Chapter 17: The Expected Breakup
After breakfast the next day, Mei Lan just waved her hand to Cai Tuhao, took the money and planned to go to the hospital gate to buy some fruits to give to the nurses who often took care of her, who knew that as soon as she arrived at the hospital gate, she saw Xu Yan standing at the gate wandering, holding a mobile phone in his hand, pressing a few numbers and deleting them, pressing and deleting, deleting them, after three or four times, he raised his head and looked at the entrance of the hospital.
The man who wanted to see but didn't dare to see was looking at him with his head half-tilted.
"Merlan, when did you come out? I ......" Thinking of what he was going to say in a moment, Xu Yan was a little angry.
"Xu Yan, when did you become such a mother-in-law?"
Xu has experienced the pain of his previous life, although Xu Yan in front of him is still wearing the classic dress of a white T-shirt and beige slacks, and he is still wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, his eyes still look clean, and his smile is still gentle, but Mei Lan does not have the excitement and heartbeat of reuniting after a long absence, and she does not have the courage to rush up and hug him regardless of a qiē.
It turns out that space-time can really change a qiē.
"What's wrong? Don't know me anymore? Xu Yan also discovered Mei Lan's abnormality, walked over, and reached out to rub Mei Lan's hair.
This is Xu Yan's favorite action, because when he was a child in the countryside, Mei Lan had to do a lot of things, and it was inconvenient to grow her hair, so Deng Hongying took scissors and cut it a few times at will, so Xu Yan at that time often ridiculed Mei Lan's head as a chicken nest, anyway, no matter how you rub it, it won't affect the appearance.
Later, Mei Lan went to high school in the county seat, and was reluctant to spend money to go to the barber shop to cut her hair, so she had to keep her hair long, simply comb a ponytail, cut the ends of her hair by herself, and didn't need to keep bangs.
But every time they met, Xu Yan's habit of rubbing Meilan's head was still retained.
"Cut, I know you even if you are burned to ashes, ah, no, phew, there is no mouth, there is no heart." Merlin realized that she had said the wrong thing and hurriedly spat on the ground.
Although she knew what Xu Yan came for, Mei Lan was still reluctant to curse him, in her heart, Xu Yan was not only a love when she was young, but also a benchmark on her growth path.
"You haven't had breakfast yet, let's go, I'll take you to breakfast." Xu Yan didn't care about Mei Lan's words, because Mei Lan's temperament has always been so jumpy, very arrogant, it can also be said that she has no heart and lungs, otherwise, if she were in her environment with a different person, she would have been depressed or distorted a long time ago.
But Mei Lan is different, Mei Lan is always smiling, this is also what Mei Lan attracts Xu Yan the most, she has such a hard time tomorrow, but she can always see the sweetest smile on her face.
Thinking of this, Xu Yan's heart felt a little dull pain, and he reached out to hold Mei Lan's hand, which he held for the first time since he was ten years old, although at that time it was not because of the love between men and women, but because of his pity for her, but anyway, he also held these hands for ten years.
But after today, he will be left behind.
Mei Lan's hands are still rough, and when she thinks about it, other people's holidays are for playing, but her holidays are for work, and after finishing the family's farm work, she has to come out to work to earn her own tuition, how can such hands not be rough?
But this kind of touch is what Xu Yan is most familiar with.
Mei Lan didn't shake off Xu Yan's hand, nor did she tell him, she had already had breakfast, and she couldn't say why. The two walked to a shop on the side of the street and asked for two beef fried noodles.
"Xu Yan, let me tell you, I have been very lucky in the past two days, I met a local tyrant, and he actually gave me five hundred yuan a day's wages, and five days, gave me two thousand five, do you think I'm weak?"
"Really? Our Lanlan has always been an auspicious star. ”
"Well, can I run into you?" Merlin grinned.
She is trying her best to pretend to be the Mei Lan before she was reborn, drawing a perfect end to her young love, and she doesn't want to leave regrets.
Xu Yan's eyes turned a little red when he heard this, and he turned his head to look at the price list on the wall.
"I'll treat you to this meal today, I don't think I've ever invited you to dinner." Merlin spoke again.
"No, don't worry about me. Let's eat, after eating we will go for a walk by the lake. ”
"Okay." Mei Lan smiled back at Xu Yan again.
Although she had already eaten breakfast, Mei Lan still ate the fried noodles on the plate, in the future, they would not have the opportunity to sit and eat together again, in the future, he would not buy beef fried noodles for her again, and in the future, she would definitely not let him buy her food again.
Half an hour later, the two sat on the lawn by the Rucui Lake, this season of Jinggang Mountain is the time when tourists are weaving, the two of them finally found a clean place.
