No.256: I received that letter
When eating the next morning, Chen Xiaokui felt that Chen's mother was weird as soon as she left the room, where was the blame, Chen Xiaokui couldn't tell, Chen Xiaokui frowned and looked at Chen's mother who lowered her head and drank porridge but her eyes always drifted to her, she put down the porcelain spoon in her hand, looked at Chen's mother who was squeezing vegetables, sighed and said, "Mom, why do you keep looking at me this morning, is it that you have lost too much mahjong money"
Chen's mother glared at Chen Xiaokui and shouted, "Where did I lose money!" I can't you anymore! "It's a little weak-hearted, not as full of energy as usual, Chen Xiaokui drank porridge "How much"
Chen's mother immediately answered "one thousand eight"
Chen Xiaokui looked up at Chen's mother and laughed, "I heard you spend money on the bar yesterday, why did you lose so ugly?"
After finishing speaking, the tissue wiped the corners of her mouth, and before Chen's mother could speak, Chen Baichuan, who was up late, came out of the room with a yawn, and asked Chen Xiaokui while rubbing his eyes.
"Sister, aren't you going on a date, why are you still at home?"
As soon as the words fell, Chen Baichuan only felt that three lines of sight stabbed straight over!
Who is Mama Chen dating? ”
Dad Chen: "Who are you dating!" ”
Chen Xiaokui "......"
"With my homeroom teacher, a handsome guy as old as my sister!"
Chen Baichuan poked his head out of the toilet and said, "Shut up! ”
Chen Xiaokui turned his head and shouted at Chen Baichuan, turned around and found that Chen's father was sitting back on the dining table, looking at Chen Xiaokui with his hands on his chest and coldly and ruthlessly, Chen's father coldly threw out a sentence: "Confess leniently, resist strictly!" ”
After speaking, he was glanced at by Chen's mother, and looked at Chen Xiaokui with a smile and said, "What do you old man know, we Niuniu should be friends when we grow up."
Chen Xiaokui could only drink porridge and laugh a few times to cover up the evening, Chen Xiaokui set off half an hour earlier at the agreed time, she bent down and put on a pair of black thin belt small thick heels, Chen's mother stood at the door of the entrance, looked at her anxiously, and said, "Come back early after eating, did you bring your ID card?" ”
Chen Xiaokui was a little helpless, "I don't do anything if I bring it"
Chen Xiaokui put on a light makeup tonight, Chen Xiaokui's skin was fair and translucent in a pure black knee-length dress, and her hair that was usually tied up at random was also draped on her shoulders today, Chen Xiaokui opened the door "Mom, I'm leaving"
Chen's mother looked at Chen Xiaokui with cold eyes and said, "I also said that it was an ordinary classmate, why do ordinary students wear such a good look?"
Chen Xiaokui wanted to cry and turned around and entered the elevator without tears, went downstairs to pick up the car, and then went to the agreed destination after parking in the underground garage Chen Xiaokui looked at the time, there are still ten minutes or so, she doesn't have to worry, slowly walked to the hall, Chen Xiaokui saw Xu Xiangyang as soon as she entered, and Xu Xiangyang on the opposite side also saw her, stood up to greet Chen Xiaokui, and helped Chen Xiaokui pull out the chair.
Chen Xiaokui smiled and said "thank you" to Xu Xiangyang Xu Xiangyang helped the waiter serve the food, and put a cup of hot water in front of Chen Xiaokui, seeing Chen Xiaokui looking at him, he smiled and said, "I remember that you only drink hot water in junior high school, so help you ask for a cup of hot water"
Chen Xiaokui looked at him and suddenly said, "People will become ......"
Xu Xiangyang immediately said, "Then do you still drink hot water?" ”
Chen Xiaokui lowered her head to eat and said, "Drink"
Xu Xiangyang is very good at finding topics, and will take care of Chen Xiaokui's feelings, Chen Xiaokui didn't know what to say at first and felt embarrassed, now he can talk to Xu Xiangyang with a smile about the interesting things that happened in the previous trip, a meal eased the relationship between the two of them, Chen Xiaokui looked down at Xu Xiangyang who was concentrating on picking fish bones when he looked down to eat, it seemed to overlap with Xu Xiangyang who picked green peppers in the canteen ten years ago, and thought about whether he would leave this time.
