I'm waiting for you in my memory

Chapter 65

When did the sky darken, she didn't care at all, it was clearly in the afternoon when she just turned on the computer.Situ Jue didn't take off his shoes, and lay on the edge of the bed, his mind was in a void after some kind of overload, as if he was in shock.It wasn't until the knock on the door woke her up that she sat up and found that the room was pitch black, only the monitor light in standby state was flashing a faint blue light.

The knock on the door became more and more rapid and heavy, like a drum before a war.Situ Jue subconsciously went to open the door, and standing outside was Aunt Yao, with one hand still hanging in the air.Aunt Yao today, although her relationship with Situ Jue has not become close, but after receiving a few lessons, she knows to be polite. Surprised.

"You didn't hear it after knocking for so long?" Aunt Yao said, "Your parents are back and tell you to go downstairs quickly."

Situ Jue's heart shrank suddenly. He had already seen her impatient father appearing at the stairs, and before he could see his face clearly, he felt his eyes dazzled, and his whole body suddenly lost its center of gravity. Half of his head and face were blunt. Half of it slammed heavily on the corner of the door frame when it fell obliquely.She didn't feel any pain at that time, but she was dizzy and couldn't see clearly when she opened her eyes. The old teak wood floor barely supported her door frame, and the feet standing on the side were spinning at a strange angle.

Situ Jiuan was born in the army, and he was very proud of his solid boxing skills. Most of his family and friends watched his impromptu performance of splitting bricks with one hand after dinner, and they always won a lot of applause.As the years passed, this kind of performance gradually became less and less. First, Xue Shaoping was tired of watching it, and he was not allowed to torment herself any more. In addition, Situ Jue secretly speculated that he might not be able to move anymore.She once found her father secretly rubbing medicinal wine on his hands after a certain heroism.Situ Jue didn't think much of his father's showing off of his brute strength, but he never thought that the slashing hand would greet her one day.He is no longer as powerful as when he was young, but it should be more than enough to rush forward to teach his own daughter a lesson. The slap was not so much a slap, but a "slap".

Situ Jue vaguely remembered the bricks that snapped in his father's hands, maybe it's not unusual for her to be killed by this blow.She heard her mother's sharp cry, "What are you doing, you obviously promised me to talk about things!"

"I just listened to you too much. I said everything well, and I couldn't bear to lift a finger from her. That's why I raised such a good daughter. Now I only regret that it's too late to teach me a lesson!"

Even though he couldn't see his father's face, Situ Jue could still imagine those eyes widened by anger, as if they could burst into flames.There is no impenetrable wall in the world, and bad things spread thousands of miles. She knew that this moment would come sooner or later, but she didn't expect it to be so soon, and she didn't even have room to breathe.This is also good, saving the fear of waiting.

She raised her head, just in time to see the hand that was raised again, and the sound of her mother's hurried footsteps was still far away, she had no way to stand up immediately, the pain of flesh and blood could not be spared.She was so stunned that she even forgot the last bit of self-protection instinct of closing her eyes.

This time, the expected "lesson" did not come true, and Situ Jiu'an's hand was stopped. A few seconds later, Xue Shaoping fell beside her daughter, screaming, and helped Situ Jue up with a half hug and half support.

"She wasn't born by you? Even if she murdered and set fire to her, you wouldn't do such a heavy hand. You kill her and the matter is settled?" Xue Shaoping's voice was no longer as calm and elegant as before.

"Killing her is just out of sight. Otherwise, she really thinks that she has grown up, has ideas, dares to do anything, and can do anything!"

Only then did Situ Jue see clearly that it was Yao Qiyun who held back Situ Jiu'an who was in a panic.Meeting his sight in this way, it can be described as having mixed feelings, but soon her gratitude and relief were replaced by deeper panic, because from his expression, she could read his heart, not to mention being Hit, he didn't even want to touch her.

Xue Shaoping wiped her daughter's face with the back of her hand, and yelled for Aunt Yao to get the gauze. Situ Jue saw blood stains on her mother's hand, and wiped it on her face indiscriminately. It was wet and shockingly red.

She must be ugly now, and even the first sentence she uttered was slurred and slurred.

"There is still an interrogation charge before the execution. You didn't even ask me a word?" She responded to Situ Jiu'an with the same anger, even though she was still shaking.In a way, this father and daughter are so similar.

