"Thank you, why do you think I won't be uncomfortable?"
Xu You asked softly.
She looked up at him with wet eyes, looking at him quietly and deeply.
"... ..sorry."
He was a little dazed and didn't know how to answer her words.
There was no emotion on Xu You's face.
In fact, she couldn't restrain her emotions, her chest hurt like something was rampaging, she couldn't help it, tears flowed like broken threads.
Slowly, under this kind of gaze, Xie Ci lowered his head again.
Seeing his appearance, she wanted to say something, but when the words came to her lips, she felt distressed and panicked.
After too long silence, Xie Ci raised his head and saw her standing in front of him, looking at him without any hesitation.
watch.
He looked calm on the surface, but he couldn't hide his embarrassment.
"Xu You, don't cry."
The tears on Xu You's face were still wet, and she kept crying silently. Xie Ci was helpless, hesitantly wanted to wipe her tears.
As soon as he took two steps forward, Xu You took the initiative to approach, stretched out his hands, and hugged his waist tightly.
The two suddenly approached.
His waist was tightly embraced by both arms, Xie Ci's heartbeat stopped for a moment, his hands were hanging in the air, he didn't know how to react.
Xu You put her head against his shoulder, and suddenly let out a loud cry, choking with sobs. She didn't expect that at the age of 24 or 5, she could easily shed tears in front of someone.
Xie Ci suddenly had a very selfish thought in his heart.
It's fine to let Xu You cry like this, anyway, she is feeling sorry for herself.
Her warm body just cuddled up to him, the skin was close to each other, and the distance between the two hearts was extremely close.
As soon as this thought popped up, the joy that rose from the soles of his feet rushed to the top of his head. His exposed skin even had fine bumps.
Xie Ci counted his breaths, once, twice, three times... His hand slowly went around her shoulder, and he just caught it.
Xu You said hoarsely, "Thank you."
He paused, and responded with a guilty conscience.
Then, in the quiet living room, there was the ticking of the alarm clock, and the sound of water in the kitchen.
He came back to his senses and heard her ask.
"How have you been doing these past few years?"
Xie Ci answered honestly, "It's not good at all."
When the words came out, he felt something was wrong, and explained in confusion, "It's not because you are bad, it's me."
She interrupted him, "Thank you, have you ever liked someone else in the past few years?"
He stayed for a long time before he realized that he remembered to answer her, "No more."
"Then who will feel sorry for you?"
She speaks softly.
"... ..What?"
Xie Ci's heart twitched, and he was in a daze, unable to hear clearly.
"I said, if you push me away with these, who will love you."
“…………”
Waiting for someone is doing a hopeless thing.
Hopeless and sad, sad and tormented, ups and downs in the minutes and seconds.
But in a person's life, there are still a few years that can be wasted by another person.
Is it only by letting go that each other can be free.
Only then is the liberation.
But thank you is not reconciled.
He is not reconciled.
Whether it is liberation or letting each other go free, he is not reconciled.
Xu You's words came down clearly, breaking through his reason that had been suppressed for a long time in an instant.
Xie Ci's heart speeded up bit by bit, and he buried his face in the hollow of her shoulder, feeling relieved and aggrieved.
"No, no one cares about me anymore, Xu You."
"You don't like others either."
"If you like someone else, I don't know what to do."
He repeated every sentence until his voice choked.
Xie Ci hugged her so tightly that she could hardly breathe.
half an hour.
She slowly raised her hand, then slid it down along his shoulder line, stroking his back like a comforting child.
The backs of his hands froze.
Within two seconds, Xie Ci rubbed against her contentedly.
How could it be possible to fall in love with someone else.
at that age.
Loved someone like him.
Her feelings have long been crippled, how can she love others.
---
Xie Ci's body temperature couldn't drop, and taking anti-inflammatory drugs and antipyretics didn't help. He didn't want to go to the hospital, so he covered himself with two layers of quilts and was stuffy inside. His whole body was drenched with sweat, but his forehead was still hot.
"It's burned to 39 degrees."
Xu You stood by his bed, flicked the mercury thermometer, frowned, "Get up, go to the hospital."
"..." He pretended to be dead, went to hold her hand, and murmured with his eyes closed, "I can't get up, I feel bad."
"Go to the hospital if you feel uncomfortable."
"..."
"If you don't get up, I'm leaving."
