Flowers and dances

Chapter 12

Chu Wu has long been used to such days.From the second day to the sixth day of the year, she basically spends her time at home alone, but she herself doesn't think it's a big deal.It's just that whenever she goes to the street and sees other people's family of three, she still occasionally thinks of the happy family she once had.

Years ago, she promised Sun Xiaoran to go to Sun's house. On the night of the fifth day of the new year, Sun Feiran also called and said that he would come to pick her up the next day.They knew that she would basically be at home alone during the Chinese New Year. When she was a child, Sun Feiran and Sun Xiaoran would come to accompany her whenever they had time. This was the constant friendship between her and them.

At around ten o'clock on the sixth day of the sixth day, Feiran drove to the entrance of the alley.The car couldn't drive into the narrow alley, he leaned against the car and looked at the small old houses, smiling at the beautiful figure in the distance.When Chu Wu came out, she saw a silver-gray car. Her eyes fell on the license plate and she paused for a few seconds.

"Why did you still buy something?" Feiran took it over.

Chu Wu thought that what she bought in the current Sun family might not look good, so she bought a simple fruit basket.

"Uncle Sun and Auntie are at home today?"

"Chuwu, what are you afraid of? It's not like you haven't seen it before." Feiran raised his eyebrows slightly.

Chu Wu curled her lips, but when she talked to her grandma, she couldn't get anywhere.

"By the way, were you familiar with that person that day?" Fei suddenly changed the subject.

Chu Wu was slightly taken aback, realizing that he was talking about Xi Haoze, she replied flatly, "Not familiar."

Sun Feiran smiled lightly, "Xiaoran, this girl, has been thinking about him all day long, and now she is asking people around in private, she is obsessed."

Chu Wu turned her head slightly, silently watching the trees flying by outside the window.

The place where the Sun family lives now is a group of villas.When she got out of the car, looking at the small western-style buildings, she narrowed her eyes slightly, with an unknown emotion flashing in her eyes.

Sun Xiaoran opened the door with a smile on his face, "Chuwu, you are finally here, come in quickly."

Grandmother sat on the sofa watching the replayed sketch, giggled, turned to look at her, and said lightly, "Chuwu, here we come."

"Auntie, I'm here to wish you New Year's greetings."

"Sit down, sit down. Xiaoran pour some water." Grandma has started to put on weight in recent years, but she must be fat.

"Mom, Chu Wu is not a guest." Sun Xiaoran poured the water obediently.

Grandmother caught a glimpse of the fruit basket that Chuwu was carrying, her eyes were calm, "It's good that people come, what to buy. Years ago, Xiaoran's father brought a lot of fruit from Hainan, and we couldn't finish it."

Chu Wu smiled lightly.

"Mom, where's dad?" Feiran asked.

"People from the tax bureau invited him out. By the way, a friend of mine will come over later."

Feiran frowned slightly, "Why didn't you say it before?"

"I was a junior high school classmate, Aunt Zhao who later became an art troupe. Doesn't your sister also want to join the art troupe? It happened to invite someone to come and walk around, so I can understand the situation."

Feiran couldn't say anything.

Grandmother looked at Chuwu for a few moments, then continued watching TV.

After a while, when grandma's classmate came, Chuwu understood what grandma meant.

Grandmother's old classmate brought a girl.

"Hey, this is Weiwei. I remember seeing her when she was ten years old. She was so beautiful in the blink of an eye. Old Zhao, seeing the child, I have to say that we are all old."

"Auntie, you are not old at all. If you go out shopping with me, others will regard us as sisters." Weiwei said and glanced at Chu Wu lightly.

Grandmother suddenly burst into laughter.

"The kid will be talkative."

Grandmother took her hand, "Weiwei, this is your brother Feiran, you both met when you were young. That's your younger sister, Xiaoran."

Weiwei smiled sweetly at them, "Brother Feiran."

"Feiran, go get some food for Weiwei."

"Old Li, is that girl Feiran's target? You are so lucky, such a handsome girl."

