Chapter 55

If my mood was worry and fear when watching the performance, then at this moment there is only worship.

In the past, my father was gentle and simple, but standing on the stage, he was shining brightly.Being watched by everyone in the audience, the most important thing is that he created a magical miracle.

Dad, who was enjoying the applause, showed a smile on his face, but his eyes were looking at me. Someone followed Dad's gaze.I raised my chin with a proud expression on my face, because the person who surprised you on stage just now was my dad.

I was still excited when I came out of the performance venue. I pulled Zhou Yu's sleeve and said, "Did you see my dad walking on that wooden box? It was walking sideways without a rope. What do you think my dad did?" Arrived? Does my dad really have magical powers? Or how can he fly over walls?"

I didn't get a response, so I turned my eyes and found that Zhou Yu's frowning was not as emotional as mine.

He looked at me and said seriously: "Jia Xiaoru, your father's acrobatic performance is too dangerous."

It can’t be said that I was splashed with cold water, but my original excitement was suppressed. Thinking back to the scene just now, I hesitated and said: "Maybe it looks dangerous. Dad should be sure on stage."

"It's not looking at the danger, it's a gamble with your life. If there is a slight mistake in the middle, your father will fall from the top. In the end, I should persuade your father not to do this kind of performance. Not to mention grandstanding, life is in danger. "

I immediately pulled my face down: "Who do you say is grandstanding?"

Zhou Yu also realized that he had said the wrong thing, and quickly explained to me: "That's not what I meant, I just think your father's job is too dangerous."

After that, I lost the intention of continuing to play in the playground. Zhou Yu ignored me several times while walking all the way, and he also fell silent and sulked.When I got out of the playground, Zhou Yu stopped me with a long face: "How long are you going to be so awkward? Isn't it just a slip of the tongue and said something about your father, I also apologize to you."

His attitude is called apologizing?I glared at him, "Get out of the way."

"No, let's make it clear first."

I took a deep breath and said, "My dad's performance is called magic, not acrobatics. Even if you don't like Zhou Gongjin, don't say my dad is grandstanding." Walk.

After riding for a while, Zhou Yu didn't catch up.

I made a mistake in the senior high school entrance examination, and my grades did not reach the score line of the key high school, so I fell into the second choice and entered an ordinary high school.

Originally, the summer vacation was the same as every year, but this year I had a particularly unhappy time.In addition to the disappointment of unsatisfactory grades in the high school entrance examination, there is also the astringency of the family becoming weak after the separation of parents.

My dad went to other places to perform with the circus, and my mom had to go to work during the day, so I was the only one at home.

When I heard someone knocking on the door outside the house, I thought it was a neighbor, but when I opened the door, I saw Zhou Yu standing outside.Since the playground broke up, the two ignored each other, and he didn't come to me on weekends, and I didn't see him when I failed in the high school entrance examination. When I saw him suddenly, the grievance in my heart was just poured out.

He was a little uncomfortable when I saw him, scratched his head and asked, "Why are you so stern?"

I curled my lips, turned and went back to the house, and heard footsteps coming in behind me.

"You're home alone." He was looking for something to say, and I responded dully and walked into the kitchen.Then Zhou Yu, who followed in, sniffed hard, and asked in amazement, "What are you cooking? It smells so good?"

"Look for yourself." Throwing him three words, I walked into the stove to add fire.

Zhou Yu lifted the lid of the big pot, "Instant noodles?"

Waiting for him to comment on the lack of nutrition, but I heard him say: "My favorite, how many packs did you burn? Just one pack? That's not enough, do you have any at home? Then go in with the next pack. , beat two eggs, add two ham sausages, it's delicious in the world!"

Seeing that I was sitting in the stove, he started to do it himself, and dug out the instant noodles and eggs in the cupboard familiarly. There was no ham sausage at home.After a while, two bowls of instant noodles were cooked, one egg per person.

In the quiet space, I heard the sound of the two sucking noodles, and the hot soup rolled down their throats, sweating all over.

When they put down the bowl, the two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing, the previous unhappiness was settled.

At this time, I was still ignorant of feelings, and I really realized it was in the first semester of high school, Zhou Yu's third year of high school.

Because Zhou Yu is about to take the college entrance examination this semester, there is very little time to come out, but that day is not a weekend, but he came to my school.They represented their school's basketball team to compete with our school's third-year boys. It is said that it was a relaxation before the college entrance examination.

