42. Unpredictable things

Finally, they gave up the idea of ​​returning to school early. When they heard the news, their parents were obviously relieved.Dad is even more cute, he directly asked me what I wanted to eat, and he made it for me.So for that meal, I ate the belly-wrapped chicken that I had been coveting for a long time.

I didn't tell Xu Yi's mother that she wanted me to get in touch with boys more and "find a partner" for me. It was all over, and talking would only increase my troubles.It's about the relationship between the two of us, Xu Yi asked me if I wanted to reduce the number of exchanges, I said forget it, it reduces my numbness and makes me more suspicious, so I can do whatever I want.

The train tickets are booked, one week in advance, and there are still many things to deal with when we go back.On the day the ticket was booked, I went to play with Xu Yi.She didn't go out to wait for me in advance as usual, and only after entering the door did she realize that she was not the only one at home.Her best friend is sitting on the small sofa in her room, let's call her Axia.

Seeing her sitting on the sofa that was almost my exclusive seat, I felt a little uncomfortable.I didn't look at Xu Yi, afraid that she would see my small thoughts.So I sat on the chair in front of her desk and asked Axia with a smile, "Why did you come back at this time this year?"

Axia is a cute girl with a round face and a pretty smile. She said: "I didn't plan to come back, I wanted to go to the internship directly. But Xu Yi said that she is going to X City for a while, so can I not come back?" , at least give her a trip." Then she turned to Xu Yi and said, "Hey, if you go to City X, we'll be far away, we've never been that far away before."

With a faint smile, Xu Yi said: "That's something that can't be helped. We all went our separate ways, didn't we? Didn't you abandon me too?"

"How do you say I look like a heartless person, hey, goosebumps are rising." Axia rubbed her arms exaggeratedly, and shouted in a rough voice: "Where were we talking just now?" It's unimaginable A girl who looks so cute can be so careless.It's true that people cannot be judged by their appearance, even Xu Yi's friends can't use common sense to infer.Xu Yi who was sitting in front of the bookcase did not speak.I was curious, so I asked Axia: "Where did you say it? What were you talking about before?"

"Li Zhi, of course it's the infatuated guy, otherwise who else would be. Hey, why didn't he bother you until you told me?"

Xu Yi sighed helplessly: "You are really curious, you are not afraid that curiosity will kill the cat."

"Don't be afraid, I know you won't kill me." Axia smiled confidently.I am very envious of seeing it, is this where the friendship of girlfriends for more than ten years lies, and they talk about everything.

What are you envious of, don't you have good friends? Ye Yuhan, you also have good friends for more than ten years.

Then Xu Yi sneered nervously, looked at me and said, "That's because Yu'er beat him up."

"Fuck! Yu'er, you beat Li Zhi, I heard you right, you? You have thin arms and legs, Li Zhi is 1.8 meters, how did you do it!"

I felt guilty for a while, good Xu Yi, if you say this kind of thing, you will shake it out.Poor man, who will save my image~ I wailed in my heart, but still kept smiling, looking harmless to humans and animals: "Just beat him like this. I threw him into the paddy field, pressed him into the mud and beat him."

Axia stared at me dumbfounded, and quickly turned her head to give Xu Yi a thumbs up: "As expected of your sister, tough!"

"That's that, my sister." Xu Yi laughed brazenly, and patted Axia's shoulder vigorously with a proud look, and the latter quickly held her hand with grinning teeth: "Don't trouble~"

Ah, ah, they get along so harmoniously... What kind of jealousy am I eating?

"But Xu Yi, I don't understand."

"Don't understand what?"

"It's just...Li Zhi has been chasing you for six years, and you didn't agree to him. Why did you suddenly agree? Everyone was shocked for a long time, especially...we found out that you were with him because you were with him After breaking up, this is a double crit."

"Ok?"

This... I can't talk about it, I'd better hide and watch this matter silently.

Xu Yi glanced at me, turned around and smiled and said, "I can't figure out why I agreed to him, and why did I break up?"

"Yeah!" Ah Xia's eyes lit up immediately, she nodded her head like a chicken pecking at rice, she couldn't bear to look directly at her... It seems like she's so funny again, why didn't I find her so funny before.Xu Yi had a panoramic view of my expression, couldn't help but curled up the corners of his mouth and smiled, and quickly restrained himself, looking foolish: "That's because at first I thought I could be with him, but later I found it was impossible."

"Hey, what's the explanation!"

