Chapter 100: Go to Dali again
Lin Yue was alone in the old mansion, she glanced at the second floor, and remembered that there was a room there that was locked, and she heard her mother-in-law say that that room was Li Xinyi's room before.
She went to the yard to find Chen's mother who was watering the flowers, and said to her: "Chen's mother, do you have the key to this house?" I want to go to the room on the third floor to have a look, but I haven't seen it. She remembered that Chen's mother had a large set of keys on it, and the keys to all the rooms in the building were hung on it.
Chen's mother didn't doubt him, so she went to the room and took out the big bunch of keys and handed them to Lin Yue, who thanked Lin Yue and entered the house.
Lin Yue held the key, she felt nervous for no reason, she felt that she had been crazy recently, maybe she was forced by Chen Jinyan, she hated herself a little, but she couldn't resist the curiosity in her heart, wanting to see what the woman who made Chen Jinyan love so much looked like.
She slowly walked up the steps to the second floor, and walked slowly towards the innermost room, the road was not long, but Lin Yue felt that she had walked for a long time, and when she finally stopped at the door, she still felt a little unreal.
There were a lot of keys, her hands trembled slightly because of nervousness, and she tried to insert them one by one, and I don't know how long she tried, and there was a "click" sound from inside the door, and it opened.
She found that her back was sweating, and she felt like a thief.
Lin Yue took a deep breath and unscrewed the doorknob, then gently pushed the door open and walked in.
All parts of the room were covered with white cloths, even the tables, Lin Yue looked around, but couldn't see anything, the snow-white walls were connected with the white cloth, making the whole room look indescribably cold.
She walked over to the table by the window and gently lifted the white cloth from it, revealing the milky white table underneath, then some books, and finally a picture frame.
Lin Yue's eyes widened for a moment, she couldn't believe what she saw, she couldn't help but close her eyes, and when she opened it again, she still saw the photo just now.
She trembled and picked up the photo frame, which showed Chen Jinyan and a young girl, sitting on the grass and snuggling up to each other, both with bright smiles on their faces.
Chen Jinyan should have been very young at that time, much more immature than him now, but why did the girl next to him look exactly like Shen Yan?
Lin Yue looked carefully for a long time and found some differences, Shen Yan's appearance was more flamboyant, while the girl in the photo was much softer, and her temperament was obviously not a person.
This is Li Xinyi?
A strange feeling surged in Lin Yue's heart, why did Li Xinyi look so similar to Shen Yan? Her mind was chaotic, and she always felt that she had found something looming, but she couldn't figure it out.
She put down the photo frame, went to the desk to look for it, and sure enough, she found a photo album, she sat on the bed with the photo album in her hand, and opened it to look at it one by one.
From their childhood, all the way to adulthood, each one is them standing together, from youth to maturity, she seems to have witnessed the whole process of a pair of childhood sweethearts and young people falling in love.
Lin Yue didn't know how to react, looking at the face that was very similar to Shen Yan snuggling up to her husband's side, her heart was a little complicated.
She took out a single photo of Li Xinyi and put it away, then put the album back in its place, covered it with a white cloth, and combed the bed that was a little wrinkled by herself, and watched everything return to its original state, as if no one had ever come, she was relieved, quietly retreated and locked the door.
In order not to make Chen's mother suspicious, she also went to the third floor to take a look, opened the rooms, but did nothing, just sat in a daze, she took out the photo of Li Xinyi from her pocket, her heart was full of bitterness, she wanted to be jealous but couldn't be jealous, this face was the face she was most familiar with, accompanying all her youth.
Shen Yan, are you doing well in heaven?
Lin Yue fell into the memories of the past again, those years spent with Shen Yan seemed to have become the memories of her entire youth, how could she forget?
In the afternoon, Hu Lanxin and Chen Qijun came back, and Lin Yue said to them: "Mom, Dad, I want to go out for a walk." ”
Hu Lanxin was slightly stunned, "Are you talking about going out for a trip or?"
"It's tourism, I just want to say him...... I don't want to go to work, and it's okay for me to stay at home, so I want to go out for a walk, I didn't have time before, but now I want to go out when I have time. Lin Yue rehearsed the excuses she had rehearsed countless times, and when she saw that her in-laws didn't suspect it, she was relieved.
Hu Lanxin smiled, "You kid, what do you want to do when you want to go out and tell me? Will I still let you go out?" You make up your own mind, but you must pay attention to safety when you go out, and remember to call me every day to report your safety, and you have to say it yourself." ”
"Well, I see, thank you, Mom and Dad. ”
Lin Yue didn't plan to tell Chen Jinyan that she was in chaos now, and she didn't know how to face him.
Packing her simple bags, she boarded a plane to Kunming the next day, the last day of the New Year's holiday.
