Cloudside Café - Chapter 18
It is indeed very energy-consuming to check and monitor. The longer the time, the faster Xia Zhi’s patience will be consumed. The worries at the beginning gradually turned into irritability, and she finally couldn’t bear it, frowning and cursing: “I don’t worry about it when I’m so old, I’ll know how to mess around every day!”
Yun Xian didn’t have the extra strength to deal with her, but stared at the screen, trying to find a familiar figure from the crowd.
Yun Hao has always been sensible and well-behaved, has the ability to take care of himself, and is very familiar with the surrounding environment. Because of this, Yun Xian is even more worried, because no one knows where he will go, what he will do, and what his current state of mind is.
After nearly an hour passed, Yun Xian took off his glasses and rubbed the reddish end of his eyes. Jiang Ying digs out a bottle of eye drops from his bag and hands it to him.
Yunxian took the small black bottle and asked her softly, “Are you tired?”
Jiang Ying shook his head. His body was exhausted. He had not slept all night and the rush between the two cities had exhausted his energy early, but his spirit was tense and he dared not relax.
Xia Zhi answered a few calls midway. She was the grade director and brought another key class with a lot of things to deal with.
Jiang Ying got up and poured a glass of water, smiled at her, and put the paper cup by her hand.
Xia Zhi had been busy for a day, and just had no time to take care of others. She pulled Jiang Ying over, and said guiltily, “I’m really sorry today, letting you come with me all the way.”
Jiang Ying smiled and shook his head.
Xia Zhi’s cell phone rang again. Seeing that it was Yun Mao’s head teacher, she hurriedly picked it up.
“Hey, Teacher Tao……. Back to school? That’s fine, that’s fine, we’ll come over right away.”
Yunxian heard it too, he was relieved, got up and said to the policeman behind him: “I’m sorry, it’s a waste of your time.”
The policeman waved his hand: “Your job, your job, go back and communicate with your children!”
Yun Xian responded again and again, and walked out in strides.
Jiang Ying and Xia Zhi followed him and hurried back to school.
In the office, Yun Mao, who had been missing for a day, was sitting on the solo sofa with his head bowed.
Yun Xian walked to the door and stopped, taking a couple of breaths to calm his breath.
Seeing that the parents are coming, Teacher Tao took the initiative to get up and leave room for them: “The child also admitted to me that he was wrong. If there is anything to communicate, Yun Mao has always been excellent.”
Yun Xian nodded: “Thank you, teacher.”
Standing behind Yun Xian, Jiang Ying was a little confused about his thoughts. He was wondering how to stop him if he started fighting. When he saw him step forward, he put his hand on the boy’s head and pressed it down, and asked in a low voice, “Yes. No food? Are you hungry?”
Yun Hao seemed to be surprised too, and shook his head blankly. The school uniform T-shirt was loose, and it looked empty on the boy’s thin body. His facial features are similar to those of Yun Xian, but he is more youthful and tender. He probably knows that he has caused trouble, and now he is sitting obediently, as if waiting for his hair to fall.
“Let’s go home today. I won’t be able to study in the evening. I’ll help you and the teacher ask for leave.” Yunxian took his schoolbag and held it in his hand, and even said jokingly: “I ran away from home and brought so many books. It’s not overwhelming.”
Yun Jiao blushed when he said that, he was not sure whether his brother was stabbing him in an ironic way.
Xia Zhi stood aside and finally said: “You take him back first, I have two evenings to study.” After speaking, she turned around and went out without turning her head back.
Jiang Ying secretly raised a sigh, this family is really unpredictable.
On the way back, Jiang Ying thought Yunxian would be able to cross-examine them, but he didn’t say anything except to ask them if they wanted to eat or whether the beef noodles would work.
It is estimated that it was the first time that Yun Hao did a bad thing, and he was ready to be severely criticized. As a result, no one scolded him, which made him even more panicked.
He glanced cautiously at Yun Xian, who was opening a certain food delivery app to carefully select.
“Brother, don’t you have anything to scold me?”
Jiang Ying couldn’t hold back it, and laughed out loud, “You hope he scolds you.”
Yun Xian also felt funny, and squeezed his cheek: “Yes, I dared to play truant, and finally ran back to school. Are you afraid?”
