Chapter 16 I don’t want to work overtime (8)
Wang Juan finished reading the diary, and a drop of black liquid fell from the corner of her eye.
She had almost forgotten that she wanted to start a business with those senior brothers and sisters who were messy and careless as soon as she graduated because of Yi Yu. They didn’t know how many times they argued. She was glad that Yi Yu was finally allowed to do so. The lost fishermen found their way back.
It turns out that was Yi Yu’s dream.
So, what about her own dream?
Wang Juan slowly recalled the things that she had deliberately hidden in her heart.
She is the second daughter in the family. The eldest sister is arrogant, the younger brother is favored, but she is the least prominent one in the family.
So she studied hard to get good grades, took the initiative to do housework and behaved well, just so that her parents could see her.
But these are not as good as the eldest sister's coquettish words and the younger brother's crying. She is very discouraged.
Fortunately, she was very successful and got into college. For the first time, her parents talked about her and showed off everywhere.
After leaving home and moving from a small county town to a big city, she realized how big the outside world was and how small she was.
She has never played computer games. Her classmates have game cabins at home where they can play real-life games.
She has never flown abroad, and many of her classmates have even traveled to space.
The university she had to work hard to get into was, for some of her classmates, just a matter of second best.
After graduation, you can choose free employment or school assignment.
Wang Juan doesn't dare to fight. Her family situation is not good, her parents have no pension, her sister is a stay-at-home mom, and her brother is still in middle school.
She must find a job early to make money, otherwise she will not be able to stay in the big city. She will not even have the rent or food money to spend several months looking for a job interview.
So she chose a school assignment that many people would not choose. The jobs assigned by the school were all in federal state-owned factories. In fact, the pay was not bad, but the work type was old and traditional, and the development space was limited.
But for Wang Juan, what is the development space? It's not as useful as the salary you actually get.
Perhaps her dream is to have a stable job.
Later, she got married, had children, lost her job...
She gradually lost herself and only wanted to let Yi Yu make up for her regrets.
Later...what happened next...
Wang Juan’s head hurt a little.
Seaside, dark sky, tireless waves, empty rocks.
It seemed like she had seen this scene before. When was it?
The drop of black liquid on the face fell on the paper and fainted, and the small tentacles wriggled in the paper patterns, eventually swallowing the paper into black, turning into countless tiny black butterflies flying into the sky .
Wang Juan remembered that that day, she rushed to the beach crying, but only the cold body that was swollen with water was salvaged, and the mobile phone in her hand.
The police unlocked the phone, found Yi Yu's diary, read the chat history, and learned that Yi Yu committed suicide.
Later, her husband divorced her, saying that she had driven their daughter to death.
It's no wonder he thinks so, the whole world thinks so.
Yi Yu's diary was posted online by a reporter, causing an uproar. Everyone was discussing what kind of mother would be so cruel and push her child to death.
She was indeed at fault.
But obviously, it’s not just her!
Is the father of the child right? She didn't care about her children, did he?
Is that man right? Why can you give up a five-year relationship so easily?
Is the company right? Why are you invisible? Is it just because it is a group directly under the federal government?
Wang Juan felt aggrieved and in pain. She looked at Yi Yu's phone over and over again every day, trying to find other criminals.
Finally one day, she was sure that she was the one who caused the most harm to Yi Yu.
So she chose the same path, taking Yi Yu's mobile phone with her.
"So, I am already dead."
As Wang Juan's consciousness became clearer and more chaotic, the world fell into complete darkness, and thick tentacles hung from the sky and were connected to the ground. , the sea water completely turned into huge rolling black tentacles, the huge eyes in the swirling dark clouds showed pain, and drops of black-red liquid dripped from the eyeballs.
A towering black mountain of flesh appeared on the reef where Wang Juan was originally standing. Her figure was completely hidden under the wriggling black tentacles. If someone came closer and took a closer look, they would see Many scalp-numbing little eyes appeared on the tentacles, staring coldly at everything.
......
Liu Sheng used the black tentacles to cover his aura, hiding in the black sea, watching from a distance.
Everything in front of her was twisted and crazy, and she felt that she was about to lose her heart again.
