Chapter 18

It took Qi Xi more than an hour to send Lu Xiuyuan home, and the two of them didn't say a word on the way, Lu Xiuyuan seemed to be asleep and had no reaction at all.

When he got home, Lu Xiuyuan went straight upstairs without eating dinner.Qi Xi stood downstairs alone for a long time, and finally ordered a bowl of fried rice with eggs.When it was served, he was already lying on the bed, the light was off, and the room was pitch black.

Qi Xi quietly sat beside his bed, while Lu Xiuyuan covered his face with his head sideways, Qi Xi called softly: "Young master?"

Lu Xiuyuan didn't move.

"Go to bed after eating, we haven't had a massage yet." He put the bowl on the bedside, stretched out his hand to pinch the edge of the quilt and pulled it down. Lu Xiuyuan didn't resist. When the whole face was revealed, Qi Xi saw it. His eyes were red, but there were no tears.

Qi Xi didn't know what to say or what to do for a while, and kept holding the quilt for a long time.In the end, he just helped Lu Xiuyuan up, put a pillow on his back, and brought him a meal.

One of them was sitting, the other was holding a meal. They were in a stalemate for a while, and finally Lu Xiuyuan asked, "Have you eaten yet?"

Qi Xi actually didn't eat, and he didn't have much appetite, but he still nodded: "I ate, and I took a few bites downstairs."

In the end, Lu Xiuyuan still took it and forced a few mouthfuls. Qi Xi saw that he had eaten, but did not force him to finish it.

The surroundings are very quiet, and the sound of every move will be amplified countless times.So much so that the sound of the spoon hitting the bowl, and the sound of Qi Xi rubbing against his clothes during massage, were all very clear.

The two of them didn't speak after all, Qi Xi lowered his head, and Lu Xiuyuan was lying down. When the massage was over, Lu Xiuyuan had already fallen asleep. Qi Xi looked at him for a while, and couldn't help but reached out and plucked his eyelashes. Obviously there were no tears, but is wet.

He stayed on his own initiative, in Lu Xiuyuan's room.He planned to stay on the sofa to deal with it all night, he was too worried about Lu Xiuyuan's state.

The walls are covered with ivy, which makes the walls on both sides full of vitality, like the green that suddenly emerges in the lonely desert.The door was so rusted that it could be opened easily.

"Mom, what are we doing here?" Lu Xiuyuan still didn't know that behind this door was a huge Pandora's box, which could never be closed after opening.

"A dance lesson for you."

Zhong Yuchu led Lu Xiuyuan all the way to the rooftop, without saying a word or making a sound, until Zhong Yuchu closed the door of the rooftop, and the quiet afternoon was broken.

She let go of Lu Xiuyuan's hand, and walked not far away while talking. She rarely told him about the past between her and her father.But today she went from first meeting, to falling in love, to getting married, and finally stopped at the moment of Lu Xiuyuan's birth.

It turned out that in this dilapidated house, there were memories of his mother's past.

"Mom, do you miss it?" The wind on the rooftop was so strong that it bulged Lu Xiuyuan's coat.Today is the first day of spring, and when he goes back, he will give her mother a flower to commemorate the years when she can't go back, he thought.

It took a long time for Zhong Yuchu to answer, and she put her slender black hair behind her ears: "I used to do it, but now I don't." The next second, she stepped on the edge of the roof, which was a very narrow rectangle, The moment he went up, the gray gown was blown up by the wind.

"Mom!" Lu Xiuyuan yelled, and wanted to step forward, but he was afraid of alarming Zhong Yuchu.Staying there at a loss, it was only then that he realized that her mother was wearing a pair of dancing shoes.

"A Yuan, don't come here." Her tone was as gentle as usual, she raised her hand, turned it around, then slowly bent down and stretched out her hand to scoop the ground. This is a very beautiful movement.

"Mom... have you taken your medicine today?" Lu Xiuyuan asked nervously.

Zhong Yuchu ignored it, and continued to dance in that square inch... The uneasiness in Lu Xiuyuan's heart became more and more intense. He moved his feet, but saw Zhong Yuchu's complexion suddenly changed, and his dancing steps began to be unsteady: "Don't come here!"

Lu Xiuyuan took a few steps back in fright: "Okay, okay, Mom, I won't come here, so why don't you come down first?"

Facing the early spring wind, Zhong Yuchu danced her slender hands, her lifeless eyes lit up suddenly, "A Yuan, do you know? As a dancer, you must remember that even if your legs No, even if you don't have a stage, you can't forget every dance step."

"I know." Lu Xiuyuan moved his feet carefully again.

"Your father, don't let me dance anymore. Interfere with me again and again. He thinks I've lost his face by dancing with my male partner in public. He's a layman, and he imprisoned me in a square inch with so-called love. He tied me up Its wings took out my soul." Zhong Yuchu suddenly stopped all his movements, it was a sudden stop, and his movements stagnated a bit strangely.

