The night in late summer also gave this remote Jiangnan town a hint of coolness.

Shallow and careful to put on Surh's coat, Surh felt warm and looked at him sideways, but still could not help but say "thank you."

Shallow also shook his head, and then to pull the luggage, Sue looked at his tall and straight back, only feel mixed feelings at the moment.

The door of Su River is not difficult to find, but when she stood in front of it again, she felt strange. After all, I haven't been back for nine years.

"Xiao He," Asa patted her on the shoulder, "aren't you going in?"

Su He hesitated to reach out, but suddenly someone opened the door from the inside. Familiar eyebrows, but a lot of white hair is added to the head, as if wrinkles have deepened a lot.

"Mom ..." It may be that the name has been called out for too long, and Surh's voice is inappropriately dry.

Mom was dazed, and it took a long time to answer: "Xiao He, didn't you say you would come back tomorrow?" It is so late today ... "

"Aunt, Xiao He can't get used to sleeping in the hotel outside. I want her to come back and have a good rest." Shallow and timely help the embarrassed two people.

Su He looked at him gratefully, but met his gentle eyes.

"Hey, then hurry up ... hurry up and go into the house. Your father is also at home. "

Su He nodded, shallow also carrying luggage, holding Su He cold hand in one hand, two people together into the door.

Although nine years have passed, nothing has changed in Su He's small yard. Besides, it seems that such a quiet town cannot be changed.

Father was drinking tea in the yard when he saw the two men obviously taken aback. The teapot in his hand was crooked, and hot tea spilled on the back of his hand, but he didn't feel any pain.

Sue he saw this scene, some want to laugh. Can a father who was so alert in those days be so crazy now?

"Small grain came back, still not quick to cook! Remember to cook more delicious food. "

"Good, good." Father hurried down to the kitchen. Su He felt incredible. Mother scolded his father: "He ... can cook?"

"If it weren't for your poor health, you wouldn't retire so early. You must do something at home all day, "mother explained." "Your room would have been cleaned. Go and have a look. "

Su He nodded and walked to the end of the room. When the incandescent lamp is turned on, the scene in front of you is like an old photo, which is a little clear.

Pink wallpaper, beige single bed, photos taken before 16 years old, desk leaning against the corner of the room, with unfinished comic books piled on it ... Everything seems like 9 years ago, as if I haven't been to this hut for a long time.

"The room is very warm," Shallow also stared at the photos on the wall and said with a smile, "Was it the same when I was young? Very cute. "

"Don't look, when I was a child, I was so ugly ..." Sue couldn't help but stretch out her hand to block those photos, but she was caught by the shallow and held it in her chest.

"Am I the first boy to enter your room?" He asked with confidence.

Su He was stunned and didn't know how to answer. At this time, her mother's voice came from outside: "Xiao He, the meal is ready, come out quickly."

"Right away," Su He said, taking his arm. "Let's go to eat."

I didn't answer this question when I arrived.

Dinner is a home-cooked dish, but it seems to be carefully prepared. The dishes are indeed much richer than they were nine years ago.

Father poured Asa a glass of beer, but Sue snatched it away and drank it. Mother was taken aback but said nothing. She just stretched out a hand and gave her a smooth back.

"Blackie, have you suffered a lot outside these years?"

Sue and tuo red in the face, she chuckled, "mom and dad, I contact you for the first time that day? I'm getting married. I'm not kidding. This is my fiance. We have known each other for five years. He is a designer. He is very kind and kind to me. So I came back this time to tell you that I'm getting married. What do you think? "

"Wo, we ..."

Su He waved his hand and interrupted him: "You're sure there's no problem. His father is not a criminal, his family is not bankrupt, and it won't bring me any disaster, so you won't object ... "

"Xiao-he," the father began with difficulty, "as long as you like it, we won't have any opinions."

"I like it?" Su He head groggy, but I still heard his words, but this sentence is the biggest joke to her, "Are you kidding, do I like it? I like the most humble and powerless thing in the world! "

"Will, don't talk to your dad like that. We are all very happy that you are getting married. "

Sue and took the beer and drank it one after another. She looked at the two people opposite coldly, as if watching a farce.

