Return To 1998

Xu Tonglin was incapable of drinking, and slowly fell on the bed to sleep as the wine became stronger. Although Xu Tongdao's head was dizzy, he didn't want to sleep, and it was still early, and it wasn't long before night fell.

It was raining lightly outside the window again, but this long night, Xu Tongdao suddenly wanted to go out for a walk.

After all, he is not a pure 17-year-old boy. On weekdays, he is fine. After drinking some wine like today, some thoughts are always surging in his heart, which makes him feel a little bored.

He got up and put on his rubber boots, took his umbrella and went out the door.

I walked out of the courtyard, walked through the dimly lit alley, came to the side of the road under the plane tree, looked across the street and talked about a few stalls tonight, even if it rained, there are still a few stalls there, some Use large umbrellas to keep out the rain, and some temporarily build a small shed with oilcloth...

But even so, because of the rain, there were very few pedestrians on the streets tonight, and few people went to eat roadside stalls.

Most of the sparse pedestrians also walked into the dance halls and hair salons on this side of the road.

Standing under the sycamore tree, Tongdao Xu looked at these, not knowing where to go for a while.

I just feel very lonely in my heart, the original world... He can never go back, and now in this world, some secrets in his heart can't be told to anyone.

Some secrets, he must rot in the bottom of his heart, and he can't mention it to anyone in his life.

In fact, he knows his own heart and has been alone for many years.

Before I was reborn, I was alone for many years.

Since his father disappeared, he has gradually become accustomed to taking everything by himself, keeping it in his heart, not telling anyone, and not bothering his mother, who is already very hard.

After getting married, he never entered the heart of that woman, and the woman never entered his heart. He still remembered one time when they were arguing, the woman said to him: If you were not honest, you would Think I'll marry you? Do you think I like you?

In the years when we were husband and wife, Xu Tongdao didn't believe a lot of things she said, but the words she blurted out when arguing...he believed them.

Since then, he has learned to be conscious in front of her, conscious of not taking himself seriously, consciously not expecting her to be good to him, and expecting less from her, he will be less disappointed.

...

As the past events of the past came to mind, Tongdao Xu lowered his head slightly, laughed at himself, and suddenly raised his feet and walked towards Aunt Wang's newsstand opposite.

Aunt Wang, get me a pack of cigarettes and a lighter!

Walking to the newsstand, Tongdao Xu bowed his head and took out the money as he spoke.

Aunt Wang was surprised, Huh? Xiao Xu, when did you smoke?

Tongdao Xu smiled and handed over five yuan, Just for fun, Auntie Wang, just get me the red plum.

Ah, good! Xiao Xu, you are still young, it's better to smoke less cigarettes.

Aunt Wang persuaded, but still handed over a pack of cigarettes and a lighter.

Xu Tongdao smiled.

When he turned to leave, Aunt Wang suddenly stopped him, Oh, yes, Xiao Xu! You're not setting up a stall tonight, are you?

Xu Tongdao was puzzled, but nodded.

Auntie Wang laughed and asked again, Then do you have time now? Auntie wants to trouble you with something.

Tongdao Xu opened the seal of the cigarette in his hand, and asked with a smile: What do you say, don't be polite to me!

Aunt Wang: Hehe, that's it, when your sister Yali came over for dinner tonight, you told me that when it was raining and windy today, a branch was broken by the wind and fell on the roof of her house, as if I smashed a few tiles, um... Now, the roof of her second floor leaked rain, which happened to leak into her wardrobe on the second floor. She temporarily found a few plastic basins on the wardrobe to catch the rain, I originally said that I wanted to ask you to help move the wardrobe. When the weather is clear, I will ask someone to go up to the roof to have a look.

Look... heh, didn't you come to set up a stall tonight, we didn't see you...

Hearing this, Xu Tongdao smiled.

Auntie Wang, okay, I understand what you mean, so I'm fine now anyway, so I'll go over and help her now?

Aunt Wang nodded again and again, It's so brave! It's too much trouble for you, Xiao Xu, you are such a good child! Thank you! Thank you!

Auntie Wang, you're too polite, so say so, I'll go take a look now!

Ai! Good.

Farewell to Aunt Wang, Tongdao Xu held an umbrella, lit a cigarette, and walked to Wu Yali's house in a hurry. Anyway, she lived not far from here.

...

People in the city close early in the evening. When Tongdao Xu came to Wu Yali's house, the door of her house was already closed, but the windows of the bedroom next to the main room were filled with ever-changing lights.

She should be watching TV in the room, and Tongdao Xu could hear the sound from the TV inside even standing at the door.

He smiled, walked to the root of the window, raised his hand and knocked on the glass of the window.

Sister Wu! Sister Wu!!

After shouting twice, Wu Yali's voice came from inside, Who is it? Who is knocking on the window?

It's me! Xiao Xu! Tongdao Xu!

Oh, it's you? Why are you here so late? Just wait! I'll open the door for you right now...

Ai, good!

...

Before long, the door creaked and opened from the inside.

The light has been turned on in the main room, and Wu Yali, who opened the door, was dressed very cool because of the weather and because she was going to sleep at night, with a pair of floral pants and a floral halter top, her domineering figure looked domineering.

Tongdao Xu glanced at her, then quickly set his eyes on her face, embarrassed to look more.

She didn't notice anything wrong, but asked with a funny frown, Xiao Dao, it's so late, why did you come to me? Is there something wrong? Tell me if you have something!

Tongdao Xu explained his purpose of coming, and Wu Yali immediately walked away from him enthusiastically, complaining with a smile on her face: Oh! My mother is really, it's already late at night, she's still bothering you so much, come back during the day tomorrow. It's too late! The stairs are here, you follow me on the trail! I'll take you upstairs...

Tongdao Xu could see that her complaint was just a courtesy, and she was actually very happy that he could help her at this time.

Following her and walking towards the stairs, Tongdao Xu subconsciously looked back at the door of the master bedroom next to the hall, Sister Wu, Ya Ya is in the room, right? Can she be alone on the bed?

Hey! It's okay, that little thing has already fallen asleep, and ah, she slept deeply for a few hours at night, you don't need to worry about her! At this time, even if we call her a few times, she will Can't wake up.

While talking, Tongdao Xu had followed her upstairs. Before going upstairs, Wu Yali had already turned on the corridor lights.

She walked in front, and Tongdao Xu followed her upstairs. As soon as he raised his head, his heart beat a little faster. Her good figure was just as impulsive when viewed from behind.
