Chapter 189: Sneaking away
But in the end, she still opened the door, and there was no Meng Jiayue in the corridor outside, which made Ruan Yu breathe a sigh of relief, and when she left the community and got into a taxi, she still didn't come back to her senses.
It took nearly forty minutes from the community to the high-speed rail station, and Ruan Yu still had a sense of unreality after getting off the train, and subconsciously tightened the strap of her backpack, as if this would allow her to find a sense of security.
Ruan Yu has never bought a ticket, although she has seen Meng Jiayue buy tickets online, but she doesn't have a mobile phone now, and she can't buy tickets online, so when she arrived at the high-speed rail station, she first followed the signs to the ticket hall to buy tickets.
Because it is not a holiday, there are not many people in the ticket hall, Ruan Yu picked a queue with fewer people, and after queuing for a while, he bought the nearest high-speed rail ticket, and the train was distributed at 9:45 in the morning, which was almost the time when Meng Jiayue's first class ended.
But Ruan Yu was still afraid, panicked, and couldn't help but want to do something to divert his attention, but he was in too much of a hurry, and he didn't even bring a book, so he could only walk around the waiting room to relieve the tension in his heart.
Fortunately, it was not long before the departure time, but after getting on the train, Ruan Yu had not completely let go of her heart, and she didn't really put down her heart until the high-speed train departed.
I didn't eat breakfast, and she wasn't hungry now, but the time on the high-speed train was a little difficult, and I didn't feel it when I had a mobile phone before, but now that I left the mobile phone, Ruan Yu really realized what it means to live like a year.
After nearly four hours of driving, after getting off the car, she had already set foot on the land of City A, Ruan Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and finally felt hungry, but without Meng Jiayue there, she didn't dare to eat out at all, although she couldn't help but want to drool when she looked at the various fast food restaurants in the high-speed rail station, but the fear in her heart still made Ruan Yu endure her hunger.
It was exactly 2:15 when she returned to the community, Ruan Yu was already sweating hot, today's weather was too hot, and she had already thought in her heart countless times about turning on the air conditioner when she came back from the high-speed rail station.
After arriving at the door of the house, Ruan Yu habitually took out her pocket, but she didn't touch the key, and immediately her heart was cold, and then she remembered that she didn't bring the key and was left in S City.
Ruan Yu was a little panicked, and hurriedly raised her hand and knocked on the door, but unsurprisingly no one opened the door, her parents were still at work at this point, and it was estimated that it would be five or six o'clock in the afternoon when they came back, or three or four hours.
Standing at the door for a while, Ruan Yu turned her eyes to Meng Jiayue's house next door, hesitating whether to knock on the door, but then she denied this plan, and she must be at work today, Monday.
But standing dry is not a way, Ruan Yu licked her dry lips, she hadn't drunk water since the morning, and she was already thirsty at this time.
After a while, Ruan Yu couldn't wait, so she went downstairs with her bag and planned to find a bubble tea shop to sit down first.
At two o'clock, the sun was shining outside, and when she went out from the community to find a bubble tea shop across the road, Ruan Yu was already so hot that her nose was sweating, and her mouth was about to burst into flames, so after entering the store, she ordered a large glass of lemonade first, and it had to be chilled.
The clerk knew Ruan Yu, because the milk tea shop had been open at the entrance of the community for many years, and when she was not in college, Ruan Yu often drank the milk tea in the store, but because there were fewer people who came back after going to college, she naturally came less, so when she suddenly saw her, the clerk smiled and asked, "Is it a school holiday?" ”
Ruan Yu hesitated for a moment, feeling that there was no vacation to put at this time, and no one believed him when he said it, so he shook his head and said honestly: "No, I came back from leave." ”
"Why did you take a leave of absence?" The clerk asked curiously.
"Yes." Ruan Yu thought for a moment before saying
"Come back, I haven't been back in a long time. ”
"Oh, homesick, huh!" The clerk didn't know what his brain had made up, so he rounded up the words, which just saved Ruan Yu from having to think of an excuse.
The lemonade was ready, and Ruan Yu couldn't wait to take a big sip after getting it, feeling that the heat on her body was dispelled a lot at once, but the ensuing hunger made her stomach growl.
It's a pity that there is nothing to eat in the store, Ruan Yu didn't eat in the morning and noon, and she was so hungry that she couldn't stand it, so she drank the lemonade in one go, and then ordered another vanilla milkshake to take away, and went out to find a store to eat.
Ruan Yu is quite familiar with the shops around the community, so she is not so afraid, but there is basically no one in this shop, but this is fine, at least you don't have to worry about standing like a transparent person and no one cares.
She ate rice noodles over the bridge, which was not too delicious, but Ruan Yu ate it cleanly, leaving only a little soup base.
After eating, Ruan Yu looked at the clock in the store at more than three o'clock, she was not hungry or thirsty, but this point was still a long time before her parents got off work.
