Li Yue'er

Chen Ran has been away from me for 5 days, in these 5 days, I have insomnia every night, I finally fell asleep and was awakened by nightmares, in my dreams I always saw Sister Xiaojuan's bloodied face and Chen Ran's back away from me, no matter how I cried, he seemed to be deaf, and he didn't even look back, and then I woke up in such exhaustion like a knife, and opened my eyes until dawn in one after another newly dyed tears.

During these 5 days, TV, Internet, radio, newspapers, ...... All the media, without exception, are rolling to report first-hand from the front, the rapid rise in the number of casualties, the shocking collapse of buildings, and the danger of dammed lakes...... Like a boulder pressing on the hearts of the Chinese people, it always affects people's sensitive and fragile nerves.

During this period, because of the frequent aftershocks, tents were set up in the streets and alleys of the square park in C City, where there were no tall buildings, and the fear of death in the heart of the strong earthquake made people move out of the high-rise buildings they lived in and camped on the vast land, in exchange for physical stability and inner peace. I also picked up my father from the train station and slept with him on the banks of the Xiu River. When disaster strikes, the company of family is more important than everything, not to mention that my father is not in good health and needs to be taken care of. The rows of office buildings on both sides of the street are no longer the brightly lit and prosperous scene of the past, and the buildings are empty when it is time to get off work. Kairan is no exception, the elevator is out of service, all the departments above the fifth floor have moved to the office below the fifth floor, there is a sound everyone is like a frightened bird rushing out of the door, the psychological shadow of the earthquake is quietly enveloping everyone, overnight the vast building is no longer a refuge to protect all beings, but like a hideous monster, making people tremble.

With each passing day, the uneasiness and fear in my heart increased, the phone lying in hand was quiet as never before, the name I had been thinking about day and night seemed to have disappeared from the world, and there was no trace of it, only the cold voice on the radio waves kept repeating mechanically, "The phone you dialed is temporarily unreachable" "The phone you are dialing is temporarily unreachable" ...... I was going crazy to hear it, and I had no intention of working in a daze, hoping that the familiar handwriting would jump and flicker quickly to save me from my endangered state.

Are county communications still disrupted? Chen Ran has not heard from him this time, it has been 5 days, it has been 5 days, where is he now? Did you find Sister Xiaojuan? Is he having a hard time? Why isn't there even a phone call or even a text message? Does he know my worries and concerns? Does he know that I know that I know that he is going to danger but is powerless to stop the helplessness and fear that cannot be stopped? He said that he would come back safely, but we all know that this is just a word of comfort to me, in the current disaster, the life and death of his relatives are uncertain, everything he has done is incumbent, even he can't stop himself, let alone me, an outsider......

Outsiders, yes, peel off the warm coat of the alliance between me and him, am I just an outsider? Even if he and Sister Xiaojuan are about to separate, she is still his wife and his family until the cold law recognizes it, and when either of them encounters a change, the other party has an unshirkable responsibility to stand up and rush forward; Of course, I believe that if I encounter danger, Chen Ran will definitely do whatever it takes for me, just like being trapped in the elevator before, but in the face of life and death, he will also do his best for Sister Xiaojuan, whether it is for me or Sister Xiaojuan, there is a heavy morality and commitment in his love, I believe that Chen Ran loves me more than Sister Xiaojuan now, but even the remaining part of morality and responsibility is enough for him to be in danger when the disaster strikes, and he will not give up another life he needs to bear because he loves me deeply, because, he is Chen Ran.

It is precisely because of this that his resolute departure filled me with apocalyptic anxiety and fear about the dangers of this trip. It has been said that the fear of waiting for the end is more frightening than the end itself. Yes, that's right, if the earthquake just came suddenly without warning, people would be able to laugh at least for a second before it happened, and this kind of torment of knowing that there are tigers in the mountains is the most disturbing and panicked.

Therefore, after experiencing the anxiety and doubts of tossing and turning, after the ups and downs of the emotional torture of close love, after Chen Ran left me for 120 hours, although I knew that the county communication was still interrupted, I still couldn't help dialing Chen Ran's phone, and once again looked forward to the miracle, and this time, the miracle really appeared......

