Chapter 25: An Unexpected Surprise
Early in the morning, Liu Nian's mother cooked noodles before waking Liu Nian up: "Come, go to school when you're full."
Without Liu Nian opening his mouth, Liu Maotian took out one hundred and fifty yuan, stretched out his hand and handed it to Liu Nian: "Na, living expenses." ”
Liu Nian was a little reluctant to take the money and muttered: "Give more, the school has just started to cost a lot, and there is a lack of this and that." ”
Liu Maotian took out another fifty and stuffed it into Liu Nian's hand.
"You also save some money, didn't you spend a hundred dollars a month? The more you want this, the more you want, your father earns those hundreds of dollars a month, and you alone withdraw half of it, don't buy what you shouldn't buy! Learn to pass a little! Maotian's daughter-in-law shouted on the side and did not forget to remind Liu Nian: "By the way, the umbrella is in your bag, look at this day, it's gloomy, don't get drenched"
Liu Nian said a little impatiently: "I know, I know." ”
"Write less to your home in the future." Liu Maotian suddenly came out of nowhere.
"Why?" Liu Nian is really curious, and there is a father who doesn't let his son write letters home.
"You don't have anything else to do when you write a letter, except for asking for money, you want money, don't write a letter if you don't want money!" Liu Maotian said with a black line on his face.
Liu Nian was really embarrassed when he thought about it, and laughed hehe.
Yawned and dozed all the way, and arrived in a daze to Jiyang. When I got off the bus, it really rained, and the rain was not big and scattered, but I felt very comfortable.
Liu Nian walked out of the station with both hands. The bus to the school, but just when it arrived at the station, the open door seemed to open its big mouth, swallowing the crowd in one gulp, and the few remaining people were left with food scraps outside.
Liu Nian ran two steps closely, and when the car door was about to close, Liu Nian rushed up in one step. may be the reason why many schools are open today, the people in the car are crowded into porridge, Liu Nian hangs at the door, leans in hard, and reluctantly closes the door.
The advantage of being crowded is that you don't have to hold on to the handrails and you don't have to worry about falling. When you brake, you follow everyone forward, when you drive, you follow everyone backwards, where there are pits, you follow everyone, and the bus driver's face seems to be wearing a mask, numb and sluggish, so the movements are coherent but also mechanical, and a car of people is like a soulless puppet following the car with the flow.
The people in the car were lifeless, and only the radio in the car sweetly broadcast the station name over and over again. People come up and down, go down and come up, like a bus that eats and vomits, vomits and eats.
It's finally here. Liu Nian jumped out of the front door and stomped on his feet, which were a little numb. When I turned around, I saw Liu Ci walking down from the back door.
Wow! Liu Nian felt a burst of excitement in his heart, this was simply an unexpected surprise. Speaking in his heart, Liu Nian secretly talked to Liu Ci this holiday I don't know how many times, and unconsciously the name Liu Ci is like a tenacious weed growing in Liu Nian's heart, although there has been a big stone on it, the roots are getting deeper and deeper, and the power accumulated by the new sprouts may one day be able to overturn the big stone.
I happened to take the same bus with Liu Ci today, but I didn't find it a little regrettable all the way, but fortunately, I was able to accompany Liu Ci all the way to school! It's beautiful just to think about!
Liu Ci didn't notice Liu Nian, he didn't know if he was feeling unwell, or if he had something on his mind, he lowered his head and walked slowly and a little listlessly.
Her black hair was still a little messy and spread out casually, and a small rain fell down and hung on her hair, and small droplets of water shone brightly, like blinking stars around Liu Ci's face. Liu Ci also didn't use an umbrella, as if he was absent-minded.
Liu Nian hurriedly shouted: "Liu Ci!"
Liu Ci raised his head and smiled politely at Liu Nian, but Liu Nian noticed that Liu Ci's eyes were a little red and he didn't know if he had cried or rubbed it.
"Don't you have an umbrella?" Liu Nian didn't dare to ask more, so he could only be kind and polite.
Liu Ci nodded.