"Mom... can you come down first, it's too dangerous." Lu Xiuyuan made a sound from his throat with difficulty.

The two of them remained still for a long time, Meng Chun's camphor tree was not yet completely green, and there was a rustling sound, and a faint smell wafted from a distance, touching Zhong Yuchu's long hair.

After a while, Zhong Yuchu opened his mouth slowly, his voice gradually changed from calm to sharp, even a little abnormal: "A Yuan, you have to keep jumping, unless your life is still, unless your legs can no longer walk, unless this is the case. .Otherwise you have to jump down, not for yourself, but for me! Jump down for me! For me.” Suddenly turned around and jumped down without warning. Go away, and finally terminate with a "bang!" and return to silence.

"mom!"

Lu Xiuyuan rushed over almost at the same moment as Zhong Yuchu jumped down. He never thought that people's reaction would be so fast, but it was still too late, everything was too late, and he didn't even touch the corner of her clothes.

He saw her mother plummeting like a bird with a broken wing.

"Mom! Mom! Help...help!"

Lu Xiuyuan was shaking so badly that he could hardly stand on his feet. Holding on, he tried to calm down. Looking at the mother who was still vomiting blood on the ground, he staggered and ran towards the door.

It wasn't until he ran to the door that he realized that the door was tightly closed.

"The key! The key...the key..." Lu Xiuyuan kept chanting the word "key", so that he couldn't make a sound in the end, hope was like a broken bubble, and it disappeared all of a sudden. After not opening the door, everything collapsed. Lu Xiuyuan frantically knocked on the door panel and knocked on the door desperately. He didn't realize that his hands were already dripping with blood.

He could only open his mouth, but he couldn't make a sound...Suddenly it rained, and a force pulled him heavily, and he fell suddenly. The scenery around him suddenly turned dark, and then light appeared again. He fell heavily to the ground...

"It's all your fault! It's not because of you, Mom won't die!"

"Xiuyuan, don't say that. Your father..."

"Who are you! You are a fucking housekeeper! It's your turn to take care of my family's affairs! Who allowed you to call me Xiuyuan!"

"Lu Ming! You clearly know that my mother suffers from depression! The only thing supporting her is dancing! You still stop her! You even send her to the hospital! You know how to work all the time! Face! Do you care about me? You Ever cared about my mother? Why wasn’t you the one who died! Why wasn’t you the one who got sick!”

"Pa" crisp applause.

"Xiaoyuan...do you know what you're talking about?" It was a man's hoarse voice.

spinning around...

Then the ear-piercing police siren sounded, the nasal cavity was filled with a strong smell of blood, and the car turned and deformed was in front of my eyes... There were people coming and going around me, some in police uniforms and some in white coats.Then he saw that the deformed car door was broken open, and a person was dragged out of it...

He watched intently, and uncontrollably took a few steps forward... The soles of his feet softened and he leaned forward, but he didn't hit the ground but fell into the vast sea. He kept sinking, and the light on the sea surface became brighter. farther away...

"Xiuyuan!"

"Lu Xiuyuan!"

Who is calling me...

"Lu Xiuyuan, wake up quickly! Lu Xiuyuan!"

There was a huge wave on the sea surface, and a large circle of ripples was calmly made.A figure jumped down.

"Lu Xiuyuan!"

Lu Xiuyuan opened his eyes suddenly, his body was soaked in sweat, his face was pale and pale, and he was panting heavily.

"Lu Xiuyuan..."

Lu Xiuyuan's vision gradually became clear, and he turned around to see Qi Xi beside the bed holding his hand tightly, watching with worried face.Behind Qi Xi was the thin moonlight, his whole person looked blurred and distant, and then cast a shadow on Lu Xiuyuan.

"What's wrong with you? Did you have a nightmare? What did you dream about?" Qi Xi's voice was a little low, and his eyes were full of worry.

Lu Xiuyuan shook his head, lowered his head and supported half of his face with his hands, his body kept shaking, his breathing became heavier every time.Qi Xi just looked at it like this, the person in front of him was so thin, every trembling was like a stab in his heart, he didn't know what he dreamed about, if he didn't want to say it, he wouldn't ask again.

"Lu Xiuyuan, let me hug you." Qi Xi said.This was the first time he said such words, and he had fantasized about hugging Lu Xiuyuan countless times.But he never dared to carry it out, dared not move, dared not ask, and just tonight he boldly said it.

Before Lu Xiuyuan had time to refuse, he stretched out his hand and pulled the person who would be blown away by the wind into his arms. The person in his arms froze for a moment, but he immediately reacted and stretched out his hand to push Qi Xi.

"Xiuyuan, Xiuyuan, don't push me away..." Qi Xi's hand strengthened, and he slowly rested his head on his forehead. Perhaps such a tone made Lu Xiuyuan feel unbearable, and he was not struggling.Then Qi Xi patted Lu Xiuyuan's back slowly one by one, with a soft voice, as if afraid of disturbing the person in his arms: "It's okay. I'm always here."
