Chapter 65: Returning Home, Keeping It for You for the Rest of Your Life
When An Ruo arrived in T City, it was already late at night. There are always residents sitting outside the door with a fan on the bluestone road, the weather in July is extraordinary, and there is a cool breeze blowing from the side of the bridge at night, refreshing people's hearts.
Su Su asked Shi Nan to wait in the car, and Tong Ai took An Ruo out of the car to send her home. The people in the countryside are simple, and having a man by his side will always cause criticism.
There are not many people in the town, and the sound of small conversations is very heartwarming in An Ruo's ears. Such a quiet and peaceful place is the right place for her.
Tong Ai is a northerner, and he can't help but be happy when he sees such a water town at first glance, and even the streets are full of quaint and simple atmosphere, so it's no wonder that An Ruo has raised such a beautiful person. Su Su is very proud, and he is also a southerner.
Before he reached the door, the loquat tree in the courtyard began to hiss endlessly, as if welcoming An Ruo home.
When I got closer, I could vaguely hear the nagging of An's father and mother in the hospital.
"You say, it's so hot this day, and my Ruoruo's dormitory doesn't have an air conditioner, can she stand it?"
"You old man, your daughter doesn't give a good face when she goes out, and now you know that you're worried?"
"Well, why don't you pick the loquat another day and send it to her."
"Okay, pick up more points, so that the children in the dormitory can also be divided."
An Ruo outside the hospital had a sour nose, the most distressed children in the world are their parents, she was really unfilial before, when her parents called, she always hung up impatiently to say a few words, and now she really shouldn't think about it.
People are often the most fearless towards those closest to them.
I adjusted my mood and pushed the door in. "Mom and Dad, I'm back."
"Gee, why did you come back at this time? Is school alright? An's father and mother, who were fanning the pu fan on the rattan chair, saw An Ruo's eyes were pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly stepped forward to hold An Ruo's hand and looked up and down. In the end, I came to a conclusion: "I'm thin, I'm tired from reading." ”
Father An looked at Su Su and Tong Ai and asked; "What is this?"
The latter asked loudly: "Hello uncle and aunt, we are good friends of An Ruo, and we sent An Ruo back." "It looks polite.
The three of them exchanged glances, and their eyes were full of ridicule.
"Oh, good. It's all good kids. "Father An's eyes are loving.
An Ruo took Su Su and Tong Ai's hands, "It's so late, let's sleep here tonight, Mother An will cook you a delicious meal." He turned around and walked to the kitchen.
"Mother Ann, don't be busy. We'll have to go back later? ”
"Ah, it's so unsafe for you two girls to be so late."
"Don't worry, we drove here, and there is a male classmate waiting outside." Su Su refused, looking a little cramped.
"Oh, if our family is really bothering you. You haven't eaten yet, call that classmate together, it's not safe to drive at night, sleep at An's mother's house for one night, and go tomorrow. ”
An's mother made a final decision, urging to appease and pick up Shi Nan. Su Su and Tong Ai looked at each other, and it was not easy to shirk too much to accept.
This night, in order to welcome An Ruo home, An's mother made a table of dishes, and she didn't ask An Ruo why she went home in the middle of the semester.
An's father and mother vaguely guessed something, but they didn't say it. The table for six people, each with a treacherous mind.
After the meal, An Ruo took the initiative to confess everything. Automatically omitted some of the things that worried An's father and mother, such as her admission to the ICU and her coma for three days. I only said that I was so angry that I fainted unconsciously, and I woke up in the hospital.
After speaking, An Ruo felt a sense of relief, pulled her lips, relaxed her body, and leaned back in the chair.
No one spoke, Father An sat on the side making tea, looking at the white smoke rising from the curling, his expression was in a trance, and his thoughts were indestructible.
An's mother turned around and walked into the kitchen, An Ruo stood in the living room and hesitated for a while, then walked to the kitchen door, looked at An's mother's back and stopped talking, did not speak, and did not approach.
The first to break the silence was Mother An, at first it was a small sob, and then she couldn't suppress her distress, turned around and hugged An Ruo, with distress and complaints; "Every time I ask you how you're doing, you say yes. How can it be good to be bullied like this? Why don't you tell us when you're sick? Why didn't you tell us if you were hospitalized? You dead boy."
An Ruo lowered his head and bit his lower lip: "I wanted to call first, but my phone was confiscated." Then I got my phone, but I didn't know what to say. I'm afraid you're going to scold me..."
Speaking of this, An Ruo turned around and looked at the two behind him, frowning slightly, and his eyes were full of distress. An Ruo smiled, and that smile was accompanied by pain; "I thought about it, feelings can't be touched, it's enough for me to have you and friends. I've been beaten and scolded, and I'll never leave you again. Mom, the price paid for growing up is too great, and I still don't have enough courage to face all this alone. ”
An's mother stroked An Ruo's head with one hand, and her tone was very soft: "Okay, I won't leave my mother in the future." But once you have been bitten by a snake for ten years, the mentality of being afraid of the well rope is wrong, both parties are responsible for the failure of a relationship, and you can only prove that he is wrong, not that the love is wrong, you know? Idiot. ”
"Am I not stupid? Your daughter is a talented woman. Yiyi's tone is delicate, there is no grievance, no resentment, as if she is back in her childhood, when she was talking to her mother carefree.
