Chapter 18: Parting

When I opened my eyes, I felt like the people of the United States were holding a parliament, and I was going to explode in minutes, smelled the fragrance on the quilt, and was glad that I didn't vomit Kevin's bed again. Every time I finish drinking, I wake up in Kevin's room, and I'm used to it. I rubbed my head, felt my mouth dry, reached out and searched for it at the head of the bed, and sure enough, there was a bottle of water left for me by Kevin, and I suddenly heard a whispered conversation in the yard while drinking. hurriedly tidied up her clothes and walked out, afraid that Ah Cai would misunderstand and just wanted to explain, but she didn't expect her to look very calm, still talking and laughing with Kevin, as if she didn't see me.

"I can really sleep, don't say that Kevin's skills are really good, let's wash up and eat." ”

Ah Cai doesn't look like he has just experienced a catastrophe.

Remembering the phone call that woke me up just now, I looked at Ah Cai and I wanted to stop talking.

"Say whatever you want, look at the way you can't hide your words. ”

"Wang Zi asked me if you were here...... Then he said he was coming. ”

"You told him?"

"I didn't...... I said you're not there, but he doesn't believe it, he has to come and see ......."

Ah Cai rolled my eyes and went back to the house to start cleaning up.

After a while, she put on her makeup, rubbed a thick concealer on her face, and returned to her former dazzling appearance. I am happy in my heart, if this disaster can make her and Wang Zi start again, then I can be relieved.

"Xiaolu, Ah Cai......" Wang Zi stretched out his hand to say hello, he was still the same as when we were in school, wearing a plaid shirt with a T-shirt underneath, although he was also very simple as the boss, not at all as flamboyant as his name.

"Ah Cai, can I talk to you?"

I glanced at Kevin, "You talk." He then dragged Kevin into his room.

But I still couldn't resist eavesdropping by the door.

"Ah Cai...... I...... I'd like to talk to you about ......"

"Well, you say. Listening to Ah Cai's gentle tone, I was relieved to feel that she had finally opened her mind.

"Actually...... I...... Well...... Why would you do that?" Wang Zi unsurprisingly asked what I least wanted him to say.

"What did I do?" Maybe I thought too much, she didn't get angry because of this sentence, and Ah Cai's tone was still gentle.

"Ah Cai, you know what I do to you...... In the past six years, my mind has not changed, I have been waiting for you to ......" time was silent for a few seconds, "why ......"

"What why?" Ah Cai sneered, "Can it be why, for money." ”

"I'm already working on a third branch now, and ...... money"

"What are you kidding? You're a car repairer, tell me that you have money, do you see these cards? Every one of them can take your car dealership!"

Ah Cai was so angry that I wanted to go out and beat her up, so that she would wake up again! I was about to rush out but Kevin held me down, and he shook his head and motioned for me to continue listening.

"Ah Cai, there will not be a second man in this world who treats you like me, you have such a thing! Other people are too late to run, so I am the only one who still comes to beg you!"

"Wang Zi, you look down on me too much, what kind of person am I, Lu Acai, when I go out today, there are still a lot of men around me!"

"Okay, okay, you go to those old men of yours! If I, Wang Zi, come to you again, I won't be surnamed Wang!"

"Bang" There was a huge slamming sound, I wanted to rush out and scold Ah Cai to wake up, but when I came out, I saw Ah Cai lying on the stone table, crying like a child, even when she came back that day, she never cried like a tearful person.

"Why bother?" I patted Ah Cai on the back, "Since I still have him in my heart, give him a chance, and give myself a chance." ”

"Who said I still have him in my heart?"

"Look at how sad you are crying. ”

Ah Cai tried to hold back her tears, but she should have endured it for too long just now, although she bit her lip, it still had no effect, just like the autumn of her junior year, after she broke up with Wang Zi, she cried and ran in the fallen leaves, so that none of us could catch up with her.

"Although Wang Zi is a little unworthy of you, he can't be so ......"

"Who is he not worthy of me...... It's clear that I'm not worthy of him...... He is a prince and rides a white horse, but I am destined to be a Cinderella digging coal, and even if I wear a crystal slipper, I will not become a pure and flawless Snow White. Ah Cai got up and walked into the house. Leaving us with a lost soul.

