Chapter 14 The person with the deepest affection will let go first
Li Weizhen's room is large, with a bunk bed, and a bookshelf attached to the desk, and the photos on the table should have been taken when we first met. In the photo, the little Li Weizhen is wearing a pure white taekwondo uniform, and the little Cheng Wangshu is wearing a red dance costume, and the two of them are holding hands, turning their heads to look at each other and smiling happily. Cheng Wangshu also has a photo of this, but the difference is that it was hung on the wall by himself.
"Let's get some milk and go to bed." Li Weizhen held a cup.
"You know, I don't like milk." Cheng Wangshu looked at the cup in Li Weizhen's hand with disgust.
"I know, so I added a lot of high Lego and chocolate flavors to the milk, and I will definitely be able to cover the fishy smell of the milk, good boy, drink it and sleep well." Li Weizhen coaxed Cheng Wangshu while stuffing the cup into Cheng Wangshu's hand.
"Okay, I'll try it." Cheng Wangshu reluctantly took the cup.
"Drink as much as you can, and give me what you can't drink." Li Weizhen also knew that Cheng Wangshu would definitely not drink it obediently, so he didn't prepare goodnight milk for himself.
"Your new cup?" Cheng Wangshu looked at the aqua blue transparent glass in his hand.
"Oh no, the cup you used before was accidentally broken by me, so I got you a new one." Li Weizhen stood on the table and watched Cheng Wangshu drink the milk.
"Well, it's pretty good, I thought it was given to you by some girl." Cheng Wangshu really thinks that this kind of transparent glass was given to him by a girl, and it doesn't look like this person would buy it himself.
"Drink, I'll turn off the lights."
"I can't drink it." Li Weizhen took the remaining half a glass of milk, drank it all and turned off the light.
Cheng Wangshu recognized the bed, and Li Weizhen prepared milk for Cheng Wangshu so that she could relax a little and sleep better. Cheng Wangshu slept on the top bunk, the quilt was very warm, and it exuded the same faint fragrance of laundry detergent as Li Weizhen.
"Have you been sleeping well lately?"
"It's okay, I slept very lightly, and the sound of my dad's lighter woke me up." Cheng Wangshu's tone was a little helpless.
"How so? Why have you been sleeping so badly lately? Li Weizhen knew that she had been sleeping badly since that incident, but she didn't expect it to be so serious.
"I don't know, I've been feeling uncomfortable lately, especially when my parents talk about studying, they don't want to stay at home, they always say, if it weren't for me, our family wouldn't have moved around the school, so my dad wouldn't be sick, and if I didn't study well, I would be sorry for them." I don't know what's wrong, but it's hard to think about it. Li Weizhen didn't hear the complaints and grievances from Cheng Wangshu's tone, but more self-blame, which she herself thought was the case.
"Do they say that a lot?"
"No, most of the time I don't say that, but it just makes me feel bad, I don't dare to talk to my dad, as long as he takes the initiative to talk to me, a little unhappy, my back will sweat."
"Then you can't sleep?" Cheng Wangshu couldn't see Li Weizhen's tightly frowning brow.
"At first, I could sleep, but then I felt scared, and I would wake up at the slightest sound."
"And then you're going to stay up like this?"
"It's not like staying up, because I don't feel uncomfortable, and I don't feel sleepy during the day, so I just hold on."
"Aren't you happy?"
"It's not that I'm unhappy, it's that I don't dare to be happy, as long as I feel a little more relaxed, I feel a deep sense of guilt, and I feel very sorry for them."
"Isn't there anything that makes you comfortable?"
"Yes, I want to go to the top of the mountain, see the clouds overhead, smell the flowers under my feet, listen to the wind in my ears, and want to be free."
"Okay, I'll take you there, you go to bed first, and I'll take you up the mountain."
Cheng Wangshu's dreams have always been chased by someone, sometimes a tiger, sometimes a zombie, and sometimes a chubby woman in a white robe.
In my dreams, I was always next to my childhood home or in the alleys under my grandfather's house, and those alleys led in all directions, but I couldn't get out, and the people behind me couldn't get rid of them, so I kept running and running in my dreams.
But this time, Cheng Wangshu suddenly felt that someone had grabbed his hand, and a familiar voice came from his ears: "Girl! Girl! ”
When Cheng Wangshu opened his eyes, he saw Li Weizhen standing beside the bed, holding his hand with a worried face.
"Are you having nightmares again?" Li Weizhen asked softly, his tone very gentle.
"No, it's not a nightmare, it's just a dream that someone is chasing me all the time, and I've been having such dreams a lot lately." Cheng Wangshu showed a smile and said softly to Li Weizhen.
"That's good, I heard that your voice was not right, so I got up and took a look, and then I found that you were sweating profusely, and you were crying all the time, trying to wake you up, but I couldn't wake you up."
