Chapter 177: The Budding Heart
Zhou said.
The sun is shining.
Even the light that shines through the glass in the afternoon in the coffee shop is an almost sickly white.
At this time, there were not many guests in this café, Xia Ruxuan sat in a window position, pursing his lips and looking out of the window without saying a word, Liu Yi sat not far away, sitting in the bright sun and looking at something. His expression was sometimes frowning, sometimes relaxed, Xia Ruxuan looked at Liu Yi a little distracted, but he was thinking about some other things in his mind.
This is the last day before leaving southern Jiangsu, and in a few days, Xia Ruxuan will usher in the biggest and most critical turn since his rebirth.
Xia Ruxuan tossed and turned all night, Xia Yunbai's solemn expression at that moment had been projecting back and forth in Xia Ruxuan's mind, Xia Ruxuan suddenly understood that he was just a drop in the ocean in the torrent of history, even if he was trying to change himself, trying to change everything around him, for this moment, he still had no way to stop the general trend.
He had never expected himself to become stronger as he had at this moment, but it wasn't something that could be done overnight. With all the information he knew in his mind, tangled up like a mess, Xia Ruxuan wondered what he could do - no matter what, at this moment, he couldn't do anything but sit here quietly and waste time. This feeling made Xia Ruxuan feel a little impatient.
This state of affairs made him very depressed, and he was now wishing that something could suddenly pop up in his mind that could turn things around, and then everything would be safe, and he could be relieved to start a new journey. For example, you can do an interesting thing like traveling around the world with a very small amount of money, but appreciating the customs of various countries. It's a pity he can't.
Liu Yi, who was shrouded in the bright sun, seemed to feel Xia Ruxuan's gaze projected on her, and suddenly raised her head to look over. Xia Ruxuan's calm eyes like a lake made a look at Liu Yi like this.
At this moment, Liu Yi's face, which was still almost perfect when it was illuminated by the light, was imprinted into Xia Ruxuan's pupils like this, and there was a second of sluggishness, and then Liu Yi suddenly smiled. This smile was so beautiful in the sun, which formed an extremely sharp contrast with the gloom and haze in Xia Ruxuan's heart during this time.
Not every girl has the courage to expose herself to the bright light without makeup, because the sun will cruelly magnify any flaws on a person's face infinitely, and it will make people have a kind of original form like nowhere to hide, Xia Ruxuan, a woman who looks perfect under the gorgeous makeup, has seen a lot, Xia Ruxuan has never even seen most of them without makeup.
So it's a cruel thing when you put no makeup and sunshine together. But on the other hand, the sun will also show all the beauty to the fullest. For example, at this moment, Liu Yi had a faint smile.
It is difficult to describe how Xia Ruxuan felt at the moment, just after these few seconds of staring at each other, Liu Yi continued to lower her head to look at the information in her hand, and Xia Ruxuan's nervousness actually began to disintegrate after this. Let his mood gradually calm down.
The expression on Liu Yi's face was very quiet, Xia Ruxuan knew that she was looking at some information about the debate competition, and she was going to participate in the English debate competition. Xia Ruxuan was suddenly very glad that there were such beautiful things in this world - debate competitions, singer competitions, and the unrestrained youth of college. Xia Ruxuan, who thought of all this with this attitude, suddenly felt a little like laughing, compared to these young people, he was really a little old. There are too many things to worry about, too many things to worry about, and too many burdens to carry.
Xia Ruxuan felt that Xia Yunbai was right, the first thing he should think about now was to do what he should do well, and being ambitious was not a good thing for him at this stage. He really has some unfounded worries.
I remember what happened eight years later. Even in the past six months now, Xia Ruxuan feels as if he has been stretched countless times slowly, it is a difficult thing to replace himself many years ago, and it is not a good thing to watch what happened in the past happen again - fortunately, everything is on a completely different track now.
He has entered a world higher than he once was, and he should not ignore those things that are advantageous. For example, Suhang Electric Appliances, controlled by Xia Yunsong, has spread advertisements to the entire southern Jiangsu City. December, Thanksgiving Month. All kinds of preferential activities, promotional activities, merchant gift packages, etc., etc., etc., as well as the publicity effect of Huamei's entry into southern Jiangsu was suppressed to a minimum, as if Huamei made everyone pay attention to the home appliance market, but it was a wedding dress for the promotion month of Suhang Electric.
This is an impact that can be seen, and there are things that Xia Ruxuan can't see in a short period of time. As Xia Yunbai said, the only way for the Xia family now is to move forward without retreating, covering all aspects of southern Jiangsu and even Suhe Province, so that the effect of wanting to make such a family collapse is amazing. Whoever is in the dark and doesn't know if he or she doesn't know what to do, he must think twice.
Xia Ruxuan believed that he could help the Xia clan to another glory that he had not gone to in his previous life. He figured it out.
