This small foreign-style building has three floors. Chu He has only eaten on the first floor and has never been to the second floor. So he doesn’t know the topography of the second floor.
There are three rooms on the second floor. There is a public bathroom next to the stairs. Further forward is a suite with a bathroom. The door is slightly closed, but not tightly closed. A glance at the furnishings in the room reveals the atmosphere of a cute girl.
It must be Huo'er's boudoir. The room at the end of the corridor is probably Xia He's boudoir, right?
Chu He stood at the door and pondered.
Should I enter? What should I say after entering? But not to enter - that would be too irresponsible.
He hesitated a little, but finally chose to go in.
He raised his hand and knocked on the door gently.
No one responded.
Chu He's mouth was a little bitter. He experienced great joy and sorrow last night. Tonight, he was made trouble by his only relative. I'm afraid it would be difficult for anyone to accept it, right?
It is not easy for Xia He to maintain a healthy outlook on life to this day.
He knocked lightly on the door several times in succession, but there was no movement in the room. Chu He was quite worried and couldn't help but open the door.
The girl was lying on the bed with a thin blanket on her belly. There were headphones in her ears, and there were tiny teardrops on her long eyelashes. She must have just cried, but she didn't make a sound. She was afraid of being heard.
Chu He had a similar state of mind, especially when he first joined the army.
When there is no one around you to rely on and love you, tears are worthless.
cry?
Who are you crying for?
The whole world is laughing at you.
Maybe she fell asleep.
She was tortured both physically and mentally, and sleeping might be the only way to escape the pain. After all, she was not a girl who was so strong and fearless. When her body and mind could not bear the reality, sleeping became a channel to escape from everything.
She slept restlessly. Her brows were slightly furrowed. Even her slender palms were gently grasping the sheets. It was as if she was undergoing tremendous suffering in a dream.
There were tears on her beautiful and flawless cheeks that had not yet evaporated. They slipped from the corners of her eyes, followed her earlobes, and fell on the pillow. Her graceful and exquisite body lay flat on the bed, but it did not bring a strong vision to Chu He.
Shock. In other words, facing such a lonely girl, who would have evil thoughts?
Chu He's eyes fell on the girl's knees. The blood had solidified, making the girl look even more lonely and helpless. Chu He opened his mouth, but in the end he was reluctant to wake her up.
The world is too cruel and society is too cruel. Waking her up will only make her suffer more pain and annoyance. Why bother?
Chu He quietly came to the bedside and covered her with a quilt gently. He was about to get up and leave the bedroom when she moved.
She sleeps very lightly. After her mother passed away, she could no longer sleep peacefully. No one would cook for her, and no one would urge her to get up and go to class. She could no longer mix the happiness and unhappiness in life.
Share with your mother that when you come home from school, she has to cook by herself. After eating, she has to wash her own clothes. When she gets up in the morning, she also has to spread the sheets by herself. If she doesn't spread them, she can only sleep in the doghouse at night.
She woke up.
Her beautiful eyes were filled with tears. Even in her deep sleep, her sadness never stopped. Her arms were pale from grabbing the sheets too much. Her eyes were opened wide because she did not want tears to fall. In fact, her eyes were already very
It's big and beautiful.
Chu He sat by the bed, not knowing what to say to make this poor girl feel better. So, he stretched out his hand and asked softly: "What are you listening to? Can you tell Director Chu?"
Without waiting for Xia He's refusal or objection, he took off an earphone and inserted it into his ear.
The melody was so familiar that Chu He couldn't remember what song it was. But he knew that he must have heard it. He felt sad for a while.
The song was sung by a group of children. The lyrics are as follows:
The only good thing in the world is mother. A mother's child is like a treasure. He falls into his mother's arms and cannot enjoy happiness.
A child without a mother will be miserable, and a child without a mother is like a grass. Without the mother's arms, happiness is nowhere to be found.
Chu He didn't laugh. He couldn't laugh either.
This song can make countless people laugh. Men, women, children, adults. Tasteless, bumpkin. Childish, boring.
That's because they have a mother. That's because they haven't lost their mother. But what should children who lose their mothers do?
Chu He took a deep breath and took off his headphones.
He didn't dare to listen anymore because he didn't have a mother, and also because Xia He didn't have a mother.
He turned around and walked out of the room. When he came back, he had a medical kit, a hot towel, and a bowl of fragrant egg noodles in his hand.
He knew that Xia He had not eaten dinner. He knew that the poor girl had been hungry all night. He forcefully stuffed the egg noodles into the girl's hands, helped her sit on the bed, and said in a commanding tone:
"eat."
Xia He was at a loss, but she picked up her chopsticks and started eating.
Chu He lifted her slender legs that could be used as leg molds. She wiped the blood stains with a hot towel and sprayed disinfectant alcohol on them. Then she wrapped them with gauze.
Xia He shed tears while eating. The tears fell into the bowl.
Chu He put her legs under the quilt, then sat on the bedside, wiping away the tears on her face. He said softly: "The noodles are not delicious?"
Xia He shook his head.
"Then why did you only eat a few mouthfuls?" Chu He asked.
Xia He stopped eating noodles and big tears fell from his eyes: "I miss my mother...so much..."
