An Impossible to Reject Confession - Chapter 27

    After dinner, if it is still early, Xu Youyou will go back alone, but if it is too late, Grandma Qiao will definitely ask Qiao Mu or Lu Shi to send Xu Youyou back. Lu Shi knew his cousin’s thoughts, and naturally he would not fight with Qiao Mu, so Qiao Mu sent it every time. Although he felt that in the event of a robbery, it would not necessarily be Xu Youyou who would be protected.

    There are a lot of homework after class today, and they are all subjects that Xu Youyou is not good at, so I went back a little later. Packing up the schoolbag, Qiao Mu sent Xu Youyou back as usual.

    “I want to go straight home today.” Usually Xu Youyou would go to the main street first and wait for Ms. Ji to close the store before going back together.

    “Okay, let’s go from this side, it will be faster to go straight through the alley.” Qiao Mu is very familiar with the alleys of Hongluo Ancient Town, and he can find a quick walk anywhere. Arrival alley.

    “Hmm.” The night in early spring is still a little cool, and Hongluo Town is also a water town, and the humidity becomes heavier at night, and white fog can be faintly seen under the scattered street lamps. Yuyou was a little cold, and she couldn’t help tightening her coat tightly.

    “Are you cold?” Qiao Mu said, took off his coat and put it on Xu Youyou through the schoolbag.

      Although Qiaomu came back after the year, Xu Youyou already knew that Qiaomu had grown a lot, but until now, when she raised her eyes and could only see the boy’s chin, did she really feel the boy’s growth.

    “No, it’s just a gust of wind came over and I shivered. You know, I’m more afraid of cold than ordinary people.” Xu Youyou said that she was about to take off her clothes. “Take your clothes back.”

    “Wear it.” Qiao Mu held Xu Youyou’s hand, “You are more afraid of cold than ordinary people.”

    “You’re wearing short sleeves, you’ll catch a cold.”PanPan

    “No, you can walk to your house for more than ten minutes at most, then you can take it off and return it to me. Besides, it’s fine if I have a cold. If you accidentally induce cold symptoms, it will be troublesome. Don’t you say that the doctor has not found the cause yet?” In the past half a year, Xu Youyou has rarely had an episode in school, but occasionally he still has one or two episodes. During the winter vacation, he also asked Aunt Ji, Xu Youyou seemed to have frequent seizures during the New Year.

    Brother, take care of yourself, my cold will not come on.

    Xu Youyou can basically be sure that as long as the tree gets sick, she will definitely follow. I just don’t know if this disease is the shadow of Qiaomu’s childhood, or if she has a cold and a fever. Some daily diseases can also affect her. She didn’t seem to have seen Qiao Mu get sick in such a long time since she was reborn, so she might as well do an experiment this time.

    If Qiaomu catches a cold and she also suffers from a cold, then she…

    “Would you like to hear the story of my rebellious period?” Xu Youyou asked.

    “Okay.” Xu Youyou is willing to speak, and he is naturally willing to listen.

    “My dad is a big radish, a fine scumbag in the world.”

    Qiao Mu stumbled and almost fell over. He was ready to listen to the story, but he didn’t expect Xu Youyou to be so powerful in the first sentence. Parents, these are people who cannot be evaluated in the education Qiao Mu received since childhood.

      gave birth to me. Then two years later, he had an affair with his secretary and gave birth to another daughter, who is almost fourteen this year.”

    Qiao Mu’s beautiful eyes almost popped out of their sockets. He knew that Xu Youyou’s father was very rich, and business marriage was barely acceptable, but… Didn’t Aunt Ji get divorced last year?

      Custody was given to my dad. But what she didn’t count was that my dad would marry the person of the affair six months after the divorce, and at the same time transfer their illegitimate daughter’s hukou.”

    As an outsider, Qiao Mu couldn’t calm down when she heard this information, but Xu Youyou repeated it at this time, but she was indifferent as if she was talking about other people’s affairs. And the calmer it was at this time, the more painful it was at the beginning.

    “Then I became rebellious. I hated my father, the mistress, the illegitimate daughter, and the illegitimate daughter I grew up with, but I recognized the illegitimate daughter on the first day I entered the house. Be my sister’s eldest brother. From that moment on, I didn’t have anyone I liked in that family.” Xu Youyou exhaled and spoke slowly, her tone still very calm, “My mother also said that she would take me back to China, I didn’t agree. I just thought, why, the mistress has already squeezed my mother away, should I still make way for her daughter? I hate that mother-daughter pair, I can’t find a chance to create an opportunity. I don’t go to school very much. I go out to dance, fight, race cars, steal my dad’s wine and drink…”

    “You…” Qiao Mu’s eyes filled with distress, he wanted to say something, but he didn’t have the right language. I wanted to hug the girl, but I was afraid of being abrupt.

    Qiao Mutou once felt that his IQ was not enough.

     “Don’t worry, I’m still sensible, I didn’t do anything illegal, and I went back to school later.” Xu Youyou smiled.

    Qiao Mu nodded again and again, his voice full of happiness: “That is, you can’t punish yourself for other people’s mistakes?”

    “Can’t punish yourself for other people’s mistakes?” Xu Youyou looked at Qiaomu and repeated it meaningfully.

    Qiao Mu also nodded, nodded, and suddenly came back to it, and his heart was sore and numb.

    “Let’s not talk about the process, anyway, I gradually figured it out later, and I am no longer rebellious. I honestly went back to school and studied hard. However, my relationship with my family is not good, and My dad hardly speaks.” After she went to college, she didn’t go home during the winter and summer vacations, and until the year she climbed Mount Everest, she went back three times in total.

