Chapter 374: Estrangement
As soon as Ye Ning and Ma Jiao got off the boat, they saw a beautiful girl appear in their sight, she had jet-black hair, her skin was as fair as jade, and her eyes revealed gentleness, kindness and concern.
That girl was Ma Jiao's girlfriend Huang Liuyin, although Ma Jiao did not tell Huang Liuyin about his itinerary. But Huang Liuyin still relied on her money ability to get through some relationships, explored the biggest military operation today, and found the path of the ship.
Huang Liuyin waited anxiously at the dock for Ma Jiao's return, staring expectantly in the direction of the boat, scanning the surroundings from time to time. Waiting from the afternoon to the present, finally, in the long time of waiting, she finally caught a glimpse of Ma Jiao's familiar figure.
She took an excited step, ran to Ma Jiao's side with the breeze, passed through the bustling crowd next to her, and went straight to Ma Jiao. Her face was filled with joy and concern, and her eyes flashed with concern and love.
When she ran to Ma Jiao's side, she couldn't help but open her arms and hugged him tightly in her arms, this hug was so sincere and warm, as if it could convey all her emotions and thoughts. The two hugged each other tightly, and sweet smiles bloomed on their faces.
Huang Liuyin did not hide her concern and love for Ma Jiao, she hugged him tightly, as if she wanted to turn the thoughts and concerns in this separated time and space into the power of this embrace, and said with a slight cry: "Why don't you leave and tell me, aren't you afraid that you won't see me one day?" ”
At this moment, they seem to be in a separate world, forgetting the crowd and hustle and bustle around them, and they integrate each other's existence into each other's arms.
Ma Jiao hugged Huang Liuyin, kept her in his arms, and looked down at her slightly. The expression and eyes can be described as mixed, missing, attachment, and love, but it is also mixed with reluctance, unwillingness, and more sadness and helplessness.
It can be clearly seen that Ma Jiao wants to say a lot of things, but when he talks casually, he can only talk and can't say a word. In the end, a thousand words can only be combined into one sentence: "It's okay, am I not here?" ”
Ye Ning stood silently aside, his heart full of indescribable sourness. He watched Huang Liuyin talk to Ma Jiao affectionately, as if their world was completely intoxicated by this moment.
Ye Ning silently looked at the scene where Ma Jiao and Huang Liuyin embraced. An indescribable sadness swelled up on the docks. He felt as if he had been forgotten outside of this warm moment, standing alone in the silent background.
He had long been accustomed to living alone, but at the moment he felt that his loneliness was unusually deep. Every time he sees Ma Jiao's happiness, he will sigh why he can't have the same happiness. He had a spring dream, and he also had many intimate actions with Yang Ling in the dream, and he also longed for this kind of thing to happen, but the reality left him aside.
The picture in front of him seemed to mock his single status, and every detail pierced his heart like a knife. He struggled to hold back his emotions, unable to control the sourness and helplessness that welled up in his heart.
Ye Ning began to doubt all aspects of himself, and self-doubt and self-blame were intertwined. Maybe he wasn't good enough, maybe he couldn't find someone who really suited him, or maybe he wasn't born to deserve peach blossom luck, these thoughts lingered in his mind and couldn't be dissipated.
He tried to hide his sadness with a reluctant smile, but beneath the seemingly calm surface, a heart wrapped in emotion struggled painfully. He hoped to be able to release these negative emotions, but he could only silently swallow his heartache into his stomach.
In order to divert his attention, Ye Ning had to take out his mobile phone, where there was the contact information that Yan Hanjun had left for him. Ye Ning sent a message to Yan Hanjun: "I came back with the Burning Flower, Burning Sun Grass, Blazing Stone, Flame Long Vine, and Flame Dew, and then I went to find you?" ”
"No need, you go to Quancheng first and wait for me, I have already approved it, and I will go back soon." Yan Hanjun replied to the message in seconds at this moment. For him, who is usually busy and has no leisure time, this is just waking up after staying up for two days.
"Springs? Why go there? Ye Ning continued to send a message and asked.
"Each city has its own focus, and the medical conditions are not bad throughout the process. But most importantly, there are many herbs in Springs. Yan Hanjun began his usual nonsense explanation again.
"Oh, I see." Ye Ning replied to the message first, and after a while, Ye Ning continued to send a message and asked, "However, it's so easy for you to approve going to Quancheng?" The rest of the institute will agree with you to go? ”
"I don't know either, it seems that every time I speak, they won't refuse. Maybe it's like me. Yan Hanjun typed very quickly, and this time it was almost a second.
Although this answer was something he had thought of a long time ago, Yan Hanjun never thought that Ye Ning would ask this kind of question again. In his opinion, Yan Hanjun has been controlled by his thinking, and he should not ask Yan Hanjun about his more abnormal behavior.
