Chapter 25: The Rupture
1
Zhao Qingfang hurriedly walked out of the inpatient department after the outside was already dark, even if there was a neon light, Zhao Qingfang couldn't find the direction, his eyes swept left and right a few times, still couldn't find Meng Lianghua's figure, he really disappeared in the crowd, Zhao Qingfang walked on the road, the biting cold wind was even more raging, but at this time Zhao Qingfang had no intention of estimating the cold, she hurriedly dialed Meng Lianghua's phone, but no one answered on the other end of the phone, so Zhao Qingfang looked back and forth in the inpatient department of the hospital and still didn't see Meng Lianghua's figure, and when he dialed the phone again, the phone had already shown that it was turned offγ
This made Zhao Qingfang even more anxious, being in a hurry and anxious would only make him lose his direction, so Zhao Qingfang slowly took two deep breaths to calm down his heart as much as possible, and then dialed Zhao's mother's phone.
"Mom, has Meng Lianghua gone back?" Zhao Qingfang asked pretending to be calm.
"No, did you pick him up?
"Oh, no, he happened to have his phone turned off when I came and didn't find him, I guess his phone was out of battery, okay, I'll look for it again, oh, by the way, Mom, I may come back later, you can eat alone." β
"It's okay, I'll wait for you to come back and eat together. β
"No need, it's late, we'll eat out. β
After Zhao Qingfang finished speaking, she took the initiative to hang up the phone without waiting for Zhao's mother to respond, she was afraid that her mother would ask Lu Trap more. After hanging up the phone, Zhao Qingfang's heart sank, although as expected, Meng Lianghua did not go back to his home, but he was still very sad, and now Zhao Qingfang can find only one place - the rental house that Meng Lianghua and Liang Bo shared.
Zhao Qingfang had no choice but to rush there, at this time suddenly a light rain floated in the sky, making this cold night even colder, and soon Zhao Qingfang came to the rental house, but no one answered when he kept knocking on the door, and Zhao Qingfang had no choice but to dial Liang Bo's phone.
It's a pity that Liang Bo is not at home, and now he is going out with Ni Nan to spend the New Year, Zhao Qing simply told Liang Bo about what happened to him before hanging up the phone, hoping that Liang Bo could help him explain to Meng Lianghua.
Before leaving, Zhao Qingfang knocked on the door again, but no one answered, all the possibilities were searched, and Meng Lianghua was not found, Zhao Qingfang had nothing to do.
In desperation, Zhao Qingfang was the only one who left sadly, along the way Zhao Qingfang thought about what had just happened, what had happened to Meng Lianghua these days, and thought about Meng Lianghua's actions, and a look in his eyes couldn't help but leave tears.
The wind blew through the tips of Zhao Qingfang's hair, and the crystal small snowflakes fell on Zhao Qingfang's hands and shoulders, and then slowly melted, and then infiltrated into her body, the cold air continued to spread, and Zhao Qingfang's heart followed the first in winter
The snow is slowly getting colder.

In order to avoid Zhao's mother worrying, Zhao Qingfang just told her that Meng Lianghua couldn't get off work because he was busy with work, and the two of them ate out and came back. After explaining, Zhao Qingfang hid in the room alone and never came out again.
Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, Zhao Qingfang has been trying to contact Meng Lianghua for a few days after the New Year, she urgently needs to explain the misunderstanding to Meng Lianghua, but the phone has been turned off, and she has not replied to WeChat, Zhao Qingfang has not died at work, she has been either on the phone, or thinking about things, and hurried to the hospital as soon as she got off work, but maybe Meng Lianghua was deliberately avoiding herself, and no one else was in the department when she got off work, not to say that she was in surgery, or she was off work.
Zhao Qingfang was very anxious, just in time for the Spring Festival, and was about to have a holiday, and if he couldn't find it, it would be a long time to put it on hold.
Zhao Qingfang didn't know who to tell when such a thing happened, only to find Ni Nan to vent the bitterness in his heart, but Ni Nan and Liang Bo both knew Meng Lianghua's temperament, he was indeed an honest and introverted person, but this character also has a common problem that is a very stubborn person, not flexible enough, it is difficult to change the things he identifies, even Liang Bo has explained to Meng Lianghua, but it still has no effect, he still doesn't want to see Zhao Qingfang, because he instantly feels that his love is tainted by something that shouldn't be, even if it's just a misunderstanding, but in his eyes it's also a stain, everything only time can slowly make him figure it out, Zhao Qingfang listened to Ni Nan's persuasion, and stopped looking for him, let him be quiet.
Chinese New Year's Eve, in Zhao Qingfanglai's memory, it should be that every house is brightly lit, flowers are everywhere, every household firecrackers are sounded, and every household sticks Spring Festival, the street is full of scenes of children frolicking around, after eating New Year's dinner in the evening, the family gets together to celebrate the arrival of the new year, watch the Spring Festival Gala together, observe the New Year together, and accompany Dad to set off a New Year's firecracker at 12 o'clock in the evening.
