Chase the train

"I'm leaving."

"Ah."

Lin Yousheng walked to the door, turned back and stood beside Song Shi.

Song Shi felt her approach and looked up, "What are you doing?"

"It's nothing..." I was just a little flustered, and I always felt that nothing good would happen if I went out this time.

The person opposite seemed to smile, put down the pen in his hand, squeezed her hand, "Be careful on the road."

Lin Yousheng stared at the hand that was leading her, and was stunned for a moment, feeling sore for no reason.

"Won't it disappear again?" she asked.

Song Shi looked at her without answering, but his eyes were gentle, with a kind of quiet persuasion.

Hatsushima is in the busiest street in the south of the Yangtze River. Lin Yousheng followed the navigation and walked over the same floor tiles. At a certain moment, he felt a little dazed, as if he had returned to Ling'an, standing on Yunxi Road, wearing a skirt of the season, with the purpose of The place is a cafe that ordinary high school students will not set foot in.She likes that place, it is quiet and sunny, and on weekends, she can stay there all day, reading books, doing quizzes, and thinking about nothing else.She was naturally thoughtful, but she was really carefree during that time, because her bumpy life seemed to have finally settled down. Unexpectedly, it was just the calm before the storm...

When she came back to her senses, she found that she was surrounded by unfamiliar storefronts, and people were passing by in a hurry, speaking in a dialect she could not understand.

The feeling of tearing at that moment was like the soul falling from a high altitude, and the heart ached from the fall.

She's still in this damn place.

There is a camphor tree at the gate of Hatsushima, its dense branches and leaves cast shadows, casting a shaking spot of light on the floor-to-ceiling windows next to it.

Xie Qingqiao was sitting by the window.

"It's quite early." Xie Qingqiao motioned her to sit down. "any drinks?"

"No need." Lin Yousheng impatiently played charades with her, "What are we talking about?"

Xie Qingqiao smiled, the traces of age on that face were not obvious, and the smile was still charming, "Why are you so impatient?"

Lin Yousheng complained in her heart, her words were really like a villain, she even had the feeling that this person was going to give her a check in the next moment.

"Then I'll just say it straight, how about we make a deal? The reward is to get you out of here."

Lin Yousheng's eyes widened, did he really come?

"It's my own thing that I like Song Shi. If I don't get a response, I will never pester her. You are not her elder at all, you want to interfere with her making friends?" She walks her own way, no one else is needed Escorting, it is even more impossible to use Song Shi as a bargaining chip.Before she came, she had already thought that it was absolutely impossible for her to leave Song Shi.If she is in a hurry, she will tell Song Shi what happened today, no, she will tell Song Shi with embellishments.

"Interference?" Xie Qingqiao seemed to find it funny, and raised the tail of his eyes, "I didn't intend to interfere."

"Then what do you want to do?"

"I think she's fine."

"What's the meaning……"

"I heard that your mother is so clever that she fascinated Gu Qian so much, even if you didn't get the words and deeds, you should have learned a lot, right?"

yes.But it is one thing for Lin Yousheng to admit it himself, and another thing to say it from others, her eyes became unfriendly, "...what do you mean?"

"To be honest, I don't really believe what you said that you like it. Just think I'm biased. You are young, you have a heavy heart, and your sincerity is unreliable."

Her words were sharp, Lin Yousheng's nerve seemed to be pricked.She was not convinced, but she couldn't argue, because more than half of this sentence was true.

"It's not for you to judge."

"I don't want to judge, I just want to state the reason why I took this method." She took a sip of coffee, and the expression on her face became completely serious. "I don't care what method you use, let Song Shi willingly leave this place within three months."

"Get out of here...where?"

"by my side."

Lin Yousheng's heart was burning with anger, "She also said yesterday that you are devoted to your lover and will never betray you!"

"I'm over 40, almost two rounds older than her..." Xie Qingqiao laughed angrily, "Listen to me."

Lin Yousheng stared at her intently.

"My wife and I accidentally met Song Shi here three years ago and saved her life. If it wasn't for us, she might have jumped off the bridge."

Lin Yousheng's heart skipped a beat, "What?"

