Chapter 12: Estrangement and Disparity
Meng Xixi put Jiang Wenjie's sweater away, and lay lazily on the soft bed, pillowing his arm, looking at the ceiling in a daze.
Mom is right, the gap between her and Jiang Wenjie is getting bigger and bigger, and the gap is getting bigger and bigger, every time she misses him, she calls or video chats with him, it's a simple matter of eating and drinking, or, when it's cold, pay attention to adding clothes and keeping warm.
Every time, she took the initiative to contact him, from a simple chat, to impatience.
As she spoke, she became a nagging on her own, and she also attracted his dislike, saying that she was becoming more and more like his mother.
Meng Xixi retracted her troubled thoughts, took out her mobile phone, and wanted to call Jiang Wenjie and tell him that she would go to school to look for him tomorrow, but when she found his phone, she didn't dare to dial it.
Later, I gave up, and I pressed a few times irritably to return to the main page, and the screensaver showed a photo of her and Jiang Wenjie, which was just admitted to university, and they took it together, and the two of them in the photo were a little jerky.
Then opened WeChat and found Jiang Wenjie's WeChat, the last chat was ten days ago, she looked up at the chat record with him a long time ago, and she couldn't see the slightest sweetness, it was all a question and answer, stiff and boring, like fresh water.
Exiting the chat history, she opened his circle of friends again, as before, the circle of friends was empty, thinking that he couldn't see him again, and wanted to take a look at his college life from his circle of friends, and relieve the pain of lovesickness, but the column of his circle of friends was empty.
Is it that he never posts on Moments? Or did he restrict her access?
In both cases, she is convinced that it is the former.
……
……
Meng Xixi happened to have no work in the morning, so she went to buy new sneakers for Jiang Wenjie, then took a sweater, rode an electric car, and happily went to Jiang Wenjie's university.
Meng Xixi rode an electric car, shuttling through the campus with a strong cultural atmosphere, and everywhere you could see couples holding hands, or fighting, or hugging each other, Meng Xixi looked envious, I really hope that she and Wen Jie can be as sweet as them.
At this time, I don't know if he was in class or in the dormitory, when the freshman year started, she sent him to his dormitory, and she still remembered the way.
Looking at the youthful college students around her, although they are of the same age and wear similar clothes, Meng Xixi always feels inferior to them, they are scholars, they are knowledgeable, and she is a part-time worker, who has not even finished high school.
Meng Xixi students envy them, they can enjoy the life of the university without worry, and they can swim in the ocean of knowledge.
But she can't, she opens her eyes every day, and she has to run for her and her mother's three meals a day, busy with their rent, and busy with her mother's daily medical expenses.
When he came to the door of the boys' dormitory, looking forward to the joy of meeting Jiang Wenjie, would he be excited to give himself a deep hug?
With this joy, Meng Xixi dialed Jiang Wenjie's phone.
After a moment of waiting, Jiang Wenjie answered the phone.
"Hey, Wenjie." Meng Xixi was a little excited and clutched the packaging bag of the sweater that her mother knitted for Jiang Wenjie, and her voice was a little more tender than a little woman.
"Sissy, why are you calling me at this time?" Receiving a call from Meng Xixi, Jiang Wenjie was quite surprised, shouldn't she have to work at this time, he put the mobile phone on the table, put it on the keyboard with one hand, and held the mouse with the other, still playing online games with his roommates.
