Chapter 84: The Origin of Emotion
The trip to Tibet made me fully realize my own insignificance and the drama of the coincidence of all things in the world.
All of a sudden, my emotional life was reset to zero, back to square one.
A few days after I came back, I still couldn't control my emotions, I wanted to go to the Lan Gu Club to have a look, and even from the bottom of my heart, there was still a glimmer of hope, how I longed that the rumors about her were all false!
However, the results disappointed me.
Lan Gu seemed to have evaporated from the world all of a sudden, and disappeared without a trace along with the clubhouse.
The reason for this is unknown, but the fact that she left quietly, without even a simple greeting when she left, seemed to confirm my fears.
Everything is real! Xiao Man didn't lie!
Lan Gu's departure, like Ah Hong, is even more cruel to me.
I am so attached to her and trust her!
I'd rather not believe in the bloody facts, I originally planned to see her after returning from Tibet, explain the previous things clearly, and then look at our various possibilities in the future, however, the facts once again gave me a heavy blow, all these originally designed scripts were torn apart by reality, where is the future?
After calming down, I think Lan Gu may have been arranged by the Beijing official to go to another secret place, right?
Her clubhouse business is not a profit-making project per se, but just a means to connect with people.
However, I may never know the true answer to what kind of feelings Lan Gu has for me.
Regardless of whether I follow the movements of my hometown or not, there is still some information coming to me.
Xiaowei's life is gradually not getting better.
The relationship between the magistrates and the merchants began to feel distant.
With the continuous intensification of inspections by the government discipline inspection commissions, the government's business departments have begun to dodge their work, and officials of all sizes have begun to avoid specific affairs, lest they do something wrong and lose their errands.
The merchant has money in his hand, but he can't give it away, he wants to do something, but he doesn't know who to go to.
Playing leather ball and tai chi has become the new trend of some bureaucracy.
Xiaowei's business in collusion with officials and businessmen was forced to stop, and half of the brothers' business was closed, and he seemed to have seen the end of his company's development.
Xiao Man is bent on regaining control of his mining farm, however, due to environmental governance, and the follow-up managers are laymen, the mining farm itself has been somewhat unable to operate, and the grand occasion of queuing up to buy mineral powder in the mining area is gone forever, and the mining business has become a chicken rib, tasteless, and it is a pity to abandon it, and it has lost the meaning of contention.
Xiaoman's godfather was targeted by the inspection of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, and he has been taken away from Shuanggui and is investigating the facts of the crime.
People keep coming from my hometown, and they give me a discordant local sound.
Xiaoman called me many times and invited me to go back to inspect the project and do things together, but I politely declined.
My real estate business in Beijing was affected by industry purchase restrictions, and I was in a half-dead state, and most of my sales ran away, and I changed my career to sell insurance.
All of a sudden, the days seemed to lose their color.
I closed a few branches, lost my enthusiasm for work, and I was listless every day, feeling that life was boring.
After two more months, the weather gradually warmed up.
Summer is coming.
In the summer in Beijing, the air is as dull as if people have been put in a steamer, and the whole body is hot and dry.
The weather is hot and dry, coupled with the poor mood, my life is not only unable to keep up the spirit, my stomach is like a dog, snapping and sticking out my tongue, rolling all the heat into the depths of my body, irritable and helpless.
One afternoon, there were a few dark clouds in the sky, and the air was filled with the smell of dust rolled up by a heat wave.
I'm sitting in my office, browsing through the investment information.
Inadvertently, a piece of real estate-related news caught my attention.
"Are you still struggling to find the house you want? A returnee girl will give you the perfect solution! ”
This is followed by a string of numbers.
The ad itself wasn't very appealing, and the numbers on the back surprised me.
The numbers are so familiar!
That's right, it was a call from a woman I've always been obsessed with!
"Is she back?"
I said to myself.
At the same time, my heart began to feel uneasy.
I leaned close to the computer screen and double-checked the numbers.
I felt as if the blood all over my body was congealing, and I held my breath and looked at it over and over again.
That's right, it's really Lin Xue'er's call!
In the past few years, in order to completely get rid of unnecessary emotional entanglements, I changed my phone, moved my address, sold the real estate related to her, refused to accept her emails, blocked her all possible contact methods, and always wanted to completely disappear from her world.
We haven't heard from each other all the time, and things seem to be going the way I designed them to go.
Although I have everything about her in my heart, I never thought of reaching out to her again because of her choice and her ruthless confession. In my heart, I hate her, even if it's narrow-minded, but it's true.
Although I am always haunted by dreams, I am different from Ding Ling, I have been wishing her on the other side of the ocean in my heart to live a truly happy life.
How humble is this blessing?!
This is humble love!
Sometimes, I despise my childishness and affection.
When I was young, a Ding Ling almost shattered all my dreams of pursuing beauty.
In the first year, Lin Xueer's ruthless abandonment made me have to re-examine my past experience, and I was still ashamed of myself, in my bones, I still felt that I was not worthy of Lin Xueer's good, so I had to let her go, and I didn't even say a word to save me.
Approaching the age of not being confused, I looked in the mirror every day, looking at my increasingly gray sideburns, thinking about Lan Gu's ruthless use of myself, my once desperate, beautiful feelings, and love were all like the beautiful dreams of childhood, getting farther and farther away, and gradually out of reach.
The world is very big, but Uncle and Ah Hong can meet and know each other in a small station.
Illustrates that the world is small.
Beijing is very small, but although Beijing is small, it is like looking for a needle in the sea to find a person.
Even though Lin Xue'er and I are currently in the capital, what is the distance between us and a city?
It shows that Beijing is still very big.
I lived a simple life of self-isolation for several years, and I had hardly any closer people except my family.
If Lin Xue'er wants to find me, it will take a lot of trouble to pass through my hometown.
I know her style of doing things, maybe she wants to artificially create a reunion romance, right?
I stared at the familiar numbers on the screen, holding my phone, and my mind hesitated.
......
"Could it be that Lin Xue'er is really looking for me?"
"She is very aware of the fact that she publishes information on a website that I often follow."
"She probably didn't want to borrow information to find me again, right?"
"What's the point of her looking for me, finding me?"
......
"Yes, I'm a poor man abandoned by her!"
After thinking about it for a long time, I put down the phone.
If it's time to give up, let it go!
Thinking about it, I was a little stunned.
Stand up and walk out of the house.
Stand under the eaves of the company and look into the distance.
On the street, the wind began to blow suddenly.
The wind swept up the torrential rain that fell from the black clouds and threw it to the ground.
The raindrops were abandoned on the dry dirt and instantly shattered to pieces, and along with the dust, they flowed away in ashes.
On the streets, black and yellow mudslides gather in the potholes of the road, setting up a series of gates for every passer-by who is in a hurry.
People jumped to avoid puddles, laughing and cursing, as if ignoring the inconveniences of God, and instead enjoying the pleasures of nature's gifts.
It's easier to get along with people and nature, right?
Even if it's a small disaster?
