MTL - Long Time Loved Friend-Chapter 36 that love letter
When Yunzhi hung up the phone during the day, Yu Mingxia accidentally saw this string of numbers. Based on Yunzhi's expression at that time, it was not difficult to guess that the caller was Nan Qiao.
The phone kept ringing, neither Yu Mingxia nor Yun Zhi went to get the phone.
Finally, after nearly a minute, the living room became quiet.
"Some people are really weird. They don't like you and don't let you go. They wait until you are about to give up before they come to keep you. After they keep you, they don't cherish you. They come to you after you give up. Do you think this person is... "
Yun Zhi laughed a little mockingly, but finally swallowed that derogatory description.
"Are you trying to say that this person is sick?" Yu Mingxia softly added what she wanted to say.
Yun Zhi raised his eyebrows, as a tacit consent.
After a few seconds, the phone rang again, and it was still the same number.
Yun Zhi sighed, and walked a few steps towards the coffee table, apparently planning to grab the phone on the table.
Yu Mingxia didn't know whether she was going to connect or hang up, but she always felt that she should do something at this moment.
"Yunzhi."
Yu Mingxia softly called her name.
Yunzhi stopped and looked at her: "What's wrong?"
"Are you angry with her on purpose, or provoked her?"
Yu Mingxia leaned forward slightly, clasped his hands, and looked up at her.
Yun Zhi laughed suddenly, as if he thought what she said just now was funny, and stopped looking at the phone on the coffee table, and after laughing enough, he answered her word by word: "That's something only children do, Yu Mingxia , I am 27 years old, I will not do such a childish thing."
Such a childish thing.
Something flashed through Yu Mingxia's heart, remembering what happened when they talked about Jiang Mei just now.
She seemed quite naive just now, even though she knew Yun Zhi wouldn't care, she still said that on purpose.
The phone rang for a while and then disconnected, but it rang again a few seconds later, it was only after Yun Zhi answered the phone that he was willing to stop.
"Can you guess what she wants to do?"
Yun Zhi hummed, with an indifferent expression: "The probability is that you like me, so let me stay away from you."
She has verified this before, it is fake.
Yu Mingxia paused for a while before saying again: "How do you know?"
"Actually, what she did was quite clumsy. I didn't care much about these things before, and I also felt that there was really no need to give others such hopes, so I left it to her." Yun Zhi stopped in front of the tea table, and the ringing also stopped at this moment. down.
"It's pretty good?" In order to hide his emotions, Yu Mingxia picked up the cup of warm tea on the coffee table and asked with downcast eyes, "Is there anything else?"
"It feels like it's over, it seems there's no need to mention it anymore." Just after Yun Zhi finished speaking, he saw Yu Mingxia sipping his tea with his head down, always feeling that he would be disappointed if he didn't say anything about Yu Mingxia.
After thinking for a while, she said: "She used to intercept other people's confessions to me, like gifts from others, strike up a conversation,"
After a few seconds, he added: "Oh, there are also love letters, they are all quite..."
Before she could utter the word childish, she heard a "bang", the glass in her hand fell to the ground and shattered, and the tea flowed all over the floor.
Yu Mingxia's face was full of astonishment.
"Are you hurt?" Yun Zhi hurriedly sat beside her to check her condition, "You didn't get scalded by the tea, did you?"
The tea was poured when I first entered the door, so it shouldn't be hot enough to be hot after such a long time.
Seeing that she was only a little wet on the hem of the skirt, the glass shards did not splash on her. Just as she breathed a sigh of relief, Yu Mingxia suddenly grabbed her wrist.
"You just said she would intercept your love letter?"
Yun Zhi felt that Yu Mingxia's expression was weird, like pain and disbelief, but she couldn't see what it was, so she nodded her head as an answer to her words.
At this time, there was another rapid ringing of the mobile phone in the living room.
Yun Zhi sighed, and glanced sideways at Yu Mingxia.
"Did you say we could help each other?"
Yu Mingxia's mood at this moment is very complicated, regret and pain alternately rushing to the tip of her heart, she feels that her blood is cold, her whole body is numb and cold, and the little reason left is only enough for her to make a soft sound.
"Ok."
Yun Zhi picked up the phone from the coffee table, handed it to her, bit his lips and said hesitantly, "Do me a favor, just say you are my girlfriend."
After speaking, she remembered that she had asked so many inexplicable things on the way back, but now she suddenly made such an unreasonable request, Yun Zhi said again: "I told her before that if one day I fall in love, I hope we can be polite and distant. , she agreed, can you please pretend to be my girlfriend as you said before?"
Yun Zhi didn't want to take this step unless she had to, but Nan Qiao's persistent pursuit made her feel that it would be even worse to continue like this.
To be honest, until now, she still wants to be able to decently distance herself from Nan Qiao.
Yu Mingxia returned to the basket rationally, even though her whole body still felt cold, like the pain when the tip of a knife was cut across the tip of her heart, but she restrained it.
He took the phone from Yunzhi.
Try to calm yourself down.
Nan Qiao was a little disturbed by the continuous no answer. She looked at the time and thought about going to Yun Zhi's house.
