Extra Story: If you knew each other in high school (12)
Jiang Xu was playing games in an Internet cafe, and when Lin Anlan arrived, he could vaguely see the hostility between his brows in the light of the computer.
He looked at Jiang Xu, helpless and at a loss for his friend.
"Go home." He said softly.
Jiang Xu ignored him.
Lin Anlan persuaded him, "I know you're unhappy, but what happened today is really wrong with you. If you say something like that first, Cheng Yu will naturally be unhappy, and will inevitably scold you in turn."

"Do I care if he scolds me?" He turned to look at Lin Anlan, "What I care about is that you stand by his side."
"As I said before, he is kind to our family, and he and I are friends now, so once the two of you have a dispute, I can only help the right side."
"Are you also friends?" Jiang Xu seemed to have heard a joke, "What about us, our relationship for so many years is not comparable to the friendship between him and you these days?"
"It's different."
"Of course it's different. I understand that there is more kindness. So you help him, and I also understand. But there are times to repay the kindness. He can't use this kind of kindness to let you help him for the rest of his life, right?"
"Jiang Xu, I don't understand, why can't you accept him?" Lin Anlan looked at him with doubts in his eyes, "Cheng Yu has no ill will towards you, as long as you want, you can be friends, right?"
"I can't climb high." Jiang Xu said.
"Can't you be calmer with him? He didn't do anything to hurt you, so why do you always target him?"
Jiang Xu did not speak.
He really didn't like Cheng Yu, and he didn't like Cheng Yu suddenly coming up to make friends with Lin Anlan. Whether he helped Lin Anlan or changed seats, it was all a posture of forcibly entering Lin Anlan's life. Jiang Xu saw it. When he came out, he had a purpose for Lin Anlan.
Lin Anlan doesn't care what the purpose is, but he does care. Cheng Yu's objective conditions are much better than his. It's already leaning towards him.
So he doesn't like it.
He didn't like his good friend, so he became someone else's good friend. He no longer had parents, and he couldn't live without Lin Anlan.
Jiang Xu turned off the computer, "I'll go back with you."
Lin Anlan was a little surprised, "Aren't you angry anymore?"
Of course he was still angry, but he didn't want Cheng Yu to take advantage of it.
"I don't want you to think that he is better than me." He said frankly, "Xiaolan, if I said I hope you will ignore him from now on, will you agree to me?"
Lin Anlan was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer.
If he had asked him this question earlier, he would have agreed without hesitation. He was just an ordinary classmate, and he did not intend to interact with Cheng Yu himself. Answering or not agreeing was the same.
But now, when he and Cheng Yu have so many interactions, "I can't promise you."
"It's so heartless, so ungrateful," he said.
"So how long do you want to repay his kindness?" Jiang Xu asked him, "A year or two or ten years?"
"Jiang Xu, we are friends now. Friends mean that as long as he doesn't do things that hurt me, I won't feel sorry for him."
Jiang Xu felt desperate, "Even if I don't want to?"
"I hope you are more willing." Lin Anlan said.
There was no word between the two for a while.
Lin Anlan looked at the sadness in his eyes and wanted to comfort him but didn't know how to comfort him, so she could only ask him, "Are you going home?"
"Do I still have a home?" Jiang Xu asked him.
"As long as you want, you will naturally have it."
Jiang Xu laughed at himself and did not speak.
Lin Anlan looked at her watch, it was past eleven o'clock.
"It's time for me to go back," he said. "Would you like to go back with me? If not, I'll go back by myself first."
Jiang Xu was silent for a while, and finally, he went out with him.
He said, "Xiaolan, I really didn't expect that one day this would happen between us."
Lin Anlan didn't think of it either, but he didn't think he was wrong. Of course he cared about Jiang Xu, but he also cared about Cheng Yu. He couldn't hurt either of them for no reason.
"Do you know what I was most afraid of when I was a child?" he asked Jiang Xu.
Jiang Xu turned to look at him, "What?"
"I don't like to do multiple-choice questions because I'm afraid that others will ask me whether I like my father or my mother, because a choice will hurt. I don't want to hurt the people around me."
"Then you are happier than me." Jiang Xu said, "When I was a child, I had no right to choose at all. No one would ask me this question. They would only ask me, what about your father? Don't you have a father? There is no choice."
Lin Anlan listened, vaguely thinking of when she was very young. At that time, he hadn't gone to the orphanage, let alone met his adoptive parents, he lived with his biological mother, and someone had asked him about it. such a problem.
