Chapter 01: The Quiet Lanhui River
It was a peaceful and beautiful night.
The white and bright half-moon hung high in the night sky, like a child's eyes smiling at the earth. Although the sky is black, it feels very clear, and there is not a single cloud in sight, only stars of different sizes and brightness keep blinking, bringing a touch of color to the night sky.
The beautiful crescent moon shines on the Lanhui River, and the quiet river surface reflects the half round of bright crescent moon, making the moon even more beautiful.
The Lanhui River is not wide, about seventy or eighty meters wide, it is an ancient river, along the south of Beizhou City, passing through the city. It is said that in ancient times, the banks of this river were ideal places for cultivating orchids and flowers. In spring, the banks are full of white and light pink orchids and flowers, and there is a fragrance on both sides of the river, and you can smell the fragrance for dozens of miles along the river, so the river is gradually called the Lanhui River. After a long time, people slowly wrote "Hui" as "Hui". It is also possible that because Huihua is also a type of orchid, people deliberately wrote "Hui" as "Hui", giving the word "Lanhui" a broader meaning. In any case, this river running east-west along the southern suburbs of Beizhou City is called Lanhui River.
Now the Lanhui River has been very well regulated. The banks of the river are fenced with stones, and an opening is set in the fence every 200 meters, and a step extends down the fence into the river, which is set up to clean the debris in the river. Eighty meters beyond the fence on both sides is the riverside park, and then beyond is the north-south riverside road. On the north side of Binhe Road on the north side of the river is a high-rise building, and on the south side of Binhe Road on the south side of the river, there are factories, dormitory areas, and various sales areas.
Standing on the south bank of the Lanhui River and looking at the north bank, you can see the majestic momentum of Beizhou City's modern big city, and you can feel the breath of a modern big city. Looking at the south bank, it seems that you can still see the appearance of an old city that has not been developed, and it brings endless imagination to people.
In a six-story red brick building area on the south side of Binhe Road on the south bank of the Lanhui River in the eastern suburbs of Beizhou City, a young woman in a white dress and pink skirt hurriedly walked out of a unit door on the east side of a red brick building, bypassed the red brick building, crossed the road, and then passed through the riverside park, until she walked to the bank of the Lanhui River. Standing on the edge of the fence, she looked up at the half-moon in the sky, then at the quiet river, and then walked along the riverside fence to the east.
The young woman's name was Hui Lan, which was the opposite of Lan Hui He's name, and the two names were exactly the same. Probably for this reason, she loves the river so much that she rented a one-bedroom apartment in a six-story red brick building on the south bank of the Lanhui River just after graduating from college, and walked to the river almost every night. When you are busy, no matter how late you come back, you have to walk a long circle by the river after dinner; When it's not too busy, I go for a walk by the river after dinner, and I stay for an hour or two.
Whelan, a native of Huainan City, Anhui Province, was admitted to Beizhou Normal University, a prestigious university in Beizhou City, four years ago, majoring in Chinese, and just graduated recently. Because her boyfriend Yu Wenkang is from Beizhou City, he stayed in this city and is now looking for a job. She submitted more than a dozen resumes, but there was no response.
Whelan's own conditions are very good, not only the name is loud and good-sounding, but also the appearance is extraordinary, it can be said that it is one in a hundred. The face plate is a standard melon seed face with a wide top and narrow bottom, a pair of bright big eyes, obvious double eyelids, very white eyeballs, and long eyelashes, which look clear and moving. In particular, her complexion and body shape can be said to be stunning, her complexion is like snow, white and tender, as if she will melt after covering it for a while; Not to mention the body type, slender and plump, with insincere and clear body curves, and two legs are very straight and long. When she stood upright, there was no gap between her two legs, giving people the feeling that she was very tall, but in fact, she was 1.68 meters, but she looked like a tall person of 1.75 meters.
Today, Whelan is not here for a walk. She walked a few dozen meters to the east and then stopped, staring at the river in a daze, her face was very strict, and she couldn't see any expression, as if she was making some important decision with great determination.
Just now, before coming to the river, Whelan suddenly received a WeChat message from her college classmate, her boyfriend Yu Wenkang, clearly proposing to end her relationship with Whelan. After seeing this WeChat, Huilan was angry and sad. In a fit of rage, he wrote a farewell letter and put it on his desk, then put on his clothes and ran to the river.
Yu Wenkang was in the same class as Whelan in college and was Whelan's boyfriend. His home is in Beizhou City, and his parents are both civil servants of the district government. Yu Wenkang is not short, he has to be 1.8 meters tall, and he looks like an old scholar with a pair of eyes. He and Whelan were classmates for four years, not only studying together for four years but also falling in love for four years. Originally, he and Whelan agreed that after graduation, the two would find a job first, and then get married during the Spring Festival next year. But I don't know why, Yu Wenkang suddenly wanted to terminate his relationship with Whelan, and this sudden news gave Whelan who was still in a beautiful fantasy a blow to the head and beat her up.
It stands to reason that Whelan and Yu Wenkang are still quite a good match. Both of them are smart and have always been at the top of their class; Emotional intelligence is not low, and the relationship between the two and their classmates is very good; The temperament is similar, and they all belong to the kind of hard work; The appearance and size are also very compatible. The difference between the two is a local and an outsider; One is the family of ordinary cadres, and the other is the family of ordinary workers. Both of these differences are external conditions, and the two have known for a long time that this should not be the reason for a breakup.
Yu Wenkang's WeChat reads:
Lan Lan: Hello! Originally, we said that we would get married during the Spring Festival next year, but due to various reasons, it seems that our marriage will not be completed. We have been together for four years, you have given me a lot, I am very grateful to you, now since we can't get married, let's just break up! Breaking up may be the best relief for us?????? Although we are about to break up, your voice and smile will always be cherished in my heart, and I will always remember you!
This WeChat is written very simply, and it probably has three meanings: one is that you can't get married, the second is to break up, and the third is to remember you. The four-year relationship was resolved in just three sentences, and of course Whelan couldn't bear it. In the past four years, Whelan has paid a lot for Yu Wenkang, and almost all of his spare time has been put into it. In classrooms, dormitories, campuses, and training halls, Whelan was with him almost every day, accompanying him to study, walk, and train for sports?????? And the classmates all know that they are about to get married. In the graduation speech, many students who cared about them also wrote many parting messages to bless the two of them, which now look very touching. But how can you say that it blows?
For a variety of reasons, what are these reasons? Is it that you don't like me anymore or that I don't deserve you anymore? You must be looking down on me! If there was another reason, it would have been blown a long time ago, and there would be no need to wait until now, only if you don't look down on me, it will be so sudden, and you will be so gracious! Whelan seemed to think very clearly??????
Since you don't look down on me, then I don't have the face to live. You'll be happier when I'm gone, and you'll be more freewheeling. Thinking of this, Whelan climbed onto the upper edge of the riverside fence and threw himself down on the quiet Lanhui River with his legs kicked??????
