Chapter 016: You and Me & Cold
"I'm also going to the hospital, and we're together." Ji Lan glanced at her with an absent-minded look, "It's definitely not okay for you to visit your uncle like this, you are listless, your dark circles are heavy, and you look like you owe a lot of money to others." β
Yu Remiao raised her head in astonishment and met his eyes reflected in the sun, "Hmm." I didn't mean to. β
"Don't think too much, be happy." After Ji Lan finished speaking, he pointed to the corner of his mouth, "Smile for ten years." β
"Hmm." Yu Rei Nae's reluctant smile was a little ugly. Ji Lan stared at it and wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, so he could only glance.
"Thank you for visiting my dad." Yu Limiao raised her head again and said, "Actually, my dad's injury is not very serious, and my mother is worried that there is a problem, so she forced my dad to stay overnight, wait for all the test results to come out, and be discharged if he is fine." β
Ji Lan was very happy that she would take the initiative to talk about it, so that he wouldn't know where to start, and he would worry about whether he was nosy.
"It's okay if your uncle is fine, it's okay if it's okay." The smile on Ji Lan's face infected Yu Limiao, "If I'm not mistaken, it was your aunt and father yesterday, right?" β
Yu Limiao was startled, and was about to open her mouth to ask him how he knew that this knotted eye 261 was coming from a distance on the left-hand side, Ji Lan turned her head and stopped asking, and let her walk in front of her and get into the car.
There were only a few people in the carriage, and the two chose seats side by side.
Maybe it's because the car is so quiet, so quiet that it seems to be noisy to say something softly, Yu Limiao left the words in her stomach, and was ready to ask again when she had the opportunity to ask. And Ji Lan quietly took out the pure white headphones from his trouser pocket, pinched the headphone head of his left ear and handed it to her, and gave her a warm smile.
The song fish Rei Nae played is very familiar to several songs, all of which were once looped by their own singles, and the rhythm is so familiar that I unconsciously think of Conan and Hayao Miyazaki's movie screens.
It turns out that he likes these too.
Yu Limiao thought, staring sideways at the scene and thing that was constantly thrown behind outside the car window, and was a little glad that she had bumped into him.
He was like a thief, secretly turning his head to peek, the corners of her mouth pursed a faint smile, his heart was as sweet as eating honey.
There are fifty-six stops near the hospital, about an hour's drive, and the two of them get off the bus back and forth, and the oncoming wind blows on the two slightly red fluttering faces.
"Yu Limiao, you wait for me here." Ji Lan took off her headphones and stuffed them with her mobile phone.
Yu Limiao had just said a word, and Ji Lan's people had already run away.
Seven or eight minutes passed.
"Sorry to keep you waiting." Ji Lan was carrying a bag of fruits, his head covered with sweat, "Let's go." β
"You're still a student, we're glad to go and see us, what else to buy?" Yu Remiao spoke in a tone that was just like her parents, but it was only for this moment.
"This is my heart for my uncle, you may have forgotten, when I was a child, my uncle was very kind to me, and he gave me pocket money to buy delicious food at the commissary."
Yu Limiao really couldn't remember, "Hmm." I'm sorry, I really forgot. β
"It's fine."
Yu Limiao gritted her teeth, grabbed Ji Lan's sleeve and stopped, "How much do you remember about my family?" β
How much do you remember?
Ji Lan didn't know how much she remembered, how many aunts Yu Limiao had, their appearance, who was the best for her...... He kept it all in his mind, but he didn't say a word, just smiled, stared at her eyes, took her hand and went to the hospital together.
Yu Limiao's father did not have a serious head injury, he had two stitches, and he did not have the concussion status he feared. But the mood is not good, and he was born with a serious face, but now he looks even more stern and terrifying.
Also, if your brother-in-law deliberately gets drunk and beats people because of borrowing money, no one will be in a better mood.
Here's the thing: At three or four o'clock that day, Yu Limiao's father and third brother-in-law came to the house to scold and scold for almost half an hour before it stopped, and he couldn't listen to other people's words, and the two stood facing each other, and there was only an arm's length between them. No one would have thought that relatives would start beating people.
Yu Limiao's mother came home and saw her husband's forehead bleeding, and found that her brother-in-law was drunk and waved the wine bottle in her hand indiscriminately, she was frightened, and immediately called the police, and then ran behind her husband and helped him to the door.
Later, before the police arrived, Yu Remiao's mother took her husband to the hospital.
As for the inside of the house, the neighbor on the opposite side told the police exactly what he had heard and seen.
The reason after getting drunk and beating people is nothing more than money.
Yu Limiao's father didn't want to have too much money with his relatives, especially when it came to borrowing money, and he had learned a lesson before. I borrowed the money and didn't say it, but the other party didn't consciously repay the money when the time came, and said a lot of sour things. In the end, because of money, it will fade away.
This time it was the third child who borrowed money from Yu Limiao's mother, and the amount of money was not much, but he loved to drink and talk nonsense. I usually like to tell people outside that the sixth child of my wife's house is not a thing, and my mother doesn't raise it, so I left it at my sister's house, which is not like words...... The day was even more chattering.
Yu Limiao's father collects debts, this thing seems wrong to outsiders, and they will think: No matter how you say it, they are all sisters, there is no need to collect debts, they are not good people, and they are easy to offend people.
Many outsiders don't know that Yu Limiao's father is also angry. The third child himself was already planning to tear the face between the two, scolding him in front of him for not being a person, and the family property was all his own, speaking of which, his sisters should have a share.