Shallow also frowned and grabbed the beer in her hand: "You are drunk."

"I am not drunk." Sue is going to catch the bottle of wine again, but his steps have begun to falter.

Shallow also took her thin shoulder and said, "Uncle and aunt, Xiao He is drunk. I'll take her to rest. She only said those words when she was drunk. Don't worry about it. "

"My daughter, can I not know what she is thinking?" Su He's mother sighed. "Forget it, let's talk about it tomorrow."

Shallow also helped Su He walked to the room. Su He was famous for "drinking one cup". He usually wouldn't let her drink it, but she didn't expect to drink so much as soon as she got home.

He put Su He on the bed and tucked in the quilt carefully. Su He's reddish cheeks look particularly lovely in the light. Shallow also brushed her cheek, but met a drop of hot tears.

Su He moved uneasily, and then shouted a shallow and familiar name: "Jia Rui ..."

Shallow and shocked, how many thoughts can condense cold wine into tears?

That night, Sue had a dream. Dreaming of the person I haven't dreamed of for nine years.

At that time, she was only in grade three. The students in the class are all lazy, and the duty is pushed to her. As soon as school is over, everyone slips away. Su He spent more than an hour cleaning the whole classroom. She was tired and hungry, and her heart was full of grievances. At this time, Shen Jiarui appeared. He wears the most common white shirt on campus, but he easily looks better than others.

Su He didn't know why he was still at the school gate and hesitated to walk over. He heard him say impatiently, "Why are you so slow? I've been waiting for a long time, I'm so slow ... "

"I didn't ask you to wait."

"Hey, let's go." Shen Jiarui threw his backpack on his shoulder and turned to ask, "There is not much homework today. Don't bother me all the time when you ask at once. "

"Come to my house for dinner." Su He said in a flattering tone.

"No, I have to play games. Eating with you is a waste of time. "

"What, don't think that you are a genius can despise us ordinary people. Be careful to become Fang Yongzhong! "

"Is it Fang Zhongyong?" Shen Jiarui couldn't help their eyes.

Su He blushed and kept repeating in his mind: He is a genius, he is a genius, am I not bring disgrace to oneself compared with him?

Is twittering, hair temples suddenly more than a pink Bai Yutang, with the girl's delicate cheeks, sending out a faint fragrance.

"Hey, why are you stuck in my head? I don't sell myself to bury my father ... "

Shen Jiarui explained with a frown: "This was given to me by the girl in the next class, saying that there is something flowery in Bai Yutang. How do I know what flower language is? "

"Sure enough, it is still so popular with girls." Su He mused.

"What do you mean?"

"Hey, I'm back. I'm leaving first! " Su He intends to change the subject.

Shen Jiarui grabbed her schoolbag and threatened, "Hey, don't even say a chance to copy my homework."

"……"

"I think I need to talk to your mother about your failure in the weekly exam."

"Well, I did." Su He muttered a few words.

"Will it kill you to speak louder?"

Su He suddenly broke free from Shen Jiarui, jumped to the door and shouted: "I said that Bai Yutang Huayu is my son!"

Originally, I was going to run, but I didn't expect Shen Jiarui's beautiful eyebrows to wrinkle, and then he showed a pear vortex smile: "Reluctantly agree."

Hey? Su He was surprised, but was stunned by Shen Jiarui's dazzling smile.

Until today, she has never met such a person, and a smile will make her remember her life.

I woke up then. Su He stared at the ceiling, and the sun lit up the whole room, but it didn't shine in Su He's heart at all.

She got up, got dressed, stood in front of the dog house in the yard in a daze, left a note and went out without saying where she was going.

Mother looked at Su He and stared at the dog house intently, explaining, "Lele died last year. It's too old. "

Su He didn't speak, but leaned down and gently stroked the words engraved on the dog house: Mom Su He, Dad Shen Jiarui. She has forgotten when she wrote it. At that time, maybe she was only seven or eight years old. It took two children half a day to build a dog house. I remember Shen Jiarui looked at her with disdain when she was single-minded in lettering.