"Xu Yan, you said that in the future, when I am a rich man, I will also learn from Aunt Lin to open an inn on the mountain, and then look at the green trees, flowers, small bridges, flowing water, pavilions, and pavilions in front of me every day, breathe the fresh air that people in the city can't buy with money, and eat green food that people in the city can't buy with money, isn't it very comfortable?"
Mei Lan used to be very disapprehensive whenever she saw outsiders come here to sigh at the green mountains and green waters of Ciping, but later she went to Guangzhou to work, looked up, and as far as the eye could see, in addition to high-rise buildings or high-rise buildings, she somewhat understood why rich people were hypocritical.
Because people are always chasing what they don't have, for example, the poor want to be rich, the rich want youth and health, of course, those rich second generations born with a golden key are not counted, what do they want?
"Mei Lan, I, I, I'm sorry, I, in the future, I ......" Xu Yan said with difficulty.
As the saying goes, it's going to rain, and the mother is going to get married, so let it go.
Don't stay with those who should go, and you can't stay if you stay.
Thinking of this, Mei Lan changed her tone and said fiercely: "Xu Yan, I also said just now, when did you become such a mother-in-law, what is it that makes you so embarrassed and difficult to speak?" Could it be that you are splitting your legs outside behind my back? Don't say I didn't warn you, I definitely don't want anything that has been used by others, Mei Lan, if you want to split your legs, you will die. ”
Mei Lan grabbed Xu Yan's hand as she spoke, reached out and hit it a few times, and asked, "Say, did these hands lead the hands of other girls?" ”
"Merlan, you?" Xu Yan was surprised.
I didn't expect him to spit out of Mei Lan's mouth so easily, could she really have noticed it?
Xu Yan looked at Mei Lan.
Merlin looked at him sideways.
"I'm sorry I betrayed our oath. Mei Lan, you are a good girl, and in the future, there will be better boys who will cherish you. Xu Yan closed his eyes and said these words.
He really didn't have the courage to look at her.
Merlin shook off his hand when he heard this.
"Hehe, Xu Yan, you are really boring, there is nothing new, you broke up and broke up, and you have to add a sentence of 'You are a good girl.' Actually, from the time you didn't go home for so long, didn't call me for so long, didn't come to me for the first time when you came back, and stood at the door of the hospital and struggled with whether to call me, I guessed what you were going to tell me today. ”
Mei Lan didn't beat him up like in the previous life, and in the two years of working outside, she realized the helplessness of the poor more clearly, so she forgave Xu Yan.
It's no one else, it's Xu Yan, it's the Xu Yan who has been her benchmark for ten years, and it's the Xu Yan who warmed her entire girlhood.
Xu Yan, the most cherished person she once cherished.
"Mei Lan, I'm sorry, I'm telling the truth, you're really a good girl, ...... in my heart"
"Okay, don't mother-in-law, I know that I am a good girl, I don't need you to sue me, don't worry, I will definitely live well in the future, and you will definitely regret giving up on me in the future, don't believe it, you wait and see." Today is 9:23 a.m. on July 20, 2009, on the lawn by Rucui Lake, Xu Yan is going to break up with Mei Lan. After Mei Lan finished speaking, she made up this message on her mobile phone, and then sent it to Xu Yan.
"Merlan, you?"
"Don't worry, I'll go back to work." After a pause, Mei Lan said again: "Xu Yan, there is a question, I only ask it one last time, and I will never ask it again in the future, I want to know, did you break up with me just because I was poor?" ”
Mei Lan was still a little unwilling in the end.
Xu Yan looked at the starry eyes in front of him, he couldn't speak, and nodded for a long time.
"That's good, at least you still really liked me and didn't lie to me. I forgive you. Mei Lan replied to Xu Yan with a bright smile, turned around, but burst into tears.
Mei Lan walked faster and faster, and finally ran up, Xu Yan noticed that something was wrong from the expressions of the passers-by next to him looking at Mei Lan, and strode to catch up with Mei Lan from behind, and grabbed her, only then did he see Mei Lan's face full of tears.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry......" Xu Yan hugged Mei Lan.
Mei Lan kicked Xu Yan's knee and broke away.
"Xu Yan, don't forget what you just said, we have broken up, if you are a man, just be a man, from now on, whether I cry funny or not, it has nothing to do with you, and I, Meilan, am not crying for you, I am crying for myself, crying that my dream of chasing for ten years has been shattered. Xu Yan, goodbye. After Mei Lan finished speaking, she turned and ran.
This time, Xu Yan didn't catch up, but slowly watched Mei Lan's back squatting on the ground.
