Sex: "Did you deliberately not say the correct answer?"
Li Yuqing pursed her lips and said, "He's boring, he always asks the same questions..."
The tone was complaining, but Wu Changtong read more information from this sentence.Li Yuqing's mental level seems to be improving rapidly. At first she was only good at acting like a baby, and later she would pretend to be sick and get angry... Now, she can already remember Jack's question and analyze some kind of purpose.
She knew Jack's routine, and complained that she was bored.
Wu Changtong thinks this indicates recovery and recovery, so he is very happy.But she still had a doubt, why did Li Yuqing lie before the question had time to be repeated?
"Why didn't you want to tell him the correct answer? Why did you just tell him when I asked?" Wu Changtong asked.
Li Yuqing frowned, very reluctantly: "I just want to tell you."
My thoughts, my feelings, my preferences... I just want to tell you everything, including my ulterior motives.
As long as you ask, I will say.Only if you ask, I will tell.
Ever since he made a concession on the issue of rent, Wu Changtong felt that he was not able to restrain himself on the issue of money.
——Of course, since she was a child, she has never restrained herself.
But now the problem is more serious, because she only has a deposit for a flat in Beijing on her card.
A flat in Beijing is not cheap...but every time Wu Changtong makes a purchase, he will silently say in his heart: I still have the money for a flat in Beijing—and then he hints at himself, and the bill rushes like running water.So it is not terrible to be poor, what is terrible is to sit and eat.
Wu Changtong looked at the things he bought: Lego, figures, cotton candy machines, milk powder, perfume, clothes... and Laoganma and Latiao, which were bought at high prices on the black market for foreign students.
Some of them were caused by her own itch, while others were brought back by Li Yuqing acting coquettishly.
In fact, Li Yuqing wasn't particularly extravagant, but whenever she stared pitifully at other people's windows, Wu Changtong always moved things home with a soft heart.This is probably the necessary path for every new mother. They have to learn not to indulge their children so much and learn to subtract their desires.
On this day, they went out to shop as usual and passed a musical instrument store.Li Yuqing couldn't walk anymore after seeing the piano, so she insisted on going in to touch it.Wu Changtong looked helpless, and said, "You can touch the piano, but you can't buy it. I really don't have any money."
Crying poor in front of children is also one of the necessary skills for single mothers.
Li Yuqing blinked, thought for a while and said, "Forget it, don't watch it."
She dragged Wu Changtong along and walked forward with a dull head.Seeing her "thrifty housekeeping", Wu Changtong thought it was funny, so he took the initiative to stop when passing by a music bar and said, "Do you want to go in and listen to music?"
There was a wonderful movement flowing from the bar, quiet and gentle.Li Yuqing immediately rejoiced and said, "Sure!"
She used to be a singer and wrote her own songs, so it's only natural that she would have a chemical reaction with music.
Li Yuqing pulled Wu Changtong to sit closest to the violinist, and stared at the player with his chin up.She was engrossed, and Wu Changtong also felt happy, and couldn't help asking: "Do you still remember the song you wrote? I haven't had time to listen to it yet."
During the period when Li Yuqing was composing the album, Wu Changtong hated Li Yuqing so much.She vaguely remembered that Li Yuqing had sent the demo, but she didn't listen to it at the time, but looking for it now, the file has expired.However, neither the physical version nor the electronic version of the album has yet been released, and it is impossible to listen to it if you want to.
Li Yuqing blinked her eyes and said, "What?"
Only then did Wu Changtong come back to his senses, shook his head with a wry smile, looked at the violinist, and said wistfully, "It's nothing."
Having lived with Li Yuqing for a long time, she seems to have forgotten that this is the reset version of Li Yuqing.
Li Yuqing stared at Wu Changtong's side face, thinking a little confused: Why does Tongtong look so sad?Have I ever written a song for Tongtong?What is it like?But why do I write songs?
Even though Li Yuqing couldn't express these doubts in words, these doubts did flash through her mind.Immediately, she had a splitting headache, as if something was about to come out of her head.
At this moment, the waiter came over with free tea and menus, and at the same time reminded in a low voice: "We can order songs here, just write it on a piece of paper and hand it to me, as long as it is a song that musicians know. I hope you spend a lot of time." A wonderful evening."
The monster in her mind stalked back with its teeth and claws open again, Li Yuqing almost forgot what she was thinking about the last second, and her attention was completely diverted. "I want to order a song!" she said to Wu Changtong.
Wu Changtong glanced at her and asked, "Do you know what song you want to hear?"
"Hmm..." Li Yuqing hesitated, because she realized that she really didn't know the title of the song.
Wu Changtong smiled, wrote several names on the paper, handed it to the waiter and said, "If no one else is in line, please play these few songs."
These are all pieces that Li Yuqing used when practicing ballet before.
After the note was delivered, the musicians quickly changed the repertoire.The notes slowly flowed into the ears, and Li Yuqing's expression became very happy: "Wow, it sounds so good!"
That is natural, after all, it is a classic that can stand the test.
After Li Yuqing praised the song, she fell into deep thought the next second: "Have I heard it before..."
The author has something to say: Do you feel a strong breath that it is about to end... Well, in short, it is equivalent to a preview, and it will end within a week according to visual estimation.
This time, I want to say something... The waist drum team didn't seem to be particularly liked by everyone last time, so I'm hesitant now.There are several pre-acquisitions in the column, and everyone chooses to receive one. I will check the situation and decide what orz to open
By the way, please ask the author to collect... Is it possible to collect 2500 works this month? 【star eyes
☆, caught a cold
Under the candlelight, Li Yuqing's contemplative side face was rather reclusive and independent, which reminded Wu Changtong of her a long time ago.
In the past, Li Yuqing traveled back and forth between cities, and when she boarded a plane, she just looked out the window like this, and no one knew what she was thinking.Wu Changtong's chest felt like a landslide and the ground cracked, and the rolling boulders fell from the top of the mountain and smashed into her calm heart.
Wu Changtong thought: It's over, I fell in love again.
Li Yuqing thought for a while but became impatient again, she shook her head violently, muttered and complained: "My head hurts, I don't want to think about it anymore!"
Before Wu Changtong's nostalgic and attached eyes could be retracted, they happened to meet Li Yuqing's eyes.Li Yuqing asked: "What are you looking at?"
He even looked behind him, but he could only get a piece of emptiness.
Wu Changtong quickly regained consciousness, shook his head and said, "It's nothing, just listen to the music."
When the bill came, Wu Changtong realized the cultural differences between the two countries.She pointed to the "Music" column on the menu, which was almost hundreds of times more expensive than the food, and asked, "You here...do you charge for ordering songs?"
As soon as she said the words, she wanted to go back on her word. Isn't this nonsense!
The waiter smiled enthusiastically and said: "Yes, there are instructions on the menu. Thank you for your consumption, and I hope you really had a good night."
The night is quite beautiful, but the price hurts.Wu Changtong gritted his teeth and couldn't help frowning: "Is it true that there are very few people ordering songs here?"
The music played by the musicians remained unchanged until they came in.After handing over the note, the musician quickly changed the repertoire... Wu Changtong deduced from this that he might be the only one who was taken advantage of tonight.
The waiter's expression finally changed a little, and he said with a little embarrassment: "It's always been like this, maybe the guests just want to enjoy dinner quietly."
