Chapter 126: The Cruel Balance
I don't know when I got home, or how I got home. My heart was empty, as if my heart had been removed, and I couldn't feel any pain anymore.
In the silence, the mobile phone rang suddenly, I mechanically took out the mobile phone, and pressed the answer button blankly, which was almost an instinctive action, I didn't even look at who called this call?
"Old Wei, I have good news for you, my son Xiangnan was born an hour ago!"
A voice sounded in my ears, I heard it, I heard it clearly, but a dazed brain did not give any instructions, still just put the earpiece of the mobile phone close to his ear without saying a word, the whole person is like a puppet that has lost control, empty and indifferent.
It was probably my indifferent reaction that made Xiang Dong's rising emotions unable to find a point of acceptance for a while, and after not receiving my response for a long time, he finally felt that something was wrong.
"Hello? Old Wei, are you listening? What happened to you? Talk? ”
Hearing Xiang Dong's series of questions, I suddenly reacted, it turned out that Xiang Dong just said that his son was born an hour ago, and I should congratulate him at this moment, yes, I should congratulate him.
I tried to brew my emotions as hard as I could, trying to make my tone sound as sympathetic as I could empathize with his joyful feelings, but I failed. After hesitating for a long time, he just said dryly: "Congratulations! "Three words.
Xiang Dong, who was thick on the outside and thin on the inside, finally heard some clues from my tone, and suddenly gathered away the emotions that were full of joy just now, and asked calmly: "Old Wei!" What happened? What happened to you? ”
Slowly put down the phone, and Xiang Dong's concerned question was still coming intermittently from the earpiece: "Old Wei, what is going on...... you talk" I didn't say a word and hung up the phone gently.
An hour ago, the son of a good friend of mine came into this world, and an hour ago I learned that the father of another good friend of mine had left this world, and the newborn people seemed to have not been able to perceive the warmth and coldness of this world at this time, and did the deceased still have a nostalgia for this world?
Is this the absolute balance that God is seeking? A new life must be born and a life must be lost? For a person to have joy and joy, must there be someone to bear the sorrow and despair? Why would God pursue this absolute balance in such a cruel way?
I walked to the balcony blankly, staring indifferently at the world, and my heart was like weeds. Where the neon shines, the erosive nightlife is still in full swing, and in the darkness that cannot be seen, I don't know how many lonely souls are looking for a place to be.
My Anne, my angel, please hate me, it is I who make you never go back to your heaven, please hate me, it is I who broke your wings with my own hands......
I looked up in the direction of Anne, and suddenly I felt a great sadness, I wanted to cry, so two lines of tears fell silently.
After standing for a long time, the cool wind in the middle of the night finally made me recover a little, I took out my mobile phone and dialed Li Liang's number.
"Old Wei, have you seen Anne? How is she? ”
Li Liang seemed to be waiting for my reply, and as soon as the phone was connected, he couldn't wait to ask me.
I took a deep breath and said to him, "If your affairs are taken care of, come back as soon as possible, Anne is now the only one left for you!" ”

"What do you mean by that? What the hell happened to Annie? What do you mean she's all left with me? Did Li Liang already feel something, and asked a series of questions in an eager tone, however, I couldn't even answer a single question.
After being silent for a long time, he finally only sighed and said, "Don't ask, come back quickly!" I'll tell you everything when you get back! ”
As soon as I finished speaking, Li Liang did not give up asking, but became more impatient: "Old Wei, what do you mean?" What are you going to tell me? What are you hiding from me? Tell me now! ”
I closed my eyes and fell silent again, and my heart, which had just calmed down, was also frizzy and irritable by Li Liang's series of questions.
"Please, don't ask, okay? I'm not in the mood to explain it to you right now, I'll tell you everything when you get back! If your uncle is okay, you better come back quickly, Anne may only need you ...... most now."
"What do you mean by that? Why just me? Aren't you his friend? Wei Jinsheng, you fucking tell me the truth, what the hell is going on......"
Li Liang seemed to be completely irritated by my attitude, and almost yelled at me.
I don't think he'd ever lost his temper with me so much, let alone scolded me by name.
But I wasn't in the mood to explain it to him, and I hung up before he could finish speaking.
