parting
Chen Tian and Wen Yu simply shook hands, as if they had just gotten acquainted. He didn't look at Wen Yu again, but just said to Chen Xing, "Okay, I've sent you off. It's time for me to go."
As Chen Tian and Chen Xing were saying goodbye, Chen Xing's originally happy heart suddenly became gloomy.
She thought she could face separations easily, but when separation really came, she found that she was not prepared at all.
Chen Xing was too afraid of every separation, even though he knew they would not see each other again.
There was reluctance in Chen Xing's eyes. He was about to part with Chen Tian and didn't know when they would meet again.
Suddenly, scenes of her and Chen Tian's time together flashed before her eyes, from the chance encounter that night to watching the sunrise together now.
It was clearly a very long time, but it flashed by before my eyes. It turns out that time passes so quickly and waits for no one.
Chen Xing suddenly took Chen Tian's hand and said, "Brother, when will we meet again?"
When Chen Xing and Chen Tian parted ways in the past, they never asked this question, because they knew it wouldn't last too long without asking.
But this time, they all felt something was different. Maybe it was because they knew that Chen Xing had broken up with those relatives and would never return to the countryside, or maybe it was because Chen Xing was about to take the college entrance examination and had his own life, so Chen Tian had fewer opportunities to participate.
So they don’t know if there will be a next time, and they don’t know if this will be the last time they can be together.
Chen Tian tried hard to force a smile. He was more reluctant than Chen Xing, but at this time, he should comfort Chen Xing's uneasy heart.
Chen Tian gently patted Chen Xing's hand and said in a rare gentle tone: "Chen Xing, we will meet again. Believe me."
Chen Tian's words undoubtedly gave Chen Xing a reassurance that everything Chen Tian said to Chen Xing counted.
Chen Xing believed in Chen Tian. With his words, she knew that they would see each other again in the future, even if she couldn't go back.
Chen Xing finally smiled, "Well, I believe you."
Chen Tian and Chen Xing smiled at each other, and this smile was a blend of their deep family affection. They were each other's most important family.
Chen Tian didn't know why, but his eyes started to feel a little sore and his heart felt uneasy. What was he afraid of?
Chen Tian sniffed, gently pinched Chen Xing's soft cheek, and said, "Chen Xing, I'm leaving."
Chen Xing's eyes were filled with tears, and she reluctantly let go of his hand. The warmth from Chen Tian's palm gradually flowed away from her palm. The cold wind blew, and Chen Xing, who was not afraid of the cold, couldn't help but shiver.
Chen Xing watched Chen Tian turn around and face her with his back. Chen Xing said, "Goodbye, brother."
Don’t forget to think of me. Chen Xing never said the second half of the sentence, as if there would be no future if he said it.
After hearing what Chen Xing said, Chen Tian calmed himself down, blinked his eyes, and then put his hands in his pockets.
Finally, I left a word, "Goodbye."
Chen Xing walked down the slope without looking back, not because he was afraid that Chen Xing would be reluctant to leave, but because he was afraid that he himself did not want to leave.
Chen Tian walked with his head down. When Chen Xing couldn't see him, two tears fell on the road illuminated by the sun behind him, leaving the only trace of his presence, which would disappear one day.
Chen Xing just watched Chen Tian's back disappear in front of her. Wen Yu was accompanying him. He knew too well the taste of separation and had experienced such scenes countless times, but there was no future. The person he wanted to see had already left forever.
Chen Xing finally understood what it felt like to watch someone's back gradually disappear from his sight. It turned out to be so painful.
When I was a child, I didn’t understand. I always thought that once someone left, they were gone, and we would never see each other again. I even treated separation as a joke.
There are some people you really don't want to see again. You watch them leave without feeling anything, your heart is as still as water, without any ripples.
But there are some people who never want to say goodbye, but they have to go through a brief encounter and then face a long separation.
It’s not that I can’t accept it, but I’m worried and afraid that there will be no future because they have all grown up.
Wen Yu suddenly said, "If you want to cry, just cry. Even the strongest people can be vulnerable sometimes."
Chen Xing secretly wiped his eyes behind Wen Yu's back and pretended to be strong, "I didn't want to cry, I just forgot to give my brother a hug."
“If I don’t hug you when we say goodbye, I’ll always feel regretful.”
Wen Yu said, "Then next time you meet, make it up to him and give him a big hug."
Chen Xing was amused by the exaggerated way Wen Yu opened his arms.
"If that happens, my brother will definitely say I'm being hypocritical."
No one could tell her exactly when the next time would be. She only had endless anticipation and waiting, hoping to see them soon, and waiting for the next hug that would not be forgotten after they parted.
Wen Yu said: "I don't think he will. Your brother seems to care about you very much. He can accept you no matter what you are like."
Wen Yu said this with such confidence that Chen Xing rolled his eyes and said, "You and my brother haven't said anything, so why do you think he will tolerate everything about me?"
Wen Yu smiled. Although it was the first time he met Chen Tian, he could tell at a glance how much Chen Tian cared about Chen Xing.
This may be men's intuition. They see at a deeper level, especially when they have the same person in their eyes and hearts, they will have a special tacit understanding.
