When will the fog clear

Chapter 4
"Okay, don't quarrel with her, it's not that you don't know that she is an idiot, be careful that she turns against us..."

"I don't even have the score yet... I'm really defeated by you."

Lin Miao looked at her hand. She wrote the score in the afternoon so quickly and directly, without any hesitation. She thought she would have forgotten it after so long, but no, how can she say that she has learned something for more than ten years? Forget or forget?The only thing she can do is to close the box and seal that memory again.

A few years ago, Director Wang released news that the casting plan for his new film had changed. Meng San took the opportunity to persuade Susan to undergo an appendectomy, and this time Susan finally agreed.

But Susan suddenly said that she didn't need Lin Miao to take care of her, and asked her to go to the hotel to bring back the dry-cleaned clothes that had been left there before, and then go on vacation.I didn't say how to arrange it in the next year. After all, Susan's official assistant is coming back. She... probably should go back to the public relations company.

The hotel Lin Miao was going to was far away from where she lived. She took three subway lines and walked a long way to get there. However, she got back the dry cleaning clothes that Susan stayed here when she attended an event last time.The two coats were quite heavy, and Lin Miao walked towards the door with one on the left and one on the right, when someone called her name.

"Lin Miao? Is it Lin Miao?"

Lin Miao followed the voice and saw a man and a woman, holding a child in their hands.She thought for a while, and then vaguely remembered who these two people were, and they were both her classmates in the same department.

The young mother asked: "Are you also here to attend the Alumni Association in the same city? Why don't you go up? It's on the second floor. We've been late for a long time."

Her husband subconsciously said: "How is it possible? Who will invite her?"

Lin Miao grabbed the bag tightly, pursed her lips and said, "Long time no see, I'm here to work."

The other party might feel embarrassed, patted her husband, and smiled embarrassingly: "I'm sorry, don't blame him, he never speaks without thinking. Do you know that Xie Jiaqi has returned to China? I thought she notified you..."

"It's okay, I'm sorry, I still have things to do, let's go first." Lin Miao obviously didn't want to say any more, so she hurriedly left and walked out the door.

I also vaguely heard the man say: "What are you talking about with that kind of black-hearted woman? Don't be afraid of bad luck!"

"Didn't you say that it has nothing to do with her? There is insufficient evidence to withdraw the lawsuit, so don't talk nonsense, everyone is a classmate, she is miserable enough."

"What's the matter? This person has to bear the consequences for doing something wrong. Otherwise, wouldn't the world be in chaos if anyone dared to kill?"

Then Lin Miao couldn't hear it anymore, and she didn't want to hear anything.

It turned out that they happened to be holding an alumni meeting here. Fortunately, she came late and missed the time, so she didn't meet anyone again.

She originally wanted to ask Jiaqi to have dinner at night, but she hesitated on the phone and said that she was not free, probably because of this, right?

Lin Miao walked forward with a numb face. She didn't even look carefully when she passed the exit of the underground parking lot. A car just sped out from the darkness. One could imagine the danger for her coming out so suddenly.The harsh horn sound made her instinctively take two steps back, but it was too late to avoid it.

Chen Jizhen was browsing today's newspaper highlights, the driver suddenly braked suddenly, causing him to almost hit the front seat, the driver apologized and hurriedly got out of the car to check the situation, it seemed that he had hit someone, he frowned displeased .But the driver didn't deal with it for a long time, and soon returned to the car, but Chen Jizhen's eyes were fixed on a certain place in front of the car without blinking.

"Mr. Chen, that lady rushed out suddenly, and I have already braked in time..." The driver saw that Chen Jizhen was silent and his expression was very serious, so his tone was a little nervous.

Chen Jizhen's mind was not here, but asked: "What did she say? Was she injured?"

The driver shook his head, hesitated for a while before answering: "The lady insisted that she was fine, and refused to let me help... And I think you know her, she was in the hospital last time..." Chen Jizhen gave her a cold look. Come, he didn't dare to speak anymore, like a low air pressure.

"Be careful next time you drive."

"Yes."

Chen Jizhen was in the dark like this, watching Lin Miao stand up staggeringly, carrying two large bags and walking forward step by step, looking very strenuous.In his impression, she was a very energetic girl, but now under the bright sunshine, he actually felt that her back was sad and heavy.However, thinking of his younger sister who was still lying in the hospital, he felt that such apathy was insignificant.

At least she can run and jump and talk, can't she?
He has no reason to be soft-hearted towards her, after all, she can't avoid herself.

Lin Miao felt that she would be happier if she could not hear or speak. Although she had already been numb after hearing too many ugly words, the human heart is made of flesh, and it still hurts when it is stabbed. She can do it. Just wait, there is no deadline.

When I was walking, my ankle was uncomfortable. It might be because I fell and sprained it just now. Lin Miao first sent the clothes to Susan's residence. Misfortunes never come singly.

However, Lin Miao rubbed the medicine on the wound with ease, as if she had done it many times, without any trace of coquettishness.She had suffered more serious injuries before. When she was moving goods in the warehouse behind the supermarket, her colleagues couldn’t hold down the boxes, and the heavy boxes threw their heads and faces at her. It became swollen and I couldn't move my body for a few days.In the once dark room, she was frightened by her appearance when she looked in the mirror, but surprisingly, she didn't cry.

People are really weird, or she herself is weird, she laughs when she wants to cry, and cries when she wants to laugh.

Just like today.

Why are you crying?Just laugh.

Since there is no way back, just keep going forward.

Some people are deserted, while others are lively.

