57. The past
"Yes! I'm really not a thing, so, tell me, what the hell has happened all these years? Yang Chen repeatedly relented, so that Zhang Xiao finally relieved the depression in his heart, and the fist in his hand stopped.
After the two men fought for a while, they were able to sit down, look at each other, and talk about the past.
"That's what I heard about later." Zhang Xiao rubbed his fists, it really hurt a little, I think Yang Chen is even worse. It's okay, so I didn't hide my fist from him, and I was sturdy. Zhang Xiao still respected him as a man in his heart, and continued: "Back then, I heard that Lei Lei had a big fight with Uncle Liang for you, and that was the first time she ran away from home when she was so old, just to run to find you. But I don't know what happened to you at that time, anyway, she didn't find you, but she didn't worry that her Uncle Liang ran out to find Lei Lei. Who knows, there was a car accident halfway through, alas! When Lei Lei rushed to the hospital, she said that she hadn't even seen her for the last time! Makes her cry ......"
Yang Chen also clenched his fists, which was roughly the same as what Liang Lei said when she collapsed that day: "What happened later? ”
"What later! Can you imagine how miserable Lei Lei was at that time? You also know her relationship with Uncle Liang. Her mother even thought that it was because of Lei Lei that Uncle Liang would die. So at that time, all the blame was blamed on Lei Lei, you must know that at that time, her mother was also recovering from a serious illness, and it was said that she was still in the stage of recuperation and chemotherapy. As a result, he was hit very hard by Uncle Liang's incident, and his old illness recurred all of a sudden. That's when Lei Lei took a break from school, and while she had to take care of her mother, she was still looking for you. Exercise! I'm angry when I talk about it now! At that time, she was still thinking about looking for you, but her aunt found out! Zhang Xiao slammed his fist on the table, and now that he thinks about it, he still gritted his teeth and his eyes were red.
Yang Chen listened quietly, his face was pale, he didn't have to think about it, he knew what Liang Lei had experienced during that time. And where was he then? is still choking with her, and she feels that she was humiliated by her parents and hid in a turtle shell.
"And then?" Finally, Yang Chen squeezed out a little voice and asked.
Zhang Xiao also held back for a long time, as if he was forced to suppress back the tears that were about to burst out of his eyes, and said: "Auntie's health was already not as good as before at that time, and Uncle Liang hit her hard after his death, so the two of them ...... Very much in love. When Uncle Liang was alive, he was a ...... to his aunt She found out that Lei Lei was still not giving up, and was still secretly looking for you, so ...... So in a fit of rage, he left a suicide note and jumped off the building. ”
Yang Chen's fingernails had already pinched into his flesh, but he didn't feel any pain at all, this little thing, compared to Liang Lei's pain at that time, was nothing!
"Moreover, when Auntie jumped off the building, it is said that Lei Lei happened to be downstairs, and she saw her mother die in front of her eyes, you say, can she not go crazy?!" Speaking of this, Zhang Xiao couldn't wait to rush forward and beat the man in front of him again, so that he could eliminate the hatred in Liang Lei's heart.
But seeing that Yang Chen was already expressionless, his face was as white as a wax statue, and he would die suddenly at any time, he still resisted this impulse.
Later, Lei Lei became depressed, and she committed suicide twice, but she was unsuccessful and was rescued. From the hospital to the nursing home, it has almost become her daily routine in the past few years. Zhang Xiao's tears finally fell, this is the hair he grew up with. still remembers that when Liang Lei was the most sick, he didn't even know him. Where is the proud princess since childhood, I think she can still bully herself, and then see that righteous, bright and delicate girl!
Yang Chen thought that he could listen to the whole story calmly, but the trembling and wooden-cut nails betrayed him.
I don't remember how I was separated from Zhang Xiao in the end, Yang Chen returned to the capital almost in a trance, and he locked himself in his room for a long, long time. Eventually, when he came out again, he reverted to the man with a resolute face.
He figured it out, it was a blessing to be able to meet Liang Lei again, it was God who gave him another chance to atone for his sins and fight for it again. This time, he would not give up easily and allow the two of them to miss again......
"Not bad." A burst of sparse applause pulled Yang Chen back to the scene of the simulation game, only to suddenly realize where he was sitting.
Looking at Liang Lei's slightly excited and somewhat evasive eyes, Yang Chen felt indescribably distressed in his heart. Back then, she enjoyed the applause the most, as well as her pride and her wantonness.
"It's getting better and better." Even Tang Yuting had to admit that this girl was born with a good voice, although she has not undergone professional vocal training, it is rare to be able to sing like this.
Liang Lei nodded politely in thanks, but when it was Yang Chen's turn to comment, he didn't say a word, and directly transferred the microphone to the other judges around him.
