Chapter 45 (4)
Xiuhan choked and stared at her blankly, not knowing what to say.
"And, even if I wanted to, my parents wouldn't agree." He Tu said lightly, after all, it was the marriage decided by the parents, and they were very satisfied with their father-in-law's family, even if they told them these things, they didn't necessarily believe it, it must be seeing is believing, but how can they see it believing? As long as they come to the house as guests, the parents-in-law will put on a very hospitable and cherished appearance of themselves, and they will always do superficial work, how can they see it for themselves?
"It's your own business to get married and live, what does it have to do with your parents?" Xiuhan asked in surprise.
She looked at Xiuhan blankly for a few seconds, shook her head, and said, "What kind of thoughts are you, marriage is a big deal, of course it has something to do with your parents." β
"But it's you who live with him, not your parents who live with him."
Hedi's head was confused, her head hurt from being stirred by Xiuhan's words, she could hardly think well, and the drowsiness was getting stronger and stronger, she didn't want to talk anymore, she didn't want to think anymore, she just wanted to sleep well. Hearing Xiuhan's words, she didn't want to refute it, but waved her hand tiredly and said, "Okay, good, you're right, you're right." β
"If you admit that I'm right, then you have to think more about yourself." Xiuhan said, his tone becoming shy, "I just want to help you......"
"I know." He closed his eyes, "I know ......"
Later, Xiuhan said something, she didn't know at all, under the invasion of that sleepiness, she soon fell into a deep sleep, almost didn't even have a dream. I don't know how long it took, until a piercing chill enveloped his whole body, he woke up from his sleep, opened his eyes and looked around blankly, and found that the room was dark, and he couldn't see anything, only vaguely seeing the faint light coming through the cracks in the windows that were not covered by the curtains. She propped up half of her body, feeling that the chill was even stronger, and couldn't help but look at her body, it turned out that she didn't cover the quilt, and then looked to the side, but saw Xiuhan lying next to her only in thin pajamas, frozen and constricted, and was sleeping with her eyes closed. He Tu rubbed his eyes, looked under the window, and saw the quilt piled up on the ground in a mess, and he didn't know when he was kicked down, so he hurriedly reached out and dragged it up, wrapped Xiuhan tightly, and then reached out to get the alarm clock placed on the bedside table. It was already eleven o'clock in the evening, and most of the people had fallen asleep, and the surroundings were quiet, and he almost had the illusion that he was not in the world. If it weren't for the fact that her throat was very dry, and her thirst seemed to be on fire, she would still sit like this in a daze, not knowing how long she would sit. Feeling out of bed and finding the kettle on the table, she poured a full glass of water and poured it down quickly, and the feeling of thirst was relieved. In the darkness, she sighed and began to fumble with her clothes and get dressed.
"I didn't tell my sister that I was going to stay here for so long, I don't know if she would be worried." He thought to himself, becoming more and more anxious, and the speed of getting dressed became faster and faster. She was in a hurry to get back to her sister's house, taking advantage of the fact that it was still midnight. After putting on her clothes, she wanted to say goodbye to Xiuhan, but she saw that Xiuhan was sleeping too well, and she was embarrassed to wake her up, so she had to think about going home first and calling Xiuhan when she got home. Having made up his mind, he walked outside on tiptoe, trying not to make a sound whether he closed or opened the door, so as not to wake up the family. Out of the door, Hetu breathed a sigh of relief, her movements became relaxed, and the cold air outside suddenly invaded her lungs, making her more and more awake.
After standing in the doorway for a few seconds, Hetu glanced back at the dark gray door, and his heart suddenly had mixed feelings. She turned her head silently and walked through the alley at a faster pace, and what had happened before gradually came to mind, along with the words that Xiuhan had said to herself. At first, she just pursed her lips and thought about it, savoring it, just as a release of her boring imagination on the way. But gradually, her emotions became more complicated, and without the hypnosis of alcohol, she could think more clearly about the meaning of those words and make various reactions. At that time, I was drunk and didn't listen carefully, but in retrospect, Hetu felt very uncomfortable. Xiuhan's words seemed to be thinking about herself, but at this time, Hetu felt that she was just sympathizing with herself from God's point of view. He Tu couldn't help but sneer, she hadn't experienced these things she had experienced, what could she understand? Even if she really wants my good, does she know what I want and what I like? kept persuading herself to divorce quickly, she was an unmarried person, where did she understand her suffering. And why ask her father to arrange a job for herself, go to live in her house, these words all sound like child's play, life is not a play, how can it be as simple as she said. She was just in a hurry to prove her importance in my life. Thinking of this, Hedi's heart was shocked, she looked ahead in surprise, and immediately blamed herself. Xiuhan is his best friend, how can he think of her so much in his heart? Even if she said those words, it was for my sake and for Xiao Yan's sake, could she still harm herself? Even if she harms herself, what benefit can she get? She shook her head and decided not to think about this mess anymore, and hurried to her sister's house first to get to the right place, so she quickened her pace more and more, almost trotting.
