Chapter 8: Encounter Again 6
Xiao Ye and Xiao Han haven't had such a hearty fight as today for a long time, after taking off the gloves, Xiao Ye went to get two bottles of water, and came over to hand a bottle to Xiao Han, who was resting on the edge of the ring. Xiao Ye rolled a few beads of sweat on his forehead, unscrewed the cap of the bottle and drank half a bottle of water: "I thought my father had another task assigned to me today, but it turned out to be playing with this." ”
Xiao Han unscrewed the cap of the bottle and looked at Xiao Ye without saying anything: "Your father told me that you have met a few friends on the Internet?" Xiaoye, it's indeed a good thing to make more friends, but ...... You have also grown up, and you have your own concept of right and wrong, and we really shouldn't interfere in this kind of thing......"
Xiao Ye's enthusiasm for an afternoon of playing was scattered cleanly, and the water in his hand was swinging, and asked Xiao Han: "Why do you like it...... Dad? ”
Xiao Han was stunned for a moment, and said with a straight face: "I know what you are thinking in your heart, and I have also thought about it, you will have to ask this question sooner or later." Let me tell you this, if you fall in love with someone, but he is such a person, what can you do? There's no way around it. What you love is not his identity, not his status, and nothing about his gender, what you love is pure is just him. Xiao Ye, in fact, we all hope that you can find someone you really like, you don't have to have too many scruples. ”
At half past eight, Wang Jie dragged his body step by step to climb to the third floor, took out the key and opened the door, she was ready to face the dark world and the cold stove in the ice pot, but found that the light in the room was on, and the mother came out of the kitchen with a plate of dishes, and when she saw her, she said: "Xiaojie, go wash your hands, ready to eat, my mother has made a lot of delicious food, all of which you like to eat." ”
Wang Jie washed his hands and came out, and when he saw the dishes on the table, some meat and some vegetarian, he asked in surprise: "Mom, what is a good day today, making so many dishes?" ”
Mom also rolled the last soup, put it on the dining table, and tapped Wang Jie's forehead with her finger: "Look at you, you are so busy that you even forgot your birthday, did you receive the dress that your mother bought for you last week?" Like it or not? ”
Wang Jie remembered the skirt that he hurriedly went out to crumple in the taxi that day, with a piece of braised pork in his mouth, and nodded again and again: "I like it, can my mother's vision be wrong." ”
Before going to bed, Wang Jie glanced at her phone again, Xiao Ye hadn't replied to her message, she was so tired that she fell asleep after lying on the bed holding her phone.
Xiao Ye didn't go to Haiwei in the morning, and she ate absent-mindedly for breakfast. He had another nightmare last night, and after waking up from the dream, his first reaction was to pick up his phone, however, he didn't do anything after picking up the phone, holding the phone in his hand, and sat alone in bed for more than two hours.
Ye Quan's vacation is not over yet, he has been sitting in the house and typing on the keyboard in the morning, and suddenly on a whim, he went out and took a pair of scissors to prune the branches in the roses planted by Xiao Han, which is called "repair".
Xiao Ye followed him to clean up the mess, and also took a pair of big scissors, and studied on the rose branch for a long time before cutting it, which can only be said to have cut the broken part of Ye Quan, and it can be repaired to look a little better. Ye Quan clicked and cut quickly in front, and the flower branches fell all over the ground, Xiao Ye stopped to look at him, and asked him carefully, "Dad, why do you like Dad?" ”
Ye Quan's face was full of red light, a little bead of sweat appeared on the tip of his nose, he stopped the movement in his hand, and looked back at Xiao Ye: "What's wrong?" Am I not pretty? ”
Xiao Ye hurriedly explained: "No, I didn't mean that......"
Ye Quan may have been a little tired, so he blew a breath of "whew", stuck the scissors on the ground and held them with his hands: "I didn't react just now." I didn't expect you to ask that, but since you did, um...... Xiao Ye, have you ever thought that to love someone is to love him as a person rather than love his gender? You don't have so many scruples, the people you like, we are at most afraid that you are young and like to play, afraid that you will be deceived, help you see how your character is, and the rest, we will not say or do. If you're because of gossip or um...... Our reason is to force ourselves to be with someone we don't love, and there's really no need for that. ”
Xiao Ye looked at Ye Quan for a while before saying, "Dad, I found that you are really similar to Dad." ”
When it was noon, my mother was still quieting down and tidying up the house, and after cleaning up the house, she began to wash vegetables and clean up the lunch for the two of them.
