It was three days later when Jane Mo returned from the field. Zhong Yu knew about her trip and drove to the school in the afternoon to pick her up. At that time, Professor Ji was also there. Seeing him Zhong Yu did not hide surprise. Zhong Yu greatly held Jane Mo’s hand and greeted him.
“I said it.” He had an expression that turned out to be so.
“Mr. Ji, I will definitely pay a visit some other day.” He said.
Ji Bai nodded with a smile.
Jian Mo’s expression was indifferent, her face was a bit paler than usual, Zhong Yu sidestepped his face and only saw her slightly drooping side face, her soft lines carrying a few tired colors.
To be the crowd left, Jane Mo bit by bit to draw back her hand, looked up at him, she suddenly some confusion, her eyes have a few hazy, lightly move the corner of the lips, “I still have some information to organize, the night …… to live in the school.”
Zhong Yu looked at her, her light eyes suddenly bright and dark, at that moment he had a kind of unspecified sentiment surged to his heart, “These days running outside is not tired, go home to wash, first sleep, the information tomorrow and then get.”
Said lifting her package to the trunk. Jane Mo’s eyebrows knit for a moment, a flash.
Back in the apartment, Jane Mo carried the package and went to the study, opened the computer and organized the data. Zhong Yu said a few words, she just said faintly, “There’s still a little more.”
In the end, Zhong Yu also felt her change, his hand wrapped around her shoulders, and Jian Mo immediately cowered for a moment, then stood up, “After sitting for so long, I’ll go wash my face.”
Zhong Yu narrowed his eyes and looked at her back, pondering.
When Jian Mo came out, Zhong Yu was sitting at the computer desk, she glanced at it and retreated back to the living room. She half leaned on the sofa, her eyes unfocused looking at the crystal chandelier in the center, watching in silence, slowly falling into sleep.
Zhong Yu waited for half a day and didn’t see her come back, as soon as he came out, he saw her leaning on the sofa asleep. He softly walked over, the orange light hit her face, indescribable warmth.
He saw her eyebrows slightly knit, inwardly sighed lightly, just as he reached out and touched her body, Jane Mo seemed to be startled by something, immediately stepped back, the defense in her eyes for a moment without hiding in front of Zhong Yu.
“What’s wrong?” Zhong Yu’s eyes fell on her face.
Jian Mo swallowed her throat, “Nothing.” She scratched her hair, “Just had a dream.”
Zhong Yu saw two band-aids on the left index finger of her hand and reached for her hand, “How did you get it?”
Jane Mo wanted to pull out her hand, but he acted like he knew it with no intention of letting go, she pulled a smile at him, “Nothing, accidentally scratched it.”
Zhong Yu tore open the
mouth sticker and frowned, “How did you scratch it?” The wound hadn’t scabbed over yet.
“It will be fine in a couple days.” She said faintly, “You don’t use the computer, do you? I still have a few data to organize.” Jane Mo got up.
“Jian Mo, did something happen?” He asked.
Jane Mo’s back stiffened slightly, her heart was desolate, her eyes were like stained onions, spicy pain, “Which is nothing, you rest early.”
Zhong Yu knew that something must have happened, just before he could figure it out. The next day, when he came back, he found that all of Jane Mo’s things had been moved. Not a single piece was left behind, and originally she didn’t have much.
Zhong Yu sat in the gloom, not saying a word. After a long time, the doorbell rang. He stood up almost conditionally, and the moment he opened the door, his face immediately sank.
“Mr. Zhong, your delivery.”
Zhong Yu took it, he had never received any express delivery. He vaguely guessed something, opened the box, inside was a key. The rest was nothing, clean.
Jian Mo was gone, leaving nothing behind.
He played with the key, thought for a long time, but still called a phone over, after a long time the phone is connected, “What’s the matter?” A direct and distant voice.
“Jane Mo-” he called her name, “Can you explain?”
Jane Mo closed her eyes and rubbed her temples with one hand, unable to stop the sourness in her heart, “Zhong Yu, I heard your words on the phone the other day.” She said it very softly and slowly, every word knocked deeply into Zhong Yu’s heart, Zhong Yu was stunned.
It took a long time for Jane Mo to be convinced that those that were not her hallucinations. Throughout the night, she sat there with her eyes open.
A moment of silence.
“Bye.” She fell hang up the phone, she was calm, from the beginning to the end, just buried the heart that heartache.
In November, the University of C held a large job fair, Jane Mo since she decided to give up graduate school, also began to submit resumes. The internship school intends to keep her as a teacher, she considered, or did not agree.
That day Zhong Yu also happened to come to the University of C to do business, in fact, there is no need for him to come personally.
Jane Mo and her roommate wandered around the venue, was scared by the situation first out of the neighboring universities students have come, full of people.
She was a little dizzy and sat on a wooden chair by the lake to rest. Yang Liu was determined to go to graduate school, after watching this interview, she said thankfully, “Fortunately, I’m going to graduate school, I can still take a breather.”
Jian Mo exhaled and pressed down the suffocation in her chest, “Forget it, I’ll go back in and take a look at the
it. You go to the library to read.”
Yang Liu nodded, “Okay then, good luck.”
Jian Mo squeezed around, and really didn’t see any jobs that matched her major, she silently sighed and couldn’t help but sigh that her aunt still had foresight. The accounting major over there was still really popular.
Failing to return, she went up the rotating staircase, and when she climbed to the third floor, a line of people in front of her came towards her side. Jian Mo squinted and then turned her eyes away.
Zhong Yu also saw her, and his heart moved slightly. She walked past them with her head lowered, his eyes glued to her figure.
