Why it never ends

Chapter 876 Goodbye

Xu Ruyi and Ding Guisheng struggled with each other again. In the chaos, the porcelain ornaments Xu Ruyi had purchased again fell to the ground. The corners of her eyes and chin hit the corner of the table several times. She ignored the pain and just wanted to leave this place quickly. However, Ding Guisheng grabbed her shoulders and pushed her to the cabinet, listening to the sounds of vases and painting plates. , the ceramic animal fell to the ground, and Ding Guisheng felt that his depressed mood was slightly relieved.

Yet something is missing.

Ding Guisheng was so out of breath from the game that he had to take a break. He leaned on the wall and stared at Xu Ruyi who fell on the ground with bloodshot eyes. It took him a long time to realize that something was missing.

Why didn't Xu Ruyi stop crying?

Why didn't she cry and explain?

The floor of the entire living room was scattered with messy debris. Xu Ruyi slowly raised her upper body and tried to stand up again.

The sound of a key being turned came from the entrance, and Ding Jiali walked in smelling of alcohol.

"I'll go back..." When he reached the living room, he stopped in a daze, "...what are you doing again?"

Seeing someone coming back, Ding Guisheng realized that he could kill him, since Ding Jiali would stop him after all. He deliberately picked up a piece of bronze on the ground and tried to hit Xu Ruyi on the head with great force. Ding Jiali was shocked and rushed over to hug Ding Guisheng tightly.

"Dad!! What are you doing! This will kill someone if you hit him!"

"Death! It's best to die! I will die with your mother today!"

"What nonsense are you talking about..." Ding Jiali snatched the copperware from his father's hand, "If you have anything to say, please tell me——"

The wound on Xu Ruyi's forehead was numbing. She grabbed the chair and stood up slowly, whispering, "If you want to die, find a place to die by yourself. Don't drag me with you..."

"Xu Ruyi——"

"Mom! What are you talking about!" Ding Jiali collapsed a little, "You might as well do it and stop forcing him! Isn't it chaotic enough?"

Xu Ruyi stood there dizzy, and it took a while before she regained the strength to move. Not far away, she saw Ding Jiali awkwardly blocking Ding Guisheng.

The man who had spent half her life with her was childishly grabbing broken pieces of porcelain on the ground and throwing them at her. The face that once gave her countless fantasies about a new life was now twisted into a ball due to aging and anger, like a piece of red. Got a purple rag.

Xu Ruyi limped toward the bedroom, and returned to the living room wearing her coat a few minutes later.

"where are you going!?"

Ding Guisheng stood up from the sofa again, and Ding Jiali immediately hugged his thigh, "Dad, please calm down—"

Xu Ruyi didn't explain or even look back. She grabbed the small cloth bag where she kept her phone keys, walked through the living room at a slow pace, and opened the door to her home.

"Xu Ruyi!!"

"Dad, stop—"

"let me go!!"

"dad--"

The door slammed shut.

……

At nightfall, Ding Xueyang and Miao Miao returned home together. Facing the mess in front of them, Ding Xueyang frowned and quickly took Miao Miao back to the room.

There was no one to cook dinner, so Ding Jiali ordered takeout for her father, and then went upstairs to tell her sister what happened a few hours ago. Ding Xueyang immediately called Xu Ruyi, but her mother didn't answer.

This is not the first time Xu Ruyi has run away from home. Ding Xueyang roughly knows a few places Xu Ruyi will go. She called several of her mother's friends in turn and asked softly if her mother would spend the night at their place tonight, but the aunts all insisted that Xu Ruyi was not at their house. At first, Ding Xueyang thought it was a few aunts who were helping her mother hide it. It wasn't until a few aunts suggested that she call the police as soon as possible that she realized that her mother might not really be there.

Ding Xueyang had no choice but to call Ding Yuqing and asked Ding Yuqing to try to contact Xu Ruyi. A few minutes later, Ding Yuqing's call came back - Xu Ruyi had turned off her phone.

Ding Xueyang was heartbroken and immediately called the police. Her face turned red during the whole process, as if she was doing something very unbearable. She imagined the psychological activities of the police officer on the other end of the phone - this was the family who lost their child some time ago. , and now I have lost my mother again.

However, on such a cold winter night, Ding Xueyang felt anxious again when he thought of Xu Ruyi wandering alone somewhere in the city.

mom.

……

In the lobby of Songxueyuan Blood Hospital, Xu Ruyi was looking hesitantly at the service desk.

She got off the train an hour ago and took the bus and subway to get here. She threw away the business card that Si Lei left for her that day, but she still remembered that Si Lei had told her that her son was being treated at a blood hospital.

But how to find someone now?

She didn't remember anything else except that the police officer was called Si Lei.

Xu Ruyi clenched her hands tightly, as if standing barefoot in magma, feeling tormented every moment.

"Ms. Xu?"

Xu Ruyi turned around - Si Lei was walking towards her with the test report he had just taken. This small woman walked with a breeze.

After seeing the scars on Xu Ruyi's face clearly, Si Lei's smile disappeared, "Your face..."

Only then did Xu Ruyi remember that she still had injuries on her face. She smiled and raised her hand to block it, "I... accidentally hit the wall——"

"This can't be knocked out by hitting a wall. Have you forgotten what I do?" Si Lei looked at her, "But it doesn't matter. Thank you for thinking of coming to me at this time."

Xu Ruyi wanted to continue denying it, but when she heard Si Lei's words of comfort, she suddenly felt a sore nose.

She lowered her head and shook her head repeatedly. Her throat continued to vibrate, but she could not speak.

"Don't worry, no one can hurt you again," Si Lei said solemnly, "I promise."

……

That night, after Xiaoyu fell asleep, Si Lei and Xu Ruyi came to the hospital lobby again. The two were sitting together chatting. Xu Ruyi didn't say a word about what happened today, but kept asking Si Lei about the travel details mentioned in the last chat.

——What were you thinking that day? Why did you pick up a bag and get on the boat directly?

——Since it was a last-minute idea, you probably didn’t have much money with you at the time. How did you pay for the expenses along the way?

——Isn’t there anyone on board to verify the photo of the document and the real person? Have you not encountered any problems in this regard along the way...

Si Lei answered one by one, and Xu Ruyi sighed repeatedly.

"Oh, and also," Xu Ruyi remembered another thing, "When did you learn the language of the third district? I feel that not many people in the fourteenth district specialize in learning this. Everyone generally spends their time on the common language—— "

"I didn't learn it when I was in District 14," Si Lei replied. "At that time, I could speak Common Tongue very poorly. I could read and write fairly well, but I heard that I was completely blind."

Xu Ruyi slowly opened her eyes.

"You didn't understand the language when you got off the boat?" Xu Ruyi couldn't believe it. "Then how did you become a police officer there?"

"Just...learn now." Si Lei replied, "What else can I do?"
