Chapter 198
The clock showed that it was only a little after three in the morning. Jiang Qiao fell asleep again in a daze.
Where no one could see, the blue everlasting flower lit up again.
The next day, the two moved some things from the small house into the car. Most of them were useless, but Jiang Qiao still wanted to keep them as a souvenir.
After all, there would be nothing left after the demolition, and Jiang Qiao was reluctant to leave.
When getting on the bus, Jiang Qiao subconsciously turned his head to look at the alley, and the sound of a bicycle bell seemed to ring in his ears.
Young Lu Xun rode a bicycle from a distance. The wind blew his clothes up, his short black hair slightly lifted, his eyebrows were clear and his beautiful lips slightly raised: "Jiang Xiaoqiao."
"Jiang Xiaoqiao." A more mature male voice sounded clearly beside my ears, overlapping with the indifferent voice of the boy through the layers of time: "Let's go."
Jiang Qiao blinked, and the alley in front of him was empty. The young man disappeared, leaving only an old, rusty bicycle by the wall.
She suddenly felt an inexplicable emptiness in her heart, and this feeling came unexpectedly.
Revisiting the old place is like carving a boat to look for the sword. Only that year was better than every year. She thought that she missed the young Lu Xun.
However, she and Lu Xun will have many more "those years".
You can miss her, but there’s no need to have too many regrets, otherwise, Lu Xun would be unhappy now.
Jiang Qiao took a deep breath and prepared to get in the car, but out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of a figure running towards him. His blue hair was particularly eye-catching. It was Zhao Kai.
She frowned, her eyes full of vigilance. Just as she was about to say something, her fingers were gently pinched. Lu Xun kissed her fingers soothingly: "You get in the car first."
Jiang Qiao didn't want to, but was afraid of getting in the way, so he got in the car reluctantly and said in a muffled voice, "Hurry up, I want to go home."
"Yes." Lu Xun agreed in a gentle tone, closed the car door, and turned around, the gentleness on his face faded.
Zhao Kai ran over in a hurry, with sweat on his face. He stopped a few steps away from Lu Xun but didn't say anything.
Lu Xun didn’t want to waste time, so he said in a cold tone: “I made it very clear yesterday, is there anything else?”
Zhao Kai originally wanted to talk to him in a nice way, but when he met the man's cold and unfamiliar eyes, he suddenly became angry again: "Lu Xun, why have you become so heartless?!"
"You obviously don't need that little money, why... do this!"
Zhao Kai simply couldn't understand how people could be so heartless. After all, his mother was Lu Xun's biological aunt and had raised Lu Xun.
"I just punched you once. Do you think it can really offset the one year I lived in my house?!" Zhao Kai said excitedly, "Without my house, you would have died long ago. How could you have achieved what you have today?"
Young people in their twenties, unable to conceal the anger and sadness in their eyes, cynically speaking what they believe to be the truth.
Lu Xun's eyes flashed with a hint of sarcasm: "Why do you think your parents took me home back then?"
"What?" Zhao Kai was still accusing him. When he heard him ask this, he looked a little confused, but he quickly realized what was happening and became even angrier: "Of course you were too young at the time. We are all relatives. My family adopted you out of kindness, but you still don't remember!"
The mockery in Lu Xun's eyes intensified, as if he was looking at a stranger. He said calmly, "Go ask your parents how your house came from."
The vested interests are always clamoring and naively accusing others, thinking that they are the most innocent in the world.
Lu Xun's voice was very calm, almost without any emotion, but Zhao Kai stood there in a daze. It was not until the black car drove away that he took out his phone tremblingly.
Inside the car, Jiang Qiao looked through the rearview mirror and saw Zhao Kai's pale and unbelievable face. He looked away in disdain and asked in confusion, "What did he say to you?"
"Nothing." Lu Xun looked straight ahead and said in a natural tone, "It's still about the demolition payment."
"That's it?" Jiang Qiao didn't believe it, but Lu Xun obviously didn't want to say more, so she didn't ask any more questions.
Everyone has things they don't want to talk about. There's no need to dig into the details. Jiang Qiao thought so, and after two minutes, he couldn't help but ask, "No, what did you say to him?"
How could Zhao Kai be scared like that?
Lu Xun sighed. Knowing that she would not give up until she got the answer, he could only speak briefly.
"So, his family adopted you for the compensation money from your parents, and his house was bought with your family's money?"
"Um."
“……………………”
There was silence in the car for a few seconds, and Lu Xun took the initiative to speak, his tone somewhat helpless: "Jiang Qiao, don't cry."
I don't know when, the girl's eyes turned red, she lowered her head to hide her tears, but her tears fell drop by drop on her pants.
Lu Xun had anticipated the scene before him, which was why he didn't want Jiang Qiao to know. He knew that Jiang Qiao would be sad.
It had been a long time since the incident happened, and he actually didn't care about it anymore.
When he was young, for a long time, he hated many people, including his parents, for why they had to go out to work that day.
I also hate Lu Xiaoyan, who played the role of a good aunt with tenderness but was soon exposed.
He didn't understand. Lu Xiaoyan had been very nice to him at the beginning.
But why did it change later?
Later, Lu Xun figured it out. Human hearts are actually like this. The good feelings generated by guilt are inherently distorted and of course cannot last for a long time.
However, Jiang Qiao obviously couldn't accept it. All she could think of was the young Lu Xun being tricked into giving up everything and coming to a new home. He thought this would be his home in the future, but it was just a complete family scam.
There was no room for him in the house that his parents bought with the compensation money...
Jiang Qiao cried for a long time and didn't even notice the car stopped.
After the corner of her eye was kissed, she slowly raised her head. Through her tearful eyes, only Lu Xun's face was clear.
“Jiang Qiao… don’t be sad.” Lu Xun’s voice was very soft, helpless but also distressed. He wiped away her tears gently and slowly: “It’s over.”
Is it over? Of course it is over, but the suffering is real and will not disappear with the passage of time.
Jiang Qiao cried even harder, tears streaming down her cheeks. She gritted her teeth and said, "Lu Xun, why were you so stupid when you were a kid?"
This was an unreasonable accusation, but Lu Xun was not angry. Instead, he smiled and agreed softly, "Yeah, I'm stupid."
"It would be great if Jiang Qiao showed up earlier..." His handsome features softened and his tone was gentle.
Jiang Qiao cried even harder, as she was also a contributor to Lu Xun's painful journey.
She had no right to blame others, because she herself had not played any good role in Lu Xun's difficult youth.
"I wasn't a good person before..." Jiang Qiao said while holding back his sobs.
Lu Xun was silent for a while, then he sighed softly and said, "Do you want to know what I think?"
I feel a little sad, really, thinking about how Mr. Lu was sad when he was a child.
