It took a long time for the movement outside to stop. Shu Yu and Lin Weilan listened to it through a door, as if she was afraid that her daughter would suffer, and her red eyes stared straight at the doorknob and didn't dare to let go. But he never thought that he would hear such an ending, Huo Siran got up and slammed the door and walked out, and everything returned to peace.

Her chest was very stuffy, and the air was so quiet that she could hear the ticking of the clock outside, Lin Weilan waited for a long time, and finally couldn't sit still.

With a slightly pale face, she walked over and grabbed the doorknob to open it—the debris and the collapsed wooden door were still there.

Lin Weilan walked out a little bit, and saw the sad and bloody figure leaning in front of the cabinet.

The slender man was also stunned, and when he raised his eyes and saw Lin Weilan coming out, he couldn't help it, and cried a little bit, and tears fell down his palm-sized cheeks.

Lin Weilan was in pain all of a sudden.

She looked away, endured the sour pain in her eyes, went to the balcony and brought a broom dustpan, put the broken porcelain pieces away, threw them into the trash can, and wiped the table, her hands shaking all the way. She used to feel that her daughter was like herself everywhere, but she lacked some backbone, and she didn't dare to resist when she was bullied, and she didn't even dare to speak loudly, which made people more and more angry. But now I don't think she's without a temper, she does, but she doesn't do it easily, especially in front of someone she thinks is very important and can't bear to hurt.

That Huo Siran... Cluster...

It's not that you're without feelings with her, are you?

Lin Weilan turned her head, said with red eyes and trembling voice, "Hungry, right?" If you want something to eat, Mom will make it for you. ”

She cried even louder, with the back of her hand raised to cover her mouth, tears streaming down her hands and face.

She held back her tears and went to the drawer to get the trauma medicine pack, sat on the sofa and beckoned to her little daughter, motioned for her to sit over, and pulled down the thin straps on her shoulders while talking to her softly, the scars were all over the eyes, she wiped the alcohol cotton ball little by little, and her daughter fell in her arms and cried, just like when she was a child, she fell home riding a bicycle and cried. A little bit, it also hurts in her heart.

At noon, Lin Weilan went to the room to take a look, she wiped the medicine and slept not very steadily, a small lump nested on her single bed and lay on her stomach, afraid of infection and high fever, Lin Weilan also went in and touched her forehead a few times, but it was not a fever, she was relieved and went out to buy vegetables.

I slept until sunset, woke up from a dream, and woke up with a large wet pillow.

Lin Weilan had already cooked the dishes and waited for her to get up, and saw the small figure wearing a cotton nightdress pulling slippers out of it in a daze, her face was always lazy and indifferent, and she lowered her eyes and said in a dumb voice: "Come to dinner." ”

She walked over and pulled her head to look at the dishes, and her little hand stretched out dishonestly: "There is braised fish......"

Lin Weilan frowned, and hit her with chopsticks: "Wash your hands first." ”

In fact, my fingers had already touched the sauce, retracted it and sucked it, obediently went to the kitchen to wash my hands, my eyes were swollen from crying, and I washed it with cold water many times before it was more comfortable.

During the meal, Lin Weilan said while serving soup: "Do you remember that I once told you about your distant cousin?" The one in Texas, she is also married to a soldier. I always told that I couldn't see each other a few times a year, and when I did, I went home to see my parents like a routine, teasing my children, giving my family some subsidies and nothing else to help, and my feelings were not deep. What's more......" Lin Weilan sighed and tried to stretch her eyebrows and said, "I can't communicate." The thinking of soldiers is too rigid, and after staying in the army for a long time, they always feel that women are only obedient and disobedient to them, where to learn those tactfuls? So there are advantages and disadvantages, at least you are good to him, he can feel it, and he will always be loyal and responsible, not afraid to mess around; And the bad ones, that's a lot more......"

Lin Weilan didn't say the rest of the words. didn't say it because she believed that it had only been a few months, and her daughter must have experienced it much more deeply than her.

Really.

The chopsticks held by Lin Yitong's small hand had begun to tremble, and the braised fish had not been caught in his bowl several times, and his eyes were blurred.

Lin Weilan softened her tone and said: "Accompany your mother at home these days, and make a decision when you think clearly, don't be afraid, don't regret it, do you know the way?" ”

She nodded, tears falling into the bowl and eating along with the rice.