In a blink of an eye, it has been so many years.

"Xiao He," mother suddenly patted her on the shoulder. "There is one thing that your father has never asked me to tell you, but now that you are going to marry Asa, you should be able to put things behind you. Actually Shen Jiarui lived here for so many years ... "

"What?" Su He felt his heart suddenly stopped, and his heart ached.

Surh and Shen Jiarui were childhood friends. Although they live close, their homes are far apart.

Surh's parents are both office workers, and their families are ordinary and not well off. But Shen Jiarui is different. His father is a senior official in the city, and his mother is also a special teacher in the city high school. Shen Jiarui has never let them down since childhood. Whether it's Olympics or English, physics competition or math competition, as long as Shen Jiarui took part in the competition, he never won the second place.

Su He admired Shen Jiarui since childhood, and this admiration gradually evolved into love in the fermentation of years. Surh likes both Shen Jiarui's delicate eyebrows and dazzling achievements.

To use a disgusting metaphor, Shen Jiarui is like a beautiful scenery, stunning the whole young life of Surh.

Perhaps Su He mentioned Shen Jiarui too often, and her parents also saw some clues. At that time, it was Su He's senior high school entrance examination, and his grades were not focused on the city, but thanks to the help of Shen Jiarui's mother, Su He had the opportunity to go to school with Shen Jiarui.

Maybe because of this, or maybe Shen Jiarui is too perfect, so her parents didn't interfere in this matter.

At that time, the days were smooth sailing, so beautiful that Su felt that once he graduated, he could kiss Shen Jiarui hand in hand, get married and have children, and grow old together. ...

Every time I think about it, Su He can't help laughing, and Shen Jiarui rewards her with a blast: "Don't think about anything, do your homework carefully!"

"Oh, you are a genius. You are enough. "

"How do you know that I will marry you in the future?"

"I don't care if I don't care, anyway, I depend on you in my life!"

"Hey, don't suddenly lean over!"

Originally such a beautiful life was completely broken by a sudden phone call.

It was during the summer vacation. Sue and read comics at home. Suddenly someone called. She jumped over and picked it up. She heard the anxious voice of Shen Jiarui's mother on the phone: "Xiao He, Jia Rui had an accident. He wants to see you. Come to the hospital quickly. Come on. I'm afraid it's too late ... "

Surh's comic book fell to the ground with a bang. The smiling face of the hero on the cover was still bright, but she suddenly panicked.

On the way to the hospital, Su He kept praying that Shen Jiarui was all right, but God played a big joke on her. Shen Jiarui's injury is much more serious than she thought. Her leg was crushed by a truck. Although I had an operation, I still didn't feel anything in my lower body. When Su He went to the hospital, Shen Jiarui fell into a coma again. His father is comforting his crying mother. Sue he lay outside the intensive care unit, but he couldn't see the young eyebrows. He only heard from the doctor that he needed at least 500,000 yuan to cure Shen Jiarui, otherwise he would have to be in a wheelchair in his next life.

Now, Su Hehui said that even if she risked her life, she would earn 500,000. But at that time, she was only a 17-year-old high school student, full of fear for the future. The only thing she can do is to go home and ask her parents for some money, even if it's only nine Niu Yi cents.

What she didn't expect was that her parents didn't even give her a penny, and when her father arrived, he just coldly left a sentence: "His father is so high, there is no way."

Sue, he doesn't know if her father is right. All she can do is stay with Shen Jiarui day after day. Her teenager is now terribly thin, sleeping most of the time and waking up occasionally without saying a word.

Sue he also dare not say anything, because she was afraid that a little blow would crush Shen Jiarui.

However, God did not care for Su He in the end. Soon after, Shen Jiarui's father was denounced by others and sentenced to 30 years in prison. His mother was also sentenced to prison for possessing illegal money 10 years.

