Chapter 5 Doubts

Just when I was falling into memories, my dad drove home in a car, and when I saw the flickering lights in front of my house, as well as the propaganda that made it difficult for everyone to go out due to the epidemic, and my grandmother and mother standing at the door of the house in the cold wind, I unconsciously fell into deep self-blame. If it weren't for my bestial desires, Xiaoling wouldn't have died, and my parents wouldn't have been so worried. As soon as I got out of the car, my mother came over and asked earnestly, "Are you okay?" If you're hungry, hurry into the house and eat. Without saying a word, I went into the house, sat down by the stove, and could barely eat with my hands, but I was in a mood at the moment, and I couldn't eat at all. In order not to worry them, I barely ate a little and went upstairs to sleep.

Seeing this neat room, this is Xiao Ling cleaned up before leaving, she is always like this, in the past, after we opened the room, she had to tidy up the hotel sheets and quilts, this habit has been maintained until now. I stepped forward, lifted the quilt, and a letter fell out, I picked it up and put it aside, lay down on the bed, opened it and read it.

Jiang Yu:

By the time you read this letter, I may no longer be there. Seeing this, you may have a lot of questions, but what I want to tell you is, don't delve into this matter, behind this matter, there is a price you can't afford. Haven't you always hated me, and the fact that I can die in front of you can be regarded as an explanation of what I did back then. In the days to come, a down-to-earth life, as if I had never been here. Remember, don't pursue the matter again!

The letter was handwritten, most likely written by her when I went downstairs for dinner, and then quietly placed it under the quilt as I left. After reading this letter, I was already very puzzled, and I was even more puzzled. So I took out a pen and paper and wrote down all my doubts:

According to common sense, she is definitely a well-behaved and obedient girl, and she will never casually date on social software? I usually don't dare to meet a stranger, let alone have a relationship with a stranger? Is it really because of the past few years, she has changed? Is it really because of the money?

Yang Yuan's gang has been a soldier many years ago, and according to common sense, they should have been almost educated, and they haven't heard of them when they came back a few years ago. The reason why I felt that they had done too much evil was because of the estimation of their own hopes.

Daddy is too abnormal today, isn't he? His own son was beaten like this, and he didn't say a word.

Why did Zhou Ling ask me not to pursue this matter anymore, and why did she see me before she died? Still having a relationship with me, is this all their calculation?

As I was writing this, my thoughts were interrupted by a knock on the door.

Who is it?

I.

It turned out to be my dad's voice.

Wait, I'll open the door for you right away.

Opening the door, my father sat on the edge of the bed and looked at me quietly, it was an unprecedented look, both anger and helplessness, and a trace of unwillingness.

Dad, what's wrong with you? Am I all right? Why are you looking at me like that?

It's okay, I'll just look at you, does the wound still hurt?

It's been a long time since it didn't hurt, but did you suffer less when you were a child? It's nothing.

Well, then you should rest early. After saying that, my father got up and prepared to leave, and when he was about to close the door, he turned back to me and said: She is a good girl, worthy of trust.

Dad, what do you mean? I didn't get it. Before I could finish my sentence, the door was closed, and I left a sentence and went to bed early.

It's all like this, I'm still a ghost. This night, I was completely insomnia, thinking repeatedly, repeatedly reading the letter left by Xiaoling, repeatedly opening WeChat, going to see her circle of friends, hoping to find a little clue, just add friends and make a direct appointment, I didn't care about turning over her circle of friends, rummaging through the entire circle of friends, there are only three photos in total: the first one shows the time is September 13, 2019, and the photo was taken at the Oriental Pearl on the Bund; The second chapter was taken on December 31, 2019, New Year's Day, across the Chinese New Year's Eve, the background of the photo is an ancient town, a bit like Lijiang and a bit like a phoenix, and there is also the name of an inn in the background, called, Hua Xie is silent; The third photo was taken at Enshi Airport on January 21, 2020. Wait, when I saw the third one, I had a cold shiver all over my body, on January 21, 2020, I just got off the plane from Enshi, and then turned the car to Icheon, where my brother picked me up and went home, how did this seem to be predestined or pre-arranged. I couldn't help but zoom in on the photo to see if there were any clues, and the background was full of people and cars, no different from other photos.

Enshi, when I mention this place, I can't help but think of another person, who is also a girl, my former colleague, Zhang Lin, a girl who is very similar to Zhou Ling in all aspects. They are not tall, they are also very thin, the most fatal point is that they have a very high IQ, Zhou Ling's IQ should be around 130 according to inaccurate estimates, and my IQ is only 110 at most, so when I was studying before, I was always crushed by her in various ways. The same is true for this Zhang Lin, my colleagues used to match me and her in various ways, but in the end I didn't chase her, and the last person I saw on the day I left after chasing was also her, and then my enthusiasm also retreated, so I simply deleted my friends, and the long pain is better than the short pain.

I looked at the letter that Zhou Ling left me again, the paper was the letterhead paper in my room, the handwriting was crooked, it should have been written lying on the bed, there was no envelope, just a piece of paper, folded. I imitated the scene in the TV series, put the letter under the light, and put a little water, but all this was useless, and I almost burned it with fire, and I gave up on the idea when I thought that it was the only thing between us, and it could be regarded as a souvenir.

I got up again, flipped through our college graduation photos, looked at them, and found Zhou Ling at a glance, she was still 15 degrees sideways, facing forward, smiling, still so charming. looks like a young woman with a successful career, and she has changed too much in the past four years of college. Looking at the photo, I smiled helplessly: But the beauty didn't let me, but I was separated by yin and yang.

Put down the photo, go back to bed, turn off the lights and lie down, destined to have no sleep tonight.
