Lu Yiwei did not know when he woke up. When he opened his eyes, his eyes were blinded by the bright light. He instinctively covered his eyes with his hands and closed his eyes again. He then pulled the blanket over his head out of habit.
"Huh?" Lu Yiwei sniffed the blanket with all his might. There was a different kind of fragrance. It was light, a little like lilac, but also like osmanthus. It was even mixed with the body fragrance of a woman. Only then did he realize that this was not his home, but someone else's.
He suddenly pulled the blanket down and opened his eyes. Looking at the unfamiliar environment, he sat up immediately. He looked around, but there was no one. "Where am I?" Lu Yiwei could not remember what had happened earlier. He only remembered that he was drinking with Meng Xiaonan at noon. Could this be Meng Xiaonan's house?
"Meng Xiaonan!" Lu Yiwei called softly, but no one answered. He rubbed his swollen head and prepared to get out of bed to go to the toilet. When he lifted the blanket, he found only a pair of shorts. He touched his upper body and found no clothes. He could not help but feel nervous. "Did I do something?"
"Impossible!" Lu Yiwei shook his head desperately. He could not think too much. He looked around for clothes but could not find them. So he put on a towel and was flushed into the toilet. He opened the floodgate and felt very comfortable.
As he peed, he looked at himself in the mirror. He was surprised to find lipstick marks on his face, neck, and chest. In front of the hard facts, Lu Yiwei was stunned. But he really could not remember anything. He turned on the faucet and washed his head with cold water. With a shudder, he was completely awakened. Memories began to come back, and the scenes that had happened gradually appeared in his mind …
After washing up, Lu Yiwei came to the spacious living room. He looked around. When he saw the family photo of Meng Xiaonan and her family behind the sofa, he knew where he was. But on second thought, he remembered that he and Bai Yuxin had been to Meng Jizhong's house. It was in the tube-shaped apartment of the Municipal Party Committee's Family Quarters. But this was not Meng Jizhong's house. Could it be another residence?
There were cigarettes on the coffee table. Lu Yiwei picked one up and lit it up. He took the ashtray to the balcony, opened the window, and sat on the rattan chair. As he looked out the window at the night view, he recalled everything that had happened today.
The surroundings outside the window were desolate. As far as the eye could see, it was pitch-black. Only a huge amount of dazzling light could be seen in the distance. At the same time, there wasn't the noise of heavy traffic in the city. Instead, there were more clanking sounds. Lu Yiwei concluded that this was the suburbs, and it was a new house. However, he couldn't see anything outside, so he didn't know where he was.
Recalling Xia Jinhe's smile and frown in Lin Haifeng's car, Lu Yiwei gritted his teeth in hatred. With the addition of Meng Xiaonan's "gossip", Lu Yiwei was even more furious. He couldn't believe that the other side of Xia Jinhe was so shocking. It was as if they were two different people. Why? If she didn't like me, why did she get a marriage certificate with me? In fact, Lu Yiwei had a hunch earlier, but he wasn't that kind of person. In any case, he wouldn't put the word "suspicion" on himself. However, everything seemed pale and powerless.
Lu Yiwei frowned and took a deep drag of the cigarette. Then, he exhaled a long breath into the air. The smoke formed a small circle in the air, slowly spreading, and finally disappeared without a trace. He felt that emotions were like smoke rings. After experiencing good things, they would eventually disappear. Recalling his own emotional experience, Lu Yiwei wanted to cry but had no tears. Almost at the most critical time of every relationship, God would send a devil to punish him. With his ex-wife, Li Shu-man, he had just passed the running-in period, but the marriage was terminated because of the failure of his career. With his ex-girlfriend, Su Meng, he had reached the point of marriage, but Su Qiming's interference was hastily ended. Now with Xia Jinhe, he had already gotten a marriage certificate, but he encountered this kind of thing again. What was he going to do?
Lu Yiwei was originally full of expectations for his future life, but now he had achieved nothing. His career was back to the starting point again, and his family was facing the collapse.
A cold wind blew in, and Lu Yiwei shivered. He seemed to be more sober than before. Seeing the phone on the coffee table in the living room, Lu Yiwei walked over and picked it up. He was ready to call Xia Jinhe, but he had already dialed it. In the end, he chose to give up.
"Perhaps Xia Jinhe is not what I think. Am I too sensitive?" Lu Yiwei asked himself. After hesitating for a moment, he still dialed it.
