Chapter 6 The Unspoken Words
2017 will eventually pass, the pace of the New Year is getting closer and closer, although the Spring Festival holiday is not long, but people are looking forward to the moment when they go home to reunite with their parents and friends. Lan Keer is no exception, this Spring Festival she is going to take her children back to her hometown for the New Year, she misses her parents very much, and she also misses her classmates who live in her hometown, especially Luo Xiaoyao. The moment she bought the ticket, she called Xiaoyao: "Do you want me to come back to see you?" ”
"Really? I've been looking forward to this day for a long time, when will I be back? ”
"I'll be back when my son's final exams are over."
"I'll arrange it then, and I'm going to catch up with you ......"
The two of them couldn't be more excited on the phone, they both wanted time to pass a little faster, a little faster......
One day, Fang Zichun sent a message to Ke'er: "Ke'er, have you had any happy things in the past two days, can you share them with me?" ”
"I'm happiest that the Chinese New Year is coming, and I can finally go home......"
"Are you going back to your hometown too?"
"Are you also going back for the New Year, such a coincidence?"
Fang Zichun couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, and his heart was pounding.
"So...... Can I see you when I go back? ”
Kerr paused for a moment, her heart pounding.
"Do you mean class reunions? Yes, haha. "The clever Kerr is always avoiding what the other person is about to say.
"That'...... Even if I promised to see you? Fang Zichun said jokingly, because he didn't have the luxury of wanting Ke'er to see him alone.
"Let's get in touch when we get back."
This conversation is undoubtedly something they are all looking forward to, and they may be too excited to sleep because of the upcoming trip home......
Lan Keer returned to her hometown as scheduled, and as soon as she returned home, she was ready to meet Luo Xiaoyao. No matter how long the two of them haven't seen each other, they will not be strangers, but what remains unchanged is the rare tacit understanding.
"So excited, you came back just to see me?"
"I was also excited to see my parents, and I was finally able to eat my mother's cooking."
Ke'er didn't tell her about Fang Zichun, because there were still many questions that she hadn't determined.
"It seems that a lot of classmates are back, so you should have a party in your science class, right?"
"I don't know, let's make another appointment."
More often, they talked about their trivial family lives.
On the day Fang Zichun came back, he sent a WeChat message to Lan Keer.
"Kerr, I'm back."
"Finally in the same city, I heard that several classmates are also back, do you want to get together?"
"Okay, it's just ......"
Fang Zichun slurred and began to speak incoherently.
"What?"
"There is time...... Shall we meet first? ”
In fact, Ke'er didn't think like this in her heart, she really wanted to meet the current Fang Zichun.
"Last time I went on a trip, I brought something for my child, and I wanted to send it to you, but you refused to tell me the address, so I brought it back......"
"Oh, do you want to bring me something delicious?"
"Well, I want to give it to you first."
"No problem." Kerr readily agreed.
They made an appointment to meet at 8 p.m. the next night near Kerr's house. It's been many years since she graduated, and Ke'er has already moved, and Fang Zichun is not very familiar with that area, so Ke'er sent him a position.
The next day, they made an appointment to wait at the intersection where the Kerr community came out.
"I'm going that way, how about you?"
"Let's share the location, this area is a little unfamiliar, I'm afraid of going in the wrong direction."
They opened the shared location in the iPhone WeChat, the shared location is getting closer and closer, their hearts are beating faster and faster, how excited will the two people who haven't seen each other for more than 20 years be? When their avatars almost coincided, she saw him across the street, how could the red light be so long at this time, her heart was about to jump out, except for nervousness, she seemed to lose consciousness.
He wanted to see whether she was still the same as she was back then, but the lights were too dim, only to see her still slender figure and long flowing hair.
When the red light turned green, everyone around him hurriedly crossed the street, but he and she were like unresponsive, a beat slower than others, stunned for a few seconds, Fang Zichun made a gesture to make Lan Keer stop, he ran from across the road, panting he came to Ke'er, they looked at each other face to face, the dim light created a romantic atmosphere.
"Ke'er, long time no see."
"Long time no see."
"It's a little cold, let's find a place to sit."
