Chapter 26 You Are Not Really Happy (1)
Until August, Ling Yiyao had been hiding in Nanjing, did not return home for half a year, and never revealed the specific address of the nest.Her family didn't care at first, but after a while, she gradually realized that she was being deliberately avoided, so she urged her daughter to go home even harder.

"My mother said that if I don't go home, she will report to the police that I am missing." Ling Yiyao told me on the phone.

"Did she scare you?"

"Don't believe me, she can really do it, but I frightened her the other way around, saying that if the police figure out the situation, they will report her to a false police report. When it is written in the file, I will not be able to find a job or get married."

"Then she believes it or not?"

"Half and half."

In order to relieve her pressure, I withdraw 2000 yuan in advance for living expenses every month and call Ling Yiyao for all of it. Anyway, I have nothing to spend here.I hope she buys more things to reward herself and make up for my guilt, but when I ask her what she spends her money on, she can't tell a reason.

"Inflation is too strong, flowers will disappear..." She said aggrievedly, "Do you feel distressed?"

"It hurts."

She asked slyly, "Do you love me or money?"

"I love your money." I laughed.

This is a waterway against the current and the wind. There are neither groups of trackers nor pleasing scenery on the shore. The only driving force is the wooden oars in our hands.But as long as two people are willing to help each other, there will still be laughter along the way, and no matter how bitter the sweat is, they will still enjoy it. I am afraid that this bitterness does not come from sweat, but from tears.

But the day finally came.

In this uninhabited Gobi Desert, surfing the Internet is a luxury. I asked Ling Yiyao to help me sort out the preparation materials for the first-level construction engineer and send them to my mailbox in a compressed file format.Ling Yiyao happened to be off on weekends, so she agreed immediately. However, I waited until I didn't hear from her. She didn't answer the phone first, and then turned off the phone.

I was worried about the test preparation materials at first, then I was worried about her safety, and finally I was more and more worried. I couldn't help but think of Xiao Mengna's phone call.I changed my mind and dismissed this idea, it looked extremely ridiculous when it was applied to Ling Yiyao, and I even asked myself if I had lost my mind, but in the middle of the night, all this stopped abruptly.

I called the landlord and asked how Ling Yiyao was doing. The landlord hesitated for a long time, but finally told the truth.The landlord saw a car parked at the gate of the yard at noon, Ling Yiyao got in the car and left, never came back, and the lights in the room were never turned on.

"What car?" I asked.

"It's a beautiful car, white," the landlord thought for a while, and then said, "It starts with Su F, where is it, Suzhou?"

I corrected: "Nantong."

"Oh, yes, I heard them speaking their native dialect."

Luo Tingyu is here.

More than half a month ago, I thought I understood Xiaomeng's pain, but today I realized that it is not the person involved who will never be able to truly empathize.After a heavy and busy day, I still couldn’t sleep at all. My heart seemed to be invaded by countless insects and ants. I was so uncomfortable that I hated every sleeping position. I could only walk out of the work shed and wander back and forth under the moonlit night, smoking a whole pack of cigarettes.

Probably because I wanted to maintain the final dignity like a prisoner, or to avoid the final verdict, I didn't call again, I was just waiting, and the seconds were like years.

At six o'clock in the morning, the Gobi Desert was still shrouded in darkness, and I was lying alone in Lao Liu's car wrapped in a coat, half asleep and half awake.Ling Yiyao finally called. I waited for more than ten seconds before answering. Both sides remained silent. I first asked, "Did you send those documents?"

She froze for a moment and said, "No, I'll send it later."

"Were you busy yesterday?"

"Yeah." There was a hint of panic in her voice.

I finally managed to hold back, and told her lie without any concealment, and said calmly, "Did you spend the night outside yesterday?"

Ling Yiyao was not good at lying, and even if she lied, she could only last one round. She was silent for a long time, and finally said: "Yes."

"Can't you make it clear once?"

She was also angry, and asked, "Are you interrogating me?"

"How dare I interrogate you?" I smiled wryly, but resentment surged in my chest, "We are not married, we are just dating, you have 100% freedom, you can go out with whoever you want Going out, I have no right to interfere. It's just that I ask you one thing, can you respect the relationship between the two of us, and don't play something first? Get rid of the relationship with me first, and then go out for the night with others, okay? "

"Who did I spend the night with?" Her voice also rose once.

"You have to admit Luo Tingyu's name if I mention it?"

Only then did Ling Yiyao realize that I already knew the truth, and was immediately speechless.

I was full of grievances and anger, and I wanted to vent the past, but I tried my best to hold back and asked, "Can you give me a reasonable explanation? If you really choose to be with him, I will only I can accept my fate, but it is a pity that the ten-year relationship has such an unbearable ending."

"You're thinking too much," Ling Yiyao said in a cold voice, "I haven't told my family my address, but they know the name of my company, and after finding the address on the Internet, Luo Tingyu drove over."

"So you took him to the dormitory?"

"I can't let the people in the company see a joke, can I?" Ling Yiyao paused for a moment, and then said, "My mother is here too."

