The train arrived at Hua'an Railway Station nearly forty minutes later than expected. I walked off the train with the crowd of people getting off the train. I deliberately glanced at the police officers who had panicked at me. Now, I think they are all amiable and respectable.

Walking on the street in front of Hua'an Railway Station, whether it is a dusty building parked or a driver slowly pedaling a tricycle on the street, I feel very familiar.

I felt in a trance, and I couldn't believe that I had returned to Hua'an. Four hours ago, I was still in the provincial capital.

But the familiar streets, the familiar cries of mobile stalls, and the familiar night food stalls all told me that I had arrived in Hua'an.

I went to the supper stall and ordered a bowl of dumplings.

The moon is in the sky. The moonlight is cold. The sky was cloudless. The night breeze blows, and you can't help but shiver. After all, it's almost winter.

In this situation, the same moonlight, the same starry sky, how will Chu Huoyu, who is far away in the provincial capital, feel when he sees it?

In the provincial capital, in less than a day, I was so embarrassed, how difficult it would be for Chu Huoyu to face the doctor alone, bear the pressure of the disease alone, and live alone for a long time.

But I can't help anymore.

I returned empty-handed, which means that Chu Huoyu will fade out of my life circle from now on, just like Wu Lianzi.

Everyone has their own life.

"Young man, the dumplings are ready." The proprietress of the supper stall pulled me back to reality.

After eating the dumplings, I ordered a tricycle and used up the last few dollars.

Back at school, the lights in the two classrooms of the third year of high school were still on. After hesitating for a moment, I walked towards the teaching building.

There are three students in the liberal arts classroom, and Wu Jianhua is the only one left in the science classroom. Entering the third year of high school, Wu Jianhua has changed a lot in his studies, and he works hard until late at night almost every night.

"Wow, I'm going to be admitted to Tsinghua University." I walked into the classroom.

"You're finally back. Where the are you messing around? Wu Jianhua put down the pen in his hand. The classroom was empty, and the echo was heavy.

"What? Is there something wrong? I said.

"Xiong Yanfei's father is coming to you. I said, didn't you just go to Xiong Yanfei's house early in the morning? Wu Jianhua said.

"What is Xiong Yanfei's father looking for me?" I was shocked.

"It's fine. It was Xiong Yanfei who called him. I guess you didn't go to her house, and she's a little worried. ”

"Oh. I had something to do for the time being, so I didn't go to her house. "I was relieved.

"I said, what's wrong with your face? Are you really doing something bad? Wow, it's so late, for sure. Wu Jianhua was a little excited.

"What bad can I do?"

"Are you looking for the Fire Jade?"

"Looking for a fire jade? What am I looking for her? "I pretended to be calm.

"With your character, you must have gone to her. Did her uncle find out and beat you up? Wu Jianhua's expression was very obscene.

"I said that I, Zheng Qihang, am this kind of character in your eyes?" I turned my back and walked out of the classroom.

"yes, I'm really angry." Wu Jianhua quickly caught up with me. I heard the crash of his stool as he hurriedly pushed it away. He turned off the lights in the classroom. "Zheng Qihang, you won't have this kind of belly, right?"

"If you talk about me like that again, see if I don't beat you up." I say.

"You're not going to beat me. However, Zheng Qihang, I really want to warn you, you are too affectionate, and it is a harm to girls. ”

We went downstairs.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"It can also be said to be righteousness. You see, for Chu Huoyu, you can sacrifice yourself to save her, and for Wu Lianzi, you can bear such a big infamy, just ask, which girl can not be moved? Wu Jianhua patiently dissected, just as I patiently dissected a math problem with him, "The problem is, you can't accept their love at the same time. Actually, you didn't accept any of them. You love Xiong Yanfei. But on the other hand, for Xiong Yanfei, didn't your actions hurt her as well? Like today, Xiong Yanfei must be very sad. ”

I was speechless. Wu Jianhua's analysis is not unreasonable.

Lying on the bed, I chewed on what Wu Jianhua said repeatedly.

There was another letter at the bottom of the wooden box.

……

The next day, I wanted to get up early in the morning and go to Xiong Yanfei's house, but because I was so tired the day before, I woke up at nine o'clock.

I arrived at Xiong Yanfei's house at 9:40.

Xiong Yanfei stood against the iron gate.

"Why are you standing in this tuyere?" My eyes are a little moist.

"I'm afraid you're not coming back today." Xiong Yanfei said.

"Why didn't I come? I went yesterday for something. ”

"Are you tired of coming to my house? If yes, I won't be sad if you bring it up. ”

"Fool, how could you think that? Come inside, it's too windy here. You're going to catch a cold. I took Xiong Yanfei's shoulders and walked into the yard.

"Really, if you hate coming here, don't come." Xiong Yanfei looked up at me. Her eyes were filled with tears.

"Why would I hate coming here? I want to come here every day. I want to be with you every minute. I said from the bottom of my heart.

"Well, I want to hear you say that. It doesn't matter if you're lying to me. Am I being hypocritical? Xiong Yanfei said.

"I didn't lie to you. Yanfei, please don't think so. It's not good for your recovery. ”

"What's the point of me recovering if you're all tired of being with me?" Xiong Yanfei was resentful.

"You really misunderstood me. Let me tell you, I went to the provincial capital yesterday for a temporary matter, and it was more than twelve o'clock when I returned to Hua'an, so I slept late today. ”

"I kept telling myself that there must have been something going on when I set sail. However, I rejected this idea on the other hand. I'm so worried you're going to get bored with me. Will you get bored with me? Xiong Yanfei continued along her thoughts.

