Chapter 118: The Year of Pian Pian (Part II)
Later, he came to the hospital almost every day to see her, talk to her, share what he saw and heard with her, and sometimes bring her a meaningful book or two.
He said he used to look through the books when he reached a dead end.
He slowly accepted his presence and began to take his own initiative.
After being discharged from the hospital, he would still come to see her, and Uncle Jiang welcomed his arrival.
Uncle Jiang seems to like this person named Si Shaonian very much, and when he offered to take her out for a walk, Uncle Jiang agreed without hesitation.
In fact, she is used to staying alone in the room, and she doesn't like to go out, the excitement outside has nothing to do with her, and she even feels noisy.
He insisted on taking her out, but he couldn't resist his insistence, and she finally agreed.
He took her to famous scenic spots, and in front of each characteristic building, he would stop and patiently explain to her about the characteristics or history of the building.
"You like architecture?" Because every time he explains these things, he is so bright.
"I like it." He never hid it from her, "In the beginning, I actually wanted to be an architect, but later, I changed my mind and I wanted to be a lawyer. ”
"Why?" She asked curiously.
"Because ......," he hesitated at her for the first time.
"Forget it, I don't want to hear it." She saw his embarrassment and kindly interrupted.
"My father, who was a construction worker, was injured at the construction site." Pain flashed in his eyes, "This was supposed to be a work injury, but the construction company where he worked insisted that the injury was caused by my father's operation error, and refused to pay any compensation, resulting in us being asked to be discharged from the hospital because we could not afford the high cost of treatment." ”
"Someone suggested that we should find a better lawyer to go to court, so that we could get the compensation back." He was bitter, "But at that time, where did we have the money to hire a lawyer, and my father's injury had put the whole family in trouble." ”
"So, you want to be a lawyer?" It turns out that everyone has misfortunes of one kind or another.
"yes, doesn't that sound superficial?"
"It's not." She suddenly didn't like to see him frowning, but she still wanted to continue listening, "What about later?" Has your father's illness been cured? ”
"He's gone." He hoarsely voiced, "The wound worsened, left." ”
She choked suddenly, "I'm sorry. ”
"It's fine." He smiled again, "At least, I still have a mother and a sister." ”
"You still have a sister?" I guess I'm a very good-looking person.
"Hmm." His gaze sank, "She's five years older than me. ”
"She must be a very good person." Kind of wanted to see what his sister looked like.
"She's excellent." There was no look of pride on his face, but a little sadness, "Mother's health was not very good, but after my father left, she was hit too hard, and her health was even worse, sister...... My sister gave up her studies to take on the responsibilities of the family, and she took care of my mother and my daily life while going to work. ”
She watched his expression, a little reluctant to listen.
story, as sad as it sounds.
"At the beginning, because of my excellent grades and outstanding language skills, I won a scholarship from the university to study abroad, I don't want to see my mother depressed every day, I don't want to see my sister give up her ideals and force a smile, I want to leave that sad place for a while, to see the outside world."
"So, I left the house, I left them, am I very selfish?"
"It's not." She shook her head vigorously, "You just want to be a better version of yourself, and when you have the ability, you can go back and repay them." ”
The hand that wanted to touch her stopped in mid-air and slowly retracted it, and he smiled heartily.
"I seem to be a little relieved to hear you say this, and someone has finally helped me find a reasonable excuse that doesn't make me feel guilty every day."
Perhaps she didn't want to see him smile and smile, or perhaps, feeling the same sorrow between them, she opened her heart and began to tell her past.
He listened quietly, and finally he put his arm on her shoulder and gently pulled her over......
In the following dating time, he has been making her happy, and it can be seen that he has worked hard.
He even studied a lot about psychology and accompanied her to the psychiatrist to try to make her no longer need to take those therapeutic drugs.
He did everything he could to help her out of the haze cage.
She didn't let him down, trying to cheer herself up, two hearts slowly approaching, filling each other's gaps.
She began to take the initiative to talk to him, to ask him out on a hangout, to tell him what he liked or didn't like.
During that time, she had completely become his most reliable spiritual dependence.
With him, she felt joy and joy, and even the nightmares were much less, and she began to look forward to seeing him.
He's really a very good guy, so good that it's almost perfect.
Just like that person......
She thought they would always be so happy.
But everything in this world seems to have been arranged in the dark, no matter how unwilling you are to accept it, fortunately or unfortunately, it will come as promised.
