I'm waiting for you in my memory

Chapter 66 The Waiting Behind Time

As Yao Qiyun said, no matter how impulsive Situ Jue was when he left home, she would come back sooner or later.In the past, she felt that she was omnipotent, but she realized that she was nothing when she left home.Although Wu Jiang repeatedly asked her if she needed to stay at his house for a few days, Situ Jue still refused, and hiding was not an option. Besides, in this sensitive period, it really shouldn't be a problem for Wu Jiang's family.

Situ Jiu'an didn't fight Situ Jue again, not because he lost his temper, but because he wanted to save face.The daughter he was so proud of not long ago has now become a disgrace to the family. Others don't say it, but when he thinks of the praise of "teaching his children well" in the past, he feels like he has been slapped hard on the face. It hurt far more than when he hit his daughter. This "family misfortune" was enough for him to lose his head outside for several years.However, he has beaten and scolded her, the facts are in front of him, he can't let his daughter apologize with death, after all, she is his own flesh and blood, there is no other way but to stamp her feet.Fortunately, his wife also reminded him that more worrying things are imminent, and it is too late to make up for it.

So, when Situ Jue returned home that night, what awaited her was a strange silence.Everyone was in their room, no one came out to accuse her, and no one cared what happened to her or where she went.However, she could really feel that none of them were asleep, they were all listening to her footsteps and thinking about their own thoughts.

In the morning of the next day, it was Aunt Yao who put some traumatic medicines into her room, some for oral use and some for external use, and they were carefully matched. Of course, it could not be from Aunt Yao's mercy, it could only be for this matter. The mother who shed more tears than Situ Jue.

The mother and daughter met downstairs early in the morning. The mother, who was about to go out, said nothing, but gave Situ Jue a look of heartache and resentment.

Not long after, the posts of the two instigators disappeared from the campus BBS without a sound, and all replies with related content were also deleted, and more than a dozen pictures that stimulated the viewer's adrenaline hormone were completely removed. In the end, the website has returned to its original calmness, except for the complaints about the school cafeteria, it is the romance of young people moaning without illness.It's just that when Situ Jue went back to the school library to return the last batch of novels he lent out before graduation, after seeing the name on the library card of the listless administrator, he couldn't help but stared at Situ Jue with wide eyes. After a few seconds, it immediately flickered to the side.

Such eyes were undoubtedly commonplace for Situ Jue at that time, since she still wanted to walk in broad daylight, she had to get used to it.Not to mention irrelevant people, among her friends, so many friends, except Wu Jiang, who avoided her with evasive eyes. The ridiculous thing is that they seem to be more guilty than her.This kind of guilty conscience is like a healthy person accidentally bumping into a disabled person with no healthy limbs, or a terminally ill patient who has few days to live in the hospital, and deliberately ignores it, with a bit of embarrassment.Ever since she ran into Sanpi and Xiaogen on the road one day, Situ Jue passed by an acquaintance and never dared to look back. She was afraid of disturbing other people's whispering advice, and their embarrassment made her feel too sorry.

The door of Zou Jin's office is closed, and the school has set up a special investigation team to investigate this extremely bad incident, trying to get to the bottom of it, to restore the school to a pure and clean environment.Zou Jin is the focus of public opinion, whether those accusations are true or not remains to be seen, but he is no longer suitable to appear in public on formal school occasions, which is a tacit fact.

It is said that Zou Jin later proposed to investigate the culprit who used improper means to obtain and publish his personal private photos through legal channels, and claimed that the person who destroyed his reputation was his student Liu Zhisu.However, Liu Zhisu admitted that the "conscience" post was posted by himself, but firmly denied that he circulated the following photos.In fact, the IP addresses of the person who posted the post and the person who posted the photo did not match. If the investigation proves that the content of his post is true, let alone defamation, Zou Jin's accusation can only be slander.

