He woke up early in the morning to exercise as usual. After running a lap, he started kicking trees. A beautiful figure entered his sight, and he couldn't help but take a few more glances. She had long legs and fair skin, and her fair skin was slightly red. She had light bangs, and her eyebrows were like scissors. She suddenly tilted her head and smiled, and his soul was hooked away.
Based on his experience, she was a demon from Russia.
Ever since tourism was promoted in the 1980s, there were more and more foreigners on the streets. To many people, this was a moving foreign currency bank.
Everyone loved to look at good-looking people. Even dogs would wag their tails at such a beautiful woman, let alone a grown man like Li He.
"Ouch."
It was a piercing pain. He was only focused on looking at her, and when he kicked the tree, he missed his leg.
He hugged his leg and sat on the ground for a while. His leg hurt every time he moved. He couldn't even stand up and walk. He realized that he had strained his ligaments. He didn't expect that he would be so unlucky during this period of idleness.
Misfortune never comes alone!
It was indeed indecent!
Why did he go to look at girls?
He only had himself to blame!
He picked up a tree stick from the roadside and slowly sprained his ankle. He didn't treat it. There was no other way to treat his strained ligaments.
He lay on the chair for an entire day. He had trouble boiling water. After sitting for a long time, he drank too much water, and going to the toilet became a problem.
He couldn't even drink water. Even the joy of drinking tea had been taken away from him.
But when he slept on the chair until noon, his stomach started growling. He had to eat. He was starving if he didn't eat. He kept looking at the main door, but he couldn't even see a shadow. Normally, Little Wei loved to visit, but he couldn't even see a shadow at such a crucial time. He was very angry.
In order to eat, he went all out. He dragged his injured leg out of the door and shouted to the kid at the alley, "Help me find Little Wei."
Little Wei ran over, sweating profusely. "Brother, what happened to you?"
"My leg is injured. Help me buy food."
Just like that, he was bored at home for a few days. His food and drinks were all bought by Little Wei. If he wasn't reading, he was listening to the radio or watching television. He was almost moldy. When he was barely able to walk, he didn't dare to use too much force on his feet. He could still manage to take a stroll every day.
When Qin Youmi saw him like this, he laughed out loud and made fun of his leg. "Retribution. You deserve it. "
He was rejoicing in the misfortune of others. The pain of her enemy made her feel very happy.
Li He said, "I'm happy. Why do you care?"
He didn't know why, but every time he saw this woman, he would be especially angry.
Zhao Yongqi called. "How have you been?"
"Not good, very not good." His leg injury was only a few days ago, how could it recover?
Zhao Yongqi smiled and said, "What's wrong?"
"Ligament strain. It just happened to be a few days ago. Don't you think I'm unlucky?" He couldn't wait to find someone to talk about his bad luck at this stage. At this time, Zhao Yongqi's call was exactly what he wanted, so he naturally wanted to have a good chat with him.
Zhao Yongqi said, "Luckily, someone is taking care of you. Otherwise, you really wouldn't be able to do anything."
"Who's taking care of me? I'm taking care of myself. If a man has tears, he'll have to swallow them." How could Lil 'Wei be considered taking care of him? He was already dissatisfied with the fact that she only sent him three meals a day.
Zhao Yongqi said, "Oh, so you still don't know?"
Li He asked curiously, "What do I know?"
Zhao Yongqi sighed and said, "I thought you knew."
"What should I know? Old Zhao, you know I hate people who don't finish their sentences. ‘
Zhao Yongqi said hesitantly, "I have something to tell you."
Li He said nonchalantly, "Hurry up and say it. Why do I feel like you're also dawdling now?"
Zhao Yongqi was silent for a moment before he slowly said, "I saw her."
"Who?" Li He was confused.
"It's your ex-girlfriend. Her name is Zhang something Ting," Zhao Yongqi answered uncertainly.
"Zhang Wanting? Are you sure you didn't see wrongly? " Li He asked anxiously. He was not in the mood to correct Old Zhao for calling her by the wrong name. After all, Old Zhao and Zhang Wanting had not met many times and it had been so many years. It was already not easy for him to call her by her surname.
