Chapter 21: Half Bodhi

The economic crisis in the United States in 1929 did not end in 1930, the high school did not come out of the haze of May, the storm in June slowly brewed in the days when the teachers were busy with the college entrance examination, a butterfly in the tropical rainforest of the Amazon River basin in South America flapped its wings a few times, Texas in the United States will produce a tornado in two weeks, and the southeast monsoon in June is about to reach the Sichuan Basin.

Rejoice! Like honey pouring into my heart. Liang Chen has understood Fan Jinzhong's great sorrow and joy more thoroughly in the past few days. After the heavy rain at the end of May, the hot weather suddenly cooled down, and the dullness of the air disappeared without a trace, and Wang Yuan said that he prayed to God in early June in exchange for good luck in June.

In the story, in the drama, and in the novel, the good times are not long, Liang Chen doesn't know that his days are not long, the first monthly vacation in June, in the small attic of Du Ruo's distant relatives' house, Liang Chen and he are busy sorting out all kinds of second-hand items collected from the seniors in the third year of high school.

Throughout the afternoon, Du Ruo seemed to be a little absent-minded, often messing around with the things he had already organized.

On the way home, Liang Chen asked Du Ruo and said, "What's the matter, I've been so listless all afternoon." ”

"Nothing! I just didn't sleep well last night. Du Ruo lowered his head and rubbed his eyes, as if he was avoiding Liang Chen.

Since he was a child, when Du Ruo had something to hide from Liang Chen, he always liked to rub his eyelids subconsciously, Liang Chen reminded him countless times, Du Ruo said that this is an act that is integrated into his bones, and he may have developed such a habit in his previous life and his previous life, and he can't get rid of it.

"You're rubbing your eyelids." Liang Chen's face showed a little teasing.

"Aciba, tell you!" Du Ruo was silent for a moment, turned his head, looked at Liang Chen, and looked embarrassed, "You will know it yourself at night, I will tell you that it is not good." ”

"Pretending to be a ghost, what a shocking secret!" Liang Chen squinted his eyes and asked with some disdain.

When he arrived at the fork in the road of the village entrance elementary school, Du Ruo ran quickly towards his house, did not look back, and disappeared into the detour.

Embarrassing people are inevitably embarrassed, after Du Ruo disappeared out of Liang Chen's sight, his mind inexplicably remembered this sentence.

After dinner, Liang Chen had already thrown Du Ruo's matter to the clouds. In June, his mother forbade Liang Chen to use the water heater, so he had to boil water in the stove room to take a bath. After a while, the mobile phone in Liang Chen's trouser pocket trembled "whining", and the firewood in the stove was gone. Unexpectedly, the bamboo block that was about to burn out by the stove was brought out by Liang Chen's fire tongs, and the bamboo block with the golden flame fell on Liang Chen's naked feet in slippers.

After the pain in his feet was a little better, Liang Chen hurriedly said sorry to Dai Xiao on the other end of the phone.

"Is it convenient to speak?" She didn't have any pre-chat greetings, she was very direct.

"Wait a minute!" Liang Chen called out to his mother to light the fire for him, and walked to the dam outside the house by leaning against the wall. Even though it was June, the night was on stage at eight o'clock. There is no moon tonight, and the stars in the sky hang above the night, Liang Chen likes this kind of night very much.

"Okay, now we can talk about it." Liang Chen put his feet on the stool and let the cool breeze blow.

"Hmm." Dai Xiao on the other end of the phone was a little hesitant, and after about five minutes, there was still only one exclamation.

Liang Chen was a little strange, and suddenly remembered what Du Ruo said inexplicably on the street, "You will know at night, you don't need me to talk about it." ”

He had already guessed in his heart, but Liang Chen still had a little bit of a gambler's luck, he took a hard breath of the evening breeze, and pretended to be relaxed and said, "What are you doing!" When did indecision become your adjective. ”

"Yes." Liang Chen only heard it, Dai Xiao on the other end of the phone smiled, very reluctantly, Liang Chen guessed.

In the few seconds that Dai Xiao spoke, Liang Chen's heart seemed to be beating a drum, and the sound of banging tore at his tense nerves, and it was really like a year.

"I broke up with Du Ruo." That's what she said inconveniently.

Liang Chen smiled bitterly, didn't speak for a long time, his empty hand stroked the instep that was burned by the fire, the temperature on his face rose sharply, and it became hot, "The few minutes you hesitated, I guessed it, there was a trace of luck, but unfortunately I still thought about it." ”

"I'm sorry." Liang Chen said cautiously.

"That's what I said about breaking up, you don't have to feel guilty."

"Shhh Liang Chen dragged out his breath and was speechless for a while.

"What's wrong?" Dai Xiao asked.

"It's nothing, I burned my feet when I burned the fire just now." Liang Chen shook his feet a few times and said: "I don't want to tell you that it's okay, I don't want to lie to you, I don't want to lie to myself, my guilt makes me feel guilty, I just feel guilty when I think of or see you, just like the injury on my foot, after tonight, it won't hurt, but the scar is in your heart."

