not dry

Chapter 14

42

When Chaoqian returned to the dormitory, he saw two suitcases piled up on the ground. Taishui packed their luggage and was bending over to sweep the floor, cleaning their dormitory for the last time.

"Shui Shui is so virtuous!" Chaogan boasted with a smile, "But don't we leave tomorrow evening? There is no need to be in such a hurry."

Tai Shui remained silent, as if he ignored his words, and continued to clean numbly.

Chaogan was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't pay much attention to it. He shook his palm in front of Tai Shui's eyes: "Silly Shui Shui, do you want me to clean it up for you?"

Hearing this, Tai Shui's footsteps froze, and the fingertips holding the broom trembled slightly.

Yeah, he's stupid, stupid.

Seeing that Taishui's expression was not right, Chaogan immediately held his hand, but unexpectedly touched a piece of cold, hot summer, but his hands were abnormally cold.

"Shui Shui?" Chaogan asked tentatively, suddenly feeling uneasy.

Tai Shui quickly withdrew his hand, but still did not respond.

After silently sweeping the floor and packing the garbage bags, Tai Shui went to the sink to wash his hands. At this time, he felt that the cold tap water had become warm.

After all, his hands were too cold, and his heart was even colder. The chill spread from the heart to the entire chest, and then flowed through the limbs and bones.

Suddenly, Tai Shui was surrounded by a wave of warmth, Chao Gan hugged his waist from behind, and his chest was pressed against Tai Shui's back: "Shui Shui, why is your body so cold? Is there something uncomfortable? ?”

Taishui trembled again.

Yes, he was not feeling well, the warmth that he was so greedy for was now causing him bursts of pain.

Tai Shui broke away from Chaogan's embrace, and said lightly, "Give me your mobile phone."

"Huh?" Chaoqian didn't know why, but since his wife had spoken, he obediently handed it in.

Afterwards, Tai Shui silently browsed the photos in the ultra-dry phone without saying a word.There are many photos of him in it, some were secretly taken by Chaoqian while Taishui was not paying attention, others were taken openly with Taishui in his arms, and there are a bunch of intimate photos of the two of them.

There are nearly 1000 photos in the album, Taishui flipped through from beginning to end, selected all the photos about himself, and then deleted them with one click in front of Chaoqian.

Chaogan was startled, and immediately took back his mobile phone: "Shui Shui! What's wrong with you?"

Tai Shui didn't answer, but pointed to one of the suitcases on the ground, and said in a flat tone, "All those things will be returned to you."

Their clothes were often mixed together before, but now Taishui sorts out each piece very clearly, and specially sorts out the gifts Chaoqian gave him, as well as their couple clothes, and puts them in Chaoqian specially. in the suitcase.

"What do you mean?" Chaogan's eyes sank, "Shui Shui, you...you want to break up with me?"

Suddenly, Tai Shui raised his eyes to look at Chaoqian. The clear black and white pupils in the past became dark and gloomy now, with too much sadness and joy in his eyes: "Chaoqian, do you like me?"

Chaoqian was actually a bit guilty when he looked at him: "When...of course I like to—"

"How many times have you said it?" Tai Shui interrupted him, "How many men and women have you said it to?"

Super dry instantly dumbfounded: ...

Taishui knows that he is not Chaoqian's first dating partner. In fact, Chaoqian has said "like" to many rice cakes. He has a romantic nature, and he seems to be able to say any kind of love words. He has a pair of affectionate peach blossom eyes It's so charming, and every kiss is very natural, like a superb actor.

His heart throbbed and hurt, but he couldn't cry because he was too watery. Instead, he smiled, without a trace of warmth in his smile: "It would be great if... if all this was true."

43

If only it were all true.

Hearing this sentence, Chao Gan's heart skipped a beat, and he finally understood: It seems that Tai Shui already knew about the bet.

A bet that was a joke for a while, started a game full of lies.

He was wrong from the beginning, so every time he looked at Taishui's smile, blinked his bright eyes, nodded and said "I will be good", Chaoqian was very disturbed.

He was flustered, afraid, restless, tossing and turning, he continued to lie in conflict, but on the other hand he really wanted to be relieved, and confessed to Tai Shui.

In fact, he thought many times about Tai Shui's situation after he knew the truth, would he cry and make a fuss?Or will he clench his fists, as Tai Shui said before, he can be fierce when he is angry, and he will beat him hard?

But at this moment, Tai Shui didn't cry or make trouble, there was no unnecessary expression on his face, and his tone was flat.

"I'm sorry, Shuishui..." Chaogan grabbed him, wanting to keep him, but didn't know what to say for a while.

