Chapter 10: The Secret of An Yuqiu

The apartment Zhang Huaixu rented is next to the school, with a pale yellow appearance, which looks like it has been newly built.

I don't know why these two rich people don't live in a good villa, so they have to rent a house outside.

On the bus just now, after he finished saying that, a female voice came from the stereo of the bus:

"Fengling High School, it's here, please bring your belongings when you get off the bus......"

"Get out of the car." Zhang Huaixu picked up his schoolbag and walked out of the car door.

This topic is not over......

"Here we are, come in." Zhang Huaixu turned on the corridor lamp in the entrance and placed the slippers in front of me.

"Hey," I tugged at his sleeve, "can you not tell An Yuqiu about my family, and don't tell anyone about ........"

"Okay." Zhang Huaixu nodded.

The entrance is facing the balcony, and the whole room is wrapped in light yellow lights, and the snow-white walls are also softened. The floor is paved with light-colored cracked tiles, and the wooden doors and windows give people a more comfortable and elegant feeling.

There is a large transparent glass window, and under the windowsill is a row of small flower pots, growing all kinds of succulents.

A simple three-bedroom apartment, but it is exceptionally exquisitely decorated, completely different from my gloomy and dirty home.

It is said that it is not unreasonable for the environment to affect people's character.

"Zhang Huaixu, where did you go? Hooked up with a girl who came back so late. There was a rough female voice in the back room.

An Yuqiu walked out of it, wrapped in a bath towel on her head, wearing thick pajamas, and a black mask on her face, which was far from the image in the school, and if the boys who admired her saw her appearance, they would probably be dumbfounded.

An Yuqiu was taken aback when he saw me behind Zhang Huaixu, and hurriedly ran to the back room and slammed the door shut. When she came out again, it was already a different look.

"Zhang Huaixu, if you want to bring a little pigeon to the house, why don't you say it in advance!" An Yuqiu's face was red, and he ran to the entrance to greet me, "By the way, why are you two together?"

"Picked it up on the road." Zhang Huaixu threw his schoolbag on the sofa and turned on the TV casually.

"Picked up?" An Yuqiu pulled me to the table and sat down, "What's wrong with you, little pigeon?" Why don't you go home? ”

"I....... Forgot to bring your keys. ”

"Oh....... I didn't expect you to be quite careless. An Yuqiu patted his chest and hugged me with one hand, "It's okay, you Sister An can live here for as long as you want." I heard that your place of residence is quite remote, why don't you discuss with your parents and come to live with me?"

"I'm just borrowing it today, and I'll go back tomorrow." I'm embarrassed to say.

An Yuqiu's expression suddenly became tragic, even a little exaggerated, she said: "Hey, I thought that from now on I could get rid of the life of buying boxed lunches every day, but I didn't expect you to refuse me." ”

"You ....... Can't cook? I thought Zhang Huaixu would ......." I looked at Zhang Huaixu sitting on the sofa, and at this time, he covered his face with a pillow, as if to say, "Don't look at me, don't look at me." ”

"Zhang Huaixu? He cooks? Hey, I can at least make egg fried rice, and he even has to teach him how to cook instant noodles, do you see that dark place in the kitchen? It's what he left over from the last time he fried the pan. He's really not good at that. ”

Looking in the direction she pointed, I saw not only the charred walls, but also the mountains of fast food boxes behind the doors.

When Zhang Huaixu popularized those "basic common sense" with me before, I was speechless. Unexpectedly, Zhang Huaixu, who knows astronomy and geography, is actually an idiot in life.

I couldn't help but laugh.

"I'm back in the house."

Zhang Huaixu probably felt embarrassed, coughed twice and picked up his schoolbag and went back to the house.

"Hey, leave the homework for me to refer to."

"Do it yourself." Zhang Huaixu threw down three words and closed the door.

"What kind of person, everyone is a knife in both ribs, just him, he will only stab me twice." An Yuqiu complained to me angrily.

I hesitated for a moment and asked:

"Yuqiu, why do you live with Zhang Huaixu......."

"Huh? Didn't anyone tell you? We are good buddies who grew up wearing a pair of pants, from school uniforms to wedding dresses, and we are from open crotch pants to school uniforms. Our mother said before that she wanted the two families to get married, but fortunately I stopped her. Just his stinky temper, whoever follows him, who goes crazy! ”

Although she didn't say it very carefully, I probably knew that Zhang Huaixu and An Yuqiu were childhood sweethearts who grew up together, just playing around for eighteen years, and An Yuqiu only regarded him as a brother.

