I'm waiting for you in my memory

Chapter 8
This is a topic that everyone tacitly avoids talking about. Even at the party attended by more than ten people last night, all the people tacitly did not mention it, as if nothing happened.But for Situ Jue's family, this is an obstacle that cannot be bypassed.

"Do you really expect that if we forgive you, you will refuse to come back after seven years? To you, is your father and I still meaningful?"

Situ Jue's tears rippled on the water. She used to dream of getting forgiveness from her parents, but every time she mustered up her courage, their indifference made her retreat, so she could only return the same alienation and politeness, Only in this way can she persist in her weekly phone greetings.She didn't know what was wrong, maybe the whole family was stubborn, twisting and twisting, and it became an insoluble knot.

"Think about it yourself, what have you done for this family these years, apart from making a phone call every Friday that you can't say a few words, by the way, there is also a remittance that we returned when you called."

Situ Jue was taken aback for a moment, she did remit money to her family, but it wasn't just a single sum.Even though she knew that with her parents' income, they would not pay attention to her little money at all, but she was still a very traditional person in her bones. No matter how bad her relationship with her parents was, she still felt that she should do her best as a daughter. Since she received her first salary, she has remitted a sum of money to her parents every month.Whether they need it or not is their business, and whether they give it is also her own business.Except for the first month's money order being returned by her parents, as far as she knows, the monthly remittance has not been refunded. She has maintained this habit for several years. Why would my mother say such a thing?
Although she has doubts in her heart, she also knows that raising money at this time will only make the situation that has finally improved even worse, although that is not the key to this deadlock.

"Mom, tell me, what do you want me to do?" Situ Jue raised his head with tears in his eyes, only to realize that his mother's eyes were already wet.

"Thank goodness for your nonsense, what else can I ask of you. Your father and I don't need you to worry too much. You are a girl. It's so difficult to settle down? I don't want to repeat the past. , but what's the point of you fooling around with those foreigners now? Don't tell me you're abroad, even in Western society, it's not a virtue to be up and down."

Situ Jue wanted to argue, "Where am I fooling around..." But knowing that she couldn't convince her mother, her teeth itch in her heart. How could her parents know about these things? If you think about it with your toes, you can think that the villain leaked the secrets.How insidious and despicable that double-faced, sowing discord hypocrite is, I only heard a little clue from Wu Jiang and the others last night, and immediately complained in front of her parents with embellishments.She knew that he was shameless, but she didn't know that he was so shameless!

"Yao Qiyun said it? When did he say good things about me? It's not what he said at all, so you just believe him?"

"How do you know what Qiyun told us? I told you again and again, don't look at people with prejudice. Even if he said it, it was for your own good." Xue Shaoping said.

Situ Jue could only sneer silently.

Seeing that this was the point of the conversation, Xue Shaoping simply stopped what she was doing, "You came back this time to attend Wujiang's wedding? You have been with Wujiang since you were a child, and now people are willing to take it easy and find someone to marry and have children with." What about you?"

"Marriage is not just a matter of life. I will naturally consider it when I find the right one. I can't marry just for the sake of marriage." Situ Jue didn't want to tell her mother that she had long since lost her trust in love, and despair once was enough.

"If you don't put your mind right, you will never find the 'suitable' one." Xue Shaoping hesitated for a while, then suddenly lowered her voice and asked seriously, "Tell me honestly, is the person Qiyun has been waiting for all these years really you? Are you and Did he have anything back then?"

Situ Jue was startled, and turned his face away, "He's waiting for me? What a joke! I have nothing to do with him."

"Really?" Xue Shaoping was dubious, "Qiyun has been living alone these past few years, and he is not sure when he will come back for dinner, but every Friday night, he will go home unshakably, just in time for you to call back. , this time when you return to China, he also specially went to the airport to pick you up... This is what makes me and your father worry about him."

"Because the time I called back coincided with the time he went home for dinner, can I tell that he was waiting for me? It's too easy to wait for someone. His dinner time every night coincides with a certain TV show The time coincides, why don't you say that he is waiting for a certain host because he is still unmarried?" Situ Jue sneered.

