Chapter 63: Xu Na and Ji Yu
There are two women sitting on the "Sister Na Teahouse", one is Huang Ying, the other is Xu Na, Xu Na asked: Do you really want to know about me and Ji Yu?
Huang Ying replied: Yes, tell me about it.
Xu Na said: I haven't told anyone about the two of us, so I'll tell you today, we were college classmates, and that was fifteen years ago......
In the fall of 2001, after graduating from university, Xu Na, Li Xue and Ji Yu came to Luancheng together after taking the TOEFL test. Because it will take some time before the TOEFL test results are out, in order to make a living, Ji Yu and Li Xue defected to Xu Na. They are classmates and have a very good relationship, Xu Na is a native of Luancheng and is alone, Li Xue and Ji Yu live in her house.
Xu Na's home is in a small town called Luangang, fifty miles south of Luancheng, there are two small square meters of housing, Xu Na and Li Xue live in the south house, and Ji Yu lives alone in the north house. The three of them quickly found jobs, and while they worked for a year to wait for the results of the exams, they lived happily.
The three of them made a pact that whoever took the TOEFL test, the other two must give their full support, and of course they were all looking forward to this opportunity.
In the late autumn, less than two weeks before the admission time, the couple decided to go to Luancheng to buy some winter clothes, planning to leave the town beautifully after admission and embark on the journey to study in the United States.
The shuttle bus to Luancheng runs once a day in the morning and in the evening, passing through the town at 7 a.m., and the station is at the west end of the town. Because Li Xue spent a lot of time putting on makeup and dressing up, it was close to 7 o'clock when she walked out of the house, and the three of them hurried to the Xiaoshiqiao shuttle bus station for fear of missing the shuttle.
The shuttle bus was a few minutes earlier than usual today, and by the time the three of them reached the small stone bridge, the shuttle bus had already passed slowly from the west side of the road. Li Xue screamed: Run! ran first, Ji Yu and Xu Na immediately chased after them, and soon overtook Li Xue. The shuttle bus passed by the three of them, perhaps because the driver saw them rushing to catch the bus, and the shuttle stopped at a stop where no one was waiting. The first to run into the car was Xu Na, followed by Ji Yu, and they shouted at Li Xue: Hurry up, hurry up......
Li Xue was dragged by Ji Yu to the car door, she was already out of breath, and suddenly collapsed into Ji Yu's arms, and whispered: I'm tired to death, hug my daughter-in-law. Then she put her face on Ji Yu's face and looked like a bird, and Xu Na on the side pouted at them.
In the morning, there was a light fog, the road was covered with a thin layer of fog and frost, the shuttle bus started slowly, suddenly, the shuttle braked urgently, the body swayed, and more than a dozen passengers on the car were thrown to the right car gang. The accident happened, because the shuttle bus did not close the door in time, Li Xue was thrown out of the car, and Ji Yu instinctively went to catch Li Xue and was also taken out.
Someone fell! Xu Na yelled and jumped out of the car desperately.
Ji Yu hugged Li Xue tightly and rolled on the road several times, Xu Na ran over and struggled to pull Ji Yu up, and then saw Li Xue lying quietly on the side of the road, staring at them with frightened eyes. Ji Yu and Xu Na leaned down and shouted vigorously, but she didn't answer. Ji Yu picked her up, only to find that her long hair was oozing with bright blood. Ji Yu was stunned, he looked at Xu Na and called, but Li Xue still didn't react.
Xu Na was more sober, she ran to the middle of the road to stop the passing car, Ji Yu picked up Li Xue and rushed to the middle of the road, kneeling in front of a slowing down truck...
The doctor solemnly told them that Li Xue had a serious trauma to the back of her head, a ruptured capillary, and needed a craniotomy, and told them that she was going to pay a total of 100,000 yuan for surgery and hospitalization. Fortunately, the traffic management department asked for 50,000 yuan for them to temporarily solve the hospitalization expenses. At this time, Ji Yu basically lost his normal thinking ability, and stayed in the hospital every day, waiting for Li Xue to wake up.
A week has passed, Li Xue has no signs of awakening, Ji Yu is almost on the verge of a nervous breakdown, he blames himself for Li Xue's injury, blames himself for not protecting his lover, I am afraid that Li Xue will not be able to wake up again.
At this time of grief-strickenness, the TOEFL test results came, Ji Yu and Xu Na opened the admission notice with trembling hands, with Ji Yu's name written on it, it was really fate to play tricks on people, but it was Ji Yu who was admitted to a university in the United States, it is not too much to describe Ji Yu's mood at the moment with a mixture of joy and sorrow, Ji Yu reluctantly threw the notice to the ground, he said: Give up! Li Xue must not be left to go to the United States.