Yun Hao grinned and covered half of his face, muttering, “I didn’t want to play truant.”
“Then what do you want to do? The world is so big, you want to see it?”
“I just don’t want to go to school.” Yun Mao’s voice became smaller and smaller.
“I don’t feel whether the exam is good or not, the homework is right or not, I don’t feel it anymore. Teacher Tao told me that the exam will be finished in half a month. It’s the same for a year, a half month, or tomorrow. I’m numb. I can’t listen to the class. I feel sick when I see the test paper. I don’t know what I’m going to do. Sitting in the classroom just feels painful. I think I want Suffocated to death.”
After speaking, Yun Mao leaned his head on the window and stared at the buildings passing by outside in a daze. After a while, he said: “Brother, do you think I’m hypocritical? But I’m really uncomfortable.”
Yun Xian’s hand was clenched into a fist, then released again after a while, and patted Yun Xian’s shoulder.
How can he comfort his brother?
Tell him that the future is still long, isn’t it all that much?
But Yun Xian turned around and looked at him for thirty years, only to see the long pain.
His parents divorced when his younger brother was two years old, and there is no memory of a complete family in his mind.
But Yun Xian did, he witnessed the breakdown of a harmonious and happy home.
When his parents quarreled, he could always hear the sentence “What did I sacrifice for this family”, as if his existence with his younger brother was constantly depriving them of happiness and light.
He bored his head to study, bored his head to work, and bored his head to live.
Why resign and why leave Beijing.
It was because one day he found out that he had no emotions anymore.
He suffered from insomnia all night and all night, and it was difficult to fall asleep over and over again.
In the half-dream and half-awake state, Yun Xian always sees herself trapped on the bottom of the sea, her body falling infinitely, she can’t see the sun, and can’t smell the fresh air.
He was dying, his blood was stagnant, and his pulse was faintly beating to maintain the last trace of anger.
If a person feels pain even to breathe, how can he survive?
“Life is really hard, day after day, you always have things to worry about. However, no matter whether tomorrow is sunny or rainy, tomorrow will always be something you can look forward to.” The branches outside the window hurriedly passed by, and the sunset was reflected. On Jiang Ying’s cheeks, it is clear or ambiguous. Her voice was gentle and peaceful, like the evening breeze of early summer, wrapped in the sweetness of cherries, gently brushing past pedestrians after a busy day.
“I added a week’s class, and it has been almost 30 hours without sleep, but when I think that there will be a bowl of warm beef noodles later, I feel so happy.”
“You see, happiness is actually very simple. As for those painful and bad memories, you will find them when they pass, but they are all talks.”
When Jiang Ying finished talking and turned around, he found that the two brothers were staring at her intently.
She coughed awkwardly, turned around and avoided the eyes of the two of them: “What’s the matter, is the chicken soup so tired of you?”
Yun Hao shook his head quickly: “No no, thank you, I know what you said.”
Even the driver who was silent all the way couldn’t help giving her a thumbs up: “Little girl, what you said is really good!”
Yun Xian smiled, turned his gaze to Yun Yu, and asked everyone what they were worried about the whole day: “Where did everyone go today?”
Jiang Ying hurriedly agreed: “Yes, yes, where did you go shopping today? Do you have any good food?”
Yun Haoyan summed up his truant day in a brief and concise way: “I picked a bus at random and went around half a circle. I met a second-hand bookstore on the road and read the unfinished three-body bookstore.”
Yun Xian remembered that after the mobile phone was gone, Yun Hao had borrowed a classmate’s “Three-Body” to watch. Once he didn’t pay attention to the time and saw two o’clock in the night. After being found out by his mother, he checked the room thoroughly the next day. Things that are irrelevant to learning are sorted out.
That time Yun Xian was scolded too, and his mother warned him not to cover him and not to indulge him.
It is estimated that this kid is also quite uncomfortable in his heart, just a few chapters before finishing, it is not easy to hold back for more than half a year.
Yunxian asked him, “How is the ending?”