"But you are a music restaurant..." Wu Changtong shook his head, looked at the small stage that surrounded the musicians, took out his card and said, "Your place is not well planned, the lighting does not highlight the musicians; It is also placed too scattered, making the music just the background, considering the positioning of your restaurant, music should be the main course."
Wu Changtong studied with Mary for a few days, and she carried some occupational diseases everywhere. She commented a few words casually, but confused the waiter. The waiter took the card and said politely: "If possible, can you Wait here? I'll call our store manager over."
"Eh?" Before Wu Zhangtong could react, the waiter had already left quickly.
Li Yuqing propped her chin, looked at Wu Changtong for a moment, and then praised: "Tongtong is really amazing!"
Wu Changtong suddenly felt a little swollen, pinched Li Yuqing's face and said, "I have something even stronger!"
"What, what is it!" Li Yuqing asked.
At this moment, the waiter led the manager to this table.The store manager was thirsty for talents, and asked: "The waiter said that you have done some research on interior decoration. May I ask you, are you interested in helping our restaurant?"
Wu Zhangtong opened his mouth, but before he could speak, the store manager was shocked again: "Oh my God! Are you Chinese! The light was too dim just now, and now with the candlelight shining, I realized that I have met Dongfang people!"
Wu Changtong was a little embarrassed, and replied: "I am Chinese, and I am currently studying stage planning and layout in the UK, but my level is limited..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the store manager: "I heard that Chinese people know the art of Feng Shui, please don't be modest! If it is convenient, please give me some pointers!"
The store manager was too enthusiastic, and Wu Changtong couldn't refuse coldly, so he had to combine what he had learned and put forward some small suggestions on the lighting, sound and decoration layout of the store, and finally said: "I can only do some small things. If you want to really help the restaurant, you need more professional personnel.”
She told the truth, but was taken as modesty by the store manager.The store manager shook her hands and said: "Professionals are too expensive! It is enough to have the guidance of an oriental Fengshui master! Thank you very very very much! In order to express my feelings, your meal fee - [-]% off Bar!"
Wu Changtong: "..."
Fortunately, she thought she would be able to avoid the bill, but she didn't expect it to be just a [-]% discount!Wu Changtong looked at the distressed expression on the store manager's face, and thought: No wonder ordering songs is so expensive... The store manager is so picky, and the [-]% discount is actually pretty good, right?
Not at all.Grief and indignation.
Wu Changtong vomited blood in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.She entered the password in a clinker, and planned to pull Li Yuqing away.
Unexpectedly, Li Yuqing stared at the piano on the small stage as if roots were growing on her feet, and said, "Can I play it?"
She yearned so much, Wu Changtong was touched by her expression, and thought: I really like piano so much?
"Of course!" the store manager said pleasantly: "I believe your music will be as wonderful as your people. With such a beautiful lady playing here, I believe the business in the store will definitely improve! It seems that next month's The rent has been settled!"
Wu Changtong: "..."
You don't have to be so sincere, do you?No wonder you can't afford to hire a professional stage designer, so it's because you don't have money... Then I forgive you for being stingy for not even offering a [-]% discount.
Li Yuqing said thank you and walked to the piano.She lifted the lid, put her hands on the keys naturally, her gaze was focused and gentle, like the shining star of the past.The store manager couldn't help admiring, and even Wu Changtong was taken aback, thinking: What should come will always come, so let's move the piano from the musical instrument shop home later.
But this dreamlike atmosphere lasted less than two seconds, Li Yuqing started to play the piano, and the store manager and Wu Changtong fell from the fairyland back to the world... It was still a steel factory.
Wu Changtong silently crossed off the piano on the want-to-buy list.
Li Yuqing was very intoxicated. She stumbled at the beginning, and after a minute, she could barely hear the tune, which was "Little Star".
After getting started, I became more and more proficient in playing, at least reaching the level of the second grade of elementary school.
More and more guests discovered that someone was trying to kill someone with the piano, they looked towards the stage in agitation, and then fell silent the second they saw the picture.Wu Changtong stared at Li Yuqing, who was shrouded in lights, she was still calm and composed under many eyes, intoxicated in her own world.
Wu Changtong thought: "Has she recovered? Does she remember anything?"
Facts have proved that the piano is not Li Yuqing's destined partner.Wu Changtong took Li Yuqing back home while rejoicing that he "saved a sum of money".
Li Yuqing looked down at her to ask for praise, and asked expectantly, "Tongtong, did I play well just now?"
Wu Zhangtong replied out of conscience: "It's okay... maybe you can just remember the score, after all, playing the piano should be muscle memory."
Li Yuqing let out a low "Oh" and stopped talking.
When going to bed at night, Li Yuqing didn't ask to sleep with Wu Changtong again.Wu Changtong was a little surprised and teased her: "Then do you want me to help you take a bath?"
Li Yuqing said angrily, "No need!"
Wu Changtong said: "Hey, our Qingqing has grown up, and we don't need other people to fuck us anymore."
Li Yuqing entered the bathroom without saying a word, and 10 minutes later left the bathroom without saying a word, got into the room and closed the door.
This is the first time that Wu Changtong has been treated coldly on the issue of sleeping, and unexpectedly he is a little bit perplexed: Has Qingqing stopped sleeping with him since then?
It was the first time I slept alone after coming to the UK, and Wu Changtong tossed and turned, feeling a little insomnia.She thought back on her behavior all day today, and couldn't figure out where she had offended Li Yuqing, which caused her to sleep in a separate room.
Could it be that he didn't praise her for playing the piano well?Still haven't bought a piano back?
I never expected that I would not be able to sleep because of this kind of problem... Wu Changtong wanted to climb up the parenting forum to ask "what to do if the child always wants to buy toys".
But she didn't climb onto the parenting forum, she quietly climbed onto Li Yuqing's bed.
Li Yuqing curled up into a ball, with her thumb in her mouth, her sleeping appearance was cute but restless.She seemed to be having a nightmare, frowning and moaning.Wu Changtong listened closely and found that she was calling "Tongtong".
Wu Changtong sensed something was wrong, and stretched out his hand to touch his forehead, as expected, it was hot.He went to touch Li Yuqing's back again, dripping with sweat.
Got a cold?
Wu Changtong felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy, so he quickly woke up Li Yuqing.
Li Yuqing was in a daze, seeing Wu Zhangtong thought it was a dream, and said in a daze, "Tongtong, do you not like me?"
Wu Zhangtong was taken aback, and replied "Tongtong likes Qingqing the most", and then looked at Li Yuqing's expression, only to find that the other party shed a tear, and fell asleep with his head tilted.
Wu Changtong took Li Yuqing to the hospital overnight and was called to the emergency department.On the way, Li Yuqing didn't wake up, gurgling broken syllables, except for the first question, no one knew what she was talking about.
And Wu Changtong would never know that Li Yuqing dreamed of her.
—— "I'm off the fan. I don't like you anymore."
- "Do you remember the song you wrote?"
——"Just remember the music score."
Tongtong, what should I remember?
Do you...don't like me?
☆, 1708
The illness came like a mountain, and Wu Changtong couldn't figure out why he suddenly fell ill.
Cold?blown?Even bad stomach?
In the past few months, Li Yuqing has always been coming to the hospital. Perhaps such frequent going in and out of the hospital made her physically poor. This time she had a small cold and she was sluggish for five days.
