In the afternoon, white clouds like cotton wool floated over Jianghai, and the weather became cooler. When two tourist buses drove into the main road of Jianghai, the male and female students in the bus were pointing and laughing, and they were full of interest.
"Lingjing, have you really decided to go to Vienna?"
In the middle seat, Dongfang Wan frowned and asked Lingjing who was sitting by the window. In Guilin these days, her mood has not been very high. Dongfang Wan is quite sensitive in this regard, so she can naturally find out that on the return trip.
When she heard the news while chatting about schools in Beijing on the way, she probably had an answer. She probably struggled for a long time to come up with this answer. She was probably thinking about it during this trip.
"The environment in Vienna... should be better..." He turned his head and a clear smile appeared on Lingjing's face.
"Well, now that you've decided... when will you leave? How about we all have a party before we leave?"
"Probably...tomorrow..." Lingjing shrugged slightly, "It's a bit urgent..."
"Ah? How come it's so fast!"
"That's why I went on a trip with everyone before this happened."
Treating Lingjing as a friend worth making, Dongfang Wan, who had always been innocent, was naturally a little sad when she suddenly said she wanted to leave, and pulled her to chatter. As for her, she naturally knew Lingjing, Jiaming, and Shashasan.
There are some doubts in my heart about the feelings between people that have been accumulated since childhood, but naturally it is impossible to ask such questions at this time. I told you to take good care of yourself when you go abroad, and wrote down your phone number.
Give it to her. On the way to the station, she asked about Jiaming's situation.
"...He will come to pick you up later, right?"
"Jia Ming... probably not. Maybe it's Shasha. I called her and said she would arrive at this time today. But her phone couldn't be reached this morning..."
"I think Jiaming will definitely come over. You guys are so kind... But it doesn't matter. If he doesn't come over, my brother will come to pick me up today. We can take you back first. Don't worry too much. My brother had
He really likes you, but he has changed his ways, haha..."
While talking, the speed of the bus has slowed down. The students on the bus are greeting each other, and the boys are taking their luggage off the rack. The girls are wearing sun hats or holding parasols in their hands, and they are making noises.
We were about to get off the bus. After a while, the bus stopped and a group of people crowded under the bus. After a while, the outside became a sea of parasols.
Lingjing didn't have many things, but she also packed some messy things that she was forced to buy while following Dongfang Wan in Guilin. She also packed a big travel bag. A boy wanted to help her get it, but she shook her head and refused. Again
After returning to Jianghai, her heart was as complicated as having tied more than 10,000 bows. She didn't want to get off the car, but in the end she was pulled by Dongfang Wan and blended into the crowd. As soon as she stepped onto the ground below, she almost felt all over her body.
All my strength was drained away in an instant. My mood, which had seemed calm in the car, was completely gone. Surrounded by excited crowds and colorful parasols, something grabbed my heart and I couldn't breathe at all.
I was angry and didn't know where to go.
The next moment, Dongfang Wan patted her shoulder: "Hello, hello..." Pointing forward, she didn't know what she was talking about. Lingjing looked over blankly. They were all people, with backs, profiles, and smiles.
Not sure who is who.
Holding a travel bag in one hand, she was pulled by Dongfang Wan. She staggered a few steps among the crowd. As the scenery moved, her eyes finally passed through the crowd and she was walking here from the opposite side of the parking lot.
Come here, who is it if it’s not Jiaming?
"It seems that my brother has no chance..." Dongfang Wan sighed regretfully beside him, with a happy smile on his face.
Not knowing what kind of expression she had on her face at this time, Lingjing swallowed a mouthful of saliva and felt a loud "gurgling" sound in her throat. Her steps were stiff and her eyes were looking at the approaching figure.
There was no way to move away. After a moment, he passed through the crowd, walked closer, picked up her big travel bag, and chatted a few words with Dongfang, but she couldn't hear her clearly.
Her eyes moved to his arm. The bandage where she had made a cut that day was gone, or maybe it was on his wrist. Why? She was thinking about this and wanted to say something, but she couldn't find it.
She could speak until Jia Ming said: "Let's go." She frowned and followed him through the crowd.
"I went to Shasha's place in the morning. She said you would arrive at this time and asked me to pick you up..."
