Xia You Arbor: Looking to Heaven

Chapter 51 Love and Hate Forever (2)
On the way back, Xia Mu leaned on Shu Yawang's shoulder and fell into a deep sleep. Shu Yawang held his hand and looked at him distressedly. He must not have slept well in prison. serious.

He must not have eaten in prison, look, there is not even a bit of meat on his cheeks...

Shu Yawang bit her lip and held back her tears. How much she wanted to wake him up, hug him tightly, and tell him that the suffering was over. From now on, she would accompany him, live the life he wanted, and do what he wanted She will never let him suffer, never let him get hurt again.

The phone rang at this moment, Shu Yawang quickly picked it up, lest it disturb the sleeping Xia Mu.

"Yawang, did you hear Xia Mu?" Dad Shu's sonorous voice was on the phone.

"Well, I got it."

"how is he?"

"Not bad, very energetic."

"That's good, take good care of him."

"Don't worry, Dad, I know."

"Okay, then I'll hang up and bring him back early."

Shu Yawang talked to Papa Shu again before hanging up the phone, and turned to look at Xia Mu, only to see that he was already awake, but he was leaning on her shoulder and motionless.

"It bothered you?"

"No." In fact, he has not fallen asleep, but he likes to lean on her like this.I remember that when he was young, he often leaned against her like this, but as he grew older, he never did such a move again. This kind of closeness really made him miss and like it very much.

Shuya saw that he had no intention of getting up, she didn't move, and just let him lean on her.She turned her head and looked out of the window, the scenery outside kept going backwards. Many things happened in the past six years. Xia Mu’s grandfather was diagnosed with liver cancer two years ago and went to the United States for treatment. Originally, Xia Mu insisted on coming back when he was released from prison. It's just that he had an operation not long ago, so he couldn't take the plane, and Xia Mu refused anyone to pick him up, except her, of course.

In Xia Mu's heart, apart from his grandfather, she is the only relative.

The train slowly stopped in City S. When the two walked out of the train station, they saw a black limousine parked there. The driver's door was opened. Uncle Zheng got out of the car and walked forward excitedly, patting Xia Mu shoulder said: "Xia Mu."

"Uncle Zheng." Xia Mu and Shu Yawang called out at the same time.

"Yeah." Uncle Zheng's eyes were a little red, he turned his head, and quickly opened the car door, "I didn't forget about you, Uncle Zheng, I know you're home, and I want your uncle to pick you up."

Shu Yawang smiled and said, "Uncle talks nonsense, how could we forget you."

Xia Mu put the two people's luggage into the trunk, led Shu Yawang into the car and said, "Uncle, I'm sorry to trouble you."

"What's the trouble, I'm the driver of your Xia family." Uncle Zheng said while starting the car, "Your grandfather is not in the country, and uncle hasn't driven for a long time."

Shu Yawang smiled lightly: "Uncle, you are exaggerating."

But Xia Mu asked: "How is grandpa?" Every time he called him, he said it was fine and he would go back to China soon, but he didn't see grandpa come back until now, instead he asked him to go there.

Uncle Zheng hurriedly said: "It's okay, the United States said the operation was a success, but they just need to rest for a few months."

Xia Mu felt relieved: "That's good."

The car drove for more than ten minutes, and it was already past two o'clock in the morning when we arrived at the compound of the military region. Uncle Zheng stopped the car and turned around to wake up the two people who were sleeping together in the back seat.

Shu Yawang opened her eyes and looked out of the car window. Although it was already dark, the scenery outside the window was so familiar. The row of cypresses in the flower garden at the door seemed to have never grown taller. The wind blows off the leaves, and the milky white buds on the delicately pruned wintersweet tree are waiting to be released. Everything is so familiar, as if she just went out from here yesterday. When she closes her eyes, she can clearly remember what happened when she was young. Everything in this yard.

"Yawang?" Xia Mu took her hand.

Shu Yawang opened her eyes and chuckled, "We're home."

"Yeah." Xia Mu nodded, looked at her and said, "I'm home."

"Go in quickly." Uncle Zheng beckoned them in quickly.

Before the three of them reached the door, the door was opened, and Aunt Mei, who had been helping Xia's family, brought out a brazier and put it at the door for Xia Mu to step over, and then brought a bowl of pig's feet noodles for Xia Mu to finish. Then he took the empty bowl and said comfortingly to Xia Mu: "That's good, this way the bad luck will go away, the young master will take a hot bath and burn all the clothes on his body, and he will surely have good luck in the future."

Uncle Zheng asked in surprise: "Do you want to burn clothes?"

Aunt Mei nodded resolutely: "What if we don't keep the bad luck out of the house? The clothes must be burned."

"Aunt Mei is right, burn it." Shu Yawang nodded in agreement.

