Her Little Dimples - Chapter 61
When I woke up, there was no sound around. The lamp on the bedside table is always on.
He turned his head uneasily, his eyes opened slowly, and the front was blurred. He had a splitting headache, lifted the quilt covering his body with a tired expression, stepped on the floor with bare feet, and opened the door of the room.
The living room was quiet and empty. A plastic bag containing a large bag of medicine is placed on the shoe cabinet at will.
He will be in a daze. Sitting on the sofa, took the lighter and cigarette case.
–
The key was inserted into the keyhole and turned to make a slight noise.
Xu You’s eyes drooped and put the key aside. She carried the rice and vegetables bought in the supermarket, put on slippers and entered the house.
The chandelier above the head was turned on casually. The light fell on her clean face, white and clear.
Xu You is still wearing the clothes that go to work. The white shirt and gray one-step skirt show a nice calf, thin and white like lotus root. Without the youthfulness of a girl, there is a different charm.
The thank-you speech was shocked. Seeing too intently, his eyes move with her.
Xu You didn’t seem to see him smoking in the living room, and went straight into the kitchen.
Thanks, quickly pinched out the smoke, stood up and chased after him. But he didn’t dare to go in, so he hesitantly asked at the door: “You… why are you back again?”
She lowered her head to work, and ignored him.
Slowly, the thank you words became more courageous and approached Xu You little by little. Peep at her from time to time.
Did not stand too close.
Xu You’s fingers are slender, choosing vegetables and washing rice, the blue blood vessels on the back of his hands are clearly visible through the white skin. Bend down and took out the bowl, and raised his arm to press on the range hood. She made every move, her thankful eyes couldn’t blink.
The two remained silent for a long time, and the words of thanks remained motionless.
Xu You turned his head, looked into his eyes and asked, “What are you doing here?”
“what?”
The thank-you speech was stared at by her suddenly, without passing through her brain, she blurted out: “I’ll help you.”
“……”
“Go outside and take the medicine.”
She put aside her eyes, skillfully beat an egg, turned on the fire, and threw the washed vegetables into the pot and fry.
After speaking, he did not continue to look at him.
The dinner table was extremely quiet.
Xie Cian ate the freshly cooked vegetable porridge and buried his head in the bowl, wondering why he was nervous.
Xu You sat opposite, saying nothing, not knowing what he was thinking.
“…You, do you want to eat it?”
She only made a portion of porridge and gave it to him.
“you eat.”
Xu You sat on the chair and said for a while, “I have something to tell you after I have finished eating.”
“……”
There was no words for a while, and there were not enough topics between them. It used to be, and it is now.
He finished eating slowly, until the bowl reached the bottom, he reluctantly put down the spoon.
Thank you, I just took the anti-fever medicine. I don’t know if it has any effect, my cheeks are still flushed.
“Report Teacher Xu, I’m finished.”
A smile of thanks makes his face lively.
Xu You looked at him for a long time and didn’t say anything.
He was not happy for a long time, when she heard her whisper, “Tell me about your past few years.”
“…” The arc of the corners of the mouth was slightly raised and froze.
Xu You looked at his expression without blinking.
“I told you everything, I had a problem with my hands at that time, so I dropped out of school.” He mentioned the previous incident and smiled indifferently. But his eyes lowered.
Xu You nodded, “Then.”
“…What then.”
“After you dropped out of school.” She was so reluctant for the first time.
“…”
“There will be no more.”
The words of thanks wilted, and then there was silence.
There was a long silence between each other.
Under Xu You’s calm surface, waves finally appeared.
The legs of the wooden chair rubbed on the ground, making a harsh Torah.
Hearing the sound of thanks, he looked up. Xu You got up with a tired face, pushed away the chair, and prepared to walk.
He didn’t know how, his heart sank.
It seemed to be back to the hospital many years ago, watching her straight back walk away, and finally disappeared.
I don’t know why there is a hunch, she’s gone this time, she really won’t be back…
Thanks, he panicked, and hurriedly stepped forward, “Wait, don’t go.”
This time, Xu You didn’t let him hold his wrist. When she raised her arm, she was only half a metre away from him.
In recent years, her skin has become whiter and her chin has become thinner.
Xu You was still in a disappointed mood, she shook her head.
“Thank you, I will give you one last chance.”
She gritted her teeth and slowly, almost word by word, telling him clearly.
“I want you, myself, personally, to tell me what happened to you in the past few years, and why you left me in the first place, and even when you approached me in the past few years, you never came to me.”
“…”
The faucet in the kitchen seemed to be unclosed, and the ticking sound was endless.
