Chapter 448: Unspoken Words
No matter how confidential Jolene is, the fact that her boyfriend said goodbye has also spread on a small scale. As Li Lanzhi and Chen Yun expected, these spreads do not mean care, but more groundless speculation.
With her brother behind her and Aunt Chen, they can send Sun Ruiyang's latest news from time to time, and Qiao Lin gradually stopped worrying about his safety. But what she couldn't rest assured was that he didn't say goodbye. What he was determined to do must have been difficult, and perhaps dangerous. But he's stubborn, and if he doesn't make it, he won't come back.
Sun Ruiyang didn't tell her that there was a person who committed suicide because of his thesis. Qiao Lin heard the news from Chen Yun and felt that the world was spinning. She guessed that her boyfriend was not only going to pay tribute to that person, but he also had to collect evidence and give him an explanation. But she didn't figure it out, what evidence did he need to run so much?
In this way, he ran around in order to get justice for someone, but in the eyes of others, he was like a groom who ran away suddenly when he was about to get married, leaving his girlfriend who had always been in love with him, and ran away alone.
Just a week after he had gone, Jolene went for a stroll around the playground and sat in the stands in a daze when she was tired. Behind her sat several girls, who were discussing the future of marriage. I don't know if they were brainwashed by some articles, they are all full of fear of marriage.
One of the girls said: "Let's take the girl in our department as an example, her boyfriend is a childhood sweetheart, and she is also a talented woman, a good match, she was going to get married as soon as she graduated, but the man ran away without saying a word." ”
"Why?"
"Who knows? Boys are also afraid of marriage every day! There is still one semester left to graduate, there are too many uncertain factors, and it is normal to break up!"
"Alas, that is to say, you still can't show affection, it's true that you show affection and love die quickly!"
Qiao Lin really wants to defend herself, she is not a master of showing affection, at most, she posts her and Sun Ruiyang's daily life in the circle of friends, and her boyfriend sends her mobile phones, schoolbags, and flowers, she never shows off, how can she show affection?
Before she could speak, the girl's next words shocked her even more: "Childhood sweetheart, it's been more than 20 years now, how can you still separate? Is it that the man has already changed his mind and is about to get married, so he mustered up the courage to escape? Or there will be no chance." ”
Jolene was really angry, but they changed the topic so quickly that she glared at her angrily. At this moment, she had an extra hand in front of her, and that hand also held a pair of headphones.
"Put it on, it can block a lot of sounds. ”
It was Liu Zheng who gave her headphones, and Qiao Lin was a little surprised, but said honestly: "My phone is out of battery and I can't listen to the song." ”
"Headphones are not only used for listening to songs, but also for disguise. Liu actively stuffed the headphones into Qiao Lin: "Put it on, you can't hear other people's voices, and you can pretend that you don't care about anything." ”
After Liu Zheng finished speaking, he turned around and left, not even giving Qiao Lin a chance to say "thank you". Jolene plugged in her headphones, looked at her back, and whispered, "Thank you." ”
Liu is right when he says that headphones can indeed be a disguise. Jolene put on the headphones and seemed to be immersed in her own world, not caring about other gossip. Liu Zheng has a strong heart, and it is thanks to these "disguises"!
But in front of good friends, Jolene doesn't need to disguise. She didn't expect that Wei Chenglin had just come back from out of town, and the first thing he did was to ask her to have dinner together. Xu Na went on a business trip to a certain museum, so Wei Chenglin only invited two Lin.
Old friends did not mention Sun Ruiyang's departure, as long as Wei Chenglin and Zhao Linlin met, they must argue about one thing, that is, whether Zhao Linlin is a senior sister or not.
Zhao Linlin has always regarded herself as a senior sister, but Wei Chenglin didn't admit it, they were obviously classmates and went to college in the same year, of course they should be classmates!
"Don't think you're one year older than me, we're sitting in the same classroom. At that time, you were still very strong, and you sat at the table in front of me, blocking the blackboard so tightly that I couldn't even see the teacher's board book!"
After so many years of old friends, Zhao Linlin has long been indifferent to these sarcasm, and she shot back mercilessly: "You actually looked up at the blackboard?"
Wei Chenglin was dumbfounded.
Zhao Linlin continued to mock: "You are still literate? Oh, by the way, you know 'Li', but you don't know 'Cry'." ”
"Li" and "Cry" are jokes made by Wei Chenglin, but fortunately, he gave his friends a sample before the song, and they heard him sing "Crying" as "Filing a complaint", otherwise he would be embarrassed in front of the whole country.
But Wei Chenglin, who has a good face, will always find reasons for himself, at first he said that the lights were too dim to see clearly when he recorded it, and later said that it was because "Yizhichun" was written too awkwardly, and it was clear that a "crying" could be solved, so why did he have to make it a "crying complaint"?
With only these two moves, Wei Chenglin no longer challenged the authority of the "senior sister", although he still refused to call Zhao Linlin "senior sister". They were laughing and laughing, and Jolene listened with a smile, stuffing meat into her mouth from time to time.