"One Friday, he had something to do outside, and it was raining heavily. The area was flooded severely, and the car was turned off. He came back in the water, just in time for you to call. After sitting for a while, there is nothing to do outside. After we finished, we left with the water again. Your father and I had a murmur in our hearts."

"He is very perverted. Can a perverted person analyze it with the psychology of a normal person?"

Situ Jue is indeed used to calling home at a fixed time, and the habit can make her persist.But Yao Qiyun had never spoken a single word to her on the phone in the past seven years.

"What nonsense are you talking about! In my opinion, Qiyun is much better than you." Xue Shaoping was only dubious at first.Speaking of it, this is also the sorrow of Chinese parents. Situ Jue and Yao Qiyun have secretly done something in the past, and friends who are close to each other know it well, but parents are always kept in the dark.

"If he's waiting for you, that's your blessing."

"Then I really can't afford such a big blessing. Mom, don't mess with the couple. Don't you know about Yao Qiyun and Tan Shaocheng? Waiting for him is also waiting for Tan Shaocheng. Aren't they a natural match?"

The obvious disdain in her daughter's words made Xue Shaoping a little unhappy, and said: "You are really right, I just look at Shaocheng, she is down-to-earth, she is a good girl, it's a pity that she and Qiyun didn't make it .”

Situ Jue said coldly: "Yeah, such a good couple didn't make it, God really doesn't have eyes, it's a pity."

"It is precisely because of this that I am anxious about Qiyun's lifelong event. He works for your father's company, but he can't involve the whole person."

"He's such an old man, he can handle his own affairs."

"Oh, I thought so too, but last night when he went home, I packed his changed clothes and found sleeping pills in his pocket, and..."

The thief finally showed up.Situ Jue heard his mother hesitate to speak, and asked, "What else?"

There was a blush on Xue Shaoping's well-maintained face, "I also saw a dubious business card. I thought he accidentally put it in his pocket, so he threw it into the trash can. He came to ask me later. Yes, but he found it out of the trash can and asked for the medicine back together."

Situ Jue's expression was weird after hearing this, "Although it's a bit disgusting to find Miss, and thinking about this while relying on sleeping pills is even more morbid. But it's normal for him to have that need at his age... normal."

"What's normal?" Xue Shaoping scolded, "I thought that if he finds someone to start a family, everything will be fine. Daughter, your father and I had a sudden idea yesterday..."

This "daughter" made Situ Jue's heart tremble. This was the first time his mother called her that in seven years, and finally had her as a "daughter" in her heart again.

"You're back too. If you still have your parents in your heart, don't leave. Stay here. Jiu'antang needs you too."

Situ Jue thinks about the work and life in the United States that she has always been very comfortable with and loves, but the other side is her parents' long-lost acceptance and forgiveness, how can she not be tempted?
"This... I'm thinking about it..."

"Also, you're not young anymore, and you don't have a fixed partner. It just so happens that Qiyun is going to start a family. You know everything, so it's not as good as you..."

This "inferior" was like a bolt from the blue to Situ Jue, it made her look scorched, and she opened her mouth, unable to say anything for a while.

Xue Shaoping thought that for her daughter who was too determined, the beginning of silence was a good omen, which allowed her to continue: "I asked Qi Yun for his opinion last night, and he didn't object..."

Situ Jue's face ignited by hope dimmed a little bit, it turned out that her parents asked her to come back because of this.

"What do you think? Don't rush to answer. After all, it is a lifelong event. You can think about it carefully. After thinking about it, you will know that your parents are also for your own good."

"Don't think about it." Situ Jue smiled.

"would you like?"

"Unless I die!"

Xue Shaoping's face froze when she heard this decisive and unequivocal answer.

At this time, there was a clear cough from outside the kitchen, the mother and daughter turned their heads, and it was Yao Qiyun standing there quietly, who did not know when he would come back.He didn't look at Situ Jue, and there was no expression on his face, he just said to Xue Shaoping: "Mom, I have no objection and it doesn't mean I agree. You can leave this matter alone."

Xue Shaoping shook her head, "You two children, am I doing it for myself?"

