After Luo Tang went home, he went to the bedroom to take a bath. After washing, A Mang followed him and went to the window sill alone. The air-conditioning was blowing above his head, the young man's hair was still dry, he was wearing a white towel and looked up at the window.
Outside the window, Lin Ling just came out of Wei Ruxia's house, only she came out. Every time Lin Ling appeared, it could affect Wei Ruxia's mood. Luo Tang didn't like her coming from a personal point of view.
After wiping his hair clean, Wei Ruxia didn't mean to come to his house. He felt something was wrong in his heart. Luo Tang put the towel down and took Aman downstairs.
He had just arrived at the door of Wei Ruxia's house, and Wei Ruxia came out of the house. Her face was not very good, her lips were a little white, and she looked absent-minded. When she looked up and saw Luo Tang, she twitched her lips and smiled, and said, "Auntie Lin just left."
Luo Tang looked at her lips and asked, "What happened to Uncle Wei?"
"Ah." Wei Ruxia's heart tightened, she looked at Luo Tang, touched the sweat on her forehead, and said, "It's okay, the air-conditioning at home is not enough, I'm a little hot, and I may be suffering from heat stroke."
She is a little confused now, and when some things are said, they are just spilled water and can't be taken back. She doesn't know whether it's bad or good to say it out, so she plans not to tell Luo Tang for now.
Luo Tang has always respected her, stretched out her hand and said, "Come to my house, I have ice cream in my house."
The ice cream relieved Wei Ruxia's bitter mood. She got up and walked to Luo Tang's side, took his hand and said, "Well."
With things in his heart, Wei Ruxia has been living a muddled day today. After she ate the ice cream, she went back to her room to take a shower. The cold water gradually eased her mood. After washing, she took out her mobile phone and prepared to call her father.
Lin Ling came to her behind his father's back. Since he came to her, he wanted her to make a choice.
Wei Ruxia was stunned for a while. The screen of her mobile phone turned on and off, and turned on and off. In the end, she didn't make the call and fell asleep on the bed.
Wei Ruxia didn't sleep soundly, her consciousness was hazy all the time. She dreamed that her mother was dying, saying that she owed her father and asked her to make up for it. For a while, I dreamed that before my grandmother died, she said that she wanted to improve their father-daughter relationship and let her help her take care of her father. In the end, she dreamed of her father's death... Wei Ruxia opened her eyes, the room was filled with dark shadows, and Wei Ruxia broke out in a cold sweat.
At dinner time, dinner was already prepared at home. The two little guys came back today. Yang Shuru didn't plan to let Wei Ruxia go home to eat, so she asked her aunt to cook four other northern dishes for Wei Ruxia.
As soon as Wei Ruxia went out, Yang Shuru in the living room downstairs got up and walked over, asking with concern, "Why have you slept for so long? Are you feeling sick?"
Wei Ruxia's physique is very good, and her body rarely experiences discomfort.
She went out after washing her face, and she didn't look so bad. When Yang Shuru was talking, Luo Tang, who was playing with Amang, also looked over. Although he was playing, Luo Tang also had something in his heart. Wei Ruxia was in a bad mood after Lin Ling left. Her current troubles are probably related to her father.
"It's okay." Wei Ruxia laughed, she walked downstairs, rubbed her brows and said, "It should be heat stroke."
"I'll take some medicine after dinner later." Yang Shuru said, took her hand and said with a smile, "Let's eat."
Luo Tang's father is going to have a meeting in the company tonight, so he won't come back to eat. There are no big parents at the table, and the atmosphere is much more lively. While telling Wei Ruxia to eat, Yang Shuru quietly asked how Luo Tang would celebrate Wei Ruxia's birthday tomorrow.
"After the birthday, we have a class reunion the next day, right?" Yang Shuru asked.
Luo Tang told her about this after she came back. When Wei Ruxia heard this, she looked up at Luo Tang, and said with a smile, "Are you going?"