Some things feel very luxurious even if you think about it, Xu Xiangyang saw Chen Xiaokui finish making up the lipstick and asked, "Have you eaten enough", Chen Xiaokui nodded, "Then I'll go to the checkout first, you go outside and wait for me, I'll take you somewhere." ”
Xu Xiangyang took out his mobile phone and walked to the counter, Chen Xiaokui was just about to say that she was going home, but after thinking about it, forget it, she will indulge this time.
Xu Xiangyang came out of the restaurant and saw Chen Xiaokui waiting for him, ran up and laughed and said, "Come with me, take you to a good place", Chen Xiaokui looked sideways at Xu Xiangyang's jaw, this young man still has the breath of a teenager, as if he is always walking forward with hope and blood, tired Chen Xiaokui and Xu Xiangyang strolled to a park, which was crowded, and there was a group of people playing under each tree, Chen Xiaokui asked Xu Xiangyang "Why are there so many people today"
As if he hadn't heard what she said, Xu Xiangyang leaned close to Chen Xiaokui's ear and asked, "What did you say?" ”
Chen Xiaokui felt that there was a cloud of heat in his left ear, and he felt that there was also a ball of heat on his face, and he heard the sound of his heart banging more intensely than the sound of smashing the wall upstairs!
Xu Xiangyang looked at Chen Xiaokui with a puzzled look and widened his eyes, silently asking her what was wrong, "I mean why are there so many people today?"
Chen Xiaokui raised his voice a little, this time Xu Xiangyang heard it, he smiled softly and said, "There will be fireworks here today, so there are more people coming." ”
Chen Xiaokui said, her hands clutched the small bag tightly, she would be very nervous by Xu Xiangyang's side, just when she wanted to retreat, Xu Xiangyang put her pocket, tilted her head and said to Chen Xiaokui, "I received that letter." ”
This sentence frightened Chen Xiaokui to look up at Xu Xiangyang, Xu Xiangyang seemed to be very satisfied with her expression and said, "I'm sorry, my reply hasn't been sent yet"
Chen Xiaokui looked down at her toes and said, "It's okay"
Xu Xiangyang walked up to Chen Xiao, stood face to face with her, and said, "I'm sorry, because I had a rather muddy life in the past few years, and I didn't reconsider pursuing a career in physics after reading your letter."
After speaking, he laughed at himself and said, "I didn't expect that someone would remember the dream that I couldn't even remember for so long."
Chen Xiaokui felt a little embarrassed, and explained, "When I was in the second year of junior high school, you talked behind my back every day about how good physics is and how good physics is, no one remembers it."
"But I almost can't remember"
Xu Xiangyang's voice is very soft, very light, light can be blown away by the wind and blown to an unknown corner, "My parents divorced when I was in high school" Xu Xiangyang took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, smoked one, and bit it without igniting it.
Chen Xiaokui couldn't help but look at him more, she had never seen Xu Xiangyang smoking, and Xu Xiangyang, who mentioned the past, was a little dim in her eyes, like a light bulb that had been shining and shining suddenly covered by a layer of black sarong.
Xu Xiangyang couldn't hold back the fire, looked at Chen Xiaokui and said, "My father is a physicist, it sounds very honorable, right, a profession dedicated to the country."
said and lowered his head and smiled sarcastically, "But this job is worthless in my mother's eyes, not to mention the lack of money, and it is not worth seeing." ”
Xu Xiangyang saw that there was a seat in one place, took Chen Xiaokui over, wiped it with a paper towel before letting Chen Xiaokui sit down for a long time after sitting down, Xu Xiangyang didn't speak, Chen Xiaokui didn't know how to speak, so he had to be silent with Xu Xiangyang, "The contradictions between my parents are increasing day by day, at that time, they quarrel every day, and my mother is always aggressive.