"I'm fine, go to sleep, I'm going to go out tomorrow." Cheng Wangshu pushed Li Weizhen to signal that he could go to rest, but was pulled away by Li Weizhen, and he said in a gentle tone: "That's it, you hold my hand, and I'll go to sleep when you fall asleep." ”
Li Weizhen stood beside Cheng Wangshu's bed, and he didn't lie down until he heard Cheng Wangshu's breathing gradually soothing, but he couldn't sleep at all. Back then, he couldn't protect her, but he had to do something to keep her from being entangled in such a nightmare for the rest of her life.
The sun is always warm in the morning, Li Weizhen opened the blackout curtain when he got up, but retained a layer of gauze curtains, the sun shines on the quilt, and the body and face will make people feel better all day.
"Awake?" When Cheng Wangshu woke up, Li Weizhen was already fully dressed, sitting on a chair next to the table and reading a book.
"Well, what time is it, isn't it late?" Cheng Wangshu rubbed his eyes and asked in a daze.
"Fortunately, it's only 7 o'clock, I see that you rarely sleep peacefully, so I didn't wake you up, my parents have something to do, and I have prepared toiletries for you in the bathroom, go change your clothes and wash up, and then come to eat."
"Oh, okay."
After Cheng Wangshu finished washing, Li Weizhen had already prepared the dishes and chopsticks.
"I know you don't eat much in the morning, so I didn't make anything too complicated, sweetened soy milk and fried dough sticks, and specially boiled two tea eggs, you ate the egg white, and gave me the egg yolk." Li Weizhen said as he put a peeled tea egg in Cheng Wangshu's bowl.
"Okay, okay, you're still good to me."
"After eating, we'll clean up and we'll go."
When he was a child, Cheng Wangshu was still looking forward to the amusement park, but Cheng's father always said that those amusement facilities were too dangerous, and if they ran into it, they would be spared, so Cheng Wangshu was not allowed to do a roller coaster or something, and Cheng Wangshu didn't dare to play secretly by himself because he was afraid of his father's obscenity, so he simply "out of sight, out of mind." Don't come to the playground.
"It's better for you to play by yourself, I'll wait for you here, I'll ...... I was a little scared. ”
"It's okay, you hold my hand, you always have to try it, didn't you always like it when you were a child?"
"You must hold me!"
"Well, don't worry."
People are always like this, once the desire is opened, they keep asking for more, and slowly become bolder.
"Look, what I said, it's not as scary as you think, you rest here for a while, I'll buy water."
"No, I'll go with you."
"Aren't you tired?"
"Don't get tired, don't get tired, let's go together."
"Boss, two bottles of cold mineral water."
"Six dollars."
Li Weizhen handed a bottle of mineral water with the cap unscrewed to Cheng Wangshu, and the two of them were talking and laughing and walking forward, just by coincidence, a tall and familiar figure came towards Cheng Wangshu.
"Wangshu? Why are you here? You said yesterday that today's thing was with him? Song Ran's voice crashed into Cheng Wangshu's ears like this.
"Well, what a coincidence, yes, we celebrated our birthday together yesterday, and my aunt said that today happened to be the weekend, so let's go out to play." Cheng Wangshu's voice was a little uncomfortable, how could she explain that she had rejected his invitation and was now with Li Weizhen.
"Well, I also came out with my classmates." Probably because Cheng Wangshu was too nervous, when Song Ran mentioned it, she found that there were a few other people around Song Ran.
"Then you guys have some fun, let's go." This kind of scene is too embarrassing, Cheng Wangshu just wants to escape from this atmosphere as soon as possible, so he doesn't even think about grabbing Li Weizhen's hand and running away.
As a result, an even more embarrassing scene appeared, Cheng Wangshu pulled Li Weizhen, and Li Weizhen couldn't pull like a statue, Song Ran took Cheng Wangshu's hand and didn't let her run away, Cheng Wangshu was pressed there by two people.
"Let's stay with us." There was a slight anger in Song Ran's voice.
"You guys play, we have something else to do." Li Weizhen grabbed Cheng Wangshu's wrist, and the moment his resolute voice came out of Cheng Wangshu's ears, Cheng Wangshu really felt a lot more relaxed. Li Weizhen's protection is different from Song Ran's pride, his every word is taking care of Cheng Wangshu's self-esteem, just like this moment.
"Wangshu, I want to hear from you."
Cheng Wangshu looked up and saw his eyes, how to say this situation, this is simply the worst situation she has ever thought of since they first met. Throw Li Weizhen himself here, although he won't say anything, but this is our tacit understanding every year; Let Li Weizhen play with Song Ran's friends, probably both of them will feel awkward. However, if he left Li Weizhen like this, how would Song Ran explain this matter.
"I ......"
