Chapter 21 second quarter

I had the longest winter vacation ever.It snowed frequently that winter, and I often stood alone in the snow in a daze, thinking that Li Yi was actually very close to me, and I could even feel his breath, but I couldn't walk hand in hand with him through the snowy streets.I once proposed to visit his house, but he refused, saying that the county where we live is too small to keep secrets, and it is not yet time to announce our relationship.Despite the disappointment, I have to admit that he is thoughtful, and I don't need to think about it, how my father will react once he finds out about my relationship with Li Yi.On the train, we were very close, but when we walked out of the station, we were strangers.It was also snowing that day, and I sat in my father's car and looked out. He was walking lonely among the people getting off the car, lonely and arrogant.

During the Spring Festival, family members come and go, and the house is full of friends.In the past, I only said hello to them, and then hid in my room, because most of them wanted to give me red envelopes, and I thought it was too troublesome to push back and forth.That year, I was keen to hang out with them, and when I handed over the red envelopes, I just smiled and said "thank you" and everyone came.Those people are all successful people in the political and business circles in our county. They spend a lot of money, and there are at least five portraits of great men in a red envelope.I was suddenly filled with a greedy feeling for money, and subconsciously felt that I needed a lot of money.After the Spring Festival, I weighed nearly 10,000 yuan in banknotes, and felt that it was not enough, so I went to my grandparents' house to search again.In this way, when I went back to school, plus a part of the money I raised from my original savings, I brought a total of 20,000 yuan. Of course, this did not count the 10,000 yuan my father gave me for living expenses.

Throughout the holiday, I found that my mother's face was cloudy and uncertain, but because I missed Li Yi with all my heart, I didn't delve into the reason.The night before I went back to school, my mother came to my room and suddenly told me: "You have a younger brother." I was surprised, jumped up and shouted: "What? Why didn't I see it." "Silly girl, don't yell." Mom whispered: "Both of us are kept in the dark, your father hired a mistress outside." "Mom, what are you going to do?" "What else can I do? I can only take one step at a time." Mom was in a depressed mood, looking helpless.

"Anyway, Mom and I. I'm always on Mom's side." That's all I could say. When I left home at noon, I waved to my mother through the glass, and suddenly I saw the tears in my mother's eyes.My mother is old, no matter how much money she invests in the beauty salon, she can't stop the pace of time.From my mother, I saw the ruthlessness of the years. The years took away my mother's youth and beauty, and also took away her in the Mood for Love. In the gamble with the years, she must be a loser. Apart from my father and me, she can say It was nothing, and now she was about to lose even her husband.

Dad was talking and laughing in the car. I tried to speak a few times, but I didn’t know how to speak. I was like a little ant. When I saw a big mountain, I didn’t even have the courage to try to shake it. In the waiting room, we saw Li Yi, and we exchanged understanding glances with each other. As agreed, we boarded from the same compartment.I booked two sleeper tickets. When I booked the tickets, I lied to my father that a girl from the same school asked me to book them for her.Of course, I also kept it from Li Yi, for fear that his self-esteem would be overwhelmed.After getting on the bus, I complained to him, saying that the classmate didn't keep his promise and booked the ticket for her, but she left yesterday, and I didn't know to say hello in advance.You must know that the sleeper ticket must be booked at the departure station, and the refund must also be refunded there. It is too troublesome to go back and forth, so I did not refund it, which was wasted.Then I said as if I suddenly realized: "Ha, it's cheaper for you, waste recycling, you don't have to sit on the hard seat."

He obviously suspected that I had arranged it on purpose, but there were legitimate reasons, and he said nothing, and went with me to the sleeping car.Li Yi and I shared bunk beds.The upper berth opposite is a middle-aged fat man, who seems to have never slept in several lifetimes. Except for going to the toilet and eating, his very textured snoring echoes in the carriage; the lower berth opposite is a woman in her thirties , desperately wearing an exquisite black professional suit, as if she was afraid that others would not know that she was a successful professional woman.She has a thin face, but her eyes are like a little girl's, watery and good at electric discharge.Li Yiyi and I came in, and her eyes were like flashing lights, flashing non-stop.

Not long after we sat down, she took a deck of cards out of her purse and asked if we wanted to play.I don't want to mix with her, but Li Yi is very interested.After some discussion, we chose Doudizhu, which we can both play, and we agreed who would lose and put a sticker on whose face.It was a bad start, Li Yi and I had bad cards in the first hand. After a lot of fighting, we failed to fight against the landlady in the end. Li Yi readily stuck a note on his forehead. I won’t post it. I was punished and stuck on his face.The woman said how could this work, she was willing to bet and admit defeat.Li Yi actually agreed with her and said yes, and then he did it himself, and put one on my forehead.The woman smiled innocently.Then she took out a few oranges and asked me if I would eat them. When I said no, she began to peel the oranges. I thought she wanted to eat them herself, but after peeling them, I pushed them to Li Yi. Chew it up, as if you've never eaten an orange.