Tai Shui struggled, and said coldly: "There is no 'Shui Shui' here, please let go."

His low voice was replaced by Tai Shui's cold attitude, the more Tai Shui wanted to break free, the tighter he held onto his wrist, his big hand firmly pinched his wrist, and his emotions gradually lost control: "Tai Shui, what do you think Returning those things and deleting all the photos, can it be treated as if nothing happened?"

Tai Shui didn't speak, he frowned, twisted his wrists, and silently resisted.

"You can't pay it off at all, it's all deleted! That's right, I'm a liar, but what about you? You've become a liar too. Where did you go behind my back? How much did you go to see Wuyou again?" Second-rate?"

He obviously didn't want to say such angry words, but at this time Chaoqian's mouth was uncontrollable, he became impulsive, and his hand strength continued to increase, until he pinched Taishui's wrist red.

Tai Shui bit her lower lip: "Yes, I went to see Sister Wuyou. She... is better than you, at least she won't lie to me."

Suddenly, Tai Shui remembered the scene of meeting Chaogan for the first time.

There was no romantic and dramatic encounter, and his acquaintance with Chaoqian couldn't be simpler.On the day the freshmen entered school, they were assigned to the same dormitory. Chaoqian, who arrived last at the time, took a look at Taishui, climbed up to the upper bunk with a smile, and said hello to him: "Hi, what are you looking at?"

Facing the head that popped up suddenly, with a head of dazzling yellow hair on it, he was so shocked that his glasses were a little crooked.

He was watching "Mak Cake Philosophy" at that time, but he was not interested at all. After that, he probably found that he was boring and boring, so he ignored him.

Later, Taishui was molested by Brother Wei. Due to the fight, his arms and knees were red, swollen and painful, and the first time Chaogan offered to show his favor was to help Taishui with medicine that day.

But it turned out that it was fake from that day on.

In the following days, every time Chaogan approached deliberately, he confuses Taishui with a gentle illusion. He is like weaving a net, and every densely packed thread involves Taishui's nerves. Too much water will hurt all over.Later, the net became tighter and tighter, and it was difficult to break free due to too much water, and I was about to suffocate.

After the surprise, sadness, fear and pain, Tai Shui only had great humor in his heart.

He thought that Chaogan would be different from those rice cakes who wanted to bully and play with him, but in the end he was wrong.

There were many red marks on the wrist, as if it was about to be pinched, but Tai Shui suddenly couldn't feel the pain: "I... don't want it anymore."

Don't want those photos, the gifts from Chaoqian, the same couple's clothes as him, and don't want those false memories.

What's more... don't want him anymore.

After hearing this, Chaoqian was startled, and then realized what he had done, and quickly let go of his hand.

Then, he let Tai Shui pick up his backpack, dragged his suitcase and left first.

44

Chaoqian had also been in love before, but the time he spent with those girls would not exceed three months at most.

Don't forget it, it doesn't matter if it is broken, how can you continue to post it after being dumped?

Chaoqian can't do such a thing as a hot face and a cold butt, and those girlfriend cakes in the past are not worth it.

Chaoqian seems romantic and affectionate, but in fact he is cold and indifferent. Most of his heart is occupied by family affection, followed by friendship, and the "love" he experienced in the past is shallow and tasteless, and there is nothing to miss.

But this time meeting Taishui was an exception.

After Taishui left, Chaoqian stood there blankly.

How long has the water gone? 3 minutes, 5 minutes, 10 minutes?

Chaoqian can no longer see Taishui, nor can he hear his footsteps, and of course he can no longer hug Taishui...

Tai Shui is usually indifferent, but in his arms, he would blush and shy, and cry softly. Only he can "bully" Tai Shui and make Tai Shui cry.Gradually, Chaoqian has a distorted sense of accomplishment, and whenever it fills him up, he will be excited and satisfied.

In fact, Chaoqian still wants to be with Taijiu for a long time, for a long time, and even thinks about marrying him, thinking that he will never get bored in this lifetime.

But Tai Shui said, don't want him...

Really... Really don't want him?

Chaoqian woke up suddenly, and immediately chased him like crazy.

"Too watery!"

"Shui Shui, Shui Shui!"

Not long after Tai Shui walked out of the school gate dragging the suitcase, he heard an all-too-familiar voice, his legs trembled involuntarily, and he didn't dare to turn his head.

Knowing that Chaoqian was chasing after him, Taishui tried to tell himself to calm down, but he still couldn't control it, and ran with his head buried.

Can you let...let yourself go?Don't... don't chase anymore, don't continue to pester.