Li Weizhen still let go of his hand in the end, "Girl, didn't you say to eat ice cream first, I'll buy it for you, but we may not have much time, my mother said that we will go home for dinner together in the evening, we may not be able to go to the aquarium, you discuss with your friends, how to arrange the next itinerary." ”
It took me many years to understand a truth, in the relationship of three people, the person who always has the deepest affection will let go first, because he finally doesn't want the person he cares about to have a little bit of embarrassment.
"Okay."
"Song Ran, do you have any arrangements for the afternoon, I promised my aunt that I would go home for dinner, and we have already booked tickets for the aquarium, why don't we go together."
"Brother, we've just arrived, you really don't want to take your little girlfriend with you all the time." The person who spoke was known to Cheng Wangshu, Song Ran's classmate, named Xu Tianjin, who usually likes to play with him, probably because he saw his own embarrassment, so he solved the siege for himself.
"What's the matter with you, you go up to the side!"
Song Ran held Cheng Wangshu's hand and refused to let go, his strength was really great, and he happened to grasp the wound on his wrist, Cheng Wangshu kept gritting his teeth and holding on, not wanting him to see the difference.
As soon as Cheng Wangshu turned around, he happened to see Li Weizhen walking back with some drinks and an ice cream, and he saw Song Ran's hand grasping his wound at a glance. He frowned, then glanced at himself, and said nothing after all.
"How did you decide, whether we were going to play together, or whatever?"
"Song Ran, you play with your friends first, we are not familiar with everyone."
"Okay, call me when you get home." After saying this, he let go of his hand very calmly, fortunately he listened to Li Weizhen's words and took his bracer out of the house, otherwise according to Song Ran's strength, the blood would have oozed out long ago.
"I bought drinks for everyone, you can take them yourself, you're welcome." After Li Weizhen handed the drink to Song Ran, he turned his head to look at Cheng Wangshu.
Li Weizhen is a very satisfactory person who can handle everything, just like at this moment, he gave himself the condition that he could explain clearly to Song Ran under the pretext of buying water, and then gave Song Ran a drink in order to be generous, which not only eased the relationship between him and Song Ran, but also helped him make up for the guilt of delaying everyone's time.
"If you don't leave, you won't be able to go to the aquarium."
"Have fun, all of you, let's go." Cheng Wangshu didn't dare to say anything to Song Ran, and didn't care what his expression was, so he turned around and let Li Weizhen take him away.
didn't go far to find a chair and sit down, Li Weizhen helped Cheng Wangshu take off the bracer, and found that the wound on the wrist was torn open again, oozing a lot of blood.
"He didn't know you were hurt?" Li Weizhen asked with some surprise.
"I don't know, I didn't tell him, I usually hide my hands in my sleeves, and we don't see each other often, so he didn't see it." Li Weizhen's mood suddenly became a little better, she hid her own affairs and Song Ran, which means that Song Ran's position in her heart is nothing more than that.
"So you're just going to let him hold on to it like that?"
"Didn't you catch it yesterday?"
"You just said that I have the ability, why didn't I see you and him so sharp just now." Although Li Weizhen scolded Cheng Wangshu, he still took gauze and dressings from his bag and carefully helped Cheng Wangshu treat the wound.
"How do you go out with something like this?"
"Get used to it, you love to get hurt since you were a child, so you have carried these things in your bag for so many years, just in case you need it, don't you just use it, can't you be careful, your wound can't be torn, it will leave a scar."
Looking at the wound, Li Weizhen's brows furrowed, he was a little nervous yesterday so he didn't look carefully, but now he feels a little strange when he looks closely, the wound is neat and parallel to the wrist, no matter how he looks at it, it doesn't look like a string scratch.
"Got it, can you be lighter, it really hurts."
"The! It's time for you to be in pain, and you'll have a memory next time. Although he said this, Li Weizhen's movements were still a lot softer.
"What are we going to do in the afternoon?"
"O aquarium! I've bought all the tickets. ”
"Really go to the aquarium! I thought you were talking about it casually to help me out. ”
"When did I lie to you, didn't you say last time that you want to go and see the aquarium in the anime, and you want to see it too, so I'll satisfy you."
Cheng Wangshu looked at the boy in front of him who was helping him deal with his wounds, he remembered his favorite ice cream flavors, favorite clothing colors, favorite anime characters, and all the things about himself, as well as those wishes that he had forgotten, or things he said casually, he helped himself remember carefully......
"Thank you." Cheng Wangshu's eyes turned red somehow.
"What are you crying about? Did I hurt you? Looking at Li Weizhen's nervous appearance, Cheng Wangshu felt aggrieved, and he didn't know where this grievance came from, it may be the dilemma he was forced to be, or it may be the touching of his carefulness, in short, he shed two tears.
"No, no, it's just sand in the eyes." But Cheng Wangshu's awkward temperament just didn't want to admit it, so he said stubbornly.
"I'll see."
"No, no, it's all right."
"And we're leaving?"
"Uh-huh, let's go, I can't wait to see those fish." Cheng Wangshu took Li Weizhen's hand and ran out.