In the afternoon, Ah Cai's younger siblings came to my house, Ah Cai informed them to come, I thought she was going home, but I didn't expect that she did say as arranging the aftermath: "In the future, you have to take care of your parents, if you want to study in China, the money should be enough, but if you want to study abroad, maybe the living expenses can't last too long, and then you have to rely on yourself......

"Sister...... Are you alright?" said Acai's sister with red eyes.

"Xiao Zi, sister is fine. Ah Cai touched Xiao Zi's face, and her tone became serious again, "I have clearly written down the usefulness of each of these cards, if you dare to spend money, I will definitely not spare you!"

"It's disgusting, you've done such a shameless thing yourself, what qualifications do you have to take care of us. ”

"Han, what are you talking about?" asked Xiao Zizi.

"What did she do herself, don't you know in your heart? What did I say......

"Smack" Before I could make a move, Xiao Zi slapped Han in the face.

"Han, my sister didn't do this for us, what kind of clothes did you wear that your sister didn't buy for you?Which food you used didn't cost your sister's money?" Xiao Zi finally burst into tears.

Ah Han wanted to argue, but if Ah Cai hadn't stopped him, Xiao Zi's other slap would have been hit.

"Sister, don't listen to his nonsense, he cried when he saw your video last night. He also proposed to take the train overnight, and he was in a hurry more than anyone else. ”

"I ...... I didn't ......," Han argued.

Ah Cai touched their heads, and said earnestly: "I will leave for Africa early tomorrow morning, you have to take good care of yourself, and find your sister Xiaolu if there is anything in the future." ”

"What? where are you going? Why didn't you tell us in advance?" I jumped out of my chair.

"I signed up a long time ago, didn't I just make up my mind this time...... I haven't had time to tell you yet. ”

Ah Cai didn't keep his younger brothers and sisters, bought them plane tickets, and despite the two children's crying faces, he directly packed and stuffed the car to the airport.

Sending them away, I looked at Ah Cai, not knowing what to say, but tears kept rolling in my eyes.

"Little deer, you know, my dream has always been to join a rescue team or something, and I trained when I was in college. ”

"I know...... But ......"

"Although I have always disliked you as a little teacher, I am very envious in my heart, thinking that if I didn't carry so many burdens, maybe I could be a teacher and burn myself or something. Ah Cai's long eyelashes drooped, "In the past few years, I have donated money to many non-profit organizations, thinking about what to do if a child like me goes astray." They've organized some events before, but I haven't been there...... This...... Just in time, you should have realized your ideals. ”

Ah Cai has always had the heart to do public welfare, I know, every time I think about a beautiful face and a beautiful heart. It's just that I haven't asked where the money comes from, if I could have asked......

"Africa...... Plague, war, beasts, ......"

"You don't have to worry about me, the medical team I am with this time is very well equipped and protected by professional troops. Ah Cai said with a radiant look, which made me feel that if she was relieved of the burden on her body, it would also be a blessing in disguise.

This time, unlike the morning news and the noon news, it means that the whole city, young and old, can recognize our voices through the mosaic that is the same as not. The hot search on Weibo has been hanging up from last night to now, and it has been hot enough for 24 hours. Even my mother, who was thousands of miles away, called me to count me down. In order to prevent Xiaoxiao from being damaged by Ah Cai, Xiaoxiao's parents installed an anti-theft net at home, completely eliminating all the possibilities of Xiaoxiao coming to Ah Cai except for work hours.

This night, Ah Cai and I talked all night like when we were in school, laughing and crying, crying and laughing, like two crazy people......

The next morning, it was drizzling and an hour's drive away, but we didn't say a word.

Ah Cai looked at the bustling crowd, I knew that she was waiting for Xiaoxiao.

"It's time for me to go. Ah Cai took the luggage from Kevin's hand.

"Wait a minute, Xiaoxiao should be there soon. ”

Ah Cai shook her head, pointed to the crowd of people who greeted her in the distance, and said, "Look, so many people are waiting for me." She took two steps forward, and my tears began to flow uncontrollably.

"Crying for what, it's not like I'm not coming back. Ah Cai looked back at me, and her tears were also dripping down.

"Kevin, take care of this idiot. ”

Seeing Kevin nodding, Ah Cai turned around and strode towards the security checkpoint.