"Any questions?" Liu Yi was worried about the large number of unfamiliar words in these materials, which made her look a little struggling. The warm light that sprinkled on himself was suddenly blocked by a figure. Turning his head, he saw Xia Ruxuan's soft and well-defined face.
"It's just that some words are unfamiliar, and now I don't have a dictionary at hand." Liu Yi sighed helplessly, it was indeed a bit difficult to participate in such a school-level English competition in her freshman year, and after speaking, she lowered her head and continued to stare at the word she didn't know in a daze.
The word means approval, condolence, or sympathy. Placed in this sentence, the words explained...... "The calm voice of the man in the ear is extremely powerful," should be taken as a resonance. The whole sentence is that you have to have a strong stance and attitude, and you have to find a way to resonate with other people. ”
Liu Yi raised her head in surprise and looked at Xia Ruxuan, "Didn't you study computers?" ”
"But I still know ......more about English," Xia Ruxuan smiled and blinked, and pointed to the following lines of Liu Yihua lined, "Actually, this sentence is not difficult to understand, that is, you change your way of thinking, after all, the grammatical structure and way of thinking of English and Chinese are different......"
Liu Yi lowered her head and looked at the information for a long time before she realized that she was distracted, and raised her head a little embarrassed, "I didn't understand it just now, can you say it again?" ”
"These words are all special eight words, and it's nothing if you don't know them. Just look it up in a dictionary. Xia Ruxuan laughed and looked at the girl who was blushing, and then explained the meaning of some sentences and words to her in a low voice.
This scene is particularly simple and beautiful at this moment—in the café, tall and straight boys standing in the sun, and soft girls sitting in their seats listening attentively. It's like a fragrant flower that gives people that beautiful memories in their hearts.
Xia Ruxuan...... You're always so surprised, aren't you? Until the end, Liu Yi raised her head and looked at Xia Ruxuan, with an extremely gentle and faint admiration in her eyes.
"Really?" Xia Ruxuan touched the back of his head and laughed loudly.
"Hmm!" There was some emotion in Liu Yi's smile that was difficult to capture, "You know, I wonder why you are so good before, but you were so low-key that people didn't notice it before." But after getting to know you, I realized that compared to you, a girl like me who only knows how to be stupid and pays attention to scores is simply ridiculous. ”
"The purpose of my existence is not to let others notice," Xia Ruxuan looked at Liu Yi, and his expression gradually calmed down.
Liu Yi didn't know if it was her own illusion or what, but for the first time, she caught the obvious tenderness in Xia Ruxuan's expression, "It doesn't matter if other people know me or not, as long as you know." In contrast, even the envy of tens of millions of people is not as good as your appreciation alone. ”
At that moment, Liu Yi's heart was suddenly touched by something, such a bland sentence like emotion. But Liu Yi heard a kind of vicissitudes and sighs. It actually made her heart ache for a while. But why...... Why is such a simple dialogue giving Liu Yi the illusion that time has passed.
"I'm here today to say goodbye to you." Liu Yi hadn't figured this out yet, Xia Ruxuan stood up straight and suddenly spoke.
"Huh?!" Liu Yi raised her head suddenly, "Where are you going?" ”
She saw the calm on Xia Ruxuan's face all year round, but there was panic and uneasiness in her heart that even she had never thought of.
It was only at this moment that she seemed to suddenly understand that she had become accustomed to this slightly silent, clean-looking, plain boy who pushed the door into the café one afternoon and smiled gently at her. Even if there is really no dialogue sometimes, seeing his quiet appearance in the busy interval will make Liu Yi feel at ease.
So although sometimes I want to give up my part-time job here because of trouble, I will persist until now because Xia Ruxuan comes every week. However, after hearing his words that made his heart tremble violently a moment ago, what she got was, "Actually, I want you to say goodbye", but it made her heart, which had never had any waves, suddenly hurt.
It was like her heart was spasming, and it almost hurt for a moment to make her burst into tears.
For a long time, Liu Yi had been whispering to one of her own questions, and suddenly there was an answer at this moment.
She really, really likes this boy who appears next to her, doesn't talk much, doesn't smile much, and doesn't even spend much time with her, but it's the most real and warm existence.
Liu Yi suddenly had a hard time telling when this love affair began. She gave herself a lot of reasons to leave, and she knew that such a boy would be so good that it would be dazzling. But she still couldn't let herself go, because from a very early age, she liked this man.
Was it half a year ago when he pulled himself to the point of being almost unreasonable at night, was it the day before the college entrance examination when he gently hugged him and smelled the scent of soap, or ...... Liu Yi really can't remember clearly.
For the first time in Liu Yi's heart, she was lost for the departure of a boy. All of a sudden, the sunlight loses its temperature. There are countless villains in their hearts who are holding flags and moving forward in an orderly manner, and the one who walks in the front thrust the flag into the soft heart, and the flag has Xia Ruxuan's name written on it, and then the villain clapped his hands - haha, finally occupied.
It's just that all of a sudden it doesn't seem to make sense. He's leaving, isn't he?