"No, it won't." I say.

"But if it were me, I would probably get bored. Who wouldn't get bored of being around a sick person all day? ”

"I really didn't get bored. I look forward to spending time with you every day. Staying with you, you don't know how happy I am. It's true. ”

I comforted Xiong Yanfei for a long time before she calmed down. Xiong Yanfei looked very haggard, and it was very likely that she hadn't slept well all night last night.

Wu Jianhua's words really make sense.

Next, I tried to adjust Xiong Yanfei's emotions, but we didn't go as planned. Xiong Yanfei was very tired, and although she really wanted to study and read with me, her lack of energy prompted her to go to bed.

Xiong Yanfei slept for five hours and didn't even get up to eat lunch.

I felt more and more guilty.

For her, wasn't that day gone a torture? And how could she withstand such torture?

……

It was two weeks before Chu Huoyu's parents came to school. Shi Zhiqiang and Xu Xianren took them to my dormitory.

Chu Huoyu's father was very thin, in his early forties, and his hair was one-third gray.

Her mother was a beautiful embryo. Storing fire jade is like her mother.

"Are you Zheng Qihang? I heard that you and my daughter were junior high school classmates? Chu Huoyu's father asked.

"I am."

"Do you know where my daughter went? Please tell me where my daughter has gone. "Anxiety is written on the face of being a father.

"yes, you should know where Huoyu went, right?" Chu Huoyu's mother said.

"I don't know." I say.

"How could you not know? They all say you probably know. Chu Huoyu's father said.

"Uncle, we are guessing. I guess Chu Huoyu will tell Zheng Qihang where she is. It seems that your daughter didn't even tell Zheng Qihang. Shi Zhiqiang on the side explained.

"So, no one knows where she went?" Chu Huoyu's mother said.

"Didn't she write back?" I say.

"Written. It was only when we received her letter that we knew she was out, and we came to the school to find someone. ”

"Didn't she say where to go in the letter?" Xu Xianren asked.

"Nope. She only said that she stopped studying and went out to find something to do, telling us not to worry. But, but, can we not be worried? "Tears flowed down the mother's face.

"What can she do at such a young age? How could she be so stupid? Chu Huoyu's father said.

"Zheng Qihang, will her uncle ......," Xu Xianren said.

"She doesn't have any uncle? Don't talk nonsense. I winked at Xu Xianren.

"What uncle?" Chu Huoyu's father asked.

"It's the immortals who made a mistake. Does your daughter have any uncles in Hua'an? I asked.

"Nope."

"That's my mistake." Xu Xianren deliberately looked embarrassed.

"I want to ask you one thing, do you know where my daughter was working last year? She said she was doing things while studying. The father continued.

"Her father had a major surgery last year, and it was only possible to get the surgery done thanks to my daughter. Without this money, how could her father still be here? "Be a mother's supplement.

I glanced at Xu Xianren and Shi Zhiqiang.

"I've heard of such a thing," I said, "as if it were tutoring a child from a wealthy family." ”

"Being a tutor?" Chu Huoyu's parents asked at the same time.

Shi Zhiqiang and Xu Xianren looked at me.

"To be a tutor is to help children with their homework, and to teach children to learn. Uncles and aunts, you don't know, many people in the city will pay for tutors. "I explained to Chu Huoyu's parents.

"I see. I said that she was a scholar, where could she earn so much money to see me. The father "suddenly realized".

"Chu Huoyu is a good daughter." I say.

"She's really well-behaved, really well-behaved. Now, she is so good that she does not study and runs outside, so why don't we worry? Chu Huoyu's mother said. Her eyes filled with tears.

"yes. Where will she go? Chu Huoyu's father frowned.

"Uncle and aunt, since she is so well-behaved, I think she must have her reason to go out. She's going to be fine. I guess after a while she'll write to you and tell you where she is, so don't worry too much. "I comforted them.

"How can we not be worried? She's still so young. I still have half a year to graduate. How can you be so capricious? If you want to do something, you can wait until you graduate. Chu Huoyu's father said.

"She probably felt that there was no hope of going to university, so she went out early." Shi Zhiqiang said.

"What can a girl do?"

"She can earn money to treat you while studying, so you can imagine how capable she is. So, you guys really don't have to worry too much. "Xu Xianren has already understood my lie.

After Chu Huoyu's parents left, I took Shi Zhiqiang and Xu Xianren to the football field.

"Did they go to your homeroom teacher?" I say.

"Yes. They came to our homeroom teacher first, and then they came to us. They also made a fuss at school for a while. Shi Zhiqiang said.

"What does the school say?"

"Of course, the school shirks its responsibilities. said that Chu Huoyu wrote a letter back, and it had nothing to do with the school. Xu Xianren said.

"It seems that everything Chu Huoyu did was for her father." Shi Zhiqiang said.

"We all misunderstood her." Xu Xianren said.

"You almost shook off the matter of the professor, but fortunately you stopped in time. If her parents know about it, would it be worth it? I said.

"It's good that you reacted quickly." Xu Xianren said.

"Chu Huoyu's sacrifice for his father is too great." Shi Zhiqiang said.

"So I guess she was right to leave." I said, "She just left." Anyway, his father had recovered. She had to leave to get rid of the entanglement of the teacher's professor. ”

"Not bad." Shi Zhiqiang said, "After all, everyone in this place misunderstands her, and such a thing can never be explained." I can't explain it either. It is right to leave. ”

"I really didn't expect Chu Huoyu to be so strong and so great." Xu Xianren said with emotion.