But this kind of Spring Festival seems to be no longer since the death of my father, now the Spring Festival is with my mother every year, and since my mother followed me to Linzhou to work and rent a house after college, the Spring Festival is in the city, and most people in the city will be in their hometown when they arrive at such a festival, the city seems to be unusually deserted, and there is no New Year's flavor, although there are only two people in these years, Zhao Qingfang will also buy some fireworks to make her mother and her own Spring Festival more New Year's flavor, but this year's Spring Festival seems to be cold because of Meng Lianghua's cold warγ
Originally, Zhao Qingfang went to buy vegetables early on the Chinese New Year's Eve day, this year because she was looking for her mother's illness, so she did not go, after 2 times of chemotherapy, the pain was somewhat relieved, but the whole person's mental state was not very good, it happened that the weather was relatively cold, although she woke up early, but Zhao's mother did not get up, but moved the quilt to the sofa, covered with a thick quilt on the sofa, sometimes opened her eyes to watch TV, and sometimes squinted.
Seeing that Zhao Qingfang had not gone out at 9 o'clock, he urged Zhao Qingfang to hurry up to buy vegetables and buy New Year's goods, although there are not many people, but this year's Spring Festival is more special, and a new member of the family has to be like a year, in addition, I have long heard that Meng Lianghua's Chinese New Year's Eve is scheduled for this day, and the hospital can only officially take a holiday after work at night, although I don't expect this new member to be able to keep the New Year with them, but this year can still be spent together at noon, so she is also very excited, but she does not know the "cold war" between her daughter and Dr. Meng , is still urging her daughter to buy New Year's goods as soon as possible, go home early to prepare the New Year's dinner at noon, and then wait for the first year with this "future son-in-law".
Zhao Qingfang didn't want to disappoint her mother, nor did she want her mother to be sad because of her own affairs, so she continued the same white lie before.
"Oh, Mom... I forgot to tell you, he transferred shifts with his colleagues today, and went home for the New Year after handing over work in the morning. β
"Not coming!" Zhao's mother replied with some disappointment.
"Then when will he come back?" Zhao's mother continued to ask.
Zhao Qingfang didn't know, she didn't know anything about Meng Lianghua's whereabouts at all, he had made an appointment to go home with him after his duty in the fourth year of junior high school, but now it seems unrealistic, how do I know when he will return to Linzhou.
Zhao Qingfang was stunned to think about her own affairs, and did not have the heart to answer Zhao's mother's words.
"You kid, what kind of god is your mother asking you, when will Xiao Meng come back?"
"Oh... Maybe it's the fourth year of junior high school. β
"Then you can call him to come home for dinner in the fourth year of junior high school. β
"People are very busy on duty during the Spring Festival, and they can't go to the hospital. Zhao Qingfang knew that Meng Lianghua had not forgiven himself yet, and the meal was far away, so she took the initiative to find an excuse to prevaricate her mother.
"Oh... The hospital is so busy for the New Year!" Zhao's mother didn't ask any more questions after listening, and continued to lie on the sofa and watch the old TV playing the Spring Festival Gala sketches over the years.
When Zhao Qingfang was about to go out, he didn't forget to instruct: "Xiaofang, then Xiao Meng won't come to buy less food." β

After the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, it is usually the same, sending New Year's greetings to everyone, including Meng Lianghua, in fact, she just wants to inadvertently attract Meng Lianghua's attention through such a forwarded text message, even if he forgot himself at this festive moment of the New Year, this text message is also a small reminder, this is Zhao Qingfang's careful thinking.
It's just that Zhao Qingfang, who has been waiting for the text message, did not get any reply from the other party, knowing that when the Spring Festival Gala ended, Meng Lianghua's text message.
SMS: I know you've come to me these days, but I don't know how to face you, I've been thinking a lot about it these days, thinking about how we started, thinking about the days we've been together these days, maybe our relationship is really developing too fast, I'm a slow person, I need more time to settle down, think about it slowly, the events of that day proved everything, we don't know each other well enough, at least I really don't know much about your past, we all need to be quiet, let's not contact each other for now. I want to calm down for a while, and you can think about it too.
Zhao Qingfang is also a person with strong self-esteem in her bones, such words made her speechless, and he didn't even have a chance to explain to himself, such desperation also made Zhao Qingfang very cold.
This text message came in time and was so untimely, the content was like thunder for Zhao Qingfang, this relationship was the first time she really understood love, perceived love, it was so beautiful, it was so real, but such a beautiful love was so short, it would come to an abrupt end in such a misunderstanding, just like a dream and wake up into nothing.
In this way, the two of them completely calmed down, and as they said, there was no more contact, and everything before was really like a dream, and it was over.
It was originally scheduled that Zhao's mother needed to go for chemotherapy after the Lantern Festival, but after more than half a month of no contact, Meng Lianghua finally came with a message, but the content of the message was about letting Zhao's mother go to chemotherapy even if she went to chemotherapy, without mentioning his private affairs with Zhao Qingfang, Zhao Qingfang also consciously contacted Liang Bo, and officially transferred Zhao's mother, who was supposed to go to the oncology department for chemotherapy, to the oncology department, and really no longer had much to do with Meng Lianghua.
Such a clean and neat handling made Meng Lianghua's text message too redundant, and he also only replied: "Oh, then I wish Auntie a speedy recovery!"
