Chapter 3: Missing
The curtain was silently pulled down in the dark night, the last afterglow disappeared at some point, the upper-class people in suits and leather shoes during the day were drunk in the bright lights and green places, and the lively noise in the KTV seemed to shake the city's reinforced concrete out of the ravines, and there were wandering people who were still walking at night in the cold spring season, and the prosperity and desert were so extreme before dawn.
Beige curtains cover the tall floor-to-ceiling windows, completely isolating the colors that belong to the city, the interior lights are bright, expensive but not flashy, the neat backlog is piled up with thick medical works, and just above the backlog, there is a photo frame, the frame of the decoration is exquisite and tight, but the photos have been yellowed, and there are traces of falling off the edges, which looks very old.
Picking up the photo frame, the white and slender fingers stroked the face of the girl in the photo, and the focused eyes made the already soft facial lines appear more and more gentle, Meng Ke couldn't remember how many times this was the first time, and she couldn't sleep at night. That lonely girl, out of step with the world, he didn't know what words to use to describe her existence, stubborn, rebellious, quiet?...... It all seems plausible.
At first, he thought she was someone's ignorant runaway child, but later learned that she was a homeless traveler. He knew that she would not accept other people's kindness easily, so he asked Meng Ting to help rent her his spare room at a low price, but the moment she saw him in the house, she already knew everything. Otherwise, according to her habit of treating people and things, she won't stay up all night to help him repair the computer, won't put up with his cheeky rice, and won't help him take care of the rice balls......
At that time, I was obsessed with her special appearance of treating him, and I didn't have time to think about it carefully, and ignored the loneliness hidden under her quiet appearance, so that after she left, she regretted many regrets. Over the years, the elders in the family will also introduce her girlfriends, but he always can't help but compare them with her, not as independent as her, not as good as her personality, not as calm as her, and even her taciturn has become an advantage, he knows that he can't let go of her, so he simply rejected a group of people who are courting and trying to look at the world from her perspective. She had trapped him for six years with three months, but after leaving only a few words, he was now more and more accustomed to waiting, unhurried, unhurried, and he believed that they would meet again one day......
The screen of the mobile phone lit up, and after a glance, it was Meng Ting calling, and he immediately swiped to answer, "At such a speed, you won't be waiting for my call." The tone on the other end of the line was the usual teasing.
"As you wish, I have been absent-minded for the past few days, just waiting for news from your old man. Every time she called, she had to win him over in lip service, and Meng Ke simply complied with her.
"Yo, I have to ask for people, and I finally opened my mind and knew how to lower my posture. ”
"Yes, people have to bow their heads under the eaves. Meng paused, "By the way, how about the matter I asked you to help investigate." ”
"Well, I've checked it, but what's in it for me?"
"There are two tickets for the premiere of "The Artist", the cost is all-inclusive, and you can take whoever you want. ”
"You got all the premiere tickets, it seems that you have made a lot of money, yes, you are conscious. The person on the other end of the line seemed satisfied, and continued, "I have to say, you are indeed discerning, and the work in the photo exhibition is hers, and,"
Meng Ke only felt that his heart was beating wildly, and his eyes were deep, "And what?"
"She's also ...... in City A now"
Later, Meng Ting said something more, but Meng Ke almost didn't listen to it, and all that was circling in her mind was that sentence, she was also in City A.
Reuniting with Gu Ze again did not make any changes in Yi Yang's living state. The year she just left school, she still had some expectations, looking forward to him going back to M University one day, or occasionally inquiring about her news when chatting with his group of buddies, to learn about her current situation, even if they were far away, even if they couldn't go back to the beginning, even if he thought she was the hand of sin, but even if he remembered the old feelings and made a phone call to say hello, at least it made her whole youthful struggle seem less insignificant.
But no, for a whole year, he didn't send her a single text message, call once, or say a word of greeting, as if he had never been such a person as her in his life. She glanced at the road under her feet, long and rugged, thorny, as if endless, and as if she could see the head at a glance, pulled out a self-deprecating laugh, life is different from what she imagined after all, when someone parted ways, he could always do it steadily, resolutely and resolutely, and never look back. You look at this chaotic year, who misses your warmth and sorrows? Who accompanies you to wander around? Who allows you to feel at ease for a lifetime? Coming out of the clouds, I met a few female colleagues at the door who didn't talk much, dressed in light clothes, dressed casually and fashionably, when I saw her, one of them greeted her with a smile from afar, "Yi Yang, everyone is going to go to Hi tonight, let's go together." ”
Yi Yang was stunned for a second, she had encountered this situation countless times before, and she was already able to deal with it calmly without changing her face, "Go ahead, I haven't changed my clothes yet, and the new photos taken today haven't been trimmed yet, so I won't go." ”
"Oh, that's right. The loss in the eyes of his colleague was vividly expressed, and he glanced at the woman with exquisite makeup and beautiful posture behind him, and continued, "However, today is Ziyue's treat, the rich woman has a rich wallet, and if you don't slaughter it, you don't want to go to it?"
"Let's go together, it doesn't matter if you change your clothes or not, anyway, I haven't seen you wear formal clothes, this one is pretty good, and the kind of thing that retouching is not familiar to you photographers, and it doesn't take much time. Hearing what his colleague said, Xin Ziyue also opened his mouth.
"It won't take much time, but I won't drink, and when the time comes, you'll all have whiskey, and Vogart will be in hand, and I'll be alone with a carbonated drink, and I'll be lonely, so I'm not going to join in the fun." ”
"Actually, you don't have to drink at the party, there are a lot of fun and fun things," the female colleague wanted to say something, but the person next to her pulled her, "Forget it, Yi Yang doesn't want to join in the fun, let's not force her." Then he smiled at Yi Yang, "Yi Yang, then we'll go first." ”
"Mmmm, have fun!" Yi Yang watched them walk away with a smile and a smile, in fact, the so-called invitation between colleagues is just a chance encounter, out of politeness or out of face to ask casually, the invited person only needs to be resolute when refusing, and both parties can easily reach the true thoughts hidden in their hearts.