"I don't have that kind of luck. I'm Xiaoran's classmate who came to pay us New Year's greetings." Grandma pursed her lips and said with a smile.

Chu Wu sat and watched this scene, her mind was clear.

"You guys talk first, I'll go to the kitchen and have a look." Grandma stood up.

Feiran's expression was not good either, he stood up after a while with a sullen face, and walked into the kitchen.

"You and Xiaoran are classmates, are you also a dancer?" Lu Wei asked.

"Yes, but we're not in the same school."

Lu Wei's mother nodded, "Why do I look so familiar to you, I seem to have seen you somewhere."

"Auntie, I'm probably the face of the public." Chu Wu twitched the corner of her mouth.

Sun Xiaoran picked up the kettle, "Auntie, I'll pour you a cup of tea. Sister Weiwei drinks tea." Her mobile phone rang suddenly, and while she was pouring water, she took out her mobile phone, and instantly the water dripped down and dripped onto Lu Wei's shoes superior.

"The water is flooding!" Lu Wei stood up quickly, her face slightly annoyed.

Sun Xiaoran narrowed his eyes, turned his eyes, and said cunningly, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Looking at her like that, Chu Wu knew that she did it on purpose, so she pursed her lips helplessly, "I'll get the rag."

Sun Xiaoran winked at her triumphantly.

Sun's kitchen has an arched frosted glass door. Although the door is closed, the movement inside is clear.Chu Wu stood at the door, just as her hand touched the doorknob, she heard a suppressed dispute coming from inside.

"Sun Feiran, let me tell you, you'd better withdraw your thoughts as soon as possible. Who is she, her family, why should parents like her be our in-laws? It's not that you don't know that her mother ran away with someone... ..."

As if struck by lightning, Chu Wu felt a sharp pain in her heart, she stood there in a daze, her hand unconsciously pinched deeply into the flesh of her palm.

"Mom, how can you say that? It's not like you don't know Chuwu's character."

"I know. But I also know that the dragon begets the dragon, the phoenix begets the phoenix, and the son of a mouse can make holes."

A word made her face pale in an instant.

When the door opened with a bang, the air flowed around in an instant, and her stiff body moved slowly.Sun Feiran stopped in shock, and unconsciously lost his voice in pain at the corner of his mouth, "Chuwu..."

Grandmother probably didn't expect that Chuwu was standing at the door, her eyes wandering.

The corners of Chu Wu's mouth trembled slightly, her black pupils were full of water, illusory like mist, and she slowly smiled, "Auntie, I... I'm here to talk to you, I, my dad Mom will be back in a while, I have to go back." She didn't know how she could say that sentence completely at that moment.

After finishing speaking, she didn't look at them again, and turned around stiffly. She knew that from now on, she would never step here again.

"Chu Wu, wait a minute." Fei quickly followed up.

"Feiran, there are guests at home, please stop."

Sun Xiaoran stood up, wondering, "Mom, why did Chu Wu leave suddenly?"

"There is something at home." The grandma's face was sullen, she smiled dryly and accompanied the mother and daughter of the Lu family.

Chu Wu ran all the way, tears streaming down the air, the wind made her face hurt, until she was tired from running and couldn't run any more, she stopped, supported the parasol tree by the roadside, panting in pain , My heart throbbed in pain.

Sun Feiran walked to her side, "Chu Wu!"

Chu Wu was startled, "Feiran, you go back." Sun Feiran's eyes dimmed instantly with his soft words.

"I'm sorry, Chuwu, my mother..."

Her hands were digging deeply at the dry bark, her body trembling.Grandmother's words pierced her heart like needles. Nan Shumei was the indelible wound in her heart. She was carrying this heavy burden since she was a child. While she endured it silently by herself, she also had to bear being poked and poked by others.

Her long hair covered half of her face, and hot tears were streaming down her cheeks.

Sun Feiran frowned tightly, found his voice after a long time, and said in a hoarse voice, "Do you still remember what I told you before you took the postgraduate entrance examination?" He took a deep breath, paused, his tone There was a hint of panic in his heart, "I know that you won't listen to what I'm telling you now, but Chuwu, we've known each other for so many years, and I've been waiting for you to grow up, you know me..."

