Chapter 23 Sudden Chest Pain

When Rong Min appeared on the playground of the attached middle school with his things, Xie Jingzheng was squatting alone on the steps beside the rostrum, the evening wind blew his bangs, revealing a clean forehead, and the outline of his delicate eyebrows was blurred under the faint moonlight.Rong Min subconsciously lowered his footsteps, he vaguely felt Xie Jing's sadness at this moment.

As if there was a sense, Xie Jing looked back and met Rong Min's dazed eyes, he smiled and waved at him, "You're here."

Rong Min took a deep breath, took a bag and sat down beside Xie Jing, with his long legs stretched out on a few steps, after that, he took out two cans of beer from the white plastic bag, and threw one of them In Xie Jing's arms, "Here, you told me."

The chilled beer was exposed to the air and quickly condensed a thin layer of water mist on the beer can. Xie Jing held it in his hand and looked at it for a while, then wiped off the water droplets on the top with his fingers, and wiped the slightly cool body of the bottle Putting it on the cheek, let out a comfortable sigh.

"Don't you want to drink?" Rong Min easily opened the ring of the soda can with his middle finger, took a sip on his own, and looked up at the curved moon hidden in the gray clouds.

"I don't drink." Xie Jing replied with a light voice, and he slid the beer can against his face like a game, "Believe it or not, I couldn't drink it very much before, but I just like this stuff, and I can't drink it anymore , I want to drink some too."

Rong Min didn't say whether he believed it or not, but just asked: "Then why don't you drink now?"

Xie Jing shrugged his head, and it took him a long time to hear his muffled voice, "Drinking is a waste of time, drunk, you can't control yourself at all, you can't do anything." As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly looked up at Rong Min , the eyes flashed brightly, "However, today is an exception, just drink a little, just drink a little, if I get drunk, you have to send me home."

When Xie Jing spoke, his warm breath was right next to his neck, and his arms were close together...

"Okay, even if I carry you back, I have to carry you back." Rong Min spoke with love, and where Xie Jing couldn't see, deep clouds rolled in his eyes.

He drank the beer like plain water, and drank it a few gulps, soon Xie Jing's face flushed, he hiccupped, and smirked at Rong Min.

Rong Min stretched out his hand to stroke the messy lock of hair on his head that was blown up by the wind, and it rose up again after a while. Like his master, he was extremely persistent.

Xie Jing stared at the luxuriant phoenix tree in the distance, the soft branches were swaying in the wind, he rubbed the tip of his nose that suddenly became sore, and asked, "Rong Min, how do your parents treat you?"

Rong Min focused on the back of Xie Jing's head, still struggling with the uncoordinated hair, when he heard Xie Jing's question, he twitched the corners of his mouth, showing a coldness that he hadn't noticed, "It's quite OK."

"How is it that it's pretty good?" Xie Jing asked stubbornly.

Finally suppressing the messy hair, Rong Min clapped his hands in satisfaction, and replied in a casual tone: "They are very busy, but we can see each other every month, sometimes we have dinner, and in other respects Never treated me harshly."

After hearing this, Xie Jing cast a sympathetic look at Rong Min. In his eyes, Rong Min was probably a child who was busy at home and didn't have time to take care of him.The same goes for him, Liu Xuejuan has to work on the small restaurant business all day long, and rarely has time to take care of him.

"Have you seen my mother?" Xie Jing lowered his eyelids and stroked the body of the can with his fingers, "The restaurant is so busy, she is busy in and out every day, I know she cares about me, but she doesn't care about me. Too much time. She wants to save money for me to go to college, buy a house, and get married. She thinks that this is the only way to be worthy of my dad. She is too tired."

Rong Min nodded and listened quietly.

He knew that what Xie Jing wanted at this time was just a listener, and unnecessary sympathy and pity would only arouse Xie Jing's disgust.

Xu Shi's calf became numb after squatting for a long time, Xie Jing simply sat down on the ground, and he drank the can of beer dry in two or three gulps.

"My dad, actually, I don't really remember what my dad looks like. He left early, sometimes when I look at his photos, I think he looks like him, but he doesn't look very much like him."

Xie Jing looked into the distance with blurred eyes.

"My mother, others said that he loved me the most in the past, but sometimes I couldn't figure it out, how could he leave so early and make life so difficult for my mother and me."

"Maybe he doesn't want to either." Rong Min put his arm around Xie Jing's back, holding his thin shoulders, his warm palm conveyed the warmth through the fabric, Xie Jing felt that he had really supported him for too long, at this moment Especially greedy for such warmth.

"I said that my father died unexpectedly. Actually, he could still be saved at that time, but it would cost a lot of money for the operation. It was a lot of money. At that time, my mother couldn't bear it and fainted outside. , I was in the ward with my grandma, and my dad just took my hand, took my hand."

Xie Jing's throat rolled twice, this secret buried in his heart for many years, the last agreement with his father who was dying on the hospital bed, he said every word with great difficulty.

"He asked me to study hard, honor my mother and grandma well, and let my grandma take care of me."

The man on the hospital bed lost his usual high spirits. He had already realized that his life was coming to an end, so he burned out his last remaining light and entrusted him to his most worried wife and children before he died.

Noticing the moisture in the corners of his eyes, Xie Jing quickly buried his face between his arms, he didn't know why he couldn't help but say this to Rong Min, as if a hand was pulling out something that was tightly pressed by him.