“Xu Yo.” He said with difficulty, “I…”
At this point, Xu You didn’t know where such a strong emotion came from, and didn’t want to pursue it.
She knew what she wanted, so she indulged him and herself again and again.
But Xu You has a bottom line.
So she has to figure it out, she doesn’t want to be unclear.
“Thank you, I am a dedicated and persistent person, but it doesn’t mean I can’t let go of anything.”
The corners of Xu You’s mouth tightened, but her eyelashes began to wet, “I don’t want to know everything about you before from others.”
So, can you be brave once.
She thought to herself.
I really can’t support it anymore.
Until now, Xu You discovered that she might not have gone out for so many years. Still spinning around in place.
She kept reminding herself, don’t look, don’t think.
However, he saw that he was burning at home and was about to die of illness, but there was no one around him to take care of him.
Seeing him no matter how strong a smile was, he couldn’t hide his decadence.
Xu You began to think that it was all wrong to let the resignation make his own decision, and everything was wrong.
“Thanks.”
Almost at the moment when Xu You spoke, she looked at her face and finally made up her mind.
“——Xu You, I have worked hard.”
“…”
She stopped talking.
—
What happened before was similar to what Song Yifan said.
Later, she thanked her for resignation and was discharged from the hospital.
Knowing that his hand was crippled was a big blow to him when he was still young. Coupled with the breakup with Xu You, it is beyond the scope of the thank you speech.
At that time, he even thought about it all.
There was basically no difference between day and night, and there was no dripping for two days.
Until Xie Tianyun picked him up from the bed.
The relationship between father and son has not been very good. Because Xie Tianyun was busy with business when he was a child, and didn’t have time to deal with the resignation. Later, when he divorced with Xie Ci’s biological mother, the business became bigger and bigger and there was no time to deal with the resignation.
Lack of family love in childhood, Xie Tianyun consciously owed his son a lot, and tried to make up for it materially. However, he refused to communicate with him, and the gap between father and son was getting bigger and bigger.
Thank you for being too rebellious in adolescence, smoking, drinking, fighting and picking up girls, as long as you are able to anger to thank Tianyun, you have to do all the thank you.
After finally waiting to thank the resignation of his sophomore year, Xie Tianyun was called to the school’s academic affairs office. He saw the girl for the first time, her eyes were firm, and she guarded her thanks. Xie Tianyun knew the relationship between the two at a glance. Who knows what his son thinks better than him.
As expected by Xie Tianyun, the change was visible to the naked eye after the resignation.
It didn’t take long for the thank-you resignation to happen again. Zeng Qilin told him about things, including breaking up with Xu You. Xie Tianyun also came from this age, so he naturally knew what the thank-you speech looked like and what he was thinking.
“——Thanks, I say you are ignorant, I say you are stupid!”
Xie Tianyun shook his head, hating iron and steel, and said to him, “If one hand is scrapped, you will be scrapped. No wonder others look down on you.”
The thank you words were poked into the sore spot, eyes were red with excitement, “You fart.”
“Xu Yo she… she… me.” Thanks in an incoherent speech, but she couldn’t say anything.
Xie Tianyun slapped him with great force.
“Anything can easily knock you down. You don’t have a future for yourself. How can you give others a future?! Thank you. You are 18 years old. As a man, you should know what you should do. Just like you eat, drink and play every day. Attitude, even if you don’t waste your hands, how long can you last out with the money I gave in the future?! How long can you go with that girl?! This time you went to fight, you also asked for it, everything is destined Yes! I think there is a problem with the right hand this time, which is still a good thing to make you sober!”
“You are luckier than others. I made money because of your old man. I am just your son, and all the money will be yours in the future. But if you are so cowardly, don’t delay any of you, just wait for death at home like this!”
How long does it take for a boy to grow up from a man?
Maybe for a lifetime.
Maybe it only takes a while.
From that day on, thank you for resignation and insisted on going to the hospital for rehabilitation.
In fact, many people feel that if their hands are broken, they have no hope and are disabled. In fact, this is not the case at all. As long as you keep exercising every day and apply hot compresses, your hands are likely to gradually get better.
He had broken a few hand muscles, none of which was the main nerve, plus the timely connection, so he barely recovered well.
After removing the cast, thank you for insisting on lifting dumbbells and doing push-ups every day.
Every time the bones hurt, the pain makes the heart tighten. But as long as he thought of Xu You’s disappointed eyes when he left, he would grit his teeth and persist.
When I first started writing with a pen, it was difficult to write a single word because it was painful and trembling badly.
Later, I can write a hundred words.
