C14 Let Me Shake You Goodbye
My mother was sweating as she lit her bags and packed books. Shu Wei sat on the sofa and sent two text messages to Chenghui, telling him the number of cars and the things she wanted to bring.
At ten o'clock at night, her father asked the driver to pick up the train. Shu Lin was calling her classmates and asking them about everything in that strange city again. Including traffic, road conditions, bus, and climate. Although these had been confirmed countless times.
The weather at the end of August was like a big steamer, making one unable to bear it.
"What are you doing? Take a phone. Hurry up and help Mom take a look!"
"Mom, let me go out for a walk." Shu Wei looked up at the watch on the wall.
It was 7: 15 in the evening.
"Have some porridge later. The driver went downstairs. " What are you going out for? "
I have to go find Xiaoya. She doesn't know that I'm leaving today. "
"She hasn't started school yet?"
"No!" Shu Wei replied while putting on her shoes. She took her phone and put it in her skirt pocket. She opened the door and went downstairs.
She was just so bored that she could not breathe. She wanted to go out and take a breather.
At this moment, the sun was burning in the sky, giving off a brilliant orange glow.
Everything in Nancheng was covered inside, like a mirage. Her steps were very slow, as if she had lost her direction. This road that she had walked for who knows how many years only carried the traces of the changing of the four seasons. A child's laughter was its only acting point.
The pre-class bell of Nancheng High School began to echo in the aura of the setting sun. It carried some summons and ripples. Wave after wave, it started to reverberate again and again.
She was on the other side of the road and saw the person over there. He was expressionlessly looking at the students who had entered the door.
There were other teachers around him talking. He turned his head by chance and did not have much of an expression.
She stopped. He was still very familiar with the way he took out his phone from his pocket. He looked at the time and raised his head unintentionally. He was looking in his direction.
She laughed. Her two canine teeth stretched out like small hands.
He was slightly stunned and walked two steps towards this direction, looking at her. He raised his eyebrows, and wanted to open his mouth, but he didn't.
She tilted her head and mischievously raised her little finger to her mouth and hissed.
He smiled and turned his head to look at others, then at her. He extended a hand and beckoned for her to come closer.
She pursed her lips and frowned. She waved her hand but did not move.
Lu Chun frowned slightly. He looked around and walked a few steps towards them.
She was a little nervous. She bit her lips tightly. She clenched her fists and released them. She still took a few steps forward.
"Chief Lu! Chief Lu!" Shu Wei opened her mouth and saw Lu Chun in front of her. She realized that this was the first time she had looked at him so carefully. That refreshing and refreshing facial features and that scattered smile.
His eyes were bright and slightly misty.
He laughed, "Don't use peppers on me!"
"I heard that you've become the head of the government and religion department."
"Shu Wei, it's time to go, right?" His tone was gentle and natural, and there was a smile in his eyes. There was a flash.
"I'll leave in a moment!"
Lu Chun checked the time on his phone and turned to look at her.
"Come with me." He nodded and motioned for her to follow.
Lu Chun did not say anything along the way. He just nodded. She had seen that seriousness before, but for the first time, she felt that all of his seriousness seemed to have completely disappeared from her.
She still had a tacit understanding. She followed him to the empty classroom on the fourth floor.
The dusk fell. The light inside was somewhat dim, with a bluish-purple glow.
Lu Chun entered the room, took a chalk wipe from the podium, and handed it to her.
Shu Wei looked at him in confusion.
"Come, stand here. I'll go over there!"
"What?" She didn't understand.
He walked to the end of the 32 boxes and looked at her with a smile. "I remember promising you that if you get into Beijing University, I will jump to your side. Actually, in my heart, you have already gone to Beijing University. "Don't be discouraged, and don't be too harsh on yourself. I hope that Shu Wei will be happy. Okay? No matter what difficulties she encountered, she must be strong. "Remember."
"Mr Lu!" Shu Wei held the board and wiped it. She did not know what to do.
