3. Sympathy in those eyes
Ye Ning couldn't help but beat a spirit.
Since that incident, she has become a face blind, and she has difficulty making out the faces of the people around her. But she remembered those eyes, those eyes that still looked at her indifferently as she wriggled on the ground like an earthworm.
For countless nights, she had woken up from nightmares, and she could always see those eyes.
For this reason, the blind date she once dated must wear glasses.
She hates to see any male in the eye.
She closed her eyes, letting the eyes that had appeared in countless dreams disappear from her eyes, and then got up and went to pour herself a glass of red wine. She is not a drinker, especially after having a baby, but now she feels that she needs a glass of red wine to numb her nerves.
After a glass of red wine, she felt a lot calmer. Thinking of the financial news she heard today, she turned on the computer and searched for "Yue Ning Group, Xiao Yue" on the Internet, in fact, when she typed this Yue Hening, she didn't know how to press the fingers of the keyboard and trembled.
Ning, this is her name, and she feels a little strange at this time to appear on the name of such a group, although this name is really common.
Yue Ning Group, Xiao Yue, she searched like this, and soon came out.
This is an Internet company founded ten years ago, and Baidu Encyclopedia first listed a bunch of numbers, all kinds of brilliance, and finally mentioned the founder Xiao Yue.
Xiao Yue's two words are blue, and you can click on them.
What catches my eye is a photograph.
He has short black hair, a broad and bright forehead, and very deep facial features.
This face is strange and familiar, and it feels indescribable, as if it has been seen somewhere, but this face is not a road face if it is said to be a road face.
Ye Ning enlarged the photo.
This man was dressed in a navy blue suit, and he was standing at a briefing meeting, and he was staring ahead, calmly telling something, and those eyes were very deep.
But when Ye Ning just stared at these eyes and looked at them carefully, she suddenly realized something.
It was as if she had touched a key button, and a memory she thought was too vague to remember it again gradually emerged.
She began to slowly distinguish from her vague and pale memory, and finally remembered that those eyes, she had seen one in high school.
Ye Ning in high school was actually conservative and diligent.
After the farce of beating the junior, Ye Ning's mother committed suicide by jumping off the building. Thirteen-year-old Ye Ning was led to her uncle's house. At the beginning, it was okay, grandma still hurt herself, but later grandma also passed away, and Ye Ning was completely uncared for.
At that time, Ye Ning ate leftovers and wore torn clothes that her aunt didn't want, but she never cared about these, she knew every day that she lowered her head to study, studied hard, and didn't like to talk, just like a walking zombie numbly studying, eating, sleeping, and studying.
Later, Ye Ning turned out the photo on her high school diploma, and she saw that in the black and white photo, the sixteen-year-old Ye Ning's eyes were barren, with no grass and no light.
At that time, the female classmates already knew how to dress up, and they were all dressed bright and fresh, but Ye Ning had only one requirement for clothes, that is, a long-sleeved shirt that must cover the back of the hand, and long black pants that must be long. Except for her neck, face, and hands, she can't show a little excess skin.
She wrapped her body tightly and hid her eyes as well.
In the midst of the daily boring test papers and exercises, she occasionally raised her head to look out the window.
At that time, she sat by the window, which was a hallway, and classmates often passed by in front of that window.
Since that incident, Ye Ning has been face blind, she often can't tell the difference between this classmate's face and that classmate's face, but she can see other people's eyes.
She would often go to see the boy passing by her window.
The man's eyes were indifferent, unkind, like the eyes that occasionally appeared in her nightmares.
At that time, she was timid but brave, she bit her lip to look at the man's eyes, and when she looked into the man's eyes, her heart would flood with a masochistic pleasure.
Sometimes she passed by the flower bed below and accidentally looked up at the guardrail on the second floor, and she would see a lot of boys standing there laughing, and she could always find those eyes in so many people.
At one point, he seemed to inadvertently turn his head and caught her gaze.
She smiled softly, but her heart was filled with a shuddering disgust.
She hated this man, she hated these eyes.
Maybe not alone, but that didn't stop her from twisting her disgust.
Ye Ning frowned, recalling the silent and gloomy self he had been.
Maybe she was too good at forgetting, but now that she thinks about it carefully, there are actually many memories of this person.
Huo Chen was actually in her sight when she was in high school, and at the beginning, when others mentioned Huo Chen to her, she didn't know at all. But one day, Huo Chen's mother suddenly rushed into the classroom, confronted herself, and scolded herself for seducing her son, so that her son couldn't study hard, and said that she was a vixen.
I remember that at that time, those indifferent eyes stood aside, calmly looking at Yiqiē in front of him.
Ye Ning looked at Huo Chen, who was standing next to him. Huo Chen wore glasses, lowered his head and did not speak.
Ye Ning could feel that there was disdain in those eyes.
Who is he in Ye Ning, or is he in love with Ye Ning's Huo Chen?
Ye Ning was still too young and naïve at that time, she walked directly to Huo Chen and asked him: Are you called Huo Chen?
Ye Ning remembered that his tone was exceptionally calm at that time.