He never liked to join in this kind of fun. At that time, Hu Yinyin called her and actually wanted her to take Luo Tang, but no one in the class dared to inform him.
"En." Luo Tang drank a spoonful of soup, looked up at Wei Ruxia, and asked, "Aren't you going?"
As soon as her eyes moved, Wei Ruxia pursed her lips and said with a smile, "Go."
Wei Ruxia received birthday wishes from three people at the same time in the early morning. One is Hu Yinyin, the other is Luo Tang, and the other is his father.
Knowing that it is the early morning in China, my father sent a WeChat message, and the message of blessing is also very simple, with only eight characters.
[Happy birthday, my daughter.]
After Lin Ling told her everything, she hadn't contacted her father yet. Wei Ruxia stared at the information on the screen for a long time, and finally called her father.
The next morning, Wei Ruxia ate breakfast and looked at Luo Tang, who was drinking milk. The boy's brows and eyes were calm, and in the early morning sun, he was white and gentle.
"Your alarm clock?" Wei Ruxia asked with a smile.
Luo Tang sent her birthday wishes in the early morning, but Wei Ruxia didn't get up. She didn't reply to him until seven o'clock in the morning. At that time, he had already run back with Amanchen.
Luo Tang raised his eyes and looked at Wei Ruxia, the girl smiled happily and arbitrarily, and the one who was favored was always fearless, but he liked Wei Ruxia like this. Because the reason why she is fearless is precisely because she knows what he thinks of her.
"No, I haven't slept." Luo Tang said.
"Oh~" Wei Ruxia's eyes flashed a hint of apology, then her smile deepened, and she said, "Then next time I don't sleep so deeply."
The look and expression Luo Tang looked at her was the same as before. Seeing that she was in a better mood, Luo Tang lowered her eyelids, took a sip of milk and said, "Next time you will still sleep so deeply."
Being punctured by Luo Tang, Wei Ruxia was not embarrassed, she laughed softly again.
After the two had eaten, Wei Ruxia was taken away by Luo Tang. On her eighteenth birthday, he paid more attention to it than herself.
Compared with the gift Wei Ruxia gave Luo Tang on her birthday, Luo Tang's gift was very thoughtful. The gifts he gave were not bought, but made by himself.
Luo Tang arranged her first birthday stop at a pottery studio.
The embryo pulling machine was spinning, and the wet pottery clay on her hands rubbed against her palms. Wei Ruxia stared at Luo Tang sitting next to her in a trance.
The young man was wearing a light gray oilcloth apron, his slender fingers were covered with gray clay, he lowered his head slightly, his profile was delicate and beautiful, his eyelashes blinked slightly, and his eyes were black. It is obviously not the first time for him to do it. He is very skilled, and with his outstanding appearance, the people around him more or less cast their attention on him.
Most of the people who came here to play were little girls, watching Luo Tang discussing in a low voice.
"That boy is so handsome, you can see that he is doing very well."
"The fingers are so beautiful, this hand control is about to die."
"Is the girl sitting next to him his girlfriend? It's a good match. Sure enough, good-looking people play with good-looking people."
Wei Ruxia smiled and listened to their discussion, and looked at Luo Tang in a trance. When she was in a trance, Luo Tang turned her head slightly, the two looked at each other, Wei Ruxia's heart moved, and her hand moved, and the clay on her hand instantly deformed.
"Hey, it's broken again." Wei Ruxia said, looking at the scattered Tao Ni, she didn't know how many times she had broken it.
Looking down at Wei Ruxia's clay pottery, Luo Tang pursed her lips and kept her hands moving, asking, "What are you looking at?"
While pinching the clay together again, Wei Ruxia answered frankly, "Look at you."
The Adam's apple moved slightly, and the young man smiled. Wei Ruxia listened to his smile, squeezed the clay in her hand, and suddenly said, "This must be my most memorable birthday."
The embryo pulling machine hadn't stopped yet, she was frantically messing with the clay on the embryo pulling machine, her expression still as indifferent as water. No matter what happened, she could always keep her calm.