During these five days, Wu Changtong finished his classes, took a quick shower at home, then rushed to the hospital, and stayed with Li Yuqing all night.Early the next morning, after washing in a hurry, I rushed to school again.So cycle.
Such a life of three points and one line, the rhythm is too tight.In addition, the undergraduate basic courses are too full. In order to listen to Mary's class, she often has to choose to miss the basic courses and use the notes of her juniors to make up for them afterwards.
After five days, the dark circles under the eyes became bigger and bigger, and some students even sighed: "Kid, do you Chinese have the same eyes as pandas? Is this a gene unique to you Chinese?"
Wu Changtong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and explained: "Recently life is a mess, and I can't sleep well."
The classmate patted her on the shoulder reassuringly and said, "Then you have to be careful, Mary is not in a good mood recently."
Mary was really in a bad mood.One day during the theory class, Mary used the projector to play the excellent stage design for the students to appreciate.In the empty lecture theater, Wu Changtong felt drowsy as soon as the lights went out.After playing about two works, she was sent to see Duke Zhou by some mysterious force.
But she didn't sleep very well. In the dream, someone always seemed to be talking in her ear: "Why don't you start from the 17th floor? Or even 16, 18? Obviously there was a moment when you doubted the efficiency, why don't you trust your intuition?" ?!"
There was eerie darkness in the dream, Wu Changtong couldn't see clearly, and he didn't know where the sharp question came from.She backed away while defending herself: "I didn't know it was the 17th floor, I really didn't know... If I had known, I would have run there right from the start! Maybe Qingqing wouldn't be hurt so badly, I won't be a child anymore..."
Within a few minutes of rushing upstairs, Wu Changtong did have various doubts in his mind.
[What if the investigation starts from the 15th floor, and Qingqing is located on the 89th and [-]th floors? 】
[Conversely, starting from the 19th floor, Qingqing is located at 56, what should I do? 】
[What if it's 17? 】
Strictly speaking, this is not an intuition, but a variety of possibilities imagined by people in a panic.From the perspective of probability, whatever you choose is the same; but from the perspective of the result, the time difference is 10 minutes faster.
That voice kept asking Wu Changtong: "Why not 17? Why is your intuition so inaccurate?!"
"I didn't do it on purpose..." Wu Changtong cried in his dream.
She continued to retreat, not noticing the road conditions behind her, and then stepped on the ground and fell into the abyss.It was pitch black in front of her eyes, and she didn't know who to call for help.
"Did you sleep well? Do you need me to bring you a pillow?" A serious voice almost rang in my ear.Then the desk shook violently, and Wu Changtong jumped up in shock, and it took two seconds for him to regain his senses.
Mary stood right in front of her, staring at her sharply.The classmates also looked back at her, both sympathetic and gloating.
Wu Changtong blushed and said, "I'm sorry..."
Mary said: "Do you think you are so good that you don't have to study in my class? You have studied in China for four years as an undergraduate. You might as well study here for a month. And now you are even sleeping in class, I've never seen such a lack of effort and self-importance like you."
Wu Changtong could only continue to apologize: "I'm sorry, my friend has been sick recently, I have to take pictures in the hospital..."
Before she finished speaking, Mary slapped the desk loudly again, and said: "Friends are not an excuse for all mistakes. You came here to study, not to take care of your friends. The focus of your life is your friend." Is it? I see that you are quite proud when you talk in the bar. Do you think that you can make money with your professional level? Chinese Fengshui master... the name of the Chinese is really useful, thank you Born in a good country."
Wu Changtong was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that Mary was talking about the music restaurant.
She has been there?So what does she think of her changes?
Wu Changtong felt uneasy, and inevitably looked forward to praise.But just by looking at the other party's expression, it is impossible to have a positive view...
Mary looked at her and shook her head, showing an unteachable expression, and said: "If you can't stay awake, then I suggest you go to the playground and run ten laps, and then stand at the end of the classroom to listen to the class. In this class When you're done, come find me in my office and we'll have a good chat about your attitude."
Mary always said one thing, and Wu Zhangtong looked around the classroom and knew that this sentence was an order, not a discussion.Resigned to her fate, she tidied up her things, entrusted the classmates at the next table to take care of them, and then walked out of the classroom like a bereaved dog.
She literally went to the playground and ran ten laps, trying to get that nightmare out of her mind as she ran.
But the voice still asked her, "Why didn't you know it was 17?"
The four numbers 1708 are deeply engraved in Wu Changtong's head, like a nightmare.After running ten laps, she returned to the classroom panting, and stood upright against the wall as Mary ordered.
The class is still going on, but it has come to the end stage. All the excellent works have been displayed. Mary asks a question on the podium: "Talk about your favorite work."
Before the corporal's childlike breath was smooth, Mary called her name: "Kid, you answer."
Sleeping in the first half of class and running in the second half of class, Wu Changtong couldn't answer anything, so he had to apologize.
Mary criticized again: "Running when it's time to learn, and catching up afterwards will only get twice the result with half the effort. I hope you can remember this lesson."
If you don't sleep in class, you won't be punished.Wu Changtong knew that he had made a mistake first, so he didn't argue.
As soon as the voice fell, the get out of class bell rang.The students packed up their things and left in twos and threes, and patted Wu Changtong on the shoulder sympathetically, but she could only force a smile.
She walked to Mary's side and said, "I didn't have a correct study attitude, sorry."
Mary took one look at her and said, "Do you know why I asked you here?"
"I went to the music restaurant you remodeled. That restaurant was named as a Chinese Fengshui master, so I wanted to see who she was, who she was, and what she had in her belly. I didn't expect it, but what I saw was It's such rubbish. Do you think you are strong enough to take on the job alone? Do you know that your arrangement is too prominent for the sound of the music, which disturbs the normal conversation and meal of the guests. During this time, The traffic in the restaurant has dropped significantly. It can be said that you killed the restaurant."
"I know that most of you international students are short of money. I don't mind if you use this major to make money. This is the ultimate goal of most of you who come to me to study, but I don't want you to be self-defeating." The first half of the sentence Mary They were all spoken in English, except that the last four words were changed to Chinese, and the words were spoken in a correct way.
Wu Changtong felt his face was hot, as if he had been slapped four times.She became more and more ashamed, but only said: "I'm sorry..."
It's true that the restaurant owner tricked her, but she's certainly complacent, isn't she?She didn't think she had a position to make an excuse, let alone Mary wouldn't accept an excuse.
Only then did Mary's expression soften a little, and she said, "I also recently took on a restaurant design job, and I need to look for inspiration across the city. You will come home late these few nights, and go to various restaurants and bars with me Take a look."
Wu Changtong thought of the pale Li Yuqing in the hospital, and subconsciously wanted to refuse.
Mary said, "Is it about your friend again? Are you living your life for her?"
The four numbers 1708 flashed across Wu Changtong's mind, and she asked Mary, "Am I always making wrong decisions?"
Mary gave her a meaningful look and said, "Say hello to your friend for me."
Wu Changtong did not respond to Mary immediately. When he arrived at the hospital that night, he explained the whole thing to Li Yuqing, and finally asked her opinion.
Li Yuqing was wearing a hospital gown, and her face became paler.After listening, she asked: "Will you still come to the hospital to take care of me?"
Wu Changtong said, "Come over when you're done."
Li Yuqing then said considerately: "Then... that's fine."
For some reason, Wu Changtong always felt distressed when looking at Li Yuqing, so he patted her head and said, "Don't wait for me."
