Chapter 43: Father

"Huh? It's so serious, what are you doing? ”

"That is, this afternoon, that person suddenly came to me and told me to leave Beijing quickly and not stay here, so I ........"

"So you told Zhang Huaixu that you can't apply to a school in Beijing, you have to go somewhere else, right?"

"Uh-huh........."

"Come on, he's going to be angry. This is the most important thing for him at the moment, you don't know, he just wants to .........."

Halfway through his speech, Hagaoka suddenly stopped.

"Hello? An Yuqiu? What happened to you? ”

"Oh, no, nothing, nothing, hey, do you want to apologize to him with a doughnut? We, Lord Zhang, can refuse everything in the world, except for this doughnut. ”

"Donuts? He's a big man?"

"People have young men's bodies, and girls' hearts! Anyway, I'll tell you the method, and then it's up to you. ”

Before I could respond, she hung up the phone.

I stayed in the library until two o'clock in the afternoon, until the police station called me.

"Hello classmate, after our verification, the source of the money is indeed taken from legitimate means, since your guardian insists on giving it to you, then please take the time to go to the police station and get the money."

"Okay, I got it."

Unexpectedly, during the period of Tan Yao's disappearance, he really went to earn his own money.

The police station is not far from the library, walk a few hundred meters, turn left to the alley, and you will be there.

The policeman at the door saw me, briefly asked my name and purpose, and let me in.

"Girl, your father's money is here, you can look at it. It's best to make a note of it together, just in case. "I was met by the same officer who had come to greet me.

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Police."

"You father, I'm really worried about you, I came to this bureau, I didn't say I wanted to send you a text message to report your safety, and then I finally got permission, but I didn't send it, saying that I didn't want my daughter to worry. He also said that he would rather let his daughter think that he was gambling and getting close to the game, than let you know that he had become a murderer.........."

"Murder?" I couldn't believe my ears.

Although Tan Yao has smashed wine bottles with people and fought with people, but in the business of killing people, I don't think it is possible for him to do such a thing.

Although I am not close to him at all, and he is not a good person in my heart, now, I would choose to believe him for no reason.

"Mr. Policeman, may I ask what happened? About me...... My father's car accident. ”

"Actually, it's nothing, it's just that your father's taxi drove well, and he met the opposite person going in the wrong direction, and the two cars collided, and the other party's car collided with a container truck, which killed the person. As for your father, because fatigue driving was found, he had to bear criminal responsibility, and you can rest assured that he will not be sentenced for too long. ”

So that's it..........

"Mr. Policeman, I ......... I'd like to meet him, okay? ”

The policeman looked me up and down, and when he saw that I didn't look like some bad guy, he nodded in acquiescence.

When a policeman escorted Tan Yao, who was wearing an orange vest, out, I saw his gaze dodging like a mouse to a cat.

He looked older than he had left, his hair was a little gray, his eye sockets were deep, and the two thick pieces of fat on his cheeks were as if they had been shaved off with a knife.

He sat in front of me, bowing his head and saying nothing.

"I'm here to ask you, why did you let me leave Beijing?"

He didn't speak.

"I already know about you, you can tell me straight."

He looked up at me, as if startled, and licked his chapped lips from thirst.

"Xiaoge, listen to me....... That's right, the person I bumped into was a person with a bit of a social background, and I had heard of his reputation when I was gambling. His men threatened me that if I killed their boss, they would demand that my family pay for it.

I, I'm afraid that you will be hurt by them, so I want you to leave Beijing and take refuge outside, they will never chase you so far...... ”

"Bastard!" I slammed my fist on the glass bed, sneered, and said to him, "You haven't taken care of me for so many years, and now, you say that you are for my good, let me leave Beijing, leave those who really care about me, it's ridiculous........"

There are always some words that you regret as soon as you say them.

I'm not angry with him, I'm angry with myself. I was angry that just a few words or two that sounded like concern would make me choose to forgive him. Forgive him for seventeen years of indifference and ignorance, forgive him for breaking my family gradually, forgive him for adding new scars to me with a stick and leather whip again and again.

"I'm leaving."

