Chapter 5: To You Who Comes Here at Will
Some people come with the rising sun, some people leave with the moonlight, but you are in my heart, never leaving.
Some people come with the rising sun, some people leave with the moonlight, but you are in my heart, never leaving.
People will meet many people in their life, most are just passers-by, but Yu Qianlin to Wen Shu, is the one who lives in his heart.
She would think of him and learn to forget him, but he still stubbornly lingered in her heart, like an incurable disease.
When he met Yu Qianlin again, Wen Shu's heart trembled, like a long-dried wasteland that suddenly received a rain, and the flowers and grass all grew out, full of vitality.
I hailed a taxi, reviewed the address, and closed my eyes for a nap.
Suddenly, the phone in her bag started to buzz. She looked and saw it was Yu Qianlin. When , Yu Qianlin grabbed her phone and quickly exchanged their contact information. When he handed the phone back to her, he reminded her, "You must reply to my messages and calls immediately!" There was a subtle uneasiness in his tone.
Wen Shu's heart tightened and he was silent for a while before he answered with a word "good".
Seeing that he called again not long after they separated, Wen Shu was a little curious and answered the phone: "Hello?"
"Review your lessons!" he said a little anxiously.
"Anything else?"
Yu Qianlin took a deep breath and declared, "I'm warning you! If you disappear again, I will hunt you down to the ends of the earth!"
"Puchi!" Wen Shu couldn't help laughing out loud, and then it was as if his laugh point was hit, he laughed so hard that his body shook and tears came out of his eyes.
"Hey, what are you laughing at!" Yu Qianlin didn't understand what was wrong with this woman.
Wen Shu stopped laughing and sniffed back, "I promise you, I will never run away again!"
Yu Qianlin asked: "Hey, are you crying?"
Wen Shu was half crying and half laughing, but his voice was full of joy.
She said, "Yes, I cried, it's all your fault."
"Don't cry!"
Even through the screen, one could feel Yu Qianlin's helplessness. Six years ago, even crying seemed a luxury to her, but six years later, she unscrupulously exposed her vulnerability in front of him.
She cried because she felt guilty for making him so insecure, and she laughed because after six years, he was still there.
In the past years, in Wen Shu's works, the male protagonists are usually sunny and kind, just like Yu Qianlin in those days. Although the female protagonists have changeable personalities, careful readers can always find that they all have some inferiority complex and some unknown little secrets. As many people asked, she simply posted a Weibo, saying that this is her secret that cannot be told, and stopped replying, leaving readers to guess wildly.
When he is free, he will read his own works, as if reviewing, or more like missing, missing the young boy whom he treasured in his memory, and missing the time that can never be recovered.
Sometimes she would wonder whether Yu Qianlin tried desperately to find her or just forgot about her after she left without saying goodbye.
As she thought about it more and more, she slowly suggested to herself that someone like Yu Qianlin would forget her completely after being angry for a few days, and she should completely delete all the memories about her like clearing garbage from a computer. This thought was like a thousand-pound stone, suppressing her fantasies mercilessly when she had some beautiful fantasies. Gradually, she had fewer fantasies.
Lu Sining asked her if she wanted to go back and take a look, but she shook her head silently. She didn't dare to admit it. She was afraid to face the ending that she had imagined countless times.
But now, Yu Qianlin suddenly came back into her life, and all her defenses collapsed in an instant, and many small buds of hope sprouted. She was surprised to find that everything seemed to be much more optimistic and beautiful than she had imagined.
After taking a few deep breaths, Wen Shu calmed down and said, "Just kidding, I'm fine. If you're okay, I'll hang up first?"
"Yeah, okay."
The appearance of Yu Qianlin was like turning on a switch that triggered my memory, and everything that had happened in the past six years came flooding back.
Back then, Lu Sining was so fragile that Wen Shu thought she would follow Wen Yan in the next second. Wen Shu immediately decided to take Lu Sining away, leaving this place that had caused the mother and daughter so much sadness.
When they first arrived in Xuancheng, they had a hard time. Wen Shu had to look for a job every day in addition to taking care of Lu Sining. Lu Sining was sick all the time and could not help her daughter at all. She was also immersed in the sadness of Wen Yan's death and could not extricate herself.
