Chapter 43：

Lin Jie's last chemotherapy was over, and the doctor in charge finally agreed to 'let' him go home for the New Year. He said that he didn't want to waste his limited life waiting for no chance of improvement.

It was deep winter, and the wind was bitingly cold.

The day before Lin Jie came back, Lin Zheng drained all the water in the radiator to ensure that Lin Jie would not feel cold when he came back.

On the day Lin Jie came back, Lin Zheng asked for leave and went to pick him up with Feng Haian. He didn't really go home for two years, when Lin Jie walked in, his heart flashed with infinite emotions, the most was his love for Lin Zheng.

"Zheng'er, has it been hard for you to be alone at home these two years?" Lin Jie asked with distress.

Lin Zheng helped him straighten the blanket covering his lap, and said with a smile, "No, we take exams all day long, and we are so busy that we don't have time to think about other things. Naturally, we don't feel the hard work."

Lin Jie patted Lin Zheng's head with pity and didn't dwell too much on this topic, but said with full of expectation: "Dad and Mom have made up their minds, after the new year, we will sell the house here and go back to our hometown to live. "

Lin Zheng's apple-peeling knife slid across his finger, and blood came out immediately.

Lin Zheng avoided Lin Jie without a trace, took out a piece of paper and pressed the wound, and said, "Why do you want to go back to your hometown all of a sudden?"

"It wasn't all of a sudden." Lin Jie's long eyes were full of nostalgia for the past, "You went back to your mother's hometown once when you were a child, and said that there were mountains and rivers, comfortable and quiet there, and you insisted on buying a piece of land with her and building a seat. The little house is for you, forget?"

Lin Zheng shook his head and said with a smile, "I haven't forgotten." It's just that I was ignorant at the time, and I never thought that one day I would fall in love with the people here, and then I wanted to stay in this city.

Lin Jie saw Lin Zheng smiling, and his pale lips were stained with warmth, "Your mother and I have saved a lot for half our lives, and the deductions for your school use are just enough to buy a new home. Dad is not in good health and can't go out to make money. In the future, the expenses of the family will depend on your mother alone. We will have a hard time, and you will have to separate from your friends to adapt to the new environment. If we move there, these are the difficulties we will face. Zhenger, do you think about it? Think about it, if you want to go back, we will go back, if you don’t want to go back, our family of three will continue to stay here.”

Lin Zheng cut the peeled apple into pieces, poked a piece with a fork and fed it to Lin Jie, "Don't think about it, I want to go back."

Lin Jie looked at Lin Zheng for a moment, made sure that her words were not adulterated, and immediately laughed, "Okay, then we'll go back."

—

On the day of the end of the final exam, Lin Zheng organized a bureau to invite Shi Qi and a few people to eat hot pot. At the table, she said that she was leaving.

Lin Zheng searched for Shiqi many times, but she always closed the door. Lin Zheng thought she was angry and refused to see him, and was so worried that she almost knelt down and apologized.

Shi's mother couldn't stand the two good sisters being so awkward all the time, so she told Lin Zheng the truth, "Zheng'er, Shi Qi is not really angry, she just can't accept it for a while, and she has been calming down for the past two days and has been giving Don't worry about the things you are going to live there in the past, she will come to you after she has figured it out."

Lin Zheng knew that Shi's mother would not lie to her, but she still couldn't help but feel worried all day long, unable to find any joy near the New Year.

On the day of Xiaonian, Shi Qi appeared at the door of Lin Zheng's house without warning.

Lin Zheng hugged her excitedly and said, "Qi, you are finally willing to talk to me."

Shi Qi coldly pushed it away, handed her a bank card, and said stiffly: "This is the money I saved for you, it's not much, save some money."

Before Lin Zheng could speak, Shi Qi pointed to the three large boxes behind him and added, "There are snacks, daily necessities, and study materials for the next semester. You use them first, and I'll buy them for you when you're done."

Lin Zheng was overwhelmed by Shi Qi's series of operations, and said nervously: "Qi..."

Shi Qi raised his hand, made a gesture of rejection, then turned and left without looking back.

Lin Zheng was in a daze the whole time, and only after seeing the elevator closed did he run after him, only to return in vain.

Shi Qi was relieved to recover, but it didn't mean she forgave Lin Zheng, she would be angry with her for a long time.

In the next few days, Shi Qi would come to Lin Zheng's house every day, sometimes carrying a bunch of big and small bags, and sometimes just a box of small biscuits, all for Lin Zheng.

Lin Zheng still felt uncomfortable at first, but after a long time, she saw that the seventh of their family was stubborn, and she must have forgiven her in her heart.

Thinking about it this way, Lin Zheng's mood improved a lot. Every day, he followed Feng Hai to organize New Year's goods and decorate the house. He was so busy that he went back and forth and forgot about Gu Nanzhi. ... Gu Nanzhi never called or sent Lin Zheng a WeChat message, both of them made what they thought was appropriate in their own minds.

A few days before New Year's Eve, Gu Nanzhi went back to his parents, and there was nothing else to do except being scolded all day long. Either he thought she was too lazy to move, or she was so old that she had no one. , I was really upset, so I played games with a few of the graduate student's friends. I think back then, she was also an Internet addicted girl for a long time, and she often buried her living expenses on these things.

