Chapter 54 Memories
Chapter 54 Recall
: Within a few days, Huo Yu took Xu Hexing to visit the entire city of Shanghai, visiting all the large and small attractions, showing the friendship of landlords to the fullest.
Xu Hexing had never felt that time passed so quickly.
Time flew by quickly, and as the school day was approaching, Xu Hexing and Huo Yu discussed avoiding the weekend and booked a flight to Bincheng on Thursday.
On the last night alone with Huo Yu, Xu Hexing was particularly clingy.
He would follow Huo Yu wherever he went, and he would stay with him no matter what he did. He would not let go of him. He wished he could sleep in the same bed with him, but although he had this idea, he did not say it explicitly. She just looked at him eagerly, motionless, with bright eyes, like a puppy waiting for its owner to pet it.
Huo Yu pretended not to understand what he meant and said very considerately: "I've been leaving early and coming back late in the past few days. Do you want to go to bed early today?"
Xu Hexing was a little annoyed. He saw the teasing in Huo Yu's eyes and raised his hand. It was just one punch, "Just pretend!"
After scolding and punching him again, Xu Hexing felt more comfortable. He turned around and was about to enter the guest room. Huo Yu suddenly grabbed his wrist and said flatteringly: "That's wrong, that's right." , Do you want to come to my room?"
Xu Hexing snorted, crossing his arms and looking arrogant: "What are you doing in your room? I'm going to sleep!"
"You can sleep in my room,"
Xu Hexing said. It’s even more impossible to sleep in the room! We have to hug and kiss until midnight again!
"Okay then." Xu Hexing pretended for a while before agreeing.
Huo Yu knew that he was a bit duplicitous, and it was funny to see him pretending to be reluctant but trying to push back several times even though he clearly wanted to do so.
Huo Yu opened the door and let Xu Hexing go in first.
Xu Hexing sat aside obediently, thinking about how he would kiss later, when Huo Yu pulled up the stool in front of his desk and flipped through a book, reading with gusto.
Xu Hexing was a little surprised for a moment, wondering whether this person was pretending or really reading.
He put his head to read the contents of the book.
Huo Yu put on black-rimmed glasses, lowered his head to read, and occasionally bent his index finger to push the frame.
Still...really reading a book?
Xu Hexing thought suspiciously, could he really do nothing?
Xu Hexing was furious. Huo Yu was so good at holding him back, yet he still took a bite out of him.
Xu Hexing stood up and walked around the room half a circle, and his eyes fell on the pure wood bookcase that occupied less than half of the wall.
"I also want to read a book, can I choose it myself?" Xu Hexing asked.
Huo Yu did not look back, but agreed: "You can find whatever you want."
There were many different kinds of books on the bookcase.
There are sections for psychology, suspense, science fiction, and various types of books, and there are even a few rows of classic prose collections. Xu Hexing couldn't help but stand in awe. In an era where e-books were almost dominant, it was really commendable that he still retained the habit of collecting and reading paper books.
Xu Hexing usually reads a lot of science fiction and mystery, so he subconsciously searched for the floors where these two types of books were placed.
"This seems quite interesting..." Xu Hexing muttered, raising his hand to pick up the book, and with a glance, he noticed an unnamed hardcover book placed next to him.
He was a little curious and took the book instead.
When I opened it, I realized that this was not a book, but a photo album.
The owner of the photo album must have cherished it very much. He put a protective bag on each photo and put a sticky note under the photo to indicate the year.
The homepage is a full-moon photo of a little boy. The little boy is chubby and has a red mole on his forehead. He looks like a festive New Year doll.
The content on the note is: 2004.12.27, Xiao Yu is one month old and is much fatter than when he was born.
The handwriting is neat and strong.
Only then did Xu Hexing realize that the New Year painting doll in the photo was actually Huo Yu!
He stopped turning the pages and quickly closed the photo album, making a sound.
Huo Yu asked: "What's wrong?"
Xu Hexing looked apologetic: "I'm sorry, I saw your photo album..."
Huo Yu was startled, but he didn't expect that he saw this photo album, and said warmly: "It's okay, just take a look if you want. "He also couldn't remember what was in this photo album.
The photo album belonged to his father. After the divorce, the photo album was left to his mother. Later, the photo album no longer contained new photos, only old photos from the past.
Xu Hexing felt relieved after hearing what he said. He held the photo album and sat next to Huo Yu, reading page by page carefully.