Situ Jue murmured: "Mom, are you doing it for me again?"

"You are almost thirty. With Qiyun's conditions, you can find a girl with a yellow flower that is more tender than anything else. How about you? It's rare that he doesn't care about your past..."

"So you want me to follow him gratefully, wishing I could kneel down and kiss his feet?" Situ Jue burst into tears in the blink of an eye. She would rather her parents be indifferent to her as always than make her sad now, "Don't you Forget how you all guarded against me being with him like a thief."

"You were young back then, so it's different from now." Mentioning this matter, Xue Shaoping was also a little embarrassed.

"It's not because of age. Just like seven years ago, you matched him and me just because you think your daughter is so broken that no one wants it, and you must let someone who has accepted your kindness come to 'pick up trash'. Yes, you are only concerned about Yao Qiyun, you are afraid that Jiu'an Hall will not be able to keep him, that he will hurt his body if he finds a prostitute, and that the name of a son is not close enough, so you want to pack me up and give him to him?"

"Situ Jue, you've been talking nonsense since you came back." The middle-aged man's voice was high with anger, probably because Situ Jiu'an, who came back at the same time as Yao Qiyun, walked over a few steps, "You really don't know what's good!"

"I don't know good from bad, and he may not be willing, not to mention that no matter how shabby I am, I can't look down on him!"

The scorching slap made Situ Jue's eyes go dark, and it took her a long time to straighten her sideways face.There was silence everywhere, mother was so shocked that she couldn't say a word with tears in her eyes, father's hand was still raised in the air, dazed, he didn't know whether it was regret or pain, even Yao Qiyun who went upstairs stood in the middle of the stairs, dazed Looking at the mess downstairs.

Situ Jue licked the corner of her mouth, it was salty and fishy, ​​she knew that her smile must be very ugly, but it was better than crying.

"Dad, I wanted to ask you how your health is, but now it seems that it can be saved, and you will grow stronger and stronger, and your shooting speed will not decrease, so I can leave with peace of mind. You taught me to be honest and say 'goodbye' I think it’s better not to say it.”

She bypassed Situ Jiu'an and walked towards the door.

"I'll take you out." Yao Qiyun still kept his demeanor in front of her parents, and quickly walked to her side from the stairs.

"Need not."

Situ Jue immediately refused.When she changed her shoes, she lowered her head, feeling numbly in pain.

At this moment, the lights in the room flickered a few times and then went out suddenly.It was nearly eight o'clock in the evening, and the sky was getting dark. The lighting in the old-fashioned house was not very good. Once the light of the lamp was lost, it suddenly fell into darkness. The eyes couldn't adapt in time, and I felt that I couldn't see my fingers.Situ Jue only thought about it: God, let me get out of here quickly!Hastily stretched out his hand to fumble, and finally touched the doorknob.

She hastily turned the handle, but unfortunately she didn't get what she wanted, because the other hand quickly covered the back of her hand, pressing her hard.Her palm was pinched between his hand and the metal handle, and every bone ached.

Situ Jue made a decision, even in front of her parents, she would swear at him as a "bitch" loudly!Before she could speak, she felt hot all over her body. It took her brain half a second to accept the news. She was hugged tightly by someone.

That "slut" hugged her, or squeezed her. If there was a light engraved here, it must be an extremely ugly and rude posture, making every inch of skin touch as much as possible, as if she was going to rub her into it. In his body, this posture almost didn't completely depress the remaining air in Situ Jue's lungs.She struggled subconsciously, but his face was buried in the crook of her neck, wet and trembling like his body.

Situ Jue was quiet for a moment in such a weird space, and when his hand touched her painful cheek, she finally recovered her normal lung capacity, and expressed everything in her heart in the lightest but most carefree tone next to his ear. feelings.

"You make me sick," she said.

With the slight sound of the lighter, Yao Qiyun had already let go of Situ Jue, perhaps what made him let go was the whisper that only he could hear.There was a light coming from the kitchen, and Situ Jiu'an found his lighter.

Before they flooded the room with light, Situ Jue opened the door and left without looking back.