“I don’t know.” Yun Mao lowered his head, unexpectedly frustrated, “I don’t know why, I am always distracted when I look at it, thinking about which test paper others have done now, and reviewing the first unit. I finally forced myself to finish reading it. When I closed the book, I found that I hadn’t remembered anything.”
“So finally back to school?”
Yun Qi smiled wryly: “It’s a bit embarrassing to say that, the moment I saw the school sign, I felt more at ease than ever before.”
Yun Xian sighed and hated that iron can’t become steel. “So you are embarrassed. It’s the first time I saw a deserter come back.”
Jiang Ying immediately glared at Yun Xian and motioned to him to shut up. He turned his head and smiled and said to Yun Mao, “What is the matter of scholars is evasion? Let’s save a file and fight in the future. Besides, it is not shameful to evade. Ah, I love to escape.”
Yun Xian chuckled, “You will comfort others.”
Jiang Ying glared at him again, the latter pursed his lips and motioned to shut up, and gestured at her to please continue.
Jiang Ying adjusted and continued: “But it’s true that evasion can’t solve the problem. You can isolate yourself for a short time and think about what to do, or simply distract and adjust your mood. When you adjust, it’s time. Face it or face it.”
After Jiang Ying’s encouragement, it is Yunxian’s turn to educate. He put on a somewhat elder brother’s posture and said sternly: “Brother doesn’t scold you, because he knows you have worked hard and understands the truth. But you did do it today. No, let everyone worry about you for a day.”
Yun Qi admits his mistake obediently: “I see, I’m wrong.”
Seeing his sincere attitude, Yunxian nodded in satisfaction and asked, “Do you regret it now?”
Yun Hao replied without hesitation: “I don’t regret it, at least when I take the first step, I feel relieved.”
“The college entrance examination is nothing terrible. Haven’t you done well all the time?” Yunxian had just reached his destination when he finished speaking.
It had already passed five o’clock, and the early summer sun was still dazzling. It rained two days ago, but the air today is clean, and the sky is blue with white clouds floating.
Yun Mao finally showed his first smile today, and his eyes reappeared, as if he had relieved the pressure on his body, and he really went into battle with light: “I see, so many tests have been taken, and it is not bad. This last one!”
As the atmosphere gradually became more enthusiastic, Jiang Ying raised his hand silently: “It’s not that I want to kill the scenery. There are more horrible exams in college.”
Innocent high school student Yunmao opened his innocent eyes and asked a question that made the two of them laugh and not speak: “Isn’t university for fun?”
Still don’t scare the candidates, Yun Xian passed the schoolbag and the house key in his hand: “You go up first. The takeaway is probably coming soon. If you are hungry, eat first.”
Yun Mao asked, “Where are you going?”
“Take your sister Jiang to buy some daily necessities. She will stay at home tonight.”
When Yunmao got upstairs, Jiang Yingcai realized something later and suddenly wanted to stay at someone’s house. She was embarrassed: “Actually, I can also go to a hotel.”
Yunxian looked down at her, “What are you shy about?”
Jiang Ying opened his eyes wide and raised his voice to bluff: “Where am I?”
Yun Xian pointed to himself, and then to Yun Shou who was going upstairs: “You sleep in my room, and I sleep in Xiao Shou’s house. It is convenient to stay at home and go to the airport tomorrow morning.”
“Oh, that’s it.” Jiang Ying nodded and walked away to hide his guilty conscience. Before he took a step, Yun Xian grabbed his wrist and pulled him back.
“What’s wrong? Don’t you want to go to the supermarket?”
“Do things first.”
As soon as the voice fell, Yunxian held her wrist and walked into the corridor.
The sun is slanting west, the timing lights have not yet arrived, the corridor is dark and dim, and there is no one in it. Any subtle sound is amplified and clear to the ears.
Jiang Ying was nudged by Yun Xian and pressed her back against the concrete wall.
A small roughness rubbed her back, and she moved uncomfortably, but the other party saw it as a tendency to escape.
Perhaps it is the side that Yun Xian has always shown is gentle and unprepared, so when he holds Jiang Ying’s two wrists with one hand and presses it over his head, the other hand embraces her waist and leans forward to kiss When he went down, Jiang Ying’s heart was hanging in the air, feeling unprecedented tension.
The author has something to say: it’s almost over.
