30: The Hand of Fate
This is Kim Jun-woo's first night at Cheng Manyue's house.
He lay on the mattress, his head resting on his arm, staring at the ceiling in a daze.
Cheng Manyue squatted on the back of Ye Xinghe's house crying, which deeply pierced his heart.
He is not angry with Cheng Manyue, nor is he jealous of Ye Xinghe, he only hates himself, why did he run away when he was young......
Obviously looking up to her like that, obviously wanting to repay her like that, obviously wanting to say sorry to her, but not having the courage to take a step closer to her.
The fire burned in his memory for 10 years, until the day he met Cheng Manyue when he reported to the university and met Cheng Manyue, the fire of purgatory finally stopped.
As if pulled by fate, he did not escape her after all, did not escape the guilt buried deep in his heart, and finally had to face the knot of his childhood, and it seemed that he could truly grow.
That's right, the little boy that Cheng Manyue's father rescued in the fire is him......
When he was 8 years old, the fatal natural gas explosion was said to be due to the aging and leakage of the pipeline, which was not repaired in time. Even though the insurance company paid a huge amount of money, it could not save the life of the firefighter who died.
Countless times in his dreams, the young man stood in the fire and cried in fear, and the firefighter broke down the door like a god, picked him up and ran out of the door. The roof burned and the pillar of fire fell, blocking the door, the uncle rushed to the window with him in the burst of explosions behind him, and he didn't have time to use the rope again, he threw him down directly, the young man fell from the third floor, and in just two seconds, he saw that the tongue of fire that quickly rushed out of the window enveloped the uncle, and the loud sound of the explosion shook his ears and ears, and he didn't even know his face under the mask from beginning to end.
He didn't feel the slightest pain, only the flames rushed out of his pupils, his body seemed to lose all sensation, he broke his leg, but saved his life.
He spent four months in a hospital bed to nurse his legs, and the doctors said that the child had recovered well and that when he got out of bed, there were no sequelae.
He didn't remember how many evenings he hid near Cheng Manyue's house, watching her walk home alone after school.
During those countless long waiting hours, he rehearsed again and again in the corner: how to greet her, how to introduce himself to her, how to apologize to her and ask for the original, how to become friends with her.
A great guilt engulfed him like the sea, and he was on the verge of suffocating to death for countless nights.
Hiding from winter to spring, that corner seemed to be the only quiet place where he could be quiet for a moment, and he could feel more at ease when he looked at her from afar, and saw that she was all right.
Once, he saw a naughty little boy following Cheng Manyue, always tugging at her ponytail's rubber band, and laughing at her for not having a father, spitting a piece of bubble gum on her.
He gritted his teeth with hatred, and he couldn't rush up to kill him, and he just mustered up the courage to step out with heavy footsteps, but saw Cheng Manyue kick the boy in the stomach, picked up the schoolbag and smashed it at the boy, so that the boy had no power to fight back.
The boy ran away in fright, and Cheng Manyue picked up a stone and threw it at him. When the boy ran away, she picked up the schoolbag on the ground, patted the dirt on it, put it on her back again, picked up the rubber band on the ground, tied the ponytail, and walked home.
As she walked, she began to cry.
He followed behind her, watching her carry her schoolbag and lower her head and wipe her tears with the back of her hand, he cried even more sadly, his face was full of tears, he clenched his teeth, he wanted to go up and take her hand and tell her that he would protect her for the rest of her life, but he didn't have the courage at all. He was not afraid that Cheng Manyue would cry and beat him and lose his father because of him, what he was afraid of was that Cheng Manyue would not forgive him at all.
His parents came to this corner again and again to look for him, and finally his parents couldn't stand the worries anymore, and felt that he was too burdened by his young age, so they decided to change cities and start life again, so that he could forget all about it.
On the day they moved, there was not much luggage left in the family, which had been burned by the fire, and his father carried him to the car, locked the door, and the family of three prepared to drive to Beijing.
The car didn't drive far, just in time for the end of elementary school, the students rushed out, the car and Cheng Manyue with a schoolbag passed by, the young man was so excited that he knelt on the back seat and slammed the car window.
"Stop, Daddy, stop!!" he cried.
"Junyou, don't make a fuss, it's dangerous for Dad to drive!" Dad scolded.
"It's that sister!! I'm going to talk to her!!"
"We're leaving, time will bury everything here, Mom and Dad have already compensated her family, their family doesn't blame you, don't make any more trouble, Mom and Dad are already very troubled for you!"
"Let me talk to her. ”
"I can't park my car here!!"
