Chapter Ninety-Three: Journey to the North 4
The next day, the two went out to buy throat lozenges to treat their throats, and then decided to go to the cinema to watch a movie, and in front of the electronic screen where the movie was selected, Duanmuqin pointed to a thrilling action movie called "Eight Hours of Life and Death" and asked: "Fang Yujin, I want to watch this, what do you say?" β
Fang Yujin yawned and said, "Got it." I'm going to buy a movie ticket, you wait here. β
Seeing the back of Fang Yujin leaving, Duan Muqin nodded and thought: "It's not too bad, I still know that girls are not allowed to buy tickets, it seems that there is a younger sister who is also very helpful to Fang Yujin." β
After Fang Yujin bought the tickets, when he arrived at the door of the corridor of the screening hall, the ticket inspector raised his head and looked at the two of them in surprise after receiving the tickets, and then silently punched holes in the tickets. After walking into the corridor of the screening hall, Duanmuqin pointed to the No. 3 screening hall and said, "Fang Yujin, you are wrong, it's this way." β
Fang Yujin picked up his movie ticket and glanced at it and said, "That's right, it's Screening Hall 5." β
Duanmuqin's keen intuition told her that things were not simple, Duanmuqin snatched the ticket in Fang Yujin's hand, and said in a lost voice: "You bought a ticket for another movie?" What the hell is this? β
"Haha, I'm the right person to ask this question. "The Explosion of the Universe" is the seventh cosmic documentary series directed by David Johnson, and I have been watching his documentaries since I was 12 years old and have been following him ever since. Today, both of us were lucky, and we both came across our favorite movies in the cinema. β
Duanmuqin's right hand holding the movie ticket trembled slightly, and then she crumpled the ticket in her hand and threw it out and said, "You go and explode with your universe, stupid!" β
In the afternoon, Duanmuqin received a courier for his mother, it was a refrigerator, Duanmuqin shouted to Fang Yujin's room: "Fang Yujin, get out!" β
Fang Yujin pushed open the door of the room and asked, "What's wrong?" β
Duan Muqin opened the box and said, "You have a new task, I want to eat this thing...... Suddenly Duan Muqin took a step back in fright, because there was a pile of crawling crayfish in the refrigerator.
Fang Yujin said helplessly: "Eldest sister, do you know how long it will take to get this thing?" If you have the ingredients, bring them over and let me get them for you, am I a guest at your house or your mother? β
"You're the one who lives in my house, and I don't pay you a dime for your rent, don't you think you should do something? I'm going to eat garlic and spicy, you can be numb but not too spicy. Two more side dishes, a sweet cucumber and fruit salad, and a drink I want chilled lemon juice. β
Hearing Duan Xylophone say the request so smoothly, Fang Yujin suddenly had nothing to say, he looked at the crayfish in the refrigerator and thought: "It's very time-consuming just to clean the lobster, and you have to go outside to buy spices, it's easy to cook, but the preparation is too tiring." β
Put the chili, pepper, sesame pepper, spices, shengjiang and bay leaves into the oil pan and start stir-frying, then add the sauce and crayfish to stir-fry, and finally add beer and seasonings to taste. The garlic crayfish needs to be fried in high-temperature oil first, and then put the garlic into the oil pot to start stir-frying and seasoning, and when Fang Yujin makes two crayfish, the rich fragrance overflows from the kitchen and fills the entire living room.
Cooking takes a lot of time and energy, and when all the dishes are ready, it's 6 p.m., and the bright sky outside is gradually darkening, just in time for dinner.
After Duan Muqin saw Fang Yujin bring a plate of red crayfish, she rubbed each other with her hands, and then she didn't wear gloves, she directly picked up a spicy crayfish and peeled off the shell and began to eat, Fang Yujin reminded her: "It will be better to dip the soup with shrimp meat." β
The shrimp was just killed this afternoon, so it is very fresh, the shrimp meat is tender and elastic, and the fresh and spicy soup has been flavored, Duanmuqin nodded after eating one and said: "It's really good, it's on the same level as the food stalls, how do you usually allocate your time?" If you think about it, you'll see that you're going to have a lot of stuff. β
"Duanmu, since I started high school, I haven't listened carefully to the lessons taught by the school teachers anymore."
Duanmuqin was spicy and took a breath of air, she hurriedly picked up a piece of sweet cucumber and threw it into her mouth and said, "Have you spent all your time on these things in the past three years?" β
"Yes, I just wanted to learn something that was not taught in the classroom, it just so happened that now is the information age, what you want to learn will have relevant information on the Internet, so I download the portable document format to the tablet and learn it slowly, everything whether I want it or not, once I start, I must learn it for a month."
