Chapter 14: My heart is half cold
After a busy day, Yu Wenkang finally got off work on time. Walking out of the office building, he got into his car again. Igniting the fire, fastening the seat belt, releasing the handbrake, and then looking at the dashboard, Yu Wenkang drove the car onto the road.
Yesterday, he looked for Whelan and didn't see her all night, so he decided to go after work today to see if Whelan was not at home. He didn't believe he would never see Whelan again.
This morning and afternoon, Yu Wenkang used the work break to call Whelan twice, and the result was the same: the light rang, but no one answered. This result is easy to understand, Whelan is still angry, of course he won't answer the phone. Therefore, he still wants to see Whelan, everything can be done as long as they meet, they can communicate when they meet, they can feel emotions when they meet, and they will think of the past when they meet. Only by meeting can the estrangement between the two be resolved.
Yu Wenkang drove confidently to the red brick building community, parked the car on the edge of Building No. 5, and then walked into a unit again. He looked carefully at the door in the middle of the first floor, it was so familiar that he had seen it almost every day just a few days ago. Outside is an iron gray security door, the upper part of the door is an iron bar, revealing the green wooden door inside, with the number 102 printed on the top in red paint.
The door was no different from yesterday, still so quietly closed, as if it had never been opened. Didn't she go out all day? Or did she not come back for a day? Leave it alone and knock on the door.
Yu Wenkang stretched out his hand and slapped it a few times, but there seemed to be no sound other than the sound of the iron door shaking. He listened again, and it was quiet inside the door. After a few more knocks, there was still no movement. A few more knocks, and still. It seems that there is really no one in this house, Yu Wenkang can conclude.
Let's take a look at the back of the building! He walked out of the unit door and walked around to the back of the building, standing behind the balcony of Whelan's house, looking out the window. It was the beige curtain with pink flowers that blocked the entire window. He could see that the curtain had really not moved. Did she really not come back that day? Yu Wenkang really didn't understand, yesterday he was inclined to Whelan to sleep, and today he was inclined to Whelan not to come back, what the hell is going on?
Yu Wenkang thought about it for a while, and asked the neighbor next door!
He walked back to the unit, stood outside the door on the right, and knocked on the door. Knock knock, knock knock, knock knock, hey, there's no one in this house. Just as he hesitated, he suddenly heard someone at the door of the unit: "Who are you looking for?" ”
Yu Wenkang turned his head and saw that the person who walked in was very familiar, he was a strong man, as if he had seen it somewhere. But he didn't have time to think about it, and replied, "I'm looking for Whelan." ”
"Whelan is the middle door, you knocked on the wrong one!" The strong man said.
"I know she lives in the middle door, but there's no one in there!" Yu Wenkang glanced at the strong man, and seemed to remember that he had seen him here yesterday, so he asked again, "Do you know where she went?" ”
"He seems to have returned to his hometown!" The strong man replied crisply.
"Back home?" Yu Wenkang repeated, but his heart was half cold. Of all the answers, he was most afraid of this one, if Whelan returned to her hometown, then he really didn't know if she would come back. "When did she leave?" He followed up again.
"It's just that after you left here yesterday, she came back, packed up for a while, and then went to the train with a trolley suitcase." The strong man said with a nose and eyes.
Oh! Yu Wenkang nodded. This time he understood: when he came yesterday evening, the curtains of the back window were opened, and when he came at night, the curtains were all closed. This shows that Whelan really came back, and then cleaned up and closed the curtains and left. He shook his head, sighed again, and said, "Thank you!" Then I'm leaving! With that, he walked down the stairs and out of the unit door.
This answer is completely consistent with the actual situation, so Yu Wenkang believes it very much. Although he didn't like the answer, it was true, and he had to accept it if he didn't like it. He didn't hesitate anymore, hurried to the side of the car, pulled the door and got into the car. Sitting in the car, he seemed to feel a trace of regret.
People who don't know how to cherish seem to be like this, when they are together, they always love to look at other people's shortcomings, and they don't cherish the good times together; separated, and remembered the good of others, and there was always a feeling of regret that came to my heart all of a sudden. This state of mind is actually a real feeling, and no matter what happens to him in the future, this state of mind is real.
At this time, Yu Wenkang was like this, and that feeling of regret came up all of a sudden, making him feel a little bitter, very unpleasant, as if he had a feeling of wanting to cry without tears. This is regret, if he looks back on this period of time after a few years, he must be very regretful, and he must feel that he should not have chosen this way.
Yu Wenkang sat in the car and suddenly remembered that she should ask Tong Shuihe again, because Tong Shuihe is a good friend of Whelan, she must know if Whelan is gone. Thinking of this, he took out his mobile phone and dialed Tong Shuihe's mobile phone: "Hey, Xiaohe?" I'm Yu Wenkang. ”
"Did you find Whelan?" Tong Shuihe asked on the mobile phone.
"I haven't found her for a day, and I heard that she has returned to her hometown, do you know?"
"I've been busy for the past two days, and I haven't contacted her today! Who do you listen to? ”
"I just heard from her next-door neighbor." Yu Wenkang said with regret.
"Oh, that's possible! I'll get in touch with her in the evening and tell you. I'm busy! Hang up first! Bye! Tong Shuihe hung up his phone.
Yu Wenkang put the phone back in his pocket, it seems that Huilan is really gone, the gap between the two of us can never be solved, it is a pity that he arrived. There's no need to wait, get out of here! Yu Wenkang started the car, fastened the safety zone, and drove away.
Along the way, he always can't mention his love, thinking about how difficult it has been for Whirlan all these years, he has been with him all day long, and how many personal things have been done! In the end, the two still blew it, but they still couldn't get together. If she had known about this, she would not have gotten along with me, but who is that? Who knew my mother would be so adamantly against it!
When I walked into the house, the smell of meat came to my nose. Yu Wenkang shouted while changing his slippers: "Mom, what do you want to eat?" It's so fragrant! ”
"I'll make you pork knuckle with sauce! Let you have a few drinks in a while. Wenkang's mother said while cutting vegetables, and when she saw Yu Wenkang walk into the kitchen, she said, "I am looking for District Chief Li today, and he has also contacted his daughter, and he is quietly willing to meet you." Wenkang's mother stopped what she was doing and looked at him, "How do you want to meet?" ”
"I'll find a time to go directly to the cultural center to find her, isn't that enough!" Yu Wenkang came to love and said bluntly, "We used to know each other quite well, although we haven't seen each other for a few years, we definitely still know each other, and we won't be unrecognizable!" ”
"It's easy for you to do this, and I'll admit the door yourself." Wenkang's mother continued to chop vegetables, "It's okay, you can find it yourself!" She works in the library, don't go through the wrong door. ”
"If you want to meet, can you go to the wrong door?" Yu Wenkang said with a smile.
