Zhong Youcheng didn't chase Li Xiaoxue far, his knee joint seemed to be twisted, and with the pain of drilling, he leaned on the wall next to him and fell down.

Li Xiaoxue heard the sound of someone falling behind her, looked back, and saw that Zhong Youcheng was already half-lying on the ground, sighed "Hi", stomped her feet again, turned back, and helped Zhong Youcheng up.

"Xiaoxue, you, what are you running?" After Zhong Youcheng helped Li Xiaoxue up, he asked puzzledly.

Li Xiaoxue didn't know how to answer, so she only lowered her head and helped Zhong Youcheng to the elevator.

Zhong Youcheng saw Li Xiaoxue bowing his head and was silent, and then asked, "Xiaoxue, what's wrong with my aunt?" How could you be so angry? It's like, it's still at me. ”

Li Xiaoxue really wanted to hold it in her heart for two days, and Li's mother asked them not to talk to each other again, but she opened her mouth for a long time, but she only blamed Zhong Youcheng: "It's not good yet, what are you doing here?" The gauze was also removed. ”

Zhong Youcheng smiled nonchalantly and said, "I wanted to surprise you." Xiaoxue, do you know, last night, I wanted to call and tell you about my paintings, but after thinking about it, I still thought it would be better to surprise you first. My little injury really doesn't matter. I've been lying down for two days, and I don't feel in the way at all. ”

"Your money, is it really you earned from selling paintings?" Li Xiaoxue asked uneasily.

Zhong Youcheng's face suddenly became gloomy, and he pushed Li Xiaoxue to the side and said, "Xiaoxue, why don't you believe me?" I finally sold a painting, I finally had some money, and I was thinking about looking for you to celebrate, why, as if I had lost all my money? Could it be that I, Zhong Youcheng, should be poor all my life? I make money selling paintings, and it's also the income of my labor, what's wrong? ”

Li Xiaoxue couldn't help but feel guilty: "I'm sorry, I, I just felt too surprised." ”

"Accident?" Zhong Youcheng looked bitter again, "You think it's too easy for me to earn 5,000 yuan, don't you?" Just a sketch! Do you think the same way she does? Do you know how such a sketch came about? It's not just a few strokes you see, it's the artistic accumulation of tens of thousands of days and nights of my Zhong Youcheng! As the saying goes, one minute on stage, ten years off the stage. I've been sweating for more than a decade, am I easy? I just think it's too late! I, Zhong Youcheng, should have obtained these a long time ago, and I, Zhong Youcheng, should have succeeded a long time ago! Of course, Xiaoxue, do you know, I don't want you to see my hope, and I, Zhong Youcheng, will never sell a sketch. Xiaoxue, I really want to prove it to you. Why, do you have such an attitude? ”

Li Xiaoxue blamed herself more and more, and said: "I'm sorry, Zhong Youcheng, I really don't understand this aspect of things." It's just that I understand your dedication, and it's not too much to get any results. ”

Zhong Youcheng nodded, and his anger disappeared a little: "Xiaoxue, this is just the beginning." Next, I will redouble my efforts to earn more money so that you can live a happy life. ”

Li Xiaoxue's heart couldn't help but feel warm again, but it was only an instant, Li Mu's stern expression appeared in front of her again, her heart ached, and her face sank.

Zhong Youcheng, who thought that his words were enough to move his beloved woman, saw that Li Xiaoxue still looked unhappy, and asked: "Xiaoxue, don't you believe my words?" ”

When Li Xiaoxue had no choice but to nod, she and Zhong Youcheng were already standing in front of the elevator door.

The elevator was going down, Li Xiaoxue pressed the button, and suddenly felt that the side of the elevator door that was about to open on both sides was like another world.

The elevator doors quickly opened, and there was no one inside.

Zhong Youcheng took a step forward first, and Li Xiaoxue, who was still holding Zhong Youcheng's arm, hesitated.

"What for?" Zhong Youcheng couldn't help but ask Li Xiaoxue.

Li Xiaoxue seemed to have stepped back again, and her head drooped even more.

"What's wrong?" Zhong Youcheng asked inexplicably again.

"Or," Li Xiaoxue said with her head bowed, her voice like she was squeezing out of her throat, "You go first." ”

"Me?" Zhong Youcheng became even more confused, "Xiaoxue, I came today just to go out with you and pick out a dress for you and my aunt." You let me go first, where do I go by myself? ”

Li Xiaoxue shook her head and only said, "You finally sold a painting, and with a little money, you still ......"

Zhong Youcheng was unhappy again: "Xiaoxue, this money, in your opinion, may not be much, but after all, this is the first time I have earned it by relying on my talent." I just want to share the joy with you, why, can't I? ”

Li Xiaoxue raised her head and hurriedly explained: "You can have today's results, I'm really happy for you, it's just ......"

