Still, Wait For Me

In July, the sky suddenly rained heavily.

If you park the car somewhere, sit alone in the car, listen to a heavy rain knock on the window, watch the crowd run away, and then the rain covers your gaze, and the temperature drops. People are easily helpless and feel abandoned by the whole world.

When Xu Tinsheng got out of the car and bought a cigarette, he jumped.

“What are you doing down here? It's raining so hard, I'm drowning you. ”

Because the rain was too loud, Xu Tiansheng almost yelled to say so. But Knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock ”

So one man and one dog walked across the bridge in a pouring rain.

Xu Tinsheng bought herself a pack of cigarettes and a pack of ham sausage for Knock Knock Knock Knock Knock.

It was so hard to light a cigarette in the rain, Xu Tiansheng went back to the car, lit the cigarette, and then peeled a ham bowl. The rain slammed the roof of the car, the window, a man with a cigarette, a dog with ham sausage,...

Xu Tinsheng showed a dog a photograph with a little stitching in it. He recognized that, whoops, it was pathetic. People too.

……

Xu Tinsheng had adjusted his state before returning to the people's house on the river bank, and now he has no right to let go of the pain and decay.

He's also ready for a lie.

After a lifetime of rebirth, Xu Tiansheng was destined to be accompanied by endless lies, the liar could never stop lying. Life in lies is easy to be lonely because it takes too much to carry alone.

Fang Orange, Lu Zhixin, and Yu Qingqing, whom he had called to accompany Apple, sat in the living room on the second floor of the Riverside residence.

They saw many gardeners soaking wet, and followed him into the golden wool with strange eyes.

“Where's apple? ”

Despite their surprise, Mr. Xu asked first.

Yu Qing pointed to the hidden door.

Xu Tiansheng pushed the door.

apple sat on the bed with her hands hugging her knees, heard the noise, looked up at Xu Tiansheng and whispered slowly: “Xu Tiansheng, are you back? You're going to find Xiang Jie, right? Did Xiang Jie find you? ”

“No.” Xu Tiansheng lied.

“You lied to me. You were nervous, you know? I've never seen you so nervous... and you haven't left me in such a hurry in a long time. So, it can only be a condenser, right? ”

No questioning breath, apple said slowly.

Many of the courtyards who lied could only go on lying, and he said, "No, really, don't think about it. ”

Then he pulled over the golden wool knock and said:

“I helped a friend find his precious golden fur, and then it rained. It was almost caught and killed by the city's authorities as a stray dog, and it didn't take long to save it.

Because the time is tight on the city side, there's a special dog team or something, so friends want to put the dog in our house for a while. I thought it would help you relieve boredom and run with us, so I brought it back. Look, okay? ”

apple looked at the many gardeners who were soaking wet, looked at the same wet knock, thought about it, awkwardly stood up, rubbed his wet hair with his hands up and said: “Sorry, I...”

“It's okay." A lot of the people who lied couldn't afford it. I'm sorry, he said, "Have you eaten? ”

apple shook her head and the three girls in the living room shouted no.

“It's almost 7: 00, so I'll cook for you.” Xu Tiansheng said.

“Take a shower and change your clothes," apple said.

“Okay, I'll be quick. ”

Xu Tiansheng took a quick bath and changed clothes to cook. Four girls waited happily for him to take a shower, blow dry, and take out various snacks to feed him. The square orange pushed open the kitchen door and said, "Where does the dog sleep? ”

Xu Tinsheng said: "Sleep on the sofa. My feet will save someone from taking off my pants in the middle of the night. ”

After eating and washing dishes, Xu Tiansheng sat with him on the couch for a while. Fang Yuqing came to bring tea for Zhong Wusheng and drove away Yu Qingqing. Xu Tinsheng called Zhong Wusheng and was going to ask them out for dinner the next day.

Zhong Wusheng said they had left Iwatsu after dinner and would be returning to Libei soon.

Then Xu Tiansheng began to feel a little dizzy.

