Chapter 55 Song Boxuan
Han Yu stayed up all night
Spinning around like a top in the rental house of a few square meters.
Finally, when the morning sun shone into the living room, he couldn't help but slap his head and strode out the door with determination.
When Han Yu came in, Song Boxuan had just woken up with a hangover. The bloodshot eyes showed how long it had been since he had a good rest. He sat up with his eyes shaky and looked confused. "Xiaoyu?"
"What's up?"
"Brother Xuan..."
The moment he saw his teammates, the words Han Yu had composed at home disappeared from his mind. He seemed to be in self-torture. It was clearly none of his business, but he was so anxious that he pinched his thigh.
"Speak frankly"
Song Boxuan suppressed the nausea, kicked the beer bottle at his feet away, put on the clothes he hadn't had time to take off last night, staggered over and got a glass of ice water to rinse his mouth.
"You've been drinking too much lately. Is something wrong? Tell me about it, and I'll give you some advice."
"What can I do?"
Song Boxuan gave a barely perceptible wry smile, "Even if there is, you still can't help me."
Han Yu frantically stroked his hair, "I wanted to say..." He stared at the empty bottles on the floor, clenching his jaw and forcing himself to speak, "You were drunk last night, and I overheard..."
“…”
Song Boxuan stopped what he was doing and looked at Han Yu's calm expression. "What did you hear?"
"Are you... are you...?"
Han Yu blurted out, "I admit that the boss lady is beautiful and kind-hearted, and there's nothing wrong with her. It wouldn't be strange for anyone to fall in love with her, but, but she's married."
"I don't know when you developed feelings for her, but you have to control yourself! Brother Xuan, this is not right."
"Putting aside the fact that she's married, considering the boss is our benefactor, this won't do. You, you're being ungrateful."
"Oh, so ungrateful..."
It would be fine if he kept it in his heart, but after his teammates tore it out, they just blamed him.
Song Boxuan tilted his head and raised his eyes, but unfortunately he failed to hold back the tears in his eye sockets. They slid down the tip of his nose and hit the ground with a "pa" sound, which sounded very much like the sound of his broken heart.
He took several breaths with difficulty, but still couldn't speak, "I..."
"Su Yunci," just by mentioning her name, Song Boxuan's heart felt like it was clenched tightly, and his whole body twitched in pain with every breath.
Han Yu's eyes were filled with confusion. They had only met the boss for a little over a month. Even if Brother Xuan fell in love with the boss's wife at first sight, would he feel so heartbroken?
"I'm not, I'm not the third party who stole his wife"
Song Boxuan collapsed and sat down. His festering wound was exposed, and he was unable to bear the heart-wrenching pain.
"I just didn't expect fate to play such a trick on me..."
Han Yu's thoughts finally opened up after hearing his friend's unusual response. "Brother Xuan, did you and Su Yunci know each other before?"
"The girl I followed for twelve years, before I was qualified to stand in front of her, she had already... I didn't know it at the moment..."
Song Boxuan lowered his head, and the loss and loneliness that he had been suppressing for more than a month was finally released.
"When I saw Yunci and Puye appear hand in hand, I thought it was a desperate move for her to get rid of her parents."
"So, I think I'll find an opportunity..."
As he spoke, Song Boxuan's eyes were blurred by tears. For a moment, he felt helpless and lost like a blind man.
Han Yu finished the second half of his friend's sentence, "So, you want to find an opportunity to confess your feelings to Su Yunci and tell her about your feelings for her over the years. Perhaps, you can replace her husband who is not worthy of his name."
"What's the result?"
“As a result… I can’t find any reason why Yunci was so repulsive or polite to him.”
Song Boxuan's head hit the wall, and his dry and pale lips were bitten. If you looked closer, you could see the blood on his lips. Now he looked like a homeless stray dog.
"Aside from her only friend Dong Xin, I've never seen her get close to anyone else."
"That night, she leaned on Pu Ye's shoulder. I stared at her face. There was not a single bit of reluctance or reluctance..."
Han Yu felt as suffocated as his friend. "Why is this happening? In the past twelve years, you haven't once asked her..."
