9 Memories, Wounded, Cold War
At first, Du Yalin's entanglement made Lu Sheng feel impatient. It all started that night.
That night, Du Yalin came to West Street to play, sent a message to Lu Sheng that she was waiting for him outside the door of the bar, and threatened Lu Sheng that if he didn't come out, she would keep waiting. Du Yalin just wanted to meet Lu Sheng and talk.
Lu Sheng walked out of the bar and asked directly, "Aren't your parents worried about you if you don't come home so late?" Du Yalin was stunned for a moment, and then she pretended to laugh easily and said, "They don't care about me...... Because they have forsaken me. Lu Sheng was surprised by her words, and felt sympathy for her when he saw her grief hidden under a stiff smile, and from that night on, Lu Sheng became concerned about this girl who was always lively and bright on the outside, and pretended to be free and easy, but had sadness in her heart.
Caring may be the beginning of liking. So when Du Yalin confessed to Lu Sheng and said the words "I just want to be your girlfriend", his heart fluctuated, and Lu Sheng was silent but did not deny it, in fact, he may have agreed in his heart.
Although Du Yalin has unknown pain, she is always lively and optimistic, as bright as a bright ray of sunshine in summer, shining into the cracks of the dark box where Lu Sheng lives, and begins to warm Lu Sheng a little bit. They all have the same experience, they sympathize, comfort each other, try to forget the sadness in the sweet romance, try to forget the heavy past.
When he was very young, Lu Sheng had heard the gossip of his neighbors about his mother. They said that the mother may have been abandoned by some man and became a young single mother. Lu Sheng has always hated his biological father who he has never met, how ruthlessly he abandoned, how hard his mother is. Lu Sheng's mother, Lin Pei, worked hard to raise Lu Sheng alone, and the mother and son depended on each other.
Lu Sheng's mother sometimes cried and said to Lu Sheng: "It's my biggest guilt for you that you don't have your father's love, I'm sorry." At that moment, Lu Sheng's heart was like a knife, and resentment burned his heart. Lu Sheng didn't understand, why his mother told him not to resent his biological father, why did he have his biological father's surname?
Single-parent families are financially struggling and stretched, so Lu Sheng will find part-time jobs at a very young age, such as distributing leaflets, washing dishes, and delivering meals. His mother suddenly fell ill and urgently needed surgery, which required a large amount of surgery fees, and Lu Sheng took out all the family's money and only paid half of it. In order to make money, Lu Sheng worked harder to work part-time. He is not afraid of hard work, and only wants to earn medical expenses. In the process of delivering food, Lu Sheng met several classmates of the same grade who did not like Lu Sheng. The strength was weak and outnumbered, and Lu Sheng was beaten by them.
At that time, it was Brother Lu, who was passing by, who rescued Lu Sheng, who was beaten to death, and lent money to Lu Sheng to pay for Lu Sheng's mother's surgery. In Lu Sheng's heart, Brother Lu is a benefactor. Because he had to repay the money to Brother Lu, Brother Lu provided Lu Sheng with the opportunity to work in the bar, so Lu Sheng went to Brother Lu's bar on Friday and Saturday nights to work as a waiter.
The people who come to the bar are all shaped*, they come here to have fun, to spend time and to relax, because there is everything: good wine and singing and dancing. Lu Chang is handsome and compelling, and the sisters who come to the bar like him very much, and every time he comes, he spends a lot of money and gives Lu Sheng a lot of tips. Lu Sheng got more tips based on his appearance than he used to earn as a part-time job in a supermarket.
The night before school started, Lu Sheng worked in Brother Lu's Dihuang Bar. The bar lobby is lit up with colorful neon lights, and people twist their waists and hips wildly on the dance floor to the roaring music.
In a luxurious box at the bar, Brother Lu was drinking and talking about things with Brother Qiang. Maybe things didn't go well enough, Brother Qiang was angry and yelled loudly: "Lao Tzu is just not happy with your dragging, who are you dragging to?" Didn't you whisper in front of the second master and be a pug before! After speaking, he quickly smashed the wine bottle on Brother Lu's head, and the three brothers next to Brother Qiang also rushed towards Brother Lu.
