In this way, Xia Qixi's idea of wanting to lose weight was vetoed by Chen Ziyu with an absolute vote.
I don't know if it's because this year's summer is particularly hot, and autumn is relatively early. Before late autumn, the weather is already very cold, and the leaves on the trees are gradually turning yellow and falling under the urging of the autumn wind. The radio station in the car was playing Jay Chou's "Seven Miles of Fragrance".
"The taste of saury, the cat and you want to know...... The fragrance of first love is thus found by us. ”
Xia Qixi leaned her head on the back of the chair, looked sideways at the trees and the blue sky that kept flashing outside the car window, the air seemed to exude the aroma of strawberries, and the sweet and greasy taste inhaled into the nasal cavity, full of happiness.
I remember when I used to go to college outside, it was the way to go. Every time she sat on the edge of the bed alone, staring blankly at everything familiar and unfamiliar. At that time, I was most curious about what the future would look like, and every time I thought about it, I was full of hope and fear. I hope that my future can be smooth sailing, and I am afraid that the future will not be what I think it is.
At this moment, is it the self who once fantasized about living in the future world who is walking on this road?
"Before I met you, I even suspected that I might have to live alone for the rest of my life, and I tried my best to do nothing in the end, always worried about work and life, and I wouldn't be tempted by anyone, because I had no money, so I would be desolate and lonely in my old age. ”
Chen Ziyu lowered the voice of the radio station a little, the song just now had been sung, and now it was a noisy one, and he couldn't hear what he was singing at all.
"When I was young, my life was very hard, after my father and mother got married, the economic conditions were very poor, my grandparents were patriarchal, after I was born, my mother had no breast milk, and no money to buy milk powder, so I could only drink rice soup every day, so my health was very bad. Later, when I went to elementary school, the family conditions still did not improve much, and my father began to go out drinking with friends often at that time, and every time he came back drunk, I was often awakened in my sleep by the sound of their noise and falling things, and then curled up in the corner alone and cried, begging them not to make noise. This state lasted until I graduated from high school. ”
……
Xia Qixi kept talking like this, looking straight ahead, softening his painful experience into the early autumn wind.
"When I was about to graduate from college, their relationship really began to improve, and they had a warm family. Although they have always loved me, I don't know if it has been affected, I have never had much faith in love and family, and I am afraid of living in quarrels all day long like them. After a long time, a heart is as if it is dead, and it can't stir up any waves. ”
As she spoke, Xia Qixi suddenly stopped, blushing and muttering, "I shouldn't have told you this." ”
"Thank you for sharing your past with me. Chen Ziyu was driving and had no way to give her a hug, so she could only grab her slightly cool fingers, put them to her mouth, and kiss them gently.
Xia Qixi did grow up strong in this kind of pain, so she matured earlier than other children. The years at her grandmother's house were her happiest times. In addition to her grandmother's affection for her, the most important thing is not to hear the never-ending quarrels between her parents from time to time, she would rather shield them from her life in this way, although only for a short time. Later, she was taken to her parents to study in elementary school, and every time the school collected tuition, the family always had a dispute over money, and the most common word she heard was "borrowing", and she was really tired of this word from the bottom of her heart.
She took the money she borrowed from her neighbor's house to pay for her tuition, and she always felt that everyone would point fingers at her behind her back. When the school organized the movie, the other students all brought pocket money to buy snacks, but she was the only one holding her small lunch box, afraid of being discovered by others, and she didn't even dare to shed tears.
Perhaps, it was from that time that her strong self-esteem did not allow anyone to trample on.
"When I was in high school, I liked a boy. ”
Chen Ziyu's hand holding the steering wheel suddenly tightened, and from her mouth, he heard for the first time that untold story.
He wasn't tall, but he played basketball well and was the athletic committee member of his class. Xia Qixi didn't know his name, and he didn't even know anything about him, just because he saw his slightly sad eyes in the crowd once, and he kept this boy in his heart from then on. He has a lot of blue clothes and plays basketball with a group of boys in the playground before morning self-study. She couldn't tell the brand of his clothes and sneakers, she only knew that each one was expensive.
She secretly wrote this love in her diary, day after day, like guarding a treasure.
Cry for him, laugh for him, but he doesn't know it once.
Every well-calculated encounter seemed to him to be nothing more than ordinary.
Xia Qixi's love is too humble, her self-esteem is too strong, and she has always felt that she is a clown-like existence in her high school life, until she graduates, this relationship did not start, and it ended without a problem.
She had never mentioned it to anyone, but today she spread it out and put it in front of Chen Ziyu.
"There is a sentence that I have been thinking about for a long time, I only ask this time, and I will not ask in the future...... Are you still willing to marry me?" Chen Ziyu's words were extra calm, and the entanglements of the past few days disappeared in this instant.
"If I had to fall in love with someone, it would have to be you. If I had to marry someone, it would only be you. I will spend the rest of my life staying by your side as an answer to your question today. ”
……
Chen Ziyu's mother really prepared a large table of dishes, all of which Xia Qixi likes to eat. From the moment she entered the door, she never said anything about the past, and her attitude was still the same as before, amiable and loving like her own children.
After eating, Xia Qixi wanted to help wash it, but Chen Ziyu refused: "The wound on your hand is not healed yet, and you can't touch the water for a long time." With that, he pressed her down on the couch and went into the kitchen by himself.
There are only two people left in the living room, Xia Qixi and Chen's father, the news is being broadcast on the TV, and Chen Ziyu rolls up his sleeves and starts washing dishes in the kitchen.
"What's wrong with Xiaoxi's hand?" asked Chen's mother, who was cutting fruit on the side, to her son.
"In order to help you make a fan, it was scratched by bamboo. ”
Xia Qixi has already agreed with Chen Ziyu not to tell her about making a fan. Her efforts were simply nothing, and in the end it was all Chen Ziyu's credit. Chen Ziyu also nodded and agreed at that time.
He just didn't want Xia Qixi to feel wronged in his own home.
The previous thing was not her fault alone.
"The two of us don't plan to have children after we get married, I hope you and Dad can understand. ”
Mother Chen's hand holding the fruit knife stopped in mid-air, and it took a while for a while to fall anew: "You can do your own things, and don't tell me and your father, the two of us can't manage so much when we are old, and you still have to live by yourself in the future." ”
Her son was a piece of flesh that fell from her body, and how could she, as a mother, not know what he thought. Helplessly, this is the fate of Chen Ziyu and Xia Qixi. Now, as long as I can watch the two of them happily together, it is the greatest comfort for the two old men. Chen Ziyu is vividly remembered for the decadent years of Xia Qixi, and they will always wake up in the middle of the night.
Now this may be the best arrangement.
