63. I don’t want you to cry
It's New Year's Eve in a few days, and this year it's my turn to have New Year's Eve dinner at my second aunt's house. Except for my eldest cousin and my cousin who are already married and have children, Ma Yangyang is the oldest child in the Ma family. At this time, he is like a king of children. The whole house went crazy with a group of little kids, big and small. Even the eldest cousin’s son who was just over three years old was following them crookedly, causing the little niece who was being held by the cousin to keep following them with her dark eyes. , waving their little fat hands and babbling, they insisted on following them. Only Miss Song Yinyin, who was about to take the high school entrance examination, was unwilling to join them.
A group of friends, both young and old, were tired and stretched out in various corners of the living room to catch their breath. Song Yinyin came over and patted Ma Yangyang. Ma Yangyang moved a position for the eldest lady in the prone position. Song Yinyin sat down unceremoniously. , leaned over and asked: "Where has Brother Xie Tian gone? My classmate said that he has not been to the store for two days."
Ma Yangyang and Xie Tian have been chatting in the past few days. They haven't talked much. The content is basically similar to what new year's goods the family bought. The new TV series on that TV station is quite good. If there are questions, I can't do it. class of questions. Xie Tian didn't reply much. Ma Yangyang thought he was too busy with his part-time job. No wonder he said yesterday that he spent most of the day watching a documentary about murals. At that time, Ma Yangyang was still thinking that he had time, but I was already discussing the mural with him later, so I forgot to ask. Then I remembered that he didn't go to work that day.
Ma Yangyang pursed his lips and said, "Probably asking for leave? Transfer leave?"
"Then when will he return to the store?" the eldest lady asked seriously.
Ma Yangyang wanted to say how could I know, but his answer was, "Let me ask for you."
After saying that, he took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Xie Tian. He quickly received a reply from Xie Tian: "I have been to City A for the past two days. I will go back to work the evening shift tomorrow and bring you specialties."
That means we can finally meet again tomorrow. Ma Yangyang told Song Yinyin that Xie Tian would be on duty tomorrow, but he kept the last sentence over and over in his heart.
**
Xie Tian went to City A to visit Chen Xueping. He had planned to visit Chen Xueping on New Year's Eve, but his grandmother kept saying that he was unwilling to see Chen Xueping. Xie Tian did not argue, but his uncle called and asked them to go home to celebrate the New Year. Xie Tiancai said it, but he was still scolded by his grandmother. The reason is very simple. I have been pressing for so long to go, and I don’t know who is doing this bad luck by choosing to go on New Year’s Eve.
Xie Tian has long been accustomed to his grandma being displeased with him. No matter what he does, it is always wrong, but he is not really indifferent every time he is scolded, especially on days like this, when he is alone on the train. Eating instant noodles, I felt a little warm when I received a call from my uncle, but I heard my grandma's cold words that were not clear.
A young couple sitting next to him had a child, who looked about three or four years old, with a round face and round eyes. When Xie Tian looked at him, he felt a bit like Ma Yangyang, and some warmth suddenly rose in his cold heart. Xie Tian couldn't help but curl his lips towards the child.
The child had been staring at him just now. When he saw Xie Tian smiling, he became shy. He turned around and lay on his mother. He tilted his little head and looked at Xie Tian secretly. When he saw that Xie Tian was still looking at him, he tilted his head again. Into mother's arms.
The young couple was amused by the child and joked: "Does Beibei like big brother?"
The child named Beibei didn't say anything at first, but after a while he hummed "hmm". Beibei's mother said again, "Then do you want to give it to big brother Tangtang?"
Beibei nodded again, reached into his pocket and took out the candy for Xie Tian. His expression was very similar to the way Ma Yangyang handed him snacks for the first time. At that time, she didn't accept what he handed over. He must be very sad, and he still has to smile and tell him it's okay.
Xie Tian took the candy, touched the child's head and said, "Thank you."
Beibei giggled and threw herself into her mother's arms again.
Xie Tian opened the candy and put it in his mouth. It was strawberry toffee that children like to eat. Well, older children also like it.
Xie Tian was eating candy, and his phone vibrated. When he opened it, he saw a message from Ma Yangyang, "My cousin said you haven't gone to work for several days? She asked me to ask you when you will be back?"