Huo Yu raised the brightness of the desk lamp a little so that Xu Hexing could see more clearly.
It seems that most of the photos in the album are of Huo Yu before he went to school. He was chubby, and his current appearance can be vaguely seen between his eyebrows and eyes.
Xu Hexing was curious: "Why is this photo album from your childhood? Is it from when you were in school?"
Huo Yu said lightly: "The photo album belongs to my dad. Before the fourth grade of elementary school, my parents had not divorced, so there were more photos before that. ."I see.
Xu Hexing roughly understood.
It seems that in this relationship, Huo Yu's father plays the role of recorder.
Xu Hexing saw that his expression was not sad, so he continued: "It seems that your father is quite romantic. Looking at this photo, I would have thought it was some classic blockbuster!"
When talking about his father, Huo Yu was rarely tender, "I Dad is an artist, right? After all, he has written well-known songs, so he is inevitably more talented in this area."
Xu Hexing read the words on the note.
He could feel through words that Huo Yu's father loved him.
Even if a note contains only a few words, it reveals pride in the child's growth.
"Your father loves you very much." Xu Hexing said.
Huo Yu didn't refute, his thoughts drifted back to a far away place.
"I haven't had much contact with him. I know he loves me, but music is always more important in his heart. After he divorced my mother, he left the house and rented an expensive recording studio by himself, doing just that every day. He could eat instant noodles and steamed buns, and it took several years for him to gradually get better.
"Then do you hate him?"
Huo Yu was stunned, not expecting Xu Hexing to ask him such a question. He thought seriously for a long time, and finally said slowly: "I don't think I hate him. He is a human being first, and then a father. He has the right to pursue his love."
Huo Yu paused, and then said: "Actually, I still I envy him a lot. He has his own pursuits and strives for them. But I would be lying if he said he didn't complain. He is partly responsible for the breakdown of a family. As my mother said, he chose art and abandoned it. I have lost my family, so I have been feeling sorry for my mother for so many years."
Xu Hexing held his hand and stroked it gently, as if to soothe the soul on his hand and smooth out all the scars.
"But he was very kind to me. He understood my mother's temperament. During the period when my mother and I had the deepest conflict, he had been secretly 'rescuing' me."
Huo Yu looked as usual, without too much emotion.
When Xu Hexing saw this, he also took the initiative to talk about his parents, "Actually, I was very rebellious when I was a child. I often quarreled with my mother, and she would always beat me." He even made himself laugh as he spoke, beaming with joy.
"My mother is a high school teacher who teaches Chinese. She didn't care much about me when I was a child, as if I wasn't her son at all. She was stricter with her students than I was, and she could immediately detect when students were not feeling right. Then At that time, I would fight against her every day just to make her notice me."
Speaking of this, Xu Hexing also felt that he was too naive when he was a child.
Huo Yu looked at his eyes and wondered how someone could have such bright eyes.
"Then she must be a good teacher."
Xu Xu Hexing said with a bit of pride: "Yes, the classes she taught were always the best. Later when I grew up, she told me that as a teacher There must be a certain amount of pressure on the students so that they will not be too loose, but as a mother... she is not willing to put pressure on me. She wants me to do whatever I want and be happy every day. Anyway, there are teachers in school to take care of me. That's enough, she believes in me and the teachers in the school."
Xu Hexing became more tender when talking about his mother.
"She is both an excellent teacher and an excellent mother." Huo Yu said.
Xu Hexing nodded heavily, "But I don't mean to show off this. I just want to tell you that your mother definitely loves you too. It's just that the way she expressed it is wrong, or she doesn't know how to love at all." Xu Hexing came to the conclusion. : "I think you need to communicate more with your mother. Even if she really doesn't love you and makes you sad and disappointed, it doesn't matter. Anyway... my mother, for sure, will also like you!"
Xu Hexing said every word. It hit Huo Yu's heart hard. There was a huge wave of fear in my heart, and a crackling sound rang in my ears.
"What do you mean...?"
Xu Hexing's ears were red and his eyes were evasive: "You're so stupid!" He said word by word: "I mean, my mother can also be your mother. If you want. "
Huo Yu's heart trembled, his heart beat faster, and his eyes suddenly became brighter.
"But I'm a boy."
Xu Hexing tilted his head: "What does this mean? But my parents may not be able to accept it for a while, but it doesn't matter, we can face it together, right? Just wait until they accept you, right? ?"
Xu Hexing's words did not mean giving a promise, but he just expressed what he was thinking.