Li Yuqing was going to be hospitalized, and when Wu Changtong was away, she played with Lego by herself or with the nurse sister.The nurse sister likes her very much, and everyone gets along well.
Wu Changtong finally realized the hardships of taking on outsourced work for his mentor. Mary took her around and visited five or six stores in one night. Each bar or restaurant had a different style. She also needed photography equipment to objectively record all the situations and organize them into a summary after returning home. Watch, waiting for Mary's spot check the next day.
Fortunately, she has been a gun sister for several years, and it is not a problem at all to run around for five or six hours with a camera on her back.
After Mary enters the building, the first thing she does is usually to ask Wu Changtong what she thinks.Wu Changtong usually had to think for a while, but Mary didn't urge her, just stood there and stared coldly.
When Wu Changtong finally organized his words and spoke the answer tremblingly, Mary cursed again with a half-smile: "Trash."
Wu Changtong's ability to resist blows in this area is not bad, and he did not lose confidence because of the verbal belittling, but smiled and asked: "Mary, what did I say wrong?"
Mary will comment again. Her concise and sharp words have benefited Wu Zhangtong a lot.After a few days, the harvest is greater than the previous four years.
Although Wu Zhang Tong Ranli Yuqing didn't want to wait, but every time she came home, she could still see a light that was on.
On the first day and the second day, Wu Changtong felt very warm in his heart; on the third day and the fourth day, he began to worry about Li Yuqing's body; on the fifth day, when he went back a little later, he saw Li Yuqing woke up from the sofa, rubbed his eyes and said sleepily When "you are finally back", Wu Changtong felt that this could not go on.
She asked Li Yuqing: "Why don't you sleep? Didn't I tell you to sleep well, don't wait for me?"
Maybe it was because he ran for five or six hours with the camera on his shoulders, and was so belittled by Mary that his soul was broken. Wu Changtong's tone was not very good, and he seemed a little blunt.
Li Yuqing narrowed her eyes and smiled, waved her hands and said, "Okay, I'll sleep next time."
Li Yuqing's expression was too accommodating... Wu Changtong noticed something strange, and when he wanted to ask, he found that Li Yuqing had already stood up and went to the bedroom, his back looked very depressed.
Wu Changtong stopped her: "Hey..."
Li Yuqing turned her head and said with pure eyes, "Tongtong, what's wrong?"
Wu Changtong hesitated for a while, but just said: "...good night."
She came back too late, Li Yuqing really couldn't wait any longer.
Later, the light in the living room was always on, but Li Yuqing herself fell asleep.
Wu Changtong went to the bedroom to look a few times, and found that she was breathing smoothly and sleeping peacefully, presumably she had listened to her own words.
Wu Changtong left the room with some relief, not noticing the slowly opening eyes behind him.
☆, sleep or not
For half a month, Wu Changtong visited bars and restaurants in the city with Mary, and the consumption during this period was of course AA.
Looking at the bill, Wu Changtong was glad that Mary was not the kind of teacher who took advantage of the students, but at the same time felt that the bank. bank. card seemed to be a lot lighter.Precious is precious, and when a card isn't that expensive, it's not that heavy.
In the past half a month, Wu Changtong didn't even have time to rest on weekends, and was forced to cancel the once-a-week casual shopping with Li Yuqing.Li Yuqing obediently did not protest, and even told her sensiblely: "Be careful."
Wu Changtong always felt that there was something strange, but he couldn't tell where it was.
Could it be that after one illness, how old was Li Yuqing?
One night it rained heavily, and after Maryy took Wu Zhangtong to a store, there was no way to transfer the traffic, so she took the holiday early.Wu Changtong returned home with difficulty and found that Li Yuqing was watching TV.
Recently popular children's cartoons are shown on TV, and the age of the audience is about six years old.Wu Changtong's question buried in his heart was finally resolved—ah, is Li Yuqing six years old?
She came back early, Li Yuqing said happily: "I came back so early today!"
Wu Changtong pointed to the lightning and thunder outside the window, and regretted: "The weather is too bad, so I can't continue. But the shop I went to today has a signature dessert. They said it was very delicious, and children like it, so I will give it to you. Bring it back, you try it?"
Li Yuqing took the box, pouted and said, "I'm not a child."
Wu Changtong said, "It's not a child, what is that?"
Li Yuqing tilted her head and thought for a while, opened the package and took a bite, then suddenly showed a particularly happy expression and said, "I'm a child!"
Wu Changtong couldn't help smiling when he saw her go back on promises because of a dessert.Every child is eager to prove that he is already an adult, but in front of the things he is interested in, he will always show his childlike side.
Wu Changtong said, "Adults can eat it too."
Li Yuqing's expression became a little tangled, and after a while, she reluctantly handed the dessert to Wu Changtong, and said, "Okay, then I'll give you a taste...two."
She thought Wu Changtong was looking for her to beg for food.
Wu Changtong didn't expect Li Yuqing to have such a reaction at all. She was not interested in this dessert, but she was very interested in "the dessert Li Yuqing fed herself", so she opened her mouth and took a small bite.
The very, very small bite caused Li Yuqing, the food protector, to take the initiative to say: "Take another bite! It's delicious!"
Wu Changtong shook his head and said, "Then do you want to sleep with me today?"
After Li Yuqing fell ill and was hospitalized, the two of them didn't share the same bed much.When he was admitted to the hospital, he had a single bed. After he was discharged from the hospital, Wu Changtong started a hard life of moving bricks. For some reason, the two of them naturally slept in separate beds.
Now that Wu Changtong asked about this sentence, he even felt a little nostalgic.
Li Yuqing tilted her head again and asked, "Is it okay?"
Wu Changtong asked curiously: "You used to sneak into my room, but now that you are more familiar, why did you ask for my permission instead?"
Li Yuqing said: "I didn't know you well before?"
This sentence seemed to have some meaning, Wu Changtong was taken aback for a moment, and said, "I said 'more'."
Li Yuqing said "Oh", then lowered her head and said, "Then I'll sleep alone."
At this moment, Wu Changtong suddenly noticed a discordant aura in Li Yuqing... It was as if she had two temperaments of a child and a girl at the same time.These two temperaments blended together so wonderfully that Wu Changtong suddenly couldn't figure out what Li Yuqing was thinking.
She seems to be very concerned about "familiarity", but she seems to emphasize the word "before".
Before... which was before?
Wu Changtong was thinking about something in his heart, but he blurted out, "Why?"
"You want me to grow up quickly, so I want to be an adult." Li Yuqing replied.
Wu Changtong was stunned.
What's the meaning?When did I hope that Li Yuqing would grow up soon?
Wait, what is "growing up" to Li Yuqing?
So all the compromises, concessions, and cuteness these days are all because Li Yuqing thinks she wants her to be sensible?
Agreeing to let myself and Mary visit the spot at night; turn on the lights and wait for me to go home; obediently go back to the room to sleep first; and decide to sleep alone.
For Li Yuqing now, it must be very difficult to do this.She is an insecure child, and now she wants to try to be independent, just to meet the expectations of others - Wu Changtong.
When she's alone in the hospital, when she's sitting in the living room waiting, when she's forcing herself to sleep...does she feel bad?
But it doesn't have to be... I want you to feel free to express your feelings without regard for anyone's attitude, including mine.
If you want to be a child, then be a child; if you want to be an adult, then be an adult.