Xia Mu has no objection, let's burn it, anyway, he has a lot of clothes.

Aunt Mei enthusiastically drove Xia Mu to take a bath, Xia Mu looked back at Shu Yawang, wanted to say something, but held back.

Xia Mu came out of the shower, looking at the empty living room, the loss in his heart was unbearable.

He lowered his eyes and walked up to the third floor. The door of his room was ajar, and the light in the room came out from the crack in the door.Xia Mu's eyes lit up slightly, and he hurried over, gently opened the door, Shu Yawang was lying on his bed, it seemed that she was already very tired from the three-day car ride, and she was in a deep sleep.

Xia Mu's expression softened slightly, he walked over lightly, and slowly squatted down beside her.The desk lamp on the desk was not turned off, the dim light shone on her soft side face, the black hair spread out on the pillow, Xia Mu just looked at her like that, as before, not even willing to touch her, but He squatted aside and watched her quietly, as if that was enough.

Suddenly, the silver necklace around her neck attracted his attention. He raised his right hand and slowly pulled the necklace out of his collar slightly. A beautiful silver kissing fish jumped into his eyes. On his own neck, there is also a small silver fish, which is tightly sticking to his skin.

This pair of little fishes was put on by his own hands for her on this bed when he was 17 years old. He asked her to keep it with him. It was also the first time he confessed to her. In a blink of an eye, it has been so long.

That time, he kissed her, right?

He couldn't remember what happened that night, only the throbbing feeling.He seemed to be fascinated, she always easily distracted him, he bent down and approached her slowly, every time he approached her like this, his heart would beat very fast, even breathing was difficult ...

At this moment, Shu Yawang's eyelashes trembled, he opened his eyes gently, and looked at him fixedly.They were so close that they could even feel each other's breathing, Shu Yawang blinked, Xia Mu hurriedly backed away, pursed the corners of his mouth, and asked awkwardly, "You've been wearing it all the time?"

Shu Ya glanced at the silver necklace around her neck, and nodded: "Yes."

Xia Mu tilted his head and asked softly, "Why?"

Shu Yawang sat up, she cut her hair and said doubtfully: "Didn't you tell me to wear it all the time?"

"Oh." Xia Mu lowered his eyes in disappointment.It turned out that she was just following the agreement and had no other intentions.

"And yours?"

"Ok?"

"This one." Shu Yawang shook the little fish on her neck, and asked with a smile, "Do you still wear that one?"

"Of course I wear it." Xia Mu pulled out an old red rope from his collar, and a silver kissing fish was hanging from the end of the rope.He has been wearing this little fish next to his body for six years. Every night when it is difficult to fall asleep, he will cover it with his hands and put it on the top of his chest. Only in this way can he feel calm.

Shu Yawang approached him, stretched out her hand, pulled the red rope, put the little fish in her hand, looked at the little fish and said, "Little fish, little fish, do you miss me?"

She shook the silver fish around her neck again, and continued, "I miss you so much."

Xia Mu pursed his lips and looked at her, his eyes were full of smiles, Shu Yawang continued to shake the two little fishes and said, "Ah, I haven't seen you for so long, let's kiss each other."

Seeing Shu Yawang approaching gently, Xia Mu stared at her in a daze, his breathing stopped.When he thought she would kiss him, she pulled the two small fishes around her neck and let them kiss mouth to mouth, Xia Mu looked away in disappointment.

Shu Yawang looked at him with a smile, leaned over, closed her eyes and placed a soft kiss on his forehead, then backed away, looked at him softly and said, "Good night, Xia Mu."

Xia Mu was stunned, he didn't come back until Shu Yawang left the room, he raised his hand and gently covered the place where Shu Yawang kissed just now, wondering suspiciously, just now, was it a dream?In the dream, his angel kissed him.

He pursed his lips slightly, and threw himself on the bed with some joy. The bed was so soft that he felt like he was in the clouds. He lay on the pillow and took a deep breath. He could smell the fragrance she left behind, that It was the smell that haunted him.He closed his eyes gently and fell into a deep sleep. He felt very happy, warm and at ease.

In the early morning of the next day, Shu Yawang and Xia Mu went back to their home together, and Shu's mother had been watching from the balcony early on. As soon as the two arrived downstairs, Shu's mother opened the door and ran down to meet them.Seeing Shu Yawang's figure, Shu's mother ran over to hug her in three steps at a time, cried and beat her while hugging her: "You cruel girl, you haven't come home for six years, don't you want your mother anymore? You bad girl."

"Mom, I'm back." Shu Yawang patted her mother's back comfortingly, "Don't cry."

Shu's mother wiped her tears: "You don't know how much my mother misses you. Every day I worry about you suffering outside. When I eat, I also think about whether you have not eaten well. When the weather is cold, I also think about whether you are not dressed warmly..."
