Chapter 19: A New Beginning
After the day of school came, Yu Yang and the others finally said goodbye to separation, and they could get tired of being together all day long. For them, there is even more shocking news, it is said that Qin Xue said that she transferred to the United States to study.
No one expected her to leave in this way, including herself.
After the holidays, she used to try to keep herself busy, wanting to forget everything, and often, she would inexplicably feel that someone was slandering her, so she lost control of her emotions regardless of the occasion. She was often woken up by nightmares, and when she woke up, she was sad for no reason, and she didn't know what was wrong with her.
Seeing her state, the parents could only speed up all the formalities, hoping to take the child out of this farce as soon as possible.
Finally, when her mother told her that they had decided to send her to school in the United States, instead of the yearning and excitement she once had, she was hysterical ranting and rebellious, and she was unwilling to leave in such a way at this time.
"Why, why? You make decisions for me without consulting me? Qin Xue asked over and over again.
"We hope you're doing well, too, isn't this the school you've always longed for?" Her mother could only be relieved.
"You don't understand me at all, how can you do this to me?" She struggled and resisted, but she also knew how strong her father was, and he made decisions that would not be easily changed.
Everything is a foregone conclusion, and it will be in vain for her to resist. In this way, she was put on the plane in tears and came to the city that she knew and was unfamiliar with.
Her parents' actions brought her even more frustration, making her feel like a defeated soldier who had fled into the wilderness, and therefore she forced herself to look more like a trapped beast, and even in the United States, she still couldn't let go.
When she arrived in the United States, she began to suffer from insomnia all night long, her personality became cloudy, and her temper became extraordinarily irritable. She would even call Yu Yang when she was unconscious.
On this day, Yu Yang and Xiaojing were having dinner, and suddenly Yu Yang's mobile phone rang. The unfamiliar number showed that it was a call from abroad, and Yu Yang didn't think much about it, so he picked it up: "Hello, who is it?" ”
"Yu Yang, are you Yu Yang?"
"You are?"
"You forgot about me so quickly? You're so ruthless. You easily left me behind, but why can't I forget you? Hearing what the other end of the phone said, Yu Yang's face changed instantly.
Xiao Jingyuan didn't care about the call, and was about to pick up vegetables for him, but found that his expression was not quite right: "What's wrong?" Whose phone number? ”
"I'm sorry, Qin Xue, we really don't need to have any more contacts, I'm very happy for you when you go to the United States to study, I wish you success in your studies, then that's it, I'll hang up." Yu Yang felt a tingling scalp, he was still so obsessed after crossing the ocean, where was he doing? Fortunately, when he saw Xiaojing's calm face when facing this, a hanging heart finally calmed down.
As soon as she heard Qin Xue's words, Xiaojing immediately reacted, and after seeing Yu Yang hang up the phone, she didn't ask a word, but continued to recommend the dishes she just thought were delicious: "Taste it, this is delicious." ”
Yu Yang naturally stuffed it into his mouth with understanding, squeezed out a smile and said, "Wow, it's so spicy." ”
So the two looked at each other and smiled, and they didn't take it too seriously. Through this period of getting along, we trust and firm each other, so no more words are needed, it is the best way to get along with lovers.
Yu Yang's hurried hanging up of the phone angered Qin Xue again, and she smashed the phone out. This occasional excesses once again frightened her mother, and she had no choice but to take her to a psychiatrist.
When her father heard about her situation after she arrived in the United States, he was distressed and angry that the pearl of his palm had become what he is now because of a boy. After thinking about it, he felt that he must let out a bad breath. In his opinion, feelings are two-sided, and Yu Yang, a kid, must have done something sorry for Xue'er to make her nervous breakdown.
He didn't realize that it was the environment he gave his child that was too superior and too smooth, making her become competitive and only have herself in her eyes. She has never experienced setbacks, there is no failure in her eyes, and once she encounters an accident, she is likely to be unable to bear it.
He asked the secretary to find Yu Yang's information, and found that Yu Yang's father's information column in the family relationship read "General Manager of Dingxin Electronic Technology Co., Ltd." He pondered for a moment, then dialed his assistant's phone and instructed him what he was to do.
