Chapter II
After getting out of the car, Lou Li and the road came to the pharmacy in the community, the faΓ§ade was not big, and the store manager was her old acquaintance, a classmate from college, Qin Kui.
Qin Kui is the flower of the Department of Pharmacy, she was a popular figure back then, she married her boyfriend who had been dating for ten years three years ago, and now she is three months pregnant.
The pharmacy is not big, when Lou Lihe went, Qin Kui was napping, heard the doorbell and looked up, saw that it was Lou Lihe, and said with a smile: "What a rare guest, what kind of wind blew you here?"
As he spoke, he stood up, "What medicine do you want?"
Lou Lihe waved his hand: "Don't stand, I'll pick it myself." β
Lou Lihe quickly took two or three bottles of medicine on the shelf while talking, and walked to the cash register, Qin Kui looked: "You have a cold?"
Lou Lihe nodded, "How much?"
"Sixty-six pieces of seven. β
After collecting the money, Qin Kui teased: "What, get off the night shift today?"
Lou Lihe nodded again, she looked sullen like this, Qin Kui had long been used to it, "Why didn't you see Mingqiao?
Lou Lihe said: "We broke up, just yesterday. β
Qin Kui's face was teasing with a teasing smile as if he had been frozen all of a sudden, looking a little embarrassed, "Oh... So that's the case, it's okay, it's okay, our pear and the conditions are so good, and there are many good boys..."
Lou Lihe couldn't help but smile when she heard Qin Kui's unsympathetic words, "Who has been talking to me a few years ago, and if you don't marry out, you will be an old girl?"
Qin Kui lowered his face and said earnestly, "Lihe, I have been friends with you for many years, and I won't perfunctory you, tell me what happened?"
As she spoke, she pulled Lou Lihe to the side of the rest area and sat down, "Mingqiao is a good man, you also agreed to dating, I wondered how I should talk about marriage in a year, why did you suddenly break up?"
Lou Lihe lowered his eyes, thought for a while, and then said, "I think, probably because I'm not good." β
"Why are you saying such things again!" Qin Kui was a little angry, "Is it that vixen who seduced Mingqiao, and then this bastard split his legs!"
Looking at Qin Kui's posture that she could rush out and fight as long as she nodded, Lou Lihe smiled, and she reached out to pull Qin Kui down: "I really want those boys in the past to see how fierce the Jiaohua of the pharmacy school is now." β
"Death has no conscience!" Qin Kui pinched Lou Lihe's cheek narrowly, "Don't look at who I'm for to become tough, and dare to be so arrogant?"
Lou Lihe hurriedly raised his hands in surrender: "Miss Qin Kui, I was wrong, you should rest quickly, if your family Yu Shuye knows that I have made you angry, it is estimated that he can hang me up and beat me eight hundred times." β
Qin Kui let go of Lou Lihe at this time, "Forget it, I don't like to joke with you, don't fight me if you don't want to say it, go back and rest well if you catch a cold." Saying that, Qin Kui pushed Lou Lihe: "Go and rest." β
Lou Lihe took the medicine and went home.
But Qin Kui will not stop there, when she was in school, Lou Lihe took care of her very much, so she cherished Lou Lihe very much, and later she returned to China after studying abroad, and by chance, the two actually lived in the same community, Qin Kui decided that Lou Lihe was a lifelong friend given to her by God.
No matter how Qin Kui thought about it, she felt that she couldn't let Mingqiao go, so she immediately called her husband Yu Shuye: "Hey, Shuye, I have something to ask you, that colleague of yours, yes! It's Mingqiao from that research institute, does he have another girlfriend recently? Yes, he actually dumped Lihe! Do you think I would still be sitting here if I knew from Lihe why they broke up? I would have chased after Mingqiao and beat Mingqiao to death!"
Yu Shuye was also helpless about his wife's increasingly hot temper during this time, and the most embarrassing thing was that it was lunch time, and Mingqiao was listening to Qin Kui's words by his side.
