The hazy sky was accompanied by a cool breeze, and the oppressive black clouds were so close that it was almost suffocating. There was thunder rolling in the sky, and it looked like a mountain rain was about to come.
On the streets of Taocheng County, people are walking in a hurry for fear of encountering heavy rain.
Next to a tall poplar tree on the street, a figure looked particularly lonely and desolate.
At this time, Yu Yan had a stubble on his face, his hair was unkempt, and his clothes smelled of inferior alcohol. Even beggars would shy away from him when they saw him. Careful people could see from his eyes that this man must have not had a good sleep for a few nights.
He fell asleep, his tall body showing indescribable fatigue.
At this time, "In Memory of Love" by Richard Clayderman was playing on the street radio. The music was melodious and beautiful, gentle and light. The music was pleasant to the ear. Yu Yan raised his head and looked towards the sky, his eyes fixed on a certain point in the sky.
At one place, I don't know what touched a sensitive nerve in him.
Yu Yan smiled bitterly and said his first words in two days, "Only when you have been drunk do you know how strong the wine is, and when you have been in love, you know how important it is. Yang Yi, you are so cruel!"
Yu Yan, who was in a state of desolation, had a bitterness and helplessness that was difficult for others to understand. He could only say that fate had played a trick on him and his luck was bad.
The 24-year-old Yu Yan graduated from the Chinese Department of San Lu University. In 1991, college students were regarded as the proud ones who pointed the country. As a top student who graduated from the first university in San Lu Province, Yu Yan could have received the highest honors with excellent results.
There were only a few places left to work in the provincial capital, but he could not let go of his hometown feelings and resolutely returned to his hometown to develop. He was assigned to the Taocheng County Culture and Education Bureau and was responsible for teaching reform experiments in the Teaching and Research Office.
However, he had the ambition to travel across the world and was ready to do something big. After working in Taocheng County for a year, he was caught off guard by reality.
Especially after the deputy section of the county party committee was replaced by Ren Zhi, who only had a technical secondary school education, the old days of having everyone carry the sedan chair are no longer the norm.
The top student in the university flew down three thousand feet, but the embarrassing situation of being unable to achieve a high level has gradually become a source of laughter for others before dinner and after tea.
Of course, it's not just because of these that he's in such embarrassment today. The last straw was a phone call from his college classmate Sun Sisi last night, telling him that his girlfriend of three years in college, Yang Yi, was engaged to someone else!
Sun Sisi also told him that in fact, Yang Yi had been engaged for more than a week, and she still didn't know how to talk to him, so she told him through Sun Sisi that Yang Yi's original words were that since they can't give each other the future they want, it's better to get together.
Come on, don’t blame her for being cruel, just blame the cold world, forget the past!
Yu Yan couldn't believe what he heard. He and Yang Yi had always had a good relationship. The two met in a poetry competition at the university. At that time, Yang Yi was attracted by Yu Yan's talent and literary talent. From then on, the two began to fall in love.
It was a three-year love affair. After graduation, the two separated. Yang Yi chose to stay at a newspaper in the provincial capital as an editor, while Yu Yan decided to return to his hometown for development. They had a quarrel about this, but neither one could convince the other.
After hanging up the phone from Sun Sisi, Yu Yan hurriedly called Yang Yi. He urgently wanted to know the truth. The phone beeped for a long time but no one answered. Yu Yan seemed to understand. Looking at the quiet night, thoughts flashed in his mind.
After spending three years in college with Yang Yi, every detail of it, Sun Sisi's words echoed in his ears over and over again. Yu Yan felt as if his throat was blocked by something, and he couldn't say what he wanted to say. Unknowingly, Yu Yan felt more and more
Yan cried, as if the whispering was right next to his ears, but it drifted away for a moment and then flew away again.
How he hoped that this was just a dream, or even just one made up by someone else to fool him, but he knew that he and Sun Sisi were just acquaintances, and they would not make such a joke.
It was all true, he was dumped! Yes, in the most painful way!
Will Yang Yi be forced by others? This thought flashed through his mind, and he quickly dismissed this self-deception. What a bleak world! He couldn't see through or understand what was happening in front of him, and he couldn't understand it.
If you want to think about it, he hates it!
As the saying goes, blessings never come in pairs and misfortunes never come singly. Suffering the double blow of career and love, Yu Yan almost collapsed. Reason told him that he could not fail, and the scholarly spirit he developed in college always reminded him that even if he failed, he would never succeed.
If you want to lose, you must be convinced; even if you want to lose, you must lose with humiliation and not be surprised!
However, for any strong person, he has his most vulnerable point. Yang Yi is the softness in his heart. He cannot accept Yang Yi's betrayal of love. This feeling is like being stabbed in the back by the person closest to him.
It was uncomfortable. At this time, his heart was like a knife, and his heart was bleeding! For Yu Yan, it was very difficult to get over this hurdle. If he couldn't get over it, he might be depressed for the rest of his life.
He has been drinking since he learned about this. He would fall asleep when he was drunk, and drink again when he woke up. Unfortunately, by the end of the day, he was far away from being drunk.
He couldn't remember exactly how much he drank. He only remembered that he was hungry this morning and came to the street.
Looking at the strangers on the road, Yu Yan felt more redundant and lonely than ever before. He leaned against the old poplar tree, which became his most loyal and trustworthy friend.
He also didn't go to work for a few days, and he didn't bother to report on the excuse of being sick. Maybe everyone knew that he was in a bad mood, so they just turned a blind eye to work.
