Chapter 14: Letters
The snow melted, the air in the small courtyard was fresh and humid, and the sun was like a smiling old man, kindly caressing the old green bricks and blue tiles. Melting snow trickles down from the somewhat mottled eaves and merges into a warm stream in the corners......
About the first week of the holiday, Lan Yue received Cheng Yu's first letter, and there will be one every few days after that, Cheng Yu is a literati who likes to use this ancient way to describe his life and secretly vent his feelings. Lan Yue felt that his words seemed to be more charming and warm than his people. She locked the letters in a drawer, picked them out every night, and read the passionate sentences over and over again. Those sentences seemed to carry Cheng Yu's warm breath, like prose poems, flowing into Lan Yue's heart, making her worship him and appreciate him more.
As a result, waiting for letters, reading letters, and replying to letters have become the most important work during the Lanyue holiday.
School is about to start after the Spring Festival, Lan Yue can't hide her excitement, and she has a little worry. There is another week, a week is only 168 hours, and in another 168 hours it will be the separation of the homeland, the reunion of the foreign land. She was excited, as if she heard the powerful heartbeat in Cheng Yu's chest again. She worries that she doesn't know if the parents' quarrel and cold war will continue or escalate after he leaves. "Alas, if this is how love turns out, then is it necessary for me to fall in love? Cheng Yu, I can't do without you now, will I become a private detective like my mother in the future? ”
"Yue'er, your letter." Grandma Li from the neighborhood committee in the front yard walked in a little staggeringly.
"Teacher Xiao, as soon as you go to college in the month, our postman here is also busy, I think your house should have a separate letter box."
"Thank you, Auntie! In the future, you can leave her alone and let him get it himself, she is young. Xiao Ying took the letter from Grandma Li's hand, but Lan Yue took it away.
"Oops. She waits there every day, asks every day, I'm very anxious to see the child, this is not a postman, I will send it quickly, there are not many people who like to write letters these days, that is, you literate people. Grandma Li was still chattering as she walked.
"Thank you, Grandma Li, you go slowly." Lan Yue was worried and angry at this time, this Grandma Li, really, I waited for the letter because I was afraid that my mother would know that I had received a lot of letters and would be suspicious, you old man is good.
Lan Yue had already seen her mother's serious doubts, and she hurriedly went into her room.
How are two letters? One is Cheng Yu's, and the other is one? This trace is not unfamiliar, it is ......, out of curiosity, he first looked at the signature - Zhan Simin? Why did Sister Simin write to me? Since the New Year's Day party, the relationship between the two of them has been very awkward, although Simin is silent, Lan Yue can still detect faint hostility. Although Cheng Yu didn't pay much attention to these things, the two girls knew it.
The letter was written for four full pages, and Lan Yue hurriedly crossed over those greetings......
"These days, I am often with Cheng Yu," Lan Yue's heart seemed to be hollowed out at once, "There seems to be something going on in their family, he often lives in the same school, or he is in the school, most of the classmates in the literary club who are in the city often come, he said that he is about to graduate, and he wants to hand over the affairs of the literary club and the school magazine to us as soon as possible." ”
"Cheng Yu and I are buddies, he has confessed to all of us, he likes you very much and cherishes you very much. And now we're just like-minded people to work with. He is a rare talent, steady and romantic, deep and chic, flexible, knowledgeable, courageous, assertive, a real man, I do not hide my good opinion of him. I know that in the four years of college, there are countless girls around him, but he has never really patted it, but for some reason he suddenly has a soft spot for you as a little girl. You're so much younger than us, and we're ashamed that our big sisters didn't help you with your life. However, if we pay attention to you, you may not know Cheng Yu so quickly, and to be honest, I won't give you a chance to meet him. Still, I admire your intelligence and calmness.
Everyone has the right to pursue happiness, and this right is fair to you and me, and I will not be jealous of you, but I will not give it up easily. I, Zhan Simin, will not bully my little sister, let's all take advantage of fate and opportunities! Go your own way. By the way, my brother Zheng Fei has a crush on you, you have to be prepared, he is a difficult guy, I have warned him not to hit the attention of underage girls, but I don't know if it works......"
"Yue'er, why do you have so many letters, who is so good with you?" Mom asked Lan Yue through the window.
"Oh, it's a dormitory, it's called Zhan Simin, the vice president of our student union, female." Lan Yue felt that her answer was very funny, isn't this "there are no three hundred taels of silver here"?
Zhan Simin is Zhan Simin, her straightforwardness, tolerance, and generosity are indeed admirable. Lan Yue tucked Simin's letter in the book. started to look at another one, this one is Cheng Yu's......
"Month:
Hello,"
This title is so kind, how can it feel so different by subtracting one word? In Cheng Yu's letter, from Lan Yue - to Xiao Yue - Yue'er - the last month, this month word seems to melt the age gap between each other.
Cheng Yu's letter seemed to be written on impulse, and the letter was very short, which confused Lan Yue at the beginning.
"Do you know what deception is? The world can be full of deception. The most oblivious deception often comes from the closest and most trusted people. I don't know if it's because the world is so funny, or if my moral judgment is wrong. In short, I met the most sanctimonious hypocrite in the world, who deceived his son, deceived his dying wife, and whose excellent acting skills won the sympathy and understanding of good people, and won the respect and love of his son. Do you know? This is my father, the father I told you, full of wealth and morality, the lover who had to wait for the last moment of her life. It turns out that he has always been a liar, eight years ago, maybe even earlier, my poor mother, who trusted him so much until the last moment...... I'm sorry, Yue'er, forgive me for being so brainless and brainless, I really can't help myself, it's like something is blocked in my chest, and I'll go crazy if I don't spit it out. No one can understand me, this home is getting stranger and stranger, if it weren't for you, I might have gone back to the countryside earlier, can you come back early? I'll wait for you ......"
Lan Yue was confused, what happened? Is Cheng Yu's father going to have a new life? This is a good thing, it's been eight years, Cheng Yu is too selfish, why is he so harsh on his father? Do you want to leave your father alone for the rest of your life? He still has a long life! Cheng Yu, such an experienced person, when he encounters his own affairs, why is he not as sensible as me, a yellow-haired girl? Maybe......
