Taste

"So in the end the heroine went abroad?"

"The blood in the last scene really made my scalp tingle."

The passage out of the theater was dark and narrow, Yanhan regretted not pulling Runyun to leave later, now the two of them were almost pushed away by the people behind.

Asking Runyun to go ahead, Yanhan deliberately walked slowly to resist the flow of people, and asked with a frown, "Is your leg okay?"

The voice was drowned out by the discussion of plot fans around, Runyun smiled softly: "What?"

Yanhan pulled her down a little harder, and brought her close to her ear: "Can your legs walk at this speed?"

"It's okay, just a little way, don't think I'm so fragile." Runyun smiled and continued to "gnaw my ears".

The two didn't notice that they were still holding hands.

"Did you understand what they said just now?" Runyun recalled the last scene of the movie, feeling a little puzzled in his heart.

"Ah? The last scene, I haven't thought about it yet, let's go through the analysis when we get home." Yanhan quickly concealed the fact that he was distracted in the second half of the journey, of course, it's a little bit now, looking down and seeing the two of them is extremely natural Holding the hands, the cheeks are a little hot.

Runyun had already realized that this kind of physical contact should just go with the flow. After all, the two of them tacitly agreed to each other now.

She was planning another important thing in her mind.

"What are your plans for tomorrow?"

"Mu Chen will be transferred to the branch office next month. I have been packing her luggage for the past few days. I might go to help her."

"...Let's go, I'm hungry, go home and give me something to eat."

Hearing the reversal of the tone of the two sentences before and after, Yanhan was taken aback for a moment, then smiled brightly at Runyun who suddenly had a cold face, and gently held the hand he was holding with the other hand, "Okay, okay, she is My important friend, and I don’t just help out all day.”

Runyun didn't answer, but leaned on crutches and walked forward imposingly, secretly exerting force with the hand he was holding.

It was not yet nine o'clock in the evening, and Runyun Lai refused to get up on Yanhan's bed.

"Why did you come to my room?" To Runyun who cruelly "abandoned" her two weeks ago, Yanhan expressed that acting like a baby is useless.

"I came to play with you, who told you to go back to the room so early, it's too boring for me to sit on the sofa alone." Runyun put down his crutches, and lay down on the quilt with a smile.

"Go back to your room and play. You can sleep when you're tired." Yanhan quickly took the second round of resistance.

"Then I'll play with you here, can't I go to bed when I'm tired?" Runyun lay on his side, clasped his hands together, and looked at Yanhan expectantly.

"...Okay, okay, then, you sit up a little, it's uncomfortable to be on the side of the bed." The outer front line was breached.

"Hmm~" Runyun smiled and leaned forward.

Why didn't I realize before that Sister Yanhan, who is always gentle and decent on the outside and has a generous demeanor, but who is always estranged and indifferent in reality, can't help acting like a baby?And she can always get the most appropriate protection by her side, she will always leave a private space, just ask and don't interfere, waiting for herself to speak.I really want to see her smile!Although it is not the kind of sunny, innocent smile, nor is it full of magic laugh, when she smiles, her eyes are bent, full of pampering and tenderness, her lips curled to both sides, showing a very beautiful smile the arc of...

"Cough, is there something on my face?" Yanhan looked at Runyun, who suddenly lost his mind and stared at her, a little too much for the burning in her eyes, which has happened several times today.

"It's nothing, I just like the way you smile. I didn't choose a good movie for this afternoon." Runyun blinked and suppressed the enthusiasm, and complained that the movie in the afternoon was too sad.

Yanhan watched Runyun, who was making complaints vigorously, make a small movement naturally, put his head on his lap, and specially adjusted the most comfortable position.

"You are..."

The "wicked man" hit back first: "You used the pillow as a backrest, I want to find something to rest my head on, okay, okay, read a book quickly, I won't disturb you."

"Hmph, I'm afraid I'll disturb your reading, the books are all down." Yanhan tried to fight back.

"It doesn't matter whether I read the book or not, the main thing is to be comfortable on it." Runyun calmly straightened the book in his hand and flipped through it casually.

The Jedi counterattack completely failed, Yanhan no longer struggled, and looked down at the book.

A quiet room.

An hour later, Runyun's eyelids fought hard, and the book failed to hold firmly, and it fell directly on his face.

"Hmm..." It hurts so much, it hits the bridge of the nose.

