Chapter 23: The Empty Melancholy of Nothingness

Shi Tao never expected that after the Spring Festival, especially in the matter of Ma Juan's return to the door, what he did had a great shock to Yang Qiong.

Through contact in the past six months, Yang Qiong found many shortcomings in Shi Tao, and felt that Shi Tao was not the person she was looking for.

Maybe Guo Shuai's shadow has been causing trouble, Yang Qiong is always comparing Shi Tao with Guo Shuai inadvertently, at least Shi Tao is not as handsome, handsome, and tall as Guo Shuai.

Although Shi Tao has been taking care of Yang Qiong, she knows that Shi Tao's care is a little unnatural, as if it is not out of his own intention, and all his actions are deliberate.

His concern doesn't seem to be what Yang Qiong wants, and in Yang Qiong's opinion, his concern is not as good as Guo Shuai's concern at all.

Yang Qiong has never mentioned Guo Shuai to Shi Tao, and she is indeed afraid that this kind of topic will hurt Shi Tao's heart, she knows that his self-esteem is very strong, so she also intends to avoid it.

Shi Tao was once inseparable from Yang Qiong, but Yang Qiong knew that the shadow that appeared in the dream was Guo Shuai, not Shi Tao. From this point of view, if you follow the call from your heart, the person you want to find is not Shi Tao at all.

Yang Qiong knew that in fact, it was impossible to be with Guo Shuai, so she tried to forget him.

She also tried to get as close to Shi Tao as possible, trying to deepen her relationship with Shi Tao, but this made her feel very contrived and not so willing. Although she hesitated and tried to convince herself, she always felt that she couldn't get over it.

She knows that Shi Tao is very good, and he is indeed a good man, and she also knows the truth that no one is perfect.

Maybe she has always had a girl's dream, always dreaming that she could meet the prince charming in her heart, and there should be an unforgettable romantic love, but from the facts, this is out of reach.

Although Shi Tao is also trying to create romance for her, she always feels that these are not what she needs.

Some of the things that Shi Tao did to her, sometimes she accepted them happily on the surface, but only she knew that she refused in her heart, but it was just perfunctory on the surface. With such an attitude, she sometimes even feels very sorry for Shi Tao.

Her feelings for Shi Tao are very complicated for herself, sometimes she needs his care, and even his company, she is very longing.

She couldn't figure out whether this longing was a girl's desire for love, or a woman's desire for a man. But sometimes, she always wants to avoid or even refuse, and she even sometimes has the idea of not acknowledging the fact that Shi Tao cares about her.

It is said that girls love beauty, but she loves beautiful boys even more, the kind of handsome and chic young man, is the prince charming in every girl's heart.

When I first saw Shi Tao, although I also had the idea of wanting to get in touch, it was not strong, maybe it was because of the girl's feelings. But after all, the age is not young, and when it comes to the age of talking about marriage, it is inevitable that men and women will fall in love.

In the first period of getting along with Shi Tao, I found that many of his shortcomings, especially his initial image, seemed to be casual and uninhibited, unkempt and sloppy, and I couldn't like it.

Of course, maybe after being instructed by a master, maybe it was his own influence on him, Shi Tao changed his image, and at this time she felt that she liked him a little, but all this was an appearance after all.

Yang Qiong felt that Shi Tao was not her ideal person, so in the process of getting along with the two, she didn't show all her feelings, and it seemed that there were still some hidden, and she didn't know who she was keeping it for.

In the matter of Ma Juan's return to the door, Shi Tao's performance, Yang Qiong was shocked, which made her feel very disappointed.

One is that Shi Tao actually said that he wanted to be the groom for Ma Juan.

In the eyes of outsiders, it is even a joke in the eyes of Chang Xiaochang and Ma Juan, but in Yang Qiong's opinion, it may not be a joke in itself.

It is also possible that Shi Tao likes Ma Juan, they are alumni and good friends, and it is very likely that they have been together for a long time, but Ma Juan is married.

Maybe Shi Tao subconsciously blurted out when he saw Ma Juan's embarrassment, this kind of self-righteous remarks is actually very hurtful.

Yang Qiong felt very sad, although she was not sure if she really loved Shi Tao, but after all, the two of them had been getting along, Shi Tao's words really shouldn't be said, especially in front of her, but Shi Tao said it after all.

The other is that at Ma Juan's house, in front of so many relatives and friends, Shi Tao was drunk like mud, and he was brought back. Although he had been drunk before, it wasn't a fool of himself after all.

Yang Qiong also drinks, and she drinks a lot, it seems that she is still addicted, and she knows what it feels like to drink.

If you can't control yourself by drinking, it means that there is a problem, one is a problem of perseverance, and the other is the problem of alcohol, after all, if you drink too much in front of everyone, especially on an inopportune occasion, it means that there is a problem with your character.

For a man who wants to fall in love with him and intends to entrust him for life, such a situation will definitely have a serious impact on the woman and cause a great psychological blow, and Yang Qiong is no exception.

She felt that this incident hurt her very much, and made her lose confidence and patience in Shi Tao.

She felt that she needed to re-examine her view of love, and perhaps she needed to change her love partner.