"I didn't get through Shasha's call..." She felt her voice was a little hoarse.
"The affairs of their gang have been in a mess recently. It's okay..."
Taxis are very convenient. There are taxis at the door after leaving the parking lot. Jiaming opened the door and Lingjing sat in. She took the travel bag without any intention of letting it in: "Thank you for coming to pick me up." Okay.
After saying this with difficulty, she slammed the car door and closed it.
The car started and gradually moved away. On the side of the road not far away, the door of a Santana opened. Dongfang Lu came out. He looked at Jiaming standing here, slightly confused. At the same time, Dongfang Wan ran over from behind.
: "Hey, Jiaming, did you have a fight because Lingjing was going to Vienna?"
"Uh, no..."
"Okay, okay, now is the time when everyone is working hard for themselves. Anyway... no matter how good friends are, they have to be separated for a while..." Dongfang Wan comforted her in her own way.
He also walked over, said hello, and then asked his sister to go to the car by herself. After she walked away knowingly, she sighed.
"Fang Zhitian really didn't react to the Shazhu Gang matter. However, Ying Zifeng is Ying Haisheng's son anyway. This matter is very troublesome. To be honest, you also understand Ying Haisheng's power.
Yes, and Ying Zilan really cares about this younger brother, even though the person involved doesn’t really appreciate it... Well, I don’t know what you are thinking..."
Having already learned the whole story from his own channels, what Dongfang Lu said was no different from Fang Zhi Tiandi, and the answer he received at this time was also the same plain answer.
"talk later……"
"Uh... now the senior officials within Yanhuang Awakening have known your identity, and quite a few people now think that you and Jian Suyan are the same person. To be honest, you did such a beautiful job of killing Yu Shoucang, and I was surprised.
I am worried that there will be big problems after this. Combinations like Gao Tianyuan, Yanhuang Awakening, and Dark Tianqin are themselves based on external troubles. Now that the foreign troubles are gone, the next step may be internal troubles..."
"Yeah." Jiaming nodded noncommittally, turned and left, seemingly not caring about these things at all. Dongfang Lu looked at his back and narrowed his eyes in confusion. When he walked back to Santana's car door, Dongfang Wan
His words made him stunned for a long time: "Brother, did you know? Lingjing is going to Vienna."
"What did you say!"
After returning to the martial arts gym and seeing her parents' smiling faces, Lingjing managed to cheer up.
"...This is a souvenir from our trip to Qixingyan in Guilin. This is the skirt I bought for you, Mom, and Dad, this is a paperweight for you, this is for Shasha, this...this is for Jiaming..."
He packed up the things in his backpack one by one. Although he tried hard to pretend to be very excited, Lingjing was not very interested. The Ye couple could also see that, and their expressions were slightly worried.
Ever since the notice from Vienna came, they had been trying to persuade their daughter to study abroad. But their daughter suddenly called back and said she was leaving, and then she had to leave tomorrow. This really made the parents feel uneasy. On the one hand, they took advantage of this situation.
It took two days to prepare things for their daughter - all the procedures for going abroad, documents and the like had been completed long ago - on the other hand, after discussion, they also roughly guessed the reason why their daughter suddenly changed her mind.
I came to a certain conclusion in my mind, but it was hard to ask for a while. I knew that my daughter seemed to be weak but was actually stubborn, and I also knew that she had many things to consider. Anyway, going abroad is a good thing, and no one of any age has to worry about such things.
Well, or after returning from abroad, it will gradually fade away.
After probably dividing the gifts, I sat quietly for a while, then took a shower, put on a clean and cool summer dress, and not long after returning to my bedroom, I saw my mother walking in.
She suppressed her voice and cried loudly in the bathtub. At this time, her eyes were still a little red, and she could only try to put on a smile on her face: "I was so tired, I almost fell asleep while taking a bath just now..."
"Yes." Duan Jingxian nodded, sat down next to Lingjing, stretched out her arms to hug her daughter, and Lingjing snuggled into her mother's arms: "Mom..." her voice was slightly choked.
After holding Lingjing for a while, Duan Jingxian rubbed her daughter's hair affectionately with her chin: "Your father and I have been thinking about it for a long time, maybe it's because of Jiaming..."
