43. Freedom (Do you know what it feels like to be lonely?) )
Xia Zhi watched Pan Rui pack his luggage, he didn't speak, and when he sent him to the station, he didn't speak, he was about to get on the train, but she still didn't speak.
He laid down his luggage and took her into his arms, he kissed her hair, kissed her forehead, and she was at his mercy like a wooden man. It was only when he tried to kiss her lips that she twisted her head away.
Pan Rui sighed helplessly, he understood that a hundred words of guarantee were not as good as his real coming.
"Take care of yourself, I left 2,000 yuan under my pillow, buy whatever I like, and eat whatever I want. I'm leaving. ”
Xia Zhi turned his face to look at him: "Who asked you to give me money?" What do you take me for? ”
"That's not what I meant." He smiled wryly, "I want you to spend my money, that's all." ”
He left her two thousand, and just bought another ticket, she knew that he didn't have much money in his hand, and she hurriedly said: "You gave me all the money, so what should you do?" ”
"It's okay, can my mother still charge me for food when I eat at home?" He raised the corners of his lips, nudged her lips before she could react, and let her go.
She watched him get into the car, and the car drove out of the station and disappeared before turning to leave.
He's finally gone. She worked so hard to keep him, and she only delayed their parting for two months.
She's alone now. Walking alone on the road, alone being carried by the hot wind, and facing the difficulties of life alone.
Starting tomorrow, the summer solstice has to adapt to a new way of life.
She can sleep comfortably until seven o'clock, no one will disturb her dreams at night, she doesn't need to worry about whether he eats well in the busy interval between work, she doesn't have to rush back after work, and no one will wait for her to come home and cook.
She is alone, she can eat dinner if she likes, just take it at will, eat enough alone, and the whole family is not hungry.
A person can go anywhere after work, pass by a small shop, and do not need to ask for the opinions of others, go in if he wants, and leave when he wants to leave.
In a way, it seems like a more liberal way of life. Pretty good.
She smiled to herself.
As if to assert her total domination over her body, she walked straight in front of the bus stop. She didn't want to go back yet, and she didn't want to crowd the bus, so she just kept walking. She can do whatever she wants.
She walked along the way, passing by a residential building, and saw a poster on the wall at the entrance of the building, and an art installation exhibition was being held in a unit upstairs, and admission was free.
She went upstairs, the door of the exhibition unit was open, but no one was visiting, and her visit excited a young college student-like person.
This is actually an ordinary house, probably no one lives in it, the living room has TV cabinets, sofas, coffee tables, dining tables and other furniture, but there are no other sundries that contain people's life tracks.
The exhibits are placed on the table or on the floor, and they are all strange things, such as decorations made of plastic water bottles painted with paint, and they are also carefully labeled and introduced with KT boards, all of which are the works of students of the Academy of Fine Arts.
The student led her to introduce them one by one, she didn't know how much she listened, and after a circle, she nodded and thanked her, and before going out, the student stuffed her with a business card, and hoped that she would also leave her contact information, saying that she could be notified of the next event.
She wrote down her QQ number in the message book, stuffed her business card into her bag and left.
Where do you go next? She thought she hadn't stayed long, and when she looked at her watch, it was past twelve o'clock, and she had been wandering around the little exhibition room for more than an hour. But it doesn't matter, the time is hers alone, and she spends it casually.
Xia Zhi doesn't want to eat now, she is not hungry, when to eat and what to eat, it is all up to her to decide.
She walked on again, went to a shopping street, walked from the street to the end of the street, and then walked back to a small shop where she had been in the street, and bought herself a bright red dress.
This color is good, how festive. Wearing it on her, it seems that her face is very ruddy and she is very energetic.
The asking price is more than 200 yuan, which is not a brand of clothes. She cut the price, and it was two hundred, which was still expensive, but she bought it. She has money now, and she can afford it.
Wrapped in red, she went to the restaurant and ordered a ten-inch seafood pizza.
After the waiter asked and understood that she was only one person, he thoughtfully reminded her that she had a six-inch weight, but she insisted on ordering a ten-inch one. First, she can't afford to eat, and second, she can't finish eating if she can't finish eating, and she loves to eat endlessly. A six-inch one has enough material for ten inches.
She had a good appetite, she ate three-quarters of a ten-inch pizza, and of course she ate it too, so much so that when she stood up, she was a little worried that her newly bought skirt would burst.
She had enjoyed enough today, she asked herself, is she happy? She grinned like a fool as she walked, she was sure to be happy, she had no reason to be unhappy.
She didn't know how she got back to the rental house, she had been shopping all day, getting off the bus at 10 o'clock in the evening.
The moment she entered the door, she was suddenly exhausted, as if the door of the house had blocked all her energy from the outside world.
Keeping the door out was all the noise and consolation.
Sensing the heat gushing between her legs, she immediately went to the bathroom. It wasn't quite right, she was five days early. Fortunately, sanitary napkins are prepared.
She took a shower and went to bed early.
When she was taking a shower, Pan Rui called, but she didn't answer, so he left her a message again, mainly to report her safety, and asked her to call him back.
She only texted back, telling him that she was in trouble, tired, and wanted to go to bed early.
Xia Zhi felt that his body was emptied, and when he put down his phone, he was dragged into nothingness. However, in the complete silence of the early hours of the morning, she woke up.
She stroked her aching lower abdomen one after another, got out of bed with difficulty, and ran to the desk to rummage through the medicine box.
Oh...... The ibuprofen was gone, and she forgot to buy it after eating it last time.
Perhaps, go buy a box now? She grabbed her phone and saw that it was almost three o'clock. At this point, are there still open pharmacies? Even if there is, she is a girl who goes out to buy medicine at three o'clock in the morning?
So what should she do?
She flipped through the address book from beginning to end, her thumb pressing the keys made her fingers hurt, and the small screen flashed with a faint green light, like the eyes of a monster, which made her heart chill sharply.
She couldn't find anyone who could answer her phone at three in the morning. She couldn't find anyone who could help her.
She wanted to call Xiao Yiqing, but she was worried that she would have to participate in training tomorrow to prepare for the upcoming start of school, and she definitely needed to rest well.
She misses Pan Rui, she can't call him, he is more than two hundred kilometers away from her. In fact, even if Pan Rui is here, what can he do? It's three o'clock in the morning, and he can't help her.
He will always ask her to drink more hot water, and he doesn't know how to take the initiative to give her a hot water bottle, he doesn't know how to boil a pot of hot porridge for her, and he doesn't know how to help her buy a box of ibuprofen.
He even told her not to take painkillers, saying that it was not good for her health, and the pain would pass.
He said it so easily, and it wasn't him who hurt. Has he ever experienced the taste of his lower abdomen turning like a cement mixer truck, and his flesh and blood are blurred inside?
She couldn't see the phone screen clearly, a layer of mist hung in her eyes, and the whole world began to blur.
At three o'clock in the morning, in a lonely city, she cried uncontrollably, she just wanted an ibuprofen.