I disliked my dad in terms of money, and my dad didn't speak, so he was silent, and finally in my sophomore year of high school, I was sentenced to my mom after they divorced, and my mom didn't allow me to participate in physics competitions, and I couldn't bear to see my mom sad because of my affairs."
Because of the reason why he had just smoked, Xu Xiangyang's voice was a little hoarse, he turned his head to look at Chen Xiaokui, who was listening to him carefully, and said, "So, I gave up my dream"
Chen Xiaokui: "It's not your fault. ”
Chen Xiaokui thought for a long time, and finally threw out this sentence dryly.
Xu Xiangyang chuckled, "But I'm not the sunny and cheerful, confident and optimistic Xu Xiangyang you said."
"Do you remember the fight I had in high school", without waiting for Chen Xiaokui to answer, he said to himself, "I was very irritable during that time, as if the whole world owed me, and I was annoyed that even my classmates cared about me. ”
Chen Xiaokui: "Is it because of that girl?"
Xu Xiangyang said, "I don't like her"
He replied to Chen Xiaokui with a serious face.
"I don't know her well, she just happens to be there"
"I stayed in the South, an ordinary normal school, and just when I was making a fool of myself, I received your letter, very surprised, very, very surprised, I never thought that you would take the initiative to contact me."
Xu Xiangyang smiled and said that Xu Xiangyang smiled even more when he saw Chen Xiaokui's embarrassed appearance, "I thought about it for a long time in those days, and I thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to become a physics teacher." ”
"Thank you, Aoi-chan"
Xu Xiangyang leaned back on the chair a little lazily and casually, but his tone was very solemn.
Chen Xiaokui hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No thanks, you can figure it out yourself."
Xu Xiangyang said, "I still want to thank you, as a thank you, I'll take you to a place tomorrow."
Chen Xiaokui, who came back to his senses, held back for a long time, then let out a stiff sigh, and wondered why he accepted Xu Xiangyang's invitation again!
Suddenly, there was the sound of fireworks blooming in the distance, they all looked up together, and saw the colorful fireworks in the sky, racing against time to show their posture, Chen Xiaokui looked at Xu Xiangyang again, and found that Xu Xiangyang was also looking at her, she said word by word: "So what do you want to do with this?" ”
Xu Xiangyang brushed away the unknown flowers in her hair and said, "I just want to tell you that I don't think the beautiful Xu Xiangyang is, this Xu Xiangyang is not worthy of your love for so many years." ”
The current Xu Xiangyang can't compare to the young Xu Xiangyang that Chen Xiaokui likes.
The fireworks in the sky are still blooming, and the people in the park are also laughing, with a happy smile on their faces, Chen Xiaokui frowned and looked at Xu Xiangyang, "You, you are not qualified to say that you are not worthy of my liking, my liking depends on whether I want to or not."
Raised his eyebrows again and said, "And, how do you think I still like you"
After speaking, he snorted lightly and didn't look at Xu Xiangyang.
Xu Xiangyang didn't feel bad about being scolded for being self-righteous, he still smiled and said, "Yes, yes, I am not qualified." ”
Xu Xiangyang glanced at the time and said, "Let's go, go back and pick up the car"
Chen Xiaokui also watched the fireworks, nodded and promised Xu Xiangyang After watching Chen Xiaokui get in the car and leave, he stood there alone for a long, long time, he looked at the direction that Chen Xiaokui walked, Chen Xiaokui would never know how he felt when he received this letter, like a traveler walking in the desert found a water source, and that water source just appeared for him.
But by the coincidence of the parent-teacher meeting, Xu Xiangyang saw Chen Xiaokui sitting quietly in Chen Baichuan's position and looked serious, Xu Xiangyang regretted it again, and a dark voice in his heart kept telling him that it was her.
Chen Xiaokui, who had just arrived downstairs, received two messages before he got out of the car, Xu Xiangyang: I heard that you went everywhere I wanted to go, right?
Xu Xiangyang: My next stop is Daocheng, can I invite you to go?
The night breeze in late autumn is very comfortable.
Therefore, we don't have the youth we spend together, no one lives up to anyone, no one owes anyone who is difficult to reap, and deep affection will eventually succeed.
