"Ah?"
I didn't realize what Lin Ya meant for a moment.
Lin Ya added, "She left with Hu Zi."
I frowned. Du Ling left with Hu Zi?
Lin Ya took a deep breath. After a while, he said, "Yesterday, she called me to say goodbye."
I asked anxiously, "Did you tell Du Ling about Hu Zi and that woman?"
Lin Ya nodded.
My brows furrowed even tighter. Did Du Ling know that he was going with Hu Zi? I don't understand. Why? Can she accept Hu Zi's cheating?
Impossible!
Then why?
She didn't believe it?
I can't understand it no matter what.
"Was she willing?" I asked coldly.
I thought, could Hu Zi have forced Du Ling to leave? He was once Du Ling's savior and now her boyfriend. Even if he ordered Du Ling to leave, Du Ling would probably leave.
"Yes." Lin Ya replied, "I asked her to come back, but she said no. I said that Hu Zi couldn't give her happiness. This relationship was just a dead end, but she just didn't listen. She was too deeply involved with Hu Zi. I asked her why? She didn't answer. She just told me to take care of myself!"
Lin Ya sighed as he spoke.
She had always regarded Du Ling as her own sister, and now that she saw Du Ling fall into it, she was certainly sad.
I smiled. It was unbelievable!
"Are you just going to watch her leave?"
Lin Ya replied helplessly, "What can I do? I wanted her back, but she wouldn't listen."
"How could she not listen? Send her the video on your phone!"
"Forget it." Lin Ya became depressed again. She said, "If she wants to lie to herself, it's useless even if I send her the video."
I stood up. I never expected this. I thought that du ling would be sad, sad, and crying. But I thought that Du Ling would leave Hu Zi no matter what, because no one could tolerate the betrayal of love.
In the beginning, xiaoyi and Xiaolian were very determined to break up with Hu Zi.
Du Ling, this silly girl, is she so self-abased in front of Hu Zi?
I stood up a little impatiently and couldn't help pacing around the room. I really wanted Du Ling to leave Hu Zi.
Because now Hu Zi is not only unfaithful to love, he has completely changed. He even dared to kidnap and set fire. It can be said that he is very dangerous now.
With Du Ling by his side, I was really afraid that something would happen to her.
At this moment, Lin Ya interrupted my thoughts. She pressed her temples wearily and said to me, "Don't go back and forth."
I went to the door of Du Ling's room and opened Hu Zi's room. It was now Du Ling's room, or now it should be called Du Ling's room. I looked into the room. It looked like Du Ling was in a hurry, and a lot of things were not taken away. I didn't know if she would stay here in the future. Would he come and get it?
In the room, there were some things that belonged to Hu Zi.
Maybe, he won't take it anymore.
At this time, I saw a book by the bed with a key on it.
I picked up the key and looked at it. It was the key to our house!
It seems that Du Ling has really left and probably won't come back.
I walked out and gently closed the door.
Lin Ya left. I walked to the balcony and called Old Gao.
"Where are you?"
"Pond."
"I'll go find you."
"Okay."
...
Out the door, I drove towards the pond.
Last night, there were indelible injuries left in all of us, and of these people, Old Gao was definitely the most severely injured.
Hu Zi denied all his friendships with him and easily revealed his most sensitive secrets, injuring him completely without mercy.
This is the last thing I can forgive about Hu Zi!
Hu Zi was right. If it weren't for me, maybe Old Gao and Hu Zi wouldn't have known each other. Because of me, the three of them were connected, but the two of them had known each other for so many years. I really don't believe that Hu Zi never treated Old Gao as a friend?
Impossible!
Bullshit!
How hard could he say such a cruel thing?
From the busy streets to the vast fields, the traffic was no longer crowded, and only a few cars were moving along the way.
I parked my car at the entrance of the pond and walked in.
I saw Old Gao. He was sitting by the pond. I walked over and saw him sitting on a small bench, fishing with a fishing rod.
When you come to the pond, you can feel the cold of winter. The temperature here is obviously lower than in the city. The most important thing is that there are no blocked buildings here, so the wind will keep blowing on your face, on the surface of the pond, on the swaying tree branches.
I saw many thick fallen leaves under those trees, and it seemed that no one had ever cleaned them up. This familiar and unfamiliar pond made my heart feel a little bleak.
Old Gao heard my voice. He continued to look at the still water and said, "Are you fishing?"
I shook my head and sat cross-legged on the grass, looking at the water with Old Gao.