I want you to be free.
Li Yuqing pursed her lips and said, "He's boring, he always asks the same questions..."
The tone was complaining, but Wu Changtong read more information from this sentence.Li Yuqing's mental level seems to be improving rapidly. At first she was only good at acting like a baby, and later she would pretend to be sick and get angry... Now, she can already remember Jack's question and analyze some kind of purpose.
She knew Jack's routine, and complained that she was bored.
Wu Changtong thinks this indicates recovery and recovery, so he is very happy.But she still had a doubt, why did Li Yuqing lie before the question had time to be repeated?
"Why didn't you want to tell him the correct answer? Why did you just tell him when I asked?" Wu Changtong asked.
Li Yuqing frowned, very reluctantly: "I just want to tell you."
My thoughts, my feelings, my preferences... I just want to tell you everything, including my ulterior motives.
As long as you ask, I will say.Only if you ask, I will tell.
Ever since he made a concession on the issue of rent, Wu Changtong felt that he was not able to restrain himself on the issue of money.
——Of course, since she was a child, she has never restrained herself.
But now the problem is more serious, because she only has a deposit for a flat in Beijing on her card.
A flat in Beijing is not cheap...but every time Wu Changtong makes a purchase, he will silently say in his heart: I still have the money for a flat in Beijing—and then he hints at himself, and the bill rushes like running water.So it is not terrible to be poor, what is terrible is to sit and eat.
Wu Changtong looked at the things he bought: Lego, figures, cotton candy machines, milk powder, perfume, clothes... and Laoganma and Latiao, which were bought at high prices on the black market for foreign students.
Some of them were caused by her own itch, while others were brought back by Li Yuqing acting coquettishly.
In fact, Li Yuqing wasn't particularly extravagant, but whenever she stared pitifully at other people's windows, Wu Changtong always moved things home with a soft heart.This is probably the necessary path for every new mother. They have to learn not to indulge their children so much and learn to subtract their desires.
On this day, they went out to shop as usual and passed a musical instrument store.Li Yuqing couldn't walk anymore after seeing the piano, so she insisted on going in to touch it.Wu Changtong looked helpless, and said, "You can touch the piano, but you can't buy it. I really don't have any money."
Crying poor in front of children is also one of the necessary skills for single mothers.
Li Yuqing blinked, thought for a while and said, "Forget it, don't watch it."
She dragged Wu Changtong along and walked forward with a dull head.Seeing her "thrifty housekeeping", Wu Changtong thought it was funny, so he took the initiative to stop when passing by a music bar and said, "Do you want to go in and listen to music?"
There was a wonderful movement flowing from the bar, quiet and gentle.Li Yuqing immediately rejoiced and said, "Sure!"
She used to be a singer and wrote her own songs, so it's only natural that she would have a chemical reaction with music.
Li Yuqing pulled Wu Changtong to sit closest to the violinist, and stared at the player with his chin up.She was engrossed, and Wu Changtong also felt happy, and couldn't help asking: "Do you still remember the song you wrote? I haven't had time to listen to it yet."
During the period when Li Yuqing was composing the album, Wu Changtong hated Li Yuqing so much.She vaguely remembered that Li Yuqing had sent the demo, but she didn't listen to it at the time, but looking for it now, the file has expired.However, neither the physical version nor the electronic version of the album has yet been released, and it is impossible to listen to it if you want to.
Li Yuqing blinked her eyes and said, "What?"
Only then did Wu Changtong come back to his senses, shook his head with a wry smile, looked at the violinist, and said wistfully, "It's nothing."
Having lived with Li Yuqing for a long time, she seems to have forgotten that this is the reset version of Li Yuqing.
Li Yuqing stared at Wu Changtong's side face, thinking a little confused: Why does Tongtong look so sad?Have I ever written a song for Tongtong?What is it like?But why do I write songs?
Even though Li Yuqing couldn't express these doubts in words, these doubts did flash through her mind.Immediately, she had a splitting headache, as if something was about to come out of her head.
At this moment, the waiter came over with free tea and menus, and at the same time reminded in a low voice: "We can order songs here, just write it on a piece of paper and hand it to me, as long as it is a song that musicians know. I hope you spend a lot of time." A wonderful evening."
The monster in her mind stalked back with its teeth and claws open again, Li Yuqing almost forgot what she was thinking about the last second, and her attention was completely diverted. "I want to order a song!" she said to Wu Changtong.
Wu Changtong glanced at her and asked, "Do you know what song you want to hear?"
"Hmm..." Li Yuqing hesitated, because she realized that she really didn't know the title of the song.
Wu Changtong smiled, wrote several names on the paper, handed it to the waiter and said, "If no one else is in line, please play these few songs."
These are all pieces that Li Yuqing used when practicing ballet before.
After the note was delivered, the musicians quickly changed the repertoire.The notes slowly flowed into the ears, and Li Yuqing's expression became very happy: "Wow, it sounds so good!"
That is natural, after all, it is a classic that can stand the test.
After Li Yuqing praised the song, she fell into deep thought the next second: "Have I heard it before..."
The author has something to say: Do you feel a strong breath that it is about to end... Well, in short, it is equivalent to a preview, and it will end within a week according to visual estimation.
This time, I want to say something... The waist drum team didn't seem to be particularly liked by everyone last time, so I'm hesitant now.There are several pre-acquisitions in the column, and everyone chooses to receive one. I will check the situation and decide what orz to open
By the way, please ask the author to collect... Is it possible to collect 2500 works this month? 【star eyes
☆, caught a cold
Under the candlelight, Li Yuqing's contemplative side face was rather reclusive and independent, which reminded Wu Changtong of her a long time ago.
In the past, Li Yuqing traveled back and forth between cities, and when she boarded a plane, she just looked out the window like this, and no one knew what she was thinking.Wu Changtong's chest felt like a landslide and the ground cracked, and the rolling boulders fell from the top of the mountain and smashed into her calm heart.
Wu Changtong thought: It's over, I fell in love again.
Li Yuqing thought for a while but became impatient again, she shook her head violently, muttered and complained: "My head hurts, I don't want to think about it anymore!"
Before Wu Changtong's nostalgic and attached eyes could be retracted, they happened to meet Li Yuqing's eyes.Li Yuqing asked: "What are you looking at?"
He even looked behind him, but he could only get a piece of emptiness.
Wu Changtong quickly regained consciousness, shook his head and said, "It's nothing, just listen to the music."
When the bill came, Wu Changtong realized the cultural differences between the two countries.She pointed to the "Music" column on the menu, which was almost hundreds of times more expensive than the food, and asked, "You here...do you charge for ordering songs?"
As soon as she said the words, she wanted to go back on her word. Isn't this nonsense!
The waiter smiled enthusiastically and said: "Yes, there are instructions on the menu. Thank you for your consumption, and I hope you really had a good night."
The night is quite beautiful, but the price hurts.Wu Changtong gritted his teeth and couldn't help frowning: "Is it true that there are very few people ordering songs here?"
The music played by the musicians remained unchanged until they came in.After handing over the note, the musician quickly changed the repertoire... Wu Changtong deduced from this that he might be the only one who was taken advantage of tonight.
The waiter's expression finally changed a little, and he said with a little embarrassment: "It's always been like this, maybe the guests just want to enjoy dinner quietly."