The mobile phone in the bag rang, she was stunned, gently wiped her tears and took it to the dinner table to pick it up, Lin Weilan didn't care when she saw that her face was normal, but she slowed down after listening to Lin Yitong's movements, and said in a dumb voice with a thick nasal voice: "Well, okay." I got it. ”

"Whose phone number?" Lin Weilan asked uneasily.

Her little green hill-like face raised after the rain and said, "Our director." ”

Lin Weilan nodded and didn't ask again.

Lin Yitong hesitated for a moment, and finally picked up the bowl and continued to pick up the rice. She didn't lie, the call was indeed from Director Qin, and as for the content, she wouldn't say. It's just that she understands after a trance and sleeps, it turns out that this person means great blessing in his life, and now that he is gone, she realizes how weak and helpless she is.

********

Song Yi was woken up in broad daylight when she was sleeping, and went to open the door impatiently with a hint of getting up, and when she opened the door, she saw the soft and obedient figure standing in front of her.

Song Yi frowned and was confused, glanced at the clock and said, "Why are you skipping work again?" ”

Eight in the morning. At nine o'clock, she was sleeping in shifts.

Her little face was slightly pale, but she smiled sweetly, walked in with her hands behind her back and looked like she didn't plan to leave, patted her shoulder and said, "You go and continue to sleep, I'll stay for a while." ”

Song Yi was stunned, and when she closed the door, she saw that she really went to the small sofa in her rental house and stayed there.

"Hey," she poked at her, "the water cooler is over there, I want to drink my own boiling water to the gas stove, I'm so sleepy that I really don't have time to care about you, you can take care of yourself." ”

She hugged her pillow and nodded.

Song Yi turned her head and went to sleep again, but thinking that something was wrong, she frowned and scratched her head and turned around and said, "What the hell are you talking about, you don't say how I can sleep?" ”

She sighed softly and said, "I've been suspended without pay. Director Qin called me last night and told me that I didn't need to come here today, saying that one of the nieces of the vice president was going to intern in cardiothoracic surgery for a period of time, and it was estimated that she would stay after the internship, and asked me to be prepared and find another way out as soon as possible. ”

Song Yi was shocked.

"Vice Dean? Who is it? She walked over and put her hands on the sofa, "She ate the gall of the ambitious leopard, I don't know who your husband is?" ”

A word woke up the person in the dream, Lin Yitong was stunned and thought, she never thought that she even had her life touched by him, she was so naïve that it was just a marriage certificate, and what he wanted was just her person. Come no. What he wanted was her for the rest of her life.

Her little hands gently clenched the pillow, and she sat up, her long black seaweed-like hair falling down to her waist, "Hmm." I also thought that maybe it was an illusion that I thought I was so valued before, and the reason for this was only because of him. ”

Song Yi was completely sober now, and went down to ask, "Did you quarrel?" ”

She doesn't speak. Song Yi didn't even dare to ask again now, it seemed that it was much more serious than the quarrel, so if it was more serious, it was a break?

Originally, I was so tired when I came back from duty, I slept for a few hours in the first half of the night, and now I was suddenly not sleepy again, Song Yi put on her nightdress and sat on the sofa with her and asked, "Then what are you going to do now?" ”

Her soft white fingers lightly tapped the small flowers protruding from the pillow, remembering the painful cry yesterday, remembering her overwhelming sour grievances before the outbreak, and thinking of Huo Siran's eyes full of pain but cold and ruthless, she only felt that her heart hurt very much, and now that she woke up from a dream, it was still painful.

"Director Qin still treats me with heart, so he kindly told me the truth. I...... I don't want my mother to know, so I'll stay with you for a while, figure out what kind of work I want to do, and then go out to find it. ”

Song Yi frowned: "Don't you continue to be a nurse?" Tell you that my grandmother just opened a private clinic, why don't you help? ”

She raised her eyes and looked over softly, and Song Yi was embarrassed to look at it now. To be honest, the clinic can receive many serious patients, and her grandmother and a few old colleagues are more than enough to do it, and she can't afford to hire nurses at all.

Just thinking about a small hand, she gently covered her hand and shook her hand, and looked up to see the sweet smile of the person: "Xie Lu, thank you, but you don't have to, I'll borrow your sofa to stay for a while, you go to sleep, and when you wake up, I'll know what to do." ”

Song Yi had no choice but to nod, but how could she not know how dark Lu Dao's employment in a local state institution like C City was? Either have power or money, a primary school teacher has to prepare two or three hundred thousand yuan to enter the school to be guaranteed, let alone them??