But then he called again, and I hung up. He called again, and I hung up again. When he called for the third time, I finally couldn't take it anymore and slammed my phone the floor.
The clanging sound and scattered debris were particularly harsh in the silence of the night. After the sound, I felt that the world was finally completely quiet, and no one would ever ask me what was wrong. What the hell is going on? It seems that this way my soul will not be tortured.
When the day finally dawned, I opened my sour eyes, and found that I had fallen asleep on the couch at some point, and I looked up at the balcony, and my eyes ached from the bright sun.
It was already noon, and I was wondering why the scheduled alarm didn't go off, and I immediately remembered that my phone had already been smashed by me last night. Thinking of this, I thought of a series of things that happened last night, and I couldn't help but feel a cracking pain in my head.
I remembered the agreement with Mu Xichun, and decided to go to work, but when I walked into the bathroom and saw myself in the mirror, I gave up this idea again.
In the mirror, my eyes were puffy, the white eyeballs were covered with bloodshots, my face was dull, my hair was unkempt, and my fine and dense stubble finally arched out of my skin in a night's time. After washing his face indiscriminately, he came to the living room and was stunned again, not knowing what to do next.
I want to go to work, but my state will definitely startle Mu Xichun, I want to see Anne, but thinking of her hysterical sadness and despair last night, if she appears in front of her again at this moment, it will undoubtedly be another round of ravaging and destruction of her spirit, so I dispelled this thought, I think it is better to wait for her to calm down a little before seeing her, if it is possible, I don't want to lose her friend anyway, I mean if it is possible......
However, the more difficult it is, the slower time seems to be. I can't count how many times I've walked around the living room, and I can't remember how many times I've tried to sleep in bed, but I haven't gotten what I want.

At last the sun was gradually pulled to the west in my irritable mood, and I knew that another long night was coming.
When the remnant sun was like blood, Mu Xichun came to my residence as I expected.
I know that she must be suffering this day, she is my emotional lover, and when she knows that the other person has something but can't know what it is, anyone will be very anxious. But my phone was smashed by me again, and I couldn't be contacted in this situation, so you can imagine her mood.
So I decided that she would be the first to come to me after work. I was too selfish, knowing that she would worry about me, but I didn't take the initiative to explain it to her, which made her anxious all day.
Perhaps it was my too decadent appearance that frightened her, but the moment she saw me again, she was visibly surprised, and then her expression changed to infinite worry.
She didn't ask me what was going on, but asked me first, "Have you eaten?" ”
I shook my head, and the cold heart inside was activated by her words, and gradually became warmer.
"I guess you didn't eat, didn't you even eat lunch?"
I nodded again.
"I've packed you a quick meal, you can make do with it!"
There was a hint of reproach in her concerned tone, and as she spoke, she opened one of the bags she was carrying, took out two lunch boxes, and put them on the coffee table.
"No matter what happens, you have to eat well before you have the energy to deal with it, if you don't eat or drink like you, not only will you not be able to solve anything, but it will make you yourself a problem!"
"No matter what happens in the future, even if it's a big thing, you have to eat well and sleep well, can you promise me?" Mu Xichun helped me open the lunch box and looked at me solemnly.
I nodded my head for the third time, and hearing these words warmed my barren heart in the midst of a day of mental devastation.
Until now, she hadn't said a word about what had happened to me! Instead, she only cared about my situation at the moment, and it seemed that it didn't matter what happened in her heart at all, but whether I ate or not was the most important thing.
There was a trace of sourness in my heart, and I wanted to cry, but I finally held it back.
I sat on the sofa, picked up my chopsticks and started eating, the food was delicious, but I didn't taste anything, but I had mixed feelings.
Mu Xichun sat next to me, quietly watching me eat, and poured me a cup of hot water during the process.
I lowered my head and ate to myself, never said a word, and did not look up at her, I knew that every grain of rice and every vegetable in the lunch box was full of Mu Xichun's strong affection for me, in this world except Anne, no one seemed to know me better than her, however, Anne would never treat me like this from now on.
I never looked up at her during the meal, not because I didn't want to look at her, but because I was afraid that when I looked up, she would find that my red eyes were gradually full of tears.
