Chapter 21: Weakness under Strength

It was already four o'clock when he returned home, and after a little rest, Li Le was ready to go to Liu Yunyunyao to have a look.

When passing by the vegetable market, Li Le made a bunch of vegetables in large bags and small bags, and bought some apples at the fruit stall by the way, and then walked towards Liu Yunyao's house.

When he arrived in the courtyard, Li Le found that the door was closed, and there was no one in sight, and after waiting for about half an hour, he saw Liu Yunyao coming back from outside.

Seeing Li Le, Liu Yunyao just glanced at him, and then walked past him, as if there was no such person, he opened the door by himself, and there was no sound after entering the room.

Li Le followed in, put down the vegetables and fruits, and then found a seat.

I was just about to say a few words to Liu Yunyao, but I found that she looked a little unusual, I saw her sitting there with her knees crossed, looking tired, and her eyes seemed to be a little red and swollen. The soft body and bones seem to have an indescribable heaviness at the moment, and the eyes are full of sadness and helplessness.

"What's wrong?" Li Le lowered his voice and tried to be as gentle as possible, for fear of startling her, although he was a little anxious at the moment to know what was going on.

Without hearing a reply, Li Le continued to ask, "Lack of money?"

Liu Yunyao shook her head, and finally responded, although she didn't speak, it was better than not reacting at all.

But Li Le was shocked, could it be that his father had an accident? Because Liu Yunyao's biggest thing in the family now is his father's illness and money, but the former is much more important than the latter.

"Is it your father?" Li Le wanted to ask if his father's condition had deteriorated, but he couldn't ask what he was talking about.

Hearing the words of her father, Liu Yunyao's emotions seemed to be a little broken, and then she couldn't hold back any longer, and crystal tears rolled down her cheeks.

Seeing such a situation, Li Le also knew Le's answer.

Liu Yunyao cried without a sound, just let the tears roll down her face. But Li Le knew that such a situation was going to happen, and all her emotions at the moment were completely held in her heart, and there was no sound to release them, just afraid that she would have a problem.

Seeing Liu Yunyao burying her cheeks deep in her knees, her shoulders twitching constantly, her helpless and pitiful appearance made Li Le feel a burst of worry.

He walked over, thinking of giving her a warm hug directly, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, he took it back dryly. After struggling for a moment, he stretched out his hand again, but it only landed on Liu Yunyao's back.

Seeing that she did not object, he stroked her gently to comfort her.

"Just cry if you want to, just cry out."

Liu Yunyao still just hugged her knees and sobbed silently, and when Li Le saw this, she was also ruthless, and directly grabbed her and let her lean on her shoulder.

The moment he picked it up, Li Le felt Liu Yunyao's fierce struggle. Li Le's hands clung to her, making it difficult for her to break free. Then he felt a heart-piercing pain on his shoulder, but Liu Yunyao saw that he couldn't break free, so he bit Li Le's shoulder with one bite, biting desperately, and using all his strength.

Feeling the constant pressure on his shoulders, Li Le suddenly gasped, and the expression on his face was distorted and completely deformed. The pain in his heart eroded his nerves again and again like a tidal wave.

Li Le gritted his teeth and endured to keep himself from screaming.

After a long time, after the pain passed, Li Le still didn't let go, but said softly in Liu Yunyao's ear: "Cry out, let out the discomfort in your heart and the grievances in your heart, don't always support it alone."

Feeling the relief on his shoulders, Li Le knew that it had finally worked.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Liu Yunyao to cry, and at this moment, it seemed that all the discomfort, grievances and helplessness were surging out with the cry.

Li Le also felt that the weak girl in her arms was holding back so much pain in her heart, and she felt even more guilty for another Li Le's behavior of forcibly occupying her body.

I want to let her laugh wantonly without burdens in the future, I want to fill her heart with joy and happiness in the future, and I will be the umbrella on her head in the future, holding up the whole sky for her. Li Le swore silently in his heart at this moment.

Time passed gently, Liu Yunyao's cry gradually became smaller, and Li Le caressed her back in an attempt to give a trace of comfort and warmth to her fragile heart.

