Jia Ru can come back

Chapter 69 A Restless Christmas Eve (3)

Witnessing the moment my dad fell from a high altitude, my heartbeat almost stopped.

The noise and exclamation around me couldn't get past my ears, I just stared wide-eyed but couldn't see anything.After recovering from the numbness, I realized that I was going to run backstage, but after running two steps, I fell into a big somersault, and my front teeth were bleeding.

When I approached the backstage, I was blocked by the staff, and I could only see the lonely back of my father sitting there from a long distance. Discussing the accident loudly without any scruples.

These many voices became the sharpest knife, passing through my side and pointing at Dad.

At this time, if I ignored the criticism of the crowd and the obstruction of the staff, and rushed in and hugged Dad's shoulder to comfort...would there be no tragedy later?

"Jia Xiaoru, don't cry." The deep voice in my ear brought me back to reality, only to realize that I was hugged by Zhou Yu at some point, with my head resting on his chest.I wanted to break free from his arms, but he held him too tightly, and I was weak all over.

His fingers came to wipe my face, only to realize that there were two lines of tears flowing out unstoppably.

"Let's not think about the past, okay? If Dad is watching from below, he certainly doesn't want you to be sad."

Hearing Zhou Yu's persuasion in my ear, I was suddenly overwhelmed with grief: "If he's not down there, he won't be able to see me at all." Across the gap between life and death, it is impossible for me and my father to meet again for the rest of our lives .

He only lives in the past, in my memory, kneeling in front of his grave today, why don't I think about the past?

Zhou Yu hugged me even tighter and wrapped his coat around me, "Cry, cry hard."

Four years, time flies, everyone is calming down the pain, from excitement to calm.And except for that day, I behaved calmly every day after that, neither crying bitterly nor causing sadness, but Zhou Yu said something very right.

I have always lived in the shadow of my father.

From great sorrow to peace, it is just a process of crying bitterly.It is said that tears are the best way to vent, but not all pain can be replaced by tears.It's just to vent emotions for a while, but it can't heal the rotten holes that have already rotted.

In the end, I lifted my head from Zhou Yu's arms with sobs, and stared at the scarlet letter on the tombstone for a long time before saying in a low voice that couldn't be lowered, "It's time to go back."

Zhou Yu thought I was talking to him, so he hummed lightly.But actually, I told my dad.

It's time to go back. It may be a long time after I come this time, or I may not come again.

Organize the items in the black wooden box again, and close it carefully.When he was about to get up, he saw the people around him bow their heads to the ground suddenly and made a slight noise. After three times in a row, he straightened up and said sincerely to the photo of his father on the tombstone: "Dad, Xiaoru and I Married. Don't worry, I will be responsible for Jia Xiaoru's happiness from now on."

The corner of my mouth was half raised. If I heard him say this in normal times, I might laugh it off, but at that moment, when the lily in the trash can not far away was like a thorn in my heart, I just thought it was ironic.

Without waiting for him, he picked up the wooden box and walked down the mountain.

When passing the trash can, he kicked with his feet, kicking the flower buds that fell on the ground away.

The cemetery guard at the gate of the mountain poked his head out of the guard room to look at us, then shrank back.It's not to blame the other party for being indifferent, it's just that you get used to it when you see too much grief.

Walking to the side of the car, I stretched out my hand without looking back: "Give me the key."

Zhou Yu approached and denied my request: "Let me drive."

I put the wooden box on the car cover heavily, turned around, "The car is mine, give me the car keys!"

His black eyes sank, and he took out the key from his trouser pocket.

I grabbed the lock and put the wooden box into the back seat, then sat in the driver's seat.Looking sideways at the figure who was throwing rubbish by the side of the road, he turned the key to start the car, stepped on the accelerator, and the car roared away.

After driving for 10 minutes, there was a text message on the phone——

Jia Xiaoru, why are you angry with me?

I snorted coldly, turned the steering wheel to the side of the road, and braked to stop.

Then pick up the phone and reply word by word: Do you think I am losing my temper with you?
——If you don’t lose your temper, why leave me alone?

——Your Director Zhou is still afraid that no one will come to pick you up?Or, give that person a call and they shouldn't be far.

——Jia Xiaoru, you are venting your anger!
I stared at the last two words and let the fire in my stomach keep rising.

I simply admitted it—yes, I was venting my anger!From the first second I saw Wei Lai, I wanted to slap you.

——What is Wei Lai doing with me?
——Zhou Gongjin, you fucking pretended to me, didn't you inform her that she would appear in the cemetery?

