Chapter 32: Memories
At night, the time was gradually approaching twelve o'clock, Deng Rui also felt a little sleepy, she rubbed her worried eyes and straightened up to refresh herself.
"I think you're right, the past is gone, but she must be important to your growth." Deng Rui's voice was a little hoarse, and the low-decibel voice was particularly harsh in this silent night.
Zhou Bohao's body, which had finally relaxed, tensed up again, he pursed his lips and turned off the computer, and walked to the sofa next to Deng Rui with an unnatural expression and sat down.
"In my memory, it's been a long time." Zhou Bohao looked up at the ceiling, and recalled: "She was a little girl who transferred in the first semester of high school at that time, and I was a very introverted boy with a very good personality at that time, and I was training in addition to studying every day. ”
Seeing Zhou Bohao speak, Deng Rui, who had spoken to his mouth, also quickly closed his mouth, she was silent and motioned for Zhou Bohao to continue.
"At that time, I was very tired and hard to train every day, and during that time my parents were going through the divorce, and I had a younger brother at that time, but after they divorced, my brother followed my mother, and I followed my father, so I suddenly had to separate from my brother, so I was not very happy because of some problems at home this semester." Zhou Bohao's eyes always looked at the ceiling, and he always had an indifferent smile on his face, and he spoke eloquently to Deng Rui.
Deng Rui knows something about Zhou Bohao's training, because he told Deng Rui before that he was able to be admitted to Southwest Jiaotong University not because of how top-notch his grades were, but because he entered this university as an athlete.
"I could have closed myself off at that time, and that's when I met her." Zhou Bohao then said: "Then Xia He was a very cheerful girl at that time, and when she came to school, she happened to be assigned to be at the same table with me. ”
Deng Rui's eyes narrowed slightly, it seemed to be an old-fashioned plot, there were not a lot of relationships at the same table in high school, and the kind of things that had feelings because of sitting at the same table for a long time were not less.
"At that time, I didn't like to talk very much, but Xia He was always chirping and talking next to me, and the training was too tiring at that time, so when I came back to class, I was lying on the table to sleep, but Xia He would call me up with righteous words to not let me sleep, often make trouble, and every time I got out of class, I would quietly copy a note to me." Zhou Bohao recalled, as if it was a good memory, the corners of his mouth rose a little, naturally, all this fell into Deng Rui's eyes.
"Slowly, I got used to Xia He always being by my side to help me, and then slowly my grades got better a little bit, and then I liked her a little bit, and I believe she definitely liked me too." Zhou Bohao's volume increased by one decibel, as if to emphasize: "But it wasn't because it was relatively simple at the time, I wanted to wait until the college entrance examination was over to confess to her." ”
Speaking of which, Zhou Bohao's mood dropped significantly, Deng Rui looked at him, and his heart was very uncomfortable, as if since the two met, Zhou Bohao rarely had a situation where his emotions were repeated in a short period of time because of some memories, and he was probably not a substitute for Xia He, and even Xia He had no one to replace him in his heart.
"And then." Deng Rui asked softly.
"Later, when I was in my third year of high school, I suddenly didn't come to class for a week, and I called her a lot but no one answered, and I sent her a lot of messages without replying." Zhou Bohao's eyes dimmed, and he recalled the pain that he had hidden in his heart in the past, and then said: "Later, about half a month later, the teacher told us that Xia He's family immigrated to Singapore because of some family circumstances. ”
His complexion seemed to have regained his composure, but Deng Rui clearly knew the strange pain in his heart, although Deng Rui had not experienced it and could not empathize with it, but just by imagining it, she could feel the heart-wrenching pain.
"Then that night I went downstairs to her house to wait for her, and when she came back from make-up classes in the evening, I asked her why she didn't tell me, because I think their family must have started planning a long time ago." Speaking of this, Zhou Bohao let out a long sigh, his face was a little lost, and his voice became a lot lower: "She said that this matter is not something she can decide and change, this is the reason in her family, because her father is going to Singapore for work reasons, so they have to go as a family, this is a decision that she has no way to adapt, because she can't be financially independent, there is no way to ignore their decision." ”
Speaking of this, Deng Rui couldn't help but sigh, she didn't expect that Zhou Bohao had already suffered the pain of being separated because of his weakness at that age, and it was no wonder that he now looks more mature than other peers and has to work harder.
"I can understand that Xia He must have suffered unspeakable pain at that time." Deng Rui said hoarsely, and his voice trembled.
"It should be, I was very disappointed at the time, and I think she must be empty in her heart." Zhou Bohao's eyes were a little red, and he twisted his head to the side and said with tears in his eyes.
"Later, Xia He left, and I still remember that I went to see her off when she was leaving, and she also turned around and said something to me, and I can still recall this sentence in my head to this day." Zhou Bohao suddenly looked at Deng Rui, and there was sadness in his eyes, which made Deng Rui's heart feel like he was being caught.
"She said she was happy to meet me and she wanted me to be happy forever." After Zhou Bohao finished saying this, his eyes completely dimmed.
The difference between the two people seems to be an understatement, and the two of them even face it indifferently, and no one shed tears because of this, but that kind of calm can make Deng Rui feel more pain, which is a kind of pain that surpasses what Zhou Bohao could bear at that time.
"Did you ever see each other again, or did you keep in touch?" Deng Rui felt that his breathing was a little short, and his breath was already a little unsteady when he said it.
"No, then her mobile phone number was changed, WeChat should have been changed, and then we completely lost contact, she seemed to disappear from this world out of thin air, and there was no news about her anymore." Zhou Bohao lowered his head in frustration, his voice became softer and softer, until it was completely indistinguishable like an insect chirping.
Zhou Bohao's emotional expression confirmed how important this girl named Xia He was to him, and this feeling made Deng Rui feel extremely heartache.
Ever since she knew about Xia He's existence, she knew that even though she had lived with Zhou Bohao for so long, Xia He's position in his heart was still unique.
