106 Chinese New Year's Eve
"Senior sister. I screamed, not knowing what to say. Yin Qianyan was very anxious, stepped into the house, and closed the 'door'.
"Xixi, I have something to explain to you. In her expression, anxious, uneasy, and embarrassed, she weaved together and said to me, "There is a misunderstanding of what you saw just now. Yan Hua has something left on me, and he will use it in a hurry tomorrow morning, so he rushed over to get it just now. ”
I haven't asked Yin Qianyan to explain, but she found me first, and she has a bit of a taste of three hundred taels of silver here. In fact, from the demeanor, words and deeds of Yin Qianyan and Yan Hua on weekdays, the 'private' relationship has already been seen, and discerning people have long speculated. In the middle of the night, she used "falling something" as an excuse, how could it be convincing?
Still, I spoke softly and said in a low voice, "I know, I won't 'mess around'." ”
"Really? No one can mention it. Yin Qianyan suddenly raised his tone and emphasized again.
"Of course, I'm not a gossip. ”
Hearing this, Yin Qianyan breathed a sigh of relief, and his face tended to soften. Suddenly remembered something, and asked me curiously: "Min Xixi, is that person your Arab boyfriend just now?" I glanced at it, and it felt a little familiar. ”
She groaned for a moment, and suddenly a flash of inspiration appeared: "I remember! During the previous 'China Day', I was in charge of the activity area. This handsome guy sat there playing in the mud very early, looking absent-minded, and finally even left the half-finished product and ran away!" She seemed to have discovered a new world of gossip, and asked me with great interest, "Is he from our school?"
"Yes. I nodded, seeing that she had a great momentum to expand the publicity of this matter, I felt uneasy, and said hesitantly: "Regarding me and him tonight, I also hope that you don't talk about it, senior sister." ”
Yin Qianyan was stunned, "Why? Are you still worried that we won't be able to accept you falling in love with an Arab? This is a good thing." ”
"Not for this reason. I shook my head, only vaguely mentioning it, and didn't want to explain more.
Yin Qianyan squinted his eyes and looked at me, with a few wisps of speculation in his eyes, and asked tentatively, "Are you afraid that others will know?"
I was hesitant and didn't know what to say.
In the few seconds I hesitated, Yin Qianyan's look became a little confident. Fang Cai's panic and embarrassment gradually subsided, and he said unhurriedly: "Xixi, as long as you don't 'mess around', I won't talk too much." But if you don't comply, I won't hide it for you. How about we all keep tonight a secret?"
This sentence is not a promised 'kiss', but more like a 'trade' for the sake of fairness, or a *'naked' threat. The heart unconsciously 'twitched' pain, for this late-night encounter, in fact, we all know each other, but why, we have to use coercion in exchange for silence.
But when I think about it, I understand her. Yin Qianyan was worried that I had missed the relationship between her and Yan Hua, but now, the handle that I couldn't make public was also in her hands, and the whole person was a little more confident. I can't complain about her, everyone has the consciousness to protect themselves. If you have chips in your hand, your mind will be able to settle down.
So, I nodded knowingly and said, "Okay, I didn't see anything tonight." ”
Yin Qianyan laughed, patted me on the shoulder silently, and returned to her own room.
Just as he was about to go to bed, he received a text message from Moussa.
"Cece, are you okay? Are those two friends just now, will they spread the word?"
A wordless bitterness flooded his throat, and it turned out that Moses was so worried that we would be exposed in broad daylight.
After some consideration, I replied to him, "It's okay, just assume you didn't see them tonight." For the rest, it should be fine. ”
"Okay, I'm worried. Rest early and good night. ”
"Good night. ”
Some people, on the surface, look very sweet, but in fact they are full of bitterness, and some things, which are very happy when you look at them roughly, are actually full of entanglements. Under the moonlight, we are lovers with grinding ears and temples, but in the daylight, we can only have the friction of playing on the spot.
Is it worth it to bear the pain for a hopeless love?
There is no solution to this problem.
Because the lingering love in this world is never worth it or not, only willing or unwilling.
Soon it was Chinese New Year's Eve, and in the United Arab Emirates, the atmosphere of the 'Spring' Festival was very light. He was called by Yun Yushu early in the morning, saying that he would accompany him to the airport to pick up his parents. I hurriedly changed into a decent set of clothes, put on light makeup, took my handbag, and went to the airport with Yun Yushu, who was waiting downstairs.
At this time, it is the peak tourist season, and the airport is very busy with people. The huge electronic bulletin board scrolled through the flight information in English and Arabic, and the class that found Yun Yushu's parents had arrived for ten minutes, but there was no one for a long time, and it was estimated that they were lining up to take eye masks. I recall that when I first came to Dubai, it took me two hours just to get into the door.
After waiting for an hour, the phone rang, and seeing that it was Moussa's number, I ran to the side corner and picked it up.
"Hi, Moussa. ”
"Happy Chinese New Year's Eve, cece. His tone was as doting and gentle as ever.
For a moment, he was inexplicably moved in his heart, and early in the morning, he was still thinking about the traditional Chinese festivals, and he remembered them bit by bit.
