"Do you think your old lover who is a policeman can help with this matter?" Xiao Yao asked Yu Bo.

"What old lover?!" Yu Bo glared.

Chapter 230 Walking Alone in Silence

2023-06-12

When Xiao Yao returned home from church, he was immediately enveloped by boundless loneliness again.

Xiao Yao forgot where he had seen this sentence before, "When self-comfort loses its feeling, you are completely and totally alone." This sentence left a deep impression on his young mind.

Of course, precisely because he is still young, Xiao Yao does not have to worry too much about this aspect for now. But now, when the emotion of "complete loneliness" strikes, Yu Luying still does not allow him to comfort himself.

"Then meet me." Xiao Yao changed his request.

"What are we meeting for?" Yu Luying asked him.

"We haven't seen each other for the whole day. Why don't you come down and take a walk? I miss you." Xiao Yao said.

"I... I just came back from the hospital. I'm very tired. I don't really want to go out today." Yu Luying said.

"? Just downstairs."

"I just changed out of my outer clothes and am now wearing pajamas. I don't want to change clothes again. Besides, my hair is already very oily and I will have to wash it again before going out. I don't want to wash my hair today," said Yu Luying.

???

Xiao Yao didn't understand what these excuses were. He just knew that Yu Luying didn't want to see him. He was furious: "I thought we had talked it out on the bus to Fang Bing."

"We've talked it out," Yu Luying said, "I'm not angry with you anymore or anything, I just don't want to go out today."

This is really unreasonable.

You don't want to go out, right? Sure, I'll come to your house to say hello to your mother.

After Xiao Yao proposed this plan, Yu Luying said that Yu Lihua had fallen asleep and she was afraid that Xiao Yao would come and disturb her.

In a nutshell, if you say you won't see me, then you won't see me.

"Did you tell your uncle anything?" Xiao Yao suddenly changed the subject and brought up this matter.

"What?" Yu Luying's tone was full of confusion.

"This afternoon, Brother Bo - your uncle came to see me. Actually, he came to see me in the morning, but we talked in the afternoon." Xiao Yao recounted the entire story of Yu Bo's criticism of him on the phone.

"..." Yu Luying was silent for a while: "Did he tell you that?"

"Yeah." Xiao Yao said.

"I...I know. You should have told me about this." Yu Luying said, "I promise you, I didn't tell him anything."

After expressing their minor concerns to each other, the topic turned to Shen Jie.

"So now Daiyu's girlfriend and his uncle are both waiting for news?" said Yu Luying.

"Well, the next step is to wait for Tianyun and the others to come back. Other methods have not yielded any results so far, but I am so annoyed just waiting like this. I am very anxious," Xiao Yao said, "Anyway, come out and take a walk with me."

Just like that, after going around in circles, the two returned to the starting point of the argument.

"We are together every day. Now that I am feeling down, disappointed and lost, shouldn't you be there for me? - Why don't you put yourself in my shoes?"

"Oh, your old lady-she was in trouble, so you asked me to accompany you and relieve your stress. Is that what you mean? I am a substitute?"

"What are you talking about? You are just being unreasonable."

Both of them got angry and neither of them was willing to give in. They argued for a long time and finally Yu Luying gave in.

"Give me about 45 minutes. I want to wash my hair and change my clothes," said Yu Luying.

"No need. See you tomorrow." Seeing Yu Luying give in, Xiao Yao also showed magnanimity: "I don't have to ask you to listen to me. This is the attitude I want."

Yu Luying: "..."

Thinking of the criticism Yu Bo gave him this afternoon and Yu Luying's attitude towards him since she returned to Shanghai, he felt extremely depressed.

Boring!

He picked up the phone and called Ouyang Qianqian, who answered the call quickly.

But it’s so noisy on the other end of the phone.

"Hey - brother, why did you suddenly think of calling me today?" Ouyang Qianqian said: "Wait a moment, I'll go to a quieter place."

……

"Where were you just now? It was so noisy." Xiao Yao asked her.

"I'm at the disco on Hengshan Road," Ouyang said, "Do you want to come and play with me?"

"No need," Xiao Yao said, "I'm fine. I just haven't contacted you for a long time, so I just wanted to say hello."

After hanging up the phone, not knowing what kind of revengeful feeling he had in his heart, he called Zhao Xiaomei again.

Since he solved the problem of Song Haijian, Xiao Yao has never seen Zhao Xiaomei again. Zhao Xiaomei didn't take the initiative to contact him, but he didn't mind it, and he had no reason to take the initiative to find her.