Deng Wenshu finally found a proofreading job at a magazine, but she fell ill again. In order not to affect her new job, she didn't even dare to take cold medicine, for fear that she would fall asleep after taking it. As a result, she fainted at the door of her house while going to work early one morning. When she woke up, her first reaction was that it was bad! As a result, the haggard Lu Sining twisted a towel to help her wipe her face and told her that he had asked for leave for her.
Wen Shu was so shocked that she couldn't speak. This was the first sentence Lu Sining had said to her in several months! Lu Sining looked at her tired-looking daughter and felt very regretful for her avoidance in the past few months.
Looking at his mother confessing to him with tears in her eyes, Wen Shu said nothing. He just hugged her tightly and let his tears flow away quietly.
After that, Lu Sining worked hard to recover. When Wen Shu came home from work, he could smell the fragrance of the food cooked by his mother. When she was completely well, Lu Sining, despite Wen Shu's dissuasion, found a cleaning job in the community where she lived. The mother and daughter lived an ordinary life with a meager salary, but they experienced the taste of happiness.
Wen Shu would sometimes think of Yu Qianlin, and when she thought of the past, her heart would still ache, but she had learned to ignore these feelings.
In the second year after arriving in Xuancheng, Wen Shu resumed her old job, bought equipment, and started updating comic strips online. To her surprise, her college Tieba fans had the ability to find her Weibo and welcomed her return with joy. Wen Shu was so moved that she thanked her fans one by one and continued to tell the unfinished story.
At that time, the Internet was already a very mature platform. Wen Shu's painting skills were solid, her stories were interesting, and with the support of her fans, she gradually became popular on the Internet. Every day there were always fans clamoring for her to update her works.
In the third year, after Wen Shu finished updating her comics as usual, she suddenly received a private message on Weibo. When she clicked on it, she found that it was an invitation to publish a comic. It was also through this message that she got to know the gentle and respectful Qi Qianchen. The two of them worked together perfectly and published several excellent comics in the past few years. Wen Shu became a popular cartoonist on the Internet.
There may have been storms, but the canoe of life finally began to move forward steadily. Only occasionally she couldn't help but imagine whether there was someone somewhere at this moment who was missing the other person as much as she was.
When Wen Shu returned to Qi Qianchen's studio, everyone stared at her. Qi Qianchen was waiting at the door of the studio. Wen Shu was surprised. Qi Qianchen walked directly to her, handed her the phone, and opened the video.
The video happened to show the scene where Yu Qianlin rescued Wen Shu from the siege of the crowd . Watching his own video from the perspective of a spectator, Wen Shu's feelings were hard to describe.
Ah! She was so embarrassed at that time! But... Yu Qianlin looked really good like this...
Wen Shu's eyes were unconsciously attracted by Yu Qianlin's handsome figure. She licked her dry lips and realized belatedly that her focus seemed to have strayed again. After the video ended, she returned the phone to Qi Qianchen embarrassedly.
Qi Qianchen took the phone and asked in a bad tone: "Is it beautiful?"
"What?"
Qi Qianchen said unhappily: "Netizens also think it's good-looking, it's even on the trending searches!"
"No way?" Wen Shu didn't believe it. "Who am I to be on the trending search list?"
"Really?" Qi Qianchen found a nearby office chair and sat down, resting his hands on the chair handles. He said to a girl beside him, "Xiao Chen, explain to our great master Lin Qianshu who she is."
The girl called Xiao Chen walked up to Wen Shu smartly and said, "Okay! Mr. Lin Qianshu, you have 2.2 million followers on Weibo. The comic books he publishes have always been at the top of the sales charts. Every time he updates a new comic on Weibo, there are over 10,000 reposts. He is known as the 'most promising cartoonist' in the industry. That's it!" After saying that, she took a step back and stood back in her original position.
Lin Qianshu, also known as Wen Shu, was a little embarrassed. She touched her nose and laughed dryly, "Haha, I never thought that I would be on the hot search list in my lifetime."
Qi Qianchen snorted coldly, then stood up: "Wen Shu, come to my office with me."
"Oh." Wen Shu followed Qi Qianchen closely. When she passed by Xiao Chen, she saw Xiao Chen deliberately clenching his fist to cheer her on. She rolled her eyes silently. Could she be more gloating?
Arriving at Qi Qianchen's office, Wen Shu found a place to sit down while looking at Qi Qianchen sitting down. "You called me here specially. Is the matter serious?"
