Chapter 22: Memory

On the way home.

Xu Promise and Xiaocao sent Xiaofan and Tongtong to the dormitory of A University.

Because Xiaocao didn't go home, Xiaofan also lived in the school, and as for the apartment, it was empty.

Tonight's day is particularly good, because it is deep in the city, so when you look up, you can only see a few faint starlight.

But on the way to Huanyu Villa, it's different.

It is the suburb of S City, and there are few other lights except for street lights, so you can clearly see that there are many stars in the sky, and there is a moon that is not a garden.

This can't help but make Xiaocao fall into memories.

When she was in the welfare home, she was young and her younger brother and two people, and she was stared at all day long.

The children in the welfare home are like human spirits, and they have to grab food, otherwise they won't be able to eat, and they have to desperately try to please the old woman who takes care of them, otherwise they may be beaten at any time. At that time, Xiaocao lived in that environment with his younger brother strongly.

The TV in the orphanage is for the staff, and the entertainment facilities are only open when outsiders come, and their lives are boring, and they even have to help with cleaning.

It was in such a bad environment that Xiaocao met a caring big brother, his name was Chen Nuo.

Xiaocao is ten years old, and Chen Nuo is fifteen years old.

At that night, after the staff fell asleep, Xiaocao often secretly sat in the yard with Chen Nuo to watch the stars.

It was also the only pleasure for the two of them at that time.

Looking back on that year, this is one of the few happy memories she has with 'Brother Nuo'.

It's a pity that it didn't take long for Chen Nuo to be taken away.

When he left, he reluctantly said to Xiaocao: "Xiaocao, you wait for me, and when you grow up, I will marry you." ”

It's a pity that ten years have passed, and her brother Nuo has never appeared.

And she couldn't remember what that Brother Nuo looked like now.

Later, she and her younger brother were adopted by the Murong family and came to S City...... By the time Xiaocao was able, the welfare home had already been bought and moved......

Seeing Xiaocao staring at the sky outside, Xu Yu spoke.

"The starry sky is beautiful today."

There was a second of distraction as he spoke.

His words pulled Xiaocao back from his memory.

"Hmm...... yes, it's beautiful. ”

Xiaocao retracted her gaze and looked at the endless asphalt road in front of her, and the two rows of bright street lamps, which seemed to be the way she kept looking for 'Brother Nuo', and she couldn't see the end no matter how she looked.

In the car, the old song "Yesterday", yesterday, yesterday has a lot of memories.

Xiaocao finally remembered that the old woman in the welfare home often played this song, and Brother Nuo also said that this song was very good.

Xiaocao shook her head and smiled bitterly.

"Mr. Xu, why is that store called 'Waiting for You'?"

Xiaocao asked the question he had just asked when he walked out of the restaurant for no reason.

Xu Promise glanced sideways at Xiaocao, then looked ahead and said.

"Mr. Yamamoto came to study in country Z many years ago, but because he was a native of country R, he was very excluded. At that time, he had a companion girl, a girl from the Northeast, who was very kind, not only did not exclude him, but also became friends with him. A year later, the two fell in love. However, the woman's parents are traditional old people, and it is said that the grandparents also participated in the anti-Japanese resistance, so they disagreed, and because of the problem of concept, the girl's parents forced the two to break up. Later, the girl jumped off the building and died because of her sadness. So Mr. Yamamoto opened this shop here, and married a Northeast female man, Li Yi, and the two lived happily. ”

promised to tell other people's stories lightly, but his heart was sad.

He won't say that this 'waiting for you' is his, as for the story, it's true, but it was his money to open this store, and he naturally has someone to wait for 'waiting for you'.

"The old man does have such a concept, and he is also very repulsive to the people of country R."

Xiaocao said sentimentally.

I am also mourning in silence for the dead girl in my heart.

It is a cruel thing for a lover not to be married.

"And how did you meet them?"

Xiaocao asked again.

"I get to know each other when I go often."

Promise not to look at Xiaocao replied.

"Then why are there so many people queuing up and we have a place? Xiao Fan temporarily proposed to eat RB cuisine. ”

Xiaocao said the doubts in her heart.

"Because I'm friends with Yamamoto, I'm ......"

The promise is a little too much to make up, he can't say that the private room is his own, and no one else can enter!

"So what?"

Xiaocao had all kinds of doubts in her heart, but she didn't seem to want to explain at all.

"It's home."

Promise to hit the brakes and open the door.

Only then did he escape.

But just as the co-pilot's door was promised to open, Xiaocao's mobile phone rang.

Taking it out and looking at it, Xiaocao couldn't help frowning.

"Who's calling?"

Xu Yu saw that the phone rang for a long time, and Xiaocao didn't mean to answer, so he asked.

"No one?"

Xiaocao hung up the phone and got out of the car.

When she stood up on both feet, she forgot about her injured ankle because she was thinking about the phone, so she fell into the arms of Promise.

Promise hurriedly held Xiaocao to prevent her from falling.

But Xu Yu just saw that the name displayed on the mobile phone was 'Li Fangyu'. Xu promised to remember that this woman named Li Fangyu should be Xiaocao's current adoptive mother.

Xiaocao was embarrassed to stand up by herself, and then left the promised embrace.

"Mr. Xu, I'm sorry, I forgot ......"

Forgetting the fact that his foot was injured, Xiaocao had not finished speaking, and the phone rang again.

Xiaocao looked at the phone screen tangledly, and finally connected the phone.

"Hey, grass, what's the matter with you? How to answer the phone. Why did you scrape it off just now? Also, why don't you answer my phone all the time? ”

A sharp voice came from the other side of the phone, it was none other than Li Fangyu.

"I just had something?"

Xiaocao replied lightly.

"What's the matter, you can't even answer the phone at home?"

The shrill voice became sarcastic on the other side.

"Is there something wrong?"

Xiaocao was a little impatient.

"What? Can't call you if you're fine? Don't forget, even if you move out, this is still your home, what is your attitude? ”

Li Fangyu couldn't bear it.

"Is there anything wrong with you? It's okay, I hung up. ”

The gesture is about to hang up the phone.

"I said Xiaocao, you have grown up and are capable, don't you dare to talk to me like this. Let me ask you, I asked you to go on a blind date a few days ago, Mr. Li is such a good person, how can you make people angry like that? ”

Li Fangyu said as if he was interrogating a prisoner.

"Hmph...... Mother...... You just want me to get married sooner? What's wrong with you? I don't eat you, I don't wear you, why do you always do this to me? ”

Xiaocao finally got angry, so she asked.

"What's the matter with you? Am I not all for your good? What's wrong with finding a good family to marry. ”

Li Fangyu almost snorted coldly.

"I told you I had a boyfriend!"

Xiaocao closed her eyes helplessly, took a deep breath and said.

"Hmph, do you still want to mention Fu Xinhua? He's going to get engaged to Qianqian next month, so don't think about him. ”

Li Fangyu's sarcasm rose to another level.

"Did I mention that my boyfriend is him, and what does it matter to me whether he is engaged or not?"