Facing Chaogan's pursuit, Taishui was in a hurry to escape. Chaogan, who was waiting for the red light across the road, was about to lose sight of Taishui's figure, and felt more anxious, so he took a few steps forward.

Unexpectedly, at this time, a car sped past, ran a red light, and rushed directly to the side of the road...

Forced myself not to listen to what I didn't want, I quickly took a taxi and asked the driver to drive away.

Not long after getting in the car, his cell phone rang. It was Aunt Su Xin calling. She said anxiously: "No...it's not good! Xiaoshui, your grandpa..."

45

Tai Shui has been thinking that after he graduates, he will do a lot of things for his grandfather——

He wants to bring his grandpa to the city and live with him in a beautiful big house, so that he can support his grandpa, serve him tea and pour water to honor him at any time, and if he is not at home at work, he will also invite a nanny Take care of grandpa with bad legs.

Taishui also wants to help grandpa buy a lot of new clothes and take him to eat delicious food from all over the world; knowing that grandpa likes to watch cross talk and listen to sketches, Taishui also plans to take grandpa to the theater to watch and feel it up close.

If grandpa is unwilling to leave his hometown and go to a strange big city, then he will spend money to redecorate his old house.There should be more flowers and plants in the yard, with beautiful scenery in all seasons, and a dog and a cat, as well as parrots and small goldfish, to make the whole family lively and lively. I hope grandpa can enjoy his old age peacefully.

Unfortunately, none of these can be realized, because grandpa is going to die...

After nearly eight hours of driving, Taishui arrived at the northwest countryside overnight.

Grandpa's condition fluctuated before, and the small hospital in the country couldn't cure it. Aunt Suxin simply invited an expert doctor from the city to come over. It turned out that it was esophageal cancer, and it was already at an advanced stage.

Grandpa is also very aware of his physical condition. In the last days, he refused to go to the hospital desperately, insisting on staying in his old house until he died.Because his wife was also at this home many years ago, lying on their big carved bed, and now, he is finally going to accompany his wife.

For so many years, grandpa has no other relatives beside him, only Taishui, the unrelated grandson.

The lonely and helpless grandfather and grandson depend on each other, and the grandfather loves Taishui very much and relies on him for everything.Apart from being able to cook, he has no other skills, so he often cooks delicious food for Taishui. Even if it is simple rice and light tea, grandpa is very careful, making decorations in different ways, and the rice balls are also shaped into small stars. .

The other cakes scolded him for being stupid, saying that he was really stupid, why did he raise this child?He said that he looks like a white-eyed wolf at first glance, and he will definitely run away when he grows up, just like his shameless mother.

Grandpa didn't listen, instead he called them stupid, Tai Shui is his good grandson, he will be very promising when he grows up, and he will definitely come back and respect him well.

Facts have proved that grandpa is right, even if he is old, he is still a smart old man.

Grandpa, who is seriously ill, probably won't survive this night, and he won't be able to wait for the sun to rise tomorrow.

Tai Shui held Grandpa's hand, with a heavy expression on his face, Grandpa stretched out his hand to touch his face, and said with a smile, "Shui Shui, make me a roasted pork with potatoes, okay?"

Ever since he had difficulty swallowing and had a sore throat, Grandpa has never eaten meat again. He has always eaten liquid food, and he especially misses big fish and meat.

Tonight might be his last night of pastry, and he suddenly wanted to eat Potato Roast Pork made by Tai Shui, which was also the first meat dish he taught Tai Shui.

Now grandpa can't eat meat at all, Tai Shui wanted to refuse, but seeing that grandpa was full of expectations, he couldn't bear to refuse anyway, so he nodded.

After cooking the roasted potatoes, Tai Shui patiently fed his grandfather, but his grandfather coughed up blood while eating. Tai Shui felt distressed and wiped the blood from his mouth repeatedly: "Don't... don't eat it, Grandpa, don't eat it. Is it okay to eat?"

"Cough...cough cough! So...delicious...cough cough!" The grandfather with pale temples and deep grooves on his cheeks raised the corners of his mouth and smiled hard, "Shui Shui, made... Potato Roasted Pork... really...really tasty……"

Taishui's eyes were red, and the hands holding the chopsticks kept shaking, so he didn't continue to feed.

"Shui Shui, cough cough! Your... that yellow cake friend, I... I'm afraid... I won't be able to wait..." Grandpa said with difficulty. Before Tai Shui said that he would bring friends to visit him, he I also really want to see the "super-dry" in my good grandson's mouth, but...

"However, there is... still a chance..."

Grandpa thought, let Tai Shui take that friend to his tombstone in the future to have a look at him.