Zhao Yongqi said, "Don't get too excited. I'm not sure either. I just saw that she looked like her. You also know that I'm not familiar with her, right? During the meeting yesterday, I only vaguely heard someone say that her name is Zhang something Ting. I'll call you to confirm it."
"Where did you see her?" He gripped the phone tightly, his breathing quickening.
"At our Central Organization Department. She's a representative sent by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. They came together for the meeting yesterday."
"Really?"
"I'll take you to see her." Zhao Yongqi was still afraid that something would happen to him in a hurry. That kind of place was not a place that Li He could enter. Only a few old classmates like them knew how hard it was for Li He to wait for someone.
"Okay."
In his panic, he did not even bother to go back to his room to change his shoes and clothes. He did not even bother to lock the door. He was very glad that the van that he had not driven for a long time did not disappoint him and started a fire. Along the way, he desperately honked the horn, wishing that he could crash into the car in front of him and force a few steps forward.
When the car in front of him heard it, it wanted to speed up to let him pass. However, Li He kept on honking the horn, which made the car in front of him angry. It immediately slammed on the brakes to slow him down, causing him to deliberately stop at a red light.
Li He was helpless. It was his fault for being unreasonable first.
When they reached the place, he did not bother to park the car carefully. When he saw Zhao Yongqi, he immediately stopped the car and opened the door to ask Zhao Yongqi, "Where is she?"
"I'll park the car for you first. You can't park here casually." Zhao Yongqi opened the car door and found that the car key was still in. He shook his head helplessly and helped to park the car at the corner of the road.
"Old Zhao, you're making me anxious!"
"Your foot injury has not healed yet?" Zhao Yongqi saw that when he was standing, one leg was upright and the other was bent over.
"My good brother!" He was finally a little impatient with Old Zhao's questions. If he had not seen the armed police at the gate, he would have rushed in directly. He would not have bothered to greet Zhao Yongqi.
Zhao Yongqi handed him a cigarette, then leaned against the car door and said with a smile, "I went to see her just now. She's not there. You can wait here."
"Do you know where she went? Let's go look for her. "He did not want to wait any longer.
Zhao Yongqi puffed out a smoke ring and said with a smile, "No one knows where she went. There are so many ministries and departments, how are we going to find her? It's not a big deal. Just wait patiently."
"Thank you." Li He's hand trembled as he lit the cigarette.
Unknowingly, the sun was already high up in the sky. The afternoon sun was a little scorching, and the two of them were sweating profusely. From time to time, passersby would greet Zhao Yongqi and ask him what he was doing here in the sun. Some even invited him to have a meal together, but Zhao Yongqi rejected them all.
Zhao Yongqi said, "Let's go and have lunch first. I'll go in and take a look after lunch. "
Li He shook his head and forced a smile. "Old Zhao, you're working. It's not good for you to keep me company like this. Go to work. I'll just wait here. " Only then did he realize that it was a little inappropriate for Zhao Yongqi to keep him company. He was different from a jobless person like him.
"You're just going to wait here?"
"I'll definitely wait here. Don't worry and go do your work. I won't go in. " Li He saw Zhao Yongqi's doubtful expression and said in an affirmative tone, "I promise I can do it. Hurry up and do your work."
Zhao Yongqi said, "Then I'll go first. If you're hungry, go get something to eat. I have a meeting in the afternoon, so I still have to organize the materials. "
"You're so long-winded. Go do your work." He quickly pushed Zhao Yongqi away.
After Zhao Yongqi left, he changed to a different place to wait. He stood under the sun at the main entrance and did not go to any shady places. He was afraid that he would miss her in the blink of an eye. There were so many people here that if he did not look carefully, he would not be able to recognize her.
Not being able to see her made him anxious. He was burning with anxiety and scratching his ears and cheeks. For a moment, he did not know what to do.
Even though the sun was still very hot, it was already leaning towards the west. He did not feel hungry at all because the person that he thought about day and night still had not appeared.
Just as he was about to give up, his eyes suddenly lit up. He hurriedly ran up and patted the person's shoulder, shouting anxiously, "Zhang Wanting."
"Do we know each other?"
"I'm sorry. I mistook you for someone else. "
He retracted his hand awkwardly. When he turned around, the girl's back looked too much like Zhang Wanting.