"It means that there is someone else in my heart, and I dare not be with that person, so I chose Li Zhi. Well, I said I really want to see if I can accept him. Do you believe me? After all, he has been chasing so much. I've been bored for years."

Axia was so excited that she almost threw herself on Xu Yi: "...Uh, I believe it, you continue. You have never admitted that you have someone in your heart!! Tell me quickly! I'm only a year old If you don't go home, what happened here!"

Again, she seemed nonchalant, rubbing her fingertips, as if Xu Yi was telling someone else's story.She said: "Later, I found out that it was impossible to get along with Li Zhi as a lover. It would be unfair to him and me, so we broke up."

"Then he kept pestering him?"

"Well... Am I a scumbag?"

"Oh, how can this be called scum, this is human nature, okay, let's continue~" Axia lay on the back of the sofa, staring at Xu Yi like a wolf who saw its prey.Chill...

Xu Yi spread his hands: "Continue? It's gone."

"that's it?"

"That's it." Xu Yi said, in order to strengthen her credibility, she nodded vigorously and looked into Axia's eyes sincerely.The two looked at each other for a while, Axia retreated first, shook her head desperately and said, "I don't believe it, so I'm gone? Then what about the person in your heart? Who is that person?"

Xu Yi shook his head, and replied firmly: "I can't tell you this."

"Ah? Can't you tell me? Xu Yi, you broke my heart, you know, ah...my heart is broken..."

I hurriedly covered my eyes so as not to look at the woman...man who had exaggerated acting skills and collapsed on the sofa in distraught state.Who would have thought that this girl who doesn't play cards according to common sense would suddenly come over and grab my hand, and said earnestly with shining eyes: "Then sister, tell me, you must know!"

On the spot of the petrification, goosebumps fell all over the ground, and I stammered in fright: "Uh...this..." Damn, what should I say, of course I can't say it!

I turned my gaze to Xu Yi who was taking a lot of time to watch the joke, and it happened that Xu Yi also looked at me.There was a little more lingering in the originally plain eyes, at that moment, she smiled very gently...cough cough, but soon she returned to her original calm look, and said lazily: "Don't ask my sister, she have no idea."

"Okay, okay, I won't ask anymore," Axia let me go back to sit down discouraged, and muttered: "Really, I'm so strict with my mouth, I can't even gossip. I still can't believe me..."

Xu Yi coughed and pretended not to hear it.

I asked Xu Yi: "Where are the family members? Why didn't you see them?"

"Dad doesn't know where he went. Grandpa and grandma went to the supermarket, and my brother went to play. Mom said he was going to see a doctor..."

"...Is Aunt not feeling well?"

"I haven't been well these few days. I have a fever from time to time. I don't know what's wrong. I thought it was a cold and took medicine but it didn't work."

"That..."

Xu Yi said helplessly: "I wanted to go with her, but my mother said that Xiao Min would bring the baby over later, and let me wait at home." She shook her head, with a hint of resentment: "This Sister, it's really heartbreaking."

Then she just looked out of the window and said nothing, and she suddenly became very depressed.Although she didn't say it, the sense of powerlessness really filled the space.Axia and I looked at each other and saw helplessness in each other's eyes.She is her best friend, so she is well aware of the difficulties she has experienced since she was a child.

For nearly ten years, this man's parents were away.There are only elderly grandparents in the family, and her younger siblings are still young. She is one and a half older children. She has to take care of the family, take care of farm work, and worry about the growth of her younger siblings.All the responsibilities that should and should not be placed on her, Xu Yi who is so sensible, so understanding, and so distressing...

Except for the time at the train station, it was really the first time I saw her red eyes in junior high school.

Give me some time Xu Yi, let me grow enough to protect you enough to be your reliance.Actually, you don't have to force yourself to be so strong in front of me.But I know that if I'm not good enough, you'll be so tired all the time.But at least I can try to make you fool not worry about me now.

We stayed until the afternoon, during which time Min Xu came back.When Xu Yi mentioned the news that his mother had gone to the hospital, Xu Wen asked worriedly: "Is mom okay? I'll ask him to go see mom together."

Xu Yi shook his head: "I don't know what's going on, don't go to see my mother, it's not because she's going to the hospital, wait for her to come back."

Although she is not very sensible yet, she really cares about her mother, so Xu Yi will be a little relieved.

