Chapter Twenty-Seven: You, Me
I was having fun with him when I heard someone shouting in the distance, "Who's setting off the fireworks?" No fireworks are allowed. ”
When we heard this, we looked at each other and fled together to another exit. The sound of the man chasing behind him grew farther and farther away.
When we ran far away from the gate of the yard, we realized that our hands had already been pulled together.
Neither of us wanted to take our hands out of the other's hands first, and we were tired, so we just gasped and walked slowly.
Liu Wei and I had a smile on our faces all the time. My face was sour, and it reminded me of the first time I went to an event with him, that night, for hours, and I kept smiling like that, with a sore face.
I stopped, withdrew my hand, from his, and gently withdrew. Liu Wei didn't stop me, he just looked at me with a pair of big watery eyes.
I raised my hands and rubbed my stiff face vigorously, feeling much better.
"Xiaoxiao, let's reconcile, don't quarrel anymore, okay?" His gentle voice almost melted me. But I couldn't say the word I had promised him, and I was silent.
"Xiaoxiao, I promise you, I will only have you in my heart in the future, okay?"
I laughed but didn't answer, Liu Wei still has such an innocent side. Don't you say that only is the only one? No one can say for sure.
"Xiaoxiao, promise me, I'm sincere. I'm here today just to tell you, let's start over, okay? Today is the first day of the new year, and we will start today and walk the road together with only you and me. All right? ”
"Xiaoxiao, if you don't speak, I'll take you as a promise, okay?"
I took a deep breath, "Okay. This is the last time, and after that, there will be absolutely no chance. I'm not a long-term person, I'm a heartless person, I hope you can understand. From now on, I can only be decisive with you, and I have no patience. ”
"Good, good, thank you, Xiaoxiao. Enough, enough, just this one chance, it's enough. Definitely won't make you angry about it again in the future. ”
"No, don't get me wrong. Next time, instead of getting angry, I will leave decisively. I won't give you any chance, and I won't listen to any explanations from you. ”
"Okay, Xiaoxiao, whatever you say is fine." Liu Wei smiled like a child, such a heartfelt smile, I had seen it on his face once upon a time, but it was very rare.
"Xiaoxiao, you know what? When I just set off fireworks in your yard, I was so worried that you didn't see it. Still thinking, I'll call you later. I didn't expect you to be so magical, appearing. Xiaoxiao, you say, isn't God creating opportunities for us? ”
I didn't answer him, and if I had known it was him, I wouldn't have looked at it at all. Unexpectedly, the person I admired in my heart turned out to be Liu Wei. Perhaps, this is really like what he said, our fate has not been broken.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, walking on a quiet road, there is no purpose, just like that, walk slowly. Look at the occasional speeding car, sidewalk, and no other pedestrians. Enjoying such silence, the time that has not been seen for a long time belongs to the two of us.
Since you said yes, let go of everything you had before and try to start over.
If you want to say that you want to let go completely, it is impossible, it's just that you hide it in your heart and don't mention it anymore. It wasn't until much later that this memory, with the passage of time, faded into oblivion. At that time, I'm afraid it will be able to really let go.
"Xiaoxiao, how are you doing during my time abroad?"
"Not good, very bad."
If it had been before, I would have said it was good, I was afraid that he would worry about me. But now, I don't want to. I'm not good, I'm just not good. Worry about me, isn't it supposed to be?
I don't want to keep pretending to be strong, I don't want to be alone anymore and endure all that unhappiness. Since we are together, then, in addition to happiness, there should also be sorrow in what we share.
Liu Wei looked at me with some surprise and stroked my hair with his hand, "Tell me, why?" ”
"It's been so much, not a day since you left that I've been happy. At first, it was because of you, later, because of Xu Qiuyun, and then later, it was Xiao Ranzi. Then, there is Xu Fengfan. Until you came back, I thought my pain was over. But who knows, this is another beginning. Liu Wei, my unhappiness is too much. I can't say enough about it, so I don't need to go into details. ”
"Xiaoxiao, tell me, I can help you solve it, say it."
"Forget it, Liu Wei, you said it, today is a new beginning. So, since it is a new beginning, all the unpleasantness in the past, no matter what it is, even if it is Xiao Ranzi's business, let them all drift away with the wind. Let's not talk about it again, it's all heartache for me. Only by forgetting can we get off to a better start. ”
Liu Wei looked at me, and tears flashed in his eyes again.
"Xiaoxiao, you've suffered." He hugged me tightly in his arms, and his arms still made me feel warm.
Yes, that's right, what I'm saying is the truth.
I hope that Liu Wei and I will only be happy from now on.
We just walked and walked, on this Chinese New Year's Eve, directionless and aimless.
"Xiaoxiao, let's go back, I'll send you home, okay?"
I nodded, it was time to go back.
At the moment, although I don't know what time it is, I don't bother to ask, and I don't bother to look. But the cleaners on the street have already started to work.
In the distance, we saw two cleaners, a man and a woman, both about fifty years old, bending over and sweeping the streets. The broom rhythmically repeats the movements of the month after year.
I raised my head, looked at Liu Wei, and said nothing.
He blinked slightly, in response to me.
As we walked past the pair of cleaners, Liu Wei stopped, took out two red envelopes from his pocket, and said to them, "Uncle and aunt, Happy New Year." Please accept this New Year's red envelope. The job of a cleaner is hard but worthy of respect. ”
The two cleaners who were concentrating on cleaning were stunned in the face of Liu Wei's sudden behavior, and they didn't react for a long time. Liu Wei smiled, put the red envelope on their sanitation truck, and pulled me away.
turned around, and after a few steps, he heard a voice behind him: "Hey young man, don't go, you can't ask for this red envelope, you wait a minute." ”
The two of us, smiling at each other, quickly ran.
"Liu Wei, how much money did you give them?" When we stopped, I asked him.
"Two hundred for one person."
"So little? Stingy. "I'm a little reluctant.
Liu Wei said to me with a smile: "Xiaoxiao, sometimes, it's not that you give too much, it's just good." Let's go, let's go home, it's almost dawn. ”