Song Boxuan was stunned. "Twelve years ago, I was twelve years old. I didn't know whether I was in love with her for the first time, or whether I was grateful to her for comforting a fat boy without a father or mother."
"I figured it out when I was sixteen, but she was admitted to a key high school and I didn't have the money to pay for the tuition."
"I had no other choice but to take a year off from school and work as a bricklayer on a construction site. Because I wasn't old enough, the boss wouldn't pay me the same salary as others. Eventually, I managed to save enough money to go to school, but she was a grade ahead of me."
Being a grade below her meant that in order to see her, he had to rush across most of the school during the ten-minute break...
"Didn't she recognize you?"
Han Yu sat down beside him and said, "You will have a chance to talk it over with her, right?"
"From the age of twelve to sixteen, I lost a full thirty kilograms in four years. When she first met me, I was still a fat kid covered in dirt and whose features were barely recognizable."
"At that time, there were always boys confessing their love to her and sending her love letters. I wanted to do the same, but one day I saw Yunci's mother tear up the love letter and throw it in front of the boy."
"Then, at a deserted corner, Su Ma slapped Yun Ci in frustration..."
Han Yu was stunned, his eyes wide open, he couldn't imagine that the gentle proprietress had such a mother.
"I'm not afraid of Su Ma throwing love letters at my face and calling me an ignorant bastard. I just don't dare to let Ci get beaten for a little passerby she can't even remember."
Afterwards, he pretended to be a bully. If anyone secretly sent a love letter to Yunci, he would snatch the letter away and warn them not to bother Su Yunci again, regardless of whether the person was taller or stronger than him.
During that period, he was famous in the school, and many people knew that there was a gangster in the second grade who was acting as a protector for a senior girl in the third grade.
He originally thought that Su Yunci might get to know him through this, but she went to participate in intensive training in the last stage of her senior year, and he could not find any information about Yunci until the college entrance examination.
Afterwards, he mustered up the courage to find Yunci's parents and simply said that he was her classmate and wanted to meet her to reminisce about the past.
However, Su Ma saw through his thoughts at a glance...
"How dare you chase after my daughter? Let me tell you, Yunci is going to be a pianist in the future. What kind of a minion are you?"
"She went abroad and attended one of the best universities in the world!"
“…”
Song Boxuan said nothing more and turned and left.
The following year, he was admitted to a key university in China. During his four years in college, he earned money in his spare time, but he still had no money to hire a teacher to teach him how to play a musical instrument. He had no choice but to buy books and teach himself how to play the instrument.
He had a very good imagination. He learned to play a musical instrument and then became a star singer, with people calling out Su Yunci's name in every corner of the world.
In his junior year, he met these teammates and they formed a band.
He was the one who came up with the name "Wandering Band" because without Su Yunci, he was just wandering wherever he went...
——
——
Twelve-year-old Song Boxuan was crying on the side of the road, wearing tattered clothes and with a dirty face, dragging his fat body.
"Why are you crying?"
Twelve-year-old Su Yunci finished his piano lesson and waited for his mother to pick him up.
"My parents are divorced and no one wants me. Only my grandparents are willing to raise me."
"So, does that mean no one cares about you watching TV and eating candy?"
"ah?"
Song Boxuan sniffed his dirty nose and said, "Yeah, and no one beats me anymore. My dad only beats me when he gets drunk."
Su Yunci smiled more beautifully than a fairy. "Isn't this good? Not only will I not be beaten, but I can also go wherever I want to play. I have a father and a mother, but I don't have freedom."
"So, you are no more pitiful than me, you are equally happy."
“…”
She seems to be right.
Song Boxuan wiped his tears, but the black dirt covered his face and he looked unrecognizable.
Before he had time to speak, Su Ma arrived.
Su Yunci stretched his hands behind his back and waved goodbye to him.
Even from a distance away, Song Boxuan could still hear Su Ma's gnashing of teeth, "You only came in third in this competition! Su Yunci, am I being too indulgent with you?"
"You've wasted my money and energy. If you can't get first place next time, you'll just have to sleep outside!"
