Fork in the road

Bai Xiaoyuan couldn't help but complained and said: "I have to go back to my hometown after only a few days, this winter vacation is still very important..."

Bai Xinhong replied: "There has been such a big incident in his family recently, it's good for the two of us to go out and relax."

Bai Xiaoyuan was taken aback, and subconsciously asked, "What's the matter?"

Bai Xinhong was also taken aback by his question, and asked back: "You don't know?"

Bai Xiaoyuan was even more at a loss, but he had some bad premonitions in his heart. He asked, "What's going on?"

"Yu Xian's parents went through the divorce procedure two days ago." Bai Xinhong paused for a moment, then continued, "But they decided to divorce some time ago, and Yu Xian also knew - didn't he tell you?"

"No!" He answered simply, but there was already some grievance unconsciously in his tone.

After hearing the news, Bai Xiaoyuan's first reaction was shock. Uncle Yu and Aunt Hu finally chose to separate, and then he was puzzled, why did Yu Xian hide it from him?In the end, he was angry, and he was so angry that he was a little wronged.

Aren't they best friends?Why not only did Yu Xian not tell him about his parents' divorce, but he was also so indifferent to him recently?If it's because he's sad, then he can talk to himself. When Yu Xian's parents quarreled, he played the role of a close brother several times!Why did Yu Xian avoid himself after something happened?

Bai Xiaoyuan had the feeling that he handed out a sincere heart and was accepted by the other party, and he stood there cheerfully and expectantly waiting for the other party to exchange his sincerity, but the other party left without looking back.

Don't look back!just go!

Really angry and sad.But since I valued Yu Xian so much, I was only a little bit angry, and Yu Xian suffered another accident, and my anger was extinguished as soon as I got up.

So there is only sadness left.Bai Xiaoyuan felt sorry for herself and for Yu Xian.

But Yu Xian didn't even tell himself, presumably he didn't need such redundant feelings from him.

Bai Xiaoyuan didn't want to belittle himself so presumptuously, but what happened during this period has already severely damaged his confidence in the friendship between the two of them.

Bai Xiaoyuan couldn't help but think in his heart: He has been making lovable pistachios for so many years, and he stumbled on his best friend!sad!Pitiful!The most important thing is to be angry!

Bai Xiaoyuan added enough drama to himself in his heart, and then asked: "Why did Aunt Hu and the others get divorced? Isn't the previous thing over?"

"Because the person involved made a mistake again—not right, not counting it again, he never corrected the previous mistake at all."

"Uh... that is to say, Uncle Yu said it was broken before, but he didn't?" Bai Xiaoyuan couldn't believe it.He used to think that Uncle Yu looked reliable, but now it seems that his thinking is outrageously wrong.

"It was probably disconnected for a while, but I got in touch again." Bai Xinhong said in a casual tone, "I asked your Aunt Hu to check her husband's call records every month. At first, she thought that I thought about it, but it didn't take long before I found out that Yu Xian's father's call records in the middle of the night were a bit strange. Why did he always call an unfamiliar number in the middle of the night when he was working overtime? She found a public phone and called. When you hear the voice on the other side, you will understand."

After hearing Bai Xinhong's explanation, Bai Xiaoyuan only felt that people's hearts are so unpredictable.

They have been together for many years, have an excellent son, and seem to be a loving and harmonious couple, but they have different dreams in the same bed.After being discovered, he tried his best to save this marriage, as if he suddenly discovered that his true love was his wife, but after saving it, he quickly lost interest in this family, as if all the apologies and guarantees he had made before were in vain. It's a hypocritical show.

If this is the case, why did you swear to say those words of retention at the beginning?

Bai Xiaoyuan didn't understand, he hoped that he would never understand, he hoped that he would never become an adult who could tell lies.

Holding the phone, Bai Xiaoyuan didn't know what else to say, so he asked, "So, after I told you that Yu Xian's parents were fighting, have you been in contact with Aunt Hu?"

"Yes. I went back to China for a while before the winter vacation, but I didn't go home. I was with her all the time during that time."

"Together?" Bai Xiaoyuan was a little confused, "Aunt Hu is not at her house?"

"No, after they discussed and decided to divorce, they moved out temporarily."

Bai Xiaoyuan's first reaction was, so Yu Xian was in a bad mood during that time, was it because he could only face his cheating father when he got home?He thought to himself, why didn't Aunt Hu just take Yu Xian out to live with her? Yu Xian must have been in quite a complicated mood at that time.Alas, I can't even blame Yu Xian for coming. Facing the relationship between father and son that may be broken every day, how could it be possible to maintain a good face and a good mood all the time.

Bai Xiaoyuan thought about some of the past, and couldn't help but ask about the future: "What about after that? Who did Yu Xian spend with? Will he move out?"

"Live with his mother, don't move away."

Bai Xiaoyuan breathed a sigh of relief.It's fine not to move, after all, it's not easy to find a house near the school at this time.

At this time, Bai Xinhong changed the topic: "Don't you know anything about what happened to Yu Xian recently?"

Bai Xiaoyuan really wanted to keep silent, but he could only give a dejected "um".

Bai Xinhong pondered for a moment, then asked: "Have you been hated by others?"

Bai Xiaoyuan was full of anger and categorically denied: "No! Yes! Yes! Yu Xian likes me!" After he finished speaking, he himself felt a little guilty.