"Hit my umbrella! I don't need to, I feel very comfortable in this light rain. Liu Nian said, took out an umbrella from the bag on his back, stretched it out and handed it to Liu Ci, and was afraid that Liu Ci would refuse, and then said: "Hurry up, it's troublesome to catch a cold, and I'm not afraid of being strong and raining." ”
Liu Ci hesitated for a moment and reached out to take the umbrella, and walked in front unhurriedly with the umbrella without saying much, Liu Nian followed her quietly, and was embarrassed to get too close, and didn't want to be too far away, so the two kept a distance from the open umbrella and walked one after the other. From the stop sign to the school, it took a long time, and the two of them seemed to have something on their minds, and no one spoke along the way, and they followed each other, and those who didn't know thought they were a little couple who quarreled about the Cold War.
The eyes of passers-by first swept over Liu Ci and then over Liu Nian, with a clear hint of envy, Liu Nian was satisfied with this moment of vanity, and he even hoped that passers-by would misunderstand. Ay! I don't know what kind of man it will be who can accompany Liu Ci through his life? For Liu Nian, this should be the dream of a lifetime. Well, well, I am very lucky to be able to accompany Liu Ci like this.
A faint girlish fragrance diffused into Liu Nian's nose from time to time, even Liu Nian had some strange feelings in his heart, this girl who seemed unattainable on weekdays was standing beside Liu Nian.
Deep down in his heart, Liu Nian Liu Nian fell in love with this girl early, but the self-aware Liu Nian strangled some unrealistic fantasies to death early in the bud, just think about it, don't put it into action.
Just like when they visited the department store in Mengyuan County with Shi Guoqiang, the beautiful clothes hanging in the richly decorated and brightly lit specialty store must have a high price.
It's good to look at it from a distance, and if you get closer, you may be stared at or even ridiculed for no reason. Liu Nian, who came from the countryside, understood this truth early on.
At this time, Liu Ci was obviously worried, and Liu Nian could feel it when he was stupid. It's just that she didn't say it, Liu Nian didn't want to ask, after all, they were just ordinary classmates, plus the friendship of borrowing an umbrella in the rain.
Looking at her thin and seemingly lonely back, Liu Nian suddenly had a strong urge to protect her. This beautiful girl who can't hurt but can't hurt it, who can't bear to let her be wronged? What broke her heart? If I had such a girlfriend, I would definitely hold her in my hands, how could I bear to let her be hurt a little. Along the way, Liu Nian, who was calm on the surface, had turbulent waves in his heart.
When he was about to arrive at the school gate, the rain was a little urgent, Liu Ci's footsteps slowed down, Liu Nian immediately understood, and walked two steps quickly and lined up with Liu Ci: "You take the umbrella first, and then give it to me another day." ”
Liu Ci raised his head: "Thank you Liu Nian!" ”
At this time, Liu Ci had returned to his former appearance calmly and indifferently from the surface, if he hadn't happened to be bumped into by Liu Nian when he got out of the car, maybe Liu Nian would have always felt that Liu Ci was the person here, and it turned out that there was also a weak body wrapped under this layer of hard shell.
"Liu Ci! If there's anything you can tell me if it's convenient! Liu Nian blurted out, his eyes revealing firmness and sincerity.
Liu Ci's eyelids quietly lifted and said lightly: "It's okay." "Turn around and walk into the school.
When school was out at noon the next day, Liu Nian saw Liu Ci take his umbrella out of the drawer, Liu Nian deliberately pretended to pack up the textbook and rubbed for a while, and sure enough, Liu Ci came over and returned the umbrella to Liu Nian.
Liu Ci nodded lightly and turned to leave. There seemed to be the residual warmth of Liu Ci's palm on the umbrella handle, and Liu Nian's heart suddenly warmed up, and he didn't put down the umbrella for a long time.
In the legend of the White Snake, the White Lady and Zhang Sheng had an umbrella, and one borrowed one and attracted a strange fate, what kind of story will this umbrella have today? Or does it stop abruptly? Liu Nian fiddled with the umbrella, preoccupied for a while, I don't know if this umbrella understands this young man's full heart at the moment.
A small note inadvertently fell out of the umbrella and fell to the ground in a circle like a dancing elf. Liu Nian leaned over and picked it up, and a line of delicate small characters appeared in front of Liu Nian's eyes: Thank you for lending me the umbrella......
At this moment, Liu Nian felt that he and Liu Ci were suddenly much closer, and this subtle feeling couldn't help but make Liu Nian a little excited. It's just that Liu Nian knows that there are some things that don't be overly extravagant, if you really suffer from them, it would be good if you could become Liu Ci's friend now.
