Chapter 7 Dust 2
Guyu's mother smiled with relief, took his hand, walked to the sofa and sat down, and said to me: "Just treat it as your own home, don't be restrained, I will cook for you, and you can eat in a while."
After saying that, Guyu's mother walked towards the kitchen.
Guyu sat down on the single sofa without saying a word.
Silence spread for a moment.
I know that Guyu may still not be able to forgive Chen Qiaoluo now, but what does it matter? This hatred will eventually be smoothed out by the tide of time without leaving any trace.
Everyone was silent during the meal, except me, who was dancing around the table like a monkey to liven up the atmosphere, for example, praising Guyu's mother for her delicious cooking and Guyu for his good grades.
Although there was little communication during the meal, it was ultimately harmonious and peaceful.
After dinner, I followed Guyu's mother to wash dishes in the kitchen, leaving Chen Qiaoluo and Guyu sitting outside. I kept looking outside because I was a little worried about them.
Guyu's mother, however, didn't care much. She smiled and comforted me, "Yun is fine. Don't think too much. Guyu is just throwing a tantrum now. There won't really be anything going on between him and the kid from the Chen family."
I turned to look at Guyu's mother, and she smiled and said, "In fact, it was he who suggested that the child from the Chen family come over. On the day I was discharged from the hospital, he told me that most of my hospital expenses over the years were paid by the children of the Chen family. I am old, and I am not so obsessed with the past. Don't the old people always say that 'life and death are determined by fate, and wealth and honor are determined by God'? Guyu's father's affairs are also determined by fate. And what they owed us, they have already paid off. The word 'hate' is too heavy. Guyu still has such a long way to go in his life, and I don't want him to be suffocated by this word."
Guyu's mother's words made me silent. In fact, who are the parents in this world different? My father to me, Aunt He Pei to Chen Qiaoluo, Guyu's mother to Guyu, each of them sincerely wants us to live well, live happily and strongly in this flashy world.
When I walked out with the fruit cut by Guyu's mother, I happened to see Guyu and Chen Qiaoluo preparing to leave one after the other. I put down the fruit plate in my hand and asked them, "Where are you going?"
Guyu turned around and smiled at me and said, "Chen Qiaoluo and I have something to talk about. Please don't follow me."
Seeing him like this, I was slightly startled, and when I came to my senses, the door had been closed.
I know there is always a knot in Guyu's heart, and only Chen Qiaoluo can untie that knot. I naively thought that maybe after their talk this time, the relationship between the two people would undergo a qualitative change.
But my beautiful dream was soon shattered. When someone knocked on Guyu's door loudly and quickly, Guyu's mother and I were sitting on the sofa eating fruit, chatting and watching TV.
I walked over to open the door, but someone pushed it open. He hurried into the living room and shouted at Guyu's mother, "Wu Shumei, it's bad, your Guyu fell into the water!"
As soon as the words fell, I was stunned. The remote control in Guyu's mother's hand fell to the ground with a bang.
When we hurried to the river bank not far away, Guyu had been rescued and laid on the grass. His face was extremely pale and his lips were black and blue.
Guyu's mother burst into tears, stumbled through the crowd, ran to Guyu's side, knelt down, and called Guyu's name again and again. The sound was so heartbreaking and heartbreaking.
People around me kept talking, but I just stood there and watched the scene as if I was acupunctured. I wanted to cry, but my tear glands seemed to have suddenly broken down, leaving only an empty space in my chest, with wind constantly pouring into it. It was so painful and unbearable.
After a while, I remembered Chen Qiaoluo. Guyu was like this, so where was Chen Qiaoluo? They had clearly come out together before. Worry instantly swept over me, and I hurried to find Chen Qiaoluo. I saw him on the shore not far away, sitting on the ground, his shadow stretched long by the sunlight.
My heart dropped a little, but the next second I found that his body was clean, without a single water stain.
