Chapter 10 Destiny is Short, Old Age is Approaching
The nightmare a few days ago seemed to be a warning from heaven to Hou Jing. Heaven is telling him that only by having a pure heart and few desires can he keep his body strong and healthy.
Since the nightmare, Hou Jing had to keep to himself, and no longer dared to be reckless, let alone reckless. When he was with Siya, he also followed the rules and was polite to Siya. In Siya's opinion, Hou Jing was a little polite and cold to her.
However, she didn't ask Hou Jing about the reason, let alone mess with him. After all, neither of them had any intention of going against each other. At present, the lukewarm relationship between the two may be the most suitable distance between the two.
After keeping a distance from Siya, Hou Jing looked at Xiaoqing again and felt that she was even more cute and amiable. Hou Jing began to love Xiaoqing wholeheartedly again. They also loved each other as usual.
Somehow, Hou Jing became more and more sleepy, sleeping before ten o'clock at night, and not getting up until after seven o'clock in the morning. I also have to take a lunch break for more than an hour at noon. As a result, he had to sleep almost half a day a day.
However, his sleep effect is not good, he often has insomnia and dreams, wakes up in the middle of the night, and has to wait at least another hour to fall asleep when he wakes up. Without sleep, he couldn't keep up his spirits when he was working. But he couldn't give up his work and sleep all day. Therefore, it was very distressing for him.
One night, Hou Jing lay in bed and couldn't sleep. This is because he has one thing in mind that he is always at ease. Before going to bed, Siya called him and asked him to drink together.
Listening to her tone, she seemed to be unhappy about something. Hou Jing also knew that she needed to be comforted. However, he did not want to be the comforter of this kind. He and Xiaoqing are boating on the calm river of love, and he doesn't want to stir up waves on the river of love, let alone be swept into the turbid current of endless right and wrong.
At ten o'clock, Siya called again. The bell kept ringing, but Hou Jing didn't answer the phone for a long time. The noisy ringing of the bell woke up Xiaoqing, who had just fallen asleep.
"Your phone. ”
"Ah?!" Hou Jing was startled at first, and then hurriedly hung up the phone as if he was a thief.
"Who called?"
"One of my fellows. Hou Jing was already calm when he spoke, and he couldn't tell that he was lying at all.
"Is there anything wrong with him?"
"He called me in the afternoon and said that he would come to Hohhot in the evening and asked me to pick him up. But I forgot about it. ”
"There must have been something urgent when he called so late. Hurry up and go. ”
"That's good. I went out. You'll just go to sleep alone. If it's too late, I'll stay outside. You take care of yourself. ”
"Let's go. I'll be fine. ”
Hou Jing left the residence and walked down the street. The words he had just said still rang in his ears. He didn't know how he could lie to his girlfriend who loved him so much without changing his face and heartbeat. Qi Xiaoqing still believes in him like that. The cool breeze and the rustling of the leaves seemed to question his conscience.
Hou Jing also wanted to turn around immediately. However, if he went back at this time, Xiaoqing would definitely have doubts about his hasty departure and sudden return, and his lies would be revealed.
Since you can't turn back, you have to keep going, or you have to stay on the streets at night and endure the cool breeze. "I just did it to help one of my subordinates, a fellow countryman, a friend, and nothing else. ”
He repeatedly persuaded himself so that he could go on firmly. In order not to expose his lies and for the safety of his friends, he had to go on without hesitation.
