Chapter 33: The Man Who Helped Her Wipe Her Tears
Lin Yiyi slowed down and said: "Xinyan told me in tears that day, after more than ten years, she cried again, but obviously she was in tears, but I could see the joy in her heart......"
She stopped as she spoke, staring at me with burning eyes, my mind had never been so concentrated, I couldn't wait to know what Nie Xinyan said, the café was terrifyingly quiet, and the sound of tapping on the keyboard could not be heard. There was an invisible sense of oppression in the air, I could already hear my own heavy breathing, and the acceleration of my heartbeat made my heart even more uneasy.
I was suddenly a little scared, I felt that there was already a layer of fine beads of sweat on my forehead, I was afraid that Lin Yiyi would say that sentence, Lin Yiyi stopped at this time, which is enough to prove how powerful that sentence is, I am afraid that I can't bear it, I am afraid that Nie Xinyan will have some kind of hope for me, and that hope is something I can't do in my life.
Lin Yiyi's eyes were full of deep meaning, staring at me tightly like an eagle falcon, and the corners of her mouth curled up and said, "What's the matter, don't you dare to listen?"
I stubbornly raised my head and looked at her, although I was already a little cowardly in my heart at this time, I would never allow myself to back down at this time.
"Say, what did Xinyan say?" I let myself say this in the calmest tone, I didn't want Lin Yiyi to feel that my emotions were fluctuating, and I didn't want her to doubt my feelings for Nie Xinyan because of this.
Lin Yiyi saw my expression and smiled lightly, the smile was a little complicated, a little relieved, and a faint remorse.
She opened her mouth slightly, my heartbeat seemed to have stopped at that moment, her eyes were like torches, and she always paid attention to Lin Yiyi's mouth shape, hoping to judge what Nie Xinyan said.
I couldn't hear the outside world anymore, and according to Lin Yiyi's slowly changing mouth shape, I silently interpreted the words: she...... Say...... Just the first two words already made me sweat, and for the first time, I felt that I was so easily tired with high concentration.
But at this moment, I don't have time or heart to rest, my eyes are still fixed on Lin Yiyi's mouth shape, Lin Yiyi seems to notice my abnormality, and her mouth shape has become wide open and closed, presumably to make it easier for me to identify what she said.
Lin Yiyi's mouth moved, her lips closed slightly, and slowly opened, and I silently interpreted her mouth shape: I...... Look for...... Arrive...... Help...... I...... Whisk...... Go...... Eye...... Tear...... Target...... Person...... Finish.
"I've found someone to help me wipe away my tears. I read it softly, and along with it came tears from my bursting banks. I don't know how to describe my mood at the moment, in addition to the pain, there is also endless emotion, and I only have one word in my mind to present "the person who helped me wipe away my tears".
But can I really be the person she says I am? I had already felt a little relaxed when I heard that she was going to Italy, but in order to reassure her, I said that I would wait for her, at least until she decided to give up. I thought that even if the two of us weren't together after that, time would dilute everything. After all, I really don't have confidence now, to some extent, I am still more rational, if Nie Xinyan goes to Italy, it means that it is a long-distance relationship for up to three years, and we may not even be able to meet once a year, as time goes by, the weakening of feelings is very likely to happen, this is life, life needs to be treated rationally, too emotional will only be abused by life.
But according to Lin Yiyi, Nie Xinyan waited for nearly ten years before waiting for another person who could help her wipe away her tears, and she could survive ten years, so what was three years for her?
I finally understood where my previous fear came from, I was afraid of myself, I was afraid that in the three years since she was gone, I was afraid that I would tend to compromise with life for some reason, I was afraid that I would not be able to keep my promise with her. Three years is not a long time, but I have only been dating her for three years.
My thoughts were in a mess, I kept rubbing my hair, looking at Lin Yiyi a little blankly, her eyes were very indifferent, and even a little cold. It seems that my current reaction is really disappointing to her, and I even shamelessly think that if I say give up now, will everything be easier after that?
I know in my heart that my biggest pressure comes from Nie Xinyan's words, she has such high expectations for me, I am afraid of failing her, I am afraid that I will not be able to bear her longing.
I am a human being, and the most fundamental difference between humans and animals is that people have thoughts, and people will first think when facing things, and then list various solutions and choose the most cost-effective one. The irony is that most decisions made by instinct are the most in line with human nature, and the solutions that come up after thinking will inevitably hurt something or damage its interests.
I suddenly remembered the question that Xiao Zhong asked me, although I was not facing a problem of economic conditions, but it was just as harsh, if not more than that. I analyzed rationally for a long time, but found that the result was not ideal, and I remembered how I looked when I answered Xiao Zhong's question.
