Lin Zhiyi thought angrily, took out her mobile phone and dialed Xiao Ci's number. A mechanical prompt came from the other end: "Sorry, the user you dialed has turned off his phone."
She seemed to have been drained of all her strength. She hugged her knees and huddled on the bed dejectedly. Looking at the sunlight coming in from the window, she felt a little dazzling and her eyes turned red.
But no matter how wronged she was, Xiao Ci couldn't see her. This heartless man would have already boarded the plane.
Lin Zhiyi stayed in this rental house for a long time that day. She had never felt so lonely and in need of a warm embrace as she did now.
But the whole house was empty, and the man she longed for would no longer hug her from behind and wrap her in his arms.
She even had a feeling that Xiao Ci might never come back after leaving this time.
Although he didn't say anything, Lin Zhiyi felt this way.
She spent a day alone feeling sad, and when it got dark, she gathered her mood and returned to her apartment.
At that time, Lu Xining had already returned from get off work.
She was busy in the kitchen, and when she heard the door opening, she popped her head out and asked, "You're back?"
"Yeah." Lin Zhi agreed and then went back to the room.
Lu Xining put the dishes on the table and knocked on the door: "Would you like to eat?"
Lin Zhiyi had already changed her clothes, but her face didn't look good.
"What's wrong?" Lu Xining immediately paid attention.
Lin Zhiyi raised her lips as if she didn't know where to start. Finally she hugged Lu Xining and rested her head on her shoulder before saying, "Xiao Ci has gone abroad."
The fact that she was injured was not hidden from Lu Xining, so Lin Zhiyi stayed at Xiao Ci's place for a few days with peace of mind.
But Lu Xining didn't know that Xiao Ci was going abroad.
"When?" she asked.
"This morning." Lin Zhiyi replied.
"Business trip?" Although I asked this question, I always felt that it was not that simple.
"Expat." Lin Zhiyi said again.
Sure enough, Lin Zhiyi wouldn't be like this if he was only away for a few days.
"Then he didn't discuss it with you?" Lu Xining asked again.
If you want to be assigned abroad, it must not be a temporary decision.
Lin Zhiyi was silent. She didn't know whether she should nod or shake her head.
Because there seems to have been a problem between himself and Xiao Ci, and it is not just a matter of negotiation or non-negotiation.
"Forget it, let's eat." Lin Zhiyi let her go and sat down at the dining table pretending to be cool.
Lu Xining picked up some food for her.
Lin Zhiyi put it in his mouth, chewed it twice and then stopped, as if he couldn't swallow it.
Lu Xining could tell that she had no appetite, so he didn't try to dissuade her. Because he knew better that it would be hard to eat if she couldn't, and it would be even more uncomfortable if she couldn't digest it.
After dinner, the two of them turned on the TV, and the table was filled with snacks and beer. All Lu Xining could do at this time was to accompany him.
She wanted to make Lin Zhiyi happy, so she specially chose a comedy, which was quite funny at the beginning.
Lin Zhiyi watched it very seriously at first and laughed very happily. But as the plot turned around and reached the touching part, Lin Zhiyi started to cry, and the trend got out of hand.
In the end, I didn’t know whether it was because of the plot or because of the sadness in my heart.
Lu Xining knew Lin Zhiyi. She had never been an introverted person. She would shout, scream, and get hurt when she was happy. She would also want to let the whole world know when she was wronged.
There is actually nothing wrong with this, but love makes such a person sentimental and worried about gains and losses.
Weeping and crying, they didn’t even know what was going to happen later in the movie.
Lu Xining never tried to persuade her. She thought maybe it would be good to vent her anger, so she was only responsible for handing out tissues.
Before I knew it, the paper balls were scattered all over the floor.
"I don't want to pay attention to him anymore, and I won't even say a word when he leaves."
"Sure enough, you can't fall in love with a younger boy. It's not considerate at all."
Every word Lin Zhiyi complained about was full of concern and grievance.
"Perhaps, he didn't dare to wake you up because he was afraid of seeing you so reluctant to let go." Lu Xining comforted.
"Can I still not let him go?" Lin Zhiyi continued to express dissatisfaction.
"No, but you will hold him and cry at the airport." Lu Xining could imagine that scene, and added: "If he does, he will be sad, and how can he leave with peace of mind?"
"I just don't want him to leave peacefully," Lin Zhiyi said.
Or in this way, he will always worry about himself.
After all, the world outside is vast and Xiao Ci is so young. Everything he comes into contact with now must be novel and full of temptation.
Lin Zhiyi was afraid that he would be fascinated by the colorful world and forget about herself.
Many years later, Mu Ran looked back and told him that a woman named Lin Zhiyi was just an encounter in his youth.
Of course, these unknowns were too pretentious and Lin Zhiyi would not say them out loud. But it was also because he felt insecure that he felt aggrieved.
But after crying, I seemed to feel better.
Before, I was gritting my teeth and thinking that I would never deal with that stinky man again.
Before going to bed, I still sent him a WeChat message: You actually left me without saying goodbye. As a punishment, you will say good morning, good afternoon, and good night to me every day for a week.
The other end hadn't touched the ground yet, so naturally she couldn't put it away for the time being, so she put away the phone and went to sleep.
I thought that if Xiao Ci was intentional and saw the message after turning on the phone, he would know that he was angry and comfort himself.
After sleeping until dawn, there were some faint sounds coming from outside. It must be that Lu Xining was busy cooking.
Lin Zhiyi took the phone and checked the time, but saw an unread message from Xiao Ci on the screen.
My heart moved slightly, and then I opened it with full expectation, but there were only two disappointing words on it: Good morning.
He really didn't say a word.
Lin Zhiyi suddenly felt unhappy, knowing that since he replied to the message, he had landed safely, so she simply didn't reply to him angrily.
After getting up and washing up, I went to the studio with Lu Xining after breakfast.
In the past few days since she was injured, even though Lu Xining was here, because business has been very good recently, she still accumulated a lot of work, and it was already noon when she finished her work unknowingly.
When Lu Xining called her out to eat, her phone received another message from Xiao Ci: "Good afternoon."
Lin Zhiyi felt inexplicably angry when she saw those two words, maybe because he didn't comfort her, or because he didn't say goodbye to her and leave. She still hasn't given an explanation yet.
I put away my cell phone and had dinner with the people in the studio.
When socializing in the evening, I received the same two-word message from him: Good night.