"Good"
They found a café and sat face to face, but Kerr remembered that the last time they sat face to face like this was twenty-one years ago, and it was also in a café, and they had never met again since that goodbye. Fang Zichun looked at Ke'er, smiled and said, "It still hasn't changed." ”
"How can it not change, it is already old."
"No, it's mature."
Fang Zichun wanted to speak several times and stopped, he didn't know where to start.
"What about the son? Are you back together? ”
When Ke'er mentioned the child, the two of them suddenly had a topic to talk about, and they happily exchanged parenting experiences.
After sitting for nearly forty minutes, Kerr said, "It's not early, I should go home." ”
"Well, I'll be very happy if you come out to see me today."
Then, Fang Zichun handed a handbag to Ke'er,
"Take it."
"Thank you." Kerr took the handbag.
Fang Zichun sent Kerr to the door of the community, and stopped a taxi, when they separated, Kerr glanced back at Fang Zichun, and his eyes revealed that he was reluctant, Fang Zichun saw Ker's move, remembered that she looked back at him many years ago and smiled, and at this moment he felt Kerr's nostalgia for him. He was reluctant, but what could he do?
In the end, their class reunion was not organized, and the students were too busy to unify the time for the Chinese New Year. But Fang Zichun missed Kerr too much, so he dialed Kerr's phone again.
"Ke'er, what are you busy with?"
"It's okay for now, I'm at home."
"I'm just going out for a trip, do you have time to come out and sit?"
Is Fang Zichun now more active than he was at the beginning? In his heart, he actually wants to chat with Kerr more so that Kerr can be happy.
"Well, okay."
So they still meet at a café near Kerr's house.
The two of them still sat facing each other, and this time they sat in a good position, with an independent space, and it was quieter.
"Is he back?"
"No, he goes back to his house, and I go back to mine."
Fang Zichun said he was puzzled.
"We are usually like this, saying that we are a family, but in fact we are two people who have nothing to do with each other." Kerr held the cup and kept turning it, looking restless.
"I'm sorry, shouldn't I mention him?"
"It's okay, I'm used to it, I just feel like I'm getting stranger and stranger to him."
"Okay, let's not talk about him, let's reminisce about the funny things in high school and make you happy."
They talked about their high school teachers, classmates, and interesting stories about them, and they both laughed when they remembered their school days. Inadvertently, they talked about Yu Fei,
"You know what? Actually, I don't like you to help Yu Fei, I was so angry at that time. ”
"I also hated myself at that time, and I knew how to help him with all my strength."
"If I like Yu Fei too, you really get your wish?"
Fang Zichun looked at Ke'er and couldn't say a word......
"Actually, Yu Fei said something to me later, and he never looked for me again." Kerr laughed after speaking.
"What did he say?"
"He said that nothing can change the current ending, Yu Fei is actually very smart, he can see through things, but you can't see through it." At this time, Ke'er's mood changed a little, and she seemed to think of something.
"Hey......" Fang Zichun let out a long sigh and didn't ask Lan Ke'er again.
"It's not too early, let's go home." Kerr said.
"Okay, I'll take you home."
"You...... Is there anything else you'd like to say to me......? ”
Ke'er looked at Fang Zichun with tears in her eyes, and then turned her head to the side, she couldn't help the sadness in her heart, seeing that the tears were about to run out, but she still endured it.
Fang Zichun didn't say anything, he sat there for a while, because he had too many words in his heart, he didn't know where to start, he didn't have time to organize the language quickly, he thought to himself, "This sentence is too good to ask, what else do you want to say, I should have wanted to say it in high school and hid it in my heart for more than 20 years, I didn't dare to say it for more than 20 years, at first I was afraid of delaying each other's studies, I was afraid of affecting the feelings of good friends, and after graduation, I was afraid that you wouldn't like me, I thought you had a lot of better choices, and now I'm afraid of disturbing your family and life, But at this moment, seeing your expectant eyes and what I felt, I can no longer hide my concern and thoughts for you, allow me to be bold once, okay? ”
Thinking of this, Fang Zichun closed the curtain, he walked up to Kerr, squatted down, took a tissue and handed it to Kerr.