    “But you…”

    “You want to ask me why I still call him now?” Xu Youyou asked.

    “Yeah.” It’s not just a fight, that’s a regular fight, almost every night during the New Year period. Qiao Mu once thought that Xu Youyou and her father had a very good relationship.

    “Because…” Xu Youyou looked sideways at the young man beside him, seeing him ten years later.

    Qiao Mu looked back with uncontrollable curiosity on his face.

    Xu Youyou in the last life loves mountaineering and rock climbing. She has traveled to many places in the world and climbed many precipitous peaks. For some mountain peaks that may be life-threatening, the team members who go with them will write a suicide note in advance, or hang up a phone call to their family members, saying that if they miss them, they will try their best to survive. Only Xu Youyou, every time he went into battle lightly, and didn’t care about getting down.

    Because at that time, she and the Xu family had not been in contact for a long time, and Ms. Ji remarried two years after returning to China, and there was less contact. She felt like a lone wolf wandering in the snow-capped mountains. It seemed that only extreme sports could make her feel a little bit of awe of life.

    Before going to Mount Everest, that was the first time she thought about whether she could come down, because the difficulty of Mount Everest is well known to the world, the death rate is terrifying, no matter how powerful climbers are Chances are folded above. Before departure, the teammates began to write suicide notes again, and Xu Youyou rarely wrote two copies. But there are only six words in total, and it is still in duplicate.

    [I’m leaving. ] Leave it to their parents separately.

    Xu Youyou didn’t know how they would feel when they received this suicide note if she couldn’t get down, but it was written briefly, they didn’t have too many memories, and the sad time would be shorter. .

    Afterwards, she really died on the mountain, together with Qiaomu, Qiaomu confessed to her before she died…

    In her last life, before she had time to think deeply, she fell into a boundless silence, and when she woke up, she was born again. That moment of silence was like a blink of an eye, but it was like a dream as long as ten years. She woke up in a daze and saw her relatives who used to be almost strangers, but her heart was no longer empty.

    Because she knew that there was once a person who loved her until death, and even asked her for an afterlife.

    From beginning to end, Qiao Mu did not say too many affectionate words, just a simple confession. But this confession fell into her heart, took root and sprouted, in a barren land, full of greenery.

    Even now, Xu Youyou has not figured out if she likes Arbor, but she likes herself now and the greenness in her heart.

    “I’m rebellious, but to put it bluntly, I lack love. Later, I found out that there are still people who love me in this world, so I thought about it.” Xu Youyou said.

    “So you changed your mind and followed Aunt Ji back to China?” Ms. Ji is the gentlest mother Qiao Mu has ever seen.

    “That’s right.” Xu Youyou nodded, “The only thing that taught me during that rebellious time was not to waste my heart for those who didn’t love you. It’s okay to work or cry, Begging, making trouble, being well-behaved and sensible, it’s all useless.”

    Qiao Mu paused, glanced over the girl’s face, and landed on the mahogany door not far away: “Here it is.”

    Xu Youyou quickly took off her school uniform and returned it to Qiaomu.

      his face.

    Arbor did not close the zipper and wanted to dissipate the excessive heat.

    “Why don’t you pull the zipper?” Xu Youyou didn’t know what Qiaomu was thinking, so he raised his hand and helped Qiaomu pull up the zipper.

    “Thank you. Well, when you get home, I’ll go back.” I just talked all the way, and I walked slowly. If I don’t go back, my grandma should be worried.

    “Good night.” Qiao Mu waved his hand, turned and left.

    “Hey!” Xu Youyou stopped people.

    The tree turned around.

    Qiao Mu looked dazed and said, what does it mean? A few words of comfort?

    “I…I don’t know how to comfort people, I don’t know what to say?” For a long time, Qiao Mu lowered his head in frustration. If it is Lu Shi, who can speak well, he must be able to think of a lot of comforting words.

    “Then give him a comforting hug. When you are abroad, if you don’t know how to comfort someone, give them a hug.”

    Several times on the way, Qiao Mu wished he could give Xu Youyou a comforting hug, but he was afraid it would be inappropriate. Now that Xu Youyou took the initiative to mention it, Qiao Mu no longer avoided it, took a step forward and hugged the girl in front of her.

    This hug is very pure, Qiao Mu has no extra thoughts in his mind, his heartbeat is steady, and even his face, which was red from the temperature of his clothes, has returned to normal blood color.

    “Aunt Ji loves you very much.”

    And me.

    “I know.” Xu Youyou looked through the shoulders of the arbor, looking into the distance, the dark night, dotted with a few stars, “You have to cheer in the staging competition.”

    Ten minutes later, after Xu Youyou took a bath, changed into pajamas and just sat down, the phone rang. It was Qiaomu who sent her a WeChat message telling her that he was home.

    Xu Youyou was about to reply to go to bed early when another message came right after.

    Qiao Mu: [Did Lu Shi tell you something? 】

    Xu Youyou pinched her fingers and was struggling with how to reply when news from Qiaomu came in.

    Qiaomu: [I will cheer for the fixed stage competition. 】

    Xu Youyou smiled, and Qiaomu really understood. In fact, the success or failure of the fixed stage competition is not important, but through the fixed stage competition, he can get out of the shadow of childhood.

    YOYO: [Come on. 】

    Qiao Mu: [Actually, you are not very consoling. 】

    “I’m hungry and want to eat stinky tofu.”

    Ms. Ji: “In the middle of the night, fat won’t kill you.”