This girl, who has always been strong, at this moment, shows a vulnerability that she has never been before. Perhaps not so long ago, she had always thought that she could bear everything, letting go of her youth and immaturity. And at this moment, just one shoulder allowed her to remove the layer of camouflage that had been overwhelmed.

By the time the crying had stopped, Le had already relaxed his arms. Liu Yunyao was still lying in his arms, he didn't move, and only the sound of gentle breathing was left in the quiet room.

Li Le understood that maybe Liu Yunyao might change into a strong coat again in the next moment, but at this moment, he wanted her to be weak for a while, even if it was just for a second longer.

"My dad is getting sicker." Soft and somewhat choked words suddenly came from his arms, Li Le was slightly stunned, did not speak, and continued to wait for the following. "The doctor said that the cancer cells had recurred, and this time it was more ferocious, and he didn't have much time, and he wanted to come back."

Li Le gently stroked Liu Yunyao's hair, he was a little silent, he didn't know how to comfort Liu Yunyao at this time.

The voice continued, "My mom said they would come back tomorrow and stop going to the hospital, and stay home with him for the last stretch of the road. ”

After saying this, Liu Yunyao was silent again, and after a while, she got up from Li Le's arms. Seeing her cheeks again, the tears had dried up, the fragility was gone, and the strength was put on again.

"I'll cook, you rest." Li Le got up and walked towards the kitchen.

Li Le's mood was a little heavy at the moment, and sometimes he didn't understand why life was so difficult. was originally a happy family, but it was about to be broken because of such an illness.

Sighing slightly, he concentrated on cooking.

I don't know when, Liu Yunyao came to the door of the kitchen, and there she leaned her back against her, watching Li Le busy.

"What's wrong?" Li Le asked softly, he didn't expect Liu Yunyao to stand there looking at him, she would always go into the room before.

Liu Yunyao shook her head, but was silent.

Li Le was a little puzzled, but if she didn't answer, she didn't ask anymore. The two of them just boiled and watched.

It didn't take long for the meal to be ready, and after it was packed in a thermos flask, Li Le was ready to go to the hospital to deliver the meal.

"I'll go with you." Liu Yunyao said suddenly.

Li Le looked at her, stunned for a moment, and then nodded. "You wait a minute, I'll cover the food, so that it won't get cold again when I come back."

The two walked on the way to the hospital, different from the speed of Li Le in the past. Liu Yunyao walked a little slowly and heavily. When he arrived at the gate of the hospital, Liu Yunyao told him again that he didn't want to go in, and that he would just wait for him below.

Looking at her appearance, Li Le didn't know what to say, and then went up alone with the food.

When she saw Mother Liu again, she didn't have the smile she used to have, and her face was full of tiredness, sadness, and despair. Seeing Li Le, Liu Mu smiled, but it was very far-fetched. Li Le didn't care, she knew that nothing could make Liu's mother happy now.

It was Father Liu, who seemed to know his own situation, and he saw it, although he was thin and haggard, his expression seemed very relaxed, and he felt a sense of relief.

During the meal, Liu's mother lowered her head and was silent, but Liu's father ate deliciously, and kept picking vegetables for Liu's mother. However, Li Le found that Liu Mu secretly wiped her eyes with the corners of her clothes, and when she raised her head slightly, her eyes were already red and swollen.

A strange emotion rippled in Li Le's heart, making him feel a little uncomfortable in his heart. Under the pretext of going to the bathroom, he slipped out of the hospital room, unable to bear to look inside.

When he walked out of the hospital gate again, Li Le found that Liu Yunyao was sitting on the steps of the stairs under the door, just looking at the sky quietly, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Let's go home." Li Le walked up to her and said softly.

Liu Yunyao glanced back and saw that it was Li Le, then stood up and walked forward.

When passing by a supermarket, Liu Yunyao stopped, and then said to Li Le behind, "Can you buy me some wine?" I want to drink. ”

Li Le thought for a while, and then handed the thermos to Liu Yunyao, "You stay here for a while, I'll buy it for you." ”

After entering the supermarket, Li Le went straight to the place where the wine was placed, he understood that Liu Yunyao felt uncomfortable and wanted to drink some wine, so he didn't say much, and directly hugged four bottles of canned beer.