"It's not serious, but it's a bit troublesome. You know, there are many idle people with bad intentions on the Internet now, who stare at others every day, afraid that they will make mistakes. As soon as your video was uploaded, some people guided public opinion, saying that you were crazy about fame, and some even said that you directed and acted in this incident yourself."
"What should we do?" Wen Shu frowned. She knew the power of online public opinion. Once, an artist was forced to quit the circle because of a wrong remark. Those people would not care whether others had their own reasons or not. Once they got a hold of something, they would bite it like crazy. This group of people are like Internet termites, penetrating every hole.
Qi Qianchen thought for a moment and said to Wen Shu, "Well, you have an important manuscript to finish next. Leave your phone with me and cut off contact with the outside world for the time being. It's best not to use the internet at home, lest you get affected by all that messy news."
Wen Shu was shocked: "Does it need to be so serious?" She had never exposed her real photos on social media or held any book signings before because she was afraid of trouble.
Qi Qianchen asked back: "What do you think?"
"Okay." She took out her cell phone, handed it to Qi Qianchen slowly, and watched him put it into his pocket.
"Why, so sad?"
"No." She was worried that Yu Qianlin would call.
Qi Qianchen said with an unclear expression: "Is it because of that man?"
Wen Shu immediately looked up at him.
Qi Qianchen stood up and walked closer to her: "He is your ex-boyfriend?"
Wen Shu was a little unhappy. She walked away and said stiffly, "He is just an old classmate of mine. Editor-in-Chief Qi, if there is nothing else, I will leave first."
Wen Shu, whose phone was taken away, didn't think anything of it at first. When he was almost home, he suddenly remembered that he had just promised Yu Qianlin not to lose contact, but he was about to break his promise.
Yu Qianlin's cold eyes flashed before his eyes, and Wen Shu shu shuddered. Forget it, he'll explain it after he gets the phone back.
On the other hand, Qi Qianchen, who had taken Wen Shu's phone, was actually a little confused about his own thoughts. Was it really as he said, in order not to affect Wen Shu's drawings, or was it because he didn't want Wen Shu to contact that man again...
He opened the video again with some annoyance and stared at Yu Qianlin.
Two years ago, when he discovered Wen Shu, he knew she would be famous one day. And this girl has always been quiet, not arrogant or impatient, only focusing on her drawings, and trusting him wholeheartedly.
He knew that he had some unusual feelings for Wen Shu, but she never really cared about it.
Now, a man appeared out of nowhere and instantly attracted her attention, even making her resist him from the bottom of her heart.
His gaze once again fixed on Yu Qianlin's face.
What magic does this man have?
After Yu Qianlin and Wen Shu separated, they went straight back to Xincheng.
After graduation, Yu Qianlin joined the Xincheng Criminal Police Team directly. He was a righteous man with outstanding work performance. After participating in the solving of several important cases and making great contributions, he was noticed and cultivated by the leaders. He was also very popular with his colleagues. It can be said that he was very successful in his career.
He never gave up looking for his studies. Whenever he went to a place on business , he would walk through the local streets and alleys when he was not busy, and would leave photos of his studies and ask local colleagues to keep an eye out for them.
Everyone around him said that Yu Qianlin was extremely outstanding and wanted to introduce him to someone, but Yu Qianlin refused every time. Over time, everyone knew that he actually had that person in his heart.
Every time he went back to Ancheng, Yu Qianlin would stay for a long time in the places where they had left traces. He always thought that maybe Wen Shu had never left Ancheng, and maybe one day, in a place they were familiar with, he would meet her again.
But six years passed and he got nothing.
I didn't expect that this business trip would bring such a pleasant surprise.
As soon as he sat down at his seat, a colleague came over with an apologetic look on his face and sat next to Yu Qianlin, "Qianlin, I'm sorry, there's no news yet about the person you asked me to find for you last time."
Yu Qianlin smiled comfortably: "Brother Zhou, you don't have to help me find it anymore."
"Why..." The man asked in confusion, and suddenly he realized something, and slapped the table, "You found it!"
Yu Qianlin nodded with a smile, "Yes, I found it."
"Oh, this is such a happy event!" This honest middle-aged balding man is called Zhou Qi. He knows that the younger generation he likes has been looking for someone, and he never hesitates to help as long as he can.
"Brother Zhou, I have to thank you. If you hadn't given me this case, I might not have found her."
"Hey, these are all small things, small things."