You have to find a place to stay, Ruan Yu thought.
Walking a few steps outside, she remembered that she hadn't seen Ruan Yue for a long time, and the last time she posted on WeChat, she also said that she was pregnant.
It's just where Ruan Yue lives Ruan Yu doesn't remember much, although I've been there once, but there are so many buildings in the community, and there are so many floors in each building, and it's been so long, it's too difficult to remember.
In this way, Ruan Yue couldn't go there, Ruan Yu was completely confused now, she thought she would be better when she got home, but now she can only wander around the street, the more she thinks about it, the more unhappy she becomes, Ruan Yu shook her head to dispel distracting thoughts, silently thinking that she must not forget to bring the key next time she comes back.
After staying in the park until six o'clock in the afternoon, Ruan Yu returned to the community, but after knocking on the door, no one opened the door, and the joy in his heart was immediately disappointed.
She didn't want to go back to the park, so she squatted down at the door, breaking her fingers to play, but her legs were numb after squatting for a long time, Ruan Yu took out two pieces of toilet paper from her backpack, barely used them as cushions, sat down against the door and continued to wait.
After sitting in the car for so long in the morning, and being exposed to the sun outside in the afternoon, after sitting down, Ruan Yu felt that her eyelids were fighting, and she couldn't help but bury her head in her knees, close her eyes and pretend to sleep.
I don't know how long it was, the sound of the elevator door opening suddenly woke up Ruan Yu, she hurriedly stood up and walked a few steps towards the elevator entrance, wanting to see if her parents were back, but when she saw people clearly, Ruan Yu immediately retreated again, but there was nowhere to hide if she wanted to.
Aunt Chen came out with a bag of vegetables, and was surprised when she saw her, and hurriedly asked, "Xiaoyu, why are you back?" ”
"I ......" Ruan Yu didn't know how to answer, so she had to say vaguely: "I asked for leave to come back." ”
"What about Jiayue? Not with you? The reason why Aunt Chen asked this is because every time they come back together, they naturally feel strange that they didn't come back together after seeing too much.
"Nope." Ruan Yu shook her head, a little weak when asked by Aunt Chen.
But seeing her performance, Aunt Chen was even more suspicious, and couldn't help but guess: "Is there a quarrel?" ”
Ruan Yu didn't answer, Aunt Chen immediately confirmed what she thought in her heart, she saw that Ruan Yu was still carrying a bag, and asked casually, "Why are you still carrying a bag?" ”
"There's no one at home, and I forgot to bring my key." Ruan Yu said.
"Hey
Yo! Why doesn't anyone come to Auntie's house? I didn't have classes in the afternoon, so I didn't go out until five o'clock. Aunt Chen said as she stepped forward to grab Ruan Yu and take her home.
Ruan Yu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly regretted it a little in her heart.
After entering, the house is much cooler than the outside, the air conditioner should have only been turned off for a long time, and the doors and windows are still closed.
Aunt Chen went to the kitchen to put things first, Ruan Yu had already been hot all afternoon, so as soon as she entered, she went straight to the living room to turn on the air conditioner, and then stood in front of the air conditioner to blow a cool breeze.
"Xiaoyu, watermelon or grapes?" Aunt Chen shouted in the kitchen.
"Watermelon." Ruan Yu immediately replied, she hadn't eaten watermelon for a long time, and she was a little drooling when she thought about it.
After a while, Aunt Chen brought a plate of cut watermelons to the living room, Ruan Yu went to wash her hands first, she had not touched the water since the morning, and she felt that her hands were already dirty.
The watermelon that Aunt Chen bought was very delicious, sweet and silky, and there were very few seeds, so Ruan Yu ate two pieces in one go.
Seeing Aunt Chen's smile, she pushed the paper over a little so that Ruan Yu could wipe her hands, and asked, "Didn't you eat watermelon in S City?" How did you get hungry like this? ”
"Yes, but the fruit sold by the school is so expensive, and it's not very sweet." Ruan Yu didn't pay attention to her image when she ate it, and both sides of her cheeks were stained with watermelon juice, but Meng Jiayue was not there, and no one wiped her.
"That's right, then I'll eat more when I come back, are these enough? Not enough for the aunt to cut again. ”
"Enough is enough." Ruan Yu hurriedly said.
Aunt Chen didn't eat the cut watermelon, and there was half a watermelon on this plate, and Ruan Yu couldn't finish it no matter how much she could eat it.
The living room was quiet for a while, and Aunt Chen asked tentatively: "Xiaoyu, tell Auntie, is there a conflict with Jiayue?" ”
Ruan Yu paused, and the mouthful of watermelon in her mouth just felt a little tasteless, she hurriedly chewed a few times, swallowed the watermelon before speaking: "No, I just suddenly want to come back." ”