"So I'm talking to you, not Du Ruo, and I'm not a bystander."

Liang Chen seemed to hear her sobbing, and hurriedly asked, "Are you crying?" ”

"Not yet, I can still hold back, it's just that my eyes are red, I guess I'll have to cry for a while, don't laugh at me!"

"It's okay, I'll cry with you, and then you can laugh at me." Liang Chen said with a smile.

Dai Xiao smiled a little choked, "It's still Chen Wen who understands you, and you really look exactly like her." ”

"What did she say?" Liang Chen asked.

"She said that you are like a girl, sensitive to feelings, once someone is hurt because of you, as long as you have a little bit to do with you, you are even more uncomfortable than the person who was hurt."

"So you listened to her exaggerations."

"I think she's right." Dai Xiao paused for a long time, and said unusually calmly: "I also know you, Liang Zi." ”

"Every time I quarrel with Du Ruo, you are extremely nervous and always overdefend me."

"I'm just, hey!" Liang Chen sighed: "Long sigh to hide your tears!" ”

"Du Ruo and I decided by myself, if I don't like it, it's useless for you to arrange it. Me and he are my problem, how can a lover become a cold person. Dai Xiao said helplessly.

"How does it feel like you're breaking up with me." Liang Chen returned a helpless laugh.

"That's right! I held back my tears. Dai Xiao also replied with a smile.

"So, why did you break up?" Liang Chen asked in a whisper.

"Didn't you just say that! The lover has no choice but to become a cool person. Dai Xiao said, "The distance is far away, the feelings are weak, and I have grown." ”

"I always think about the future at night, and I find that Du Ruo and I have no future, his way and my road are separated by a big river that is long, long, wide and wide, and the long pain is better than the short pain, what do you think?" Dai Xiao asked.

Liang Chen was a little confused, she didn't expect Dai Xiao to ask this question, "If it's your decision, I'm noncommittal." But I have been with Du Ruo for sixteen years, and this man is getting more and more amazing, and I don't know what will happen to you in the future, as long as you can each meet and say something about it. ”

Dai Xiao replied yes, Liang Chen seemed to feel her tears, tears flowed down her cheeks, and she didn't know it.

Inside the house, his mother and grandmother had already called Liang Chen three times, and Liang Chen had to hang up the phone. The evening breeze blew on his face, and Liang Chen was both sad and happy.

The sound of insects chirping in June was like a huge whirlpool in the silent night, buzzing, gathering from all directions, and exploding in Liang Chen's mind in circles. Chen Wen is really right, how can Liang Chen not feel uncomfortable, even with Dai Xiao's "comfort", he will still remember in his heart that the girl cried in the middle of the night, and every teardrop has his cause and effect. The scar on the ankle is still visible, and a new injury has been added to the instep.

Maybe Chen Wen is right, he is really the reincarnation of the White Lady, there is nothing in the first place, and he causes dust everywhere.

After taking a bath, Du Ruo sent a message on QQ, condemning his crime and telling Liang Chen not to think about it. Liang Chen didn't reply to Du Ruo's news, he was a little helpless, he was an outsider, but he was comforted by the two people who were trapped in the situation.

Embarrassing people are inevitably embarrassed!

During the two days of the monthly holiday, Du Ruo was a little timid and hid from Liang Chen for two days. When saying goodbye, Liang Chen teased him as a rat crossing the street, and he was an expert in rodent extermination.

Back in the car of Shihe, Liang Chen asked Du Ruo how he felt when he was dumped.

"It's easy to draw three points of spring, but it's hard to draw a piece of sadness." Du Ruo pursed his mouth, a little sad.

"I think it's good to have a heart to fight, but it's ruthless to be annoyed." Liang Chen said with a smile.

"Always wrong, always wrong, please don't be annoyed, please don't be annoyed." Du Ruo shook his head and said, "I'm ready to meet the verbal criticism of the group of long-tongued women in the class. ”

"Then you are worse than Yang Guifei."

"Hey! Half a line of words is a tablet of thin life, a piece of soil is a tomb of broken intestines, and no one has ever been in the desolate wilderness. The fault is all mine, but there is no heavenly reason. ”

"Okay, only you and I are sad people, and the others are nothing more than moral pacesetters watching the show, and when the time comes, our brothers will fight with them for three hundred rounds." Liang Chen said with a joking tone.

Du Ruo and Liang Chen are villains, and the few old junior high school classmates they met when they returned to Shihe were all the same, greeting each other, and the angry, contemptuous, and sarcastic people that Liang Chen and the two imagined in the car were just the most secret darkness in their hearts.

Yes! Liang Chen was somewhat black-bellied. "Lion-like ambition, rabbit-like cowardice, fox-like cunning", he has a point.
