Chapter 19
As soon as the phone was connected, my mother asked straight to the point: "Cheng Yu went to Guangzhou yesterday. Did I bring the things Cheng Yu gave you, right?"
"Hmm? Not yet, I'm going to work overtime today, Cheng Yu is also with his friends, but don't worry, mom, I will definitely get it to Cheng Yu before he goes back."
My mother said earnestly to me: "Is this really the case? You have to get the bag of Ganoderma lucidum early, go back and boil water, or make soup. Also, now that the weather is hot, you should pay more attention to what you eat, don't eat spicy food, be careful of getting angry, do you know?"
"I know, mom, I'm not a child," I stopped and added: "Mom is the best for me, thank you mom!"
"Just know. By the way, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. Then... take Xiao Su (Su Jing) home to celebrate the festival together."
Su Jing sat next to me and naturally heard what my mother said on the phone. I looked at her face that was shy again and almost laughed out loud. So I held my smile and said to my mother, "Mom, I don't know if I need to work overtime at that time. Su Jing is also busy taking the postgraduate entrance examination. I will check it out again if I go home."
"I really don't know why you want to choose this industry. You always work overtime. You have to spend more time with Xiao Su, do you know?" My mother paused for a moment, as if she had thought about something, and then said, "Okay, I won't tell you anymore. I have to make soup. Remember to ask Cheng Yu to get something."
"Yeah, I get it."
After hanging up the phone, I looked at Su Jing. She looked at the leaves on the ground in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking. I approached Su Jing a little, hugged her gently, then imitated my mother's tone, and said, "You will take Xiao Su home to celebrate the festival together!"
Su Jing curled her lips and replied, "No, didn't you say I'm busy taking the postgraduate entrance examination?"
I was a little amused and cried, and said, "Then, I can't say: Mom, you're so right! Su Jing has been waiting for the stars and the moon, and I'm hoping that I can take her home!"
Su Jing raised her head and gave me a blank look, but soon said to me with a smile on her face, "Okay, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, let's go home together, I miss home too."
"Well, that's it."
The fallen leaves floating in the school road were raised by a gust of wind. When the wind stopped, it fell to the ground again. Su Jing and I snuggled up with each other, neither of us spoke, and enjoyed the afternoon wind in silence.
I don’t know how long it took, Su Jing finally opened her eyes slowly, her face was a little disappointed, and she said softly: “Cheng Ting, are you going back soon.”
Although I really should go back to Guangzhou, I felt a little embarrassed when I saw her lost expression, so I smiled and comforted: "Even if I go back to Guangzhou, it's not that I won't come to D City in the future. After all, you still have you here, right?"
"I know you must have a lot of things to do, and you came here secretly without hiding it, but... Ting, can you leave tomorrow?" She bit her lip and curled up in my arms.
I stroked her hair, hesitated for a while, and finally nodded and said, "Well, I'll leave early tomorrow morning."
......
At 5:30 the next morning, I got up carefully, for fear of waking up Su Jing, who was still asleep at this time, and then went out to buy breakfast and go back to the hotel. I wrote a message for Su Jing and placed it on the table with the breakfast. I lay on the edge of the bed and watched her sleep quietly. Suddenly, I seemed to think of something, raised my mouth, then took out my cell phone and leaned against Su Jing, making many strange grimaces with her. When she woke up, I would send these photos to her.
I put away my cell phone, stood up and looked at the time. I knew I should leave. Finally, I bent down and stamped her forehead with my lips. Then I left the hotel no longer hesitated.
At around nine o'clock in the morning, I received a call from Cheng Yu as soon as I arrived in Guangzhou, saying that I was going home in a hurry and asked me to find a place to meet and take the things. After I gave me the things I brought from home, he had to take the bus home.
More than twenty minutes later, I just left outside the subway station and saw Cheng Yu holding a bag of things in his hand. He looked around, looking at the time on his watch from time to time. It seemed that he was really in a hurry.
