Chapter 42 The Goldfinch
Chapter 42 The Goldfinch
How could Zhou Shiluo remember that since Yang Jin asked this question, he was already humiliating himself.He should have understood long ago, when he saw Zhou Shiluo for the first time at the age of 12, Zhou Shiluo never paid much attention to people or things that he didn't care about, so why would he keep it in his heart.
He has such a temperament, otherwise how could he remember the big yellow dog and not him when they met again in the third year of high school.
After going through so many times, Yang Jin thought that he should have been immune long ago.But now when I hear it again, I still can't help being uncomfortable, sad, and helpless.
He didn't blame Zhou Shiluo, nor anyone else.
In the final analysis, I expected too much and imposed this feeling on the other party, hoping to get a response, but I forgot that no one would treat myself as a treasure. It used to be, it is now, and maybe it will be in the future.
Under Li Xu's ridicule, Yang Jin finally raised his head. He mustered up the courage to move his eyes from the hot pot to Zhou Shiluo's face, and forced a smile on the other side's hesitant expression. Trying to comfort each other, it's okay.
Zhou Shiluo was stunned to the side, his brain was in a daze, he could only look into Yang Jin's eyes subconsciously, suddenly a trace of sadness flashed in his heart for no reason, and it disappeared soon.He couldn't tell what kind of emotion this is, perhaps it is the empathy of characters that is talked about in film studies.
Thinking about it this way, Zhou Shiluo seemed to understand.He opened his lips slightly, wanting to comfort Yang Jin, but clumsily didn't know what to say.
Just as he was racking his brains, Yang Jin saw his helplessness and embarrassment, so he raised his hand and picked up a piece of mutton for him, then put down his chopsticks, and said softly: "Brother, I suddenly remembered that there is a ppt assignment that I didn't Do it, it will be handed in tomorrow morning, I will go back to school first."
Zhou Shiluo said "Oh", and quickly realized, he asked to stay: "It's still snowing outside, so it's not easy to take a taxi, or...I'll take you back after eating."
Yang Jin has already got up, he smiled: "I'm in a hurry, I won't eat."
Li Xu gulped down the meat without looking at it, but said farewell: "Brother, pay attention to safety on the road."
Yang Jin ignored him, glanced at Zhou Shiluo, and walked towards the entrance.
Zhou Shiluo was stunned for two seconds, quickly got up and chased after him, and grabbed Yang Jin's hand in desperation, "Why is the homework so urgent, I also have a computer here, why don't you use my computer to write after dinner?"
Yang Jin froze, regained consciousness in a blink of an eye, then gently pulled out the hand that was tightly held by Zhou Shiluo, and said helplessly, "All the materials are at school."
Zhou Shiluo saw that Yang Jin insisted on leaving and did not continue to force him, so he nodded and instructed: "Be careful on the road."
Yang Jin responded with a smile, took down the down jacket from the hanger, put it on and said, "Brother, you can go back to eat, there are still friends here."
After speaking, he pushed open the door.
There was only a "bang", and the closed door blocked the sight of the two of them.
Yang Jin put away his smile in an instant, he stood outside the door, not moving for a long time.It took a long time before he lowered his eyes slightly, staring closely at the hand held by Zhou Shiluo that still had the warmth of the other party.
Zhou Shiluo's fingers are very slender, each finger seems to be carefully designed by cartoonists.He recalled that these hands touched his face, touched his chest, scratched his back, and even grabbed the bed sheet for him.
And he also stroked and kissed her over and over again afterwards, without missing anything, and couldn't put it down even more.
He still can't figure it out, Zhou Shiluo obviously liked him at that time, it didn't seem like he was drunk at all.But he is just a coward, shrinking in his protective shell, not daring to think about it, let alone ask.
Yang Jin recovered from his memory, curled his fingers, turned and went downstairs.
Zhou Shiluo stood at the door, staring blankly at the doorknob. From the moment Yang Jin closed the door and looked back, he seemed to read the disappointment in Yang Jin's eyes.
Zhou Shiluo's heart ached, he was not stupid, he knew that this loss was brought to Yang Jin by him.He racked his brains to think about the things mentioned in Yang's mouth, and suddenly a picture flashed in his mind.
He seemed to remember.
Zhou Shiluo hurriedly picked up his coat and was about to go downstairs, but just as he put on a sleeve, Li Xu pulled it off when he got up to find him.
"What are you doing, the pot is going to burn dry."
"Just add water." Zhou Shiluosheng was afraid that Yang Jin would go too far, so he grabbed the clothes directly. "I'll go downstairs to see that kid. I don't know if it's snowing or not."
Li Xu is strong and strong, so he didn't give him a chance, he took a big step back with his clothes in his arms, and complained with disdain on his face: "You are not a brother who is just following your mind, besides, how old is that person, you have to let him He is used to being independent, so he will suffer less when he enters the society."
This is the reason, but Zhou Shiluo is still a little worried, maybe it is the guilt in his heart that is causing the trouble, so he simply doesn't wear clothes, and directly holds the doorknob.
Seeing this, Li Xu dragged him back forcefully, muttering sourly: "You never cared about me so much."
Before Zhou Shi could think about this sentence, Luo Xi quickly diverted the other party's attention, "If you are really worried, just look at the window in the living room and you can't see it."
Zhou Shiluo was stunned, thinking that this idea was good.He didn't dare to delay for a moment, and rushed over with a "whoosh".
He lived on a high floor, close to the street, and his living room faced east. From this position, he happened to be able to see the road conditions at the north gate of the community.Although there is more than one gate in the community, the north gate is the closest to Zhou Shiluo, and if you go through other gates, it will take a long circle.
When Zhou Shiluo passed by, he happened to see a figure getting into the car from behind, who looked a bit like Yang Jin.
"Isn't that called getting in the car?" Li Xu bumped Zhou Shiluo with his arm.
Zhou Shiluo hesitated: "Is it him?"
Hearing this, Li Xu put his arms around Zhou Shiluo's neck and led him towards the restaurant, "That's him, don't worry about it."
Zhou Shiluo said "um", thinking that it would be fine to get in the car, and let's talk about the other nights.
Yang Jin canceled the order and planned to order again.He stood stupidly inside the unit door for more than ten minutes without calling a car.
Although the unit door blocked a certain amount of wind, the temperature was still pitifully low. He shivered, tucked his neck into his collar, breathed into his palms, and rubbed them vigorously.
After waiting for another 10 minutes, but still no driver took the order, Yang Jin raised his head and looked out through the door glass.
The snow outside was falling softly, and it was extraordinarily white.Yang Jin stared blankly, lost in a trance, remembering the promise he made with Zhou Shiluo in his senior year of high school.
He suddenly came back to his senses, pushed the door out without thinking, and squatted down nearby to find an unobtrusive place.Then he stretched out his hand and grabbed a handful of snow, squeezed it in the palm of his hand, and after it was fixed, he grabbed another handful, and continued to squeeze it, making a ball.
Yang Jin enjoyed it, even though his hands were red from the cold, he didn't feel cold at all.Just like that, without much effort, a palm-sized snowman stood downstairs in Zhou Shiluo.
