Finally, I mustered up the courage to write you a letter. I struggled for a long time to make this decision.
After I saw you last time in our school playground, I have been waiting for you to call me. Every time the phone rings, I will think about whether you are calling, but every time I end up disappointed. This feeling
, maybe you don’t understand, but for me, it is a kind of torture. It turns out that waiting for a call from someone can be so heart-wrenching.
Do you still remember the first day of high school? You may not remember, but I have never forgotten it. It was drizzling that day. For people in Qiong County, rainy days are happy and auspicious days. At the county bus station
, I saw you standing in the rain with your head up happily, with a sweet smile on your face, the falling raindrops hitting your face, and holding a bed roll wrapped in oil paper in your hand, and you stood in the waiting room without caring.
I was standing among the people looking out from the window. That was the first time I saw you. I thought you looked very handsome and had an innocent and silly air. Only when I registered at school did I know that you and I were studying together.
In the same class, my heart was beating with excitement. Although I didn’t say a word to you, and you didn’t look at me, from that moment on, for three years, I watched you silently and attentively.
Every vacation is the most difficult time for me. Other students think the vacation is too short and they don’t have enough fun, but I feel it is particularly long. I cross off the days on the calendar day by day, counting how many days there are until I leave school.
I look forward to seeing you again and your eyes that always look at me. On the last day of every vacation, I can’t wait to fall asleep. I keep my eyes open until dawn, thinking about what I will do after I see you.
What would you say to me, what should I say to you, but after we met, it remained the same. If you didn’t look at me, I wouldn’t say anything to you. That’s it, we didn’t say anything during the three years of high school.
In just a few words, I graduated.
But my heart was still beating loudly when I first saw you. It did not weaken after graduation and we were separated. Instead, it became more cheerful and restless until I met you again on the playground of the Normal University.
Only after seeing you did I understand why I cared about someone so much. It was another kind of emotion besides family affection. I longed for the comfort of this emotion.
Liu Gen, please give me a call or reply to this letter after you receive this letter. No matter what the outcome is, I will cherish my feelings for you.
I'm waiting for you……
Xu Yazhi read the letter on the night of October 29, 1999. Liu Gen also walked to the stairs of the dormitory. He put the letter away, but he was in a bad mood. He did not feel surprised and excited like others who received a love letter, but felt a little heavy.
Unexpectedly, Ice Beauty has been secretly in love with him for three years, and he didn’t know it until now. Liu Gen put himself in her shoes, how would she feel if she had a crush on him?
Liu Gen can understand Xu Yazhi's emotions.
Liu Gen decided to talk to Xu Yazhi in person and tell her the fact that he already had someone he liked. Although he could make a phone call or write a letter to explain to her, he didn't want to be perfunctory like that. He had to be very careful.
I sincerely express my gratitude to her. A girl can muster up the courage to confess to herself. Based on this, she should give her the most sincere reply, even if it is rejection.
Walking into the dormitory, Xiangzi said: "Brother Gen, Liu Zhi called me this afternoon and asked me to tell you that you don't need to send her any more money. She said that the money you sent back was enough, and that everything at home was fine, so that you don't have to worry about her.
.”
"That's all? Didn't Liu Zhi tell me about my father?" What Liu Gen wanted to know was whether his father had been taken to the county hospital.
"She said everything is fine at home, so she must have taken her uncle to the hospital as you said." Xiangzi replied.
Liu Gen began to change clothes and prepare to work in the anatomy teaching and research room.
"Brother Gen, what are you doing?" Xiangzi asked strangely.
"I found a new job, helping the professor organize things in the anatomy room." Liu Gen replied, without mentioning anything about working with corpses.
“How much money can I make in a month?”
"It just started yesterday, so I don't know yet."
"Why didn't you ask me beforehand so that you wouldn't be fooled like a hospital worker?"
Liu Gen changed his clothes, threw them on the bed, and asked Xiangzi: "Are you still used to being in the entertainment city?"
"Haha... It's good. There are a lot of people there. I heard that you can get tips. If you meet someone who is generous, you can get an old man's head at a time." Xiangzi said one hundred yuan.
"People won't give you money for free. That kind of money is hot to the touch. Don't do immoral things for others just to get tips!" Liu Gen reminded Xiangzi before going out.
Xiangzi muttered in a low voice: "If you don't take money when you have money, you'll be sorry for your own conscience." He took off Liu Gen's clothes that were still on the bed and went to the bathroom to wash them for him.
When I was washing it with my hands, I realized that there was something in my pocket. I took it out and saw that it was a letter. The envelope was almost torn. Xiangzi hurriedly took out the letter paper inside, which was wet with water. He opened it carefully and thought
After drying them, his eyes saw the name written at the end of the letter. He was so shocked that he read the letter from beginning to end. His hands were shaking with anger. He tore the letter into pieces, threw it into the potty and flushed it with water, cursing in his mouth:
"Good riddance to you Liu Gen! So I knew the whereabouts of Xu Yazhi! But you hid it from me! You are really nothing!"
"Xiangzi, who are you scolding?" Zhang Jian and Wu Siqi walked into the dormitory and happened to hear Xiangzi's curse.
"Oh, it's nothing!" Xiangzi stopped washing clothes, walked out, said hello to Wu Siqi, and went out.
