Ling Jie was stunned on the spot. Tong Yifei looked at him with the same lifeless gaze as before. She was calm and emotionless. "Lingjie, are you awake? Can you not lock yourself in a cage every time something happens? Pushing all the responsibility to others."
"Since you know that you're inferior to others, why don't you work hard?”Tong Yifei was no longer calm. Her expression was calm, but her tone was filled with explosive power." Yes, you have nothing today, but will you have nothing in the future? Ask yourself, what are you thinking? Is that what you think, or is your child blaming others for looking down on you? Ling Jie, if I, Tong Yifei, really cared about those things, do you think I would marry you? Why do you think my parents objected before we got married?”
Tong Yifei didn't know what she had said, but she could see Ling Jie's face turn ashen and pale when he looked at her. However, she had no other choice. It wasn't that she didn't have confidence in Ling Jie, but that Ling Jie cared too much about these things. Like many of the 80s generation, they felt that if they didn't get a house, they wouldn't have love. With a house, one would be able to withstand the cold. Only then would one's love and family be stable.
"Alright, don't you want to leave? You can leave sometimes. I'll just accompany my parents for dinner. Call me when you're done with work.”Tong Yifei said and left without looking back, leaving Ling Jie standing where he was. After taking a few steps, she said," I won't be going back for the next few days. I'm very tired. I want to stay at home for a few days. Let Mom make breakfast for you for a few days."”
Ling Jie stood rooted to the ground, his dry lips opened as if he wanted to say something, but no words came out. He watched as Tong Yifei's figure gradually disappeared into the distance. He squatted down and pondered for a while, then slapped his thigh and stood up to leave.
When he heard Mother Tong's words, he was very angry. However, what Tong Yifei said was not without reason. It was not wrong for the elders to hope for their daughter to be happy. It was also right for them to despise him for not having the ability, because he really did not have the ability to give Tong Yifei a good life. He was frustrated and wandered around the streets. The night was getting darker very slowly. Ling Jie didn't know how long he had been walking or smoking by the river.
When the lights were on, he looked up at the starry sky. The blue sky was dotted with stars, as if they were lighting up a lamp. Ling Jie's heart was in a mess. Just like Li Yu said, it couldn't be cut, but it was still messy.
People said that the stars were the guiding light, and now he also hoped that there was a lamp in front of him that could guide him.
Just as he was thinking about it, his phone rang. He thought it was Tong Yifei who gave him a baby. He took out his phone and his eyes darkened when he saw it.
" Where are you?" You Le Yuan asked him when he picked up the call. Bai Ye and I are eating outside. Do you want to come?”
Ling Jie stomped his feet and said," I'll be right there."”
He went to the roadside to flag down a taxi and told the driver about his destination. Then, he lay down in the car and closed his eyes to rest for a while. When he arrived, he had already fallen asleep. The driver only woke him up when he called him. He paid the driver and rushed to the place You Le Yuan had mentioned.
When White Night saw him, he began to laugh inexplicably again. "Aren't you going to your wife's house for dinner today? Why would you have time to come out? Did your wife chase you out?”After saying that, he even hinted at You Le Yuan.
Ling Jie was already in a bad mood. When he sat down, he took a big gulp from White Night's wine glass. He took the chopsticks that White Night handed over and began to eat. He didn't want to say anything. "Alright, don't talk about me. Don't talk so much about eating.”
"Hey, no, what's wrong with you and your wife? This was not a solution. If they quarreled every three days, no matter how good their relationship was, they would still get a divorce.”Bai Ye chatted and laughed to ease the atmosphere. He gestured for You Leyuan to come to his side while he wanted to know what had happened to Ling Jie.
"Curse me." Ling Jie took a sip of wine and suddenly patted Bai Ye's shoulder." Brother, as someone who has been through it before, I suggest you not to fall into the grave of marriage. I guarantee that you will want to jump out even if you fall in."”