In the past, Qiao Lin would always get involved in their childish arguments, but this time she didn't, Zhao Linlin laughed exaggeratedly, and she couldn't get Qiao Lin's attention. In the end, she laughed so much that her cheeks hurt, so she exchanged a look with Wei Chenglin, and the two of them died down.
Zhao Linlin felt bored, and began to lead the battle again: "Wei Chenglin, you can also wear a peaked cap and a pair of sunglasses." Otherwise, I'm so tired from having a meal with you, I don't know how many people are secretly filming us!"
Wei Chenglin smiled: "No, right? I'm not a superstar, how can anyone shoot me?"
After that, he deliberately looked around to prove that he was not so popular. Then, he heard the "click" sound one after another.
He had no choice but to turn his head and concentrate on eating meat. Zhao Linlin laughed and trembled: "There will be news tomorrow morning, 'Wei Chenglin, a creative genius, dating two women late at night'." Jolene, let's become Internet celebrities. ”
Qiao Lin smiled reluctantly again: "I hope Sun Ruiyang can run back in a hurry when he sees this news." ”
Now it was the turn of the two men to be quiet.
Zhao Linlin comforted: "Don't worry, he will definitely come back after he finishes his work!"
"You try it with me, are you in a hurry?"
Zhao Linlin couldn't answer, so she had to change the topic: "I can't eat anymore, I can't gain weight anymore." ”
Since losing weight, Zhao Linlin has to weigh herself every day, and she will be very anxious when she gains a pound. She said that the life of a thin person was so beautiful, and now that she thinks about it, the time when she gained weight was like hell.
Zhao Linlin spent a lot of money on school, but in 2013, the year she graduated, she was already able to get a monthly salary of nearly 10,000 yuan. Although she often complains about those customers who have a clear head and ask her to change back and forth, and often complains that the work pressure is too much, the feeling of making money is very cool!
Zhao Linlin's salary is much higher than that of Xu Na and higher than that of the student party Qiao Lin. After she became financially independent, she could chase Jay Chou casually, and she could often invite two good friends to dinner. Xu Na once sighed: "In the first two years of high school, you almost didn't do anything, either sleeping or graffiti, but in the end, you are the widest!"
Zhao Linlin said with a smile: "Wei Chenglin is better than me! He hasn't even taken a cultural class, he only learns English, but his income is beyond my reach!"
Jolene envies her friends, who have been training for years, and she has to face the first step into society - finding a job. Zhao Linlin asked her what her plans were, and she smiled bitterly: "Just like my mother said, go back to Hong Kong City to take the exam and become a teacher in the second middle school!"
Zhao Linlin knew that with a master's degree in translation studies from Peking University, it was not a matter of minutes to find a good job? How could she go back to that small town to become a teacher? It was precisely because Sun Ruiyang did not come back that Qiao Lin was so negative.
Wei Chenglin called her out just to change Qiao Lin's mood, but she never lifted her spirits. He thought of many words to comfort her, but her attention was always somewhere, never on him.
That day, Wei Chenglin took turns to send the two girls home, and he insisted on accompanying Qiao Lin for a walk around the campus. I saw that I was selling roasted sweet potatoes and bought one for Jolene. Back then, in No. 2 Middle School, as long as it was winter, late at night after self-study, they would always buy a piece of roasted sweet potato and eat it downstairs before going home.
Jolene also remembered those past events, but did not say more, but ate quietly. The campus was quiet, only the sound of the wind blowing. Jolene looked up at the sky and said, "In a few days, it will be our birthday." ”
"I know ......"
"I was going to tell him on his birthday that I was also going to study in the United States. My tutor said that if I wanted to apply to a prestigious school, he would write me a letter of recommendation. In addition, he will find a more powerful bull and write me another one. ”
"That's ...... That's good!"
"But I don't know if I can go again...... I heard that he submitted an application for deferment of graduation, and if he didn't go abroad, it wouldn't be interesting for me to go alone. Jolene kicked the fallen leaves and said, "I don't understand why he meets the worst one among so many good teachers in this world?"
Wei Chenglin took off his scarf, draped it over her shoulders, and said: "If people can make choices freely, where else will there be any troubles in the world?
Wei Chenglin was right, and the scarf he gave was also very warm. Afraid that Jolene would refuse, he said, "It's too cold, you should hurry up and go upstairs! ”
Wei Chenglin watched her walk into the dormitory building, but didn't tell her, in fact, he was the first person who knew that Sun Ruiyang was leaving.
Sun Ruiyang sent him a message in the early hours of the morning, asking him to take care of Jolene, and told him not to tell her. According to Qiao Lin's temperament, if she knew that this was his request, she would not accept Wei Chenglin's kindness.
Wei Chenglin couldn't understand, according to Sun Ruiyang's IQ, how could he not know that he had ever thought about Qiao Lin? Even if he never took any action, could Sun Ruiyang rest assured that he would entrust his girlfriend to himself? This is really unreasonable.
However, Sun Ruiyang quickly turned off the phone, and Wei Chenglin couldn't contact him anymore. He racked his brains and finally figured out a little with his limited brain cells-
Could it be that Sun Ruiyang is planning to break the kettle and sink the boat, and is he ready to come back? !
