"Yan Ran, what's the matter?" Xia Mei asked painfully.
Xia Yanran felt that her heart was blocked. The feeling of losing but not having to be blocked had always been hidden in her heart.
It used to be hidden, but at this moment, it was infinitely magnified.
Xia Yanran's father abandoned her mother and her when she was 6 years old. Then, with another woman, formed another family.
Her mother left the house alone and took her to live on the top floor of the tube building.
Eighteen years ago, this tube shaped building was very old. Eighteen years later, the tube shaped building is still there.
When she was a child, her family was poor. She wore clothes that other children didn't want and always ate the last rotten vegetables in the vegetable market. In summer, I can't afford a fan and sweat all over my head. In winter, I can't afford heating and my body is stiff with cold.
When she was at school, she was the last to pay the tuition for each supplementary course. She felt very ashamed.
At the parents' meeting, she never dared to inform her mother. She was afraid that her classmates would laugh at her after her mother appeared.
When she was very young, she vowed that when she grew up, she would make a lot of money and marry a rich man.
She studied hard since childhood. When other children were playing, she was reading. She stayed up late reading while others were sleeping.
All her efforts are just to get a scholarship and alleviate the financial difficulties of her family!
She was successfully admitted to the best high school in Ninghai, where she met a classmate named he Jinyin.
They are classmates. He is as poor as her. No, to be exact, he is poorer than himself.
He is only a single parent family. He has a mother, but he doesn't. He is an orphan.
However, he is obviously just an orphan. He is so poor, but she can always see the spirit of never giving up from him. Even in the dark, he still wants to be the sun, hot and luminous, illuminate himself, and try to illuminate the people around him.
At that time, she was with him, there were so many laughter, she also thought, forever.
He spends less time on his study than himself, but his study is better than himself.
He is good at singing. He once sang "Li Xianglan" to her with a rotten guitar abandoned by others near the lake and under the willow tree.
He is also good at carving. Once on her birthday, he carved a piece of pine and gave it to himself.
He is also good at painting. Once, they went to the seaside of Ninghai. She sat on a stone on the beach. The sea breeze blew her long hair, and the afterglow of the sunset fell on her face. He engraved her back under the sunset forever.
At that time, it was really beautiful.
It's also the happiest time of her life.
However, it won't last long.
Her mother is ill and needs money. She needs tens of thousands of yuan for surgery.
They have no money.
Once again, she understood the importance of money.
At that time, a rich boy was pursuing her.
The rich boy bet with others that he would catch up with her in a week and let her be his girlfriend for a week. Then he gave her tens of thousands of dollars.
Xia Yanran agreed!
So Xia Yanran became the girlfriend of the rich second generation for a week.
Of course, they didn't do anything that week.
The most outrageous one was the day before Christmas when the rich second generation drove and invited her to the bar.
As soon as she got on the co pilot, the rich second generation wanted to kiss her, and she quickly resisted.
She pushed the rich second generation away and got out of the car.
She will always remember that day. On that day, it was raining heavily. When she opened the door, she saw a familiar figure and ran away.
She recognized his back. It was he Jinyin. He saw the scene just now.
In front of her, there is an apple, the apple on Christmas Eve.
However, the apple fell to the ground and was broken. It was stained black by rain and sludge.
She wanted to catch up and explain to him, but instead, she smiled bitterly again.
Explain what? How can he help himself? He can't help himself, he can't help at all!
That's it. Does he really think he's the sun? He thought that he could really shine and heat, illuminate himself and the people around him?
No, he's just an orphan, just a poor man. What is his ability to illuminate himself?
He can't even get enough food and clothing for himself.
He's just a fool! A fool who can't even care about himself!
She picked up the apple silently in the heavy rain.
The rich second generation was angry and drove past her.
The car splashed water, splashing her school uniform wet and dirty.
Since then, he Jinyin hasn't come to her.
And she didn't take the initiative to find any gold and silver.
Later, after graduating from high school, I heard that when he was in the college entrance examination, he didn't participate in the college entrance examination the next day because he saved a little girl from a car accident. Because he failed, he went to a technical school.
