"Shut up!"

Seeing that the words coming out of Chen Lai's mouth were getting more and more outrageous, her mother felt more and more shameless, and in anger, she slapped him in the face.

"Suqin!"

When Chen's father rushed to his daughter's side, it was too late. Chen Lai could only cover his burning side face, and the stubbornness and resentment in his eyes slowly appeared.

"Lailai, your mother didn't do it on purpose, don't blame her!"

"Su Qin, if you have something to say, please speak it carefully. If you are celebrating the New Year, please don't do anything."

"Am I doing it for myself? I'm doing it all for her own good! A girl is wandering in a strange big city, helpless, staying with her parents. At least she has someone to rely on. She is a little white-eyed wolf. She has been there since she was a child.

Most of them!"

"If I don't listen to you, will I be a wolf? Mom, you are committing moral kidnapping!"

"I'll say it again, I have my own life to live, and I don't need you to arrange it!"

"Huh, when the time comes and you suffer a loss outside, don't come back and cry to us!"

"Ever since I was little, you have always found ways to make me angry. Am I raising an enemy?"

The mother snorted coldly, stubbornly believing that Chen Lai had a sudden impulse.

"This is my own choice."

As soon as she finished speaking, she dragged the box and walked out of the house.

"Mom, since you think I'm an eyesore, I'd better go back to City C. It's Chinese New Year, so don't let you get in trouble."

"Lailai!"

The father caught up a few steps forward and grabbed his daughter's suitcase.

"It's so late. Let's go to bed early. We'll talk about anything tomorrow."

His father's tone was almost pleading, and Chen Lai softened a little, but he glanced sideways at his mother who was surrounded by his cousins ​​​​and decided to leave.

"No, Dad, there is another bus tonight, so we can go back just in time."

"Then I'll take you there and watch you get in the car."

"Oh, by the way, there are steamed buns at home. Your mother has made them specially for you these past few days. I'm just waiting for you to come home and try them."

The father's eyes were full of reluctance, and he hurriedly ran into the kitchen to get something.

Chen Lai sighed and dragged his suitcase away without waiting for his father to come out.

She called a car on her mobile phone and soon reached the side of the road. Her father was rushing out with a large bag of buns, but he still couldn't catch up. She sat in the car and listened to her father shouting her name and turning around.

He looked at his bewildered father through the car window.

She turned her head decisively, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and felt a trace of regret in her heart. It is true that her mother was a little too aggressive, but her mother's living environment was such that her knowledge was so narrow. She should not blame her mother. For the sake of family affection, she

I should endure it, at least until after the New Year reunion, but I don’t know when my temper will become so hard that I can’t even endure it for a moment.

Has it been the social experience abroad in the past few years that has made you change?

She only felt more and more lonely, with no one to talk to and no one to understand.

"Miss, we're here."

"Okay, thank you!"

Dragging her suitcase again, she got out of the car and faced the dark station.

She felt like crying without tears.

Maybe it was too long since she had been back, and she actually forgot that the county station was closed at this point, let alone that there were buses.

She was a little aimless, walking alone on the deserted street. Even the street lights dimmed one by one, or even went out.

She obviously wanted to go home, but now she was homeless. It was really ironic.

She just doesn't want to compromise with mediocrity, why is reality so ruthlessly obstructing her again and again, giving her a merciless slap in the face again and again.

She recalled the dream she wrote in her diary in that rural primary school when she was a child. After being taken by a naughty classmate, she read it out to the whole class. Unsurprisingly, she was laughed at mercilessly by the whole class.

When she grew up, she went out to look for relevant jobs with her dreams in mind, and the contempt she received was no less than what she received at home. She was a dreamer, a small town girl who was reminded over and over again by her mother not to have wishful thinking. Every time she left,

Every step was difficult, but on this night of the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, she suddenly felt that she couldn't hold on anymore and couldn't breathe.

Another streetlight went out, and she was like a dream-chasing actor on stage who was forced to stop performing. She finally squatted on the roadside, squatting under the streetlight that was no longer on, shaking and hugging herself and crying.

Got up.

The older you get, the lonelier you become. The collapse of an adult only occurs in an instant.

Fortunately, no one in this place would see her in such a miserable state.

She cried for a while, from a small sob to a final howl. However, after a while, the mobile phone in her pocket vibrated. She wiped away her tears, thinking it was a work problem. When she pulled it out, she saw that

It's Gu Yan's number.

She grabbed the phone and looked at it for a while. She didn't want to answer it, but the flashing number and the vibration became more and more intense, frantically looking for a sense of presence.

She no longer deceived herself, and put down her guard. She swiped her phone to answer the call, and Gu Yan's voice on the other end was clear and clear.

"Did you go back?"

"Um."

Surprisingly, she did not speak out to criticize him as before, but seemed very quiet.

"Well, it's nothing. I just miss you a little. I won't see you for many days during the Spring Festival."

Gu Yan said it a little awkwardly. In fact, he was in Chang County. On the one hand, he was following some clues, and on the other hand, he did think that Chen Lai's hometown was here.

"Um."

Chen Lai still only said "hmm" softly, and Gu Yan quickly discovered the problem.

"What's wrong with you? Your voice is weird. What happened?"

"I'm alone at the station."

"Ah? Didn't you go home? Why are you still at the station at this time?"

"Can you come pick me up?"

"Okay, just stand still, I'll be here right away, very quickly! Don't hang up the phone!"

As he spoke, Gu Yan took his coat, drove out of the hotel where he was staying, searched the map, and went straight to Changxian Station.

"Forget it, I'll figure it out myself. It will take you a few hours to drive here."

"No, I'm in Chang County, I'll be there soon, don't worry!"

"No matter how far away it is, I will rush over right away!"

Chen Lai laughed.

"You are still as good at coaxing women as ever."

"I'm willing to do anything for you."

"You don't need to say such disgusting words, I, Chen Lai, don't do this."

"Why don't you, a woman, refuse to take soft and hard words? Stop your sharp tongue, you will easily suffer."

"You don't need to educate me, Master Gu."

"Still squatting there?"

More than ten minutes later, the human voice overlapped with the voice on the mobile phone, and Chen Lai suddenly stood up. Gu Yan raised his mobile phone, smiling brightly in the darkness.

Chen Lai turned his head and stared at this stalwart man intently. He finally understood why those peach blossom eyes could make so many women fall into them willingly.

"Gu Yan!"

She impulsively ran over and hugged him tightly. Both of them were breathing a little disorderly, and Gu Yan did not dare to move easily.