I was stunned.

"Luo Tingyu said that he wanted to treat winter diseases in summer, so he took my mother to Nanjing to see an old Chinese doctor who treated bronchitis. I knew that was just an excuse, but I couldn't avoid it anymore. Yesterday I took her to Sun Yat-Sen Mausoleum and Jiming Temple, stay in the hotel at night, today I said I have to work overtime, so I came out early in the morning."

"Then what did she say?"

Ling Yiyao sighed in disappointment, and said, "What else can I say? We started arguing as we talked, and I was desperately homesick some time ago, but now that she's here, I'm even more afraid of going home."

At that time, I vaguely realized that the struggle between myself and Ling Yiyao seemed so feeble, we were like two children playing on the beach, the sand fortifications built with confidence could not withstand the gentle lick of the tide.Ling Yiyao's mother only stayed in Nanjing for one night, understatedly dismantling Ling Yiyao's psychological defense. After reading the diagnosis report and listening to the doctor's advice, Ling Yiyao became anxious.

When her mother was pregnant, the family conditions were not good, and she suffered from bronchitis.After many years of careful treatment, her mother's condition has been relieved, but this time the relapse is aggravated due to her daughter's marriage and love affairs. Ling Yiyao thinks that she is to blame.

Kind people are always threatened because of their kindness; filial people are always threatened because of their filial piety; and the only thing I can be threatened is Ling Yiyao's happiness, "If you love her, leave her", this is something I cannot refute reason.

Throughout the summer, I was extremely busy, running around the construction site during the day, lying under the light bulb at night to read the blueprints, and taking time out to read and prepare for the first-level construction engineer exam.Occasionally, when I was free, I would just sit in the room and look at the calendar beside the bed, calculating the date of completion and acceptance of the project over and over again, and how much capital I could hold after this project.

The piling team's work shed has a dilapidated color TV, connected to an external signal pot, and can receive programs from many TV stations.Occasionally I will go there for a while, especially like to watch Jiangsu Satellite TV.It's not watching If You Are the One, or watching a TV series, I just want to see the street scene in the camera.One day, a special program introduced Nantong's blue calico. I just grabbed the remote control and let those guys who wanted to watch anti-Japanese dramas hang out for more than ten minutes.

What pained me the most was that Ling Yiyao seemed to be getting more and more indifferent to me. She used to answer the phone happily, but now she asked, "What's the matter?"

"No, I just miss you."

"Could it be Chagang?"

"Are you hurting me on purpose like this?" I asked dissatisfied.

"Do I have it?"

"You have such a cold attitude, are you unwilling to answer my call?"

She said: "It is impossible for us to be as hot as our first love for the rest of our lives. One day, you will be impatient when you receive my call, and you will feel nothing when you hold my hand."

I chuckled: "Maybe you're right, but what decade is that?"

Ling Yiyao was silent for a long time before he said: "My mother has been arguing with me a lot these days, and when she makes troubles, she gets bronchitis. She's going to talk about severing the mother-daughter relationship. What can I do? I used to feel that I was too Life is very good, the family is harmonious, the love is happy, and the studies are going well. But now, the family, love and work are all messed up. I have insomnia every night, and I wake up in the morning thinking about how to get through today. I am really very happy. Tired, so tired."

I have never seen Ling Yiyao expose his fragility like this, but I don't know how to comfort him, because my own heart is as empty as a bottomless canyon without even an echo.I really want to hold her tightly, but I feel like I am fighting a tug-of-war with her family. Everyone is refusing to let go under the banner of loving her, but no one cares that she is caught in it. What a pain to tear.

I said: "Since you are in such a difficult situation, then don't force yourself and go back."

Ling Yiyao was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Did you say that?"

I took a deep breath, tried to swallow back the tears, and said, "I said it."

There was silence on the other end of the phone, and then hung up.

For a long time after that, neither of us stubbornly refused to contact each other. It wasn't until the landlord in Nanjing called me one day and asked me where the other key was, that I didn't know that she had returned the house and went home.

Ling Yiyao's phone call was no longer available.

In late September, the first-level construction engineer qualification examination, I used this as an excuse to apply to Lao Liu for a ten-day vacation.Now is the critical period of the whole project, Lao Liu is not willing to let me leave for half a step, but he is worried that it will affect my future, and it will be difficult to explain in the future, so he has to approve my vacation.

I handed over all the data in my hand along with the construction log to the project department, and Xiao Meng drove me off the Gobi Desert in that off-road vehicle, which skidded and bumped all the way to the train station.

"Do you want me to bring you something?" I asked Xiaomeng.

Xiao Meng opened his mouth, but stopped talking, shook his head and said, "Forget it."

This guy probably almost thought he had a girlfriend.

From Nanjing to Urumqi, turn away from the morning sun and rush towards dusk, while from Urumqi it is the opposite.For more than 40 hours, I was thinking about my mind in a daze. At sunset, I wondered if it was an ominous omen that I was getting farther and farther away from the sun.I was helpless, feeling so weak that my strength was almost small, and I could only hope for these irrelevant revelations.