After a short pause, there was a clear and loud connecting sound, beep ~, beep ~, the smooth and uniform current sound seemed to be heavenly, quietly caressing the softest place in my heart, my breath instantly lifted, but my heart suddenly relaxed, as if it had never been solid and stable poured down from head to toe to wrap my body. Outside the window

At this moment, I am standing in the corridor of the company, looking at this obscure and uncertain world, but my heart is as clear as a mirror, as if I know that the cascading dark clouds must be a dazzling golden sun, which will shine brightly in time, and all I have to do is wait.

As long as he's safe, my wait is meaningful.

As long as he is safe, my watch will not be despairing.

However, this wait is inevitably too long, the sound of the beep is tireless, from the initial brightness gradually becomes muddy, like a protracted marathon, the beginning of the dragon and tiger, after a long time, it loses its flying spirit, can only rely on endurance and perseverance to survive the long road ahead.

My heart gradually cooled, and the initial ecstasy and excitement were like icebergs melting, silent little by little, but the inside had already accumulated from quantitative changes to qualitative changes. Why doesn't Chen Ran answer the phone? Are you busy? Didn't hear? Don't have your phone with you? …… But either way, there is no explanation why he did not inform me of his safety as soon as the communication was restored, what was the reason, what happened to make him, Chen Ran, who had promised me to promise me, uncharacteristically avoid talking to me?

I began to hesitate, began to hesitate, began to hesitate, and my heart was like duckweed floating in the water, up and down, far and near, aimlessly following the waves. That apocalyptic panic has returned, but it is more suffocating and desperate than the fear of the unknown.

I almost hung up.

A gentle "hey", accompanied by the abrupt sound of electricity, came from the other end of the phone, as if the hand that had fallen off a cliff reached out to me at the moment, firmly grasped my body, and pulled me back to the world.

My heart shook suddenly, and I suddenly raised my head, unconsciously clenched my phone, but cautiously asked tentatively, "Chen Ran?" Is that you? ”

There was silence for a few seconds on the other end of the phone, and then there was the familiar voice, calm but with endless exhaustion and gloom, whispering in my ear, "Yue'er, it's me, I'm safe, don't worry", and my tears instantly welled up.

Finally confirmed his well-being, and finally, despite the dangers we faced, God still favored us in the nine deaths. It's just that there doesn't seem to be the slightest joy in his voice, let alone the excitement and excitement of being safe and sound, and Chen Ran, who used to talk to me on the phone, is there something wrong with Sister Xiaojuan?

"What about Sister Xiaojuan? How is she? You okay? I asked impatiently.

The oppressive silence spread between us, even after a long distance, I could still feel the heaviness like Mount Tai crushing him and me in an instant, my heart shrank, my palms were full of sticky sweat, and I asked again, but my voice was much lower, "Chen Ran, Sister Xiaojuan, are you okay?" ”

finally heard a long sigh on the other end of the phone, as if he was weighing the words repeatedly, "It's okay, Yue'er, Xiaojuan, she's fine." ”

"Really? That's great! Thankfully! I breathed a sigh of relief, Fang Jue's fingers holding the phone were already bruised and cold, and I couldn't help but rub my other hand a few times, my excitement was overflowing, "Chen Ran, where are you now, and when can you come back?" ”

It was the same silence again, Chen Ran wanted to speak on the other end of the phone. I frowned slightly, why is this person so twisted today, not at all like him on weekdays, usually he is always neat and neat, rarely when he is so slurred, he said slightly, "Why don't you always speak, don't you want me?" Hearing my voice is not excited at all" I paused, there was annoyance in my voice, "Why don't you call me sooner when the signal is on, do you know how worried I am about you, I really can't sleep these days, I ......"

"Yue'er" Chen Ran intercepted my words, "I'm sorry for worrying you." His voice was as gray as the sky outside the window, and he paused and said, "Yue'er, I love you", and there was no more follow-up.

