Chapter 126: A Different World
She liked him to talk about their future in such detail, so beautiful, so happy, as if he had accidentally had a dream in his arms, and in the dream they were like the ending of all fairy tales, living happily ever after.
It's just that all the dreams in the world have to wake up after all, and in the face of the cruel reality, how much courage do they have to stick to such beautiful dreams?
"Xuanmu...... I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. She said, her eyes were red, interrupting his beautiful imagination, as if he had smashed the gorgeous crystal castle he had built with his own hands, with a click, crisp and loud, and extremely cruel.
He didn't seem to react, wondering why she suddenly said sorry, or if he was deliberately pretending to be confused when he was clearly aware and just didn't want to admit it.
"What, I'm sorry? Why say you're sorry. His voice was low and muffled, as if he was making a final confirmation, clinging to the last hope.
"I ...... I wouldn't be studying abroad. She lowered her head, not daring to look into his disappointed eyes.
She said she wouldn't go, not that she couldn't.
When did it start? Did she decide so when she fell in love with him?
He went to study abroad, and she stayed in the country...... So in the face of this relationship, she always expressed Xiàn's negativity, unwilling to imagine their future too much, conservative and apprehensive.
It turned out that she had set their ending at the beginning, and only he was having a gorgeous empty dream.
"So what you said, it was a lie to me to come to me two years later, you never thought about studying abroad from the beginning...... Didn't think about it...... You're going to be with me, huh? He asked, his throat tightened uncomfortably, and he felt that something was cracking at it, and all his beautiful imagination slipped from his fingers like quicksand in his hand. He couldn't hold it.
She still kept her head bowed and said nothing, her long hair hiding all her expressions and emotions.
Faced with Xuanmu's question, she didn't know how to reply, or she knew it, but she couldn't bear to say it herself.
She said that even if she stayed in the country. I went to a university in my country. Two years later, she would also go to him with a full scholarship to study abroad, and she said so definitely because she really thought so at the time.
But now that I have calmed down, I have regained my senses. Rethinking, she asked herself: Gu Yanran, went to college, two years later. Can you really go to him without a single breath?
The answer turned out to be...... No!
She won't go to him!
The argument ended in nothing, he sneered. Turn away.
She stood where she was, and she didn't have the courage to hold him, was that all? So be it!
Every day she spent with him she was grateful, and she never forgot the distance between them. This is a problem that they will have to face sooner or later, this is the reality, although she has been prepared for it. But it still hurts.
The setting sun stretched his back for a long time, lonely and lonely. It was distressing to watch, and she wanted to go up and hug him, but her feet seemed to be stuck in the dirt, and she couldn't move an inch.
For a long time after that, he was indifferent to her, they were at the same table, but they were stranger than strangers, was it a cold war? Or maybe he had lost all patience and faith in her.
None of them relented this time, because no one was likely to budge this time.
For Xuanmu, no matter how great the reason for separation is, it is betrayal, and he even begins to wonder if there will be a future between them if he really goes abroad and she stays in the country.
The distance of time and space will make them drift apart, they will have their own social circles, circle of friends, will form different worldviews and outlooks on life, and even meet better people, he has no confidence that he can overcome the long four years.
He was afraid that Yanran would change his mind, and he was even more afraid that he would change.
He could compromise on everything else, but not this time.
He didn't understand why Yanran didn't want to study abroad, was it because of his family background? Is it because of the high tuition fees and living expenses? But he has already thought of a way, and even helped her apply for a special scholarship for studying abroad, so that they can work together abroad, and he can even arrange an easy internship for her, so that she does not have to bear heavy financial pressure.
As long as she is willing to study abroad with him, he will definitely arrange a good arrangement for her and will not let her suffer half a point, what is she afraid of?
Or maybe from the beginning, she never thought about going with him to the end.
***********
Nanhua holds a graduation trip every year, and the place of the graduation trip is the Maldives, and after the final exams, students will pack their bags and go directly to paradise on earth.
Everyone was looking forward to the dream trip, and the girls gathered in groups to talk about what to wear and what kind of swimsuits to buy.
Yan Ran felt a little astringent in her heart, she couldn't go on this trip.
Although she told the teacher that it was because she was not feeling well, the real reason was because she couldn't pay the 10,000 yuan travel fee.
**Oss didn't ask too many questions, as if he had known that she would not participate, and although he had a look of regret on his face, he still saw through her wolf at a glance.
In the entire third class of the first year of high school, she was the only one who fell behind, and she was the only one who couldn't participate in the graduation trip.