Today, I don’t have the opportunity to be alone with each other. We are close at hand, so we can only communicate with each other through eyes. The so-called secret glances are also true, hahaha~ what’s even more amazing is that everyone chats together to make the children laugh and laugh. In fact, the communication between me and her , it’s in the mobile phone, ahem... don’t you think this method is very good?From time to time, we raised our heads and looked at each other with a smile. In the emotions that everyone thought, we carefully exchanged each other's feelings bit by bit, and carried out some things that belonged only to us...

I told her that I went back a week earlier, and told her that the original train was still the same, after [-] pm, I still went to the capital to transfer.She said she wanted to see me off, and even wanted to take that bus with me.She knew why I chose to go to K city this time when there was a direct train to the imperial capital in this small city, and started from there.This sullen person always reveals affection without knowing it.

I knew she wanted to mend the scar between us when we went back to school last time.However, I rejected her. At this time, she really has no reason to go to that place again.Especially in the current situation, the mother who is in a state of doubt is a variable that I don't want to consider.

She also booked a ticket to City X. Coincidentally, one of her older sisters is in City X.I don't know what kind of job it is, but at least it can give her some comfort and help when she is going to that unfamiliar place.

Then Xu Yi said: "Yu'er, the future we want is getting closer and closer." I couldn't help laughing, pretending to tease that little Xu Min, smiling very...happily.Yes Xu Yi, it's getting closer and closer, I will definitely pass the exam, there is no doubt about it.

The days passed peacefully, and the day back to school was getting closer.At the beginning, we were patient so we didn't see each other every day. Later, I was busy reviewing the second paragraph, and Xu Yi was busy with family affairs, so I didn't have time to see each other every day.She said that her mother's illness was not cured, and said that it was not serious.Of course, this person couldn't bear to let her mother who had suffered enough to worry about it. She was used to family affairs, and now she provoked it again.Fortunately, it's not too much trouble, she can still come to me every few days.After getting rid of all the exhaustion, he broke into my room like a surprise attack, leaned against the table and smiled at me who had just pulled back from the book.

Then she pulled me up and took me to play badminton, bask in the sun, and play the guitar.It seems that all the troubles around us have nothing to do with us, and we don't have to worry about some things that will inevitably happen in the future.

I thought it would go on like this forever, and when I went back to school, she would go to City X.Then I was admitted to the graduate school, and I learned something and had a platform to display what I learned. She had a successful career, and the two of us finally had the strength to maintain this love.

Until two days before going back to school.A few days before I leave home, I have not been able to sleep well, always dreaming and waking up easily.That night, I tossed and turned and finally fell asleep, but I heard my parents answering the phone in a daze.It sounded anxious and shocked, and then Dad hurried out the door.The loud "bang" when the door was closed kept ringing in the dream.

In the early morning, I went out of the room feeling dizzy, and my mother in the dining room motioned for me to go over for dinner.Dejectedly, I walked over and sat down, took the bowl, and asked, "Mom, I heard you answering the phone last night. Is it my illusion?" Looking around but not seeing Dad, I wondered, "Hey? Where's Dad? ? Didn’t I dream last night, did he really go out? What happened.”

Mom sighed, her tone was very heavy: "Your aunt suddenly fell ill in the middle of the night last night, and your father sent her to the provincial capital overnight."

"Ah?" I didn't respond, "Which aunt?

"It's Xu Yi's mother." My mother gave me a strange look, as if she was saying, don't you have a good relationship with Xu Yi, why do you ask which aunt it is. .... I am not the only aunt.

Hey?

"Xu Yi's mother... aunt? This aunt?!" I stood up in shock, unbelievable, and screamed.My mother looked at me dissatisfied: "Of course it's this aunt, this time it's serious, it's said that she's already unconscious."

"What...how could..." Oh my god!The one who is always pleasant-looking, and works honestly... Uncle doesn't care about things and is playful, Xu Yi and the three siblings' tuition and living expenses are all earned by her hard work!The spiritual support of the family, the person who faced all difficulties with a smile, the aunt who showed me as my own daughter, such a kind person, how can I fall down? !

... Xu Yi, how is Xu Yi doing?

I put down the bowl, ran back to the room, picked up the mobile phone on the table, and dialed Xu Yi's number.

She didn't pick up.

Mom said outside: "Did you call Xu Yi? Don't call, she went with her last night."

I closed my eyes in pain, and Xu Yi's thin and speechless figure seemed to appear in front of my eyes, and my heart was very painful.