After Yu Shuye hung up the phone, he apologized to Mingqiao a little helplessly, but Mingqiao was not angry, Yu Shuye sighed and asked, "That's why you applied to go abroad to return to the Institute of Country D today?"
Mingqiao looked at Yu Shuye, "Sort of." β
Yu Shuye said, "Although I am not very familiar with Lou Lihe, I believe in my wife's vision, she should be a good woman, is there any room for recovery in your breakup?"
Mingqiao shook his head: "Probably not." β
Although the answer was vague, it was very fast, and Yu Shuye knew Mingqiao's attitude. He didn't want to interfere in the other party's private life, so it was inconvenient to ask more.
"Your wife and she are college classmates, right?"
Mingqiao asked suddenly.
Yu Shuye was stunned for a moment and nodded: "Yes, they have a good relationship." β
"When I was in college, Lou Li and... Has she ever had a boyfriend?" asked Mingqiao tentatively.
Yu Shuye misunderstood, thinking that Mingqiao was suspecting Lou Li and having two intentions. couldn't help but be a little angry, and said firmly: "Lou Lihe has never been in love before going abroad, she is very busy, where can she have time to fall in love." β
As soon as Mingqiao heard it, he understood that Yu Shuye had misunderstood, but he didn't want to explain too much, anyway, he had already decided to break up and was about to return to country D, so everything didn't matter.

Lou Lihe took the elevator to the sixteenth floor, came to the door of 1602, and opened the combination lock.
This house was bought a year ago for her marriage, because from the beginning, she wanted to support Mingqiao to move forward.
Perhaps, she was acting too coldly?
Lou Lihe didn't know, she walked in the door, kicked off the shoes on her feet, and put the medicine in the storage compartment of the shoe cabinet, the medicine she had just taken at the pharmacy worked quickly, her head was not so dizzy, and the feeling of hunger in her stomach gradually became obvious, but there was rarely any fresh food at home, although she could cook, but no one had tasted her craft.
Lou Lihe took out a bag of instant noodles from the kitchen cabinet and tore it up and boiled it, the simplest instant food, not even an egg.
With a small noodle pot in hand, she came to the large living room coffee table and sat across from each other on the carpet.
This living room is very large, the visual effect is very good, because when she bought the house, the living room and the balcony were connected, the light was bright, but not dazzling, and the house was transparent from north to south, so although it was summer, there would be no situation in the house like a steamer.
While eating noodles, Lou Lihe checked her mailbox, a few days ago she was arranged to support a mountainous area called Jiulianwei, the materials should come down these days, she has to check the specific schedule.
The time was set for three days later, and in these three days, Lou Li and the patient needed to be handed over.
Jiulianwei is a place with good mountains and rivers, but because the traffic is not very developed, life is more difficult.
This support didn't last long, only half a year, and by the time she came back, winter hadn't yet arrived.
Lou Lihe threw the chopsticks into the pot and picked them up and went to the kitchen to wash them.
The monotonous sound of water reverberates throughout the house, making the room appear more empty.
A single woman's life is so simple, work, eat, sleep, cycle, probably this is the reason why women need men, I hope that there are some variables in such a simple cycle, bringing a little different scenery, but men's lives are actually no different, in the end it just becomes, two people, each working, each eating, sleeping together. It sounds like it's just a change of soup and not a change of water.
This apartment faces north and south, with a small balcony on the east side.
Lou Lihe likes this balcony very much, she put a small rocking chair there, put a lot of green plants on the widened fence, branches and vines climb the wall, and hang down along the ceiling, so even at noon, the light here can only be called shade, Lou Lihe when she doesn't go to work, she likes to sit on the rocking chair and shake it over and over again, but this is not her habit since she was a child, after all, her residence was not so particular when she was a child.
It's a memory of a promise with someone: you sit in a rocking chair and I'm drawing.
She forgot a lot of things, including the person who said the word.
