On Friday night, Zhou Yinuo attended a reunion of his undergraduate classmates in Chengdu, where he met Lin Mu. Lin Mu had already broken up with his girlfriend, and when a classmate teased him about not bringing his family, Lin Mu simply said they had broken up.
When the classmates were chatting with each other, Lin Mu and Zhou Yinuo also started chatting. Lin Mu first congratulated Zhou Yinuo on his success in the postgraduate entrance examination, then asked him about his school situation and Wang Yitong's current situation.
When Lin Mu asked about Wang Yitong, Zhou Yinuo called him outside the private room and told him what he had read in Wang Yitong's diary. Zhou Yinuo said that when they broke up, they both said it was due to personality incompatibility. Wang Yitong came to him at the time and gave Lin Mu a tennis racket and a repeater, and he didn't ask much. Later, he accidentally saw Wang Yitong's diary and realized that she had endured too much that she shouldn't have endured alone.
Zhou Yinuo told Lin Mu that Wang Yitong could have gotten into a good university and that she was very kind to him, so why did they break up so suddenly? He suggested that Lin Mu should pay more attention to Wang Yitong and understand her inner world. Because one of Lin Mu's senior students nearly raped Wang Yitong, she has always had a traumatic experience, and her personality has become more volatile since then. The diary also records many other things.
"Why are you telling me this now! Let her bear all this alone!" Lin Mu yelled at Zhou Yinuo angrily.
"I wanted to tell you last time, but you said you had a girlfriend and didn't want to know about her. What can I say? Now Wang Yitong has gone to Shanghai to study, and you work at Huawei with a considerable salary. You will have a bright life in the future. If you really love her, you should get to know her and care about her earlier, instead of losing your temper with me here now." Zhou Yinuo said calmly, and then returned to the private room.
After hearing Zhou Yinuo's words, Lin Mu stood there in a daze, his heart filled with regret and self-blame. He thought back to the days he had spent with Wang Yitong, and his heart was filled with guilt. He realized that he had indeed failed to give Wang Yitong enough care and love when she needed it most, and that he had missed out on so much.
When Lin Mu returned to the private room, the students had already started serving the food. He sat quietly in the corner, listening to his classmates chatting. He felt very heavy-hearted, thinking about Wang Yitong all the time.
Halfway through the party, Lin Mu suddenly stood up and said to everyone, "Classmates, I have something to do and I have to leave first."
Everyone was surprised and asked him what happened. Lin Mu said, "Nothing, I just suddenly felt a little uncomfortable."
Zhou Yinuo saw what was on Lin Mu's mind. He stood up and said, "You guys continue. I'll take Lin Mu back first."
Lin Mu nodded and left the private room with Zhou Yinuo.
In the car, Lin Mu said to Zhou Yinuo, "Yinuo, can you take me to see the diary written by Wang Yitong?"
Zhou Yinuo hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, but you have to be mentally prepared."
Zhou Yinuo quickly drove back to District A. He said to Lin Mu, "Yitong later started her own business and bought her own house, right across from mine. Her parents are also my godparents. They used to live in another neighborhood, but later sold their house and moved into Wang Yitong's house. I'll go get my things first. You can watch TV here for a while."
"I'm sorry to trouble you. I'll wait for you here." Lin Mu said.
After that, Zhou Yinuo came to Wang Yitong's house and knocked on the door. Since Wang Yitong's parents sold their house and moved there, Zhou Yinuo returned the spare key to Wang Yitong's house to them.
Wang's father was still busy at the hot pot restaurant, while Chen Yin was at home checking the data of her Taobao store. She opened the door and saw Zhou Yinuo, and hurriedly let him in.
"Yino, you're here. Have you eaten? There's some food at home. I'll go heat it up for you now." Chen Yin said.
"Godmother, I'm sorry to come here so late. I remembered that there is a book on Tongtong's bookshelf at school that I need to study. I want to borrow it and return it after I finish reading it." Zhou Yino said embarrassedly.
"Oh, that's nothing. We haven't touched Tongtong's study. I don't know what book you mentioned. You can find it yourself. You can come over anytime you want to read. Next time you want to come over for dinner, let us know in advance so I can cook for you. The food in the school cafeteria is still not as delicious as the food at home." Chen Yin said enthusiastically.
"Okay, then godmother, you go do your thing first." Zhou Yinuo said as he walked to the study, lifted a stool and found Wang Yitong's diary from the top of the bookshelf, then took out a book on economics and closed the study door.
"Godmother, I found the economics book. I'll go back first. I'll go to godfather's restaurant to eat hot pot next time." As he said that, Zhou Yinuo showed Chen Yin the economics book.
"It's late now, so I won't keep you here. Call me in advance next time you come." Chen Yin enthusiastically escorted Zhou Yinuo out of the room.
After Zhou Yinuo left the room, he breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly took his car keys and walked back to his own community across the street and returned to his house. Lin Mu was not in the mood to watch TV at this time. Seeing Zhou Yinuo come back, he quickly got up from the sofa.
"How is it? Did you get it?" Lin Mu asked.
"I got it, but you can't tell anyone that you have read this diary. Even if Yitong asks, I will say that I accidentally saw it and told you. Take a look at it. After you finish reading, put it here and I will return it next week. I'll go to the kitchen to wash the cups and boil some water." Zhou Yinuo said.
Lin Mu opened the diary and began to read it carefully. He saw every detail of their acquaintance, Wang Yitong's inner pain and struggle, her longing and entanglement for him, and her blessings for him. He couldn't help but shed tears.
