Volume 1 Chapter 13 Reality
We sat by the lake in the park, looking at the three or five small boats rowing in the lake, each of us had our own thoughts, and no one said a word.
The first time I met her was in the lake.
At that time, I had just recovered and found a job. I went to the park with two comrades. We happened to see two girls rowing in the lake and accidentally fell into the water. We jumped in without even taking off our clothes. In the end, I held her out of the water and won her heart. We exchanged phone numbers at that time, and kept in touch. After a few times, we became good friends.
We were together for less than half a year. I only knew that her father was a high-ranking official, but I had no idea what he did . Because her family unanimously opposed my relationship with her. She graduated from a prestigious university and came from a high-ranking official family. I was a poor soldier, so we were not a good match. Therefore, I never had the opportunity to meet her parents.
After sitting for a long time, she was the first to ask about my recent situation. I smiled and said, there is nothing to say, I live every day in the shop passed down from my ancestors, and I don’t even have a wife. I then asked her how she has been doing in the past three years, and of course what I was most concerned about was whether she was married.
There was a hint of sadness in her eyes, but a smile on her lips. She told me that she had been lying at home for the past three years. Since returning to the provincial capital, she felt depressed and gradually felt unwell. The hospital could not find anything wrong with her. She just felt weak all over and was too lazy to talk to people. She lay at home for three years. Until yesterday, her aunt who lived in Beijing called and said she missed her very much and wanted her to stay for a few days. Her parents also hoped that she would go out to relax and maybe her illness would heal naturally.
Her parents were very busy and couldn't spare time to accompany her, so they asked her cousin to go to Beijing with her. As a result, when she met me just now, she couldn't come over by herself, leaving her cousin alone at the train station.
I slapped my head and said, "Oh, what time is the train?"
Yaxue shook her head and smiled, "It's already half an hour past. My cousin is very fierce, I guess she will scold me again."
I quickly apologized, it was all my fault that she missed the train. But I was very happy, especially when I heard that she was still unmarried, I was extremely excited. I was not worried about her illness at all, probably because she was depressed after breaking up with me. Meeting her today, does it mean that we can start over again?
Yaxue held my arm, rested her head on my shoulder, and sighed softly: "It would have been great if you had chased me back three years ago and apologized like this." She started crying as she spoke, and the crystal tears cut through her fair face, making me feel sad.
I stroked her hair and said guiltily, "I'm sorry."
The more I apologized, the more sad she cried, leaving me at a loss. After a while, she stopped crying, raised her head to wipe away her tears, and asked me why I came to the provincial capital. I never lied to her, but I couldn't tell her that I was escorting a female police officer because of a ghost story. I had to make up a lie that my shop had just made a black pearl and I went to the provincial capital to sell it.
When she heard this, she opened her eyes wide in shock. I asked her what happened. She said that because of the black pearl, several antique dealers were killed. It was a big news in the provincial capital. It was said that after they died, all the blood in their bodies was sucked out, leaving no brain marrow at all. It was very scary. Some people said that it was an evil ghost who killed them. At night, many people dared not go out.
I thought to myself that it was because of this case that I was involved, but I didn't dare to tell you. This incident was too depressing, so I changed the subject and talked about something lighthearted, including our happy memories in the past. In this way, I sat by the lake until dark without realizing it. I was in a state of discomfort from drinking yesterday, but now I feel relaxed all over, which is better than taking a shot of chicken blood.
She was going back home, but she missed the train and her cell phone was left in her cousin's luggage. If she didn't go home, her family would report her to the police. I said I would take her home , and she readily agreed. When we were together before, she always refused to let me take her home, fearing that my parents would bump into her at the door and I would be scolded.
On the way to the taxi, I was still fantasizing about starting over with her, feeling excited and thrilled. I have been a virgin for the past three years, not because no one wanted me, but because I have always had Yaxue in my heart, and I have always been repelled by any other woman. I finally got back to the time three years ago, how can I not be happy?
But when I sent her to the door of her house, looking at the villa in front of me, my heart cooled down and I returned to reality. If Yaxue's parents agreed with their daughter's choice, they would not have watched their daughter suffer from the torture of missing her for three years. They would have let her come to Shangcheng Town to find me. We are not from the same world. I am a toad and Yaxue is a noble princess. We are not a match at all.
"Thank you for sending me back." She said this lightly when she entered the gate, and her expression was also very wooden. My dream was completely shattered. This sentence was the same tone as when she said goodbye three years ago.
I watched her walk into the rose garden, feeling very sad, and suddenly called out, "Yaxue!"
She stopped with a shudder, turned around and looked at me indifferently.
"It's okay, the roses in your house are blooming beautifully." I covered it up with a wry smile and turned away.
When your joy vanishes, the disparity between heaven and earth is indescribable. Your heart is twisted into a knot, and you don't know whether it is pain or discomfort. Anyway, your mind is in a fuzzy state, and the alcohol from yesterday has come back. You walk forward in a daze, not knowing where to go.
Suddenly, amidst a fierce horn sound and a sudden brake sound, I felt something hit me and flew away. Fortunately, I reacted very quickly and followed the force of the collision. I rushed forward and flew more than ten meters. My chest slid forward for a long distance, completely relieving the strong impact force before I stopped.
I stood up quickly and looked back. A car was parked more than 20 meters away. I was hit by it. But the car hood was hit by a refrigerator and collapsed deeply inside. The driver was leaning out of the window and looking up at the sky, with a look of panic on his face.
My god, looking at this situation, if the car hadn't knocked me away, this refrigerator would have hit me on the head. Who is so mean to throw a refrigerator down for no reason? Do they have money to support themselves? I looked up and saw a window open on a high-rise residential building on the side of the road. A dark figure was looking down.
The light from the street lamp was very weak when reflected at a certain height, and I could only vaguely see that it was a woman.
The driver cursed and took out a flashlight to shine on me, so I could see the woman's face clearly. Damn it, it was the living corpse that had been following us all the way! She ignored the driver's abuse and threats, and just stared at me with cold eyes. After a few seconds, she retracted her head and disappeared.
