The shopping mall has started playing music to drive people away gently.
Sun Yuhe put his hands in his pockets and followed behind Xu Hui with a dissatisfied expression.
Originally, I came to the pedestrian street to play video games, but the old man suddenly felt bored halfway, so he left a group of friends and came out by himself. Sun Yuhe didn't know what was wrong with him, so he gave up the game console he had waited for for a long time and followed him out, only to find out that he had gone shopping in a shopping mall.
"Are you tired or not?" Sun Yuhe urged Xu Hui from behind, "Go back quickly, Dahai and I have an appointment to grab ten, and it's about to start."
Xu Hui's eyes were attracted by a crystal jewelry store, and the little swans in the counter were shining under the light.
"Hey!" Seeing Xu Hui's indifference, Sun Yuhe shouted dissatisfied.
Xu Hui took a closer look, and said indifferently: "You go back, I didn't ask you to follow."
"Hey, I'm talking about you!" Sun Yuhe was speechless, pointing at Xu Hui with one finger. "Look at how fucked you are!"
Xu Hui acted as if he had never heard of it, and said to the salesperson waiting beside him, "Does your model have anything other than swans?"
Xu Hui was already white, but under the strong lights in the store, he looked like a transparent ornament.
The young salesperson is happy to serve.
"Excuse me, what else does it mean—"
"Other animals, don't want swans." Xu Hui thought for a while, "Do you have ducks?"
Sun Yuhe sneered beside him, "You're starting to be hypocritical again, aren't you? Who's a duck? I'll fucking think you're a duck."
Xu Hui squinted at him, and said lightly, "Don't use ducks on men."
Sun Yu paused, then grinned, "You said you were lewd or not, who was thinking about that?"
Xu Hui laughed cynically, and the salesperson next to them who was not a few years older than them blushed slightly.
Xu Hui looked over, and the salesperson stumbled and said, "No, I'm sorry, there is no duck shape for the time being. But there are bears and rabbits, do you want to take a look?"
Sun Yuhe said impatiently from behind: "Just the swan, buy it quickly and leave."
Xu Hui was full of patience, and said in harmony with the salesperson: "Help me get it."
"Please follow me." The salesman led Xu Hui inside, and Sun Yuhe was heartbroken behind him.
"It's stuck in it, you're completely stuck in it. My God! No one will believe it if you tell it. Your face will be blinded for nothing. You're a coward with a strong outsider!"
Xu Hui didn't take it seriously, and snorted, "Do you want to buy something for Keiko?"
"You take the money?"
The salesperson put the bear and the rabbit on the counter for Xu Hui to see. Xu Hui looked at them and said, "Okay, which one do you like? I'll buy it."
Sun Yuhe choked for a moment, gritted his teeth, and looked at Xu Hui's earnest expression on choosing a gift, feeling inexplicably angry, but before he let it out, he felt sad again in a blink of an eye.
The boy's heart writhed in his chest, and finally he went over and kicked Xu Hui.
Xu Hui turned around, "Looking for a fight?"
Sun Yuhe pointed at the rabbit, "That's all, don't pick."
"This is good?"
"Yes." Sun Yuhe agreed casually.
Xu Hui nodded to the salesperson, and the salesperson took the bunny package and issued the invoice.
Going out with the bag in the store, Sun Yuhe asked Xu Hui: "It's been a long time since you asked her to come out."
Xu Hui: "They have a midterm exam today, and they were preparing for the exam before."
"Preparing for the exam? Is she studying well?"
"have no idea."
Sun Yuhe: "Which school?"
The automatic door was not very sensitive, Xu Hui raised his foot and shook it, the door opened, and the two of them left the mall.
"have no idea."
"Why don't you ask."
"It's not important to ask what that is for."
"Then what have you been doing together?" Sun Yuhe asked, looking at him with evil eyes, "Ah, what are you doing? Did you get straight to the point?"
Xu Hui snorted, "I'm too lazy to talk to you..."
"What's the matter, are you going to have a long time with her?"
Xu Hui shrugged.
The two lighted a cigarette each at the entrance of the mall.
The sun is about to set, and in late autumn, the wind is getting colder every day.
"I plan to go home in a few days." Xu Hui whispered.
Sun Yuhe looked over, "Your dad is back?"
"Ok."
When it comes to Xu Hui's family matters, Sun Yuhe's words are strict.
"Then go back and have a look... Are you coming back tonight?"
"have no idea."
"Don't take it too seriously." Sun Yuhe curled his lips, "You two old ladies, you can do whatever you want. Your brother's business is not—"
"Okay." Xu Hui frowned, lowered his head, and flicked the cigarette.
Sun Yuhe pursed his lips.
Every time he mentioned family matters, he always felt that Xu Hui was a little moody.
Both fell silent.
After quieting down, Xu Hui's sense of loneliness in need of help became more apparent.
Sun Yuhe didn't know how to help him.
They all wanted to help him, but no one could find an entry point. This occasionally made him feel a little powerless. Xu Hui was very good to his friends, but no one knew how to help him.
"Ahe..." Xu Hui looked at the ground, the hair on his forehead fell down, covering his eyes.
Sun Yuhe looked up quickly, "What's wrong?"
Xu Hui: "I want to ask my dad for some money..."
Sun Yuhe: "What money?"
Xu Hui said lightly: "I don't want her to work every day, I want to give her some money to see a doctor for her sister."
Sun Yuhe was taken aback, and said with a little emotion: "Do you like it so much?"
After Xu Hui listened to the question, he didn't answer right away. After thinking about it carefully, he finally let out a soft laugh.
That smile was as short as the red clouds in the sky, fleeting, but the lingering warmth was still there.
Sun Yuhe's hand holding the cigarette trembled involuntarily at that moment, as if the problem that had been troubling him had been unintentionally solved.
No matter what method is used, someone has found that breakthrough.
Xu Hui stubbed out his cigarette, raised his head, looked at Sun Yuhe and said, "I thought about it before, anyway, my family can't accommodate me, and I don't want to go back. I'm an adult now, and I plan to ask my dad for 500,000 yuan." , borrow it, and pay him back later.”
"What about finishing the money?"
"After she graduates, let's see if she wants to go to college. If she does, I'll go to her city. If not, we'll stay here."
"Huh? Go to another city? What are you doing?"
"Do whatever."
"Can you live!?" Sun Yuhe's eyes widened involuntarily, and he slapped hard. "Is it okay for you to see your own nature clearly? You are a fucking young master. Five hundred thousand is enough for me to live. Whether I can last a year for you is the question!"
Xu Hui tilted his head, looked at Sun Yuhe, and asked slightly suspiciously:
"Young master... I am like this?"
Sun Yuhe gritted his teeth, he couldn't see Xu Hui like this, and felt aggrieved.
"Ahe, believe it or not, I am not the young master's fate." Xu Hui was carrying a gift bag.
"Then what are your plans when you leave home?"
Xu Hui was also a little confused, "I'm slowly thinking..." There are many uncertainties in the future, but he still tried his best to cheer up and said, "Let's take one step at a time."
Sun Yuhe clicked his tongue twice, "Yo, it's different when you have a girl. Well, it's enough to have what you say."
Xu Hui took out his mobile phone and said, "I'm going to find her, we have an appointment to meet at night."
Sun Yuhe: "Then I'll go back first."
Xu Hui was aroused by the conversation just now, nodded and said goodbye.
The closing bell for the last door rang, and the invigilator clapped his hands on the podium.
"The students at the last table collect the test papers and answer sheets, and the other students should not move."
In the middle and late November, the north wind began to bite.
The flowers are withered and the leaves are falling.
The clothes to wear are the same as the exercises to do, more and more every day.
In late autumn, the sky is always black and blue.
With her schoolbag on her back, Bai Lu pulled up the collar of her school uniform to cover half of her face, and walked out of the school with her head sullen.
There were footsteps behind him and he was tapped on the shoulder.
"where to?"
Wu Hanwen's questions became more and more concise.
Bai Lu said, "After the exam, go out for a walk."
Wu Hanwen: "Don't go."
Bai Lu didn't speak, and Wu Hanwen was also carrying his schoolbag, and said in a low voice, "I know, the more you say the same thing, the less powerful it will be."
Bai Lu: "No..."
"I'll say it even if I don't have the strength." Wu Hanwen looked at her seriously, "Bai Lu, don't go to Xu Hui, you don't understand him."
"What do I need to know?"
"Have you already…"
"No."
Wu Hanwen sighed, and said, "Bai Lu, you can't make this kind of mistake."
"What is wrong?"
"It's already a mistake for you to go to him!" Wu Hanwen suddenly said sharply, "You're so smart, I don't believe you don't understand, you should have understood that this matter is meaningless, why are you procrastinating?"
Bai Lu didn't say a word.
Wu Hanwen couldn't bear it anymore.
"you like-"
"I said no."
The cold wind blows like a wilderness.
"I knew it... I knew it..." Wu Hanwen whispered with trembling voice, "Xu Hui is too... I knew that sooner or later..."
"Wu Hanwen." Bai Lu narrowed her eyes and said word by word, "I said no."
"Then go and make it clear to him!" Wu Hanwen was full of confidence, "If you don't, then make it clear. Bai Lu, we are different from him. You are wasting time with him now, and he dragged you to death. You will lose more than you gain!"
Bai Lu: "I understand what you said."
She looked down.
If it goes on like this, many things will change.
In fact, right now, many things are not what they were originally. She had to admit that what Wu Hanwen said made sense.
This person is too heavy, she has to use a lot of strength to drag him, but she dare not do this.
"What do you know!?" Wu Hanwen said excitedly, "If you understand, don't talk to him, okay?"
After a while of silence, Bai Lu said, "You don't need to provoke me, I know what to do."
"you want-"
"I've thought about it." Bai Lu's voice was very soft, "I've thought about it, these few days... I'll get it right."
She had indeed thought about it.
Didn't tell him anything, didn't explain anything, just cut off an unclear...
Wu Hanwen didn't hear Bai Lu's words at all, and kept talking. "You don't know, you don't know, I told you months ago, you shouldn't—"
He said to himself, Bai Lu turned around and left with her schoolbag on her back.
The words came to a halt, Wu Hanwen looked at her back, gritted his teeth, and half-closed his eyes, as if he had made up his mind.
After taking a taxi home, when Xu Hui saw Bai Lu, she stood with her head down in front of the bushes in front of the house.
The flowers had long since disappeared, and he didn't know what she was so fascinated by.
Xu Hui walked over quietly, originally intending to go around behind her and scare her loudly, but when he actually stood in front of the small figure, he changed his mind again, opened his arms, and hugged Bai Lu from behind.
Bai Lu turned her head, Xu Hui tilted his head to look at her.
"Not afraid."
Bai Lu pushed him away.
Xu Hui stood up straight, and said as he walked home: "If I knew it earlier, I would have yelled to scare you."
After entering the room, Xu Hui fell down on the sofa.
"So tired..."
Bai Lu went to the kitchen and poured two glasses of water out. Xu Hui was still lying on the sofa, but he turned his face upside down.
Bai Lu stood on the edge of the sofa, "I'm going to fall down."
"..."
Xu Hui pulled Bai Lu to sit down too, holding a water glass in one hand and handing the delicate paper bag to Bai Lu in the other.
"Gift."
Bai Lu put the bag aside, "Drink the water."
Xu Hui took a sip of water, paused, and said to Bai Lu, "Did you do well in the exam?"
Bai Lu: "It's okay."
Xu Hui: "Can you be admitted to university?"
Bai Lu looked at Xu Hui: "What are you doing?"
Xu Hui: "Nothing, just ask."
"I do not know either… "
After a while, Xu Hui asked hesitantly, "Xiaobai, how much is your sister short of surgery?"
Bai Lugan sat, looking at the corner of the coffee table.
Xu Hui asked beside her, "Huh? How much is the difference?"
Her voice couldn't be softer.
"Not much."
Xu Hui seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "That's good. I don't know if I can get too many. If it's less, how much would it cost? One hundred thousand? Two hundred thousand?"
Bai Lu rolled her eyes, but happened to see the gift box on the side.
Get up instantly.
There seemed to be nowhere to rest in this room.
"What's wrong?" Xu Hui nestled on the sofa, "What if—"
Bai Lu blinked suddenly, Xu Hui stopped talking. "What's the matter?"
"Xu Hui."
"Ok?"
Bai Lu looked into his eyes and said in a low voice, "I'm leaving first, I'll come back in a few days, I have something to tell you."
"What? Oh, yes... I'm going to go home in a few days." Xu Hui smiled, "I also have something to tell you."
Bai Lu picked up her schoolbag, "Okay, let's talk about it later, I'll go back first."
She left in a hurry, but Xu Hui didn't seem to hear her shout from behind.
Xu Hui didn't know why, so when he returned to the house, he suddenly saw the gift box on the sofa.
Walk over, pick up the bag, and put it on the coffee table.
"Nothing is taken away..."