At this moment, I didn't realize it at all, I was only immersed in the joy of his safe return and the tenderness between my lips and teeth, smiling slightly, a faint crimson color appeared on my face, and the complaints of Shicai had already been thrown out of the clouds, only endless tenderness rippled in my heart, "Chen Ran, when can you come back" paused, "I miss you so much"

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

"Yue'er, I ......"

"Huh?"

"Oh, it's okay, I miss you too, I miss you more than you think I do"

"Fool, at this time you are still saying these earthy love words"

"No, I just want to hear more from you"

"Hey, I ask you, where are you now, and when can you come back to see me?"

"Oh...... We, we are now in City J, very close to City C, much safer than the county, don't worry...... The time to go back is still uncertain, Xiaojuan has some injuries, and she has to be observed in the hospital for a period of time."

"Huh? Where is Sister Xiaojuan's injury? Is it serious? ”

"Oh, it's okay, it's not serious, there's no worry about your life, you can rest assured."

"That's good, that's good, I hope she can get better soon, alas, Chen Ran, I really want to see you soon......"

"I ...... Well, I'll go back as soon as I'm done with this side...... Okay, the doctor is coming over for rounds, I have to hang up first."

"Oh, okay, Chen Ran, then you pay attention to safety, you must come back safely, you know? That, goodbye"

"Yue'er......!"

"Huh?"

"Oh, nothing, I want to say...... You have to take good care of yourself......"

"Fool, do you still need to say this, I'm not a child, I know, you hurry up, come back early when you're done"

"Yue'er ......"

"Okay, I don't have to tell my mother-in-law anymore, I know, wait for you to come back"

I said and hung up.

……

The rain outside the window has been accumulated for a long time, and finally can no longer hold back and pour down, I look at the sky full of silver threads, as if covering the sky and the light silk yarn, the mist is endless, like me and Chen Ran miss each other, long and long, fascinating, my face has a satisfied smile, body and mind seem to be alive again, the complexion gradually becomes brighter, the five-day wait finally has a result, and it is a good result, let me can't help but thank God for his mercy, I even began to imagine when I married Chen RanThat day will not be as hazy as today, it will be the wind and the sun, the sky is clear, the flowers are reflected in the phoenix.

I was a little intoxicated......

Until Wang Hao stopped me, "Yue'er, Mr. Guo asked you to go to the government with him at three o'clock in the afternoon for a meeting!" ”

I turned my head and couldn't help but wonder a little, in the past, Mr. Guo was accompanied by Wang Hao on his trips, why did he call me this time? Thinking of the last time he broke the relationship between me and Chen Ran, I couldn't help but feel a little hesitant and uneasy in my heart.

But it was quickly resolved, after all, Chen Ran and I can walk together openly and honestly, we have experienced so many ups and downs, and we have long passed the moment when we care about other people's eyes. Thinking of this, I smiled slightly, and said to Wang Hao with relief, "Okay"

When I followed Mr. Guo on time in the afternoon, I found that there was no trace of the driver, Mr. Guo nodded, and signaled to me who was surprised, "Get in the car, I gave the driver a holiday, and I will drive today." ”

I couldn't help but be stunned, and suddenly remembered that Mr. Guo had made an exception for me to accompany him this time, and now he had the driver away, although I didn't know the reason, but I intuitively felt that he might have something to say to me alone.

Thinking of this, I frowned slightly, couldn't help but sit upright, silently fasten my seat belt, and just wait for his next step.

Sure enough, as soon as the car drove away from the company, Mr. Guo's voice came as scheduled, "Xiao Li, do you know that Chen Ran went to the county to find his wife?" ”

Guo is always a straightforward and resolute person, although he is stating a fact, it still sounds slightly harsh at the moment, I moved my body uneasily, since he knows everything, there is no need to hide it from him, so I nodded, "Well, I know." ”

"Then do you know that Chen Ran and his wife have returned to City C, and his wife lost her legs in the earthquake and has become disabled?"

There was a flash of light before my eyes, like a thunderbolt, my head buzzed, and I turned my head to look at him blankly, as if I didn't know him, and couldn't say a word.