Wen Yu said: "Because looking at him is like looking at myself."
Wen Yu suddenly said something that Chen Xing couldn't understand. Maybe Wen Yu didn't want Chen Xing to understand at this time.
Chen Xing asked, "How come it's become harder and harder to understand you since we last met?"
Wen Yu smiled lightly and said, "You'll understand later."
Chen Xing became even more curious when he heard this. "Why later? Why not now?"
Wen Yu looked at Chen Xing as if he wanted to know the answer, but he still didn't tell her.
Wen Yu said, "Because now is not the best time. Do you know that the secret of heaven cannot be revealed?"
Chen Xing nodded and said, "What does this have to do with it?"
Wen Yu added, "It's not that we can't leak it, but everything is arranged in advance. If you insist on snooping in advance, the result will be completely different."
Chen Xing listened to Wen Yu talking about the big principles. She looked at his serious expression and felt like laughing.
Chen Xing said, "Okay, okay, whatever you say is right. I'm not the one who's holding it in my heart anyway, so I won't feel bad. If I don't know, then I don't know. Maybe I won't want to hear it in the future."
Wen Yu listened to what Chen Xing said and felt that what he said made more sense than what he said. For people who have something hidden in their hearts, the most painful time is when they cannot speak it out.
Is Wen Yu asking for trouble?
Wen Yu sighed helplessly and said, "Well, in order not to change the best outcome, I can only hold it in."
"But in the future, you will want to know."
Wen Yu could not predict the future, but he could still control the current situation. At least everything was still on track and there was no deviation, so it would not be the worst outcome.
Chen Xing didn't know where Wen Yu got his confidence from. He seemed to be confident about everything.
After standing outside for so long, Chen Xing and Wen Yu were about to go into the house when suddenly someone called them from a distance.
Chen Xing turned around and saw that it was Shi Nannan. He ran over excitedly to greet her.
The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, and as soon as they met, they hugged each other and spun around. The friendship between girls will never be shy at any time. They can express their joy of meeting each other openly without caring about other people's opinions.
Shi Nannan said, "Xingxing, I miss you so much. Let me see, have you lost weight or gained weight?"
Shi Nannan looked Chen Xing up and down, and her smiling face suddenly frowned.
Shi Nannan: "Why are you still thinner?"
Chen Xing said, "How could that be? Maybe she's not wearing enough. We haven't seen each other for just over ten days. What can you tell?"
During the time Chen Xing was in the countryside, he really didn't eat well, mainly because he had to face people he hated every day, so how could he possibly eat?
Shi Nannan's eyes suddenly flicked downwards, and when she saw Chen Xing's hand wrapped in gauze, she asked with a worried look on her face, "Xingxing, why is your hand wrapped in gauze? There's blood!"
Chen Xing almost forgot about the wound on her hand. Chen Tian had bandaged it so messily that it was now torn and the gauze stained with dried blood was leaking out.
Chen Xing put her hands behind her back so that Shi Nannan wouldn't touch them, and as a result, she ignored Wen Yu behind her.
When Wen Yu heard Shi Nannan's words, his eyes were always on Chen Xing's hand. Just when Chen Xing turned his hands behind his back, he naturally held Chen Xing's injured hand in his palm.
Wen Yu saw at a glance that the gauze on Chen Xing's palm was stained with blood, and his eyes turned red.
Chen Xing tried to pull her hand back, but Wen Yu grabbed her other uninjured hand.
Chen Xing was being pulled by Wen Yu and she couldn't break free. She didn't know why Wen Yu suddenly became so strong.
Chen Xing asked, "Wen Yu, what are you doing?"
Wen Yu was very clear that his strength was not enough to hurt Chen Xing, and he knew his limits.
Wen Yu took Chen Xing into the house and said, "What else can I do? Rebandage you, of course."
Chen Xing was brought to the living room by Wen Yu, who then brought a medicine box.
Chen Xing was stunned and sat on the sofa with the help of Wen Yu.
While Chen Xing was still in a daze, Wen Yu had already knelt on one knee and placed her injured hand on his knee.
Wen Yu carefully removed the gauze wrapped around Chen Xing's hand and saw the scabbed wound. Although it was not long, judging from the bloodstains seeping through the gauze, it must be very deep.
Wen Yu wiped the blood with a distressed look on his face, and suddenly asked, "Does it hurt?"
When Chen Xing heard Wen Yu's trembling voice asking her, she smiled indifferently and said, "It doesn't hurt. I'm not that fragile. I'll be fine in a few days."
When Wen Yu heard Chen Xing's nonchalant tone, his heart ached even more.
Wen Yu didn't know how Chen Xing got the injury on her hand, but based on his observation, he guessed that she did it herself.
Wen Yu didn't try to test the waters and asked directly, "Why did you hurt yourself?"
When Chen Xing heard Wen Yu ask her so confidently, she was stunned for a moment.
Chen Xing asked, "How do you know?"
Although Wen Yu was talking to Chen Xing while applying medicine to her, his movements were extremely gentle. Chen Xing didn't even feel the stinging pain from the ointment soaking into her wound. She just felt a slight coolness blowing across her palm.
