Chapter 41: Xiaoxue's strength and vulnerability
Soon the expatriate work ended with the scorching heat. On this day, it rained heavily in Yucheng, and there were no customers in the Crystal Palace, so colleagues crowded to the door to say goodbye to us. Zhou Haoran shook hands one by one like the head of state, but Luo Qian was more realistic, except for Lu Yuqin, everyone else was not too emotional, so it saved a lot of trouble.
Throwing my luggage into the trunk of the car, I explained a few words to Zhang Pengpeng and a few new employees, and finally said goodbye to Hu Mingming and Xia Xiaoxue.
Xia Xiaoxue behaved very calmly and openly, although she didn't say anything, she kept smiling. I was also very relieved to see her like this, waved my hand, got in the car and drove away. But after only walking dozens of kilometers, Hu Mingming called Luo Qian, and said on the phone: "Sister Luo, where is Lu Xia?" Let him see what to do! ”
The car had already driven towards the entrance of the expressway, and at this time, Luo Qian asked me to pull over quickly, and then showed me the video taken by Hu Mingming.
"This kid, crazy, isn't it?" Zhou Haoran glanced at the video and looked at me again, and there were a few more colors in his eyes.
Luo Qian also shook her head with a smile: "I can't see her ......, it's really deep!"
Looking at the thin figure chasing into the rain, his nose suddenly became sore, and his eyes were a little moist. Finally, under the constant urging of Zhou Haoran and Luo Qian, I turned the car around and drove back.
When she returned to the Crystal Palace, Xia Xiaoxue had already been pulled in by her colleagues, and she was curled up on a chair in the lobby by herself at the moment. I saw her drenched, her hair on her face, and her large, blank eyes staring at the floor, motionless.
When she saw me, Xia Xiaoxue hugged me head-on, and I felt her petite body tremble slightly, and a chill drilled into her body.
"Brother Lu, I know what he thought at the time."
Xia Xiaoxue didn't cry or make trouble, Luo Qian said that she was easy to get sick when her clothes were wet, so she sent her back to the dormitory.
"Brother Lu, let's go, I'm fine" Xia Xiaoxue, who was lying on the bed, said and turned her face, I couldn't see her expression, but that back made people feel distressed, and there was a kind of pain in the heart.
Zhou Haoran walked around the dormitory in a new way, picked up the apple on the table and took a bite, chewed it and asked, "Is it really okay?" It's dangerous to fall in love, don't let us go, you run to play suicide! ”
Hearing this, Luo Qian stomped on Zhou Haoran fiercely, pressed his throat and scolded him viciously.
I'm also worried that she'll do something stupid, although I know it's not, but what if? Who knows what she thinks now? Just like when I left before, she behaved normally, but when she left, she probably didn't know why she was chasing into the rain.
"Xiaoxue, there really isn't any need for this. It's not goodbye, there will be time to meet in the future. I sat down and patted her skinny back: "When we go back to Fei City, maybe we will work together again." I'll write you a copy when the time comes, okay? ”
"Hmm!" Xia Xiaoxue snorted softly in response. He didn't move or speak, lying quietly with his back to me.
Luo Qian saw that the time had been delayed so much invisibly, and she was a little anxious, so she glanced at me and Zhou Haoran, and let us go out first. Zhou Haoran and I walked out after meeting each other, and Luo Qian came out after a long time and made an OK gesture to us.
"That's it." Luo Qian said and strode forward, I don't know why, I was relieved to see the smile on her face.
"What did you say to her?" I'm a little curious.
Luo Qian smiled mysteriously and said, "Secret"
……
On the way home, Zhou Haoran complained that he caught up with the torrential rain when he came, and it was still raining when he went back. At this time, the car drove over the Yellow River Bridge, and the window was gray, and I didn't know whether it was the color of the sky or the color of the Yellow River.
At the end of September, we returned to Feishi, when Hu Shanshan had been teaching in southern Sichuan for a month, and she often told me about the local Tibetan life and took exotic photos to show me. The first thing I did when I returned to Feishi was to send him some snacks that I couldn't buy there, and the most noteworthy thing was that I made stinky mandarin fish on a whim and sent it to her. Hu Shanshan had great expectations, but found that she couldn't accept it, and she drenched the dog I scolded.
Sometimes I also feel nostalgic for life in Yucheng, those quiet afternoons and dusks. will often think of Xia Xiaoxue, and will reminisce about that understatement kiss.
But I rarely take the initiative to contact Xia Xiaoxue! I think that since I can't give her love, I shouldn't bother her anymore. Time is the medicine for all pains, and she will always forget and adapt.
We will be very busy during the National Day, there are all kinds of activities to prepare, but it is also the most gold in our year, maybe your performance list only has a few days to fill in.
is very different from Zhou Haoran Luo Qian's attitude of gearing up, I really planned to be promoted, and began to deliberate at home about various possibilities that could help me get promoted, and for the first time I found myself working so hard.
Sometimes I feel that if I throw myself into my career wholeheartedly, those unnecessary emotional entanglements can go away. But in fact, when people are too busy, they become lonely and sensitive. From time to time, when I felt empty from physical exhaustion, I would complain to Hu Shanshan, and even tell her that I was thinking about her.
In addition to Hu Shanshan, I sometimes have the urge to chat with Xia Xiaoxue, but I am restrained by myself.
One day, I was busy until late at night, and when I was lying in bed and scrolling through the circle of friends, I saw Xia Xiaoxue have a dynamic: a photo of the starry sky, accompanied by a string of text.
It's her usual style, sentimental, but also talented. I still vividly remember what she wrote in the brochure, and the words of chicken soup for the soul are very healing.
After reading Xia Xiaoxue's dynamics, I felt a little more in my heart, as if an ancient wooden door had been pushed open, and a cool breeze gushed out from it......
"When the most important of your treasures is lost, the rest, even if it is worth a fortune, will be dimmed and lost in your eyes. Even, you don't have the courage to open this treasure chest again, and you are not in the mood to touch them, appreciate them, and remember them......"
I think everyone has such a box in their heart, cherishing what you think is important.
One day, I lost something important to me, and I searched the world for ....... In fact, if you lose it, you will never be able to find it again, until one day you find something more satisfying. You begin to hesitate, you begin to hesitate, you begin to suffer and fight endlessly......
It's cruel, but it's also true! You may be conflicted and disappointed in yourself, but you have to live, and life must go on. No one is the only one, and no one can take you to death with .......
Therefore, I believe that Xia Xiaoxue will one day adapt to the loss, and she will also wake up and realize that what is lost is already an irreversible miss in life.