She quietly made a decision for herself, no longer in contact with Shi Tao for the time being, and treated her coldly for a period of time to see if she was still attached to him. Or take a look at Shi Tao's performance to see the after-effects, and then decide whether to continue to contact him.

And Shi Tao didn't know at this time that his enthusiastic help to Ma Juan to return to the door caused Yang Qiong to be farther and farther away from him because of his unintentional words and the consequences of his performance at the wine table.

Regarding the fact that he was drunk like mud at the homecoming banquet, Shi Tao regretted it very much afterwards, regretting that he should not have made a fool of himself in public. This not only brought trouble to Ma Juan's family, but also affected Chang Xiaochang, and even discounted his image.

There is no impermeable wall, Yang Qiong will know about this sooner or later, and the loss of her image will inevitably affect Yang Qiong's good impression of herself. This is extremely detrimental to the development of the relationship between the two people, and Shi Tao is indeed aware of this.

Shi Tao regretted another point, even if he was very depressed, he could drink by himself in the dormitory, it didn't matter how much he drank, he really shouldn't make a fool of himself in public on that occasion.

Afterwards, Shi Tao decided to go to Yang Qiong, he wanted to explain his mood to Yang Qiong at that time, because he was worried about his future development with her, he was unhappy, he was drunk, and he wanted to get Yang Qiong's understanding.

He didn't expect it, and it was because of his worries that his worries became true.

When he found Yang Qiong, Yang Qiong always talked about him left and right, and didn't follow him about it. That's not all, the two couldn't stay for two or three minutes, so Yang Qiong went out under the pretext of no longer letting Shi Tao be with her.

Shi Tao never realized that what he said unintentionally actually hurt Yang Qiong even more.

After several unsuccessful attempts to find Yang Qiong, Shi Tao finally felt that Yang Qiong was avoiding him, and in order to avoid it, she sometimes didn't even go back to the dormitory at all.

Although Shi Tao thought that as long as you were in the dormitory, I would always find you, you could hide from the first year of junior high school, but you couldn't hide from the fifteenth. But with the change of Yang Qiong's work, Shi Tao's abacus fell through.

In March, Yang Qiong was transferred to the finance department of Shidong Company.

Because of the rapid development of the project construction, the project is about to come to an end, and the head office has begun to arrange the training of workers, set up functional offices, and began to arrange the preparatory work before the commissioning.

With the new workers moving in, the new company has established its own canteen and dormitory to facilitate the dining and accommodation of the workers, and the workers do not need to go back to the main factory.

This made it very inconvenient for Shi Tao to find Yang Qiong again, even if Shi Tao went to find it a few times, he couldn't see anyone at all, which made Shi Tao even more disheartened.

Yang Qiong was deliberately avoiding him, and he felt that his relationship with Yang Qiong was broken.

Ding Dezhi was soon transferred to the equipment department of Shidong Company.

The equipment installation was completed immediately, and the equipment management workload was getting bigger and bigger, and manpower was needed, so Ding Dezhi was transferred away according to the instructions of the superiors.

Although he can easily find Yang Qiong, after all, it is him, and it is useless for Shi Tao not to establish a relationship with Yang Qiong.

The relationship between Ding Dezhi and his teacher's girlfriend was soon confirmed, and the two got married on Women's Day.

Of course, Ding Dezhi also has to feast on his guests, and Shi Tao, as a fellow countryman and classmate, must attend.

With the lesson of the last time in Ma Juanna, Shi Tao didn't dare to drink again. However, all this is useless for the feelings of Shi Tao and Yang Qiong.

The students who joined the company have all married one after another, and now only Shi Tao is left for the man, and Yang Qiong is left for the woman.

got married, at first lived in a small house in an apartment, and later they all bought houses one after another and moved to a new home, and even Chang Xiaochang and Ma Juan also bought an old building.

Ding Dezhi also bought a second-hand house in another living area, and went to enjoy the happiness of being married with his teacher girlfriend.

They are all sponsored by families for their purchases.

As the construction of the project is coming to an end, Shi Tao's inspection mission will also come to an end. At the end of March, Shi Tao finished the night shift for nearly half a year and began to work the day shift, still with Master Zhang of the testing team to assist him in his work.

Now only Shi Tao lives alone in the apartment dormitory, lonely, but quiet.

However, Shi Tao felt lonely and helpless, and he didn't have the heart to pay attention to his image, it was not as good as before, he was sleepy all day long, and he always seemed to be unable to wake up.

It turned out that Bancun's hair was long, and he didn't bother to take care of it, and sometimes he didn't shave his beard, and sometimes he only shaved it once every three or two days.

He himself feels like a flower who wants to eat, sometimes he doesn't wash his face or brush his teeth, and now he doesn't even bother to wash his clothes, and he can often wear half a month with a single dress.

Even so, he didn't think about himself, what image can make a girl look good? Let outsiders see that it is very normal for Yang Qiong to look down on him, not only Yang Qiong, but other girls are not willing to associate with him.

As Shi Tao and Yang Qiong stopped dating for longer and longer, he knew that the relationship between the two of them was over.

Can Shi Tao really let go of Yang Qiong?
