Chapter 21: Hope
Three days, just hard to get through.
Du Ruo never listened to the lecture again in class, and his homework was just copied and copied, his heartfelt mood was already written on his face, but no one cared, it was not because of his bad popularity, but because many people already knew the reason, and they knew some things that Du Ruo didn't know.
And Xiang Qingmin's side was also tormented.
On the night of "Du Ruo......", Xiang Qingmin occasionally thought of the boy who had accompanied her for two years, and she hesitated.
"He's going to be having a hard time right now...... But I really don't like him anymore...... Is it? Xiang Qingmin was in a depressed mood, the QQ call had already been called, she showed a happy expression and picked up the phone.
"Hello? Baby, here I go again. ”
"Hmm!"
"Are you still playing the game tonight? Or do you continue to tell you stories to lull you to sleep? They are all such old people, and they still look like children. ”
"Let's play the game for a while! Then you tell me the story! ”
"Okay, let's go online."
……
"Love has made you too humble."
Du Ruo received this message from the same table, and turned off his mobile phone impatiently, he thought it was someone's message.
It doesn't matter if you're humble or something.
"Boss! Top dog! It's time to go to class! The little fat man opened the door and poked his head in, wanting to ask Du Ruo to go to class.
"No, I didn't sleep last night, I'm tired." Du Ruo shook his hand, and the little fat man retracted his head helplessly when he saw this, and went to class honestly.
It's been three days, and I'll always miss that sticky voice at school, and I'm completely out of mind in class, so it's better not to go. But Xiang Qingmin will come back today, so Du Ruo tossed and turned last night and couldn't sleep.
"It's been three days, and we're okay." Du Ruo's heart was beating nervously.
It took a long time for Xiang Qingmin to reply to the message.
"I really don't like you anymore, break up, that's all, okay?"
"Why...... Didn't you promise me? ”
Du Ruo didn't wait for a response any longer, and sighed.
That's it.
……
In the evening self-study, Du Ruo lay on the table and closed his eyes to recuperate.
"Boss, sister-in-law...... Xiang Qingmin is coming back tomorrow night, are you going to pick her up? The little fat man didn't know when he sat next to him, and whispered in Du Ruo's ear.
Du Ruo raised his head suddenly: "When?" ”
"I don't know, boss, you can ask her yourself......"
The next day, after Du Ruo finished dinner, he took a taxi and went straight to the station.
"It's probably eight o'clock." Xiang Qingmin finally replied.
Du Ruo was excited, looked at the time, it was already six o'clock.
It's almost there.
……
"You're back." Du Ruo reluctantly smiled, stepped forward to take the suitcase, and Xiang Qingmin naturally handed it to him.
"Hmm. Let's go back. ”
Vehicles weave through deserted street lamps, occasionally passing by a few happy families, and a few dog barks spread through the night and disappear into the black mountains.
Xiang Qingmin looked at her phone boringly, and Du Ruo was on the side, keeping looking at her side face.
"What do you think I'm doing?" Xiang Qing was sensitive to Du Ruo's gaze, and asked a little unhappily.
"It's fine." Du Ruo shook his head, his voice was a little choked, the night covered his tears, but he seemed a little ridiculous. Du Ruo turned her head slightly, and turned to the afterglow just enough to have her face.
I just want to see you a little longer, you may not know how much I miss you in the past, but you must be able to see in my eyes how much pain I have.
……
"What to do...... It will affect his studies, his grades are still very good, can't be because I ......" Xiang Qingmin kept thinking, the car drove fast, and he had already arrived at the intersection outside the school in ten minutes.
"The place has arrived, classmate." The driver urged.
"I'm a little hungry, go buy something to eat." As soon as Xiang Qingmin got out of the car, he ran to KFC, Du Ruo followed behind with his suitcase, without saying a word, but Xiang Qingmin could feel that Du Ruo had been watching him.
"No way...... Xiang Qingmin took the hamburger and ate while walking, Du Ruo followed behind him, until he walked to the school gate, walked to the corner, and walked to the path.
"We ...... Can I go back? Du Ruo pulled Xiang Qingmin's hand and wanted to stop her, Xiang Qingmin stopped and shook off Du Ruo's hand, Du Ruo lowered his head and looked at his hand.
