Deluge - Chapter 57

[Chapter 57]

Xu Juan hung up the phone, but the tears didn’t stop.

Pei Yu told him to wait a moment and come right away. He sat in the living room and counted the time, crying while counting. Halfway through crying, I felt that my appearance was too ugly, like a child, which was really funny.

He wiped away his tears, and before his smile could unfold, new tears fell down again and again, flushing his entire face, his eyes swollen into peaches.

When Pei Yu arrived, Xu Juan carried two red “peaches” to open the door.

His vision was blurred, and he was out of breath from crying. Pei Yu was stunned: “What’s wrong with you? What happened?”

Xu Juan directly hugged Pei Yu regardless of the situation.

Sometimes the more people are comforted, the more sad, Xu Juan seems to have fallen into evil, and weeps Pei Yu’s coat.

Pei Yu laboriously took a hand out of his embrace, closed the door, and dragged him in. Like a sandbag, he picked him up and pressed him on the sofa.

“Stop crying.” Pei Yu took off his coat and threw it to the corner of the sofa, “What happened? You said.”

Xu Juan was speechless.

Pei Yu took out two tissues from the coffee table and wiped his tears: “Why are you crying like this, your family is bankrupt?”

“…”

Xu Juan showed a smile that was uglier than crying, and said in a hoarse voice, “No… No, my dad is sick, stomach cancer.”

After he finished speaking, he began to cry again, the word “stomach cancer” was pronounced through the cry and changed its tone, Pei Yu was slightly taken aback, and pressed him into his arms: “Don’t Cry, don’t be afraid.” There was no more powerful consolation, Pei Yu sighed, “You want to open up.”

Xu Juan cried so much that his mind was clouded and his consciousness was chaotic.

Pei Yu hugged the back of his head and patted his head coaxingly: “Don’t cry, Xu Juan, your dad will be cured.”

Xu Juan shook his head and choked: “If it can’t be cured, we can only control the disease, and then drag it back…”

The more he cried, the more he cried, and Pei Yu couldn’t help it at all.

Xu Juan is a very sharp person, like a knife. Wherever he goes, the blade will cut where he goes. Others are hurt by him, but he himself is not strong.

Mostly because he is too superior, he has lived smoothly since he was a child, the only setback is that he competes with himself, and it is difficult for the outside world to hurt him.

He finally realized that no matter how superior he is, he is still powerless in the face of life, what should be lost will still be lost, and no one can change it.

But a person who is not strong must learn to be strong sooner or later. If his father is gone, he can only stand up by himself and become the person who stands upright. From now on, the wind, frost, rain and snow will be borne by himself, no one will be his backer, and no one will be It is his retreat. He has grown up, and it is time to shelter others from the wind and rain.

Xu Juan cried until he was hoarse, Pei Yu kept holding him, and when he gradually became silent, he lowered his head and kissed his forehead, and said, “Don’t cry, my parents will leave us sooner or later, sooner or later there will be this day, you Don’t be too sad.”

Xu Juan nodded, breathing weakly, gasping for breath.

Pei Yu told him about his past: “My dad passed away when I was in elementary school, and he was also sick.”

“…”

“But he was acutely ill. He collapsed as soon as he attacked, and he was sent to the hospital without rescue. When I was ten years old, when I came home from school one day, I saw my mother sitting in the living room crying. I asked her, what about my father, and she said that my father was gone and would never come back.”

Pei Yu’s tone of voice is always restrained, but when he talks about this, it is inevitable to bring a bit of sadness across time: “I didn’t quite understand it at the time, it’s hard to believe that my father suddenly… I thought he and my mother divorced Now, leave my mother at home alone, don’t want her anymore. Because there is a little girl in our class like this, her mother raised her alone, so I was very afraid that my mother would be sad, I said it’s okay, don’t be afraid, I will help You do housework, don’t be afraid… My mother held me and cried all night, just like I hold you now, she held me in her arms, she said, Pei Yu, you won’t have a father in the future, you have to Grow up well, don’t let me worry.”

“…”

Xu Juan’s tears came out again, he hugged Pei Yu tightly, and heard Pei Yu say in his ear: “So I grew up well-behaved. Now, study hard, listen to my mother’s words, and make mistakes if you don’t make mistakes, I’m afraid she will be sad. But my mother is more open-minded than me, so people have to think a bit more openly, otherwise how will life be? You can’t wash your face with tears every day. It’s over, but you still have to keep moving forward. Don’t cry, Xu Juan, you’re not a child anymore.”

Pei Yu’s tone became serious, and he pressed Xu Juan’s head with both hands, pulling him out of his arms. pushed out.

Then, Pei Yu changed his posture, freeing one hand to take a tissue, and wiped Xu Juan’s face again.

“I found that you seem stupid.” Pei Yu said, “You cry like a fool at every turn. Why do you look so smart? Are all your smarts used to figure out how to trick people? Why don’t you know how to coax people? Coax yourself?”

“You are stupid.” Xu Juan reluctantly retorted.

Pei Yu was not happy, the tissue in his hand became a murder weapon, and when he rubbed it on his face, Xu Juan’s nose was pressed crookedly, upturned like a pig, funny and pitiful, Pei Yu was satisfied: “No I cried, I cried so ugly.”

Xu Juan obediently stopped crying, but she was depressed and couldn’t be happy.

He was dazed and fell on Pei Yu’s shoulder, with his forehead pressed against the cloth wet from his crying, and whispered, “You and your mother have had a hard time these years, haven’t you.”

Pei Yu said no: “Fortunately, my aunt takes good care of us. I received a lot of scholarships when I went to school, and my job went smoothly after graduation. My mother is doing well now, but she doesn’t worry about me. She wants me to get married soon.”

“…” Xu Juan paused and said boldly, “It’s good to get married early, can you marry me?”

Pei Yu was stunned.

Xu Juan repeated: “Why don’t you marry me, your mother is old, don’t make her unhappy anymore, listen to her, get married early and be safe.”

Pei Yu: “…”

Xu Juan His eyes were red, his voice was muffled, but his tone was clear: “I really like you, and I want to live a good life with you and build a family of our own. I used to think that love should be a very romantic thing, vigorous and earth-shattering. I don’t think so anymore. I just want to live with the person I like. When I am sad, he can comfort me. When he is sad, I will also be his support. I will not let him lose me. I don’t want to lose him either, if nothing else can be kept, at least let’s go to the end together, okay, Pei Yu?”

“…”

This may be the ugliest moment in Xu Juan’s life, crying in a mess, The eyes were so swollen that they seemed disfigured, and there was no appearance at all.

But it was also his most sincere moment.

Pei Yu stared at him blankly, trying to refuse but unable to refuse, love is never controlled by others –

“Okay.” Pei Yu lowered his head and kissed his red and swollen eyes, “Then you have to be obedient, and don’t go out to recruit bees in the future. It’s absolutely impossible to attract a butterfly.”

“Well, absolutely not.” Xu Juan also kissed him.
