Chapter 55: I Love You
Time passes in a hurry, the pre-sale of personal training is in full swing, the progress is gratifying, the first month is coming to an end, the performance of the first team of personal training has been more than half, the whole team is smiling, walking with the wind, tiger and tiger.
At present, the gym only focuses on performance, as long as the performance is good, not to mention being late and leaving early, you just don't go to work, and the store manager and boss also want to offer you this Buddha! Ji Ke took advantage of the opportunity to ask for leave and go home with Li Jiang, it was not too easy.
Taking a leave of absence the day before May 20 made everyone in the gym full of envy for their relationship.
Look at people, not too much, not more than the New Year, just rush the date to have a good color, without hesitation to give yourself a holiday, enjoy the sweet world of two, this wave of dog food is caught off guard.
Ji Ke took Li Jiang on the long-distance bus home, and the whole person was no longer smiling in the gym, showing a wordless loneliness, and his eyes revealed a blankness that made Li Jiang's heart ache.
Ji Ke clutched the ID card in his pocket, and the number on it showed that he was just 18 this year, and at this time last year, he was still a student immersed in beautiful reveries and enjoying the colorful campus life.
He remembers that day in the warm morning light and breeze, he sat on the south side of the classroom, near the window, enjoying the sunlight behind him and the warmth on his back, listening to the Chinese teacher's chatter on the podium.
He remembered that his uncle-in-law, a man who was not tall and about the same age as his father, had rudely pushed open the teacher's door at that time, and after whispering a few times with the Chinese teacher, he had not even had time to ask for leave, so he hurried into the car home;
He remembered that when the car stopped at the entrance of the alley in front of his house, where he had not been back for five or six years, his legs were weak, and it was his uncle-in-law who carried him step by step into the dilapidated courtyard;
He remembered that his uncle was sitting at the gate of the courtyard with red eyes and tears, and his mind was blank when he watched him come and staggered to his feet;
He remembered that when he saw the coffin in the main room, he felt that the sun was dim and the hot air was cold;
He remembered that he squatted in the doorway, lit a cigarette for the first time in his life, and watched it burn quietly, and then pressed it to the ground and twisted it;
He remembered that day, he wanted to cry without tears, howled, lost his mind, carried the coffin and buried his father in front of his parents' grave;
He remembers that day, his mother was heartbroken, cried and fainted several times;
He remembered that day, the whole village and his family were crowded in the courtyard of his house, feeling sorry for his father and pity him and his mother;
From that day on, he was no longer lively and cheerful, no longer talking and laughing;
From that day on, he had been thinking about how to live with his mother like his father had done when he was fifteen or sixteen years old with his younger siblings;
He can't forget that last winter, when the goose feathers were snowing heavily, he wanted to persuade his mother and his uncle to take tens of thousands of yuan and step on the train to the north without looking back;
He can't forget the tears in the eyes of his mother, who carries dozens of kilograms of flour bags all day long, when he came home this year and told his mother that he had found a job, and he knew that they were tears of joy for his son growing up;
"Okay, don't cry, it's such an adult, everyone in the car is watching. Li Jiang gently wiped away the tears on Ji Ke's face and whispered with relief.
She hadn't experienced the heartbreak of the loss of a loved one, but she also knew that the wound would not heal easily, and time could only bury it, but the pain would not dissipate.
"You know, I always thought that my relationship with my dad was not very deep," Ji Ke's body shook as the bus moved, "In my memory, he almost never spoke to me,"
"He'd laugh at anyone, the kind with his head up, no matter who the other person was, but he never smiled at me,,, never ,,,"
"What left the deepest impression on me was that when he was a child, he and my mother beat me together, it was the first and only time he hit me, my mother beat me many times, I don't remember, but the time he beat me, I will never forget it in my life,"
"He never talked to me, only that time, because I was expelled from school because I climbed over the wall, he was drunk at my uncle's house, I helped him home, he cried all the way, I knew that he didn't actually care about me, but buried it in his heart. ”
"That day, I remember that it was raining at home, and I inexplicably took the initiative to call him, and he was nibbling on steamed buns and eating vegetables at the other end, telling me to go to school and listen to my mother, and then he had an accident the next day. ”
Ji Ke buried his head in Li Jiang's arms, sobbing in a low voice, unable to cry.
Li Jiang couldn't stop patting his back, like coaxing a child, comforting Ji Ke;
She didn't know if the relationship between Ji Ke and his father was not very deep as Ji Ke said, but she clearly felt that after a year, Ji Ke actually did not come out of the grief of that day.
She was very glad that she learned about Ji Ke's unknown fragile side, which made her understand what it was like to "have tears and not flick, but they haven't reached the sad place";
She also saw from Ji Ke how those who endured grief were strong and resilient to live;
Ji Ke's sobbing voice gradually disappeared, Li Jiang straightened him and lay him down, looking at the handsome face with blurred tears, Li Jiang took out a tissue and wiped it gently, as carefully as wiping a fragile piece of porcelain.
Looking at the scenery flashing outside the window, Li Jiang was not only loving Ji Ke's pain in his heart, but also thinking about the direction of his relationship with Ji Ke.
Ji Ke's excellence is beyond doubt, this month, he has fully proven himself, not surprisingly, after the pre-sale of personal training, the position of personal training manager will fall on his shoulders nine times out of ten!
What a dazzling title, when the time comes, Ji Ke, who is not in the sales line, will have more time to communicate with members, contact feelings, and expand contacts;
More than half of the gym members are women (Note 1), and Ji Ke, who has a lot of time, will he still treat himself wholeheartedly like he does now?
How credible a man's vows are, and countless cases of extramarital affairs are enough to tell the story;
He is two or three years older than him, and women age quickly, and there are not too many female temptations faced by the personal training profession!
In a few years, in the face of those young and beautiful members, can the potential stocks around them who are in the rising period of figure, appearance, and wealth really maintain their original intentions and never forget their original intentions?
Alas, Li Jiang tilted his head, looked at Ji Ke's side face, sighed, and then sat up straight, closed his eyes and recuperated, and no longer paid attention to these future troubles.
