Chapter 55: Face it calmly!
Tao Xiu's cheeks were hot, and he said loudly: "Then why do it, this time I left a case record, and it will have too much impact on you in the future." ”
Zhou Hangyu was silent, he just looked at Tao Xiu after his glasses were removed, as if he could see through his soul at a glance.
The lips that were closed one by one were finally blocked by Zhou Hangyu, and a chuckle escaped from the lips of the two of them, "Xiu, it's okay." ”
A dream is shattered, naturally a dream will rise, God closes a door, and naturally a window will be left, Zhou Hangyu does not believe that he can starve to death in this society with his hands, even if the future road will be much more difficult to walk because of leaving a case record, it will not be a dead end.
Tao Xiu turned his face and escaped Zhou Hangyu's bruised face and his serious eyes, Zhou Hangyu leaned over slightly and hugged him, "Xiu, don't worry about anything, let's go with the flow, okay?" ”
Tao Xiu hung his head and rested his chin on Zhou Hangyu's shoulder, as if he was thinking about whether this was right or wrong, but he was obviously happy in his heart, just like every touch Zhou Hangyu brought him, he remembered it in his heart.
After Zhou Hangyu put it bluntly, the relationship between the two became even more ambiguous, because he injured his classmates and had to pay tens of thousands of yuan, Zhou Hangyu borrowed a few hundred yuan from his parents, and found a small business to do when he got out of class, Tao Xiu also helped his classmates write homework or copy books to earn some extra money, no matter how Zhou Hangyu refused, Tao Xiu still insisted on stuffing him with the money he earned.
Tens of thousands of dollars, for them at that time, it was simply an astronomical amount.
Because they are still students, not only do they have no income, but they are still spending their family's money, even for Zhou Hangyu's parents, it is a heavy burden, tens of thousands of yuan, which is the money they can earn back after hundreds of days and nights, but because of their son's impulsiveness, they have to pay all the money to others.
But the matter has come to this point, and it is useless to blame Zhou Hangyu, they have to work together to try to pay the money to others as soon as possible, and to settle this matter as soon as possible.
For a whole semester, Tao Xiu and Zhou Hangyu were looking for all kinds of odd jobs to do everywhere, which one made money and which one was done, and finally made up seven or eight thousand, plus the more than 40,000 yuan that Zhou Hangyu's parents saved and used to pay to the injured classmates.
After ending the matter, the two finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The relationship also heated up all of a sudden, just like Zhou Hangyu said, let it be, Tao Xiu didn't think much about it anymore.
I just feel that it's not that hard to like someone.
Although it is the same sex, so what?
If it were someone else, he might feel disgusted, but the other party was Zhou Hangyu, who grew up with him, and because it was him, everything became a matter of course.
If Zhou Hangyu marries another woman one day, Tao Xiu will definitely feel very uncomfortable.
People should be happy to live for a lifetime.
So the two of them are very casual, no one said they wanted to be together, no one said how long they were together, but they have been together.
When Tao Xiu's birthday in the second year, Zhou Hangyu led him to a hundred-year-old banyan tree, Tao Xiu was surprised to find that there was a circle of flower candles under the banyan tree, large and small, colorful, and there were many colorful lights hanging on the tree, and the whole big banyan tree was shining with colorful lights in the night.
Zhou Hangyu hugged Tao Xiu from behind and said softly: "Xiu, happy birthday, I like you." ”
He thought that he also liked Zhou Hangyu.
That sweet and sour feeling is probably just like it.
As I get older, this liking becomes more and more inextricable......
Later, Tao Xiu left his hometown alley because of his studies, he was the only one in the neighborhood who was admitted to a public high school, and he was admitted to the second place in the city, after getting the admission letter, Tao Xiu's mother did her best to send him to the best public high school in L City, and left the place where he took root one step earlier than Zhou Hangyu.
The sudden separation caught the two off guard, Zhou Hangyu took Tao Xiu's luggage, sent Tao Xiu into the station, and hugged him tightly in the crowded station, so tight and tight, as if he was afraid that Tao Xiu would fly away as soon as he let go.
Tao Xiu's grades have always been very good, carrying the hope of the whole family, he shouldn't stay in the alley so much to be a frog at the bottom of the well, he should go out to see more from afar, Zhou Hangyu obviously comforted himself like this, but in the end he was still reluctant.
Why didn't he work harder, if he had been admitted to the high school in L City, he would have been able to reunite with Tao Xiu now......
But he was three years older than Tao Xiu, and if he had been admitted to the school in the city of L, he would probably have given up, because he didn't want to leave Tao Xiu for three years.
But Tao Xiu carries the hope of the whole family, no matter how reluctant he is, he has to embark on the road to leave.
"I'll write to you." Tao Xiu raised his hand to cover Zhou Hangyu's face, and kissed him lightly on the cheek, a rare initiative.
Zhou Hangyu knew that Tao Xiu was comforting himself.
Whenever he was lost or in a bad mood, Tao Xiu would take the initiative to kiss him, or say nothing, and hug him quietly, permeating between them was a kind of trust that did not need to be spoken.
"Okay." Zhou Hangyu's throat was a little sour, nodded with difficulty, and then let go.