What is love? It may also be that when you are thinking about someone, he is also thinking about you.
Xie Tian originally planned to ask Ma Yangyang to meet him the next morning and then go to work after meeting him, but Ma Yangyang felt that it was too hard for him to rush to work like this, so he asked him to rest first and then meet the day after tomorrow.
On the day they met, Xie Tian worked the morning shift and could get off work at four in the afternoon. The two went to eat the barbecue that Ma Yangyang had just discovered. They hadn't seen each other for a long time, but they couldn't bear to say goodbye so quickly.
We walked side by side for a while on the excuse of eating. When passing by the cinema, Ma Yangyang suddenly remembered that a new movie was released today that he really wanted to see. He wanted to suggest going to the movie, but this movie was something that Ma Yangyang really liked. It was a romance film adapted from a novel, and he felt that it was indescribably weird to watch it with Xie Tian, and it would not be weird even if he watched it with Wang Yuelei.
Maybe he paused at the entrance of the cinema for too long. Just as he was shaking his head and about to walk over, Xie Tian pulled him and asked, "Do you want to watch a movie?"
It was a coincidence that when they arrived at this time, the latest movie was the one Ma Yangyang wanted to watch. Finally, Ma Yangyang entered the screening room with Xie Tian holding popcorn.
Before the show started, I saw that the occupancy rate in the hall was almost 60%. The people in the rows were mostly young couples. There were also a few girls who came to watch, but they were the only two boys who came together.
Ma Yangyang had "evil thoughts" in his heart, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong all over his body, not to mention the eyes that kept looking at them around him, and there were even girls who kept looking back at them and then turned to whisper to each other and snickered. Ma Yangyang didn't even know what the popcorn tasted like, but Xie Tian still looked frank, which made him feel helpless and powerless.
The movie tells the story of a somewhat autistic girl who walks out of the gloom to gain love and a future with the company of a few friends. The male protagonist is overbearing and dedicated. When all his friends are protecting the girl, only he will take care of her. The girl does things she dare not do, and forces the girl to do things she dare not even think about. Facts have proved that he is right, but Ma Yangyang still prefers the second male lead, who is a silent guardian type. , although he agrees with some of the male protagonist's actions, he is reluctant to force the female protagonist, so the mark left on the female protagonist's heart will never be deeper than that of the male protagonist. The end of the story is naturally a happy ending. Only the second male lead left alone after everything was settled. No one knew what kind of mood he had had or what he had done for the heroine.
The acting skills of the actors are not particularly good, and two of them are notoriously bad at acting, but the director's skills are not bad, and the whole movie is not too dramatic. At the end, I saw the second male actor secretly sneaking in front of the heroine's house before leaving. Ma Yangyang couldn't help crying after waiting for the heroine for an hour. Seeing the heroine and the hero coming hand in hand, showing relief and sadness.
Although I felt distressed when reading the novel, I didn't feel distressed to this extent. The images made the nihilistic fantasy materialize, and the sadness became more profound. Ma Yangyang thought to himself, if he could no longer be by Xie Tian's side in the end, would he be as brave and determined as the second male lead
Ma Yangyang resisted crying, but Xie Tian was still keenly aware of his reaction. It should be said that Xie Tian's attention was not focused on the movie. In the first half of the movie, Ma Yangyang would join in. I came over and told him the plot in a low voice. The further back I went, the less and less movement there was, and towards the end there was no sound.
The light on the screen flickered off, and the tears on Ma Yangyang's face appeared and disappeared. He didn't want to see his tears. Xie Tian thought this, and couldn't help but stretched out his hand and put it on his hand to pat it gently. Ma Yangyang's body froze in an instant. Feeling his discomfort, Xie Tian patted his hand a few times and then withdrew his hand. Ma Yangyang was not sure whether he was just comforting himself or had other meanings.
After leaving the cinema, Ma Yangyang's eyes were still a little red. He didn't know what his mentality was, but he hurriedly explained: "I just feel that it is a pity that the second male lead is so good to the female lead."
Xie Tian stared at him for a while, then put his arm around his shoulders and patted him: "He will find his own happiness." He took another step to stand in front of Ma Yangyang, bent slightly and looked at him levelly and said, "We also meeting."
Beep—Ma Yangyang heard the sound of his brain dying.
