In a coffee shop on Yaxin Street, Ji Mo sat quietly on a chair and read the newspaper in his hand. On the coffee table in front of him was a cup of coffee. It was originally steaming hot, but now it was completely cold.
In front of the counter, two waiters gathered together and discussed in a low voice:
"Is he waiting for someone? He has been sitting there for half an hour. He is really patient."
"He has been waiting for so long. He must have been stood up by someone else."
"That's about right."
...
"Pop!"
The quiet environment of the coffee shop was broken by a sudden sound of the door opening, and a young man in a suit rushed in.
Who is so rude?
The disturbed people looked at the young man with unfriendly eyes. When they saw the young man, they saw that he was dressed in brand-name clothes, elegant and extraordinary. They suddenly had an illusion-how could such a person be the rude person who pushed the door hard?
The young man's name is Zhang Yuhua, and he is the person Ji Mo is waiting for.
At this time, Zhang Yuhua's forehead was covered with a little sweat, and his breath was very rapid. Obviously, he had run all the way here.
His eyes swept around and finally fixed on an inconspicuous figure. After confirming that the other party was his former friend, he walked over quickly.
The two waiters in front of the counter looked at Zhang Yuhua walking towards Ji Mo, and they all showed surprised expressions.
Zhang Yuhua was wearing a famous brand, with a dignified appearance and extraordinary temperament. Ji Mo was wearing an unknown casual suit, with an ordinary appearance and no temperament to talk about. No one could imagine that these two people would have a relationship.
Ji Mo saw Zhang Yuhua, put down the newspaper in his hand, and smiled, not angry at all because the other party was late for a long time.
"You're here."
Hearing Ji Mo's greeting, Zhang Yuhua also smiled and sat opposite him, apologetically saying: "Xiao Mo, I'm sorry, we've been separated for three years, and I'm late for this meeting, I really deserve a beating!"
"Don't apologize to me, it makes us seem like strangers." Ji Mo had that comforting smile on his face and said, "Also, Yuhua, don't call me Xiao Mo anymore. Since the moment I was kicked out of the Xiao family three years ago, my surname is no longer Xiao. Call me Ji Mo, the Ji of the season."
The smile on his face remained unchanged. Being kicked out of the family was a very sad thing, but when he said it, it seemed like it didn't matter.
"Ah? You changed your surname?"
"Yeah."
Hearing him say this, Zhang Yuhua was shocked, and then he became anxious and said, "Why are you so confused! Once you change your surname, you will never have a chance to return to the Xiao family. Do you know how serious this is!"
"That family, I didn't plan to go back." Ji Mo still had that relaxed smile on his face.
Seeing that he had no intention of changing, Zhang Yuhua did not stop persuading him. He said, "I know that someone deliberately harmed you three years ago. As long as the truth is found out, you can return to the Xiao family. You should change your surname back. You still have a chance."
Ji Mo's face was still unchanged. He pushed the cold coffee in front of him to Zhang Yuhua.
"Quench your thirst." Ji Mo said, "I know your good intentions, but if you asked me out just to persuade me to return to the Xiao family, I think I should leave."
Zhang Yuhua took a big gulp of the coffee, and his face instantly became bitter. It was not because of Ji Mo's words that it was bitter, but because of the coffee - Ji Mo ordered a cup of coffee without sugar.
Zhang Yuhua even suspected that this was not the coffee ordered by Ji Mo, because in his memory, Ji Mo always added sugar to his coffee.
But he didn't take it too seriously. Now there is something else to talk about.
"Of course I didn't ask you out because of this, but I also think I should persuade you. After all, you still have a chance to go back." Zhang Yuhua said.
"Let's talk business."
"Okay, don't be upset when I tell you this."
Ji Mo nodded, with a smile on his face.
"Shuang Ning..." Zhang Yuhua took a deep breath, "She's getting married!"
As soon as the words fell, the smile on Ji Mo's face froze, and a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, but he covered it up instantly.
From the beginning, Ji Mo had a smile on his face, even when he mentioned being kicked out of the family, his face did not change at all, but Zhang Yuhua's words pierced the softest part of his heart.
Lan Shuang Ning, the beautiful girl who once swore a sea and mountain alliance with him, is about to marry someone else...
"My little friend who grew up together is getting married in the blink of an eye. Time flies so fast. I really have to bless her..."
Ji Mo's smile suddenly became stronger. I don't know if it was a real blessing or to hide his sadness.
Zhang Yuhua looked at his smile and didn't say anything. He knew that Ji Mo must be feeling very uncomfortable at this time.
"When will she get married... and who will she marry?"
"In a month, with Guo Tingyun."
Ji Mo still had a smile on his face, as if he really didn't care, and said: "Well, I won't go then, you can help her give her a blessing."
Zhang Yuhua frowned and said: "Aren't you going to go? If you explain to her what happened back then, she will definitely not agree to marry someone else!"
Ji Mo shook his head and said: "Yuhua, I don't want to disturb her. I can't give her a happy life now, I can't show up at her wedding and ruin her happiness again."
"Are you going to... pass each other by because of that conspiracy in this life?"
"Yuhua, I haven't been here for a long time, take me out for a walk." Ji Mo changed the subject.
"You...well, since you don't want to mention it, then don't mention it," Zhang Yuhua stood up and said, "I have some free time today and will take you for a walk."
"Walk."
After leaving the coffee shop, Zhang Yuhua took a taxi.