10,000 yuan may be just pocket money for the students here, but for children from families like her, it is the tuition fee to the university hall and the income of grandma for a whole year.
Maldives...... It was a paradise she didn't dare to hope for.
The reality is so cruel, and she and he have to face more than that.
At lunchtime, Xia Mo said very tactfully that she could pay for the travel expenses.
Yan Ran bit her lip tightly, her heart tightened, although Xia Mo said quietly, trying not to touch her self-esteem, but she was still injured, as if she had been spied on, some wolves, some embarrassed, she pulled a far-fetched laugh.
"No, I want to go back early, I miss grandma and Yanyu."
"Oh! In fact, there is nothing interesting in the Maldives, I have been there several times, and there is no creativity at all, right? Xia Moyun said lightly, as if he saw Yanran's embarrassment, and wanted to comfort her, but she couldn't do it.
Yan Ran was silent, bowing her head to eat, her throat filled with an astringent taste.
That's the distance between them!
They had been to the Maldives many times, and Xia Mo could not think about paying for her graduation trip, but she could only save money just to be able to buy a girdle for her grandmother.
Grandma Gu often can't straighten her waist because of her perennial work, and she went to the town hospital a few times to see no problem, and originally wanted to take Grandma Gu to the city to see a doctor, but Grandma Gu refused, saying that she was fine, no pain.
In fact, he was reluctant to spend money, and he was even more afraid that if something went wrong, it would drag down Yanran and Yanyu, so he dragged it out until now.
Xia Mo saw Xuanmu and Yunhai coming over from a distance, beckoned to them, and motioned for them to sit opposite them.
The atmosphere was a little awkward, Xuanmu and Yanran, who were originally the most sticky, suddenly became rusty, and no one cared about anyone, and they knew at a glance that it was a cold war.
Yunhai has a headache, why do these two people quarrel at every turn, obviously they will have to reconcile after arguing for a long time, why do they have to quarrel, it hurts him and Xia Mo to have indigestion when they eat.
Everyone was in a bad mood for this meal, Yanran took the lead in getting up, said that you were full, you eat slowly, cleaned up the plate and left.
Xia Mo and Yun Hai stared wide-eyed, exchanged looks, and glanced at Xuanmu, who had a handsome face.
It seems that every time he quarrels, he is the first person who can't help it, and he is the most spineless person, although he feels that he is right, and the person who should be angry should also be him, but he still can't ignore her, and there is no way not to care about her.
He has been waiting for her to calm down and think clearly rationally, after all, studying abroad is an extremely beneficial choice for both him and her.
That's right, in his eyes, Yanran is the best girl in the world, smart, beautiful, and kind...... Speaking of her merits, he can say it for three days and three nights.
But even if she has a thousand, 10,000 good, he understands, but it doesn't mean that everyone in the world will understand.
Her family background would eventually become a barrier between them, he knew it, and she knew it.
Studying abroad, with her strength, will definitely enter the world-class university hall, gilded with a layer of gold, improve her own value, she can have an academic degree that others cannot reach, after graduation, he will naturally help her in her career, when the time comes, no one will question her, because she is valuable enough, she has capital, no one will say anything about her.
If you don't have a good family background, then you should at least be smart and knowledgeable, and only in this way will you not be labeled as greedy for wealth and seducing rich young masters.
He thought about everything for her, as long as she was willing to take that step, she could have the opportunity to change her fate, but he didn't expect that he fought for her, but she gave up.
He grabbed her hand and asked her, "Have you figured it out?" Isn't it good to study abroad with me? ”
She turned around indifferently, her expression was stern and focused: "I'm not going!" ”
Just three words, resolute and indifferent, faintly exuding alienation and impatience.
Doesn't he understand? They were originally people from two worlds, and they couldn't come together.
No matter how hard she tried, no matter how brave she was, she couldn't keep up with him.
Some things are so unfair, like he was born with a good family, and she was abandoned, their starting lines are different, the gap is so big, how can she catch up with him.
Many years later, when he returned from studying abroad, the gap between them would widen silently, leaving her in the dust.
It turns out that the distance between them is not only rich and poor, but also the difference in the environment in which they grew up, and the difference in experience and experience, just like people growing up in two different worlds...... He could never understand her, and she didn't want him to see his frustration and frustration.
"Why not? So what are you going to do? "Break up? He didn't have the courage to say these two words, but he was about to say them.
He grabbed her wrist and held it tightly, with no intention of letting go.
"You said you liked me...... But he never considered it from my point of view. She lowered her head, her voice was small, but it landed with a sound that pierced people's hearts. (To be continued) R640