Yu Qianlin promised: "I'll treat you to meat next time!"
Zhou Qi didn't have any other hobbies except eating meat. He chuckled and said, "Okay! I just like cute guys like you!" Yu Qianlin's forehead twitched when he was praised as "cute". He stopped talking and turned to work.
Yu Qianlin received countless calls in the morning, either urging him to investigate the scene or to write a case report, but he didn't receive a single word from Wen Shu, which made him a little angry. But then he thought, isn't Wen Shu such a slow-tempered person? But he couldn't stop. After all, he had been pursuing her for six years, so why would he care about this one more time?
Thinking of this , Yu Qianlin suddenly felt enlightened. He took out his cell phone and prepared to send a message to Wen Shu, but was intercepted by an uninvited guest.
"Hello! Yu Qianlin, have you found Xiaoshu?" The person on the other end of the phone was Xu Xia Xia, who was so excited that she almost jumped up. She had just seen a video of the two of them holding hands when she was browsing Weibo.
Yu Qianlin moved the phone away and said disdainfully, "I'm not deaf! But how did you know about this?"
"Hmph! With Weibo in hand, the world is mine!" Xu Xia Xia said excitedly, "Tell me where she lives? I want to go find her!" She had long been accustomed to Yu Qianlin's indifference to her, and now she just wanted to see Wen Shu as soon as possible!
Yu Qianlin was fine when he was studying, but after he left to review his studies, he suddenly became like a different person, becoming difficult to approach and not as likable as before!
"Wait, what Weibo are you talking about?"
"Wait a minute, I'll send it to you."
With a "ding" sound, Yu Qianlin's WeChat received a Weibo share.
When he clicked on it, it turned out to be the video of him pulling Wen Shu out of the crowd at the square that day. When he saw Wen Shu looking at him with a panicked and surprised look in the video, the corners of his lips curled up unconsciously.
Xu Xiaxia on the other end of the phone saw that Yu Qianlin was silent, and knew that he was busy watching the video. She said in a very considerate way: "Friendly reminder, the comments are not very good, but you can take this opportunity to get closer to each other after six years of separation."
Upon hearing this, Yu Qianlin immediately clicked on the comments. After just reading two of them, his brows were tightly locked.
"Also, I've seen a lot of rumors about Wen Shu and her big editor on the Internet. She's been by my side for the past few years, so if you don't hurry up, it will be too late to regret it!"
"I see."
Wen Shu left without telling anyone. He cancelled his registration and dropped out of school. He disappeared completely. Except for the memory that could not be erased, no other traces of Wen Shu existed. Yu Qianlin was absent from Wen Shu for six years, and he didn't know how to make up for it, which made him panic.
Yu Qianlin hung up the phone, scrolled through some more comments, and slammed the table in anger, leaving the people around him confused.
Without thinking any more, Yu Qianlin directly dialed Wen Shu's number, but the other end only heard a busy tone. He dialed again, but it was still busy.
Yu Qianlin clenched his cell phone tightly, his face showing an expression of impending storm, as if dark clouds were gathering.
Wen Shu, don’t let me catch you!
A few minutes later, Grandpa Yu called to ask about the routine.
As soon as Yu Qianlin opened his mouth, Grandpa Yu asked, "What's wrong? Are you worried about something?"
Yu Qianlin answered the question irrelevantly: "Grandpa, I found Wen Shu."
When Grandpa Yu heard this, his voice became louder: "This is a good thing!"
"But... I can't find her again." Yu Qianlin now feels very regretful. Why did he let Wen Shu be taken away by a phone call that day? Why didn't he go home with her?
After listening to Yu Qianlin's story, Grandpa said, "Maybe something delayed him. You are usually very calm, but when it comes to reviewing your lessons, you become so irritable, like a child who has not grown up, worried about gains and losses. Can you show your demeanor as a people's policeman?"
Yu Qianlin's ears turned slightly red when he heard his grandfather's words. Old ginger is still spicy, and his grandfather's words really hit the nail on the head.
Finally, the old man said, "My dear boy, I know it has not been easy for you these years. Grandpa always hopes that you can live a good life."
"I know, Grandpa."
Over the years, Grandpa Yu has always been worried about his grandson. He is afraid that he will get hurt while on missions, and he is also afraid that he will be too obsessed with reviewing his lessons.
Now that he has found the book, he can finally feel a little relieved!
