Chapter 4 Love and Betrayal (1)
At five o'clock in the morning, Yu Jian came to Su Lei's residence.The moment Su Lei opened the door, his four eyes met, and the eyes of the two instantly formed a straight line...

At five o'clock in the morning, Yu Jian came to Su Lei's residence.The moment Su Lei opened the door, their eyes met, and their eyes instantly formed a straight line, just like the meeting on the 718 bus a year ago.Su Lei's eyes were bloodshot, probably because he didn't get a good rest last night.Originally, both of them thought that this unnecessary journey would end, but last night, Su Lei said to Jian: "My home is in Yanqing."

Yu Jian raised his head, glanced at Su Lei, and said, "Climbing Badaling tomorrow—that's your home."

"How many times have you been there?"

"three times."

"Is it all Badaling?"

"It's all Badaling."

"Tomorrow I can take you to my hometown to climb the 'Wild Great Wall'. Although that section of the Great Wall is not as complete and flat as Badaling, it is a place I often went to when I was a child. Because there are not many tourists there, it is very quiet. .”

"Is it very far?"

"It's not far. We can drive there, park the car in the village, and walk a short distance."

So, the two met, and the next day Yu Jian took a taxi to Su Lei's residence in Madian, and then drove to Yanqing.

In Beijing in summer, the asphalt road at [-] o'clock in the morning has already started a day of hustle and bustle.The office workers pedaled their bicycles, pedaling unhurriedly on the asphalt road.I heard that there is an old worker near the college who rides a bicycle at five o'clock every morning, and has to pedal for more than two hours to go to work in Dongzhimen. Except for rainy and snowy days, the old worker does this every day.

Although there are not many taxis on the asphalt road in the morning, as long as one passes by, it is usually empty.Not long after Yu Jian stood at the entrance of the college, he drove a Fukang.

From Chaoyang Road to Beijing-Guangzhou Upper Third Ring Road, it only takes half an hour to get to Madian.Su Lei's home is in a community next to a bustling road. The three-bedroom house was left to her by her aunt after she went abroad.

There is nothing special about the house, just a few oil paintings and Chinese paintings on the ground next to the wall, as well as a few imitation works of the Renaissance.Su Lei found the car keys and wanted Yu Jian to rest for a while, but after Yu Jian walked in, he stood at the door very restrainedly, without any sign of wanting to go in.Although Su Lei beckoned him to come in and sit for a while, Yu Jian just responded, but didn't take off his shoes—shoes?Yes, the living room is covered with solid wood floors, and several pairs of slippers are placed in turn at the door.Yu Jian didn't have the habit of taking off his shoes. Although he also grew up in the city, it was only a small city.His family is in the teacher's dormitory building in the school, and there is no one in the whole building with wooden floors or carpets, all of them are floor tiles.The city is neither close to the sea nor has any tourist resources. The city has developed very slowly in recent years, and the city's economy is still at the level of the early 90s.After coming to Beijing, Mei Yihan drove him to a villa in the suburbs for the weekend.After following Mei Yihan into the living room and sitting down, Yu Jian didn't take off his shoes. Although Mei Yihan didn't say anything, she still took a pair of slippers for Yu Jian.While Yu Jian was embarrassingly changing his shoes, Mei Yihan was cleaning the floor.The figure of Mei Yihan made Yu Jian feel that he was so out of place with this international metropolis.In the future, when going to the villa for vacation, the first thing Mei Yihan does after getting off the car is to tell Yu Jian to take off his shoes first.Although it's been a long time, Yu Jian has gotten used to it, but whenever he goes to a colleague's or friend's house for the first time, he is always the last one to go in. If there is no special appointment, he will even just stand blankly at the door.

Su Lei's Mazda was left by her aunt when she went abroad a year ago.At that time, Su Lei had just graduated and was working in a design institute near Liangma Bridge.Originally, the distance was not too far, but Su Lei didn't want to take the bus, and it was not cost-effective for a college student who had just started working, so his aunt left the bus to Su Lei.