Everyone has experienced the troubles of adolescence. They think they understand the relationship between their daughter, Jiaming, and Shasha. Now Jiaming and Shasha are boyfriend and girlfriend, and their daughter has been together for so long.
Pure friendship, of course, has its place. It is not surprising that this kind of pure love that has been in childhood can last a lifetime. It is also because of this that they did not object to the exchanges between the three of them, but they have been getting along for a long time.
Now that everyone is young and budding, it would be no surprise if my daughter has some affection for Jiaming.
Originally, the three of them grew up together, and the Ye couple were also optimistic about the pairing of their daughter and Jiaming. Even before the relationship between Jiaming and Shasha was announced, they thought about letting Lingjing marry Jiaming in the future. However, later Shasha was asked to marry Jiaming.
They had no choice but to get there first. Thinking about it now, Jiaming and Shasha have been coming to the martial arts gym less recently. Their daughter suddenly said that they were going to Vienna, and she decided to leave immediately. It was probably because she found that she could no longer bear her feelings for Jiaming.
On the one hand, she likes Jiaming, and on the other hand, Shasha is her best friend. Under such circumstances, she naturally has no choice but to leave far away.
There is no right or wrong in this kind of thing. Jiaming and Shasha are right, and their daughter is naturally right. And in the current situation, they naturally support their daughter to go to Vienna. Youth, love... time will always go slowly.
To dilute everything, in fact, now is just the purest age. Maybe one day in the future, Jiaming and Shasha will break up. It is not impossible that Lingjing comes back and the two of them get together naturally.
Not knowing that the truth of the matter was much more complicated than they imagined, Lingjing comforted her mother implicitly for a while, but said nothing. It was close to five o'clock in the afternoon, and Duan Jingxian got up and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
Seeing Lingjing's tired look, he asked her to sleep for a while. However, a moment later, Lingjing's slightly thin figure appeared at the door of the kitchen: "Mom, stop cooking for me. I want to... go out for a while.
…”
"Uh..." Mother Ye held the spatula and seemed to want to say something. She was stunned for a moment and finally couldn't say it.
"Well... let's go to Jiaming... and Shasha's place. I'm leaving tomorrow. Let's celebrate... We also need to bring the gifts that Guilin bought to them... That..."
"I know, let's go quickly." A smile appeared on Mother Ye's face. "If you go late, you won't be able to catch dinner."
Standing at the door struggling to smile, looking at her mother's smiling face, Lingjing suddenly rushed over and hugged her: "Mom, thank you... I'm sorry..." No matter what, when children have to go away, they are always worried about their parents.
, looking at that smile at this time, she realized that what she was thinking about and sad about was her love affair. But she ignored the feelings of her family. However, youth is like this. She patted her daughter on the shoulder and Duan Jingxian said softly: "
Don't be stupid, go quickly..."
"Well..." Lingjing ran out of the kitchen and saw her father in the living room helping her check the things she wanted to take away. She hugged him from behind and kissed him on the face before running away. Ye Han was confused.
Looking back: "What's wrong? What's wrong?"
In the blink of an eye, Lingjing ran out of the room.
I felt such warmth from my parents. In fact, it could not dilute the grievance in my heart. Things like feelings are not arithmetic problems. They cannot be eliminated by just adding one plus one equals two one minus one. I took the bus to the gate of Sacred Heart College and watched the sunset.
, the square in front of Sacred Heart College, which has not yet started school, also seemed empty. When walking through it, she remembered that we used to go to school together here and take a walk together after dinner in the evening. The pairs of figures seemed to be walking beside her.
, Since then, my heart has become even more uncomfortable.
Everything remained the same along the way, but her mood changed... All the way to the bustling game room, she went up the stairs. She stood in front of the familiar door for a long time, and finally took out the key and opened the door. The room was so quiet.
As if dead, a familiar sound of typing on the keyboard seemed to come from outside, and it stopped abruptly in an instant, and then sounded again after a moment. At this time in the past, there should be busy sounds in the kitchen, and the aroma of rice
Floating out, the sound of kitchen knives on the chopping board, the clashing of pots and spatulas, usually Jiaming and her are doing these things, Shasha is watching TV outside, or helping to set the dishes...