Situ Jue couldn't help sighing secretly, Zou Jin was still ridiculously naive after living a long time.In some respects, even in front of his underachievers, he is not even qualified as a beginner, so it is no wonder that he failed miserably and was pushed down by everyone.All kinds of voices of justice followed, many of whom were highly respected people inside and outside the school. Many problems in Zou Jin's work and life also gradually surfaced, and they became the target of public criticism for a while.Those who admired him and envied him also began to "wake up".

—Oh, so he is such a person.

——Yeah, I should have known it a long time ago, how could he not be such a person!

Compared with Liu Zhisu, Tan Shaocheng received more attention and sympathy for what happened. There are too many injustices in this world, and it is even more shocking to shake them out inadvertently.People I know and don't know feel embarrassed and angry for her, and all the public opinion overwhelmingly supports that she must seek justice. Like a victim of a deal.There were rumors that the media with a keen sense of smell had already intervened. Situ Jue had thought for a long time about what kind of role he would appear in those reports.

Is it self-willed to degenerate?Or shameless?
Such reports did not appear, and Tan Shaocheng did not stand on a high ground and throw gravel at Situ Jue in the deep well.She was in the center of the storm, very quiet.

Until one day, Situ Jue saw Tan Shaocheng who was regarded as a guest of honor at his dining table.

Situ Jiu'an and his wife treated her carefully in every possible way, and apologized to her face to face as Situ Jue's parents, and only asked her not to pursue the matter, lest she would not mention conditions.

"Speak, you should say something anyway." The mother anxiously tugged at her daughter's sleeve under the table.The unchanging daughter looked at the distinguished guests at home without saying a word, and stood at the table, never taking a seat.

Before Situ Jiu'an broke out, Tan Shaocheng said softly to everyone present: "I didn't intend to use this to blackmail anyone. I don't want anything, except an apology. She has already apologized, and that's enough. Uncle, aunt , and Qiyun, you really don’t need to say sorry, this matter has nothing to do with you, and I will not pursue it. Let this matter pass.” She smiled self-deprecatingly, “After all, Baoyan’s Things have settled down, I was lucky to meet Professor Gao, besides, Situ Jue also gave me the 4000 yuan scholarship, enough for me to go home and see my father for the last time. We're settled."

Hearing this passage, Situ Jue should almost shed tears, and these tears should be full of joy of being pardoned and feeling ashamed.Yes, required.

After the meal, Situ Jue raised the curtains of the room and looked at the picture downstairs. His parents sent Tan Shaocheng out of the door with gratitude, while Yao Qiyun was repeatedly told to send her back to school properly.It was a little surprising that Aunt Yao didn't come along. Just now, her affection for the girl who was completely opposite to Situ Jue was so obvious. Maybe she was wiping her eyes with the apron that smelled of oily smoke in the kitchen, "How nice! of a girl."

Parents have returned to the house.Situ Jue still stood there watching, watching them side by side, watching them walk away.She and Yao Qiyun haven't spoken for a long time.

The whole world can disbelieve her, but he can't.But the sad thing is, she probably subconsciously knew that he didn't believe it, the whole world could believe her, but he wouldn't believe it.He has never been free from the fear of a thief. He holds that piece of jade in his hand, but he does not believe that he can own it. This kind of anxiety will turn into doubts about the quality of the jade one day.

Maybe she shouldn't be so tough. At this time, she couldn't help but bow her head.If she cries, if she painstakingly breaks her heart to justify, will it make him feel better?But Situ Jue understood that if Yao Qiyun had already assumed unbelief from the beginning, wouldn't any explanation be sophistry under this premise?

Her mother said to her: "I invited you several times, but Tan Shaocheng originally refused to come, thanks to Qiyun who came forward."

Tan Shaocheng will naturally give him face.They have never lacked a common language.Situ Jue has never seen the backs of herself and Yao Qiyun walking together, wondering if they would be a more harmonious match than this pair in her eyes?