After all these years of ups and downs in the shopping mall, it is not the first time he has done this kind of thing, but he didn't expect that this time it was for his daughter, and he pity the hearts of parents all over the world. After explaining, he hung up the phone and lit a long-lost cigar, he had quit smoking for many years, and today he realized that there were some things that he could not completely control.
At the beginning of the new semester life, people returned to their own tracks, and Qin Xue gradually faded out of everyone's after-dinner period.
Yu Yang and Xiaojing's days finally calmed down, and soon ushered in Yu Yang's birthday.
Two weeks before her birthday, Xiaojing began to practice making cakes with the cake chef in the store, hoping to surprise him. On her birthday, Xiaojing made a cake and wrote on the greeting card:
Yu Yang, my life is wonderful because of you.
Happy birthday to you!
May we always be happy!
Then she smiled sweetly and drew a heart in the back.
Yu Yang called out to many people to help him celebrate. Everyone was relaxed and at ease from the bottom of their hearts, and the party was very enjoyable, and when Xiaojing brought out the cake, everyone sang the birthday song excitedly. Yu Yang looked at the faint candlelight, and silently made the same wish as Xiaojing in his heart.
After blowing out the candles, when the lights came on, everyone watched Yu Yang hug Xiaojing intimately, and began to shout "kiss one, kiss one".
Yu Yang was very touched by Xiaojing's intentions, and he leaned over and patted her cheek in front of everyone. Xiaojing's face suddenly turned red, and everyone made a lot of noise.
Yu Yang shared the cake with everyone one by one, and when he saw that Zhang Qi was still making trouble, he stuffed him with a piece: "Hurry up and eat you, you can't stop your mouth if you have food." ”
"Wow, Xiaojing, you're amazing, this cake is so delicious." Lin Xi couldn't help but exclaim as she ate.
Almost everyone present felt that today's cake was extraordinarily sweet, probably with the sugar of love. Only Chen Ling is an exception, in his opinion, the cake is full of the bitterness of lost love.
When everyone was happily coaxing and making noise, he was drinking alone.
When others were full of wine and food, he got drunk himself, and then lay down on the dinner table unconsciously. Everyone was also half drunk and half drunk, and no one cared that he was always sober on weekdays and was drunk today. Gradually, some people got up one after another and prepared to go back, and Yu Yang and Zhang Qi also followed to see them out.
Xiaojing finished packing up the gifts everyone gave Yu Yang, looked at Chen Ling, who was still lying on her stomach, and gently pushed him to wake him up: "Senior, senior?"
After shaking like this, Chen Ling opened his eyes from the fog, and in a trance, he saw a familiar face in front of him, and that face always appeared in his dreams. In a daze, he wanted to try to see this face clearly, and he said to himself movingly: "Xiaojing, is it you?" I know that it is only in my dreams that you come to me like this. ”
He cautiously stretched out his hands to hug Xiaojing, for fear that she would slip out of his dream. Xiaojing was a little overwhelmed by what happened suddenly, she wanted to break free, but he hugged her tighter.
His hug left her almost breathless. Just when she was in a dilemma, Zhang Qi rushed over and pulled Chen Ling away. While dragging him, I listened to him cry out in pain: "Why not me?" ”
took Chen Ling away, leaving Yu Yang and Xiaojing to stand at each other, embarrassed and silent. After a while, Yu Yang walked over, took Xiaojing's hand and said, "Let's go back." ”
Xiaojing felt Yu Yang's unprecedented strength, and her hands turned white when she pinched the ground, but she didn't speak, just was quietly pulled by him like this.
Tonight was another moonlit and starry night, and behind them dragged the long shadows of the two in the moonlight.
No one mentioned this night's incident after that, they just regarded it as Chen Ling's drunken talk. And Chen Ling has already vented today, but he hides his thoughts deeper, he forces himself to deliberately keep a distance from Xiaojing, and he uses busyness to fill the emptiness and sadness in his heart.
