At this moment, An Lan suddenly walked back to her seat. Something was obviously wrong with her expression, and her whole body was exuding a chill.
But I could only continue to pretend, pretending that nothing happened, smiled and asked her: "An Lan, have you finished eating? Do you want to eat more? I have something to say to you.
"
"No, you can eat." As she said that, she grabbed the handbag on the seat and left without looking back.
"An Lan, what's the matter with you?" I stood up and shouted to her pretending not to understand.
She didn't answer me and left the restaurant.
I watched her back until she completely disappeared into the restaurant.
My heart also dropped, and I fell heavily on the chair.
Zhou Mo reached out and patted me on the shoulder, let out a long sigh and said, "You made your own choice. I have asked you many times if you have considered it."
I picked up the tea in front of me, took a sip, and then said, "I'm fine. I know this is the result."
"Maybe now you are just a scumbag in her heart!"
I smiled bitterly and said, "This is better than her spending her whole life guarding me. She should pursue her own happiness, not me."
Zhou Mo looked at me and was stunned for a moment, but said no more.
I subconsciously looked out the window and happened to see An Lan walking out from downstairs of the restaurant. Her steps were very hurried, as if she didn't want to stay here any longer.
She was standing on the roadside, seemingly waiting for a taxi. I seemed to see her reaching out to wipe away her tears.
At that moment, my heart almost melted. I really wanted to chase her out and tell her that it was all false and tell her the truth.
But when I thought this, she had already got into a taxi.
Zhou Mo then sighed again: "Now I finally understand why you didn't tell her the truth. You love her."
"Does this need to be said?"
"But you hurt her again with your own hands."
"I said, if she doesn't do this, she will be in even more pain, and this pain will be with her for the rest of her life."
"If you ask what love is in this world, it will teach you how to make love between life and death!" Zhou Mo then sighed with emotion.
After sighing, she smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "Why can't I meet a man who loves me dearly?"
"We will meet you. You are a good girl."
"Haha, send me a good guy card, right?"
"No, you will really meet that good man. Maybe he is also looking for you at this moment."
"hope so!"
She paused and asked me again: "Now that everything is settled, when will we go to Beijing?"
"Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow will do."
"Well, let me coordinate it first so that we can be admitted directly to the hospital after we go to Beijing."
"Thanks a lot."
Zhou Mo shrugged and said, "Who told me to fall in love with you? But it's okay. Just treat it as an experience in my life. I will remember this experience forever."
I went back to my apartment with Zhou Mo, and she started to pack some luggage and belongings for her upcoming trip to Beijing, while I sat on the hanging chair on the balcony and stared at the city at night in a daze.
This city is full of desires everywhere, but it attracts generations of people to come and spend their precious youth here.
But how many traps and temptations are hidden behind the prosperity here? How many people have lost their way here?
It seems that each of us will be slowly eroded in the melting pot of society until we can no longer remember what we looked like when we were young.
As sung in the same song:
The dream I once had became the sun that shattered when I touched it. I fervently hope that before I leave, I can gain the faith that will allow me to persevere.
An Lan, I hope your future life will become better and better.
I said silently in my heart.
The next morning, I didn't go to the company anymore. If I did, I didn't know how to face An Lan.
After getting up and having breakfast, Zhou Mo and I packed our luggage together. Maybe we will leave for Beijing today.
Until almost noon, Gao Sheng suddenly called me.
He said to me: "Brother Chen, what time has it been? Are you and An Lan still under the covers?"
I heard something from his words, that is, An Lan didn't go to the company either.
Oops! She might be angry with me and no longer wants to go to the company.
This is the last thing I want to see. I have thought about it, but I didn't expect it to actually happen.
Before I could reply, Gao Sheng said again: "What's wrong? Are you still awake?"
"Wake up, what, An Lan didn't go to the company?"
"Hey, you are not together! I thought you had agreed not to come together."
"Didn't I tell you that I'm going out of town during this period? I'll call her later and ask."
"Well, the main reason is that there is a meeting in the afternoon, and one of you must come!"
"I know, let's do this for now. If she doesn't come, I will come."
Gao Sheng responded and hung up the phone, but I hesitated to call An Lan to ask about her situation.
After much thought, I decided to call Chen Min and ask.
So I found Chen Min on WeChat and made a voice call to her.
After a while, Chen Min answered the voice request.
I didn't waste any time and asked her directly: "Chen Min, does An Lan live at your place?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
"Didn't she go to the company today?"
"No, what's wrong?"
"Don't keep asking me what's wrong. I want to ask you what's going on with An Lan now?"
"How do I know? She has been shutting herself in the room and ignoring me when I call her to eat. I want to ask you what's wrong?"
Chen Min's words made me realize the seriousness of the problem. I hurriedly said to her: "I will come to your place right away. Are you at home?"
"I'm at work, Mr. Chen."
"Then An Lan is at home, right?"
"Here, go find her yourself."
I didn't want to talk any more and hung up the phone. I told Zhou Mo and went out to Chen Min's residence.
It seems that I still have to face her. No matter what, I have to explain certain things to her face to face.
After arriving at Chen Min's residence, I called Chen Min again and asked her for the password for her house's combination lock.
After Chen Min told me the password, I opened the door and walked in.
I came to a bedroom with the door closed. An Lan must be in the bedroom.
I froze at the door of the room and hesitated for a long time before raising my hand and knocking on the door.
At the same time, I shouted to An Lan: "An Lan, it's me. Please open the door. I have a few words to say to you."
There was no response from inside, so I knocked on the door several times and called her twice.
Still no response, I tried to twist the door handle, but the door was locked.
Then it proves that An Lan is here, but why doesn't she respond when I keep calling her?
I suddenly felt something bad, so I slapped the door harder and harder, and shouted anxiously: "An Lan, what's the matter with you? Can you please say something back to me? Even if you don't want to see me, just say something back.
Let me make sure you're safe, okay?"
There was still no response. I was really anxious, fearing that she might not be able to think about it and commit suicide.
When I thought of this, I stopped caring so much, immediately took a step back, and then slammed towards the door.
But the moment I hit the closed door, the door suddenly opened.
But I couldn't stop the car anymore, so I threw myself straight into the room, and then fell heavily to the ground.