Tao Xiu wrote a letter to Zhou Hangyu once a week as agreed, and they would talk on the phone every two days, in fact, there was nothing to say, they just wanted to listen to each other's voices, and guess whether the other party was doing well from the voice.
Three months later, Tao Xiu received a call from Zhou Hangyu, who told him that he had dropped out of school and had arrived in the city of L.
Tao Xiu was very surprised, but Zhou Hangyu didn't explain anything, only said that his grades were not good, he didn't want to study anymore, and it was better to work early to make money.
That year, Zhou Hangyu was only nineteen years old and Tao Xiu was sixteen years old.
It was also in that year that Tao Xiu met Ding Le.
Tao Xiu went to class during the day, Zhou Hangyu went to work, and the two could only meet during dinner or at night.
Tao Xiu lived in the school dormitory, and Zhou Hangyu lived in the place where he worked, which was far away from Tao Xiu School, and it took nearly an hour to walk there, and the salary was not high at that time, Zhou Hangyu often dragged his tired body to find Tao Xiu on foot in order to save the bus fare, but the money saved always bought Tao Xiu a supper before going to Tao Xiu School.
Reading is very hard, Tao Xiu is much thinner than when he left his hometown alley, and Zhou Hangyu's heart hurts faintly when he holds him.
Therefore, supper has become Tao Xiu's fixed fourth meal in addition to three meals a day.
"Okay." Tao Xiu pouted slightly.
Zhou Hangyu brought over the remaining beef brisket noodles and said with a smile: "I'll eat the rest." ”
Tao Xiu nodded.
And often Tao Xiu's supper is Zhou Hangyu's dinner.
After Tao Xiu noticed it, the two of them were the same as before, no matter what they ate, they were half of each person.
It's just that Zhou Hangyu is always preoccupied, and even when Tao Xiu introduced Ding Le and Zhou Hangyu to each other, Zhou Hangyu didn't know what he was thinking, and he thought of it.
There was a secret between them, and it was from that time that it began.
The original nothing to talk about is gone.
Zhou Hangyu didn't mean not to say it, but he didn't know where to start.
When he was chatting with Tao Xiu on the phone, his parents heard it, and the letters that Tao Xiu wrote to him were also found by his parents, and after a fierce struggle, those letters were burned, and Zhou Hangyu dropped out of school and left in a fit of anger.
This is the reason why Zhou Hangyu went to the city of L to find Tao Xiu.
He didn't know if his parents had told Tao Xiu's family about this, and he didn't know how to explain to Tao Xiu, who only wanted to study hard and be a good teacher in the future, that the place where they grew up together might never go back.
Zhou Hangyu couldn't help but wonder, what would happen if Tao Xiu knew? Will you hate him, or will you give up on him and hate him?
No matter which one it is, it is not something that Zhou Hangyu is willing to accept.
It's just that this thing finally can't be hidden from Tao Xiu's family, the day before the National Day, Tao Xiu's mother called Tao Xiu to go home, her tone was heavy, and Tao Xiu suddenly had a very bad premonition.
Zhou Hangyu was even more panicked in his heart, he suddenly hugged Tao Xiu and kissed fiercely, Tao Xiu didn't know why, just responded stupidly, neither of them was a child, what would happen next, they both knew very well.
Whatever the feelings, they all decided to go with the flow.
"Don't ......," Tao Xiu gasped and refused softly.
"Why?" Zhou Hangyu looked at Tao Xiu.
"My mom told me to go back right away, and your parents are looking for you, what the hell is going on, why don't you answer their calls?"
Zhou Hangyu shook his head, "Don't go back, Xiu, just stay here." ”
"What's wrong?" Tao Xiu was even more apprehensive when he heard this.
"They already know about us, go back, no one can predict what will happen, Xiu, let's stay here, and when you finish your studies, leave with me."
Tao Xiu took a step back, and his hands and feet were suddenly cold, but, no matter what, they have to go home, won't they go back for the rest of their lives?
"Let's go, let's go home, your parents only have one son, Ah Bin, my brother, I always want you to go back to swim and play ball with him...... It's useless to run away, so let's face it calmly. Tao Xiu hugged Zhou Hangyu back.
Because of the relationship between Aiwu and Wu, Zhou Hangyu is also very good to Tao Xiu's only younger brother Tao Bin, and will give him toys from time to time, or take him out to play.
At that time, Tao Xiu's mother was not bad to Tao Xiu, and his younger brother Tao Bin also admired his brother because of his brother's excellent grades.
It's just that Tao Xiu, who said this, never thought that just being with Zhou Hangyu and liking each other would hurt so many people, and at the same time be hurt by so many people.
If he had foreseen what would have happened when he returned, perhaps his choice would have been completely different, and he would not have suffered the heaviest loss of his life.
It can only be said that everything has been predestined in the dark, after Zhou Hangyu listened to Tao Xiu's words, he was silent for a while, and finally decided to respect Tao Xiu's decision.
"Xiu, if we go back and fight a protracted battle, we must not admit defeat, you know?"
Tao Xiu nodded firmly, so many years of affection have already grown into a big tree in his heart, deeply rooted.
It's just that Tao Xiu didn't expect that they would lose after all, and they lost in a mess.
Lost to reality, lost to parents and loved ones, lost to the fate of the accident......
