Chapter 52: Once exiled

I didn't plan to stay in Beijing for too long. At first, I wanted to go directly to Hangzhou, but when I thought that I hadn't met Yuan Meng for a year, my guilt and missing came to my mind. I knew that there might be many unnecessary troubles, but I didn't understand this long-depressed heart.

At 5 o'clock in the morning, there was a gray scene outside. Except for a few snack bars that had already turned on the lights to start the busy day, almost no one was seen on the road. This season is always like this, which makes people unable to distinguish between night and day.

The temperature of hugging Yuan Meng a few hours ago still seemed to stay between his arms.

Because there has been no one living here for a long time, the supply of heating and hot water has been stopped here for a long time, but at least there is electricity available. I burned some hot water to warm my hands and changed my clothes and went out.

The temperature in Beijing is very low in the morning. In addition, I have always been prone to cold in the morning and anti-freeze in the evening, and I have not brought back thick clothes, so my whole body has entered a relatively cold state.

"I heard that you are back. Don't you have enough money?"

SMS came suddenly.

Why, why did you know the news of my return so soon? I looked around in horror, as if my every move was being monitored.

"Where are you?"

I didn't reply to her text message until I confirmed that there was no one around.

"It doesn't matter where I am. Where do you come from and where you go? This place will never welcome you." The other party replied almost in seconds, as if nothing had been done, just holding his mobile phone and waiting for me.

I am like a bug that has fallen into the cobweb for a long time. I thought I had gained freedom, but I didn't find myself wandering in this huge cobweb without end.

"Hey, why did you come out so early!"

The sudden appearance of Yuan Meng shocked me.

"I should say this sentence. Why did you come here in the early morning?" I turned around and looked at Yuan Meng as if nothing had happened.

"I'm not moved to know that you don't sleep well, so I came to accompany you!" Yuan Meng smiled happily.

"Yes, yes, you're the best. I'm so moved now," she said as assigned to welcome this.

"It's so insincere you, but I'm brave the cold..."

"I'm starving. Let's find a place to eat first." I quickly stopped Yuan Meng's long speech and witnessed a snack stall closest to me and fled in a hurry.

"Hey, I haven't finished yet..."

In fact, I have already broken the habit of eating breakfast over the years, which is just an excuse. In fact, I have something to ask her and want to let go of my hanging heart over the years.

"You don't know how annoying Liu Ziyang is now. Since he became a life committee member, he has been like a women's director all day. He has to ask about big and small things one by one.

From the moment we sat down, Yuan Meng began to talk endlessly about how Liu Ziyang was disobedient and how he bullied her, a strong and strong woman over the years.

"Did he mention me to you during my absence?" I asked Yuan Meng.

"Liu Ziyang?"

"Hmm."

"When you suddenly leave, we do have a lot of puzzles and misses. But over time, he seldom mentions your things. I think that whether you are relatives or friends, you will eventually be estranged if you don't contact them for too long.

Yuan Meng said lightly.

"Well, yes. No matter how unforgettable the feelings are, they can't stand the destruction of time. I smiled lightly.

"No, no, no, Luolin, don't misunderstand what I mean. I don't think our relationship has been diluted."

Yuan Meng suddenly explained in a hurry.

"I know, you are still so stupid." With that, I reached out and touched her head.

"You always treat me as a child." Yuan Meng touched me with a smile in the same way.

Suddenly, I found that this habit seemed to seep into my bones and could not forget it. When it began and where it would end, white memories floated in this familiar city, facing the closest friends. But who was the person who did this to me at first disappeared from my memory forever and can never be found.

"What's wrong with Ziyang? It seems that you haven't said a word since you met."

"It's your mouth that hasn't stopped. We don't have time to talk."

I casually found a reason to prevaricate. I know that Yuan Meng will not doubt what I said, and according to her personality, she will not pay too careful attention to these things.

During the period of leaving, not only me, but also everyone was growing up and changing something more or less, just like Yuan Meng. I thought she would not find the strangeness between me and Liu Ziyang, but I didn't expect to be seen. But at least I was relieved that Liu Ziyang did not tell Yuan Meng about it.

"Will you still leave when you come back this time?" Yuan Meng asked me.

"I'm going to Hangzhou in a few days. Madeleine can't always bother Ye Yichen to take care of me."

"Have you always been in touch?"

Yuan Meng has always cared about Ye Yichen, but she can't tell whether she is annoying or guarded.

"No, I left to stay away from everyone here. I don't want to ask about those people and those things anymore. As long as I stay here, whether they like it or not, those people will come to me one by one. No matter what they want from me or even what they want me to do, I can't resist.

There is no emotional fluctuation in my words, just like reading with manuscript paper. I don't have the strength to recall those dream-like past events. If I can, I want to forget them forever.

Yuan Meng didn't say anything and pushed me aimlessly while listening.

"Actually, there is something I don't know if I should tell you." After half silence, Yuan Meng finally spoke.

"About what?"

"Si, Situlei" Yuan Meng paused for a moment, and she seemed to be very reluctant to say these three words.

And I also froze with the moment she said the name.

"I don't want to hear it."

"Well, let the past pass." Yuan Meng relaxed after hearing me say this.

"Is he okay?" Although I said that I didn't want to hear about him, I couldn't help wondering if he had been indifferent to those things and then returned to the life I had never seen.

"Well, it's good, it's good." Yuan Meng giggled as he spoke.

I know she is lying to me, because every time she lies, she is very unnatural. And if what he said at this moment is really lying to me, that is to say, he is not good now. But I didn't continue to ask. After all, he has long drawn a line with me forever with my departure a year ago, and my concern should be over.

Yuan Meng and I had nowhere to go. After eating all the way from the Second Ring Road to the Third Ring Road, we returned satisfied.

On the way home, I told Yuan Meng that there was still something to deal with, so I didn't ask her to take me home.

In fact, when we were shopping during the day, Liu Ziyang sent me a message asking me to meet at night under the tears of the Minghan mermaid and told me not to let Yuan Meng know.

And even if he didn't say so, I didn't intend to tell Yuan Meng.

Because he didn't specify the time, I tried to come back as early as possible, but he had already waited there.

"Why did you come back?" This is the first thing Liu Ziyang said to me when I came back.

"This is my home. Can't I come back?"

The conversation between me and Liu Ziyang was cold and cold. I don't know if he will leave angrily again.

"How unrestrained you left at the beginning, and even generously sent your parents away so that they would not be disturbed. Now you can still come back and say that this is your home. Liu Ziyang sneered.

"The only thing I can do is to protect my family from harm, and everything else is none of my business."

I said lightly and turned my head aside. I was afraid that I would see Liu Ziyang's face, and I didn't want to be asked by him like this again.

"So, Situ Lei deserves to be hurt. Right?" Liu Ziyang's voice gradually became cold.

"Yes." I was silent for a long time and said this word.

"Anyway, I have no use value. I can see that you are living a better life than all of us when I see you this time. We got to know each other for nothing. I, Liu Ziyang, beg you to get out of here and don't let Situ Lei see you.

After saying that, Liu Ziyang turned around and left here. I know that we will never meet again. Even if we meet because of Yuan Meng, we will be like strangers.

I am calm and lonely by the roadside. Carefully stroked the hand of the sculpture.

The face in the water became more and more haggard because of just a few words, and gently muttered, "Everything knows people's hearts for a long time. Have you ever hurt me?"
