Chapter 116: The Distance Between Two People
When she came downstairs, Grandma Qian looked at the stairs, and saw that Gu Xinyuan didn't follow, so she said a little embarrassedly: "Young master, I'm really embarrassed, I was so quick to talk for a while, I forgot!" β
"It's okay! She didn't notice anything anyway! After speaking, Ouyang Lu frowned and sighed a little sentimentally.
"Young Master, what's wrong with you? Get up on the wrong side of the bed? Seeing Ouyang Lu's sad face, Grandma Qian said with concern, "Although I can't help you much, I can still listen to you complain." β
"Hey!" Ouyang Lu sighed: "It's actually about her. It's just that lately I feel like she's not the same as she used to be. How to say it, I always feel like she is like a porcelain doll, as if she will be broken if she is not careful, the whole person is shrouded in a layer of sadness, and I don't know if it is my illusion, I always feel as if she intends to keep a distance from me, as if it seems to ...... Oops, I can't tell. β
"Aren't all adolescent girls like that? It's always cranky. Didn't you say that her grades weren't very good? Could it be because of grades? β
This is indeed one of the reasons, but from the mood changes when she speaks, it seems that it is related to her parents. As I told you, she grew up with her grandmother, and her parents had only been back for a year, and she didn't seem to get along very well with her parents. β
"It's really hard to get along well without being together since childhood. However, after all, this is an internal matter of her family, and it is difficult for us as outsiders to meddle in it, not to mention, even if her parents really hurt her, most of them are psychological damage, and others are even more helpless. β
Ouyang Lu grabbed his hair and said sadly, "That's right. That's why I can't do anything about it, hey, I feel so powerless, she's in so much pain, but I can't help her. β
Grandma Qian patted Ouyang Lu's shoulder lightly and said: "Everyone has their own path to take, and there are difficulties they must overcome, if she can take this step, she will definitely become a great person, if your fate is destined by God, there will always be good results, but if you are too persistent, I am afraid that it will be self-defeating......"
Ouyang Lu shook his head and said stubbornly: "I don't believe in what is destined!" I only believe that my fate is in my own hands! β
What a teenager's heart!
Grandma Qian shook her head slightly, and said with a smile: "Okay! If you feel right for yourself, do it! But be careful. β
Ouyang Lu said: "Hmm! I know, don't worry! β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Gu Xinyuan, who stayed in the room, flipped through the comic books at will, but he couldn't calm down, so he visited Ouyang Lu's room.
"He's got a lot of books! This bookcase looks so good! What do you say about reading some books before going to bed, this bookshelf is obviously full of comic books! Hey? What's this box? β
Gu Xinyuan saw a box on the left side of the bookshelf, so she opened it and looked at it, and found that it was Ouyang Lu's test papers, she rummaged through them and said to herself: "Hey, I didn't expect so many test papers!" Hey, we don't have to have this less test paper! Oops, that's a lot! That's an exaggerated score, isn't it? Oh, my God! Noticing that the scores on each of the papers she opened were almost perfect, she sped up her hand, and then flipped through a dozen more sheets to find that it was still the same. An indescribable inferiority complex suddenly flooded her neck, making her feel breathless, she silently stopped the movements in her hand, and moaned to laugh at herself: "Gu Xinyuan, Gu Xinyuan, if you don't say anything else, just talk about your grades, and you will be left behind!" Even if you don't sleep every day and study all day and all night, you won't be able to get such a result! β
Putting the upsetting test paper away, Gu Xinyuan felt a deep sorrow in his heart: "Thinking about the meal I ate just now, it was so rich, I'm afraid it wasn't specially prepared for me, an inconspicuous guest, right?" Most of them eat like that on weekdays. Hey, if you say that, I often hear people in the school say that Ouyang Lu's family seems to be very rich! Ay! Can someone like me be worthy of him? Hehe, it's worthy, he and I are just ordinary classmates, no, now we're not even classmates, just acquaintances...... Although I heard him say that he liked me in my sophomore year of high school, how can I guarantee that he still likes me? Besides, I can't even figure out what's good about myself...... yes, what's wrong with me? Is it just the looks that can be seen? But as my mother said, how many people in this world are more beautiful than me? Besides, if his academic performance is good, he will definitely go to B University in the future, and my grades are ......."
Ouyang Lu's gentle smiling face flashed in his mind, Gu Xinyuan shook his head, sighed deeply, and became guilty: "Oh, how can I think so?" I should be happy, how can I not see others? This is not right! Why is my mind so dirty? Tsk, I feel like my mom now...... I heard from the women in the village that when my daughter was forty or fifty years old, she looked exactly like her mother, and even behaved very similarly. When the time comes, maybe I'll be like my mother, and I won't want to do anything serious except staring at my husband all day long. Oh my God, that's really scary, it's worthless, and it's not happy. But in the end, I am my mother's daughter, and in the end, I will become a person like my mother, a person like Ouyang Lu, if there is a woman like me who is useless and can only nag all day long, most of them will not be happy, right? Yes! Definitely not going to be happy! What's more, I don't even know if I'm a clean person, and if he asks me then, what should I say? yes, he should be with someone more suitable, not me, I'm really bad......"