Wait a little longer and bear with it a little longer.
With a thought in her mind, another layer of black tentacles surged up to wrap her up, slightly blocking some mental pollution and forcing herself to stay awake. ……
“Mom!”
At this time, a cold but soft voice sounded.
Wang Juan, who was completely immersed in darkness, also heard it.
It seems to be her daughter's voice.
"Mom, it's me."
The voice came from Wang Juan's cell phone, which she squeezed tightly.
Wang Juan lowered her head and saw that a call was being made on her phone, and the screen showed that the caller was "Yi Yu".
All the black tentacles seemed to be still at this moment, and the countless little eyes turned to the glowing mobile phone screen.
She didn't have time to think about how this was Yi Yu's cell phone and it showed that Yi Yu was calling her.
She only knew that this voice seemed to travel through endless darkness and despair, reaching the bottom of her heart.
She slowly held the phone to her ear, her voice choked, almost whispering, "Xiaoyu? Is it you? My child..."
The voice on the other end of the phone rang again, clear and quiet, with a trace of calm that did not belong to this world: "Yes, Mom, it's me. I know you are in pain, and I know you have been looking for me."
< br>Wang Juan's hands were trembling, she could hardly believe her ears, and black tears flowed down involuntarily.
"I...I'm sorry for you, Yi Yu. I...I should have understood you better and supported you...I was wrong..." Wang Juan's words were full of regret and pain.
"Mom, it's not your fault alone. You've suffered enough. It's time to let it all go. You need to forgive yourself and let yourself be free, and," the softness in Yi Yu's voice suddenly It turned into a bone-chilling cold, "Set me free."
"I...I didn't..."
"Your obsession has trapped you and me." Yi Yu's voice revealed an indescribable sadness and remoteness.
“I have always been in this mobile phone.”
Wang Juan’s heart almost stopped beating at this moment.
The mobile phone, the object she held tightly in her hands every day after Yi Yu's death, she originally thought it was just the last thing that could make her feel that Yi Yu was still with her.
Unexpectedly, Yi Yu was still by her side.
Wang Juan felt an unprecedented fear and sadness welling up in her heart.
"Put down your apologies and guilt and let me go. I don't want to be around you anymore, mom." Yi Yu's voice became softer, as if to comfort her, but he said the last Cruel words.
Wang Juan took a deep breath, knowing that this was the only thing she could do for Yi Yu.
"Okay...Okay, I will, I'm sorry, Xiaoyu. I love you, I will always love you."
Wang Juan closed her eyes, recalling the wrinkles when Yi Yu was born Baba's pink and tender appearance, the first time Yi Yu spoke was calling "Mom", the first time Yi Yu walked...
When he grew up, Yi Yu was high-spirited when taking graduation photos. Later, Yi Yu was exhausted after staying up late and working overtime. After breaking up, Yi Yu burst into tears. Finally, he lay quietly in the coffin...
Wang Juan opened her eyes, it was time to let go.
She could feel that a very important thing was being torn out of her heart.
"Although I should hate you, I am still very grateful that you gave me life and paid so much. My hatred is not just for you, so there is no need to say I'm sorry, mom."
"Mom, you are also very tired. I hope you can be yourself and you can be happier."
Yi Yu's voice gradually became distant, until finally it disappeared completely.
The call ended and the screen returned to darkness.
Wang Juan held the phone tightly, tears flowing continuously. But this time, there was more determination and tranquility in her heart.
At this moment, all the black tentacles began to retreat, and finally disappeared.
The giant pupil in the sky closed and disappeared into the center of the vortex. The vortex quickly shrank and dispersed, and the clear sky reappeared.
The blackness of the ground pooled into streams, seeping through the cracks in the soil, rocks and sewers.
The dark sea gradually returns to blue.
In just a moment, the surrounding world returned to light.
Wang Juan found herself standing on the familiar seaside. The sun was just right and the sea was glowing with golden light.
Liu Sheng watched all this quietly from a distance, his figure gradually fading away.
She didn't notice that Wang Juan was looking in this direction silently.
Finally, this first story is basically over. This one was expected to be relatively short, but it turned out to be longer than expected
