However, the phone rang three times and was picked up.
Before the sound of "Hello" penetrated her eardrums, Jiang Ningyu's mind flashed with the ghostly association of a woman answering the phone.
But it was indeed Lin Xuyue's voice. It was just that the background sound was a bit noisy.
In order not to disturb him for too long, Jiang Ningyu kept her words short, "Lu Li called me just now and fell drunk on the street. Isn't it convenient for you to pick him up?"
Not sure whether he was shocked by Lu Li "passed on the street drunk" or by her extremely cold voice at this moment, it took two seconds for Lin Xuyue's voice to ring again, "Colleagues are treating us, we are all drinking together.
, I’m still surprised that he suddenly disappeared... I’ll go look outside, he shouldn’t have gone far.”
His tone was as friendly as ever, and he even outlined the causes and consequences. Those who didn't know it thought they had a close relationship.
Look, he is such a person, he is easy to get carried away and rub his nose in her face, and then pour cold water on her with the details that he knows she cares about most.
Jiang Ningyu suddenly felt an unspeakable sadness. She reported an address in a calm tone and said, "Here is the address a passerby gave me. Check it out." Then she hung up the phone.
She didn't know why she felt sad. It was probably because she had lost and regained something knowingly. In order to prevent this emotion from overflowing, she thought it would be better to cut off contact.
The next day was Saturday. Jiang Ningyu got up late and was on her way to the hospital when she received a message from Lu Li, which was a very simple eight words:
[Don’t worry about things in the early morning]
After saying this, I almost thought they had done something bad.
Jiang Ningyu replied, "No, keep going" and forgot about the matter.
During the three-kilometer journey home from the hospital, she rode a shared bicycle slowly, humming softly on the night streets where cars passed by.
The gentle evening breeze made her feel comfortable, but when she passed the CBD ring road, a group of people came out of the commercial building opposite. The girl she had seen in the group photo, wearing a white dress and a black skirt, was smiling at the people next to her and saying:
Wearing something.
Looking at the topic that seemed relaxed or joking, two colleagues laughed so hard that they laughed, while the man next to her had his eyes half-closed and a faint smile on his lips.
They have to work overtime on Saturdays... Look how happy he is living in his own world... He has his own career and his own world now, and he will also have his own girl in the future...
During the twenty seconds she waited for the red light to turn green, Jiang Ningyu had so many thoughts, as if she had seen an unbreakable glass.
My heart skipped a beat.
Falling slowly again.
The man opposite seemed to feel something, and suddenly raised his eyes to cast a glance.
The scene at this moment seemed to have appeared countless times in her dreams. Jiang Ningyu did not avoid it, she nodded calmly and politely at him and smiled, then she rode her bike and turned into the nearby...
In the alley.
Damn, she was going to go through the traffic light!
There was no bicycle lane on the road at the other end of the alley, so Jiang Ningyu could only return the bike, then cross the road and prepare to take a long detour home.
You had obviously just had the opportunity to pass by him as if nothing had happened and express your attitude, so why were you so weak and timid?
Jiang Ningyu slapped her forehead in frustration and sighed in her heart, always feeling that she could handle it better.
A new snack street was built across the road, and it was the busiest time. She simply went shopping and ate, and bought a box of barbecue to take back.
Lu Nan came to see her again, still about the class reunion.
Jiang Ningyu thought about it again and again, but still declined with excuses. She happened to be notified of a business trip on the 1st of next month, so she was very busy now.
The day when Li Weiwei was taken out of the hospital was Tuesday, and Jiang Ningyu took half a day off.
The weather was nice early in the morning, but the atmosphere in the ward was a bit solemn.
Li Weiwei's father was very angry because Li Weiwei exposed the matter to the media. He couldn't save his face, so he cursed her with all kinds of unpleasant words and accused her of not being smart enough to do things without consulting her family.
Li Weiwei had a temper like him, so naturally she couldn't bear it, and the two started to scold each other. At first, they just scolded each other because no one could stop them, but later they started to take action. When Li's father got emotional, he picked up the lunch box on the table and threw it at himself.
Call my daughter.
Jiang Ningyu, who had been advising for a long time, was startled and subconsciously blocked Li Weiwei's side.
Hearing a "bang" sound, Jiang Ningyu felt her head was buzzing, so she covered her head and squatted on the ground.
Now, everyone was panicking.
Jiang Ningyu cried in pain. It may be more appropriate to say that she shed tears physiologically. The top of her right head was in pain from the hit. She held her head and rolled on the ground.
At that look, the Li family members all panicked. Those who called for a nurse called for a nurse, and those who called for a doctor called for a doctor. Li Weiwei was also so panicked that she anxiously tried to help her up, but failed to do so.
"It's okay, it's okay, just calm down and you'll be fine." Jiang Ningyu shed tears and comforted her in turn.
"You're crying like this!"
"I can't control it, it hurts! Don't touch me yet, I want to lie on the ground for a while..."
Seeing that she still had the strength to speak, Li Weiwei breathed a sigh of relief, but said to her, "Please take your hands away a little, and let me see if there is a bump on your head."
"It hurts, I don't want to move."
"Just a moment."
Jiang Ningyu moved her hand away slightly. Then she heard a "click" sound of taking pictures.
Her face suddenly darkened and she said feebly, "Li Weiwei, do you still have a conscience? You actually filmed my dark history at this time?"
"I have a bold guess that needs to be carefully verified." Li Weiwei pretended to be mysterious. Seeing that she pressed her hand back again, her tone was a little worried, "I'm going to see why the doctor hasn't come yet."
"Your father is really ruthless, can he be a little more serious?" Jiang Ningyu joked in amusement.
Jiang Ningyu had a bump on the right side of her head. After the doctor came to check, she said it was nothing serious. Then the nurse brought her an ice pack and asked her to apply it for a while.
Naturally, Li Weiwei's father couldn't stop apologizing. After this incident, the anger was dissipated. When Li Weiwei said that he wanted to send her back, he waved his hand and took his wife away first.
But before leaving, he apologized to Jiang Ningyu again, and then solemnly said to her, "Ningyu, you are a good child. You can also help me persuade Weiwei that some things don't have to be made known to everyone.
, what do you think?"
In response, Jiang Ningyu smiled and remained noncommittal.
She didn't want to argue with her best friend's parents. Some elders had fixed ideas and couldn't be moved by a few words, affection and reason, so there was no need to waste words.
It was just after noon when I left the hospital.
Li Weiwei suddenly said that she had something urgent to do and couldn't send her home. Jiang Ningyu just thought it was a lawyer's job, and because she was a little dizzy, she emphasized, "You must come to me if you have anything," and took a taxi.
