The bookstore was too quiet, just to greet people, but it attracted inquiring eyes from far and near.

"Why are you here?"

Lin Yi's words ignited the thread in Yan Lingling's heart. She turned cold and wanted to ask Lin Yi why you think I'm here, but when she saw Lan Lan, she suppressed the fire in her heart, her expression slowed down, and her tone was cold: " I sent you a message and didn't reply, so I stopped by when you replied."

Lin Yi took out the phone from the bag on the table with his backhand, saw the missed calls and messages, his expression changed slightly: "The phone is in the bag, I didn't hear it, sorry."

"It's okay." Yan Lingling pointed to the door, "How about we go outside and talk?"

Lan Lan followed behind, chatting with Lin Yi all the time, Yan Lingling suppressed his discomfort, and there was a distance of about one meter between Lin Yi and Lin Yi.

Although she answered Lan Lan's words, Lin Yi's attention was entirely on Yan Lingling. She knew the reason why Yan Lingling came to find her.She knew that during the cold war during this period, the problem was on her side, but at that time Yan Lingling hung up the phone on her own initiative, and she was in a state of confusion.After two days of calm, she didn't know how to explain to Yan Lingling what happened that day.

Tell Yan Lingling what happened that day?It seems unnecessary.Lin Yi consciously told Yan Lingling a lot, at least she never told her lover about her grandma, not even her first love.The liking for Yan Lingling made Lin Yi willing to tell her about grandma, but even so, Lin Yi was not used to telling all the bad things that happened in his family.

No matter what kind of family a person lives in, what kind of family he meets, things that cannot be changed are meaningless no matter who he tells them.

Lin Yi took the initiative to tell Lan Lan that he and Yan Lingling still had something to do, Lan Lan pursed his lips slightly, his eyes trembling, and after a few seconds of silence, he simply said goodbye to the two and left.

Yan Lingling thought that she would never be able to learn Lan Lan's movements and demeanor in just a few seconds. She looked at Lan Lan's leaving back, turned and walked forward by herself.Lin Yi followed.Yan Lingling stared at the front and asked her: "Are you off work? Are you going to have dinner now?"

Lin Yi nodded, and took the initiative to walk in front of Yan Lingling, leading her across a street and then to another alley.There is a home-cooked restaurant here, she asked Yan Lingling: "Is it okay to eat here?"

Yan Lingling followed her into the restaurant.

From ordering to the end of the meal, the two asked each other what he wanted to eat as usual, and picked up the chopsticks for each other, which seemed to outsiders to be nothing wrong.Only the two of them knew that after the meal was over, something would be different.

At the end of the meal, when she put down her chopsticks, Yan Lingling felt that her stomach was a little bloated.Like my stomach, my heart is full of panic.Lin Yi filled a bowl of soup for her. She stirred it with a spoon, and the soup formed a small vortex.

Yan Lingling stared at the little whirlpool and said, "Lin Yi, let's break up."

Lin Yi paused for a moment.She retracted her chopsticks, looked at Yan Lingling, and asked softly, "Is this the only way?"

Yan Lingling didn't expect Lin Yi to ask such a question. Before eating, she didn't even think about breaking up.She lowered her head, and a tear fell into the soup bowl and landed on the white porcelain spoon.Holding back her second tears, she raised her head and smiled and said, "I don't know either. I don't even know why we quarreled."

No quarrel.Lin Yi said in her heart, but she doesn't want to deny it now, nor does she want to keep Yan Lingling who proposed to break up.When Lin Yi took the initiative to confess his love to Yan Lingling and wanted to be with her, Lin Yi never thought that he would hurt her.She saw the tears that Yan Lingling was holding back, and she thought that she was really not a good lover.When Lingling wanted to be with Lingling at the beginning, Lingling cried several times. Now that Lingling broke up, she cried again.

why?

Why didn't he want to keep Yan Lingling?Lin Yi couldn't figure it out, but felt a sense of powerlessness spread all over his body.She thought of the red pen in her bag. In order to get the red pen, she skipped work to meet Lan Lan.

Do you want to return the red pen to Yan Lingling?Lin Yi's mind was very confused, she heard Yan Lingling's steady tone after holding back tears: "Lin Yi, do you really like me?"

"I like it." Lin Yi answered quickly, it seemed that in her heart, this question did not need to be considered at all, and it was an unquestionable answer.

Yan Lingling's lips trembled, she nodded, feeling extremely sad inside.She really wanted to say that since you like me, why did you fight with me for so many days?Why didn't you say anything after I broke up, you told me that you don't want to break up, okay?

She looked up and watched Lin Yi pick up the chopsticks again, and put the cold vegetable leaves on the plate into her mouth.

Yan Lingling went to buy the bill and left alone.Lin Yi's gaze followed her until her back completely disappeared from sight.Lin Yi dropped the chopsticks in his hand, tears slipped from the corners of his eyes, flowed down his cheeks, rolled over the corners of his mouth, and fell from his chin onto the table.

The cold leftovers on the table signaled the end of this relationship.

