A few days later, Sula's father had dinner and was walking along the road to Yu Lingling's apartment, as usual, when he walked to her house, he had to walk through the hall, go to the elevator, the sixth floor, and then turn left, the second room was, because he was used to this kind of life, he was used to seeing everything as dots and lines, when he walked through the hall, he saw the waiter's usual smile, but his mood was very bad, his eyelids always jumped inadvertently, and he always felt that something would happen, which made him really irritable, and just walked to the elevator door, When he was waiting for the elevator, the phone rang, and Sula's father thought that it was a work phone or Yu Lingling's phone, even if neither of these were the ones, but he would not have thought that it was Sula's mother calling.

She has always been introverted, even if her heart has already turned upside down, but she is not good at words.

"Where are you?" Chen Meimei's tone was filled with a polite inquiry, which was indeed uncommon, and even before, he seemed to have never heard of it.

Because, Chen Meili trusted him before.

"Outside, what's wrong?" For a while, Sula's father reacted, after all, this number is rarely called to him now, and she has never taken the initiative.

The voice on the other end of the phone was a little unreal, maybe it was too long since we had a conversation, and I was a little unfamiliar, "That's right, the school is planning to build a trading market simulation base for students, I heard that you took it." After a pause, she continued, "The school knows you're mine...... They asked me to talk to you. ”

Sula's father sighed slightly, "You don't understand these things. He faintly felt in his heart that his words were serious, and sure enough, at the other end, he heard Sula's mother let out a very soft oh.

"Give me your leader's phone number." He thought for a moment and added.

There was no sound on the other end, and Sula's father could hear the sound of Chen Meili running on the floor in her slippers, and her appearance suddenly flashed in his mind, "Remember, this is Principal Wang's phone number." ”

Sula's father didn't speak, listening to Chen Meili read the numbers word by word, and could vaguely recall her with reading glasses, leaning on the rocking chair, the reading glasses were matched by him and her, and she in her memory, there were many things, and she didn't dare to do it alone.

"Did you write it down?"

"Yes"

As soon as he said yes, he hung up over there, Sula's father raised his eyes and looked at Yu Lingling's room number, took out a cigarette case from his shirt pocket, took out a cigarette, stood at the door quietly, threw the cigarette butt in the trash can, turned around, and pressed the elevator.

He took out Principal Wang's number from the address book and dialed it.

"Hello, what's the matter?"

"Principal Wang, the design drawings have been decided, let's find a time to talk about the signing."

"I was about to call you." The other party said apologetically.

"Well, let's deal with this matter as much as possible, you know, a day of delay, for us, is the cost of a day, after all, there are a lot of people, not local, if not enough, all the money must be counted into the labor cost, I like to tell the truth."

"Okay, so are you free tomorrow?"

"I'm free tomorrow at three o'clock in the afternoon."

When Yu Lingling received a call from Sula's father, she was still sitting at the dining table, waiting for him to come to dinner, he said that he came over tonight, and it was already eight o'clock in the evening, he called, but said, "I'm going there tonight." He hung up, without explaining why, before Yu Lingling could open his mouth, he had already hung up the phone. Sometimes, she really doesn't know why this man treats her like this and buys her a house, but he is lukewarm to him, he is always like an ice stone that will not melt for thousands of years, no matter what Yu Lingling says, he can't melt him half a point.

Upset, she picked up the phone and dialed out again.

"They all said I wouldn't be there tonight, so what's the matter?" His tone was as normal as possible.

"If you don't come, you have to say something, why don't you come?" She asked, pouting.

"There's something going on in the company." He said.

"The company has something, the company has something, am I important or the company is important?" Yu Lingling asked.

Sula's father rolled his eyes impatiently, women like to ask such questions, childish and ridiculous, in Sula's father's memory, Chen Meili has never asked this kind of question.

"Lingling, don't make trouble."

"People made a table of dishes waiting for you, and if you don't come, you won't come, and you won't explain." She said with some grievances.

"Didn't I call and tell you?"

"Are you telling me this? From beginning to end, they didn't tell me why, anything. ”

Of course, there are some things that can't be explained clearly, if Sula's father said that it was because of Chen Meili, it is estimated that this phone call will make trouble, he hung up the phone, drove the car, looked at the neon lights around him, the mobile phone still vibrated without stopping, so many years, Sula's father thought that he was a person who kept to himself, but with more socialization and less home, he became no longer like before, and sometimes, he didn't even know when he started to become like this.

He went around and around, drove the car, parked downstairs in his community, stood downstairs and looked at his home, the dark window, he took out the key from his pocket, held it in his hand and hesitated.

The room was a little deserted, so his inexplicable mood sank for a while, he looked around, all the same as before, at the entrance door, there was still the coat he often wore, at that time, just moved in here, he often wore this coat and Chen Meili walked along the bridge in front of his door.

He opened the door and walked into the bedroom of the two, opened the door, and when he opened the drawer, he saw the wedding gift box at that time, he picked it up, and saw that there was a ring that belonged to him inside.

He picked up the ring, it was monotonous like a finger ring, without any decoration, it was silver, it was their wedding ring, he smiled and touched the inside of the ring, even if he didn't look at it, he still remembered what was engraved on it, because at that time, he had carved it with her.

He looked at the ring in his hand and suddenly became sad.

"Beautiful, look at the anniversary gift I bought you."

"What is it?"

He handed a rose from behind him, then pulled a ring out of his pocket.

"We're all married, what's there to give." She said, with a girlish smile on her face.

After all these years, he still remembers the expression on Chen Meili's face when he took off the wedding ring on his hand and brought the diamond-bearing ring to her.

Yes, I can't help it. "After so many years, I have feelings."

Chen Meili looked at the diamond ring shining under the light on her hand, and said very softly, "It's very good-looking." ”

"Wife, I always say, when life is better, buy you a good ring, that is too cold."

"No, I think it's good."

At that time, they were still so young, and they never thought about these things in the future, just like he never thought that he would have a quarrel with Chen Meili today, looking up at the empty home, he suddenly missed Chen Meili very much.

"Actually, I don't want to be like this." He took the ring and said to himself,