“You guys play in the living room for a while, I'm a little tired today, go to bed first. Wake me up when you get back to bed.” Speaking of which, many of the courtyards who had even taken the couch had entered their own rooms, now apple's room, with one head stuck on the bed.

When he woke up confused, he could already see the sun on his pillow.

apple sits by the bed and looks at him.

“I... what time is it? ”

Xu Tiansheng knew that he had overslept and was struggling to climb up.

apple stood up and pressed him back and said, "Lie down, you have a high fever. Now, 2: 00 p.m. Drink some water and take your medicine. ”

apple helped him fold up the pillow, held him back, then went to bring warm water, fed him with a few capsules in his hand, and held the cup to his mouth.

The sun struck her in the face and her face was incredibly serious.

Xu Tiansheng looked up and said, "Apple? ”

“What's the matter? It's hard, isn't it? ”

“No, I feel warm. ”

apple was happier and said with a smile: "Is it so easy to warm up? ”

“Yeah, that's what happens when people meet something very simple, see a serious face, someone cares about you, see you that important... it's easy to warm up. ”

Xu Tiansheng is “thirty-one years old", perhaps he should say that he is “thirty-two years old". He had a life of desolation and loss, no peace, and a life of “loneliness”.

Yes, loneliness, solitude all the time, even when it's good to be with Xiaoxiao, but this solitude is inevitable because what he holds is his own story, including his feelings.

He wanted to get those stories back, and everything that happened yesterday proved that he was moving further and further away.

Xu Tinsheng said, "People arrive at a certain time”, in fact, refers to a man's experience of rolling red dust. After the tide and fall, he finally put away his unwilling and unbridled heart and yearned for a simple and stable time.

Xu Tiansheng had a juvenile appearance and the minds of the two generations were flustered, so he was destined to be a contradiction.

apple looked at him with a brilliant smile and said, "It's burning. ”

“No," Xu Tiansheng said, "you've been guarding since last night?... Quick, get some sleep. ”

apple shakes its head.

“Go shut the door.” Xu Tiansheng said.

close the apple.

“Lie down.” Xu Tiansheng moved her body to the side of the bed and said.

“Ah?”

Unexpectedly, the rogue apple looks extremely nervous at this time.

“You have a fever.” She said nervously.

Xu Tinsheng froze and said, “What are you thinking? A little girl can't be pure in her head? ”

“Well...”

“Just lie down, you get some sleep, and then I'll lie down against you. ”

apple hesitated for a moment and finally lay down carefully.

Xu Tiansheng noticed that she was still nervous, curious: “You're wrong, you used to be so... Why are you so nervous now? ”

apple says:

“It's not the same. I didn't dare tease you like that because I knew you wouldn't. Have you seen me tease other boys like that? Because they do, I need to give them a cold face.

And I know, the more I do that, the more scared you are, right? Besides, I didn't have a purpose at the time, although it was silly to think of it now, but I really wanted to take a better college, because I wanted to change my life with my mom, and I couldn't catch anything else. ”

“So that's it. And now? ”

“Now that we're together, we're afraid. I haven't held hands yet. ”

……

Xu's high fever persisted and only became low two days later.

He slept back on the couch, but lived like an emperor. Most of the time it was apple who took care of him. Occasionally she was tired. Lu Xin would show her rare tenderness, which for many gardeners she was accustomed to, was simply turning herself over and singing.

“Sorry, always treat you like Superman. You did that the day before yesterday. We still don't realize anything. We're still used to waiting for you to cook and wash dishes. We're all spoiled by you.” Lu Qixin said.

Another benefit of the disease is that although Apple is tired of caring for Xu Tiansheng, his mental and mental state is much better.

Because she finds herself happy to do it and can feel “useful” and “valuable” from it, her state of life becomes more positive than ever.

She knew to rest at the right time and she knew to eat more because she had to take care of Xu Tiansheng.

She began to learn to cook harder, although most of the time she was miserable. So one day, when she opened the door around the apron, two strangers appeared outside the door, and they said, "Are you? Does Xu Tinsheng live here? ”

Xu Tiansheng sat up busily: "Dad, Mom, you're here. ”
