At night, the rain outside was getting heavier and the wind was getting stronger and stronger. He suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to ask his wife if she had brought enough clothes, where they were staying, and if she had any money on her. He was annoyed at his carelessness.
When he got up in the morning, he braved the heavy rain to pick up Zhang Wanting. He felt that it was more comfortable to live at home, so he had to bring Zhang Wanting back. It was not good for his wife to live outside.
When he arrived, he sat in the car and opened the window. He waited from morning until afternoon, but there was no sign of her. He was a little anxious. He went out in the rain to find a phone booth and called Old Zhao. "Can you help me take a look? Old Zhao, I'll have to trouble you. "
Zhao Yongqi hesitated for a moment, but he still couldn't resist Li He's request. "Okay, I'll make a call."
Zhang Wanting came out with an umbrella. He hurriedly opened the car door, ignoring the heavy rain, and went out to welcome her. He said happily, "I'm here."
She rebuked, "You didn't bring a poncho."
He said happily, "You know what kind of person I am. I'm in good health. Do you remember when I was in Mount Wang 'er, I used to take a cold bath in winter?"
She covered him under the umbrella and asked, "I heard from Zhao Yongqi that you've been waiting here for a day. Next time you come, you should tell me in advance. I'm usually very busy."
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I didn't know. I don't have your number." He felt that he was a pig. He forgot to ask for her address, forgot to ask for her number, and even forgot to care about her life.
"You're still the same. You're so self-centered. Can't you care about other people's feelings? I'm at work. What would people think if I suddenly came out to look for you?"
He hurriedly explained, "I just forgot to ask where you were staying yesterday. I was also afraid that you didn't have any money on you, so I gave you some money. It's all expenses."
Zhang Wanting closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "I don't know how to tell you."
"It's raining outside. Get in the car." The thin silk skirt fluttered slowly in front of him. He could still see her bright eyes, but there was no smile on her face. It was the smile that had once made his heart flutter.
She shook her head. "I'll look for you in a few days."
He agreed cheerfully, and every day he sat on the threshold, looking to the left and to the right, for he did not know which direction she was about to take.
He waited for a week, but she didn't come. He still wanted to see her, but he was afraid that she would be bored. She was very busy.
He moved the battle to the road. He sat on the steps at the intersection and watched the people rushing by. He thought that if she forgot the way, he could catch her. The rain was heavy, but he didn't move.
Qin Youmi pulled Lil 'Wei's ear and asked, "Is Second Brother Li crazy?"
"My brother is looking at the scenery." Little Wei also knew the principle of not yielding to force.
Qin Youmi squatted in front of Li He with an umbrella and asked, "What's wrong with you? I have an acquaintance in the mental hospital. Can I introduce you to one? "
Li He ignored her. He felt cold all over, like a layer of gelatinous substance wrapped around his body. He picked up the stool, turned around, and went home.
He bolted the door with a click.
Qin Youmi said, "It's over, it's over. He's crazy."
He couldn't remember when he had eaten. He was just sleepy, so he went straight to bed.
He woke up in the morning and rubbed his head. He didn't know how long he had slept, but it felt like he had slept for years. He hesitated as he got off the bed, but he couldn't find his slippers. He usually put them under the bed when he went to bed. He was still trying hard to remember where to put them, but his head hurt. He decided not to think anymore, and he got off the bed barefooted.
He opened the door. The rain was still pouring outside, and it seemed like it would never stop. The raindrops hit the leaves of the locust tree mercilessly, making pitter-patter sounds.
He was finally hungry. He boiled some water in the pot. When the water boiled, he realized that there were no more noodles in the house.
He put on his clothes and shoes and went out the door. Seeing him come out, Little Wei said happily, "Brother, you haven't come out for two days."
"Oh."
He went to a noodle shop at the end of the alley and ordered pig head noodles. He ate bowl after bowl to his heart's content.
Zhao Yongqi was here again.
Li He greeted him with a smile, "You're late. Otherwise, I would have made you a bowl of pig head noodles. It's delicious."
Zhao Yongqi was silent for a moment before he finally said, "She came to find me."
"Who?"
"Zhang Wanting."
Li He smiled uncomfortably. "Why is she looking for you?"
"Actually, I shouldn't have told you that she came back."
Li He said unhappily, "Old Zhao, what are you talking about?"
"She didn't want you to know that she came back." Zhao Yongqi's voice unconsciously became louder as he spoke. "She's been back for half a year. Half a year, do you understand?"
"I know that she's usually busy. Go on. "
"Ask her yourself. I don't want to be your mouthpiece."
Zhao Yongqi wanted to say something but stopped. He shook his head and couldn't say anything. He stood up, turned around, and left.
Li He shouted at Old Zhao's back, "Hey, Old Zhao, are you crazy!"
"You're the one who's crazy! It's you! Do you know that! "Zhao Yongqi finally turned around and couldn't help but shout.
He waited on the doorstep of his house for a few days, rain or shine, and she finally saw him. That afternoon, the sun finally came out. The scorching sun shone brightly. She got out of a car, wearing a black dress, and walked to the eaves of Li He's house.
He jumped up from the ground. "Come in, come in."
She said mildly, "I'm sorry, I should have told you earlier."
"What?"
"I'm leaving after this period."
He was shocked. "Where are you going?"
"England."
He squeezed out a smile. "Can you stop fooling around?"
They liked to joke around when they were together.
"But you have to know that this is a public office, the technical advisor of the embassy." She looked at him and continued, "Erhe, I really don't know how to tell you. When I come back, I really don't want you to know. I don't want to disturb your peace. I don't want to get involved in your world. Do you understand?
"I won't disturb your work. I'll go to England with you. Really, I can go to England too." He knew that a child's temper had to be coaxed.
Zhang Wanting cried. "Erhe, it's not like that. You don't understand. There are some things that we say but can't do. That's because we're still young. There are some things that we do but don't say. That's because we're gradually maturing. I don't want to say it, Erhe. It's not good for us to be quiet like this. "
"What are you talking about? Don't you love me anymore?" He finally said the word 'love' in a stutter. He rarely said it. He always felt that it was a little pretentious.
"I used to think that it was love. Thinking back to the first moment you met me, when I was a pitiful worm, a pitiful little ant. You took pity on me and took care of me. Yes, I think that was pity now. You don't admit it! Li Erhe! "
"I …" His mind buzzed. Everything was a mess. Everything was a mess.
Under the sunlight, she showed a kind of elegance. Her hair hung down slightly. It was very long. Her legs were slightly crossed. She said gently, "We've grown up. We're not children anymore. Erhe, really. I hope you'll be well. "
She respected him, but she didn't love him.
"Stop fooling around, okay?" He said with a trembling voice, "You know that I've earned more money for you than I can spend in a lifetime. I really can't spend it in a lifetime. Really."
"I'm sorry, Erhe." She suddenly turned around and ran out.
"Wifey!"
He was stunned for a moment before he quickly chased after her. In the end, he could only see the small car speeding away, but he shouted with all his might. He stared into the distance blankly. The sunlight was blinding and could cut people.
