Chapter VII
Luo Lin held a bowl of rice and looked at the various dishes on the table, as if she couldn't swallow it, because the dishes on the table were all her favorite foods. Judging from her relationship with Zhou Rongqing since she was a child, Zhou Rongqing definitely can't remember what she likes to eat, so there is only one culprit.
Lu Zi looked at Rowling's faint eyes, his hand couldn't help touching the bridge of his nose, and then lowered his head and continued to pick up the rice, in fact, he had made an appointment with Zhou Yongqin before they were going back, and he came out to meet him, and he told Zhou Rongqing a lot of things, including the road he and Rowling walked together, and Rowling's heart disease. Before he left, he also gave Zhou Rongqing a menu and asked her to pick a few of Rowling's favorite dishes, but he looked at the dishes on the table that exactly matched his menu, and was a little speechless, isn't this exposed!
The two of them silently did not speak, which also made the four people at the dinner table fall silent.
Soon, the meal was finished, Zhou Rongqing got up and went to put away the dishes and chopsticks, Rowling saw this, not only was she a little puzzled, when did Zhou Rongqing learn to cook? From her memory? Not to mention cooking, Zhou Rongqing rarely joins them even when they eat together.
When they finished cleaning up, the four of them sat back where Rowling had just come, and when they saw that Rowling's scalp was a little numb, she couldn't help but panic, she really couldn't sit still, she reached out and quietly pulled the corner of Lu Zi's clothes, reminding him to find a reason to leave.
Lu Zi felt Luo Lin's small movements, and gently pulled her little hand with his hand, but did not speak, turned his head and quietly raised his eyebrows at Luo Jing, Luo Jing did not speak, but an inexplicable atmosphere also spread over the two of them. They seem to be planning something.
"Lin'er, you finally came here, I haven't been to your room for a long time, right? I just packed it up today, let's go check it out! Without waiting for Rowling to answer, Luo Jing grabbed Rowling's wrist and dragged her up the stairs, Rowling frowned, but didn't say anything, after all, she really couldn't sit still in the living room. But she didn't see Luo Jing's other hand, and quietly made an "OK" gesture to Lu Zi.
Watching Luo Lin go upstairs, Lu Zicai stood up and said to Zhou Rongqing, "Auntie, let's talk!" Zhou Rongqing looked at the staircase, not knowing what she was thinking, but nodded silently.
"Go and see, I've cleaned your room." Luo Jing said to Rowling as if showing off, and at the same time reached out to open the door, and said to Rowling after opening it: "Please come in!" ”
It was already dusk, and the sunset of the sky penetrated the window and sprinkled the whole room, and even the warm atmosphere filled Rowling's heart warmly, as if to tell her: welcome home.
Rowling walked inside, her fingers brushing over the desk she had once used, as if the paint on it had been easily captured by her, and she curled the corners of her mouth, giving her many memories for a moment. She walked over to the bookshelf and stroked through the books, which were memories of her time with this family. She opened a book casually, but scattered a lot of bookmarks, she bent down to pick up those bookmarks, but saw that they were full of words, and then looked closely, it was some little secrets of her and Fang Lu, it turned out that she used to be so lively! Looking at the words on the bookmark, her eyes were a little moist, Fang Lu, haven't you been with her from before to now?
She sorted out her emotions and put the book back, but she didn't touch anything else, perhaps, it was still a little sad in her heart.
"Look at how clean I am!" Seeing that Rowling's mood was a little different, Luo Jing teased on the side. Rowling turned to look at him and said, "Very clean, thank you." ”
"Thank you for what the family said." Luo Jing scratched his head and smiled. Rowling smiled at his words, but didn't say anything.
Rowling still stroked her bookshelf over and over again, as if she was missing, but suddenly for a moment, as if she remembered something, she reached out and pulled the chair next to her, stepped on it, and groped for something on the shelf. Seeing her like this, Luo Jing immediately stepped forward to help her, afraid that she would fall down in case she fell.
"Luo Jing, help me pick it up!" As soon as Rowling finished speaking, Luo Jing reached out to pick up those things. There were a lot of things that Rowling handed down, one by one, like a photo album, but there were also paintings. Luo Jing knows that those are Rowling's albums, from childhood to adulthood, who doesn't know that Rowling loves to paint?
Everything was moved down, and Rowling jumped off.
"Lin'er!" Rowling was about to open those things to take a look, Lu Zi entered the house, only to see him come over with a plate of fruit, put the fruit on the desk, and then said, "Freshly washed fruit, taste it!" Rowling actually stopped flipping through the book, walked to Lu Zi's side, reached out and took a piece of fruit and tasted it. In her opinion, it is just right, neither sweet nor sour.
"I have something to say to Luo Jing, you can continue to watch!" As soon as Lu Zi and Luo Lin finished speaking, they winked at Luo Jing, and the two went out together.
