Chapter 23: Love

On the weekend, Huo Yan was going home to pick up some books and daily necessities.
The Huo family lives in a small courtyard corner building. This house is an employee welfare house allocated by his father's unit. The conditions are not good, but not too bad. A family of four lives in it, which is a bit crowded. Fortunately, both daughters are in college, and they don't have much time to go home.
Two years ago, the Huo family mortgaged a 70-square-foot house in the urban area for Huo Sinan. The reason was that her relatives could not afford to look after their daughter. In any case, they had to have a house next to them, so that Huo Sinan would have a future. Marrying into Fu's family makes it easy to talk.
Huo Yan occasionally heard his parents discussing such things at the dinner table.
However, according to her observation, the aunt of the Fu family was elegant, gentle, gentle and affectionate. When she was a child, she followed her sister to the Fu family to play, and the aunt made them buns. In her impression, Fu Shihan's mother was definitely not what her mother said...will look down on her daughter-in-law because she doesn't have a house.
As for Fu Shihan's father, he was serious and reluctant to speak up, and there was a sense of anger between his brows.
Fu Shihan's iceberg poker face on weekdays is exactly the same as his father.
Huo Yan absolutely does not believe that parents like this family will treat their sister badly in the future. On the other hand, she looked at her parents, snobbish, stingy, greedy for vanity, and full of vanity.
Although sometimes she is slow to respond, she is not a fool. It can be seen that her family is not worthy of Fu Shihan's family.
No wonder Fu Shihan himself said that he didn't like his sister.
Sure enough, is it because the parents are passionate about themselves.
Huo Yan sighed at the dinner table.
At the same time, she heard her father sigh heavily. Huo Yan raised his head and looked at his father, his father's face heavy and depressed.
As soon as Huo Yan entered the house today, he discovered that his father's condition was not right.
Her gaze fell on her father's wrist, and she suddenly asked, "Dad, where's your watch?"
Before the father could speak, the mother said lightly, "Dang it."
"Did it!" Huo Yan exclaimed: "That Rolex watch was left to Dad by grandma before she died. How can we become it!"
"When you do it, there are so many reasons." His mother rebuked Huo Yan impatiently: "Isn't it just a watch. I didn't get 30,000 yuan. What's so rare."
"It's not about money, it's grandma. Grandma said when she left, she said she should cherish this watch. This watch went to the battlefield with Grandpa..."
Before Huo Yan finished speaking, her mother interrupted her: "What are you excited about? Even if you want to pass the form, it will be passed to your sister. What does it have to do with you."
"Enough!" Father suddenly interrupted his mother: "You still mention Huo Shinan, if it wasn't for her, my watch could...Oh."
He took another sip of boring wine to himself, and his words were blocked again.
With only a "pop", Huo Yan's chopsticks were pressed heavily on the table by her.
"I remember, there are still classes today, I will go back to school first." Huo Yan did not wait for his parents to react, got up and carried his schoolbag, and slammed out the door.
The parents looked at the back of Huo Yan leaving in amazement. This was the first time they had seen her make such a big fire.
"I blame you." The mother glared at his father: "What's the trouble, you don't know, this girl is a wooden fish that can't sound to anyone, except for her grandmother."
The father said angrily: "The old man becomes a watch to buy birthday presents for his son-in-law, what a worldly way."
"Not for the sake of your daughter's future lifelong happiness, let alone a Rolex, even if Si Nuan wants the stars in the sky, you have to pick it!"
The wind in the autumn is icy and cool, rain is floating in the air, and a gust of wind will fly the few remaining leaves on the dead branches and throw them towards the sky.
Fu Shihan had just finished class, habitually came to the third canteen, took his umbrella, and walked to the window where he was serving food: "Monk, where is Huo Yan."
Xu Mingyi said leisurely while serving her classmates: "She has resigned."
"I know, did she come over for dinner."
"This window only provides services related to cooking, and the charge for inquiring about information is extra, 10 yuan per minute."
Fu Shihan slammed a fist on the window glass and roared angrily: "I'm asking you the fuck, she's the one!"