Xu Na also came back to her senses for a long time, and she looked at Ji Yu's eyes that almost lost their brilliance and left silently.
In the evening, Xu Na brought a tape recorder, she called Ji Yu outside the hospital and turned on the tape recorder, and Li Xue's voice came from the tape recorder: Dear Yu, my love, I will count on you for the rest of my life, Xu Na and I are not as good as you, and I am afraid that you have hope for the TOEFL in the end, don't forget that you will only have a chance after you return from study, and you can make a lot of money, so that our life will be better, and you can't be ungrateful, you can't dump me, and you can't ignore Xu Na.
Ji Yu cried, he knew that this was a recording of the three of them encouraging each other a few days ago, and at the same time understood Xu Na's intentions. Xu Na dragged Ji Yu to the doctor again, and the doctor said: Your girlfriend is a minimally invasive intracranial capillary hemorrhage, and she will wake up naturally when the blood is absorbed, and it is expected that it will not take long...
Ji Yu's heart was somewhat relaxed, he followed Xu Na to a nearby restaurant, he hadn't eaten anything for three days, and the two chatted while eating. Xu Na said: Go to the United States, this opportunity cannot be missed, this is our long-cherished wish.
Ji Yu asked suspiciously: I left Xiaoxue, you will take care of it?
Xu Na said: Can't you still believe me? Leave her to me.
Ji Yu was silent, in fact, Ji Yu was always very conflicted in his heart, how could he not want to study abroad? This is his dream for many years, in fact, he believes in Xu Na very much, and he knows that Xu Na will take care of Li Xue. Ji Yu finally decided to hand over Li Xue to Xu Na to study in the United States.
A week has passed in a blink of an eye, and Ji Yu has arrived in the United States and started his higher education. At that time, there was no such developed network system as today, and there was no way to video and voice, making long-distance calls was not only inconvenient but also very expensive, and Ji Yu could only rely on sending letters to contact China.
He wrote five letters to Xu Na in a week, and he didn't see Xu Na's reply for two weeks, and there was still no news after a month. Ji Yu was worried, he had a hunch that Li Xue might have a big problem, where did he still have the heart to study, he sent the last letter, in which he made his decision, wait another week if he has not replied to the letter, he will drop out of school and return to China.
The letter is written like this: Xu Na, I didn't get the news of Xiaoxue's recovery, I have a hunch that she is still struggling with the pain, I am so worried that I can't study normally, so I plan to return to China and wait by her side, I can see it at a later date, Ji Yu.
Less than a week after the letter was sent, I received a reply, and the letter turned out to be a reply from Li Xue, writing: Dear Yu, I have regained consciousness last week, Xu Na took good care of me, and I will be able to work in the field in a few weeks, you must not worry about me, study with peace of mind, I am waiting for you to return from school, we will get married at that time, don't let me down, lover Li Xue.
Ji Yu burst into tears when he saw the familiar handwriting, and he secretly said in his heart: Xiaoxue, as long as you are well, I promise to get you back a satisfactory degree.
Since then, Ji Yu has settled down, and in four years, he and Li Xue have exchanged a total of 60 love letters, they tell about sweet love and longing for the future, it can be said that these 60 love letters gave Ji Yu endless motivation, so that he completed his studies with full honors and got a master's degree as he wished.
Ji Yu refused to be retained by the American company and resolutely decided to return to China, he wanted to return to Li Xue's side, find a good job to give Li Xue a good life, and of course, he also wanted to repay Xu Na for taking care of his fiancée for four years.
On Chinese New Year's Eve in 2005, Ji Yu set foot on the land of Luangang Town with longing and longing, and the Luangang Town at night was full of blooming fireworks and deafening firecrackers, and when Ji Yu walked on the small stone bridge covered white by the heavy snow against the heavy snow, he could no longer suppress his excitement and shouted at the river: Hey! Dear Xiaoxue, I'm back!
Running up to the second floor with a banging mood, he slapped the snowflakes on his body in front of the door, and deliberately took out the master's degree certificate from his arms and gently rang the doorbell. After a long time, there was the sound of footsteps in the room......
Who is it? What's the matter at such a late hour? As the door slowly opened, Xu Na's glasses that were almost the bottom of a bottle swept over Ji Yu's body, and her face immediately showed a look of surprise, Ji Yu's face was close to Xu Na's glasses and shook it and said: Sister Na, it's me, I'm back.
Xu Na's face suddenly bloomed like a flower, she dragged Ji Yu into the house, and asked a little flusteredly while pouring water. Ji Yu found that Xu Na was wearing a plain cotton dress, but the glasses on the bridge of her nose were thicker, like the bottom of two bottles. Ji Yu also felt the breath of the New Year, there were still leftover dumplings and two pairs of chopsticks on the table, but he didn't see Li Xue. Ji Yu drank a glass of water and forced the doubts in his heart and asked: Xu Na, what about Li Xue?