"But you are a music restaurant..." Wu Changtong shook his head, looked at the small stage that surrounded the musicians, took out his card and said, "Your place is not well planned, the lighting does not highlight the musicians; It is also placed too scattered, making the music just the background, considering the positioning of your restaurant, music should be the main course."
Wu Changtong studied with Mary for a few days, and she carried some occupational diseases everywhere. She commented a few words casually, but confused the waiter. The waiter took the card and said politely: "If possible, can you Wait here? I'll call our store manager over."
"Eh?" Before Wu Zhangtong could react, the waiter had already left quickly.
Li Yuqing propped her chin, looked at Wu Changtong for a moment, and then praised: "Tongtong is really amazing!"
Wu Changtong suddenly felt a little swollen, pinched Li Yuqing's face and said, "I have something even stronger!"
"What, what is it!" Li Yuqing asked.
At this moment, the waiter led the manager to this table.The store manager was thirsty for talents, and asked: "The waiter said that you have done some research on interior decoration. May I ask you, are you interested in helping our restaurant?"
Wu Zhangtong opened his mouth, but before he could speak, the store manager was shocked again: "Oh my God! Are you Chinese! The light was too dim just now, and now with the candlelight shining, I realized that I have met Dongfang people!"
Wu Changtong was a little embarrassed, and replied: "I am Chinese, and I am currently studying stage planning and layout in the UK, but my level is limited..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the store manager: "I heard that Chinese people know the art of Feng Shui, please don't be modest! If it is convenient, please give me some pointers!"
The store manager was too enthusiastic, and Wu Changtong couldn't refuse coldly, so he had to combine what he had learned and put forward some small suggestions on the lighting, sound and decoration layout of the store, and finally said: "I can only do some small things. If you want to really help the restaurant, you need more professional personnel.”
She told the truth, but was taken as modesty by the store manager.The store manager shook her hands and said: "Professionals are too expensive! It is enough to have the guidance of an oriental Fengshui master! Thank you very very very much! In order to express my feelings, your meal fee - [-]% off Bar!"
Wu Changtong: "..."
Fortunately, she thought she would be able to avoid the bill, but she didn't expect it to be just a [-]% discount!Wu Changtong looked at the distressed expression on the store manager's face, and thought: No wonder ordering songs is so expensive... The store manager is so picky, and the [-]% discount is actually pretty good, right?
Not at all.Grief and indignation.
Wu Changtong vomited blood in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.She entered the password in a clinker, and planned to pull Li Yuqing away.
Unexpectedly, Li Yuqing stared at the piano on the small stage as if roots were growing on her feet, and said, "Can I play it?"
She yearned so much, Wu Changtong was touched by her expression, and thought: I really like piano so much?
"Of course!" the store manager said pleasantly: "I believe your music will be as wonderful as your people. With such a beautiful lady playing here, I believe the business in the store will definitely improve! It seems that next month's The rent has been settled!"
Wu Changtong: "..."
You don't have to be so sincere, do you?No wonder you can't afford to hire a professional stage designer, so it's because you don't have money... Then I forgive you for being stingy for not even offering a [-]% discount.
Li Yuqing said thank you and walked to the piano.She lifted the lid, put her hands on the keys naturally, her gaze was focused and gentle, like the shining star of the past.The store manager couldn't help admiring, and even Wu Changtong was taken aback, thinking: What should come will always come, so let's move the piano from the musical instrument shop home later.
But this dreamlike atmosphere lasted less than two seconds, Li Yuqing started to play the piano, and the store manager and Wu Changtong fell from the fairyland back to the world... It was still a steel factory.
Wu Changtong silently crossed off the piano on the want-to-buy list.
Li Yuqing was very intoxicated. She stumbled at the beginning, and after a minute, she could barely hear the tune, which was "Little Star".
After getting started, I became more and more proficient in playing, at least reaching the level of the second grade of elementary school.
More and more guests discovered that someone was trying to kill someone with the piano, they looked towards the stage in agitation, and then fell silent the second they saw the picture.Wu Changtong stared at Li Yuqing, who was shrouded in lights, she was still calm and composed under many eyes, intoxicated in her own world.
Wu Changtong thought: "Has she recovered? Does she remember anything?"
Facts have proved that the piano is not Li Yuqing's destined partner.Wu Changtong took Li Yuqing back home while rejoicing that he "saved a sum of money".
Li Yuqing looked down at her to ask for praise, and asked expectantly, "Tongtong, did I play well just now?"
Wu Zhangtong replied out of conscience: "It's okay... maybe you can just remember the score, after all, playing the piano should be muscle memory."
Li Yuqing let out a low "Oh" and stopped talking.
When going to bed at night, Li Yuqing didn't ask to sleep with Wu Changtong again.Wu Changtong was a little surprised and teased her: "Then do you want me to help you take a bath?"
Li Yuqing said angrily, "No need!"
Wu Changtong said: "Hey, our Qingqing has grown up, and we don't need other people to fuck us anymore."
Li Yuqing entered the bathroom without saying a word, and 10 minutes later left the bathroom without saying a word, got into the room and closed the door.
This is the first time that Wu Changtong has been treated coldly on the issue of sleeping, and unexpectedly he is a little bit perplexed: Has Qingqing stopped sleeping with him since then?
It was the first time I slept alone after coming to the UK, and Wu Changtong tossed and turned, feeling a little insomnia.She thought back on her behavior all day today, and couldn't figure out where she had offended Li Yuqing, which caused her to sleep in a separate room.
Could it be that he didn't praise her for playing the piano well?Still haven't bought a piano back?
I never expected that I would not be able to sleep because of this kind of problem... Wu Changtong wanted to climb up the parenting forum to ask "what to do if the child always wants to buy toys".
But she didn't climb onto the parenting forum, she quietly climbed onto Li Yuqing's bed.
Li Yuqing curled up into a ball, with her thumb in her mouth, her sleeping appearance was cute but restless.She seemed to be having a nightmare, frowning and moaning.Wu Changtong listened closely and found that she was calling "Tongtong".
Wu Changtong sensed something was wrong, and stretched out his hand to touch his forehead, as expected, it was hot.He went to touch Li Yuqing's back again, dripping with sweat.
Got a cold?
Wu Changtong felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy, so he quickly woke up Li Yuqing.
Li Yuqing was in a daze, seeing Wu Zhangtong thought it was a dream, and said in a daze, "Tongtong, do you not like me?"
Wu Zhangtong was taken aback, and replied "Tongtong likes Qingqing the most", and then looked at Li Yuqing's expression, only to find that the other party shed a tear, and fell asleep with his head tilted.
Wu Changtong took Li Yuqing to the hospital overnight and was called to the emergency department.On the way, Li Yuqing didn't wake up, gurgling broken syllables, except for the first question, no one knew what she was talking about.
And Wu Changtong would never know that Li Yuqing dreamed of her.
—— "I'm off the fan. I don't like you anymore."
- "Do you remember the song you wrote?"
——"Just remember the music score."
Tongtong, what should I remember?
Do you...don't like me?
☆, 1708
The illness came like a mountain, and Wu Changtong couldn't figure out why he suddenly fell ill.
Cold?blown?Even bad stomach?
In the past few months, Li Yuqing has always been coming to the hospital. Perhaps such frequent going in and out of the hospital made her physically poor. This time she had a small cold and she was sluggish for five days.
During these five days, Wu Changtong finished his classes, took a quick shower at home, then rushed to the hospital, and stayed with Li Yuqing all night.Early the next morning, after washing in a hurry, I rushed to school again.So cycle.
