Chapter 8 Chapter 7 Thanks to the Internet

Xu Youyou didn't expect that she found Gao Xuan on the Internet. When Xu Youyou was in the second year of high school, a boy was transferred from their school. He was too thin and too tall. The teacher had to look up when talking to him.When doing exercises, he always stands out from the crowd, everyone can see his head, he has natural yellow curly hair, which is always tousled.Everyone in the school knew that this boy was called Gao Xuan. Xu Youyou only knew his name. That day, when Xu Youyou came home from school, she met that very thin woman at the entrance of the supermarket. She believed that she was the doctor who delivered her baby. After turning around and running away, she was hit by a motorcycle. Gao Xuan happened to be walking in front of her. Later, he quickly ran over, carried Xu Youyou on his back, and sent her to the hospital with the very thin woman.

At that time, Gao Xuan was 1.82 meters tall. Xu Youyou clearly remembered that she was lying on his back, staggering, feeling very unsafe and afraid of falling. After recovering from his injury, his mother sent Xu Youyou to school, and thanked the tall boy by the way. However, Gao Xuan had already transferred to another school. He only studied in Xu Youyou's school for two months, and he never appeared again.Xu Youyou didn't even say a word to him. After entering university, Xu Youyou became more and more lonely. She felt that none of the boys around her caught her eye. One day, she happened to see the post bar of her alma mater middle school on the Internet. Many people were looking for old classmates in it. ? ’ she wrote:

Do you remember the little girl in the second year of high school?Carrying a big schoolbag, with a small mind.At that time, the sky was blue and the grass was green.The devil took my immature little hand and rushed towards the valley of death, but you took me down and handed me over to the angel in white.In the vast sea of ​​people, there is no news of you. If you happen to read these words, I hope to get in touch with me as soon as possible... Finally, Xu Youyou left a QQ number. She believed that if Gao Xuan saw this post, he would definitely think of her. From then on, Xu Youyou often logged into QQ and waited for Gao Xuan's response. A few days later, there was no movement.Just when Xu Youyou was giving up hope, Gao Xuan appeared!That was half a year ago.

After the two got in touch, they changed from old classmates to netizens.Gao Xuan is 23 years old, studying at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, majoring in brain and cognitive science. Since then, Xu Youyou often suffered from insomnia, and most of the time at night was spent chatting with Gao Xuan.She is lonely at heart and desperately needs friends.She is in the night, Gao Xuan is in the daytime, she can smell the sunshine from his body. Once, Xu Youyou said to Gao Xuan on the Internet: Are your parents still in the Acropolis?You are alone in the United States, thousands of miles away, in the dead of night, in the autumn rainy days, will you miss them terribly?

Gao Xuan suddenly stopped talking.After a long time, he said: I don't like my father. Xu Youyou immediately thought of something. In middle school, everyone thought that Gao Xuan's surname was Gao, but Gao Xuan told Xu Youyou that it was not.Xu Youyou asked him what his last name was, but he didn't say it. Although Xu Youyou couldn't understand the conflict between their father and son, she was sensitive and began to avoid topics about his family from then on. In fact, Xu Youyou has always hidden half of her heart from Gao Xuan—she never mentioned the pair of eyes in the sky to him.Facing Gao Xuan, she felt that she had become a normal free and happy girl, and it seemed that she could no longer see the ropes that manipulated her.She covets this feeling.

Gao Xuan seemed to be lonely because he couldn't get along with his family, so he regarded Xu Youyou as a close person. Once, Gao Xuan said to her in QQ: Youyou, do you feel that you are different from others in some ways... Xu Youyou said: That's right, I have been incompatible with the secular world since I was born, but no one has ever understood, except you! Gao Xuan returned a smiling face and didn't say anything else. During the summer vacation, Gao Xuan came back to China and met Xu Youyou. The two met at Feiou Cafe near Xu Youyou's home.Xu Youyou was wearing a white T-shirt and a denim skirt.Gao Xuan hasn't changed much, he's thin and tall, with unkempt natural curly yellow hair.He is wearing a black vest.

