Chapter 78

Although the distance from Rong Ying's small courtyard to Mu Qing's community was a bit long, Yu Yifeng had a good luck today. But even so, he still felt that the time was too long.

When the elevator reached the twelfth floor, he subconsciously held his breath, but when he entered the corridor, an ominous premonition quietly emerged in his heart.

It seems a little too quiet here.

Yu Yifeng walked quickly to the door and knocked gently on the door, but this door had never rejected him, but it was the first time that it didn't immediately respond to him.

He reluctantly knocked a few more times, but other than the echo of his knock on the door, there was no additional sound on the entire twelfth floor.

The anxiety in his heart became heavier and heavier, and Yu Yifeng couldn't wait any longer. He took out the key that Mu Qing had given him before, silently said "Excuse me", and opened the door in front of him.

When he walked in, Yu Yifeng habitually lowered his head and glanced at it, but the place where he usually squatted as a kitten, but today there was no familiar white fur ball, and the place where there were always a few pairs of replacement slippers was also empty. The green plants in the corner are missing, but the hanger at the corner has been moved to the corner. It is clean and there is nothing like the shoe cabinet.

The unease in his heart intensified, Yu Yifeng walked into the living room, but what caught his eye was not the sofa carpet scattered with small toys, but a few light-colored dust covers, and the familiar to him that was buckled upside down on the table. two cups.

Huge panic rose in his heart, Yu Yifeng almost hurriedly opened the door of every room, only the dust cover of the same color and the empty cabinets greeted him.

Except for the cat climbing frame covered by a transparent cover in the corner, and the book of poems with a page of bookmarks on the side of Mu Qing's bed, everything clearly shows that the person Yu Yifeng wants to spend his life with , has already left here.

He stood there in a daze for a moment, and suddenly turned on his mobile phone as if he had just woken up from a dream, and dialed the familiar number, but the voice of the connection did not come, only the cold female voice repeated without fluctuation. wrote:

Hello, the number you dialed has been switched off, please try again later...

After repeating it several times in a row, the call hangs up automatically.

Yu Yifeng stared at the phone that had returned to the main interface, trembling fingers, looking for Mu Qing's name in the chat software, but after the message was sent, only a red exclamation mark popped up, even in the large group of teachers in his outer courtyard. , Mu Qing's name also quietly disappeared.

He bit the tip of his tongue and forced himself to stay awake, and called the dean of the department. However, listening to his question, the dean of the Spanish language department just smiled apologetically: "You ask Mr. Mu? He is not our teacher of the Russian department, this I don't know the specific situation, you can ask the director of the Russian Department to see if he knows."

The head of the Russian Department answered the phone quickly, and told Yu Yifeng cheerfully that Mu Qing had gone to another school as an excellent teacher representative of Chaohai University to exchange lectures. But when he heard him asking about the specific address, he sighed in embarrassment:

"Mr. Yu, it's not that I don't want to tell you about this, but Mr. Mu has always disliked high-profile people. This exchange of lectures is also planned to be shared when I come back to the symposium after the lecture. The specific address, I really It's inconvenient to say, sorry!"

After he finished speaking, he politely paused for a moment, intending to have a few more chats with Yu Yifeng, but the phone was cut off without warning.

Yu Yifeng didn't remember how he hung up the phone, nor how he came to Mu Qing's bedroom, but when he came back to his senses, he had already held the only book of poems related to Mu Qing on the desktop. in hand.

He opened the book of poems along the bookmark, but the first thing that caught his attention was not the beautiful squiggly Russian on the pages, but the translation written in Chinese on the postcard-like bookmark:

I used to love you: love, maybe

Not quite dead yet in my mind,

I hope it doesn't bother you anymore,

I don't want to make you sad anymore.

I once loved you silently and hopelessly,

I suffer both shyness and jealousy,

I used to love you so sincerely and so tenderly,

God bless you,

Another person will love you as much as I do.

The font is clear and concise, and the brush force is vigorous, and at a glance, it can be seen that it is from the hand of Mu Qing.

Yu Yifeng once held those hands, saw his smile in the warm morning sun, kissed his lips in the warm night wind, and the scenes he once got along with Mu Qing were very clear in front of his eyes. He appeared, but the person he wanted to see the most disappeared from his presence forever.

The moment he clearly realized this fact, severe pain rose up in his heart without warning, Yu Yifeng's hand trembled suddenly, and the poetry collection that he had been holding firmly in his hand fell heavily.

A silver ring that was once worn on another person's ring finger rolled out of the page, turned twice on the ground, and stopped quietly in front of Yu Yifeng.

He lay down on the ground and tried to breathe evenly, gritted his teeth and endured the pain before reaching out and holding the ring firmly in the palm of his hand.

The texture of the metal made Yu Yifeng's palm hurt, but he seemed to be unconscious, and picked up the piece of paper with Mu Qing's handwriting from the ground and pasted it on the place of his heart.

Rong Ying did not wait for any news from Yu Yifeng until the moon was in the middle of the sky.

She was really worried, and after hesitating for a moment, she still called Yu Yifeng.

The phone rang for a long time before connecting. Rong Ying was about to ask him about his situation, but was startled by the hoarse voice on the other end of the phone: "What's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing." Yu Yifeng washed the remaining blood on the corners of his mouth with running water to make sure that there were no traces on his body before turning off the water tap and walking out, "I just found that he couldn't find him, so he vomited a little blood in a hurry, and now it's gone. normal now."

"You're okay!?" Rong Ying's voice came from the receiver, almost breaking Yu Yifeng's eardrums, "Have you gone to see a doctor!?"

"Not yet, I just couldn't stand up, I've calmed down now, and I plan to see it now." Yu Yifeng closed the door behind him and smiled softly, "Don't worry, grandma, I'm measured."

His voice was firm, but Rong Ying's momentum did not diminish in the slightest: "You have a ghost! Where are you now? I will ask someone to pick you up, stop running around!"

"I'm really fine, just trust me." Yu Yifeng pressed the elevator button and said with a smile, "You don't need to call someone over, I'm not a kindergartener, I can drive by myself, and I know I'll go to the hospital. Road, you must read it before you go home, really."

Rong Ying listened to his firm voice, but she was still uneasy in her heart, and was about to persuade him a few more words, but Yu Yifeng suddenly said: "By the way, grandma, I have something I want to ask you."

"what?"

Yu Yifeng coughed lightly, holding back the itch in his throat, and said to Rong Ying, "I want to know which city Mu Qing went to to exchange classes, and what classes did he teach at which school."

Rong Ying frowned and planned to listen to him continue, but she hadn't heard Yu Yifeng's next words for a long time, so she couldn't help asking: "That's all?"

"Yeah." Yu Yifeng said, "These should be the information published on the official website of the school he went to, but I have to go to the doctor now, I don't have time to look for it, so I can only ask my good grandmother to find someone to take a look at it for me. . As for more detailed information, such as address, these are his own privacy, if I go to check these, he will not be happy. "

Rong Ying listened to his calm voice, but she was confused: "Are you going to find him?"

"Um."

"Then, what if he ignores you?"

"He ignored me?" Yu Yifeng's hoarse voice came into Rong Ying's ears along the receiver, with a faint smile, "Then I will try my best to chase. While he may still like me, While there is still time, I will try my best to trust him, respect him, and really get close to him."

Yu Yifeng: I can't be a coward anymore, I'm afraid my wife will run away
