Kong Ling stretched, rubbed his shoulders, looked up at his watch, it was already seven o'clock in the evening, and everyone was almost gone. She sorted out the manuscript at hand, turned off the computer, and left work.

Xiao Jinmian had to work overtime tonight, so she ate casually on the side of the road alone. After eating, I wandered around the neighborhood for a while.

Although it was the end of summer, it was still a little cool at night, a gust of wind blew, Kong Ling touched his arm with his hand, and felt cold. It's time to wear long sleeves.

The place where they lived was very close to a university, and Kong Ling was a little depressed, so he wanted to go to the campus for a stroll.

It's summer vacation, and the campus is quieter, but there are people walking around on the road.

Occasionally, a few men walked past her with their shoulders hooked, glanced at her, and then whistled and hummed away.

Kong Ling ignored them and continued to walk forward. When she was tired of walking, she found a chair and sat down on the side of the road.

A couple passed in front of her, and the man kissed the woman, who smiled shyly, hammered the man's shoulder with a small pink fist, said "hate", and ran away. The man jumped up and down after him.

What a beautiful scene! Once upon a time, I was so innocent and happy!

Kong Ling seemed to have returned to his alma mater. This past summer has been a long time because of the wait.

It is said that graduation season is lovelorn season, but it is really true.

In the days when they are about to graduate, men and women who have never been in love are making up for the missing lesson, playing ambiguous, moving true feelings, true and false, and not exciting; Men and women who are in love, either lovers eventually become married, husband and wife both return home, or because of work, they are forced to separate, and from then on, they become strangers.

And she and Xiao Jinmian are one of them.

————————

Xiao Jinmian's home is on the outskirts of Huaqing City, an hour's bus ride away. His mother was the head nurse of a hospital. Since the second semester of his junior year, his mother has been walking around the hospital in various ways, trying to find a place for Xiao Jinmian to stay. Graduation is imminent, and his mother has already taken care of everything, just waiting for Xiao Jinmian to go home for the exam. As long as you can pass the exam, you will be able to go to work immediately.

Xiao Jinmian has been smelling disinfectant water since he was a child and watching the disabled and sick grow up, and he has long been tired of this kind of life. But his mother's life was inviolable, he couldn't twist his arms and thighs, and finally chose this industry. Now that he is about to graduate, he can no longer be at the mercy of his mother, although he ostensibly promised that his mother will definitely go home to work, in fact, he has long been ready to go outside to break through.

Kong Ling's father works in the Education Bureau of Gaolin County, Yunshan City, and is about to retire, so he wants to arrange Kong Ling to work in the Education Bureau before he retires. And her mother is a high school Chinese teacher, knowledgeable and understanding, and thinks that Kong Ling is a girl's family, and it is very good to work in the Education Bureau after graduation, so she doesn't have to show her face much, and she will find a man in the city to marry in the future, and she will have a good life in this life.

Kong Ling once had such a thought, to find a stable job in his hometown, marry a good man who is honest and responsible, teach his husband and children, and live a plain life, and his parents have worked hard to educate him for so many years. But what about Xiao Jinmian? What about their good wishes?

————————

After the thesis defense in May, everyone went home or went to work one after another. Kong Ling was still wandering around campus, and she also applied for several publishing houses, magazines and newspapers. But there has been no news.

That afternoon, Xiao Jinmian invited Kong Ling to a café outside the school, took her hand and said, "Silly girl, I have good news for you, one of my senior brothers works in a medical device company in Beijing. ”

"Oh, that's good." Kong Ling distractedly stirred the coffee in the cup.

"I'm going to go to him, I want to try my courage in Beijing to see if I can find a good job, and by the way, I'll help you keep an eye on it to see if there's a suitable one. When I'm on my feet over there, you'll come over so we don't have to be apart again. ”

Kong Ling stopped, slapped the table, and said, "You're crazy!" ”

"Shhhh Be quiet, I mean really. ”

"And what about your mother's side?"

"Don't worry, I've thought it all through. I told her I was going to Beijing for a few days, and it was like a graduation trip. ”

"But, how can I explain it to my family! You also know that my dad is an old stubborn, and if he does, he won't break my legs......"

"It's okay, when I get to Beijing, find a good job, I'll rent a house again, and then the wood will be completed, and the raw rice will be cooked and cooked, and they will have no choice but to take you."

"Hmph, co-authoring is your real purpose. Living with you? Think beautifully! ”

"I didn't say anything, you said it yourself."

That night, Xiao Jinmian took a car to Beijing. At the moment of separation, the two hugged each other and cried heartbreakingly, and people who didn't know thought they were going to mourn.

————————

After Xiao Jinmian left, Kong Ling felt that it was boring to stay alone on campus, so he thought about going home to accompany his parents, anyway, he was going to Beijing in the future, and he couldn't go home a few times a year, and he couldn't fulfill his filial piety.

