Su Mingyu had walked through the lanes in Delhi countless times. The distance from the Su family's old house to the main road outside was only a few hundred meters or a few minutes away. However, Su Mingyu walked especially slowly this time. She really wanted to hear a familiar voice from behind.
Rings.
"Mingyu, come back!"
One step at a time, the alleyway to Delhi was very short. Even though Su Mingyu slowed down her speed as much as possible, she was almost at the end. The scene she was looking forward to did not appear. There were only whispers from the neighbors passing by.
"Hey (second voice), isn't this Mingyu, the youngest son of the Su family? What's wrong?"
"What else can she do? She must have been scolded by her cruel mother!"
"Hey! What a sinner! None of the three children of the Su family is bad, but this mother, alas, is a sinner!"
"Isn't that right? If this little girl were born in my family, she wouldn't die!"
…………
"Mingyu, what's wrong with you?"
…………
"Tell grandma and she will make the decision for you!"
There were also enthusiastic neighbors who came forward to comfort Su Mingyu, but these were not what she wanted most. The enthusiasm of the neighbors was in sharp contrast with the indifference of her family. Su Mingyu walked to the entrance of the alley, turned around and took one last look at the familiar path.
At this time, a cloud passed through the sky, and the originally bright streets suddenly became dim, but the sun was still shining outside, as warm as ever. The broken sunlight seemed to divide the inside and outside of the alley into two distinct worlds.
Su Mingyu reached out and wiped away her tears, restrained her emotions, and took the first and last step resolutely.
The avenue outside was busy with traffic and people, and no one noticed Su Mingyu's slightly red and swollen eyes. The sun shone warmly on Su Mingyu's body again, but this warmth could not melt away the coldness in her heart.
Su Mingyu took out her mobile phone from the cloth bag she was carrying, hesitated for a while and made a call. After a while, a male voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Mingyu, why haven't you arrived today? Did something happen on the way? Does it matter? If something happens, it doesn't matter. Don't rush on your way. It doesn't matter if you are a little late. Angkor will not detain you.
It’s your salary.”
At this time, Su Mingyu just wanted to find a place with no one and cry hard. She had no intention of working part-time in the afternoon, so she replied with a slightly choked voice.
"Brother Angkor, can I take a day off this afternoon?"
Wu Ze clearly heard something was wrong in Su Mingyu's tone, and said with concern: "What's wrong, are you okay?"
However, what greeted Wu Ze was a long silence. After a while, Wu Ze said something in a deep voice.
"Okay, I agree!"
When Su Mingyu heard the affirmative answer and was about to hang up the phone, Wu Ze's voice came again.
"Mingyu, I don't know how long you plan to rest, but I will always keep this part-time job for you."
Su Mingyu was slightly moved when she heard this, and said softly: "Thank you, Angkor."
After hanging up the phone, Su Mingyu stopped taking the steps she had just taken. She looked both disappointed and confused. She couldn't find a small space that belonged to her in the huge city of Gusu. For a moment, she didn't know where to go.
where.
In this way, Su Mingyu wandered around aimlessly, not noticing the passage of time at all, until the afterglow faded, and the familiar ringtone of her mobile phone woke her up, and she took out her mobile phone to take a look.
‘Shi Tiandong called.’
"Hey, Mingyu, where are you? I sent you several text messages but no reply. Tell me your location and I'll come find you."
Li Jie finished dinner in Pengcheng at noon, refused Liu Qiming's offer to stay, and took the nearest flight back to Suzhou. He went to Guanqian Street but did not see Su Mingyu, and later sent a few text messages.
, Su Mingyu never replied, and finally learned from Wu Ze that Su Mingyu asked for leave this afternoon.
Abnormal!
This behavior is so abnormal and not Su Mingyu’s style at all, unless it’s because of family matters. Although Su Mingyu keeps saying that she is not from the Su family in the play, she still values her family very much in her heart.
The original work does not clearly mention when Su Mingyu quarreled with Su's mother, but considering today's anomalies, it is not difficult to deduce the facts.
When Su Mingyu heard Li Jie's voice, her eyes couldn't help but become a little moist. Looking around, she realized that she had unknowingly walked near the Waicheng River.
"I'm on Pingsi Road."
"Wait for me there, I'll be there soon!"
After a while, Li Jie arrived at Siping Road and saw Su Mingyu's figure standing alone by the river from a distance, as if she had been abandoned. Her eye circles were slightly red and swollen, and she had obviously just cried.
Li Jie walked up to Su Mingyu without finishing his words, but just stayed by her side quietly. He knew that what Su Mingyu wanted now was not comfort, but companionship.
The two of them stood silently by the river for a long time against the evening breeze. The dim street lights slowly lit up one after another. Li Jie raised his head and glanced at the sky and whispered.
"Are you hungry? Go buy food and cook!"
In addition to buying vegetables, Li Jie also bought a lot of fruits and vegetables this time. There were many types of fruits and vegetables, including kiwis, tomatoes, oranges, bananas, grapes, green apples, and blueberries. He only bought a little bit of each item. Su Mingyu saw something strange and couldn't help but ask.
"Why do you buy so many kinds?"
Li Jie did not answer directly, but smiled mysteriously: "You will know later."
Sadness, grief and anger are very energy-consuming. When a person is in a bad mood, the body will get tired easily. At this time, the brain needs to replenish sugar more, because sugar can produce a large amount of dopamine. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that can make people feel tired.
People feel excited and happy.
Li Jie planned to make a rainbow cake later. At this time, the rainbow cake was not popular yet. It had an ordinary appearance. When it was cut open with a knife, it suddenly showed brilliant colors like a rainbow, and the visual impact was extremely strong.
Not only that, the sun always comes after the storm, and the rainbow is a magical gift from nature. Li Jie also hopes that through this silent communication, he will give Su Mingyu strength and regain hope in life.
Su Mingyu was worried at first about how she would answer if Li Jie asked her what happened. She neither wanted to answer nor fabricate lies to deceive the other party. However, what reassured her was that the other party never asked a word from beginning to end, just
Stay with her silently.
After returning home, Li Jie greeted him briefly and then went into the kitchen. He was going to make dessert first. When he was in the main world, Li Jie had made rainbow cake by himself, and now he was even more comfortable doing it, beating eggs and kneading dough.
Make the cream, color it, and put it in the oven.
bite!
With a ding, the cake is out of the oven.
Li Jie walked into the restaurant carrying the cooled rainbow cake. Su Mingyu was holding a book in her hands as usual. Li Jie did not interrupt, gently put down the plate, and then returned to the kitchen.
The tip of Su Mingyu's nose twitched slightly, and a fresh milky fragrance hit her face.
"Mingyu, please eat some dessert first to fill your stomach. The food will have to wait for a while."
Cutting it open with a knife, when Su Mingyu saw the colorful colors hidden in the cake, her eyes suddenly blurred, and tears burst out of her eyes like a clear spring. Compared with the sadness and anger before, the tears at this time were full of emotion.