"What about emotionally?"
"Since you're all emotional, what else do you think, just do it with your feelings. "
......
I had already made a decision in my heart, secretly clenched my fists, raised my head to look at Lin Yiyi, I didn't know if she could see my firmness in my eyes, just stared at her intensively, to show my determination.
Lin Yiyi looked at me, finally showed a relaxed expression on her face, and said, "Have you thought about it?"
I nodded lightly and said, "Well, I've figured it out." "
"Actually, I'm really disappointed that you can think about it for so long, but it makes sense when you think about it. After all, no matter who suddenly hears such a sentence, they will feel at a loss. After all..."
"It has nothing to do with Xinyan's words, it's my problem. I interrupted her words in time, even if Lin Yiyi said the truth, I can't agree with it, at least on the surface.
Lin Yiyi didn't have a trace of displeasure on her face that I interrupted, but instead showed a sudden look and said, "I finally understand why she said that." "
"Why?"
"Don't talk about that, now that you've made your decision. Then let's talk about the reason why Xinyan lost control of her emotions that night, forget it, I won't help you analyze it. I'll state to you what happened from my point of view, and you can analyze the reasons yourself, even if she told you before, I probably didn't tell you the real reason. Lin Yiyi didn't answer my question, and turned the conversation back to our initial topic.
......
"Xinyan called you that afternoon, is there something wrong?"
"Well, yes. I thought back to that afternoon and nodded slightly.
Lin Yiyi paused for a moment, and then continued: "Before that, Xinyan also received a phone call, but she avoided me to answer. After answering, my face was very ugly, and I called you immediately. I don't know what you said to her, but she got even more depressed after talking to you on the phone. After that she went out alone, and I was a little worried about her, so I followed her. I didn't leave until she walked into a restaurant. "
Listening to Lin Yiyi's description, I can imagine the scene of Nie Xinyan sitting alone at a table to eat, and the sourness in my heart is even worse.
"As for what happened next, I think you should have all of it in mind. When Xinyan came back, she was already crying, and there were only two people left in this world who could make her cry like that, one was her father, and the other was you, Yun Wuxiu. "Lin Yiyi gritted her teeth when she said my name, I could understand why Lin Yiyi was so resentful of me, so I could only bow my head silently.
"At first, I thought it was her dad who caused it, and the call she received that afternoon was probably from her dad because there are only two people in the world who can make Xinyan's mood fluctuate. I didn't think of the reason for you, after all, Xinyan's state was a little wrong after answering the phone that day. But later, after questioning, she said that she saw you talking and laughing with another girl, and called you that you hadn't paid attention to her. When Lin Yiyi said this, a sneer appeared on her face, "Hehe, you are really good!"
I wiped the cold sweat on my forehead, dodged Lin Yiyi's eyes, and finally understood what happened, but I think the main reason for Nie Xinyan's emotional breakdown was indeed me, and the call she received was eighty percent from her father, and the conversation between the two must have been very unpleasant. At this time, she thought of me, but she didn't get the comfort and support she needed. I think the biggest reason is that I lied to her that day, she called me to eat and I didn't go, but I was talking and laughing with another girl, and no one could stand it, let alone a girl like Nie Xinyan.
"Still, there's one thing I admire about you. I scolded you so much that night, you can still think of coming to Xinyan, you can still hold on and wait for Xinyan after being drenched in the rain for so long, I believe that few people can do this. "
Lin Yiyi's sudden praise caught me off guard, and I smiled a little embarrassedly.
"Alas, I've never been in love, and I don't know what the state of mind of a person in love is. Obviously, I was crying like I was going to die a moment ago, but after I went down to see you, I came back and hugged the doll and laughed like a child. Lin Yiyi sighed lightly and said helplessly.
"Then you're miserable, actually, I don't understand. People in love ........."
A mobile phone ringtone interrupted our conversation, Lin Yiyi took out her mobile phone and shrugged at me, and said softly, "Xinyan's." I nodded slightly, indicating that I would not be silent.
"Hey, Xinyan. "
"......"
"Oh, I'm in the café across the street from the school. "
"......"
"Okay, I'll be right back. "
"......"
"Bye-bye, see you in a moment. "
Lin Yiyi hung up the phone and said to me: "Xinyan is looking for me, I'll go back first, since you have made a decision, you can implement it well, and now Xinyan can't bear any harm." "
"Well, you go first, and I'll sit down for a while. With that, I closed my eyes slightly, listening to Lin Yiyi's footsteps in the distance, and my mood gradually calmed down.
In less than a minute, the sound of footsteps came again......
"Forgot something?"
No one answered me, and I couldn't help but open my eyes, but another face appeared in front of me, staring at each other in silence......
