95. Reunion(1/47)
This world is very magical. In the past, he could only whisper Jiang Tian to listen to what he liked, and dare not let others know. Now he can tell many people calmly, but only Jiang Tian can't hear it.
Although the communication is so developed, they just interrupted contact with the crowd.
At first, Sheng Mingyang stared at me like a thief. At that time, Sheng Wang was a little nervous and gave up. He thought that he couldn't catch him anyway, so he just let it go - you have worked so hard that he just wanted to see me alone? Then I'll format it for you.
At that time, he was young and had a stubborn mind. He was rarely rebellious because he couldn't bear to stab others, and he always had the attitude of hurting the enemy for a thousand times. He cleared his account in front of Sheng Mingyang, unloaded WeChat, and locked his old phone in the drawer along with the "Oh" and "Health Encyclopedia".
Sheng Wang remembered that the moment he closed the drawer, Sheng Mingyang stood by the table without saying anything, his expression was a little lost. While his eyes were sore, he felt refreshed. It was like using the sharpest teeth to bite the most painful ulcer.
After that, others contacted him either by phone or by information. All of Jiang Tian’s movements had to be communicated through Sheng Mingyang’s mouth. He said to Sheng Mingyang: “Dad, are you relieved like this?”
Sheng Mingyang didn't say anything.
There is an alumni association in Beijing at the affiliated high school. Every year, freshmen will organize gatherings and dinners before and after admission. Seniors who have time will attend when they have time. Seniors and sisters are welcome to Beijing.
The first time Sheng Wang refused. When he was young, he was always as sensible as fish in such activities and could chat with anyone. He obviously had no alcohol tolerance and always kept drinking in a cup. Later, he felt bored - endless greetings, politeness, pretending to be close, but in fact he was all strangers. He didn't have the energy to do that.
The second time he was dragged by Kao and Gao Tianyang.
Maybe it was born. In that environment, he automatically switched to the water-like mode. Until Zhao Xi came late, he calmed down as if he had been pressed for the mute key.
Zhao Xi saw him at a glance, chatted and changed positions with others, sat next to him, patted his shoulder while no one was paying attention and said, "It's a bright future, Sheng Wang, I've learned to lose contact."
Zhao Xi poured him a glass of beer, held the cup and touched him, and the milky white foam splashed out. He took a big sip and heard Zhao Xi say, "Isn't it very bitter?"
He couldn't swallow it anymore.
Zhao Xi said that he had always felt a little subtle guilt, fearing that Sheng Wang would take this path because of his unintentional guidance from Lin Beiting. Then he would be very guilty and suffer for no reason.
Sheng Wang said no.
Because Zhao Xi and Lin Beiting were there, and if it weren't for Jiang Tian, he wouldn't have come to this road. At least he could not have imagined that scene himself.
He asked Zhao Xi again how he convinced his family.
Zhao Xi was stunned for a moment and said, "Linzi doesn't have this pressure. As for me... Lao Zhao used to be absent, but I might have inherited him. At that time, I had a quarrel with Linzi and had a quarrel with Lao Zhao, so I went abroad directly. My mother lost her temper with my dad without seeing anyone, and she softened a little. Later, Lao Zhao got sick and suddenly became clear. Linzi has been nagging for the past two years, so she probably regarded it as her own son."
Sheng Wang was stunned and suddenly remembered that Boss Xile Zhao had undergone cancer surgery.
"But..." Zhao Xi said: "If I had another time, I would rather work him for two more years and not get sick. Whose time is not time?"
People have different joys, sorrows and sufferings. No matter how close they are, their lives are their own, and they cannot learn from them.
Sheng Wang asked Zhao Xi again: "Did you and Brother Lin help him when he went abroad? He..."
Is he doing well?
Zhao Xi used to hear him say "my brother, my brother, my brother". Suddenly, he heard "him" pinching his head and tail, and was a little uncomfortable. After a moment of being stunned, he realized that the pieced-up family had fallen apart, and the saying "my brother" was already incorrect.
Jiang Tian is no longer his brother or boyfriend. After wandering around, he becomes a person Sheng Wang doesn’t know what to call him, and becomes someone who cannot be described in words.
Zhao Xi said that he and Lin Beiting helped settle some of them, mainly because Jiang Tian is very successful and his life will not be so sad if he has a scholarship. But it is just not so sad.
Sheng Wang asked him again if he had any contact with Jiang Tian, and he said there were very few.
Because of this short answer, Sheng Wang sent a lot of unread messages back to Jiangsu, and flipped out his old phone and logged in to WeChat. As soon as he logged in, he received a large number of unread messages.
They stayed in the gap in time for too long and had no meaning of reply. Sheng Wang looked at it one by one, pulled from beginning to end, but Jiang Tian’s chat box was blank and there was nothing.
It was not until that moment that he realized that uninstalling WeChat and discarding his phone was not purely anger.
He knew Jiang Tian's personality and what the other party's decision to let go mean - Jiang Tian left all the worldly excitement to Sheng Wang, and he took a cat to walk cleanly.
