Chapter 087: Broken Thoughts & Depression
Lu Xiaomi actually didn't plan to jump off the building at all.
After sorting out the things in her head, she jumped down from the stone platform and slapped Ji Lan three times without saying anything.
The first slap was for the sentence he said: You jump.
The second slap was for the days when he chased him.
The third slap was to block the breath in the chest.
The crowd downstairs was boiling, Lu Xiaomi took the elevator to the underground garage, followed the arrow to find the ten elevators, went upstairs and went out, it was very quiet outside.
At the same time, Ji Lan walked one staircase at a time, and walked from the rooftop to the first floor, and the first person to rush over was Lu Xiaomi's father.
"Where's the little secret person!?"
"Uncle, she's going home."
"Go home!"
Not only Lu Xiaomi's father, but even Yu Limiao, Gu Ying, his mother and the police beside him couldn't believe it when they heard it.
"I'm sure I'm going home, it's okay." As he spoke, Ji Lan broke Lu Xiaomi's father's hand that grabbed his arm, passed through the crowd with dull eyes, and walked into the darkness alone.
After the police confirmed the safety of the person, they drove away from the community one after another, and the crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed. Ji Lan's mother was frightened, and sat on a nearby bench for a long time before getting up and walking home.
Gu Ying was going to find Ji Lan, and Yu Limiao knew what he wanted to do when he saw him, so he hurriedly grabbed his hand and told him to go back first. It's not too late to ask after a few days.
At this time, Ji Lan came home and wanted to go to see if the girl was not sleeping, but unexpectedly, the door had just opened, and the people inside poked out half of their heads, and heard their cousin ask themselves Lu Xiaomi, Ji Lan didn't want to say anything, urged her to sleep, closed the door and went back to the room.
After a while, Ji Lan's mother returned home, and she hadn't walked a few steps, and she didn't know how much she sighed.
She knocked on her son's door, and she had to ask. But Ji Lan just didn't say anything, but her mother broke her mouth open and didn't say anything.
"I'll go back."
"Where are you going?!"
Ji Lan had already taken his bag and walked to the door, and threw a sentence: "Go back to my own apartment, call me if there is anything." "Anyway, it's really gone.
Gu Ying drove fast, and it didn't take half an hour to arrive at the apartment, sitting on his temporary bed, it was hard to imagine that Lu Xiaomi would have the idea of jumping off the building. Leaning back on the sofa, he kept sending messages to Ji Lan in his hand.
Toot toot.
Ji Lan: What for?
Gu Yingshun sat up immediately: Where are you?
Ji Lan: On the way back.
Gu Ying: ????
No more follow-up.
Gu Ying was like an old man, touching his chin and pacing back and forth in the living room.
"Who is it?"
Ji Lan stood outside the door and sighed helplessly: "It's me." ”
Gu Ying suddenly realized, and stopped at the door with a run.
"Why are you back?"
Ji Lan took the strap of her schoolbag and threw it on the sofa, and sat down on the chair, "Otherwise, should I sleep on the street?" ”
Gu Ying: "I didn't mean that, did you eat it?" I'm going to order takeout, so you can eat whatever you want. ”
Ji Lan stood up and walked towards the bathroom, "No, you order what you want to eat, I took a shower and slept, don't bother me!" ”
Listening to the tone of his voice, Gu Ying completely dispelled the idea of asking him, lay on the bed in a complicated mood, gradually lost his appetite, and simply threw away his mobile phone.
Early in the morning, there was a sound of rain outside the window, Gu Ying turned over, hugged the pillow and continued to sleep, after a while, he felt that something was licking the soles of his feet, opened his eyes slightly, and saw that a dirty little orange cat had jumped on his bed.
"Ahh
"Lanlan, how did this thing get in!?" While speaking, Gu Ying covered himself with a pillow and stared at the poor kitten with fearful eyes.
"What are you screaming for?"
"No, isn't this little thing too dirty?"
Ji Lan bent down and picked up the kitten, wrapped a dry towel around it, "Isn't it clean if you wash it?" As for you, are you scared like this? Get up! ”
"......" Gu Ying put on his slippers in confusion and walked into the bathroom to wash. Next to him, Ji Lan was bathing the orange cat.
"Uh...... What benefits have you given it, so obedient, you can do whatever you want it to do? ”
Ji Lan didn't bother to take care of him, so she buried her head and carefully rubbed the dirt on the orange cat's tail.
"Don't you need to go to work today?" Gu Ying spit out the toothpaste foam in his mouth and asked.
"No, it's you, can you sleep lazily if you're the boss?"
Gu Ying shrugged his shoulders: "Today's weekend, you forgot." ”
Ji Lan really didn't remember today's date, "Hmm." ”
"Did you sleep well last night?"
Ji Lan: "Average. ”
"Help me with that new towel."
Gu Ying opened the cabinet and looked for it, "Where?" ”
"Look up."
"Oh, it turned out to be here," Gu Ying handed over, "Is the things in the kitchen well organized?" ”
"You didn't clean it up, so you don't need to be proud!"
"Yes, brother, you and ......"
"Ahem, cough, cough," Ji Lan hugged the cat and stood up, "I'll go out and buy some cat food, you should make breakfast." ”
"Huh? No, I've never cooked, you let me do it, are you sure? ”
"Eat whatever you want," Ji Lan said as she took out her umbrella, "Or, help you bring it back?" ”
"Bring it back, I'll eat whatever you want." After Gu Ying finished speaking, he poked his head out, and stretched out a hand with a smile and gestured a V to Ji Lan.
