Chapter 32: A Narrow Encounter

A year later, Yu Yang and Xiaojing's lives gradually returned to calm, and every time they looked up at the starry sky, they would be nostalgic for the beauty they once had. Looking at the rising sun and the falling stars every day, they all hope that each other is well under the same moonlight.

Yu Yang slowly adapted to life in the United States, and when he first arrived, his English was always stumbling, but now communication is barrier-free. In the United States, he changed his major to focus on finance. He used ten times the energy he used to study in China, and he knew that only in this way could there be another way out.

Outside of class, he worked as a Chinese tutor for his two children and also worked part-time at a OnePlus restaurant. Their lives are much better than when they first arrived, and their mother has a stable job. Despite still being poor, despite still being in debt, he felt that there was hope in life.

He even learned to cook well, and often when his mother was too busy, he had to cook and send it to the hospital for his father.

Because he was busy, he didn't have the extra energy to be sad and reminisce, he could only hide Xiaojing deep in his heart. He thought maybe she was just as busy as he was. In his opinion, busyness is a good thing, it makes you forget your troubles.

He guessed correctly, Xiaojing also let herself spin like a spinning top, she was busier than when he was there. It's just that she quit all the clubs, including the dance she loves. After last year's Mid-Autumn Festival, she never mentioned anything too Yang, and she silently quit her original part-time job; She never went to the library and classroom they used to frequent; She always avoided the road they used to come back to every day.

Everyone thought she had forgotten the past, and she was just waiting in a different way. The days of waiting for memories are too long and too painful. They are like two parallel lines that don't intersect, but they move forward in the same way.

On this day, Yu Yang went to visit his father in the hospital as usual, but he never thought that when he walked into the hospital gate, a familiar figure walked out from the front.

Yu Yang subconsciously avoided it, wanted to turn around and want to go out, he didn't expect to meet Qin Xue again, or in such a situation.

This is the first time Qin Xue has come to the hospital, her illness is now very stable, and the person named Yu Yang has gradually faded out of her life. It's just that she never thought that she would meet him like this in a foreign land a year later.

At the same time that Yu Yang found her, she also found Yu Yang, she was a little nervous and didn't dare to recognize each other, and when she saw that he was going out, she was a little anxious, so she quickened her pace to catch up and shouted tentatively: "Yu Yang." ”

Hearing her shouting her name, Yu Yang knew that there was no way to avoid it, so he could only stop, a little embarrassed, and slowly turned around.

Only then did Qin Xue see clearly the face she had missed countless times, he had lost a lot of weight, but he looked more mature than before.

She couldn't believe what she saw: "Yu Yang, is it really you?" ”

"Long time no see." As he spoke, Yu Yang's eyes were dodging.

"Why are you here?" Qin Xue also felt like she was in a dream, this person who had appeared in her dreams countless times suddenly appeared in front of her without warning.

"Oh, the family relationship followed." Yu Yang said lightly.

"How long have you been here?"

"It's been a year."

"Oh, it's been a year." Qin Xue's eyes were obviously a little lost, he had been here for a year, and he had never contacted him. But what can she say, in what state did she face him a year ago?

She glanced at the lunch box in Yu Yang's hand and asked puzzledly, "Is your family sick?" ”

"My dad is hospitalized here."

"What's wrong with uncle?"

"Heart disease."

"How's it going?"

"It's not too good, I'm still waiting for a matching heart."

"Then I'll have to pay a visit."

"Oh, it's okay." He subconsciously avoided it.

She heard him say this and knew what he meant, but she didn't think much about it at that time, she just felt that she should choose to visit out of politeness: "Don't think so much, after all, classmates are rare, and it is rare to meet in a different place, and after I came out, I realized how good it is to meet my compatriots." ”

Seeing that Qin Xue said this, Yu Yang couldn't excuse herself, so she took her back to her father's ward.

Yu Yang's mother was peeling apples for his father, and when she saw Yu Yang coming in with a girl, she quickly stood up from the chair: "Yangyang, this is?" ”

When Qin Xue saw Yu Yang's mother, she took the initiative to greet her: "Hello Auntie, I am Yu Yang's college classmate." ”

"It's such a coincidence, you also transferred to another school? When did it come? Yu Yang's mother looked at Qin Xue, this girl was beautiful and polite, which made her have a good first impression.

"Yes, I've been here for over a year." Qin Xue didn't really want to bring up the topic of the United States, so she diverted the conversation and asked about Yu Yang's father's situation: "How is my uncle now?"

"Been waiting for a matching heart. If he hadn't collapsed like this, we wouldn't have ......."

"Qin Xue, you can eat an apple." Yu Yang suddenly interrupted his mother's words, he didn't want her to mention this topic with Qin Xue.

"Yes, yes, look at me, come on, you just said that your name is Qin Xue, this aunt's freshly peeled apple, you eat it." Yu Yang's mother was talking, her afterglow swept over her son, and also looked at Qin Xue, after all, she was an elder, and she could capture different feelings from the girl's eyes.

"No, thank you, Auntie. Auntie, you can call me Xiaoxue. My aunt seems to know a cardiologist, so I will ask her when I go back to see if I can help. ”

"Gee, it would be great if that was the case, thank you so much."

"Auntie, don't say that, I don't know if I can help yet."

Yu Yang's mother listened to Qin Xue's heart like this, and she liked this girl even more. Such a meeting in a different place, being able to have the heart to visit, and being willing to reach out to help, this should be an unusual feeling.

Coming out of the ward, Yu Yang thanked Qin Xue again. He always frowned slightly when he spoke, as if he was full of thoughts. This made Qin Xue feel that he hadn't seen him for a year, and it was not only himself who had changed a lot, but also him.

Probably his life here this year has also been very unsatisfactory, once she thought that when she got better, she would return all this pain to him twice, but when she saw him, she was indeed more unbearable and reluctant.

She thought that she had already died in her heart, and it turned out that the emotion was still in the bottom of her heart, and it was only sealed for a short time. Her heart rekindled the longing and unwillingness she had once had. As they walked one after the other, he didn't say anything more, but only said politely when he was about to walk out of the hospital gate: "Then I'll go first, goodbye." ”

"Wait a minute" was stopped again, he was still so unnatural. At this time, she couldn't care so much, after all, who knows when she will be able to see each other again, not to mention that she promised to help: "You leave the phone to me, and when I ask about the situation, I will tell you the news." ”

"Oh." Yu Yang responded passively.

She could see that Yu Yang's expression was hesitant. She couldn't help but sigh that even when she went to the United States, she was still the one who took the initiative.

Looking at his back without looking back, she once again felt pitiful and humble. Probably because the previous illness wore away her edges and corners, now she is much calmer and more downbeat on many things.
