely on the old to sell the old, are you still crazy when you are my age?" "Craziness has a price to pay, and when you really understand it, it will be too late." The weather tonight is as clear as the day before, and it hasn’t rained in City S for a long time. I decided to take a taxi back, but I had to get out of this one-way street first, and then I could stop the car on the main road ahead. Ever since I met Pan Yue here, the road has become darker and longer than before, as if seen in a dream. The street lights here are often broken. Xiaoyu and I chatted while walking, and we never felt scared, but we were worried when we walked alone. I am not afraid of the dark, I am afraid of people who come towards me in the dark. It was still the third intersection, and a shadow overlapped under my feet. I subconsciously quickened my pace, and the shadow moved quickly along the road. God, that woman is trying to drive me crazy! Annoyed, I raised my phone and yelled: "If you don't come out again, I'll call the police immediately, you know I'm not joking!" "An Ling." Why does it sound like Qiao Mu's voice?Looking back, he was really sullen, leaning against the tree trunk alone. "You think this is fun, don't you?" "I was afraid that something would happen to you, so I had no choice but to make a bad move." I froze for a moment, he knew I was afraid, only he knew. I lowered my head, in order to hide the unspeakable fragility and helplessness. Qiao Mu came over and gently held my face up. "You're afraid of her, aren't you?" Tears fell silently. "why?" I shook my head, feeling depressed as if my chest was tightly strangled by countless thick ropes. "Is she someone from your past, or someone related to your past?" I am still silent. I can't say it, I don't know how to say it, where to start, the memory like broken glass, because of her appearance, has been intermittently looming in my life that has finally calmed down. what should I do? What on earth should I do? No one can tell me. I raised my head, looked at the man in front of me silently and helplessly, and looked at the pity that was enough to grind all my strength into powder, covering every corner of his pupils overwhelmingly. hug me!hold me tight... I couldn't help shouting from the bottom of my heart, but he didn't move, just stared at me blankly until I had to look away. "I won't go back on what I promised you, but at the very least, let me stay by your side. Although I don't know what Pan Yue means to you, you must understand that fateful encounters cannot be avoided. Yes, if you really don't want to see her again, tell her what you really think in your heart, you don't want to be in fear all day, right? An Ling, running away is not the way." "Qiao Mu, in the past six years, the things that I have been trying to forget have been presented to me bit by bit... Fate must have deliberately played tricks on me, maybe something bad is about to happen. " "Then have you figured it out? It's too late to give it to me now." "don't want!" I pushed him away, almost instinctively, and stepped aside. "I do not want……" He no longer insisted, and it took a long time before he spoke again, his tone had returned to the original calm. "Well, as I said, I won't force you, but you must remember that no matter what happens in the future, I will always be with you, guarding you every step of the way, and will not let you suffer any harm." I couldn't be brave anymore, and finally couldn't restrain myself, and threw myself into his arms. Qiao Mu hugged me hard for a while, held my face in his hands, and wiped away my tears. "The first time I threw myself into my arms, I was covered in snot and tears. You really have no style." His loving and complaining expression made me dumbfounded. Qiao Mu's words really comforted me for a while, but they didn't let me escape from the entanglement of the nightmare. The figures still appeared one after another, which made me exhausted in countless nights of waking up or insomnia. This made me understand one thing, and Qiao Mu kept reminding me: People, as long as they are alive, they cannot escape the test of fate, unless you have completely turned into a walking corpse. The days when I left City A made me think that a living part of my body had died, for example, Ann. But now, Pan Yue's appearance has awakened her, and I can only follow the footsteps of fate to find out the answer behind this adventure. So, I made a decision that I didn't expect. Since I can't get this woman out of my mind, I have no choice but to learn from Qiao Mu and find a way to steal her unpleasant memories of Ruan Yuan and her husband, so as to completely forget the purpose of coming to S City to find me. Be happy! I can happily return to my original life, and I don't have to be entangled with the images of the past anymore. When I called Qiao Mu to ask him to make an appointment with Pan Yue, I was still struggling to tell him the purpose of the date. In the end, I gave up because I thought he would not agree with me. "How do you know I have her number?" "Didn't you promise to help her retrieve her husband's memory? Besides, she's not an ordinary woman, you and I know that very well." "My stomach is empty, how do I know?" "Don't be sloppy, you men are all the same." Qiao Mu really snickered. There are not many amazing beauties in this world, let alone a