Chapter 55 – Snow
The hotel was in the Luyuan Mountain Scenic Area, and it was close to the mountain. The temperature was much lower than that of the city.
It snowed at night, and the snow stopped in the morning, and there was a thin layer of snow on the ground.
Chi Tang would go to the scenic mountain for a walk every day. Zhang Meng would spend the first two days with her as a landlord. Later, after seeing her familiar with this place, she had a lazy cancer attack and didn’t want to move, so she let her go alone. Now You Yu was here too. Chi Tang naturally knocked on the door next door.
“Tuk Tuk”
As soon as You Yu took out her book, she saw Chi Tang standing by the door with her hands in her pockets. “Go to the mountain for a walk?” she asked.
You Yu looked at the exercises in front of her and hesitated.
Chi Tang also noticed it and raised her eyebrows: “It’s all on holiday; can’t you take a day off?”
Although people who work hard are admirable, do they study like this every day, as if there was nothing else in life, so they don’t feel bored?
You Yu still stood up, put on a down jacket, and prepared to go out with her.
The two were wearing shoes at the entrance of the hotel. Zhang Meng, who was sitting there watching TV, was motionless. Aunt Ning poked her head out of the kitchen and said: “It’s freezing outside. You both put your scarves around.”
Chi Tang reluctantly put on a checkered scarf, the one she wore when she went to pick her up. You Yu felt this scarf did not suit Chi Tang’s preferences. It was strange to see her wearing this scarf before, but now she understands that this was not Chi Tang’s scarf, but Ning Ning’s.
“You Yu didn’t bring a scarf. Come on, Aunt Ning has a scarf for you.” The enthusiastic Aunt Ning found another checkered scarf with similar patterns and gave it to You Yu.
Two people who went out for a stroll wore the same scarf.
After all, the surrounding area was a developed scenic spot. Many roads have been well built. Even the road up the mountain had been built into a big road. Following the mountain road, the terrain became steep, and the road slowly changed from a cement road to a gravel road.
There was a barricade in front, but no one was guarding it, and the two of them crossed the barricade and moved forward. During the two days approaching the New Year, there was no maintenance on the scenic spot and no road cleaning. Except for the birds and small animals in the forest, they were the first guests to visit today. The two rows of footprints on the thin snow were all left by them.
It was freezing outside, and my nose was blown off by the wind in the forest. Chi Tang pulled a scarf to cover most of her face and glimpsed You Yu looking up at the tree branches above him, walking silently with a footprint next to her feet.
Her hands were dangling beside her; her pockets were bulging, and she had no idea what was inside.Chi Tang was a little curious, put her hand into You Yu Dachang’s pocket casually, and took out a booklet of English vocabulary from it.
Chi Tang: “You don’t want to study all the time. You are racing against time, and you take this with you when you walk out.” She didn’t even have the interest to look at it, so she just stuffed it back.
She didn’t bring it out on purpose, but she just put it in my pocket and forgot to put it back. You Yu stuffed the question book into her pocket and asked, “Where are we going?”
Chi Tang: “Whatever, I just walked along this road before, and I turned back almost immediately after walking, or we took another side road today.”
You Yu: “Well, don’t go too far; go back soon.”
Chi Tang frowned, “I wanted to go back as soon as I came out, and there is nothing to do when I go back.”
You Yu:”… you can go back and do the questions.”
Chi Tang was speechless and kicked the snow-filled grass on the side of Chi Tang was speechless and kicked the snow-filled grass on the side of the road.
The kick was splashed with snow, and the upper was covered with snowflakes.
“Now it’s winter vacation, and the Chinese New Year is almost here. You haven’t seen Is that news? High school students are under too much pressure, and they suddenly die after staying up late studying. You are not in high school yet, so there is no need to be so nervous.Can’t you rest for a few days? “
She doesn’t understand. During this period, I saw that You Yu, who was already diligent, had become more hardworking, as if she was forcing herself to study. As a bystander, she feels tired and does not understand You Yu’s eagerness. How did it come?