Although he was fishing, it didn't mean he was in the mood to fish.
He was able to hide his feelings from others, but how could he hide it from me?
We know each other too well.
At this moment, I saw cigarette butts lying on the ground next to Old Gao. I frowned. How long has he been sitting here?
I sighed.
When she arrived at the pond, she still didn't know how to speak or how to comfort Old Gao.
Thus, we remained silent, and in the process of silence, Old Gao did not fish out a single fish. The cold wind was still blowing on the surface of the pond, and the water rippled from time to time.
I suddenly felt a little indescribably agitated, and my whole body felt particularly uncomfortable, as if there were thorns sticking into my body all the time, and it hurt and itched.
I said first, "Old Gao, can I say something? Is that okay?"
"Say what?" Old Gao replied faintly.
"Anything!" The two of them sat here in silence and I felt terrible!
Old Gao sneered, "Xing Yun, there's really nothing to say. There's really nothing to say."
He repeated the sentence twice in a low voice.
I gritted my teeth, my emotions surging, many times stronger than those ripples on the surface of the water, but I had nowhere to vent.
I looked up at him, paused, and said, "Du Ling left with Hu Zi."
Old Gao looked at me in confusion.
"I don't know what's going on. Maybe she doesn't believe Hu Zi and that rich woman. She left with Hu Zi."
Old Gao didn't react strongly, but the corners of his mouth twitched quickly.
At this moment, it seemed that a fish had taken the bait. Old Gao pulled up the fishing rod, but there was no fish. Old Gao stood up and his face gradually showed a impatient look. His chest heaved up and down. Then he threw the rod to the ground and said to himself, "Why is she so stupid?"
In love, there are a few people who are not fools!
"I'll call her."
Old Gao took his phone out trembling and called Du Ling, but Du Ling's phone was turned off.
I think it was Hu Zi who told her to turn off her phone. Maybe this phone number won't be used in the future.
Hu Zi, he really wanted to get rid of us completely.
"Let's go find her!" Old Gao said excitedly.
"Forget it."
We don't know what's going on with Du Ling and Hu Zi, but like Lin Ya said, if Du Ling wants to come back, she will come back on her own. If she doesn't want to come back, what's the use of us looking for her?
Old Gao had a pained look on his face, and he said in a particularly helpless voice, "Do you believe it, Xing Yun? Hu Zi will destroy Du Ling sooner or later!"
I took a deep breath. I didn't know. I really didn't know.
I just hope that Hu Zi still has a little conscience in his heart so that he won't hurt Du Ling.
But will it?
In a short period of time, he first took over the Yu xiangyuan, and then the Yu xiangyuan became a springboard for him. Here, he tried his best to climb up and get to know more people. Until now, he was entangled with this great rich woman.
The answer was mostly no.
Old Gao ignored the fishing rod and sat down on the ground, looking as if he had not slept all night.
My lips quivered and I said softly, "Old Gao, from now on, just pretend that you've never had this brother before."
After saying this, I narrowed my eyes and looked into the distance. My adam's apple moved slightly.
Old Gao lowered his head and hugged it tightly.
No matter what, the past will become the past. We can't stay in the past forever. We still have to live.
However, I was very confused, especially confused.
"Old Gao, what do we do?" I asked Old Gao.
Old Gao did not answer, but looked into the distance. At this time, the sky had gradually darkened. The setting sun in the distance dyed the sky red. It looked beautiful, but it did not make me feel better.
After a long time, Old Gao slowly replied, "Originally, I wanted to leave the Xingyun hotel too. I didn't want to step into that sad place again. Really, I never thought that my best brother and friend would say that they pitied me... I... Hu Zi's words made me feel like a dog, you know?"
"Old Gao!"
"That taste... Is worse than death! I..."
Old Gao was a little speechless. He calmed down for a while. After a long pause, he looked at the pond and said, "I originally planned to go back to the pond. It's been a long time since I took care of it. Every time I come here, I feel very sad. But I like it here. I think it's not bad to continue with the pond. I'm so relaxed every day, facing the green grass and water, fishing, and blowing the wind. I don't need to earn so much money every month. If I have enough money, I can spend it. If I earn too much, it's useless."
Hearing Old Gao's words, I felt indescribable sadness. For a moment, all the images in front of me became sad.
The tree with few leaves, the cold water, the sighing wind...