Yanhan couldn't help laughing, and teased: "You, you, you still said you're not tired, you were dozing off half an hour ago." After laughing enough, he made up a gentle knife, "Does it hurt?"

"Whoever told you to just patronize reading and chat with me a few words, I won't be sleepy." Runyun sat up puffed up, and made a gesture to leave.

"Okay, okay, don't be angry, you continue to sit, what do you want to talk about?" Yanhan smiled happily, and took her hand.

Runyun sat where he was and thought for a while, "Actually... I don't know either."

"Then I'll ask?" Yanhan tentatively seized the initiative.

"You ask."

Yanhan spoke slowly, paying attention to Runyun's expression, intending to change the subject if something was wrong. "I want to ask why you haven't contacted your family? I... I know that your aunt's death makes you very sad, but no matter what, your leg injury is not serious, and uncle should know... Well, I don't I know if I have made clear the doubts in my heart, but I feel that you have been avoiding this question, and this question can easily dominate your emotions..."

Yanhan's voice became smaller and smaller, she didn't know how to use euphemistic language to persuade Runyun to look directly at the problem in her heart.The relationship between them faintly took a step further, so tonight I mustered up the courage to ask the doubts in my heart.If Runyun keeps silent tonight, she will never ask again.

Of course, she really wanted to hear the answer.On the one hand, Runyun told her the answer, showing that the further development of the relationship between the two was the result of the interaction of the two parties, not her self-indulgence; on the other hand, it was the first time that she plucked up the courage to listen to Runyun's inner voice.

She waited with bated breath, the room was silent.

Not long after, Runyun leaned on Yanhan's lap again, but didn't look at her, and only heard a low voice: "Actually, I don't know, the anger and depression in my heart are aimed at myself, Still Dad."

"Last year, my mother suddenly fainted at home because she couldn't breathe, and was diagnosed with advanced pulmonary fibrosis."

"...a disease that is so easy to detect...it was not discovered until the late stage."

Runyun's voice couldn't help choking, and he raised his hand to wipe the moisture from the corners of his eyes.

"I flew back from abroad and stayed with her. But within two weeks, the students in the project team began to ask me when I would go back. I said that I wanted to wait for my mother to be more stable. They just said that I should try to go as soon as possible. After all, the project is officially launched, and there are many things to do.”

"After a few days, my mother said that her condition...has improved, and even...for a period of time, she can breathe normally and evenly without relying on medical equipment. I also... specifically asked the doctor, and the doctor said that she...has improved .”

The voice choked up even more, Yanhan roughly understood, turned Runyun's face and hugged her in his arms, "Speak slowly, take a deep breath."

"I continued to observe for two days, and it seemed to be true, so I flew back. Every day I had to talk to my mother on the phone, and every two days I asked for video, and I was still afraid. But within a week, I found that every day My dad answered the phone and told me at first that my mother was undergoing surgery, and later said that she was asleep. But every day I counted ten o’clock in the morning or four o’clock in the afternoon in China.”

"There must be a problem, so I found a relative who I usually have some contact with but I don't know very well to say, no, I don't need to use it at all. She said in the first sentence, Xiao Xu, my condolences..."

"You know? I wish I didn't see my mother for the last time. They tried so hard to hide it from me, but I'm not a child, a child anymore. I hate why I didn't choose to stay for two more days, obviously I don't have to be so anxious back."

Runyun pressed her face tightly to Yanhan's abdomen, her clothes were soaked with tears, and the hot temperature hurt Yanhan, but she could only touch Runyun's head to give her encouragement and courage.

"When I went back again, another three days had passed. I wanted to question my dad. Although I guessed the answer, they must have heard the phone call with my classmates. They wanted me to return to normal studies, so the joint doctor hid it from me. But when I saw..."

"Seeing him..."

"It has always been warm and tidy, and it has become full of stubble, and the suit and shirt are all wrinkled, so I gave up..."

"But once I think about how hard it was for her to breathe heavily behind her back in the last few days when she got along with her mother, she could pretend to be normal in front of me..."

"I felt very uncomfortable in my heart. I was angry but I didn't know what to be angry about. I didn't know what to hate, and I didn't know how to face my father. So I helped him finish the remaining things... and went back to school."

Runyun hugged Yanhan's waist tightly, and the negative emotions suppressed in his heart were almost vented from the torn crack, but the heartache and regret made the tears unstoppable, and it took a long time to stop.

Yanhan just hugged her quietly and patted her on the back, very patiently.