"Her mental state is not very good, and she may be in danger at any time." Xie Qingqiao said.After all, she didn't trust Lin Yousheng, so she didn't tell the whole story about Song Shi's illness, "My wife's life experience is somewhat similar to Song Shi's, so I have always cared about her. This time her father passed away, and I came here just to take her away. "

"You want...to adopt her?"

"It doesn't matter, just take care of her, and when she gets better, she can do whatever she wants."

Lin Yousheng lowered his head, feeling very confused.If it's what Xie Qingqiao said, then Song Shi really shouldn't stay in this place anymore, but... She thought about it, if Song Shi really left with Xie Qingqiao, would she still be able to see her again?

She asked: "You told her? But she didn't go with you, why?"

"As I said, she is not in a good state of mind, and she is very repulsive about changing to a new environment."

Lin Yousheng was silent for a long time, she felt that the other party's words had loopholes.

"You're lying to me." After a while, she looked up at Xie Qingqiao with sharp eyes, "Whether she has a mental problem or not, only a doctor is qualified to judge, and besides, what you are doing now..." She sneered, "I have never seen anyone express their kindness by buying people around them."

Xie Qingqiao was very calm, "If it's someone else, I'd naturally be willing to tell him what to do with emotion, but for you, the current method is simpler, more direct and more assured, isn't it? The old lady of the Gu family?"

These words pierced into Lin Yousheng's heart like a knife, cutting open the sincerity of the young man she had whitewashed on the outside, revealing the utilitarian and unscrupulous inside. "You want me to lie to her and play with her feelings. You treat me like Lin Yuexia. You just want to use me and throw it away after you use it up, don't you? In your eyes, I don't even deserve to stay in Song Dynasty. by Shi's side, right?"

That's not true, it's just that they feel that they are not the same way.

One day half a year ago, Xie Qingqiao was invited to a banquet hosted by the Gu family, and met Lin Yousheng there once.Before that, she had heard that Gu Qian found a woman, and the other party had a daughter who was about to grow up. The circle used this matter as a topic of conversation, but Gu Qian didn't care, and brought the mother and daughter into the house, and said openly He said that he was willing to raise the child for the other party.At that time, everyone thought he was seriously ill.

Xie Qingqiao saw that woman named Lin Yuexia at the banquet that day, she was really good-looking, but what impressed her even more was the young girl not far away who was [-]% like Lin Yuexia.

It's not because of seductive eyes, but because of the undisguised obsession with fame and fortune revealed by those young eyes at a certain moment, she felt a little pity while admiring them.No matter how ambitious she is, and her status is there, it is impossible to make any troubles. Sure enough, not long after, I heard that under the strong pressure of the old man of the Gu family, the girl was thrown out of the Gu family by Gu Qian.The eldest lady of the Gu family who had only been in office for a few days was exiled to a corner, and she didn't even leave her name in that circle.

No one remembered her, even her biological mother completely severed ties with her, for fear that her identity as Mrs. Gu would be threatened.

That night Xie Qingqiao didn't recognize Lin Yousheng at first, but the next day, she caught Lin Yousheng's secret look in his eyes, and she almost immediately remembered the person who glanced at him at the banquet.Things like ambition cannot disappear just because of a change of environment, so Xie Qingqiao felt that it was safer to lure her than to tell her about Song Shi's physical condition to win sympathy.

But this girl seems... where did she learn the bad habit of Qinggao.

"It's so ugly to say what to use, everyone takes what they need. You help me make Song Shi change his mind, and I will help you get rid of the stumbling blocks on the road."

"It's no use."

"Really? I heard that Gu Qian said that he would cut off your future and make you never go back to Ling'an."

Lin Yousheng tightly clenched his hands until his joints turned white.

"We each get what we need, you, me, and Song Shi, none of us has a loss. I will not disturb your relationship, as long as Song Shi is willing, I will definitely not get in the way. In the end, I just want to make money for her pity." Let's make my wife happy by the way."

Lin Yousheng was silent.Yes, no one has lost, as long as she does it, the road ahead will be much smoother, and Song Shi can get a better life... But no matter what the result is, this is still a betrayal in the end. Song Shi knew the truth, how could they have any chance of being together.

Can she do it well?What she wants, and Song Shi, can have both?Is it possible for Song Shi to forgive her?

