Happy time always passes very quickly. One day passed while Li Shu and I were bickering and chatting with each other. Because it was with my mother’s permission, there was no pressure to play and it was very comfortable.
I didn’t have dinner with Li Shu because my mother stipulated that I must go home around seven o’clock.
Li Shu dropped me off at the nearest platform. He pulled me and refused to let me get off the bus. After soaking for a while, Li Shu suggested that he buy me a glass of strawberry juice and then go home after drinking it.
Li Shu unethically parked the car at a place where it shouldn't have been parked. In fact, I was just as reluctant to leave as he was. I deliberately slowed down while drinking strawberry juice. Unfortunately, time waits for no one.
Li Shu said that time is the best way to test whether a man likes a woman. A lifetime with me is not enough.
In view of Li Shu's outstanding performance today, before leaving, I gently kissed Li Shu's forehead and then went home.
My mother was sitting on the sofa. To be honest, I don’t know where she found the time to wait for me. I didn’t want to say more to her. We had reached the point of mutual tolerance. Too much words would lead to mistakes. I hurriedly walked towards the stairs.
go.
There was a "bang" and I was so frightened that I hurriedly retracted my legs and turned to look at my mother. She was sitting upright and said with an annoyed look on her face: "Gao Ziran, did you go to school today?"
My heart thumped suddenly, I raised my head and looked at my mother, and responded harshly: "I went to school."
As soon as I finished speaking, my mother immediately stood up from the sofa, turned to look at me, and said angrily: "Gao Ziran, when did you learn to lie? Honestly, what did you do today?"
"I..." I looked at my mother and was stunned for a moment. I didn't know what to say. Did she find out? How did she find out? How much did she find out? Did she know that Li Shu and I went out today?
Just as my mother and I were confronting each other, the phone on the table suddenly rang. My mother glared at me and immediately walked towards the coffee table. I stared at her figure and breathed a sigh of relief.
But what should I do? How can I cover up my lies when Li Shu is not here? How much does my mother know? I was nervous and at a loss. Looking at my mother who answered the phone, a string in my heart was very tight.
"Okay, I understand..." My mother took my mobile phone, turned to look at me, and said, "Okay, I'll give the phone to Ranran right away, okay, okay, come home when you have time, auntie will give it to Ranran
You cook..."
My mother's expression changed so quickly that I didn't even know what was happening. I took the phone and heard a voice immediately on the other end of the phone.
It's Wei Zheng.
Why did Wei Zheng call us at this time?
"Just came back?"
"kindness."
"Go to your room, I have something to tell you." Wei Zheng ordered on the other end of the phone, his voice very calm.
I glanced at my mother and found that her expression had become calm. I raised my feet and walked upstairs. After taking two steps, I looked at my phone and asked, "How do you know I'm back now?"
Wei Zheng breathed a sigh of relief on the other end of the phone and said: "When I went to school in the morning, my aunt called me and asked if you had arrived at school. In the afternoon, I had dinner with Professor Ding. The professor answered the phone and asked about your class.
I guess Auntie is... more concerned about you. If Auntie asks about you later, just say you were at school in the morning and went out with me in the afternoon... I also know that lying is not a long-term solution, but don't say that, Auntie
Maybe I'll call your classmates..."
I leaned against the bedroom door and let out a long sigh. Yes, I underestimated my mother. How could she deal with it so easily? But I didn’t understand. She said she trusted, but she still knew how to check in action.
Aren’t you tired from coming and going to check?
"Ranran, will you listen to me again?"
Wei Zheng's words brought me back to my thoughts. I sniffed and said, "Wei Zheng, thank you today, otherwise I wouldn't know how to tell the lie. I just feel a little uncomfortable... My mother, she went too far..."
"Of course," Wei Zheng interrupted me and said, "Auntie also cares about you... Love is never a matter of two people. Later you will understand that many loves are defeated by reality. In fact, these problems are just a kind of
It's a test, cheer up. As long as you persevere, you will definitely win. Don't forget, the Anti-Japanese War lasted for eight years. Look at how hard our seniors can endure..."
Wei Zheng's joke made me laugh out loud and asked: "Is it possible that you regard my mother as a little Japan..."
"This..." Wei Zheng paused and said with a smile: "An analogy is just an analogy..."
I want to say that my mother’s perseverance is unmatched by little Japan.
After thanking Wei Zheng, he hung up the phone. He wanted to call Li Shu right away, but he was worried that he would be impulsive and run downstairs. Fortunately, today's incident was safe.
I went downstairs, put my phone on the coffee table, and walked straight up the stairs without talking to my mother.
I was a little angry, but more importantly, I didn't know what to say.
When I went up a step, my mother's voice sounded behind me, saying: "Of course... just now..."
I heard the apology in my mother's tone, which only made me feel worse.
I didn't say anything because I didn't know how to reply to her for the time being. Then I heard her say: "Of course, don't blame mom for being cruel today. You will be grateful to me in the future. Mom did all this for you. Your brother is a boy."
My child, I don’t need to push you so hard, but you are a girl, and your mother must be responsible for you."
Sometimes, parents' love is profound and heartbreaking. They have worked so hard, but we have never thought about whether what they gave us is what we need.