But as she walked, her head was messed up again. The previous blame for himself and the guilt for Xiuhan disappeared like the sunshine gradually obscured by the dark clouds in winter, and with it came a tide of dissatisfaction and resentment. Yes, even if she is a good friend of hers, what right does she have to say that to herself? No matter what her purpose was, she was sympathizing with herself, pitying herself, she felt that she was not doing well, and she was doing too well, so she had to find a way to show her superiority in front of me, to release her sympathy, and she felt comfortable in her heart. After all, like Xiuhan now, there are very few poor and pitiful people like himself around him, right? He Tu sneered, no wonder, looking at the way she looked like she was anxious to pay for herself, even if the money was someone else, she obviously felt that she could accept it without shame if she was sent to her as poor as herself. Xiuhan never knew that what she wanted was just an innocent friendship that didn't contain anything, and she didn't need her pity or her help, she just hoped that she could put herself in the same position as her. But Xiuhan didn't seem to know, trying her best to inquire about her life, knowing her own difficulties, now it's okay, because she was drunk and told all the ugly things at home, she said those words with her eyes open, in fact, she was snickering in her heart, right? He Tu frowned, constantly thinking back to the scene when she talked to Xiuhan, did she laugh at that time? But I couldn't think of anything. After racking his brains for a long time, Hetu finally gave up recalling, stopped, and looked back in the direction of Xiuhan's house, which originally felt very familiar and kind, but at this time it became unfamiliar, that beautiful courtyard, how much she liked and admired it at that time, but now that she thinks about it, it is just another world, a world that she will never be able to approach. He Tu sighed, and began to wonder if his encounter with Xiuhan was a mistake, they were not all the way in the first place, why did they come together? Xiuhan was born glamorous, beautiful, and eye-catching, and he was just a poor cat cowering in the corner. In the past, he was naΓ―ve, and he didn't think so, but now that he gradually thinks about it, it seems that the people around him don't believe that he has such a friend as Xiuhan, even if he puts out the evidence, they don't believe it, or just show an expression of admiration as if he has climbed the dragon and the phoenix. He Tu gritted his teeth, thinking, I don't need to climb the dragon or attach the phoenix, no matter what, I can make myself live well, why should I let others say that I am like that because I have such a friend? What's more, this friend has always had the idea of sympathy for herself in her heart, in her eyes, she is only afraid that she is not as good as the stray cat on the street, and she has to ask for her help to live a better life, right? Thinking about it like this, Hedi's heart became more and more dissatisfied, and secretly made up his mind that no matter how much Xiuhan asked in the future, he couldn't tell the ugly things he had experienced, not only making himself uncomfortable, but also making others laugh. He clenched his fists, bit his lip, looked up firmly at the empty road opposite, raised his legs and walked forward resolutely.
In a hurry, Hedi soon arrived at his sister's house. Looking through the gap in the door, it was dark inside, and there was no light at all, and my sister and brother-in-law should have already slept. He hesitated for a moment, and finally raised her hand and knocked on the door, and the faint sound suddenly sounded in the silent night, almost startling her.
But even so, Hetu didn't dare to knock hard, for fear of scaring them, just knocked intermittently with a small force, I don't know how long it took, and finally there was a sound of footsteps inside the door, Hetu stopped his hand and waited nervously, ready to apologize.
The door was opened with a bang, and Liu Ji's sleepy face appeared in front of her. Seeing that it was Hedi, Liu Ji couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise and asked, "Didn't you say you wouldn't come at night?" β
"Huh?" Seeing that it was her brother-in-law, Hetu was panicking, and when she heard him ask this, she couldn't help but be puzzled. Maybe it was too cold outside, Liu Ji wrapped his coat tightly and said, "Come in quickly." β
"You're all asleep, aren't you?" He Tu whispered, "Did I make a noise with you?" β
"It's okay, you can go in quickly." Liu Ji said, "Your sister and Herui fell asleep in the guest room, you can sleep with them." β
He quickly agreed, and walked quickly inside. When she gently pushed open the door of the guest room, she found that the light inside was on, and Hexin was squinting her eyes and breastfeeding Ke Qin sleepily, and Herui was already asleep on the side, snoring softly.
"Sister, you haven't slept yet?" He Tu breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense body became relaxed, and he couldn't help but ask.
"But Qin was clamoring for milk, so I got up." Hexin shook her head, trying to sober herself up, and looked at her suspiciously, "Didn't Xiuhan's family call and say that you won't come back at night?" How did you come back again? β
He Tu suddenly realized, no wonder he didn't come home so late, and his sister didn't say that she came to find her. She sat down on the chair tiredly and whispered: "I drank some wine, I was drunk, so I took a nap at her house, but I didn't expect to sleep until now." β
He Xin suddenly frowned and said, "Drinking is not a good thing. Also, what's the matter with your hair and face? β
"It's not like I'm being coaxed by Xiuhan." Saying that, He Tu teased Ke Qin, "I'll go wash my face and sleep." She dragged her two tired legs out of the guest room, washed up casually, although she slept for an afternoon, the drowsiness was still very strong, obviously she still watched her sister sit on the side and breastfeed, but the next second, the eyes were already in the dark, and she didn't know anything.
Early the next morning, it was dawn, and Hedi had already packed up with Hexin Herui and embarked on the road back to his hometown with his three children.