Seeing his appearance, Xie Tianyun has silently helped him complete the enrollment procedures. However, because of the operation just completed, the recovery was not complete. Thanks for resignation, I still took a year off from school to take care of my body at home.
Once Song Yifan came to thank him for looking for him at his home. Song Yifan sat in a chair and suddenly talked about Xu You.
He pondered for a while before he said, “I ran into Xu You the other day.”
“……”
Nodded in thanks, eyes drooping. But Song Yifan knew that his heart was far less calm than on the surface.
“Xu You’s grades are very good now, and I haven’t talked to others.” Song Yifan smiled, “She also asked me if you are doing well.”
After a moment of thanks, he finally couldn’t help but ask, “What did you say?!”
“I said you are pretty good now, so she doesn’t have to worry about it. After all, she has such good grades, so don’t delay it.
The thank you words first nodded, thought for a while and then spoke, “Then, what else did you say about me?”
Seeing him look anxious, Song Yifan punched him, “Fuck, I’m so excited, I didn’t say anything, I left for class.”
“Don’t tell her about me first, wait until I’m better. Don’t affect Xu You’s study,” thanked her.
Song Yifan sneered, “I know.”
Before leaving, he was still worried and told him, “If someone at school bullied Xu You, don’t just look at him, remember to get it back for me, or come to me.”
Thank you with a cruel expression.
Song Yifan laughed, “Who dares to bully you, you are a small overlord.”
“Fuck you. Mom, get out.” Xie Ci smiled and cursed.
The day Xu You finished the college entrance examination was also the day when he returned to school.
He arrived in the new class, very low-key, always on the table with a stack of new books.
Even the classmates in the class were surprised. Such a handsome boy turned out to be a nerd.
No one would have thought that he was the famous thank-you note from No. 1 Middle School.
After the college entrance examination results came out, the first high school celebrated all over the world. Xu You became the city’s number one scholar in science.
Xie Ci secretly skipped the day’s class and ran to watch the graduation ceremony of that class. Many people knew him along the way and greeted him. He turned a deaf ear to the thanks and kept looking at her standing on the flag-raising platform.
Two months of summer vacation passed in a flash.
Thanks to the resignation that Xu You went to a university in the south, but did not go to Tsinghua University or Peking University.
Occasionally he would think of her, and it would last for half an hour in a daze.
Every time I have a monthly vacation, I will book a plane ticket to fly to Xu You’s city. Then stood at the gate of the school, secretly mixing in the crowd, hoping to see her. Sometimes if you are lucky, you can see her. Sometimes it’s bad luck, and I can’t touch it by standing there for a few hours.
Thanks for the inconvenience of the right hand, I started to practice writing with the left hand. The tablemate always thought he was left-handed.
He has a good mind, although it is basically zero foundation. However, in the third year of high school, starting from the most basic learning, to the unified examination in April of the second year, the thank you speech crossed the line drawn in the city for the first time.
Hupengou friends around came back to see him, and everyone was very happy. When eating and drinking, they are all blowing, and one of them will soon be a student.
Li Jieyi drank too much, and said with a big tongue: “When we Xie Shao enter the university in the future, we must call back all the people from the first middle school and book a hotel for three days and three nights!”
Everyone was laughing, and even the thank you words felt that the light was right in front of them.
Xie Tianyun had an accident on June 6.
The night before the college entrance examination, there was a car accident on the way to the airport. The driver died on the spot, and Xie Tianyun was sent to the hospital for rescue.
The hospital directly contacted the resignation. At that time, he was still studying on the last night of school.
Thanksgiving rushed all the way, his mind was blank, and the forehead kept sweating.
Finally, when he arrived at the hospital, someone saw him looking desperate and walked over and said, “You are Xie Tianyun’s son. He was in the emergency room No. 1. He had just had a serious car accident and is now being rescued.”
Everything around is muted.
Quick and confused footsteps passed in front of him. Thanks to sit on the ground without force, the chaotic thoughts kept mixing together. The woman Xie Tianyun had just looked for also arrived.
Just after hearing a sentence or two, I felt too emotional and passed out. There was another rush, screaming and crying incessantly. Thanks to his expressionless face, he stayed at the door of the emergency room.
Until two o’clock in the morning, the lights in the operating room went out. The door opened and the doctor took off his mask and walked out.
“Oh, go sign something and contact the funeral home.” Someone came over to talk to him.
After a long time.
It was only when thanking him that he wanted to cry. It was the first time he tried to lose the taste of a loved one. That feeling will never be forgotten.