Su He knew that everything they did was to raise money to treat Shen Jiarui, but the law, whether Shen Jiarui was seriously ill or in a hurry to use money, just pushed Shen Jiarui to hell with a light sentence.

It was at that time that Shen Jiarui began to have suicidal thoughts. He asked the nurse for some sleeping pills on the grounds that he could not sleep well at night. He asked for it every few days and saved it dozens of times in less than a month. He swallowed it without nostalgia, but was rescued because Su He found it in time.

The moment I woke up, there was no joy in Shen Jiarui's eyes. He said to Su He, "Why did you save me?"

"I can't let you die," Su He shook his hand almost imploringly. "Please don't leave me."

"Xiao-he, my parents can't accompany me, and my relatives can hide. Without medical expenses, I may be kicked out of the hospital soon. Even if I am lucky enough to survive, I will be a cripple in the future. I can't find a job, I can't take care of myself, and I will drag others down all my life, so I beg you, don't force me to live. "

For so many days, Shen Jiarui spoke to Su He so seriously for the first time. His voice was so gentle, but he didn't say sweet words, but he was deeply desperate for the world.

Su He knows that she has always been timid, but for the sake of Shen Jiarui, she must be brave once.

Su He took a clean deposit at home, which was only tens of thousands of dollars. She didn't know that it was accumulated by her parents for several years, and now Shen Jiarui needs money.

She went to the hospital to pay the medical bills she owed, and then dropped out of school, ready to take care of Shen Jiarui wholeheartedly.

During the whole process, Su He was particularly sober. After all, everything he does is for the people he likes. What's there to be afraid of? Perhaps the love when I was young is so uncompromising. Even if the road ahead is full of thorns, I will go forward regardless.

It's just that Su He didn't expect that the school didn't approve her application for suspension from school, so she informed her parents first. That day, she was feeding Shen Jiarui porridge in the hospital. Her father suddenly rushed in and slapped her and said in a voice that was almost growling, "Go home!" "

The bowl of porridge was finally spilled on Shen Jiarui's white hospital gown. Su He was dragged back to cry, and Shen Jiarui sat there motionless with a subtle expression on his face.

This incident soon spread all over the town like the wind and gradually went to extremes in malicious rumors. Compared with today, nine years ago, people were not only closed-minded, but also obviously despised puppy love.

Parents think that Su He humiliated them in this matter, and the school didn't let her go, just kept her at home to reflect.

Su He took advantage of his parents' work, secretly broke the window, climbed out and ran desperately to the hospital. She doesn't care what others say, as long as her teenager is fine, that's enough.

But the hospital told Su He that Shen Jiarui had been discharged from the hospital. Although his condition was unstable, he insisted on leaving the hospital.

Sue, he doesn't know where Shen Jiarui, who is in such poor health, can go. Later, a little nurse told her that when Shen Jiarui was in hospital, his parents came several times, and the sharp words deeply hurt the teenager's only self-esteem, so he left Su He without saying goodbye and left his once proud youth.

Shen Jiarui's departure declared that everything was no longer meaningful. Su He couldn't forgive his parents' behavior and left home that day. In the following years, she didn't call home, because as long as she thought of the ups and downs of the teenager Shen Jiarui in a corner of the world, she was so sad that she couldn't control herself.

Until my mother tried her best to contact Su He and told her that Shen Jiarui had died of illness. Su He stayed for a while, only to find that he finally had to face the result that he had been afraid to face for many years.

My parents broke up my relationship and I left home sadly. It was five years after I received the news of my boyfriend's death.

She wailed like a child and refused any comfort.

At the beginning, Su He and today's Su He overlapped, and nine years later, like a delicate piece of iron, all the edges and corners were ironed clean.

The place where she is standing now is the middle school where Shen Jiarui teaches, and there is a faint voice of reading in the classroom. Sue and she searched every office and stopped in front of an office.

"Call me when you have finished all the exercises on this page."

Familiar sounds and sentence patterns have appeared countless times in Surh's long teenage years. She leaned against the office door and her eyes suddenly became red.

