Chapter 33 Ripples
I didn't wait too long, and there was a "dong-dong-dong" sound of footsteps coming from the corridor, which gave me a feeling of "the sound came before the person arrived."
Chen Zhu looked over and saw the outline of a tall figure first appearing in the darkness.
In the blink of an eye, the silhouette stepped out of the unit building.
At this time, the faint moonlight seemed to have magic. When the silhouette touched the moonlight, I felt my eyes dazzled and suddenly turned into a flower-like Yu Xian.
"How long have you been waiting, Director Chen?"
The corners of Yu Xian's mouth raised slightly, and his eyes shone with happiness.
Since the death of my mother, I have always gone to visit her grave alone in previous years. I never expected that someone would accompany me this year.
For Yu Xian, it doesn't matter if he is alone.
But if there is one more person, it can only be Chen Zhu.
Grandma is old.
My father has remarried again.
Wu Yu did offer to accompany her, but she was rejected. Yu Xian felt that it was too early and did not want to trouble her best friend.
Yu Xian himself has a very independent personality and doesn't like to owe others favors, but he doesn't know why he doesn't want to refuse Chen Zhu's help. He seems to want to have more bonds between the two.
"If he comes to me for something next time, I will do my best to help him!"
Yu Xian comforted himself in this way.
Maybe Wu Yu is right, girls who are in love can't control the spread of their feelings, and they will really make excuses for themselves.
"I just arrived."
Chen Zhu stomped his feet and replied, then pointed to the large and small packages in Yu Xian's hand: "Are these heavy? Do you want to help you get them?"
"OK! Then it's time for Director Lao Chen!"
Yu Xian directly handed the big bag to Chen Zhu.
Chen Zhu took it and said, "Is it possible that I'm just being polite?"
"Is it possible that I don't understand it at all?"
Yu Xian crossed his waist, looking like "I'm stupid but I have a point".
Chen Zhu smiled. This big bag just looked bloated, but it was actually very light. It was estimated that there were some memorial items such as paper money inside.
"Let's go, let's take a taxi first."
Chen Zhu was the first to walk out of the community, but his posture was rather "awkward".
He held the big bag with both hands and walked slowly because his sight was blocked. His shadow on the ground looked like a big-bellied Donald Duck, which was extremely inconsistent with the calm and confident image of "Director Chen" in the past.
Chen Zhu walked a few steps and found that Yu Xian, who was only carrying a small bag, had not followed. He couldn't help but turned around and shouted: "Hurry up."
"I know~"
Yu Xian dragged out a long tail note, and his long burgundy hair loose around his waist was also trembling playfully.
"Humph! I have been so old-fashioned all day, but now I look like a teenager."
······
After leaving the community, it was still bright and clear, and occasionally there were sanitation workers wearing orange overalls cleaning garbage.
Chen Zhu looked at the electronic watch on his wrist, it was just 5 o'clock.
There are no buses at this point now, and it is probably difficult to even get a taxi. However, Guangdong City is a first-tier city, and there will still be empty taxis if you wait.
The two stood side by side at the intersection. Yu Xian saw Chen Zhu stamping his feet and shaking his shoulders, and couldn't help but ask: "Are you cold?"
"Aren't you cold?"
Chen Zhu asked in surprise, the school uniform made of gauze material was too thin, and when the wind blew occasionally, it felt like he was wearing nothing.
But Yu Xian doesn't seem to be cold. Everyone is wearing school uniforms, so why can she open her collar and expose her collarbone? I just want to hide my head in the zipper?
"You guys really can't stand the cold."
Yu Xian curled his lips and said, "I can wear short skirts that expose my calves even in winter. Remember, this is not winter in eastern Guangdong, but our winter in Sichuan and Chongqing."
Chen Zhu was not happy when he heard this. He put down his big bag and started to take off Yu Xian's clothes: "Come on, come on, show your style and take off your coat for me to wear..."
