Chapter 21 Striving for Progress
In the next few weeks, whether it was taking medicine or eating, late autumn was very obedient, but every day I was groggy, woke up for a while, and slept for most of the day. Sometimes I don't speak when I wake up, I just sit on the sofa on the balcony and am stunned.
Zhang's mother knew that Late Autumn still couldn't cheer up from the huge blow, and she just wanted to close herself off and didn't want to contact the outside world.
Qin Fengyan came to see her every day as always, and he didn't speak in late autumn, and he didn't speak either.
In late autumn, he gradually lost weight in silence, and Qin Fengyan gradually became haggard in silence.
Qin Fengyan couldn't understand Wanqiu's heart, he only thought that Leng Yingzi's sudden visit made Wanqiu, who had already taken a small step towards her, take a big step backwards, he knew that she wanted to hide in her turtle shell and lick her wounds alone, he didn't force her to speak, just quietly accompanied her.
Late Autumn was slow to recover, and by the time she spoke again, it was early summer, and her belly was getting bigger and bigger as time went by.
"I want to go back to school. "One day at dinner, Wanqiu carefully sandwiched a chopstick of pork and added it to Qin Fengyan's bowl.
Qin Fengyan pursed the corners of his lips tightly, looking at the pork in the bowl, his face was calm, and he didn't seem to show any emotion, but there was distress and bitterness in those deep eyes.
"I originally wanted to wait for the birth of the child and arrange for you to go to the UK, but your mood has not been good, I thought about it is better to send you back to **, there are your relatives over there, they may be able to make you feel better. After speaking, Qin Fengyan ate the pork in the bowl in one bite, he knew what it meant for her to return to **, but in order to give her the courage and hope to live, after countless psychological struggles, he chose to let go.
Wanqiu said thank you softly, continued to bow her head to eat, didn't pick up a few bites of food, raised her head again, looked at Qin Fengyan, and said softly but very firmly: "**I'll go alone." ”
Qin Fengyan's face darkened, holding the dishes and chopsticks without speaking.
Late Autumn lowered her head, stirred the food in the bowl with chopsticks, and said bitterly: "... After the birth of a child... Just take him away, I don't have the courage to face him, I'm not a good mother... If you want him, you will raise him, and if you don't want him, you will find a good family. After saying that, Wanqiu only felt that her heart was sore, and her tears fell into the bowl one by one.
"He is my child and I will definitely raise him well. Qin Fengyan put down the dishes and chopsticks, held the hand of the late autumn, and sighed softly: "Next week I will go to ** to talk about business, by the way, I will help you find a school, you may be away for a long time, you remember to take good care of yourself." ”
Wanqiu wanted to withdraw the hand he was holding, but he was afraid that if he did this, he would fall into a trace, Qin Fengyan was too smart, and it was not easy for Wanqiu to hide his emotions in front of him. But thinking that there would be no time to see him for a long time, Wanqiu's heart suddenly felt a little lighter, and she mustered up her courage, put two chopsticks and vegetarian dishes into his bowl, and then ate without saying a word.
Because of the absent-mindedness of eating, the corners of Late Autumn's mouth were stained with a lot of rice grains, Qin Fengyan had a smile in her eyes, stretched out her hand, and gently wiped off the rice grains on her face, Late Autumn's body trembled slightly, her face turned pale, but she did not refuse, and when the rice grains on her face were cleaned up by Qin Fengyan, she continued to bury her head in eating.
Qin Fengyan went for three months, during which she sent a lot of materials to the university, as well as some exercises for the school preparatory exam, although her academic performance was very good in late autumn, but because of some differences in the education systems of the two schools, she still had to work hard to be admitted to the law department of the first famous university. So she only slept six hours a day, and spent the rest of the time reading, even eating at the desk.
Zhang's mother saw her like this, she was comforted and distressed, and the comfort was that the late autumn finally stopped feeling sorry for herself, and was determined to get out of the past and work hard, the distressing thing was that she was pregnant with a child, and her body was just sick, so desperate, I couldn't use it for two days a day, and in the long run, how could the body stand it.