Xu Mingyi looked up in astonishment, and found that Fu Shihan's face didn't seem to be right, and his eyes were bloodshot, looking a little hideous.
He looked down and saw that his fists were clenched, and the joints were all white.
Xu Mingyi is a clever man, and she simply suppressed her smile and said, "Forget it, tell you, at this time, she usually does charity in the garden behind the cafeteria."
Fu Shihan took the umbrella and turned and rushed out of the canteen. Xu Mingyi was secretly shocked. He had never seen Fu Shihan's gaffes since he met him.
In his impression, although Fu Shihan was a little younger than the four in the dormitory, he was the most mature and stable one in terms of his mind and life. With strategizing, there are no problems in this world that he cannot solve.
That little girl could make Fu Shihan, who has always been a self-proclaimed gentleman, burst into swear words.
Ability.
Xu Mingyi called Shen Yuran, and if he remembers it correctly, Shen Yuran should be in the same class as Fu Shihan.
"Fourth, what's the situation?"
"It's rare that your kid speaks normally today and doesn't pretend to be coerced." Shen Yuran on the phone raised her tone: "I was scared by that guy."
"Stop talking nonsense, tell me quickly."
The soul of a man's gossip is burning up, no less than a woman.
"In the C language class just now, the fourth child received a text message and stood up from his position with a squeeze. His whole face was as cold as the Antarctic glacier, which shocked our professors. Scared."
Xu Mingyi raised his eyebrows: "Fu Shihan never ignored his mobile phone when he was in class. The text message came, and he didn't see it when he saw it. The good students are strong."
"Yes, but as soon as the text message came in, the guy only glanced at the screen, asked the professor for leave, and rushed out anxiously."
Shen Yuran paused, and then asked Xu Mingyi: "Who sent the text message? Let our decent student council chairman skip class."
A smile appeared at the corner of Xu Mingyi's mouth, and the final voice raised: "Want to know?"
"miss you!"
"Exclusive information, charge 20."
"Fuck off!"
...
After gagging, Xu Mingyi hung up the phone, thinking of Fu Shihan's anxious appearance just now, he couldn't help shaking his head and muttering: "The sea of ​​suffering is boundless, good is good."
Fu Shihan took out the phone. The screen of the phone was splashed with raindrops from the umbrella eaves. He wiped the water droplets with his fingertips and looked at a line of text messages on the screen
"Fu Shihan, can you lend me some money."
He knows Huo Yan's character too well, if it hadn't been driven to despair, she would never ask him to borrow money.
It has not been before, and it will certainly not be there in the future.
Running out of the canteen in one breath, across the quiet tree-lined stone path, the autumn breeze gusted with cool raindrops.
Fu Shihan kept making calls one after another, but she stubbornly cut off every time she connected.
An unprecedented flustered mood enveloped Fu Shihan, his always calm heart was full of waves, this feeling made him irritable, made him lose control, and his brain could no longer calm down. At this moment, for the first time in his life, he realized what it was like to feel anxious.
"Answer the phone, it, answer the phone!"
He threw the phone and hit it the gravel road, splashing water.
At this moment, he saw a girl squatting on the side of the road under the green shade not far away, hugging her knees, and buried her small face in her knees.
There were a few stray dogs in front of her, spinning around her, sometimes rubbing her legs with her nose, and one of them was rolling in the puddle in front of her, seeming to make her happy.
Seeing a stranger coming, the stray dogs rushed away, but did not dare to go far, so they could only hide in the grass and watch Fu Shihan defensively.
Fu Shihan walked up to her holding the umbrella and looked at her with pity.
When Huo Yan heard the movement around her, she slowly raised her head and slammed into Fu Shihan's deep brown eyes with still water.
He was standing next to her holding an umbrella, a few drops of rain slipped between the sharp jaws, and he pressed his fine eyelashes down to stare at her.
Huo Yan had never seen Fu Shihan's complicated eyes.
Unbearable, heartache, love...
She turned her head again and rubbed her eyes vigorously, trying to rub away the teardrops from the corners of her eyes, her eyes were dry and dry, and they became more and more red.
When Fu Shihan saw her such a pitiful appearance, she was like a little cat who had been wronged and hid alone and licked her wounds.