"Remember that winter break twenty years ago? I also handed you a tissue, it was the first time I saw you cry so sadly, but I never had the courage to say what I wanted to say to you. His throat became a little hoarse, and he continued:
"I know, you want to cry again today, I know the grievances in your heart......" he lowered his head and fell into deep thought......
At this time, Ke'er's tears were already flowing out of anger, she wiped away her tears with the tissue Fang Zichun handed her, and got up to leave. Fang Zichun gently grabbed her arm with his hand,
"Ke'er, we met twenty years ago, I asked you if I still had a chance, and you said that it was too late, so I never dared to say what was in my heart......"
"It's all gone...... I've forgotten about ......"
Fang Zichun stood up and walked back and forth anxiously in place several times, he knew that what Ke'er wanted to be sure of was that sentence, he hesitated for two minutes, turned his head and said to Ke'er:
"When I graduated from high school, I wanted to tell you that I wanted to be with you! When I came home during the winter vacation of my freshman year, I also wanted to tell you that I wanted to be with you, but ......, I thought you already had someone you liked......"
Ke'er suddenly froze her expression, in fact, in her heart, no matter how many words Fang Zichun has, she can't match the words "I want to be with you".
Ke'er's tears came out of her eyes at this time, she stood in front of Fang Zichun with her head down, her eyes were too heavy to lift, there were teardrops hanging on the tips of her long eyelashes, she blinked desperately a few times, tears wet her collar, blurring her vision, Fang Zichun reached out and wanted to slap Ke'er's shoulder, but the outstretched hand slowly retracted, he could still only take out a tissue, this time he didn't hand it over, but carefully helped Ke'er wipe his tears, Ke'er took the tissue with his hand, "I'll do it myself, thank you." ”
"I see, thank you for telling me that, so, are we still good friends?" Ke'er burst into tears and laughed instantly.
"So, remember to talk to me when you are unhappy in the future, and you can't hold it alone in your heart and feel uncomfortable......."
Fang Zichun's feeling told him that the person in front of him was the one he missed day and night, wanted to take care of all the time, and wanted to be with him for the rest of his life, he hated himself when he was young and didn't know how to cherish it. But now it's "too late", he can only care about her silently and comfort her when she is wronged!
Then, they stared at each other, and although they saw each other's full love in each other's eyes, they could sense a thousand words in each other's hearts............ However, they both think that they have their own families and do not allow themselves to disturb each other's peaceful lives.
Such a scene completely changed everything that Kerr had been guessing in her heart before, she deeply felt that he actually loved her deeply, so could this love change their lives for each other? No! She thought to herself......
Seeing the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, Lan Keer was going to take her son back to Shanghai the next day. This afternoon, she met Luo Xiaoyao again, and the two of them had dinner together, and then kept taking selfies and posting on Moments, a pair of good sisters who were so reluctant. Ke'er casually put the phone on the table, and suddenly the phone rang, and Luo Xiaoyao was surprised when she saw that the caller was the name of "Fang Zichun".
"Ke'er, I'm at the tavern at the intersection downstairs of your house, come and sit? You'll be back tomorrow and want to see you again. ”
"I'm with Luo Xiaoyao now, you wait for me for a while, and I'll come over after a while."
"Is it Fang Zichun? Is it a class reunion in your class? Luo Xiaoyao asked.
"Well, it looks like a few of them have come back and asked me to come over."
"Then you go quickly...... we just finished eating, I'll send you to the intersection."
Originally, she wanted to chat with Luo Xiaoyao for a while, but Lan Ke'er's heart had already flown to Fang Zichun at this time. Luo Xiaoyao seemed to see something, and she kept urging Ke'er to go quickly.
After walking for a while, Luo Xiaoyao said: "Ke'er, I'll send you here, I'll take the bus home, don't worry, I have headphones, listen to the songs we both like and go home, I won't be lonely, I have time to go home and see." ”
Although Ke'er was a little reluctant, she couldn't hide her heart when she wanted to see Fang Zichun, looking at Luo Xiaoyao's distant back, Ke'er was a little teary-eyed, she didn't tell Luo Xiaoyao about such an important matter this time......
This time home, he and her met for the third time, talking about classmates or children, no one seemed to want to mention their other half, and I don't know when we will be able to meet again after this goodbye......