The white cloth was lifted, revealing Xie Tianyun’s long dead face. His body was wiped clean, and he had already lost its temperature and became stiff.
“–dad.”
Thanks to his knees on the ground, sobbing and weeping.
Later, he couldn’t hold it, and locked himself at home for two months.
Xie Tianyun left a lot of property, but because of the accident of his death, there was no time to make a will. The relatives found a lawyer for their resignation and went to court with the mistress at the time.
But he couldn’t do business, so thanked his uncle for resignation and took over the business.
Xie Dongbo said to Xie Ci at the time: “Uncle helps you manage the company, but the company has always been yours. Even if you have no skills in the future, your uncle will support your father for the rest of your life.”
No matter how big the accident happens, life still has to go on.
This time, it took a long time to accept this reality. In the first two years, there is actually not much memory of the thanks. He didn’t go to university, so Xie Dongbo sent him to learn how to modify and load a car.
He is amazingly talented in this area, and he always has the most accurate ability to judge the performance of ordinary cars.
Then, Xie Dongbo gave him money to set up a car repair shop, and used the relationship to get them to cooperate with many supercar clubs.
Thanks for making money on your own, you also have new friends, and even a new life. But he was no longer angry, and he was getting more and more depressed.
It was two years later to walk out of the shadow of losing a loved one and open a car repair factory in Shencheng.
Thanks for resigning, I still can’t control myself to find Xu You. Affectionate is always unconscious. When he found out, Xu You was already farther and farther away from him.
After another year, I wanted to go to Xu You as soon as I thanked her. Anyway, it would be okay to chase her again. He held the math papers Xu You left him at the time, as well as the results of his unified exam in April.
He kept all of these, hidden in a place where no one would find it.
That day, their school seemed to be a school celebration. There were a lot of people on the road, and the campus was extremely lively.
Thank you for not knowing how to inquire about Xu You, just grab someone and ask, “Do you know Xu You?”
He had a lot of things to say in his heart.
When he walked to a national flag square, someone finally told him, “Xu Yo, please clean up the venue over there.”
The words of thanks followed the direction he was pointing, and passed over with joy.
About ten meters away, I finally saw the person I was thinking about day and night. She turned her back to him, lowered her head, bent over and held a broom to clean.
Thanks again and again in the same place, hesitated several times. When he wanted to go up, he saw a boy next to him with a wet tissue, he handed it over, and by the way, he lifted a bottle of water on the table to unscrew it and handed it to Xu You. The boy had a gentle smile on his face, and he didn’t know what to say in Xu You’s ear.
The two talked and laughed, and they looked very good.
Xu You’s expression could not be seen in the thanks, but it didn’t matter.
He didn’t think it mattered anymore.
Too.
I don’t know what I have been dreaming about for so long. Xu You had been better for a long time, and his resignation was nothing. She is so good that she didn’t like him in high school, and she stalked herself by thanking her. What’s more, now he is just a mechanic who dropped out of high school, Xu You probably despise him even more.
There is a trash can next to it. Thanks for throwing in the results of the April exam.
When it’s that math paper.
Thanks to the hand of the resignation, after all, it was still not cruel. Turned around and left their school.
Things were thrown away.
That time was also the closest he was to Xu You.
Thanks for resigning in recent years, I have tried to forget her.
But there is no way. I don’t know what the magic is, I just can’t forget it. Obviously, I had decided not to go to her at that time, and it didn’t take long for him to stop and visit her secretly. The more I look at it, the more I can’t forget it.
The only thing that can be controlled by the thanks is not to appear in front of her and try not to disturb her life.
Until that day she appeared in her own garage.
At that moment, he even thought he had a dream.
Sanity is like it doesn’t exist anymore. He was really unwilling to just hide.
As soon as he met the person who was thinking about it, the person who could only hide and peek in the dark suddenly appeared in front of him. It feels like an addiction.
Reason is always unable to control the body.
—
When I said all this, I didn’t dare to look at Xu You’s expression.
He had a fever and was still stuck in his memories, still a little at a loss, “I thought I could go to you if I study hard.”
“Xu Yo… I’m sorry.”
“I still didn’t look for you later, I didn’t know you would be so sad too.”
Thanks to the words: “Xu You, I have worked hard, but the score table has been lost by me…”
He actually worked hard.
and so.
Since I like it, why does the opportunity come and stop working hard again.
“Don’t be disappointed with me. I said before that I want to be your friend, but I haven’t finished talking yet. I want to be your boyfriend and girlfriend.”
Thanks for remarks, plucked up the courage and raised his head.
I found Xu You looking at him quietly.
Tears have already burst into tears.
