Chapter Ninety-One: A White Liar
Walking down the street, my steps were heavy and slow, and the pedestrians hurriedly passed me, as if I could not see anyone, nor did I care about the strange gaze of others, but only immersed in the sadness of solitude.
Everything changed too fast. It made me feel at a loss. It's just one day, but I seem to have experienced a year, so long and tortuous, when I get up in the morning, I am happy with Xu Nan, but suddenly, she is gone, and I have not recovered from the pain of separation. I was beaten by Xue Jinwei again, and I came to the bathing center in a mess. Not only did he not find out the truth, but he once again let the woman in red mock, humiliate, and torture, I still don't know, why did the woman in red do this to me, who is behind the scenes of instructing her?
Judging from the arrogant attitude of the woman in red, the person behind her must have a strong background, otherwise, the woman in red would definitely not dare to be so angry. Even my dad knew it, and she wasn't afraid. Although I was angry, although I was unwilling, her words were so clear and naked, piercing my scars.
She's right, now I'm the biggest dependent. It's my dad, and it's because of my dad that I have the courage to go back to school, because I know that as long as I don't make a big fuss, my dad will help me solve it, he is equivalent to my strong backing, he makes me full of confidence, so that I can really hold my head high and be a man. If it weren't for him, maybe I would have died of depression that day, and I wouldn't have had the courage and confidence to become what I am today.
However, the woman in red seems to have seen everything through, and her words all pierced into my heart, leaving me with nothing to hide, I really don't understand, why does the woman in red have to stop me from falling in love, is it really afraid that I will hurt other girls? No, he must want me to be tortured, but when did I offend such a shady big man? Or is this person behind the scenes, not against me, but at my father?
The woman in red knows my dad's existence, and she is not afraid of my dad at all, she is obviously prepared, it is very likely that the person behind her is doing this to me because of my dad.
But no matter what the reason is, I know that I can't go to my dad now, I can't rely on my dad for everything, I went back to school, I originally wanted to rely on my own appearance, spit out the depression in my heart, and let my dad know that his son is not a coward.
Now, I haven't lasted a few months, I can't beg my dad because of a relationship, I don't want to be a parasite for a lifetime, I don't want to rely on my dad to solve some problems, and more importantly, my dad's temper, if I really want him to help, then it will definitely make a big fuss, I don't want my dad to just come out of prison and go in again, I can't affect him. The service clip just carried.
Suddenly, I felt that I was really like the woman in red said, I had nothing, I was a complete waste, what kind of big thing was I doing like me? Even, at this moment, I was too confused to know where to go.
I don't dare, I'm afraid that the vicious woman in red will really hurt Xu Nan, I can't let Xu Nan get hurt again, let alone let Xu Nan know that the man she loves is back to the past, and he doesn't even have the ability to protect her, I don't want her to see my unbearable side.
The more I thought about it, the more sad I became, and tears kept rolling in my eyes, but this time, I couldn't help but cry, and my steps, unconsciously, in the direction of my heart, came to this original place, Pheasant University.
Near noon, the scorching sun was shining, the campus was still vibrant, and the students who came and went were full of colors, and when they saw me, they couldn't help but show a surprised look and talked about it.
I numbly weaved through the crowd and walked back to my dorm.
In the dormitory, Dongzi was all there, and when he saw that my injury was serious again, Dongzi was the first to come over and said to me: "Brother Rui, why is your injury serious again?" Is it the surname Xue, boss, don't be afraid of him, there are still many brothers who will support you, you are willing to be beaten like this, it will chill the hearts of the brothers, Xue Jinwei is just a person who is about to graduate, even if he is awesome, everyone also understands that it will not be long before he relies on him, you are only a freshman, you are the brightest star, and you are the most valued person by everyone, so we don't need to be afraid of him!" ”
Once, the timid and cowardly Dongzi didn't dare to fight back when he was beaten, but I didn't expect that after this period of time with me, he slowly mixed with me, and now he has this kind of courage, in the face of Xue Jinwei's superlord of the school, he is not afraid at all, and he is so proud, he wants to follow me to deal with Xue Jinwei, and his changes touched me.
