Chapter 71: Why
The next day, Cao'er told her father and mother to go to her classmates' house to play, so she rode to the Township Central Primary School. She and Li Yunfeng had already scheduled to meet at the gate of the elementary school at eight o'clock this morning, the place where they planted the moon and made a wish.
In the distance, Cao'er saw the shadow of Li Yunfeng standing under the flower tree. She smiled, and wanted to increase her footstrength, but after thinking about it, she slowed down her movements, and while riding forward in the wind leisurely, her fingers flicked lightly, and a string of clear bells whispered softly in the wind.
Li Yunfeng turned around and looked at Qingyue's bell, only to see a girl riding a bicycle not far in front of him, riding leisurely among the hibiscus trees. The wind blew her short ear-length hair, and the hem of her white skirt fluttered in the wind. The wind blew in her face, so that her whole face was not disturbed by a trace of messy hair, clean and clean, translucent and fresh in the morning light. She still pursed her lips and smiled, her scorching eyes looking forward to life. From afar, you can also feel the clear demeanor of the girl overflowing from her eyebrows and eyes.
"How long have you been here?"
"Just a moment."
Cao'er got out of the car and leaned against a hibiscus tree next to it. She looked at the boy in front of her with a smile on her face, who she had liked since she didn't know when.
In August, the hibiscus blooms, some bloom early, already purple, some are still crimson faces, some are pink and white and delicate, it seems that the wind is blooming, and there are some flower bones of different sizes, in the wind just right posture ready to open, and some are tightly wrapped by the green calyx but clearly struggle to prop out to see this pair of wonderful people What's even better is that in the morning light, on the petals, there are still some dewdrops, exuding a colorful light A colorful world.
Cao'er and Li Yunfeng happened to be standing in the place where they planted the moon back then. On the top of their heads were blooming pink and white flower bulbs, and at their feet were the grass they had planted back then, which grew year after year, lying on the green of the ground, and there were clumps of long-leaved grasses of varying heights.
A gust of wind comes, the flowers and leaves fly, and the fragrance is overflowing. Li Yunfeng looked at the grass in the fragrance of flowers, like the whitest flower in the green trees, graceful and tactful, and he was out of his mind for a while. A bird swept overhead, leaving behind a clear chirp that shattered the silence of the morning.
The wind playfully drilled through the fields and between the flowers and leaves, and kept teasing the faces of the two.
"The grass has grown so tall that it looks like a small tree." The grass leaned down, pinched the tip of a long blade of grass and sighed.
"There is also grass from your old vegetable garden." Li Yunfeng squatted down and pulled the grass stalks that were crawling on the dirt surface.
"Well, thanks to you and Yunqin and them for watering and cultivating the soil, otherwise it wouldn't have grown so well."
"The vitality of grass is very strong, as long as the grass seeds are sown, they will grow on their own year after year."
"I officially started school on September 10 and went to school on September 8."
"Hmm."
"Will you wait for me? I'm coming back to you for winter break. ”
"Okay."
Li Yunfeng just blindly responded to the grass. He thought he had to say it. I was about to open my mouth, but I saw the grass squatting down, picking up a purple hibiscus with almost withered petals, patting the sand on the petals, and carefully hanging it on the green branch.
"That way, it won't fall off, and even if it dries, it'll be clean."
Cao'er looked at Li Yunfeng and continued with a smile:
"I know the truth of turning into spring mud to protect flowers, but I always feel that a flower is a woman, although it is a withered image, but it still has the last bright color in life, let it be clean and neat at the end, it will dry out, and it will naturally fall into the soil, and it can be regarded as the last journey."
Li Yunfeng looked at Cao'er's clean and clear face, and felt great pity in his heart, he understood Cao'er's precociousness for life and death, and he was too. They all understand. It is precisely this understanding that allows them to enter each other's souls and become each other's other half.
It's just a pity that because of love, he wants to stop her thoughts. It's just that he will still follow her as before.
"Cao'er, I, I have something to tell you."
"Oh?"
Cao'er looked at Yun Feng's posture, but she was very serious, and her face was different from usual.
"Cao'er, Li Lan'er's mother asked someone to come and say goodbye to grandma."
Li Yunfeng is out of the way.
He originally wanted to do some foreshadowing, but no matter what he said, it was a hurt to Cao'er, so it was better to go straight and make it clear quickly, so that she would be less sad and let her understand her ruthlessness.
"You're not going to say yes, are you?"
Cao'er didn't take his words too seriously, she knew that Li Lan'er always ran to Li Yunfeng's house, but she also knew that Lan'er just wanted to help Li Yunfeng's family, even if she liked Li Yunfeng, Li Yunfeng definitely didn't like her. Who Li Yunfeng has in his heart, Cao'er has always been very clear in his heart. When Li Yunfeng said this, he just didn't want to hide her, so he just talked to her. Naturally, she listened to it as gossip.
"Hmm."
"Well, yes or no?"
Cao'er saw that Li Yunfeng agreed, and then she became apprehensive in her heart, she looked at him in confusion, could it really be that she agreed? Is this true? No way?
Her eyes were full of question marks.
"Well, I agreed."
Li Yunfeng lowered his head, but his answer was clear.
"You"
Cao'er stared at Li Yunfeng in astonishment. She didn't believe it, it was so sudden! No, it must have been of his own free will.
"Did grandma agree, did you have to agree?"
Cao'er asked almost pleadingly, her eyes already turning red, and tears began to well-up in her eyes.
"If I promised, my grandmother agreed."
Li Yunfeng didn't look up, but his words were still clear and unambiguous.
Cao'er stood there, she really didn't think that she originally wanted to clarify the relationship between the two of them with him today, so as to avoid him worrying that he would change his mind when he went to college, but she didn't expect him to say it first, and the things he wanted to clarify were something she had never thought of.
How so? How so? Why is that? Cao'er's heart was in turmoil, she was at a loss, she didn't even have time to be sad, she just wanted to know what the reason was.
"Li Lan'er has always come to my house, she likes me, she can also do farm work, can do housework, we are together, I think it's very good."
Li Yunfeng raised his head, but turned his face to the side, looking at the rows of distant mountains where the clouds gathered in the west, and said almost word by word.
"Do you like her?"
"Hmm."
A wave of anger rushed up in Cao'er's heart. It's all about "we", isn't it? How long have they been together? Li Yunfeng, he really misjudged him, why did he treat himself like this, and what did he hide from himself?!