I saw him right away from the stands, not because he was tall, but because he was the most eye-catching among the boys with pimples on their faces.Zhuang Li, who is at the same table, also knows him. He introduced him to Zhuang Li when he came to see me on weekends——the neighbor’s child, whom Zhuang Li called "the brother next door".

As soon as the game started, Zhuang Li pushed me and said, "Your brother next door looks really good."

Although it was not me who praised it, I felt that my face was full of light.

There is no doubt that Zhou Yu is very good, he is the core of their team, almost all the balls are thrown to him, and he also scores the most points, the cheers in the stands are getting louder and louder.About to enter the intermission, Zhuang Li came to push me again: "Hey, don't you send a bottle of water to your brother next door." When I came here, I bought water, but I didn't expect this, so I was reminded by Zhuang Li Looking at Zhou Yu who was sweating profusely, he was eager to try.

When the whistle blew, I was about to take the water and run down, but just as I stepped out, I saw a slender figure running out from the front row, with long hair and shawls, a white jacket, a blue short skirt and stockings, and she ran directly to Zhou Yu. He handed him the water and wiped his sweat with a paper towel.

Zhuang Li was asking next to her ear, "Hey, Xiao Ruzi, who is that girl? Why are you so close to your brother next door?"

Her name is Wei Lai.

I answered silently in my heart.

I didn’t watch the whole game of basketball that day, and I left the basketball court alone. It is said that Zhou Yu’s team won. It is said that a long-haired girl hung up the medals for him. It is said...

These "rumours" were all told by Zhuang Li when she came back and patted me on the shoulder to comfort me: Xiao Ruzi, don't be sad.

I was thinking in my heart-what am I so sad about?
In the evening Zhou Yu called and asked: Why didn't I see you during the game?
I was silent for a while, and answered: I have to do my homework, and I don't have time to read it.

Is homework more important than me?

He angrily dropped a word and hung up the phone.

I suffered from insomnia that night, and the scenes on the basketball court kept circling in my mind.From Zhou Yu's high-spirited goal, to the cheers of the audience, to the scene where the girl stepped forward to wipe his sweat.

When I closed my eyes at dawn, there was a voice in my heart that said quietly - you fell in love with him.

A few days later, as soon as I returned to the dormitory for evening self-study, Zhuang Li told me that the "brother next door" called, and my heart skipped a beat.His face was still tense and he walked over pretending not to care, but his eyes couldn't help but wander to the phone on the table.

After a long time, I didn't hear the phone ring again, and I was very anxious.

Zhuang Li couldn't help but said when I bumped into the table several times and made strange noises: "Xiao Ruzi, if you want to call your brother next door, you can do it quickly. Why do you keep making noise?"

I replied in embarrassment: Who is going to call him back?

As soon as the voice finished speaking, I heard the loud ringing, and I stared at the phone immediately.

Zhuang Li joked with a smile: Cao Cao Cao Cao is here, this time you pick it up yourself.

I was a little embarrassed, I wanted to answer it but I didn't want to answer it. Finally, the bell rang seven or eight times and then suddenly quieted down.I couldn't help feeling disappointed, but the ringtone rang again after only two or three seconds, and this time I answered it.

"Hello? Is Jia Ru back?"

Zhou Yu's tone sounded aggressive, so I replied softly, "I'm back."

"Ha, Jia Xiaoru." He yelled angrily, and then asked, "Why didn't you call me back?"

He found a random reason: "I just came back from self-study last night."

"Tomorrow I will rest, are you coming out?"

"what?"

He was annoyed again: "What are you doing? It's rare that I can take a day off, and I still shirk when I ask you to come out."

"Where did I shirk? I just asked you what your arrangements are when you go out."

"Of course I listened to my arrangement. I will wait for you at the back gate of your school at ten o'clock tomorrow morning. Don't forget."

I didn't expect Zhou Yu to take me to his class reunion the next day.

In a self-service tea bar, in the name of a dinner before the college entrance examination, the organizer is Wei Lai.

This is Zhou Yu's classmate circle. I don't know anyone except Qian Xiaobao and Wu Mi.And Zhou Yu is a romantic figure in their class. As soon as he sat down, he was dragged away by some boys, and I was left to sit awkwardly and drink milk tea.

When the milk tea bottomed out, he heard a strange movement behind him, and turned his head subconsciously, unable to help being stunned.

I saw Zhou Yu standing in an empty space with a guitar on his shoulders.

