Chapter 224: A Gentle Journey to His Hometown
Zheng Jiayue's words were quickly drowned out in the sound of rain hitting the ground as the rain increased.
But every word she just spoke, every word, seemed to have turned into a tattoo and imprinted on my heart.
I hugged her tightly with some distress, and I could feel my neck. It also became wet...
That's not rain.. It was her tears...
Or it can also be said .. It's all her tears...
She and I hugged each other so tightly that we were all drowned in her tears...
Later, I can't remember exactly when the separation began...
When she came back to her senses, she had already followed Zheng Jiayue upstairs and sat on the chair in the living room where she lived in embarrassment.
I was like a stray child, picked up by Zheng Jiayue and brought home.
At this time, she went into the bathroom and took out a towel, which she threw to me. Then he sat down in front of me and said with a shallow smile
"There's only this towel left, Xiao Xiaoming, I usually use it to wipe my feet, you don't mind, do you?"
Hearing Zheng Jiayue say this, I raised my head and looked at her... Then he spoke
"I've been poured like this by the rain you summoned, and you still bring me a footcloth, and you're still not human?"
My words made Zheng Jiayue smile, she stood up and shook her head, and then spoke again
"Lie to you.. That's how I washed my face. You wipe it first.. I'll go take a shower first.."
After saying this, Zheng Jiayue turned around, ran back to her bedroom, took a few clothes, and then walked into the bathroom on the side.
I looked at the bathroom door closed, looked at the towel in my hand, and sighed softly.
At this time, I didn't know what kind of mood I was in, and my vocabulary was limited, so I couldn't describe it well.
In short, it should be considered numbness..
I always feel that everything I am experiencing now is like a dream, and maybe the next second, maybe the next blink of an eye, I will jump back in space to a certain clip before...
However, I sat alone in the chair for a long time, and this kind of thing still did not happen...
At this time, I stood up, wiped my hair with a towel, and walked aimlessly around her house.
It's still the same as the last time I came, and it seems to be the same as the layout I saw the last time I came here.
There is the cleanliness of the house where girls live, and there is also the fragrance that girls should have.
The only thing is still quirky .. It's still a breath of loneliness...
It seems that every corner can make people feel that lonely feeling, as if every item can make people feel her lonely figure on weekdays.
With this in mind, I walked to the window and looked out through it.
Heavy rain... The city has finally quieted down in the rain...
The city, covered in dust and intrigue, is finally getting cleaner...
When I was a child, the capital has always been the kind of place where the lights are bright and all the homes are thriving.
When I grew up and came here, I realized that the oppressive feeling of the city in it was very overwhelming.
So I love the prosperity of this city, but I hate the depression of this city.
Thinking of this, my heart suddenly realized...
I don't seem to be home in a long time...
I've been.. It's been a long time since I've been home.
I haven't seen my parents for a long time, I haven't seen my parents for a long time, and I've returned to the place where I grew up little by little.
The moment I thought of home, a sense of exhaustion that I had never felt before welled up in my heart.
All of a sudden I felt tired, all of a sudden I felt like I... Too tired..
I even wonder why I'm going to hold on here, doubt myself... Why should a stubborn person stay in the big city of Beijing?
This is not mine, and I may not be here...
When I thought of this, I looked at the towel in my hand... Then he turned around and walked slowly to the bathroom door.
After standing at the door of the bathroom, I quickly heard the sound of running water inside.
Through the polished glass, it seems that the outline of Zheng Jiayue inside can be vaguely seen.
This made my cheeks blush inexplicably, and after thinking about it, I knocked lightly on the bathroom door.
The sound of knock knock is particularly loud in a quiet room.
I could see the blurred outline on the glass swaying for a moment, and then the sound of running water in the bathroom also stopped.
A moment later, Zheng Jiayue's voice came from inside
"What are you doing? What are you doing standing in the bathroom doorway.. You.."
"I'm going to call someone~!"
Hearing Zheng Jiayue's panicked tone, I couldn't help but smile, I paused, and still opened my mouth to say to the glass on the door
"You're thinking too much, I didn't mean to spy on you... I'm just.."
"I feel like I should go back... So I'll tell you a blow.."
After finishing speaking, there was silence in the bathroom again, and I stood there in a daze, and suddenly felt that the wheel hub that I vaguely saw was getting closer and closer to me.