Take the Badaling Expressway directly from the North Third Ring Road, and you can go directly to the Badaling Great Wall.Since there is a toll of more than [-] yuan to go on the expressway, Su Lei usually takes the auxiliary road when going home to visit relatives at the end of the month.On weekdays, there is a lot of traffic jams on important roads such as Jianxiang Bridge, Beisha Beach, and Qinghe River Bridge, and the traffic jams are even worse on holidays.

It happened to be Friday that day, starting from Madian, stop and go along the way, the driver didn't feel anything, but the driver was anxious to get angry.The most troublesome thing is that Yu Jian rarely speaks.It was only after walking to Xisanqi that Su Lei turned his head to talk to Yu Jian.

Two hours later, the two arrived at Dongsi Mountain in Yanqing. The car was running on the asphalt road like a soaring bird, shuttling through the green trees and forests.The wilderness of Yanqing still maintains almost the original ecological appearance. The rolling mountains, lush forests and steep mountains are just like a Chinese landscape painting with rich colors.There is a winding and undulating city wall on the mountain. Although it is not as complete and majestic as the Great Wall in the general sense, its broken walls and walls eroded by wind and rain still engrave a memory of history.This is just like the sea and the lake - you may have been to the coast of the East China Sea and seen the surging sea, but you may not have visited the sweetness of the tranquil lake.

Su Lei has been here more than once, and she is very familiar with every plant and tree here.She found a kind woman from the village and parked the car in front of her house.

Both of them were carrying gray backpacks. Although they didn't speak, they turned their heads to look at each other from time to time.Although Yu Jian was very excited, he couldn't express this excitement on his face.For even a mood produces an inner quality that cannot be expressed in words.

Dongsi Mountain is not high, about 300 meters.Most of the ruins of the Great Wall on the top of the mountain have been damaged, and only a few short sections still maintain the true and complete side of the ancient city wall.Although it is only an incomplete part of the Great Wall, the cultural relics protection unit still lists it as a key protection object, and collects the ancient bricks that the villagers removed from the city wall.

Due to the disrepair of the city wall and the poor location, this section of the Great Wall has not become a tourist attraction.Only the nearby residents know that there is an ancient Great Wall on this mountain, and only these villagers know the history of this ancient city wall.Of course, they also hope that one day, this place will also be developed into a scenic spot, but just looking at the ruined walls on the top of the mountain, this hope turns into despair.On the mountain, there are still a few sections of the city wall that look like beacon towers, which have been polished by the vicissitudes of the years so that only the backbone of the Great Wall can be seen, and the majestic physique has long since disappeared.However, looking at this real history, you can still feel the winding body and majestic physique, and at the same time, you can get close to the reality of historical sites.

When the two came to the Great Wall, they both sighed and signaled each other to rest here for a while.Yu Jian took out water and food, and while eating, he looked at the Great Wall and villages in the distance, as if the world belonged to him all of a sudden, and naturally he felt a sense of accomplishment.

"Jian, do you know why I brought you here?" After lunch, Su Lei asked when the two were admiring the mountains with their backs facing each other.

"..."

"To be honest, when I met you on the bus, I thought you were a very cheerful man, you would go after everything you want as straightforwardly as I do, but you only use your eyes Look, I don't have the courage to express your inner thoughts and feelings. During the days when I was looking for you, I scolded you, hated you, and cursed you to disappear in this world immediately, but I can never give up To find your wish."

But Yu Jian didn't make a sound, just gently touched his cheek with his hands, and looked into the distance thoughtfully, as if everything was in the blue sky in the distance.Yu Jian had to consider his own situation, his past, and even his future.But a woman has been looking for herself for more than a year for a one-sided relationship, and even used a very clever entry point to integrate herself into her life. What a kind woman she is.Her persistence, her courage, her calmness, her plainness, and her thinking all had a huge impact on Jian.Thinking of this, Yu Jian felt an impulse—he put his arms around Su Lei's shoulders lightly, listening to the sound of Su Lei breathing evenly in his arms, but he didn't have the courage to face his past. Facing your future with confidence, it seems that the dark clouds after a shower cover the waves in your heart, and you can't generate any passion for the unexpected surprises around you.

"Yu Jian, do you love me?"

Yu Jian turned his head and looked at Su Lei profoundly. He saw the breath of youth buried in Su Lei's innocent eyes.

"Su Lei, I want to tell you about my past."

