Lu Yiming took four buses before he arrived at the Construction Corps where Li Xuejiao was.
It has snowed very thickly here, and the north wind is blowing hard, feeling like a knife on people's faces.
Lu Yiming put the luggage at the door.
Looking at the place that he had come several times but never dared to enter, he felt a little scared.
He lit a cigarette, and after he finished smoking it, he mustered up the courage to step forward and said to the soldier on duty: "Hello, comrade, could you please notify Li Xuejiao of the Second Division for me? I am her family member and I am here to visit her."
"Okay, please wait a moment." The soldier made a call, and about half an hour later, Li Xuejiao hurried out.
The two hadn't seen each other for five years. Li Xuejiao was wearing a big cotton-padded jacket. She was dark and thin, and her hair had lost its former luster. She looked like a different person.
Lu Yiming stared at her blankly, and suddenly his eyes turned red. How much suffering did this damn girl have to endure here to become like this?
He hated himself so much now that he wanted to slap himself twice, wondering why he had divorced her in the first place.
As a man, why would he be angry with his wife?
When Li Xuejiao heard that a family member was looking for her, she thought it was her parents coming to see her, so she asked for leave and hurried out.
Unexpectedly, the person standing at the door was Lu Yiming.
Li Xuejiao stood there in a daze.
One of them was inside the door, and the other was outside, and they just stood there looking at each other.
The two of them didn't know how long they looked at each other, until the guard couldn't stand it anymore and coughed, and then Li Xuejiao reacted.
She said nothing and turned and left.
Lu Yiming just looked at her and saw that she was so cruel that she ignored him.
He shouted angrily, "Li Xuejiao, let me tell you, I will not leave. If you ignore me, I will freeze to death here. You know my temper. I will keep my word."
But Li Xuejiao was not threatened by him. She continued to walk forward without even turning her head. After a while, she disappeared.
Lu Yiming knew that the silly girl wouldn't calm down so quickly, so he had already arranged all the follow-up work before he came.
If he can't bring the person back, he will stay here. He won't go alone anyway.
Lu Yiming sat on the luggage, staring straight inside.
Seeing that it was getting late, the soldier at the door advised him, "Comrade, since they don't want to see you, leave quickly. If you are any later, there will be no bus back."
Lu Yiming didn't say anything, just shook his head, sat there smoking, and let the north wind blow on his face.
Li Xuejiao came to the dormitory in a daze, forgetting that she had not yet gotten off work.
She sat on the kang, thinking about the person who suddenly appeared, and suddenly tears of grievance fell like rain.
Li Xuejiao really couldn't understand why they were quarreling all day long after they got married when they were so sweet before?
She knew in her heart that Lu Yiming had not changed his mind, and neither did she. However, life had become so bad.
Li Xuejiao already knew that Huang Panpan had a crush on Lu Yiming, but she didn't care because Lu Yiming didn't respond to her and was particularly annoyed with Huang Panpan.
That day, Huang Panpan walked down the street holding Lu Yiming's arm, obviously to irritate her. Li Xuejiao was also aware of this.
And her quarrel with Lu Yiming that day was not just because of this matter.
Perhaps, it was more of the aftermath of a heated argument between the two the night before.
But the quarrel between the two that night was not about anything serious.
Li Xuejiao recalled the day of their divorce. She deliberately provoked Lu Yiming and forced him to sign because she didn't want to argue with him like this anymore.
Li Xuejiao knew very well that if they continued to live like that, over time, both of them would become hateful and it would be only a matter of time before they separated.
She couldn't accept that the two of them had come to that point.
Li Xuejiao was lying on the kang. Thinking of the harsh words Lu Yiming had just said, she punched the kang twice in anger.
He cursed Lu Yiming for being shameless, saying his temper had not changed at all and he was still the same as before.
But Li Xuejiao couldn't just watch him freezing outside, so she thought for a moment and went to find a male colleague with whom she had a good relationship.
"Ding Bo, can I ask you a favor?" Li Xuejiao asked directly.
Ding Bo smiled good-naturedly, "What's the matter? Tell me?"
"Can you be my date for two days?"
"What?" Ding Bo thought he had heard it wrong. Seeing that Li Xuejiao didn't seem to be joking, he quickly shook his head.
"No, no, I don't like you. I don't want to be with you. You're so fierce."
Li Xuejiao glared at him, "Do you think I like you? Look at how you look, with a big nose, small eyes, and a short body like a winter melon. I'm not blind, so how could I date you?"
Ding Bo was ridiculed by her, but he was not angry. Instead, he felt relieved.
It’s good that Li Xuejiao didn’t like him. He doesn’t like such a fierce woman.
Although Li Xuejiao is good-looking, he would not date her. She is too fierce and he is afraid of getting beaten.
Ding Bo patted his head good-temperedly and asked with a smile: "Then what did you say just now that I want to be your partner?"
He wanted to ask Li Xuejiao if she had a crush on him, but he was afraid that if he asked, this vicious woman would stick to him again and he would not be able to get rid of her, so he did not dare to say it.
"Is there something wrong with your ears? I'm not telling you this, I'm asking you to be my date for two days to help me out."
Li Xuejiao wanted to find someone else because of his cowardly look.
How could he, with his stupid look, deceive that fox Lu Yiming?
But Li Xuejiao thought about it and felt that only Ding Bo was the most reliable.
She took out a dollar and a snack ticket from her pocket and said, "I won't let you help me for nothing. These are your rewards. It's just two days. Once I send the people away, we'll go our separate ways."
Ding Bo took it with a smile and confirmed with her again, "Let's make it clear that this is fake and we can't let too many people know about it, otherwise it will affect my chances of finding a partner in the future."
Li Xuejiao rolled her eyes at him and said impatiently, "Don't worry, even if others see us together, they won't think we are dating."
Ding Bo thought about it and realized that everyone knew that he had a good temper and it was impossible for him to fall in love with Li Xuejiao, a tigress. So he was relieved.
In fact, Li Xuejiao also thought so in her heart. There was nothing wrong with her, so how could she fall for Ding Bo, a sissy?
She felt that even if the two of them hugged each other, others would think they were good friends.
After the two of them discussed the matter, Li Xuejiao took him to the door.
When they were almost there, she was afraid that Lu Yiming would not believe her, so she affectionately took Ding Bo's arm.
This action scared Ding Bo, and he quickly pulled his arm away, "What are you doing? Don't touch me, what if people see me and misunderstand me? I still need to find a partner in the future."
Li Xuejiao was thrown aside by him and gritted her teeth in anger, "Ding Bo, you came here to help me out and took my money and tickets. Can you please have some professional ethics?"
Ding Bo felt a little regretful. He didn't know why he still had to hug her.
He was very reluctant. After thinking about it, he took out the money and tickets from his pocket and returned them to Li Xuejiao.
"You should find someone else. I can't do this job." After saying that, he ran away.
If you don’t know, you might think there is a monster chasing him.