After Kong Ling returned home, his parents were very happy and took him to visit several leaders of the Education Bureau, invited them to dinner, gave gifts, and said something that should be said. Kong Ling understood what her parents meant, but she couldn't refuse, it would hurt their hearts, and it would affect their future.

Kong Ling could tolerate these things, but when she woke up one morning, she found that her mobile phone was missing, and her calling card was also lost by her parents. That night, she secretly called Xiao Jinmian on a landline, and when she learned that Xiao Jinmian had found a job in Beijing, she jumped up excitedly. When she turned around, she found her parents staring at her in their pajamas with dark faces. Dad didn't say a word, but walked over and pulled out the phone line.

Mother pointed to her nose and said, "Lingling, if you dare to contact that poor boy in the future, you will never want to leave the house for the rest of your life." ”

It was the first time Kong Ling had seen his mother get so angry.

From that day on, her mother accompanied her every day, eating, sleeping, going to the toilet, watching TV, and shopping...... Tag after. Even when she makes a phone call, she will eavesdrop on the side. She wanted to call someone, so her mother said, "I'll call you for you, and I'll call you." "Can this still be fought?

Kong Ling felt that he was locked in a dark room, completely deprived of his freedom in life.

For the next month, Kong Ling was completely isolated from the outside world. Several times, she wanted to run away from home in the middle of the night. But he had no money on him, and his bank card was confiscated by his parents. In this way, she completely lost contact with Xiao Jinmian.

Here, Xiao Jinmian has found a sales job at a medical device company as an intern. While doing an internship, he looked for a job for Kong Ling over and over again. But she couldn't contact Kong Ling, and no one answered her phone call to his home, so she called her roommate and said that she hadn't been contacted. wrote to her, but I was afraid that Kong Ling would not receive it. left a message to her QQ, but no one replied. Kong Ling inexplicably evaporated from the world.

What a hard time it was! Xiao Jinmian felt that his whole person was hollowed out. He even felt that his coming to Beijing was a conspiracy devised by a non-existent person to separate him and Kong Ling forever.

During the day he worked hard and tried not to think about these things. At night, lying in bed, looking out the window, my heart was extremely panicked. What should I do if I can't contact Kong Ling? Does he want to ask for leave to go to Kong Ling's hometown and rescue her? Could it be that she has changed her mind and has already gone to work at the Education Bureau? Or did her parents introduce a young and promising man with a good family background, and they had already started dating and were ready to get married at the end of the year? When they meet again, maybe it was at Kong Ling's wedding with a strange man?

No, no, no! None of this can happen! Kong Ling can only belong to him, Xiao Jinmian! In this life and this life, he belongs alone!

Almost every night, Xiao Jinmian spends his nightmares.

————————

At the end of June, it's time to leave school. After some hard persuasion, Kong Ling finally got through to his parents and came to the school to go through the procedures for leaving the school. She promised her parents to move her household registration and files back to her hometown, and go home as soon as she completed other formalities. When she left, she even bought a return ticket, and her parents let her go with peace of mind.

When he went to the dormitory management office to check out, Kong Ling met Xiao Jinmian. The moment the two met, it was like being separated for several lives, hugging each other tightly, looking at each other affectionately, and looking at each other for several minutes.

At this time, no matter how beautiful the language is, it will seem pale and weak, and everything is silent.

Two days later, after all the formalities were completed, Xiao Jinmian got on the train to Beijing with a large bag and a small bag. After Kong Ling saw him off, he returned to the dormitory and wrote a long, long letter to break up with Xiao Jinmian. However, she couldn't bear to send it out, so she put the fill in the photo album that Xiao Jinmian gave her at the beginning, and began to pack her things and prepare to go home.

After returning to his hometown, Kong Ling went to work as an intern reporter at a newspaper.

At the end of July, Kong Ling felt that the opportunity had come, so he lied to his parents and said that he would go to Beijing to watch the Olympics and come back after watching it. She took a long leave from her employer, carried a backpack, and stepped on the train to Beijing.

Now, I have been in Beijing for half a month, and my mother calls her almost every day to ask when she will go back. Kong Ling said that he hadn't played enough, so wait.

After a few days, my mother estimated that Kong Ling was almost finished, so she called her and asked: "When will you come back, if you don't come back, your unit won't want you." ”

On the other end of the phone, Kong Ling paused and said, "Mom...... I want to stay in Beijing. ”

"What do you say? Are you with that kid again? ”

"Hmm!"

"You lied to us! You haven't lied to us since you were a kid, you're really ...... I'm. ”

"Mom, I'm sorry, I lied to you. Wait for me ......"

"I'm not your mother—" Mom hung up the phone.

In fact, Kong Ling wanted to say that when she got along, she would take her parents to Beijing to live a good life.

After that day, my mother was seriously ill, and my father never talked to Kong Ling on the phone again, but Kong Ling still felt that everything would be fine with Xiao Jinmian by his side. And for Xiao Jinmian, as long as the two of them are together, everything will be fine.
