Chapter 22 Is it worth it?
On New Year's Eve, Leng Yu called Ye Tong. From Ye Tong's hoarse voice, Leng Yu could tell that Ye Tong had cried.
Leng Yu turned around and went back to the room, and sat with grandma to watch the Spring Festival Gala. Leng Yu looked at grandma with some hesitation.
"Xiaoyu, do you have anything to tell grandma?" Grandma saw that Leng Yu had something to tell herself.
Leng Yu hesitated again and again, but finally said: "Grandma, I want to go to the city tomorrow morning, and I will be back in the evening."
"Go, don't worry about grandma." Grandma looked at Leng Yu kindly.
"But tomorrow is the first day of the new year. If I go to the city, I won't be able to accompany you." Leng Yu's heart was very tangled.
"Xiaoyu, do what you want to do right away, don't be fickle, the opportunity is fleeting, although grandma doesn't know why you go to the city, but I understand that for you, it must be a Itβs a very important thing, if you donβt go, you may regret it for the rest of your life, so go ahead with confidence.β
"Grandma, thank you, I understand, then I'll go buy a ticket now."
"Well, let's go, boy."
Leng Yu returned to his room, took out his mobile phone and booked a train ticket online. In order to be able to get to the city earlier, he bought a ticket for four in the morning.
The train station is in the county seat. Leng Yu must arrive at the county seat before four o'clock to take the train, but before four o'clock in the morning, it is impossible for someone to take him to the train station. There is a bicycle at home. Leng Yu decides to ride a bicycle. train station.
At about two o'clock in the middle of the night, Leng Yu set off. His movements were very light and did not disturb the sleeping grandma.
Leng Yu's home is about 20 kilometers away from the railway station in the county seat. It takes at least two hours to ride a bicycle, so he will leave at two o'clock.
The temperature in the middle of the night is the lowest. Although Leng Yu wears a lot of clothes, when the north wind blows on his face while riding a bicycle, it still hurts him.
Leng Yu rushed to the vicinity of the train station, found an abandoned house, and hid his bicycle in it. When he came back, he would use his bicycle to ride home.
Just when Leng Yu got on the train, in a small county town in the south, Xia Lin also got on a train bound for the city.
At about 8:30 in the morning, Leng Yu arrived at Ye Tong's rental house, but Ye Tong was not in the rental house.
Leng Yu originally wanted to call Ye Tong to ask her location, but thought of giving Ye Tong a surprise, and finally gave up the idea.
Leng Yu stood in front of the rental house, lowered his head and thought about where Ye Tong might go, and finally he thought of the park he went to with Ye Tong.
Leng Yu turned around and walked towards the park. He just walked out not too far when another person appeared in front of Ye Tong's rental house. It was Xia Lin.
Xia Lin was also worried when he stood in front of the rental house. Before he came, Xia Lin thought that Ye Tong might go home, but he couldn't help coming. Ye Tong never mentioned his family to him. So Xia Lin didn't know that Ye Tong had no home.
Xia Lin stood there, remembering what Ye Tong once said, the park in the east of the city is very interesting, and she often goes there.
Xia Lin thought that he had already come, so why not go to the park that Ye Tong mentioned, if he was lucky, he might meet Ye Tong.
Leng Yu looked at Nuoda's park and didn't know where to look for Ye Tong. He walked to the pavilion where he once stayed with Ye Tong, but Ye Tong was not seen here.
Leng Yu was very anxious in his heart. He was going back at four o'clock in the afternoon. If he couldn't find Ye Tong, he would come here for nothing.
Although he really wanted to surprise Ye Tong, Leng Yu finally decided to call Ye Tong and ask her specific location.
Just when Leng Yu picked up the phone and was about to dial Ye Tong's number, Ye Tong's voice came from the speaker.
After Leng Yu asked the staff about the location of the broadcasting station, he ran towards it. At this moment, he really wanted to see Ye Tong.
As soon as Leng Yu left, Xia Lin came to the place where he was standing. Xia Lin also heard Ye Tong's voice on the radio.
Xia Lin was very happy when he heard Ye Tong's voice. He originally came to the park to try his luck, but he never expected to meet Ye Tong.
When Leng Yu arrived at the radio station, he happened to see Ye Tong leaving, he walked gently behind Ye Tong, and said softly, "The little girl has found her mother, why don't you come home with me? ?"
Ye Tong turned his head and threw himself into Leng Yu's arms with tears on his face, and all this happened to be seen by Xia Lin in the distance.
"Leng Yu, why are you here?" Ye Tong broke free from Leng Yu's arms and looked at him tenderly.
"Ye Tong, I'm here to pick you up, go back with me, and let's celebrate the New Year together." Leng Yu's eyes showed a pleading look.
Ye Tong held Leng Yu, walked towards the park gate, and said as he walked, "Leng Yu, I'm very happy that you came to see me, it's too early to go back with you now, neither of us are lovers, what identity am I? go back with you?"
"As a classmate."
"Leng Yu, I know you're doing it for my own good, but I really can't go. After college, we'll become lovers. Even if you don't let me go to your house, I'll go." Ye Tong didn't want to go, But her relationship with Leng Yu is just classmates. If she really goes like this, it will inevitably destroy the atmosphere of Leng Yu's family celebrating the Spring Festival, which she doesn't want to see.
"Ye Tong, actually my family..."
