Chapter 20: Disappointment
"Well, Gao Hu, who studied in Zhucheng, when did you return to Liangjiang?" Ying Cairong asked. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"I was transferred back a few days after the Spring Festival. That one...... Will it delay your work now, or will we get together when you get off work in the afternoon? Li Mu looked at the face that was close at hand, and his mouth was a little dry, but he still made himself bold and invited Ying Cairong.
"I'm okay right now, what about you? Why don't we go out and talk? Ying Cairong was very happy to see his old classmates, few of his classmates in high school came back to work, and it was impossible to find someone to catch up, after meeting Li Mu, although the two were not very familiar in high school, but the classmates still felt very cordial when they met, and they always wanted to talk to each other.
Li Mu naturally couldn't ask for it, so he hurriedly agreed. He said, "I'll accompany him to send the cup back first, and we'll talk while walking." Oh, I forgot to introduce, this is my colleague Tai Yuncheng. ”
"Hello, my name is Tai Yuncheng, and I am Li Mu's colleague." Tai Yuncheng had been watching Li Mu from the sidelines, and when he saw Li Mu introduce himself, he stretched out his hand and said.
"Hello, Ying Cairong, Li Mu's high school classmate." Ying Cairong simply shook his hand and let go.
"Li Mu, you chat with Miss Ying first, I can take these cups back by myself, and I'll leave first." Tai Yuncheng observed Li Mu for a while, and vaguely understood Li Mu's thoughts, so he said first. He didn't wait for Li Mu to answer, Chong Ying Cairong nodded, and left with the cup.
"Then you wait a while, I'll talk to the head nurse." Ying Cairong was at work after all, so it was not good to leave without permission, so she went to take a leave with the head nurse first.
"Hee-hee, how are you going to thank me?" Xiao Shang looked at Li Mu and said with a smile.
"I'll treat you to dinner when I have time." Li Mu was a little grateful to this enthusiastic little girl, looking at her smile, he couldn't help but think that after a year or two, this lovely little girl would be so enthusiastic.
…….
On the path of the hospital's garden, Li Mu and Ying Cairong walked side by side. Talking about their experiences and the past of some of their classmates.
"Li Mu, you went to college for four years, really, I can't recognize it." Ying Cairong looked at Li Mu and said. "Mainly....by the way, your temperament has changed a lot, but people haven't changed much."
"No, it won't! What temperament can I say? Li Mu smiled faintly and asked rhetorically.
"It's like ..... I can't tell you how you felt when you were in school, although your grades were at the top of our class, you were silent all day long, and you were a little wooden. Look at you now, you feel a very sunny person, and you have become stable and mature. ”
Li Mu was a little silent, he knew his changes, he smiled and said: "People change, and when you were in the class, you didn't see that you were so beautiful." ”
"Hah! When did you learn to flam, you really can't believe it's you. You're going to blush when you start talking to girls. Ying Cairong seemed to remember something funny, and pursed her lips and laughed after speaking.
Li Mu looked at her smile, and suddenly felt that the flowers in the garden seemed to be compared to this smile, and there was no scenery in her eyes, only the people in front of her. I suddenly remembered a poem: "A flower suddenly changes, and a hundred flowers are fragrant." The second person in his eyes seemed to have turned into flowers in this garden, and when he smiled, the flowers in the garden were dimmed.
He tried hard to look away, calmed down and said, "Impossible, I still have this trouble?" Li Mu naturally wouldn't admit it, saying this made him feel a little hot on his face.
"Mu Linlin knows, right? Your former tablemate, she and I used to be in the same dormitory, and she often told us about your troubles. Entertain everyone for many days. ”
"It's definitely not, she's making it up, and then I'll see her and I'm going to talk to her. Hey, how did you think of applying to the Department of Nursing? Li Mu diverted the topic and didn't let himself lose face in the previous matter.
