Chapter 84: Rupture
All partings are not sudden, but premeditated.
Joe's wounds in the depths of winter were healing day by day, and I knew that the day he was leaving was getting closer and closer, and it was only to deceive himself that maybe he could stay forever and give up that bloody day.
"Little Joe." I grabbed his arm, looked at him almost pleadingly, and said, "I know your choice must have a reason for you, but you have to promise me to live." ”
Qiao Shendong knew that he would meet me again soon, and he didn't feel much sadness at first. But when I saw me separated from life and death like this, I suddenly remembered the days he had lived over the years. Every time he comes back, he believes to see me.
"Ah soft." He reached out and hugged me and explained to me for the first time about his whereabouts, "The place I'm going to this time is the United States, that's where I was born. I promise you, the next time we meet, I'll be unscathed. ”
"I believe in you." I hugged him tightly and said nothing.
Joe kissed me on the cheek as he walked in the middle of winter.
He walked to the airport with CRR, sat in the car and looked out the window. After all, the city where he stayed the longest in his life turned out to be Beicheng. There are always a few months throughout the year, staying in Beicheng to accompany Ah Soft, and accompany his little girl who is strong on the outside and fragile on the inside.
CRR wiped his own, "It would be nice if you could marry Ah Soft." ”
People like them don't care about any blood relationship at all, and Qiao Shendong is just a cousin to Su Ruan, not close.
"No matter which path I take, I will always be on the cusp for the rest of my life." Qiao Shendong held his chin, looked at the endless traffic outside the car window, and said calmly: "So I will only watch her forever and ever, watch her grow up, get married, and have children." ”
At the beginning, the motivation for coming to China to find Su Soft was not simple, but I don't know when it started. Forgetting the original interests, only a simple heart of protection remains.
He met Ah Soft earlier than Xiao Qingmo, and originally had the opportunity to become her irreplaceable lover, but he gave up. The reason why Xiao Qingmo is so jealous of him is that Ah Soft has too deep feelings for him.
Between men and women, love and family affection are sometimes just a thin line of things.
"Then what do you think of me" CRR stroked the sharp blade with a little wistfulness, "I will marry Ah Ruan and live with her for the rest of my life." ”
There is a stubborn and clean soul by your side, and that kind of day must be wonderful. She will dedicate the most beautiful gem in the world to her and make her her goddess.
Qiao Shendong said indifferently: "Then you have to kill Xiao Qingmo first." ”
CRR thought of the calm and indifferent man, and thought for a moment, "Then forget it, I'm not his opponent." ”
In the days after Qiao left in the deep winter, life moved forward without hurry.
When Xu Wenhui came to see me, I felt that the last time I met him was like many years ago.
It turns out that the person who was seriously liked at the beginning, after the beating of time, will suddenly find it when you look back. Oh, they're all passers-by.
We were sitting in a coffee shop near the school, and he knew I didn't drink coffee and ordered me lemonade.
"You're really married to Mr. Xiao." Xu Wenhui's face was full of bitterness, "It seems that you didn't take what I told you to heart at all." Soft, you used to be a person who couldn't rub sand in your eyes. ”
"Do you say those photos" I didn't move the lemonade in front of me, and the third brother just told me before going out in the morning that my menstrual period was approaching, and I was not allowed to eat outside.
Xu Wenhui doesn't know why, but I haven't seen him for half a year, why have I changed so much. I used to be silent, with the indifference that no one should enter. The approach of others will make people resist.
And now, although I also ignore people, I look softer.
"It's okay if you don't mind." Xu Wenhui didn't want to stir up anything.
I fiddled with my cup nonchalantly, "I'm the person in the picture." ”
The emotions in Xu Wenhui's eyes turned back and forth, and at that moment, many words poured out in his heart, and finally said: "That's fine." ”
"You're not looking for me to catch up." The impatience in my heart gradually came to my heart.
Xu Wenhui smiled bitterly, "Soft, you have this temper since you were in college." I used to be a little exceptional, but now I've become a passerby in your heart. ”
It's true that I've always had a bad temper and I don't have much patience. Although sometimes I will be restrained, it is difficult to change the problem of nature.
I'm not going to be angry, wait for him to say the next thing.
"Something happened to the Xu family, I need your help." Xu Wenhui finally stopped going around in circles with me and showed his true purpose.
I looked at him in disbelief, "Xu Wenhui, do you think I have a charitable face?"
What kind of mind drove him to come to me when something happened to the Xu family.
Xu Wenhui clenched his fists: "Soft, it's Xiao Qingmo's ghost." Why he did it, I guess you know it in your heart. ”
I resisted the urge to roll my eyes, reminded myself to pay attention to my demeanor in front of outsiders, and smiled slightly, "Is it because of your jealousy?"
Although my third brother is a vinegar jar, he definitely doesn't eat anyone's vinegar.