Looking at the two of them, even if Rowling had questions, she didn't know who to ask, so she didn't say anything.
After eating the fruit, she smiled contentedly and was about to continue rummaging through the things, but when she turned around, she saw a hesitant figure at the door.
"Lin'er, can I come in and have a look?" At the door was Zhou Rongqing. After she finished asking, she watched Rowling nod silently before she stepped in. She had been to this room countless times since Rowling left, but this was her truest feeling, because her daughter was right in front of her, and she didn't have to rely on everything in her room to remember her, and this time, she felt the most satisfaction.
But it seems that the reality is a little different from what she thought, as soon as Zhou Rongqing came in, she and Rowling couldn't talk at all, and the silence between the two made the environment even more silent at this time.
Rowling didn't speak, she took out a picture album from the middle, and when she opened it, she and Fang Lu's big smiling faces came into view, and there were worries behind the two. Rowling smiled, it turned out that she was so lively before, and she didn't seem to have laughed so heartily for a long time.
Zhou Rongqing also saw the photo, and her heart was complicated at this time, because she didn't know that the original Rowling could still laugh so happily. But because of her persistence and prejudice, Rowling's laughter disappeared without a trace.
"Lin'er, let's have a good talk, okay?" Zhou Rongqing said cautiously. When Rowling heard her words, she only paused for a moment, and then continued to flip through it, without saying anything, disagreeing or disagreeing.
"Lin'er, I know you don't want to go home." When she said this, Zhou Rongqing seemed to be a little choked, but she continued: "Lin'er, you have been gone for so long, my mother misses you very much, what happened before, my mother is sorry for you, if you ...... before"
"All the things that were before are gone." Before Zhou Rongqing could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Rowling. What happened before, for Rowling, isn't it a heart?
"I know it's all in the past, but I can't get by, Lin'er, I know that I used to be too paranoid, and often used excuses for your good to force you, causing you to suffer so many injuries. Your brother is older than you, maybe he thinks it's nothing to listen to me, but you're different, you let me know how outrageous my mistake is, and ...... gnees" Zhou Rongqing choked up when she said this, Enwu, she sent her away, Enwu left, Rowling also lost her soul, her fault seems to be unclear.
As soon as she thought of her worries, Rowling's heart was astringent, she and Zhou Rongqing seemed to be not only separated by a sorrow, but also the knot in each other's hearts.
"If I had cared more about your feelings, maybe the previous things wouldn't have happened, Lin'er, Mom went to find you Aunt Yu. I know that what happened at the beginning made your heart cold, but my mother didn't know, if I knew that you had been wronged so much, I would also like to protect you like your Aunt Yu! Zhou Rongqing almost choked up, she was really wrong in the past, Rowling was bullied, but she didn't help her, Rowling at that time, how heartache it should be!
"Can you not get involved with Aunt Qin?" Rowling's heart seems to be reluctant to involve these things on Yu Qin, because Yu Qin is her mentor, and she is a little unhappy when she is involved in everything.
"There are some things that we can't control and develop, so wouldn't it be very pointless for you to bring it up now, and it's been so long, I don't want to mention it again." How unbearable the past was for Rowling, she didn't want to mention it. After all, the heart hurts.
"Lin'er, I know you don't want to mention it, but I just want to apologize to you. You're home for the first time in years, and I don't want to miss it again," Zhou said.
Rowling suddenly didn't know where her temper came from, put the album in her hand away, turned to her and said, "Is it useful to apologize?" Did it work? I'm telling you, it's useless now. ”
She seemed to have thought that Zhou Rongqing would apologize, but her heart would not accept such an apology at all, perhaps, Zhou Rongqing's apology was too late.
"Lin'er, listen to me, I really want to apologize to you, whether it was in the past or now, I think this apology needs to be said to you, apologize to you, apologize to En'an, apologize to me for missing your growth in the past few years, I'm sorry, my mother was wrong. The previous thing was that I was wrong, I shouldn't have read your diary, I shouldn't have suppressed your dreams, and I shouldn't have sent away your worries. So, Lin'er, I'm sorry. Zhou Rongqing choked up and apologized, and at the same time, the stone in her heart seemed to be put down a little. In the past few years, she has repented countless times, but she can't get anything back after all. Now that Rowling is in front of her, all she has to do is apologize. This apology has been owed to Rowling for several years.
After listening to Zhou Rongqing's words, Rowling's tear ducts collapsed at this moment. She was suppressing the emotions that were about to explode.
Her mother's apology, maybe she can't forgive it in her heart, but in fact, she doesn't blame her mother in her heart, it's just that she always feels that her mother owes an apology. Now she hears this apology.
She covered her mouth and kept her crying to a minimum, and when her vision was blurred, she saw a sad smile, and the past was also rippling in her mind......