Luo Tang watched the clay in her hand collapse again and stood up. Wei Ruxia noticed his movement, looked up at him, and then Luo Tang pulled her seat and sat behind her.
As soon as the boy sat down, Wei Ruxia smelled a fresh mint fragrance. The scent of mint is often refreshing, but Wei Ruxia felt a little dry. With her back against the boy's chest, she could feel the boy's strong and slightly disordered heartbeat.
The girls who were chatting just now let out a small scream after Luo Tang sat down. While they were screaming, Luo Tang reached out and covered the back of Wei Ruxia's hand.
The first time she did it, the clay in her hand didn't take shape at all. Luo Tang held her hand and placed the clay into shape. He breathed lightly, scratching the back of Wei Ruxia's neck, the boy's voice was low, like a mountain stream.
"Is it more memorable now?"
Feeling Luo Tang's breath, Wei Ruxia couldn't bear the heat, her ears gradually dyed a layer of pink, and the clay on her hands gradually took shape, Wei Ruxia didn't deny it, and answered with a chuckle.
"Um."
Luo Tang made a small cup for her, and she drew two rabbits on it, because both she and Luo Tang belonged to the year of the rabbit. She is average in painting, and she looks ugly and cute on the cup.
Yang Shuru prepared a birthday meal in the evening, and the two of them were going back for dinner. After making pottery, Wei Ruxia wants to go ice skating. There was no ice skating rink in Ancheng, so Luo Tang took her to the roller skating rink.
Wei Ruxia didn't want to skate too much, but in the skating rink, it always reminded her of the scene when Luo Tang confessed to her.
Wei Ruxia's eighteenth birthday was very happy, as if she had overdrawn her future happiness. She will have a birthday every year in the future, but all birthdays bring her less happiness than her eighteenth birthday.
Before dinner, Wei Ruxia and Luo Tang took the subway home. When leaving the subway entrance, Wei Ruxia saw that there was a Kongming lantern selling at the subway entrance, so she paid for one.
"Is there a place to put it?" Wei Ruxia asked Luo Tang as he walked.
Looking at her happy look, Luo Tang responded, "You can put it on the An River at the back of the apartment."
"That's good." Wei Ruxia said with a smile, "I want to make a wish with a Kongming lantern. They say that a Kongming lantern is more accurate than a birthday cake wish."
Wei Ruxia never believed in this kind of thing. But today, she wanted to make a wish that must be fulfilled.
After dinner at home, Wei Ruxia took Luo Tang's hand to the Anhe River. On summer nights, the Anhe River occasionally has a cool breeze blowing, but there are still very few people here to enjoy the shade, and there are only a few people on the entire river bank.
"This is the first time I put a Kongming lantern." Wei Ruxia took a marker and wrote his wish on the Kongming lantern. While she was writing, she glanced at Luo Tang next to her. Luo Tang also wrote on the Kongming lantern, and when he saw her looking over, he stretched out his hand to cover it.
In this block, Wei Ruxia saw the reddened face of the young man under the street lamp.
Her heart moved, and her brain was a little hot, which made her have an impulse. And this impulse was quickly suppressed by the breeze by the river.
"Let it go." Wei Ruxia took the match and lit the Kongming Lantern.
Although I bought it from the subway, the quality is very good. After the lamp was lit, the Kongming Lantern took off quickly, Wei Ruxia laughed and said, "Let go."
Luo Tang released his hand next to him, and the Kongming Lantern slowly flew into the sky. The lights of the Kongming lanterns flickered, as if illuminating the dark night sky. The people walking around, their eyes drifted to the Kongming Lantern unconsciously.
"What wish did you make?" Wei Ruxia asked, leaning against the guardrail on the river bank, looking back at Luo Tang.
Luo Tang, who had not been allowed to see her just now, was willing to tell her his wish after the Kongming lantern flew far away. He turned to meet her eyes and said, "Always be with you."
