sanguine and depressive

In the end, Aunt Jiang helped me upstairs and brought me povidone iodine to disinfect me.Because I only wore short sleeves, there were a few places on the back that were slightly torn.While painting, she muttered in a low voice: "Oh...how can you beat a child like this..." But I couldn't answer this question.

After applying it, my whole body was hot and cold, like the aftertaste of drinking alcohol, only more painful than just after being beaten.Trembling, I took out my phone and turned it on, and saw two missed calls from my mother, probably calling me home.Nothing else.

Trying to call Wei Chengyu again, but the familiar "Hello..." cut off.Then I realized that there was no need to make a phone call.

I sat in a daze, because lying down would press the swollen place and it would only hurt more.Thinking of this time last year, just after the college entrance examination, summer officially started.Exams, grades, volunteers, admissions... as long as there is a step in the middle, you will not be in the same school.In order to be together, we have obviously spent a lot of thought and made a lot of efforts.

At about three or four o'clock, it rained heavily again.In the interval between the sound of rain, I suddenly heard the sound of small stones hitting the glass. I thought I had heard it wrong, and after more than ten seconds, I heard several fragmentary sounds.

I got a hint, put on my coat and ran downstairs, opened the door from the entrance, no one was there, took an umbrella and went to the living room, pushed open the glass door and walked to the yard.I ran over on the wet lawn, and saw a man standing outside the yard door, wearing a jacket that looked like a jacket, shining brightly from the rain.

Before he could speak, I asked resentfully, "Why don't you answer the phone, I can't find you."

"The phone was broken, and I managed to escape through the window today." He replied, smiling at me while talking, "Damn it's so exciting, I climbed down from the second floor."

I held up my umbrella and looked at him blankly. Seeing that I was silent, Wei Chengyu asked, "Your family also knows? Don't you agree? Don't be nervous, I..."

I interrupted him: "Let's forget it."

The expression on his face suddenly froze, and he asked me stiffly as if he didn't understand: "What do you mean?"

"My family doesn't agree, and I can't help it." I smiled at him embarrassedly, "Let's forget it."

"Have you told them?" Wei Chengyu said, "Let me tell you, you open the courtyard door."

"What are you talking about? You said we have a good relationship?" I looked up at him, and I knew I was right by the look on his face. "It's useless to say it, it's unnecessary."

He raised his voice: "It's not necessary? What do you mean, so you want to break up with me?" He stretched his hand through the gap in the fence again, grabbed my wrist tightly, and even shook the umbrella, "Don't be nervous, You trust me, open the yard door, and I will tell you."

I said, "Really no..."

He quickly interrupted me: "Okay, if you don't open the yard door, I'll turn it over, and the result will be the same." After speaking, he really grabbed the railing with his hands and made a gesture to exert strength.The courtyard gate is a head taller than a person, and there is an iron dart head on the top of the lever, and now there are raindrops hanging on it, giving off a cold light.

"Don't move." I quickly stopped and threatened, "If you move, I will go in and call someone."

When Wei Chengyu heard what I said, he stopped his hands and looked very unbelievable: "...Aren't you going to fight again?"

"What are you fighting for?" I whispered, "You are so childish."

This word seemed to make him angry, he said: "Yes, I'm naive, I came to see you in the middle of the night. Grandpa was hospitalized twice, and when he couldn't do it, he asked me to go over, and asked me to kneel down and swear to study hard and serve the motherland. Get married and have children..." He was incoherent in a hurry, "I have never kneeled twice, and my legs were almost broken by Wei Xinkai!"

I took a deep breath and whispered coriander, but he didn't hear it.

Wei Chengyu urged me: "Speak, are you serious? You speak clearly."

"Seriously. I've already thought about it." I said, "If you want, we will still be friends in the future, and if you need it..."

"Who wants to be your friend." He replied.I have nothing to say.

We were silent for a few seconds together. "So you want to break up with me because your family objected, is that what you mean?" He asked, "So I will never be as good as your family, and you have never regarded me as a family member, have you?"

I paused, then nodded: "Yes." I put away the umbrella and passed it through the gap in the door, "Go with the umbrella."

He didn't answer, just said: "Coward."

I turned a deaf ear, leaned the umbrella aside, turned and ran back home.

Walking back to the living room, I found that Aunt Jiang was coming out of the bathroom with her head poking her head. When she saw me, she came over and whispered urgently: "You went out? Oh, you can't get rained on your wound. Where have you been? I'm not afraid of your parents. Discovered." She nagged, my mind went blank, I felt out of breath, I ran past her to the sink and retched twice.Seeing that something was wrong, Aunt Jiang turned around and left, and poured me a cup of hot water after a while.

I took a few sips and asked her: "Aunt Jiang, can you help me see if the outsider has left. If not..." I suddenly made up my mind, "If he hasn't left, let him in."

