The sky gradually darkened. It was time for Yunfan to go home. Today, the door was so quiet that it didn't move, as if it had taken sleeping pills. Don't think about it. Yunfan is so angry. He won't come back.
After crying for the entire afternoon, my tears were all gone. I leaned against the wall and sat on the ground, feeling wronged. The cold walls and the cold floor could not compare to the coldness in my heart. I squatted on the ground in despair and looked out the window expressionlessly. There were still tears on my face. I felt as if I had fallen into an icy cold sea. It was so cold that my bones were frozen, my blood was frozen, and my soul was frozen. I was floating up and down in this sea of despair, almost suffocating.
Time has turned off the light in the room and covered my face with a veil of darkness. I'm most afraid of ghosts. However, I didn't turn on the lights today. I didn't have the strength and wasn't in the mood. I believe that the despair of seeing a ghost can't compare to the despair I'm feeling now.
"I don't know why, but when I cried the whole afternoon, Yun Fan's painful face always appeared in my mind. Now that he thought about it, it seemed that the expression on that face was not only angry, but also filled with endless sadness. Why? Why do I have this feeling? Is it true? Yunfan, do you have something to hide?
"That's right. I'm angry. I'm very angry. I swore just now that I would never see you again. But I'm not only angry at you for shouting at me and throwing a tantrum. I'm also angry at you for not trusting me. Misunderstandings between people are common, but why don't you listen to my explanation?”
I suddenly realized that I could actually sit down quietly and think about why I was angry. I calmed down and thought about who was at fault. I also suddenly realized that I could actually feel the other party's sorrow and not just think about my own pain. I was a little shocked by myself.
I slowly raised my tear-stained face and looked out of the window in despair. It was like a little match girl lighting a match. Yun Fan's face seemed to be reflected outside the window, so ethereal. Yunfan, Yunfan, why don't you listen to my explanation…"
By the roadside
Yun Fan was still squatting by the car, as if he had exhausted all his strength. The blood on his right hand slowly coagulated, and there was a small pool of blood under it.
The weather slowly turned cold. Yun Fan raised his head weakly and found that the sky was already dark.
"How is Zi Ling now? She was most afraid of ghosts. Would she be afraid if I didn't go back in the dark? Was she asleep? " I really did. Why would I be so worried about her and worried about her…" Yun Fan couldn't help but worry about Zi Ling.
" Heh, maybe he's sending an email to Chu Lian right now, scolding me…" Yun Fan helplessly curled his lips and squeezed out an extremely sorrowful expression. He did not know if it could be called a bitter smile, because it really could not have anything in common with a smile.
Yun Fan looked up and saw a small bar by the roadside. He staggered towards the bar.
In the noisy bar, there was a noisy crowd. Heavy metal music was continuously playing, and a large group of people were dancing. It was unknown if they were enjoying themselves or if they were also numbing their hearts. Yun Fan was like a wounded beast. He found a dark corner and sat down slowly, trying to numb himself with alcohol.
Yun Fan raised his confused eyes. He seemed to have drunk a lot of wine, and his heart was filled with pain. Wine, wine, can you help me get rid of the pain?
“Whiskey!”Yun Fan raised his injured hand and shouted.
Yun Fan drank the strong liquor like drinking water, one cup after another. Tears dripped into the cups, accompanied by countless sorrows…
{New York Construction Company, USA}
"Chu Lian! It really is you!" It was a woman's voice. This woman looked to be in her late twenties. She had a high-profile ponytail and was dressed in silver-gray business attire. She looked capable, but she was a little understanding and optimistic. The woman was walking upstairs with a folder in her hand. When she saw Chu Lian, she exclaimed.
"Yahua! Why are you here too! Long time no see!" Obviously, Chu Lian was also very surprised. He did not expect to meet his old classmate here.
"What do you mean by 'why am I here'?! I'm the master, and you're new! I've been working here for two years!" Yahua hit Chu Lian with a folder.
"It's been two years, but you're still the same. You bullied me when I was studying in Paris!”Chu Lian sighed. Although Chu Lian had come to the United States to recuperate, it was still worth being happy to meet an old friend in a foreign land. Moreover, Chu Lian was very cheerful by nature. The hardships of the past two years had squeezed out all his optimism.
"I came here after I graduated. I heard that you were transferred here from Shanghai?”
"Yes."
"Eh? Why was he so quiet? I remember that you were a chatterbox when you were in school. You weren't that fluent in French, but you could still speak it. In the end, you became fluent in French, and everyone was envious! Why did you come to America? By the way, did you manage to woo the girl you always mentioned in school?”Yahua asked casually.
At the mention of this topic, the sadness that Chu Lian had managed to temporarily dissipate surged up again, and his eyes dimmed. " She's married…" Chu Lian lowered his head and said.
"Ah? Then have you always been single?" Yahua was surprised.
"No, we're divorced." The short sentence was filled with endless sadness, and each sentence struck the bottom of one's heart. These eight simple words expressed the endless pain and desolation of the past two years.
" I'm sorry..." Yahua looked at Chu Lian's dejected expression and felt very sorry. She knew that this optimistic and cheerful boy did not even have a smile on his face. It was obvious how much pain he had gone through.
Chu Lian raised his head and pursed his lips." I'm fine."”
"By the way, although we are of the same level and are both engineers, I have been in the headquarters for longer than you, so the manager asked me to guide you. When I read the information, I was very surprised. I thought it was the same name, but it really was you! In that case, you have to listen to me. I call myself your leader! You have to obey my orders!" Yahua said half-jokingly.
As expected of an old classmate. When he was in Paris for his Ph.D. in architecture, it was always easy for Chinese people to gather together. Yahua was Chu Lian's true friend and " confidante." Chu Lian and Yahua often mentioned Zi Ling back then, so naturally, Yahua knew Chu Lian like the back of her hand. Yahua was indeed Yahua. Chu Lian clearly felt that she was deliberately changing the topic. "Alright, Leader!" Chu Lian replied.
"Alright, let's go to work. Cultivate your relationship with your office and work hard.”Yahua said and left with the documents.
Looking at Yahua's back, she looked like a capable and capable woman. It was completely impossible to tell that she was the understanding and joking woman from earlier. Chu Lian came back to his senses. He took his belongings and walked towards his office.
It was the 64th floor of a tall building. The bright floor-to-ceiling windows were close to the sun. When the sunlight shone in, it felt warmer than the ground. Chu Lian stood by the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the traffic flow and crowd downstairs. It was so small. Suddenly, he deeply understood the meaning of " a drop in the ocean." When he was alone in that crowd, he would become a small part of it, and his pain would be negligible. Life, perhaps this was life.
Chu Lian began to tidy up his office. It was simple and neat, without any loose ends. After everything was tidied up, the office was clean and bright, and the white matte desk emitted an elegant white light. Finally, Chu Lian took out a photo frame from his suitcase. After hesitating for a long time, he placed it on his desk. It was a photo of Zi Ling.
While Chu Lian was looking through the information about the company headquarters, his phone suddenly rang.
"Hello, is this Chu Lian?"
"Who are you?"
"You forgetful brain, I am Yahua!”
" Oh, oh, oh..." Chu Lian sorted out his messy brain." What's the matter?”
"It's time to get off work! Come downstairs, I'll welcome you!”
"That, no…no need."
"What did they say? New employees must absolutely obey their leaders.”After saying that, the other party hung up the phone.