Hearing Grandpa mention Chaoqian, Taishui's heart ached even more, he choked up and said, "Okay, Grandpa, I will definitely bring him to see you during the holidays."

"Well, Shui Shui is the most obedient."

Taishui was crying, tears could no longer be controlled, his shoulders shook slightly, and he kept sobbing: I'm sorry, I'm sorry!Grandpa, I lied, you may never be able to wait.

Just like that, Tai Shui lay on his grandfather's bed and cried all night, and he fell asleep crying.

The next morning, the bright sun shone into the house, and the warm beams lit up the world.Another day, another beautiful and hopeful day.

When he was a child, his grandfather often told Tai Shui this way, teaching him to be positive and optimistic, to survive the dark night of pain and welcome the dawn of hope.

But now grandpa never opened his eyes again, and his body was still stiff and cold.

Afterwards, Tai Shui saw with his own eyes that his grandfather was pushed in and completely cremated. Grandpa would never laugh again, would not touch his head and call him "Shui Shui", but would turn into gray ashes. Blow, it's just like that.

After learning about Grandpa Taishui, Wuyou, who was more than nine months pregnant, also hurried to the village in the northwest.This is the place where she and Tai Shui grew up together, and she also received a lot of care from her grandfather when she was a child.

At the grandfather's funeral, seeing Tai Shui was unusually calm, Wuyou was worried instead: "Xiao Shui, you can actually cry, and you can also... Ah! My stomach..."

Before she finished speaking, her stomach suddenly felt cramped, "Ah, so...so painful..."

"Sister Wuyou?!" Tai Shui exclaimed in surprise, when he touched it, it was covered with blood, and Wuyou's amniotic fluid broke at this moment.

46

Tai Shui didn't care about other things, and hurriedly sent Wuyou to the hospital.

Outside the delivery room of the hospital, Tai Shui waited anxiously, sweat dripped from his forehead because of nervousness, but the phone vibrated again.

In the past two days, Chaogan didn't make a single phone call. On the contrary, Luye and Guihua made more than [-] calls one after another, as well as teachers and classmates from the school, but these calls were too watery to answer all of them.

Whether they cared about greetings, or wanted to talk about things related to Chaoqian, Taishui didn't want to listen to it now.

Seeing that Tai Shui was so worried, Tai Shui's father cursed and mistook Wuyou's stomach for being accidentally enlarged by Tai Shui: "Bastard! I told you not to have anything to do with dirty girls!"

Tai Shui turned a deaf ear to this, while Aunt Su Xin was always on the sidelines trying to persuade her angry husband. At the same time, she was also very worried about Tai Shui.

After a long wait, the cry of a child was finally heard in the delivery room. Every day there is a loss of life, but there are also surprises of new life.

Wuyou successfully gave birth to a boy, Cake, and the mother and child are safe.

Tai Shui took Wuyou's hand and smiled at her: "Sister Wuyou, I'm fine now, everything will be fine."

Wuyou also curled the corner of his mouth: "Yes."

Unexpectedly, as soon as Tai Shui walked out of Wuyou's ward, his exhausted and heavy body could no longer hold up, and he fainted on the ground...

In the past few days, Tai Shui tried his best to restrain himself from thinking about Chaoqian, but sometimes, the appearance of Chaoqian clearly came to mind.

His slender eyebrows, beautiful peach blossom eyes, tall nose and flirtatious lips, all of these are gone, and his dazzling yellow hair has become dazzling.

The custard smell emanating from his body, which used to make Taishui blush, has become a disgusting smell now.

Thinking of this, Taishui's stomach churned, and he began to vomit, and vomited it out...

The continuous blows made Tai Shui too much stimulated, he couldn't eat at all, and vomited whenever he ate, and now he can only lie on the bed and infuse nutrient solution.

After several days of continuous vomiting, he almost collapsed and lost a lot of weight.During the days lying in the hospital, Tai Shui felt that he was muddled and drifting, and he didn't know how many days had passed.

In my impression, it seems that many rice cakes have visited him: the gentle aunt Suxin with tears in her eyes; Tell him a joke; Luye and Guihua also came over, and Sister Wuyou hugged her youngest son, who also hooked his fingers with soft little hands...

It's just that there is no piece of yellow rice cake.

In the dream, the sounds of "Shui Shui", "Daughter-in-law", "Wife", the voices became farther and farther away, gradually becoming inaudible, and the piece of cake calling him became more and more blurred and blurred. more strange.

Two lines of tears slid down Tai Shui's pale cheeks, Tai Shui told himself over and over again: Forget him, forget him completely.
