Summer is Collapsing - Chapter 13: Elopement in Red High Heels (Part 1) Finally, half of the long summer is over, with frequent downpours, dark clouds slowly shifting from one urban area to another, the sky turns a dull yellow color, the rain is pouring down, and there are loud thunders, but everything is In a flash, the rain suddenly fell and then stopped, leaving the leaves of the sycamore tree still dripping, falling into the neckline of the pretty skirt, sliding down the skin, the sandals were wet, and the calf was stained with water. It is full of mud stars, but the smell of Suzhou Creek is so close. The whole Shanghai seems to be soaked in the river, with ups and downs, and Xiaoqiao's birthday is getting closer and closer amidst such ups and downs.

David came to see her almost every day, or called her, and she often followed David to the U2 bar, sometimes to watch his performances, and sometimes to hang out with his friends. Some of Dawei's friends thought Xiaoqiao was his new girlfriend, and looked at her with ambiguous and suggestive eyes. Xiaoqiao didn't like them, and she didn't like this night of hanging out. She insisted on not drinking more than A glass of wine can't hold on to the dance floor.Sometimes she looks at the crowd and thinks of Ke Ke, she is not worth it for Ke Ke, such a man, she hates him so much, hates the smell on his body, hates the artificial and inferior tone when he sings, and the people around him. There are many girlfriends, but she just wants to be with him. She tries hard to force herself to be with him. She wants Coco to know the pain of being robbed. Feeling distressed, Xiaoqiao became more and more absent-minded, she kissed David absent-mindedly, and talked about this love affair absent-mindedly.

That pair of red high-heeled shoes is what Coco immediately fell in love with at a glance. Nine West, thin high-heeled shoes, and a small bowknot on the red upper. It was just the beginning of this long time summer. , Coco and Xiaoqiao found the style in the magazine, both of them are very fond of it.Ke Ke wanted to buy it as a birthday present for Xiaoqiao, but looking at the sign, the price of more than 700 yuan was really too expensive, so she just took a look at it every time and walked away. When Ke Ke walked over again that day, she found that the place where the pair of red high-heeled shoes had been placed had been replaced by a pair of silver-white lace-up shoes. What about the red pair?"

"It has been sold." The lady glanced at Coco and said.Ke Ke insisted on asking the lady to rummage in the warehouse, and finally found the last pair. Ke Ke took off the sloppy colored stripe running shoes on her feet and put them on. They turned out to be the right size. She stood in front of the mirror and saw The girl in the mirror has fluffy black hair, a small face tanned by the summer sun, two straight legs under a mini denim skirt, black grid stockings, and red bow high-heeled shoes, lining her Her ankles were extraordinarily slender, and she blushed. All the women around her cast jealous glances at her with such an overly youthful look, and Ke Ke herself had never seen herself so coquettish before. And an evil thought in her heart also controlled her brain in an instant, she must be possessed by a demon.

While the lady at the counter was greeting other customers, she pretended to be calm and abandoned her running shoes, stepped on these red high heels, and left. The closer she got to the gate, the harder her heart beat, and she walked faster and faster , began to run, and in the reflection of the glass of the gate, she saw herself, like a fairy who had eloped from the mountain, she was radiant in a trance, suddenly she thought that the girl David liked was so enchanting, And now he couldn't see it. The moment she rushed out of the glass door, her feet were twisted heavily by the high heels, and she fell heavily on the smooth floor at the door. Tired of this summer's wind, the warmth makes all dreams disappear in an instant.Her knee hit the floor heavily, and the security guard who rushed out from behind also grabbed Coco's arm tightly: "Miss, have you paid for the shoes on your feet?"

And Keke screamed: "My knee is hurt." She sat on the ground and stroked her knee in regret. There, the old black and blue lump had not faded away, and it was red and swollen again. When Dawei met V, she suffered from an old injury from a fall, and she lost all her strength. She sat on the steps in front of the shopping mall steaming with summer heat, surrounded by dark onlookers. They gathered together and squeezed together. There was a lot of fuss, and Ke Ke was sitting like a broken doll, and her stockings were also torn open by the tab of the high heels.The lady at the counter came up from behind and said coldly, "Send it to the police station." Keke still didn't stop screaming and crying loudly, but she suddenly realized that she was alone now, sitting alone among the crowd , Laughed by them, whispered by them.

