Chapter 232: Not leaving him any thoughts
It was already late at night and a light rain was falling outside, but the lights in Yan's house were still on.
Liu Ye sat on the sofa, looking at the wall clock over and over again.
"He's been gone for most of the day, why hasn't he come back yet?" Liu Ye frowned and muttered softly.
Seeing her fidgeting, Yan Jianguo said, "They are both adults now. They can take responsibility for the choices they make and the paths they take."
This is the truth, but ever since Yan Ye told her that Xu Xiaoyue was pregnant, she has been feeling guilty.
Xu Xiaoyue's running away from home this time was probably caused by the conversation with her.
Liu Ye had mixed feelings at the moment. On the one hand, she felt it was a pity to have missed Yu Qianqian in vain. On the other hand, she was worried that Xu Xiaoyue might really encounter some accident outside.
The child in her belly is also from the Yan family. If anything happens to him, she will not be able to face her deceased mother-in-law.
Yan Jianguo still doesn’t know that Xu Xiaoyue is pregnant. He thinks that the two young people are having a conflict, so Xu Xiaoyue ran away from home.
When Yan Ye came back, it was already one o'clock in the morning.
The black hair on the man's forehead was completely wet by the rain, and his eyelashes were wet.
The continuous drizzle slowly soaked the man's coat, and when he stepped into the door, there were traces of water all over the place.
He seemed to have walked all the way back from the train station.
"How is it, is there any result?"
When Liu Ye saw the man, she stood up impatiently. When her eyes met the expression on the man's face, the stone in her heart sank.
"No."
When Yan Ye said this, his tone was calm, even without any ups and downs.
But the calmer she was, the heavier Liu Ye's heart felt.
She had seen with her own eyes how her brother-in-law went crazy because of Xu Xiaoyue in the hospital.
Even when she was going to the train station, she didn't dare look directly at him because of the hope in his eyes.
Yan Ye’s current state is more like he has faced the reality and is disheartened.
Liu Ye pursed her lips and took the blanket from the sofa and covered the man's shoulders with it.
"Why don't you go upstairs and take a shower and change your clothes, then we can discuss what to do."
Yan Ye lowered his eyes, looked at the ground vaguely, and did not respond.
Yan Jianguo couldn't bear to see him losing his mind because of love, "You are almost 30 years old. Are you ready to sacrifice your life for a woman?"
Yan Ye opened his mouth and said, "Brother, I just want to be alone."
His voice sounded a little shaky, unlike the calmness before, and there was a hint of imperceptible brokenness in it.
His mind was in a mess right now and he didn't even have the energy to spare.
All I was thinking about was Xu Xiaoyue.
She seemed to really hate herself. She was obviously very timid and even had to seek psychological counseling many days in advance before staying at the school. But she still bought a train ticket and left without any hesitation.
She sentenced him to death without leaving him any time to think.
Yan Jianguo wanted to say something else, but his eyes fell on the man's trembling body.
After his parents left, he was the one who raised Yan Ye.
This was the first time in all these years that he had seen his brother so broken.
Yan Jianguo would rather be pointed at and scolded by the neighbors in the yard than pick Xu Xiaoyue up and let her and Yan Ye be a relationship.
No one knows a brother better than his brother. If Xu Xiaoyue really had any accident outside, he had no doubt that Yan Ye would commit suicide and follow others.
It is said that the Yan family is full of romantic people.
His mother was exposed as the daughter of a capitalist. She always felt that she was a burden to them and died when he started a family.
Not long after my mother passed away, my father became depressed and passed away.
Yan Jianguo didn't expect that his younger brother, who usually seemed cold-hearted and didn't care much about love, was actually a romantic man.
After all, we are a family. Seeing Yan Ye like this, I couldn't bear it.
"Listen to your sister-in-law, go upstairs and have a good wash and sleep first."
"Tomorrow, I'll go to the station with you to check if we can find any other clues."
"I've already told the Public Security Bureau, but the locals don't have much contact with us, so they probably won't need this line anymore."
Yan Jianguo still didn't understand. Xu Xiaoyue, a seemingly well-behaved girl, had such a strong character that she could run away from home and leave the capital directly after a quarrel.
"Yeah, thanks bro."
Yan Ye said in a calm tone that he had also thought about what Yan Jianguo could think of.
If he could go back on time that day, he would slap himself a few times instead of saying anything to hurt Xu Xiaoyue.
Now all of this is his own fault and he can't blame anyone else.
"Okay, come upstairs and take a nice hot bath."
"Xiaoyue is also a smart child. She was able to come to the capital from the countryside by herself. Now she will never let herself suffer any loss."
"I'll also ask for leave from the hospital tomorrow, and we'll go to the station to see if there are any clues."
Liu Ye said this, looking at the clothes on Yan Ye.
The man had just come back from outside. His exposed hands looked extremely pale from the cold. He exhaled white air every time he spoke. His face was extremely stiff and sickly pale, but his lips were bright red.
Yan Ye's whole body was numb and painful, and his heart felt like it had been cut open by a knife and blood was oozing out. He could no longer feel the cold.
Even so, when Liu Ye showed concern for him, the corners of his mouth formed an extremely stiff smile.
"Okay, I'll go upstairs first."
Liu Ye looked at the man's back and felt a little regretful.
If she had known that her brother-in-law had such deep feelings for Xu Xiaoyue, she would not have bothered to get involved between the two of them for Yu Qianqian.
After all, what she did was not fair.
Liu Ye wanted to apologize, but every time she saw the man's distraught look, she really couldn't open her mouth.
"What a sin, what a sin."
This was the only bad thing she had ever done in her life.
Yan Ye went upstairs, but did not take a shower immediately. He sat on the sofa and stared blankly at the dressing table in the bedroom.
He bought it specially from a state-owned supermarket not long ago.
He always felt that Xu Xiaoyue would be useful to him if they got married in the future.
In fact, the girl really liked it. When she bought it, she couldn't help looking at it left and right and touching it. Her eyes were sparkling and she praised him sweetly.
To say good things about others means that they are wealthy.
Yan Ye closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, there were still tears in his eyes.
His head was about to explode. He reached into the drawer and fumbled around, desperately wanting a cigarette to ease his mood.
Yan Ye forgot that he had thrown away all the cigarettes and lighters in the room on the first day Xu Xiaoyue moved in.
I didn't touch the cigarette, but my fingertips felt something like paper, a very thin piece.
