Chapter 1422 Mengyue
"What's wrong with Mengyue?" Everyone was a little confused as they watched Mengyue run out in tears.
She was still wearing the same thin sweater she wore indoors.
However, considering that Mengyue was just overjoyed, and then suddenly ran out after reading the letter, it was most likely related to her boyfriend's letter.
So Qin Xuemei stepped forward and glanced at the contents of the letter that had been thrown down. After a few quick glances, she immediately said indignantly:
"No wonder I haven't written for months, it turns out Mengyue's boyfriend got married and even sent her wedding candy!"
"Oh my god, this is too much!"
"This is absolutely inhuman!"
"Hiss, how can Mengyue stand it during the New Year?"
The crowd erupted in uproar, instantly enraged. How could someone be like this, keeping Mengyue hanging for months without any contact, only to inform her after the other party had already gotten married? It was simply outrageous.
Lin Hao frowned and said:
"Mengyue is quite sentimental and emotionally fragile. Everyone, put on your coats and let's hurry and chase after her. In this heavy snow, we mustn't let anything happen."
As Lin Hao spoke, he grabbed a coat and rushed out. At this moment, Lin Hao was only wearing a cashmere sweater, which would be a good opportunity to show off his heroism later.
"Yes, yes, hurry up and find it!" Feng Cheng quickly added.
"Let's go!" Zhao Tianshan didn't care about anything else and rushed out to find people.
But when everyone chased after her, Mengyue was nowhere to be seen. Lin Hao then immediately said:
"Mengyue shouldn't have gone too far. Everyone, split up and search!"
Unlike others, Lin Hao has a mental marker, so he knows exactly where Meng Yue is.
So Lin Hao followed the cold wind, took a quick look around, and slowly chased after the lake.
Why not rush things? Lin Hao felt it would be good to let Mengyue "calm down" a bit.
Sure enough, after a short while, Lin Hao saw Meng Yue lying in the middle of the lake, wearing only a single layer of clothing.
Fortunately, it's winter now, and the lakes on the dam are frozen over, plus there's a thick layer of snow, so there's no safety issue.
"Mengyue, Mengyue, I've finally found you!" Lin Hao ran quickly to Mengyue.
At this moment, Mengyue was lying on her back on the snow on the ice. Hearing Lin Hao's voice, she looked up at the sky and said:
"I've traveled so far, and you still found me!"
"I found it!" Lin Hao said, sitting down next to her without any hesitation.
"Everyone was worried about you, afraid something might happen to you, so they all came looking for you!"
"But halfway there, the wind and snow covered our muddy footprints, so we split up to look for you!"
"I know you're a romantic at heart, often reciting your love letters by the lake. I had a feeling you'd come here!"
"What, judging from your posture, are you really planning to commit suicide for love?" Lin Hao said, preparing to help her up.
"Mengyue, get up quickly! You're not even wearing a coat; you'll freeze into an ice sculpture in no time!"
"Frozen into an ice sculpture!" Mengyue said with a smile, "Frozen into an ice sculpture, wouldn't that be the most poetic way to die!"
"Brother Lin, don't bother me, and don't tell them. Just let me quietly become an ice sculpture by myself!"
"Why are you so stubborn?" Lin Hao was speechless for a moment, then tried to help her up.
"Get up quickly, or you'll get hypothermia, and that would be a huge problem!"
Mengyue pushed Lin Hao away and said, "Don't touch me, or I'll bite my tongue and kill myself!"
"Sigh~!" Lin Hao said, feigning helplessness, "Are you sure you want to die like this?"
"Okay, then I'll stay with you!" Lin Hao said, taking off his coat and covering Meng Yue with it, then lying down next to her.
Upon seeing this, Mengyue instantly snapped out of her daze and quickly said, "Brother Lin, what are you doing? Give me your coat, you'll catch a cold!"
"Aren't you going to die? I'll go with you!"
"Why, why?" Mengyue's nose was blocked from the cold, and she asked in a sobbing voice.
Lin Hao lay down beside Meng Yue, not answering her question, but instead reaching out to shield her from the blowing snow before speaking:
"Is love all there is in your life, nothing else?"
"I heard you came here to participate in the construction of Saihanba, but now you're lying here in the freezing cold, ready to die for a man. Is it worth it?"
"And your parents raised you for over twenty years, and now you're dead. Who will be the most heartbroken? Who will be the most devastated?"
"Anyway, I think that heartless man won't shed a single tear for you. Who's really heartbroken? Your parents and relatives, your teachers and classmates, or your colleagues and friends?"