Zhong Youcheng didn't let Li Xiaoxue just go down: "Xiaoxue, since you are happy, just celebrate with me." You've been spending a lot of money on me all the time, and I should say that anyway, I should say that. ”

Li Xiaoxue still shook her head, but her body asked Zhong Youcheng to struggle in the elevator.

Li Xiaoxue opened her mouth and excused herself twice, shook her body, and followed Zhong Youcheng into the elevator.

Zhong Youcheng closed the elevator door with his hand and pressed it to the bottom floor.

The moment the elevator started down, Li Xiaoxue felt that her eyes flickered again, and her heart suddenly felt sour, as if she had cut off everything she had been.

The elevator quickly went down to the first floor, and when the door opened again, Li Xiaoxue's eyes were all unfamiliar.

Zhong Youcheng was about to go out again, and found that Li Xiaoxue was stunned again, and couldn't help frowning, and said, "Xiaoxue, why are you so soulless?" ”

"Yes, yes?" Li Xiaoxue said in her mouth, raised her hand and touched her cheek again, feeling a little hot.

Zhong Youcheng nodded, and his eyes were only staring at Li Xiaoxue's flushed face.

Li Xiaoxue felt that Zhong Youcheng's eyes were shining on her like a hot light bulb, and she became more and more embarrassed, hurriedly flashed her face to the side, helped Zhong Youcheng, and walked out of the elevator in broken steps.

Zhong Youcheng kept looking at Li Xiaoxue, walked out of the door of the hospital, and a trace of wind with rain and stars blew on his body, and he couldn't help but say: "Wow, it's such a cool wind!" ”

Li Xiaoxue asked Zhong Youcheng to say this, and also fought a cold war.

Zhong Youcheng hugged Li Xiaoxue's arm tighter and said, "Do you want to put my clothes on?" ”

Li Xiaoxue hurriedly shook her head, feeling a little comfortable in her heart.

Zhong Youcheng didn't force it, and sincerely said to Li Xiaoxue: "Autumn is here again." ”

Li Xiaoxue didn't expect Zhong Youcheng to sigh like this, and only nodded lightly.

Zhong Youcheng smiled happily at Li Xiaoxue again, and then asked, "Xiaoxue, what season do you like the most?" ”

Li Xiaoxue really didn't seem to have thought about this, smiled slightly, and shook her head twice.

"If you don't say it, I know it." Zhong Youcheng said with some conceit.

Li Xiaoxue couldn't help but laugh out loud: "I don't even know it myself, how can you know?" ”

Zhong Youcheng smiled mysteriously before saying, "You must like winter." ”

Li Xiaoxue knew why Zhong Youcheng said this, so she smiled and shook her head again.

"Guess what's my favorite season?" Zhong Youcheng asked, as if this was what he really wanted to express to Li Xiaoxue.

Li Xiaoxue raised her eyes and looked at Zhong Youcheng, but just shook her head.

"I," Zhong Youcheng said, slowly, looking at the sky, "My favorite is this autumn." ”

"Harvest season, huh?" Li Xiaoxue asked.

Zhong Youcheng shook his head slowly: "No, it's not. The reason why I love autumn is because of the piano song "Autumn Whispers" that I listened to when I was in school. ”

Li Xiaoxue interjected softly: "I've heard it too." ”

Zhong Youcheng continued: "I was only eleven or twelve years old at that time. At the home of a classmate, I heard this tune. I didn't know its name at the time, but I had the feeling that I was walking alone on an autumn forest path, stepping on the rustle of golden leaves, and my heart fluttering gently in the slight wind. I was completely intoxicated by the beautiful sound of the piano. My classmates' parents even said I was like a little adult. If I'm not afraid of your jokes, I felt that "Autumn Whispers" had become a part of my life, and I wanted to take my fellow students' radios and tapes for myself. However, other people's is other people's, let me salivate, people will not pay attention to it at all. After that, I begged my grandmother a few times, and my grandmother's reply always asked me to make money in the future and buy it myself. I was so young that I waited until I earned my own money, and I thought I would have waited like crazy. I can't make money, what should I do? I eventually came up with a solution that makes me feel guilty about my grandmother to this day. I began to tease my grandmother, today I said that the school would buy a book, tomorrow said that the school would order review questions, and from time to time, I also told my grandmother that the school would have activities, and if I didn't go home at noon, I would buy and eat by myself. Actually, I was able to save all this money secretly. After more than two months of work, I finally bought a Walkman and a cassette tape with "Autumn Whispers", and lied to my grandmother that I picked it up. Since then, I have listened to this piano piece over and over again, and I don't know how many times I have listened to this piano piece. ”