Xu You took his hand away and made a gesture to leave. Xie Ci was unwilling, struggling to throw off the quilt, and got out of bed with bare feet to chase her.
"You don't go."
In the middle of the night.
Finally, the two arrived at the hospital. Xie Ci followed Xu You closely, like a giant moving baby, not wanting to leave her at all.
When Xu You went to pay the fee and get the medicine, Xie Ci and the boss sat on the bench unhappily.
His eyes looked in the direction where she disappeared every few seconds.
The nurse who helped him hang the water took a bag of drips and laughed and teased, "Is that your girlfriend?"
Xie Ci drooped his eyelids lazily, not wanting to talk to her.
After waiting for a while, Xu You still hasn't come back. Xie Ci was full of fatigue, looking around, always felt that a heart was not settled.
The little nurse hung the medicine bag on the iron rack, "The first bottle will be finished soon, tell your girlfriend to call me."
"...um." He answered absently.
Before leaving, the little nurse said: "Seeing that you are very clingy to her, you two have such a good relationship."
When Xu You came back with the medicine, she saw that the water had been hung up, so she sat down beside him.
The things were put aside casually, and there was a little distance between the two. This made Xie Ci a little dissatisfied, but he was too embarrassed to say it.
I endured it for a long time.
There were very few people in the infusion room at night, and the air was full of the smell of disinfectant and alcohol. Xu You was tired after a day of tossing around, leaning back on the chair, knuckles bent and rubbing her forehead.
After a while, there was a little movement. The person next to him moved his body slightly and approached her.
Xu You raised her eyes and looked at him tiredly, "The needle is still hanging, don't move around."
"Then why are you so far away from me?" Relying on his own illness, he became more confident towards her. In that way, faintly, the unreasonable appearance in the past has a tendency to resurface.
Sighing silently from the bottom of her heart, Xu You followed his will and sat a little over.
Xie Ci smiled lightly.
His hand slowly touched it, and then held it habitually.
She didn't struggle.
She regained consciousness a little bit, Xie Ci held her weak and boneless hand, the palm of which was sweating a little due to nervousness.
"Xu You, is it true what you just told me?"
After resting for a while, he lightly bumped her arm with his elbow, his movements and tone were very natural.
"What word?" she asked.
Xu You lowered her head, folded an advertising leaflet in her hand, and looked at it carefully and attentively.
Xie Ci glanced at it secretly, thinking it was really pretty.
Then he sat upright, looked straight ahead, and sneaked a few more glances. After a few seconds, when his eyes moved over again, they happened to collide with hers.
Xu You: "What are you going to say?"
Being caught, Xie Ci was not only not ashamed, but also confidently said: "You don't give me face at all, you know it, and you ask me on purpose."
“…….”
A man is the easiest creature in the world to put his nose on his face, and this sentence really came true on Xie Ci.
Xu You finally knew now.
She was speechless for a while before saying, "I really don't know what I said."
Xie Ci was in a hurry, he gritted his teeth, and raised his voice, "Why do you have such a bad memory?"
"..." Xu You wanted to laugh again, but didn't know what to say.
"Take a good injection, stop talking, and take a rest." She advised him.
"I've never seen such a dishonest person like you."
Xie Ci didn't know why, but he was sullen, and he was still mumbling, "Just now, you clearly said—"
"Say what?" she teased him.
With a look of 'I'm going to fight it', he said angrily, "You said you would love me in the future."
".....Did I say that?"
Xu You thought about it for a while, and she didn't seem to say that.
"You absolutely did."
Thank you very loudly, seeing that she seems to have lost her memory, she said angrily: "Forget it, I have never seen a dishonest person like you."
"..."
She lowered her eyes, her fingers fluttered, and she quickly finished folding the paper in her hand. Xu You held up the little rose in her hand and handed it to the side, "Thank you, let's take our time."
Although I missed it for a long time, there is still time.
So take your time.
Xie Ci lowered his eyes, staring at something that suddenly appeared in front of him.
After pressing for a while, he still spread his palm.
The little rose fell down and hit his hand lightly.
Xu You pursed her lips, the little pear dimple looming. She stretched her hands behind her head and brushed off the hair rope, and her thin, straight hair fell over her shoulders. She circled her hands, retying the loose hair tightly.
Xie Ci slightly folded his hands, paused for a while, and suddenly leaned over to peck Xu You's face.
The kiss fell impartially on the dimple, at the corner of the lips.
She was caught off guard, and her brain froze for a moment.