woman who looks exactly like Ruan Yuan. "I haven't thought about her husband at all. There must be a reason for asking her out, right?" "Tell her, I remembered who that Ruan Xian was." "Oh? Who is she?" "That should be a matter between me and Pan Yue, right? You'd better mind your own business, don't forget, you promised her straight away, and it's your turn to solve my problem." He didn't want to embarrass himself, so he had to do it. So, three days later, Pan Yue and I sat face to face again in the most peaceful corner of the Forgotten Bar, and I secretly started the first step of the plan. I arrived very early that day. May told me that Qiao Mu went to a wine company to discuss business and would come back very late. I thought he might have let me in on purpose, for fear of affecting my emotions. Pan Yue was about fifteen minutes late, and it was obvious that she carefully dressed up to meet me. She removed eye shadow, lace, patterns, and all the overly elaborate and cumbersome decorations, but lightly applied light powder and wore a simple and loose one-piece dress. For the first time, she didn't look so much like Ruan Yuan, she was just a strange woman I just met. "I'm so glad you finally forgive me and are willing to see me." She ordered a cup of coffee as usual. I didn't want to order the same thing as her, fearing that it would shorten the distance we should have, so I ordered oolong tea instead. "It's not about forgiveness, it's just a misunderstanding. What you said to Qiao Mu that day was very sincere. If I don't do anything for you, it will be too unreasonable." "Then you finally remembered about Ruan Yuan?" "It was not easy for me, after all, it has been six years, but the result may still disappoint you a little bit." "How to say?" "Pan Yue." I call her by her first name to keep my head clear. "Do you know Ruan Xian's previous occupation?" She thought for a while, and replied uncertainly: "It seems to be the same as my husband, who is engaged in design." "Six years ago, this woman named Ruan Yuan was the most famous interior designer in City A, and she was better than her husband. And I happened to be a reporter for a business weekly, and I was in charge of an exclusive interview with a female entrepreneur. At that time, many newspapers and magazines wanted to find her, but she just didn't like to show her face in the media. I sent it to her, trying to impress her with sincerity, but nothing came to fruition, I think the photo in your hand should be the one I sent her at that time." "So you only met her once?" "That's why I can't think of her exactly, not to mention I don't have a good impression of her." Pan Yue's suddenly enlightened expression was obviously mixed with disappointment, and she looked at me in the photo again. "No wonder you don't have a smile on your face at all. Even Ruan Yuan's expression is weird. She really doesn't look like a friend. She must have made you suffer a lot..." The cup in my hand fell to the ground suddenly, and MAY ran over in shock. "Did you lose your job because of her?" Pan Yue's worried eyes fell on my face. "No, no, that's not enough..." May quickly replaced me with a new teacup, however, Pan Yue's inadvertent expression of worry still made me feel uneasy. She didn't seem to notice my abnormality, and continued to ponder what I just said. The memories about Ruan Xian are not considered memories, and they are very serious and selfless, which is really confusing. "You see, although we look alike, our experiences are vastly different. Six years ago, she was already a flourishing designer, and I was just a small employee in an agency. If she is still alive, even Just like me, if you give up your job and become a full-time housewife, you will definitely keep your home in order. Moreover, she is definitely more tasteful and stylish than me. She is a born artist. What am I, how can I compare with her? ..." What made her feel so inferior, so obsessed with finding another woman's past? Besides me, who in this world would really want to save her? "Pan Yue, I advise you to stop thinking about Ruan Xian, she is gone anyway. Why don't you talk to me about your husband." "My husband? Why are you talking about my husband?" She didn't quite understand what I meant. "Although I can't help you find out the details about Ruan Yuan, it can be seen that you are not happy. You have lost confidence in yourself and your marriage. What happened between you and your husband? Your so-called knot, really Will it never be untied?" My words immediately pulled her out of the lost raving. She put down the photo in her hand, and gradually turned her attention back to me, hesitated to speak, as if she would lose more if she confessed. "No, don't waste time on me, it's a long story, I'm already hard on you, I don't want to disturb your life anymore." I took the initiative to reach out and hold her hand, she twitched slightly, her fingertips were cold. "You forget, I'm a professional listener." "You...are you really willing to listen to me?" "willing." "Are you not bothered?" I shake my head. “我从没对外人说过，你晓得，家家有本难念的经。这些事闷在我心里很久了，我也知道说出来会好受些，我曾经还想过去看心理医生……” “没关系，反正我们也不熟，等你找到答案，离开这里，我们也就不会再见面了。现在，你就当我是个在酒吧偶遇的有缘人，随便喝几杯，聊聊心事，仅此而已，不必给自己任何压力。而我，也只当听故事也帮不了你，如果能分担一点你的痛苦，也算是尽了力了。” “那好吧。可是，要从哪里开始说呢？……” “就从你们怎么认识开始讲吧。” “我的丈夫姓归，以前我从未听说过这个姓，你呢？” 我又摇头。 “他叫归途，前途的途，我是在两年前一个朋友的聚会上偶然认识他的。”