Their figures quickly disappeared from Situ Jue's sight. Suddenly, Tan Shaocheng seemed to have accidentally knocked on a stone under his feet, and staggered. Yao Qiyun supported her in time, until Situ Jue stood on tiptoe and couldn't see any better. Far, he didn't let go of his hand.

It was from this moment that Situ Jue's stubbornness began to collapse.She hated Yao Qiyun, however, no matter how much they quarreled, no matter how bloody they were, it was always a matter between the two of them.Even when Situ Jue was cursing and never forgiving him, in the final analysis, he and himself were still regarded as a whole, just like a pair of jade rings, which are the other half of each other, and never thought about the relationship between them and the other. Put together, it will also be a ring.

She called Yao Qiyun, but the beep sounded empty, and no one answered.Situ Jue rushed out without thinking, she didn't know what she was chasing.

If she runs fast enough, will she be in time?
At the intersection, she met Yao Qiyun who had turned back alone, grabbed him, and then threw herself into his arms with all her strength, hugging him tightly, never wanting to let go.

"Can I say I'm sorry? Don't go, I'm sorry..."

Yao Qiyun was taken aback by her tears, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Are you mad at me? I'd like to apologize, I don't want to see you with her."

He was silent for a while, as if he understood a little bit, he leaned his neck back slightly and stared into her tearful eyes.

"You think you have done nothing wrong, why say sorry?"

"I was very confused that day, and I didn't want to explain anything. I was afraid that you wouldn't listen to me. I didn't exchange anything with Zou Jin. I didn't know he did those things behind my back..."

As he was talking, Situ Jue couldn't continue. Ten meters away, Tan Shaocheng stood there quietly waiting, with his hands folded in front of him, holding the somewhat whitish backpack.A car passed by, and in an instant, the night lights illuminated her figure as if it were day, and then fell into the shadow again in an instant.

Yao Qiyun struggled lightly, "I forgot to bring my mobile phone. I was afraid that your parents would find me for something, so I came back to get it. Shaocheng is still waiting for me, I have to send her back."

"I will go with you."

He pulled down her hand that was around him, "Why bother, do you think it's okay?"

"I don't care if it's good or bad, I have something to tell you. I can tell you the whole story from the beginning to the end. If there is a half-truth, I will die a terrible death and never be reborn..."

"Ah Jue, you really don't need to do this."

"This is my business, I have to speak clearly. If you want to see her off, well, I'll wait for you when you come back. You are afraid that it will be inconvenient to talk at home. Let's go to 'Behind Time' and I will wait for you there."

"No, I have something to do, it may be late."

"I can wait until late."

"I said I can't go, you don't have to wait, why can't you understand?" His voice finally had ups and downs.

"You can't go because of her? I don't believe you like her kind of person!" Situ Jue pointed in Tan Shaocheng's direction and snapped.

Yao Qiyun turned his head and glanced at Tan Shaocheng who was motionless, and then slowly said to Situ Jue: "What kind of person is she? What you said that day was right, you said you didn't know why we were together. Ah Jue, in fact, I You are two completely different people... It's not that I like someone, but that I can't stand you anymore! I feel tired."

He broke free from Situ Jue's other hand on him, and seemed to give up the idea of ​​going back to get his phone, turned around and walked towards Tan Shaocheng.

Situ Jue gave up thinking, and said to his back in a daze, "Remember, I will wait for you there, you don't need to come, I will wait until the last minute of today."

However, when the day was about to end, Yao Qiyun still didn't come.

A Yuan left a blank note for Situ Jue for the [-]st time.

"Do you believe that time can go back? If you could go back in time, what would you do?"

Situ Jue never laughed it off.

In the last minute, she hastily scribbled out the words on the note.

It originally said - "I want to find Situ Jue from back then, and tell her that I must never fall in love with that person."

Under the scratches, she rewritten in the most scribbled handwriting: "If anyone met a man named Yao Qiyun in the past, please tell him for me, July 2001, 7, until the last second of that day, I'm still here waiting for him."

However, at the last second, Situ Jue chose to slow down his watch by an hour.