Compared to him, I am a little ashamed of myself, I feel as if I have gone back again, back to the most cowardly Wu Lai at the beginning. ad_250_left();
Looking at Dongzi, I paused for a long time before I spoke: "It's not about Xue Jinwei, it's just that I'm in some trouble!"
Dongzi immediately asked, "What's the trouble?"
I hesitated, glanced at these trustworthy brothers in the dormitory a few times, and then said: "It's a bit contradictory to the blue sea and blue sky bathing center near our school!"
I may have said this lightly, but my face was obviously very heavy.
Dongzi saw the seriousness of the matter at once, so he immediately straightened up, he is a jack of all trades, not only knows a lot of things in the school, but also understands some things outside the school, especially this student's paradise on earth, the blue sea and blue sky bathing center, Dongzi knows very well.
He told me very seriously, saying that the owner of that farm is very promising, and we can't afford to mess with it, and his farm is not only this one, but in this city, he also has several entertainment venues, all of which are large-scale ones.
In fact, from the fact that his bathing center can be opened near the university, it can be seen that the boss's background is definitely not bad, so it is impossible for me to take revenge on the woman in red, because with my strength in school, I am on a bar with them, that is, eggs touch stones, besides, few students dare to offend the characters on the road, so for this matter, I am just willing and powerless, and I didn't want my brothers to help.
However, even so, I will not give up easily, I can lose everything, but I must not lose the determination to never give up, no matter what, I will stick to the end. So, looking at the way Dongzi was worried about me, I just perfunctory and said a little thing, but now it's okay, I didn't say the seriousness of the problem, I was afraid that they would worry about me. But in my heart, it was like a tumor, very uncomfortable, very aggrieved, and bitter.
For a while, I had no better way to deal with it, so I could only hide in school and survive. The school is still the garbage university, and the people are still those people, but I no longer look like the original me, I have no energy to study at all, and I can't blend into those laughter, and I no longer have the domineering and ruthlessness that I just came to school, and within a day, my whole person has become vicissitudes, like a down-and-out old man.
Late at night, before going to bed, I took out my mobile phone and looked at several text messages sent by Xu Nan, all of which were affectionate words such as thinking of me waiting for me, looking at every word she sent me, my eyes were unconsciously red, and I wanted to call over, but I didn't have that face, and I pondered for a long time before I sent a text message: "I will pick you up soon, you can stay at home with peace of mind!"
After texting, I fell asleep with my head covered.
The next day, a new day, a new breath, but my mood was still heavy and lonely, because I still couldn't think of any way to cross the ravine of the woman in red.
In desperation, I could only wander around the campus, trying to calm down, trying to think, thinking about my past, present, and future.
And, just as I was thinking a little crazy, an abrupt ringtone suddenly interrupted my train of thought, and I took out my phone and picked it up.
Mu Shihan's soft voice immediately came from the other end of the phone: "Peng Zirui, are you free today?"
Today is a rest day, I really don't have anything to do, but I don't want to get too close to Mu Shihan, I don't want to have any entanglements between the two of us, so I just wanted to refuse her, but unexpectedly, Mu Shihan suddenly added: "My mother wants you to come to the house for dinner!"
Her voice, it sounded, pitiful.
I finally understood why Mu Shihan, who has such a strong sense of self-esteem, would put down her self-esteem and come to me, it turned out that it was all because of Mu's mother, it seems that Mu Shihan is still embarrassed to explain our affairs to Mu's mother, and Mu's mother hasn't seen me these days, she must be missing me.
To be honest, now to anyone, I can refuse, but, to Mu mother, I can't be ruthless, because in my heart, it seems that she has unconsciously regarded her as my mother, only in her, I can find back the feeling of maternal love, I can never forget, how happy and warm the days with her were.
So, after a little meeting, I agreed to Mu Shihan.