The girl smiled and said, "It's okay. Don't pat people's shoulders again. You'll be treated as a hooligan. "
"I'm sorry, thank you." It was only then that he realized that his foot was hurting even more because he had run too fast.
He squatted on the ground and rubbed his ankle in pain, but the more he rubbed, the more painful it became.
"Are you calling for me?"
"Ah." His whole body trembled. This voice was familiar yet strange. His hand held the ground tightly, and he did not dare to raise his head for a long time. He could feel the approaching breath, and he was afraid that what he was waiting for would be disappointment.
"Li Erhe, what's wrong? Hurry up and get up."
It's her, it's her. This time, he was sure. The moment he raised his head, he almost could not hold back the tears in his eyes.
When he saw her clearly, he smiled. He smiled very happily. Yes, he saw her. She was standing there, quietly looking in his direction. Her hair had grown long. He saw her smile. Her smile was like a spring breeze blowing away a drowsy flower.
She was back. The woman who had disappeared from his life for six years had returned.
He grinned like a child. "Hey, you're back."
His eyes were curved, and his smile was so wide that there were no gaps.
He did not know what to say. Wife, long time no see. Wife, you're finally back. These were the words he had shouted in his heart tens of thousands of times, but at this moment, he could not say a single word.
She tilted her head and said, "Li Erhe, you still haven't changed." Li He still had that almost bald short hair, baggy pants, and plastic slippers. His only bright white shirt was still soaked with sweat and stuck to his body.
She seemed to be very good at matching. She wore a blue shirt, a navy blue chiffon skirt, and a pair of black leather shoes. She was beautiful and dignified.
She held a small black bag in her hand, and looked at him with a smile.
Li He dragged his injured leg and took two steps forward to hold her hand. She inadvertently dodged, looking a little reserved and uneasy.
He scratched his head in annoyance. "I'm sorry."
He realized that there were many people around. He knew that Zhang Wanting was very prideful, and people would feel embarrassed if they looked at her.
Zhang Wanting smiled and said, "There's a coffee shop here. Let me treat you to coffee."
"Ah."
"Oh, right. I forgot. You don't drink things like coffee. Let's go have some tea. I'll treat you. "
Li He smiled and said, "Let's go home. There's all kinds of tea at home. If you want coffee, I'll go buy it for you. "
The night breeze caressed her hair. She was not in a hurry to answer Li He's question. She combed her hair back and said, "I have a meeting later. Why don't we talk tomorrow? I'll look for you tomorrow. Let's eat together. "
"I'll wait for you to get off work." A familiar yet strange feeling came to his heart.
Zhang Wanting shook her head. "There's no need. There might be a reception at the ministry tonight. You know it too …"
"I know, I know. We can't help ourselves in the temple. "Li He thought that he was smart and answered first.
Zhang Wanting smiled bitterly. "Then?"
"I'll go back first. I'll go back first. I'll pick you up tomorrow. "
"I'll look for you." Her expression did not show any emotion.
"Okay. I'll wait for you at home. "He nodded hurriedly.
He stared at her back in a daze. It was not until she went in and he could no longer see her that he remembered that he hadn't told her his home address.
For a moment, he didn't know what to do.
He stood at the gate helplessly. Looking at the strict security, he was in a daze. He wanted to enter, but he couldn't.
He wiped the sweat off his face as if to wipe away the fatigue of the day. He drove the car and stared blankly into the distance. He plunged into the night full of neon lights.
He returned to the cold and dark house. The door was not pushed open, and he realized that it was locked.
"Brother, you didn't lock the door when you left."
"Oh." Li He saw that Little Wei had opened the door, so he pushed it open and went in. Little Wei wanted to follow him in, but Li He turned around to lock the door.
"Brother, Brother!" Little Wei shouted and tried to squeeze in. Li He ignored him. He pushed him out and locked the door.
He entered the house and didn't turn on the lights. He sat there for a long time. He was hungry and realized that he hadn't eaten for a day.
There was rice crust in the basket. He broke it open and soaked it in a bowl. He shared some with Ah Wang. It was enough for a meal.
Lying on the bed, the night was so long. He didn't know when he started to resist the night. He looked forward to the arrival of the day. He had never wanted the day to come so desperately. He didn't feel sleepy at all. He could only open his eyes and stare blankly into the darkness.