As for today, just treat it as if you didn’t take Delixin.

Zhao Xiaomei was a little surprised when she received Xiao Yao's call, but she said that she was not in Shanghai and could not meet Xiao Yao.

"Okay." Xiao Yao said.

I knew it would be like this?

However, despite this, Zhao Xiaomei still enthusiastically chatted with him for more than 20 minutes.

"Student Xiao Yao," Zhao Xiaomei then changed the subject: "Xiaomei also saw the story between you and the eldest daughter of the Shen family on the Internet."

"Hey, don't bring up things that are not related to the topic. It will make you feel stressed if you bring them up," said Xiao Yao.

"Are you ready to give up, Xiao Yao?" Zhao Xiaomei's tone was full of teasing: "Is that why you contacted the spare tire?"

"What spare tire?" Xiao Yao said, "I can't give up. I will never give up in this lifetime. I've been trying to find a solution."

"What solution is Xiao Yao thinking of? Can you tell Xiaomei about it?" Zhao Xiaomei asked.

Xiao Yao hesitated for a moment, thinking that Zhao Xiaomei was eccentric and elusive, and it was not appropriate to tell her everything, so he just vaguely said that he was trying to find out the address of Shen Jie's home and was going to visit her.

"Student Xiao Yao knows Miwei Group, right?" Zhao Xiaomei said after listening.

"Of course I know, Shen Jie is the eldest daughter of Miwei Group." Xiao Yao said.

"It may not be easy to find out where the president's home is," Zhao Xiaomei said meaningfully, "but the president has to go to work, right? You can find out where the Miwei Group's headquarters is, right?"

"What you mean is..." Xiao Yao said hesitantly.

"Didn't classmate Xiao Yao say that he wanted to have a frank talk with the eldest lady's father?" Zhao Xiaomei said, "What if we can stop him there? Then we can charge forward like a man, bravely. Whether we succeed or fail, it will be considered an act of responsibility, right?"

"Hmm..." Xiao Yao pondered.

"This is also what many netizens expect of Xiao Yao - a warrior charging for love."

"You spectators have even written the script for me?" Xiao Yao was stunned.

"If you feel that there is no chance of winning a head-on confrontation, there is another way. It is to secretly follow the president to his home. Then you will have the address, right?" Zhao Xiaomei said.

Hmm... I had thought of this method just now.

"But why are you so eager to give me advice?" Xiao Yao said, "I thought you would be eager for me to divide it up."

"But no one thinks that you and Shen Jie's father can come up with any positive results. If you meet in public, at least he won't fight with you. Xiaomei wants you to put things to rest, maybe you can calm down?" Zhao Xiaomei smiled and said, "After you realize the distance between you and the beautiful daffodils blooming in the water, maybe there will be spring for wild lilies?"

"Naruto." Xiao Yao said.

This logic sounds reasonable.

The two chatted for a while, and Zhao Xiaomei invited Xiao Yao to stop struggling and come to visit her in another place, promising to "accompany" him well.

Xiao Yao said "sure next time" and said goodbye to Zhao Xiaomei politely and friendly. He hung up the phone and the loneliness in his heart was relieved a lot.

It was still early, the night was still long, and he obviously couldn't sleep. Xiao Yao rolled back and forth on the bed for more than ten minutes. All he saw was Shen Jie whether he opened his eyes or closed them.

Shen Jie, Shen Jie...

He seemed to be able to see her, wearing red headphones, sitting in the car, with her curved eyes closed, shaking her little head back and forth, while he was outside knocking on the window and shouting loudly, but could not get her attention.

The big ones were kidnapped, and the small ones were kidnapped. They didn't make a fuss earlier or later, but they chose to make trouble at this time. They really know how to pick the time.

The pressure and anxiety that had been slightly calmed down by Zhao Xiaomei began to swell again. Xiao Yao jumped up, got out of bed, and simply called Ouyang Qianqian again, then took a taxi to Hengshan Road to find her.

The name of the store was BabyFace, and it was Xiao Yao's first time to go clubbing, but I won't describe the details here. He met a bunch of Ouyang Qianqian's friends, drank a lot of foreign wine on the rocks, and had a great time clubbing.

Yu Luying made several calls before Xiao Yao answered.

"What are you doing? You make me feel uncomfortable. Please come back soon. Can't I go downstairs and walk with you?" The girl was a little excited.

After declining Yu Luying's kindness, Xiao Yao said goodbye to Ouyang and her friends and took a taxi home.

