Chapter 134: True Like
Berlin has thought about plans to change the past.
Since there is less than a month left before the college entrance examination, his first purpose now is to persuade Chen Kexin to go to school, prepare for the college entrance examination, and make up for the vacancy these days. And during the period before the college entrance examination, he made good money and tried to earn her college tuition and living expenses. If the gap is too big, he will drop out of school early, find a job again, and give priority to Chen Kexin's college tuition.
Of course, he won't just indulge everything in the future.
He will work hard, earn money and start doing business like in the future ...
Slowly get back on track.
Even if the business will fail, he will continue to try as in the past.
Work began.
Berlin came to the restaurant and started working according to the work that he had agreed with the manager.
Cleaning up, tidying up the table, helping in the kitchen, remembering the menu and serving dishes...
The work went well.
A veteran with work experience is very different from a busy person who has just joined the factory. Effortlessly, Berlin's diligence and fluency have even been appreciated by the boss.
Of course, it is indispensable to come out of Berlin part-time and mention it to my parents, although the two are opposed, saying that there is no need to do this kind of thing before the college entrance examination, the computer in Berlin's insistence, my father unexpectedly agreed, so my mother really can't refuse too strongly, and reminded Berlin several times in a row not to delay the problem of studying.
But it's not as easy as Berlin thinks.
The number of customers was not as scarce as Berlin expected, and as time went on, the restaurant was already full of customers at the height of the dinner season, and from their conversations, Berlin found that they were all coming for the chicken soup in the restaurant. This reminded Berlin of the several times he happened to bump into Chen Kexin in the future to give Fang Yuan chicken soup, and Fang Yuan was full of praise...
"I'm going to look for a chance to try it these days." Berlin thought to himself.
A few hours go by in a flash.
Soon it's time to get off work.
Berlin and Lin Manman cleaned up and left the hotel.
"In Berlin, I found that both the last time I washed the dishes and the time you worked here, you looked like you had a lot of experience... I couldn't keep myself busy for a while, but you were able to do it easily. ”
She has a sunny smile, and the image of a lively girl who is forced to disguise her maturity and calmness beyond her peers.
Berlin knew that Lin Manman was looking for a topic.
She didn't want to be so lonely on the way home.
"Did you see it last time?" Berlin laughed.
"Yes, when I saw that you were so quick at hand, I thought, why are you so good? Do you often go out to work part-time? But it's not like it, so I pay attention to you from time to time. After following it for a few days, I found myself strangely liking you. Lin Manman spoke slowly.
She doesn't have the shyness of other girls, and confessing and talking about likes seems to be nothing worth mentioning.
But it doesn't feel right to express Lin Manman Berlin in this way, maybe it can be described as more appropriate that she likes and confesses as something worth mentioning....
Berlin was going to introduce her to Fang Yuan, so naturally she couldn't let this affection exist. After Lin Manman's voice fell, he put away his smile and said in a calm tone, "Actually, I think you don't really like me. ”
Lin Manman looked at Berlin in surprise, and his steps were inadvertent.
"Maybe it's a momentary playfulness, maybe it's a momentary heartbeat.... All in all, it was so sudden. There is no accumulation of feelings for a few months and half a year, and there is not enough mutual understanding. I don't understand whether the character is right, and I'm not sure if the three views are the same... There are many, many problems. We're strangers to each other, can you be sure that if we're really together, we won't have conflicts? As far as I think, if it's a real like..."
Speaking of this, Berlin couldn't help but think of Chen Kexin's shadow, the corners of his mouth raised, and he smiled, "When we are together, I feel very down-to-earth and comfortable." It's simple, as if you can have her at any time. Even when the two of them walk in the noisy city at night, the noisy world will be quiet..."
But speaking of this, Berlin thought of Le Yao again, and after a slight pause, his smile retracted, and then he said softly, "It's like being together again, I always want to be good to her desperately, take care of her meticulously, for fear of seeing some sadness in the eyes of the person I like." ”
Berlin stopped talking.
He remembered all the complicated emotions in Le Yao's eyes.
He likes to talk eloquently, why does he sound so harsh....
Berlin gave up the distractions that bothered him.
At the same time, Lin Manman spoke.
She listened carefully to what Berlin said, and after being silent, she looked at Berlin with eyes as deep as a pool of water, "Berlin, I'm not playful, and I'm not sudden. ”
She replied simply.
The sheaviness of the magnificence slowed her walking.
"And what is it?"
Berlin opened his mouth ruthlessly.
He didn't want to say that.
But only this is the only way to do it....
He searched for the real answer. But Berlin doesn't know that many things are like peeling an onion... When it was peeled clean, I was caught off guard, and perhaps I had already burst into tears unconsciously.
"Berlin..."
"Hmm."
"You've forgotten everything."
“??”
The two came to a fork in the road.
He looked at Lin Manman who was leaving.
"See you in Berlin tomorrow." Lin Manman was not angry, not bored and dissatisfied. She continued to act as usual, but left with a question that was a little difficult for Berlin to understand.
Forgot?
What did he forget?
Did the two talk about anything important?
...
When Berlin walked into the house, it was late at night, close to 9:30.
As a student, going home so late is indeed excessive. However, because of the part-time job, the anxiety and apprehension in Berlin quickly disappeared.
Walking into the hall, Berlin found that he did not see his mother, who was sitting in the hall looking out the window into the distance, wondering what he was thinking. When he saw Berlin returning, his eyes fell on Berlin.
"Dad...."
Berlin was a little afraid of his serious father.
"Mom?" Berlin asked.
"Your mom is sleepy today, so she went to bed early." The father replied.
"Then I'm going back to my room to read?" Berlin asked tentatively.
His father, however, unexpectedly called out to him, "Don't you want to study, Berlin?" ”
Berlin stopped.
He jerked his head to look at his father.
"Looks like I guessed right." Father sighed lightly, and his seriousness faded a little at this point, "Is it convenient for me to tell me why?" ”
“....”
Berlin was silent.
He didn't understand the meaning of his father's sudden words.
He did not deny it.
But there is no certainty.
Berlin just looked at his father. Some are overwhelmed, some ... Hope.
"Forget it, if you don't read it, don't read it, I can see that you have your own thoughts and reasons, and it's useless to think about anything." My father finally sighed, "Although from my point of view, I still hope that you can go to college, but I won't force you, you don't need to go to college." You grow up and understand what you're doing. But I have one condition, I hope you finish high school well, at least before the college entrance examination, don't let your mother down. ”
“....”
It was the first time that Berlin had looked so seriously at his father's gaze when he was so old.
His face was as serious as ever.
It's just that there is no disappointment or dissatisfaction in the wrinkled eyes at the corners of those eyes.
Regretful....
Concerns....
Helpless...
Berlin saw this.
At this moment, Berlin seemed to know his father better, who was so unfamiliar and close to him in the past.
Do you know the son as the father?
"I'm sorry Dad...."Berlin squeezed out a smile with a slightly bitter smile, "I really don't want to study anymore, I won't regret this decision." It's not that I don't like to study or go to university, I have my own reasons. As for these reasons, I'll tell you and Mom later. ”
At this point, under the deep gaze of his father, Berlin repeated the sentence "I'm sorry... Father. ”
The conversation between father and son is over.
Taking advantage of his mother's absence to communicate with his father, Berlin, who was preparing to drop out of school, felt a little more relaxed than he had ever felt since returning to the past world. But at the same time, it added a touch of inexplicable heaviness.
It's late at night...