This made me a little flustered, and before I could come back to my senses, I felt the bathroom door suddenly open...
It was just a simple gap, but it still surprised me by taking a small step back.
After taking a step back, as soon as I stood firmly, I saw Zheng Jiayue leaning out a small half of her face, looking at me with straight eyes and asking
"Are you leaving... Xiao Xiaoming.."
I can vaguely see that her hair is still wet, and her half-exposed fragrant shoulders also remind me that she is now... I am naked..
Realizing this, I blushed again inexplicably, and I was stunned for a moment, then looked at her and nodded, and spoke
"Hmm.. Never go back.. It's too late, and it's even harder to go.."
Hearing me say this, a trace of loss flashed on Zheng Jiayue's face, she hesitated for a moment, but still spoke again with some unwillingness
"If you can't go back... It doesn't matter to stay here for one night... Anyway.."
"You've stayed there once, haven't you?"
Zheng Jiayue's tone was pitiful when she said this, and it was clear that she didn't want me to go.
And I heard the meaning of her words, and naturally there were small ripples in my heart, but I hesitated for a while, but I slowly shook my head and said
"No... I'm going back.. I'm going back.."
I don't know where I'm going to go back. But I couldn't help it, so I said it twice..
After hearing me say this, Zheng Jiayue's face also showed a trace of strangeness, I saw her look at me and think about it, and finally moved her mouth and said softly
"Okay .. That.. There's an umbrella in the shoe cabinet at the door, I'll give it to you.."
Hearing Zheng Jiayue say this, I shook my head again, I smiled at her reluctantly, and then spoke
"No need, I don't have an umbrella anymore, it's like this anyway, let's go back like this.. Keep your umbrella for if it rains tomorrow. I'm leaving.. You go ahead and take a shower, I'll close the door for you... That.."
"Goodbye.."
While saying this, I waved my hand at Zheng Jiayue, signaling her to continue to close the door and take a bath...
And Zheng Jiayue still poked half of her head to look at me... It wasn't until I walked out of the door that she closed the bathroom door again.
I took a deep breath when I saw her close the door, and then closed her door as well.
The moment the door closed, it was as if two worlds were separated.
The outside hallway is surprisingly cold inside.. I instinctively rubbed my arm with my hand. Then I walked down the stairs slowly.
After going downstairs and out of the hallway, the rain was still so heavy...
I instinctively glanced at the place where I was hugging Zheng Jiayue just now, and at that moment, there seemed to be a picture of myself hugging her in my eyes...
But soon I shook my head again and rushed into the rain...
The rain is cold, but it doesn't cool my heart...
Although it attracted a lot of strange eyes along the way, for me... It doesn't matter anymore..
There are so many embarrassed people in the world, and I am just one of them.
By the time I got home in a trance, I couldn't tell what time it was.
It was always dark because of the rain, and it wasn't until I went upstairs that I saw through the glass that the street lights outside were on.
It's late, I didn't expect it to be today, it's already evening..
I entered the room and simply straightened myself up, then sat back down on the couch with a slump of money.
Once I calmed down, everything that happened today was like a movie, and it began to play back before my eyes.
It was a bit painful for me because today was a very painful day for me.
I sat alone on the couch for a long time, thinking about a lot of things...
In the end, I took out my big Nokia, thought about it, and dialed Chen Yanyu's phone...
When I called, I was surprisingly calm.
In other words, I was asked to call Chen Yanyu on weekdays, and I was already scared to pee before the phone was connected, but this time, I was calm and even a little surprised by myself..
Sure enough, after the phone rang a few times, it was quickly connected... Immediately afterwards, Chen Yanyu's voice was heard coming from the phone.
"What's wrong Wang Ming.. Is there something going on?"
It's not a very cold tone, obviously still a little concerned..
After hearing Chen Yanyu's voice, I suddenly hesitated, and after thinking about it, I still opened my mouth and said into the phone
"Mr. Chen.. I.. I have something to do and would like to take a few days off from you.."
"I want to go home."
I still had mixed feelings when I said this, but in all fairness, my real thoughts at this moment were that I wanted to get out of here.
I'm a little.. Confused... It can also be said that I want to escape from here.
I thought Chen Yanyu would ask me to take a few days off.. As a result, there was silence on the phone for a while, and then Chen Yanyu's voice came again.
