Lin Yue originally planned to send her home quietly, but he never expected to encounter such a bloody thing. It seemed that the "corpse picking party" had existed a long time ago.
He walked over quickly and yelled "Go away" to Huang Mao who had just spoken.
The guy next to him with hair covering one eye quits.
"Who are you? Just go away and stay there." After saying that, he punched him.
Pa~
Lin Yue pinched his fist and pushed it outward. The guy stood on tiptoes and raised his head, the corners of his mouth twitching in pain.
"Ouch."
Lin Yue pulled down his mask: "Get lost."
This time they could see the person's face clearly. The terrifying scars snaked from his forehead to the corners of his mouth, which looked particularly hideous under the light.
Huang Mao got scared and quickly stood up and stepped back.
The guy with his hair covering his eyes also gave up the idea of revenge, and several people fled with their tails between their legs.
Lin Yue went over to touch Wu Tingting's arm and called her name twice.
There was no response, just a slight shake of the head and two slight hums.
He sighed, removed the disguise from his face, and sat down against her.
"I'm sorry I haven't contacted you for so long."
I don't know if she heard what was said above, or if she drank too much and couldn't control her balance. She slowly tilted her body and leaned on his shoulder.
"I know you went to the railway bureau dormitory to look for me, but the place was already empty. You cried all the way that day and even lost the keys to your house."
"It's not that I don't want to contact you, but..."
Lin Yue sighed and didn't finish his sentence.
It took more than two years for Wu Tingting to like him. It was slow enough, but for his big plan, the progress was still a bit fast. If he appeared in front of her like this, the girl would definitely drag him to see Old Tang and Chen Xun, but the matter with Shen Xiaotang had just begun, and it was not time for a showdown, so he could only grit his teeth and harden his heart and not contact her.
People were coming and going in the connecting passage, some glanced at them and stopped paying attention, and some looked back after walking a few meters away, as if they were curious about what happened between them.
Ten minutes ago, a musician came from the opposite side, holding a guitar and singing "My Deskmate".
Lin Yue thought for a while, regardless of whether she heard it or not: "Let me sing a song for you." After saying that, he stood up and walked to the street singer and threw ten yuan into his guitar bag.
"Thank you. What song would you like to sing to that girl?"
"How do you know the song is dedicated to her?"
"I've been singing here for almost two years, and I've seen a lot of young couples like you."
"Can you lend me your guitar and sing a song?"
"Can you play?"
Lin Yue nodded: "I know a little bit."
The street singer looked at the drunk Wu Tingting and handed over the guitar.
"Thank you." Lin Yue thanked him, returned to where he was before with his guitar in his arms, sat down, put his hand on the fretboard, and plucked the strings lightly.
Ding ding dong dong~
"How many times did we say it in a hurry that year, and then postpone it after seeing each other again."
"It's a pity that no one has it. It's not a battle, it's the eloquence of the seven emotions."
"In that year, we made a hasty commitment that was unbearable."
"You just have to wait for someone else to cash in."
"It's no wonder that the hickey is still there and hasn't accumulated into a cocoon."
"You can't become an immortal even if you embrace hibernation."
"I don't blame this relationship. I don't have time to rehearse it over and over again."
"It is time to forgive the gift of time and regret."
"..."
"We owe each other a debt."
"We want to break the ties."
Wow~
There was a burst of applause from the front.
Some from street singers and some from passers-by.
Lin Yue took off his guitar and handed it over.
"What a 'We owe each other, we have to be disconnected'." The street singer said: "I didn't expect you to be so professional."
Lin Yue shook his head and said nothing.
Seeing that he was not in a good mood, the street singer glanced sideways at the drunk girl: "It's cold outside, take her home quickly."
"Yeah", Lin Yue nodded, turned around and walked back, picking Wu Tingting up from the ground.
The street singer hurried over to lend a hand and help the girl onto his back.
"Be careful on the road."
"knew."
Lin Yue carried her step by step toward the subway station exit.
Her braided hair hung down, gently touching the side of her face, and her breath smelling of alcohol could be heard in his ears.
When approaching the stairs, Lin Yue felt her hand on his shoulder tightening suddenly.
"Don't leave...can you?"
…
Half an hour later.
When Old Tang came down from upstairs, Lin Yue also threw away the cigarette that had only the butt left.
"Get in the car, I know a place where you can get some drinks."
Old Tang opened the door of the van's cab and got in. Lin Yue didn't say anything and got into the passenger seat.
A quarter of an hour later, the two walked into a small bar.
It can be seen that business is good, it is already 11 o'clock at night, and there are still almost half people in the hall.
