Chapter 53: The Ivory Tower Tragedy (49)
After lunch, Gao Wenxiang didn't stop for a moment and got on the bus and rushed to the county railway station.
Gao Wenxiang sat on the bus, his heart was more excited than the afternoon sun, and he could meet He Meina in three hours, and then he could spend the summer vacation with his girlfriend this summer.
Gao Wenxiang will feel anxious in his heart every time the bus stops, although he knows that even if he arrives at the train station at a normal speed, he will wait for a long time, but the heart of anticipation is always proportional to the speed of the car, and only the faster the speed, the more excited he will be. As written in the book, longing to see someone, longing to appear in front of each other's eyes in the next second, even if the train on the journey is fast, it is difficult to soothe the heart of the lovesick person.
He Meina's flight arrived at half past two, and as Gao Wenxiang thought, he arrived at the train station at 1:45 o'clock. So, Gao Wenxiang went to find a place where he could withstand the summer sun.
Time passed minute by minute, and at the moment of 2:20, Gao Wenxiang went to the exit of the station. Standing there, Gao Wenxiang thought in his mind that when he saw He Meina, she would definitely give herself a hug in the crowd with a smile on her face, and then the two took the bus together, leaning on each other, blowing the breeze outside the window, telling the excitement after meeting.
The train finally entered the station, and in less than a few moments, the crowd of people who got off the train walked towards the exit of the station. Gao Wenxiang saw He Meina in the crowd at a glance, and saw that He Meina's face was not smiling at all, but with a sense of sadness. Seeing the expression on He Meina's face, the excitement that Gao Wenxiang had just raised in his heart instantly cooled by half.
He Meina walked up to Gao Wenxiang and did give him a hug, but she didn't give Gao Wenxiang the smile he was expecting. That hug made Gao Wenxiang feel no joy in his heart, only the brief body temperature felt by the two bodies leaning together.
"Why don't you look happy?" Gao Wenxiang asked.
He Meina forced out a smile: "I'm fine." ”
Then, Gao Wenxiang carried a heavy suitcase, and the two walked out of the station together.
Gao Wenxiang felt that He Meina's suitcase was heavier than his, and it seemed that He Meina had come here to prepare for a long stay.
Gao Wenxiang took He Meina on the bus, and He Meina seemed to be preoccupied from beginning to end, without speaking, let alone the joy after meeting.
Gao Wenxiang looked at He Meina and kept looking out the window, without a trace of expression on her face.
Facing the scene in front of him, Gao Wenxiang gave He Meina a kiss on the cheek, and began to ask, "What's wrong with you?" ”
"We'll talk about it in the evening." He Meina said quietly.
At that moment, Gao Wenxiang felt an inexplicable loss in his heart, although he didn't know what was going on, but he could read from He Meina's expression that she suddenly came here not for herself.
"Can I live in the village council? After all, I didn't sign up for the summer practice at the college. ”
"It should be possible, anyway, you are also studying administrative management, and the village committee is very welcoming to us college students."
He Meina nodded: "That's good." ”
Along the way, He Meina was always plain and silent, did not interact with Gao Wenxiang, and just looked at the scenery along the way aimlessly.
When Gao Wenxiang saw He Meina's appearance, he was not only puzzled but also helpless, so he had to talk to He Meina about what he had seen and heard during this time.
After arriving at the village committee compound, Li Wenliang and Tian Yujie saw Gao Wenxiang and her girlfriend walk in through the office window.
Tian Yujie couldn't help but say: "Wen Liang, you see Wen Xiang's girlfriend is so beautiful." ”
Li Wenliang nodded: "It looks really temperamental." ”
After finishing speaking, Li Wenliang and Tian Yujie walked out of the office.
Gao Wenxiang took He Meina and stepped forward.
Gao Wenxiang said to He Meina: "Meina, let me introduce to you, this is Senior Brother Li Wenliang and Senior Sister Tian Yujie, they are both from Shanghai University. ”
He Meina smiled slightly: "Senior brother, senior sister, hello." ”
"Hello, hello." Li Wenliang and Tian Yujie said in unison.
"Wen Xiang, you can do it, my girlfriend is so beautiful." Li Wenliang said with a smile.
"Mina, you don't know, Wen Xiang thinks about you every day, and he keeps praising you in front of us whenever he has the opportunity."
He Meina smiled embarrassedly.
"Brother Liang, Sister Tian." Gao Wenxiang wiped the sweat from his forehead at the same time, "You guys are busy first, let's clean up." ”
"Okay."
Gao Wenxiang took He Meina and walked towards the small building where he was staying.
"Why do I look at Wen Xiang's girlfriend and look very unhappy, it shouldn't be a quarrel with Wen Xiang, right?" Tian Yujie said suspiciously.
"No, we quarreled as soon as we met." Li Wenliang said.
He Meina was taken to the upstairs room by Gao Wenxiang, and He Meina looked at the environment inside, although it was not as warm as home, but it was not as bad as she imagined, and there was still a trace of chic in the simplicity.
Gao Wenxiang opened the room he was in: "Mina, look, this is the room I live in." What do you think? You alright? ”
He Meina looked at the interior of the room: "It's okay, much better than I imagined." ”
Gao Wenxiang turned on the air conditioner: "It's too hot, but fortunately there is an air conditioner here." ”
He Meina put the bag down and sat on the bed, her face still sad.
"Mina, what's wrong with you? Ever since you got out of the train station, I've been watching you sullen and worried. ”
He Meina sighed: "Shall I tell you at night?" Let me rest for a moment. ”
"Okay, you take a break, after all, it's been such a long train."
He Meina was lying on the bed at this time, and she didn't choose to say a word to Gao Wenxiang.
"That's right, Mina. Have you eaten? ”
He Meina shook her head.
"Why don't I go out and buy you something to eat now?"
"Don't go, I'm not hungry at all." He Meina said.
"Why don't I go buy some fruit?" As he spoke, Gao Wenxiang was about to leave, but before He Meina could speak, "You just wait here for me for a while, I'll go to the supermarket in front to buy some fruit, and I'll be back soon." ”
After speaking, Gao Wenxiang pushed the door and left.
After Gao Wenxiang walked out of the room, his mind was full of doubts and worries, what happened to He Meina? What happened to her? Why is she, who has always been cheerful, dead today?
After Gao Wenxiang left, He Meina lay on the bed and kept thinking about everything that happened at home, and even recalled the constraints she had been subjected to in the past few years.
As soon as she thought of her troubles, He Meina's heart was like boiling water, which made her upset and worried.
He Meina took out a cigarette and a lighter directly from her bag, then walked straight to the balcony, lit a cigarette and put it in her mouth. She smoked a cigarette while quietly looking out the window at the countryside.
After a cigarette was extinguished, He Meina did not stop for a moment, and then lit the second cigarette and held it in her mouth. He Meina looked at the cigarette box in her hand, and the box of cigarettes she bought yesterday had been half smoked by herself so far.