The occasional flashing image of a teenager on the bus was blurry, and she never remembered meeting such a teenager, and there had never been such a boy in her world who could draw.
Lou Lihe got up from the rocking chair, came to the easel at the other end of the balcony, sat on the stool and stared at the clean drawing paper in a daze, until black and white snowflakes appeared in front of her, she didn't stop.
When she's not working, she walks around her home over and over again, but she never delves into whether these vague images are illusions or the past that exists and is renovated by her, because these are things she has forgotten with great difficulty.
She went abroad to study in her junior year, but at the same time she went abroad for treatment, and domestic psychotherapy could no longer do anything for her, she needed hypnosis, she needed to forget, she needed a blank mood, because she wanted to live.
Forgotten, so survived.
And now, she still wants to live, in fact, the reason why she wanted to live has disappeared with the erased memory, and now the reason why she wants to live is not clear, but there is someone in the dark who has been encouraging her, please live, because I want you to see the world again.
It's not difficult for Lou Lihe to live, just open your eyes.
She doesn't even want to pursue the meaning of life, not to pursue herself.
Probably, this is the simplest life, which seems boring, but every glass of boiled water has its own taste.
Lou Li and his chest were leaning against the wall, and in front of them were green branches swaying back and forth.

In the evening, Yu Shuye was forced to ask by Qin Kui as soon as he got home, but he did not relay Mingqiao's words, so as not to make Qin Kui angry, and he would suffer at that time, "Mingqiao said that there was a problem between them, and there was no one who was right or wrong, probably just fate." β
Qin Kui couldn't find a reason to be angry when he heard this, and no one could have any rebellion against this deliberately arranged regret from God.
"Well, I'm so worried about Rikazu, you don't know, she's really a nice person. Qin Kui sighed, "She is a little cold, but as long as Mingqiao is patient, Lihe will be the most desperate lover, she is the most loyal, lovely, and simple girl in the eyes of men." β
Yu Shuye didn't understand why Qin Kui was so concerned about Lou Lihe's affairs, and said perfunctorily, "Since she is so good, there will always be men who are discerning, you can rest assured." β
Qin Kui shook his head, "You don't know her well, you don't know, how many people pursued Lihe when she was in college, but she didn't agree, I can see that she has someone in her heart, so later I heard that she promised Mingqiao You can't imagine how happy I am, I'm happy that she finally came out..."
"Wait, you mean, Lou Li and once had a boyfriend?" Yu Shuye asked.
Qin Kui said: "I don't know, Lihe never said it, it's just that I have a bedroom with her, and I can feel it." β
A girl, thinking in her heart, thinking of a person, how can she not be noticed, that is love, is missing, just like the wind by the river, although it is invisible, but the leaves are blown, it is evidence that the wind has existed.
Traces of love can be forgotten but not denied.
"It seems that what Mingqiao said makes a lot of sense. β
Qin Kui didn't know and asked, "What did Mingqiao say?"
"He asked me if Lou Li had a boyfriend before. β
Qin Kui stood up suddenly, only feeling a little dizzy, her body shook, Yu Shuye hurriedly supported her, but when she eased up, she pushed her husband away, pointed at his nose and scolded: "How can he say this? He is suspicious of pear and half-hearted! You dare to hide it from me!"
Yu Shuye knew that his wife would be angry when he said it, but he couldn't help it: "Xiaokui, maybe you don't know Lou Lihe, you see that you don't know her past, so why do you believe in her loyalty?"
Yu Shuye's words undoubtedly added fuel to the fire, Qin Kui immediately glared at him, turned around and entered the bedroom, and slammed the door slammed.
Yu Shuye could only face the deserted living room alone.
Brother, buddy is really offended by your wife for you.

Jiulianwei, this is a picturesque place, especially in summer, the swallow song of the warbler, the green slope, the shade is suitable.
This is the material point of many movies, but every time you enter the mountain, it will take a lot of effort, but this time Yan Ziyu spent a lot of effort to hire someone to build a shooting site.
