Chapter 224: If only you were there
Speaking of that, it's not her who should ask!
"You ask me who I suspect? I think, I should ask you, right? Whoever you suspect, go and ask! I think that Rong Yunxi and Tao Yiling should know better than me. I'm just an outsider, and I'm just curious, so I asked Lao Bai. ”
Xue Yihuai disagreed: "It's not important to be curious, the important thing is to investigate this kind of thing, you shouldn't do it." ”
Nian Nian looked at him in surprise: "What does this mean, I don't understand. ”
Xue Yihuai was silent, called Chen Qi up, and helped Wei Jian to leave. She naturally followed Chen Qi in a gloomy manner, but Xue Yihuai grabbed her: "This way!"
Nian Nian sneered: "Mr. Xue, I still personally send my boss home, I am more relieved." ”
Xue Yihuai couldn't help but say that he hadn't sat beside him for a long time. There was silence in the carriage, the atmosphere was too oppressive, and she turned on the music. As before, she was used to turning her head to look out the window and not look at him.
In silence, he suddenly spoke: "I used to think that Yan Fei had some other plans for you, but now it seems that this idea is really ridiculous. ”
Nian Nian didn't look back, but frowned: "It's so dignified, why did you pull Brother Yan in again?" was also shot while lying down, Yan Fei was really innocent.
Xue Yihuai chuckled: "Pull him in? Hasn't he always been among us? It turns out that coming back from the dead is not nonsense, and He Chongfei is the best example." ”
Nian Nian looked back at him in shock: "You...... What do you say?"
Xue Yihuai always smiled and didn't answer at a critical time, or he just looked at him left and right: "Don't worry, I shouldn't be in front of you recently." ”
There is no beginning or end to these words, and Nian Nian can't even answer.
After a while, she understood this. Xue Yihuai really seemed to have evaporated from her life, and she never appeared again, and she didn't even hear her name mentioned again.
It's just that she heard that Rong Yunxi is divorced. This is a coincidental matter, Liang Yan and Ning Rushan rushed to the Civil Affairs Bureau in a hurry to ask for evidence, but they didn't expect to meet Zhong Zixing and Rong Yunxi, who went to go through the divorce procedures so early.
I heard that Rong Yunxi had a color on her face again, wearing a pair of big sunglasses, but she couldn't cover the bruises on her face. And Zhong Zixing is not much better, there are several scratches on his face, which are very conspicuous.
When Ning Rushan told her about this, she was obviously a little gloating. But after gloating, I was a little worried. The thing that worries is naturally because Rong Yunxi regrets this divorce, and always thinks that she will find Xue Yihuai.
Ning Rushan understands her sisters, and she says that it doesn't matter, but in fact, she hasn't let him go after being divorced for so long. It's not good to say, I still have a trace of luck in my heart to be able to remarry.
When Nian Nian heard that Rong Yunxi was divorced, her heart was indeed dull. The last time I saw Xue Yihuai in Lenovo, what he said, I couldn't help but smile bitterly. There shouldn't be so many coincidences in the world, Xue Yihuai just told her that he wouldn't appear in front of her recently, and then she heard the news of Rong Yunxi's divorce.
Was it really a malicious premeditation, or was it a trick of fate?
Either way, Nian Nian forced himself not to think about it anymore. It's not good to say, it won't be long before she may receive a wedding invitation from Xue Yihuai and Rong Yunxi. Rather than being difficult to accept at that time, it is better to be mentally prepared now.
It's approaching the New Year, and most companies have begun to take holidays one after another. Nian Nian is no exception, and some exceptions today are the decision to go back to their hometown for the New Year.
"Niannian, your uncle broke his leg some time ago. So he called and asked us to go back to Pingle for the New Year this year. I discussed it with your dad and agreed, first, we haven't been together for a long time. Second, I went back this time to visit your uncle. Would you like to go with us to Pingle for the New Year? Where is the remoteness is not as good as Cangning, we will not force you. ”
Niannian actually understands very well that her parents asked her so carefully, in fact, it should be related to the events of the year.
Yi Ze said that she had to go back to the place where the nightmare began and face it directly in order to end it completely. Perhaps, it was time for her to give it a try.
As soon as Christmas was goodbye, more than a month, Yi Ze left Cangning. Uncle Ming didn't tell her where Yi Ze had gone. Uncle Ming said that this was explained by Yi Ze. She didn't understand why he was hiding from him, and then she called him almost every day, and occasionally he answered.
The tone was the same as before, but it seemed tired. When asked where he was, he still wouldn't say. She is also used to this way of getting along, calling him when she is depressed, as long as she chats with him, the depressed mood will always be swept away.
It was only later that she realized that she was so selfish, only caring about pouring bitter water on herself, completely forgetting that he was a sick person. He needed to rest, but he always insisted on listening to her and enlightening her. If she hadn't heard the doctor talking, she would have ignored it.