"My mother doesn't know until now. It's because he doesn't want to be treated. They think I don't remember, but I do remember, I remember."

This is the secret he dared not say for so many years. His father held his hand tightly and touched his face. The red blood stains rubbed against his body, with a strong fishy smell, until he swallowed his breath completely. , his father still refused to let go.

Xie Jing's curled up body trembled slightly, like a drop of water hanging on the tip of a leaf, Rong Min looked at him with pity, wanted to reach out but didn't dare to touch him, for fear that he would just slip down like this.

Xie Jing let the tears fall drop by drop on the concrete floor, blurring the dark marks, and he still spoke with a strong nasal voice, "Sometimes I feel that I hate him. If it is cured at that time, in case Has he been cured? My mother won't be so tired now. He left all the burdens on us. But I also know that it can't be his fault. He wants to leave the money for us to live on. .”

This is a father's last bit of effort for his family, so that his wife and children can continue to live.It's just that this man has no time to think about it. In a short period of time, his child will be forced by life to lose his childishness, grow up quickly, and bear the pressure that his peers rarely bear.

Rong Min pulled the huddled Xie Jing into his arms, and gently covered Xie Jing's eyes with one hand, feeling a few drops of liquid wet his palm.

He silently listened to Xie Jing's description of his life from childhood to adulthood, and he pictured a little boy in his mind, his black and white eyes were always shining, and his unrestrained smile could hold the sunshine of the whole summer. Forced to grow up quickly, he suppressed the smile on his face and became silent and humble. Only those eyes could occasionally see the light like last night.

Xie Jing said a lot in a daze, only to realize later that he was crying in front of Rong Min, and felt so ashamed that he couldn't bear it, and he insisted on turning his back to wipe his tears.

Rong Min let go of his hand, looked at his wet palm, lowered his head and licked it, the salty taste permeated from the tip of his tongue, and spread all the way to his heart.

He frowned, pressed his chest, and suddenly didn't understand what this painful feeling was.

Xie Jing wiped away his tears, and when he turned around to face Rong Min, he was less embarrassed, "I called you out so early, I don't know if you have eaten yet? Let me treat you to dinner."

Xie Jing's red eyes and red nose are indescribably cute in Rong Min's eyes, he leaned forward and hugged him in his arms, rubbing his chin against his head and smiling, "Okay, let's eat. "

The faint tea fragrance of camellia lingered on the tip of his nose, Xie Jing's face suddenly turned red, he staggered back a step, he was so nervous that he began to stutter, "Then, what, me, where shall we go for dinner."

Rong Min put his shoulders on him naturally, "Today, let me treat you today."

Xie Jing: "That's great!"

"Didn't you invite me before? Isn't it normal for me to invite you this time?" Rong Min said while throwing the beer can into the plastic bag, pulling Xie Jing to stand up.

"Then what, let me invite you, I..." Xie Jing still wanted to struggle, but Rong Min took his hand and walked forward without looking back, "Hurry up, the security guards will come to chase people away later."

"Then, don't pull me!"

"Hey, that's the way to go fast."

…………

A few days later.

Xie Jing sat cross-legged on the ground, eating an apple while doing English

After answering the phone, Liu Xuejuan came out of the kitchen and sat on the sofa.

Xie Jing glanced at her and asked, "What's wrong?"

Liu Xuejuan knew that she couldn't hide Xie Jing, this child was too careful.Reaching out to touch his hair, he sighed softly, "Your grandma just called."

When Xie Jing heard this, his brows were immediately knit together, "What is she calling again!" Xie Jing was really annoyed that his uncle's family and his grandma came to the door several times, and he didn't speak very well.

Liu Xuejuan patted his head lightly, "Don't talk like that, those are your grandma, uncle, and aunt."

Xie Jing froze his neck and said nothing.

"Your grandma called and said that your uncle and the others don't intend to borrow that money."

"Really?" Xie Jing quickly turned around to look at her.It is not easy to let go of the uncle's family who will not give up if they fail to achieve their goals.

Liu Xuejuan said: "Of course it's true. Your grandma even burst into tears. Your uncle was simply cheated. He was trying to save money. When I saw it, the house was still under construction! Now that the money has been paid, the development Shang also ran away and disappeared, and as a result, he didn’t catch anything.”

"There is such a thing!" Xie Jing heard that Apple couldn't care less about chewing on it. "Didn't they say they have no money? Where did they get the money and pay the full amount?"

Xie Jingke still didn't forget the look of my aunt when she came to the door and said to pay the full amount with a face of taking advantage of it.

"Your grandma has filled in all the pension, and the money for Xiaoyi's going abroad. Your grandma said that she has borrowed a lot." Liu Xuejuan's tone was flat.After all, it was a family, and she didn't want to see anyone having a bad life, but she couldn't do anything about it.

"Where is the house so valuable?"

Liu Xuejuan said disapprovingly, "What's so expensive? The house in the center of the riverside is only more than 100 million in full. It was your uncle and aunt who saw that it was so cheap, so they gritted their teeth and bought two sets."

As a result, the pie that fell from the sky did not let them taste the sweetness, but knocked their whole family unconscious.

Xie Jing laughed unkindly, Liu Xuejuan gave him a warning glance, Xie Jing didn't restrain himself.

He had no choice but to turn his head to look at the scenery outside the window. The warm sunlight brightened the whole world. He took a big bite of the apple in his hand. It felt a little sweeter than before, and the more he ate, the more delicious he was.