At this moment, Old Gao looked at me again. There was a bright light shining in his eyes, brighter than the afterglow of the sunset. He said to me, "But I think it's too selfish to do this. Hu Zi has already left the Xingyun hotel. I'll quit again. What about you? What are you going to do?"
I smiled, but I wanted to cry.
"Xing Yun," Old Gao looked at me and said firmly, "Let's continue to drive the Xingyun hotel."
Listening to Old Gao, my heart began to beat faster and faster.
"We're not wrong. It's Hu Zi. We've tried to get him to turn around. We tried to persuade him to leave the Yu xiangyuan on the first anniversary. He's the one who's going his own way! Since that's the case, we'll take each side of the road towards the sky. He'll take his path, and we'll take our single wooden bridge! The money invested in the opening of the Xingyun hotel. If he wants it, we'll give it to him. The car he left at the hotel, he drove it away if he wanted to. If he didn't drive it, we would leave it there. When it didn't exist, Xingyun hotel, we would continue to drive, continue to do, grow with our own efforts, we would continue to live a normal life."
Listening to Old Gao's words, my mood became excited. I nodded at him.
At this moment, with Old Gao standing beside me, I feel really happy. As he said, if he really quit the Xingyun hotel like Hu Zi, I will definitely be defeated by negativity alone!
I would wander around on the edge of loneliness, be depressed all day, and never be in the mood to manage a restaurant again.
Now, I'm not afraid. I've thought about it. Xingyun hotel, go on!
Previously, it was the Xingyun hotel of the three of us.
I also thought that if one person left, then the Xingyun hotel would end.
Now, I don't think so. Hu Zi doesn't treat Old Gao as a friend, but I treat him as my brother. As long as my relationship with Old Gao doesn't end, then the Xingyun hotel shouldn't.
The two of them looked at each other and smiled slightly.
The afterglow dissipated and the pond was suddenly shrouded in grey.
My heart, however, gradually brightened.
Then Old Gao and I left the pond.
On the way, Old Gao suddenly said to me, "Xing Yun,..."
He hesitated, as if he didn't know what to say. I asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
"These days, you should pay more attention to the girl when you have time." Old Gao said in a serious tone.
I frowned, looked at Old Gao and asked, "What do you mean?"
"Didn't you notice anything unusual about her?"
"Abnormal?"
I thought about it, then nodded. Old Gao was right. She was a little strange. I noticed it in the hotel before.
Did Old Gao know something? I remember Lin Ya drinking with him that night. What did they say?
"What happened to her?" I asked hurriedly. It seemed that nothing happened to Lin Ya.
Old Gao sighed and replied, "I think the girl might be depressed!"
"Ah? What?"
Old Gao's words startled me, and my hands trembled as I held the steering wheel. Instead of driving, I stepped on the brake and stopped the car.
His heart was still beating violently.
I looked at Old Gao in shock.
Depression?
Is this too serious?
In the past, people might not know much about depression, but now, no one dares to underestimate depression! Many people committed suicide because of the worsening depression, which was why Leslie Cheung jumped down the stairs.
When I thought about Lin Ya's depression, I was scared. I felt like a snake was crawling on my back, spitting out snake seeds at the back of my head.
I asked Old Gao anxiously, "What did she say to you?"
I think back to the way lin ya used to be. Although we didn't have much time to talk, we met almost every day. Although Lin Ya was a little abnormal sometimes, she seemed normal most of the time. Even though she found some abnormalities, I didn't think about depression.
Old Gao really scared me.
"She didn't tell me anything. I was just guessing. The doctor had to decide whether or not it was possible."
"Then why did you guess that?" This is a big deal, not a small one.
Old Gao's face was troubled. He thought for a while before he said, "Xing Yun, you know the girl well. She's a strong person. She's been independent since she was very young. Now she's helping to take care of Lin Feng and Tang Manya. But in fact, she's a very fragile person in her heart. In other words, everyone has a vulnerable side, and so does the girl. If this side continues to be magnified, then she might suffer from depression."
I nodded. I understand.
"Why didn't you say so earlier!" I said reproachfully.
"I wanted to tell you earlier, but you never came to the restaurant. It's not good to tell you over the phone."
Then I continued driving, but I was still shocked by the news.
I really never thought that lin ya would be associated with depression, because in my memory, Lin Ya was always strong and optimistic, and she was very smart. I always felt that even if she encountered setbacks or something, she would quickly adjust.
So, how did she get depression again?
However, Old Gao's words had to be taken seriously.
It seems that I have to have a heart-to-heart talk with lin ya these days.