Seeing Li Le walking out, Liu Yunyao continued to walk forward.

When she arrived at home, after Liu Yunyao put down the thermos flask, she took the beer from Li Le's arms, and then opened it by herself, picked up a bottle and poured it into her mouth.

"Ahem! Cough! Obviously, she hadn't drunk much, Liu Yunyao was a little fierce, and she was choked directly.

"You drink slowly, no one will rob you, you can drink as much as you want today." Li Le saw her choking and coughing, and felt a little distressed.

After a while, Liu Yunyao eased up. Then he continued again, but he was obviously not used to the taste of the wine, and his brow furrowed when he drank it. Despite this, it is one bite after another.

Seeing her like this, Li Le hurriedly took out the dishes and chopsticks again, and lifted the covered dishes on the table, "You eat some food and then drink, it's easy to hurt your stomach just by drinking like this." ”

Liu Yunyao didn't seem to hear Li Le's words, and still drank like that. Half a can of belly, her face turned red. Looking at Li Le's eyes, he was also a little confused, "I wanted to see my dad again just now, but I didn't dare to go up when I walked to the hospital, I was afraid that he couldn't control himself, do you think I'm useless?" ”

"No, you're the toughest girl I've ever met."

"Strong? What's the use of being strong, being strong can't save my dad, being strong doesn't have to rely on physical talent to make up for medical expenses, and now everything is useless! It's useless! Liu Yunyao's expression looked very desperate, and the tears in her eyes kept turning, shining like diamonds.

Hearing Liu Yunyao's words, Li Le also felt depressed for a while, obviously it was not his own doing, but he had to bear it permanently, which also made him feel guilty forever in the face of this girl.

Thinking about it, Li Le simply took a bottle of wine, and then poured it down in one go. With the strength of the wine, Li Le looked at Liu Yunyao and asked a little complicatedly, "Do you hate me very much?"

"Hate? There was a time when I really hated, but can I say I hate now? After all, I volunteered, and although your money was late, I gave it too. If I really hate, I hate myself, I hate that I can't make my dad better. Saying this, Liu Yunyao's tears could no longer be stopped, and fell silently down her cheeks, making her originally beautiful face feel more desolate.

Li Le didn't know what to say, looking at Liu Yunyao with tears in her eyes, he couldn't bear to stop it, maybe a hangover could make her forget the pain for a while. But in such a way of drinking, he was afraid that Liu Yunyao would hurt himself.

I don't know if it's right or wrong to buy her wine today.

Liu Yunyao's alcohol consumption is obviously not very good, and she is already a little drunk after a bottle, which is also the result of her drinking on an empty stomach without eating a mouthful of food.

Seeing that Liu Yunyao wanted to continue to open the second bottle, Li Le hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop it, but she snatched it, opened it directly and poured it into his mouth.

Seeing this situation, Li Le hurriedly snatched the remaining bottle and drank it directly.

When the second bottle was more than half drunk, Liu Yunyao covered her mouth and wanted to vomit. Seeing this, Li Le hurriedly went over and helped her, and then helped her to the bathroom.

As soon as Liu Yunyao arrived at the bathroom, she vomited at the urinal, and Li Le stroked his back while secretly scolding himself for buying wine and buying four bottles.

After vomiting, Li Le helped her to the inner room again, put her on the bed, and then dragged her shoes and covered her with a quilt.

Liu Yunyao was holding her head with her hands at this moment, her brows furrowed, obviously a little uncomfortable.

Seeing this, Li Le ran to the kitchen again, and then found some brown sugar and made her a glass of sugar water, just about to bring it to the room. saw Liu Yunyao lying sideways on the side of the bed, obviously wanting to vomit again.

"Wait, wait! Bear with me, I'll find you a basin. Li Le hurriedly put the sugar water in his hand on the table, and quickly ran to the bathroom to pick up the washbasin and rushed inside.

But before he could get there, he heard the sound of Le vomiting coming from inside, and Li Le's heart suddenly became cold.

When I entered the door, I saw that there was a large pool of stains on the ground at this moment.

Putting the basin under Liu Yunyao's mouth, Li Le patted her on the back, seeing her uncomfortable appearance, he felt that it seemed that buying drunk with wine was really not a good attention.

