Chucheng

Chapter 19

God, and then yelled at the phone viciously: "Xiaomian, disturbing people's dreams early in the morning, your jokes are not funny at all!"

Pressing down the phone with a "snap", Lin Yi covered himself with a quilt and prepared to continue meeting Duke Zhou.The phone rang again, and Zero smiled wickedly: "Qingmeng? It's Chunmeng, right? Hurry up to Tianhe to pick you up!"

Zero is a classmate of Lin Yi and Chen Jie from elementary school to junior high school, whose real name is Lin Yongsheng.

Among Lin Yongsheng's four older sisters, he was the only son who was raised in the palm of his parents' arms since he was a child. He was a distant cousin with her family, and he was a younger brother two months younger than her in terms of rural seniority.In the first year of junior high school, Lin Yongsheng was the smallest among his classmates. Lin Yi often relied on his height to be taller than him, and often played around with the big sister's limelight in front of him, which made him miserable.I remember that she changed the name of all his textbooks and homework from "Lin Yongsheng" to "0 Yongsheng", and warned him aggressively that if he dared to change it back, she would ignore him again.

He smiled foolishly, with a snot in his nose: "Can I change my homework?"

Lin Yi was complacent at this time: "Call me sister, and I will help you change the name on the homework book..."

Lin Yongsheng looked around, and after making sure that there was no one else, he called Lin Yi like a thief.

Later, when Chen Jie found out about this, he often teased him for his lack of backbone, how could he submit to his power and be willing to be called sister?With sly eyes, he said with a smile: A man can rise and bend.

Later, English courses were opened, and the English teacher just taught them "Zero" to "Ten".The boy raised his hand suddenly, and the teacher called his name. He hesitated for a long time before he said what was in his heart: "Teacher, everyone...all the students...I...my name will be Zero from now on, please call me by my English name from now on... ..."

Everyone laughed, only the English teacher nodded frequently: "Okay, okay, apply what you have learned, everyone should learn like Lin Yongsheng..."

As a result, the 93rd freshmen of Chucheng Middle School set off a new upsurge of worshiping foreigners and adopting English names.

After graduating from junior high school, because of his parents' choice, Lin Yi went to the city's mechanical and electrical school to study in a technical secondary school. Because his scores did not reach the high school admission threshold, he begged his father to use all the resources of his relatives to enter the mechanical and electrical school through the back door.During those three years, this kid suddenly grew like he was drenched in urea.In a blink of an eye, they were a head taller than Lin Yi. Although Chen Jie and the two of them were not in the same school, because the school was not far away, they often went to and from school together at the beginning. Zero still likes to find her by virtue of "near water".So that later, at that sensitive age, rumors about the two of them grew faster than his stature, and he had to draw the boundary between Chu and Han. Lin Yi threatened him not to talk to her if there was no important matter.

In the technical secondary school graduation message book, a passage from Zero is still fresh in my memory.He wrote, "Stupid" and cute, but "dirty" in words, my younger brother's admiration for you is like a torrent of water, endless, but you don't give me a chance...

Lin Yi wore a thin skirt and a pair of slippers. Not far from Luogang to Tianhe, she stood in front of Xinyijia in front of Tianhe. There are many stops here, such as No. 102 bus. Zero said on the phone Connect here.Recently, the subway was being built in Guangzhou, and the streets were disembowelled everywhere, with yellow muddy water dripping from time to time, and a depressive musty smell and the exhaust gas of industrial machinery filled the air.

It has been half a year since Chen Jie disappeared from her life from last September to now, and Lin Yi doesn't know how to spend every day of this half year.She didn't even know where he was. Since the phone call last year, there had been no news of him for such a long time, as if he had disappeared from this world.There are people coming and going on the street, men and women of all colors, no one would care about a strange woman waiting carelessly.There is always an almost cruel expression on the face, and the kind of heartbreaking tenderness tears all the words.

The temperature of Yangcheng couldn't warm her heart, and in her blue limbs, there was only a withered soul scattered here and there.The glass door of the supermarket absorbs the sunlight in this turbid space, giving her an irresistible warmth.She pressed her bare cold arms, calves, and heels greedily against them, very comfortable, like a gentle embrace once.Under her thin skirt, her back, which was too heavy to straighten due to loneliness, stretched in this gentle embrace.