At this time, a person suddenly squeezed out from the crowd, grabbed Ke Ke who was on the ground, screamed so hard that Ke Ke almost moaned, and said loudly: "How much, I will pay for her. " Shen Han, Shen Han is still carrying the courier's bag, and the bicycle is lying on the side, and it is too late to help him up. He took out all the money in his pocket, stuffed a few hundred bills and a few change bills into the hands of the lady at the counter, who counted them coldly, and returned the extra change Shen Han, at this time, the crowd watching the fun also dispersed boredly. Ke Ke only felt pain in his arm being pulled by Shen Han, but he didn't dare to cry out.Then Shen Han pulled her, quickly left the shopping mall, pulled her to a secluded place, and then yelled at Ke Ke: "I just paid my salary today, what's the matter with you, what a disgrace, crying in front of so many people " Ke Ke lowered her head, not daring to look at him, there were still tears on her face that hadn't been wiped clean.Shen Han turned to leave, but she suddenly grabbed his arm and said, "Take me."

"I still have to work, don't make trouble, I've met you today enough to memorize." "Take me, please." Ke Ke continued to tug on his sleeve. So Shen Han had no choice but to push up the bicycle, take Ke Ke on the back seat, and continue the delivery work for a day along the small road without police, Ke Ke put his arms around Shen Han's waist.This was the third time she got so close to Shen Han. For the first time four years ago, on the bus for the spring outing, more than 70 people were crowded in a giant dragon car. Ke Ke stood behind Shen Han, and she quietly leaned on Shen Han's back, while carefully experiencing Shen Han's body temperature separated by a layer of shirt, while chatting with Xiaoqiao next to her, that was the happiest day for her.The second time was at the beginning of Xia three years ago, when she was on the side of the horizontal bar on the school playground, she put her arms around Shen Han's neck, but Shen Han stroked her hair and said, "The person I like is Xiaoqiao...I like her It’s been a long time, and I dare not say it.” Ke Ke’s body turned into a small empty shell, but behind Shen Han’s face she put on a bleak smile that he couldn’t see, and then she went back to the classroom alone, She lay on the desk and cried for a long time, Xiaoqiao waited for her ignorantly, they didn't speak until it was getting late, did they never tell Xiaoqiao Shen Han's words, Xiaoqiao Her face was like a fresh apple, and she was also afraid to actually see the two of them walking together, so devastating.Then Shen Han suddenly disappeared, she thought it was the last time she was so close to Shen Han.

But now, Ke Ke put her arms around Shen Han's waist, and the surrounding streets were receding rapidly. She seemed to be unable to hear anything, and she seemed to be unable to see anything, except for Shen Han's back. In the evening, Shen Han delivered the last courier, and took Ke Ke to a small restaurant to eat beef ramen.Ke Ke put a big spoonful of chili into the curry, she asked Shen Han about his mother Shen Yi.It turned out that Shen Yi committed suicide. Shen Han himself didn't know the reason, but only knew that it might have something to do with a man, and this man was Cheng Jianguo who committed suicide in the subway. Shen Han carried an illegitimate child on his back since he was a child. Notoriety, the fear of childhood is always tormenting him, so how much he wants to know the truth of the matter, and also wants to know who his father is.

