chapter 17.. Back home

Chapter 17 ... Back home

Gu Nian didn't know, I had been working hard since the summer vacation, and all the money I earned was deposited into a bank card.

He didn't know that my father's operation was very successful, but after half a year, his condition relapsed. This time, the disease was overwhelming, squeezing out the last trace of his body temperature.

How could Gu Nian know that, he is a pampered son, and he never cares about these things.

So when Gu Nian suddenly became gloomy and hostile to Mu Nanqiao, I wasn't surprised at all. He has always opened his mouth and clothes to reach out for food, whatever he wants.

Occasionally, when he finds that things are out of his control, his strong self-esteem will burn into anger.

I was angry that he actually took me to the underground garage. This defiant attitude makes me tremble with anger how many times I think about it.

"What are you thinking?" Mu Nanqiao's voice was like fog, floating from the side.

I lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling blankly: "It's nothing."

He was silent for a moment and said, "I've moved."

"I know."

"Xiaoge, I've moved, but you can still be like before, let's be together..." He said here, probably out of words, so he stopped talking.

In the dark, I smiled slightly.

What to do together?

We can no longer go to school together, go home together, and buy stationery together. Those times have changed beyond recognition, and they have become mottled and faded, and they have become ugly.

The final exam was over, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. I packed up to go home, still a little sad after seeing the round rice bowl.

Yuanyuan was sent by Mu Nanqiao to the photography club of University B. He said that there, the photographers would take care of Yuanyuan and record Yuanyuan's growth experience with pictures.

He also made a funny little Weibo joke for this, in which the charming and cute Yuanyuan starred in love, which made us laugh back and forth.

Me, Shuangshuang and Calm all retweeted that Weibo, only Lu Yuewei did not. After that incident, Lu Yuewei seemed to have changed her personality and ignored us.

Even in the bedroom, she could study without hearing anything outside the window.

Now that the exam is over, she didn't say hello, she just took the suitcase to catch the train. Calmly couldn't help but say: "Virtue! Do you really think we are all talking to her?"

Half a year of university life has come to an end temporarily, and I feel a little emotional. When I looked back and saw that Shuangshuang had packed many large and small bags, i asked, "How do you get to the train station?"

"Hey, you don't need to send me, the captain will help me with the suitcase." Happiness was on her face. Calmly stunned: "him?"

"The captain was very nice to me, and he said he wanted to invite me to dinner."

Calmly sneered: "Come on, you're healed, the scar forgot to hurt, I won't forget that he's a big liar!"

"Calm down!" Shuangshuang got a little angry, "Don't say that about my boyfriend, okay?"

"He's your boyfriend, but not me. Can I just say a few words?" Calmly rolled her eyes at her, and unhurriedly stuffed a few sweaters into the suitcase.

Shuangshuang was very angry, and went out with a snort, slamming the dormitory door to the sky.

"Why? Shuangshuang loves to listen to good things, calm down and say a few words less." I couldn't help but persuade. After a calm pause,

she said, "I'm a straight person, and I won't say anything when turning a corner."

The atmosphere became cold, and it was useless to talk more, and I felt uncomfortable.

I think when I first arrived at the university, although my roommates were not familiar with each other, they were all of the same age, and they were still friendly to each other.

Why has everything changed after half a year?

Mu Nanqiao texted me: "Xiaoge, when are you going home?"

I lied to him: "I haven't finished the exam yet, you have to review with peace of mind."

He replied: "I see, text me after the test, and we'll go home together."

I watched the text in silence for a minute, then cleared the conversation.

The grudges between me and him have prevented us from going home together. I dug out the train that was leaving in two hours, said goodbye to Calm, and dragged my suitcase out of the slightly deserted dormitory.

I didn't expect to meet Gu Nian at the gate of the school.

He was standing under the bus stop sign, wearing a casual cotton coat, and when he saw me approaching, he stepped forward to help me carry the suitcase. I ducked: "I can carry it."

Gu Nianpi asked without a smile, "Are you still angry?"