"Yes.. I wanted you to rest for a few days, right... Adjust yourself... When will it be good.. When will I be back to work.."
I didn't expect Chen Yanyu to agree so simply on the phone, so I was stunned with my phone for a while.
It was a long time before I spoke into my phone again
"Thank you, Mr. Chen, I know."
Chen Yanyu on the phone said, "Hmm.." responded to me, and then hung up.
I heard the sound of hanging up on the phone for a while, then lowered my phone, flipped out the phone at home and called...
The call was answered quickly, and I heard the voice I knew best.
I told my parents that I wanted to go home and rest for two days, and I seemed to see the smiling faces of my parents on the other end of the phone over the phone.
Soon my parents asked me when I was going back. I took my phone and looked at the rain that was still falling outside, and then spoke
: "Tomorrow.. I'll go back tomorrow.."
After talking to my parents, I hung up the phone and immediately began to pack up briefly.
Because I haven't been home for a long time, I feel like I still have to bring some luggage back.
But I cleaned up for a long time and found that I didn't seem to have anything to take back...
It seems that my parents have always had no expectations for me, and it seems that I can just go back alive...
Thinking of this, I simply didn't clean it up, but fortunately, my home is not very far from Beijing, and there is generally no traffic jam, and it takes about 2 hours to arrive by bus..
Thinking of this, I lay back in bed alone, thinking that I would not be able to sleep all night, but I didn't expect that it would not be long before I fell asleep in a daze.
Probably too tired.. It's too sad...
I've found that sleeping is really a great way to relieve depressed moods...
When I woke up, everything seemed to be fine...
I slept soundly, but when I woke up, it was still raining outside. And there is no intention of stopping.
I hesitated when I saw the rain outside, but no matter how heavy the rain was, there was nothing to stop me from going home...
I simply grabbed some groceries and then carried my bag and prepared to go home.
However, just as I was packing my bags and getting ready to go out, suddenly there was a call from the door... A gentle knock on the door...
Hearing this knock, I was instinctively stunned, and I couldn't help but think of Yu Qianlai.
Usually at this time, it should be Yu Qian who knocks on me...
At this time, I don't know why, I suddenly have a feeling that I don't want to open the door...
I don't want to see Yu Qian... At this time, I... I don't want to see Yu Qian..
It's not out of some nasty or something... It's just that I think if I see Yu Qian... I'm going to be sad again...
After all, something like that happened yesterday, how could I not be sad?
Thinking of this, I silently stopped the action of packing up my things in my hands, and quietly waited for the knock on the door to disappear...
However, what I didn't expect was that the knock on the door had been sounding for a long time without any intention of stopping, which made me a little impatient to see..
After a moment, I hesitated, but I couldn't help but walk to the door and slowly open the door.
As a result, I was stunned as soon as the door opened, because the person standing outside the door now was not Yu Qian... But.. Zheng Jiayue..
After seeing me open the door, Zheng Jiayue tilted her head, then looked at me again and asked
"What are you doing~ Are you deaf Xiao Xiaoming.. Why did it take so long to open the door.."
Hearing Zheng Jiayue say this, I just came back from the shock a little, I looked at her, and asked a little incredulously
"You.. Why are you here?"
As soon as the words fell, I saw Zheng Jiayue raise her hand, and at this time I noticed that she had a small umbrella in her hand... She raised her hand and shook the other bag in her hand and spoke
"Whew.. Your coat: Yesterday you forgot to take it with you..."
Hearing Zheng Jiayue say this, I came back to my senses, and scolded in my heart, no wonder it was so cold on the way back yesterday, it turned out that I forgot my coat, and she didn't say that I really didn't remember..
At this point, I paused, took the bag from her hand, and at the same time stepped away and spoke
"Hmm.. That's it.. Then you come in first.."
As soon as she finished speaking, Zheng Jiayue followed me to my house. After coming in, Zheng Jiayue first looked around, and then her eyes fell on my luggage.
I saw a trace of doubt flash in her eyes, and then I heard her ask
"Xiao Xiaoming, are you cleaning up the house~?"
When she asked me like this, I looked along my backpack... I thought about it, but I shook my head and said truthfully
"No.. I.. I'm ready to go back to my hometown.. That's just packed up.."