The fear overwhelmed me at that moment. I forgot how much effort it took for me to get to Chen Qiaoluo's side. My tears seemed to be released at this moment and they slid down my cheeks in big drops.
I opened my mouth and said in a hoarse voice: "Chen Qiaoluo, why here?"
As if hearing my voice, Chen Qiaoluo slowly raised his head.
At that moment, I clearly saw his red and swollen eyes and tear-stained cheeks. He looked at me with a silent sadness in his eyes. My heart seemed to be hit hard by something, and the pain instantly spread from my heart to my whole body.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, I gritted my teeth and couldn't help but let my tears fall. I then asked, "Tell me, why did Guyu become like that?"
One minute passed, then two minutes passed... Chen Qiaoluo still maintained the same posture, but tears gradually gathered in his eyes.
I looked at him and closed my eyes in disappointment. If Chen Qiaoluo said that this matter had nothing to do with him, then I would definitely believe him. No matter what he said, I would believe him unconditionally. What I fear most is that he is like this now, so that I can't find any reason to comfort myself and say that this matter has nothing to do with him.
After a while, I finally opened my eyes, looked at him sadly and said, "Chen Qiaoluo, I thought you were very kind and had no bad intentions towards Guyu, but I never thought you were so mean. I, Zhu Jun, am not good at judging people."
After saying this, I turned around and left. I didn't know what Chen Qiaoluo's expression was like behind me, but the moment I turned my head, tears poured down my face.
When we returned to the place where Guyu had the accident, the crowd had gradually dispersed, and Guyu and Guyu's mother were gone.
A passerby passed by me, sighing and talking to the people around him. I stopped them and asked hurriedly, "Excuse me, do you know where the boy who fell into the water just now and his parents went?"
"Oh, you mean them." The passerby sighed and said with a regretful tone, "Just now the ambulance came and took them away. It seems that you are his classmate. I think he is very brave. Earlier, a little kid accidentally fell into the water. He passed by and saw it and jumped in without saying a word. Unexpectedly... And his mother is so pitiful. She has been crying non-stop since just now. Alas, she fainted when the ambulance came just now."
It turns out that this is what happened.
I thanked him and ran to the hospital.
When I arrived, Guyu had already been sent to the operating room for emergency surgery, and Guyu's mother fainted due to being too sad, so she was sent to the general ward for an IV drip.
I stood anxiously at the door of the operating room, but the operation lasted for a long time. When I came to my senses again, it was already dusk. An anxious young mother came up to me with a little boy and said gratefully, "You are the friend of the boy who is doing the operation inside, right? I am Xiaofeng's mother. If it weren't for him, Xiaofeng would probably be gone. Thank you so much."
I squatted down and looked at the little boy in front of me. He seemed to know that he had done something wrong and looked at me with red eyes.
I reached out and touched his hair. This was the little boy that Guyu had saved. Because of him, Guyu was still in the operating room behind me, his life or death unknown. When I thought of this, I couldn't help but feel the resentment in my heart.
Everyone is selfish. Guyu may be fearless, but how can I, who stays here, really not hate?
Seeing that I didn't say anything, the young mother was a little embarrassed, but she kept saying, "I know you are very sad now, and our family is very sorry about this. If something really happens to that boy, we are willing to take all the responsibilities."
"Take responsibility?" I sneered, looked at her coldly and said, "If something really happens to him, what responsibility can you take? Do you know that he has always been an excellent student in our school and just received an admission letter from his favorite university some time ago. He should have a bright future and his future life has been completely planned. But now, he is lying in the operating room and his life is uncertain!"
I was so emotional that the little boy next to me burst into tears when he saw me being so scared. His mother looked at me with embarrassment, then lowered her head to comfort him.
Seeing them like this, I closed my eyes and said, "Go ahead. If something really happens to him, go talk to his mother."
As soon as I finished speaking, she immediately picked up her son and left quickly.
I smiled bitterly in my heart.