The sound of the kettle became louder and louder, and it reached the ears, like a heart, restless.
"Tomorrow, I'll go and transfer you to another school. You are now recuperating at home for a period of time, and the judicial exam or something will be put on first, you are only a freshman, so you don't need to be in such a hurry. Father An picked up the kettle and poured it into the teapot, and the tea leaves that floated up were accompanied by the fragrant fragrance, and he spoke calmly.
An Ruo didn't say anything to refute, but the eyes that Su Su and Tong Ai handed to An Ruo were anxious, and they hesitated to speak, but they were stopped by Shi Nan beside them.
The head of the family opened his mouth, and the transfer was a certainty, and there was no room for maneuver. Seeing Gu Chu again at this time is to make An Ruo feel painful, this truth Su Su doesn't understand, but Shi Nan, who left the society early to survive, understands it very well.
That night, the three girls slept in the same bed together, and none of them could bear to sleep first, and they all wanted to fight for this last time together...
The sky was very dark, only a few red lanterns in front of the window emitted a hazy light, An Ruo slept in the middle, shook the hands of the two people beside him and placed them at his side, and said softly: "Thank you." She knew very well how much pressure the two of them would have to carry Gu Chu back to send her back, Su Su was still in the law department, and in the future...
Su Su clenched her hand, "You remember, we helped you voluntarily. You don't need to feel guilty. ”
Ah Sheng smiled, that smile seemed relieved, but it would be nice if he could be truly relieved...
Tong Ai turned around, looked at An Ruo's calm side face, and said softly: "We won't be together from now on, you have to take care of yourself." Don't cut off contact with us, or I'll come to your house to ask you about your guilt. ”
As soon as the words fell, the three of them laughed, and Su Su also added a sentence later; "Yes, you can't disconnect."
That night, the three little girls talked a lot next to each other, and had a deeper understanding of love, family, and friendship. As Yu Qiuyu said, no matter how important you are in the future, one day you will flee from the hustle and bustle, riding alone in a lonely boat, and just want to fight against the mountains and rivers. If you go far, you may meet a person, like a woodcutter, like a passer-by, who appears in the middle of you and the mountains and rivers. But the way of heaven cannot tolerate such perfection, you are destined to lose him, and at the same time, you will lose most of your life.
An Ruo is very glad that their encounter is fate, and there is no loss. It doesn't matter if you are separated.
.....
S City, at the gate of the Gu family's mansion, Gu Chu stood under the street lamp and smoked a cigarette, the light dragged his figure for a long time, revealing loneliness and desolation. Before I knew it, there were already a dozen cigarette butts under my feet, and I had obviously been standing for a long time.
The next person reported that Gu Chu was at the door, and Liao Hanrong hurriedly roared out of the door, and saw Gu Chu with a gloomy face.
"I think you're addicted to smoking." The elders are most disgusted with the smoking of the juniors, and when they see it, they inevitably want to persuade them.
As a mother, she cherished Gu Chu very much, and when she saw Lu Zichu coming back, she forcibly pulled him into the courtyard gate, motioned him to sit down, and personally brewed a cup of flower tea and brought it to him: "Drink tea to nourish your body." ”
Gu Chu sat on the sofa, raised his eyes and asked Liao Hanrong, his pupils were deep, without a trace of emotion, "Mom, where is my dad?" ”
"His old comrade-in-arms' son got married today, and the two brothers are going to get together in the evening." The words are full of helplessness.
Liao Hanrong wanted to go into the kitchen and bring some fruit out, but was stopped by Gu Chu, "Don't be busy, I'm not a guest." ”
Liao Hanrong shook Gu Chu's hand and patted it gently; "When the child is older, he will be a guest when he comes home."
Gu Chu lowered his eyes, "Mom, An Ruo is gone." She said she didn't want to see me again in her life, what should I do? The corners of his mouth tugged at the corners of his mouth, and the smile had intermittent pauses, weak and empty.
Liao Hanrong sighed, "Don't worry, you did it, and you should suffer the consequences." Since she can meet you in a huge T city, it means that the two of you are destined. It's not that she doesn't love anymore, she withdraws, and she is more considerate and rational about you. Trust me, time will tell, take your time. ”
Gu Chu took a deep breath, and there seemed to be an undercurrent surging in his eyes, afraid that her reason and consideration would strangle their love.
Gu Chu didn't speak, and Liao Hanrong's sigh before leaving lingered in the room, faintly melancholy.
The chrysanthemum tea in the white porcelain cup is fragrant and cold, from hot to cool, no one tastes it.
Even though they haven't been together for a long time, they are enough to remember it in their hearts, and if they want to forget, it takes a lifetime of hard work.
He just wanted to hold her hand, simple and ordinary. Let the time pass and the idealism will remain unchanged, the water will flow for a long time, and the days that will last forever are what she wants the most, and what she wants to do for him the most.
Raised his hand and sent a text message to the mobile phone number that had been turned off; "I have always had your place in my heart, and I will keep it for you for the rest of my life."
Slowly put down the phone and pulled the corners of his mouth, the smile was bitter.