When the vomiting was almost over, Li Le brought the brown sugar water on the table and let Liu Yunyao drink two sips while it was hot before letting her lie down.

Liu Yunyao, who drank some brown sugar water, seemed to feel a little more comfortable, her brows had been evacuated, and then she quieted down.

Looking at the puddle of dirt on the ground, Li Le could only pick up the basin, and then put it under the faucet outside the house and flushed it. After finishing the work, I found a few briquettes that burned the fire, put them on the stain and crushed them, and then cleaned them up.

After more than 20 minutes of busy work, Li Le took a cigarette in his free time. After taking two bites while the food was still a little enthusiastic, I had to wash the dishes and clean up the kitchen.

By the time it was really busy, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.

When she walked into the back room, Liu Yunyao seemed to be asleep. Li Le wanted to go back at this time, but when he saw Liu Yunyao sleeping soundly, he pulled the stool in front of the desk and sat down.

Maybe only then can he look at Liu Yunyao quietly.

Liu Yunyao looks very good when she is asleep, quiet like a princess waiting for the prince to wake up in a fairy tale, she is really a sleeping beauty.

Thinking of Sleeping Beauty, Li Le suddenly patted his head, and he seemed to have promised to give the nuclear carving to Li Siyun after the National Day. But when I went to Tang Chongming's again, it was Liu Yunyao's house that something like this happened, and it would definitely not be completed in the past two days.

But at this moment, he didn't have the extra mood to think about whether Li Siyun would be angry at that time.

I don't know if Liu Yunyao is still worried about the sleeping girl, Li Le looked at the girl on the bed and couldn't help but think.

After a long time, Li Le sighed softly, and then said to himself: "I had a lot of things I wanted to say to you, but I couldn't say them when I was awake."

"You girl, you're always so strong. A lot of things can't be carried, so let people share them, and you only have so many burdens on your shoulders that you can hold. Although you said that you didn't hate me, I knew I was sorry for you, and at first I wanted to atone for my sins, but now I don't know if I like you. ”

"It's always uncomfortable with you, always trying to protect you, help you, make you happy, do you think you like it? I don't have any great skills, but I can always help you share it, right? Even if you can't share it, you can borrow a shoulder to lean on, right? Maybe in your mind, I'm just a jerk, a villain who takes advantage of the opportunity, but I hope you can let me help you through this difficult time. After that, if you don't want to see me again, let me go. ”

Li Le said to Liu Yunyao to himself. These words, he actually wanted to say to Liu Yunyao a long time ago. When she was awake, she couldn't speak, but it was uncomfortable to hold it in her heart. Seeing that Liu Yunyao was asleep, he vomited all of them, and suddenly felt much more comfortable in his heart.

Then something sounded, and he took out a stack of money from his pocket, but it was the 10,000 that he had withdrawn from the bank last time and gave Tang Xin 2,000, and there were nearly 8,000 left. Leaving a thousand for his own use, Li Le put the rest on Liu Yunyao's desk. Then he turned off the lights and left.

From beginning to end, he didn't notice that Liu Yunyao's eyelashes had been beating slightly. When he was gone, the eyes of the night opened, and then a long sigh sounded.

She was awake when Li Le spoke, and she didn't want to open her eyes because the strength of the wine was still a little painful.

At this moment, after Li Le left, she also felt extremely complicated in her heart. What Li Le did during this period of time is absolutely impossible to say that it has not touched her at all.

In fact, she really has no hatred for Li Le, although her body was taken away, but the money was finally given, and she no longer mentioned the requirements in the contract. And during these days, she always cooks and delivers meals to supplement the family, how can she hate him again.

It's just that she doesn't know how to face it, after all, it turns out that Li Le deceived her when she took advantage of her, and it is difficult for her to overcome this hurdle.

I didn't dare to open my eyes just now, and I was afraid of embarrassment.

Turning on the light, Liu Yunyao was about to get up and get something to eat, she had been drinking on an empty stomach just now, and now she felt a little hungry. But when she got up, she suddenly found a thick stack of money on the table, and she was stunned.

It seems that he owes him more and more.
