Chapter Ninety-Seven: Divorce
Ouyang Lie took Lin Shuang to the hospital to treat the wound, and after returning to Lin Shuang's house, his attitude towards Lin Shuang was as cold as ice. Although he didn't accuse Lin Shuang again, let alone punish Lin Shuang as before, Lin Shuang felt that the anger in Ouyang Lie's heart was stronger than ever.
After Ouyang Lie accompanied Lin Shuang's parents to dinner, he politely said goodbye to the two old men. The two old men looked at Ouyang Lie in surprise, not understanding why he was in such a hurry to leave. Ouyang Lie faced the old man's doubts and said with a smile that there were some things in his company waiting for him to go back to deal with, so he could only rush back as soon as possible.
Lin Shuang listened to Ouyang Lie's words on the side, and thought angrily in his heart, before coming, Ouyang Lie told Lin Shuang that he would wait until the end of the New Year to return to Yangcheng, but now he had to go back early. Lin Shuang also wants to spend more time with her parents, because she rarely has time to spend with her parents.
Just when Lin Shuang was depressed, she heard Ouyang Lie say to her parents: Just let Lin Shuang stay for a few more days, and when he is busy with the company's affairs, he will come to pick up Lin Shuang back to Yang City. Lin Shuang's heart suddenly cooled, it turned out that Ouyang Lie didn't plan to take him back to Yang City with him. Thinking of this, Lin Shuang's previous indignant mood immediately disappeared without a trace, but a trace of sadness hit his heart.
Lin Shuang's parents also seemed to sense that something was wrong. So he asked Ouyang Lie with a smile, aren't you and Lin Shuang planning to get married next year? Don't you need to let Lin Shuang go back to Yang City together to prepare in advance? Ouyang Lie smiled and said to Lin Shuang's parents, there is no need for Lin Shuang to follow these things, let Lin Shuang recuperate. When the two old men heard that the future uncle felt so sorry for Lin Shuang, they immediately smiled happily.
Lin Shuang stayed by the side, listening to the polite and enthusiastic conversation between Ouyang Lie and his parents, his heart was like a mess and he was flustered. Ouyang Lie's reaction was too abnormal and did not conform to his usual character at all. I carried him on his back today to pay tribute to Luobei, but I couldn't bear the oppression of grief in my heart, so I suddenly cut my wrists. If this matter had been placed in the past, it would definitely be something that Ouyang Lie couldn't bear, and he would definitely be furious with Lin Shuang. But today, he did not show the slightest anger, but was unusually calm.
After Ouyang Lie greeted Lin Shuang's parents, he picked up the briefcase and turned around and walked out the door. Lin Shuang's parents urged Lin Shuang to go out to deliver it, but Lin Shuang sat there in a daze, not moving. The two old men sighed and chased out of the door one after another to see Ouyang Lie off.
A few minutes later, Lin Shuang's parents returned to the house with gloomy faces. They began to count the frost of the forest one by one. Warning Lin Shuang not to be dissatisfied, let alone toss around. said that a man like Ouyang Lie is so good, I don't know how many girls are worried about it. Tell Lin Shuang to take it easy, don't think you're anything great, don't wait until you miss Ouyang Lie and then regret it.
Lin Shuang was silent in the face of her parents' chattering words, without a word of defense or half an explanation. She silently returned to her room, locked the door, and lay lonely on the bed in a daze. Did what you did today go too far? Shouldn't I go to pay tribute to Luobei again? But if you want her to completely erase her memory of Luobei, unless she is completely amnesiac or dead. Otherwise, as long as she lives in the world for one day, she will definitely not forget Luobei. Since she returned to her hometown, how could she not go to see Luobei?
This year has been very depressing and indifferent. At least, that's the case for Lin Shuang. Ouyang Lie never made a phone call except for calling Lin Shuang's parents on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve to greet the New Year. He seems to have become less concerned about Lin Shuang, and he no longer cares about what Lin Shuang will do? What would Lin Shuang think in her heart? Lin Shuang felt that he was already dispensable to Ouyang Lie, and he was no longer so important.
Until the first month, Lin Shuang still didn't wait for Ouyang Lie's call. Lin Shuang's heart was completely cold, it seemed that Ouyang Lie had given up on himself. Otherwise, with Ouyang Lie's character, he would never have given Lin Shuang so much free time and space. The reason why he became so abnormal was because he no longer had Lin Shuang in his heart, so he didn't care too much about Lin Shuang.
After the second day of February, there was still no news from Ouyang Lie. It seems that before he left, he said that when he was busy with the company's affairs, he would come over to pick up Lin Shuang and Yangcheng, which was all kind words to Lin Shuang's parents. Because, he didn't want the two old men to worry. Lin Shuang figured out all this, but her heart was no longer anxious and contradictory. She decided to go back to Yangcheng, return the house she had rented before, and then leave Yangcheng forever.
There was one more thing that made Lin Shuang hesitate. That is the villa that Lin Shuang and Luo Bei bought in Liuzhen before, should they continue to keep it, or should they entrust an intermediary to sell it? If he kept that villa, I am afraid that Lin Shuang would rarely live there in the future. If the villa was sold, Lin Shuang felt that it was difficult to give up. In that villa, there are breathes and traces of her and Luobei once staying together. There are memories of Nakubuk, and you can feel the taste of Nakubuku everywhere.
With many contradictions and entanglements in her heart, Lin Shuang left her parents and returned to Yangcheng. She changed her mobile phone number and did not inform Ouyang Lie about her whereabouts. Since the other party doesn't care so much about himself, why should he be amorous? Instead of taking humiliation on yourself, it is better to turn around and walk away. At the very least, such a resolute and decisive turn can protect self-esteem and put on a gorgeous cloak for dignity.
Lin Shuang got off the train at Yangcheng Railway Station, took a taxi and went straight to the house she rented before. The building was still so mottled. The corridor is still full of debris, and the corridor is dark without any light. The smell of damp and moldy is the same as before, but the source of rot and mildew cannot be found. Lin Shuang felt like she was back in the past, isolated and unstable, trying to survive in the cracks of the city.
Lin Shuang opened the door, sniffed the long-vacant desolation in the house, looked at the clutter in the house and the dust floating in the sun, but felt a trace of comfort in her heart. This is the place where she lived, and it is also the place where Luobei often dreams of her. It is full of Lin Shuang's embarrassment and hesitation when he first came to the city. It's also full of barren self-amusement and helpless spontaneity. No matter what, Lin Shuang likes the breath of this place and is greedy for the memories here.
Lin Shuang put down the backpack in her hand, took off her coat, and began to clean inside and out. Even if it's just for one night, it's to be cleaned and spotlessly cleaned. Lin Shuang didn't know if she had a habit of cleanliness, or if she was too perfectionist, or if she had a tendency towards obsessive-compulsive disorder. She has always had strict requirements for hygiene, even if there is only a slight dust and clutter in the house, Lin Shuang must clean up the hygiene in the house thoroughly. Otherwise, she would not be able to sleep peacefully or eat.
Lin Shuang decided to stay here overnight and contact the landlord early tomorrow morning to check out.
