Chapter Seventy-Seven: Self-Control and Leaving the Cause of Sorrow
Xinchen"
A call walked into the gray utility room, the sweat-soaked shirt, the back with half-wet hair hanging on his forehead piled up the desk and turned around, he asked in surprise: "Xiyan, why are you here?" ”
The two of them hadn't looked at each other like this for a long time, and Xiang Xiyan thought of Xian Xinchen's kind words to herself on weekdays, and her heart was throbbing shallowly through a thin needle, and she couldn't be sure how long it hurt.
Xiang Xiyan lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyebrows, blushed, and slowly spoke for a few seconds: "Xinchen, I thought about it for a long time on the way here, and I wanted to stop several times, but I still came." ”
"What's the matter? I've been so troubled by you. Xian Xinchen's words were straight to the point, with a hint of indifference in politeness.
Xiang Xiyan said with persuasion: "Xinchen, if you refuse to go back to the company because of me, then I can hand over all the projects to them to deal with, I just think you should go back." ”
Xian Xinchen continued to move the work in his hand: "No, don't think about it, it's not because of you. ”
"But I don't think so, for the sake of our cooperation, we should have a good talk, right? And you're always avoiding me. ”
After listening to Xiang Xiyan's words, Xian Xinchen didn't speak, just stepped on the stool, thought about piling the chair in his hand high, and then got off the stool and stood in front of her, "If there is anything, you can find Dylan, my secretary represents me..."
With a "clang", the stools that had been stacked just now fell apart one after another, and they fell heavily and loudly on the floor.
The distance between the two people was so close for the first time because of this almost accident. But a few more seconds didn't last, and when his chest clearly felt the frequency of her heartbeat, he pushed her away.
Xian Xinchen put the stools and chairs back up neatly and securely with a cold face.
"Thank you, I'll go first."
He left Xiang Xiyan, who was standing in place, and went out by himself. He originally thought that he would leave the road so quietly, but he didn't want to see Jiang Xiaomian and Xiang Dongyang walking hand in hand as soon as he reached the staircase.
"Brother, let's look for you and see what you're up to."
Jiang Xiaomian greeted him very happily, and Xian Xinchen raised the corners of his mouth and laughed in surprise: "Dongyang? You're back? ”
Xiang Dongyang nodded, and then saw her sister appear from behind Xian Xinchen. The four of them were stunned for a moment.
"Dongyang..."The voice calling to Xiyan was in an unbelievable tone, "When did you come back?" ”
Xiang Dongyang knew that he couldn't lie in front of his sister, so he prevaricated: "I haven't had time to inform you yet." ”
"Oh."
Because of Xian Xinchen's existence, Xiang Xiyan couldn't say anything else, just asked casually: "I'm going home, will you go with me?"
Xiang Dongyang smiled at his sister and looked at Jiang Xiaomian beside him, he didn't speak, but the meaning of his eyes was obvious, that is, the meaning of "Sister, I want to accompany my girlfriend and my friends".
"Yes, you stay. I'm also redundant. Xiang Xiyan was bored with himself and left alone.
Leaving the three people in disregard, no one opened their mouths to stay.
Xiang Dongyang quietly glanced at Xian Xinchen, thinking that he would chase after Xi Yan, but he didn't react, and even his eyes were evading.
Xian Xinchen, Wu Yuanhao, Xiang Xiyan, these three people are really embarrassed! Xiang Dongyang thought to himself, one is his own sister, and the other is his girlfriend's iron friend, who can he help to speak? Stay neutral.
Xiang Xiyan walked out of the school, hesitated at the intersection in front of him, and made up his mind all the way when he came. It was to persuade Xian Xinchen to return to the company, but because of Xiang Dongyang and Jiang Xiaomian's troubles, they didn't say a word properly, and they were very upset.
"Flames..."
Suddenly, a familiar voice called, and Xiang Xiyan searched hard in his sleeping memories for whose voice it belonged to. When she turned to look, yes, she almost forgot about this woman.
"Would you like to call me?" Xiang Xiyan still has to be sure, because every time he comes here, Wu Yuanhao refuses to see anyone.
Today she took the initiative to show up, outside the example.
