Listen to advice and eat your fill
Mujin Station.
"This time, I really have to say goodbye. It seems like I am saying goodbye to everything one by one."
"Qiyue, let's go, it's time to check the tickets."
"Okay, got it."
Most of the luggage has been mailed, and now the two of them are traveling light, feeling extremely relaxed and comfortable. Chu Zhiyi happily pushed his and Qi Yue's suitcases towards the train heading "home".
Chu Zhiyi, who was sitting in the car, was still chattering non-stop.
"Qiyue, what did you do yesterday? You said you had something to do and didn't even eat with me."
Qi Yue smiled without saying anything, closed her eyes and concentrated.
Chu Zhiyi knew that Qi Yue was getting carsick again, and once again covered Qi Yue with his coat.
Yesterday in July, I did nothing. I just stayed quietly at Mu Jin's house all day. I was alone, cleaning the place where I had lived for three years from sunrise to sunset, as my final farewell.
"Goodbye, Mu Jin."
After New Year's Day, I went back to the studio and reported that in order to reward all the Mujin staff for their efforts over the past three years, everyone would have three months of paid leave, from now until March.
After returning to his department and saying hello, Qi Yue came to the door and looked up at the sky in the distance. It turned out that it was still cloudy.
People downstairs look up, and people upstairs look down.
"You are looking at the sky, and I am looking at you."
This year's New Year was spent at my uncle's house. It seemed like Qi Yue had no home since her father passed away. She spent the New Year either at her aunt's house or at her uncle's house.
In the first few years after Lan's father passed away, Qiyue disliked the New Year. She would retreat to her uncle's or aunt's house on New Year's Eve, never seeing anyone outside her family. She wouldn't go to any gatherings except with close relatives. Even if it was a family gathering, if Qiyue didn't feel close to anyone, she wouldn't go.
How can I not feel sad when I see others living happily together? Qi Yue’s family was like this before!
It is so harmonious and beautiful, and so blissful.
After the Chinese New Year, Qiyue and Lanmu returned to their home. Qiyue wanted to have a good rest at home before going to work.
"It seems like I haven't stayed at home for a long time. After I go back to work, I probably won't come back often except for sacrifices."
Just as Qi Yue was looking through old items in the bedroom, her cell phone rang.
"Qiyue, it's been a while since we last met. I'm working in Jinghuai now. I finally came back for the New Year, so let's get together."
Qi Yue, who originally didn't want to go, was shocked when she saw Xiao Ziyi. It was Xiao Ziyi who, even though more than 20 years had passed and people around him had come and gone, had not forgotten his old friend Qi Yue.
"Then what do you want to eat? I'll book a place in advance."
"What we eat isn't important. The most important thing is meeting old friends I haven't seen in a while. This is the first time we've met in person since we graduated from high school!"
"It turns out that so much time has passed." Qi Yue thought.
"Let's go eat kebabs! I want to eat."
"good."
This is Xiao Ziyi, the Xiao Ziyi who always responds to Qi Yue’s requests.
~~~
Qiyue booked a skewer shop which was not big but had very delicious food.
Youth Tavern.
Qi Yue walked back and forth nervously in the corridor of the tavern.
"We haven't seen each other for a long time. I don't know what to say when we meet. Will it be awkward?" Qi Yue thought.
The white snow on the street looked particularly dazzling under the illumination of colorful lights, and the person coming slowly from a distance looked like a scholar, just as he did before.
"Long time no see, Qiyue."
"No way, I was sending a WeChat message just a minute ago."
"You haven't changed at all, you're the same as when we were in school."
"You talk as if you're old, but you're young too."
"Qi Yue, are you okay now?" A Yi asked with some embarrassment, but with great concern.
"It seems that you know about my affairs." Qi Yue thought for a moment.
"Don't worry, you can still hold on."
Xiao Ziyi understood the simple words.
Ayi didn't ask any more questions, but just looked carefully at the friend in front of him whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
"Qiyue, have you noticed that as long as you want us, we are always here."
"Yes, during this period, whenever there was something I couldn't solve, the leaders in various fields and my classmates, as long as I sent a message, you always responded as soon as possible. It's just me who trapped myself." Qi Yue secretly thanked her classmates while fiddling with the cup to fill water.
"Oh, I know. Isn't that why I'm also making progress bit by bit? Otherwise, I'd be so useless if I were suppressed by you PhDs and Masters."
"You're still talking about that? I told you there was an easy way out, but you didn't choose it. You insisted on choosing the difficult one. I don't know what you were thinking. You didn't listen to me at all."
"Oh, stop talking. I get it. This is just this once. I will definitely listen to advice from others in the future."
Listen to advice and eat your fill.
Qi Yue ate extra much today, not because of anxiety or nervousness, but because she met someone she liked, so she felt that today's skewers were extra delicious.
As usual, there was still some pushing and shoving when paying the bill.
"Ayi, you have to be obedient."