"I only found a photo of her and a man in my mother's belongings. It was a long time ago. The two of them were very close and intimate. I have never seen my mother getting close to other men. They even talked very intimately." Rarely, it is Cheng Jianguo, now that he is dead, I probably really can't find my father." Shen Han didn't eat much, and the curry beef noodles in front of him started to rise, under the pressure of a creaking electric fan It lay quietly below. "No, don't talk so hard, you never asked me why Xiaoqiao and I found you again." Coco suddenly remembered the black book she carried in her bag, and she didn't know why. It was only at this time that I wanted to take out the notebook. At this time, the notebook had already recorded a lot of words written by herself, long paragraphs, sad events and feelings, and it was difficult to connect with her hard appearance.But Ke Ke still took out the notebook, handed it to Shen Han, and said: "This is Cheng Jianguo's notebook, but it is a few years ago." After she finished speaking, she lowered her head and ate the noodles in the bowl, one by one Genji sucked, while Shen Han couldn't wait to start flipping through the content inside, smoking hard, and stopped talking.On the greasy wooden table, there are migrant workers all around, and there is a strong smell of Erguotou in the small restaurant.

Seeing that the night was very dark, Shen Han stood up and went to the bathroom, saying, "I'll go home after I go to the bathroom." Taking advantage of the time when he went to the bathroom, Ke Ke turned to the blank pages at the back and quickly read After reading the paragraphs she had written on it, she thought of tearing it up, but she just gave up. Shen Han wanted to take Ke Ke home, but she refused. She said it was inconvenient to go back so late, and said to Shen Han: "Take me to your house, we haven't chatted for a long time." Shen Han looked at his watch , thought for a moment, and said, "Okay." Grandma had already gone to sleep in the pavilion, and only left a large bowl of watermelon for Shen Han on the table, and the two of them sat on the edge of the wooden table and ate it up, then sat on the bed to chat.Shen Han's bed sheets and thin blanket exuded a strong smell of smoke, and the smell of damp sweat, and the straw mats were sluggish because they hadn't been scrubbed for a few days. Shen Han still held the book in his hand. He read every page of the black notebook very carefully, not letting go of the tiniest words in any date grid, as if no one was there, and completely forgot the existence of Coco.And Ke Ke curled up on the mat, smoking a cigarette, and soon fell into a drowsy sleep. When she woke up again, it was almost morning, the sky was slightly red, she opened her eyes and saw Shen Han's sleeping face, so close, she could smell his breath, his little finger and her face. The little fingers of their little hands were gently leaned together, because Ke Ke slept with her body arched, so Shen Han could only straighten her body, leaving a gap between them that was neither wide nor narrow, and the two of them slept like this for the whole time. night.Ke Ke sat up, gently crossed Shen Han's body, sat on the edge of the bed and looked at him, she could see the fine and soft hairs on his face, and the many scars on his naked back, long and short, she couldn't help touching them with her hands, Coco was grateful, she never thought that one day she would be so close to Shen Han, right by his side. Shen Han turned around and woke up in a daze. "Do you have a girlfriend now?" Coco asked him suddenly, and he shook his head in confusion, "So do you still like Xiaoqiao?" It was so difficult for Coco to ask this question, she felt her throat was choked up.But this time Shen Han didn't shake his head anymore, he turned his body around, and continued to breathe evenly, he turned around and fell asleep. Ke Ke stood up, took a soft napkin and wiped off the dust on the red high heels, she put them on for the last time, walked around the room, and saw a radiant girl in the slightly deformed mirror, Suddenly, among the countless blurry photos of celebrities and beauties pasted on the mirror, she saw a photo of herself and Xiaoqiao. It was taken for them on the bus during the spring outing that year. Xiaoqiao's face was bright It was like a ball of spring, while Ke Ke was looking away absent-mindedly, with half of the back of Shen Han's head behind him, Ke Ke suddenly remembered that day, the temperature behind his back, she was like this, in the middle of the crowd, slowly leaning in through the shirt. with him.Ke Ke bent down, loosened the ankle straps, stepped barefoot on the cold cement floor, put the red high-heeled shoes on the chair, wrote another note, and then quietly pulled the rusted iron door leave: "Shen Han, it will be Xiaoqiao's birthday after you wake up. You can give these shoes to her. As a birthday present for her, she will definitely like it very much. Her address is Room 502, Building 12, Four Seasons New Village .your cocoa."