She made the last call, and if Yunzhi still didn't answer the call, she would go out.
She understood that the longer the time dragged on, the harder it would be for Yun Zhi to change his mind.
Just as she was about to go out, the phone in her hand rang.
She called Yun Zhi's name in surprise, and just when she was about to act like a baby, she heard an indifferent voice—
"Zhizhi fell asleep."
Nan Qiao recognized this voice, it was the woman Yu Mingxia from today.
It's almost ten o'clock now, but it's still waiting for Yunzhi's home.
After more than a dozen phone calls, when the phone was finally connected, it was not the owner of the phone, but Yu Mingxia.
And also told her that Zhizhi was asleep.
During the dozen or so phone calls she made, what were they doing, and why was Yu Mingxia on the other end of the call.
Nan Qiao's fingers holding the phone turned white, and the seed of jealousy began to burn in his heart.
No, they are just friends and haven't known each other for long.
Yun Zhi is not such a casual person.
"Why do you answer her phone?" Nan Qiao asked her in a cold voice.
"Why?" Yu Mingxia sneered on the other end of the phone, "Because I'm her girlfriend."
The voice seemed to be quenched by ice, like an ice blade stabbing at her.
Nan Qiao didn't believe her words. How could it be possible for someone who was confessing to her a month ago to say that he liked someone else if he liked them.
But another voice in her heart told her that Yunzhi would never joke about such things. Although she always said that love was not everything, she was loyal to love.
Yun Zhi has always followed her heart and will not deceive her with feelings. Even two years ago, even if she left, she never used others as a shield.
Even though the answer was in front of her little by little, Nan Qiao still didn't want to believe it.
"She's mad at me, don't you understand? Can you easily replace our ten-year relationship? Yu Mingxia, can you be a little self-aware." Nan Qiao gritted her teeth, she didn't want to believe that Yun Zhi just left her behind.
"Take more medicine and less self-love, and see if you are worthy of everything." Yu Mingxia laughed mockingly, and the coolness in his words was only a little bit more, and he said every word. between emotions.”
"Call Yunzhi, Yu Mingxia—"
In the end, Nan Qiao's growl only got a busy beep, and she dialed the phone again, but the reply she got was that she was in the middle of the call.
The familiar mechanical female voice made her understand that this meant being blocked.
Why, Yun Zhi was able to get out of the cage that she couldn't get rid of after struggling countless times.
It's obviously only one step away, just wait a little longer, she has already given up struggling, why did Yun Zhi abandon her at this time.
why.
The phone slipped from her hand, she sat on the carpet and looked up at the sky, the crescent moon on the treetops was covered by dark clouds.
The light that had finally poked out its head was completely covered by the sudden dark clouds, leaving only darkness.
Yun Zhi was a little sluggish, even though he had hung up the phone for a while, he still didn't recover.
She was too surprised by Yu Mingxia's tone just now.
It was the first time she saw Yu Mingxia's cold look, as if it wasn't because of her request, but more like the person on the other end of the receiver was her enemy.
After Yu Mingxia hung up the phone, she kept her eyes downcast. The phone was tightly held in her hand. She tried her best to restrain her emotions, and it took a while before she said:
"Has she ever intercepted your high school love letters?"
Yun Zhimin felt that Yu Mingxia's tone was quite different from that of just now when he said this to her, and one could easily feel the tremor in her voice.
"I don't know much about it in high school. I first found out in my junior year."
Yun didn't know what happened to Yu Mingxia suddenly, so he could only answer all the questions she wanted to know in a low voice.
"Would you throw away a love letter someone gave you in high school? If it was someone you hated."
The closer he got to the truth, the more painful Yu Mingxia became.
"No, why throw it away? It's someone else's will." Yun Zhi didn't understand why she would suddenly ask such a question.
really.
Although she never blamed Yunzhi in these years, she never thought that Yunzhi might never have received that love letter.
The biggest self-deception she ever made was that she probably accidentally threw it away.
But after hearing the coldness in Yun Zhi's tone, she thought again, throwing away the letter because of disgust, or hating her because of her love letter, at that time, everything seemed reasonable to her, nothing was impossible or nothing something is wrong.
Yun Zhi and her are totally different, they are two worlds.
That love letter was originally her wishful thinking.
Why did she never think that that love letter might never have reached Yun Zhi's hands.
So even though Yun Zhi knew that they were alumni, even though he remembered about the basketball gym, he still didn't think of the love letter.
Because that love letter has been thrown away by Nan Qiao.
All the clues come together and become the final answer.
Yu Mingxia felt uncomfortable, more uncomfortable than ever before.
She misunderstood Yunzhi.
"At first you hated me because of what Nan Qiao told you?"
Yun Zhi was a little embarrassed thinking about it, Yu Mingxia looked at her intently, as if saying that she must know the answer.
The balance in Yunzhi's heart had been tilted earlier, and now she no longer had the idea that she must protect Nan Qiao before.
Since Yu Mingxia wanted to know, she couldn't hide it from her anymore.