You Yu was silent for a while, looked at her, and suddenly whispered, “I told you before that I could support you when I work in the future.”
Chi Tang was taken aback, and after thinking about it for a moment, there was something like this, “Is it the first year of high school? Are you kidding me?”
You Yu: “I’m not kidding. I can support you in the future.”
For more than a year, she and the person next to her have gone from strange to familiar. Every time she sees her return to school from home with a hurt and nonchalant expression, she sees her alone and depressed, confused and worried about the future. You Yu felt she should work harder.
She wants to become a reliable person in the future, and only if she was strong enough could she completely shed the shadow of her home and help Chi Tang.
This idea appeared very early, as early as last winter when she and Chi Tang hid in an old house in Pengning County, but she simply felt grateful to her and wanted to repay her.
She didn’t know when, but there were many other things in that gratitude. Specifically, she didn’t quite understand. There were a lot of things she wanted to do, but she couldn’t do them now. She could only work harder and do the best she could do. As a student now, she was only good at learning.
If she could get something after working hard, she could share it with others.
The only thing she wanted to share was Chi Tang.
Chi Tang stepped on the snow on the ground and was not moved by You Yu’s affirmative answer. SShe felt unspeakable irritability.
“None of us have grown up. It’s too early to say this. You don’t need to put so much pressure on yourself, and even if we are friends, I won’t be able to rely on you in the future. “
You Yu: “It’s not…”
Chi Tang: “You used to have only one friend of mine, but now you have so many friends. Sister Zhang Meng and others, do you have to raise them all? Then you are exhausted, and there is no need to take on responsibility that does not belong to you. “
Chi Tang understands some of You Yu’s thoughts, worries, and concerns; sometimes she also had; but she doesn’t like the feeling that she had become someone else’s responsibility, as if she had become a burden, as if she had let her live. It was so hard that she couldn’t breathe.
Since birth, she had been her mother’s burden. Her mother finally left her burden. She became her father’s burden. Once she became someone else’s burden, it made people’s lives difficult and that love would be wiped out. Becomes bored. She felt her experiences from childhood to adulthood made her afraid of becoming someone else’s responsibility.
Chi Tang wanted to lose her temper with You Yu, who took himself inexplicably as a responsibility.
You Yu couldn’t understand her complicated feelings, but she could tell that Chi Tang was upset by saying that she wanted to raise her seriously.
Chi Tang stopped speaking, and You Yu had no choice but to say: “Chi Tang, when we reach adulthood and go to university, will you leave home?”
“Yes,” Chi Tang replied, hard.
“I want to go to school with you. If not, then I want to be closer to your school. We can still be friends. Even if we can’t meet every day, we can see each other every few days or once a week. Wait one more time. In the future, we will graduate and work. If you don’t have someone you like, I would like to live with you and take care of each other. ” Those words were embarrassing, but she thought it was probably too late in my heart. It was not as difficult as she thought.
You Yu looked at the snow under her feet and thought, if there was no difference, it would be nice to be together forever. Like now, it would be nice to be your best friend.
Chi Tang: “…”
Chi Tang again said: “I’ll talk about the future. But you can work hard for yourself. You don’t need to work hard for me. This is not a substitute. “
You Yu understood her meaning a little bit: “I’m sorry, I didn’t want to put you under pressure.”
Chi Tang didn’t say a word, and the two walked silently for a while. The weather slowly became gloomy and snow floated in the sky.
You Yu: “It’s snowing again. It looks like it’s going to snow heavily. Shall we go back now? “
Chi Tang: “Yeah.”
The two turned around and walked back. As expected, they didn’t go far, and it turned into heavy snow with goose feathers, and snow fell on both of them. You Yu untied the big scarf around her neck and put it on Chi Tang’s head.
Chi Tang: “Are you covering your head?”
She tore off the scarf from her neck with her backhand and also covered You Yu’s face.