However, once the headphones are worn, she is isolated from the world, and she is grateful to the engineers who invented the noise-canceling headphones.

As soon as the beating was over, Gu Nanzhi and the others were sitting outside the city chatting, and when they talked about the students, someone brought the topic to Gu Nanzhi immediately, "How is the kid who sang "Little Boy" in KTV recently? Let’s call her out to play together some other day, I’ll treat her to some delicious food and contribute to enhancing your teacher-student relationship.”

Gu Nanzhi shook his hand as he clicked the mouse casually, and sold the Chengwu, which had been knocked out for several days, into a store, which could not be returned.

In the final exam of this semester, Lin Zheng, who had already untied his knots, lived up to everyone's expectations, and got the first place in the grade with an absolute high score. At the parent meeting, Feng Haian came, and Gu Nanzhi gave Lin Zheng all the praise he could give. In exchange for her bow and a jerky, "Mr. Gu, thank you."

Gu Nanzhi realized that something had changed between them, and wanted to communicate in the past, but unfortunately, the parent meeting was followed by winter vacation, and she left school. She didn't know why she had to go to Lin Zheng, and she was not willing to bother her for two years. The 'reunion' only came in exchange for time, so that parent meeting became the last time they met face to face, and after that, they didn't even get a like from Moments.

Gu Nanzhi clicked on Lin Zheng's WeChat, and the last time they chatted was more than a month ago, and there was only a polite and rude "Mr. Gu, I took the composition down and sent it".

"Old Gu? If you dare to disconnect, I will dare to cut your network cable." Gu Nanzhi's voice was not heard in YY, and someone threatened.

Gu Nanzhi turned off the phone and put it on the table, coolly said: "If your jaw drops, my net won't drop either."

Classmate, "virtue."

The topic was changed, and several people chatted casually. Gu Nanzhi was not very interested, and occasionally replied with a sentence or two. When the official live broadcast popped up at the bottom of the screen, he left the room directly.

Her yy only followed Lin Zheng's live broadcast, she didn't need to think about this reminder at all, she subconsciously clicked in, and then went out, there was no chance.

Today is New Year's Eve, reunion night, and even those who have been outside all year round have returned home, so there are naturally very few people in the live broadcast room, especially Lin Zheng, who is 'not popular', and there is only one Gu Nan besides herself. Branches can be seen at a glance.

"Hello." Lin Zheng was still wearing a monkey mask, so she couldn't see her face clearly, but she could tell from her voice and crooked eyes that she was in a good mood, and that's it. It's much better to have parents who talk about getting nothing done.

Gu Nanzhi remained silent, typing on the public screen.

Physical measurement 800 meters: Happy New Year

Lin Zheng plucked the strings casually, and said with a smile: "Happy New Year, there is no one today, may I open a room for you?"

Physical test 800 meters: Do you want to pay more for such a high salary?

Lin Zheng: No need, you have given me a lot of gifts these years, enough to listen to for a long time

Physical test 800 meters: Then thank you, Master Zheng, so, how is Master Zheng in a good mood today?

Lin Zheng didn't speak, leaned closer to the camera, and typed seriously with his head down.

After a while, a line of words appeared on the public screen, followed by Gu Nanzhi's question.

Master Zheng is in a bad mood today: Good, very good, I have never felt that life is so exciting.

Gu Nanzhi leaned against the chair, his stretched eyebrows tightened.

It seems that the children can live happily without her.

It was the few seconds when Gu Nanzhi was distracted, Lin Zheng had already opened the room, and left her ID and password on the public screen for her. Gu Nanzhi searched for the ID and followed in after seeing it.

Although there were only the two of them in the room, Lin Zheng still gave her the yellow horse with a sense of ritual. Mai Xu opened the free mode and said to her: "Can you climb wheat?"

Gu Nanzhi subconsciously wanted to say yes, but he replied, "No."

Lin Zheng, "Then I'll hold you to the mic." This is a common expression in YY. Gu Nanzhi has been playing games for several years, and he has also joined the guild. Gu Nanzhi always felt that something was different when he said it out of his mouth. She unconsciously touched the base of her ear, the temperature was much higher than usual.

Gu Nanzhi got up, opened the window facing the desk a little, and took a few mouthfuls of cold milk before returning to the room.

At this time, Lin Zheng had already made preparations. She asked Gu Nanzhi what she wanted to hear, but Gu Nanzhi couldn't tell, so she replied casually. Lin Zheng really played casually, not a single complete song, one after another , playing are all unknown thoughts.

As it was approaching twelve o'clock, Gu Nanzhi heard someone calling her from the other side called Lin Zheng. She answered Myra far away, then pulled her back and said to Gu Nanzhi, "Babaimi, thank you for being with me these two years. Look at me, nice to meet you, after today I won't be on live broadcast again."

Gu Nanzhi was refreshed physically and mentally by the exclusive ditty for one night. Hearing this, her heart sank suddenly. The strong sense of weightlessness made her frown, "Why?" She asked.