"Yes," Yun Zhi sighed, "She said that you looked down on her and our class, and I was very defensive back then, so..."
"So you believed it?"
"Well, I'm sorry." The old matter was brought up again, and the previous article was still not read. When he apologized again, Yun Zhi still felt guilty.
"Mingxia—"
As soon as Yun Zhi finished speaking, Yu Mingxia got up and the bathroom door was slammed shut.
The shards of glass that hadn't been cleaned up just now because of answering the phone lay quietly at his feet.
Yun didn't know what happened, but felt that Yu Mingxia's painful expression just now must have something to do with what she said just now, and the guilt in her heart deepened.
"Ming Xia? Are you okay?" Yun Zhi called her, but knocked on the bathroom door again when she didn't hear the answer, and called again worriedly, "Ming Xia?"
"I'm fine."
A weak voice came from the bathroom, but Yun Zhi still didn't feel at ease, and said to her again: "I'm right outside the door, can you call me if you have anything to do?"
In the bathroom, Yu Mingxia supported the washstand with both hands, remembering all kinds of things with more force, until his fingertips turned white.
For the first time, someone made her feel hatred.
She never thought that Nan Qiao would be so bad.
Throwing her love letter, speaking ill of her in front of Yun Zhi, and warning her in front of her again, pointing out the gap between her and Yun Zhi.
Nan Qiao knows how to make her suffer the most when she is young and inferior.
The figure in the mirror gradually blurred, Yu Mingxia lowered his eyes and washed his face.
Yun Zhi, who was waiting outside, heard the sound of running water in the bathroom.
"If you want to remove makeup, you can open the first cabinet on the upper left, and all the makeup removal items are inside."
Yun Zhi felt uneasy. Although she didn't know what happened, she could still feel that it must have something to do with Nan Qiao.
Regretted for a moment, she knew that Yu Mingxia would be so sad, she didn't say it just now.
After a while, the sound of water finally stopped.
The bathroom door opened, and Yu Mingxia came out from inside.
After removing the makeup, her face was a little pale, and her hair was slightly water-dropped, making her look a little fragile.
"Feel sorry."
Yun Zhi was stunned for a few seconds because of her sudden apology, and then he came to his senses and asked eagerly, "What's wrong with you? Why are you apologizing all of a sudden, what's wrong with you?"
Yu Mingxia forced a smile.
"Can I stay here tonight?"
Yun Zhi was still very worried: "Is there something wrong with you, please tell me, okay?"
Seeing Yu Mingxia like this made her very anxious, and she didn't understand why it changed in just a short while.
"I want to sleep for a while."
"I'll take you to the room last time," Yun Zhi recalled that Yu Mingxia hadn't eaten yet, "Are you hungry? Do you want to eat first?"
Yu Mingxia shook his head, and entered the second bedroom from beside her.
After sending Yun Zhi away, Yu Mingxia opened the art history from the desk.
Inside is the portrait and group photo I saw last time.
Yu Mingxia quietly looked at the things inside.
It was still where she put it last time, and Yun Zhi hadn't opened it.
This is what Nan Qiao left behind, and she can also throw away what she left behind just like Nan Qiao threw away her love letter.
You can also say many bad things about her in front of Yunzhi like her.
Make her feel that pain.
Her hand touched the drawing paper, but left it at that moment.
She is not Nan Qiao, nor will she become someone like Nan Qiao, nor will she use Yun Zhi as a tool.
Yu Mingxia breathed a sigh of relief, and put the things back into the book as if he had never seen them before.
Yun Zhi didn't know what caused Yu Mingxia's discomfort, but based on her knowledge, she guessed that it might be the stomach, so she cooked another bowl of barley porridge, warmed up a bottle of milk, and then knocked on the door of the second bedroom.
After hearing the noise inside, Yun Zhicai walked in, and Yu Mingxia was lying on the bed, his face turned rosy and not as pale as before.
"Are you feeling sick to your stomach? I made porridge and warmed milk for you, how much do you eat?"
Yu Mingxia looked at her frowning, worried eyes, and the previous complex emotions disappeared, and said softly:
"It's a little uncomfortable, please stay with me."
Yun Zhi recalled that last time Yu Mingxia had a stomachache and asked her to accompany her in the lounge, but thinking about when people are fragile, they seem to hope that someone can be by their side.
Yunzhi walked over and put the porridge bowl and milk bottle on the bedside table, moved a chair to the side of the bed, sat down, and fed a spoonful of porridge to her lips, "How much should I feed you? Ah—"
Yu Mingxia obediently opened his mouth and swallowed.
While feeding the porridge, Yun Zhi recalled what happened before, and came to the most important conclusion—Yu Mingxia and Nan Qiao had a grudge.
But she couldn't think of a reason.
It was not appropriate to ask any more questions at this moment, so Yun Zhi swallowed the words.
"Yunzhi."
"Huh?" Yun Zhi raised his eyes.
Yu Mingxia, however, acted as if she was just shouting for fun, and called her again: "Yun Zhi."
"Ok."
"Yunzhi."
"Yes."
…
No matter how many times Yu Mingxia called her name, Yun Zhi responded patiently.
