My heart beats for you under the moonlight

Chapter 8 The building is empty

Su Xian didn't say he liked it, nor did he say he didn't like it. He buried his head in reading.

There is an extra pen on the book, and there is an extra voice, softly: "Send it to you."

Su Xian wanted to say no reward for no merit, but the other party had already prepared the next line: "You gave me such a precious egg, so of course I should give you something, otherwise my mother will tell me if she finds out. On the way here, I was still thinking about what would be appropriate to give you, and now this problem is finally solved."

Su Xian didn't dare to take it, thinking that the pen must be much more valuable than the egg.

Zuo Yueyao put the pen into her hand: "Take it, it's not a valuable thing. I have plenty of them at home."

After saying this, Su Xian accepted it with confidence, feeling that it was still a bit of an advantage, so he said: "When you leave, I will pick a basket of dates for you to take back to eat."

"Okay." Zuo Yueyao agreed briskly.

The two of them just read and did their homework without disturbing each other.

Zuo Yueyao found that this girl was quite serious when she was doing things seriously. Her eyes were fixed and her brows were furrowed. She was only in her own world, as if all the disturbances in the outside world had nothing to do with her.

After solving one question after another, Su Xian felt that his brain and eyes were a little tired, so he stopped, propped up his head and looked at the person opposite. Seeing that he was reading a book seriously, he was too embarrassed to disturb him. , so he held his head and looked out the window.

The windows in the village committee were not that good either. The glass had several cracks and had not been replaced. It was only held together with tape. Su Xian looked at the broken glass, which resembled his own heart at some point.

"You and your dad have always been like this?"

Zuo Yueyao, who took the initiative to speak, brought Su Xian back from his thoughts.

"It was fine before, but it has been like this since my mother passed away." Facing Zuo Yueyao, Su Xian suddenly didn't want to be secretive anymore.

"why?"

Su Xian touched the black pen and it felt so good: "Maybe he thinks I'm his nemesis?"

Zuo Yueyao was stunned for a moment: "Don't talk nonsense, where did you come from talking about a nemesis?"

"Maybe some people believe this." Su Xian shrugged nonchalantly, as if telling someone else's story: "When I was ten years old, one night, I suddenly had a cough and a high fever. My mother was so worried that she went out to ask for help in the darkness of the middle of the night. The village doctor accidentally fell into a ditch and hit the back of his head on a rock in the ditch. He died due to lack of timely rescue. My dad was working in a factory in the town at that time. When he got the news and rushed back from outside, my mother... The body is already cold."

Su Xian sniffed and slowly exhaled the tightness in her heart: "My father is a bit patriarchal, but he still feels sorry for my mother. After this incident, he put all the blame on me. Later, he started to like smoking and drinking, and when he was drunk, he would say some unpleasant things to me. I would be scared at first, but later, I wasn’t scared of anything anymore.”

"When he was twelve years old, he suffered from a heart disease due to excessive drinking. From then on, he was unable to do heavy work, and his temper became even weirder. Ever since the incident with my mother, the relationship between us has been incompatible. Later, when my body became like that, I even thought that I was a nemesis who came to this house to collect debts. After collecting my mother's debts, it might be his turn one day."

These ordinary numbers and dates were connected together into stories and accidents. Zuo Yueyao looked at Su Xian's bright eyes and gradually turned red. He thought her tears were about to burst out, but she didn't. I didn't even shed any tears, I just endured it.

At this moment, this girl's strength made it impossible to remain indifferent. He, who was so eloquent, didn't know how to comfort this girl. She should have been enjoying the love of her parents at an age, but she had to endure pain that outsiders couldn't see.

Zuo Yueyao wanted to go up and hug this girl, even like an older brother, but he restrained himself.

"Do you know Nanda?"

The previous topic suddenly stopped and turned to another place.

"I know." Su Xian answered quickly.

"Your academic performance is so good, you can take the exam to Nanjing University in the future. That school is on the edge of the Yangtze River. When you have nothing to do at night, you can sit by the river and look at the stars in the sky. They are particularly bright."

Su Xian blinked and heard him say again: "Really."

This is Su Xian's goal, but she is not sure whether she can pass the exam in the end, so she can only keep working hard.

Su Xian put the math problems he had finished in front of Zuo Yueyao: "Please check it for me."

Zuo Yueyao only looked at it for a while and then said, "Actually, many of the questions are the same. They just tested us in a different way. The ideas for solving the questions are almost the same. If you believe me, I can give you some answers in the next few days." Highlight the key points, and then tell you some ways to solve the problem."

"There are other ways to memorize other things. Although memorizing them by rote is okay, it will always be a bit tiring. I can teach you some easier methods."

What Zuo Yueyao said was also Su Xian's shortcoming. Most of the time, she did rely on rote memorization to complete her studies, so she always spent more time than others.

Now a free teacher suddenly landed, of course she was happy to see it happen.

Su Xian finally understood what it means that there is heaven outside the world and there are people outside the world.

Under Zuo Yueyao's guidance, I also learned what true excellence is, and this excellence is innate and incomparable.