This made everyone present wonder, and they couldn't see Yang Chen's attitude towards Liang Lei. However, everyone also knows that these two people don't seem to be dealing with each other well, Liang Lei doesn't buy Yang Chen's account as the director, and Yang Chen doesn't treat her as politely and tolerant as he does to other players, the two are more-for-tat.
Liang Lei saw that Yang Chen was noncommittal to herself, and even omitted her evaluation. I couldn't help sneering in my heart, he really would declare a personal vendetta. But since he didn't take the initiative to attack, he couldn't say anything. After nodding his head again and thanking her, he returned to the audience, and Yang Chen never looked back at her again.
Soon, the comprehensive results of the four simulated competitions came out, Qiao Shanshan and Meng Hao were among the best, and Liang Lei was in the lower middle of the stream, after all, she did not play well enough in the previous simulation competition. Although Liang Lei was a little uncomfortable, she still accepted this fact.
After the training camp and before the official competition, there are a few days of rest, which is free to move. The contestants can also go back to prepare separately, but Liang Lei chose to stay in the capital, just for a few days, I really don't want to run around.
So I found a cheap and convenient hotel to live in, waited for the game to start, and I could just walk around these days, and after coming to the capital, I was locked up in the training camp every day, and I didn't even go to the street once.
But I don't know why, Liang Lei always felt that someone was following her in the past two days, but she didn't see who it was. But when I think about it, it's impossible, the game hasn't started yet, I have a name at most, but I'm not a celebrity, who would be so boring to follow me. Then he laughed self-deprecatingly into a small stall on the side of the road and ordered a bowl of noodles.
At this moment, there was a black Mercedes-Benz in the parking space on the side of the street, and the person sitting in the black window was Yang Chen.
He had been quietly following Liang Lei for two days, and Yang Chen probably felt that he was crazy, and he actually put down so many things and didn't do them, and ran to follow a woman. In the past two days, she was very quiet, except for shopping, most of the time she spent in the hotel. Several times Yang Chen actually wanted to go up, but when he was about to kick the door, he was cowardly again. He wasn't at all sure if his presence would make her choose to escape.
This time, I finally mustered up the courage to get out of the car, and when I wanted to catch up, I suddenly saw a strange man sitting in front of Liang Lei's table, a man in a police uniform. This made him stagnate, so he walked briskly over, stopping in a position where he could hear and see the two men talking without being noticed by the other party, and hiding in the shadows.
"How could it be so coincidental? I can meet you on the street, haha...... Old classmate, it's really fateful. The man sat down and didn't ask the other girl: Can I sit here?
Liang Lei was looking down to play with her mobile phone, and when she looked up in fright, she saw Zhao Xiaotian, who was smiling, wearing a uniform, sitting opposite her. I got stuck there all of a sudden, and I didn't know what to say for a while.
"I said I haven't seen you for ten years, why have you become so unwitty, you were a little fox back then!" Zhao Xiaotian laughed, looking at Liang Lei's stunned face, which made him feel better.
"How do you ...... Over here? You are now ...... The police? Finally, Liang Lei held back a sentence.
"Well, the assistant police, but it's not formed. Passing by here after work, this is the only way home for me, I didn't expect to see you, of course I want to come and say hello! Zhao Xiaotian also ordered a bowl of noodles for himself, and it seemed that he was indeed very familiar with the owner of this shop.
"That's it!" Liang Lei smiled slightly embarrassedly, she didn't expect to meet him again here. If you have to say fate, at this moment, Liang Lei feels that it must be fate.
"Are you passing by here after work?" Zhao Xiaotian took out a pair of chopsticks and wiped them.
"No, I came here from shopping." Liang Lei replied truthfully.
"Huh? Shopping? I don't think there's much to do around here. "Zhao Xiaotian doesn't know why, he really can't understand women.
Liang Lei's face had already come up, she chuckled and took a bite, and said, "No, just casually stroll, and I'll come here." ”
"Are you really in a good mood, or are you in a bad mood? So come out and hang out. Zhao Xiaotian asked with a smile.
"Uh...... No, just nothing, just out for a walk. "This is really a difficult topic, Liang Lei thought to herself.
"Oh, that looks like you're pretty comfortable right now. How's your dad? Zhao Xiaotian still smiled brightly, and asked in a different topic.
The chopsticks in Liang Lei's hand paused, and after a while, she raised her head and replied, "He has passed away, many years." ”
"......" Zhao Xiaotian swore that he didn't mean it, he just wanted to talk about the past when he saw Liang Lei's embarrassment. The expulsion has long been taken to heart. It's just that I didn't expect Liang Lei to answer like this, which made Zhao Xiaotian at a loss for a while.
