June is our farewell song

Chapter 40 The Moon and Sixpence (Part [-])
"Didn't you find it there?" Feng Ziqiu's voice came from the phone receiver, and Gu Yuan shook his head, "Not yet, the key is that I don't know where she will go, just looking for it aimlessly like this, I have to find it." go."

"Then what should we do?" Qi Yu's girl's voice sounded from the other end of the phone.

"I don't know either." Gu Yuan sighed, looking at the dim silhouette standing not far away under the street lamp, Liu Qingsi was still calling Chen Ying's phone number for almost 10 minutes, but from the girl Judging by the always pouting mouth and slightly gloomy expression, the call still hasn't been dialed.

"Damn...why is it getting colder and colder, this damn weather." A gust of cold wind hit, Gu Yuan shrank his neck subconsciously, the coldness floating in the air somehow made him feel a little irritable.

"Oh, what should I do? The weather has suddenly become so cold, and Chen Ying is sick again. I'm afraid her body will not be able to bear it." Qi Yu's murmur came from the other end of the phone, followed by Feng Ziqiu's calm and refreshing voice. "Brother Yuan, let's look around and pay more attention to your side."

"Well, good." Gu Yuan nodded and hung up the phone.

Liu Qingsi walked over with her mobile phone, looking a little sullen.

"Still not connected?" Gu Yuan asked.

"..." Liu Qingsi shook her head slightly.

"Did the two of you know each other before, I mean, before you joined the literary club?"

Liu Qingsi raised her head in surprise and looked at the young man in front of him leaning on the maple tree with one hand in his trouser pocket: "How do you know?"

"Hazy feeling." Gu Yuan curled his lips, "After all, if you consider the literary club activities, the time for the two of you to communicate is too limited. I am afraid that you can call her 'Xiaoying' affectionately. Those few meetings were not enough."

"You too underestimate the speed at which girls can build friendship." Liu Qingsi rolled her eyes at him, then changed a comfortable position and leaned against the trunk of a maple tree in front of Gu Yuan, "However, you You are right, we have known each other for a long time.”

"Ah."

"Although it may not be obvious, Xiaoying and I both studied in Nanhua Junior High School, and we are classmates. Xiaoying...has always been the type who works hard in silence, and she is the same as everyone in the class. The relationship is neither far nor close, neither good nor bad. In other words, it is alienation. Thinking about it now, maybe since then, she has begun to build a high wall of her heart to isolate herself from other people bit by bit Come on."

"That's it..." Gu Yuan murmured. It turned out that Chen Ying was also a student of Nanhua Junior High School, and her mother Lin Lin was a teacher of Beiling Middle School. Originally, he thought that Chen Ying would be an alumni of the same junior high school as himself, but unexpectedly it was Liu Qing Si's classmate, "So...then Chen Ying and Wu Xin also..."

"Huh? What?"

"It's nothing." Gu Yuan didn't want to continue talking about this topic, "Go on."

"Chen Ying's mother is a middle school teacher, and her father is just an ordinary employee in the factory, ordinary and vulgar. Although he is not a bad person, he has an insurmountable problem - cowardice. Maybe it is because of being in the factory all the year round. Marriage and family lack the right to speak, and Chen Ying's father is a person with no opinions, so everything related to Chen Ying's family education is handed over to her mother Lin Lin."

"Teacher Lin Lin..." Gu Yuan couldn't help but wryly smiled when he thought of the reputation of that person among the students in junior high school.

"Lin Lin is a very strong person, so strong that Chen Ying can't resist her at all, and can only passively accept everything she arranges. In the eyes of that woman, her daughter is a tool for her to realize her unfinished ideals. The branches she imagined will be ruthlessly removed when they are just sprouting."

"Hey, you're talking too much..."

"It's not too much at all. Huh, Xiaoying obviously likes literature so much, but her mother doesn't allow her to read books other than those required by the curriculum standards, so she can only hide in bed with a flashlight in the middle of the night and secretly read books. She is nearsighted. Did you know that I lent her the flashlight. One day she fell asleep reading a book at night, and when her mother found out in the morning, she scolded her for a long time, and then took away the flashlight and the book It's gone." Liu Qingsi looked at the maple leaves fluttering in the air with a dazed gaze, "However, the first thing that guy said to me the next day was, Qingsi, is that flashlight expensive? I will find a way to compensate you."

"what?"

"That's what she said, and then she really didn't eat for several days, so she just saved up the money for the flashlight and returned it to me." Liu Qingsi smiled bitterly, "Maybe I'm still not in her heart. It's 'friend'."