I smiled sweetly and replied, "You're happy too." ”
At this moment, the over-the-air radio sounded a string of Arabic, followed by a few words of English, informing that a certain flight had been delayed.
Musa's voice tightened slightly: "Where are you?"
Obviously unable to hide it, I told the truth: "...... at the airport"
"What are you doing at the airport? leaving?" he was worried about this.
"No, my friend's parents came to Dubai and I accompanied my friend to pick me up. "I told the truth, but I deliberately avoided my friend's name and 'sex', for fear that Moussa would think too much.
He relaxed slightly, not doubting too much: "Well, then you take care of yourself." ”
"Well, you too. I let out a sigh of relief and hung up.
As soon as he returned to Yun Yushu and stood still, he saw him waving excitedly in front of him, and the two middle-aged people saw him, their eyes lit up, and they greeted him excitedly. Presumably, it was his parents.
I was half a step behind Yun Yushu, and I kept a polite and distant smile all the time. While they were chatting warmly, suddenly, Yun Yushu grabbed my sleeve, pulled me to his side, and introduced to his parents: "Min Xixi, a junior sister who is one level younger than me, is the 'girl' child I mentioned to you before. ”
Hearing this, Yun Yushu's mother's eyes immediately glowed with even brighter brilliance. Her gaze shifted to me, kind and gentle.
"Xiaoxi, thank you for your hard work, come to the airport to pick us up so early. She smiled at me, warmth seeping into her heart.
"It's not hard. I shook my head busily, trying to make myself look generous and considerate, "Auntie and uncle are okay, aren't you tired?" ”
"It's okay, it's okay. Yun Yushu's mother slapped the back of my hand and smiled gently.
The hotel that Yun Yushu booked for his parents was the wine where the 'female' graduate student stayed. Considering that there are also party activities in the evening, this will also make them less 'busy'.
After a Middle Eastern lunch, Yun Yushu and I accompanied his parents to visit several famous attractions in Dubai, such as the Burj Khalifa, Burj Al Arab, The Palm Island, ...... Along the way, Yun Yushu and his father walked in front, while his mother and I were left behind.
After a few scenic spots, I got acquainted with Yun Yushu's mother, and she began to talk a lot, and said to me seriously: "Xiaoxi, I always urged Yushu to fall in love quickly, for fear that he would not be able to catch up with a good girl." I've heard him talk about you many times, and I can tell that he cares about you. When Yuki was young, his father and I were busy with work, so we didn't pay much attention to him and ignored a lot of his feelings. He has been stubborn since he was a child, although he speaks relatively straight, but he has a good heart, what about you, generous and calm, I like it very much. I hope you will be kind to each other, and take care of each other when you are abroad, okay?"
Her words were sincere, and I, a temporary 'girlfriend', had no choice but to smile and nod her head: "Auntie, don't worry, Yushu is very good to me, and I will definitely take good care of him." ”
Yun Yushu walked ahead, probably overheard my conversation with his mother, turned his head, looked at me meaningfully, and smiled with satisfaction.
I don't quite understand the meaning of this smile, I just feel a little embarrassed. Fortunately, at this time, Yun Yushu's father looked at his watch and said, "It's almost half past three, and the 'Spring Festival' will start at four o'clock in the evening, let's go back first." ”
When I got on the taxi and returned to the hotel, the rest of the international students were already busy and the materials that needed to be prepared were all ready. The table was piled with all kinds of snacks and snacks, and cold dishes were already on the table. Eat dumplings, watch the 'Spring Festival' evening, and eat hot pot together in the evening. Yun Yushu's father also brought two bottles of "Erguotou" from China to celebrate with us.
It's rare to have a party with alcohol, and the interest is naturally higher than usual. Yun Yushu's parents are very kind people, and it didn't affect the fiery atmosphere. In the midst of the 'intertwining', accompanied by the live broadcast of the 'Spring Festival' Gala, the overseas students seem to have found another kind of warmth. It is only when we bear the name of a wanderer that we know what a concrete feeling of homesickness is.
"Come on, come on, I'll take a big group photo for everyone. Jia Yi stood in front of the TV and said to us with a greasy mouth.
As soon as the words fell, everyone actively rubbed in front of the camera and posed in various poses. Yun Yushu sat next to me, looked at the camera, and put his arm around my shoulder, letting me lean into his arms.
I tried to break free, but under the watchful eyes of his parents, I obediently quieted down. Forget it, the 'sex' is just the time to take a photo, send the Buddha to the west, since you are pretending, let's pretend to be the end.
"Three, two, one, eggplant!"
I grinned, smiling like everyone in the photo.
"Nice, nice, nice. Jia Yi flipped through the photos he took, sighed three times in a row, and said with a smile, "I have to upload it to Facebook quickly, so that others can see our group of Chinese students, who are overseas, but their hearts are at home." ”
Someone casually asked, "How did you use Facebook?"
"The most used social 'communication' software in the UAE is Facebook, and if I meet friends from other countries, I have to use this 'communication' channel. When you're in Dubai, you can't stay in the intranet in the country all the time. ”
Since I came to the UAE, I haven't used Facebook much, at most I just use Skype and QQ to chat. After hearing this, I didn't think much about it, and poured myself a drink.