Parents turned their inferiority complex into a word, unconsciously sown in the head of this ignorant girl, with the passage of time, the changes of circumstances, feeling deep in the heart of the seeds that exude the smell of decay, through the mouth of some ignorant people in life conveyed by the vicious concept unconsciously silently watered, it slowly began to sprout, even if the girl knew that it should not be allowed to grow, but she was powerless and unable to stop the power that was enough to pierce the heart, She could only struggle forward in pain, and even she didn't realize that her heart was already full of wounds......
"Oops!" Gu Xinyuan slapped his face violently, and blamed himself: "Why am I thinking crankily again!" No way! Gu Xinyuan, you are you, do you believe what others say and write? You should believe in yourself! Right, right! I shouldn't be so arrogant, why don't I deserve it? I just like Ouyang Lu, I just like him, I don't just like him, I want to marry him in the future, uh, no, not to marry, yes, yes, I want to marry him! Haha, I'm so thoughtful. Ahββ!h She covered her mouth and smiled, but as soon as she looked up, her smile immediately froze, her face turned red with shame, her mouth opened slightly, and she whispered in a crying voice: "That, that, if I say I don't mean that, you, do you believe it?" β
"That, that-" Ouyang Lu stood at the door with a flushed face, first shook his head, then nodded, was silent for a while, turned his head slightly, gently covered his mouth with his right hand, and said softly: "I heard it all, you can't talk and not talk!" β
"Huh?!" Gu Xinyuan looked at Ouyang Lu's flushed face, feeling that he could almost hear the throbbing sound of his heart, and repeated a sentence knowingly in his heart: "What does he mean by that?" β
Ouyang Lu stared straight into Gu Xinyuan's eyes for a long time, and his serious eyes seemed to say-You know what I mean by this, don't try to pretend that you don't know anything!
Time seemed to stand still, the boy and girl stood less than ten meters away from each other, because they were shy and neither of them wanted to move a step, but the shy heartbeat between each other blended together, in this very close and far distance, with words to tell the unspeakable love of two people.
"Xiao Lu, you-" Grandma Qian saw Ouyang Lu standing at the door of the bedroom in a daze, and asked suspiciously, "Why don't you go in?" Stretching out his head to look inside the house, he saw that Gu Xinyuan was also in a daze with a red face, and suddenly felt very funny, and hurriedly tiptoed away, and said while going downstairs: "Oops! This young man is in love, it's just fun! β
"Huh? That, did Grandma Qian come just now? Gu Xinyuan said towards the door.
Ouyang Lu said: "Huh? Oh! It seems to be coming! Well, I'll go see what's going on with her! β
"You wait for me first, and I'll go with me!"
"I'm not waiting for you!"
"Stingy!"
"That's right! I'm just stingy! β
The two of them came downstairs while arguing, and found a cut melon on the coffee table, so they sat down and ate it together.
"Is it delicious?" Ouyang Lu asked.
Gu Xinyuan nodded seriously and said, "Hmm! It feels so sweet! β
"Really?" Ouyang Lu frowned slightly and stared at his watermelon, shook his head and said, "I don't think it's particularly sweet?" Wouldn't your piece be a little better? β
Gu Xinyuan said with a smile: "How is this possible? It's the same piece of melon that you cut! β
"Can I lie to you? I've heard that a small piece of a melon is particularly sweet, and I think your piece must be the one that is particularly sweet! Ouyang Lu was talking nonsense seriously, and when he saw Gu Xinyuan's disbelief, he sighed and pretended to be sad: "Every time I eat melons, I can't eat the sweetest piece, hey!" β
"Really?" Gu Xinyuan couldn't help but question, but seeing Ouyang Lu's serious face, he said, "Then why don't you take a bite?" As he spoke, he took a new toothpick, pricked a piece from his share of melon, and handed it over.
Ouyang Lu stared at Gu Xinyuan's face, gently bit the melon, a smile rose at the corner of his mouth, and said softly: "Hmm! It's really sweet! β
Gu Xinyuan looked at Ouyang Lu with a smug face, and reacted instantly, she blushed and said angrily: "You are teasing me? It's annoying! As he spoke, he snorted and picked up a piece of melon and stuffed it into his mouth.
"That-"
"What?" Gu Xinyuan interrupted Ouyang Lu's words, and said angrily, "I won't fall for you again!" β
"No!" Ouyang Lu said with a smile: "I want to tell you that the toothpick you are using now is the one I used just now!" β
"Huh?!" Gu Xinyuan looked at the toothpick in his hand, thought about it instantly, and said comfortingly: "That, you must not have touched it just now, right?" β
"No!" Ouyang Lu smiled and said in an exaggerated tone, "I opened my mouth wide just now and bit it, so my lips touched, maybe I have some cold on my mouthββ"
"What?!" Gu Xinyuan covered his mouth with a flushed face, and said shyly, "Then, isn't that an indirect kiss?" β
Indirect kissing?!
Ouyang Lu was stunned for a moment, his face turned red, and he stammered: "I, I didn't mean that, I, I-"
"IβI'm leaving!" Gu Xinyuan stood up abruptly and packed up his things, "Let's go to the class to study in the afternoon, then, that would be better!" β
"Oh, oh! Good! I'll send youβ"
"No need!" Without waiting for Ouyang Lu to finish speaking, Gu Xinyuan ran out of the smoke.
