The Wind Blows Fallen Leaves Chapter 33
byGame 4
Shen Luo returned home with Yue Yue. When he opened the door, the lights were still on in the room. His cold hands and feet slowly warmed up, and he stood there helplessly leaning against the entrance.An Yu came out of the room, her hair a little messy, and the red bloodshot eyes were particularly obvious. When he saw Shen Luo standing obediently in front of him, the tension in his heart was finally released at that moment.
“Why did you just come back? I didn’t answer the phone. I’m really worried.”
“I’m fine.”
This is what Shen Luo said most often, not only to others but also to himself. It seemed that everything was fine after he said it. An Yu didn’t take his words to heart, she just felt that he was being coquettish towards her.
An Yu held his face in the palm of her hand like a handful of cold water. When the cold air on Shen Luo’s face evaporated with the temperature of An Yu’s palm, both of them heard and felt the other’s wildly beating heart.
At this moment, the two of them have become craftsmen, holding a nail called “Lover” and hammering it in hard. As long as their hearts are still beating, they are still together.
“How can it be okay?”
The fragrance of An Yu’s body tightly surrounded Shen Luo. The strength he had gained along the way was shattered into powder at this moment. His tears had no sound, only the grievances he had hidden for so many years.
“I feel depressed, I don’t know why, I don’t understand?”
“You will understand it later, you will always understand it later.”
An Yu took him back to the room, took off his coat, covered him with a quilt, and said softly: “Have a rest for a while. I’ll call you when it’s time.”
“Don’t forget it.” Shen Luo grabbed his hand and told him again and again, for fear that he would not wake up after falling asleep.
“Can you turn off the light? I don’t like the light on. I won’t be able to sleep.”
“Okay.”
An Yu’s right hand was tightly grasped in his arms, and it was difficult to move forward or back. He had to arch his back and stretch out his long legs to turn off the light with his toes. The whole room entered darkness again. After a while, the only sound was Shen Luo’s breathing, and the steady breathing hit An Yu’s palm. Within ten minutes, An Yu’s hands and legs became numb. After moving twice, Shen Luo’s grip tightened, and the two of them lay and sat motionless for two hours.
Shen Luo woke up just after seven o’clock. When he opened his eyes, he saw a pair of eyes. He was so scared that his whole body was numb and he subconsciously hid his face.
An Yu shook off his already numb hand and said with a helpless smile, “My hand has become inflexible because of your grip.”
“I didn’t mean it, I’m sorry.” Shen Luo covered his head and spoke much louder.
After saying that, his eyes leaked out. Naturally, An Yu didn’t blame him, but begged for compensation.
“I haven’t thought about it now. I’ll tell you when I think about it later.”
Shen Luo sat up, looked at him with an innocent face, and got in as if he didn’t realize it was a trap.
“Then you can’t ask for too much, otherwise I won’t keep my word.”
“It’s not up to you.”
It was already half past seven when the two were fighting. Shen Luo quickly jumped out of bed and saw An Yu still sitting on the ground motionless, so he urged: “Stop sitting and get up and pack your things.”
An Yu gave a bitter laugh and looked at him with a somewhat painful expression: “I think, after sitting here for two hours, my legs have stopped listening to me. Come and help me.”
Shen Luo threw the schoolbag he had packed far away. An Yu looked thin, but he was much taller than Shen Luo. Now that his entire weight rested on Shen Luo’s body, he was very tired.
Last night, Shen Luo tore up the registration form in anger. He was very cool at the time, but today he was worried and didn’t know how to explain it to Fei Zhu.
Shen Luo spent the whole day feeling uneasy, and Fei Zhu didn’t come to see him at night.
It wasn’t until the word competition was mentioned again that Shen Luo felt calm before he took the initiative to go to the office. Fei Zhu was busy making up the lesson plan and didn’t even eat dinner. Shen Luo shouted a report and came to Fei Zhu’s side quietly. He stood still for a while without being noticed. Finally, Fei Zhu felt a pair of eyes staring behind him and his scalp was numb before he noticed him.
“You came here without saying a word.”
“I saw that you were writing so seriously, so I didn’t bother you.”
Fei Zhu made a sound, waved his hand and said, “That won’t work with me. I have something to say.”
Then he continued to lower his head and sort out the lesson plan he had just written. Fei Zhu waited for a long time with his ears raised, but he didn’t wait for a word. He couldn’t help but look back at him. Shen Luo put his hands in his pockets and kept looking around. Fei Zhu gestured back and forth in front of him, and then called Shen Luo back.
“If you need anything, just say it. I’m still busy here.”
After much hesitation, Shen Luo finally spoke, “That’s the game I don’t want to go to.”
Fei Zhu immediately stopped what he was doing, folded his hands and his brain was running fast. He was silent for a long time and said: “Do you not want to go, or is it because of some external factors? How could you not want to go? I remember you were not cute before participating in such competitions? You won the prize every time, and you smile so happily in the photo. Why don’t you want to go when you get here this year? Do you have something to hide? Tell me and the teacher will definitely help you solve it.”
“I just feel that I don’t have the strength yet. I still understand the principle that there are people outside the world and there is a sky outside the sky. Instead of wasting time on uncertain factors, it is better to make good use of the limited time.”
After saying that, she didn’t dare to look up at him, already anticipating how ugly Fei Zhu’s expression would be. The bell that happened to ring saved Shen Luo’s life.
“Teacher, I’m sorry to let you down. I’m leaving now.”
Shen Luo’s eyes turned red the moment he turned around, and his shoulders slumped as if he had been defeated by a terrifying monster that kept fighting for his blood.
And the bent back made him no longer able to turn his heart to the sky, and he could only hunched forward on the road full of thorns.
