Chapter 55 (II): Dusty Memory
106 The visit that Caiyue can't forget
"I'm sorry. Cai Yue's heart welled up with a wave of guilt.
Rewind time to a very youthful time. That year, Caiyue and Xiuxiang were only in the first grade of junior high school. That was also the only real communication with Xiuxiang's mother in Caiyue's impression, and it was also the most normal and kind of Xiuxiang's mother.
She went to Xiuxiang's house to play on a whim and didn't tell Xiuxiang, because since she was in elementary school, she has been estranged from Xiuxiang. However, this estrangement did not last long, and was dissolved by an incident that happened later. Caiyue had the idea of getting close to Xiuxiang when Caiyue saw Xiuxiang's thin calves. For some reason, at that time, she had a strange desire to protect her heart for some reason.
During the first winter vacation of junior high school, Cai Yue went to Xiuxiang's house to visit the door, and Cai Yue found a place with her father's guidance, "Haven't you been there many times when you were a child." Dad's voice came from the receiver of the mobile phone, "I haven't moved, did I tell you to move around a lot?" "These noises make Caiyue uncomfortable.
"That's all a childhood thing, who can remember?" Cai Yue replied.
Xiuxiang remembers, the first time I went to see him, and the second time I saw her, she called me Uncle Qin, and recited the three-character scripture to me, I gave her a big red envelope, and she said that it was useless to say anything with the red envelope, and I will never forget what you want to say about such a young child, but I heard that it was all stolen from my parents. Dad gushed.
"Alright, alright. Cai Yue hung up the phone, and she finally knew why she didn't like to come here to play, because her father always told Xiuxiang how "good, how cute, how smart, and how amazing", and she would only ask for dolls and good food.
Cai Yue didn't hate Xiuxiang at that time, but she just hated what her father always said. That time, Xiuxiang was not at home, and Caiyue only saw Han's mother, who was surprised to entertain Caiyue and gave her those key notebooks.
"You've come just in time, it's been a long time. Han's mother said politely and took out a lot of delicious things.
"Auntie, where is Xiuxiang going?" Caiyue asked, looking at a few things she hadn't eaten.
"Went to the hospital. Mother Han said lightly, without any expression.
"Does she have a cold?" asked Caiyue, eating the biscuits on the table.
"No, she's actually sick, you probably don't know, she's not been doing well lately. Mother Han said, looking into Cai Yue's eyes.
Caiyue felt that it was an aggressive momentum, and she didn't know what to say.
"What kind of illness is it, Auntie, is it serious?" Cai Yue asked.
"Temporary amnesia. Han's mother said word by word, "You may not understand very well, but there are some things you don't remember for the time being, but don't worry, she should still remember you." Aunt Han said with a smile.
Cai Yue did not speak.
"You wait here for a while, I guess they will be back in about 20 minutes, his dad took her to the doctor, and now she has to go to the hospital once a month for a check-up, and then once a quarter to see if she can recover. With that, the aunt opened Xiuxiang's room. Cai Yue couldn't speak, she didn't know what to say for a while, she was still so young, thinking about these words, what did they mean? Her head was a little dizzy and confused, she saw Han's mother packing up Xiuxiang's things, she was thinking why she wanted to touch Xiuxiang's things?
Han's mother was rummaging for something, forgetting the existence of Cai Yue, and the TV in the house was only turned on with a small sound, playing an ancient TV series that Cai Yue had not seen too much.
Cai Yue lost her courage for a while, she wanted to ask what was going on, but she didn't know how to ask, she had never heard anyone say anything about it, and her parents didn't know about it, did Cai Yue know it alone first?
When she finally wanted to muster up her courage, Han's mother happened to come out of the room and hugged 4 or 5 books, which seemed to be Xiuxiang's diary.
There seemed to be a lock on it, but Caiyue's mother brought a pair of iron scissors for the moment Caiyue was stunned - Caiyue smelled the smell of danger, and saw Aunt Han neatly clip off the fragile small locks one by one, Caiyue felt that those locks were so weak and useless for the first time. I don't want to buy this kind of thing again next time.
"Auntie, what are you doing?" Caiyue asked in a low voice.
"Nothing. After the aunt focused on clipping all the locks, she looked at Caiyue with very serious eyes, "You see, these books, you should have guessed what they are, do you also have such a small book? These are the diaries written by Xiuxiang." ”
"But Auntie, you. Caiyue can't go on, she is not very familiar with Han's mother, and she has not had much contact with Xiuxiang for a few years, and she is not confident enough to say anything now, and although she looks arrogant, she is actually a person who is not very courageous, Han's mother gives people a sense of depression, so that she always dare not say what is in her heart.
If it was Han's father, she would dare to ask.
"That's not right!" Cai Yue shouted in her heart.
Mother Han began to scroll through the diary, shaking her head and sighing while reading, she seemed to look down on these things, Caiyue wanted to interject and hug Xiuxiang upset, she was already good to be able to write such a diary, but her diary had never been written seriously. Why did Hideka's diary make her mother dislike it so much? Even moms can't read diaries. Cai Yue is glad that her mother will never look at it, her mother is so cute. I've always been very spoiled by myself.
"Can you do Auntie a favor?" said Han's mother as she flipped through her diary.
Cai Yue nodded vigorously.
"These diaries are not a strange thing. You've written about that too, haven't you?"
Cai Yue nodded vigorously.
"Look, you're nodding, kids your age have to keep a diary. ”
Cai Yue didn't know what to say, but nodded vigorously.