"Does it matter?"

"This is very important. To be honest, Su Lei, you have moved me. Although I didn't have any extravagant expectations, and I didn't express my excitement too much, you did move me. The scene on the bus last year The first time I met, I thought it was just a fragment of my life. I never imagined that I could see you again in the huge Beijing. But when I know that you have been looking for me this year, especially when you are looking for me And when I paid so much, I was really touched. This kind of touch is expressionless, and this kind of touch is thrilling, but for me, there are too many losses and annoyances after being moved. I hate Myself. I really want to repay you for cherishing me in my own way, but I don’t know if I am qualified to explain my past to you. Sometimes, I really want to tell you all about me, but, I And afraid of hurting you. I'm really conflicted and don't know what to do."

"Do you already have a girlfriend? Don't lie to me."

Yu Jian shook his head, and went on to say: "If a year ago, I had the courage I have today, or your courage can be like this, I think we will be happy, but today, one year later, I feel that I have the same courage as you do now. Changed a lot, of course, this is my own reason. Last night, I finally figured it out, I want to tell you everything that happened in the past year, whether we have a future or not, as long as you want to hear me tell you , and I'll tell you."

"The past year? Do you mean your life in Beijing in the year since we met on the bus? That is, the story that happened around you during the year I worked so hard to find you?"

"Yes. Do you want to hear me tell about this disgraceful experience? There are only two people in Beijing who know about it. One is me and the other is Mei Yihan."

Su Lei didn't answer bluntly, but just nodded.

"I hope that I have the courage to tell this story, and I hope that you will listen to me, let me finish, let me speak clearly, don't interrupt me-I am afraid if you interrupt me I don't have the courage to speak any more. Can you promise me?"

"I can."

Yu Jian turned around, turned his back to Su Lei, looked at the broken city wall in the distance, and seemed to have returned to the past...

"After graduating from university, I have not been able to find a job. I was 23 years old. The day after my 23rd birthday, Mei Yihan came to my house. She and my father were classmates in college, and she I have pursued my father since I was in college, but at that time my father had already fallen in love with my mother. However, Mei Yihan’s love for my father is still so persistent. The encounter between her and my father is also very romantic. They are seniors I met at an art exhibition when I was in Beijing, because I was about to graduate in a year, and both of them wanted to stay in Beijing. But at that time, jobs were assigned by the state, and individuals had no right to choose.” When Yu Jian said this, he suddenly for a moment.

"When Mei Yihan wooed my father for the first time, he rejected her. The reason is that my father has fallen in love with my mother and has made a vow of love. Both my father and my mother are from Shandong College students, the distribution problem is easy to solve. When my father told Mei Yihan that he and my mother were about to get engaged, Mei Yihan still had to fight with my mother. Although my father also had a crush on Mei Yihan, but at that time he I like my mother more. Once, during an outing, my father wanted to explain clearly to Mei Yihan and told her that it was impossible for him and Mei Yihan. This time, my father and I It was decided after discussion with my mother. However, during the outing, in order to avoid other classmates, the two of them walked into an unfamiliar forest, and they kept talking about Sunset Mei Yihan before giving up. But when the two went to find other classmates Only then did they realize that they had boarded the car ahead of time and returned to the capital. The two were unfamiliar with the place where they were born, surrounded by valleys and woods, and the nearest village was more than 40 kilometers away. In desperation, the two had no choice but to ask a nearby Walking to the village, hoping to spend the night in the village. Unfortunately, the two of them lost their way in the dark and went until late at night, but did not find a village. At this time, the two of them were exhausted, especially Mei Yihan, A woman walked so far, and when she couldn't go any more, my father had to carry her on his back. In the moonlight, there were no lights to guide them. Luckily, they were in a wood They found an abandoned dilapidated thatched hut, and the two had to sit down in this room and wait for the dawn.

"The next day, when the two rushed to school, my father told my mother what happened last night in tears. Although my mother hated my father very much, the relationship between the two of them was still very strong. Besides, find Mei Yihan The conversation was also agreed by my mother. Before the graduation assignment, my mother forgave my father. What is more favorable is that both of them were assigned to the same middle school. My father and Mei Yihan broke up like this.
