Chapter Thirty-Nine: A Bloody Past
"For me in the situation at that time, the so-called angel incarnation is what you look like."
"You smiled at me and asked me why I was in the well and if I was beaten by an adult, so you ran here to hide...... At that time, you didn't understand anything, but you just asked me a lot of nonsense according to your reasons...... At that time, I was afraid, hungry, and tired, and I was really exhausted, I didn't know whether to believe you or not, but I finally chose to believe you, and I asked you to save me...... Please save me...... Do you seem to understand...... In the end, I nodded and agreed, saying that I would find someone to save me...... When you left, you even threw two buns to me...... You know, Ruirui, what did that mean to me in that situation? ”
Speaking of this, he was excited and hugged Huang Ruirui tightly: "You gave me hope, those two buns also support me to live, so that I can survive until I am rescued." Ruirui, I've always been grateful and grateful for your ......."
"At that time, I swore that if I lived, I would repay you well and give you all my things...... Sure enough, I was successfully rescued by the police......"
When Huang Ruirui heard this, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Huo Jingwei was standing in front of her peacefully, but she could hear the mention of the past, mentioning that he was rescued by the police, just like a suspenseful story, hearing the result.
"That's good, it's good to be rescued......" she said softly, and at last, she remembered that it seemed to be related to herself: "But why don't I remember these things?" Are you sure it's me? ”
She really can't remember the hours she did to do such a thing.
"After all, more than ten years have passed, and you were still young at the time, for you, it was just a small matter the size of a sesame mung bean, and it was normal to remember...... And I, in that kind of environment, will never forget it, and naturally I will always remember it......"
Huo Jingwei said this, clenched his fists, the encounter at that time was really unforgettable, and he still has claustrophobia, and he is afraid of being alone with others when he takes the elevator, this is the psychological trauma left at that time, although he also sought help from a psychiatrist in many ways, which can be alleviated, but in those spaces, he is always afraid.
"I was admitted to the hospital, and after a while of treatment, I recovered...... The first thing I did after the restoration was to come to you, and I wanted to repay you well...... However, here, when I ask people about you, they all say that you just moved away, where did you move to...... No one knows......"
Speaking of this stubble, Huang Ruirui remembered that Huang Conggui lost his gambling money, and even mortgaged his ancestral house to others, and he and his grandmother were bombed away overnight.
She somewhat believed Huo Jingwei's words, perhaps, really at that time, the two had met by chance, but she couldn't understand how Huo Jingwei could recognize herself at a glance after so many years, and what was about Meiling.
But she didn't ask, she believed that Huo Jingwei would give her a perfect explanation for these things.
"After that series of events, I was kidnapped, watched my mother die tragically, and fled...... My psychological trauma is really huge, and no matter how much the psychiatrist treats me, I can't recover well...... I became withdrawn, depressed, and even a little resistant to the outside world, and I didn't even have a friend...... I like to hide in the study and draw, and I also like to sketch your original appearance on paper, although a few strokes, just sketch your smile, outline your little tiger teeth...... But I could feel that I had never been at peace before, and it seemed that with this pure and friendly smile like an angel, I was not so withdrawn and melancholy. ”
"Since then, your appearance has been deeply engraved in my mind, and it has been so many years...... You've grown up and changed so much, but I'm just with your smile and your little tiger teeth...... I can tell at a glance that it's you ......."
So that's the case, Huang Ruirui finally understood, why Huo Jingwei was such a kind of expression when he saw him for the first time, but what does this have to do with Meiling?
"My youth, I spent it in melancholy and loneliness, and then by chance, I met Meiling, that is a girl who is very similar to you, instinctively, I will take her as your stand-in, I am close to her, longing for peace, subconsciously, I regard her as you, remember the promise of the year, and want to repay you......"
"I tried to give her everything I could, and she was also a very kind girl, she saw my melancholy, she saw my loneliness, she saw that I had no friends, and I didn't plan to contact people outside...... She actively encouraged me, encouraged me to be more exposed to the outside world, and encouraged me to smile more...... She accompanied me through the melancholy and dark years of my youth, and let me gradually come out of the shadows...... Later, when she turned seventeen, I invited her to my home to celebrate a happy birthday...... The last time you tore up the photo, I took for her when she came to my house...... Who would have thought that it would become an eternal memory...... became her posthumous photo......" Speaking of this, he was speechless for a long time, and tears fell again.