This time there was no movement on the phone for a long time, but I couldn't calm down the restlessness in my heart, so I started the car again and turned around to drive back.After only a short distance, he saw a tall figure walking along the side of the road.

He should have seen my car too, and he couldn't really see his expression from a long distance.

I hit the brakes and stood there waiting for him to approach.

When he really got closer and closer, he found that there was no emotion on his face, and his deep black eyes were drooping.Walking all the way to my car window, he knocked on the glass, and when I fell down the window, he leaned slightly and stared at me: "I didn't know she would come here today." I raised my chin, "How dare you say that?" Don't you know she came back to City A?"

He was silent, no doubt acquiescing.

I sneered, tilted my head and looked at him sideways, "You've met her a long time ago." The tone was affirmative, how could it be that Zhou Gongjin was not the first person Wei Lai looked for when he returned to City A?
"Let me get in the car." Zhou Yu asked.

I said: "Why?"

"I'll tell you what happened after I get in the car."

"Ha!" She looked away sarcastically, with serious eyes, "Forget it, Zhou Gongjin, I'm still afraid of getting into a car accident."

With one kick of the accelerator, the car passed by Zhou Yu's side, and the steering wheel turned and turned around tens of meters away, all in one go.Hearing the sound of tire grinding, I thought to myself that I have the potential to drift in a racing car.

When I passed by Zhou Yu again, I kept my eyes on him.

This time, without looking back, I drove the car all the way to the city and found a coffee shop.

When the clerk asked what coffee I would like, I hesitated and ordered a caramel macchiato.After the coffee was served, I couldn't wait to take a sip. It was very hot, but also very sweet. After the sweetness, it was bitter.

In the past, I almost never drank caramel macchiato. I thought it was too sweet, so I had to drink bitter coffee.

But today I want something sweet.

Soon the cup of coffee ran out, and the waiter came over to ask if I wanted a refill. I thought about it, "Have a cappuccino."

But what was waiting to be served was a glass of boiled water.

Raising his head, he saw Zhou Yu standing by the table, and he was the one who brought the glass of boiled water.

I'm not surprised that he can come back from Phoenix Mountain. There are many Didi taxis now, but I am surprised that he will appear here. How did he find this place?

He sat down opposite and said, "I know you want coffee when you're in a bad mood, so I asked the driver to find a few coffee shops along the way, and found your car outside this one. Jia Xiaoru, let's talk."

"What are you talking about, Wei Lai?"

"No," he shook his head, "talk about the knot in your heart."

I lowered my eyes silently, grinning the corners of my lips, "I don't have knots in my heart."

"You have! Otherwise, you wouldn't be so abnormal and lose your temper today."

I couldn't help laughing: "After all, you are still here to talk to her. Zhou Gongjin, I will be abnormal and get so angry, don't you really know it?"

Zhou Yu paused, "It was an accident back then."

"Accident?" I slowly raised my eyes. "My dad has performed countless times on stage. He knows every step and every procedure, even down to every second. Do you think it was an accident?"

Zhou Yu disagreed with me: "Your father's performance itself has a high risk factor. No matter how many times you perform and how accurate your calculations are, there are still extremely high risks. This is why I didn't agree with you learning magic at the beginning. "

"Ridiculous!" I shouted angrily, "The accident you called was clearly caused by the sudden absence of Wei Lai, my dad's assistant, who was replaced by someone who was not familiar with the process. Zhou Gongjin, you touch your conscience Ask yourself, was this an accident?"

Zhou Yu looked at me with gloomy eyes, and he asked, "So that's why you broke up with me?"

My heart was pounded hard, as if I had been hit hard by a heavy hammer. I felt numb for a moment, and then a dull pain spread from inside.

The reason for breaking up...Zhou Gongjin, why don't you think that I could let you go when you were so desperate back then?

I didn't ask this sentence, stood up with my hands on the table, and strode out.

The footsteps followed closely, but the clerk called out: "Sorry, you haven't settled the bill yet."

At the same time, I opened the door and walked out, but I don't know if it was the cold wind blowing into my head or something, I couldn't remember where the car was parked.I looked around at a loss, but couldn't find my car.

From the corner of his eye, the man seemed to be about to come out, he gritted his teeth and ran towards the side of the street.

I ran to the intersection in one breath, and the cars and red lights coming and going seemed to block my way.My eyes turned from the gray sky and clouds above my head to the bare tree branches around me, and finally fell on the never-ending traffic.

It turned out that I had already lost my way.

Thinking that marriage was the way out, I jumped into Zhou Gongjin's long river again without hesitation, but the scars that were riddled with holes have never healed. Once touched, the pain is heart-piercing.
