Chen Muyun walked downstairs to his house, looked at the light in the window, and did not move.
During this time, the light that awaited him meant privacy, excitement, and unbridled joy.
He couldn't stop again and again. But at this moment, when he looked at the lamp again with red eyes and gloomy face, he suddenly felt disgusted, bored, and even a little resentful.
He turned and left.
Chen Muyun drove to the riverside, found an empty corner, took a bottle of wine from the trunk, and drank it in big gulps.
After drinking half a bottle, tears rolled down his face and he thrust his hands into his hair in pain. The 26-year-old man was like a trapped beast with nowhere to go.
Chen Muyun returned home in the middle of the night. Ruan Qingling was still awake. She was lying on the sofa. She ran over barefoot, supported him, and asked softly, "Did you drink? Ah, why did you drink so much? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Chen Muyun said nothing and let her help him to the bed. She was as obedient as a concubine. She took off his coat, shoes, and socks, pulled the quilt over him, brought him a cup of warm water, and fed him two sips. He brought a basin of hot water and wiped his face and hands.
Chen Muyun kept his head down and eyes closed, as if he was drunk to death. After Ruan Qingling finished all this and let him lie flat on the bed, he raised his hand, pressed his painful forehead, and said hoarsely: "You can go."
Ruan Qingling paused, and her voice became gentler: "Brother, what's wrong with you? What happened? Are you unhappy?"
Chen Muyun was silent for a while, then suddenly burst into tears without warning, murmuring, "She wants to break up with me... Ruan Qingling, she knows about us, she doesn't want me anymore, I'm done..."
The drunk and heartbroken man looked so fragile and miserable. Chen Muyun seemed to have forgotten that the person he was talking to was also his woman.
He held his head and cried, telling her intermittently what happened today, every heartless word the other girl said, saying how much he had loved her with all his heart over the years, and that she was the only love of his life, so how could he live without her?
Ruan Qingling listened quietly, so quietly that she became numb. She held his hand, gently stroked his forehead, listened patiently, and soothed him with soft words.
Occasionally, a sarcastic smile with a hint of coldness would appear at the corner of her mouth - he couldn't notice it anyway.
She even coaxed him, saying, "Don't worry, go find her tomorrow, she will definitely forgive you."
"She will never forgive me."
"Yes, I will go with you to find her. I will help you. Just tell her that it was me who took the initiative and that I seduced you. She is the only one you love in your heart."
He immediately grasped her hand: "Really? You are willing to help me?"
"Of course, I love you so much, I just want you to be well."
The man, who was comforted and assured, finally fell into a deep sleep. It was nearly one in the morning. Ruan Qingling hugged her knees and sat on the bay window, looking at the quiet and dark night of the city. Her eyes were empty, and she slowly smiled.
However, Ruan Qingling still underestimated how much Chen Muyun valued Ruan Qingqing. The next morning, when she opened her eyes, she found the bed next to her was empty.
She got up suddenly, looked around, and found that he had taken a shower, changed his clothes, and took the car keys away.
Ruan Qingling grabbed the pillow and threw it on the ground. After a while, she calmed down and realized that she must not call or text him directly at this time. She called his office number.
A girl answered the phone. Ruan Qingling asked politely, "Hello, I want to talk to Chen Muyun's secretary."
The other party replied: "Secretary Chen has asked for leave today. Where are you from?"
Ruan Qingling: "Oh, then I'll call his cell phone."
After hanging up the phone, Ruan Qingling had a cold face. He thought for a while, went downstairs, took a taxi, and went to the nursing home.
Ruan Qingqing put down her phone, but Zeng Xi's phone was still turned off.
She hardly slept the whole night, and only dozed off for a while when it was almost dawn. At this time, her head was aching and she felt dizzy, but she couldn't contact Zeng Xi, and she became more and more uneasy.
According to Zheng Tao and other staff members, Zeng Xi went out early yesterday morning, carrying only a bag with some spare clothes.
In the afternoon, she sent me a text message saying that she wanted to go to Guangdong for a few days this weekend to visit her parents.
Although his uncle and staff found it sudden, Zeng Xi had always wanted to go to Guangdong to work and reunite with his parents. Plus, the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day are coming soon, which is understandable.
After confirming the news last night, Ruan Qingqing felt strange. Zeng Xi has always wanted to go to Guangdong, but that is something for the future. I haven’t heard her mention it recently. Ruan Qingqing immediately called Zeng Xi, but found that her phone was turned off.
Ruan Qingqing recalled how they parted unhappily that day, and how she came to her to reconcile later. She had just discovered that Chen Muyun had cheated on her, and had no intention of facing her at all.
A feeling of guilt rose in her heart, and she wondered, could it be that Zeng Xi really went to Guangdong in a fit of anger?
Ruan Qingqing ignored it and went back to her room. But when I think about it carefully, I feel that this matter is strange.
Zeng Xi had quarreled with her, but they had a deep relationship. Ruan Qingqing felt that Zeng Xi would not leave without saying goodbye just because of this.
The Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day that Zeng Xi has been looking forward to for a long time is coming soon. She has been helping Ruan Qingqing prepare for the party for some time. And her birthday is coming up.
Zeng Xigang met a man she liked in Huaicheng.
At this juncture, Zeng Xi didn't say hello to anyone in advance, suddenly carried a simple luggage, ignored everything, and went to Guangdong?
Even if you go to Guangdong, why turn off your cell phone?
So late last night, Ruan Qingqing, who had already lay down on the bed, sat up again. She went to Zeng Xi's room.
…
As time went by, Ruan Qingqing discovered more and more suspicious details, and everything indicated that Zeng Xi could not have gone to Guangdong alone.
She began to worry about Zeng Xi's safety. However, after a whole night of searching and seeking help, she kept hitting a wall and got nothing. No one believed her guesses and concerns.
So after dawn, Ruan Qingqing carried a bag. She didn't want to sit and wait anymore and wanted to go find it herself.
As a result, as soon as she walked out of the nursing home, she heard a burst of laughter. She looked up and saw Chen Muyun leaning against the car, talking to Zheng Tao and an aunt from the center.
Zheng Tao and his aunt had smiles on their faces, and Chen Muyun was also smiling. He looked over, and Ruan Qingqing saw the blue in his eyes and the difficulty behind his smile.
Zheng Tao said: "Qingqing, Mu Yun came to see you a long time ago. He was afraid of disturbing your sleep, so he kept waiting. He is a civil servant and even took a leave to pick you up to play.
You should also go out and have some fun, so that you don't keep thinking about random things all day and thinking of the bad things. Mu Yun, don’t you think so? ”
Zheng Tao was talking about what happened to Zeng Xi last night, but Chen Muyun didn't know. He was slightly startled, then showed a grateful look and said to Zheng Tao solemnly: "Uncle Zheng, you are right. I will accompany Qingqing well, and I will treat her better in the future, please rest assured."