I crouched on the ground, crying so hard that I couldn't imagine what life would be like without Ah Cai.

"Ah Cai!" A voice sounded in the distance, I wiped my tears and got up to look, Xiaoxiao ran towards this side barefoot regardless of the gaze of pedestrians, Li Chen carried a pair of high heels behind her.

"Ah Cai!

Ah Cai at the security checkpoint looked back at Xiaoxiao happily, threw down her luggage, and rushed over.

The three of us cried and hugged each other, ignoring the onlookers who came and went, and experienced the sad parting that may be staged every day at the door of the departure hall.

"You two have to be good. ”

"You are, you're out there, you have to take care of yourself. ”

"Come back early. ”

"Hmm!"

……

After Ah Cai walked to us completely out of sight, Li Chen helped Xiaoxiao put on her high heels.

We walked up to the elevated shelf at the airport and guessed which one Aya was flying.

"Your feet hurt, huh?"

Xiaoxiao still had tears in her eyes, but she looked at me with a smile on her face and said, "I feel a little pain now." ”

The two of us looked at each other and smiled, and then thought of the nature of Xiaoxiao's work: "How did you run out?

"This weekend, no work. Xiaoxiao replied with a smile.

"Oh...... No, how can you come out on weekends when your parents are at home?"

"It's not thanks to my good acting skills," Li Chen invited the credit in the back.

"You said Ah Cai ......," Xiaoxiao's tone was full of worry.

"She's enjoying her job, don't worry. ”

I comforted Xiaoxiao, but looking at the plane that disappeared into the sky, my tears welled up again.

I thought that after Ah Cai left, the news about me and Ah Cai who had played a mosaic like no one would pass. But I opened Weibo cautiously, only to find that the past three days have only given netizens enough time to doxx us and spread it......

Along with Kevin's name, only ...... knew that Kevin lived here I didn't dare to think about it anymore and hurriedly called Xiaoxiao,

"Sorry, the user you dialed is down...... so

y……”

Although she knew yesterday that Xiaoxiao would definitely face a fierce battle when she returned home, she didn't expect her parents to solve it so thoroughly for her. Xiaoxiao's family has been a scholarly family for generations, and Xiaoxiao has always been well-behaved and obedient, and it is normal for her to cut off contact with us when this kind of thing happens. Simply since the events of that day, Kevin felt that Weibo was a bad thing, so he uninstalled it directly, and now he is also annoyed.

"I never thought of it......

Fortunately, my phone is still ringing cheerfully, and people can be happier when they listen to it.

"It seems that after my relatives and friends comforted me, it was my turn to be the leader again. I said to Kevin with a wry smile.

Picked up the phone and tried to pretend to be completely unaffected: "Secretary Zhang." ”

Secretary Zhang hummed on the other end of the phone for a long time before saying, "Little ...... Deer......"

"Hmm, what's wrong, Secretary Zhang?"

"This ...... It's been more than a year......" he paused for a few seconds again before continuing, "It's been almost two years since you interned......

"Well, one year and eight months. ”

"You are in the Youth League Committee, you have always been conscientious, you are reliable, and the students like you. ”

It's not a year-end review, why is Secretary Zhang suddenly so serious.

"Secretary Zhang, is there something wrong?"

"Yesterday a parent called the school to complain, saying that we ...... Teachers in our school...... That is to say, there is a problem with the private morality of the school teacher......"

As I listened to this, my head buzzed.

"The school was supposed to be just a harassing phone call, but this morning it got more and more calls...... In the morning, the board of directors convened the school leaders to hold an emergency board ......"

I took a deep breath, tried to suppress my emotions and said, "Secretary Zhang, just say it directly, are you going to punish me?"

"This ...... Fawn...... You see, you just made such a great contribution to the school a few days ago, and there was nothing derelict in your work before......"

"Secretary Zhang, I really didn't think about it, and you should punish me, I understand. ”

"Therefore, I told the leader that Xiaolu is a good comrade and is very sensible...... I've been pleading for you, and I think it's a bit too much...... But the school manager thinks it's about to be re-recorded, isn't it...... This is a ...... that affects admissions."

"Just tell me what the punishment is. "The sense of foreboding in my heart is getting stronger and stronger.

"Dismissal ......"