She didn't know where he was, she didn't know what the time difference was, so she stopped calling him. was afraid of disturbing his rest, so the phone was changed to an email. It's just that he didn't seem to notice her email, so he never replied.
On this day, she was worried about how to face the place where the nightmare began, when Yi Ze's phone rang.
"I haven't received a call from you in the past few days, are you busy?"
"It's all on vacation, so there's nothing else to do. She talked about preparing to return to Pingle for the New Year, and Yi Ze was silent for a while.
"There are two sides to everything, and although it may seem a little sinister, this is a strong medicine. Mind it, go ahead, face it, and defeat the demons that are haunting you in your heart. ”
Nian Nian took a deep breath of cold air, and drew his name on the glass window with his fingertips: "Yi Ze, if only you were there." ”
Yi Ze smiled lightly: "This is what you have to face, whether I am here or not, no one can help you only yourself." I've heard you say that Pingle Town is a very beautiful town, and I really want to see it, but I don't have enough power. ”
Nian Nian told him that the climate in Pingle is relatively stable, and the flowering period here is relatively long. She said she would take pictures of him and send them to him as if he had been there.
Yi Ze answered and hung up the phone, even when he was in a good state, he still couldn't say much. She secretly made up her mind, and when she came back after the New Year, she would pry open Uncle Ming's mouth even if she was soft and hard!
Hearing that they were going back to Pingle for the New Year, Jin Nan flew back in a hurry.
It's just that he didn't come for the New Year, but he was just worried: "Otherwise, you and your brother will spend the New Year abroad this year! ”
Nian Nian shook his head: "Pull it down quickly! You go out on a mission, and I go shopping alone? Then I might as well go back to Pingle?"
Jin Nan coughed lightly: "Have you really decided? You have to think about it? This is not a joke." ”
Nian Nian nodded: "Don't worry, I'm ready." But you, really won't you celebrate the New Year with us this year?" Jin Nan shook his head very apologetically.
Before Jin Nan left Cangning, he called Xue Yihuai and said that Niannian was going back to Pingle for the New Year this year. It's just that he didn't expect that Xue Yihuai was not surprised at all, which made Jin Nan a little surprised: "Could it be ...... You already know? No, Nian Nian doesn't want to mention you at all, so how can he tell you?"
Xue Yihuai sighed secretly: "It's Yi Ze." ”
Yi Ze? Jin Nan really didn't understand these three people.
I prepared a number of New Year's goods, and boarded the plane with large bags and small bags. The moment I set foot in Pingle Town, the picture in my memory became clearer and clearer.
My uncle broke his leg, and he could only sit in a wheelchair during the Chinese New Year. On Chinese New Year's Eve, everyone was busy, but Nian Nian felt that his heart was blocked. Last year, on this day of the snowy Mei Long, he leaned against the pillar and silently said good to her for the New Year.
Things are not people, and today this year, she is the only one left.
The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was eaten very early, firecrackers were set off to sacrifice the ancestors, and the family moved chopsticks. Nian Nian has no appetite, and his heart is still uncomfortable. Yu Wen looked at her appearance and couldn't help but worry: "Isn't it uncomfortable? Do you want to take some medicine?"
Nian Nian shook his head: "Mom, I want to go out for a walk." Probably a little indigestible, I went out for a walk. ”
It wasn't dark outside, Yu Wen nodded, but told her to come back early and not go far.
It takes a lot of courage to go back to the woods. She walked past the big tree where she first saw Xue Yihuai, and after many years, it was still flourishing.
Wandering under the tree for a while, the sky was getting dark so fast. There were already many children who couldn't wait to light the fireworks, and the roar resounded through the sky, shaking the earth as if it were trembling. But she was the only one who was really trembling.
Talking and doing are two different things. It's easier said than done.
Standing at the entrance of the woods, her breathing became more and more rapid, and she was drenched in cold sweat. nestled a flashlight and turned his steps several times, but Yi Ze's words swirled again and again in his mind. She didn't want to be burdened with this nightmare all the time, and she didn't want to continue to live with guilt.
She had to face it, she had to forgive herself.
Pingle Town is a place where it doesn't snow, even in the cold winter, even the wind blows gently. Stepping on dead branches and rotting wood, it occasionally makes a clicking sound. Every time she made a sound, her heart beat like a rollercoaster.
She was getting more and more nervous, and in the empty forest, only the sound of her heavy breathing could be heard. It was completely dark, but the moonlight was shadowing the trees. The moonlight is fine tonight, just like it was back then.
The hand holding the flashlight was shaking, and so was the light it emitted. It's getting closer, it's getting closer......
What she heard was no longer the sound of her own breathing, but her own slight choking. The light shone far away, and between the swaying, there seemed to be a dark shadow standing there......