Yu Xian would naturally refuse on the street, but it was not boring to have an argument like this, and it didn't take long to get a taxi.
After sitting down in the back row, Yu Xian opened the small bag. It turned out to be some breakfast of eggs, corn and soy milk.
She was worried that it would get cold if she opened it outside.
"When did you go buy breakfast?"
Chen Zhu asked doubtfully.
"I did it myself!"
Yu Xian rolled his eyes and handed Chen a piece of corn.
Chen Zhu then remembered that Yu Xian could cook, and his skills were very good. He really couldn't be deceived by her charming and pretty appearance.
Chen Zhu was really hungry, so she picked up the corn and started to eat it. After eating it in a few times, she suddenly found that Yu Xian was holding a peeled egg in her hand, but she did not eat it.
"Why don't you eat?"
Chen Nunuo asked.
"Oh, this is for you."
Yu Xian replied casually.
She didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with this, or in her thinking or upbringing, she might have thought it was normal to peel eggs for a boy in such a relationship with Chen.
Chen Zhu was stunned for a moment, then immediately pushed further: "Then you feed me."
"Don't you have any hands of your own?"
Yu Xian didn't agree at first, because Chen Zhu had hands and feet and was not a disabled person.
Chen Zhu raised his right hand to indicate that he was holding soy milk, and raised his left hand to indicate that he was holding corn. Then he put his mouth in front of Yu Xian and said, "Ah..."
"I really can't stand you!"
Yu Xian had no choice but to put the peeled eggs into Chen Zu's mouth.
However, when his lips and fingertips accidentally touched, Chen Zhu clearly felt that Yu Xian's fingers suddenly shrank back.
Then she suddenly didn't want to talk anymore, turned her head and looked at the increasingly bright street scene, while silently finishing the remaining breakfast.
······
The cemetery is on Daguan Road. If you get up early, there won't be any traffic jams and you can get there quickly.
However, taxis could no longer move at the door, and private cars were parked on the roadside of the cemetery, each with a package or flowers in their hands.
Yu Xian returned to normal at this time. She led Chen Zhu around the cemetery, and finally came to a staircase. She took the big bag and said: "My mother is down there, you wait here.
Just wait."
"Um."
Chen Zhu nodded.
We are still "friends" now, so it is definitely not appropriate to go to pay homage together. It is estimated that Yu Xian still has some inner thoughts with Yao's mother, and he will be a little embarrassed by being there.
Chen Zhu was standing there, occasionally seeing some well-dressed and successful middle-aged men and women kneeling on the ground to vent their grievances.
Maybe in front of his parents, even if they are dead, he still feels like a child.
About twenty minutes later, Yu Xian came up.
There was a smoky smell on his body, and his eyes were red. Chen Zhu knew that it was not appropriate to say anything at this time, and it was just right to stay with him anyway.
Everything is left unsaid.
It wasn't until he walked out of the cemetery and was bathed in the rising sun, which brought a little warmth to his body, that Yu Xian let out a long breath.
Chen Zhu knew that he could speak at this time.
"It's almost 7 o'clock."
Chen Zhu raised his watch and said, "Are you going back to school now, or should you go home and take a shower first."
Yu Xian picked up the school uniform and smelled it, wrinkled his round nose: "I'd better go home, otherwise I won't be able to stay in Xun's classroom anymore."
"Then I'll go back and study in the morning."
Chen Zhu said that he estimated that Yu Xian should go home.
"oh……"
There was a hint of reluctance on Yu Xian's face, but he remembered that he would not miss her when he returned to school, so he nodded: "Okay."
Chen Zhu took a few steps forward, suddenly felt something in his heart, and turned around again.
Yu Xian was still standing there looking at him, the ends of his red eyes were like bright April peach blossoms, so beautiful that they couldn't be more beautiful.
Chen Zhu smiled gently, what should I say:
Meeting people,
Just a small ripple,
Spread out slowly.
