Chapter 23: Waiting Under the Cherry Blossom Tree

Shen Weiran walked out of the restaurant alone, and left without looking back, not because he didn't want to look back, but because he didn't dare to look back, afraid of seeing Jiang Chenxi's sadness!

Shen Weiran walked towards a relatively remote street alone, and when he saw that there was no one around, he slowly took out his mobile phone and dialed the number that he knew well in his heart, but hated it.

Quietly waiting for the other party to answer, the phone was connected, but Shen Weiran didn't know what to say, he held the phone in a daze, and there was always a trace of hatred in his eyes! After a while, a voice came from the other party: "Weiran, are you okay?" "The voice is full of powerlessness and vicissitudes!

Shen Weiran pursed the corners of her mouth tightly and said coldly: "It's good, there is food and drink, I was in a pretty good mood today, but as a result, you made a phone call...... Forget it, what's the matter? Shen Weiran hooked the corners of his mouth indifferently, as if he was mocking something!

When the other party heard Shen Weiran's words, he sighed inaudibly. The voice seemed to age ten years in an instant, and said, "Only, it's been so many years, can you come back to see me?" ”

Shen Weiran said with a nonchalant "um": "I don't have time, let's talk about it later, if there is nothing else, I will hang up the phone!" ”

The other end of the phone asked softly, "Well, would you mind if I came to see you at your school?" ”

Shen Weiran was taken aback, and replied in a tone that could not be refused: "Of course I mind, I still have something to do, hang up the phone." The moment he hung up the phone, Shen Weiran leaned against the corner alone, and his body slid down uncontrollably until he sat down on the ground!

Shen Weiran looked up at the sky, hoping to bring the tears back to the bottom of his heart, but this time, the tears poured out, like a flood that opened the floodgates, and he couldn't control it anymore.

Shen Weiran still remembers that summer, her father left her and her mother desperately, just like that, without looking back!

She vaguely remembers one day ten years ago, as usual, after school at noon, she waited for her father at the school gate to pick her up, and her father promised her in the morning that when she went back at noon, he would make her her favorite spicy chicken! It was her birthday, and she waited for her father under the cherry blossom tree at school like a homeless child, and waited for a long, long time, from noon to dusk! It's been so long that a person counts the falling petals under the cherry blossom tree, and counts so much that he forgets the time.

In the end, she didn't wait for her father, nor did she wait for her mother, she cried alone and held a handful of cherry blossom petals, gently put them into her school bag, she wanted to tell her father that she had been waiting for him and had never left this place! The cherry blossoms she was waiting for had fallen, and even the cherry blossoms were moved? But, father, where have you been?

Eight-year-old she, alone in the dusk, wiped her tears, carrying a heavy schoolbag, walked home step by step, the afterglow of the sunset lowered her little back, so lonely!

Shen Weiran, who returned home, only wanted to know why her father didn't pick her up, but ignored the suppressed sadness at home. Ignore the pointing and pointing of passers-by along the way!

Shen Weiran just stepped into the door, and the first thing she said was: "Mom, Dad, he ......" The unspoken words were stuck in her throat, and she couldn't speak anymore, she saw her mother sitting on the ground alone, the things in the room were messy, and the vase in the living room was smashed on the ground, it was my mother's favorite magnolia flower, which my father bought after running all over the city for my mother! Now, only a few magnolias are left lying alone on the ground, and some even the petals that have been stepped on have fallen, leaving only the stamens!

In less than a day, she didn't know what was happening, she just looked at her mother in a daze, only to find that her mother was already in tears!

She seemed to know what she had lost, she seemed to know why her father didn't pick her up, she seemed to know why others pointed fingers at her along the way, because, she didn't have a father!

She couldn't believe that this was true, she stared at her mother tightly, expecting her mother's answer, and even more afraid that her mother would disappear in the next second!

The mother slowly raised her hand and touched her forehead, from the forehead to the cheek, so carefully, but the gentle mother told the cruel truth, she said: "Your father does not want us anymore, and will never come back!" ”

Shen Weiran's tears could no longer be suppressed, hugging his mother, the two of them hugged each other and cried! That day, she was heartbroken. From that day on, the father she had hoped for, the father she adored, was no longer seen and disappeared into her life! It only takes one day to make people fall from heaven to hell!

At that time, Shen Weiran saw that her mother had aged ten years overnight, she secretly wiped her tears under the quilt alone, biting her lip tightly, not daring to make a sound, for fear that her mother would be sad when she heard it! Later, Shen Weiran learned that her mother, like herself, secretly cried in the dead of night!

The young Shen Weiran still had a wish, even her mother didn't know, she secretly put the cherry blossom petals in her schoolbag that evening in a box. At the bottom of the desk, because that's the only memory my father has left for him! No matter how strong she is, she is just a child, a child who looks forward to warmth, she likes to open the box in the dead of night to see the cherry blossom petals, she thinks that if one day, her father comes back, she will hold the box and let her father see the withered cherry blossom petals, she wants to tell her father: on her birthday, she has been waiting for his return, waiting until dusk to see her off, waiting until the cherry blossoms have been moved by her to drop the petals, and waiting for the cherry blossoms to cry with her, but in the end, still did not wait for you!

Shen Weiran, who was growing up, understood some things, she only knew that since she left, she didn't need to come back! Even if her father returned, she didn't want him anymore. Later, she heard others say that her father became an official and had a prosperous official fortune, just because he married a new wife, the mayor's daughter! Some people also said: The father was unkind and abandoned his wife and daughter for the sake of his official position. Some people also say: Father did the right thing, good birds should choose trees to perch.

When she heard this, she just laughed sarcastically, and she could probably put it down. She doesn't need her father anymore, she just wants her mother to be well, because she waited for a long, long time, and her father didn't show up. The cherry blossom trees that have been in front of the school for a long time are dying! It's been so long that I've forgotten what my father looks like!

She is used to indifference and knows how to mature, and she has no friends until Su Yu appears! She refuses everyone's approach for fear of being hurt again! She is like a hedgehog, wrapping herself in it, whoever dares to approach will hurt whom, in the same way, once the hedgehog's thorns are pulled out, then this hedgehog will be drenched in blood! This truth was only understood when Shen Weiran was completely hurt, but it was too late!