"Who messed with him?" Zhang Jian walked out of the balcony and looked to see if there was no one else. He went to the bathroom to get his toiletries and put them in the basin.
"Zhang Jian, go quickly. There will be many people in the bathhouse after school." Wu Siqi urged.
"We must find a house to live in as soon as possible, otherwise it will be troublesome to take a shower." Zhang Jian took Wu Siqi's hand and walked out the door and said: "The school does not allow water heaters to be installed. For an apartment like this, it still charges so much money every year."
"It's useless to install it. There is insufficient power and we can't boil hot water." Wu Siqi said: "Some of our girls' colleges have paid for the installation themselves, but they can't be washed at all. It's just like cold water."
"After taking a shower, let's make an appointment with Wang Jiahe and go to the North Courtyard to see if there are any houses for rent. Otherwise, we won't be able to survive this winter," Zhang Jian said.
It was almost seven o'clock when Liu Gen came back from working in the anatomy building. He didn't see Xiangzi, and no one helped him get food. Only Li Chengzai was in the dormitory.
"Squad leader, do you know where Xiangzi went?" Liu Gen asked.
"I don't know." Li Chengzai answered coldly, sitting at the table and reading a book without raising his head.
He was still angry about what Li Fangfei said. Liu Gen opened his mouth and wanted to explain something to him, but felt that there was nothing to say, so he took his lunch box and bowl and went to the cafeteria to get some food.
However, Xiangzi never came back. After Liu Gen finished eating, he went to the bathroom to wash the lunch box and saw the clothes soaked in the basin. He thought that this was bad. Xiangzi must have seen the letter written by Xu Yazhi.
Liu Gen finished washing the clothes and Li Chengzai went out. He was going to go to the entertainment city to find Xiangzi and explain the misunderstanding to him.
Zhang Jian and the others came back chattering.
"Brother Gen, we found the house." Zhang Jian walked in and said with a smile: "Where is Xiangzi?"
"He went out and hasn't come back yet." Liu Gen replied.
"We can move in tomorrow." Wang Jiahe said: "One thousand six hundred and sixty-one for a three-bedroom apartment with a water heater and everything. Zhang Jian is a rich man and can bear a big burden. Xiangzi and I each contribute three hundred.
Haha... Tonight is the last night for us to sleep together. To celebrate, I suggest that we go to the barbecue shop on Daxue Road for a drink... If the monitor has gone to self-study, I will call him up. "
"I have something else to do, you go and have a drink." Liu Gen was not in the mood to celebrate with them.
After Xiangzi read the letter, he thought Liu Gen had deceived him. And, most importantly, he finally knew why Xu Yazhi ignored the love letters he wrote. It turned out that she liked his good friend Liu Gen and had been secretly in love with him for three years.
This was a huge blow to Xiangzi, making him angry and angry at the same time. Liu Genming knew the whereabouts of Xu Yazhi tomorrow morning, but kept it secret. Why?
Xiangzi couldn't figure it out and always thought he had been deceived by Liu Gen. He got in the car and went straight to Nanhai Normal University. He wanted to go to Xu Yazhi to ask clearly, but when he drove to the suburbs, he calmed down.
Isn't there Qiu Ye now? Why should I care about a woman who doesn't take me seriously?
Thinking of Qiu Ye, Xiangzi didn't hate Liu Gen so much anymore. He thought there must be a reason why Liu Gen didn't tell him Xu Yazhi's whereabouts. From the letter, he also saw that Liu Gen didn't have any deeper relationship with Xu Yazhi, it was just Xu Yazhi's secret love.
Just willow roots.
"I shouldn't blame Brother Gen. He is not that kind of person. In this world, I only have a good friend who has passed away like him. When I was desperate, it was Brother Gen who took me in." Xiangzi said to himself,
I turned the car around and drove back, but it was almost eight o'clock for work, so I went directly to the entertainment city.
After Yanagi took the bus to the entertainment city, he saw Xiangzi and another man in a black suit standing at the door.
"Brother Gen, why are you here?" When Xiangzi saw Liu Gen, he guessed about it, but he still pretended not to know anything and asked.
Liu Gen pulled Xiangzi aside: "Xiangzi, I'm sorry, I should have told you earlier that Xu Yazhi was studying at Nanhai Normal University, but I thought that your current situation would make her underestimate you, so I didn't tell you the news.
When I came out, I didn’t tell her about you and me being together. As for that letter..."
"Brother Gen, you don't need to explain, I understand." Xiangzi was extremely happy. It turned out that Liu Gen had been thinking about himself. He was glad that he did not insult Liu Gen for this, nor did he do anything impulsive. He felt that his judgment was right.
, making him believe in Liu Gen’s character even more.
"Then why don't you go back to school to eat?" Liu Gen said, "I was worried that you wouldn't be able to think about it!"
"Haha... If I can't think about it, I would have jumped into the sea to eat like fish and shrimps when I was wandering." Xiangzi said with an embarrassed smile.
"Xiangzi, please remember." Liu Gen carefully put his hands on Xiangzi's shoulders and said, "No matter when or where I am, I will never do anything to hurt the feelings of brothers. Please believe me."
"I believe it!" Xiangzi replied with a nod.
Wen Hanmei walked out of the door at this time, followed by Sun Hongming. When she saw Liu Gen talking to Xiangzi, she stepped forward and asked with a smile: "Liu Gen, are you worried that your brother will learn bad things from me?"