As soon as Song Yi left, the little man's hard shell seemed to be shattered, and his soft long arms hugged the pillow tightly, as if he wanted to try to absorb a little warmth. Since she graduated, she has been on a smooth path, because she bumped into someone like that, how could the road he paved for her be difficult??

Now that the shell has been peeled off, her weakness has been exposed.

……

In the afternoon, when I went to the vice president's office to discuss the distribution issue, Qi Yuan was next to him.

A very neat and capable woman, forty or fifty years old but still maintaining perfect body proportions, she glanced at Lin Yitong coldly when she got up to pour water and drink, but this little girl was not shocked.

"There is a need for the branch of the army, and you can't always send someone there, can you? Batches of students have to squeeze into the general courtyard of the military region, how many can they squeeze in? Right? The other vice president spoke in a tone and threw a document to her, "Look at it, this military branch is near Linxian, far away, but the treatment is not bad." ”

Far.

It's really far away. It is an hour or two away from the city by car, and the division of the area is still in the county control. But other than that, everything else is fine.

The little hand gently closed the information, and she said crisply, "I'm willing to go." ”

Qi Yuan drank water, and suddenly choked and coughed, but he didn't expect her to promise so neatly, his eyes raised to look at her, and his eyes were cold and shocked—he could really see it.

The other vice president also skipped a beat, took back the information and weighed it and said, "Then I'll contact that side, and you go back to say hello to your director first." ”

The slender girl nodded, neither humble nor arrogant, and said earnestly with her eyes, "Vice President Xie Luxie" and walked out of the office. She thought very clearly, if she hadn't met Huo Siran, her way out would have been so difficult, so what was there to mind? Besides, it's just a little far away from home, and the facilities are poor, what's the difference?

It's not that you can't do anything else. It's just this line of work, she likes it so much.

The vice dean frowned and nodded on the table, looking at Qi Yuan with some concern: "Are you sure it's okay to do this?" ”

Qi Yuan's face turned red from choking, covered his mouth and nose, and looked at him coldly: "Do your thing." ”

The slender girl went back to the consultation room and packed up her things, said hello to Director Qin, and then went to hand it in. Ban, the little nurse who was more talkative couldn't understand why she had to leave for a while, she smiled sweetly, and the pear vortex was deep, briskly and confidently finished dealing with the patients and things to be handed over, picked up the box containing her personal belongings and walked out.

It's sunny outside, and it's like a new life.

From now on, she is strong, and she doesn't want to do anything in the future, no matter how much pain she has for him, she will be an independent and self-reliant person in the future.

The eyelashes trembled slightly, she heard the vibration in her pocket, she picked it up and looked at the unfamiliar number, and after taking it, her face changed slightly, she glanced back at the direction of the cardiothoracic surgery ward, and said softly: "Okay, I'll go now, aunt, you wait for my news." ”

After hanging up the phone, the figure hurriedly ran out of the city, stopped the car on the street in a thin sweat, and galloped away somewhere with the suitcase.

*********

Zhuang Jingyan was about to cry on the phone, saying that she couldn't contact Gu Jingsheng for a few days, and asked Lin Yitong where his address was in City C.

It was inconvenient for them to go away, so she should come down and look for it herself.

Fortunately, she still remembered the vague address and house number of the apartment building, and after arriving, she suppressed the sweat oozing from her body, and held back her fright, knowing very clearly what she was doing, when Huo Siran told her that day that she wanted her old love to rekindle and continue to be happy, she suddenly understood what kind of existence Gu Jingsheng had always been in her heart.

The little hand trembled and put down the box beside it, knocked on the door, knocked on the door again, and no one answered inside.

But the safe door is open, so there shouldn't be no one at home.

Taking a light breath, her eyes under her eyelashes were misty, and she called softly, "Jing Sheng." ”

"Jing Sheng, it's me."

"Please open the door, I know you're inside."

Somehow there was no movement inside, she gritted her teeth, and couldn't help but call the police for a while, saying that her key could not open the door, and it may be that the burglary was locked by the thief from the inside. The nearby police soon arrived, she took out a key and really couldn't open the door, the police also squinted and were suspicious, and immediately found an expert who pry the door, and a few clicks to pry open the inside not only did not have a lock, but only a door lock.

The moment the door lock opened, the policeman's eyes became sharp and solemn, staring at her and asking her for an explanation. But she didn't want the slender girl to throw him a grateful look, pushed open the door and walked in, the inside looked a little choked because of the dust, the window was closed, the curtains were tightened, and there was no ray of sunlight outside, she breathed for a while, and turned back to the police and said: "I'll go back and make a note with you later, but I'm in a hurry now, so please wait for me, just a while." ”

After speaking, she walked in and closed the door, and sure enough, she found Gu Jingsheng in the corner of the balcony who was falling asleep against the window.