He said, "Xu You, don't make me wait too long."
When Xu You regained her strength, she remembered to raise her hand to wipe her lips.
As soon as he put down his hand, Xie Ci came up again, and printed it lip to lip accurately. As if dissatisfied with her movements, he grabbed her chin with one hand, and stopped for a little longer this time.
After a while, Xie Ci suddenly took the initiative to back away.
Xu You turned to look at him.
He hissed, frowned tightly, and kept his eyes closed, and raised the injection arm, "Xu You, look at the needle, is it coming out?"
Thank you for fainting, and I don't care about the image at all.
“…….”
Xu You hurriedly stood up, only to find that there was blood flowing back from the end of the infusion tube.
It should be that the action of thanking him was too violent just now, I didn't pay attention all of a sudden, and the needle was involved.
She ran to the nurse's desk to call for someone.
After the person came, Xie Ci kept averting his eyes and didn't dare to look.
The nurse tore off the tape on the back of his hands and straightened them again. The nurse was a little old, and she taught me a lesson, "I don't know what to do when I give an injection."
Xu You stood aside, a little embarrassed, and dared not speak.
After the old nurse left, Xie Ci whispered, "Fuck, it's so fucking fierce."
Xu You: "..."
---
After that day, the work was not too busy, so Xu You applied for the topic and sat in the office every day to check the information.
After Xie Ci recovered from his illness, he became more restless.
He couldn't watch over her every day when there was something to do in the garage, but there were calls every day.
Occasionally she was busy with work and didn't see it, and Xie Ci would not stop until the phone became hot.
One day, during the lunch break, I went downstairs with Zhang Lili and ran into Li Zhengan again in the lobby. He greeted Xu You with a warm smile on his face.
She couldn't avoid it, so she could only raise her hand, "What a coincidence."
"Are you two going to eat?" Li Zhengan looked at Xu You and asked.
She seemed to be stunned and didn't hear it.
"No, I'm going home, Xu You has something to do in the afternoon." Zhang Lili who was beside her explained for her.
Xu You looked outside, then looked back, she nodded.
The two walked out of the building, the air-conditioning was gone, and the heat was rushing in.
The sun was very strong, Zhang Lili held an umbrella, and walked and chatted with Xu You to the parking lot.
"Who are you dating this afternoon?"
"It's not a date." Xu You took out the phone from the bag, "Dinning with classmates."
"College classmate?"
"no."
"High school classmates?"
"Um."
Fu Xueli came to Shanghai to play, and got in touch with Xu You a few days ago, and wanted to ask her out for dinner.
In the past few years, Xu You seldom went to high school reunions, and he hadn't seen his old friends for a long time. So she thought for a while and agreed.
The time is today.
"Then how are you going? Are you driving?" Zhang Lili pressed the car lock and beeped twice.
Xu You shook her head, "No need."
As soon as they finished speaking, a Land Rover parked beside them began to honk their horns.
Xu You raised her head in response. Seeing one side of the car window come down, Song Yifan excitedly called out to her, "Xu You!"
Immediately afterwards, Fu Xueli pushed the door sideways and walked out, her red high-heeled shoes fell to the ground.
She has bright features, wearing a white chiffon dress, and wavy chestnut hair hanging on her body.
Before she had time to react, Xu You opened her mouth slightly, and Fu Xueli walked over and hugged her into her arms.
In the car, Song Yifan sat in the car, looking at the two people outside. He didn't understand the friendship between girls, so he could only shake his head and deliberately asked Xie Ci who was sitting in front, "How about Ah Ci, are you envious?"
"What."
"Don't pretend to me, I don't know what you think yet."
"... oh."
"Don't pretend to be calm, brother, you said that Fu Xueli just hugged Xu You so openly, and then I will see you..." He didn't continue to say the following words.
Xie Ci opened the window on one side and rested his elbow on it. He still held the cigarette between his fingers, looked at Xu You, took a puff after a while, and then slowly exhaled the smoke ring.
The person not far away turned his face slightly. She is wearing a white top and black pencil pants today, with soft and loose hair down.
There was a clean and gentle smile on his face.
There was a moment of silence in the car.
He rolled his Adam's apple and unbuttoned a button of his shirt.
Watching silently, watching. Xie Ci couldn't take it any longer, he stuck his head out of the car window and shouted.
"--I said, Fu Xueli, you are not finished, get in the car."