"I never care about his affairs outside, so you can ask me about it." I took out a hundred dollars and pressed it on the table, "I'll pay for the lemonade myself, thank you for inviting me to watch this farce." ”
Maybe my tone was too mean, Xu Wenhui looked at me angrily and said, "Su Ruan, don't look at the monk's face, look at the Buddha's face." Xu Qing is your mother, can you bear to watch Xiao Qingmo maliciously deal with the Xu family?"
"I can't bear it." I said word by word: "If the third brother can really buy the Xu family's news industry, how good it is, I can't see any bad remarks about him in the newspapers and magazines in Beicheng from now on." ”
Xu Wenhui immediately heard the meaning of my words, and his face changed slightly, "What do you mean by this?"
"At the beginning, the major news reported the scandal of the third brother's repentance of marriage and stepping on two boats, and your family's news media bore the brunt." I smiled coldly, "You and I are really canaries in a cage, and I don't know anything." Let me tell you Xu Wenhui, don't say that the third brother suppressed the Xu family today, and I don't care if he breaks the Tang family tomorrow. ”
I can do this kind of thing, but I can't do this kind of thing to repay grievances with virtue. Besides, what I owe Xu Qing has already been paid off, and I have nothing to do with the Tang family.
The harm that others have done to me, the past is in the past. But the third brother feels sorry for me, is it still the Virgin Mary who persuaded him that everything was over, and it was not a mistake for him not to pursue me
"Su Ruan, have you ever liked me" Xu Wenhui was like a sleepy beast, and the fatigue in his eyes revealed the tiredness in his heart.
I took a closer look at him, and the outfit was still neat, but it was clearly not new to the season. Xu Wenhui doesn't have any big skills, but he has always prided himself on being at the forefront of fashion. He didn't have time to sweep the goods, which shows that the Xu family's situation is worrying.
I didn't answer his question, I deserved to make him scratch his lungs.
When I went out and the wind blew, I calmed down a little.
Naturally, I liked it, otherwise my IQ would have dropped at that time. But liking this kind of thing is very subtle, maybe something Xu Wenhui did back then, a certain sentence he said made my heart move, and I fell into that whirlpool all of a sudden.
If you think about it, it's a little vague.
This semester, I have a lot of classes, and I am also asked to organize extracurricular art groups, campus painting competitions and so on. It seems to be a document issued from above, to let the children develop morally, intellectually, physically, and aesthetically in an all-round way.
In the past, the school didn't pay attention to this area, and there were few art teachers in the school. I, a "graduate of a prestigious school", have an advantage. It's only been a few days since school started, and I'm busy writing reports and doing activities all day.
As soon as I came out on leave, the teacher in the office said that the director had come to me just now, and I quickly went to her with the activity planning book I had written before.
As soon as I entered the door, Director Zhang said to me, "Your transfer report has come down, you can take a look." ”
I was stunned for a moment before I remembered what a colleague had told me before, so I took the report and looked at it. The salary level is not high, but it is higher than that of Rongcheng, and the treatment and benefits are also complete, so there is nothing to find fault with.
A few years ago, a group of teachers came from Rongcheng to study, although they are all from a private school system, but teaching in Beicheng is definitely different from that in Rongcheng.
"Director Zhang, what about Teacher Jiang" Everyone knows that I have a good relationship with Jiang Xiaoyu, and I didn't hide it.
Director Zhang looked at the planning report I had written, and said with a normal attitude: "After a while, when the study time is up, it will be time to transfer back to Rongcheng." ”
I pinched the transfer letter and felt a little heavy.
"I know you're on good terms." Director Zhang looked up at me, "Xiao Su, you are luckier than Xiao Jiang, you pay attention to the report of cultivating children's extracurricular hobbies, and your academic qualifications are there." To put it mildly, the math teacher is the main teacher, and some of our teachers in our school are highly qualified and competent. Teacher Jiang is young and has no background, so it would be inappropriate to leave her behind. ”
She doesn't say that I also understand, there are so many resources and benefits. As for me, an art teacher doesn't matter. Jiang Xiaoyu is a math teacher, and if she wants to stay, she will inevitably take other people's cakes.
The school is a huge background system, and the teachers in our school must have the strength to teach in the first place, and the background is not bad.
If Jiang Xiaoyu has a little background, then I can ask the third brother for help when I go back. Originally, this real society is like this, pull Jiang Xiaoyu, and the way forward will have to rely on herself.
I went out of the director's office and was about to go to find Jiang Xiaoyu, but I didn't expect to meet her at the door of the office.
"Xiaoyu, I have something to tell you." I called out to her.
We've had a stiff relationship lately, and it's been a long time since we've spoken properly.
Jiang Xiaoyu looked at it with thorns in her eyes, she walked with me to a secluded place, snatched the document in my hand and looked at it a few times, and slammed it on my face, "Su Ruan, this is how you kept me as a friend and relied on Mr. Xiao's background to stay in school, and let me go back to Rongcheng alone." You got the qualification to stay, almost got engaged to Xiao Ming, and married Mr. Xiao. Now that I have the best things in my hands, don't you think I'm so pitiful?"