Cheng Manyue heard the sound of a passing car banging on the window, she raised her head and saw the rear window of the black car, and a boy was crying and shouting something at her.
"You wait for me to grow up and come back to you!! my name is Kim Junwoo!! you wait for me to !!" Inside the car, 8-year-old Kim Junyou cried loudly, tears streaming all over his face.
And Cheng Manyue didn't hear what he was saying, and he wasn't even sure if he was crying at him, he just thought it was a wayward child crying in the car.
The noise of children after school, the sound of cars on the street, the estrangement of cars, and the drifting away all buried Kim Jun-woo's voice.
This scene did not leave an impression in Cheng Manyue's heart when she was a child, she only thought that it was an ordinary passing vehicle, and she would not have thought that it was a promise shouted by a little boy in his heart, a promise to her.
Nor would she have known that there was a little boy near her house, hiding in the corner and watching her for a long time, and even less that the snowflakes fell on his eyelashes alone and heavily.
The smell of the air in the new city is completely different from the town of Shimizu, Kim Junwoo went to a new school, and the surrounding bustling urban environment could not find a trace of the town of Shimizu, and his mother took him to see a psychiatrist again and again until he was exposed to acting......
Why does he want to be an actor? Because an actor can be anyone, he can pretend to be anyone, he can be anyone, he can escape the real Kim Jun-woo.
If you become a good actor, you can pretend to be calm in front of Cheng Manyue and pretend to be another person, and you can muster up the courage to stand in front of her.
In junior high school and high school, too many girls like him, he works hard to perform the humorous Prince Charming, and those girls practice the skills of pleasing girls, figuring out their psychology and commonalities, hoping that one day, when he goes back to find Cheng Manyue, he can be comfortable in front of her.
When I was 18 years old, I ran art exams everywhere and was finally admitted to the art school of my dreams.
And in the past ten years, his father's business has become bigger and bigger, he doesn't understand his son's heart at all, he just thinks that it is a child's paranoia and vulnerability, and he will forget it when he grows up, he hopes that Kim Junyou will study business so that he can inherit the family business in the future.
Alone with his suitcase, he stepped on the subway to go to school, and at a certain station, he saw the girl who was caught by the subway door, he just instinctively pulled her, but he didn't expect that it was fate to meet.
It was the hand that stretched out to her.
"Senior sister, what's your name?
"Cheng full moon. ”
There was a loud bang, his brain was stunned, and the sound of tinnitus sounded again, like the explosion that day.
Today, 22-year-old Kim Jun-woo and Cheng Manyue live under the same roof, and in the dark, he covers his eyes with the back of his hand, and the tears in the corners of his eyes can't stop flowing down.
has been her good junior for four years, silently guarding her, and willingly doing anything for her.
thought that she would definitely come out of her first love that ended without a problem, and she would one day rely on him for a long time, but she didn't expect that on the day she finished her graduation defense, she called him screaming, saying that she met her first boyfriend Ye Xinghe, and the bloody thing is that the object of her mother's remarriage is Ye Xinghe's father.
That day, he was completely panicked......
In the ten years of his life, she has grown into a slim girl and experienced an unforgettable first love.
It was his cowardice that made their youth miss each other. In the past four years, he regretted countless times, if he had been hiding in the corner at that time, he had the courage to come forward and talk to her, apologize to her and ask for forgiveness, would there be a story about their youth.
He knew no, he was three years younger than Cheng Manyue, even if they became friends, in Cheng Manyue's youth, she would only treat him as a younger brother, the same as now.
In the college days when the two were together, Kim Junyou never cried when she saw the full moon, she has always been so heroic, the yearning for love in her eyes is really the confidence of being loved, and the belief in love.
He sometimes even thanked Ye Xinghe for making her youth dreamy and complete, even if Cheng Manyue described him as a missing scumbag, but he was mentioned rarely, and his eyes always flashed with light.
Cheng Manyue likes Jian Chen, he didn't take it to heart, because he knew that Jian Chen didn't fall in love with female classmates, and he didn't see Jian Chen as a threat, and today when he received Cheng Manyue's WeChat message that he became his assistant, he suddenly couldn't eat anything......
Jin Junyou sat up and stood on the side of the bed, looking at the gorgeous night view of the city, there was no peace at night in the town of Qingshui, but now, Cheng Manyue was by his side, and his heart was even more unpeaceful......
Like a small beast that has been forced to be locked in the cage for too long, it slammed into the cage and tried to rush out......
He hugged a pillow and walked to Cheng Manyue's room......
