Chapter 20 (1/2)

Lin Mubei hung up the phone and dialed a number again. His eyes were still on the computer and his fingers rubbed his chin: ”what did they just talk about?”

”Is that all? Well, it's all right.”

Lin Mubei took the earphone off his ear, raised his mouth and felt happy.

He could imagine his mother's ugly face and had a faint pleasure in his heart.

Lin Mubei looked at the design drawings on the computer for a while, quickly picked out a simple design sketch from the three and sent it out.

The clock on the wall was ticking, and a week passed in a flash.

Lin Mubei has been very busy this week. The number of meetings with Ye Sitong can be counted with five fingers. These two times are still because Lin Mubei came to school to teach.

Lin Mubei doesn't ask her, and she won't take the initiative to ask Lin Mubei. Ye Sitong is happy. The next day when he and Lin Mubei went to another place, her mother called back and told her that the hospital had begun to prepare for her father's operation. Ye Sitong was relieved and grateful to Lin Mubei.

In this way, every day we have classes on time, eat and sleep after class, and occasionally we are dragged out by Gu Musheng. It seems that everything has returned to its original state.

That night, ye Sitong dragged his tired body home as usual and pressed the light. The house was still empty. Ye's mother has been living in the hospital these days and hasn't come back. Ye's mother has a knot in her heart. Ye Sixi knows, but she can't persuade anything. She can only maintain it without pain and itching.

Ye Sitong himself went down the vermicelli to fill his stomach. After taking a bath, the whole person collapsed into bed. When he was about to fall asleep, the phone rang.

She took it over and looked. Her long lost name made her slightly stunned. She answered the phone: ”Hello, what's the matter?”

Lin Mubei's voice at the other end was still indifferent and alienated: ”the wedding will be held the day after tomorrow. You are ready. I will have someone bring the things for the wedding to your house at 5 a.m. the day after tomorrow. Is it convenient?”

Ye Sitong was sleepy and suddenly woke up. After a while, he said, ”it's convenient.”

”HMM.” he answered meaninglessly, and Lin Mubei hung up first.

Ye Sitong sat on the bed with his chin on his knee. He was inexplicably nervous. The wedding was finally coming

On Friday the next day, ye Sitong asked for leave and didn't go to school. She went to the hospital to tell her mother the news of her marriage. Her mother only replied to her by saying ”I know”, and the mother and daughter were speechless.

In the evening, ye Sitong had insomnia. He felt cold and frightened. He finally drank a cup of hot water and fell asleep. In his dream, it was all the picture of Lin Mubei holding her hand and walking to the wedding platform amid the congratulations of relatives and friends.

The corridor in the dream was very long, until Lin Mubei impatiently shook off her hand. Ye Sitong woke up from the dream and touched his forehead with sweat.

Ye Sitong got out of bed, went to the bathroom and washed her face with cold water to wake herself up. A moment before returning to the room, she heard a knock on the door. She looked up at the wall clock in the living room. It was a quarter past five.

When he opened the door and let people in, Gu Musheng was the first to bear the brunt. Ye Sitong was surprised and then relieved.