Mu Shihan probably also realized that this matter was difficult for me, so she specially said thank you before hanging up the phone.
In fact, I understand Mu Shihan's heart, she is very filial, and her favorite is her mother, she can't bear to make her mother unhappy, so she won't tell her mother that I have a real relationship with her. She's pretending to be strong, that pretending, how bitter it is, I know.
Therefore, for Mu Shihan's filial piety, I can't bear to refuse, no matter what, I have to go to Mu's house, after deciding, I went back to the bedroom to tidy myself up, like a capable handsome guy, I went out and took a taxi to Mu's house.
When I arrived at Mu's house, Mu's mother had already prepared a table of dishes waiting for me, which was very hearty, and it was the same as the New Year, which made me see full of affection at once.
However, as soon as Mu's mother saw me, the charity's face immediately showed anxiety, and she hurriedly asked me with concern why she was hurt.
I didn't want to worry Mu's mother, so I lied, saying that I accidentally touched it, and Mu's mother didn't know if she believed it, anyway, she kept telling me to take good care of myself in the future, don't let myself get hurt, and said a lot, all of which were the most intimate words.
Looking at the kind and beautiful Mu mother, I really put those troubles aside for a while, my heart was full of emotion, her thoughtfulness, her care, all made me feel down-to-earth.
Subsequently, Mu's mother pulled me to the dinner table again, and Mu Shihan helped me serve the meal and take the chopsticks, from the time I came in, she didn't look at me, her expression was a little embarrassed, but she tried her best to hide it.
I was also a little embarrassed, but in order to make Mu's mother happy, I didn't show much abnormality, I still pretended to have a very good relationship with Mu Shihan, and from time to time, Mu Shihan would also cooperate with me, our common purpose was to make Mu's mother feel at ease.
Although there has been something between me and Mu Shihan, but this meal, we still eat happily and happily, I seem to return to the beginning, the three of us together warm life, this is a life without worries, this is also the life I look forward to the most.
In harmony and faint cheerfulness, we finished the meal, and at this time, Mu's mother began to talk about me and Mu Shihan, she told me that when Shihan went home in the past two weeks, she always looked sullen and asked if the two of us were in a mood.
It turns out that Mu's mother is not stupid, she has already seen the signs, even if we work hard, we always lack a sense of natural realism, especially Mu Shihan, she is not good at acting, and the embarrassment and faint sadness in her eyes can't be hidden.
And I, although when I changed my face to be Peng Zirui, I always disguised myself without flaws, but in front of Mu's mother, I still look like an innocent child, and it is difficult to act too realistically, but with Mu's mother, I do have an irreplaceable sense of steadfastness, so I comforted Mu's mother with this feeling, saying that Mu Shihan and I have nothing to do, and now we get along very well.
Seeing Mu's mother happy, my heart became more and more relaxed, so in order to make her happy, I could say anything, and it seemed that I was really not acting, but really saying something.
It's just that what I didn't expect was that Mu's mother saw that there was nothing wrong with the two of us, she suddenly got up, went to the kitchen, and came out with a cake, which was a relatively small birthday cake.
However, what surprised me even more was that after Mu's mother put the cake on the table, she suddenly walked between me and Mu Shihan, and then, she grabbed Mu Shihan's hand with one hand, grabbed my hand with the other, and then put our hands together, and then she turned her face, looked at me seriously, and said seriously:
"Zirui, you shouldn't know yet, today is Shihan's birthday, Shihan's child has a hard life, every year she celebrates her birthday, it is our mother and son who stay together, a little more cooking is considered a birthday, today finally you accompany her birthday, Auntie is very happy, so I specially bought a cake to celebrate, but Auntie thinks, this is far from enough, I hope that you can always accompany Shihan, make her happy, so that she can have a decent birthday, Auntie has no ability, can't give her anything, but Auntie has a good eye, likes you, values you, so, I really want to entrust Shihan to you, let you take good care of her, don't let this child be wronged again, can you promise Auntie?"