His thoughts may be a little simple, but they are very sincere.
He had already thought that the road ahead would be difficult, but his trust in his family and their love for him made him not afraid of difficulties, but rather magnanimous.
These are things Huo Yu doesn't have.
He is so bright and hot.
It gave Huo Yu a sense of security, and at the same time, Huo Yu couldn't help but look forward to the future.
Huo Yu had a lot of things he wanted to say, but he finally said nothing.
Her Adam's apple twitched a few times, and she gently pinched Xu Hexing's earlobe and placed a very light and gentle kiss on his lips.
This kiss meant that he dedicated his whole heart to the shining young man in front of him. -The
atmosphere was charming for a moment. Xu Hexing calmed down before remembering the photo album in his hand. He flipped through a few pages and saw a few silly photos of Huo Yu. Xu Hexing couldn't help but joke. He smiled and picked up his phone to take the photos. Try to save it to your phone as a future threat.
Huo Yu noticed his intention in time and locked him in his arms. He put his arms around Xu Hexing's neck and made a chokehold.
Xu Hexing was most honest only when she was in his arms.
"Don't make trouble." Huo Yu pressed against his ear, breathing on his auricle, causing ripples.
"I'm not making a fuss. Can you save my photos but not yours?" Xu Hexing sounded dangerous, as if he was about to start a war with Huo Yu in the next second.
"Yes, I am a double standard." Huo Yu still hugged Xu Hexing tightly, not giving him a chance to jump up and hit him.
Xu Hexing made no effort to break free, so he stopped trying. He turned to the next page and subconsciously looked at what was written on the note first, and then looked at the photos.
Looking at the time, it seems to be when Huo Yu was in the third grade of elementary school.
Xu Hexing's eyes fell on the photo and his movements froze.
Huo Yu also saw the photo, and his reaction was violent, as if he wanted to take the album back from Xu Hexing.
But Xu Hexing held the photo album tightly with a strange expression.
"This photo, this, this photo, isn't the girl in this photo me? You..." Xu Hexing looked shocked, with complicated expressions on his face, looking at Huo Yu dimly.
For the first time in his life, Huo Yu had the urge to escape from this place.
No matter how slow Xu Hexing is, he should understand something.
The girl in this photo is Xu Hexing, who is in third grade.
At the gala that year, he got the task of playing a princess. His mother cooperated very well and bought a beautiful princess dress and even put on an exquisite wig for him.
This moment was captured in many shots.
Xu Hexing looked at himself in the photo wearing a princess dress and the little chubby boy next to him.
"This is you, this is me." Xu Hexing pointed at the photo and said, "You know what? Don't lie to people." Huo Yu nodded.
Everything is clear.
Xu Hexing tried hard to dig out a figure from his memory.
The blurred memory gradually returned to its original brightness. He was the little boy who chased after him because he said a word to him.
Not "little fat cat" or "little fat insect".
It's a "little fat fish".
"So you are the little fat fish? I am your boss?"
Huo Yu still nodded, but pinched Xu Hexing's fingers uneasily, fearing that he would be angry.
Xu Hexing breathed a long sigh of relief, "Have you always known it? Or did you know it later?"
Huo Yu stared at his eyes and hesitated for a moment: "I have always known it."
Xu Hexing always felt that something was wrong. Didn't he believe that fate was like this? Coincidentally, he didn't believe it was fate that made them meet again.
So there is only one possibility.
——"Did you come to Ningda University because of me?"
For a moment, Xu Hexing even hoped that Huo Yu's answer would be no, even if he lied to himself.
But Huo Yu didn't get what he wanted, so he said, "Yes, for you."
Suddenly, Xu Hexing heard the sound of collapse. A wave of heat surged through his body and converged in front of his eyes. He couldn't restrain it. He was like a confused child, helplessly searching for the truth.
Tears welled up in his eyes for a moment, piling up in a pile and glowing with luster.
Huo Yu was in a hurry and wanted to apologize, but he heard Xu Hexing say to him: "Why?"
"Because you said, let's meet in Ningda."
His words brought back Xu Hexing's memories, and even the memories were filled with memories at this moment. Colorful.
Two little boys appear in my mind, childish, simple, but full of true love.
They looked at each other and cried like two tearful people.
For young people, they had no idea what separation meant. They only knew that the two of them could no longer meet or play together.
They cannot accept such separation.
But there is nothing you can do.
I could only hold each other and shed tears.