"Shu Wei, these 64 boxes have been completed. It is time to wipe it off. " Finally, you can jump away. WELL DONE! "
Shu Wei's heart was full of bitterness. She bit her lips and looked at him carefully. She squatted down and started to wipe. Rubbing.
"What's wrong?"
She wiped herself until it reached his feet.
"Mr Lu!" She stood up, smiled, and patted her hands. Her eyes were still full of mischief.
"I'm not good enough. I'll work hard!" Her two canine teeth were perfectly revealed, full of pride.
"I have to go!" Shu Wei looked at the light outside the window and stretched out her hand.
"Goodbye, Lu Chun!"
He smiled and also reached out his hand to shake hers.
She tightened her grip and pulled it away quickly.
She turned around and wanted to leave. After thinking for a moment, she turned around again.
"What's your number?"
"Oh!" "Oh," Lu Chun said. He could only take a red chalk from the chalk box and write it on it.
"TEL136 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * It was messy and rough.
He was a little embarrassed and tore it off for her. " I'm sorry! "
Shu smiled. She took it over and folded it before putting it in her pocket.
"Goodbye." Shu Wei smiled faintly and watched him retreat. She turned her body beautifully and walked with her back to him. She extended her arm above her head and waved at him. She was very free and relaxed.
She walked like this without turning her head. Her footsteps were still light.
Lu Chun looked at Shu Wei who was far away. Suddenly, he felt that his entire body was empty. He was a little absent-minded.
The sky was completely dark. Leaning against the podium, half a god appeared.
He took out his phone and clicked on his contact list. Inside was Shu Wei's home number.
His hand trembled and he still pressed the button. The screen showed: deleted. Even though he had never dialed this number.
Lu Chun smiled and thought of Shu Wei who was crying on the ground and said that he was stupid.
He thought of Shu Wei who jumped down from the wall with her face covered in dirt and dirt. She raised her chin arrogantly and waited for him to punish her.
He smiled and sighed deeply. He looked out of the window.
"Zhongguang! Shu Wei, it was time to change the number. " Delete what should be deleted. "
Nancheng High School's hexagonal building stood in silence. Shu Wei stood in its shadow and looked deeply at the classroom. She thought that this was the last time she and Lu Chun stood in the middle of 64 squares.
At that moment, the black board in her hand seemed to be rubbing her heart muscles. It hurt a little, and then again. She wanted to wipe it clean. Step by step, each and every one of them was cleaner.
She really wanted to be outstanding. She wanted Lu Chun to not only say that she was outstanding in his heart, but also in his heart.
She really wanted to be dazzling.
She even thought sourly that other than this pitiful pride and strength, she actually had nothing else.
She did not have the gentleness and passion of her older sister, nor did she have the happiness of her younger brother.
There was also no Xiaoya who could not help herself and could not help herself.
Her self-control and thoughtlessness that she was proud of were full of sarcasm and jokes.
She suddenly realized that she was so empty, even though she did not know what was empty.
She laughed self-deprecatingly and looked at the flashing lights from her phone's mother.
"Mom, I'm coming. You guys wait for me at the north side of the road."
Shu Wei turned her head and looked at the building, the room.
She decisively ran away.
Nancheng. She had stayed in this place for eighteen years, and she was finally going to leave.
Her father asked the driver to drive to the west for a long time and went around the lake.
"Come down, Shu Wei!"
"What are you doing?"
"Hurry up!"
Shu Wei did not know why she came down and looked at her father in front of her.
"Come, take a look. The lights of the tens of thousands of families in Nancheng!"
Shu Wei followed her father's guidance and looked away. The lights, the lamps on the tall buildings, and the swaying shadows of trees were printed in the lake. It was blurry and flickering.
The stars, the moon, and the lights all had the same three dimensional space in Nancheng. They were dense and dense, as if they had been separated from each other for a long time.
She smiled and closed her eyes.
"I - I'm leaving! I'm leaving!" Shu Wei said quietly several times.