With the guidance of an expert, Su Xian received enlightening help. In the next few days, she would take the initiative to run to the village committee as soon as she got up. Before running, she would put a few dates in her pocket and save them for others. Zuo Yueyao ate it.

This was the only thank you she could offer.

Because Zuo Yueyao said that dates are delicious and he likes to eat them.

The two of them stayed together all day, talking about their studies. Su Xian was quite satisfied with this free teacher, and Zhou Ling was also very optimistic about Su Xian's seriousness and persistence.

Looking at Su Xian's clean eyes, Zhou Ling touched her cold cheek with great affection, and asked with a smile: "If you don't dislike her, be my goddaughter."

Su Xian opened her mouth and didn't know how to answer. Zuo Yueyao answered for her: "I don't want a sister like this, she will be annoying to death."

Su Xian said nothing, feeling ashamed.

Zuo Yueyao has really been annoyed to death these days.

Zhou Ling patted Zuo Yueyao on the shoulder, scolded Zuo Yueyao as "stinky boy" and didn't mention it again.

On this day, Su Xian came to Zuo Yueyao on time again, thinking that he would sit in the office and wait for her as usual, but the office was empty.

Uncle Zhao happened to pass by the window, holding a thermos bottle in his hand, and Su Xian trotted over.

"Uncle Zhao, where is Zuo Yueyao?"

"I'm lying in the house. I think I've caught a cold. No, I'm going to send a bottle of hot water over."

Su Xian breathed a sigh of relief. She thought Zuo Yueyao left without saying hello.

Su Xian snatched Uncle Zhao's thermos bottle, otherwise he would have no excuse to sneak into someone else's house and knocked on the door. The voice coming from inside was a little hoarse.

Su Xian opened the door in response, and Zuo Yueyao was sitting on the bed putting on his shoes.

"Uncle Zhao said you are sick." Su Xian put the thermos bottle on the table and poured him a cup of hot water.

"It's okay, I just have a little cold and a headache. It will be fine in a while. My mother made a fuss and had to ask Uncle Zhao to take care of me."

Su Xian touched his forehead: "No fever."

"Well, I don't have a fever, I just overslept. Have you been waiting for a long time?"

"No, I just got here too."

"Then let's study."

"I'm not going to study today." Su Xian felt a little guilty: "Did I drag you down in the past two days?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? On the surface, I'm helping you, but actually I'm reviewing it myself. It's the best of both worlds, and there's no drag on it."

He is really good at comforting people...Does he still need to review the knowledge from the second year of high school...

"The vacation is almost over. We will go back tomorrow afternoon. We have to hurry up today."

Su Xian's mood, which had just felt a little better, suddenly dropped.

"you are leaving?"

"Well." Zuo Yueyao took the glass of water that Su Xian poured and put it to his mouth and blew: "The senior year of high school has a lot of homework. I originally had to make up classes during the vacation, but my mother said hello to the teacher in advance, so I could come out and be lazy. .”

Su Xian thought: It's not your mother saying hello to the teacher, it's the teacher who thinks you don't need to make up lessons at all.

Su Xian felt even more sad because such a separation made it impossible to stay.

So Su Xian was absent-minded during the lectures that day. Several times he wanted to pack up his textbooks and go home and lie down. But seeing that Zuo Yueyao was still as serious as ever, he felt embarrassed to be pretentious.

Su Xian had thought about it. She would get up early tomorrow and go up to the tree to pick dates. After picking up a full basket, she would bring it to him and then say thank you properly.

But when Su Xian got up early to pick dates and ran to the village committee, the building was empty.

"Girl, you're late. They left. Just half an hour ago, someone came and picked them up."

Uncle Zhao said something else later, but Su Xian didn't hear it clearly. He just felt that someone had hollowed out a piece of his heart, and it was empty.

We agreed to leave at night...

I promised to send a basket of dates...

And I promised to thank them...

She was also thinking about leaving a contact address so that she could write him letters or something...

Su Xian was feeling sad when Uncle Zhao suddenly thought of something and shouted to her through the tape-covered glass window in the office: "By the way, Xiao Zuo asked me to bring you something. He said he was leaving in a hurry so he wouldn't tell you. Goodbye, he said he would wait for you at Nanda."

"Oh, by the way, he also said that if you get admitted to Nanjing University, he will treat you to dinner and so on. Anyway, he just wants you to study hard and try to get into Nanjing University in the future."

Su Xian placed the basket full of dates at the door of the office, turned around and left.

I was extremely depressed along the way, and it felt like the past few days had disappeared in a blink of an eye.

The man named Zuo Yueyao appeared, but it seemed that he had never appeared before. He threw a pebble into the stagnant water of her life, stirred up some waves, and then disappeared.

So for several days, Su Xian blamed Zuo Yueyao for being ruthless and didn't even say thank you to her.

But later it was no longer strange, because Zuo Yueyao taught her a lot during the few days they spent together. She originally thought that such an outstanding person must be aloof and disdainful of being associated with people like her, but all the beauty was beyond captured her imagination.

In those days she was happy and full of hope.

For this reason, Su Xian worked harder than before.

Just for the Nanda that I miss so much.