"Me? The score is not as high as your test, so naturally you have to report this major with some certainty, and you can go home to work without leaving home. Ying Cairong smiled flatly, making it impossible to tell whether what was said was true or false. By the way, why haven't you ever been back once since you went to college? There was a class reunion where the whole class missed you, and everyone couldn't contact you, which was a pity. "Old classmates reunion, whether you are familiar with him or not, only he did not come, I feel more or less regretful in my heart, this is the most sincere feeling between classmates, even if many years have passed, and even some people you can't name, but you can still remember that this is your classmates, and you still can't forget your student days.
"I spent my vacation at my aunt's house when I was in college, and I never came back. And I didn't have any contact with my classmates at the beginning, so I didn't know about it. Can you connect with your classmates now? I'll invite you to dinner, and we'll all be together. ”
"Contact is able to contact, but there are no classmates in Wanshou County. Most of them have already gone to work in coastal areas, and almost no longer stay in Shunchang. Now that the coastal areas are economically developed, they are better than at home. What are you doing in Liangjiang? ”
"In the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee, I am still an officer. How's the work? Can you adapt? I've heard that being a nurse is quite tiring. Li Mu said with concern, he wanted to know everything about Ying Cairong and understand her current life.
"It's okay, it's not too tiring from work. You can do it! are all officials, and if the old classmates ask you for help in the future, don't shirk it. Ying Cairong made a joke about Li Mu.
"Okay, if you have anything to do, just look for me." Li Mu readily agreed, without hesitation. "Ask you something, do you have a partner now?" He said very casually what he wanted to ask when he met, but he felt that his heart was "pounding", and he wanted to beat his heart through, looking at Ying Cairong's face, his eyes were full of expectation, but he was worried. The heart is contradictory at this moment, and the state of mind that is usually honed is completely lost at this moment.
"There you have it! What about you? Ying Cairong just asked casually when Li Mu didn't think about anything else. I didn't notice Li Mu's abnormality, and it was impossible to know Li Mu's thoughts.
"Oh, I haven't." Li Mu said in frustration, feeling a little irritable, and without the joy of seeing Ying Cairong for the first time. Suddenly, I felt that the summer sun was so scorching, and it burned my skin. In fact, they were under the tree, and only a little sunlight passed through the leaves, reflecting speckled light on the ground. He felt that fate had played a joke on him, and he fell from the clouds, and his expectations for many years came to naught at this moment, but the shadow in his mind was still so clear and moving. And who will be the person in front of you?
He has some chaotic contrasts in time and space, is he thinking about "her" in his dream? Or is it the current "she"? Why is it still the quiet figure crawling on the desk, struggling and the expression of sitting quietly thinking about the problem that appears in my mind now? Li Mu felt that his thoughts were confused now, he didn't know his thoughts, and he couldn't see his true heart.
"Why haven't you found a girlfriend yet? There should be a lot of girls chasing someone as good as you. Ying Cairong didn't believe Li Mu's words, she felt Li Mu's strangeness at this time, so she asked, "What?" Broke up with your partner? ”
"Hehe, sort of." Li Mu smiled dismally and didn't introduce much. In his mind, the person in front of him is his object, and at this time he already knows that the famous flower has a master, and he can be regarded as a broken love.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know about you...... Don't talk about your sadness. Ying Cai said apologetically.
"It's fine. By the way, you won't have a short time to come out, so you can go back to work first. I'm also going to see if the leaders come down. ”
"Okay, you get busy first. If you have contact information, leave me one, and I'll call you at the class reunion. Ying Cairong said enthusiastically.
"Well, if it's convenient for you, give me one too." Li Mugui asked a question, and told Ying Cairong the phone number of his office.
Ying Cairong said the phone number in the duty room, and the two waved goodbye. Li Mu didn't leave, watching her figure gradually disappear into the corner, then she withdrew her eyes, shook her head gently, smiled silently wryly, and then went to find Tai Yuncheng.
