Chapter 2: Reunion in the most beautiful time 04
However, happy times are always short-lived.
The night breeze was always a little chilly. After taking a shower, I returned to my room early, took out my lucky charm, the "four-string guitar", from the drawer, and played with it gently.
"Do re mi fa..."
“fa mi re do...”
I plucked these four notes repeatedly, and on this night filled with honey, the melody sounded surprisingly good! Is the "four-string guitar" finally starting to make a comeback? Is my lucky life slowly beginning to unfold?
Recalling the cheerful conversation we had on the way home with Ju Chenxi, a little joy began to grow in my heart. I gently put the guitar back into its special box for good luck items, ran to the bed, and rolled around on it with joy, almost collapsing my little bed.
“Bang… ”
Just as I calmed down and prepared to go on a sweet date with Zhou Gong, there was a sudden piercing sound of dishes and chopsticks being broken outside the door.
"Let's get a divorce." My father's tired voice came from outside the door like a ghost. I jumped out of the bed and rushed out, exposed to the scene in front of me. My mother was furious and holding a piece of remaining debris in her hand, staring at my father with torch-like eyes.
Dad was standing in front of a pile of smashed pots and pans, his face expressionless.
"Let's leave. Xiaole will be mine."
I am very familiar with this scene: quarrels, tearing, throwing things, and talking about divorce. From childhood to adulthood, I have heard it so many times that my ears are callused.
Despite this, as a young kid, I still couldn't quite accept the fact that my parents were getting divorced.
I rushed over and hugged my mother, yelling, "Why do we have to get a divorce? Can't we talk it out calmly? I don't want to be without my dad. I want a complete family."
I sobbed loudly.
"Xiao Le, you've grown up, and Mom won't hide it from you anymore ." Mom paused, and almost cried as she finished the next sentence, "Your dad has had another woman outside a long time ago. After so many years of fighting, Mom has given up. From now on, we, mother and daughter, will just live a good life on our own."
"You, ah... Xiaole is so young, why are you telling her these things?" Dad interrupted Mom weakly. Perhaps he also felt that this family had already fallen apart a long time ago, so his expression seemed very calm.
I suddenly realized in those few seconds that the "she" they mentioned every time they quarreled, "what does she want? ", should be the other woman my mother mentioned.
I was immediately furious and screamed at my dad like crazy: "Dad, if you abandon me and mom, you will regret it for the rest of your life! You will never be happy for the rest of your life!"
I almost cried and yelled at my dad.
He touched my head with his familiar hands and said calmly, "Xiao Le, there are some things you will slowly understand in the future. Dad and Mom's relationship broke down a long time ago, and it's impossible for them to be together again. Dad is sorry for you. In the future, if you have any problems, you are always welcome to come to Dad."
I turned my head to the side and stopped looking at him.
In the end, my father signed the divorce agreement and left this home resolutely amid my mother and I crying.
That night, it rained heavily and the thunder was particularly loud. I tossed and turned, lying on the windowsill, and saw lightning streaking through the dark sky. It was so scary . So I turned on all the lights in the room. When the warm yellow lights came on, the fear in my heart gradually dissipated.
I took out my diary from the drawer and wanted to record everything that happened today. The warmth that Ju Chenxi brought me, the pain that my parents' divorce brought me, all passed through my mind clearly.
After thinking for a long time, I finally picked up the pen. But as soon as I started writing, I couldn't stop crying. As I was writing, I suddenly remembered the little boy who swung on the swing with me in the community garden when I was a child.
Whenever I saw my parents quarreling, I would run to the community garden and play with the little boy. At that time, my worries and sorrows would be swept away.
And now, where is the person who could accompany me through the saddest and most heartbreaking times?
At this moment, I miss that little boy very much, the little boy who gave me the lucky guitar, the little boy with the innocent smile, the little boy who accompanied me when I was lonely.
His childish eyes and eyebrows back then are particularly clear in my mind at this moment.
But suddenly, the picture in my mind changed, and Ju Chenxi's whole person invaded my mind. His cold smile when he was arrogant, his cunning smile when he was causing trouble for me, his warm smile when he made me happy, how come it slowly overlapped with the young boy in my memory?
This is such a coincidence!
