Chapter 62

At that time, what the three of them would do every time they went to Zichen's house was to jump high and touch the beam.When I was young, I saw who could reach the beam, and when I grew up, I saw who was farther than the beam.

I have tried several times without success.But once, I reached the crossbar with extraordinary performance, but similar luck never happened to me again.

But compared to Xia Tong, I'm already considered good.Xia Tong has never been able to reach that beam.So, most of the time in Zichen's house, she spent jumping and jumping under the beam.

Once again, Zichen bullied her and put her new album on the beam.Ouyang and Xu Fan couldn't stand it any longer, and said, okay, okay, let's help you.But Xia Tong shouted: "The three of you are together, don't think I don't know." They couldn't laugh or cry.

Later, Zichen said that that sentence was the most incisive evaluation of the relationship between the three of them that he had ever heard, and it hit the nail on the head.

While we were watching TV, Xia Tong jumped up and down, moving chairs and laying mats, but he didn't move them down in a daze.

Later, under the support of Ouyang and Xu Fan, Xia Tong took down the album.

Another time, when Zichen was standing in the corridor playing a game console, Xia Tong walked over and kicked him for nothing, but Zichen didn't respond; Xia Tong then kicked him again, but Zichen still didn't respond; , Zichen would kick her N feet, Xia Tong thought it would be useless to kick her, so he added another kick, Zichen yelled at her, if you kick me again, I will lift up your skirt.

Xia Tong immediately went to find Ouyang Hao.Ouyang Hao was also playing games at that time, and he was fighting against Zichen and Xu Fan.He asked, what's the matter?Xia Tong said, Brother Zichen said he wanted to lift up my skirt.Ouyang Hao was in a daze of killing at that time, so he said, let brother Zichen do it if he wants to do it, it's no big deal.

Later, whenever this matter was brought up, Ouyang Zichen and Xu Fan and I laughed so hard, and every time Ouyang and Zichen were bound to be severely beaten.

When he came back to his senses, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth unknowingly.

I put away my smile and looked at Xia Tong, who had fallen asleep in Xu Fan's arms.Also, I must be very tired after a busy day in the bookstore today!

Seeing her sleeping soundly, I felt a sense of exhaustion in my heart, so I closed my eyes and fell into a drowsy sleep.

When he woke up again, Xu Fan and Xia Tong had already left, while the others were still there.

I poked Su Yun next to me with my hand and asked, where are Xia Tong and Xu Fan?

Su Yun said, Oh!Xia Tong said that she had to work at night, so Xu Fan sent her to the bookstore.

It didn't take long for the party to break up.Because Yu Lan said that he wanted to go back to the company, Ouyang said that he would take me home.I sat in the back of the car, looking at Ouyang and Shen Man in front, feeling unspeakably uncomfortable.

I didn't like Xia Tong in that position before; now it's Shen Man, I still don't like it.

However, Ouyang Hao and Shen Man are really a good match.

Shen Man asked about my postgraduate entrance examination, how I was preparing, and so on.I agreed one by one.She handed me a note full of book titles and said, "These books are said to be good, you can refer to them."

I accepted it gratefully and put it in my bag, only to find that Xia Tong's cell phone was still in my bag.So, I said, "Let's go to the bookstore! Xia Tong's cell phone is still with me!"

Seeing the small shop from a distance, Shen Man exclaimed, "Wow! What a romantic bookstore! I really want to go in and have a look." But Ouyang said, "Today is too late, next time!"

After the car stopped, Ouyang had no intention of getting down.Shen Man then said, "Xiao Mu, hurry up! We'll wait for you here."

I said yes.

I went to the glass door and looked inside, but no one was there.I called Tongtong's name, pushed the door open and walked in, as if I heard the sound of someone arguing, then I saw Tongtong rushing out from the back room, and Duan Ze grabbed her tightly.Xia Tong struggled and shouted: "I don't want to tell you now, let me go, let go..." Duan Ze clung to her stubbornly.

When I saw this scene, I felt all the blood rushing to my head, and I was about to run over to teach that kid a lesson.But I saw a figure had gone before me.

Ouyang Hao grabbed Duan Ze and hit him.