Lin Zheng, "I'm leaving. I'm leaving this city. I may not come back for a long time, or... I may never come back. The people here who can make me miss have already said hello. You are the last one. It's okay. , ahead of years ago."

After Lin Zheng finished speaking, there was no sound in the room.

Gu Nanzhi sat there with an ugly face. She knew she was very angry, and Lin Zheng's "had already said hello". Himself, she was not good enough for her, or...

Gu Nanzhi suddenly loses confidence, and hides if he can't like it, isn't this Xu Zhi's pertinent suggestion, she achieved her goal without even bothering, shouldn't she be happy that the matter was resolved so smoothly? Angry, where did she get the qualifications, she was kind to her at first, and she didn't think about reciprocating, now that she is leaving, she shouldn't be selfish.

Lin Zheng couldn't wait for a response, thinking that his internet was not good, so he leaned closer to Mai and said "Hello" several times before seeing Gu Nanzhi's reply, "Where are you going?"

Lin Zheng's answer was ambiguous, "It's far away."

"Hmm." Gu Nanzhi didn't ask any more questions, and tapped on the keyboard with his fingertips for a long time, only saying "Bon voyage."

Across the Internet, Lin Zheng could only hear Gu Nanzhi's calmness. She couldn't see the words and she pinched and broke the pencil on the table. The wooden thorn pierced the tiger's mouth, and the blood flowed along the lines of the palm to the table.

The clock struck twelve, and the night sky was illuminated by colorful fireworks. Gu Nanzhi stood by the window, letting the cold wind blow through the corner of the skirt on a snowy night.

Really, just leave like this?

Gu Nanzhi felt that there was an empty space in his heart, and what was missing was Lin Zheng. In just half a year, how could she, who had always taken parting lightly, have such a sense of 'lost' because of Lin Zheng?

"Zhizhi, it's time to eat dumplings." Outside, his mother asked Gu Nanzhi to eat dumplings.

Gu Nanzhi responded, abruptly putting aside the question that had no conclusion. She closed the window casually, walked back to the table and sat down again.

Lin Zheng had already left, and only Gu Nanzhi's room was empty. She exited the room and clicked on the hidden icon in the taskbar to exit YY. Lin Zheng has already left the live broadcast, so why keep what she left for her.

For her... Gu Nanzhi didn't click the mouse on the taskbar, she let go, pushed the chair back, and opened the drawer in front of her.

There are all kinds of little monkeys, bookmarks, oil pens, post-it notes... and a cup and a spoon in the drawer.

This is the first night when Gu Nanzhi asked the waiter to help deliver milk to Lin Zheng. She only used it once, and it was the second time including Lin Zheng. Since then, it has been properly stored in a drawer.

At that time, she never thought about seeing each other again, and collecting this set of cups was just a 'handy' thing. Now, it has become a memorial to the passing fate. In the future, she will no longer need to buy these things with little monkeys. The habit is because in the live broadcast room Seeing the little monkey Lin Zheng hangs on the schoolbag, he raised it, and he should quit if he can't see it in the future.

Gu Nanzhi closed the drawer and clicked on the taskbar again, seeing YY's friend request suddenly light up in her gloomy eyes, subconsciously, she thought that this friend request would meet Lin Zheng, and it was indeed the case.

Gu Nanzhi couldn't tell what she was feeling at the moment, anger, loss, and the joy of regaining what was lost, what else was there vaguely, she didn't care about thinking, her hands trembled uncontrollably, and she clicked on the flashing icon several times before clicking. in the right place.

Agree, group for the unique her—Zhenger.

As soon as Gu Nanzhi agreed, Lin Zheng sent a message, "Last year, we were netizens. How about we be friends in the future?"

Gu Nanzhi smiled wryly, friend, why do they both like to be friends with each other so much? This friend, she wants.

"Okay." Gu Nanzhi replied.

Lin Zheng returned a beaming expression, and the two wished each other a happy new year again, and then went offline.

Gu Nanzhi sat in front of the table, the desk lamp kept the light very low, so that the ups and downs in her eyes could not be illuminated.

In the future, are there really only friends left?

Gu Nanzhi stared at the phone fixedly. Since the bell struck twelve, her phone has been vibrating. Needless to say, it was all kinds of official blessings. Gu Nanzhi didn't want to go back. She took the phone and pressed the power button. Press and hold the key, and the phone will vibrate after a few seconds. It is different from the short vibration when the phone is turned off. It is a rapid and continuous incoming call.

Gu Nanzhi narrowed his eyes and looked at the screen, where Lin Zheng's name flashed impressively.

Gu Nanzhi smiled subconsciously, and there was tension in it that she didn't realize.

"Hello." Gu Nanzhi answered softly, not daring to say anything.

Lin Zheng didn't know where it was, it was very noisy, she said loudly amidst the laughter: "I like you! I like you very much!"

Gu Nanzhi's heart beat suddenly fast, as if it was about to jump out of his chest, and then stopped abruptly.

On the other end, Lin Zheng said, "But, goodbye."

This 'goodbye' Gu Nanzhi has been waiting for five years.