Aunt Jiang was a little embarrassed, but she nodded, took another umbrella from the umbrella stand, opened the glass door and walked into the yard.After a while, she came back and said: "There was no one, but I saw an umbrella at the door and took it back." She held two umbrellas in her hand, one was the umbrella she used when she went out, and the other was the umbrella I left behind. That transparent umbrella over there.

I took the transparent umbrella and opened it.This umbrella has blocked the rain, stored water, and witnessed many moments.Seeing Aunt Jiang's unclear face through the transparent plastic film, and seeing the cold living room in the dark, I suddenly felt a kind of hatred.At this moment, I really hated him a little bit, hated why he believed what I said, hated why he didn’t protect me when he promised to protect me.

I squatted down to wipe off the raindrops on the umbrella. The bedroom door on the first floor opened suddenly, revealing my mother's face. She came over and said, "What are you doing? Your father is already asleep. Do you want to wake him up?"

"It's broken up, it's already broken up." I looked up at her and said, "Don't worry."

Now I was finally empty-handed, I couldn't catch any of them, I didn't get any of them, and I was completely devastated and embarrassed.

Because I hardly closed my eyes for three consecutive days, I fell asleep unknowingly when it was approaching dawn.When I wake up, I feel that the floor and the ceiling are like undulating waves, and when my feet touch the floor, the strangeness is clumsily differentiated, and each step is getting more and more unfamiliar.

I actually forgot how to walk.

In the next few days, Aunt Jiang supported me to start my rehabilitation. At the same time, they came to negotiate with me about after-sales service—"Since we have broken up, I hope you two will not meet each other." Chen Minbo gave a plan, "We will also cooperate with you Your father discussed it with us and decided that we will contribute. Your parents will pay you to send you to study in the UK. As long as you cooperate with your study, the school will only be better than what you are studying at now. Don’t worry about that. We will try our best to help you in life. You arrange the best conditions, and if you need an aunt, you can also find one for you." Everything is well arranged, except that we cannot be together.

After saying this, he said again: "When is it convenient for you recently? Wei Chengyu said he wanted to meet you." At this time, I had just tasted what it was like to be a toddler in Handan, and I wished I could just prostrate myself on the ground.Pushing a wheelchair is very disrespectful, I don't want Wei Chengyu to know, I also don't want Chen Minbo and the others to see it, it seems that I am stupid and fragile.

I replied: "Forget it, just tell him that I don't want to meet him anymore."

On the 13th day, when I woke up, I somehow remembered how to walk again, walking like flying, as if I had been reborn, brought back to life, and had a new look, everything has passed.Chen Minbo's actions were also very quick, saying that if my grades were not good, I would go to a language school first and make adjustments according to my situation.I agree to all of them.

A week later, on the day of departure, Uncle Wang came to pick me up at the airport. Chen Minbo was the co-driver, and Cindy sat in the back row with me.

When he was about to arrive, he turned his head and said, "Here, I have issued a British calling card for you, and the number is written on it." I said thank you, and took the thin card from Chen Minbo's hand.

After a while, he said again: "You are a sensible child, you know what this means." I nodded, getting used to their superficially sensible, but actually sharp-edged words.

When we arrived at the terminal, Uncle Wang drove away, but Chen Minbo also got out of the car with us, carrying a small paper bag in his hand. Cindy took me in, took the last opportunity to ask me, and said first: "Actually, it's not that your parents disagree with your liking for boys... Your mother wanted to come today, but she was afraid that you would be unhappy..." Then Changing the subject, he patted me on the shoulder, "Who told me that Britain is still called a 'rot country', there must be a lot of handsome guys there. Find another one? Find a handsome guy from a corrupt country!"

It's time to go through the customs, I waved to her, Chen Minbo suddenly stepped forward, and handed over the paper bag in his hand: "Because you didn't see Cheng Yu last time, he gave it to me later, let me pass it to you."

I froze for a moment, quickly took the paper bag over, and said goodbye to them.

When I went through the security check, I took out the things in my pocket and put them into a plastic basket. The staff member stopped me: "You have something that fell out." Looking back, I found that it was the Polaroid photo I took when I was graduating from high school.I picked it up carefully and looked at it twice.Li Xuyang said that the two of us haven't changed much, but in fact, looking at the photos, there are still some changes.

After going through a set of procedures, I finally sat down in the waiting room and waited for the plane. I couldn't help but untie the paper bag Chen Minbo gave me and looked inside.

A fluffy corner peeked out of the bag—the gray scarf that I had knit and unknitted.

I held the paper bag and looked around in a daze. People around me had different expressions. The little boy in summer vacation put his hands on his father’s lap, leaned closer and whispered in his ear with a smile; bag, and an economics journal in the other hand; the old couple read the information on the boarding pass while the other tidied up the skirts of each other.

I lowered my head again, seeing the endless mouse-gray carpet under my feet, and wanted to run barefoot along it to the land of no one, as if everything was a big dream.It was like going back to the first National Day of high school again, my father walked into my room wearing Morandi gray silk pajamas, sat gently on the end of the bed, and asked me if I wanted to go abroad.

And I said yes.