"What else do you dare to say? Do you want to quibble or say those scandals again to piss me off? You have completely embarrassed me. If I hadn't happened to ask Professor Gao to talk about things today, I still don't know how well I can raise myself." You bastard!"

Situ Jue suddenly realized and nodded, no wonder, why did he come so fast, it turned out to be Professor Gao, no wonder it was such a "coincidence".

"You believe what he says? I am your daughter!"

"Professor Gao didn't say anything at all, but just persuaded me to open something. Like your mother, I happily thought that you were promising, and gave Situ's parents a face. It turns out that there are thousands of mouths out there making jokes." We, other people's hands have poked my spine. The photos are all sent to the company, and the victim wants to petition. This is endless! I said how can you be so cheap, my family owed you for more than [-] years What? You want to be with that...that hooligan who is about the same age as me...fortunately, he is still an expert professor, I can't even say it! I wish I had never given birth to you with your mother!"

Speaking of excitement, Situ Jiu'an couldn't help rushing forward again, but Yao Qiyun stopped him again without saying a word.

"Tell me, why did you do that kind of thing?" Xue Shaoping also looked at Situ Jue with tears in her heart.

"You all can't figure out why I would do this, and I can't figure it out even more." Situ Jue took his mother's hand back, and then cried, "I haven't done it, Mom, trust me, I haven't done it for you Disgraceful thing. I went to Zou Jin's house, but I was pleading for my classmate's matter, and I didn't even enter the house. Those photos are deliberately misleading. He never told me about the swap of grades from the beginning to the end, and neither did I. I only heard about it later!"

Xue Shaoping shook her head and said, "You... There is nothing between you and him. He is a professor and the leader of the academy. Why should he take such a big risk for no reason to benefit you, and not hesitate to trip up innocent people? Why would someone go to great lengths to frame you, why don't you just talk about it?"

"The whole thing was planned by Tan Shaocheng and Zou Jin's student Liu Zhisu. They have already figured it out, and Gao Henian must be involved! People like them will do anything to achieve their goals. Especially Tan Shaocheng, I know she has always hated me, she has been waiting for such an opportunity..."

As soon as he said this, Situ Jue realized that his defense was too weak and would only make him more isolated and helpless. Even Yao Qiyun frowned and looked to the other side, and there was no sign of approval in his mother's expression.

"You said that the girl surnamed Tan hates you. These are people who deliberately framed you. She was so poor that her father died and had no money to bury her. She deliberately lost her scholarship and exchanged her grades to harm you? If it wasn't for Professor Gao But if you go over and give her a hand, this girl probably lost her place in the National Insurance Research Institute. You want me to believe that she is willing to do this just to wrong you?" Xue Shaoping obviously couldn't believe it.

"Whether she did it on purpose, I don't dare to judge now. There is also a conflict between Liu Zhisu and Zou Jin. There must be something wrong between Gao Henian and Zou Jin. Zou Jin did the swapping of grades. He has something wrong with me. I don't think so, but I really have nothing to do with him, Tan Shaocheng and the others just took advantage of the results and made a big fuss..."

Xue Shaoping didn't wait for Situ Jue to finish, and sighed heavily, "You have nothing to do with him? Situ Jue, flies don't bite seamless eggs. I asked myself that I didn't slack in your education since childhood. How did I tell you? Have you forgotten? People are alive, poor or rich are not important, the most important thing is not to lose your personality. When did I teach you to use improper means to obtain things that do not belong to you? You even came out of a poor mountain village. Girls are not as good, at least they live with more dignity than you, you disappoint me so much!"

"This is all the result of your spoiling!" Situ Jiu'an snorted coldly.

"At this point, what's the point of arguing about it? The most important thing is how to deal with the matter well, so that the girl can't let the trouble go on. Let's make a mistake first, and if we don't think about it, I'm afraid it will become more and more difficult to deal with..."

"If people are willing to give up just for a little profit, the current situation will not happen at all!"

……

They start arguing.

Situ Jue's heart also began to slowly turn cold.

She finally recognized the fact that no one believed her, no one was willing to listen to her explanation.Even her dearest person...

Thinking of the person closest to him, Situ Jue shuddered.