Duanmuqin scooped up a spoonful of minced garlic with a spoon, tasted it, and asked, "After studying for a month?" Why do I need to study for a month? β
"Because there are many things that you can't do if you try them superficially, you must study them carefully to have the qualifications to give up. Just like some people think that pizza is just a piece of pie with some cheese and meat on top, and math is all about addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, I at least hope I don't be like that, I know I'm far from being really good, but at least I don't want to be like that group of people. β
Duan Muqin said while peeling off the shrimp shells, "But there is one thing to say, the food you cook is delicious, and you are worthy of being a person who aspires to be a househusband." β
"Ah, thank you. Whether I live with Xiaowei or with other people in the future, I always have to let the other party have the idea that 'choosing to enter with Fang Yu is the right choice', and I want to improve my professional competitiveness." β
Duanmuqin hugged his fists and said, "It's amazing." β
Fang Yujin cupped his fists and saluted and said, "Don't dare, don't dare." Anything else you'd like to ask? I know it all. β
After Duanmuqin was silent for a while, he said, "I really have one more I want to ask, but if you don't want to say it, just refuse, I want to ask, Fang Yujin, why are you afraid of crossing the road?" β
Fang Yujin originally had a smile on his face, but when he heard this, he immediately lost his smile, and his action of eating lobster stopped.
Fang Yujin and Duan Muqin suddenly didn't speak again, and the living room fell into silence, as if they could hear the sound of snowflakes falling outside the window.
Fang Yujin was silent for a while before he said: "I had a very good friend in my first year of high school, he is the kind of real friend, the kind who will kick me out of the house to help me out when he knows that I am being bullied. β
Then Fang Yujin paused for a moment, and said: "Later, there was a quarrel, and I attacked him fiercely about his origin, his family lives in the suburbs, and I live in the city, and I have a sense of superiority over this matter." In fact, when he turned around, I already regretted it and wanted to apologize, but I couldn't say it for the sake of face, and then ......"
Suddenly, Fang Yujin covered his chest, took a deep breath and said, "Then...... Then I saw him run over on the road, and I could see everything clearly, how the car hit it, how he fell, and the traces of his body being run over by tires, and I was really confused, and I didn't know what to do. β
Duan Muqin saw that Fang Yujin's hands were trembling slightly when he told about this incident, and his eyes had become dull, so he thought worriedly: "It seems that this incident has hit him quite hard." β
Fang Yujin covered his forehead, suddenly sniffed, and said, "I'll ...... later." I kept thinking that if I hadn't been so desperate to save face, I would have stopped him at the time, I ...... My friend won't die! β
Fang Yujin lowered his head and said, "I have been thinking about this matter all the time, and when I lie alone in bed at night and can't sleep, I will think about it from time to time. β
Duanmuqin heard Fang Yujin's voice a little hoarse, and sympathy arose, she immediately sat down beside Fang Yujin, patted him on the shoulder with her hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay." β
After a while, Fang Yujin spoke, "Duanmu, you ...... Can you tell me something about you? It feels like I'm the only one saying it, which is quite strange. β
Duanmuqin's expression became more solemn, she poured herself a glass of lemon juice and said: "When I was in junior high school before, I had a friend who had a very good time, just like a sister, going shopping together, drinking coffee together, eating cakes and watching movies together, and she would tell me about the boy she liked." When I have a birthday, she will also prepare in advance and go to buy me a gift. β
Then Duanmuqin sighed and said: "As a result, something happened later, she once walked at night and was stopped by two little hooligans, but fortunately nothing happened, because the police came soon, so she was not violated." β
Fang Yujin raised his head and asked, "Since there was no violation, then why did something happen?" β
Duanmuqin shook his head in frustration and said, "No, Fang Yujin, you're too naΓ―ve to think about it. As it turns out, gossip is the most terrifying. I don't know how the events of that day spread in the class, and the more I talked about it, the more fucking exaggerated it became, and finally in some people's mouths, it actually became the version that she took the initiative to seduce those two hooligans. β
Duan Muqin slammed the table with his hand and said, "I only figured out later, my friend, she is a well-informed eldest lady, her family is very rich, and her temperament is also very good, so it is quite normal to be jealous." Evil in human nature knows no age, and rumors soon spread in the class, and even the teachers in other grades in the school knew about it, and everyone said that she was a slutty and began to alienate her. β
Fang Yujin thought: "Rumors are sometimes indeed more terrible than physical damage. β
Duan Muqin wiped the corners of her eyes with her hand and said: "Fang Yujin, the most terrible thing is coming, at that time, many people in the class began to alienate my friend, and I was actually one of them at that time, although I didn't show it, but she must have felt it, because she is the kind of girl with a delicate mind, not to mention that the estrangement between good friends is the easiest to perceive." β
Fang Yujin was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at Duanxylo.
The rumors became more and more intense, she became much haggard, her face was thin, and she couldn't stay in this school anymore, so she proposed to transfer to another school. It was a scene I will never forget, she was packing her things and walked to the door of the classroom, but when she reached the door, she paused and turned to look back at me, and the look in her eyes was ...... I don't know how to describe it, but it's truly unforgettable. Duanmuqin said as he raised his index and middle fingers and pointed to his eyes.