She thought, as long as she waited, he would still come.

She has waited here for Yao Qiyun many, many times, and he never misses appointments.

As long as Yao Qiyun appeared in front of her, Situ Jue, who valued pride more than life, was willing to put down all his figure and all his principles, and begged him to stay.

She can even say: "What kind of person do you want me to be? As long as you want, I can change!"

The sound of twelve o'clock in the square not far away put an end to all this as expected.Situ Jue trembled uncontrollably during the long ringing of the bell. She thought she would cry, but she didn't have a single tear. She just woke up from a big dream.

She tore up the note in front of her, and was so ashamed of her madness and self-deprecation just a moment ago, as if possessed by the most hideous ghost, and the name of this ghost was "loved him".

Situ Jue was born as Situ Jue, and he could only be this kind of person, just like he was destined to be the present Yao Qiyun.Two people, two kinds of people, no one can change.

In the early morning of the next day, Situ Jue returned to his home and opened the door with his key to enter. The family was sitting in the dining room having breakfast.

As soon as Situ Jiu'an saw her, he threw a pair of chopsticks towards her.

"Get out of here, and don't come back after you get out."

Xue Shaoping was answering a phone call, holding her husband's shoulders in a desperate manner, and beckoning her daughter to go upstairs quickly with her eyes.

Situ Jue picked up the chopsticks scattered at his feet and put them back on the dining table.Yao Qiyun stretched out his hand to pick it up, there was an inexplicable look in his eyes, he held back for a long time before asking: "Have you eaten yet?"

Situ Jue shrugged, followed his mother's instructions and quickly went back to his room, closed the door, and could still hear his mother on the phone.

The call was from Wu Jiang's mother.The Wu family is also in turmoil. The only son is clamoring to get married, and the Wus have just been shocked to hear that the person their son wants to marry is involved in a horrific scandal.No family can tolerate such a scandal, but Wu Jiang said he was determined.

Of course, Situ Jue only heard about these later, and also heard about Qu Xiaowan's death.Qu Xiaowan was hanged in the dormitory of the postgraduate building of the school. She simply tied her stockings in a knot, hung one end on the iron branch on the transom, and wrapped the other end around her neck.She is usually independent and doesn't have a close friend, and her roommate has also moved out, and she shares a rent with her boyfriend off-campus.It was summer vacation, and the graduate student building was sparsely populated. She had that incident again and disappeared for a long time. Most people thought it was inconvenient for her to show up, and she went to find a place to avoid the limelight.The aunt who was in charge of the hygiene of the postgraduate building called the security guard to open the door forcibly after smelling a strong odor.People have been hanging on it for many days, and in the midsummer weather, it has already rotted so much that it is difficult to distinguish its face.It is said that the first security guard who opened the door vomited on the spot.

The police car also went around the downstairs of the graduate student. Qu Xiaowan's parents rushed over overnight from a small town [-] kilometers away. It took a lot of effort to confirm that it was indeed their outstanding daughter. Shaking, unable to even cry.Through on-site investigation, the police concluded that the cause of death was suicide.Without a suicide note, without leaving a word to anyone, Qu Xiaowan just locked herself in the dormitory without warning, and went to another world, but the motive couldn't have come easily, those rumors and photos were enough to kill her. Kill any young girl who cares about face.After demonstration, the time of death also has a preliminary answer, which should be eight to nine days before the body was found.

But Situ Jue knew the exact day, and she also knew that what Qu Xiaowan cared most about was not their so-called suicide motive.

In fact, the moment Qu Xiaowan stretched out her hand and Wu Jiang retracted slightly, she was already dead.

Situ Jue didn't go to Qu Xiaowan's funeral, nor did he have the courage to call Wu Jiang and ask how he was doing now.She was curled up in her quilt, and a few strands of the sun's enthusiasm flaunted through the gaps in the heavy curtains, but she was shivering.

She felt that the dead person also had her own shadow.