But Sheng Wang just doesn't want to accept this fact.
During that time, he would repeatedly poke into Jiang Tian’s information interface.
The other party’s nickname is still “oh”, the avatar is still “group leader”, the cover of the album is the desk under the light and shadow, and the circle of friends stops on that song “Childhood”, as if the passing years have come to an abrupt end and there will be no updates since then.
On the New Year's Day of the senior year, the day when he refused to confess his love to his junior girl, Sheng Wang grabbed his cell phone and sat in the playground stand late at night. He wanted to talk to Jiang Tian, but he thought about it like never before, but he didn't know what to say.
The way of the ending was too hasty and embarrassing, and both sides were in a mess. So much so that the words that could be said when I was young were so big that I couldn't even send them out.
In fact, it is useless to send it out. The things that are lying between them will not disappear for a day, and it will only add to entanglements and troubles. The word "Disconnection" sounds ambiguous and affectionate, but it is just a detour and has to be consumed. If it is consumed far enough, it can be cut off calmly.
He couldn't say anything more greetings. He couldn't imagine that one day, he and Jiang Tian would greet each other, "Are you busy?", "How are you doing recently?", and "going out to gather together when you have time", and then sprinkle soil layer by layer on the boy's love and bury it in the past.
On the day he officially graduated from college, he was dragged by Kajiao and Gao Tianyang and had a breakup meal with a large group of people. It seemed that the breakup meal for each class in each school had a fixed process, calling his ex-boyfriends of all kinds of crushes. Just like April Fool's Day, the steps were set early, and if it was not satisfactory, just follow it.
Sheng Wang initially thought they were a group of fools, too childish. Later, the group of fools took turns toasting, and drank it and sat on the sofa in the corner of the box for a while. He reached out to ask Gao Tianyang: "Where is my phone?"
Gao Tianyang was even more confused than him: "Have you given me your phone?"
He was confused for a moment, said "Oh", took it out of his pocket, clicked it carefully into WeChat, and typed it word by word: Are you still here?
Then withdraw.
Enter again: I'm graduated
Then withdraw.
Enter again: I got two degrees, is it amazing
...
He spoke sentence by sentence, then withdrew, focusing as if he was revising an academic paper.
After Gao Tianyang finished drinking, he escaped to that corner and saw that there was no green strips in the chat interface, only a long row of "You withdrew a message."
Then Sheng Wang said, "I want to vomit", turned off the screen and rushed into the bathroom.
His withdrawal was piled up for a long time, but he couldn't wait for a question mark. However, other people's news jumped and came to wish him a smooth graduation in groups. There were always people like this who wished him a happy birthday, a happy holiday, and a safe New Year at all times. And he couldn't even match his name, so could he reply a formulaic thank you, so did you.
After that day, Sheng Wang never did such a thing again. He seemed to have packed everything and devoted himself to his work with great energy. He went to a top consulting company with a high threshold. Most of the students admitted to their school that year were master's and doctoral students, and he was one of the few only students.
In the past, Aunt Sun often said that he would not touch the spring water and would not know how to put some oil in a while. He did not know how to deal with it. He did not know how to suffer. After graduating from college, he never stubbornly and couldn't wait to invest in the sufferings of the world. The company has a wide range of customers and has it in all walks of life. His group focuses on connecting with foreign capital, but he is good at speaking, has strong abilities, and has good relationships with each group. He quickly accumulated his own network.
Sheng Mingyang used to always talk about "you are still young" until one day he encountered a threshold in his business and needed to clear the relationship. His previous business rarely involved that part, and he really couldn't find a suitable person to match him for a while. Finally, he went around and went around his son.
That day, Sheng Wang took advantage of the business trip and called him for a meal and responded to the problem of the match. Sheng Mingyang suddenly realized that before he knew it, Sheng Wang was no longer the child who was sleeping on the sofa drinking soda and playing games, and his eyes would no longer turn red because of his words.
Maybe it was because I suddenly felt aging, or maybe it was because I was drunk. Sheng Mingyang looked at Sheng Wang holding his phone and poking it in the meal and seemed to be chatting on WeChat. He suddenly asked, "Are you in touch with...you again?"
Sheng Wang paused for a moment, continued to type, put away his phone and said, "No."
He took a few bites and added: "It seems that he no longer uses WeChat, don't worry."
At that moment, Sheng Mingyang seemed to want to say something, but in the end he just nodded. The son in his impression was a bit spoiled, and he also picked this and that. When he got angry, he looked like an animal cub and fur. He looked upright, but he was actually soft.
But now it's different.
He realized that his son had wrapped a layer of shell for himself, hard with burrs, tightly tucked in the seams and a little bit of a thorn. The furry Wangzi on the back of his head had disappeared in time, and he didn't know where to look for it.
However, Sheng Wang made a mistake. Jiang Tian didn't deliberately refuse to reply to the message, but lost his phone.