"Have you figured it out?" Xie Qingqiao asked.

"You still haven't told me why she won't leave here."

Xie Qingqiao sighed, "I had a hard time in the past few years. I was afraid of causing trouble to others, afraid of becoming a burden, and afraid that I wouldn't be able to adapt. That's probably all. Her mental state is indeed not good. If it wasn't for fear of her overreacting, I would I wouldn't come to you with such a roundabout method." Song Shi's mother who ran away from home could have been ignored, but now that Song Chengdong died, it meant that her last concern in this world was gone. If she gave up by herself Treatment, if the spirit is negative again, it will really kill people.

Lin Yousheng felt uncomfortable when he heard it.

"Can you promise me one more thing?" Lin Yousheng looked at her and asked.

"Say."

Lin Yousheng frowned, feeling sour in his heart, "Don't tell Song Shi what happened today."

"What good is it for me to tell her? If you are good enough, she may not even feel anything." Xie Qingqiao smiled, "Don't worry." This method is actually quite dangerous. Song Shi, if it wasn't for Lin Yousheng's deep thoughts and Song Shi's interest in Lin Yousheng, she wouldn't do it.Therefore, if Lin Yousheng could complete the task without hurting Song Shi's feelings, Xie Qingqiao would be more than happy to help them.

Before leaving, Xie Qingqiao left her contact information and told her to contact her.

She was standing in front of the stop sign waiting for the bus, and received a message from Nan Jing, asking when she would arrive.Lin Yousheng originally wanted to let the pigeons go, but thinking that he might be found to be wrong when he returned to his current state, he made an appointment with Nan Jing at the nearby Xinhua Bookstore.

There were a few people sitting sporadically in the tea area on the first floor of the bookstore. Lin Yousheng propped his chin in a daze, but she didn't notice that Nan Jing walked over.

"What are you thinking? So preoccupied?"

"You're here... don't think about anything."

Nan Jing didn't care, "Then... right question?

Lin Yousheng opened the schoolbag and found that he didn't take any papers at all, so he paused.

The person opposite laughed, "Forget it, I'm really not in the mood to discuss papers on the big weekend, so let me buy you something to drink."

Lin Yousheng breathed a sigh of relief, and then felt a little lost.

They chatted like this, Nan could see that she was absent-minded, but he didn't let the conversation drop once, even Lin Yousheng had to be convinced, it was really comfortable to get along with him.

"It's very comfortable chatting with you." Lin Yousheng said.

"Really, in fact, I was not like this when I was a child. I talked a lot, but my brain was influenced by my parents."

"Uncle and aunt are..."

"They are all doctors. Because of their profession, they are very patient with every patient, persuasive, and soft-spoken. I think this kind of speaking is very stylish. I just imitated them, and it was like this before I knew it. In addition, I also If you want to develop into medicine, you will deliberately observe them."

"You want to be a doctor too? Because of uncles and aunts?"

Nan Jing paused, "No. It's because... someone is sick." His expression became a little downcast, "Although I know that even if I succeed, I may not be able to do anything for her, but... still I can't help but go down that road."

"Oh……"

"What about you, isn't Song Shi all back? Is there anything else you're unhappy about?"

"It has nothing to do with her, it's something else." Lin Yousheng lied without blinking his eyes, "Let me ask you a question, if there is one thing, its intention is not good, even selfish, but the result is not harmful , and even beneficial to everyone, will you do it?"

"Since it is good for everyone, how can you say it is selfish? It must be that some party has to bear the consequences, so you will be entangled? And if you are really selfish, you will not hesitate, unless you need to bear the consequences. You're here, aren't you? You want to balance gains and losses, but you can't?"

Talking to smart people is that simple.

"After all, not everything can be compared with the same amount of data. I can't measure it, and I can't bear it."

"That only shows that you don't know yourself well enough, and you don't know what is more important to you"

"Probably." In the past, she felt that she knew herself very well, and what she wanted had never changed. She wanted to stand out, stand at a high place, and make those who underestimated her and betrayed her regret. Her ambition even Xie Qingqiao was so concrete that a stranger could tell it at a glance, but now, she was not so sure.

The author has something to say:
