Enduring the Winter

Chapter 49

Views:

night, the sky darkened.

The building in the square is 24 stories high, and the eleventh floor is in the middle, with a wide view.

After coming out of the hospital, except for checking the accounts, Xu Hui handed over other matters in the store to Sun Yuhe.

Well taken care of.

After nine o'clock, the store was open, and a table of girls in the water bar chatted happily.

They didn't know what novel topic they were discussing, but they burst out laughing from time to time.

There are all such students here, find a meeting place, come here with great interest, play happily, and then leave contentedly.

Every time they go out, they don't necessarily have a clear place to go, but they must have a clear place to return to.

He sat quietly near the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Because Sun Yuhe drank too much wine in the afternoon, he nestled on the sofa opposite to rest his mind.

He looks out the window.

The university city is lit up, and if you look at it for a long time, you will have the illusion that the sky is upside down and the stars are sprinkled on the ground.

"... What are you looking at?" Xu Hui turned his head, and Sun Yuhe woke up vaguely, with the smell of alcohol on his body.

"Nothing," he whispered.

Sun Yuhe sat up, rubbed his face, yawned, and turned to call a waiter.

"Pour me a glass of ice water!"

Looking at Xu Hui again, "Would you like something to drink?"

Xu Hui shook his head, Sun Yuhe looked at it for a while, and said, "What's the matter, are you so listless?"

"nothing."

When ice water was brought, Sun Yuhe took a big gulp.

"Cool!"

Xu Hui was still quiet, but Sun Yuhe became more energetic and stared at him.

"Didn't everyone make it clear." Sun Yuhe said, "It doesn't matter at all, that woman lied to you back then."

Thinking that he once believed in Huang Xinying, Sun Yuhe became angry again.

"My fucking talent for lying is maxed out! I should fucking find a way to kill her!"

"Hey, who is Brother Sun going to kill again?" Xiao Fang passed by and heard Sun Yuhe's words, "Why do you have so many people who want to kill?"

"Go away! Go away!"

Xiao Fang left with a playful smile, and Sun Yuhe said to Xu Hui, "Didn't Bai Lu say it too, the two of them—"

"It has nothing to do with that." Xu Hui said suddenly.

"Huh?" Sun Yuhe was taken aback, "What's the matter?"

Xu Hui didn't speak, the glass window reflected his own faint reflection, and he was fascinated by it.

"Ahe..."

Sun Yuhe quickly responded, "Huh?"

Xu Hui paused for a moment, and then said uncertainly: "You said that I am a little ugly now."

"..."

Sun Yuhe got stuck for five seconds because of this weird question.

Due to physical reasons, Xu Hui looked weak.

Especially recently, although he has changed his mind to stop drinking after he came out of the hospital, the problem of insomnia cannot be adjusted in a day or two. After a few days, he lost a lot of weight.

Sun Yuhe pondered for a while, leaned on his knees, and said relaxedly: "Xu Hui, let me tell you this, if you want to compare with me, the advantage may not be as obvious as before, but—"

He changed the subject, pointed out the window, and said excitedly: "If you compare yourself to that idiot downstairs today, let me tell you, you are ten thousand times more handsome than him even if you carry a skeleton frame!"

Xu Hui laughed softly, "Slow down, what are you doing so excited?"

"I said that if you want to pick an opponent, you can also choose a similar one? How can this character make you nervous?"

"What happened to the family?"

"Xu Hui..." Sun Yuhe earnestly said, "Bai Lu is not blind, but any woman—no, even a man is counted. If you and him have a choice, they will definitely choose you, okay?"

"That's not what I meant." Xu Hui said in a low voice.

"what does that mean?"

Xu Hui didn't explain, his demeanor clearly showed that he was not confident.

In Sun Yuhe's eyes, this was simply a joke.

"Ah Hui, don't worry, that man really doesn't have the slightest fighting power in my eyes, and this woman Bai Lu—" He paused, Xu Hui looked over, "What's wrong with Bai Lu?" .”

Sun Yuhe recalled the past and summed up profound experience.

"Bai Lu, this woman really has two brushes..."

Xu Hui raised his eyebrows, and Sun Yuhe said, "It's worthy of making you docile."

Xu Hui shook his head with a smile, and gradually, the smile faded away.

"Ahe, I felt very bad when I saw him today."

Sun Yuhe was simple and direct: "Tell Bai Lu next time, tell him to get away and stay where it's cool. Hearing from her roommate that he went to school in Shanghai, it really hurts to run so far away."

Xu Hui was silent for a long time before he whispered, "I can probably guess what he will tell Bai Lu about me."

"What are you afraid of!?" Sun Yuhe glared at him, "It's useless for him to talk about flowers, Bai Lu likes you."

Xu Hui raised his eyes: "Do you think Bai Lu likes me?"

Sun Yuhe: "Of course I like it!"

After a pause for a while, Xu Hui nodded and said flatly, "I think so too."

"..."

Sun Yuhe took a deep breath, "Xu Hui, do you know that you are really in debt sometimes."

Xu Hui was quiet for a while, then restrained his joking expression, and said, "I envy him a bit."

"Who? The one who came to look for Bai Lu today?"

"Ok."

"Why do you envy him? He has been in contact with Bai Lu all the time?"

Xu Hui shook his head, a rare firm line appeared on the corner of his lips.

"None of that."

"Then what do you envy him for? He's not half as handsome as you are. If you want me to say, you should go downstairs directly today, face to face and let him retreat in spite of difficulties."

"I think he's pretty handsome." Xu Hui said suddenly.

"..." Sun Yuhe was dumbfounded, "What look in your eyes?"

"His handsomeness is not the same as mine."

Xu Hui raised his head, Sun Yuhe looked into that gaze, and stopped talking.

Xu Hui said: "You may not remember this person, he is from the same junior high school as us."

Sun Yuhe: "You told me that I really can't think of such a person."

"I have an impression."

Xu Hui crossed his fingers and said in a low voice: "You still remember, we were divided into sections in junior high school, and the level of each school is uneven."

Sun Yuhe laughed, "That's right, I'm the bad one."

Xu Hui said: "In order to gather good students, the school will take a class placement test every other semester. I am deeply impressed. Wu Hanwen sat next to me in the first class placement test."

"Yo, then you two are related."

Xu Hui: "Then he went to class three, and I went to class one."

Sun Yuhe was dumbfounded.

Xu Hui said calmly, "At that time, I liked making friends, and I got to know him very quickly. He is introverted and doesn't like to play. His grades have always been stable, but he just worked hard."

"Many times I go to their class to ask friends to play, and I can see him immersed in the problems. But his grades are improving very slowly, and I feel that the teachers in his class don't like him very much. Maybe he thinks he is a bit stupid."

"He didn't catch up until the second semester of the second year of junior high school, and finally passed the sixth middle school entrance examination." He took a breath, "He was recommended to Jiaotong University for three years in high school, and now he is the vice chairman of the Shanghai Federation of Students."

Glancing at Sun Yuhe, "Don't you think he's handsome?"

Before Sun Yuhe could answer, Xu Hui pulled the corner of his mouth and said in a low voice: "... why do I think he is super handsome."

Sun Yuhe was speechless.

He felt that he understood a little bit what Xu Hui said - "I'm a little envious of him".

After a while of silence, Xu Hui thought of something, and sneered inexplicably.

Leaning his head back on the sofa, covering his eyes with his hands, his voice was hoarse.

"I fucking want to smoke..."

Sun Yuhe has known Xu Hui for many years. He may not understand how Xu Hui views the relationship between Bai Lu and Wu Hanwen, but he completely understands the meaning of this laugh.

In his mind, when he had dinner with Bai Lu's roommate in the afternoon, that burly woman's heroic question came to mind.

[Masters, hurry up! To accept or not to accept?]

At this moment, he felt that he could simply answer for Xu Hui—

Dissatisfied.

"Ahe..." Xu Hui still covered his eyes with his hands, and said in a low, gentle, but irresistible tone:

"I may have to go back early."

Sun Yuhe was silent.

Thinking of the decision Xu Hui told him before, he didn't understand it at that time. They are living so well now, and they have free time and money to earn, why does Xu Hui have to find fault for himself, doing this kind of thing like throwing away watermelon and picking sesame seeds.

Thinking about it, there was lively laughter in front of him, and Sun Yuhe looked over.

Because it was late, there were few customers in the store, and the boring waiters got together to play poker.

This is how they pass the time every day.

Next to Xiao Fang and the newly hired waitress in the corner, you touch me and pinch you, flirting happily.

Looking at it, Sun Yuhe spoke silently.

"...Xu Hui."

He seems to be talking to him, but also seems to be talking to himself.

"When I saw you before, I always had a strange feeling. Over the past two years, we have done many things and you have done them, but I just feel that you..."

"I can't describe it well, I just can't fall down, I feel very floating."

His gaze turned to Xu Hui.

"Now I know, you're not like them, and you're not like me."

Xu Hui looked down at him.

Sun Yuhe smiled heartily, kicked Xu Hui, and said proudly:

"I'm in Class Ten!"

Xu Hui gave him a pale look.

"By the way, have you told Bai Lu?" Sun Yuhe asked.

"Do not say."

"Why didn't you just say that and just leave?"

Xu Hui took his hand away, his expression seemed a little impatient, "I'm going back to rest."

Sun Yuhe had an idea, "Ah, you are afraid that you will lose face if you mess up, aren't you?"

Xu Hui looked over with a cold face, and Sun Yuhe shut up right away.

Xu Hui walked out, and Sun Yuhe shouted again: "Then where shall we go for the weekend?"

"Listen to them."

Sun Yuhe looked at his back and curled his lips, "This is fucking biased, I don't know how to ask my opinion..."

517 bedroom.

Everyone is having a heated discussion on the question of "where to go".

"Would you like to go to Wuzhen?" Sister Pi suggested, "It's very famous."

"It's useless to be famous. I'm so bored. I went there once with Da Liu." The third child said.

The youngest said, "Let's go to Suzhou and see the gardens."

"Suzhou doesn't feel like there's anything to do."

The third child: "Go shopping, go to Guangzhou and Hong Kong!"

Sister Pi pushed her, "Don't go too far! You want to kill Xu Hui!"

The third child smiled and said, "Are you kidding, why don't you ask the head of the room for her opinion, she hasn't come back yet?"

The youngest: "Well, I'm still downstairs chatting with the vice chairman."

Both the third child and sister Pi made faces at the same time.

Downstairs in the dormitory, Bai Lu and Wu Hanwen were talking in the open space in front of the printing shop.

When it comes to conversations, Wu Hanwen is almost always talking by himself, while Bai Lu has been listening from the sidelines.

Wu Hanwen came to Hangzhou to participate in an event. He came to visit Bai Lu during his busy schedule, and finally learned about an explosive new article.

It's true that positions make heroes. While listening to Wu Hanwen's speech, he thought to himself, I don't know how long he gave reports when he went to the Student Federation meeting.

Wu Hanwen has been talking like this for almost an hour, from the past to the present, with a clear mind, analyzing her current situation one by one.

After Bai Lu sighed a few times in her heart, she said to Wu Hanwen, "Are you thirsty? Let me buy you a drink?"

Wu Hanwen: "It's not smart at all for you to change the subject like this."

Bai Lu looked aside, Wu Hanwen said, "I don't know why he came to you, but it definitely won't be a good thing."

Bai Lu didn't say a word, Wu Hanwen's tone slowed down: "Your TOEFL and IELTS scores are very good, enough to apply to a good school. Even if you don't want to go abroad, you can still take the postgraduate entrance examination if you stay in China."

Bai Lu: "I don't want to take the postgraduate entrance examination."

"That also requires an internship and a job."

Wu Hanwen's gaze was like a torch.

"Bai Lu, I still say the same thing, he will not influence you well, nor will he help you in the future."

"What help do I need?"

"You may not realize it now, but you will know it when you start living." Wu Hanwen said calmly, "Tell me, even though we are the same age, do you think he is the same as us?"

Bai Lu turned her head, and Wu Hanwen was also silent for a moment.

"Or, you are willing to be dragged by him."

Bai Lu suddenly turned her eyes to look at him, staring closely at Wu Hanwen.

"It's all getting along, who is dragging whom?"

Wu Hanwen's gaze was firmer than hers, breaking through her bluff at the moment.

"It's useless for you to insist on me. You know who is dragging whom. I don't know why he is looking for you, but I can be sure that no matter what it is, you must be leading him away."

"no."

"Not where?"

Bai Lu whispered, "It's almost done."

"You can't find a reason, can you

When the evening wind blew, she suddenly wanted to laugh.

"Wu Hanwen, why am I looking for a reason?"

Wu Hanwen: "Then—"

"You know," Bai Lu ignored him, and continued, "Of all the things I've done, the most unexpected thing is to provoke him."

Wu Hanwen watched quietly, while Bai Lu's eyes were as peaceful as voices in the night.

"And the least surprising thing is to fall in love with him."

She was not very good at expressing her feelings like this, but when she said it, she felt that it was nothing.

"I'm sorry." She apologized to him for something everyone knew.

Wu Hanwen realized that he wasn't surprised. After a while of silence, he suddenly sneered.

"You finally admitted it?" He said indifferently: "I have known him, and I have known you, longer than you have known him. This result is really interesting."

His cell phone rang, and it was another matter of work to answer the call.

Putting down the phone, Wu Hanwen said, "I have something to do over there, so let's go first."

Bai Lu nodded.

He left very quickly, Bai Lu waited until he was gone, and then slowly went back upstairs.

In fact, Wu Hanwen was right, he was more mature than them.

Being in love is a qualification that everyone deserves, but life is another matter.

She once read this sentence in a certain book: "A truly successful life partner is based on a partnership with a little love."

So what if I understand it.

She walked upstairs step by step.

Regrets, regrets, turmoil... All the rich colors that can be produced in her small body are all used to fill that picture.

"Why do you think so much..." Bai Lu smiled to herself, and pushed open the bedroom door.