Next to him is Wu Mi, who is adjusting the electronic organ, and standing in the middle is Wei Lai, holding a microphone in her hand.

She said: For the college entrance examination, I will present a song "Our Love" to everyone.

I hadn't heard this song before, but I thought Wei Lai standing between Zhou Yu and Wu Mi was particularly dazzling, especially when she looked back and smiled at Zhou Yu, her brows and eyes were full of spring breeze.

After a song was sung, many people were whistling and shouting "together", "together" and "together".

I suddenly felt that it was too much for me to sit here, why did I follow?

Zhou Yu snatched the microphone from Wei Lai, raised both hands, "Quiet, listen to me."

When the uproar gradually subsided, his eyes suddenly turned to me, and his heart suddenly beat restlessly, and he vaguely felt that what he was going to say next had something to do with me.

"Next, I want to quietly sing a song for someone, the song is called "The First Time"."

There was another commotion from below: "Is it sung to Wei Lai?"

Wei Lai, who was still standing beside her, had a shy look on her face, but Zhou Yu denied it, "It's not Wei Lai."

Suddenly Qian Xiaobao's loud voice came from behind me: "I know, it was sung to Jia Xiaoru."

My face flushed red all the way to my ears.

But this time, Zhou Yu did not deny it.

The guitar sounded, and the warm voice floated in the tea bar——

the first time i said i love you

breathing hard heart trembling
The first time I hold your hands
Lost direction and don't know where to go

That's why we fell in love together
That's staying together

……

At the party that day, Zhou Yu sang many songs, from "Jiangnan" to "Who Will You Think of When You Are Lonely", from "Rain in June" to "That Night", and finally I only remembered one song—— -"the first time".

On the way back, the two of us were walking side by side, but suddenly Zhou Yu took my hand, and found that his palm was also sweaty like mine. "Did you hear the song I sang just now?"

I hummed.

"Do you understand what I mean?"

Seeing that I was silent, he stopped and turned around, wrapped his other hand around my shoulders so that I faced him, his gaze stayed on my face, "Tell me, do you understand what I mean?"

I avoided his gaze with flickering eyes and nodded.

All of a sudden, my eyes went dark, and something soft brushed across my cheeks. When I realized it, Zhou Yu was already beaming with a smirk on his lips, like a sneaky cat.At that time, my whole body was numb and my face was hot until I went back to school.

After that, the relationship between the two of them seemed to be the same as before. We didn’t see each other much, and we often talked on the phone. I knew everything about him except about my father.But the feeling is different, I will be very happy when I receive his call, and I can't help calling him if I haven't called him for a long time.Zhuang Li joked that this is the magic of love.

The night before the college entrance examination, Zhou Yu came to the school to find me.

It was almost nine o'clock at that time, and when I arrived at the school gate, he dragged me to the streetlight a short distance away from the school gate. It seemed that I was thinking about it before I said, "Tomorrow I will take the college entrance examination."

"Then why don't you study more at home and come to me?"

He frowned, "Why? Don't you like me?"

"No."

He laughed again: "So you like me?"

Hearing that he intentionally left out a word in the middle, he didn't blush shyly anymore, but looked away a little embarrassedly.

He suddenly moved his face closer, his forehead almost touched me, and said softly, "I'm going to take the college entrance examination tomorrow, won't you cheer me up?" I didn't understand what he meant, I felt strange but it went smoothly. Said: "I wish you success in the college entrance examination."

He shook his head: "It's too official, there is no actual action."

"What shall we do then?"

"kiss Me."

"..."

# # #
Why did you marry Zhou Yu?
The answer to this question, I might say in a self-deceiving way, is that it's a matter of impulse.

But you can't lie to your heart.

Because of love.

In the summer of 07, the day before Zhou Yu's college entrance examination, he kissed me.

The situation at that time was originally that I was forced by him to have no choice but to look left and right to see if there was no one, and I stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the face.Just as I was about to take a step back, unexpectedly, he suddenly put his arms around my waist, and his lips dropped without warning.

My mind went blank in an instant, and I felt that Zhou Yu was nibbling into my lips bit by bit, covering the jerky tossing, my front teeth were hit by him, I felt that my heartbeat was not my own, and I couldn't even breathe.

Afterwards, only vague impressions remain——

sweet.

If love is pure, I am willing to give, year after year, day after day.

The fragrance of spring, the heat of summer, the fallen leaves of autumn, and the snow of winter can all testify to me.