After Xia Tong reacted in a daze, he hurried over to pull Ouyang Hao away desperately.And shouted at Duan Ze: "Go, you go!" Duan Ze wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said fiercely: "Why should you go? He should go, why should he hit me?"

This sentence undoubtedly added fuel to the fire. Xia Tong was so anxious for a moment that she turned her head to ask me for help, but her anxious expression froze for a moment.Only then did I realize that Shen Man had also come in.

Hearing Duan Ze's words, Ouyang became even more angry, and wanted to rush over again. Xia Tong pushed Ouyang Hao hard and shouted: "You go!"

Ouyang calmed down, as if he didn't understand her words, "I'm leaving? You asked me to go?" Ouyang smiled self-deprecatingly, looked around, tried his best to control his emotions, but finally failed, he shouted loudly "What did he do to you?"

Seeing that he was so angry, Xia Tong also became angry for a while: "Why does he treat me with nothing to do with you?"

Ouyang said coldly: "You said you want to live a new life." He bit his lips from time to time to avoid losing control of his emotions, "Look at the so-called friends you made, look at your current appearance, a mess, a mess .Is this the new life you want?"

Xia Tong stared at him fiercely, "Yeah! This is my life now. What's wrong?" Because she was agitated, her tone was a little sluggish, she stopped, breathing quickly, and then shouted hoarsely, "You What right do you have to control me, you and I are nothing, nothing."

Ouyang Hao trembled violently, his lips were bitten white, his voice slowed down, and he repeated Xia Tong's words stiffly: "What... nothing?" The pain in his tone made even Xia Tong startled up.

The anger on her face gradually began to dissipate, and there seemed to be some slight guilt in the corners of her eyes.At this time, Shen Man walked up to Ouyang and gently held his arm.

Guilt turned into indifference in an instant.

Xia Tong lowered his eyes, took a deep breath, and said emotionlessly: "Yes. It's nothing. You don't need to take care of my affairs anymore."

Ouyang gritted his teeth and nodded fiercely. There seemed to be a layer of mist rising in his eyes, shining brightly under the fluorescent lamp.His clenched fists kept shaking.

Xia Tong just stared at the floor, his hands clenched his skirt tightly, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he didn't say a word.

Ouyang said resolutely: "Okay. I don't care, no matter what you look like, I won't care anymore." After saying that, he turned to leave.

At this time, Shen Man grabbed him and said eagerly: "Hao, don't be angry. Tongtong is young and ignorant. You are an older brother, why do you also say such angry words?"

Xia Tong raised her head abruptly, and at that moment, the deep water in her eyes suddenly disappeared, not even a trace of mist.She squinted at Shen Man with disgust and hatred, and shouted desperately: "Shut up! You called Tongtong too? You..."

In an instant, everything fell silent.

A group of children are chasing after each other from the door;

The peddler pushed the squeaking cart, "Selling tea eggs!";
A few girls are discussing the new song released by a certain singer;
The cold air overflows from the air conditioner and makes a "whirring" sound;
In the nearby video store, a female voice sang ethereally "...in your deepest sleep what are you dreaming of...";
The sound of that slap seemed to still echo in the bookstore, no, it echoed throughout the world.Otherwise, how could I suddenly lose my hearing of other voices?
Shen Man lowered his head, expressionless;

Duan Ze looked at Ouyang and Xia Tong with astonishment;
Ouyang stood straight on the spot with his back straight, his eyes were full of tears, pain, sadness, guilt, or remorse... The silvery eyes trembled like mercury in his eyes.

Xia Tong's hand has been loosened from her skirt, she stands there dumbly, like a fossil, the anger, resentment and hysteria just now have all disappeared from her pale face, and it has been completely removed, leaving only a few shallow smiles. Fingerprints.

"Tongtong, I..." Ouyang was in so much pain that he stretched out his hand, wanting to touch Xia Tong's injured face at the moment.

But just when his hand was about to touch her, Xia Tong calmly pushed his hand away.

Xia Tong raised his head and smiled politely: "Go away!"

Ouyang was startled suddenly, and slowly withdrew his hand.

This sentence, this smile, is more lethal than crying and hitting him, than saying I hate you.

Ouyang stared at Xia Tong's friendly but distant smile, and the light in his eyes was suddenly extinguished.At last he nodded with all his might.Then, I walked out of the bookstore.Shen Man followed closely behind him and went out.