"Master, where are you going?" The driver was an old man. Seeing that Zhang Yuhua was dressed unusually, he called him "Master."
"Go to Tianqiao Club." Zhang Yuhua said.
"OK."
Ji Mo asked Zhang Yuhua: "Didn't you drive here?"
"Don't mention it, it's stuck on the road." Zhang Yuhua said.
Zhang Yuhua originally came by car, but he encountered a traffic jam on the way, so he made a phone call and asked someone to drive for him, and ran directly to the coffee shop on his legs. This is why Zhang Yuhua was late.
Jingshan City is too prosperous, with high-rise buildings and constant traffic on the streets. Although the export industry is developing rapidly, traffic jams still occur every day in this prosperous city.
After half an hour of shuttling among numerous vehicles, the taxi stopped at the foot of a tall building.
Zhang Yuhua paid the money and got out of the car with Ji Mo.
Ji Mo looked up at this familiar building and felt a little emotional. Back then, he was still the eldest son of the Xiao family, a dashing and bohemian man, and it was he who founded this Tianqiao Club.
Looking back at the beginning, he was surrounded by a group of young men and ladies, with him as the leader, who went out to race cars and gamble every day, and this Overpass Club was the place where they gathered.
Zhang Yuhua pointed at the big sign of the club and said with a smile: "I still remember when you founded this place. At that time, the club was only three floors. Now it has been built to seven floors."
"Time flies so fast..." Jimo sighed with a smile on his face again.
"Let's go in and have a seat. There are many new guys inside." Zhang Yuhua patted him on the shoulder and said.
The decoration of Tianqiao Club is very luxurious, and the doors are made of alloy edges and bulletproof glass.
Opening the door, the space inside is very spacious, with white floors, golden brown tiles on the surrounding walls, many transparent glass walls around, and many fish tanks with blue water and several fish swimming inside.
Not far away are several sofas and a coffee table, which look like they are not cheap. There is also a very large display screen on the wall, which shows a picture of a group of fish swimming.
"Let's go upstairs."
Zhang Yuhua opened the elevator door and walked in, followed by Ji Mo.
Almost all the facilities in the Tianqiao Club have changed, becoming more luxurious, and all the things Ji Mo had originally arranged have disappeared.
"bite!"
When the elevator door on the third floor opened, what came into view was white. The floors and walls were white and spotless. The sunlight shone in, making it look very warm. There are many rooms on this floor, and the doors are all white. I wonder who designed them like this and loves white so much.
Zhang Yuhua took Ji Mo into a door, which was dark inside.
"Crack!"
Turning on the light, I saw the layout of the room: a very long sofa, about five meters long. Beside this long sofa were two short backless sofas. In the middle of these sofas, A large coffee table with some fruits on it and three microphones. On the wall in front of the sofa are two medium screens.
This is a standard KTV layout, except that there is an extra refrigerator in the corner.
Zhang Yuhua turned on the screen and stereo, picked up the microphone and threw it to Ji Mo, saying: "Shuang Ning is getting married. I know you must be feeling very sad. Since you don't want to stop it, just roar a few times to vent your anger."
Ji Mo took the microphone, still with the slight smile on his face, and said: "Yuhua, you are overthinking, I sincerely wish her the best."
"I'm just unwilling..." Ji Mo sighed in his heart.
Zhang Yuhua said: "Even if you sincerely wish me blessings, how can you feel better in your heart?"
"It doesn't matter whether it's good or bad. Now that I'm here, I'll sing a song."
Jimo walked to the screen perfunctorily and clicked a song. As he tapped his fingers on the screen a few times, a familiar and sad music filled the whole room.
Zhang Yuhua sat on the sofa, and as he expected, Ji Mo ordered this song.
This song is called "Broken Memory of Fate", which has a different meaning to Ji Mo.
As the music played, Jimo moved his lips slightly and sang this song that held many important memories for him.
you in the mirror
Still so warm
I'm not afraid of the coming darkness, I'm just afraid of your departure
This feeling of lovesickness
Desperate to fly away
Fly to where you are and fall down
Are you also looking for the footprints I left with you?
Do you still remember the memory of loving me?
…
As he sang, Ji Mo felt a little depressed and felt sour in his heart.
Some things can't be taken back.
A month later, she got married.
Zhang Yuhua, who was sitting on the sofa, listened to the song he sang, and his mood suddenly became very sad. This song sung from Ji Mo's mouth was so contagious that he couldn't help but think of Ji Mo and Shuang Ning's past.
He is the witness of Ji Mo and Shuang Ning's love, and he is also the best friend of Ji Mo and Shuang Ning. Now that their relationship has reached this point, he doesn't feel good about it.
When the song ended, Zhang Yuhua was still immersed in the sadness of his singing. It wasn't until Ji Mo lightly touched his shoulder that he suddenly woke up.
At this time, there was a comfortable smile on Ji Mo's face.
Zhang Yuhua calmed down and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for three years. You are really good at singing. Are you doing well outside?"
"It's OK. I can still afford to go to KTV once in a while." Ji Mo said.
"I'm relieved that you're doing well. I gave you my phone number and asked you to find me when you have troubles. But you changed your phone number and didn't find me at all. I was really worried." Zhang Yuhua scolded with a smile.
"No matter how many difficulties there are, I have survived, haven't I?" Ji Mo said.
"You are lucky. If I were kicked out of the family, I guess I wouldn't even know how to eat."
PS: Some of the language in the early stage (the first fifty chapters) is childish. I hope you can bear with it!