"But I never asked you such a question." Lin Anlan said softly, "And now, you are asking me such a question."
"So Cheng Yu and I are already in the same position in your heart? How long have you known each other, how many days have you known each other, is it similar to our relationship for nearly ten years?"
"Of course it's different, but I owe him a favor, haven't I said it many times?"
"So I ask you when will you be able to pay it off? When will it be settled?"
"Do you think my mother's life is important?" Lin Anlan turned to look at him, "He helped me with nothing but my mother's life. This is the most important thing in my life, so it is impossible for me in this life. Pay off. Jiang Xu, you are not the only one who cares about your mother, I also care about my mother. What I owe him is not a word or a piece of money, but a chance to extend my life, so I am not finished, yes, our relationship The friendship between Cheng Yu is indeed incomparable, but as long as there is this kindness, I can't choose you to give up him, if you must have an answer, then I can tell you very clearly, in this life, I can't I promise you to ignore him. So you don't have to say anything like that in the future."
"When you said this, didn't you consider my mood?" Jiang Xu said sadly.
Lin Anlan laughed and felt that the situation was a bit funny now, "So what? I'm here to find you at night, pick you up and go home, I hope you can continue to go to school tomorrow, not for today's affairs, for your mother's sake. Things have ruined your own life, but you said this to me, have you considered my mood?"
"That's because I only have you." Jiang Xu said excitedly, "Xiaolan, you have everything, but I only have you."
"I understand, I also want to make you happy, but I can't promise you everything unconditionally. I also have my life, and I need to be responsible for my life."
He reached out to stop the car and sat up.
"Let's go?" he asked Jiang Xu.
Jiang Xu stood outside the car and looked at Lin Anlan who was sitting in the car watching him calmly.
He looked at him deeply, as if he wanted to see other emotions under his calm appearance, but he didn't seem to understand.
He eventually got into the car.
The driver started the car, and Lin Anlan leaned against the window with his eyes closed and took a short rest.
The two didn't talk much, and it was not until they got home that Jiang Xu spoke slowly, "When you go to school tomorrow, call me."
He was showing weakness.
"Okay." Lin Anlan agreed.
He took the elevator to the floor of his house, sent a WeChat message to Cheng Yu, and then took a shower and got ready to sleep.
Mother Lin's surgery was in the afternoon of the second day, so Lin Anlan asked for leave after class at noon.
Cheng Yu skipped class and went to the hospital with him, along with Jiang Xu.
At this time, Lin Anlan's thoughts were all on his fucking body, and he didn't have time to take care of Cheng Yu and Jiang Xu.
Jiang Xu probably also knew that he was nervous, and it was rare that he didn't feel strangely angry with Cheng Yu.
Mother Lin was a little surprised when she saw Jiang Xu coming, "Why are you here too, Xiao Xu?"
"I'll see you." Jiang Xu politely said, "Auntie, you will be fine."
"I hope." Mother Lin said with a smile.
She was actually very nervous. At such a time, it was impossible for anyone not to be nervous.
Lin Anlan held her hand tightly, with unconscious worry and sadness in her eyes.
Mother Lin patted his shoulder and coaxed him, "It's okay."
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Mother Lin entered the operating room.
Lin Anlan and Lin's father sat at the door of the operating room, holding each other's hands.
"It'll be fine." Cheng Yu comforted them.
He silently prayed in his heart, hoping that Mother Lin could get through this and live a long life.
Several people waited for a long time before finally waiting for Professor Wang to come out.
Lin Anlan quickly stood up to greet him. Professor Wang took off his mask and smiled, "It's okay, the operation was successful, you can rest assured."
Lin Anlan finally let go of the heart that Lin Anlan had been carrying, "Thank you."
He unknowingly wet his eyes and smiled slowly again.
Professor Wang turned his head and glanced at Cheng Yu, nodded at him, and warned him of some precautions before leaving.
"It's alright, it's alright." Cheng Yu looked at Lin Anlan.
Lin Anlan nodded, looked at him with a smile, turned to look at her father, and hugged him.
Father Lin finally breathed a sigh of relief, and hugged his son, filled with joy.
Mother Lin stayed in the hospital for about two weeks before she could go home.
When she was discharged from the hospital, she was still a little surprised, "It's strange, I thought it would cost a lot of money this time, but I didn't expect it to cost only tens of thousands."
Father Lin was also very surprised. He was ready to take out all the savings in the family, but he couldn't sell the house, but it turned out to be less than 50,000 yuan.