After I put her mobile phone on the cash register, I turned my head and glanced at her. She was facing me sideways, but she was still standing there straight, with the same smile on her face as before, but there was no trace of blood on her face.

My heart felt sore. In fact, Ouyang's attack was not serious at all just now, but for Xia Tong, as long as Ouyang raised his hand at that moment, no matter how serious or not, even whether he hit her or not, the effect would be the same.

I couldn't bear to see her empty expression anymore, so I left quickly.I know that she is trying her best to hold on now, and she will cry unpreparedly after we leave, crying out all the grievances.

It's just, since when did we become what she was guarding against.

When the car started, I looked inside the bookstore again, and Xia Tong was still standing there like a statue.Duan Ze stood next to her at a loss.

Xia Tong, the bottom of my heart must be desolate and desolate at this moment!

The eyes suddenly became heavy, the glass door and window gradually became white, and the thin and stiff shadow slowly melted into the white world, blurred and disappeared.

Ouyang first sent Shen Man home.

About 100 meters in front of my community, Ouyang stopped the car.I knew he had something to say to me, so I opened the door and walked down the street.

At the end of August, it was the end of summer.The wind in the middle of the night had a slight chill, and the eyes were suddenly exposed to the night wind, feeling dry and wrinkled.

Seeing Ouyang's gloomy expression, I wanted to say something first, but I couldn't say a word.Because I know, as soon as I open my mouth, I will definitely ask, why did I leave in a hurry that day at the hospital?Why did you become Shen Man's boyfriend when you met again?Do you like Shen Man that much?For Shen Man, he lost his temper with Xia Tong and even hit her.

However, for that slap just now, Ouyang's pain was no less than Xia Tong's, or he was more painful than Xia Tong's.

"It might be better for her that way."

Ouyang's voice was faint, and he looked at the sky.Looking against the light of the magnolia flower street lamp, I couldn't see his expression.

"Don't miss the past, start a new life." Ouyang lowered his head, the light of the street lamp was instantly blocked behind, and his sharp face came back in front of me.He smiled softly, "She really had a good time there."

I suddenly understood that everything was for her.I'd rather she hate herself, but let her live well.

Ouyang Hao, how long do you have to fulfill your responsibility as a brother?

He laughed: "I really spoiled her before!" There was no trace of regret in his tone, but a sense of pride and satisfaction.

He smiled sadly, "Look at her now, she is domineering and unreasonable."

Later, he left.

I took a few steps forward, then looked back, and saw the red taillight getting farther and farther away, turned and disappeared.

The side where the car turned was not the direction he was heading home.

I saw Xia Tong again and talked about returning the phone that night.I asked her, what happened to you and Duan Ze that day?

Xia Tong smiled embarrassedly,

"Duan Ze got angry with me, saying that he thought I was a student who wanted to work hard on his own like him. I said I was. He said that you are not, you are a rich lady, you came here to experience life, it is my fault I usually help you so much, but I don’t know how you laugh at me? I said, I am not the eldest lady of a rich family, and I will be angry if you say that again. He said, you are. I said, you are crazy, I I'm too lazy to talk to you. He said no, you must explain it to me today. Then..."

I said, are you still talking now?

Xia Tong said, "After you left that day, I sat on the ground and cried all the time, and he sat next to me and kept saying, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, it's all my fault. Don't cry , if you cry again, I will cry too..."

After a pause, I asked her again: "At that time, why were you so impulsive? Ouyang is already angry enough, and you still have to provoke him again and again."

The smile on Xia Tong's face gradually calmed down, "That might be better for him."

I don't understand.

"Yeah!" Xia Tong sighed, "I'm not that kind of person, but at that time, I just wanted him to see my domineering and unreasonable side and let him down. Don't care about my sister anymore and continue to live with him new life."

As she spoke, she lowered her head, with a look of disappointment and grievance: "But when he hit me, I was really sad and uncomfortable." She said quietly, "Brother Ouyang has never hit me, never " Her voice became smaller and smaller, "If I had a slight injury before, he would be very worried..."

I am speechless.

I didn't tell Xia Tong what Ouyang Hao said to me that night, and of course, I didn't tell Ouyang Hao what Xia Tong said to me this time.

No need, I said to myself, since that's what they wanted.