In the late autumn to devote himself to the study at the same time, time is also passing quickly, the trees outside the courtyard in the silent, from the dead branches gradually grow green, budding, and then grow lively green leaves, and slowly from the green leaves to the dead leaves, from time to time with the autumn wind, from the window to the late autumn desk.
Autumn has come before you know it.
When Qin Fengyan stepped into this room again, it was noon, and he had just had lunch in late autumn, and he was sitting at his desk reading a book, when he heard the footsteps and turned around, he saw Qin Fengyan, he was slightly shocked, and then smiled shallowly, that smile was like the wind blowing and the water was quiet, clean and bright, with the indifference and calm between the eyebrows and eyes, like an empty valley orchid.
Qin Fengyan's breath suddenly stagnated, and he didn't even dare to exhale for a while, lest it be too big and scatter this long-lost smile.
Time seems to have returned to the age of eighteen, one afternoon, the world was quiet, and he was quietly leaning under a tree and listening to songs.
"Brother Fengyan!" a soft call sounded beside him.
The wind of early autumn weakened this soft call, and it was a sweet female voice, like the sound of a yellow warbler out of the valley.
He looked back...
Under the sun, a little girl who is as beautiful as a pink butterfly fluttering her light wings is smiling at him, he has never been interested in girls, and his heart is shocked for no reason, not how beautiful the girl is, but in the girl's bright eyes, he saw the cleanliness and purity that is not like an ordinary fetus.
The overwhelming joy overflowed his heart, Qin Fengyan almost couldn't control his emotions and rushed over, but the moment he saw the smile of late autumn, it was like being struck by lightning, and he only felt that a place in his chest exploded violently, it was a piercing pain, and the pain was so painful that the whole person was about to disperse.
At first glance, the smile is the same as the gentle smile of the past, but when I look into it, I find that the smile contains helplessness, pain, sadness and too many complex emotions.
"When did you come back?" Seeing Qin Fengyan standing still, she got up in late autumn and took two tissues on the table, because she was pregnant with a child, she walked slower than usual, she came to Qin Fengyan's side and gently wiped Qin Fengyan's forehead with a tissue: "Did you run back? Why is there sweat on your face?"
Qin Fengyan's face was pale, like a stone carving, standing dumbfounded, he had been looking forward to the mood of late autumn to get better, although he knew that it was difficult, but he still hoped that she could smile again, not this cold smile now but a smile like the warm sun in March.
Although Qin Fengyan's whole body was cold, he only felt that the sky was desolate, but he still held the hand of the late autumn to wipe the sweat, although his expression was indifferent, but there was something very gentle in his eyes: "I just arrived in the morning, and I have a meeting in the afternoon, only this time can I find time to see you, but the car broke down halfway." “
Wanqiu glanced at the hand that was tightly held by Qin Fengyan, smiled slightly, slowly held him, and took his hand and walked towards the desk.
"It's rare that you're back, help me look at these two cases, there are some things I don't understand. Late autumn opened a thick book of contract law cases, pointed to the marked page, and asked tangledly: "... You look at this example, why the contract is invalid, what are the restrictions on those additional clauses, and here..."
Wanqiu pointed to the exercise and looked up at Qin Fengyan, but saw Qin Fengyan's gaze fixed on her face, dark and gloomy, Wanqiu touched her face and forced a smile: "What's wrong? Is there something dirty on my face?"
Qin Fengyan woke up like a dream, he shook his head invisibly, his eyes were still staring at the late autumn, but his voice was faint: "I don't understand the law." ”
"But this case involves some things in international trade, and you're an expert in that. ”
Qin Fengyan said absentmindedly, yes, his gaze was still fixed on Late Autumn's face.
Late autumn was a little embarrassed by him, and put down the book in his hand sheepishly: "Forget it, I'll do my own research, you didn't have lunch, I'll let Zhang's mother prepare some meals." ”
After Qin Fengyan sent Wanqiu downstairs, he gently flipped through the books on the desk, the three thick law books were full of notes, the books were a little wrinkled by the flipping, and almost all of the three books were finished......