Wu Yuanhao nodded, "Can we go over there and talk?" ”
There is no exact place on the side that Wu Yuanhao is referring to, what she means is that she hopes to go further.
The tidal river that belongs to the suburbs of Erxi City rolls up the lonely stone bank of a thousand years along the embankment in the twilight, and then retreats back to the river little by little, and rolls up again for countless days and nights, and repeats itself in vain.
Wu Yuanhao's eyes watched the tide rise and fall, until a question came to his ears.
"We've come a long way, what exactly do you want to say?"
The tide seemed to be listening deliberately, and gradually the wind and waves calmed down.
"Xiyan, thank you."
seems to be a light-spoken thanks, but it hides Wu Yuanhao's deep sin.
Xiang Xiyan accepted a thank you for no reason, very incomprehensible, "What does this thank you mean?" ”
Wu Yuanhao looked at Xiang Xiyan's eyes, which were shining with envy, like dying and struggling withered grass looking up at the begonias that bloom all year round.
"Xi Yan, I'm not like you, you have a high education, know how to be generous, and know the truth. I am not so noble, only the selfishness and narrow-mindedness of ordinary people. For so many years, as long as Xinchen doesn't take the initiative to leave me, I won't turn him away thousands of miles away. The conflicts between him and his family are all for me, but he keeps his mouth shut, and I just treat it as if nothing happened. He personally wore the ring on my hand, and I fantasized that one day I would be his bride......"
Wu Yuanhao's words were only halfway through, and the tears rolled out in big pieces, like ripe soybeans popping on the ground and making a snapping sound, and the choked voice behind him had long been unable to distinguish the words. In fact, in the past five years, the guilty heart of the good has felt that it has been bitten by the gears, and it has been running over machinery over time, suffering severe pain and long suffering...
The afterglow fell on her cheeks, and her face, which was already red from crying, turned even redder.
Xiang Xiyan sniffed, and the tip of his nose began to redden, "I wish it was good, because of the family relationship, I want to marry Xinchen, that's easy." At the same time, you can't compare to me, you just got to know Xinchen just a step earlier. I should hate you, it's not that I don't want to hate, it's that I can't hate..."
"You don't have to hate anymore, because I..." Before the words were finished, Wu Yuanhao lowered his head and continued to sobb for several seconds, and then continued the words for a long time: "I'll be right away... Immediately left... The departure of the deceased. ”
The birds screamed and fluttered on the riverbank, and after dividing Wu Yuanhao's words, they flew towards the brightest light in the sky, and some white feathers followed the duckweed to the water, covering its own reflection.
Xiang Xiyan was afraid that he had misheard, so he looked at Wanhao with suspicious eyes, "Where are you going?" ”
"Loess Ridge."
Wu Yuanhao can say these four words, it is a poem mentioned by Xiaomian when she told her a story before, and the complete sentence is "The loess ridge sends white bones", Wu Yuanhao remembered it at that time.
Xiang Xiyan closed his eyes heavily, not wanting to make him sad. So, he quietly turned sideways and wiped the tear stain from his cheek before saying, "How come, are you sure?"
Wu Yuanhao nodded, covered his tearful face and said, "It's been half a year since I relapsed...... Dr. Tan said that I was just holding on to my last breath. In fact, that is also a kind of greed, delusional to be able to accompany Xinchen for more time..."
Xiang Xiyan frowned and asked, "So, he still doesn't know anything?" And who knows? ”
Wu Yuanhao nodded, took Xiang Xiyan's hand, and explained for a long time: "I have already thought of the resignation, and I will leave quietly..."
"Are you really going to do that?"
The light carries sorrow and welcomes the twilight second by second, like a witch who can cast spells, killing all good hopes. Wu Yuanhao's eyes were hazy with tears, and her answer was undoubtedly positive.
"Even then, he'll go crazy and look for you all over the world." Xiang Xiyan grabbed the hand of the wish, swallowed her tears and shook her head, she couldn't bear to imagine such a picture.
"No, you mobilized your overseas connections, found someone to pretend to be my parents, and videotaped me in front of everyone, saying that you would take me to live abroad for a period of time, but there was no news. Gradually, people will forget and think that I am living a good life......"
