Chapter 146: Giving Up on Her and Giving Up on Yourself
Cloud City, Xu's family.
Xu Lin has been back for several days, but he stays in the room every day, no matter how he calls it, he usually only comes out to show his face during meal time, and he hurriedly finishes eating with a melancholy face, and quickly returns to the room.
Mother Xu is a woman with a very soft personality, and she usually follows him, but she can't help but be a little worried when she sees that he is always in her spirit, so she stopped Xu Lin at noon that day when she stood up and was about to go in.
"Son, you wait, Mom asks you something."
Xu Lin's expression did not change, and sat down in front of her, Xu Mu looked at him with a somewhat speechless look, he didn't speak, waiting for her to speak.
After a long time, he heard his mother ask cautiously: "Son, I see that you have been in a bad mood during this time, have you fallen out of love?" ”
Xu Lin was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect to hear these words from his mother's mouth.
But it was only for a moment, and he quickly reacted and shook his head slightly, "No." ”
It's just a wishful thinking of his own unrequited love, and it's still a joke, and that person never has himself in his eyes.
Mother Xu saw that his eyes were a little empty, and his expression changed slightly, and she knew that she had hit his heart, "Son, tell my mother, do you have a girl you like?" ”
He didn't hesitate for a moment, "Yes." ”
"Then she doesn't like you?" Mother Xu has always been confident in the charm of her son, and there are countless little girls who have written love letters to him over the years, and she has a headache every time she looks at their fanatical eyes for her son.
The damn charm of his own son, but when is it a head?
After seeing him go home, he was depressed a lot, and he just thought that something had affected him, who would have thought that his son, who had never touched a wall since he was a child, was actually trapped by love.
Xu Lin was silent for a while, his eyelashes drooped, his eyes looked at the floor, and he nodded, "Well, she has someone she likes." ”
Mother Xu was really shocked at this time, and organized language to comfort him, "Son, there is no grass at the end of the world, you are so handsome and so good, there are a lot of people who like you, let's not always put our hearts on that girl, although she may be very good and excellent, but after all, the heart belongs, right?" ”
Xu Lin didn't speak again, his eyes kept looking at the ground, the floor was polished, and he could see his reflection, his brows were slightly furrowed, and the expression on his face was not very good-looking.
I can't tell if it's loss or sadness.
This answer has been imagined countless times, but when it really comes, it still feels unbearable.
On the day of the end of the college entrance examination, he saw her and Yu Muyang standing under the tree, her face was full of smiles, and she was happy and relieved when she looked at Yu Muyang.
He once thought that as long as he worked harder and treated her better, she would definitely see herself, be moved by herself, and then like herself.
But every time he saw the two of them appear in front of him like beautiful people, he only felt that he was so ridiculous, he didn't know how to describe that feeling.
But he clearly knew that the position of the heart was dull and painful.
After a long time, he raised his head, looked at his worried mother, and pulled out a smile, "Don't worry, Mom, your son is not so fragile, I'll go back to the room first." ”
Xu Mu watched him walk towards his room, his steps were a little vain, but he still walked in quickly and closed the door.
Mother Xu sighed slightly, she never thought that her son would have a day when he was trapped by love, and in this world, the only love word hurts the most.
Xu Lin returned to his room, sat down at his desk, and skillfully took out two photos from the drawer.
The first is a graduation photo from elementary school, and the second is a graduation photo from high school.
The words on the primary school graduation photo are small, standing in the first row, looking at the camera expressionlessly, but at a young age, it gives people a feeling of loneliness, and the figure is so thin, it makes people feel distressed to look at.
The second is the current Yancuo, she has grown taller and has become smiling, the corners of her mouth are slightly raised in the photo, her eyes are also crooked, and her eyes seem to have stars, flashing with a light that makes Xu Lin almost lost.
Six years is not a long time, not a short time, but it is enough for them to miss it, and enough for her to meet a boy who she fell in love with at first sight.
Xu Lin has never been so envious of Yu Muyang as he is at this moment, because the stars in her eyes were brought by him, and it was he who made her laugh, sunny and cheerful, and become such an excellent and touching girl.
If she did it all over again, Xu Lin would definitely chase her to Ancheng and keep pestering her, and would never give others a chance to intervene.
But she can't do it again, now the ending has been written, even in the future, the names of the two of them will be on the marriage certificate, and she is just a passerby in her life.
In Xu Lin's eighteen years of life, there has never been a time when he was arrogant, he has been excellent since he was a child, he has heard a lot of praise, and he also knows what kind of existence he is for others.
I'm not bad, I'm really not bad, but Yancuo, why can't you try to like me? I can also do everything to be good to you, I also want to see you smile at me, and I also want to have a future with you.
Everyone else is dispensable and insignificant.
He pinched the photo tightly, and everyone else was automatically ignored by him, and there was only one her in his eyes, and she was smiling so happily in the photo, he really wanted to laugh with her, but he pulled the corners of his mouth, but he couldn't laugh at all.
He gave up, he gave up on her, and he gave up on himself.
He hid the photograph in the depths of his desk, and did not dare to take it out at will, it was something he would never dare to touch again, and he could not touch.
After doing all this, he lay down on the bed, closed his eyes, but his mind was full of her face, crying, laughing, stubborn, scene by scene, like a slideshow, projecting in his mind.
It turns out that they have known each other for so long, so long that he can now remember all of her appearances.
But so what, time will eventually scatter a lot of things, her face will become more and more blurry, and she will eventually forget her.
He shook his head and forced himself not to think about her, but it was useless, and the scenes were so clear, as if they had been engraved in his mind for a long time.
He stood up, looked out the window, and remembered the first time he had been here.
Because my mother was not in good health, my father found this place, where the scenery is pleasant, the folk customs are simple, and it is suitable for recuperation.
I am different to the children here, not only in dress, words and deeds, but also in my own conversation.
When I was a child, I always had a strong sense of vanity, and I liked to see them embrace me, as if I were an omniscient hero.
They ask themselves about the outside world, they ask themselves questions, they ask themselves for English, and he is happy to teach them, he never gets bored, because he enjoys being loved.
Until the appearance of words.