Gradually, she noticed that his smile began to be mixed with some reluctance, and he said less, and although she still tried to make her smile, she could actually see that he had something on his mind.
She asked each other several times, but he cleverly avoided the topic.
She thought that he had only encountered some difficulties temporarily, and it was difficult to talk about it, so she gave up her intention to ask.
Until one day, she overheard the phone call between him and his family.
Her sister, who loved him very much, in order to make the life of the family more sufficient, she was deceived into being a wine escort by nature, and it was not until the police brought the illegal place that his mother knew the truth.
She saw with her own eyes that the phone fell from his hand, and the dignified seven-foot man squatted down and burst into tears.
She went up to hug him and comforted him, telling him: I can let Uncle Jiang take care of the aunts, and they won't have to work so hard in the future.
He suddenly changed his face: Boss Jiang's money, but it's clean?
She understood that he was the kind of person who bullied his sister.
She protected Uncle Jiang and became angry about it, and the two broke up unhappily.
Then for a while, he didn't come to look for her, it was like disappearing.
She didn't blame him, but she suddenly understood one thing, that is, between them, maybe nothing good would come out.
He was under heavy pressure, he felt sorry for his mother, he felt guilty for his sister, and the reason why he worked so hard was to make up for all this debt.
He is as clean as a blank sheet of paper, and one day this blank paper is bound to show a colorful world.
And in this world, there shouldn't be her.
She remembered that that winter, with goose feathers and heavy snow, through the glass window, she saw him wearing a thin trench coat, standing at her door, full of sadness.
It's really not like him.
She opened the door, they looked at each other, and the first thing she heard him say was: Qinghe, I'm sorry, I was wrong.
She took his hand, put it to her mouth and sighed, and rubbed it again, "Your hands are so cold." ”
No matter how cold it is, it can't cool her heart.
She knew that he didn't belong to her anymore.
"I miss you so much."
He wanted to hug her, but she took two steps back and leaned against the door frame, "Shao Nian, does Uncle Jiang look down on you for doing this?" ”
"Nope." He was annoyed, ashamed of his unscrupulous words.
"Where have you been during this time?" He didn't take the initiative to contact her, and neither did she.
"I just want to be alone to calm down and figure things out."
"What's the matter?"
"I ......," he began to slurr.
She showed that she didn't care and said calmly, "You want to break up with me?" ”
"It's not ......," he became more and more unconfident.
He didn't dare say yes.
Because I know her temper too well.
"Why don't you even dare to tell the truth?" She wouldn't let him go.
"Qinghe, I ......" he seemed to muster up his courage, "I admit, I thought about this question, but ......"
He was reluctant and couldn't let go.
"I promised." She wouldn't let him continue.
"What do you mean?" His face was full of shock.
"Meaning, I promised to break up with you, you don't have to worry about it so much."
"You ......" he seemed to be angry, "I've just been under too much pressure lately, I need time to settle down, I've done a lot of ideological struggles, no matter what, I don't want to leave you, I want to be with you, no matter what I have to face in the future, I want to be with you, can you understand?" ”
"I don't understand." She relented, "I don't like to be too complicated. ”
He was tired enough, and she didn't want to make him even more tired.
"Qinghe, this is your attitude?" He was so angry that he almost trembled.
"Yes." She avoided his gaze, "Thank you for your company for the past two years, and in the future, we will be okay separately." ”
He clenched his fists and couldn't say a word.
When he spoke again, his tone was colder than the white snowflakes, "Okay, let's break up." ”
Turned away without looking back.
She closed the door, took off her shoes, and walked frantically around the room until at last she was tired and lay on the floor, curled up in a ball.
Tears, burst the embankment.
It didn't take long for him to come to the door again, still waiting.
But she never wanted to see him again.
Once we meet, all the previous efforts will be in vain.
Her heart will not be able to bear it.
Later, she changed places to live, just to hide from him.
She knew he would look for her.
But what she didn't know was that his search, which lasted so long.
The person who had been by her side at the lowest point of her life had finally disappeared from her life.
He had come and planted a seed of hope in her world, which later germinated, grew, and eventually grew into a tree in the sky.
He must also be like this big tree, standing proudly against the sky and the earth.
That optimistic, kind and brave person, she hopes that one day, he can break out of the cocoon into a butterfly, spread his wings and fly high, and from then on he will not be stumbled by the suffering of this world, find the best lover, and be happy all his life.
The only blessing she could give him was this.