"Hey, what's wrong with you? This isn't your style.”White Night found it strange.
"Didn't you say that people change in different environments? I've changed.”Ling Jie said.
"No, you must have something on your mind.”Bai Ye said. The waiter had just walked past him, so he called for the waiter to order more wine. He then turned to Ling Jie and said," This bro will drink with you today. If there's anything you need, just tell us. We'll help you if we can." How big of a matter could it be resolved so quickly by just a few people sitting together?”
Ling Jie tilted his head and smiled." That's true, but it's still difficult to solve it.”
"Just say it if you think of us as good friends. The three of us have been together for so many years.”You Le Yuan, who had been silent all this while, spoke up. Her gaze was as warm as the spring in March, with a feeling of a gentle breeze. The corners of her lips curled up slightly, looking unique. "Don't you think so? White Night."
"I know you have good intentions. But let's not talk about this tonight. Let's just have a good meal. Although we'll be working together after graduation, there won't be many opportunities for us to have a good meal.”Ling Jie raised his cup and said," I know you have good intentions, but this situation doesn't win. Let's leave the bad things for tomorrow. It's fine as long as we're happy today."”
"I think that's fine too." White Night said as he raised his glass.
The memories of his youth at that time were evoked in this small place. Ling Jie did not know if it was his own psychological reasons or something else, but he really wanted to get drunk and sleep on the battlefield. When he woke up, he would be a good man.
He and Ling Jie had already abandoned their cups when they finished drinking. They both picked up their bottles and started drinking. Just like the night he and Tong Yifei got married, the floor was filled with the remnants of alcohol.
He didn't know how much he had drunk, but when he saw Tong Yifei, she still looked the same as when he first met her. She smiled innocently under the sunlight. Her face was filled with happiness.
He felt his whole body heating up. Someone was shouting in his ears, pushing and pulling, making him uncomfortable. The voices of the few people circled around her ears, and she could not hear what they were saying.
After Tong Yifei had dinner with Old Tong, she cleaned up the dishes with Mother Tong. She watched TV with Old Tong for a while and went back to her room early. She hadn't had a good rest for a long time. All she wanted now was to have a good rest.
She entered the room and changed her clothes before lying down. Mother Tong knocked on the door and came in. She sat by the bed and asked her worriedly. "Why don't you call Lingjie and ask him if he's home now?”
"He's already so old. Don't worry about anything.”Tong Yifei adjusted her pillow and pulled up the blanket.
"No, after all, he ran out of our house. What if something happens?”Mother Tong was still worried. "No, I have to make a call and ask.”
"Forget it, I'll do it." Tong Yifei couldn't argue with Mother Tong. She sat up from the bed and reached for her phone. "However, I don't know what you're worried about. Ling Jie wouldn't know how to grow up if he didn't experience something. Look, he couldn't stand these things. Moreover, his family said so. If he went to the company, wouldn't he go crazy?”
"That's true, but you're Lingjie's wife. You have to comfort Lingjie more.”Mother Tong said," A family needs to understand each other. Just like your dad and I, I always pick on him, but we're also tolerating each other to get to where we are now.”
"I know all of this, but Ling Jie has to go through these things.”Tong Yifei had just finished speaking when her phone rang. It was actually Ling Jie. She glanced at Mother Tong before picking up the phone. She called out to Ling Jie, but she heard Ling Jie's mother's angry voice coming from the other end.
"Tong Yifei, tell me what happened. Why was Ling Jie so drunk? Didn't he go home with you today? You're his wife, why don't you watch him?”He rattled off a series of questions.
Tong Yifei's ears hurt as she listened. She held her forehead and said," What did you say? Ling Jie drank? Has he returned home safely?"
"You know how to worry if he's back. Tong Yifei, I thought you had forgotten your identity?”Ling Jie's mother said sarcastically. "Tong Yifei, come home right now. I don't care if you're home or where you are.”