"Actually, when I found out that you and your boyfriend were living apart, I guessed how things would end!"
As Mengyue listened to Lin Hao's words, she gradually turned her head to look at Lin Hao's profile, listening to his words of comfort.
Lin Hao, with his eyes closed, continued:
"If you can't see each other every day and can only communicate by letter once every two months, it's inevitable that your feelings will fade. Do you really expect to rely on reading those two lines of love poems written by each other every day?"
"Is this all the romance you've got? Even if you die, he won't write you a poem. Only these people who have been with you all along in this dam area will grieve for you and feel sad for you!"
"What I hate most are you people who threaten suicide over so-called love!"
"People should learn to face things calmly. What you lose, just reminisce about it for a while. Life isn't about having love and being able to live on water; it's about facing the mundane things like firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and tea every day!"
"Da Kui lost his love, but he still kept fighting for his mission and his goals. He was living for himself!"
"And then there's Qin Xuemei. Didn't she break down after what Wu Yansheng did? He abandoned her when faced with a pack of wolves and even used her as bait. If I hadn't arrived in time, she would have almost died!"
"And Ji Xiurong..." Lin Hao lay down next to Meng Yue and said a lot, but his voice grew softer and softer.
Listening to Lin Hao's words of comfort, Mengyue began to shed tears, which flowed uncontrollably.
At this moment, Mengyue finally realized something was wrong, so she quickly called out, "Brother Lin, Brother Lin, wake up!"
With a loud cry, she hugged Lin Hao and cried, shouting, "Brother Lin, wake up! Wake up! I'm not dead!"
"Not dead?" Lin Hao suddenly opened his eyes, then looked at Meng Yue with renewed vigor and asked, "Are you really not seeking death?"
"I'm not dead!" Mengyue breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Lin Hao open his eyes.
"That's more like it." Lin Hao said, getting up to help Mengyue up.
"Oh dear, Brother Lin!" Mengyue had just raised her head when she cried out in pain, "Please help me, my hair is frozen!"
Lin Hao turned and pulled Meng Yue into his arms, then grabbed her hair and pulled her out of the half-melted snow, then cleaned the snow water off her hair.
"Get up quickly!" Lin Hao helped Mengyue to her feet.
At this moment, Mengyue's cheeks were flushed and she was shivering from the cold. Lin Hao quickly took off his coat and put it on her.
"Brother Lin, it's so cold, you should wear it!" Seeing that Lin Hao was dressed very thinly, she wanted to take off her clothes and give them to Lin Hao.
"I'm a man, I can withstand the cold!" Lin Hao quickly stopped her, helping her put on her clothes, and said seriously at the same time:
"You're a woman, don't let yourself get cold!"
"Brother Lin, why are you so good to me!" Mengyue hugged Lin Hao tightly, moved, and then murmured, "Brother Lin, I hate you. Why can't you let me have some peace and quiet? Why did you leave like this all alone?"
"Why are you so outstanding? Why do so many girls like you? Why can't it be me?!"
"Why am I so unlucky to have met such an unreliable person? Why didn't I meet you sooner!"
Mengyue blinked her eyes as she cried, looking pitifully at Lin Hao.
Lin Hao understood that Meng Yue was venting her resentment, not at him, but at her ex-boyfriend.
Similarly, Lin Hao knew that Meng Yue needed care the most at this moment. Looking at her beautiful eyes and her pretty face that was red from the cold, Lin Hao felt a little moved.
Without hesitation, he kissed her lips. Mengyue was initially surprised, but then, sensing Lin Hao's determination, she closed her eyes and returned the kiss.
After a long while, their lips parted, and Lin Hao cupped Meng Yue's pretty face in his hands, while Meng Yue pulled open her coat to try and wrap it around Lin Hao.
Lin Hao knew that Mengyue was opening her heart to him, so he said emotionally:
"Mengyue, I've actually liked you for a long time, but after I found out you had a boyfriend, I silently hid my feelings!"
"Because I know that liking someone is not about possession, but about blessing and fulfilling their needs, so I have never dared to overstep my bounds with you, and have only silently wished you well!"
Hearing Lin Hao's sweet words, Meng Yue also said emotionally:
"Brother Lin, actually, I've had feelings for you for a long time. Back then, I thought the same as you, that one person should be with you for life, so I didn't think much about it or consider the future. I just thought that love was enough."
"I never imagined that being separated by such a vast distance would ultimately lead to our separation, and all my persistence would seem like a joke!" Mengyue said, tears streaming down her face.
Lin Hao lowered his head slightly, gently absorbing her tears, and then embraced her. At this moment, silence spoke louder than words.