The cafe is full of old wooden tables and chairs. Except for Xu Youyou and Gao Xuan, there are only three customers: a very young man and woman whispering in the corner, and an old lady sitting at the next table, drinking tea slowly, nibbling. Picking melon seeds, I occasionally glanced at Xu Youyou. In reality, Gao Xuan was very silent. That day, Gao Xuan watched Xu Youyou quietly, always listening to her. Xu Youyou doesn't like boys who are eloquent. Only quiet boys are like a blank sheet of paper on which she can express her thoughts that are always unclear. Of course, she doesn't like dull boys either.She could feel that Gao Xuan's silence was a shell, containing too many words, like raging waves.He must have experienced many ups and downs, but he just didn't want to reveal it.

Recalling his high school days, Xu Youyou was immersed in happiness: "That time, when I was hit by a motorcycle, I suddenly felt dizzy, and the surroundings were like TV screens with the sound turned off. I didn't expect you to fall from the sky..." Gao Xuan shook his head: "You just passed out next to that woman, no motorcycle hit you." Xu Youyou smiled and said: "Time flies, it seems like a lifetime ago, you remember wrong." Gao Xuan bent down to look at Xu Youyou's denim skirt, and said, "Look for the scar." Xu Youyou remembered that when she was injured on the outside of her thigh, her face turned red immediately, and her knees merged subconsciously: "I've healed up long ago!"

Gao Xuan said, "Are you sure?" Xu Youyou said, "Of course I'm sure." Gao Xuan stared into Xu Youyou's eyes, and it took a long time before he said: "Youyou, I have been to the United States for two years, and I have never been back. There is nothing here that I am nostalgic for. This time, I came back for you. " Xu Youyou looked at Gao Xuan infatuatedly, his eye circles were already wet: "If you don't tell me, I know it well... Thank you!" A few days later, Gao Xuan asked Xu Youyou to go to the movies.After they came out of the movie theater, they stood by the road and took a taxi.

There are few cars on the road, few people, and the sunset hangs quietly in the sky, shedding a thick layer of gold.It's rare to be so calm in a busy city. Xu Youyou hoped that there would never be a taxi, and she was willing to walk home slowly with Gao Xuan. Suddenly, someone touched her arm from behind, she cried out in fright, and leaned against Gao Xuan's body.Turning around, it turned out to be a scavenger, less than 50 years old, short, with a big head, wearing a shabby armed police uniform, unshaven, with a flattering smile on his face: "Miss, your bottle is still there." Want it?"

Xu Youyou looked at the mineral water in his hand, he was almost finished drinking it, and was about to pass it to this person, when Gao Xuan snatched the bottle and grabbed it in his hand, and shouted to this person impatiently: "Go away!" !" The trash picker took a deep look at Gao Xuan, and walked away slowly. Xu Youyou looked at the man's back with pity, and said softly: "It's not easy for them to travel around in this bustling city every day. Anyway, I'm almost finished drinking, so it's over if I give it to him!" Gao Xuan turned his head and continued to wait for the taxi, without speaking. Xu Youyou whispered next to him: "What's wrong with you? Is it because I'm too innocent... to make you angry?" Gao Xuan turned his head back and looked at Xu Youyou: "As long as I'm by your side, I won't let anyone scare you." Xu Youyou's heart was filled with honey. At this moment a taxi drove up.The two got into the car, Xu Youyou leaned lightly on Gao Xuan's shoulder, Gao Xuan's body seemed to froze. This was the first time Xu Youyou snuggled up to a boy, and she quickly forgot about the trash picker, recalling Gao Xuan's words just now, immersed in happiness. She felt that the speed of the taxi was too fast. On the beautiful river bank, Xu Youyou and Gao Xuan met for the third time.They sat on the lawn, chatting while basking in the sun.Moderate wind blowing over, very comfortable. Xu Youyou took out a black wooden frog from his bag, and said to Gao Xuan, "Here, it's for you." The frog's back was in a zigzag shape. Xu Youyou pulled out the wooden stick from the frog's mouth and slid it down from the tail to the head, and the frog screamed loudly. Gao Xuan said, "It's so cute." Xu Youyou said with a smile: "You are always reticent, let the frog encourage you." In the past, when Xu Youyou was with other boys, they felt that they couldn't understand her proud soul, and they didn't have the patience to cross her beautiful shell and enter her more beautiful heart.Only Gao Xuan, who was with Xu Youyou, was never impatient and always listening.She felt that Gao Xuan's coming, just like the appearance of that CD, was predestined.