Jiang Ou and Old Man Ding were helped by Zhao Xi and Lin Beiting, and the expenses were also paid a lot. He doesn't like to owe others, even if the relationship is good, he will pay back any money he saves. So even if there is a scholarship, he is not well off. His visa is limited and he can't do too many odd jobs. In order to pay it off as soon as possible, he has reduced the expenses to the lowest level, and the rented block is not very safe.
He was stopped, stolen, and robbed. At first, he planned to endure it until he threw two mobile phones in a row, and then moved the place in a hurry. Every time he changed his phone, he always went to the cloud disk to dig down the old videos and photos he had saved, and built a private photo album, and kept it carefully, but he rarely clicked in.
One year in early December, he followed the professor to attend a scientific research meeting. When he returned, he stayed in Sweden for two days due to the professor's personal reasons. The winter there was long and difficult, and it started to dark at 3:00 in the afternoon.
The nearby shop closed, and the only one with the lights on was only wine. The professor invited him to drink some hot blood together. After drinking a few glasses, he went to the corner, sat in an armchair by the window, watched the sun sink early on in the horizon, suddenly clicked into the mobile phone album, took out a video from a long time ago, and pulled the progress bar back and forth.
In the video, a boy in a school uniform walked a few steps under the street lights, suddenly turned to look at him, and asked, "Can you take a picture clearly?"
Jiang Tian bowed his body and lowered his eyes, and his thumb kept wiping on the progress bar. He dragged it back to the starting point every time he put it to his head. He was obviously very sober, but he looked like a stubborn and clumsy drunk.
After chatting with friends, the professor walked here, glanced at his phone novelly, and didn't see the specific content clearly, and asked with a smile: "What are you looking at?"
Jiang Tian turned off the screen of his phone and said, "It's nothing, my cat."
"Oh." The professor knew that he had a cat and had been carefully raised for a long time. He nodded in understanding: "I have seen photos and they are very beautiful. What is its name? I always can't pronounce the name well."
Jiang Tian turned his fingers and his eyes fell on a certain place in the void, as if he was a little dazed. He was silent for a few seconds before answering: "Wangzi."
It is easy to find videos and photos, but various accounts with mobile phone numbers are very troublesome, not to mention that some even recognize devices. Jiang Tian changed to a new WeChat, but did not add many people. Most of them were international students, and chat records were mostly academic matters, with only one exception.
It was impulsive when he sat on the bus in the early morning. The other party's contact was probably already exploded. He didn't even ask who he was. He slept after a few random greetings. But he looked at the two laughter and polite words of no distinction.
This unknown WeChat seemed to have put a layer of invisibility cloak on him, and he used this layer of false shell to deceive himself. He would send a restrained blessing to the other party on the holiday, and then say Happy Birthday to the other party at 0:00 on December 4th, and then change to a simple and polite thank you.
In his simple reply, he hurried forward, graduated early and applied for a job directly, as if he worked harder, the time would be shorter and less difficult.
However, every time he sprints a few steps, he will always be pulled back by someone-
Jiang Ou recovered well in the past two years, and sometimes she gave people the illusion that she had just given birth to a few days under concentrated stimulation, and after that node, the anger disappeared.
She once became gentle and elegant, and always smiled when talking to people, so she was so anxious that Jiang Tian thought everything was fine. Until one day, he tried to mention Shengwang, and Jiang Ou became anxious as if the switch was pressed, and she became anxious in an instant. Only then did he realize that it was not so easy to solve the psychological problems, and he could only rely on time and patience to slowly grind it.
During this period, Old Man Ding went to the hospital several times and underwent an operation. When he gets old, he is like standing on a steel wire, and he is careful every step. After passing this hurdle, he still has a hurdle and is frightened.
So no matter how fast Jiang Tian runs, it is useless because the shadow moves too slowly.
It took him a long time to make the shadow barely keep up, and then took a breath.
His mentor was a big shot. At that time, there was a cooperation project on the medical application of nanomaterials that needed to return to China for a long time. When Jiang Tian saw the cooperative school, he applied by chance. It was not until he took the flight back to China that he felt that he was a little confused.
The person he wanted to take a look had already graduated.
The end of the year is always the busiest time. Shengwang took two and a half days to go on a row. He held a video conference with customers while working abroad. Finally, he caught the time after dawn and was about to make up for it for a day. Then he received a call saying that he had arranged a dinner party tonight.
He reached out from the quilt and sat up with his hair. He could easily get angry if he had less sleep. He was already full of anger. He suddenly heard the incident of inserting it into the corner, which was a lawsuit: "Which client is so good at choosing time?"
"A great man in nanoscience, his original cooperative company had some contact with us. Later, he moved to the medical field and had fewer contacts. This time he brought a few doctors to do a project. You are very familiar with the cooperative school, so I don't need to say anything. It just so happened that our company also has a cooperative development center with your school, and the professor has some personal relationship with PAR. Anyway, after a while, the dinner was decided."
To be continued...