My words suddenly made Zheng Jiayue's expression even more surprised, I saw her look at me in disbelief, and after a while, she asked nervously
: "Back .. What are you going to do back to your hometown? You.. Xiao Xiaoming, aren't you going to work?"
Zheng Jiayue's nervous expression moved me a little, I looked at her, shook my head and said
: "No.. I'm on leave.. Recent.. I feel a little tired, and I haven't been home in a long time. So I'm going to go home and have a look.. My home is not far from Beijing, and the car ride is quite fast. It's not bad to rest and rest.."
My words made Zheng Jiayue's expression a little better, and I saw that she was relieved at first, but soon looked at me again and asked
"Really, you've taken a leave of absence... And you.."
"How long will you stay when you go back? When will I come back..."
Zheng Jiayue's large number of questions made me instantly not know which one to answer... I looked at her like this for a moment, then finally smiled and spoke
: "This... I can't say clearly.. In a word.. Let's go back and talk about it first.."
Maybe my tone was too flat, Zheng Jiayue's expression on her face quickly changed after hearing me say this, she seemed to have something to say, but she hesitated for a long time and didn't say it.
After a long while, Zheng Jiayue looked at me and said with a serious expression as if she had suddenly made up her mind
"Or..." Xiao Xiaoming, take me home."
"I... I also want to go for a walk, you can take me to your hometown to see..."
Zheng Jiayue's eyes were a little dodgy when she said this, she was a little weak-hearted and didn't dare to look at me...
And I was stunned by what she said, I looked at her... I didn't come back to my senses for a while..
Until Zheng Jiayue raised her head, looked at me again, and asked timidly
"Can't you..." Xiao Xiaoming.." Afterwards.
I sobered up a little and watched her stammer
"Huh? You're going back to my hometown with me.?"
Zheng Jiayue nodded and repeated the question just now
"No.."
Her tone was pitiful, not like she was asking me, but like she was begging me...
I didn't expect her to say that all of a sudden, so I couldn't make up my mind for a while...
This.. If you want to take her home... There doesn't seem to be a problem either.. It's just that.. Is that really good? How to say that she is also a girl... Just follow me home.. Wouldn't it be inconvenient or something..
As a result, seeing that I seemed to be hesitating, Zheng Jiayue immediately moved her mouth again, and then spoke
"Okay, okay, if you don't speak, you'll be acquiescing.. It just so happens that the exhibition is over, and I don't have anything to do in the past few days.. Take me with you."
Hearing Zheng Jiayue say this, I looked at her again, I frowned, thought about it and said
"Uhhh But where I am... It's a small county town.. There's nothing fun either... You.."
As a result, before I finished my words, I heard Zheng Jiayue speak
"It's okay.. I'll just just walk around.. Just as.. Traveled: Anyway.. So it was decided!"
Zheng Jiayue seems to have an iron heart... I'm going to go home with me.
When I saw her like this, I felt a dilemma in my heart for a while, and I thought about it and said it again
"But... Do I want to go back with you to pack up or something? Otherwise..."
Before I finished speaking, I was interrupted again..
"I'm not going to clean up... Just follow you straight away.. Anyway.. Didn't you say it's not far away... All right.. Don't be wordy.. Let's go, Xiao Xiaoming.. Take me to your house~"
Zheng Jiayue's words made me speechless, I was a little painful, but again. A little powerless to fight against it.
After a long while, I sighed and spoke
"Okay, let's talk about it first.. If.. If you think it's boring... Don't complain... It's something you have to follow."
Seeing that I agreed, Zheng Jiayue immediately showed a good-looking smile again, only to see her nod hard, and then spoke
"Okay... I certainly wouldn't have said that... That's.. Let's go.. You lead the way.. I'll follow you~"
After saying this, Zheng Jiayue also picked up the luggage on the side and handed it to me, and then dragged me towards the door.
I saw Zheng Jiayue so excited, and suddenly there was a warm feeling in my heart, and I looked at her beside me... After sighing softly, he walked downstairs with her.
After going downstairs, Zheng Jiayue held up her small umbrella... That umbrella mini is terrible.. I don't even suspect that I can't even cover my eggs...
As a result, Zheng Jiayue didn't seem to notice it at all, she looked at me happily and asked
"You don't have an umbrella, Xiao Xiaoming~ that.. Let's get an umbrella.."
