Chapter 23: The College Entrance Examination is Coming (1)
The days after Cheng Qingyu came back seemed to have been pressed by someone to press the fast-forward button, as if he hadn't had time to lament the passing yesterday, and a new day couldn't wait. The college entrance examination that made all the high school juniors nervous and excited also came as scheduled, and the school gave them two days off in order to relieve their nervousness. Also unable to sit still was Guo Mujia, who took advantage of the absence of her own family and quietly asked Wu Wei to come out.
When Wu Wei found the dessert shop, Guo Mujia had already arrived for a while, and half of the mango mille-feuille cake he ordered had already been eaten.
"Wu Wei! Over here! Guo Mujia saw the figure she was looking for and waved at her.
"The one you chose is too remote, I followed the navigation to find it." Wu Wei rubbed his somewhat sore legs and complained softly.
Guo Mujia stuck out her tongue mischievously and hurriedly ordered a cup of bubble tea for Wu Wei.
"I'm almost suffocating at home, if I don't call you out to breathe the wind, the flowers of my motherland are about to wither!" Guo Mujia tasted the dessert beautifully, but her delicate face was full of distress.
Wu Wei can also empathize very much, if he is at school, the time will pass for a while to fight with his classmates, and he will not think too much about the college entrance examination. As soon as I was at home during the holidays, my ears were full of my mother's various instructions and supervision, and this time I came out or found a bad excuse to go to the same school to review.
"Wu Wei, have you ever thought about which university you want to go to?" Guo Mujia bit the straw and asked Wu Wei, who was immersed in dessert, with anticipation.
"Yes, A, I've heard that the winter is very beautiful there. It's all snowy as far as the eye can see, and it's so romantic. Wu Wei is a typical southern child, she has never seen the whole white world, she has longed for thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow drifting place since she was a child, and now she finally has the opportunity to choose, A is big, naturally it has become her first choice.
Guo Mujia pouted helplessly, she was a very nostalgic person, and she hoped that she could go to school with Wu Wei, but she was afraid of the cold since she was a child, and her voice was a little depressed: "If it snows in winterγγγ it's very cold." β
Wu Wei smiled and shook his head, who didn't want to fulfill that little dream in his heart?
The two talked and laughed, the afternoon was fleeting, and before leaving, they packed a piece of their mother's favorite fruit cake. On the way home, she was full of joy and thought that her mother would like the cake she bought when she saw it.
Unfortunately, she was wrong.
When he was about to arrive at the door, Wu Wei heard the sound of violent quarrels in the house, and the sound of porcelain being smashed on the ground and cracking, the sound was sharp and harsh, as if long nails were scraping on a piece of wood, and Wu Wei's scalp began to tingle.
"You can't go! I know you're going to find that little goblin, you can't leave our mother and daughter alone! β
"She's pregnant, I have to take care of her!"
"What about Xiao Wei, Xiao Wei is about to take the college entrance examination, she knows that she will collapse!"
What his father said later, Wu Wei couldn't hear it anymore. She suddenly understood why she couldn't see her father all these days, it turned out that her father, her dearest person, had chosen to abandon her. She clutched the bag of the cake, pretended not to hear anything, and walked into the room very calmly.
The house was in a mess, and she was not surprised, but raised the cake in her hand and shook it happily at her mother: "Mom, I bought you your favorite fruit cake, come and taste it, it's delicious!" β
Mother Wu knew that her daughter was delicate, and seeing her like this, most of them had heard the quarrel just now. She walked over, bent down, and slowly hugged her daughter, crying silently.
Wu Wei still didn't say anything, took care of himself and opened the cake, took a spoon and inserted a small piece and handed it to his mother, smiling extremely sweetly: "Mom, you taste this cake, it's really delicious, really." β
Father Wu stood in place embarrassedly, looking at his crying wife and his well-behaved and sensible daughter, and sighed silently in his heart.
"Xiaowei, Dad didn't fulfill his responsibilities, it's Dad who is wrong. Dad is very selfish, but there are some things that you may be able to understand when you grow up. You have to listen to your mother, and your father will come to see you often in the future. Father Wu couldn't bear to look at it anymore, so he took his suitcase and turned around and left. I didn't notice that the gray despair in my daughter's eyes was spreading little by little.
That day, Wu Wei himself forgot how it ended, only knowing that his mother cried for a long, long time, and finally did not eat the fruit cake she bought. It seems that from that day on, she began to hate all desserts.
There are still three days before the college entrance examination, Wu Wei, who was originally curious about everything, seems to have been reborn, he is not interested in anything, he is listless and lying on the table all day long, even Guo Mujia came to talk to her, she loved to ignore it.
"Wu Wei, what's wrong? It looks like he's very unhappy. Guo Mujia didn't know what happened to Wu Wei, and after touching the wall a few times, she began to try to ask Cheng Qingyu.
Cheng Qingyu also felt that something was wrong, but he only had two days off, so Wu Wei became like he didn't know anything at all. He should be the first person to feel that Wu Wei was wrong, because of the difference between boys and girls, he endured it and didn't ask. However, looking at Wu Wei's cold attitude towards Guo Mujia, he inexplicably felt that the matter was a little serious.
"Wu Wei, can I go with you after school?" Cheng Qingyu grabbed Wu Wei, who was about to leave with his schoolbag, and asked her seriously.
Wu Wei nodded indifferently and continued to walk forward by himself, and Cheng Qingyu hurriedly followed.
Cheng Qingyu took two steps, seeing that she was still that lifeless, he asked tentatively: "Wu Wei, do you have anything on your mind recently?" β
Wu Wei shook his head lightly, lowered his neck and continued to walk forward. Cheng Qingyu still didn't give up.
"If you have anything, you must tell me, don't hide it in your heart, it will put you under a lot of pressure."
Wu Wei stopped and stared at him thoughtfully.
Cheng Qingyu knew that he was about to find a breakthrough, so he hurriedly continued: "Last time my grandmother died, how did you comfort me?" Everything will be fine, right? As long as you are willing to let yourself go, everything will be as you wish. β
Wu Wei pursed his lips, and his voice carried a hint of crying: "No, it will never be as I wish again." β
Cheng Qingyu was anxious and asked her nervously: "What won't go as you wish?" β
Wu Wei raised his head, his eyes were always full of smiles on weekdays, but at this time, tears were already rippling, and huge tears fell down his cheeks in a hurry, smashing out a miserable appearance on the back of his hand.
"Cheng Qingyu, my father, will never be with me forever as I wish. Nothing will get better again. Wu Wei's voice was choked, and every sentence was condensed. From the day her father left, she kept telling herself not to shed tears or to be sad. Until today, she collapsed in front of Cheng Qingyu.
Cheng Qingyu was heartbroken, and couldn't help but reach out and hug the girl in front of him who seemed to disappear as soon as the wind blew, he patted her back gently, and his tone was gentle and firm: "Don't be afraid, I will always be with you." β