He raised his head and looked up at the sky, letting the tears dry with the wind.
Although it has been so many years, it is painful to peel off his wounds to others again.
"I'm sorry......" Huang Ruirui cried and apologized to Huo Jingwei in a low voice. She only knew that Meiling had a very good relationship with Huo Jingwei, and her weight in Huo Jingwei's heart was extremely heavy, but she didn't expect that the two would have such a past.
"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry...... I didn't know what that picture meant so much to you...... I only care about my feelings...... Just care about fighting for the wind and being jealous......" Huang Ruirui explained weakly.
"Rui Rui, don't tell me I'm sorry, between us, we shouldn't say I'm sorry......" Huo Jingwei stretched out his hand to hug her, because of the excitement of love, his broad chest was also rising and falling violently: "I was also at fault at the time, I was too emotionally out of control at the time, so I dizzy and hit you...... Really, I regret dying...... Especially in those days, when you play missing, it is like suddenly disappearing from the world...... I was really scared to the extreme...... I was really scared to the extreme...... After going around and around for so many years, I just met you, and I'm really afraid that something will happen to you, just like Meiling at the beginning...... I watched you disappear from my eyes......"
"Meiling was at my house back then...... I happened to go upstairs for something, and then, Meiling ran into my father...... My father saw that I was so good to her, so he simply and rudely decided that we were in a relationship and we were in love, and he humiliated Meiling, saying that she was not worthy of entering our family at all, and he didn't even think about imagining marrying into a wealthy family...... In short, those words should be difficult to hear...... The friendship between me and Meiling is really just pure, but he said it was so unbearable. Meiling is a girl with a lot of self-esteem, and when she heard these words, she ran out crying...... By the time I heard the noise outside and chased out, Meiling had been hit by an oncoming runaway truck...... Ultimately...... She died in my arms in such a bloody way......"
He hugged Huang Ruirui tightly, tears raging on his face, and he couldn't speak again. This past is a reminiscence, a pain.
Huang Ruirui stretched out her hand to wrap her arms around his waist, and in other people's sad stories, she also shed tears without anger......
"Jingwei, you should have told me about these things earlier, really, you said it earlier...... I can be mentally prepared, I won't think I'm just a stand-in, and I won't be so concerned with Meiling's photos......" she whispered against his chest.
Everyone has a wound, and if you don't mention it, it doesn't mean that you forget it.
"It's that I didn't handle it well, I just think that this is my past pain, and there is no need for you to know my sad past...... For the past ten years, I have been living with guilt...... I was wondering if I wasn't so good to Meiling, so others wouldn't think we were in a relationship...... Or, if I don't invite her to my home for her birthday, I can't meet my father, and he doesn't say such ugly words, maybe Meiling won't run out so impulsively, and there won't be a tragedy later...... However, these are all assumptions. The truth is that she tragically ended her young life, she was only seventeen years old...... Nothing has been enjoyed yet...... And so ended the young life. ”
"Abroad, every Sunday, I would kneel in church and pray for her peace in heaven, and in the hope that in doing so, I would alleviate my guilt and guilt...... I've always felt guilty, and I'm guilty of Meiling's death......"
Huang Ruirui hugged Huo Jingwei, with mixed feelings, but she didn't expect that Huo Jingwei had always lived so hard, lived so depressed and so aggrieved.
The soft arm gently caressed his back, like soothing a lonely child, and she comforted him softly: "Jingwei, you don't have to blame yourself so much...... It was a car accident...... It was pure accident...... It has nothing to do with you, you don't have to be so guilty and blame yourself...... Your original intention was just to be nice to Meiling......"
"That's true, but I often can't get past my own level, and I always feel that if it weren't for me, maybe there wouldn't be so many things behind...... The priest comforted me that God had closed one window for me and would open another window for me, so that I would not have to be in this dead knot all the time...... Then, on the night I returned home, I met you...... I suddenly understood that you are another window that God has opened for me, and that it is God's arrangement that you appeared in front of me in such a timely manner after so many peaks and turns. The moment I saw you, there was a voice in my heart that kept shouting - it's her, it's her, I must get her. ”
