Chapter 171: No lighthouse on the other side!

When I was about to leave, Chen Qingyi stopped me: "Yixi, I'll take you back."

"I'll just take a taxi. Wouldn't you still have to move with your aunt later?" I said.

My mother stopped me: "Don't go back tonight, everything in your room is ready-made."

"Mom... It's not bad for this day. I'm still in my place of living, and I have to go back to get it tomorrow morning." I was finally unhappy. I didn't like my actions being dominated again and again, as if I had no freedom at all.

"Auntie, I'll send you a west back for a while." Chen Qingyi said and winked at me. She was resolving a possible family conflict.

"Mom, I'll leave first. You guys should go early when you finish your work." I finally put away the displeasure in my heart and said.

.........

On the way Chen Qingyi sent me back, I was silent all the time, staring at the night outside the window and losing my mind.

As if seeing through my thoughts, Chen Qingyi said to me: "Yixi, I know I have brought you a lot of troubles."

My attention finally returned to Chen Qingyi from the window. I looked at her slowly for a long time before saying, "No..."

Chen Qingyi shook her head and sighed, and after a moment of silence, she said, "There is something I have been thinking about for a long time..."

"What's up?"

Chen Qingyi struggled for a moment and said, "The provincial government spent a lot of money to create a travel program and invited me to host it."

“Hosted to the exterior or interior?”

“Is this important?”

"The outdoor scene is going to run around the world, I don't want you to be too tired!"

Chen Qingyi said with a little disappointment: "If it's an interior, you want me to take up a job, right?"

I was silent. In fact, I hope Chen Qingyi left Jinan. At least before An Qi and I got married, I didn’t want any unstable factors to appear.

Chen Qingyi had a bitter expression, bit her lips, and she was silent for a long time and whispered in a low voice, "I stand at the end of the sea and the earth... and there is no lighthouse!"

.........

The next day, I spent the rest of my life in peace, but when I was about to get off work, I felt depressed again. According to the prior agreement, today I will move over and live with my parents. I can foresee that I will face endless nagging.

I tried my best to delay in the company, and I didn't tidy up my desk until 8 o'clock to go home.

On the way, I drove absent-mindedly and planned to go to the bar for a few drinks, and continued to delay. But as soon as I turned the front of the car, my aunt's phone suddenly called in.

Although I was reluctant, I answered the phone and my aunt looked in a questioning tone: "Yixi, what's wrong with you and Qingyi?"

I was a little confused: "We didn't know much!"

"No, why did Qingyi leave suddenly? She is packing her luggage now. The flight to Shanghai at 9 o'clock has been booked."

Only then did I remember the conversation between Chen Qingyi and me when I sent me home last night...

"You are talking!" The little aunt's tone turned from anxious to angry.

"There is a travel program in the provincial Taiwan that invites her to host it. She must have accepted the invitation from the station." I said lightly.

"You are a bastard... Yesterday Qingyi had already agreed to move in with us. She suddenly left now and must have something to do with you."

"She has her own career. Now she has decided to do her job. Can I interfere with it?"

"Tell me why she has to do her job back? Is it because she doesn't have enough money to spend?"

"Some people don't have to work for money. Besides, Haijing Coffee is on track now. She has a lot of free time. Now she is working back to the industry she likes, what's wrong with it?"

"Zhang Yixi, I warn you not to be so high-sounding. When Qingyi chatted with me, she expressed to me more than once that she was tired of hosting this industry... I don't care. Come here now and leave Qingyi for me!"

"I respect her choice."

The other end of the phone has lost control: "You are not a thing. If Qingyi had not been supporting you behind your back, would you be like Zhang Yixi today?... Don't lose your duty as a human being!"

For the first time in my life, I was scolded like this by my aunt who loved me the most since I was a child. I couldn't say a word for a long time, even though I felt wronged and angry...

"Are you coming or not?"

"I'm driving, don't talk..." I finally hung up the phone and turned off the phone. I wanted to be quiet for a moment.

I did not go back to my parents' residence or my own residence. I opened a room in the hotel. I knew: At this time, as long as I was found by my angry family, I would face a hysterical reprimand or even scolding that I could not handle.

.........

Lying on the bed in the hotel and lit a cigarette, I seemed to have become a homeless person. I was lonely, lonely, and panic... I have never longed for a family of my own as I am now.

I was a little breathless and tried hard to imagine the marriage life I was about to start with Anqi. Finally, I got some comfort and smoothed my breathing... Now Anqi has become the beacon that I have to find when I look around.

When I opened the curtains and looked at the dying Can Moon outside the window, I finally felt tired and finally fell into sleep.

.........

This night, my sleep quality was very poor, I had a lot of messy dreams, and I woke up with headaches and dizziness. I drank a cup of cold and cold drinks on the coffee table, and finally woke up a little.

After washing up slowly, I finally turned on my phone that had been turned off for a night. The message prompt sound of the missed call sounded overwhelmingly, including my aunt, my mother, my father... It seemed like the black tune was cramping my nerves.

I deleted all the prompt information, patted my head heavily, venting my upset... When I raised my head again, my eyes were on the calendar on the desktop. At this time, the calendar had not turned pages yet. This was a brand new calendar. Only then did I remember that New Year's Day had passed a week ago, and there was only half a month left in the Lunar New Year!

I got up and came to the table, picked up the calendar, looked carefully, and calculated the day of An Qi's return in my heart, but my eyes unexpectedly stopped on today's date. I saw the red words marked: "The Year is in the West, everything is not appropriate...

I looked up at the window habitually. It was raining coldly, and the air was humid and cold. It looked really not a good day.

I mocked my superstition, but my emotions were still suppressed in such a gloomy and humid weather!

After looking at it, it was already 9 o'clock in the morning. I put away all my negative emotions, picked up the briefcase and car keys on the table, and prepared to go to work.

When I arrived at the door, I took out my shoes from the shoe rack, tied the shoelaces on my left foot, and prepared to tie the shoelaces on my right foot. I didn't use much force, but the shoelaces were inexplicably torn apart...

I drove a car and found a shopping mall near the hotel and bought a new pair of shoes. I felt a little more comfortable.

.........

When I arrived at "Sea View Coffee", it was already 9:30 in the morning. I didn't have any extra movements and entered the office as quickly as possible. At 10 o'clock, I had a video conference with the partner of Qingdao "Sea View Coffee".

After preparing all the information, I quickly entered the working state, and then forgot all the troubles in the morning.
