Chapter 29: The Consequences of Choice
Xu Ningxue, who really couldn't look at it, stopped him, Cheng Mu paused, turned his head to look at Xu Ningxue who looked helpless, and had already walked to his side when he was puzzled, she glanced at him by the way, "Are you stupid?" Stuffed such a big one, did you think that there would be change falling out and returning it to you? ”
This is the first time Xu Ningxue has seen Cheng Mu stunned, his face is fair, so it is easy to see that he is a little red, but his cramped expression is slightly innocent, "Isn't it?" ”
This time, Xu Ningxue was stunned and sighed lowly, maybe it would be a lucky thing for him to find this bus and come back, if you want to expect him to know how much money to invest, forget it. She stared at him strangely for a moment, lowered her head and took out the change from her school bag, grabbed his hand and put the change in his hand, with a faint smile on her lips, "Who made me a good person, I lent it to you, remember to pay me back." ”
Cheng Mu looked at Xu Ningxue's back as she turned away, her slender and deep eyes stared at her hand and the change she left, the back of her hand seemed to still have the temperature on her hand, cold and cold, like a light rain in winter, although it was very strange, but it seeped into his heart, it was also cold.
Immediately, he quickly regained his original indifferent and unruly eyes, and under the strange gaze of the driver's uncle, he calmly threw the money into it.
At the back of the bus, Xu Ningxue sat by the window on the left, and Cheng Mu sat by the window on the right.
Xu Ningxue lay at the window and looked at the receding night scene outside the window, her face was curious about new things, she would bend her lips and chuckle a few times from time to time, her eyes were shining, and after the fresh curiosity, her face returned to calm, like a deep and clear pool of water, which she couldn't see clearly or guess.
Cheng Mu stared down at the phone, looking at a message on it, but he didn't reply to the other party for a long time, and finally, turned the phone over. On the car window, the shadow of a girl was faintly reflected, he was silent for a moment, picked up his phone again, clicked on a game, and focused on playing.
Two people in the same school or even two adjacent positions in the same class, were silent all the way, without a word of conversation, not even a glance at each other, according to the previous development of things, if the two people were silent, it must be peaceful, Xu Ningxue got off the car first, maybe she may not know, the next stop, Cheng Mu got off.
Xu Ningxue got off the car only a short way from home, not far, about a few minutes of walking, she saw the European-style villa appear in front of her, she stood at the door and paused for a moment, before reaching out to push the door open, raised her feet and walked in.
The flowers and plants in the yard seem to have just been watered, the air is filled with a characteristic smell of earth, and the yard is lit up with lights all around, so you can enjoy the scenery of the yard even at night.
But at this moment, she has no time to appreciate, and she still has to think about how to explain the late return this time.
Xu Ningxue changed her slippers in the entrance, walked into the living room, and whispered, "I'm back." ”
But no one responded to her, which seemed to be in her expectation, so she didn't care, when she changed her clothes and came down, she suddenly heard a melodious piano sound, the music sounded very good, and I felt a little familiar, but it was not played happily, and it was mixed with a trace of grievance in it, which made the listener's heart tug.
The person playing the piano was Du Qingyu in a plain dress, with her head hanging down, but her delicate face was tired, and her eyes didn't know where she was looking, and she was lonely.
I saw her playing expressionlessly, the front was still playing well, but the back became disorganized, and finally, she only beat it repeatedly on one key, monotonous, over and over again.
Xu Ningxue frowned tightly, if she looked closely, her expression was slightly painful, not only because of Du Qingyu's tired look and the previous complaining song, but also because Du Qingyu only repeated it over and over again on one key, whenever the same voice was repeated more than three times, she would feel upset and headache, which was her innate shortcoming.
"What's going on today?"
Du Qingyu seemed to have known that Xu Ningxue had almost walked to her side, and she didn't look back, just said in a cold voice, and then stopped repeating the action of a piano key.
Xu Ningxue rubbed the corners of her forehead and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but Du Qingyu's question made her stunned, but she soon understood that Du Qingyu was referring to the fact that she came back later than usual today.
She didn't make any excuses, she directly told today's events, she had an intuition, even if she made excuses, Du Qingyu might not believe it, maybe she already knew the truth.
Du Qingyu suddenly chuckled, "Why do you have to disappoint me?" Tell me, is there anything you can do well? ”
Xu Ningxue lowered her eyes and was silent, not defending herself for half a point, even in this matter, it was not 100% her fault, because she understood that Du Qingyu's heartless laughter was not only disappointed in her, but also ridiculed her.
Du Qingyu stood up, slowly walked to Xu Ningxue's side, stared at her for a moment, and then spoke: "You don't have to feel wronged, there is a deal between us, since you have made a choice, you must be ready to bear all the consequences, what you need to do must be the same as what I did for you, so you still don't understand?" ”
"Understand, I will definitely work hard, there will be no next time."
Xu Ningxue understands that Du Qingyu helped her pay for her father's hospitalization, and she must do her best in school to be able to equate what Du Qingyu did for her. That's right, no one forced her, this is the choice she made, no matter how hard and tired she is, she can't complain about others.
Listening to Xu Ningxue's answer, Du Qingyu nodded slightly, but she couldn't tell whether she was satisfied or something else, "The meal is on the table, take time to practice the piano after eating, and strive to have the opportunity to perform on stage on the National Day." ”
"Up...... Performing on stage? I can't. Before she had time to think about it, Xu Ningxue had already desperately shook her head and refused, she still wanted to perform on stage with such strength, and the jokes were almost the same.
Du Qingyu's sharp gaze immediately glanced over, "I can't help you, you have less than a month to go." ”
It was really unbearable for her, because she had no chance to refuse now, Du Qingyu no longer bargained with her, but turned around and went back to her room.
The night was getting deeper, there was silence in the dark, Xu Ningxue was still holding the rabbit doll with her eyes open, she wanted to sleep very much, but her heart was like pressing a big stone, and the dull feeling made her unable to sleep after tossing and turning.
Tomorrow when class is held, be sure to ask the class teacher to change positions.
With this thought in mind, Xu Ningxue finally fell asleep.