Xiang Qingmin turned around and looked at Du Ruo's eyes, under the dim light, the eyes of the person in Du Ruo's eyes had changed.
"That's it, as long as you can get the first place in the school, we'll reconcile, okay?" Xiang Qingmin said suddenly.
Du Ruo glared for a moment, opened his mouth, and said word by word: "Really? ”
"Hmm. So let's talk about it, okay? Xiang Qingmin nodded with a smile.
"Hmm!" Du Ruo nodded heavily, and his freshly dried eyes were a little moist again.
"What are you doing here, you didn't shed a tear when we quarreled before." Xiang Qingmin raised his sleeves and helped Du Ruo wipe away his tears.
Du Ruo grinned, smiled, suddenly remembered something, took out a paper bag from his bag, and handed it to Xiang Qingmin.
"Originally, you said you would be back on Christmas Eve, but suddenly you won't come back, but yesterday was Christmas, so my Christmas present came late."
"It's DW's bracelet and there's a letter in it...... Ah, you don't have to read this letter now, we'll be reconciled anyway. ”
Xiang Qingmin took the bag and said thank you.
DW, wait for me.
Du Ruo looked at Xiang Qingmin's face, hesitated for a while, and said, "I can, kiss again...... Would you like to give it a hug? ”
Xiang Qingmin smiled, stepped forward, and hugged Du Ruo.
Du Ruo raised his head, and the three stars no longer twinkled as before, and their light became blurred and no longer connected in a line.
……
"Du Ruo, I don't have to go to class these days, you can go by yourself."
"Huh? Why? ”
"Because the teacher doesn't know I'm back, I'll be lazy for a few more days. Hurry up, I want to sleep a little longer. ”
"Then when you get out of school, can you come and pick me up and go back with you......"
"Hmm."
"Good! Hey, I'm going to class! ”
Du Ruo picked up his mobile phone, happily rushed down the stairs, ran to the breakfast shop outside the school gate to buy a sausage, ate three or two bites, and then walked into the school gate satisfied.
If you can get a little comfort from a broken heart, it will be easy to be satisfied.
……
After school, Du Ruo rushed ahead and rushed out of the school gate first, and saw her around the corner.
Du Ruo breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly ran over.
"The little fat man didn't hand in his Chinese homework today, and he was scolded by the teacher......" Du Ruo kept talking about what happened at school in the morning, and Xiang Qingmin listened quietly.
"Du Ruo, actually...... I have a boyfriend. Xiang Qingmin said suddenly.
Du Ruo was stunned for a moment, and then smiled reluctantly.
"Hey, don't tease me...... How could it be, you've only been away for a few days......"
"Well, it's actually a lie to you." Xiang Qingmin hesitated for a while, walked to the intersection, turned around and left.
……
On the third night, Du Ruo, like a few days ago, slipped out dozens of seconds early, but he didn't see the figure around that corner.
"Why didn't she come...... Why didn't she come......" Du Ruo lost his soul, took out his mobile phone, and asked her where she was.
"I'm out there, I'm not picking you up today."
Walking and walking, Du Ruo came to the intersection, and when the vehicles arrived here, they would slow down with the pedestrians, Du Ruo didn't know why he came here.
Suddenly, Du Ruo went crazy, turned around and ran, ran downstairs to Xiang Qingmin, and knocked on the door like crazy.
He didn't know why, his intuition told him that Xiang Qingmin was obviously at home.
Obviously there was no warning, but he just knew that Xiang Qingmin was at home, and she was no longer willing to pick him up.
"Who?" The landlord here was noisy, opened the door on the second floor, and asked a little angrily.
In the opposite house, Xiang Qingmin opened the door from the second floor, saw Du Ruo, stomped his feet, and rushed down.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's my classmate!"
Xiang Qingmin opened the door, pulled up Du Ruo, and walked all the way to the familiar intersection, which had always been the intersection where they had been separated.
"What the hell do you want?"
Xiang Qingmin's eyes did not have the previous warmth and love, only coldness.
It was colder than the late autumn nights.