It turns out that they are not that kind of relationship...... My heart seemed to settle down all at once. I don't know what I'm afraid of.

"Little pigeon, are you bathing? It's ten o'clock, hurry up and wash and sleep, go to bed early and get up early. ”

An Yuqiu took me back to her room.

The windowsill of her room was piled high with dolls, a large bed, and a wardrobe that took up almost the entire room, leaving only a narrow hallway.

"You pick, wear whatever you like first."

She has all kinds of clothes in her closet, almost all of them are famous brands, even the pajamas she is wearing now are famous brands.

I grabbed a nondescript black dress in the corner, "This is it." ”

An Yuqiu suddenly rushed up with an arrow step, almost snatched the dress from my hand, and folded it carefully.

She said to me apologetically, "Sorry little pigeon, this dress is so old, I should have thrown it away." I think this powder is very suitable for you, go take a bath, go go quickly! ”

An Yuqiu took a pink pajama from the closet and gave it to me, and put it back in its original condition.

I walked out of the room, remembering the look in An Yuqiu's eyes just now. When she looked at the dress, her eyes were clearly full of treasure, such an important thing, why did she say that she should throw it away and put it in a corner?

The bathroom furnishings are also extremely simple, and it is hard to imagine how aggrieved it is for these two children who grew up shouting golden spoons to live in such a small apartment.

The things in the bathroom seemed to have been purchased according to the height of the two of them.

Zhang Huaixu's height and An Yuqiu's height are generally over 170, and the mirror on the dresser can only shine on half of my face, and I can barely see my face only by standing on tiptoe.

This kind of decoration is not kind to people of my height at all.

An Yuqiu's clothes were slightly loose on me, so I found a rubber band to tie the neckline.

When I went out, Zhang Huaixu happened to wait outside and bowed his head to play with his phone.

"After washing, go to bed early, and you can make do with An Yuqiu today." As he spoke, he unconsciously lowered his head.

At night, An Yuqiu and I lay on the bed, the light at the head of the bed was soft, but I couldn't sleep at all.

The unfamiliar bed, the unfamiliar environment, made me feel insecure, and I began to miss the broken bed at home.

"What's wrong? Little pigeon, you can't sleep?" An Yuqiu asked me.

"Well, it's a little hard to live in someone else's house."

"I wasn't used to living in such a small place at first, eating a boxed lunch every day, and standing in the shower....... But now that I think about it, this kind of life is too free, and I don't have to be controlled by my parents......."

"Hagaoka," I rolled over and faced her, "why are you leaving the house, are your parents treating you badly?" ”

"No, my dad and aunt are very good to me, and I don't want to live there because of my mother." This is the first time I've heard An Yuqiu mention his family.

"When I was in junior high school, my mom died. Originally, birth, old age, sickness and death are human nature, and after crying for a few days, it is time to accept the reality. But my father, the day after my mother's burial, married a new wife. Since then, I have always refused to listen to my father, and as for my stepmother, I have made it even more difficult, but I have to say that she is very good to me, like her own daughter.

Over time, even I felt ashamed of her, but I didn't want to see other women sit in the same place my mother used to sit and enter this house. I hate them, but what can I do, since life is arranged like this, I accept it calmly. Recently, I heard that Zhang Huaixu rented a small apartment outside, so he moved here to live. ”

An Yuqiu's story is told straightforwardly, and judging from the tone, she is not resentful, but tells me this matter as calmly as telling a story.

"The dress you took was my mother's favorite when she was alive, and it scared you just now." An Yuqiu smiled apologetically at me.

It turns out that such a cheerful girl also has a wound in her life story. It's just that she has the courage to break out of the cocoon and become a butterfly, and I chose to escape.

"You say, why do parents always have such and such contradictions. If they know that the other person is not suitable for them, why did they choose to get married in the first place?" I asked An Yuqiu.

"Maybe they still believed in love at that time. I believe that the other person can change for himself and cater to himself for love. As everyone knows, the character and behavior that have been maintained for more than 20 years can be changed if it is said to change. My lord, I just think too much of myself, put their troubles on the next generation........." An Yuqiu sighed.

"Little pigeon, I won't tell you, Lao Zheng mentioned your family background to me before, and he said that you were always depressed alone in your previous school, and he wanted me to help you more." An Yuqiu scratched his head, "Actually, after I heard your story, I wanted to help you, because you are too similar to us........ You're not going to be mad at me......."

"You guys? What do you mean ........"

"What's wrong? Didn't Zhang Huaixu tell you about him? ”