"Paper can't hold the fire, how hard it should be for people to accept when they find out the truth..."
Xiang Xiyan's words were interrupted, and Wu Yuanhao didn't seem to want to listen any more, "That's it." ”
The sentence "That's it", the night also emitted a heavy regret.
A few days later, it was like that.
Even the old man can't bear to count, how many days are those short days.
Before leaving, Wu Yuanhao sewed up the clothes of the children in the orphanage; I am afraid that they have just learned to pickle the pickled beans that are not delicious, so they have prepared a lot; Those children are often careless when they read books, and the corners of the books are always rolled up, and Wu Yuanhao smooths the wrinkles one by one and then flattens them with a wooden stool; And the rubber bands they stepped on and played with were already black, and Wu Yuanhao also cleaned those things to the point of whiteness......
For example, during the rainy season, children should not be allowed to go to the mountains to pick mushrooms; When they were out of school, they were warned not to take the ridge road because they were unlucky enough to be a little frog, and they would meet snakes; Also, when you bake a charcoal fire in winter, you must open the window, don't be afraid of the cold wind blowing in...
In the end, Wu Yuanhao also persuaded Xian Xinchen to go home. At that time, Xian Xinchen was so happy, he always said that he finally had a family, and took her to buy a wedding dress, saying that when her parents came back from there, he would officially propose...
……
"May I be able to come back soon."
"Good..."
"Sister Wu, you take care of yourself over there."
"Good..."
"I hope yes, I'll miss you so much."
"Me too."
"Wish, goodbye..."
"Xiaomian, Xinchen, Daying, goodbye..."
……
Rock Bean Town.
Farewell is like a broken candle burning, how anxious the sound of "swishing" is! Consuming the oxygen of longing, the expectation of reunion, and then the infinite expectation is gradually dried, solidified, and discarded in the corner.
This evening's fire clouds came, red and red, like a volcano erupting a crater that burned half of the sky. It is also the sky that belongs to Changnan that burns so far away that I can't see which direction the sky of Changnan is, and I don't know what color the sky that has seen the stars has been burned.
But the sky in Rock Bean Town is very red, and the tiled blue houses here are dyed a kite.
Yandou Town is a small town under the jurisdiction of Changnan, covering an area of more than one hundred square kilometers.
Wu Yuan lay lazily on the wooden rattan nightbed, and in the corner of the wall behind her lay a long creeper, dressed in green leaves dancing with the breeze, but in the end it was still red by the burning clouds of half the sky.
She squinted at the clouds in the sky, the white horse became a red horse, the white pig became a golden pig... It's a beautiful color, everything is like a dream.
"Tonight, Daystar won't come out." Wu Yuan thought about moving his body for a moment, and heard the sound of enlightenment coming from the gate outside the courtyard gate.
"Oh yes, it's home!"
Forget the year and walked in with a small schoolbag across the door, Wu Yuanhao thought to himself, once upon a time, Daying and they also called like this.
"Good sister, look, I won the first place in the Olympiad today!"
Xiao Wangnian held a scroll full of red hooks, dangling it in front of her eyes, and the burning cloud was reflected in the white paper, and she could barely read the title on the scroll.
However, even if she saw it clearly, she couldn't understand it. I could only smile at the kid.
"Auntie, you go this way."
Wu Yuanhao got up after hearing Tan Yu's voice, straightened the very short ends of her hair that was lying in a mess, and thought to herself with a condensed look at the door, "Is there a guest here today?"
Seeing a woman about forty years old, dressed in ordinary clothes coming into the door, when Tan Yu approached with the woman, Wu Yuanhao felt that she should be sixty years old, her sallow face was covered with obvious wrinkles, and her dry hair began to hide white hair, although her slightly rickety back was not obvious, she looked old when she looked carefully.
Tan Yu introduced to the woman: "Aunt He, she is my patient, her name is Yuanhao." ”
"I wish she was the nurse I hired, just call her Aunt He."
Face to face, Wu Yuanhao looked at this Aunt He, she looked at her eyes very strangely, so strange that she couldn't speak, and when she was nervous, there was an inexplicable tremor in her body, and this tremor was not trembling. It's as if a billiard ball has been touched by a cue and rolled into the pocket. The heart immediately beat tightly, and the blood in the body seemed to circulate from head to toe at the fastest speed, and finally flowed back to the heart.