Wang Jie opened his mobile phone in a daze in the morning, rubbed his eyes, and didn't see Xiao Ye's reply, but unexpectedly received an email from General Assistant Xiao, telling her that Mr. Xiao had given her a holiday today, and the holiday was to be determined. She yawned and said to herself: "I am still a conscience, and I know that I have to give employees a holiday and rest." She yawned a few times in a row, and slept until noon, when her mother came to tell her to get up for dinner, and she reluctantly got up from the bed.
After lunch, my mother heard her say about the holiday, so she said that she also had a two-day holiday, and the mother and daughter decided to go back to the original city to see Wang Jie's father.
Every year during Qingming and his father's birthday, Wang Jie and his mother would take the time to return to the original city to visit his father, and sometimes, when they were free, they would stay at his father's grave for a while and talk to his father for a while.
The move out that year was not so much for my mother's work and for my livelihood, but rather that I had to move out.
Although it was close to four o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun was not as hot as at noon, the poor air conditioning in the bus still could not reduce the crowded high temperature in the bus.
When I arrived at the cemetery, I happened to meet a good colleague of my father who came to visit my father, and my mother chatted with him for a while, and thanked him for coming to visit and sweep the grave every year. When a colleague passed by Wang Jie, he smiled: "Yo, my daughter has grown so big, she is so beautiful, Lao Wang is really blessed." ”
His last sentence was addressed to the tombstone. Although he left with a smile on the corner of his mouth after speaking, Wang Jie saw that the moment he turned his head, his eyes were already red.
The tombstone is engraved with "Father Wang Jie's Tomb", birth and death, as well as his wife and daughter, the black and white photo of his father is forever frozen in his thirty-one years old, his mother put a bouquet of snow-white jasmine in front of his father, and chattered.
This is the necessary homework for the mother every time she comes, telling the father over and over again that she and her daughter have moved, and the father thinks about which one to take the bus, which intersection to get off at which intersection, which community to go to after getting off the bus, how to go, and which unit to find when you get there.
"Go to the third floor, remember that it's the innermost room on the third floor, don't go wrong."
Wang Jie picked up his hand and hooked it on the side of his face, looking at his mother's shrunken body, listening to his mother's soft, soft voice in front of his father's grave, her eyes blurred again.
When he was about to leave, Wang Jie asked why he couldn't take his father with them, and his mother said that this is your father's home, a place that your father is familiar with, there are your father's friends, his comrades-in-arms, and they accompany your father, so your father is not alone.
Xiao Ye had a nightmare again, as if the dream had come true, he even forgot to put on his slippers, and rushed out of the bedroom in a panic with his bare feet, until he walked to the bedroom door of Xiao Han and Ye Quan, he woke up, but he always felt that the dream was so real, he was very afraid, just reached out and wanted to knock on the door, and the sound of Xiao Han and Ye Quan talking came from inside.
Xiao Han said: "His own affairs, he will handle it himself, don't worry too much." ”
Ye Quan said: "It's too easy to hurt people with feelings. You see, every year, it is reported that so many people are deceived by people on the Internet, and then get depression and commit suicide, Xiao Ye is too sensitive, I am really afraid. ”
There was silence in the bedroom for a while, and Xiao Han said softly: "Your health is not good, don't think too much, didn't the doctor say that you should not think about these things all the time?" Leave all these things to me, I'll take care of them, don't think too much about it yourself, okay? ”
Xiao Ye's outstretched hand froze in mid-air, he didn't know that he had caused so much trouble to Xiao Han and Ye Quan. Turning dejectedly, he walked towards the bedroom, wondering why he couldn't be more restrained, at least in this matter.
Walking to the bedside table, Xiao Ye touched the mobile phone without turning on the light, opened the mobile phone, and swiped to the line of "The King's Heroes and Heroes" that was remarked to Wang Jie, and he clicked on the mobile phone a few times unconsciously, and finally his eyes stayed on "delete".
