Chapter 109 The Pearl Tower has not yet been built
When Li Yun heard me say that the name of the bookstore is "No Coincidence Can't Be Done" bookstore, she laughed so hard that she almost fell off her bicycle, and repeatedly learned my tone and deliberately broke the sentence and said: "No coincidence is not a book - shop!" "I laughed as I learned.
On Christmas Day, Li Yun received a letter from her father, telling her that he would return to Hangzhou to see her on New Year's Day and that he wanted her to go to Hong Kong to play during the Chinese New Year.
Li Yun told me about this, saying that she would not go anywhere for the Chinese New Year this year, so she would stay in her little nest in Hangzhou, and by the way, she could help me prepare for the opening of the bookstore.
I know that Li Yun is a person who is extremely afraid of loneliness, and she went to Hong Kong to face a strange family, even a new home that she hated in her heart, in that home, she could only be lonely. And here, at least, there is me, at least for now, I can't bear to let her bear the pain of loneliness.
In that paradise-like rental house, there is her magic weapon to escape the hustle and bustle of the world, and when the door is closed, she has warmth and sweetness. In her heart, that's what she believes, escaping loneliness and seeking warmth can only be achieved in the small universe she and I have built together.
When I entered the third grade, I suddenly found that I was missing a third of my homework. The third year college students spend most of their time falling in love. This is the last glory, in the fourth year students will be looking for an internship unit and trying to stabilize in that unit, while non-local students will try their best to stay in Hangzhou and stay in this beautiful city. At the same time, many lovers from their school days will go their separate ways due to work assignments and other reasons, so it can be said that the third year is the last year to enjoy the passionate love of youth at all costs.
New Year's Day in 1993 came as scheduled, and Li Shusheng really returned to Hangzhou and came to see his baby daughter with great fanfare. But he was disappointed again, because from the last day of 1992, Li Yun had been pulling me to the rental room, and she had obviously made up her mind not to meet her biological father. I don't think she knew how to deal with Li Shusheng and how to respond to Li Shusheng's request to let her come to Hong Kong for the New Year. When Li Yun didn't know how to express her emotions and couldn't find her own answer, she would shrink into the corner like a wounded cat.
On the last night of 1992, we invited the two sisters Chen Jing to eat hot pot, the so-called hot pot, in fact, is to fill the electric wok with water, boil it, and then put some soup in it, and then put it on the table to be regarded as a hot pot soup base, and then put meat and vegetables in it.
The ingenious Chen Jing also cut a lot of window paper and pasted it on our doors and windows, this craft really surprised me, the paper-cuts she cut out are very delicate, they are some animals such as pigs, cows, rabbits and the like, plus the edging of the pattern, it looks very festive.
Although it is the atmosphere of the New Year, I see that Li Yun is always preoccupied. It's no wonder that she may be waiting for her father's arrival, but she can't see her when her father comes, but she just paradoxically escapes, hiding in this paradise and not daring to meet.
That night, Sister Chen Jing brought home-brewed rice wine, packed in a glass bottle with a large volume of five plus skin labels, and Li Yun drank a lot, I told her that rice wine tastes sweet but is the easiest to get drunk, she still doesn't believe it, and half-jokingly said: "You, you mean, you are like this rice wine, sweet, but it is the easiest to make girls drunk, right?" ”
I believe that Li Yun should not say such a thing when she is sober, Sister Chen Jing has already faintly felt that Li Yun today is very weird, she drinks very quickly, although she is smiling on the surface, and she pours wine for us enthusiastically. By the time we found out that the situation was not good, most of the bottles of rice wine had been drunk, and Li Yun was the one who drank the most.
I looked at the words and found that Li Yun was already blue, and I knew that this girl was really overdrunk. The Chen Jing sisters hurriedly hid the remaining small half bottle of wine, but they didn't expect Li Yun to start a drunken madness, screaming for them to take out the wine, while shouting: "Let me get drunk, please, let me get drunk to death." ”
I gave Chen Jing a look and asked them to quickly slip away with the wine bottle, this bottle of hometown rice wine could kill Li Yun.
Sister Chen Jing said that she was going to the toilet, and the first one ran away with the wine bottle, and Chen Jing asked me worriedly: "What happened to Sister Xiaoyun today?"
I said that Xiao Yun may have something on her mind, you go back to rest first, and I will take care of her.
As soon as Chen Jing walked on the front foot, as soon as the door was closed, I heard a "wow" sound behind me, and my heart was not good, and when I looked back, Li Yun had already vomited all the wine and food to the ground, her body was weak, and she slowly knelt on the ground, and vomited in the dark.
I wanted to help her up, poor Li Yun was tall and tall, and she was soft and had no strength, while spitting out the acid water in her stomach, tears flowed, and finally changed from vomiting to crying loudly.
I was so panicked that I didn't know what to do, so I had to splash a towel in cold water on her face, then wring it dry and gently scrubbing her until her cheeks were rosy.
I struggled to drag Li Yun to the bed, but I could only use the word "drag", and the first time I learned that Li Yun's beautiful and sexy body was still quite heavy.
The next step is to open the windows and let the cold air pour into the house to wash away the unpleasant turbidity in the room.
I hastily cleaned up the ground, poured a glass of boiling water and cooled it there, picked up Li Yun, who was lying on her side on the bed, and patted her back to make Li Yun a little more comfortable. At this time, Li Yun was neither awake but also completely unconscious, she fell into a muddy and nightmare situation, shortness of breath, a painful and distorted expression appeared on her face, her eyes sometimes opened a slit and sometimes closed tightly, and occasionally looked at me in a daze, her eyes were full of desire for help, but her lips were clenched and she couldn't speak.
I really didn't expect that the sweet rice wine would torture Li Yun like this, I felt a pain in my heart, I couldn't help but hug her, stroked her face, hair and shoulders, and whispered to her: "Xiao Yun, are you better?" Still hard? I'm sorry, I should have thought that you were in a bad mood tonight and shouldn't have let you drink a long time ago, or that I should have snatched your glass and drank it for you. I'm sorry, Yun. ”
I gave a soft kiss on the tip of her small, upturned nose. I didn't know that I would feel so sorry for Li Yun, didn't I say that it was going to end? It's not that everything should end if you want to end, and isn't Li Yun exactly the relationship and the person I want to end? Why do I feel heartache when I see Li Yun's painful expression?
In fact, I, like Li Yun, have also fallen into a confused situation. That kind of heartache is not out of deep thought, but completely out of instinct, just like the pain that Li Yun received, I can naturally feel it, I don't need to think about it, I don't need to experience it carefully and hard, but it makes me love and pity very easily.
Suddenly, Li Yun* paused, opened her eyes, and kept looking at me. Her hand was gently caressing my face.
"Zhou Xu, Zhou Xu," she murmured, "don't say sorry to me, it's all my bad and I worry you." Thank you for being so kind to me, so gentle, and I am so happy. ”
I said to her, "Would you like to drink some hot water now?" It will make the stomach feel a little more comfortable. I'll get it for you. ”
As I spoke, I was about to get up. Li Yun pulled the sleeve of my coat violently and said loudly, "Don't!" Don't walk away. ”
I could only sit there and not move, and then, I heard Li Yun exclaim excitedly: "As long as you don't leave me, I can endure anything!" As long as you don't leave, please, you have to be so kind and gentle to me for the rest of your life, otherwise I will die!"
I stroked her long hair, and there was a sharp ache in my heart that almost brought my heart to a halt.
Li Yun suddenly showed a hint of a smile, and said slowly: "There is no Pearl Tower at all, not at all, the Pearl Tower in Shanghai, it is not yet, it has not been built." ”