"Miss Shen, I really don't want to do these math problems. I have no way to start. "

"If you do it seriously, you will always succeed. If you don't do this, it will be solved. "

"Really, Mr. Shen is really something. No wonder so many girls in the class have taken a fancy to the teacher! "

Sue and her eyes moved, and she couldn't help smiling. So popular.

"You children, what's the use of me?"

"It's true," the girl stressed. "The teacher is beautiful and teaches well. Although his leg ... so what? Everyone likes teachers. "

Shen Jiarui smiled and said, "What kind of child's idea is this?"

"Why do you say that? The teacher is not that old. Isn't there someone the teacher didn't like when he was a student? "

The room suddenly fell silent. Just when Su He thought he wouldn't answer, I heard him gently say, "Why don't I like it?"

The girl suddenly became interested and asked, "Who is it?"

"We have known each other for many years. Although I haven't spoken, I really really like her. At that time, I took it for granted that I could give her happiness easily, but then my leg was injured, which not only failed to take care of her, but also made her suffer a lot, so I finally left her. "

"Isn't that a pity?"

"After all these years, I figured it out. To me, she is like a precious past, and I can never turn back. For her, I can light up the temporary darkness, but it won't be a lifelong harbor. When you are young, you will always be too obsessed with one person, but in the end, it is often not this person. "

"So if she comes back to the teacher, will the teacher be with her?"

When Su He heard this question, he felt that he held his breath at once, but unexpectedly, this time Shen Jiarui's answer was particularly simple: "No, she should have her own life, and so should I."

Sue saw the man's warm smile through the window, as if time had never left a mark on his face. She raised her hand, but in the end she didn't push the door and walk in.

Shen Jiarui, after all these years, I always thought it was good that you were happy, really.

Then it doesn't matter how hard I try.

When Su He got home, it was already dusk.

Shallow is waiting at the door, see her back to meet up immediately.

"Little black, where have you been? My mobile phone couldn't get through. I don't know if I will be worried? "

Su He seldom saw Shao anxious, so he couldn't help laughing: "Why are you in such a hurry? I won't lose it. "

Shallow also said hesitantly: "Xiao He, I heard menstruation talk about some of your past events today."

Su He smiled stiffly, but still said, "I'll tell my mother that I lied to her about getting married ..."

Shallow also interrupted her words and smiled: "Xiao He, don't forget that we met because of him."

It was five years ago, and Su He had just learned the news of Shen Jiarui's "death". She was caught in the rain all night. She fainted in the street and was taken to the hospital. Asa took care of her day and night in the hospital because she had no family. That night, Su He kept calling Shen Jiarui's name. Shallow also guessed that she must be a very important person, otherwise it would not be sad as if she had lost the whole world.

Later, they gradually became familiar with each other and were deeply attracted by Su He's tenacity, kindness and optimism. Later, Su He never mentioned Shen Jiarui again. Shallow thought it was just an episode, so I never asked again.

But last night, Su He acted as if he had never forgotten the man, so he asked his aunt and learned that they had such deep feelings. So this time, will he lose?

"Shallow also. I don't know how to tell you, I think I need more time. " Sue lowered her eyes. "I'm sorry."

"Never mind, we still have a long time." Shallow also smiled and took out the bundle of Bai Yutang has been hidden behind him. "Aunt said that roses are your favorite flowers, so I went to the city to buy them."

That beautiful and lovely bunch of wild roses, with glittering and translucent water drops hanging on the petals, looks like that precious memory many years ago.

Sue and looked at the shallow and gentle eyebrows, and there were too many regrets in her heart. This man stayed with her silently for five years and never forced her. Even if she lied about getting married this time and wanted to anger her parents, he never refused her.

Give her all care and shelter when she needs him. When she didn't need him, he retired from the background and suffered all the loneliness and loneliness.

If Shen Jiarui, like the sun, surprised her young years, then it was just a bright moon, softening her lonely years.

"Do you know the flower language of wild rose?"

See shallow also embarrassed to nod, Su He slightly evoked corners of the mouth, suddenly red eyes. Original title: "Two People"; Author: The last month of summer