I know that we can't communicate now. I feel sorry for my mother's good intentions, but I feel that the love between Li Shu and me is pitiful. Thinking that the love Wei Zheng said has failed in reality, I gently bite my lip and say: "Earlier
Just rest, it’s not a big deal..."
My mother is not talking. Once upon a time, I was her little cotton-padded jacket. We were considerate. My mother never frowned on what I wanted. My father was in the army all year round. It was my mother who supported the family alone. She was indeed the most important person.
Hard work.
I lay on the bed, opened the window, and felt the cool night breeze blowing in my face. In this season, the weather can easily change.
Thinking of my mother's irritable behavior today, I suddenly felt upset. Some kind of restless factor was crawling in my body, and I wanted to suck fans.
It's been a long time since I returned to China. For the first time, I want to be wild for a while.
I knew Li Shu wouldn't like it. I looked at the letters placed by my bedside. It was the 11th letter, the second week after I left.
"Second goods, of course,
I can't help but miss you.
I know you must have your reasons for not coming to see me. Don't tell me you're sorry. I don't need it.
I forgive you.
Every day, I will automatically replay in my brain all the little actions you like in the classroom, thinking about the fan blowing your hair, thinking about you silently writing with a pencil tip, and thinking about you carrying pure water on the stairs every time.
Mouth complains.
At that time, you should have complained about me, right?
However, this letter is short, but I hope you can read it.
A patient needs your comfort at this moment.
Make a decision and never regret it.
When it comes to being with you, I still won't even blink.
My handwriting looks much better, doesn’t it? Come on, come to the hospital to see me, and we can make peace as before.
——The plum tree that you despised."
The anxiety finally eased for a moment. I took a gentle breath, lay on the bed, placed a pillow, and closed my eyes.
Li Shu, your persistence is now the same as mine.
That night, there was the sound of rain pouring outside. In midsummer, a heavy rain was coming.
My heart is very calm, because I know that I must persist in what I want.
Time is such a nasty guy. If we take the two years since I left as an interval, am I the same plum tree I used to be?
I can't answer this question, but one thing I know very well is that the plum tree has not changed, and I have not changed either.
What changes is only time and the people and things we pass by.
Those who wait in place and let time leave behind are the most precious.
The next day was the weekend, and I got up very early. When I separated from Li Shu yesterday, Li Shu told me that he would take me to see something today. He didn’t say what it was specifically, and I didn’t ask any more questions, but my mood was still the same.
Excited.
After getting up, I realized that my mother was not at home. Only Aunt Xia was busy making breakfast in the kitchen. I looked at the time and it was 8:30 in the morning. The time agreed with Li Shu was 9 o'clock.
So, I had breakfast quietly until Li Shu called.
My mother was not at home, so I told Li Shu directly in the code. Li Shu said excitedly: "Then what are you waiting for? Come out after dinner, I will wait for you at the old place."
I went out happily.
It rained all night last night, and when I went out, I realized that it was very cool today, suitable for outdoor sports.
With yesterday's successful date, I didn't feel so anxious when I went out today. I didn't expect that Li Shu would buy flowers. When I received the flowers, I was in a very good mood.
Li Shu drove around half a circle and finally stopped in the community behind our school.
I asked him what he was doing, but he didn't say anything, just took my hand and walked forward.
I got on and off the elevator, and I was taken to the door of a room by Li Shu. Li Shu took out the door card from his pocket, swiped it into the room, and the door opened.
After entering the door, I discovered that it was a small apartment of more than 60 square meters.
The interior furnishings look very new, as if they were prepared within the past six months.
But, what did Li Shu bring me here to do?
Li Shu noticed my doubtful eyes, came over, held my hand, smiled and asked, "Do you like it?"
I looked around. It was not the high-end and luxurious suites at Gao Zijian's place. It was simply decorated, but the lines were smooth, bright and soft, which is the style I like.
Seeing me nodding, Li Shu said with a smile: "Gao Ziran, after class, I will cook lunch for you here, okay?"
After listening to Li Shu's words, I roughly understood what Li Shu meant, and asked with a smile: "Is this the meaning of the golden house hiding the beauty?"
Li Shu shook his head and said, "No, the ending of Cangjiao in the Golden House is not good. I don't like it."
"superstitious……"
"It has something to do with you, I am superstitious..." Li Shu pulled me down like a child and said with a smile: "From now on, this will be Gao Ziran's second home."
Li Shu thought about me, and I was very touched by this.
It’s just my mom…
Li Shu didn't give me a chance to think about this problem. He turned over and pressed me under him. His kiss was so hot that I couldn't breathe. I struggled "angry", saying that he had planned it for a long time.
.
Li Shu just smiled, and the two of us stuck together tightly. At this moment, Li Shu's cell phone rang.
Li Shu pressed the answer button impatiently. The voice on the other end of the phone was no one more familiar to me than me. It was my mother.
I expected that my mother would not relax about the matter between me and Li Shu, but what surprised me was, why would she call Li Shu at this time?
"Aunt?"
"Come here and open the door!" my mother yelled angrily and hung up the phone.
My mother is outside the door? How did my mother find this place? Didn't she go out in the morning?