She took a few steps forward to meet her father who was eager to slap her a few more times, and faced Yao Qiyun who was hiding his presence like a statue at dusk.

She looked at him expectantly, as if grasping at the last straw.

"You said, you trust me, you know I won't do that!"

She doesn't care how abrupt her actions are in the eyes of her parents. Others don't need to believe it, but he should see everything in his eyes.She may be spoiled or willful, but in these years, besides him, has there ever been anyone else in her heart?
Yao Qiyun was stunned for a while, then slowly lowered his eyelids.

"I do not know."

Situ Jue finally broke out, "You give me a reason, you just explain it to me, why did I do that, what did I do for it?!" She caught Yao Qiyun's eyes like crazy and hysterical.

A sour and incomprehensible wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"I said, I don't know. Ah Jue, maybe you are just too strong, you can't accept losing to someone who is inferior to you in everything, or you are just used to being unscrupulous, and you are never afraid of hurting the people who love you .”

"Who loves me?" Situ Jue muttered to himself, "No one loves me."

She bypassed him and walked downstairs, like a gust of wind, she almost knocked over Aunt Yao who managed to find the sterile gauze slowly.

Yao Qiyun caught up with her at the door.

"Don't be like a child, if you have the ability to go out and not come back?"

"It's none of your business that I die outside. How could I be with someone like you? What else can you give me besides giving me a heartbreak? Get the hell out of me." Situ Jue was furious.

Yao Qiyun said: "You're right, I can't give you anything. I knew this before, so why bother?"

Situ Jue sat on the bench downstairs in Wu's house.

She can't go too far, even if it gets dark, she looks like a monster parading the streets in this way, with wounds and blood on her face, maybe there are tears.

Wu Jiang rushed over, and seeing her like this, he couldn't believe his eyes.

"Who hit it?" She refused to answer.

He could probably guess, "Your dad? Did they know?"

Without further ado, he dragged Situ Jue to the nearest community hospital and treated the wound.When the doctor washed the wound with disinfectant, Situ Jue realized how painful it was. He didn't feel it before, maybe it was covered up by a stronger pain.She didn't need to look in the mirror to know how half of her face was swollen. Her head was so heavy that she couldn't touch it when it knocked on the door, but when she touched it, she couldn't help but make a hissing sound, like a wounded snake.

After the doctor on duty at the community hospital conducted a general inquiry and examination of her injury, she suggested that she should go to a large hospital for a head examination to determine whether there was any sequelae of the concussion.Situ Jue refused, and she said to Wu Jiang: "If I really catch up with a concussion, will I lose my memory? That's a beautiful thing."

Wu Jiang said airily: "It is more likely to become a fool."

Situ Jue laughed, "Do you know why I called you? I was so hungry that I didn't eat anything, and I didn't even have a dime on me."

She was telling the truth.

No amount of pain can overcome hunger, the sorrow of the living.

Wu Jiang led her out of the hospital helplessly. After thinking for a while, he said, "I have an appointment, so you can come with me and have something to eat."

Situ Jue pressed the ice pack brought out of the hospital to his face with one hand, "Who are you dating?"

Wu Jiang walked with his head bowed, without making a sound.

"Oh..." Situ Jue was thoughtful, "You said it earlier, give me some change, and I won't bother you."

Wu Jiang stopped, put his hands in his trouser pockets, and kicked a dead leaf at his feet into the bushes beside the sidewalk.

"I didn't plan to go at first, but since I came out, after thinking about it, it's not an option to avoid it. Situ, you can do me a favor by going with me. My mind is in a mess now, and I don't know how to face it alone. To her."

"Are you really confused or fake? I was also involved in the things she was involved in. Don't talk about it, it doesn't matter what you think of me." Situ Jue said wistfully.

"You are different."

Situ Jue didn't know whether the "different" in Wu Jiang's mouth was because she at least didn't show her face in the indecent photos, and the degree of vulgarity was slightly less, or because she was not his lover, so he didn't care that much.

She asked: "If I tell you that I have never had a relationship with Zou Jin, let alone asked him to do anything for me, would you believe it?"

Wu Jiang hesitated for a moment, but still nodded, "I believe it."

As a friend, Wu Jiang would choose to say nice things to keep her from being too embarrassed. This was already expected by Situ Jue, but when she heard his answer, she was still a little moved.