In the face of this sudden attack, Brother Lu didn't have time to dodge, and he snorted in pain. The two bodyguards standing at the door ran in front of Brother Lu and fought with the people brought by Brother Qiang. Brother Qiang also scuffled with Brother Lu.
When Lu Sheng came out after delivering the drinks to the box, he vaguely heard the sound of fighting in the box next door. He subconsciously prepared to report to the manager, and when he passed the box where the sound of fighting came, he saw through the transparent glass on the door that someone was punching and kicking Brother Lu, and Brother Lu resisted a little hard. Lu Sheng pushed open the door of the box without hesitation, kicked Brother Qiang away, and then Lu Sheng scuffled with Brother Qiang with his bare hands. In the end, Brother Lu picked up his mobile phone and shouted that he wanted to call the police and threaten Brother Qiang, but Brother Qiang stopped.
On the first day of the second year of high school, Lu Sheng came to school with a wound, and Du Yalin saw Lu Sheng's face injured and his arm wrapped in bandages, she was very worried, but at the same time she was also angry and angry.
"Can't you just be nice to yourself? Why fight with those people? ”
"I'm fine, it's just a skin injury." Lu Sheng hooked the corners of his lips and touched Du Yalin's head, a trace of tenderness flashed in her eyes, and her hair was very soft.
Du Yalin turned her head, dodging Lu Sheng's hand touching her head, her face was angry, and her bright red lips were pursed. Lu Sheng looked at Du Yalin's appearance, a little crying and laughing, and looked at her dotingly.
"Then you promise me not to fight in the future, not to go to Brother Lu's bar, and to be a good student." Du Yalin said seriously.
"Brother Lu, I have to go, this is what I owe Brother Lu...... I don't want to fight either, but sometimes it's inevitable, and sometimes fighting is to protect myself, and if people don't offend me, I won't offend people......" Lu Sheng explained vigorously.
"Needless to say, you mean you can't grant my request, can you?" Du Yalin suddenly showed an indifferent look.
Lu Sheng's lips twitched, and he wanted to say something, but he found that his throat seemed to be blocked by something, and he couldn't speak. An icy, silent atmosphere spread between the two, and Du Yalin waited for his reply.
Lu Sheng spit out a few words after a while: "I'm sorry, I can't." ”
Du Yalin showed a bitter smile, and said in a stiff tone: "Whatever you want," turned around and left.
Lu Sheng looked at Du Yalin's back and cursed in a low voice. He stood there for a long time, in an obscure mood.
This is the first time that the two have quarreled since they met, the first time they broke up unhappily, and the first time they had a cold war.
Although Lu Sheng knew that Du Yalin was angry, it was the first time he was in love, and he didn't know how to make a girl happy, and he would impulsively want to go to Du Yalin, but he didn't know what proper reason to go, and he didn't know what to say after going to her, he didn't want to talk to Du Yalin about that topic again.
The days have been going on without any changes, and they have been "cold war" for several days.
Du Yalin had been waiting for Lu Sheng to take the initiative to reconcile, but she hadn't seen any movement from Lu Sheng for several days, and she couldn't help but be a little frustrated and sad. She couldn't help but ask herself: Was her request at that time very excessive, very vexatious, and very unreasonable, which made it difficult for Lu Sheng to do? Do you want to take the initiative to compromise with Lu Sheng? But there was a firm voice in Du Yalin's heart that kept all her thoughts at bay.
Her mother's words kept lingering in her ears: A gangster who can only fight will sooner or later become the scum of society and will not bring you a future, do you want your life to be ruined by a gangster? One day, that thug will destroy everything you have and make you regret it in agony!
Du Yalin cared about her mother's words, and they were deeply engraved in her mind, and she subconsciously felt that she couldn't make the same choice and go the same path as her mother at that time. She likes Lu Sheng, and she doesn't want Lu Sheng to be a person who fights, is violent, and mixes with the underworld, so she wants to change Lu Sheng's life.
In the end, under Li Huai's "teaching", Lu Sheng sent a message to ask Du Yalin to go to KFC near the school to eat on Sunday afternoon, and after the two met, they both kept silent about the things that led to the Cold War, and they returned to their former sweetness.
