Chapter 11: It's too late to say I love you
Lin Yinuo walked on the road alone, she didn't know how long she had been walking, she didn't know where she had gone, she wanted to find a place where there was no one so that the tears could flow......
Until a voice called her, "Yinuo, where are you going?"
Where to go? I don't know, where else can she go now? She raised her teary face and saw Lu Xiuwen appear in front of her......
Lu Xiuwen's haggard face and red eyes made her even more sad. So she lowered her head, not wanting to look at him, and not wanting him to see, and she cried again......
She walked for a long time, and she didn't know where she went, but she saw a lot of green bonsai, and those bonsai were all standing there in different postures, not moving, not painful......
"If I look like this, if I look like this, if I look like other people, strange shapes! Will the world tolerate me? Will it appreciate me? Will it change me? If there is a gardener in life, how good it would be, you can keep all the right things, prune all the wrong ones, and no one will get hurt. How nice it would be if there was a gardener like this in life......"
She looked at Lu Xiuwen faintly: "I heard that there is a temple here, you can make a wish?"
There is indeed a temple here, but in the opposite direction.
He took her to the temple and accompanied her to offer incense. He knew that she believed in Buddhism, and when he first saw her, he saw her wearing a string of Buddhist beads on her hand.
There was a large Bodhi tree in the courtyard, and there were many notes and blessings hanging on it, and Yinuo shook the Bodhi tree vigorously, but he couldn't shake it.
Lu Xiuwen asked her, "What are you doing?"
"If I shake hard when I'm desperate, I can always shake down a hope and see a way out, right?"
"Yinuo......" His voice was a little hoarse: "Susan...... It's going to be fine!"
She sat there, the darkness of the night hanging over her. This day should be jubilant and full of joy, but her face was full of sadness, and the fireworks that rose, bloomed, and fell in the distance could not withstand the tears in her eyes......
"It's me...... It's me who has made you what you are today......" Her tears fell and fell on the back of her hand.
The New Year's bell was about to ring, and she said, "Lu Xiuwen, let's make a wish together!"
He accompanies her to make a wish.
"What did you wish?" he asked
"I hope I'll have a lot of money!" she said, "If I had money, my sister wouldn't be sick, you wouldn't vomit and diarrhea every day, and Brother Ding wouldn't have to cough all the time and endure it...... Lu Xiuwen, what wish did you make?"
"Secret ......"
For the first time, he looked at her with an empty and desperate look: "Lin Yinuo, go home!"
She looked up at him in surprise, and he turned away from her......
Lan Bo came back, Lu Xiuwen looked for Lan Bo, they talked for a long time, Yinuo didn't know what they talked about, only saw Lan Bo move all his things back.
My sister was discharged from the hospital, and the day my sister was discharged from the hospital, that is, the day Yinuo was leaving, she knew it in her heart.
Perhaps, her departure is the best choice, isn't it?
Anyway, she has thousands of reluctances......
If you know it's a mistake,
Are you still afraid to pay?
If there is no road under your feet,
It is helpless to walk or not to walk.
A tortuous journey,
Looking back, I don't know where I am.
If you choose, you don't have to cry,
I'm still going my way.
She wrote this little poem in her diary......
When Lu Xiuwen came in, he gave her a backpack full of food. She didn't know where he got the money for his hospitalization, or where he got the money to buy him a ferry ticket. He didn't say it, and she didn't dare to ask.
He put a few books in Yinuo's handbag and put a bottle of pure water in it......
Yinuo looked at his slender fingers, his back that was a little crooked because he was too thin, and his deep-contoured side face, and suddenly his nose straightened and sour......
"Lu Xiuwen, I helped you fix the buttons on your white shirt, and I helped you fix the hole in the back of your jeans......
His fingers froze there, and his pale cheeks suddenly turned red......
"Lu Xiuwen, you have to promise me one thing, after I leave, you have to help me take care of my sister, and you can't let people bully her. β
He lowered his head: "Okay, I promise you!"
He took her hand and wrote on her palm: 191-5305185
"In the future, no matter what happens, call this number!" he commanded, "I'll give you three hours to remember it!"
He walked out.
When Yang Zi came in, Yinuo was still there holding the number......
"Arnold," Yang Zi smiled and said softly, "I'm really sorry Arnold, I was not good last time, I shouldn't have said that about your sister! I also heard it from the outside, and I didn't think about it, so I believed it! You pushed me, and I started to have a stomachache, I thought it was ...... I'm sorry for you Arnold, I've been feeling guilty these days, I want to say sorry to you, but I can't open my mouth, seeing that you're leaving, I'm really reluctant to do this! Arnold, you have a lot, just forgive me, okay?"
"It's fine. Yinuo looked at her sincerely: "It was originally a misunderstanding, don't take it to heart." β
"Then you don't blame me?"
"I don't blame you. β
"Arnold, you're so nice!" she took Yinuo's hand.