Jian Mo had been a little uncomfortable for the past few days, and after seeing Zhong Yu, even though she didn’t show anything on her face, her heart was still hard. A gap left over from her gray high school years had finally come to an end, but it hurt so much.
She absentmindedly walked towards the school, the autumn wind swept by from time to time, the sycamore leaves drifted down with the wind. From summer to fall is so fast, things are different but that’s just the way it is.
“Make way-” a sharp sound. Before Jian Mo could react, a sudden force pulled her from the right rear, and in an instant a bicycle passed in front of her.
She exhaled narrowly, just wanting to turn her face to say thank you, those two words stuck in her throat and couldn’t speak.
Zhong Yu let go of her hand and bent down to pick up the resume that Jane Mo dropped on the ground, he was slightly stunned, “Not going to graduate school?”
Jane Mo pulled it from his hands and turned around to walk forward. It was even harder for her at this moment.
Zhong Yu followed up, and Jane Mo stopped in annoyance, unable to help but frown tightly, “Zhong Yu, count on me to beg you, okay, you go.” Her voice was dry and feeble.
Zhong Yu gazed at her pale face, “Not feeling well?”
Jian Mo waved her hand in annoyance and looked squarely into his eyes, “You’ve also won your bet, you don’t need to act anymore.” She forced herself to hold back the sourness in her heart, and finally vomited in a mouthful towards the flowerbed with a “wow” sound. The first step is to add more.
Zhong Yu stood stiffly at one side, his complexion deep, his heart tossing and turning in the sea. Jane Mo seems to have emptied the stomach, stood up in the morning and wiped the corners of her mouth with a tissue, her eyes red, she exhaled loudly.
“You didn’t take your medicine that day?” Each of his words weighed heavily.
Jane Mo’s heartstrings trembled violently, she desperately tried to hold back the anger she felt from slapping him, “Don’t worry, I’m not pregnant.” She tried her best to calm down, her eyes were clear and cold as she looked at him, “You don’t believe me?”
Zhong Yu pursed his lips.
Jian Mo snorted, “You’re afraid that I’ll use the child to blackmail you?” After a pause, “Zhong Yu-” she called his name, “There is no child, my period just came yesterday.”
Under the harsh sunlight, her expression mocked, “Even if there is, what reason do you want me to stay?”
She turned around, her stomach twisting with a gust of pain.
Zhong Yu watched her slowly walk towards the prescription in front of her, he was slightly out of his mind.
Jane Mo bought some stomach pills, she had acute gastritis in high school at that time, vomiting and regurgitating had before.
When she came out of the pharmacy with the medicine, Zhong Yu had already disappeared. Jane Mo returned to the dormitory, the lower abdomen has been abdominal pain, fortunately, Yang Liu came back early, sent her to the hospital. Many years later, she remembered that day to Yang Liu are grateful. Even if they are separated for many years without a little communication, but also can not break the friendship between the two.
Zhong Yu still found out the medicine that Jian Mo bought, all stomach pills, his heart mixed feelings. He is not without thought if Jane Mo really have a child she and he will be what?
Just life never if.
After that, he and she never met again. Later, he overheard Prof. Ji say that she had gone to the north to work. It was as if a long time had passed between them, so long that it had been peaceful.
No one ever mentioned Jane Mo’s name again, and the name disappeared as quietly as it did in his senior year of high school.
Five years later.
“Bureau Zhong, I toast to you, please teach me more in the future.” Ning Qingyuan raised his cup.
“Where, Mr. Ning is polite.”
The two equally outstanding men, sitting together, were no match for each other.
During the meal, Ning Qingyuan’s people and the people from the city government had a great conversation, and another big taxpayer in C City was about to be born in the near future.
At the end of the meal, Ning Qingyuan and Zhong Yu walked in front of them, walking with a smooth gait and talking on point.
The group bid farewell at the entrance of the hall.
Ning Qingyuan extended his hand, “Bureau Zhong, we’ll get together again sometime.”
Zhong Yu reached out to shake his hand.
The brightly lit hall, sparse pedestrians, quiet and empty. At this time a crisp child’s voice rang out, “Uncle–” for a moment the crowd had through the line of sight, only to see a four or five year old little girl wearing a white tutu, Qi bangs soft hair draped over her shoulders, indescribably cute.
The little girl ran to Ning Qingyuan’s side with her short legs whirring, her little hand took the initiative to climb up, “Uncle, I miss you.” That soft voice instantly captured many people.
Zhong Yu looked at Ning Qingyuan’s cool face lines instantly softened by a few points.
The crowd sized up this large and small, although the little girl could not see any similarities with Ning Qingyuan.
But looking at Ning Qingyuan’s loving look, they knew that this girl was something else. Zhong Yu looked faintly at the little girl grinning happily, his heart seemed to be what pulled a bit, that smile like a person he had hidden deep in his mind, vaguely similar.
Ning Qingyuan carefully hugged her, “Gentlemen, Mister Ning won’t see her off.”
The crowd expressed their understanding.
Zhong Yu walked to the entrance of the hall, waiting for the space for the car, and ghostly glanced back.
“Where’s mom?” Ning Qingyuan asked with a lowered head.
“Mommy’s a glutton, she’s still eating cake there.” The little girl stretched out her hand and pointed ahead.
Zhong Yu froze slightly, only to see a thin figure quickly approaching Ning Qingyuan, and the little girl probed her body to reach out and jump into her arms. A cool breeze gusted over him, his entire being instantly sobered up, his eyes deepening.