However, looking at the news sent by Ye Ning, Yan Hanjun reacted quickly, Ye Ning probably found the herb to restrain his mind control ability when he was eating herbs on the Western Continent, after all, this herb Yan Hanjun had also seen in the book.
Yan Hanjun reacted instantly, Ye Ning had already broken away from the control of his mind and figured out some of the unreasonableness, maybe he had figured out the logic on the returning ship and found that Yan Hanjun had some problems.
Yan Hanjun's thinking is fast, he is known as a prodigy. At this moment, he understood that he wanted to pretend to be a person in front of Ye Ning who was slightly stronger than ordinary people, had a tendency to abnormal abilities, and did not know that he was an abnormal person, until he used mind control for Ye Ning again.
This is not difficult for Yan Hanjun. Yan Hanjun has done this many times. So, Yan Hanjun thought clearly in his mind, got up and set off, and shouted: "Bai Tong, I'll go out for more than ten days, you stay here to help!" ”
"Oh, okay!" Bai Tong responded quickly and obediently.
"To Springs?" Ye Ning silently recited his place in his heart, and was about to say goodbye to Ma Jiao and Huang Liuyin, so he set out on the road to Quancheng by car. During these days, Ye Ning has also become accustomed to it, and the four seas are his home. The world is big, where you go, where you live. Anyway, the funds that Yan Hanjun left in his mobile phone are enough for him to live a normal life in a short period of time.
But who knows, Ma Jiao had already noticed Ye Ning, who was blowing the wind on the side, lonely. Ma Jiao patted Huang Liuyin's back, broke free from Huang Liuyin's embrace, turned his head to look at Ye Ning, and asked slowly, "Ye Ning, I'm going to follow her to Quancheng later?" What are you going to do? ”
It's very interesting here, Ma Jiao has been training with Wu Yu. But at this time, he said that he was going to Quancheng, but he obviously didn't notify Wu Yu, and second, he didn't plan to notify Wu Yu afterwards, and he looked like he was going to elope with his girlfriend.
But Ma Jiao's eyes were a little blurry when he looked at Ye Ning, and he had a slightly complicated emotion, but the most singular emotion was reluctance and helplessness, and there was a feeling of seeing his relatives before the dying person left.
Ye Ning was panicked by Ma Jiao's eyes, and he was even more panicked. However, he still replied slowly: "I'm also going to Quancheng, so let's stop by." ”
"Well, okay, drop by." Ma Jiao's eyes and expression can be seen to the naked eye at this moment, from sadness and helplessness to a slight excitement, but the amplitude is not large.
Huang Liuyin was a little disgusted, but fortunately, it was only a little bit of a way. Ye Ning's existence will not affect his intimacy with Ma Jiao, and the impact will only affect for a short time.
Ma Jiao looked at Ye Ning, waved his hand, and motioned to set off together. His lips only moved slightly, and he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it.
Under the greeting of Ma Jiao, several of them embarked on the journey together, took a taxi and quickly came to the high-speed rail station, bought a ticket and quickly set off for the high-speed rail.
Along the way, there were no words of many. Because Huang Liuyin looked at Ye Ning and was embarrassed to say anything to Ma Jiao, Ma Jiao looked at Ye Ning, and only moved his mouth, as if he swallowed the words as soon as he reached his mouth.
What Ye Ning wanted to say, he wanted to ask Ma Jiaohai about the octopus, but Huang Liuyin was on the side, and Ye Ning's intuition told him that he couldn't ask.
Huang Liuyin occasionally has a little intimacy with Ma Jiao, and she is not very idle. But Ye Ning was so bored that he couldn't do anything, so he could only silently think about some things about Ma Jiao.
"That's right, Ma Jiao. Don't you have to say a word to Commander Wu Yu when you leave? Ye Ning suddenly remembered something, after all, Ma Jiao was taken away by Wu Yu and personally selected and cultivated. If something goes wrong, it's a big problem. No matter what you say, at least you should inform Wu Yu.
Ma Jiao said, "I'll take a month's vacation to spend time with my girlfriend." After all, the monsters are besieging Night City, and I can't help if I go. And Commander Wu Yu must go. ”
After hearing this, Ye Ning nodded. Ma Jiao didn't say anything more. But Ma Jiao's eyes had betrayed him, and Ye Ning could see that Ma Jiao was lying. Ye Ning had learned from Yan Hanjun the basic way to see through his expressions, at least for now, Ma Jiao clearly revealed that he was lying.
Why lie about such a big thing? Ye Ning really didn't understand Ma Jiao's train of thought. But because there was a small probability that the mind control ability might be held by Ma Jiao, Ye Ning didn't dare to ask more, which attracted Ma Jiao's doubts.
Ben is a person all the way, Ben is a good brother. In the same car, under face-to-face communication, there is no one willing to tell the truth. The estrangement permeated this workshop, and such a good friend could only look at each other and dare not say a word to respond.
Under this silent atmosphere, the high-speed train slowly drove to Quancheng.