This is Luo Tang's most straightforward confession to her. It's a simple sentence that makes people heart-broken.
Wei Ruxia smiled slightly. She didn't look at him anymore, she turned to look at the Kongming Lantern gradually drifting away in the night sky, and smiled: "I wish you happiness forever."
After speaking, Wei Ruxia frowned slightly and bit her lower lip.
"Then our wishes are the same." Wei Ruxia was hidden in the shadows, and Luo Tang did not see her expression.
"Huh?" Wei Ruxia smiled and asked, "How?"
Luo Tang turned his head and looked at Wei Ruxia, his eyes were clear and translucent.
"I will always be happy with you forever."
Wei Ruxia took a breath, the cold air around her cut her throat like an ice knife, making her speechless, but even so, she still had to talk to Luo Tang about her decision.
"Luo Tang..." Wei Ruxia called him, and after calling his name, it seemed that she had used up all her strength. Wei Ruxia sank her heart, looked up at Luo Tang and said, "I can't be with you forever, I'm going to fly to England tomorrow afternoon."
The evening wind rustled the leaves, and the An River under the street lamp was blown into rolling ripples, like Luo Tang's crumpled heart. Everything just now seemed to be a dream. Luo Tang looked at Wei Ruxia and asked calmly, "What happened?"
The boy's calm made Wei Ruxia's breathing stagnate. She was like a stranded fish. After a while, her mind turned around, she said succinctly.
"My dad has not been on tour for the past six months. He has been seriously ill and has been receiving conservative treatment abroad. Auntie Lin said that he will continue to drag on, and it is very likely that his right body will shrink and become paralyzed. He will have an operation immediately, and after the operation, he will be rehabilitated abroad. Health. Rehabilitation time is at least ten years, and it may not be cured after ten years... I'm going to accompany him."
Ten years is not a short time, and more importantly, she may not recover after ten years. She went to the UK and basically settled in the UK with her father. She would not let Luo Tang wait for her, let alone let Luo Tang accompany her. During the Spring Festival at his grandmother's house this year, they had already said that Luo Tang could go abroad to study, but he could not settle abroad. The roots of their Luo family were in Ancheng. Both their parents and grandparents were in Ancheng. Luo Tang was the only child, and he could not accompany her.
She was going abroad to accompany her mother and grandma and told her to take good care of her father, while he was going to accompany his family at home. The future of foreign love is very slim. They are at the age when their love affair begins. At this time, long pain is not as short as short pain, and the mess must be cut quickly.
Wei Ruxia was very selfish. She had already made up her mind when she was on the phone with her father in the early hours of the morning, but she didn't tell him until after her birthday with Luo Tang. She wanted to spend her eighteenth birthday with Luo Tang, and wanted to always remember this young man who was given to her.
It was not until Wei Ruxia finished saying this that Luo Tang gradually believed. She is still her, and her words are simple and easy to understand. After the incident, she considered all the circumstances, and then made a decision decisively, without even giving him any chance to save.
Luo Tang remembered the first time she saw Wei Ruxia, her eyes were indifferent to see through everything and accept everything. Wei Ruxia is very decisive. She has always carried it clearly, she knows what she wants and what to give up.
"You abandoned me." Luo Tang felt that knowing Wei Ruxia was like a dream, but now Wei Ruxia shattered the dream, he woke up, and Wei Ruxia left.
The boy's eyes locked on her tightly, Wei Ruxia's heart seemed to be slashed, she shook her head and said, "No, Luo Tang, you are very good, everyone likes you, and no one will abandon you."
"Except you." Luo Tang said.
Three words, like a punch on her chest, Wei Ruxia couldn't answer.
Luo Tang looked at Wei Ruxia, his eyes were full of emotions that Wei Ruxia had never seen before, the boy's voice was gloomy, like the sea before a storm.
"But I'd rather be abandoned by the world, as long as you."
The author has something to say:
Tangtang: Well, today's me was abandoned by you, and you can't catch up with tomorrow's me.