Old Tang ordered a dozen beers and a plate of dried fruits. After he finished, he opened the lid with a screwdriver and handed it to Lin Yue: "What's going on between you and her?"
Lin Yue took a sip of wine: "How should I put it...it's been two years."
"I'll just say it."
Since last year, he obviously felt that Wu Tingting mentioned Baifeng less often. Even when chatting with friends, she would always interrupt the topic with "It's all in the past."
In the past two months, she would drink a lot of wine at dinner parties. If he hadn't held her down, she would have become extremely drunk.
"To be honest, I've never heard her mention you. Things between the two of you... are pretty well hidden."
Old Tang raised the wine bottle. Lin Yue touched him and took a sip of wine.
"I didn't let her tell you."
"Why?"
Lin Yue sighed: "Because of Chen Xun."
"Chen Xun?"
"You should have heard Chen Xun say that there was a pervert in Experiment 1. He crushed the entire South City in the monthly exams and mock exams. He also won several awards in the International Olympiad, but he fell apart during the college entrance examination."
Old Tang nodded.
Lin Yue said: "I am that pervert."
Old Tang's eyes widened, and it took him a while to realize: "Then what does this have to do with you not letting Tingting know about your existence?"
"You should know that Chen Xun was interested in her before."
"Yes, it happened in junior high school."
"The girl Chen Xun likes now also likes me."
Old Tang almost spit out the drink he drank in his mouth: "Why did you get into trouble with Chen Xun?"
Lin Yue said: "Because of this matter, he and I were very unhappy. Considering the relationship between Tingting and him, if I tell you what happened between me and her, I'm afraid it will affect the friendship between the two of us."
Old Tang nodded. The girl he liked before liked someone, and the girl he likes now also likes that person. This kind of thing would hurt anyone.
But then I thought again: "No, it's not a big deal to just put it off like this. As long as you confirm your relationship with Tingting, doesn't it mean giving him a chance to chase that girl?"
"Do you know who that girl is?"
Old Tang shook his head.
"Fang Hui."
"Fang Hui?"
He stood up suddenly. He could never forget this name, not for the rest of his life.
Because they were classmates, and because in his opinion, it was Fang Hui who killed his good buddy Li He.
Lin Yue waved to him, meaning to sit down and stop being so excited.
"I know what you are having fun with."
"you know?"
"When Fang Hui was in high school, someone kept harassing her. I did some research after I found out."
"First, I like Tingting, but I also like Fang Hui quite a bit. Second, if I choose Tingting and Fang Hui really gets along with Chen Xun, how should you face him?"
"If he dares, I'll beat him to death."
"He didn't even go to Qingbei. He deliberately got low scores and went to Fang Hui's university. Do you think you can convince him?"
Old Tang stopped talking and took a big gulp of wine into his mouth.
Lin Yue said: "I really don't know how to choose."
"So you lied to her about going abroad?"
Lin Yue nodded: "I think if you wait, time will change some things and heal many wounds, allowing people to know what they want."
"You're hurting her."
"What else? Hurt you? Do you think I feel better? If I feel better, I won't go see her today." Lin Yue drank all the wine in the bottle, stood up and walked outside: "Don't tell her today What happened.”
Old Tang stood up and watched his retreating back without moving.
After a long while, he looked up at the mood lights on the ceiling and sighed heavily.
It is difficult for an upright official to take care of household affairs, and it is difficult for gods to take care of emotional affairs.
Just knowing about this incident made him feel very embarrassed to be caught in the middle. One can imagine how much pressure the person involved was under.
…
Winter passes and spring comes.
The new semester has begun.
On the stairs, by the playground, in front of the gate... there are students dragging suitcases.
Lin Jiamo walked forward along the shoulder stones at the edge of the long road like a naughty child.
"You actually took the initiative to invite me to play here, saying, is it because the winter vacation is long and you miss me?"
Lin Yue said: "Don't be so sentimental, okay?"
"Then I'll go back." Lin Jiamo stared at him.
"Well, be careful on the road."
"Lin Yue, you are so boring." She pouted her cheeks and looked angry.
"Give."
She looked back and saw that Lin Yue had a red cloth bag embroidered with the word "福" in his hand, with long tassels underneath.
"what?"
"I went to Mount Tai to pray for blessings during the Chinese New Year. I prayed for you in the temple."
"Lin Yue, do you believe this too?" Lin Jiamo laughed.
"No? You don't want me to send it to others."
"Yes, of course."
She quickly snatched it away: "What's inside?"
"I don't know about the spice bar. I haven't opened it yet." Lin Yue slowed down and moved his eyes to the open space in front of the complex.
Lin Jiamo played with it for a while, feeling that the atmosphere was a little strange, and followed his gaze.