The alumni association in the same city will basically come if they are free, but it is not a pure gathering.

There are those who connect with each other, those who show off, those who take the opportunity to find a partner, some who build relationships, and some who just gossip.

Lin Miao's name suddenly appeared in everyone's ears. Although she had never participated in the class reunion, none of the people present seemed to have forgotten her.

This student representative who used to be No.1 in the entrance examination is the protagonist of a certain big event.

"It's been three or four years since we graduated, what is she doing now?"

"I don't know, she said she came to work, but she looks messy and disheveled. This point is in the hotel, and she still has dry cleaning clothes... Who knows what kind of work it is?" The man described what he saw just now with a look of disgust. heard.

"You mean... no way? She's not going to..."

Some of these people are good at it, and naturally some are not so good at it. Hearing this kind of groundless topic seems to be energized.

But the man couldn't speak again, his thigh hurt from his wife's pinching.

"What are you talking about yourself? Wouldn't it be good to ask Xie Jiaqi if you want to know? They had a good relationship back then!" A male classmate yelled carelessly, wearing a gold necklace as thick as a little finger around his neck.

Xie Jiaqi hadn't come back for a long time, she was inevitably happy to see her old classmate, and she lost track of the conversation, when suddenly she heard someone calling her name, she turned her head in confusion.

But I heard the other party ask again: "Hey, Xie Jiaqi, they want to know how Lin Miao is doing. You are so friendly, so if you know the situation, let everyone know?" The gold is still shining brightly, "I heard that you come to work in this hotel? Tell me how much she pays for one night..."

The more you say it, the more outrageous it is. Even if you drink alcohol, there shouldn't be such an ugly dialogue between classmates.

Xie Jiaqi stood up abruptly, picked up a glass of juice in front of her and poured it over, sneered: "I thought it was someone who was full of inhuman words, but now I finally remembered, it's just a coward who can't make love!"

"Xie Jiaqi! You!" This person once pursued Lin Miao, but Lin Miao flatly refused, and he struggled for a while before he stopped.

"Be gentle, I can hear you."

"Don't pretend to be so righteous, who doesn't know about her crap? Lin Miao is your friend, so what is Chen Baoyue? Are you the Virgin?"

In an instant, everyone's focus was on them.

Xie Jiaqi took a deep breath, and then said in a cold voice: "They are all my good friends, but I don't mind saying it again now, I believe in Miaomiao! No matter what everyone thinks, after all, classmates In the field, save a little bit of virtue and count it as a blessing, is that okay?"

Someone on the girl's side immediately agreed with Xie Jiaqi, but she was not in the mood to stay any longer, and left after sitting for a long time.

In the evening, Lin Miao had been hesitating about "when will he go back to his hometown", when he suddenly received a call from Xie Jiaqi.

"What are you doing?" Xie Jiaqi asked nasally.

Lin Miao looked at the online ticket booking page on the computer and said softly, "Watch a TV series."

"What good drama, can you recommend it to me? Is there anyone I acted well?"

Lin Miao was angry and funny: "Who can have the charm of Miss Xie? I'm waiting to see your play."

"It's early, I just signed a contract, and it's hard to meet a good role."

"Jiaqi, just say what you want, you and me, do you still need this?" Lin Miao knew her well, so it was obvious that she had something to say when she had nothing to say.

Xie Jiaqi's tone was a bit difficult: "I went to the class reunion today."

Lin Miao couldn't see her, didn't know what she looked like now, but felt that she could imagine it, and smiled and said, "What did they say? Are you arguing for me again?"

"Sorry, I should have told you."

Lin Miao paused and said slowly, "There's nothing to apologize for. I won't go even if you tell me. I know you're doing it for my own good. Don't worry, I'm fine."

"No, you're not good. I knew it but I didn't dare to ask. I didn't dare to say a word after so long." Xie Jiaqi looked excited into the microphone as if she was about to cry.

Lin Miao was startled, slipped his hand and clicked the confirmation button, and bought a ticket to go back to his hometown tomorrow.

"Jiaqi, it's a bad day, and a good day, so I will be fine, you don't have to worry about me." It will get better slowly, she believes.Look at her, the first year she couldn't even think about going home, afraid to see her parents in pain, but now she's much better.

The Chinese New Year atmosphere in small places is stronger than that in big cities. The market is bustling with people buying new year's goods, and every household is pasted with new and festive couplets.

No matter how times change, going home for the New Year is an eternal tradition.

When Lin Miao came back, she didn't notify her family.

So when Ms. Lin saw her daughter, apart from being surprised, she was full of surprises, and she called the child's father.

As soon as Lin Miao lost her luggage, she hugged her mother and shouted softly, "Mom, I'm back."

Mother Lin said "Ouch" and patted her on the back: "My good little girl is back, it's good to be back."

Papa Lin came out of the kitchen in a hurry, stopped at the door again, and remained silent.Lin Miao separated from her mother, rubbed her hands together and called out, "Dad!"

Lin's father nodded: "I didn't make a phone call, I didn't buy any food..." After saying that, he went back to the kitchen. In recent years, her father rarely talked, and Lin Miao was used to it.

At night, just after Lin Miao took a shower, she was sitting on the bed and rubbing medicine on herself. Mother Lin knocked on the door and came in, making it too late for her to hide.

Mother Lin smelled Dieda wine and saw her daughter hiding the medicinal wine behind her back. She felt distressed and sad, so she sat beside her and asked, "Why are you hurt again?"

"I accidentally fell down yesterday, it's okay." Lin Miao said with a smile.