She closed the door, took off her shoes, and sat quietly on the sofa for a while. Then she walked from the bedroom to the balcony and walked to the door of the small room next to her. Jia Ming, who was playing on the computer, looked out from inside, and the two looked at each other silently.
For a moment, she retreated quietly, like a ghost.
All the way to the kitchen, she opened the rice vat and started washing and cooking rice as usual. After the rice cooker was powered on, she washed a few green onions, then went to the living room to open the refrigerator, looking for something to eat. Eggs had been stored for several times.
The lean meat, sausages...the sausages are served on a plate, ready to be put into rice for steaming, the lean meat is minced, and the eggs are opened. Everything is so familiar that you can do it even if you close your eyes.
Oil was poured into the pot, making a sizzling sound. She silently made all this according to the previous steps, egg cakes, lean meat and egg drop soup, and sausages cut into thin slices. At some point, Jiaming turned on the TV in the living room.
She had probably finished the work on the computer, and then went into the kitchen to get the dishes and chopsticks to see what she was doing: "The meat has been there for many days, can it still be eaten?"
"It's okay, it's not broken."
They answered calmly, making them look like a young couple whose love for each other started to fade after a long time of marriage. The kitchen is not spacious, and they have to turn sideways when walking around. For the two of them, it can be a perfect fit.
When the food was served, it was getting dark. The two of them sat at the table and ate the modest dinner in silence. Jiaming's appetite seemed to be very good, and he had already eaten two bowls in the blink of an eye. Lingjing
After only taking a few bites, I simply put down my chopsticks and watched him eat. After a long time, I said, "I'm going to Vienna tomorrow."
Jiaming paused for a moment, then continued eating and nodded: "Yes."
Lingjing took a deep breath: "I can't contact Shasha, but as long as you are here, she will be fine..."
"It's nothing serious, Shasha is here now..."
"What should I tell her?"
With a light tone, Lingjing stared at him and interrupted him directly, "You haven't told her about you and Sister Yahan yet, right? I...what can I say to her? Say it to Shasha.
The reason why I went to Vienna..."
She was silent for a moment: "I will call her back when I get there, and then...if you have confessed to her..."
After that, there was silence between the two of them. After eating and washing the dishes, Jia Ming watched TV in the living room outside. Lingjing sat on the bed in the bedroom and sorted some small things in the desk, occasionally looking at Jia Ming in the living room.
The profile of Jia Ming stayed there for a long time. If Jia Ming turned her head to look at her, she would turn her head back to the table to sort out the small items.
These things all have special meaning that is irreplaceable for her. The souvenirs she bought while traveling with Jiaming, the pay stub from her first job to earn money, the "Star Dream" ferry tickets, Jiaming gives them to her occasionally when she is lucky.
Her gifts, the family's income and expenditure record book, the wedding photo album of her, Jiaming, and Shasha... When it was about nine o'clock, she took out a small suitcase and took away what she wanted.
After putting away his things, Jiaming also took out a pile of things from his room.
"...Some of the things I wrote may be helpful to you if you really play the piano in the future. Here is a business card. If anything happens in Vienna that cannot be solved, you can call her no matter what.
, basically everything can be solved, there is also a bank card here, the password is your birthday..."
As he spoke, he put the things next to Lingjing. Lingjing didn't look like she was refusing. She just looked at Jiaming's bandaged wrist for a while and asked, "How did you do it there?"
?”
"careless……"
"You've never been careful..."
Lingjing said this, but Jiaming didn't answer, and she didn't ask any more questions. At about ten o'clock, after packing up the things she wanted to take away, Lingjing buttoned up her suitcase, and the two stood beside the bed for a while.
, Jiaming said: "I'll take you down to call a taxi..." He picked up his suitcase and was about to walk out when Ling Jing suddenly rushed over from behind and hugged him around the waist.
"Just tell me what the reason is!" She cried out with a choked voice.
Feeling the trembling of the girl's body behind him, Jiaming closed his eyes, and after a long while, he turned around and hugged Lingjing, as if he wanted to press her body into his own.
On a summer night, her body was burning hot, Lingjing hugged his neck, her lips were trembling as she searched for Jiaming's mouth, as unfamiliar as if it was the first time between the two of them.