At this time, Xia Jinhe was looking for Lu Yiwei all over the world. When he saw an unfamiliar number, he picked it up and said impatiently, "If you have something to say, say it quickly. If not, I'll hang up. I don't have time to chat with you."
"Jinhe …"
"Yiwei?" Xia Jinhe screamed in surprise. He was so anxious that he burst into tears and said eagerly, "Where the hell are you? I don't know how many times I've called you this afternoon, but your phone is always off. Where are you? "
Hearing that Xia Jinhe was still concerned about him, Lu Yiwei's heart instantly softened. He didn't even want to think about what happened today and said, "I don't know where I am. Where are you? I'll come and find you now. "
"I've been waiting for you in the dormitory!" Xia Jinhe said, "How about this? You can go to the Shing Wong Temple's plaza. I'll be there soon!"
After hanging up the phone, Lu Yiwei looked around for his clothes. In the end, he found his wet clothes on the balcony of a bedroom. However, he couldn't be bothered anymore. He took it off and wore it. Just when he was about to leave, he met with Meng Xiaonan.
Seeing that Lu Yiwei was in such a hurry, Meng Xiaonan immediately asked, "You're leaving?"
Nodding his head, Lu Yiwei replied, "I still have something urgent to deal with. Thank you for your hospitality, and I'll repay you the next time we meet!"
Meng Xiaonan was a little disappointed as she lifted the lunchbox in her hand. "I went to the city to buy some sweet and sour meatballs for you. Why don't you have some before you leave?"
"I'm really sorry!" Lu Yiwei did not dare to look at Meng Xiaonan.
"You're going to see her?" Meng Xiaonan coldly asked.
"..." Lu Yiwei was baffled.
"You've told me everything after drinking too much." Feeling a little awkward, Meng Xiaonan raised her head and said, "Lu Yiwei, Professor Xia is not suitable for you. If you don't mind, I can be your girlfriend. Don't worry, my history is clean, and I won't fool around behind your back. Most importantly, I'm still a virgin. Is that okay? "
Hearing Meng Xiaonan's words, Lu Yiwei felt a lot more relieved. At the very least, it meant that nothing happened after drinking. In Lu Yiwei's eyes, Meng Xiaonan was just a child. How could he treat her as his girlfriend? Originally, Lu Yiwei wanted to flatly refuse, but seeing her pitiful look, he couldn't bear to do so. He said, "Xiaonan, thank you for your honesty. You're still young, and you've just entered society. There are many better men than me. You need to sharpen your eyes to discover and search for them, okay? I really have to go. I'll contact you the next time I go to Bei Zhou. "After saying that, despite Meng Xiaonan's repeated attempts to persuade him to stay, Lu Yiwei resolutely ran downstairs.
Lu Yiwei ran out of the gate in one breath. Panting, he looked back at Meng Xiaonan, who was standing on the balcony looking around, and walked out of the neighborhood without looking back. He was surprised to find that the area was too familiar. After careful identification, it was the new urban area of Bei Zhou City. More coincidentally, the building he had just walked out of was also his and Xia Jinhe's new house.
Lu Yiwei hailed a taxi and went straight to the Shing Wong Temple Square. When he arrived at the square, Lu Yiwei saw Xia Jinhe standing on the side of the road, looking around anxiously. After hesitating for a while, Lu Yiwei closed his eyes and got out of the car.
"Yiwei!" Xia Jinhe flew over like a bird, hugged Lu Yiwei, and kissed his face. Touching his wet body, he asked in surprise, "What happened to you? Did you fall into the river? "
Lu Yiwei looked straight ahead and ignored Xia Jinhe. Instead, he was thinking about how to change the topic.
"This won't do. Hurry up and change!" Xia Jinhe supported himself in the air with a distressed expression. He looked around and said, "Come, let's go in and buy some clothes."
"Jinhe!" Lu Yiwei pulled Xia Jinhe back. He was at a loss and was past his prime. The words were at the tip of his tongue, but he could not say them.
"What's wrong?" Xia Jinhe looked at the unhappy Lu Yiwei and said, "What's wrong with you today? Did he encounter something troubling him? You've been unhappy. Oh, by the way, there were two or three groups of people looking for you this afternoon. They're going crazy. My phone is exploding with calls, saying that I'll let you know if there's any news. There are still people squatting outside the dormitory, so I sneaked out and asked you to meet here. Yiwei, tell me, what happened? So many people are looking for you. "
"Is that important?" Lu Yiwei asked deliberately.