Yes, the place she went to was Yunnan, not what she said to be scattered, she was going to Dali to find Xinqing and ask her everything about Li Xinyi and Chen Jinyan, some things may only be known best to her.
The second time she came here, she was much more familiar than the first, and after getting off the plane, she went to the bathroom to take off her thick sweater and coat, and changed into a thread jacket and a light jacket.
She transferred directly to Dali in Kunming, and took a taxi to Yuji Island without stopping at all, and found Xinqing's inn.
Li Xinqing heard the staff in the store say that someone was looking for her, and when she walked out, she saw Lin Yue, and she was stunned for a while.
But soon she reacted, and said with a smile: "Rare guest, why do you want to come to Dali to relax?"
Lin Yue looked at her with mixed feelings, her sister was the person Chen Jinyan loved deeply, and it could even be said that she had changed his life, and then made her life like a pool of stagnant water, with no hope.
Li Xinqing is a very smart woman, she had a guess when she looked at Lin Yue's appearance, sighed secretly in her heart, and asked the clerk to send Lin Yue's luggage to her own guest room in the backyard, and then she pulled her out.
Even in January, Dali is not as cold as Beijing or City A, but it is not as warm as when I came before, and the breeze on the shore of Erhai Lake also brings a hint of coolness.
"Lin Yue, did you come to me this time because of my sister?"
Lin Yue turned her head to look at her, there was a hint of surprise in her eyes, but it soon became clear that how could her expression deceive people?
She nodded, took out a notebook from her bag, and took out a photo from it, "Xinqing, is the person in this photo your sister, Li Xinyi?"
Li Xinqing took the photo and looked at it, a trace of melancholy crossed her face, and then nodded, "Yes, that's right, this is Xinyi." ”
Lin Yue took out a photo from her notebook and handed it to her, Li Xinqing looked at it, her face changed slightly, the photo was a photo of Lin Yue and a girl, but to her surprise, that girl was eight points similar to her sister.
"This is?" Li Xinqing looked at Lin Yue and asked puzzledly, she was sure that she was not her sister, because they were quite different in age from Lin Yue, and the two in the photo were obviously the same age.
"This is my best friend, we've known each other since we were thirteen and we've been classmates ever since, she's ...... She passed away two years ago......" Lin Yue said the latter words with some difficulty, and she was very sad in her heart.
Li Xinqing was stunned at first, and then a little sad, "Don't be sad, the deceased is gone, and the living should live well." She patted Lin Yue on the shoulder as a sign of comfort.
"Didn't you notice that your sister looks like my friend?" Lin Yue asked, looking at her.
Li Xinqing nodded, and there was some confusion on her face, "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really couldn't believe that there would be two people who were so similar in this world, but I can be sure that my sister is not related to your friend by blood." ”
Lin Yue nodded, "yes, I can't believe it." Her voice was low, as if she were whispering.
"Lin Yue, Xinyi has been dead for many years, and now that you are married to Jinyan, since he has come out, you don't have to dwell on the past anymore, so it is good for you and him. ”
Li Xinqing's persuasion did not make Lin Yue happy, she smiled bitterly and did not speak, her marriage with Chen Jinyan is now in name only, but these cannot be said to outsiders.
"Can you tell me about the pleasure and the prudence? ”
Li Xinqing glanced at her with some hesitation, and the two of them found a seat to sit down, with the clear and quiet Erhai Lake in front of them, "Do you really want to listen?
As a woman, of course, she understands how painful it is to listen to the past between her husband and her first love, so she doesn't want to talk about it.
But she didn't know that this kind of past was not the most painful for Lin Yue, the most painful thing was Chen Jinyan's attitude now, he seemed to be unable to let go of the past, and he was still thinking about being drunk and dreaming of death, but he shouldn't have pulled Lin Yue in and suffered with him.
"It's okay, you don't have to worry about me, I want to know everything about him, including such a past. Lin Yue smiled at her and said.
Li Xinqing shook her head, turned her head to look at the lake in front of her, and her thoughts gradually pulled back to the distant past.
"In fact, at the beginning, Xinyi was very afraid of Jinyan, and Jinyan didn't like her, she always disliked her for being too small, like a drag, but when Xinyi grew up, Jinyan slowly changed, Xinyi is a kind and lovely girl, she always secretly helped him when Jinyan was punished, sent him food, and helped him copy his homework, I don't know when Jinyan was inseparable......"
Although Jin Yan had a bad temper when he was a child, he was good-looking since he was a child, especially the color of his eyes, which looked like a doll, many girls liked him, because they knew that he had a good relationship with Xinyi, many girls handed love letters to Xinyi and asked her to help hand them over to Jinyan, because if they gave Jinyan directly, he would not accept them, and even threw those love letters into the trash, so Xinyi has acted as a messenger of love letters since elementary school. ”
