Chapter 37: Where is the Future?

This morning, I was distracted.

"Xiaoxiao, let's go, let's eat."

"Xiaoxiao?"

"Long Xiaoxiao?"

I came back to my senses, "Huh? Oh Li Jie, what's wrong? ”

"What are you thinking about when you go to dinner?"

"No, don't you have to go back to your grandmother's stall today?"

"No, my dad is here today, and I don't want to go."

I followed her, and Li Jie said, "There are too many people going out to eat now, let's go to the playground and sit for a while." ”

"Playground? Then it's better to sit under the luan tree. ”

"It's fine."

The lantern flowers on the luan tree have fallen off, and the branches are swaying in the breeze. We sat under the tree and watched our classmates come in and out.

"Xiaoxiao, you...... Did you tell Wang Feng? ”

For a moment, I didn't know how to answer her, "Hmm......"

Li Jie asked eagerly, "What did he say?" ”

He ...... He, he didn't say anything. ”

"What?"

"Hmm...... He just didn't say anything. ”

"Xiaoxiao, tell me the truth, what are you talking about? You can't fool anyone. ”

"Xiaojie, in fact, Wang Feng is also for your good, he hopes that we can be admitted to a good university together."

"Hmm, so what?"

"So, I don't know, he's just saying a bunch of things like that anyway." I'm afraid that if she continues to ask, I won't be able to answer.

But she seemed to be in a deep contemplation, and her expression was a little deep, and I did not dare to disturb her.

After a long time, she said to me: "Alas~ Xiaoxiao, it seems that Wang Feng and I are really not all the way. ”

"Little Jie ......"

"Wang Feng hopes that we can be admitted to a good university together, but Xiaoxiao, you know, this is impossible for me. Even if I get in, my dad won't pay me any more tuition. What's more, with my current academic performance, how can I be admitted to a good university? It's a blessing to be admitted to a junior college. ”

"Xiaojie, don't be so discouraged. Wang Feng said that as long as you want, he will help you with your homework. ”

Hearing this, a light suddenly appeared in Li Jie's eyes.

"Really?"

I nodded.

"Okay, that's it. Starting tomorrow, you ask Wang Feng to tutor me. ”

"Huh? So fast? ”

"Yes, this kind of thing, sooner rather than later. Let's go, let's eat. "Li Jie became very happy, I wondered, why did she still look depressed just now, so soon?

As soon as we got out of school, we saw Li Jie's father standing under a tree, and the smile on Li Jie's face immediately froze.

She dragged me towards her father.

"Dad, why are you here?" Li Jie's tone was obviously reluctant.

"Hello uncle."

"Well, hello, I'll have a few words with Li Jie."

I let go of Li Jie's hand and wanted to step aside, but who knows, Li Jie pulled me over directly and said to her father, "What's the matter?" Say, it's okay, she's my best friend. ”

Li Jie's father looked at me and said to her, "Mr. Liu will invite you to dinner this weekend, and then dress up and come over." ”

"I'm not going."

"No, no!"

"I'm not going."

"Then you try! Do you think I don't know what you've been thinking absent-mindedly lately? I'm telling you, if you cooperate, forget it, if you don't, don't let me find out who that person is! ”

A wave of anger appeared on Li Jie's face, and she looked at the person in front of her with hatred, whom she called Dad.

"Did you read my diary?"

Her dad didn't speak.

Li Jie continued: "How can you do this? It's too much. ”

"Am I excessive? I'm not good for you yet! Anyway, this is the thing, I'm done, I'm leaving, you can do it yourself. ”

Li Jie's eyes seemed to be on fire, and she could see that she had been suppressing her anger. It wasn't until we couldn't see her father's back at all that she slowly put away her anger.

I swallowed my saliva and asked tentatively, "Xiaojie, are you better?" ”

Li Jie paused and sighed, "Let's go." ”

"Little Jie ......"

"Well, Xiaoxiao, you don't have to say it, I know what you're going to say, I'm fine! The guy my dad was talking about was the guy I told you last time I asked me to marry him after I graduated. ”

"And what are you going to do?"

"Alas! What can I do? You can only go. You can also hear it, my dad has found out that I have someone I like, but I don't know who it is yet. Fortunately, I didn't write my name when I wrote in my diary. Otherwise, I really don't know what kind of trouble will be brought to Wang Gaofeng. ”

"Xiaojie, then you and Wang Feng ......"

Li Jie raised her head and looked up at the sky at a standard forty-five degrees, "If you like someone, you won't be able to choose." ”

“…… What does that mean? ”

"Xiaoxiao, don't think about it, let's eat first, don't tell anyone about today, especially Wang Feng! I don't want him to look at me strangely. ”

I nodded, I didn't understand what kind of decision she made about Wang Feng? What does that mean, to give up? Or do you want to keep going?

On the one hand, Wang Feng's refusal, on the other hand, his father's coercion, Li Jie, a girl as old as me, is strong and makes me feel distressed......

——————————————

Sunlight shines through the leaves, dappled onto the pavement.

Li Jie and I walked slowly, and neither of us spoke.

At this moment, how complicated and entangled her heart should be.

This girl, who usually smiles like the sun, has an unprecedented gloom on her face.

Faced with such a her, I decided to tell her what Wang Feng said to me yesterday. I don't want to hide anything from her anymore, even if it's as thin as a hair, I think it's a hurt to her now.

Li Jie...... Actually, what I said to Wang Feng yesterday didn't tell you completely......"

She squinted her eyes slightly, "Oh......"

Just a soft oh, she stopped talking and didn't ask, which was not her style at all.

"Xiaojie, don't you want to know?"

"Alas! I want to, but it's useless to know. Anyway, he rejected me. And you see, my dad just asked me to meet that guy again. Hehe, this is going to give me a blind date! ”

"Xiao Jie, Wang Feng, it's not that he doesn't have you in his heart at all...... He is very worried about your studies and really, really wants you to improve your grades and get into a good university with us. ”

"Care, between classmates, friends, relatives, there will be. Xiaoxiao, don't comfort me. If my dad can arrange for me to meet like this, he must have agreed with the other side. As long as I go to see it on the weekend, if I like it over there, then I'm afraid I won't have the opportunity to talk about a vigorous love in the future. Alas~ In life, if you haven't even been in love once, then you're too sorry for yourself. ”

"Xiao Jie......" I put my arm around her shoulder, hoping to give her a little strength, knowing that I was supporting her.

She looked up at my face, smiled and said, "Xiaoxiao, don't worry about me, I've been used to this kind of thing since I was a child." My preferences, my feelings, no one cares at all. As long as I'm alive, I'll always be a pawn in their home. In our family, only my half-brother is human! But Xiaoxiao, my sister is a little better than me, and she still has my mother who loves her. ”

With that, she took my hand and walked on......

Tears rolled in my eyes, and I held back. I know she doesn't want me to feel sorry for her.

I secretly decided in my heart that I must help her succeed in the matter of her and Wang Feng. At least, there was a banging love affair before she lost her freedom.