On the other hand, Runyun was embarrassed, propped up her upper body with her hands, and broke away from Yanhan's embrace, "I, I really don't want to cry, I'm not so sad now... I suddenly mentioned it, just, I can't control it."

Yanhan looked down at the big "world map" on her clothes, slightly raised her lips in a beautiful arc, held Runyun's face with both hands, and gently wiped away the remaining tears on her face.The eyes were still red and swollen, and the eyes were wet.

"The past is like smoke, it just sounds nice, you are not the only one who can't do it, just remember it, but don't keep negative and pessimistic emotions together, and suppress yourself."

Runyun couldn't help blinking his eyes lightly, his heart trembling, just now the person in front of him actually dropped a kiss on his right eyelid, so light, as gentle as holding her fragile object.

"Do you want to hear from me?"

Yanhan watched Runyun's eyes slowly widen, surprise and shyness covered the sadness in his eyes, thinking to himself that this kiss was worth it.I suddenly wanted to share my memories with her.

"Hmm..." Her usually heroic eyebrows were frowned like a little daughter-in-law.

Yanhan laughed softly: "Well, I organize language."

She briefly talked about her childhood experience.

"When I was in elementary school, neither of my parents had time to send me to school or pick me up home, so they let me temporarily stay at my grandparents' house close to the school while I was studying. At that time, two old people opened a noodle restaurant, and I helped The noodle shop does things."

Runyun was shocked, he had never heard of someone helping the family in elementary school, "So the reason why you make noodles so delicious now is because...?"

"Yes, I learned all the craftsmanship from my grandparents. My grandfather was famous for making handmade noodles at the time, and the whole town was famous. My grandma is especially good at frying simmered dumplings. You know that scorpion dumplings often put in noodles in the south are not only minced meat, but also meat. Man."

Runyun's face was full of shock, completely forgetting that he was still in sadness 5 minutes ago, unable to extricate himself.

Yanhan cleared his throat in satisfaction and continued: "My parents only picked me up to live in elementary school during the winter and summer vacations. It's not considered a house, they just go to various cram schools during the day, and then pick me up to sleep in the evening."

"After entering junior high school, the school was closer to home, and I grew up. My parents bought me a bicycle and picked me up by myself. Only during holidays can I go to my grandparents' house. It's funny..."

Runyun couldn't laugh at all, and quietly waited for the next sentence.

"After I came back to live, my parents quarreled more and more fiercely, and they couldn't stand each other, so they divorced."

Runyun was shocked again, "Wait, wait, Aunt Zhong and your dad are divorced?"

"No." Yanhan rubbed Runyun's face, "Aunt Zhong is not my biological mother, but my father remarried later. But she is really, really good to me."

"My biological mother is a very good person, but because she married my dad early and had me at an immature age, she sacrificed her ideals. Later, my dad succeeded in starting a business and became more and more busy. The conflict between the two is getting deeper and deeper. I never hated her, but I did hate her when I was a child. I always felt that she imposed her unfulfilled dreams on me. She didn’t understand what I really wanted. Let me experience the warmth of being at home, always quarreling."

"Later, I chose to follow my dad and met my current mother. She is a very enthusiastic and cheerful person who favors me unconditionally. As long as she has time, she will drive a luxury car to pick me up from school. It is very funny. A red car Off-road, she drove me wild. She helped me turn down all the cram schools I didn't like, and took me around in my free time. Most importantly, she always convinced my busy old man Dad played with us. I still remember what she said before, "Xie, let me tell you, don't make excuses for meetings, you have to spend four days a month with your daughter, even if you are soaking in hot springs We have a video meeting, and we have to go to the hot spring with us, so I’m lucky.”

"As I grow older, I understand more and understand more, and gradually let go of a lot. I also know that no matter which mother they are, they are all love for me. There is no right or wrong in love, but what is suitable for people. It’s inappropriate. After understanding this truth, I let go of all my grudges.”

"There was a year of winter vacation at the university. She came back to me and apologized to me. I asked her if she was happy now. She said that she was studying abroad, fulfilled her dream back then, and re-established a family. I feel ashamed of me. I said to her, "You are living happily. For me, it is the best apology. I have forgiven her long ago." Then she cried like a child and persuaded her for a long time. Stay." When Yanhan said this, he couldn't help laughing, his eyes were a little moist.

"The past, especially the unforgettable things, we hope that it will disappear like smoke. The best way is to remember it with a normal heart and try to find the answer."

Runyun approached, biting her beautifully curving red lips.