Lin Yi graduated five years ago and is currently the administrative and personnel supervisor of a bulk material import and export company in Guangzhou. In the past five years, she has adapted to the high-intensity working atmosphere in this impetuous and complicated southern city, and she is quite proficient in speaking Cantonese. Coupled with her already slightly brown skin, people can't tell that she was originally born in a land of fish and rice by the Yangtze River.She is busy at work, but after taking a rest, she is not a weak woman who needs care and love.In the years of association with Chen Jie, from helping each other to knowing and loving each other, and from knowing and loving each other to being apart today, although her heart seems to be bathed in sunshine, she often feels a bottomless pressure.Perhaps, as Chen Jie said, she made him feel pressured, and he wanted to pursue something that could rely on his own efforts to prove himself.However, there is no distinction between you and me in love, why did he separate the two people so clearly, can't the relationship between us be called love?

Perhaps, love is too deep, and sometimes it becomes heavy and suffocating.Chen Jie once said: You are so good, I am always afraid that I am not good enough for you...

Now she feels lonely, let her understand: the so-called loneliness is not that no one cares about you, but that the person you care about most does not care about you.Lin Yi sometimes wonders, is it because she cares that Chen Jie gradually stays away from her?Give him some time and he will come back.But it has been more than half a year since the two lost contact this time, and anything can happen during such a long period of time. This is a waiting without promise.

So in the past half a year without Chen Jie, Lin Yi devoted all her energy to her work. Even when a staff member in the department was on maternity leave, she did not recruit another staff. Instead, she took it all by herself, just like a graduate It was the same as when I arrived in Guangzhou in those few years, trying to numb my sensitive nerves at work and make them less sensitive.However, once the night was quiet, the thoughts spread like a demon, making her unable to fall asleep for a long time.She didn't know, did this relationship end in the summer of last year?

Half an hour passed, and Zero hadn't arrived yet, nor did he call, Lin Yi's face was slightly hot.Falling in love with Chen Jie is so natural. A classmate of nine years in elementary school and middle school. Since high school, Chen Jie has become what the parents in the village call "other people's child", with excellent grades and a tall and straight appearance; One after another, he was admitted to Lanzhou University in the Northwest, and then admitted to the graduate student of Sun Yat-sen University in Guangzhou. These all broke the historical records in the village.She remembered that in the summer of [-], she received a letter. When she blushed and took the letter from her father, she realized that it was written to her by Chen Jie. Even though they live in the same village, their homes are relatively far away. After graduating from junior high school, they still see each other occasionally, but they are not as close as they used to be in primary and secondary schools.After three years of silent baptism, the two of them finally matured step by step. Chen Jie was the first to share with her a major turning point in his own life: he was about to go to a key university in Lanzhou in the northwest to continue his studies!There is a reason that only the two of them know why they went to the Northwest: it is because of Lu Yao's "Ordinary World", a story that happened on the Northwest Plateau, which moved them both at the same time. The people fascinated them both!

Chen Jie said in the letter: "Lin Yi, be my girlfriend. I will take you to Guta Mountain to follow the footsteps of Sun Shaoping and Tian Xiaoxia. For this moment, I have waited for three years and worked hard for three years! "

There is no foreshadowing, let alone any romance, which is frankly regrettable.However, Lin Yi agreed.For a girl who has not been involved in the world, waiting for three years should be a more cherished and touching promise than any promise.She is proud and proud of what her lover has achieved!From that moment on, she stubbornly believed that his confession had taken root in her heart, penetrated all blood, and was deeply rooted.On the evening when they were about to say goodbye to Lanzhou, the two of them climbed up the ancient city tower of Jingzhou together. Looking at the blood-red sunset, Chen Jie said to her: "I will love and protect you forever. You have to wait for me for another four years. When Cheng comes back, we will never be separated again." But Lin Yi replied stubbornly: "If one day you don't love me anymore, tell me, and I won't be entangled." At that time, Lin Yi thought that Chen Jie would definitely not will leave her.

After four years of long-distance relationship, Lin Yi has gone through graduation and work. Except for the occasional distress caused by work, she is always sunny, brilliant and beautiful.Although there were some small misunderstandings between the two of them, they were resolved calmly.In her view, Chen Jie is sensitive and self-respecting, and the poverty of his family makes him work hard everywhere, in order to prove that he is not inferior to other people.In the summer vacation of his junior year, Lin Yi took a 36-hour train from the south to Lanzhou to meet him. At that time, they climbed Baita Mountain together. where he gathers