At that moment, her legs softened, and her little hands trembled and clenched.

He seemed to be asleep.

It's like falling asleep and never waking up.

I don't know if he disappeared for a few days, maybe soon, only two or three days, but it was enough for his father and mother to be anxious. Lin Yitong saw it, his clothes were still the same as those in the hospital that day, the black shirt was unbuttoned, the stubble grew wildly, and even his hair was full of dust.

The slender figure slowly crouched down, crouched in front of him, reached out and shook him gently, trying to wake him up.

Gu Jingsheng felt someone shaking himself in the Chaos Clock, and his eyelids, which had not been open for a long time, slowly opened, tired and sour, but when he saw the figure in front of him clearly, he was stunned, one second, two seconds.

She laughed and said, "Didn't you hear me call you outside the door?" ”

Gu Jingsheng felt that it was painful from the stomach to the heart, and all the way to the throat, and a tired and embarrassed handsome face also showed a smile and said in a dumb voice: "I thought it was a dream......

This kind of dream comes too often, at first he will rush to open the door several times, and then he will not open it when he realizes that it is not.

His voice was hoarse and cracked, he hadn't eaten for some time, and since the day he was beaten, he was in a trance, and he felt that he couldn't stay in the hospital, so he ran back here to avoid the atmosphere. But there were still voices and pictures in her head, and she was shaking all the time, and she was standing in front of him and saying to him, Jingsheng, I don't believe you. I don't want to be with a murderer.

It's not unheard of to crack down on this kind of thing.

Just not once...... Not once was it so big.

So as he spoke, his eyes began to redden, he hadn't drunk water for a long time, but he didn't know that the tears hadn't dried up, and he couldn't help it when he saw her. Gu Jingsheng lowered his head, held her tightly with one hand, and the tighter he gritted, the tighter he gritted, and finally endured the sharp pain in his heart and asked the one he wanted to ask the most: "Tongtong, you are willing to come back because ......"

She smiled and said honestly: "I said the wrong thing that day, I came to apologize to you, I'm sorry Jingsheng I lied, I didn't, I don't believe you." ”

Gu Jingsheng stared at her for a long time before he reacted, the surge in his chest came wave after wave, surging and surging him, his eyes were so sharp that he was painful, but he laughed, holding her wrist and unable to control his strength, the burden of the whole person was all unloaded, and he felt that it was so hard to carry and endure it.

"I know the way......" he said in a dumb voice, feeling that his eyes were hot, and his heart was too, "I know the way ......."

He knew that the day was just a dream, and when he woke up, there was nothing to do, and he had been coaxing himself like this for the past few days, but he didn't even believe it. But I never thought I would really wait.

He's grown so big, but this time he wants to cry, really.

Gu Jingshengfu raised his head again, his pale and embarrassed face faced her, and he smiled tearfully and said in a dumb voice: "Tongtong, I didn't kill anyone. ”

He was like a child, and he said this to her over and over again.

She also nodded, tears welling up in her smile: "I know the truth." ”

She also knew that this was Gu Jingsheng, sometimes he didn't ask anything, didn't say anything, as long as the result was good, he could not care about anything. He used all his patience and tolerance with her, trust and inclusion, and perhaps this is love, the same thing she once did to someone.

It's just that Gu Jingsheng can wait for her to turn back and comfort, but she doesn't know if she can wait for his relief.

"I still want to tell you, but your parents are in a hurry to find you now, and you ......"

"What?" He wanted to know what to do.

The slender man paused, smiled and shook him: "You go wash first, shave your beard, I will prepare something for you to eat, and when you recover a little energy, I will tell you." ”

Gu Jingsheng still didn't want to, buried his head and held her for a while, before he got up under her urging and walked inside.

came out half an hour later, washed up neatly and changed into new clothes, Gu Jingsheng, who was refreshing and handsome, returned to the world, walked to the dining table, couldn't help but smile at her, and picked up chopsticks to deal with his hungry stomach first.

Halfway through eating, he took a few sips of water, stopped moving, raised his eyes, and asked, "What are you going to tell me?" ”

She added the last bit of rice to his bowl: "Jing Sheng, I must admit that the words I said that day were all reasons to prevaricate you, but I said that I wanted to break up and couldn't marry you again, which is true." ”