Sensing Lin Hao's affection, Meng Yue looked up at him and asked:
"I like you, Brother Lin, so you won't abandon me, right?"
"Of course, in this life, if you never leave me, I will be with you through thick and thin!" Lin Hao hadn't expected things to go so smoothly, and then continued:
"Don't grieve for those who don't love you, because your deep affection should be reserved for those who do."
“We are doing a great cause of greening our motherland. Now, the wind and snow in Saihanba have filtered out those who are not willing to grow old with you. You should be happy.”
"He broke up with you because he was blind. Why are you trying to kill yourself? Don't punish yourself for someone else's mistakes!"
"He won't wait for you, nor will he stay with you. What's the point of having a man like that?"
"You should be glad you broke up with such a blind man!"
"Thank you, Brother Lin!" Mengyue was so moved that she burst into tears again.
Sigh, women are really made of water, especially a sentimental and somewhat artsy girl like Mengyue.
So Lin Hao said in a serious tone:
"Comrade Mengyue, today is New Year's Eve. All of us comrades who have experienced the heavy snow blocking the mountains have finally managed to scrape together some money and want to make dumplings!"
"It's all because of you that everything's been messed up, and I have to give you a stern reprimand for that!"
Mengyue, as obedient as a little wife, said with a wronged expression, "I was wrong, I disturbed everyone's New Year celebration, so what do you suggest?"
"What else can we do? A good comrade is one who admits his mistakes and corrects them!" Lin Hao released Meng Yue and said, "It's not too late to go back now. Everyone's waiting for you to eat dumplings!"
Lin Hao then took Mengyue back, and by then everyone had basically returned, so they started cooking dumplings.
Meanwhile, the other women surrounded Mengyue, talking to her and condemning her scumbag ex-boyfriend.
"The dumplings are here!"
When it got dark, Master Wei and Zhao Tianshan brought two large basins of dumplings and placed them on the table.
"Time to eat dumplings!"
"Come on, put the dumplings over here!"
"Let's relax!"
"Please sit down, please sit down!"
As they talked, everyone gathered around, and the two tables were pushed together to form a long table, where everyone chatted and laughed.
At this moment, Mengyue stood up, raised her cup, and said to everyone, "It's all my fault that we didn't get to eat dinner until evening. I'll punish myself with a drink!"
"Mengyue!" Zhao Tianshan immediately interrupted, "Why punish us? We're all on the same side, there's no need for this!"
Lin Hao then stood up and said, "Yes, it's the New Year, everyone should be happy, let's raise our glasses!"
"Come on, everyone, let's have a drink!"
Happy Chinese New Year!
"Let's eat dumplings!"
"Come on, let's eat dumplings!"
Everyone toasted together and exchanged New Year's greetings.
At this moment, Ji Xiurong, who was sitting next to Lin Hao, sensed that something was wrong with Lin Hao's expression.
"Brother Lin, what's wrong!" she exclaimed, touching Lin Hao's forehead.
"Oh no, he's so hot! Brother Lin has a fever!"
"Don't make a fuss!" Lin Hao said with a smile, "It's alright, don't disturb everyone eating dumplings for the New Year!"
"I'll have some ginger soup later, then I'll go back and take a nap and I'll feel better. Come on, eat it while it's hot!"
Seeing that Lin Hao was in good spirits, the others didn't pay much attention, except for Lin Hao's woman.
"Especially Mengyue, thinking that Lin Hao caught a cold because he gave her his coat, she felt even worse and more guilty!"
After finishing the dumplings, the others performed a show, while Lin Hao went straight back to sleep.
After everyone left, Mengyue noticed that Lin Hao was not in good condition, so she quickly helped him back to the dormitory.
Then Mengyue hurried back to the cafeteria, asked Lao Wei to make her a bowl of brown sugar ginger soup, and then delivered it to Lin Hao, taking care of him.
"Brother Lin, quickly drink a bowl of ginger soup!"
Arriving at Lin Hao's room, she sat on the edge of Lin Hao's bed, then leaned Lin Hao's head against her and fed him ginger soup spoonful by spoonful.
Lin Hao, meanwhile, nestled comfortably in Meng Yue's arms, slowly savoring her ginger soup.
Given Lin Hao's physique, how could he possibly get sick? So, after drinking it, Lin Hao instantly recovered completely.
"Yueyue, are you cold?"
"Cold~!" Mengyue blinked.
Then he looked up at Mengyue, and the two locked eyes. Lin Hao pulled Mengyue into the quilt.