Yinuo had the number in his hand, but he didn't open it, and he clenched his fist.
She took Yinuo's other hand and said, "We study together every morning and go to class together, for so many days, seeing that you are leaving, I am really reluctant to ......"
When she said this, Yinuo also became sad.
"Arnold, how long have you been in Hainan?"
"More than three months. She said, yes, it's been more than three months in the blink of an eye, and those three months are more than she's learned in 17 years......
"In the past three months of contact, who do you like the most in this family?"
"I love them all!"
"No, no......" she explained, "I'm not talking about friends, not brothers and sisters, but between men and women...... About Love......"
"Love? I don't know, I haven't thought about it. β
"Now think about it, you're about to leave, who are you most reluctant to give up, who are you most worried about, who are you afraid of never seeing again?"
Yinuo's mind suddenly flashed Lu Xiuwen's face......
"Noββ!" Yinuo was startled and shook his head vigorously: "He's a brother-in-law, no!"
"What?" Yang Zi didn't understand.
"No!" she said, her face burning like it was on fire, "no one!"
"Nobody? If you think about it, these days, there are no people who have helped you, taken care of you, brought you help and changed......?
"A little bit more special...... The person who brought me a change......" She thought for a while and said, "Yes, Brother Xiaojing!" When I first came, I was scared and cried when I sang on stage, but now I won't be scared at all! This is thanks to Brother Xiaojing!"
Yang Zi's crooked eyes made the smile deeper.
Susan called them outside, "It's time to eat!"
"Oh-" Yinuo walked out with Yang Zi and sat side by side. Today, for the first time, she felt that Yang Zi was also her family.
This is her last meal to eat at this home, she looked at Lu Xiuwen, is it that the person I am most reluctant to reluctant, the person who is most afraid of being invisible, is it?
When Xiao Jing ran in from outside, Yang Zi suddenly stood up, pulled Xiao Jing over, pressed him to Yinuo and sat down, everyone looked at her suspiciously, she said gently: "Just now I saw Arnold standing there with a sad face, I asked her, she is leaving, is there anyone who can't let go? She said that the person she is the most reluctant to see, the person who is most afraid of being invisible, and the person who is the most special in her heart is Xiao Jing! This little girl is embarrassed to say, it turns out that the person she has always liked in her heart is Xiao Jing, then I, as a sister, will say it for her today!" β
Xiao Jing's face turned red all of a sudden, and he looked at Lin Yinuo in surprise.
"You-" Yinuo looked at Yang Zi, and then looked at Lu Xiuwen with a blushing face, he lowered his head to eat, and didn't say anything.
Yinuo put down his chopsticks, turned around and ran back to the room......
She said to herself: Lin Yinuo, you must not cry! You must learn to grow up! You must learn to control tears, you must not cry! As soon as you cry, your sister will collapse, as soon as you cry, Brother Lan Bo will cry; as soon as you cry, Brother Lan Bo will cry; as soon as you cry...... Perhaps, there is one person, and he will feel even more sad in his heart......
If you want to cry, you can cry alone after you get on the boat......
So, she desperately endured it......
Lan Bo took off the jade pendant from his neck and put it on Yinuo: "Yinuo, you must pay attention to safety on the road, remember what I told you! I don't have anything valuable for you, this jade pendant was read in the temple, you can leave a souvenir!"
Yinuo nodded, took off the Buddhist beads in her hand, and put them in Lan Bo's hand, she had nothing to give to Lan Bo's eldest brother except this string of Buddhist beads.
Lan Bo looked at her: "Yinuo, this Buddha bead...... Give it to Asho, he ......" He prophesied again: "...... More suitable!"
Yes, he is a person who does not eat meat, and no one is more suitable for this string of Buddha beads than him. And she, a carnivore, has been wearing Buddha beads for many years, which is so funny!
She put the Buddha beads in Lu Xiuwen's hand: "Lu Xiuwen...... I ......"
He lowered his eyes, didn't look at her, didn't say anything, and never said a word the whole time......
She couldn't look into Susan's eyes, she was afraid she wouldn't be able to control herself, so she turned around and walked onto the deck......
"Arnoldβ" she cried out to Susan......
But she couldn't turn back, tears rolled down, she had no way to turn back, she said in her heart: "Lu Xiuwen, goodbye......"
When she got on the boat, she was surprised to find that in addition to her favorite chicken thighs, there was also the snow-white sunny day doll that she had thrown into the water, wearing a wedding dress and looking like an angel......
When she got home, the first thing she did was dial the longest number code she had remembered since she was so old:
191ββ5305185
The phone came back quickly, and she quickly grabbed the receiver and said, "Lu Xiuwen, I have something to tell you-"
"I'm Xiao Jing!" Xiao Jing's gentle voice came from over there: "Ah Xiu is busy, let me call you back......"
"Why...... Lu Xiuwen?" Lin Yinuo's tears fell, and what Xiao Jing said again, she couldn't hear it anymore......