My face suddenly burned hotly, I glanced around and replied in a low voice, "I'm going to get in the car, bye."

He didn't speak, just put a coin behind me, followed me into the car, and sat down beside me with no unnatural expression.

I couldn't help it a little: "What do you want to do?"

He turned his head to look at me and said lightly, "Send you to the train station."

There were many classmates on the bus, and I didn't dare to speak to Gu Nian, for fear that any sentence would be the fuse.

After I got to the train station like this, he dropped me off the bus and followed me into the waiting room before saying, "Jiang Geyan, are you really not considering being my girlfriend?"

I looked back at him in surprise. Those who passed by heard this sentence and looked at us with ambiguous and ambiguous eyes.

"Gu Nian, don't say it here." I can't wait to immediately turn into an ostrich and bury my head in the ground. Then he followed me to a slightly remote corner and said, "The person you like is Mu Nanqiao, right?"

I do not speak.

"I read the post on the school's BBS, but I don't know how it was deleted later. If I remember correctly, Mu Nanqiao's father was the one who was in the hospital at that time and gave you money, right?"

I looked up and stared into his eyes: "Gu Nian, what are you trying to say?"

"I'm not threatening you, I just think it's ridiculous." He lost his former condescension and became serious, "I didn't expect that the girl I like would rather like to love her father's enemy than to like the to help her. people!"

"Gu Nian, you still have Tangning!" I said indifferently, "She told me all about it! Since you already have a girlfriend, don't pester me. If you still need the money I owe you, I will pay it back. ."

I took out the bank card from my schoolbag and handed it over: "It's still a lot, but I'll definitely return it to you in installments."

He was stunned on the spot, as a wooden man took the bank card, before he said, "Did Tangning tell you?"

"yes."

"She chased me. At that time, we were both in the student union and knew each other well, but my feelings for her were limited to good feelings. Later I found out that she was very scheming and approached me for my money."

"You actually guessed your girlfriend like that?"

He was a little embarrassed: "Don't you believe it? Let me tell you an example that you have seen with your own eyes. Do you still remember that time when our e-sports club recruited new recruits, Tangning showed her favor to Mu Nanqiao?

Not for anything else, but because of us. In the next semester of junior year, she will be looking for an internship unit! She flattered Mu Nanqiao,

didn't she see that Professor Mu has a wide network of contacts and can find a good unit?" Gu Nian's eyes showed a bit of confusion, "You know, you and Tangning are completely different. different girls."

"What's the difference?"

"The first time I saw you in the hospital, when you threw the money down the window, I will never forget that scene." A smile appeared on Gu Nian's face,

"I can see from your eyes that you have nothing to fear. , I am not afraid of the sky and the earth. It was at that time that I decided to come forward to help you, I want you to change from nothing, and I want to fill in the colors in your eyes. "

I was stunned. I didn't expect that the reason he helped me at that time was actually this.

"And Tangning has too much desire in her eyes. She climbed up step by step with her beauty and talent, and she was just taking advantage of me." Gu Nian took a step forward, "You are different from her, I now realize that, I really like you."

There was another danger signal in my heart, and I couldn't help but take a few steps back: "Gu Nian, you are fine, but..."

"But what?" he demanded.

My palms were slightly sweaty, I took out a tissue to wipe the sweat in embarrassment, and looked around for the trash can. He stepped forward to block me from leaving: "But what?"

I simply looked him in the eyes: "but I like Mu Nanqiao."

He was stunned.

The flow of people around has become the scenery, and the noise has become far away. Only this sentence becomes more and more clear in my heart - I like Mu Nanqiao.

Even if he doesn't like me, even if he just thinks I'm a rabbit in the lab, I recognize it.

There has never been a shortage of so-called love bibles in this world. Everyone understands the truth of happiness when two hearts are in harmony, and no one wants to pay their sincerity in vain.

No one is a fool, but once you fall in love with someone, no matter what he is calm and self-contained, he will forget about it.

As long as you fall in love, a few words from that person, a little movement between the eyebrows and eyes, can instantly make you go up to the ground, instantly bright and instantly hazy.