To be fair and objective, Xiao Yao went to the disco just to release the stress that he had nowhere to go, and he did not mean to play a trick on Yu Luying, otherwise he would not have gone home so obediently after receiving a phone call. But at this moment, he inexplicably felt a vague sense of pleasure.

He almost vomited in the car, but he was still vaguely conscious. He was afraid that Yu Luying would vomit on her mother, so he forced himself to hold it in. He went home, sent a good night message to Yu Luying, and fell asleep.

After waking up, I sat on the bed feeling inexplicably melancholy for a long time. I was in a daze for a long time before I remembered to look at my phone.

Yes, Not Bad.

To put it simply, there are 0 new short messages and 0 new QQ messages, as if they were forgotten in some corner of the world.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

"Cooking for my mother - it's almost noon, you're not going to get up now, are you?"

"It's almost noon now - this is not, ah, never mind, have you been up for a long time?"

"It's been quite a while."

"Oh, so what do you do when you get up?"

"I've been busy until now. I made breakfast for my mom first, then cleaned the house inside and out. It's been a long time since I last cleaned it, so it took me a long time," Yu Luying said. "Then I went out to buy some vegetables, came back to wash and pick them, and now I'm just starting to stir-fry them - oh, I won't tell you, the oil just splattered all over."

Indeed, Xiao Yao smelled the fumes and felt a tingling pain in his arm.

He hung up the phone and typed a line into his mobile QQ: "Don't you even ask me what I'm going to do today?"

After thinking about it, I deleted it and changed it to "I sent you a good night message last night, but you haven't replied yet, and you didn't tell me when you woke up this morning."

After I finished washing and getting dressed, I received a reply saying, "OK, I got it. I'll pay attention next time."

Just when I was about to go out to "Hu Jian Qianli Xiang Wonton" to have some large wontons with mustard greens and meat mixed with peanut butter, Yu Lihua called again.

"Ahem, Xiaoxiao," Yu Lihua said in a kind yet haggard voice, "Have you had lunch?"

"Ah~ Auntie, I haven't eaten yet."

"Come for lunch." Yu Lihua said, then hung up the phone without any questioning.

There is only one good mother in the world, and children with mothers are like treasures. Where can you find happiness without your mother's arms?

So, it was not until the third day after returning to Shanghai that Xiao Yao saw Yu Luying again in her pajamas.

The girl avoided his gaze and silently served rice to three people.

"Thank you." Xiao Yao bowed politely.

“Xiaoxiao,” Yu Lihua said, “Just come. Why are you buying fruits? It’s like you’re a stranger. You don’t need so much at home—”

"Ah~ Auntie, I heard that you were sick yesterday, so I bought some fruit," Xiao Yao explained, "I wanted to come and see you all day yesterday, but you told me to go to class when you were in the hospital. Later, I wanted to come to your house to see you, but Yingying kept saying that you were sleeping..."

"Why go to the hospital? Headaches, fevers, minor illnesses..." Yu Lihua said, "Ah, I said don't go to the hospital, but this kid insisted on taking me there. Really, can't I just take some medicine myself..."

As she spoke, Yu Lihua glared at Yu Luying.

Xiao Yao sensed something, but decided to continue playing dumb. He wanted to joke, "Yes, according to your profession, going to the hospital on vacation is equivalent to voluntary overtime work," but then he thought that the doctor was not on duty, so he shut up again.

During the meal, Yu Lihua kept picking up food for Xiao Yaoqiong, so much so that Yu Luying couldn't help but say, "Mom, let him pick it up himself."

Yu Lihua said "okay" to herself, but she continued to hold the clamp with her hands.

Ah, great maternal love.

Xiao Yao slowly changed from being uncomfortable, alert and embarrassed at the beginning to acceptance, and then from acceptance to greed and addiction. If you think about it carefully, it only took more than half a month.

If you think about it, it’s still a little weird, but it feels pretty good.

After dinner, Xiao Yao said goodbye to the Yu mother and daughter and went to Canhua Internet Cafe. He wanted to ask Yu Luying to come along, but then he changed his mind and thought that even if this girl hadn't been acting weird these days, it would not be appropriate to drag her along to look for Shen Jie, so he gave up the idea.

Xiao Yao searched in Canhua Internet Cafe and found out that Miwei Group has about two bases in Shanghai. One is Miwei Building, which belongs to the Nanjing West Road business district, and the other is Miwei Group’s headquarters, which is located on Hongsong West Road and belongs to Minxing District.
