Part 2: The Ivory Tower Tragedy Chapter 12

As Zong Wenbo said, he will use his actions to express his love for Meng Ting.

After Chinese New Year's Eve passed, Zong Wenbo couldn't wait to send a message to Meng Ting. For Meng Ting, nearly half of the leisure time in the day is spent replying to Zong Wenbo's messages.

Since expressing his rejection to Meng Ting a few years ago, Zong Wenbo has changed his ways, and then in the process of chatting with Meng Ting, the content of the messages he sent is basically a brief chat, talking about his life, talking about his university, and sometimes looking forward to the future. Whenever he talked about a wonderful place, Zong Wenbo would praise Meng Ting from the side, saying that she was as beautiful and pure as the nature of her hometown.

After seeing Zong Wenbo's boasting about herself, Meng Ting often felt embarrassed. Living in the newly built small building, in addition to reading books and meeting relatives and friends every day, it is to chat with Zong Wenbo, Meng Ting felt at that moment that the life she thought was lonely was now full of all of a sudden, and the colors in it also changed with the progress of the days. However, no matter how cheerful the chat was, Meng Ting's deepest feeling was still the same as usual, Zong Wenbo couldn't enter his heart, he was a senior of mine, and he could also be said to be a friend of mine. The emotions that have been buried in the company for up to six years cannot be replaced by a short chat.

After every chat with Zong Wenbo, Meng Ting thought about how embarrassing it would be to meet Zong Wenbo in the Propaganda Department after the start of school, after all, it was the first time she was confessed, and the first time she faced the matter of rejecting a boy and getting along again. Chatting on your phone is a way to avoid embarrassment, but it's another thing to come face to face.

Reading her borrowed literary masterpieces, Meng Ting thinks of reality every time she reads a touching chapter. Life is sometimes a joke that loves to play tricks on people, the people you like seem to be thousands of miles apart, and the people who don't feel it regard you as their favorite, people who have gone through a lifetime, as if they are competing with the goddess of life, or gambling with her.

In the past few days, Meng Ting has fallen in love with Taiwanese writer Sanmao's "You Are My Dream". She checked on the Internet, and Sanmao's life was in the process of competing with fate. For Sanmao, traveling and reading are the two stars in life, and the happiest and most painful are mixed in them.

Sanmao, a girl who dares to love and hate, never obeys any fateful arrangement, she sees a photo of the Sahara Desert and senses the nostalgia of her previous life, so she decides to move there and marry Jose, the man who is in love with her. After a lifetime, he never played cards according to common sense, just to find the light of his soul, and vividly showed the gentle and energetic marriage in the wilderness of the Sahara Desert. As Sanmao said in the book: "Every day's life and challenges burn a new soul in that indescribable wasteland." Find the true meaning in the limits of life and death. "The desert is a dream that never fades, and when the storm passes, it is as flat as the sand and the blue sky is like a wash. It's still called eternal.

To be a girl who dares to love and hate, and never forgets to find her original self is happy, worthy of envy, and even more worthy of people's yearning. Reading Sanmao's wonderful article, Meng Ting kept looking forward to the future, and when she graduated from college in the future, could she hold hands with her other half and go on a long-distance trip, with only you and the scenery in her eyes.

On the evening of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, just after dinner, before she entered the bedroom, Meng Ting heard the sound of a mobile phone call.

Meng Ting picked up her phone and saw that it was Gao Wenxiang, first surprised and then calmed down. Meng Ting felt very strange in her heart, obviously she was a friend who had been with her for many years, and she would be surprised to see his call.

Meng Ting picked up Gao Wenxiang's phone.

"Meng Ting, Happy New Year"

"Happy New Year."

"What are you up to?"

"What else can I do, busy with the New Year."

There was no sound on Gao Wenxiang's side.

"Do you have anything to do with me?" Meng Ting asked.

"It's nothing, I'll talk to you for a while." Gao Wenxiang seemed to struggle to squeeze out a sentence.

"Why don't you talk to your girlfriend?" Meng Ting had a hint of sarcasm.

"Who said you have to find a girlfriend for a chat?"

Meng Ting couldn't think of what to say, and fell into a calm down.

"Meng Ting, I saw the journal you wrote when you came home from vacation."

"What's wrong with the logs?"

"I read it's very sad, is there something on my mind?" Gao Wenxiang felt that he was knowingly asking.

"It's nothing, it's just a feeling." Meng Ting replied in an extremely calm tone.

"It's fine."

"By the way, how are you having in Hangzhou?"

"It's okay, it's just a little...

"What's wrong?" Meng Ting asked suspiciously.

"The gap between me and her is quite big, bigger than I thought." Gao Wenxiang said with a sense of loss.

"I think you're thinking a little too much, since people have chosen you, they must like you very much in their hearts, don't always think about the gap or something."

"But a gap is a gap, and it can't be eliminated all at once. If my girlfriend were you... ”

"Don't talk about that." Meng Ting interrupted Gao Wenxiang's words, "There is no if-and-do for this kind of thing. ”

Gao Wenxiang heard a trace of anger from Meng Ting's tone, and at the same time felt a little brazen.

"Meng Ting, do you know? I was actually quite unhappy on the way back from Hangzhou alone. It was supposed to be a journey for the four of us, but I didn't expect to go back alone. ”

"It's nothing, after all, we have passed the age of childhood, and we have our own lives."

Meng Ting remembered that the small talk with Gao Wenxiang that day lasted for nearly two hours, and what she said was just like what Gao Wenxiang said, it was completely small talk.

Meng Ting clearly felt in her heart that she and Gao Wenxiang both had something to say in their hearts, but they just couldn't say it to each other.

The reality is tragic, the two of them are no longer at the age of talking and laughing in the past, and more importantly, there is the embarrassment they face, Gao Wenxiang is a person who has a girlfriend after all, and his love for him, the other party knows it. Thinking of this, Meng Ting felt that her story was particularly bizarre, and she didn't know if others had such an experience as herself, holding her mobile phone to chat with her beloved, but this beloved already had a significant other.

After hanging up Gao Wenxiang's phone, Meng Ting controlled herself not to think more, instead of trying to think about some troublesome things, it was better to enrich her day during this winter vacation. Pushing open the window, the mountains are so majestic, the air is so fresh, and the life of nature is so vivid. If you think about it carefully, there are many things around you that can be worth nostalgia and reverie.