"Feiran, don't talk about it. I know, I know everything." Chu Wu interrupted his words, choking on sobs.

Feiran laughed at himself, "No matter what your family is, I only know that you are you, the little girl who followed me since childhood and asked me to do her homework for her."

Chu Wu looked at the vehicles passing by on the road, only seeing small blind spots in a daze.She laughed softly. Listening to that laughter, Feiran couldn't breathe because of the pain in his heart, and his footsteps seemed to be nailed to the ground, unable to extricate himself.

Chu Wu's tone was extremely flat, "But I can't afford a mother-in-law who looks down on my family."

Sun Feiran suddenly opened his eyes wide, and his eyes instantly dimmed. He stared blankly at her weak back, and slowly raised his hand, only to find that she was getting farther and farther away from him.

They are so close, but they can never come together.

During the first month, Xi Haoze went to City B to visit his grandfather.The old man has always liked this grandson, and this grandson resembles him the most.Of course, the old man was most concerned about his grandson's marriage, urging him to bring his wife back early to show him.When he returned to N City, the weather cleared away the haze of many days, and his mood cleared up instantly. Some things were about to start to be resolved.

The fifteenth month of the first month is round.

When Han Chen and Chuwu arrived at Wanhe Square, a large open space was covered with all kinds of lanterns.It has long been a world of lights, colorful and bright. Every year, the Lantern Festival in N City is very busy, and the police and civilians are dispatched. There are 40 to [-] people in one night, and if you are not careful, you can't find your way back.

They follow the flow of people down.There are beautiful lanterns hanging on every road, and Chu Wu looks up.Here is just a game of guessing lantern riddles and sending lanterns.

"Xiaochen, let's take a look here first." She always likes these things.After guessing many lantern riddles correctly along the way, Han Chen filled his hands with lanterns.If Han Chen hadn't pulled her at the end, she might have kept guessing.

"There's nowhere to put it back with so much! Or just throw it away." Han Chen was annoyed looking at the lanterns in both hands, and he was going to play with his classmates in a while.

Of course Chu Wu was reluctant, "Give it to me, you can go and play. At 09:30 I will wait for you by that golden sycamore tree."

Han Chen put the lantern on the ground and ran away excitedly.Chu Wu carried a lantern and walked across the pontoon bridge. The lights on both sides of the bridge were brightly lit. There were painted boats floating on the river bank, paddling leisurely on the river, and the faint sound of the piano came from the painted boats, which made people not feel envious.

When Xi Haoze came out of the guild hall, he looked at the bright moon and called Chuwu.Chu Wu was having fun, and she didn't care about the noisy voices along the way.Sitting by the bridge at the moment, the ringtone of the mobile phone can be heard clearly.

She looked at the flashing number on the phone, her expression paused, she was silent for a few seconds, and she still hesitated to pick it up, "Hello!"

Xi Haoze heard some commotion over there, "Where are you?"

Chu Wu curled her lips, "What does it have to do with you?"

The soft sound of the piano came to his ears, he pulled the corners of his mouth and didn't care about her, he lightly pressed the steering wheel with his fingers, suddenly his eyes flashed, and his lips curled up, "Chuwu, why don't we make a bet, you now Stand still, within 15 minutes, if I find you, will you... accompany me tonight?"

Chu Wu suddenly became hoarse, her face flushed red, she bit her lip, and the melodious and continuous sound of the piano came from her ears.The cold wind was blowing gently, keeping her dizzy head awake.

"Why? Don't dare!" Xi Haoze smiled slightly.

"Why should I bet with you?"

"If I can't find you, I can grant you a wish. It's a gift for the Lantern Festival. For example..." Xi Haoze paused deliberately, and said softly, "The matter of your classmate, of course, you also You can refuse."

His words tempted her like poppies, she opened her mouth silently, and her breathing suddenly tightened.

"I'm counting to 3 now, if you don't answer this, just pretend I didn't say it." The corners of Xi Haoze's mouth rose easily.

"1"

"2"

"3"