His lips moved, but he didn't say anything more.

At night, I lay alone on the couch, watching TV, feeling neither happy nor sad.

In two days, it will be the day to fill in the volunteers, I hesitated for a while, and decided to listen to Tan Yao's words and go back to Hangzhou. Most of the reason is that I am naturally afraid of trouble, if those people will really take revenge, I dare not guarantee that I can protect myself in this unfamiliar place, and secondly, I just want to reassure Tan Yao.

"Hello? Little pigeon, how's that? Are you going back to Hangzhou to study? "An Yuqiu can always call me when I am troubled. She's been hanging out with her studio friends lately, and I haven't seen her much since.

"Well, I've decided, let's go back to Hangzhou and read it."

"That's right....... Then I'll also go to Hangzhou, the mountains and rivers are good, it should be very interesting. Actually, it doesn't matter where I read it. ”

"That'...... What should Zhang Huaixu do? ”

"He? Haha, leave him alone, this happens to put me to the test, whether he is worthy of my little pigeon. ”

I heard An Yuqiu's words clearly this time, and after a little speculation, I understood that she probably had to see the subtle feelings between me and Zhang Huaixu.

Obviously I was young and frivolous, but I was so forward-looking, over-the-top, afraid of losing, not responding, and feeling that I had failed others, I knew in my heart that it was my bad attitude, always trying to solve the problem by pretending to be stupid.

This time, I knowingly did it again.

"What? What does it mean to be worthy or unworthy?"

"Oh, no, it's nothing, just to see if this guy is worthy of being friends with my little pigeon, friend, yes, life and death, forever together........."

An Yuqiu is a straightforward person who is not good at lying. When I asked her this, she became confused and began to babble there.

Maybe she's hiding something from me.

"Okay, I've decided, I'll go to Hangzhou to study at university, fill in the volunteer in two days, you're ready to call me, or we'll meet, well, that's it, goodbye........"

He hung up the phone, his fingers moving back and forth between his contacts. I wondered in my heart whether I should call Zhang Huaixu to apologize, after all, it was I who kept my promise first.

But what do I have to say? Wouldn't it be too abrupt if people couldn't answer the phone. But if I don't say it today, will it seem that I am not sincere?

Well, I'll admit I'm a swinger.

At this moment, I suddenly received a text message on my mobile phone, which was sent by Zhang Huaixu.

I was ready to be preached and criticized, and opened the message tremblingly.

Department of Chinese, Zhejiang University, estimate: 620 .........

.......... of Architecture, Zhejiang University

...........”

There is no imaginary blame, but a more elaborate voluntary proposal than when I was in the library. My Nokia phone was able to check the total number of text messages, and it was definitely the longest text message I've ever received, with thousands of words.

He once complained to me that the buttons on his phone were too small and too compact, which would be inconvenient to type. It's hard to imagine how this boy with slender fingers could patiently grind out so many words on nine tiny keys.

How would I describe how I felt? It's probably a sentence from "Heartbeat": Some of us get dipped in flat, some in satin, some in gloss. But some once in a while,you find someone who is iridescent and when you do,nothing will ever compaer ........ )

"Hey....... What do you mean by you calling me and not talking! ”

The sudden increase in volume on the other end of the phone scared me straight from the couch to the floor. Looking back at the lit phone screen, I realized that when I was in a daze just now, I had accidentally called out.

"Huh? Feed? I'm here. ”

“..........”

He didn't speak, as if waiting for my explanation.

I mustered up the courage and shouted to him, "Thank you for the text!" Good night! Then I hung up the phone as quickly as I could.

I didn't want to call and apologize, what did I just say..........

Two days later, we started filling out the volunteer form online. With Zhang Huaixu's prediction, it is not difficult to volunteer to fill in.

"Tan Lige, congratulations, you have been admitted to the Chinese Department of our school............."

In this way, after more than ten years of busyness, I completed the last leg of my youth and opened a new chapter in my life. In the summer vacation of my junior year of high school, I didn't have the expected indulgence, I didn't meet any special people, and I didn't do any childish things that symbolize growing up, so I spent it so plainly........