Huo Chen clenched his fists, obviously excited, he nodded, yes, I am Huo Chen.
So Ye Ning continued to ask: Is that aunt your mother just now?
Huo Chen was obviously ashamed, nodded and admitted, yes, I'm sorry, my mother was a little misunderstood......
When Ye Ning didn't finish his words, he cut off his words bluntly and said to him, I think she has a little misunderstanding, but I don't know you, let alone her, I hope there will be no such misunderstanding in the future. I don't want to interrupt my studies and delay my time with irrelevant strangers.
After saying this, Ye Ning calmly walked back to the classroom, returned to his seat, and flipped out the test paper that the teacher was talking about before.
When she looked down and flipped through the test papers, she occasionally raised her eyes and saw the eyes on the side.
There was sympathy in the man's eyes.
Sympathy......
Ye Ning, who became a mother more than ten years later, gently rubbed her eyebrows with her hands and sighed softly. Ye Ning's mind is much calmer now, like a burning fire, and now the fire has already passed its most vigorous time, and only a piece of dyed wood is slowly smoldering. But at that time, Ye Ning looked quiet and silent on the outside, but inside he seemed to be burning a fire forever.
Others never know how twisted and dark her heart is.
She actually hates that kind of sympathy, after all, she has seen too many sympathetic eyes, and she has become numb, and when these eyes also reveal this kind of sympathy, she can't say the disgust and disgust.
Because of that unspeakable and unprovoked disgust, she paid more attention to those eyes than ever, and she could always keenly catch the gaze of that person in the crowd.
Sometimes she could even feel that the person's gaze was behind her, staring at her.
So she remembered another little thing, about the donation that others gave her after her college entrance examination.
At that time, she was the first in Songshan Middle School, the top student in the college entrance examination, and the big red list was posted, and I don't know how much glory and envy she has. At that time, the college entrance examination in the province where Qingnan City was located was fiercely competitive, with a large population base and a low admission ratio, plus there was no college entrance examination expansion at that time. At that time, the top famous schools of T University only enrolled more than a dozen places in the province, and Songshan Middle School sharpened its head and competed for this place with more than a dozen famous schools in the province, and there was no T major for three consecutive years. The big red banner was pulled out, all of which warmly celebrated your admission to T University.
But behind this glory, Ye Ning looked at the ranking on the big red list, but she was a little tired. It's like a person who has been running hard all the time, and suddenly rushes to the finish line, and she can't see the yellow mark in front of her, and she doesn't know what she should do.
That's when she caught those eyes again.
In fact, those eyes haven't appeared for a long time since the Huo Chen incident.
She felt those eyes staring at her, silent and helpless, even a little depressed.
At this moment, she felt that the colors on the big red list were a little brighter.
He must have fallen into Sun Mountain.
Without giving the man a second look, she turned and left.
At that time, she had no money, and her aunt said that she had no money for her education, and refused to pay for tuition and accommodation. At that time, student loans were not as common as they are now, and the teachers at Songshan Middle School did not know how to operate and whether they could apply for them.
So some people in the city's enterprises said that they wanted to donate, not only to Ye Ning, but also to several students in need in the city. The scene was so big that the local TV station went.
At that time, Ye Ning was standing there with several other students, holding an enlarged version of the donation check in his hand, and then everyone said their feelings, it is best to talk about how difficult the family is, how sad it is to not be able to go to school, and how grateful they are after receiving this donation. Even the host will ask about some things that reveal people's scars.
Ye Ning's gaze easily felt the gaze of that person from the noise of gongs and drums.
I don't know when she started, she can always calmly ignore the gaze that shoots from all directions and the faces that don't know whether they are smiling or angry, and find exactly what she is looking for.
Ye Ning didn't know what kind of gaze that person was at that time, not as indifferent as usual, but with a kind of burning desire, just like a chick looking at the blue sky, eager to flicker its immature wings and fly high.
Under the focus of the camera, maybe the trousers and long-sleeved shirt on her body were too stuffy, she was in a trance for no reason, and when she woke up, she found that the host, the teachers and charity entrepreneurs around her were staring at her, waiting for her to tell in tears.
She looked at everyone calmly and casually said a few words of thanks.
At that time, the scene suddenly became embarrassing, after all, people paid the money, and what they wanted was that you were in tears and grateful.
But the host didn't say anything, and quickly invited her off the stage.
After stepping down, she crossed the face of an unknown number of faces and probed into those eyes.
Those eyes happened to be looking at her, too.
From a distance of thousands of mountains and rivers, he was looking at himself, as if he was looking at a particularly familiar person.
Those eyes seemed to be warmer than ever, as if there were cracks in the ice in the harsh winter.
For the first time in his life, Ye Ning lowered his gaze.
As far as the eye could see, there was a coat in the man's hand.
She finally understood that she had always felt that this person seemed to be a little different from others, and there seemed to be something more on her body, which turned out to be a coat.
On such a hot day, you have to bring a coat.
Ye Ning felt that he had finally seen a stranger person than he had kept his long pants and long sleeves.