I patted his shoulder from behind and said, "I'm so in a hurry, don't you plan to find a restaurant to have breakfast before leaving?"
"I asked you to come out for a couple of drinks last night, but you couldn't come. My dad called me back early this morning, saying that there was work to do." Cheng Yu handed me the things in his hand, paused, and said, "Hold it, your express delivery is really good, and your elder brother will come to help you deliver... Next time I come to Guangzhou again. If you put my pigeons on me again, I can't spare you. Okay, that's it. I have to leave quickly. My friend is still waiting for me in the car."
After taking the bag, I grinned and nodded, "It must be! Make money well. If I can't make money outside one day, I have to go home and rely on you."
Cheng Yu turned around and waved his back to me, and said as he walked, "Don't worry, there was no one from that day, let's go."
This weekend, whether it was Su Jing or Cheng Yu, we parted in a hurry. We still had too many things we didn't say, but the time was too short. Looking at Cheng Yu's back gradually fading away, I lit a cigarette in melancholy. In fact, it wasn't a "melancholy", but suddenly, I felt a sense of emptiness in my heart.
......
At around 1 noon, I ate something outside and then returned to my residence. The room was very quiet. It turned out that Zhao Yihang, the kid, was also out.
I sat on the sofa and lit a cigarette and played with my phone bored. Since I left City D in the morning, Su Jing has not sent me a message. Could it be that she has not gotten up yet?
"Get up and have a meal." I sent her a message on WeChat.
Not long after, Su Jing replied to my message and sent a picture. It turned out that she had already reviewed in the library.
"I thought you hadn't gotten up yet, why did you ignore me all morning?"
"I've gone to the library."
After Su Jing said this, I didn't know how to reply, so I sent three consecutive photos of grimaces that I took with her in the morning. I changed my sitting position and looked forward to how she would reply to me.
She first sent me a "speechless" expression and replied: "You are so childish, so ugly. Just make a face by yourself, and you'll still pull me up."
I smiled proudly and replied, "You can't blame me for this. If you want to blame someone, you blame someone for sleeping like a pig. I pinch your nose and poke your face, and you don't even feel it."
"...Ignore you, I'll go read."
"Oh, then you go read the book, I'll play by myself."
After replying to Su Jing, I threw my phone aside and lay directly on the sofa. But after a while, I felt sleepy. I was too tired and I basically didn’t have a good rest in the past two days, so I fell asleep in a daze.
......
When I woke up, it was already when the lights were on outside the window. The room was pitch black. It seemed that Zhao Yihang had not come back. After waking up, I felt dry mouth, turned on the light, poured a glass of water and drank it. Then I sat back on the sofa. I picked up my phone and saw that I almost scared me. There were 16 missed calls. The last time I called was 12 minutes ago, all of which were called by Yang Fan. There were more than ten messages on WeChat, namely Su Jing, Cheng Yu and Yang Fan.
Yang Fan called me so many times, and there must be an urgent matter, so I gave priority to reading his message. It was sent around 7 o'clock: "Brother, if there is an urgent matter, please reply quickly when you see the news!"
However, it is almost eight o'clock in the evening now... How long have I been sleeping? I blame myself for this bad habit. I have to mute my phone every time I go to bed.
After a while, I quickly called Yang Fan, and it almost rang as soon as the ringtone rang. How anxious he was to keep on the phone.
Yang Fan said in a low tone and quickly said, "If you don't show up again, I'll be done. Where are you?"
I scratched my hair and said embarrassedly: "Ah, in the rental house, I was sleeping before, but I didn't hear the silent phone. You made so many calls to me, what's going on?"
He was silent for more than ten seconds and finally said, "I'm in a fight, can you come here for a while?"
In my impression, Yang Fan had almost never had a fight. This time, someone must have touched his bottom line. I stood up with a shiver and said angrily: "Which grandson? I will kill him, send me a seat, and search the guy immediately."
He was a little nervous and stuttered: "No, no, the call has been completed. I want you to come and pick me up..."
"So, where are you?"