Chu He's nose was sore and his eyes were red. He wiped away the tears on the girl's face, but was speechless.
I have never owned it. If I lose it, I will regret it. But it will not break my heart.
Xia Hehui. Xia He, who had only his mother to take care of him since he was a child, couldn't bear it at all.
Chu He couldn't help but hugged Xia He tightly.
Xia He cried harder and harder. She cried until she was hoarse.
Chuhe gave her the happiest moment since her mother passed away. But why was it so short? It was so short that she had nothing before she had time to taste it.
Life is full of sorrow and suffering, but why is life full of sorrow and suffering? Isn’t it possible that you don’t want to give away any happiness or beauty?
"I don't know what the ring means. I never thought that the ring would be so important. Just like my ex-wife. After I returned to China, she easily flushed the ring into the toilet. Xiaoxia, everything happened so suddenly. I don't know how to explain it.
I don’t understand your intentions at all. But I know what I did was wrong. It was very wrong.”
Xia He hugged Chu He's shoulders tightly. At this moment, only Chu He's shoulders could give her warmth and a sense of security.
"Don't you mind my work?"
"You said it too. This is your job. Am I going to blame a self-reliant, strong and independent girl?"
"You are so good. So perfect -"
"You're not excellent or perfect?" Chu He smiled.
"Then you -" Xia He raised his head and looked at Chu He nervously and anxiously. His eyes were a little dodgey, as if he didn't dare to face what was coming.
"If I told you that I have a crush on Huo'er and wanted to confess to Huo'er, what would your mentality be like?" Chu He asked.
"Really?" Xia He asked in disbelief. "But - she is not yet an adult."
"I was just joking." Chu He laughed loudly and said, "Are you serious?"
Xia He was slightly embarrassed and said softly: "What do you mean, Director Chu -"
"At the beginning, I am a counselor and you are my student. I have never thought about this. That's why I had the previous misunderstanding." Chu He said. "Secondly, although I am conservative, as long as I love
.Nothing can stop me. Director Chu has always been such a wild and domineering man."
Xia He wanted to laugh, but in her current mood, she really couldn't laugh. She asked nervously and reservedly: "Then Director Chu - do you like me?"
"What reason should I have not to like such an outstanding girl?" Chu He smiled tenderly. "You are kind, caring, polite, delicate, virtuous, and so beautiful."
Xia He had never been praised so blatantly, and she couldn't help herself for a moment. A faint blush appeared on her beautiful cheeks, and she said softly: "You are better."
"Xiaoxia, can you give Director Chu some time?" Chu He asked tentatively.
"Ah?" Xia He asked nervously, unable to recover for a moment.
"Director Chu is still immersed in the pain of being cruelly abandoned by his ex-wife. When Director Chu is out of trouble, I will love you without hesitation." After Chu He said this, he lay down on the bed as if to show his innocence. "If Mr. Xiaoxia
I don’t believe Director Chu. I can punish Director Chu on the spot right now. But speaking of it, I’m a little excited to do something shameful with my own students.”
"——"
Xia He blushed and spat secretly, how could there be such a man? Even if they really confirmed their relationship, they wouldn't necessarily do that kind of thing, right?
She couldn't help but move to the side and said in a trembling voice: "Director Chu, I believe you. As long as you don't dislike me or hate me, I can wait as long as you want. I was too sensitive and sentimental before."
"You are not allowed to talk about yourself like that." Chu He sat up suddenly and stared at Xia He righteously. "God knows how many men admire such an outstanding girl like you. If you can get the sincerity of classmate Xiao Xia, that is Chu He."
The director is lucky. How can you say you are being sentimental?"
"Director Chu really thinks so?" Xia He bit her soft lips, not daring to look at Chu He.
"Of course." Chu He took out the ring from his arms and sighed softly. "Speaking of which, it was this ring that caused the trouble."
Xia He looked at the ring, his body trembled slightly, and said with difficulty: "Director Chu, you didn't give the ring to Sister Xu?"
"Thanks to Xu Ying for reminding me this time. Otherwise, I will definitely miss the girl who treats me sincerely." Chu He said with emotion. "It's a pity that the box was lost to me. That box is really beautiful."
Xia He frowned with joy and whispered: "Director Chu, actually - actually after you threw the box into the trash can, I picked it up again."
Chu He's heart was suddenly hit.
The girl was brutally injured by herself, and then she picked up the box alone. What a desolate and sad scene it must be?
Chu He held the girl's hand and said softly: "The ring is now given to you. If you lose it, don't blame Director Chu for cruelly claiming 10 million from you."
The girl held it in her hand and said obligingly: "I will never lose it. If I lose it one day, I won't be able to live anymore."
"Don't talk nonsense." Chu He covered the girl's red lips with his fingers. They were soft and warm. As soon as he touched them, it felt like an electric shock.
He is like this, and so is Xia He.
There was a faint smell of tobacco between his fingers. It was not a pleasant smell, but Xia He took a greedy sip. He wanted to imprint this man's unique smell into his mind.
Her cheeks turned red, she raised her head slightly and murmured: "Director Chu——"
"Yeah." Chu He was confused and fell into a kind of charming emotion.