Just when Leng Yu was about to say that his family only had his grandma and himself, Ye Tong interrupted: "Leng Yu, it's alright, I'm very happy now, don't persuade me any more."
"Okay, I'm going back in the afternoon. It's still early. I'll go shopping with you, and then go to dinner." Seeing that Ye Tong had made up his mind, Leng Yu stopped persuading her.
"Well, since you came all the way to see me, then I'll invite you to this meal to ensure that you are satisfied." Ye Tong was very happy in his heart, although Leng Yu could only accompany her for one meal, it was enough. .
After eating, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon, Leng Yu and Ye Tong walked to the train station, Ye Tong looked at Leng Yu who was leaving reluctantly.
"Ye Tong, take care of yourself and call me if you need anything." Leng Yu had already walked a long way.
"I see, you go quickly, and pay attention to safety on the road." Ye Tong's originally happy mood became sad as Leng Yu left.
Ye Tong dragged her tired body and slowly walked back to her rental house. Lying on the bed, she recalled in her mind everything she experienced when she was with Leng Yu today. This was her only spiritual comfort. Fall asleep in this memory.
Irregular snowflakes fell from the sky and fell on Xia Lin's body one by one. Due to the low temperature, the snowflakes did not melt immediately after falling on Xia Lin's body. It was just that the snowflakes were cold and cold, just like Xia Lin's. the same heart.
Xia Lin looked at the scene of Leng Yu hugging Ye Tong in the distance, severe pain came from his heart, he felt as if his heart was smashed, and he couldn't breathe.
Xia Lin seemed to hear the sound of something breaking. He listened carefully and realized that it was his heart that was broken.
At the beginning, Xia Lin only felt a pain in his heart. Gradually, an unspeakable pain spread throughout his body. Wang Xiaojuan had also experienced this kind of pain. The pain Xia Lin felt at the moment was what Wang Xiaojuan saw in the back playground Ye Tong felt the pain when Leng Yu put on the scarf.
On New Year's Eve, when Xia Lin said that he was coming to the city, he was severely scolded by his father for being unfilial, and for not accompanying his family on the first day of the new year.
Xia Lin didn't flinch. He had a fight with his father for an uncertain outcome. Despite the obstruction of his family, Xia Lin resolutely escaped from the house.
Xia Lin bought the train ticket at around four in the morning. When he arrived at the train station, he questioned himself in his heart: "Is it worth it? Ye Tong may have gone home, but he and his family are for an uncertain result. Is it really worth it when people quarrel and go to the city to find Ye Tong?"
Xia Lin didn't know, he didn't know if it was worth it, he only knew that he wanted to do it, he wanted to see Ye Tong.
The temperature in winter is very low, so low that tears turn into ice flowers before they fall. Xia Lin endured the pain in his heart and silently looked at Leng Yu and Ye Tong in the distance.
Xia Lin stood there like a sculpture, until Leng Yu and Ye Tong left, he came back to his senses.
The pain made his breathing quicken, and he tried to escape the feeling, but no matter how much he struggled, it didn't help.
From childhood to adulthood, Xia Lin has never been so helpless as he is now. He feels that he has fallen into the abyss at this moment, and is still falling, the wind whistling in his ears, like a knife, slowly cutting him heart.
Xia Lin stayed in place for half an hour before feeling better. He walked out of the park, found a restaurant, and drank a lot. He never drank. He drank for the first time, and he was very drunk. His father rushed over from home to take him home.
Originally, Xia Lin ran away from home on New Year's Eve, and his father was going to take him back and beat him, but at this moment, looking at Xia Lin, who was not as good as death, and his son's appearance, his heart was more painful than anyone else.
The temperature in the middle of the night was the lowest, and the snow was the heaviest. Xia Lin lay quietly in the car, his expression looked painful, as if he had experienced something terrible.
The roads that have snowed in winter are very slippery. Xia Lin's father did not dare to drive the car too fast. Originally, he could drive to the house in two hours. Today, he drove for four hours.
Xia Lin's father was able to drive the car to the house in four hours, thanks to the snow-sweeping staff. If it wasn't for their silent efforts to clean up the snow on the road, the vehicle would not be able to leave the house at all.
It was eleven o'clock in the evening when Leng Yu returned home, and his grandmother was still sitting and waiting for him.
"Grandma, aren't you sleeping yet?" Leng Yu cleaned the snow off his body and sat down next to grandma.
"I'm going to bed right away, by the way, Xiaoyu, two girls came to look for you at around two o'clock this afternoon. They waited for you for two hours, and finally they couldn't wait for you to go home. They even asked me to give this to you. You." Leng Yu's grandmother took out a delicately packaged gift box from the side.
Leng Yu opened the box and saw a pair of slippers, a scarf, and two sweaters inside.
"Grandma, did they say their name?" Leng Yu thought about it carefully in his mind, but he couldn't think of anyone who would give him these things.
Ye Tong is impossible, Leng Yu has been with her today, Yang Qingqing is even more impossible, if she wants to send these things, they will be sent at school, there is no need to be so troublesome.
"They didn't say their names, they just said it's a pity they didn't meet you."
"Grandma, it may be my classmate. I'll call and ask later."
On a section of road not far from the city, there was a sharp turn, and beside the sharp turn, there was a bus that rolled over, a girl stood in the crowd of people who fell to the ground and shouted desperately: "Juan, where are you? "
