Chapter 19 The Power of Women (1)
After being discharged from the hospital, Yu Jian became more and more empty, and he had no motivation for everything in life, and in his heart...

After being discharged from the hospital, Yu Jian became more and more empty, with no motivation for everything in life, and no desires or ideals in his heart.And since the day he was discharged from the hospital, Yu Jian moved out from Su Lei and rented a bungalow in Chaoyang District.

On the day of moving, Su Lei didn't stop Yu Jian, she didn't even help Yu Jian to clean up the messy things.She just stood on the balcony with her back to Yu Jian, as if she was the only one in the huge room.

During the days before the hospitalization, Yu Jian lived with Su Lei all the time, it was late autumn, although it was a bit chilly, it would be nice to wear more clothes.And when Yu Jian was discharged from the hospital, the weather seemed to enter the "March [-]th" all of a sudden - it was more or less tolerable during the day, but at night Yu Jian was often woken up by the cold weather. A ventilated place.So the next day, he sealed the windows with duct tape, and went to the farmer's market to buy an electric mattress, thinking that he could survive the winter.But that night, he felt his body heat up all of a sudden, as if the sun was spinning on his belly.He woke up from his sleep and rolled out of the bed suddenly - he saw that the electric mattress caught fire, and it had already burned to the quilt, but fortunately the fire was not too big and did not hurt his body.But the next day, Yu Jian felt that he couldn't stay in this place any longer.

It costs about 2000 yuan to rent a one-bedroom house in Shilipu, which is a lot of money for Jian.He hadn't worked since leaving the magazine, and his previous savings were running low.Moreover, the heating fee in winter is 18 yuan per square meter, and the heating fee for a house of about 60 square meters is 1080 yuan.At noon, a young couple renting a house in the same courtyard was moving. Yu Jian found out that they were going to move to the basement. Although there was no heating in the basement, it was warmer than the bungalow.The couple also told Yu Jian that a 200-square-meter basement only costs 103 yuan, which is much cheaper than a bungalow.Yu Jian followed the young couple to the basement of Building [-] in a community.It was a newly developed community, and the basement was of course new, and there was a pungent smell of formaldehyde after scraping the putty.But as soon as I walked to the basement, there was a gust of warm wind blowing inside, like a big greenhouse.Although that kind of warmth is limited, compared with the biting cold wind outside, it makes people feel better.Just the smell of damp and decay in the basement, almost suffocating.

Yu Jian followed the young couple to the basement where they rented—a gloomy and damp house, where it looked clean, but the huge pipes exposed from the top of the corridor made people feel an unprecedented sense of oppression and solemnity , giving a feeling of being bound.There are no windows in all the rooms, so the air in the entire basement is almost stagnant, and there is a rotten smell in the air all the time.But it's safe to say it's a great place to spend the winter.Due to the lack of air circulation, the cold air from outside could not be blown in. Coupled with the ground heat, it did feel much warmer inside.Although Yu Jian felt disgusted with this place, he still decided to move here.On the day of moving, Wanmei came to find Yu Jian, and when she heard that Yu Jian was going to move to the basement, she looked at Yu Jian in surprise, with an incredible feeling.

"You need to find a job." Wanmei said to Jian.

"Yeah, that's what I thought too. When I'm settled, I'm going to get a job."

"Do you still want to see the vegetarians?"

"Is she in a better mood?"

"Hmph, who knows? But she called yesterday and asked me to come to you—"

"What?"

"She wants to ask you out for dinner, probably because she wants to—"

"No need!"

"why?"

"No reason."

"I think it's better for you to meet, at least it's beneficial to both of you."

"It's only now that I realize that Su and I are people living in two worlds—two completely different worlds."

When Wanmei left, Yu Jian asked her not to tell Su Lei that he was living in the basement now.Wanmei didn't understand, but seeing Yu Jian's insistence, she reluctantly agreed.

In the evening, Wanmei came to Su Lei's residence, and Su Lei was taking a bath at that time.When she opened the door for Wanmei wearing a bath towel, she called "Jian" in surprise, but when she opened the door, she found that Wanmei was alone. She was stunned for a moment, and the smile on her face was frozen It seems.Wanmei shrugged her shoulders and smiled helplessly.When Wanmei told her that Yu Jian had moved to the basement, especially when she said that she didn't want to let her know where Yu Jian lived, Su Lei suddenly sobbed and said, "Maybe... maybe I hurt him."

That night, Su Lei didn't fall asleep until late at night. She didn't know if she should forgive everything in view of the past, but she knew that the current self didn't have the courage to accept such a reality.Although the memory buried in her heart is so profound and perfect, when she thought of the person she loved holding a woman 20 years older than herself in the past, she almost collapsed .The cruel reality made the flower of her love wither all of a sudden, and the impulse for love in her heart suddenly became so helpless.

At noon the next day, when Su Lei and Wanmei came to the basement, Yu Jian was eating instant noodles for lunch.When Wanmei left yesterday, Yu Jian thought that she would tell Su Lei about her living situation, but he didn't expect Su Lei to come so soon.When Wanmei walked in, she felt a little guilty, so she explained to Jian, "I'm sorry, but Su Lei insisted on coming, and there is nothing I can do." Yu Jian turned his head and took a careful look at Su Lei.Su Lei looked a little shy, and the shyness on her cheeks could still be seen under the dim light.

"You just eat this?" Su Lei avoided Yu Jian's eyes and walked forward.When she passed by Yu Jian, she realized that there was only one chair in the whole room, so she sat casually on the single bed next to her.

"I haven't taken care of looking for a job these days." As he spoke, he turned his head and glared at Wanmei again.Wanmei curled her lips at Yu Jian, showing a very helpless look.

Although it was noon, the light in the basement was very dark, and the desk lamp in the room gave off a weak light, which made people feel very depressed.The unique smell of instant noodles filled the room.After Su Lei sat down, he didn't look at the mirror, but just stared at the smooth concrete floor, and looked very focused.Because of Wanmei's presence, Yu Jian felt very uncomfortable, so he proposed to take a walk outside, and Su Lei agreed.

The three wandered around the community for a while, Wanmei excused that the weather was cold and went back to the college.Su Lei and Yu Jian walked out of the community and came to a coffee shop outside the community. As soon as they sat down, the first snow of this winter fell outside the window.Beijing rarely snows in winter, and there are only a handful of snowy days throughout the winter.Especially this year, the snow came later.If it weren't for those naughty children looking forward to snow all day long just after entering winter, probably no one in the Forbidden City would like snow any more.Because of work, whether driving or taking a bus, the road after snow will make people a little more worried.And the road after the snow is almost so congested that people forget that this is in the capital, and the cars that stop in front of the traffic lights are so primitive.And those traffic policemen also hate snow - most of the snow falls at night, and the next morning, the whole city is tightly covered with a layer of ice and snow, sprinkled with salt water, deiced, sealed off the Beijing Expressway, etc. A series of "snow protection plans" made these hard-working policemen feel that the snow is really not at the right time.

Seeing the snowflakes flying all over the world outside the window, Su Lei and Yu Jian suddenly brightened up.Especially Su Lei, she didn't have the courage and confidence to accept the pain brought by the man in front of her, but Xue's artistic conception suddenly brightened her heart.She took a sip of coffee, looked up at Yu Jian who was staring sideways out of the window, and said, "I thought... I don't know... I think I still know..."

For a moment, Su Lei didn't know what to say.Yu Jian turned his head in surprise and asked, "What do you want to say?"

"Actually, I want to say sorry to you, I shouldn't let you move away, let alone your legs—"