Such a life of three points and one line, the rhythm is too tight.In addition, the undergraduate basic courses are too full. In order to listen to Mary's class, she often has to choose to miss the basic courses and use the notes of her juniors to make up for them afterwards.
After five days, the dark circles under the eyes became bigger and bigger, and some students even sighed: "Kid, do you Chinese have the same eyes as pandas? Is this a gene unique to you Chinese?"
Wu Changtong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and explained: "Recently life is a mess, and I can't sleep well."
The classmate patted her on the shoulder reassuringly and said, "Then you have to be careful, Mary is not in a good mood recently."
Mary was really in a bad mood.One day during the theory class, Mary used the projector to play the excellent stage design for the students to appreciate.In the empty lecture theater, Wu Changtong felt drowsy as soon as the lights went out.After playing about two works, she was sent to see Duke Zhou by some mysterious force.
But she didn't sleep very well. In the dream, someone always seemed to be talking in her ear: "Why don't you start from the 17th floor? Or even 16, 18? Obviously there was a moment when you doubted the efficiency, why don't you trust your intuition?" ?!"
There was eerie darkness in the dream, Wu Changtong couldn't see clearly, and he didn't know where the sharp question came from.She backed away while defending herself: "I didn't know it was the 17th floor, I really didn't know... If I had known, I would have run there right from the start! Maybe Qingqing wouldn't be hurt so badly, I won't be a child anymore..."
Within a few minutes of rushing upstairs, Wu Changtong did have various doubts in his mind.
[What if the investigation starts from the 15th floor, and Qingqing is located on the 89th and [-]th floors? 】
[Conversely, starting from the 19th floor, Qingqing is located at 56, what should I do? 】
[What if it's 17? 】
Strictly speaking, this is not an intuition, but a variety of possibilities imagined by people in a panic.From the perspective of probability, whatever you choose is the same; but from the perspective of the result, the time difference is 10 minutes faster.
That voice kept asking Wu Changtong: "Why not 17? Why is your intuition so inaccurate?!"
"I didn't do it on purpose..." Wu Changtong cried in his dream.
She continued to retreat, not noticing the road conditions behind her, and then stepped on the ground and fell into the abyss.It was pitch black in front of her eyes, and she didn't know who to call for help.
"Did you sleep well? Do you need me to bring you a pillow?" A serious voice almost rang in my ear.Then the desk shook violently, and Wu Changtong jumped up in shock, and it took two seconds for him to regain his senses.
Mary stood right in front of her, staring at her sharply.The classmates also looked back at her, both sympathetic and gloating.
Wu Changtong blushed and said, "I'm sorry..."
Mary said: "Do you think you are so good that you don't have to study in my class? You have studied in China for four years as an undergraduate. You might as well study here for a month. And now you are even sleeping in class, I've never seen such a lack of effort and self-importance like you."
Wu Changtong could only continue to apologize: "I'm sorry, my friend has been sick recently, I have to take pictures in the hospital..."
Before she finished speaking, Mary slapped the desk loudly again, and said: "Friends are not an excuse for all mistakes. You came here to study, not to take care of your friends. The focus of your life is your friend." Is it? I see that you are quite proud when you talk in the bar. Do you think that you can make money with your professional level? Chinese Fengshui master... the name of the Chinese is really useful, thank you Born in a good country."
Wu Changtong was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that Mary was talking about the music restaurant.
She has been there?So what does she think of her changes?
Wu Changtong felt uneasy, and inevitably looked forward to praise.But just by looking at the other party's expression, it is impossible to have a positive view...
Mary looked at her and shook her head, showing an unteachable expression, and said: "If you can't stay awake, then I suggest you go to the playground and run ten laps, and then stand at the end of the classroom to listen to the class. In this class When you're done, come find me in my office and we'll have a good chat about your attitude."
Mary always said one thing, and Wu Zhangtong looked around the classroom and knew that this sentence was an order, not a discussion.Resigned to her fate, she tidied up her things, entrusted the classmates at the next table to take care of them, and then walked out of the classroom like a bereaved dog.
She literally went to the playground and ran ten laps, trying to get that nightmare out of her mind as she ran.
But the voice still asked her, "Why didn't you know it was 17?"
The four numbers 1708 are deeply engraved in Wu Changtong's head, like a nightmare.After running ten laps, she returned to the classroom panting, and stood upright against the wall as Mary ordered.
The class is still going on, but it has come to the end stage. All the excellent works have been displayed. Mary asks a question on the podium: "Talk about your favorite work."
Before the corporal's childlike breath was smooth, Mary called her name: "Kid, you answer."
Sleeping in the first half of class and running in the second half of class, Wu Changtong couldn't answer anything, so he had to apologize.
Mary criticized again: "Running when it's time to learn, and catching up afterwards will only get twice the result with half the effort. I hope you can remember this lesson."
If you don't sleep in class, you won't be punished.Wu Changtong knew that he had made a mistake first, so he didn't argue.
As soon as the voice fell, the get out of class bell rang.The students packed up their things and left in twos and threes, and patted Wu Changtong on the shoulder sympathetically, but she could only force a smile.
She walked to Mary's side and said, "I didn't have a correct study attitude, sorry."
Mary took one look at her and said, "Do you know why I asked you here?"
"I went to the music restaurant you remodeled. That restaurant was named as a Chinese Fengshui master, so I wanted to see who she was, who she was, and what she had in her belly. I didn't expect it, but what I saw was It's such rubbish. Do you think you are strong enough to take on the job alone? Do you know that your arrangement is too prominent for the sound of the music, which disturbs the normal conversation and meal of the guests. During this time, The traffic in the restaurant has dropped significantly. It can be said that you killed the restaurant."
"I know that most of you international students are short of money. I don't mind if you use this major to make money. This is the ultimate goal of most of you who come to me to study, but I don't want you to be self-defeating." The first half of the sentence Mary They were all spoken in English, except that the last four words were changed to Chinese, and the words were spoken in a correct way.
Wu Changtong felt his face was hot, as if he had been slapped four times.She became more and more ashamed, but only said: "I'm sorry..."
It's true that the restaurant owner tricked her, but she's certainly complacent, isn't she?She didn't think she had a position to make an excuse, let alone Mary wouldn't accept an excuse.
Only then did Mary's expression soften a little, and she said, "I also recently took on a restaurant design job, and I need to look for inspiration across the city. You will come home late these few nights, and go to various restaurants and bars with me Take a look."
Wu Changtong thought of the pale Li Yuqing in the hospital, and subconsciously wanted to refuse.
Mary said, "Is it about your friend again? Are you living your life for her?"
The four numbers 1708 flashed across Wu Changtong's mind, and she asked Mary, "Am I always making wrong decisions?"
Mary gave her a meaningful look and said, "Say hello to your friend for me."
Wu Changtong did not respond to Mary immediately. When he arrived at the hospital that night, he explained the whole thing to Li Yuqing, and finally asked her opinion.
Li Yuqing was wearing a hospital gown, and her face became paler.After listening, she asked: "Will you still come to the hospital to take care of me?"
Wu Changtong said, "Come over when you're done."
Li Yuqing then said considerately: "Then... that's fine."
For some reason, Wu Changtong always felt distressed when looking at Li Yuqing, so he patted her head and said, "Don't wait for me."