When she got to the University, she still paid silent attention to him. I heard that after graduating from the technical school, he returned to Ninghai and became the door-to-door son-in-law of the Jiang family.
And she is more determined to become a rich man and marry a rich man.
After graduation, she returned to Ninghai and met him again.
At that time, she didn't know why. Every time an excellent man pursued her, she wanted to bring it to him and humiliate him.
That will bring her some pleasure!
Xia Yanran now recalled everything, and then remembered everything about Jiang Xue's birthday party today. Her heart was so blocked.
The fireworks in Ninghai were supposed to bloom for her, but they became the of others.
That gorgeous seven color peony flower should have bloomed for her, but it still became someone else's.
Also, there is the envy of all people. It originally belongs to her, but now it has become the envy of others.
"Yan Ran, what's the matter with you today? Why are you crying? Don't cry, don't cry, mom is here, mom, wait, I'll make you braised meat! When you were a child, you liked braised meat best. Do you remember? Once, the braised meat fell on the ground and you were reluctant to throw it away... "Xia Mei told me.
Xia Yanran suddenly thought of that Christmas Eve and the apple that night.
"Mom, I don't want to eat braised meat, I want to eat apples..." Xia Yan choked.
"OK, OK, OK, mom will buy it for you right away." Xia Mei said, then went out of the room and really went to buy apples.
At that time, Xia Yanran was the only one in the narrow room.
She went to the bedroom in silence. In that bedroom, there was a desk more than ten years ago.
In that desk, there is a drawer, which is locked.
In that drawer, there were Xia Yanran's childhood things, which she cherished very much, so she locked them in the drawer.
She hasn't opened the drawer for a long time. It's like she hasn't recalled the past for a long time.
At this time, she found the key, then took the key and walked towards the drawer.
He went to the drawer and immediately opened it.
When I opened the drawer, it was full of previous items, which had been covered with dust.
There is also one apple that has been killed or even moldy.
She quietly looked at the moldy apple and smiled bitterly.
Some things, rotten, should be thrown away, shouldn't they?
Otherwise, it will only rot more and pollute the surrounding environment.
Besides this moldy apple, there are many other things in this drawer.
For example, a wood carving, a wood carving that he gave to himself.
At this time, she picked up the wood carving and looked at it.
The woodcarving is a girl of 17 or 8 years old. She blushes with shame and wears a simple but clean school uniform.
At that time, she smiled like a flower!
Looking at the smiling wood carving, she suddenly burst into tears.
"Bang bang ~ ~ ~ ~" at this time, mother Jiang Mei has bought apples.
When she opened the door, Jiang Mei said, "Yan Ran, mom has bought an apple. I also bought two kilograms of pork, and I'll make braised meat for you! "
With that, Jiang Mei put down the apple, took the pork and went to the kitchen to cook.
In the bedroom, only Xia Yanran was alone.
She just turned her back to her mother Jiang Mei, who didn't see the tears on her face.
Turning around, she picked up an apple and ate it.
Eating and eating, she cried again!
She lay in that bed, curled up, curled up in a corner.
When she was a child, every time she was sad, every time she felt powerless, she curled up in that corner.
Turn off the light, curl up in the corner, let the darkness wrap yourself.
This time, like when she was a child, she curled up in that corner.
In her hand, she still took the apple and ate it silently.
As if to eat all the apples that fell to the ground in those years.
However, how can the apple many years later be the same as that many years ago.
……
On the other side, Binjiang villa 1.
There are two people sitting on the balcony of the villa at the moment. These two people are naturally he Jinyin and Jiang Xue.
In front of them, there is a bottle of Lafite from 82. In addition, classical music is playing next to it.
The two drank Raffi.
I don't know when night began to fall. He Jinyin stood up, stretched out his hand and invited: "sister Xue, come and dance?"
"OK." Jiang Xue also stood up. Immediately, the two people put their hands on their shoulders and waist and began to dance.
Music has been ringing, night, began to come slowly, moonlight, quietly emerged from the clouds, scattered on the world.
The moon is as cold as water. Who is lonely in the dark?
A joys and sorrows, who blurred the laughter in the moonlight?