This gap made Lin's father and Lin's mother feel that they had saved a lot of money.
When Lin Anlan heard what they said, her first reaction was that it had something to do with Cheng Yu.
He didn't admit it, "What does it have to do with me? It's all about the role of medical insurance. Long live socialism!"
Lin Anlan:…
Lin Anlan couldn't show any definite evidence, so she could only say, "Okay, but my parents said to invite you to dinner today, so you can go to my house tonight."
"Okay." Cheng Yu was pleasantly surprised, "I also miss my uncle and aunt a little bit."
"You just met a few days ago, in the hospital." Lin Anlan reminded him.
Cheng Yu sighed, "It's not like we haven't seen each other for a day. If it's every three autumns, you may not believe it. I knew my uncles and aunts right away. If you want, I actually want to recognize them as godparents and godparents."
Lin Anlan: ... Do you recognize them as godparents? You clearly want to call their parents directly!
Lin Anlan didn't answer this sentence, just pretended she didn't hear it.
It's a happy event that Lin's mother turns bad luck into good luck, so Lin's father specially cooked a sumptuous dinner to express his gratitude to Cheng Yu.
He watched Jiang Xu grow up, and he couldn't help but care about Jiang Xu. Thinking that he was alone now, he said to Lin Anlan, "Call Xiao Xu too. Anyway, he and Xiao Yu are also classmates. Xiao Yu shouldn't mind."
Lin Anlan said in her heart that you are really wrong, he doesn't mind, he just doesn't mind!
"It's still not good, they don't have a good relationship."
"Why?" Father Lin didn't quite understand, "Did Xiaoyu and Xiaoxu have any holiday?"
"There's no festival, but Jiang Xu just doesn't like Cheng Yu."
Now Father Lin doesn't understand, but his original intention for this meal was to thank Cheng Yu, so Jiang Xu could not come, but Cheng Yu had to come.
"Then don't call Xiaoxu, lest the two of them be embarrassed."
Lin Anlan nodded.
Lin's father persuaded him again, "You and they are both friends. If you have the opportunity, persuade Xiaoxu, Xiaoyu is a pretty good kid to me. Don't have any misunderstanding between them."
There is definitely no misunderstanding, but it is also certain that the eyes are not good.
Lin Anlan nodded, "I'll try my best."
When he said that, he didn't call Jiang Xu, but only called Cheng Yu to have dinner together in the evening.
Jiang Xu watched Cheng Yu go out of school with them, took the car together, took the elevator together, and finally went to his house with Lin Anlan.
He held down the elevator button and asked Lin Anlan, "Can't I go together?"
"Another day." Lin Anlan said warmly, "My parents thanked Cheng Yu for this meal today."
Jiang Xu of course knew that this meal was not for him, but watching Cheng Yu enter the room like this, he was always uncomfortable.
He let go and watched the elevator door slowly close. For some reason, he felt an inexplicable feeling. The feeling was very light but extremely heavy. He felt as if he was about to lose Lin Anlan.
Cheng Yu's offensive was too strong, and he wisely chose Lin's parents and Lin's mother as the entry point. No one would be more important in Lin Anlan's heart than his parents, so as long as Lin's parents and Lin's mother accepted Cheng Yu, then he Cheng Yu will also be accepted.
Jiang Xu sighed and walked back to his house. He opened the door and looked at his empty and unpopular home. If only he could be like Cheng Yu, then he could help Lin Anlan, help Lin's mother, not Ren Cheng Yu intervened, but he was powerless.
So, God is never fair.
Therefore, he hated Cheng Yu, the eldest young master who was aloof and ignorant of the sufferings of the world.
Cheng Yu and Lin Anlan entered the house together. He originally wanted to buy some gifts, but Lin Anlan insisted not to, and even said that he would not let him go to dinner if he bought them.
"Do you listen to me?" Lin Anlan asked him.
Cheng Yu couldn't understand what he said, so he had to go to Lin Anlan's house empty-handed, but he was still a little embarrassed.
"I was in a hurry to come. I forgot to buy a gift. I'll bring it to you when I come next time." He stood at the entrance and said to Mother Lin.
Mother Lin didn't have the nerve to ask for his gift, "As you said, you're still a student. You can come alone. If you take a gift, then Auntie doesn't want it."
She smiled and said, "Come in, your uncle cooked for you today, just to thank you, Xiaoyu, thank you so much for this matter, if you have time in the future, come here often, aunt and uncle You are always welcome."