Xu Na didn't answer him, but still asked him about studying in the United States, Ji Yu handed her the master's degree certificate, she held the certificate in both hands and kept trembling, she almost put the certificate on the lens of her glasses and looked at it, and kept saying in her mouth: Okay! All right!
Ji Yu asked anxiously: What about Li Xue?
The expression on Xu Na's face disappeared instantly, and she pointed to the north house and said, "Go see her."
Ji Yu walked into the north house where he lived before, and the scene in front of him stunned him, a fat woman sitting on the single bed he used before was watching the fireworks outside, obviously a fool.
Ji Yu set his eyes on Xu Na. Xu Na said silently: It's Li Xue.
Li Xue? Ji Yu looked at it carefully, and it took a long time to see Li Xue's traces from the corners of the silly woman's eyes and eyebrows, he squatted down and approached her and asked: Xiaoxue, do you still know me? I'm Ji Yu, I'm back.
Li Xue turned her face to him, and a familiar light flashed in her eyes, as if she recognized it as her lover, but she disappeared in an instant, and her eyes still looked out of the window again......
Ji Yu's heart was broken, and he shouted loudly: Xiaoxue, what's wrong with you? Xu Na, what's wrong with her? This can't be, you tell me, how did you get Xiaoxue like this?
Xu Na timidly replied: Li Xue is like this after being discharged from the hospital.
Ji Yu said: No, he is already fine, we have exchanged dozens of letters, how can she write letters like this?
Xu Na said: I wrote those letters for her.
After hearing this, Ji Yu asked puzzledly: Impossible, I know her handwriting, don't lie to me.
Xu Na said: I imitated her handwriting.
Ji Yu was a little surprised and asked: What did you say? Did you talk to me for four years and write 60 love letters?
Xu Na lowered her head and replied: Yes.
Ji Yu asked again: Didn't the doctor also say that she could recover?
Xu Na said: That's what I asked the doctor to say.
Ji Yu asked desperately: Why? Why are you doing this?
Xu Na raised her face and stared at Ji Yu and said: In order for you to complete your studies, Li Xue is already like this, even if you give up your studies, what's the use, as long as you come back from your studies, you will not live up to Li Xue's expectations of you......
Ji Yu shouted: Don't say it, I don't believe it, and I won't forgive you.
Ji Yu couldn't control the desperate blow anymore and rushed out of the door sadly, he ran to the small stone bridge, he looked at the frozen river and let the snowflakes and the breeze beat his face, he never thought that the return he had been looking forward to for four years would be such a result, his heart was as cold as snow.
Two hours later, he felt the cold, his body was shivering, the cold made his mind gradually calm down, he thought of Xu Na, she took care of Li Xue for four years without complaint, she was afraid that she was not married, why did she sacrifice herself? Isn't it just for Xiaoxue to be taken care of? Ji Yu suddenly realized that without Xu Na, there would be no study for him today, Xiaoxue would probably be dead a long time ago, and it was Xu Na who exchanged her happiness for Xiaoxue's comfort.
Ji Yu couldn't help but shout: Xu Na, I blame you!
When Ji Yu turned around and was about to go home, he saw a snowman standing at the other end of the small stone bridge, holding a cotton coat in her hand, and her rickety body was looking at him. Ji Yu couldn't hold back the tears that came out of his eyes anymore......
Huang Ying sat opposite Xu Na and listened quietly, and when Xu Na said this, tears flowed down her cheeks.
Huang Ying handed over a tissue and said, "Give it to Sister Na, what happened later?"
Xu Na said: Later, Ji Yu entered the "Luancheng Evening News" under my recommendation and became a reporter, and he married Li Xue that year.
Huang Ying said: You still can't let go of Ji Yu in your heart after living alone, right?
Xu Na said: It's not all, it's difficult to find a satisfactory person after missing the age of marriage, and I'm afraid it will be even more difficult in the future.
Huang Ying said: Li Xue thanks to you for taking care of her.
Xu Na said: She is my classmate and my sister, not to mention me and Ji Yu... I will take care of her until the day I leave, who would have thought that Ji Yu would be killed. Xu Na's tears fell again.
Huang Ying handed her a tissue again and said: I didn't expect you to have such a deep relationship with Ji Yu, of course, and Li Xue, Ji Yu is a righteous reporter, and I will take care of her with you when we finish what we need to do.
Xu Na smiled and said: You can say what you need me to do.
Huang Ying said: I'm holding a treasure appraisal conference, and someone will tell you that person's phone number, here's the thing......