"From your ignorant state, you can't feel that he likes you." Bai Xinhong said coldly, "By the way, have you ever told him that you told me about his family affairs? "

"No..." Bai Xiaoyuan lacked confidence.

"Then is he a private person?"

"It should be..." Bai Xiaoyuan became more and more unconfident.

"He may have mistakenly thought that I would contact Hu Yue because you told me about his family." Bai Xinhong guessed, "But in fact, she also took the initiative to contact me later to ask me to help her analyze the situation."

Bai Xiaoyuan was still a little dubious: "Yu Xian won't be angry with me because of this, right?"

"I'm the direct cause of his parents' divorce. After all, I taught you, Aunt Hu, how to be vigilant. Although the root cause is the most important, the fuse may be too obvious."

Bai Xiaoyuan still didn't want to believe it: "Yu Xian will definitely not be angry with me because of this matter, it's all about venting anger, and he must understand."

"Then why didn't he tell you anything?"

"I don't know." Bai Xiaoyuan's expression was a little dazed when he spoke, and then gradually became firm, "But I know it's definitely not because of anger, there must be other reasons, I must ask him face to face and personally. "

"Then wait until the winter vacation is over, you won't see him now."

"Hey, Mom." Bai Xiaoyuan said flatteringly, "Can you provide me with a little travel funds? I can't wait until school starts, and I want to go to Province K to find out now, otherwise I will always feel unsure. If you are in decline, you will not be able to study hard!"

Bai Xinhong hit the nail on the head: "You just don't want to study at home all winter vacation."

Regardless of the reason, Bai Xinhong finally agreed to Bai Xiaoyuan's request.Bai Xiaoyuan knew what he was doing, it was just a vacation, and he didn't do anything that would delay his studies—even if it was, Bai Xinhong felt that whether it was Bai Xiaoyuan's study or his friendship, it was all about him. For things that can be handled, she will only say a few words on the side at most, and will not interfere too much.

Bai Xiaoyuan asked Bai Xinhong to ask where Aunt Hu and Yu Xian's great-grandfather lived, and specifically emphasized not to let Aunt Hu know that she was going to go there.

Didn't Yu Xian hide it from himself, so this time, he will cut first and play later!See if he is in a hurry!

...Yu Xian doesn't seem to be in a hurry, after all, he doesn't know that he is planning a surprise attack here.If he just ran over without saying hello, Yu Xian might be angry when he saw him.

Bai Xiaoyuan thought about it, and decided to ignore Yu Xian's thoughts for now, as soon as he thought of Yu Xian himself, his anger would rise again.This time, he was going to catch him off guard. Even if Yu Xian got angry, that would be fine, so that he would not be able to understand his feeling of being hidden from him before.

Regardless of whether it makes sense or not, anyway, Bai Xiaoyuan thinks so capriciously.

Bai Xiaoyuan thought about how long he was going to stay in Province K, and felt that if he didn't play around, just to resolve the misunderstanding with Yu Xian, that day would be enough, and he would go back on the same day.After all, the two of them can be regarded as informal, and there are few conflicts in daily life because of trivial matters, so although Bai Xiaoyuan feels that Yu Xian's attitude seems to be too abnormal this time, he doesn't think it's unreasonable. what a tricky one.

Anyway, no matter what the conflict is, it must be resolved in the end.

Moreover, Bai Xiaoyuan feels that for a person like Yu Xian who is a bit awkward, the grudges in his heart may not be so serious and difficult to solve, because even if it is only a small problem, Yu Xian will not open his mouth and say that it is all Bai Xiaoyuan. Yuan took the initiative to communicate, and then easily resolved the possible conflicts.

The reason why it lasted so long this time is because Bai Xiaoyuan didn't realize that Yu Xian might be angry, after all, he didn't do anything.Otherwise, Bai Xiaoyuan would have asked the reason a long time ago, and there would be no pressure to ask him to apologize after asking the reason.If Bai Xiaoyuan could have found out earlier, why would he have to fly all the way to confront him like he is now?

But that's okay, I can go out and have fun during the winter vacation.Bai Xiaoyuan silently extended the planned time, and was not in a hurry to book a return ticket.

After learning the location of Yu Xian's grandpa's house, Bai Xiaoyuan was very thankful that he didn't book a return ticket on the same day.This place is too remote, is it a suburb or a rural area?At any rate, he has been to Province K once, and spent a few days there, so he can still remember some maps, but he has never even heard of the place where Yu Xian is.

I searched for directions on the Internet, and I probably have to take the bus several times, and then I can only choose to walk or take a taxi, but the taxi is not easy to wait, and I may choose a three-wheeled motorcycle or the like...

I regret it.What kind of surprise attack are you doing? Are you stupid?I really want to tell Aunt Hu and Yu Xian that they will pick me up when the time comes.

But the decision has been made, and Bai Xiaoyuan doesn't intend to change it. Anyway, he is only worried that he will not find his way. Others, such as the fatigue of the journey or the transportation cost, he is not particularly worried.

After the air ticket is booked, Bai Xiaoyuan is ready to book a hotel.

He originally thought that after arriving in Province K, he could borrow Yu Xian's place the next day, but he was worried that it would be too disturbing, so he booked it for two nights first, and then he could renew it after checking the situation.

After all the preparations were done, Bai Xiaoyuan took a shower, climbed into bed with anticipation, and fell asleep without even touching his phone.

Tomorrow's flight is very early, so I'll have a good rest tonight.
