Chapter 3 Time knows nothing about wind and rain 04
Ning Qiyuan went out before me, walking very slowly, as if he was waiting for me. His figure bathed in the dim street lights gave a very unreal feeling.
I was afraid that the scene before my eyes was fake, so I quickly chased after him. The closer I got to him, the faster my heart beat.
"Ning Qiyuan."
In the past two years, I have silently recited his name many times in my heart, but when I called it out this moment, my voice trembled uncontrollably. I have many questions to ask him, but I don't know how to start. Maybe this is what the book says: "Homesickness".
"I haven't seen you for two years. Why haven't you grown taller? You walk so slowly." Ning Qiyuan stopped and a voice came from the front.
He is still the same.
When he talks to me, he is always so rude.
I trotted after him, and just as I was about to speak, I heard him say, "Tong Shuchen, why are you here?"
I thought he was asking how I got to his house, so I told him the truth. But right after I finished, Ning Qiyuan asked me again, "Why are you here?"
I was stunned, not understanding why he asked this question when I had already answered it. I frowned and looked at his profile which was even more handsome than before. After thinking for a long time, I finally figured out what he was asking.
He was asking me why I was in Li City.
Of course... because of him.
Because I wanted to come here to look for him.
"Forget it, there's no point in talking about this now." Ning Qiyuan didn't wait for my answer, his voice became a little cold and hard, "Don't come again tomorrow, just pretend you've never seen me."
"What did you say?" I stopped in surprise, wondering if I had heard it wrong.
"You haven't seen me today, and I haven't seen you." Ning Qiyuan repeated. He looked at me with his dark eyes, as if he was looking at a stranger.
"Ning Qiyuan, what do you mean?" I was inexplicably angry and didn't understand why he suddenly said such a thing. Did he want to be a stranger to me from now on?
"It means literally." Ning Qiyuan didn't bother to explain too much to me.
"Ning Qiyuan, you left without a word two years ago. Do you know how long I have been looking for you? And do you know how much energy and time my dad and I have spent looking for you? Because you said you wanted to come to Li City, so I carried that one in ten thousand hope and did not go to the school I wanted to go to the most. Instead, I came here just to find you." I approached him, my eyes burning, very excited, "It's been two years, my dad and I were about to give up the search, but at this time, you showed up, do you know how happy I am? I have a lot of things to say to you, a lot of things I want to ask you, but you made me pretend that I had never seen you, Ning Qiyuan , how could you do this? How can you be so cold-blooded?"
Ning Qiyuan laughed at himself and looked at me: "It's not the first day you know that I'm cold-blooded."
"Ning Qiyuan!" I shouted his name loudly, my body was shaking with anger, tears were welling up in my eyes, and I didn't know why I wanted to cry so much.
I guess it’s probably because it’s not worth it?
It’s not worth coming to , it’s not worth keeping him in your heart day and night, and never forgetting to look for him.
"Do you know that there was a period of time when dad and I couldn't find you, and we were afraid that something had happened to you. Every day we watched the news about accidents. When we found out those people were not you, we were relieved. But soon, our hearts were lifted up again, just because we had no news from you and couldn't find you. When you left, there was no sign, you didn't take anything with you, and you never called us. We didn't know where you were, where you would go, or whether you were safe. It was also the first time I realized that the world is so big and it can be so difficult to find someone." I tried hard to hold back my tears. I couldn't let myself cry in front of him. This was my only remaining pride.
At this moment, Ning Qiyuan suddenly covered my eyes with his hands. Everything in front of my eyes was dark, and I could only feel the slightly warm temperature in his palms. My emotions miraculously calmed down.
"Tong Shuchen, don't look at me like that." Ning Qiyuan's voice was deeper than ever before, "Don't make me feel guilty. Someone like me can't bear your kindness."
"You should have remembered that two years ago, I almost killed your father and made you an orphan like me. You should hate me."
"Shouldn't you be more comfortable without me these past two years?"
"So, don't come looking for me. Just pretend that I don't exist in this world."
How could he say it so easily?
I did hate him. I hated him for hurting my father who loved him like a son. I hated him for acting recklessly and for never considering others and ignoring other people's feelings. However, as time went by, I wanted to find him and get him back more than hating him.
I laughed a few times and pried his fingers apart with my hands. The light returned to my eyes, and the stubbornness in my bones prevented me from backing down: "Ning Qiyuan, this world does not revolve around you, and you don't have the final say. You want me to pretend I didn't see you, but I can't do it." As I said that , I took out my cell phone, dialed up my dad's number, and prepared to call him. If he knew that I found Ning Qiyuan, he would be very happy.
But Ning Qiyuan seemed to have guessed what I was going to do. He raised his hand and snatched my phone. He used his height advantage to hold the phone high. He lowered his eyes and looked at me. His voice was colder than the night: "If you don't want your phone to be broken by me, just promise me."
He is still like this!
No matter it was two years ago or two years later, he would always choose this way to make people surrender.
"Okay, just fall." I replied unwillingly.
However, I waited for a long time, but Ning Qiyuan's hands didn't move at all. We just stayed in a silent stalemate, no one moved, as if we were competing to see who could last longer, until my cell phone suddenly rang.
Ning Qiyuan took it in his hand and saw that it was an unfamiliar number, so he threw the phone into my arms.
I hurriedly caught the phone to prevent it from falling to the ground, and quickly answered the call. I didn't know the caller, and his voice was unfamiliar, but after listening to what he said, I felt as if the blood in my body was about to stop flowing. After a while, I hung up the phone and looked at Ning Qiyuan as if he was looking for a life-saving driftwood: "My dad is in trouble, will you go back with me to see him?"