After playing a few times, I yawned a lot.The woman kept her eyes on Li Yi's side, chatting up Li Yi without saying anything, it was really lightning flashing and thundering at the same time, as if I didn't exist.After losing another hand, I pushed the poker, tore off the white note on my face, leaned on the bunk and said, "I'm sleepy, I won't come." The woman didn't seem reconciled, so she said that there is a game that two people can play, but Li Yi said no, she said she could teach it, and it was easy to learn.Li Yi said that he also wanted to sleep for a while.The woman also lay down and closed the curtain, but left a gap, I think she kept it for Li Yi to use.

Li Yi got on the upper bunk, and I followed.Li said in a low voice, "It's broad daylight, let people see it." "I'm not afraid." I deliberately did not lower my voice. "The place is too small to let us go." Li Yi said again. "I'm not afraid of crowding." As I said that, I closed the curtain tightly and threw myself into Li Yi's arms.I just want to remind that woman that Li Yi is mine, so she don't want to play wrong ideas. That day, I took the initiative to kiss Li Yi, his neck, his stubble, and his forehead.Lee began to respond to me, our lips met in confusion, entangled.Li Yi suddenly turned my head away, and said in my ear: "If it wasn't on the train, I would have really wanted you."

The hot air from his mouth rushed into my ears, tickling and warm, making my heart flutter, I just smirked and didn't speak. Li Yi said: "Really. I learned some experience from chatting with my classmates during the winter vacation." I said, "You guys are little hooligans!" I buried my head in his chest, listening to the sound of his heartbeat, calm and powerful.I think his heart is beating for me right now. In this way, amidst the rhythmic click of the train and the breathing sound of the fat man on the opposite side as if he was about to suffocate, we hugged each other, happy, sweet and satisfied.

It was time for dinner, so I dragged Li Yi to the dining car for dinner.Li Yi insisted on bringing the tea eggs cooked by his mother, it would be a pity not to eat them.When we got to the dining car, Li dragged me away as soon as he saw the price of the food, saying it was too uneconomical.At my insistence, he barely sat down.I ordered a fish-flavored shredded pork, a palace pot chicken, and four bottles of beer. I found that Li Yi didn't drink much, and it should be about the same as Wang Jun's. He blushed before finishing a bottle of beer.He said: "If I drink any more, I will be drunk. Now I don't need to make up my face to play Guan Gong." I said, "It seems that there are still a few beards missing." Maybe it was influenced by my father, I think men should drink, so I tried my best to persuade him to drink.He also told him that among the people who can't be underestimated at the drinking table, it seems that there are people who drink face-to-face. As long as he is willing to develop, he will definitely be able to develop a good capacity for drinking. Back in our bunk, he fell headfirst on the lower bunk and fell asleep.Only then did I regret that I shouldn't have persuaded him to drink so much. When my mother called, she complained that her brain was not working well, and she had prepared pocket money for me, but she forgot to give it to me when I left. I said that the money is enough, and if it is not enough, I will ask my mother for it. Mom now regrets telling me that. "It's pitiful enough to go out alone, and you have to be distracted to care about me." Mom said, "There is no Huoyan Mountain that I can't get through. Mom can survive it. Just take care of yourself and take care of yourself." Putting down the phone, I felt ashamed. During the time I got on the train, I never thought of my mother in my heart. I was only intoxicated in my happiness and completely ignored my mother.I leaned in Li Yi's arms, worried about my mother, I knew that if something really happened, she would never be able to stand it.Then I was worried about myself, so I wanted to ask Li Yi if he would abandon me someday in the future.But he was in such a deep sleep that I couldn't wake him up. The next afternoon, when the train arrived at the station, the woman across from us got off the train with us.On the platform, she brazenly handed Li Yi a business card and said, "We're all in the same city, if you need my sister's help, just tell me." Li Yi took the business card with both hands, and said, "It must be, I must trouble the elder sister. Thank you, elder sister." After exiting the station, the woman waved to us, put her eyes on for the last time, and got into a BMW sedan. I snatched the business card from Li Yi's hand and took a look. The title was not small, it was the deputy general manager of a group company, and his name was Dai Xian.I threw away the business card casually and said, "Disgusting, it's really embarrassing for our old Dai family!" Li Yi picked up the business card from the ground, put it in his pocket, and said, "It's a pity to lose it, maybe it will be needed someday." For this reason, I rolled my eyes countless times, but the protest was ineffective.