"I don't think that's necessarily the case."

"Ok?"

"Specifically, let's talk about it after meeting Chen Ying." Gu Yuan laughed, "Do you know where she will go?"

"I don't know, but if it was in the past, after running away from home, the only place she would go alone was probably the dessert shop next to the junior high school."

"Why, does it have any special meaning to her there?"

"No, if there is, it's probably because the boss is a writer." Liu Qingsi pursed her lips slightly, "Let's go there and have a look first."

"Okay, I'll notify Qi Yu and Feng Ziqiu immediately."

The door of the bus closed in front of the two of them. In the narrow space, the effect of carbon dioxide raised the temperature, and the warmth carried an uncomfortable smell.

With the sound of electric motors humming, a bus drove past the door of the "Super Lucky" dessert shop.

Desperate Chen Ying had no focus in her eyes, she just stared at the empty table in a daze. At this moment, with a "click", a pudding cake on a white porcelain plate was placed in front of her. Followed by a cup of steaming strawberry milkshake.

"I haven't been here for a long time, what happened?" A man in a dark purple suit and uniform sat down opposite Chen Ying. He was Si Junmo, the owner of this dessert shop, and he was also a graduate of Nanhua Middle School.

"..." Chen Ying shook her head lightly.

"Have you quarreled with your mother?" The man smiled slightly, "Don't be so nervous, it's just a quarrel. There is no need to explain and apologize for the reconciliation between mother and daughter. Go back quickly after eating. She must be very worried about you."

As he sat there, the dust in the light spread like a thin mist.His expression didn't change, under the thin forehead hair, eyes in shadow, amber eyes stared at him, Chen Ying suddenly felt sad.

What are you doing?

He was very clearly aware of his absurdity and ridiculousness, but the first thing that surged up was not regret but sadness.

Escaping from home simply doesn't make any sense.

Because Chen Ying knew clearly that they were all thinking for her own good, for her to have a better life in the future.

But what happened?Why can't I control my urge to cry?

Even though she knew that her mother had no malice towards her, and even Chen Ying herself agreed with her mother's ideas and practices to a certain extent, but...she was always doing things that were completely contrary to it, and the more she wanted to try her best to cater to her. , but the body began to resist uncontrollably, and the balance in my heart became more and more tilted.

Chen Ying gently stirred the powdered milk in the strawberry milkshake with a stirring rod, and drew circles on the ground with her toes in a sullen manner.

Jun Mo looked at the girl who was troubled by trifles, looked at her frowning and drooping face, and suddenly there was a ripple in her heart. Once upon a time, they also had such years.

Even though it's been a long time, I still can't help feeling a little nostalgic sometimes.

"Xiaoying! You are indeed here!"

While struggling, someone stood in front of Chen Ying.

Chen Ying raised her head, and she saw a familiar face.

"I……"

"Qing Si, it's you, long time no see."

Jun Mo's eyes fell on a girl not far away, and then he smiled and said hello, Liu Qingsi nodded to him, and his eyes immediately fell back on Chen Ying.

"I..." Chen Ying lowered her head again as she spoke.

Girls like Liu Qingsi have always been labeled as smart, arrogant, black-bellied, and poisonous in their impressions. After learning about her background, she might have to add the label of "nobility".The innate superiority leaves others far behind. You don't have to make false claims to anyone, and you don't need to look at anyone's face. You always talk with your face up, and your eyes are full of sunshine.

Even if all external factors were ruled out, just that face and outstanding figure were enough to shine brightly.

And the girl who carefully calculates the living expenses with her fingers for the sake of living is absolutely like heaven and earth.

It is like a character that has been set long ago, walking on two parallel lines that are far apart.Chen Ying looked up, only seeing her tall figure.

People who are not of the same world, different borders, incompatible.

But she has been helping herself. Except for Wu Xin, no one can treat herself so well.

Not even my own parents.

The more this happened, the more pain Chen Ying felt.

"Your father should still be looking for you outside now, don't you think about sending him a message or calling him?" Gu Yuan said softly, "If I'm not wrong, you ran out secretly. "

"I……"

"Gu Yuan! Here we come!" At this moment, Qi Yu's energetic voice came from behind him. Gu Yuan turned his head, and it was indeed Feng Ziqiu and Qi Yu.

But behind those two people was a middle-aged man.

Seeing Chen Ying's face change, Gu Yuan immediately understood the identity of the middle-aged man, and then heard Chen Ying's cautious voice.

"dad……"