Yu Limiao kept her mouth shut and didn't talk about last night, although her mother asked her curiously what she knew, and her father didn't say anything, but she could see that he was actually worried, after all, Lu Xiaomi, who was going to jump off the building, was not a stranger.
Now as long as you walk in the community, even on the bus back, you will always hear someone say about the girl who jumped off the building, and guess how old she is and where she lives......
There are also people who are inquiring about Ji Lan's family, and they are saying it repeatedly, as if their efforts will be in vain if they don't solve this mystery.
A few days later, Ji Lan's father was discharged from the hospital, and at this time the wind outside had gradually weakened, but the words about Ji Lan and Lu Xiaomi still floated into his ears, and he was already dissatisfied with his son, and his stomach was full of anger at this time, and when he got home, he didn't listen to his wife's persuasion at all, and called Ji Lan to ask him to go home immediately.
Ji Lan knew that there would be such a day, and it happened that he was okay in his hand, so he came out of the apartment and took the bus home.
Before entering the door, Ji Lan heard the sound of smashing things in the house, and his footsteps naturally stopped, and he naturally continued to walk, stopped at the door, took out the key that had not been used for a long time, crunched, and opened the door.
He never thought that his father would smash a water cup at this time, but fortunately, the cup passed through his face and did not hit.
"Ji Lan, what did you bastard do to make Lu Xiaomi jump off the building!?"
Every word was mixed with anger and anger, and Ji Lan stood still and paused, not speaking.
The thunderous face of his father was the second time Ji Lan saw it, and the last time was because he learned that he did not take the postgraduate entrance examination, but got a tour guide certificate.
"You won't be allowed to leave this house unless you make it clear today!!"
Ji Lan's mother was more anxious than him, her face was full of beads of sweat that came out of her urgency, looking at the old one who was angry, her small eyes didn't move, she had angina, and she pressed her heart to ventilate.
"Speak!"
Ji Lan hesitated for a while, and his face did not change: "What to say?" ”
The father took off his shoes and was about to throw them over, when he saw that the soles were not thick enough, so he stepped barefoot on the floor and went to the kitchen to bring a rolling pin, and pointed it to his son's face:
"Are you embarrassed to ask me what to say, what do you say!?"
"There's not much to say." Ji Lan just wanted to say this.
"You ......"
Ji Lan's mother hurriedly supported her husband, pointed to her son and asked, "Have you gone to see Xiao Mi?" How is she now? ”
"I don't know."
The two old men were stunned.
Ji Lan's mother's tone became stiff: "You don't know? How could you not know? She almost jumped off the building because of you, why don't you go and take a look? Son, what's wrong with you? ”
Ji Lan felt that this question was ridiculous, he had clearly done nothing, and he had never wanted to hurt anyone, so how could he be as if he had committed a heinous crime.
"Lu Xiaomi is a prank, as for why he did it, I don't know."
After speaking, Ji Lan raised his head and met his father's eyes that wanted to kill him: "I guess she is sick!" With that, Ji Lan had nothing to explain, looked at his mother's face, and turned to leave home.
Ji Lan knew that he was doing this, and it was cruel to say this, like a cold-blooded and ruthless snake, which was terrifying. But if you are not ruthless now, you will completely cut off Lu Xiaomi's thoughts, won't you also hurt her in the future?
A week after jumping off the building, Ji Lan began to inquire about Lu Xiaomi, and the only way to think about it was to ask Ling Xiaoxiao.
When Ling Xiaoxiao received a call from Ji Lan and guessed what he wanted to ask, she was a witness to the whole process of Lu Xiaomi's liking of Ji Lan, and she understood all the sadness and bitterness in it that others didn't understand.
It just so happened that she wanted to ask Ji Lan how she could be so ruthless and ignore it.
On the construction site behind the south gate of the community, one person stood on the side of the road, one person squatted on the other side, and there was an excavator digging more than ten meters away, and the rumbling noise was very much in line with the minds of the two.
On the road that has not yet been completed, there are still people passing by, one person, two people, and three people......
Ling Xiaoxiao raised his head and looked at the sun above him, squinted his eyes to look at Ji Lan's back, and threw out a sentence:
"What did you do earlier?"
The voice was not loud, but Ji Lan heard it clearly, turned his head and glanced at it a few times: "I didn't do anything." Is she okay now? ”
"What do you say!? You can jump off the building for you, but you let her die, seriously, Ji Lan, I really didn't expect you to be such a vicious man, it disappoints me so much! ”
At the end, there was a sigh.
Ji Lan curled the corners of her mouth and smiled: "Do you mean that I should be led by her nose for the rest of my life?" You should know what's going on, and if you're really worried about her, persuade her not to spend her mind on someone who won't like him, it's just a waste of time. ”
Ling Xiaoxiao was speechless. As she knew, Ji Lan had indeed never had that kind of intimate action or title to Lu Xiaomi, well-behaved, and even very rigid. It is indeed Lu Xiaomi who has been pestering him, like a child who has not grown up.
Thinking about it, she figured it out for Lu Xiaomi, if you can't get it, no matter how clingy you are, it's just annoying and annoying, and it's awkward or wrong to do anything.
Especially for a man like Ji Lan.
"And then?"
Ji Lan continued: "Then you should tell me how she is, even if we can't even be friends, at least I'm at fault." ”
Ling Xiaoxiao stood up, clapped her hands, and blew off the yellow ash of her palms, "Xiaomi, she moved home, and she has to see a psychiatrist every week, and her condition was not good some time ago, like a nervous disorder." Yesterday it was a little better, one person was able to sleep, basically no problem. ”
"Hmm. Didn't the uncle take care of her? ”