Li Yuqing was going to be hospitalized, and when Wu Changtong was away, she played with Lego by herself or with the nurse sister.The nurse sister likes her very much, and everyone gets along well.
Wu Changtong finally realized the hardships of taking on outsourced work for his mentor. Mary took her around and visited five or six stores in one night. Each bar or restaurant had a different style. She also needed photography equipment to objectively record all the situations and organize them into a summary after returning home. Watch, waiting for Mary's spot check the next day.
Fortunately, she has been a gun sister for several years, and it is not a problem at all to run around for five or six hours with a camera on her back.
After Mary enters the building, the first thing she does is usually to ask Wu Changtong what she thinks.Wu Changtong usually had to think for a while, but Mary didn't urge her, just stood there and stared coldly.
When Wu Changtong finally organized his words and spoke the answer tremblingly, Mary cursed again with a half-smile: "Trash."
Wu Changtong's ability to resist blows in this area is not bad, and he did not lose confidence because of the verbal belittling, but smiled and asked: "Mary, what did I say wrong?"
Mary will comment again. Her concise and sharp words have benefited Wu Zhangtong a lot.After a few days, the harvest is greater than the previous four years.
Although Wu Zhang Tong Ranli Yuqing didn't want to wait, but every time she came home, she could still see a light that was on.
On the first day and the second day, Wu Changtong felt very warm in his heart; on the third day and the fourth day, he began to worry about Li Yuqing's body; on the fifth day, when he went back a little later, he saw Li Yuqing woke up from the sofa, rubbed his eyes and said sleepily When "you are finally back", Wu Changtong felt that this could not go on.
She asked Li Yuqing: "Why don't you sleep? Didn't I tell you to sleep well, don't wait for me?"
Maybe it was because he ran for five or six hours with the camera on his shoulders, and was so belittled by Mary that his soul was broken. Wu Changtong's tone was not very good, and he seemed a little blunt.
Li Yuqing narrowed her eyes and smiled, waved her hands and said, "Okay, I'll sleep next time."
Li Yuqing's expression was too accommodating... Wu Changtong noticed something strange, and when he wanted to ask, he found that Li Yuqing had already stood up and went to the bedroom, his back looked very depressed.
Wu Changtong stopped her: "Hey..."
Li Yuqing turned her head and said with pure eyes, "Tongtong, what's wrong?"
Wu Changtong hesitated for a while, but just said: "...good night."
She came back too late, Li Yuqing really couldn't wait any longer.
Later, the light in the living room was always on, but Li Yuqing herself fell asleep.
Wu Changtong went to the bedroom to look a few times, and found that she was breathing smoothly and sleeping peacefully, presumably she had listened to her own words.
Wu Changtong left the room with some relief, not noticing the slowly opening eyes behind him.
☆, sleep or not
For half a month, Wu Changtong visited bars and restaurants in the city with Mary, and the consumption during this period was of course AA.
Looking at the bill, Wu Changtong was glad that Mary was not the kind of teacher who took advantage of the students, but at the same time felt that the bank. bank. card seemed to be a lot lighter.Precious is precious, and when a card isn't that expensive, it's not that heavy.
In the past half a month, Wu Changtong didn't even have time to rest on weekends, and was forced to cancel the once-a-week casual shopping with Li Yuqing.Li Yuqing obediently did not protest, and even told her sensiblely: "Be careful."
Wu Changtong always felt that there was something strange, but he couldn't tell where it was.
Could it be that after one illness, how old was Li Yuqing?
One night it rained heavily, and after Maryy took Wu Zhangtong to a store, there was no way to transfer the traffic, so she took the holiday early.Wu Changtong returned home with difficulty and found that Li Yuqing was watching TV.
Recently popular children's cartoons are shown on TV, and the age of the audience is about six years old.Wu Changtong's question buried in his heart was finally resolved—ah, is Li Yuqing six years old?
She came back early, Li Yuqing said happily: "I came back so early today!"
Wu Changtong pointed to the lightning and thunder outside the window, and regretted: "The weather is too bad, so I can't continue. But the shop I went to today has a signature dessert. They said it was very delicious, and children like it, so I will give it to you. Bring it back, you try it?"
Li Yuqing took the box, pouted and said, "I'm not a child."
Wu Changtong said, "It's not a child, what is that?"
Li Yuqing tilted her head and thought for a while, opened the package and took a bite, then suddenly showed a particularly happy expression and said, "I'm a child!"
Wu Changtong couldn't help smiling when he saw her go back on promises because of a dessert.Every child is eager to prove that he is already an adult, but in front of the things he is interested in, he will always show his childlike side.
Wu Changtong said, "Adults can eat it too."
Li Yuqing's expression became a little tangled, and after a while, she reluctantly handed the dessert to Wu Changtong, and said, "Okay, then I'll give you a taste...two."
She thought Wu Changtong was looking for her to beg for food.
Wu Changtong didn't expect Li Yuqing to have such a reaction at all. She was not interested in this dessert, but she was very interested in "the dessert Li Yuqing fed herself", so she opened her mouth and took a small bite.
The very, very small bite caused Li Yuqing, the food protector, to take the initiative to say: "Take another bite! It's delicious!"
Wu Changtong shook his head and said, "Then do you want to sleep with me today?"
After Li Yuqing fell ill and was hospitalized, the two of them didn't share the same bed much.When he was admitted to the hospital, he had a single bed. After he was discharged from the hospital, Wu Changtong started a hard life of moving bricks. For some reason, the two of them naturally slept in separate beds.
Now that Wu Changtong asked about this sentence, he even felt a little nostalgic.
Li Yuqing tilted her head again and asked, "Is it okay?"
Wu Changtong asked curiously: "You used to sneak into my room, but now that you are more familiar, why did you ask for my permission instead?"
Li Yuqing said: "I didn't know you well before?"
This sentence seemed to have some meaning, Wu Changtong was taken aback for a moment, and said, "I said 'more'."
Li Yuqing said "Oh", then lowered her head and said, "Then I'll sleep alone."
At this moment, Wu Changtong suddenly noticed a discordant aura in Li Yuqing... It was as if she had two temperaments of a child and a girl at the same time.These two temperaments blended together so wonderfully that Wu Changtong suddenly couldn't figure out what Li Yuqing was thinking.
She seems to be very concerned about "familiarity", but she seems to emphasize the word "before".
Before... which was before?
Wu Changtong was thinking about something in his heart, but he blurted out, "Why?"
"You want me to grow up quickly, so I want to be an adult." Li Yuqing replied.
Wu Changtong was stunned.
What's the meaning?When did I hope that Li Yuqing would grow up soon?
Wait, what is "growing up" to Li Yuqing?
So all the compromises, concessions, and cuteness these days are all because Li Yuqing thinks she wants her to be sensible?
Agreeing to let myself and Mary visit the spot at night; turn on the lights and wait for me to go home; obediently go back to the room to sleep first; and decide to sleep alone.
For Li Yuqing now, it must be very difficult to do this.She is an insecure child, and now she wants to try to be independent, just to meet the expectations of others - Wu Changtong.
When she's alone in the hospital, when she's sitting in the living room waiting, when she's forcing herself to sleep...does she feel bad?
But it doesn't have to be... I want you to feel free to express your feelings without regard for anyone's attitude, including mine.
If you want to be a child, then be a child; if you want to be an adult, then be an adult.
I want you to be free.
