Chapter 392 I don't know if he listened
Just as he was about to reach the small tavern, he could hear faint noises from a distance. Although the sounds were a little blurry, they became clearer and clearer as he got closer.
As expected, the most prominent and eye-catching thing was Han Chunming's heavy sighs. Each sigh seemed to carry a heavy burden, weighing heavily on people's hearts. Those sighs seemed to contain endless sorrow and loss, which made people feel pity.
However, in sharp contrast, Xu Huizhen's patient and earnest words of persuasion. Her tone was gentle and graceful, just like the gentle spring breeze gently blowing across the face, giving people a warm and comfortable feeling. Xu Huizhen's words seemed to have magical power, trying hard to dispel the heavy haze that shrouded Han Chunming's heart.
At this moment, Li Dongyu stood quietly at the door of the tavern and paused for a moment. Just by listening for a short while, with his keen insight and understanding of the people and things around him, he was able to roughly guess the whole story.
There was no doubt that the person standing in front of him with a sad face and sighing was Han Chunming. It was conceivable that he must have rushed to the Su family yesterday with full of expectations and excitement, wanting to propose to the girl named Su Meng. Unfortunately, things did not develop as he wished, and the result was just as everyone had expected before - he was rejected by the other party without hesitation and neatly.
Facing such an outcome, Li Dongyu did not show much surprise. In fact, before this, with his keen insight and understanding of the world, he already had his own judgment and expectations about this matter. Therefore, when this moment really came, after hearing the news, he just smiled bitterly, shook his head gently, then sighed, and walked towards the small tavern not far away.
Arriving at the door of the tavern, Li Dongyu first stopped and carefully and meticulously tidied up the corners of his clothes, then raised his hand and carefully brushed off the dust that might not exist on his shoulders. After everything was tidied up, he stretched out his right hand, tightly grasped the mottled wooden door handle, and slowly pushed it open.
With a slight "creaking" sound, the old-looking, weathered wooden door slowly and steadily opened its arms like an elderly person. Although the door is a little worn out, every tiny scratch and wear on it seems to be silently telling stories of the past, making people feel a rich and mellow breath of life.
Li Dongyu took a deep breath, trying to calm his slightly nervous heart. He calmed himself, raised his feet, and carefully stepped into the tavern filled with a warm atmosphere. The lights in the tavern were soft and warm, illuminating every corner just right, giving people a feeling of being at home.
At this moment, Han Chunming, who had been sitting quietly in the corner, suddenly raised his head as if he had telepathy. His eyes happened to meet with Li Dongyu who had just walked in. In an instant, Han Chunming's face involuntarily showed a fleeting awkward smile, but before this smile could fully bloom, it quickly disappeared like a flash in the pan, replaced by a deliberately maintained calm expression.
At the same time, Xu Huizhen, who was busy greeting customers behind the counter, was also attracted by the sudden sound of the door opening and footsteps. She turned her head quickly and looked in the direction of the sound. When she saw that the person who came in was Li Dongyu, Xu Huizhen's face suddenly bloomed with a smile as bright as a spring flower. She waved enthusiastically at Li Dongyu and shouted loudly, "Oh, senior brother! You are finally here, come and sit over here!"
Seeing this, Li Dongyu did not show any shyness, but walked straight to the table with big strides. After he arrived at the table, he sat down on the chair without saying a word.
However, before he even sat down, he could no longer suppress his anxiety and shouted to Han Chunming, who was sitting opposite him with a worried look on his face: "Chunming, I see through you! I know you must be feeling bad right now. But as a man, how can I become depressed and lose my fighting spirit just because of a little love affair?"
"You know, our ancestors left us a famous saying long ago: 'A real man never has to worry about not having a wife!' Besides, when we live in this world, we must have a long-term vision when dealing with people! How can such a trivial emotional setback be considered a huge problem?"
After listening to Li Dongyu's long and philosophical speech, Han Chunming stood there for a long time as if he was under a spell. Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and everything around him became unusually quiet, with only the rustling sound of the breeze blowing through the leaves gently breaking the silence.
Finally, after a few long seconds, Han Chunming slowly came back to his senses. He lowered his head slightly and remained silent, as if he was thinking about something important. However, not long after, he couldn't help but sigh deeply. The sigh was like an autumn wind, carrying endless sorrow and helplessness, quietly spreading in the air.
As the sigh fell, Han Chunming slowly raised his head, revealing a bitterness that was difficult to conceal on his face. He frowned tightly, his eyes were dim, as if a heavy stone was pressing on his heart.
Facing Li Dongyu's concerned eyes, he moved his lips slightly and responded in a slightly hoarse voice: "Brother Dongyu, the great principles you just mentioned are actually clear to me. It's just... Alas! I always feel that something is a little bit wrong in my heart, just like a stone is suddenly thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples, but it can never return to its original state. In the final analysis, I am still more or less unwilling to accept it!"
When he said this, Han Chunming suddenly stopped talking. He raised his head slightly, and there seemed to be a flash of lightning in his eyes, and a trace of indescribable pain flashed across his eyes. That trace of pain was like a meteor in the dark night, short-lived but particularly eye-catching.
Then, he took a deep breath, as if trying to calm down the surging emotions in his heart, but the pain was still surging in the depths of his eyes like a tide. Then, he slowly spoke again: "Do you know? That Su Meng actually ordered her family to come out and send me away like a stray dog. Moreover, she didn't even give me a chance to explain. That's not all. The most annoying thing is that even she herself can't explain whether she is willing to accept my proposal."
"Isn't this just a joke on me like a monkey? Oh my... This feeling is so terrible, it's like countless ants are gnawing at my heart, almost driving me crazy!"
After he finished speaking, Han Chunming shook his head weakly as if all his strength had been drained away. His originally straight back gradually bent down, and he looked extremely depressed and lost, as if he was crushed by an invisible mountain. Anyone who saw his expression would feel pity for him.
Li Dongyu patted his shoulder gently, then turned his head slightly and quickly shifted his gaze to Xu Huizhen. On his well-defined face, there was a mysterious smile that made people curious.
