Chapter 46
Lu Xun's face was too pale, and his eyes were bloodshot. Ye Qingqing was a little scared: "You, how long have you been waiting here?"
Lu Xun shook his head and did not answer her. Instead, he asked again: "I want to know... where is Jiang Qiao."
“………………I really don’t know.”
Ye Qingqing finished speaking and hurriedly walked around him to leave. Lu Xun wanted to stop her, but his legs, which had been numb from sitting for so long, stumbled.
"Lu Xueba, are you okay?" Ye Qingqing's heart tightened, and she wanted to support him anxiously.
Lu Xun didn't let her help him, and said in a low voice: "No need..."
Knowing that he couldn't get anything out of him, Lu Xun wasn't that disappointed. Perhaps he had been prepared for this, so he wouldn't be too disappointed if there was no hope.
"Thank you. If you have any news about Jiang Qiao, I hope you can tell me."
Lu Xun turned around and walked very slowly. His tall and thin back made people feel inexplicably sad.
Ye Qingqing suddenly felt very uncomfortable. She shouted, "Lu Xun, don't wait for her."
"Since we've broken up, this is Jiang Qiao's decision. Why do you have to...find her?" Ye Qingqing bit her lip. Although she didn't want to, she had to say one more thing for Lu Xun's future: "What can I do if I find you?"
Jiang Qiao proposed to break up only after receiving money. If Lu Xun found out that she knew this, he would be hurt even more. It would be better to... just let it go.
Her words were too absolute. Lu Xun calmed down a lot: "She contacted you, right?"
“No, no…”
Ye Qingqing's panicked expression did not escape his eyes, so Lu Xun asked again: "What did Jiang Qiao say?"
"She......" Conscience and emotion swayed back and forth on the two ends of the scale.
Ye Qingqing regarded Jiang Qiao as her best friend, but she still had to admit that Jiang Qiao definitely did not act with conscience in this matter.
But then I thought, it's just a relationship, and I have the right to break up at any time.
"Lu Xun." Ye Qingqing paused and said, "If you really want to have a future with her, then... go abroad and make yourself stronger."
Only if you are strong enough can you get what you want. Keep asking questions until you get to the bottom of things, and others will see you as a pesterer.
“……………………”
Lu Xun did not speak. He just stood there as if frozen in time. When there was no one around him, he lowered his eyes and whispered something.
The voice was hollow and hoarse, as if it was spoken to oneself.
One last time, one last time...
The work in the library is tedious, but at least it is quiet. With a salary of more than 3,000 yuan a month, Jiang Qiao thinks this job is pretty good.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Qiao finished cleaning the library's bookshelves as usual, and then waited for the end of the get off work day. When he turned around, he saw the mobile phone beside him flashing.
She blocked Lu Xun's WeChat account. Lu Xun had been sending messages via text messages during this period.
Jiang Qiao didn't reply to any of the messages.
At the beginning, he sent a lot of messages, asking her why they broke up, what he did wrong, where she was, why she dropped out of school,
In the end, he almost begged her to send him a text message to let him know that she was safe.
Perhaps he realized her determination, Lu Xun had stopped sending messages in recent days. Jiang Qiao thought he had given up.
When Jiang Qiao saw the familiar number in his mailbox, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Before she could think clearly, her brain opened the message. There was only one sentence on it: I'm waiting for you at home. If you don't come before 12 o'clock tomorrow night, I won't bother you again.
Jiang Qiao looked at it for a long time.
Lu Xun's meaning was very clear. Before 12 o'clock tomorrow night was her last chance to reconcile with Lu Xun.
After 12 o'clock, she would never have the slightest chance of having Lu Xun.
166 During this period of time, it has finally understood that Jiang Qiao, who is heartless, might really like Lu Xun. It was silent for a while and asked: [Will you go?]
Jiang Qiao didn't say anything, but pressed the delete key.
166 was tactful and did not ask any more questions.
After work, Jiang Qiao did not finish his meal and went back to his rental house to sleep. The rental house was close to the sea, and it had been raining for the past few days, so it was extremely humid. Jiang Qiao's skin was sensitive and he developed many small red rashes. He went to the hospital and got ointment, but it didn't work.
The place where the rash appeared was always itchy at night. Jiang Qiao did not sleep well and was woken up by the itch every once in a while. She got out of bed, turned on the light, took out ice cubes from the refrigerator and applied them directly to the area. She felt much better, and it was finally not as itchy as it was scratching her heart.
There was no moon tonight. Sitting by the window, she could smell the salty and humid sea breeze. She barely fell asleep until the early morning.
She slept too late and missed work. Jiang Qiao asked for leave from the library, put on a big coat and went to the nearby vegetable market to buy vegetables.
After buying some vegetables and eggs, Jiang Qiao went home.
When she got home, she felt bored again. She cleaned the small rental house several times, washed the sheets and quilt covers, and replaced them with new ones.
She cooked her own meal at home, steaming white rice and blanching some green vegetables. The soup looked watery at first glance.
Then, I sat on the edge of the bed in a daze. The sky outside the window gradually darkened and the clock turned round and round.
The phone remained silent.
She didn't know what she was waiting for.
As the time got closer, she felt an irrepressible sense of impatience and panic. She stood up suddenly and paced back and forth in the room.
The clock turned another circle. Jiang Qiao could no longer bear it and ran to the door. When she touched the cold door handle, she felt like she was hit hard. She suddenly came to her senses and remained stiff for a long time without moving.
After a while, the hand holding the door slowly slid down.
…………
The clock struck twelve, and once again, Lu Xun was prepared.
It's easy to give up on someone, to dig them out from the tip of your heart. Apart from feeling a little pain and emptiness, Lu Xun felt that it wasn't that difficult.
But when he saw the roses in the transparent glass at the head of the bed, all the sadness and pain that he had deliberately ignored came out at once.
Lu Xun's eyes were red, and a tear fell to the ground, quickly spreading.
His eyes were red, but they were getting colder and colder, until finally, not a single emotion could be seen.
If you don’t want his… then he doesn’t want it either.
From a quick acquaintance to an embarrassing end, if this was a dream, then he... was grateful to Jiang Qiao for shattering it all with his own hands.
No matter what the reason was for Jiang Qiao to break up, he didn't want to know.
The procedures for studying abroad were not as complicated as he had imagined, and went surprisingly smoothly, as if everything was indicating that he had made the most correct decision.
When Jiang Qiao heard the news from 166, Lu Xun had already boarded a flight to a foreign country.