The rain was much lighter, sparsely floating in the wind, and dispersed by the wind.
Huo Yan caught a glimpse of the phone he had thrown on the ground, and quickly got up and ran over, picking up the phone.
The fuselage was covered with mud and water stains.
Huo Yan took out the white tissue from his bag, carefully wiped the phone for him, turned on the lock screen button, and checked for damage.
The moment the screen was turned on, she was quickly withdrawn by a hand behind her, so that she could not see the screen saver.
For a dazzling moment, I saw it as if it was a person.
Fu Shihan stuffed her mobile phone into her bag, calmly asked her, "Why don't you answer the phone."
Huo Yan lowered his head slightly: "You have not seen that text message, okay."
Huo Yan was stunned at that time. He didn't think about anything. He just wanted to redeem his grandma's Rolex as soon as possible. On impulse, he sent a text message to Fu Shihan.
In this world, only he can help her.
But when the text message was sent in less than five minutes, she regretted it. This watch is worth a lot of money. At such a high price, she asked him how he could afford it!
She hated her incompetence, and her parents had no principles and bottom line to dote on her sister. Finally, she couldn't stand her emotions and ran to the garden alone to wipe tears.
Fu Shihan suppressed her throat, and asked her, "What happened?"
Huo Yan didn't speak, but shook his head vigorously.
Fu Shihan stretched out his hand to hold her thin shoulders, bent slightly, and kept looking straight with her.
"No matter what happens, you can tell me."
His voice is low, exuding reassuring power.
Huo Yan seemed to struggle for a long time, finally raised his head to look at him, and whispered: "I want to buy a watch."
Fu Shihan chuckled softly: "It's that simple?"
Huo Yan bit her lower lip, showing some pinkish white because of too much force. For a long time, she suffocated three words: "Rolex."
Fu Shihan was stunned. Although she didn't know why she wanted to buy such a watch, if she wanted it, even if it was the moon in the sky, he would take it off for her.
"Go back and take a shower and change into clean clothes." Fu Shihan held the umbrella in one hand, and walked back around her shoulder with the other hand: "Then we go shopping, do you think about what you want? Style, or do you need me to help you refer to it?"
"No." Huo Yan explained repeatedly: "I just want to redeem my grandma's watch, because the family is in a hurry for money, so I took the watch out, but that watch is grandma's beloved thing."
Fu Shihan probably also understood what was going on.
"How much do you need."
"Two... Twenty thousand."
"Rolex's watch is an old thing, it's only worth 20,000 yuan." Fu Shihan shook his head: "How urgent is your family to use money to sell it at such a low price."
Huo Yan's hand clenched his fist and didn't tell him that it was because Huo Si Nuan was too expensive, which forced his parents to sell the watch.
"I can write you an IOU, and I will pay it back!" She assured him.
Fu Shihan looked at her frowning little brows with a serious face. He stretched his eyebrows and smiled, and the tone contained a bit of joking: "It's already in five figures, what do you use for it."
Huo Yan lowered his head and said dejectedly: "I...I don't know, I can't make so much money now, but it will take a long time for me to make money in the future."
She gritted her teeth and felt for the first time that she was so helpless in front of the cruel reality.
"Forget it, I think of another way."
Looking at her stubborn appearance, Fu Shihan shook his head helplessly.
"Go back and take a hot bath. The shop should be closed now. At nine o'clock tomorrow morning, I will wait for you downstairs in your dormitory. Remember to be on time."
He turned and left after speaking.
Huo Yan was stunned for a moment, and stopped him: "I'm not kidding. Twenty thousand yuan is not a small amount. I really can't get it out for the time being..."
Recalling the appearance of seeing her wiping tears alone in the small garden, Fu Shihan felt a burst of cramps in his heart, a mere 20,000 yuan, not worth half of her tears.
"Then you owe it." He didn't turn his head, and said in a deep voice, "When one day in the future, maybe you can use something else to return me."
Huo Yan did not react, and asked: "What else can I use to pay it back."
Fu Shihan turned his face to the side, and Qingjun's profile looked deep and beautiful.
"Girl, you remember, you are not allowed to cry for money in the future."