"Although you are just talking about it, I am very grateful. Really. I'm afraid no one will say that except you."

"Of course I believe, Situ, I know what kind of person you are, just like I know what kind of person Xiaowan is."

Why are people always more demanding and harder to forgive the one they love?Could it be that he was cruel because he cared?
Situ Jue thought of Yao Qiyun's back at the moment when he turned around, and his heart was pierced like a knife.

"I'm not defending her, but she and Zou Jin are in the past, and now she..."

"I know." Situ Jue was surprised by Wu Jiang's reaction, "To tell you the truth, I already knew that she had someone else in her heart. She is willing to let me accompany her, which means that I don't have no place in her heart. I pretended to be crazy and foolish, thinking that one day that position would grow wider and wider until it completely replaced another person. That day I said I was going to take her home, and she smiled, it was sincere, and even a fool could see it."

"That……"

"Guessing is different from seeing it with your own eyes!" Wu Jiang walked a few steps, Situ Jue had never seen him so restless when the sky fell, "I also said to myself again and again, she loves me now, Just love me, but I close my eyes and those pictures are in front of me, I remember every place where his hands landed, I can't take it, any normal man can't take it... Besides, this thing is so big , how do I bring her home? I am sure of convincing my parents to accept me marrying a woman older than me. But how do I let them accept that my future daughter-in-law has been hanging out with my mentor and a married man for so long , and even took photos for the eyes of people all over the world to admire?"

"Are you going to break up with her?"

Wu Jiang shook his head blankly, "I don't know, so I think I should think about it, at least I can't pass that level now."

Qu Xiaowan was sitting by the window of a Western-style fast food restaurant in the downtown area. It was already past dinner time. There were not many people in the restaurant, and the bright light reflected her very thinly.

She had been reading the magazines in the store until Wu Jiang appeared in her line of sight, then she looked at her watch and said, "You are here, I have been waiting for you for exactly three hours." She did not complain when she said this, Just smile and tell him the truth.

"I'm sorry, I said something, you don't need to wait." Wu Jiang whispered.

"Why are you sorry? I am willing to wait. What does it have to do with you? Anyway, I don't know where I'm going." She looked at Situ Jue carefully again, and asked, "What's wrong with your face? It's become popular recently to have a bruised nose and a swollen face?"

Situ Jue hummed twice as a response, she had already gotten used to Qu Xiaowan's unflattering frankness and sharpness.Before that, she almost thought that the other party treated herself as air.

She quickly ordered something that could fill her stomach, and she wanted to ask the other two if they would like something to eat, but it seemed that they didn't have that kind of thought, so she didn't make any unnecessary fuss.Can't wait for the food to come, she began to work hard, and she didn't care if the wound was affected by swallowing and chewing.

Most of the dialogue between Wu Jiang and Qu Xiaowan was insipid, and they were probably afraid of accidentally tearing off the last piece of clothing that was covering their bodies, even though the clothing was already riddled with holes.Qu Xiaowan's interest in talking is obviously stronger, she talks more than Situ Jue remembers every time, talking about the interesting things she saw through the glass window during the three hours of waiting for him, and the ordinary and funny things of passers-by on weekdays To make her laugh for a long time.

Not long after Situ Jue finished eating, he heard Wu Jiang say to Qu Xiaowan, "Go back, you are tired after sitting for so long."

"No, I don't feel tired at all." Qu Xiaowan smiled.However, even Situ Jue couldn't bear to look closely at the blood in her eyes.She tilted her head and thought about it again, and proposed excitedly like a child, "How about we go to the movies? The one you said you liked last time!"

"Next time."

"Go, just today." She stretched out her hand very naturally, with a hint of coquettishness, wanting to grab Wu Jiang's hand on the table intimately.However, at the moment she was about to touch it, Wu Jiang's hand shrank back without leaving a trace, and then he called the waiter to pay the bill, and then stood up.

"Go back and have a good sleep, okay? I've been busy recently, and I'll call you again in a while..."

The smile from the previous moment was still frozen at the corner of Qu Xiaowan's mouth, she smiled, smiled, and gradually became familiar and understanding.The missing hand also slowly withdrew and hid it under the table.

"Okay." She said to Wu Jiang.