Seeing that he couldn't win against Qi Yue, he had to give up.
"Don't give me a gift. I'm already downstairs. It's so cold. You should go back quickly. This is for you. It's a gift for you."
"Hey, you're so nice to me. I didn't bring you any gifts."
"Oh, you're quite particular."
"Xiao Ziyi, drink water on time and take good care of yourself when you are working. My good friend, I want to walk with you all the way in the future." This is Qi Yue's most sincere advice to her best friend.
When Xiao Ziyi returned home, he looked at the water cup in front of him and smiled unconsciously.
"Qiyue, I wish we had been together back then. How did you get through those difficult times? You don't seem very happy now. I won't be absent from you in the future."
The next day, Lan's mother prepared hot pot at home, which was Qi Yue's favorite hot pot.
The hotpot for two people was really deserted.
"Yueyue, your aunt said there's a boy your age from a wealthy family, and she wants you to go meet him."
Qi Yue continued eating without saying anything.
Seeing that her daughter didn't say anything and didn't object too much, Lan's mother mistakenly thought that her daughter had listened to her, so she kept nagging and talking a little more.
With a "crack", Qi Yue broke the chopsticks in her hand, and the residue passed through Qi Yue's hand, leaving a red mark.
At this time, Qi Yue closed her eyes, trembled all over, and kept sobbing. The coldness came again.
"Why, Mom? I don't want to think about these sad things anymore. Why do you keep bringing them up? Do you think I won't feel heartbroken?"
When Lan's mother saw her daughter at this moment, she was also confused. Now, if her daughter was even a little unhappy, for Lan's mother, she would be a little scared. She was afraid that her daughter's extreme behavior would hurt herself, and she felt more heartbroken.
"Mom, are you trying to force me to death? Why do you always force me to find a boyfriend? Isn't it good for me to be alone? I don't have a father anymore. If you force me to get married, then if I get bullied one day, who will support me?"
"My brother? He can't even take care of himself right now, so why would you go? But what can you do, Mom? Can you let me endure it?"
"Why don't you understand me? Why are you all so self-righteously treating me well? Have you ever thought about what I really want?"
"I just want my dad to come back. Can you do that? If you can, I'll marry you. If you can't, what should I do? Are you going to watch me die? Is this the result you want? If you do, I'll satisfy you."
"Yueyue, don't be angry or cry. That's not what Mom meant. I just thought I was old and couldn't be with you for long. I wanted to find a good boy to accompany you for the rest of your life. We don't care much about family matters. As long as he's a good person and treats you well, I'll be relieved."
"Be good to me, Mom. If someone who's good to me always hurts me, stabbing me in the same spot over and over again, and then leaves me to lick my wounds by myself, and then has to put on a forced smile and tell everyone 'Don't worry, I'm fine, I'm fine,' then your Lan family's standards for choosing a son-in-law are really low."
"Why, now that my father is gone, am I going to be at the mercy of others?"
"Also, you said you're old and can't stay with me for long. Then I'll stay with you. After you're a hundred years old, I'll send you away and leave you to live out your life alone. This way, I won't be sad for a long time because someone comes and goes by my side."
Qi Yue cried more and more sadly, as if she wanted to pour out all her grievances at once. Mother Lan was at a loss at this time and could only sit quietly and accompany her daughter.
After an unknown amount of time, Qi Yue, whose hands and feet were numb and eyes were closed, finally opened her eyes. She returned to the bedroom without saying a word, holding the bracelet left by her father in her hand, and slept from dawn to dusk.
"It would be nice if I could sleep forever."
"Yueyue, Yueyue."
"Who is it, who is calling me again, it's dad, it's my dad."
After hearing her father's voice, Qi Yue opened her eyes. White walls, white sheets, this was the ward.
"dad."
"Where is Daddy? Don't be afraid. I'm right here."
"Dad, what are you doing?" Qi Yue asked puzzledly as she looked at the noodles in her father's hand.
"Dad, I know you love noodles, but this is a hospital ward. Your body won't allow you to eat noodles. They're very hard."
Father Lan continued to smile without saying anything, and then a man walked in from the door.
Lin Lei.
"What are you doing here? Get out of here. This is not a place for you. Don't pollute my father's eyes."
"Hey, can't you hear me? How dare you sit here?"
Neither of them seemed to hear what Qi Yue said. Lin Lei sat at the table eating noodles, while Father Lan sat on the hospital bed, looking at his daughter with a smile on his face.
"Dad, please drive him away."
"dad."
The sunlight outside the ward was too dazzling today. It shone into the room, making all the white decorations reflect a sacred light, making Qi Yue feel as if she was in heaven.
Except for Lin Lei who ruined the mood.
Just as Qi Yue was immersed in this holy environment, Lin Lei stood up, opened the door of the ward without looking back, and walked out.
"It's rude."
"Dad, why don't you say anything?"
Father Lan still sat on the bed with a smile on his face, looking at his daughter, just looking and looking, quietly looking.