Tan Yu helped Wu Yuanhao, "What's wrong with you, your face is white." ”
Wu Yuanhao came back to his senses and felt a little embarrassed, a person who would die at any time, there was really no need to waste this money, "Tan Yu, I've already caused you trouble here, how can I be embarrassed to ask someone to take care of me?" ”
"How can it be troublesome, this kind of small township is not as good as Changnan, I am afraid that you are not used to living in a place where you are not used to it, plus I brought the New Year here, nominally to accompany you to relieve your boredom, but in fact it will cause you trouble."
As a single father, Tan Yu has a familiar and steady side, but he is also a character cultivated by his profession, and he is old-fashioned in all aspects, serious and old-fashioned. Talking to him is like throwing a clever bean into a stuffy gourd, and the beans are sulking and still as they jump in the dark, and they can't make much joke with each other.
Forget the year and tugged at the corner of Tan Yu's clothes next to him: "Dad, I won't make trouble for my sister." When you say it's fun, you reach out for a hug.
Tan Yu gently patted his son's hand, revealing Yan's father's face, "You are in the first grade this year, and you are no longer a kindergarten child." ”
"No, no! I'm going to hug it! ”
The father still refused, and Xiao Wangnian straightened the corners of his mouth and sat on the ground with his face down.
Seeing this, Aunt He wanted to make a joke of him, and bent her knees and stretched out her hand to forget the year, "Is it okay to hug that auntie!" ”
"No, I just want my dad to hug me!" Forget the year stretched out his little hand and slapped Aunt He's palm in disgust, the little palm slapped loudly, and it curled the other side of the lips to express its refusal.
Tan Yu immediately stretched his face as long as a donkey, and accused unhappily: "Xiao Nian, quickly apologize to Aunt He." ”
Xiao Wangnian turned his face and didn't say a word, shook out the building blocks from the toy box, built and pushed down, pushed and rebuilt, and the whole process was a gambled face.
Tan Yu smiled apologetically at Aunt He: "This child was spoiled before, and he was a little rude, Aunt He, don't be surprised."
Aunt He looked at Xiao Wangnian, and the kindness in her eyes made her eyes dull, "Parents are used to their children, and children are very happy." ”
Soon, a sentence that could not be heard suddenly came out in front of everyone:
"I'm a motherless child, my dad doesn't love me, only my grandfather loves me in the family."
Xiao Wangnian stared at the obsidian eyes, as bright as jewels, and although the words were very calm, they all felt very sharp when they listened to them. Forget the year and kicked the set blocks under the table, and then ran to the yard to sit on the swing and play alone, but no one helped him push the swing. He originally wanted to call "May my good sister come and help me push the swing", but he remembered his father's advice and said that he wanted his good sister to be a patient and not let her be too tired. So, Xiao Wangnian shut his mouth and sat there shaking his feet and looking up at the burning clouds in the sky.
Later, when Aunt He saw that Tan Yu was not in front of her, she quietly asked Wu Yuanhao, "If you are good, the child's mother ......."
Wu Yuanhao sighed, if you want to say how long you have known Tan Yu, it is also a long answer, I think it has been about ten years. But when did Tan Yu pop up with a son, Wu Yuanhao really didn't know very well, and he had heard Tan Yu talk about it.
It seems that Tan Yu's girlfriend abandoned them when she gave birth to the New Year. The child is only seven years old this year. After Wu Yuanhao finished speaking, he gritted his teeth with hatred, "There are many ruthless mothers in the world, and when they look back at the children they abandoned at the beginning, they don't know how much their conscience will hurt......"
After all, he is also not wanted by his parents, and there are so many abandoned children in the orphanage, Wu Yuanhao mentioned these things, and blurted out indignantly when he talked about it, and Aunt He stood next to him for a long time without squeaking. When Wu Yuanhao turned his head and wanted to ask Aunt He about her children, he saw her eyes teeful, thinking that she might have an unhappy past, so scared that Wu Yuanhao didn't dare to ask more.