He also sat at Yu Limiao's father's house with a dead face, saying that he would not leave if he didn't get the family property.
Yu Limiao's father was too lazy to beat a drunk man, but he never expected to be beaten.
And the details of this matter were not known until a long time ago. The status of those relatives naturally plummeted in her heart, and she could never go back to the past.
- At this moment
Yu Limiao's father saw Ji Lan with fruit to come to see him, and he was very moved, and a smile gradually appeared on his face. He didn't want the two children to stay in the hospital all the time, so he didn't talk long before urging the children to go home quickly.
From the hospital to the station, the two walked all the way and talked all the way.
Ji Lan is happy to tell Yu Remiao about what happened to them when they were children.
Yu Limiao has to think about it for a while every time she hears something, but unfortunately, the relevant shadows in her mind are still very vague.
"Actually, do you have to always hold on to the past and not let go," Ji Lan said, the earphone cable wrapped around the ring finger of his right hand, "The past is the past, the present is the present, and it's not too late for us to get to know each other from now on, what do you say?" β
Yu Limiao was slightly stunned, and couldn't laugh if she wanted to, "It's the same." β
Ji Lan felt her low pressure and asked with concern, "Are you still unhappy about your uncle's affairs?" β
"No," Yu Remiao shook her head, "You're only half right, the past is indeed in the past, but it's always there, unless you want to forget." With that, she naturally raised her head and looked sideways at him.
"No, that's not what I meant." Ji Lan understood the meaning of the words, "I didn't say that it doesn't matter, but I hope you understand me from now on." β
"Hmm." Yu Limiao smiled, her smile more dazzling and bright than the sunshine that spilled down, "I will." β
Ji Lan laughed together, laughing, laughing, and the two realized that they had gone the wrong way.
"Hahaha, I didn't find it at all." Ji Lan looked stunned and excited.
Yu Remiao covered her mouth and couldn't help laughing, "Me too, I didn't notice it at all." β
The bus that went back was not as lucky as before to sit all the way to the destination, the two of them each pulled the yellow railings on both sides of the back door, occasionally looked sideways at each other, even if someone in the middle squeezed in, Ji Lan would do his best to move to Yu Limiao's side, so that the white earphone cable became an important connection between the two, playing:
The climax of Wang Sulong's "Only You Know My Heart":
Oh, I'm behind you
Hold your hand secretly
You are not allowed to be shy and sleepwalk happily with me
Oh, touch your head gently
Go for a walk in the park
Leaning his head on my chest and listening to the beat
- In a high-end apartment
Gu Ying was wearing a white bathrobe and stood next to the open cooking table. Transparent droplets of water run down the ends of the hair and fall on the white tiles with dark lines, and the body exudes a mysterious floral fragrance.
He drank the two hundred and fifty milliliters of mineral water in one gulp, and after twisting the cap with his wheat-colored slender fingers, he turned his back to the trash can placed a few meters away, and threw it away at will, and the empty bottle fell steadily into the barrel in an arc.
"Lele, you're finally back. Go upstairs and find your dad. "The woman who spoke, with her most ordinary hairstyle and ordinary clothes, was gentle and virtuous, and she knew at a glance that she was a typical housewife.
Gu Ying didn't even look back, and his tone was stiff: "Hmm." With that, he bent down to open the small refrigerator, pulled out a chocolate-flavored ice cream, and reflexively walked towards the staircase.
Every time he went home, Gu Ying felt that he was just walking in a five-star hotel, the long corridors, the dim and contrived lights and the deliberately added atmosphere to the wallpaper in the ghost films, which made him disgusted and wanted to leave.
Without knocking, he unscrewed the door of the room at the end of the hallway, and by the way, he impatiently tore off the wooden sign that had been hung on the door: Do Not Disturb and threw it into the trash can on the side.
"Remember to knock next time!" The man who spoke, his face flushed when he looked at his son, "Change into serious clothes and come to see me." β
As if he hadn't heard it, Jiao'er Lang leaned against the mahogany door frame and continued to eat ice cream with relish.
One minute, two minutes...... Five minutes.
"Gu Ying!" The man's anger deepened, but when he thought that his son had finally come home, he held back his anger, "Okay, you come here." β
Gu Ying walked over with an unhappy face when he heard this. "What are you looking for me?"
The man sat down again and closed the document in his hand, "It's okay to go to the same school for the night in junior high school, now that you are in high school, you will be an adult in a short time, don't continue to be naΓ―ve, go home after school and do your homework seriously." β
"Childish?" Gu Ying has never felt that the word naΓ―ve is so ridiculous, "I've always been like this, you can't get used to watching it for so many years, no, I don't know how many days, but it's definitely not seventeen years." β
The man's face sank and sunk, suppressed and suppressed, "Dad doesn't want to quarrel with you." You can't go anywhere today, just tell your mother what you want to eat. Everything that needs to be said has been said, you go out. β
Gu Ying licked the cream on the cone, then raised his eyes to look at the man opposite, and seemed to smile, "What are you doing when I am my mother?" Babysitter or cook? Or your punching bag? β
"This is the tone in which you should be talking to your father?" The man couldn't contain a smoldering fire in his chest, "Get out now!" β
"I saw it," Gu Ying stood in place, his face unshocked, "She has a wrist injury, who else in this family besides you asked her to do this and that?" β
At this time, Gu Ying's mother was worried that her child and her husband would quarrel after hearing the sound, so she hurriedly ran up to persuade her, although in fact she couldn't do anything.
"Take him out and don't interfere with my work."