Lin Yi suddenly remembered her friend who went abroad two years ago. When the two met for the last time, the drunk friend said that she didn't understand love, and she was still angry at that time.Now it seems that the friend may be right.When he first got together with Yan Lingling, Lin Yi thought that his heart, which had been vacant for several years, was finally filled with another person, and he must be together well.But now it has only been half a year, and the person is still in the heart, but the hand pushes the other party away.

She neatly folded Yan Lingling's clothes at home, turned off the light and lay on the bed, staring at the clothes in the dark and closing her eyes.

-------

Yan Lingling originally thought that he would be very uncomfortable.

She knew that she liked Lin Yi very much.

But when she returned to the yard and took a pack of hometown snacks from Sister Mi, she actually showed a sincere smile, which made Sister Mi repeatedly ask her what happy event she had.

Breaking up with someone you like is not a happy event, Yan Lingling said in her heart, she didn't know why she was so relaxed.This sense of relaxation caught up with the joy she felt when she and Lin Yi traveled together years ago. She didn't understand that she was so happy when she and Lin Yi were together, but it was so simple when she proposed to break up.

Would it be too careless?When she went to work to move, she looked at Brother Yun and Sister Mi who were very understanding, and judged herself in her heart, maybe she was really not suitable for dating.

Yan Lingling returned to her original life.I spend less time checking my phone and replying to messages. After get off work, I go back to the yard, and I don’t go out much during the occasional break. I just stay in the yard and chat with people.She herself felt that this day was no different from when she was in a relationship, except that she didn't go back to the yard on weekends, but others found out that she was wrong.People in the office asked her why she didn't go out to play on her rest day?Sister Mi asked her why she likes chatting with people in the yard so much this year?Ran Ming hit the nail on the head and asked her if she broke up with Lin Yi, right?

Yan Lingling was taken aback by Ran Ming. When the Spring Festival first came, Ran Ming saw that she and Lin Yi were arguing, and this time he directly saw that the two had broken up, which was too accurate.

Yan Lingling and Ran Ming stood at the corner of the shed next to the yard with an anthracite stove burning. Under the shed were two tables of people playing cards around the stove. "It's not Lin Yi who contacted you, right?" With her hands in her pockets, she looked at Ran Ming suspiciously.

Ran Ming smiled and put out the cigarette in his hand: "You used to not spend time watching people play cards."

……

Yan Lingling used gags to answer everyone's questions about her, and within two weeks, the people around her stopped asking her questions.

Time seemed to speed up suddenly. During the day-to-day moving work, when she came home from work one day, she received a package.The intra-city package made it easy for her to guess the person who sent the package, but she didn't want to admit it in her heart. She knew that she had very little things left with the other party, and being sent over meant that she had completely lost contact.It's just that when she opened the package and found that it was full of familiar clothes, she could only admit and accept if she didn't admit it.

Lin Yi didn't send many clothes.Yan Lingling looked through the packages one by one, hanging up the ones she wanted to keep, and throwing the ones she didn't want to keep in the trash can. At the end of the package, she found a booklet.

The booklet was printed on white paper, and there was nothing on the cover. On the second page were a few lines typed by Lin Yi: Lingling, I am sorry that it took so long to send the things.Years ago you mentioned your plans for the future, whether to improve your academic qualifications or learn a technology. I consulted with a friend and made some plans. You can take a look as a reference.Hope you are getting better and better.

The incandescent light was dazzling, and the booklet of nearly ten pages, a thin book, told Yan Lingling what choices she could make based on her reality.Yan Lingling couldn't understand the icons and data lines above, but the annotations next to it were very clear. She looked at those words, and Lin Yi's voice was all in her ears.

Her heart ached every now and then. She put the booklets right next to the computer, turned off the light and went to sleep. She didn't know when she fell asleep, and couldn't remember what she dreamed. When she woke up the next day, she had a terrible headache. I went to the yard to say hello to people, only to realize that my voice could no longer make a sound.

Yan Lingling thought, this really has a beginning and an end. Before the love affair with Lin Yi started, she cried once and her voice became hoarse. Symptoms of fever and cough.There was no other way. She asked for four days off, went to the hospital for two days to get IV drips, and slept at home for two more days. After all the symptoms of the illness improved, she took off the leave and went to work.

The spring of the new year is here, and willow catkins float through the air.The van was stuck in the city center for half an hour, the window next to it was lowered, and Yan Lingling saw Lan Lan sitting in the back seat of the car, with the girl next to her snuggling in her arms.The two talked and laughed, very harmonious.

Yan Lingling rolled up the half-opened car window, and she smiled and said to Brother Yun and Sister Mi in the front row: "I feel that Zicheng is such a small city."

Sister Mi handed over a bottle of water from the front row: "It's not too small, it's much bigger than at home."

Brother Yun continued: "Yes, it's not small. No matter how big it is, it will reach the fifth and sixth rings."

The low-level laborers in the city, the three moving workers began to laugh and chat about the development of the city.The source of the traffic jam was cleared, the traffic flow moved slowly, the van drove forward, Yan Lingling looked out the window, the van left the car next to it behind.