"Are you planning to shoot a big location?"
Ji Xinliang took the car to the staff dormitory, went to see the shooting location again, pointed to various tracks and shelves and asked Yan Ziyu.
Yan Ziyu nodded, "I've always liked this, you know." β
Ji Xinliang said: "Is this going to use this movie to win another award?"
"Winning the award is just a surprise, just the icing on the cake, what I want, has always been in my heart. Yan Ziyu straightened his chest, but unfortunately his thin appearance could not express his strong inner ambition.
"Are you still such a utopia," Ji Xinliang glanced at him lightly, retracted his gaze, and said, "You can live until now, it is really God's favor, most people like you have starved to death on the so-called dream chasing road." β
Yan Ziyu said with a smile: "Hey, Ji Xinliang, not everyone has the right to choose like you, and not everyone is like you, both forward and backward are just choices, if people like us don't die on the road of chasing dreams, how can they rest in peace? I admit that money is very important, without money I can't rent a venue, I can't pay my salary, and I can't have any work. But people always have things that they care about more, or things that they care about as much as they care about money. Only in this way can you not be confused and not hesitate, this is the difference between people and other creatures. β
Ji Xinliang looked at Yan Ziyu, he didn't judge right or wrong, for him, there are still many troublesome problems that he needs to solve, such as trying it on impulse at the beginning, but now it seems that he can't get rid of the shackles, so he doesn't know which direction to go.
Yan Ziyu took in Ji Xinliang's appearance, he knew Ji Xinliang very well, although this person was young, he was a very mature person, and he understood what was most important, but it was precisely this kind of maturity that reflected a kind of immaturity, he lacked a kind of childish courage, just like the sentence "Why don't you play with me", only naΓ―ve children will be said, but it is a clear understanding of their own emotions, it is the calmness brought by naivety, and it is childish loneliness.
And this is exactly what Ji Xinliang lost unconsciously.
When Yan Ziyu first met Ji Xinliang, he was struggling with his studies, not that he was not good at studying, on the contrary, he was a figure on the spire among medical students, and everyone knew it, so who would have thought that such a person would not like medicine? No one would believe it, because people's interest will continue to swell because of praise, and success and the eyes of everyone will become the driving force behind people's development.
"Ji Xinliang, if you don't like medicine in the first place, why do you choose Lingbei University School of Medicine?" Yan Ziyu asked the doubts in his heart.
Ji Xinliang sighed, "Yan Ziyu, I'm just an ordinary person, and I will also have the habitual thinking of ordinary people, when you think that I should stand in the research field like my father and my brother, I also thought that I was like this, but unfortunately, this is a mistake." β
Yan Ziyu asked: "Then why don't you just drop out of school? Why go back and make up for your credits? Do you still lack that graduation certificate?"
"I'm lacking," Ji Xinliang smiled mischievously, "I can't be a man who only has a high school diploma." What does that make my fans think of me?"
Hearing this, Yan Ziyu was a little helpless, he didn't expect Ji Xinliang to have idol baggage, he could only spread his hands helplessly: "What's wrong with you?
Ji Xinliang thought for a while and replied seriously: "Yan Ziyu, in my opinion, caring about other people's eyes is just as important as being free and easy, if you don't even care about other people's eyes, people will make mistakes, and there is no basic bottom line and rules." β
"Do you want to discuss philosophical issues with me?" Yan Ziyu frowned, "These words are not like what you said. β
Ji Xinliang sighed, "Well, I didn't say it, it was someone else's thing, I just learned my tongue." β
"Who said that?," Yan Ziyu touched his chin, "Introduce me to him." β
"She? She has left Lingbei a long time ago, and she may not come back for the rest of her life. Ji Xinliang said, "You won't see it." β
"Really? That's a shame. β
Yes, it's a pity, especially for Ji Xinliang.
This person may only be a passerby, but the timing of this person's appearance is very critical, because it is related to the direction of life, and it is a beacon of destiny, which is enough to dispel all confusion.
