Chapter 42: Ranin

"To convey love in words, if two people who are so romantic are really lovers, there should be other traces." Ji Si'an said calmly.

"We ignored that before. Do you want us to ask those classmates? Yuan Mu didn't know why Ji Si'an was so calm, and asked tentatively.

"Love is something that is more meaningful when you pursue it slowly. If it's too straightforward, the result is not beautiful. Ji Si'an said this without a clue and walked outside.

Yuan Mu hurriedly took pictures of these materials, grabbed his schoolbag, and caught up with Ji Si'an's footsteps.

"Where are we going now?" This is half of Ji Si'an's home field, so naturally she has the final say.

"Library." Ji Si'an didn't look back, for some reason her mood was a little agitated.

"What are you doing there?" Yuan Mu hasn't understood yet.

"Look for evidence." Ji Si'an said succinctly.

Yuan Mu quickly went through those articles in her mind, and after a little analysis, she understood what she meant.

At the same time, their hands reached for an English version of Pride and Prejudice. The slender hands shone against the backdrop of the yellowed paper, just like the two people back then.

"They all mention the book in their articles." Ji Si'an took the book.

"After so many years, there are too many people borrowing books, and some traces are afraid that they have also been erased." Yuan Mu said.

"No one will read such an old version." Ji Si'an is very optimistic.

Sure enough, they found their names on the library cards. Behind it is a beautiful line of small words: "Jun is used as a rock, concubine is treated as a reed, the reed is like silk, and the rock has no transfer." It is a famous phrase in "Peacock Flying Southeast".

When my mother wrote these words, she was very sure in her heart. But this ending is quite similar to Laneige where the peacock flies southeast. Twenty years later, when she opened her mother's affair again, she didn't know what kind of mood she felt, she just felt that all kinds of flavors were mixed together, like sweet and bitter.

When she knocked on Ms. Lin Yi's door, she was stunned for a moment, and then said in a trembling voice, "Yingying, can I hug you?" ”

Ji Si'an saw herself in her tearful eyes, and the Yingying in her mouth was her mother. She didn't answer, but took a step forward on her own. It was this small step that made the elegant Lin Yi take a big step to take her into his arms.

After a long time, when they sat on the sofa in the living room, Lin Yi intimately poured them a cup of coffee. "I'm sorry, I just lost my temper, you look too much like her."

looked at the beautiful woman in front of him with an elegant temperament and reddish eyes. Ji Si was slightly warm in peace of mind: "Aunt Lin Yi, thank you for entertaining us." We are here mainly to ask you something about my mother. ”

"Even the sound is exactly the same." Lin Yi sighed with emotion and took out some photos of her and Ji Si'an's mother Wang Yingqi.

The coquettish, charming, or wanton woman in the photo is her mother. Ji Si'an has never seen such a vivid mother. In comparison, the mother in the only photo she kept seemed dull and boring, without half of the aura.

"She was so beautiful at that time! Especially those eyes, when they look at you so obliquely, they can almost hook people's souls. ”

"I remember the first time I saw her, she just stood in the crowd and smiled softly, and everyone around her lost their color. From then on, you can only see her in your eyes. It's also thanks to her, I originally went to search for handsome guys, but I was attracted to her all my life, and the others didn't see ....... ”

"Later, we lived in the same dormitory and joined the student union, so we were very good friends. But she has a shortcoming...... It's just too stubborn. She never talked to me about her parents, let alone the slightest difficulty, and always looked confident. ”

"I used to think she was a chivalrous woman in the novel, and I thought she could solve ...... anything. I'm stupid....... It turns out that she is also sad...... It is also beyond the reach of ....... ”

This is the first time Ji Si'an has heard others talk about her mother in such a tone, and it is also the first time she has heard others talk about her mother's anecdotes.

"My mom she...... Is that good? Ji Si'an asked.

"Of course. How can you doubt this? Lin Yi said with some disgust.

But I never heard them talk about her, such a radiant woman, who always avoided her father like a femme fatale.

"Do you know Zhao Wenbin?" Yuan Mu asked.

Lin Yi sighed. "I know, how don't I know. He was a man of the year at Chenghuang University. School grass, the president of the society, the rich second generation...... All the good things you can think of happened to him. But those who are born with a golden spoon in their mouths will not be able to be rocks. ”

"Why are they separated?" Ji Si'an asked.

Lin Yi added some coffee to them. "College life is a dream, and the dream ...... abandon reality. Your mother was raised in an orphanage, and the director treated her with kindness, and she needs to go back to repay her kindness after graduation. Whereas...... Zhao Wenbin is a rich second generation, not only has a family business that he needs to inherit, but also shoulders the responsibility of marrying to make the company bigger. There's no way he's going back with her. ”

"Yingying, stubborn, self-reliant; Although Zhao Wenbin is smart, he is weak and lacks assertiveness. Their Ranin is destined to bear fruit. ”

"It's just that at that time, where did we know this. I always feel that what others say is someone else's, and what we encounter is the most true. ”

"Later, we all graduated, and Yingying persevered for Zhao Wenbin for two years in Chenghuang for ....... The dean's serious illness, coupled with the Zhao family's disacceptance and Zhao Wenbin's hesitation and compromise, finally smoothed out Yingying's last thoughts. That winter, she left Chenghuang and returned to the orphanage. ”

"We lost contact with her as soon as she left, and it was 10 years before we received her phone call again. At that time, we were all mothers....... ”

Lin Yi's eyes looked into the distance, as if recalling the last time they met.

"No one expected that that gathering would become a ...... farewell."

"Who organized the reunion?" Yuan Mu asked.

"It's Zhao Wenbin. He was the squad leader. Lin Yi said softly.

"My mother...... How have you been doing all these years? Somehow Ji Si'an asked this question. She knew that Aunt Lin might not know, but she couldn't help but ask. In the original family, the mother was a taboo, the grandmother didn't talk about it, the father didn't talk about it, and she didn't dare to ask.

Lin Yi looked at her and seemed to think of her daughter, and she touched Ji Si'an's head lovingly. "Yingying looks tired, she is thinner than she was ten years ago, and the light in her eyes has dimmed. But she loves both of you very much, and always has a smile on her face when she mentions you and your sister. ”

"After we met, I learned that not long after Yingying returned to her hometown, she married your father under the introduction of others."

Yingying didn't want to get married, but at that time, the orphanage was in urgent need ......of a sum of money, so she agreed. In her words, the groom is not Zhao Wenbin, and other people are not married. Besides, your father is honest and good-looking, so he was already a good candidate at that time. ”

"But she didn't love him." Ji Si'an was a little persistent, as if in this way she could understand her father's coldness towards her.

"Yes." Lin Yi is very straightforward, and she has seen a lot of things when she lives to her age.