I love Namjoon since a very young age. After so many years, love has become a habit, even if I deliberately control my mood, it is impossible to immediately let go of my heart.

Gu Nian took a deep breath and smiled at himself: "I don't feel wrong, you really... as expected..." He couldn't continue, he turned his head and walked out. In the crowd, his back was filled with anger and disappointment, which was so dazzling and piercing.

I stared blankly at his back, only to feel that the sun shining into the hall was desolate and desolate.

Taking the train back to my hometown, I stopped a taxi and went back to the community. As soon as I walked into the stairs, I saw a large group of people around the door.

I was stunned, could something happen?

"You're on the sixth floor, right? There's something wrong with your house, go up and take a look." A middle-aged man who looked like a property owner said to me.

My scalp went numb, and I got on the elevator in three steps. When the door opened, I yelled, "Mom! Mom! Where are you?"

Aunt Zeng next door came out of the room and hurriedly silenced me: "Girl, what are you shouting, your mother finally fell asleep."

"What happened to my mother?"

She closed the door and dragged me to the living room: "your mother has depression, she was going to jump off the building yesterday, but fortunately we persuaded her to come down!

It happened again just now, but fortunately I was by her side. Your mother is now a step away. No one is open, alas!"

depression?

I was dumbfounded: "Why did she jump off the building?"

"Your mother has suffered so much over the years. She had hallucinations yesterday and thought that the other side of the balcony was a flat field, so she walked over.

If I hadn't happened to see her..." Aunt Zeng wiped the corners of her eyes, "Yesterday I already went to the hospital and got prescribed medicine, and now your mother has finally fallen asleep, and when she wake up, you can comfort her."

I nodded numbly.

Aunt Zeng left, I put down my luggage and started to clean up the room. First the sofa, then the floor, the study... When I saw a pen on the table, the corners of my eyes suddenly became sour.

That's Dad's.

Now my mother must learn to forget, and can no longer see things hurt. I picked up the pen, along with the rest of Dad's belongings, packed it bit by bit into a large cardboard box, and sealed it with thick tape.

It would be great if sadness could be packed into a cardboard box so easily.

After all this was done, the sun was twilight, reflecting the dust flying randomly in the window. I went into the kitchen and started cooking porridge.

After a while, there was a slight noise in the bedroom. I ran over and saw that my mother was sitting up in bed.

She has been slow to respond a lot now, and her eyes stopped for two or three seconds before she said hesitantly, "Xiaoge, are you back?"

"I'm back." I walked over and held her hand. "Mom, you have a good rest. I'll take you out for a walk in a few days."

The joy on her face disappeared in a flash, and it was replaced by endless sorrow: "This room is empty, and I haven't bought any New Year's goods..."

"I can go shopping for New Year's goods, make dumplings, I can do anything." I quickly enlightened her, "I'll ask Aunt Zeng to accompany you more, okay?"

Depressed patients are most afraid of not having drugs, but loneliness and abandonment. Maybe one more person around to talk to her will be more effective than taking medicine and giving injections.

For the next three days, my mother took her medicine on time every day and went out to relax with me.

Aunt Zeng participated in the group dance in the park near the community, and also took my mother to dance together.

Mom refused, but she didn't go away, watching the women dancing beside her, sometimes with a faint smile on her face.

The New Year is approaching, and the New Year is full of flavor, and every household is putting up Spring Festival couplets.

I took my mother to the New Year's goods booth in the supermarket: "Mom, which couplet do you think is better? How many pairs are better to buy?"

Mom flipped through the printed Spring Festival couplets and suddenly said, "Your phone is ringing."

I was silent for a while, and then I heard the phone ringing in my bag, and quickly dug out the phone to answer: "Hello?"

"Is it Jiang Geyan?" The other party's voice was very unfamiliar, with a sense of business. I replied: "I am, who are you?"

After listening to the phone, I put down the phone in a daze, and my fingers were almost numb. If it weren't for the thought that my mother was still beside me, I almost wanted to squat on the ground and cry.