The next morning, Xiao Ye got up late, and when he went downstairs, he saw Xiao Han and Ye Quan both there. Xiao Han and Ye Quan were having breakfast, Xiao Han suddenly reached out and tapped the corner of Ye Quan's mouth: "Why are there so many bubbles at the corner of your mouth?" ”
Ye Quan blinked: "It's on fire." I said don't put so much salt in the dish, you can tell them again, next time put less salt. ”
Xiao Han snorted lukewarmly: "If you put a little less salt in your rice, it will be white." ”
Ye Quan didn't care: "What's wrong with the white?" Isn't that just right...... Xiaoye, why did you get up so late today? Come over for dinner. ”
Xiao Ye lowered his eyes and didn't dare to look at him and Xiao Han, finished eating the food in front of him at the table step by step, turned around and walked out. Ye Quan asked him behind him, he turned around and looked at Ye Quan with dull eyes: "Manager Wu asked me and a few friends to go fishing in a suburban reservoir, I ......"
He hadn't figured out what to do next, but luckily he didn't have to keep making it up. Ye Quan smiled and said, "That's right, let's have a good time." ”
Wang Jie didn't receive a notice to go to work for a few days, and he also didn't receive a reply from Xiao Ye, his mother has been working for several days, going out early and returning late every day, and insisting on sending her a message every day to tell her what to eat at noon and what dishes to buy at night waiting for her to come back and cook. Wang Jie felt that he was about to be wasted at home.
Half a month ago, Wang Jie would definitely invite a large group of good buddies and sisters to go to which snack street and barbecue stall to have a good meal, but now it won't work, her mother is at home, she won't be allowed to eat those "unhealthy" things, breakfast let her go downstairs to the breakfast shop to buy, lunch thunder can't be sent by courier, dinner must be cooked by herself.
Wang Jie rolled on the bed boredly, but his mobile phone, which had been silent for an hour, rang "ticking" at this time. Wang Jie hurriedly picked it up, opened it and took a look, and sure enough, it was what he wanted: Jie Sir, see you on the pool table at two o'clock in the afternoon.
The general manager's office was filled with smoke, Xiao Ye leaned back on the swivel chair, and exhaled a deep mouthful of white mist. He admits that he still doesn't like the smell of smoke, but he likes the feeling it gives him, the feeling of paralysis, the feeling of relaxation.
His nightmare had intensified, so that he could wake up from the nightmare every night, sit in bed until dawn, and sometimes even stand at the door of Xiao Han and Ye Quan's bedroom until dawn, and only then did he suddenly wake up and hurriedly return to the bedroom.
The smoke made him forget everything for a moment, but it also left a mark on him - his clothes smelled of smoke. Holding a cigarette, he saw the alarm clock on the table go to half past six little by little, and he seemed to see a life talisman.
I don't know when he began to be afraid to go home to face Xiao Han and Ye Quan, afraid to face their care for him, afraid to hear their worries about him. He was afraid of everything.
Xiao Ye took out his cigarette, and after driving home, he rushed in, aiming for the bedroom bathroom. He has been living like this for several days, in order to prevent Xiao Han and Ye Quan from discovering the smell of smoke on their bodies, he has already worried them a lot, and he can't let them worry anymore.
Before entering the bedroom, Xiao Ye heard Ye Quan's voice downstairs: "What's the matter these days, you run to the bedroom as soon as you come back?" ”
Xiao Ye leaned his back against the bedroom door, and his throat was painful and astringent. He didn't want Xiao Han and Ye Quan to worry about himself, but why did things always backfire, things always seemed to turn into another dead end, the more he did, the more wrong he became, and nothing could be changed.
At night, Xiao Ye had nightmares again. He dreamed that time Ye Quan entered the rescue room, Xiao Han dragged his arm, and said desperately, "You let me try, he is my only hope, you let me try", in the end of the dream, Ye Quan did not come out of the rescue room, Xiao Han was gone, and there was no one in his dream. He searched room by room, shouting "Dad" while looking, I don't know if he was calling Ye Quan or Xiao Han.
Again, Xiao Ye woke up from a nightmare, the floor-to-ceiling windows that had not been closed were soaked into the white moonlight, his face was full of tears, and his bloodshot eyes exuded a cold air, cold and terrifying. As if his hand had no touch, he touched the phone several times on the bedside table and then somewhere else, and finally, he finally touched the phone.
The mobile phone screen lit up, Xiao Ye slowly swiped on the address book, found Wang Jie, and replied with a message under "What's the Hurry": "See you at Huxin Cafe at two o'clock tomorrow afternoon." ”