Duan Muqin lowered his head and sighed, and only said after a long time: "Fang Yujin, speaking of which, my friend can be regarded as having saved you once. β
"How did you save me? We don't know each other. Fang Yujin wondered.
"Remember that day at school, you said that the day you regretted the most this year was the day you met me? I couldn't help but beat you up, but you didn't bow your head or beg for mercy, but you just stared at me with straight eyes, and you looked exactly the same way as my friend, and you reminded me of her, so I stopped. β
Fang Yujin didn't know what to say, he thought for a while and then said, "Duanmu, the matter is over." β
Duanmuqin suddenly became a little agitated, and she said loudly, "What has passed?" Is this thing over to your friend? This sentence is a lie! Who the said time heals? It's a bullshit! Fang Yujin, I'm just like you, I often think about it, and sometimes it pops up when I'm proud to remind me of what I am. I didn't tell anyone about it, you have to keep it a secret for me. β
Fang Yujin nodded and said, "I know, I will definitely keep my mouth shut." β
Duanmuqin lowered his head and sighed and said: "But I also learned some very valuable truths from this incident, that is, more people does not mean that it is right, anyone will make mistakes, why should there be more people to be justified?" let the victims continue to suffer, what a bunch of beasts! Fang Yujin, I'm not afraid of your jokes when I say it, I always thought that Jingyu City was the capital when I was a child, and our capital people are more amazing and noble than people in other cities in China, but since I experienced this incident, I have a little despise Jingyu City and myself. β
Fang Yujin suddenly thought that he had always been proud of his life in Yuexiu District in the past, I am afraid that this is similar to Duanxylo's idea.
Duan Muqin raised his hand and put it on Fang Yujin's shoulder and said, "You remember my words." Could it be that if you Fang Yujin is wrong, everyone is not wrong at all? Your friend's death is indeed regrettable, but don't punish yourself with it. The driver and your friend who didn't look at the road are both responsible, you just got into a fight with your friend, it's not your fault. β
ββ¦β¦ That's my responsibility, right? How can I shirk ......"
"No, Fang Yujin, it's not your fault at all! You're just arguing with your friends, it's time to get out. Even if it's really your fault, it's been three years, and it's time to pay it back, right? Are you still planning to pursue it for the rest of your life? Duan Muqin said as he grabbed Fang Yujin's clothes with his hand.
Fang Yujin turned his head and said embarrassedly: "Duanmu, I know it's not appropriate to say this at this time, but I still have to remind you." You ate crayfish without wiping your hands and grabbed my clothes, but my spring and autumn shirt was given to me by my sister, this is a priceless treasure. β
Duan Muqin was stunned for a moment, and then looked down at Fang Yujin's clothes, just now because Duan Muqin was talking, he didn't notice that the soup of the spicy crayfish had already rubbed on Fang Yujin's white shirt with his hand, and it had been dyed red, and it smelled quite fragrant.
Duanmuqin's face flushed, and she said, "I'm ...... I'll fuck your mother, it's just a piece of clothing, and it's not enough to ask your sister to send another one! β
Fang Yujin touched his clothes and said, "Maybe this clothes can't be worn anymore." β
Duanmuqin frowned and said, "I've never seen such a stingy person as you, okay, okay, I'll compensate you for it." β
After the two of them finished eating the crayfish and washed the bowls, they went out together and stepped on the snow to the Dionysus Mall near the Duanxoqin community, and at the men's clothing counter, Duanxhao picked up a solid-color woolen coat and said: "If you are so thin, it is most suitable to wear this mid-length style." And it's wool tweed, so it should be very comfortable. β
This woolen tweed coat fits very well, Fang Yujin wore it and walked out of the mall with Duanmuqin, Duanmuqin turned his head and looked at his hands in his pockets Fang Yujin thought: "I don't know if he listened to what I said just now, I don't seem to have any reaction, I said so much in vain, shouldn't this guy be moved at all?" β
Suddenly, a beam of fireworks rose in the sky and burst into the night sky. The firelight immediately illuminated the faces of the two, and Duanmuqin said, "There are fireworks, go and see them." β
The two walked to the place where the fireworks were set off, and looked intently at the gorgeous fireworks that made a sound in the air without speaking, Duanmuqin suddenly said: "It's fast, it's slow, it's slow, 2037 will pass like this, although there will be winter fireworks in the future, but this year will never come back." β
"Do you miss this year?"
"Of course, there have been a lot of things that have happened this year, some happy and some sad, but most of them have been fun in retrospect. The happiest thing is, of course, that our team was able to win the first place in the Southern Division. Fang Yujin you, what is the happiest thing for you this year? Is it possible to enter the city team and receive a salary to support his family? β
"Probably meeting you, it really makes me feel like I've taken advantage of fate."
Fang Yujin's voice was a little soft, Duan Muqin wondered if she had heard it wrong, she immediately turned her head, and saw that the lower part of Fang Yujin's face was buried in a scarf, and her eyes were looking up at the brilliant fireworks above her head.
