Chapter 73: Memories

Outside, it was still dazzlingly bright, and the arrogant sun was looking down on the earth with great contempt.

At this moment, Wang Yu was sitting in a bumpy car. Although he escaped the scorching sun, he had to quietly endure the baking of the iron carriage.

The crowding and noise in the carriage made Wang Yu slowly turn his face out of the window.

Sweat slid down his cheeks, but Wang Yu didn't reach out to wipe it. He looked at the many people and things that were rapidly retreating, and at this moment his mind was full of his father's already slumped figure and his mother guarding the small fruit stall under the scorching sun.

Gently pulling the car window, with the gentle hot wind on his face, Wang Yu suddenly had an urge to cry.

Thinking that in the past seventeen years, he had just blindly asked for everything from his family, but he had never thought of doing anything for his family, Wang Yu couldn't help but slowly clench his fists and clench fiercely.

Before this, to be honest, because he didn't let himself play basketball, Wang Yu had always complained more or less about his father in his heart. He couldn't understand why his father had always been so adamantly opposed to his introduction to basketball, because he still remembers how happy he was when he was very young, when he suddenly told his father that he wanted to be a basketball player in the future.

But all this beauty changed completely when he was in junior high school because of an accidental injury.

Since that day, whenever he touches the basketball or lifts it up in front of his father, he has been met with endless scolding and reprimands.

For this reason, he quarreled with his father and rebelled.

Just as he was about to rejoice that his father was about to be unable or unwilling to restrain himself anymore, suddenly his father was diagnosed with a heart attack.

My father collapsed, he was hospitalized, and he suddenly grew much older overnight.

During that time, Wang Yu's whole person was completely bored.

Although he knew that all this might not be as serious as he thought, because he knew very little about his father's illness, he spent every day in fear.

During that time, my loving mother was unable to say anything to him because she had to take care of her hospitalized father.

Whenever he accidentally saw his mother secretly crying alone in the dead of night, the fear in his heart was immediately magnified infinitely, until it wrapped him tightly in it.

Suffering is often painful, but at the same time, it can also make people grow up quickly overnight.

During the time when his father was hospitalized, Wang Yu gradually learned to share some housework under the 'nourishment' of his mother's bitter tears, and gradually learned to go to the hospital to chat with his father whenever he had time.

Wang Yu actually didn't feel the changes in himself, he still knew about it from his parents' conversation after his father was discharged from the hospital.

I remember that at that time, my father half-jokingly and half-seriously told his mother that the time when he was sick and hospitalized was the most life-long period of his life.

Of course, his mother would ask why, and his father's answer made his mother count him down for a whole day.

I remember that my father seemed to say that he had a good rest because of his illness, and in addition to his wife's love, he was often able to chat with his son who hadn't spoken to him much for more than two years.

Later, I heard from my mother that she had listened to her father's words with tears in her eyes.

Haven't spoken to your father in more than two years?

Two years!

It's just because my father doesn't allow himself to touch basketball anymore.

Now think about how naïve, ridiculous, and hateful I was at that time.

In order for his son to have a better and brighter future, an ordinary and honest man, a man who never bows to anyone easily, has been waiting silently for two years.

Maybe it's fatherly love, who loves us, but never reveals it in words.

………

………

Thinking about the past, Wang Yu suddenly smiled faintly.

At the same time, it seemed that something was blown into his eyes, and the boy, who had secretly made up his mind not to play basketball again, was stunned and shed tears.

Don't wipe it, look out the window, smile and let it slowly dissipate in the wind on its own.

Just when Wang Yu was full of thoughts and emotions in his heart. The snail-like bus came to a halt.

Due to the effect of inertia, the originally crowded but laughing people in the carriage put on a variety of 'poses' for a while, and everyone knew that this was the driver who was going to stuff people up again, and then someone couldn't help but curse loudly.

Wang Yu sat on the seat by the window and smiled at the angry people in front of him, bored, and then turned his eyes to the car door.

In fact, it is not that he is unwilling to give up his seat, but in this case giving up his seat will not play any role at all, and those old people or children will not be able to get your kindness at all, because the people in this small place are often very strong, as long as you dare to get up, someone will immediately grab the seat, and it is the kind of righteousness.

Looking at the people who were sweating profusely but desperately squeezing up at the car door, Wang Yu's heart suddenly had a leisurely respect for the few gods who had just dared to speak abuse.

You know, short-distance buses like this are generally private, and often the husband is responsible for driving and the wife is responsible for selling tickets. These people are generally local snakes, and it takes a lot of courage to dare to insult them.

If you are not careful, you will be scolded at best, and you will be beaten at worst.

"What scolding, if you don't want to sit, let me go down. It's so hot, everyone is in a hurry, can't we help each other a little? Come and go, squeeze in... Auntie, take your things a little bit, come on, everyone will be a little bit..."

In the noise, a very loud voice sounded violently, immediately overshadowing all sounds.

Looking up, a sturdy middle-aged woman kept staring at the men who had just shouted insults while stuffing the guests into the carriage.

Looking at the few 'great gods' who were still scolding just now not far away, and immediately became very quiet at this moment, Wang Yu smiled sympathetically, then withdrew his gaze and slowly closed his eyes.

While waiting, there was finally a heavy sound of the door closing in his ears, Wang Yu exhaled a long breath, opened his eyes and looked out the window, and those familiar scenery finally moved again.

For some reason, the breeze that still had a little warmth on the face at the moment made people feel extra cool.

Wiping the sweat on his face, Wang Yu silently calculated the distance in his heart, and after coming to the conclusion that there was still nearly an hour to go, he couldn't help but sigh heavily in his heart.

Just wanted to close his eyes again and take a nap, when suddenly a familiar thing in the carriage suddenly came into his eyes, Wang Yu was slightly stunned, and then opened his eyes wide and looked over.

"How could it be so coincidental?"

Wang Yu smiled and beckoned to a girl who was carrying a sketchpad not far away, and said silently in his heart.

Looking at each other, the girl was also slightly stunned, and she didn't seem to expect to meet Wang Yu again here. When he came back to his senses, he also smiled and beckoned to Wang Yu.

This girl is none other than Xu Jiaman, the nurse of the school infirmary that Wang Yu met on the car home in the morning.

In the rolling crowd, she is like a small boat chasing Lang in the sea, helpless and pitiful. Even her originally bumpy and slender figure suddenly became weak, which made people no longer want to appreciate her, and immediately wanted to take her into her arms and protect her well.

Because the weather was too hot, and there were too many people in the carriage, Xu Jiaman gave up resistance after wiping a few handfuls of sweat on his face, withdrew his gaze at Wang Yu, and then with a wry smile on the corner of his mouth, he stretched out his hand and grabbed the handrail next to him tightly.

Thinking so wildly in his mind, seeing that there was no way to give up his seat to Xu Jiaman, Wang Yu immediately withdrew his gaze politely.

Shrugged helplessly, Wang Yu took out his mobile phone and just wanted to check if there were any text messages or calls, but at this moment, a very frightened cry rang out in the crowded carriage.

In shock, Wang Yu looked up curiously with everyone's gaze.

But in the next moment, the curiosity in his eyes disappeared instantly, and it was immediately replaced by full of anger.

"What are you working on?"

In the amazed eyes of everyone, Wang Yu screamed at the front, bounced up from his seat with wide eyes, and then strode towards the front of the carriage with full murderous energy.
