Chapter 44
Chapter 44
If the 17-year-old He Sui couldn't resist Xu Mengmeng's tears the most, then the 24-year-old He Sui couldn't stand it even more.
Generally, the prison will notify the prisoner of the date of release after serving his sentence one month in advance, which can be regarded as a psychological preparation for him.When the day really came, the prison guards would take him to go through the relevant procedures again and return to him the personal belongings he had stored in prison before.
The previous clothes were a little too small, and he didn't really want some other sundries. He Sui rummaged through the box, and finally took only one thing.
A small, plain-colored stud earring.
It is definitely impossible to let people with earrings inside, and they will be confiscated after entering, and after seven years, the hole in He Sui's right ear has long since grown.
But He Sui himself didn't care much about this, he felt like he didn't know the pain, touched the place where the hole was punched in his memory, and pressed it in forcefully with his hand.
Maybe it was because he didn't look in the right place, or for other reasons, a small bright red lump smeared on his finger, and warm blood dripped down his earlobe to his shoulder.
His right ear was burning hot, but He Sui felt at ease, as if he could get something back by wearing it.
He didn't know whether Xu Mengmeng would come to pick him up. When he notified his family, he didn't ask anyone to be notified. In fact, even if he did, that coward would definitely not come.
During the seven years in prison, He Sui hoped that Xu Mengmeng could take the college entrance examination without being affected, get into a good university, find a good job after graduation, and live a good life, so don't come to see him.
But... At the same time, He Sui still couldn't help but think in his heart that it would be great if he could come and see him.
Although the two of them were together in the beginning, He Sui half threatened and half threatened him to agree; although he didn't seem to like himself very much; although the two of them were nothing, except that he stole a kiss on the cheek while sleeping nothing but
Although…
If only he could come and see me...
But Xu Mengmeng never came to see him, not even once.
That heartless little thing, he definitely won't come.
He Sui was thinking so firmly, so when he saw the figure he had seen countless times in his dreams after the door opened... he couldn't believe it.
It was really his misery, He Sui's eye sockets and even his nasal cavity began to feel sore, his heart seemed to be grabbed by something, and even his fingertips were numb.
"Brother Sui, I bought you new clothes. I don't know what size you are wearing now. You can try to see if it fits when you go back later..."
Xu Mengmeng just took a step, probably because his feet were numb from squatting before, and his feet were still a little numb when he walked.
He Sui knelt down in front of him without saying a word, "Come up."
Although it's not that I haven't recited it before, but now it's not a teenager, even Xu Mengmeng who is in his teens will not be willing, and Xu Mengmeng who is in his twenties is naturally even more unwilling.
"I'll be fine in a while."
"A lot of nonsense..."
He Sui didn't bother to talk to Xu Mengmeng, he easily picked him up over his shoulders like a child, and even subconsciously weighed him after he picked him up.
Why is she still so thin, she must be picky eaters again.
*
In the past seven years, the entire society has changed with each passing day. In seven years, prices have been rising, housing prices have been rising, and the technological age is also progressing. Everything is moving forward. It seems that only a few years old...
Only his time is still trapped seven years ago.
Xu Mengmeng took He Sui to eat noodles at the small restaurant they used to go to. Although the address has not changed, the store has been newly renovated and expanded a lot. After all, it is only a small storefront, and it has not changed much. It also looks a lot brighter.
The original master chef in the store has also retired, and his son and daughter-in-law are taking over. Naturally, the taste has changed with the change of people.
A person who had been thinking about him day and night for many years appeared in front of his eyes. He Sui couldn't control himself from looking at Xu Mengmeng at all. He still ate as slowly as before, eating slowly.
His face is so small, his wrists are so slender, and when he lowers his eyelids to eat, his eyelashes are so dense, Xu Mengmeng looks even better than before.Although it doesn't seem appropriate to describe boys with good looks, but it is very appropriate to describe Mengmeng.
The facial features are exquisite, and she looks like a little girl wearing a wig.
Xu Mengmeng wore an earring of the same style as his right ear on his left ear, and he didn't know about those at that time. The material of the earrings was neither gold nor silver.
However, it has not rusted and discolored after all these years.
When it was time to finish eating, Xu Mengmeng didn't have time to say that he had already paid, so He Sui called the boss to pay the bill.
What he took out of his pocket was banknotes, and the price was seven years ago. The boss laughed and thought he was joking.
"Little brother, we raised the price a few years ago, and now, who still uses banknotes. They all use that..." He pointed at the QR code at the cashier.
At this time, a customer just finished his meal. The customer naturally took out his mobile phone and scanned the QR code, then showed the boss the payment information on the screen and left.
It was [-] when He Sui entered. At that time, there were no such or other payment methods on the market, and there were not so many dazzling smartphones in different forms.
Although smart phones have already been launched and put forward imagination about the future, they are not very popular.At that time, the 3G network had just become popular, and most ordinary people used flip phones and button phones the most.
In eight years, even the 5G network is about to go on the market. With the development of the network, paper money has indeed been gradually eliminated.
Xu Mengmeng watched He Sui take back the money in embarrassment. Seven years in prison made him completely out of touch with the society.
When eating in the restaurant before, He Sui didn't seem to realize that the taste here was different from before, after all, he didn't have much time to pay attention to the taste.
He Sui looked at Xu Mengmeng next to him, Mengmeng still ate as slowly as before, and he had to blow a few sips on the noodles and chew carefully.
When the noodles were served, Xu Mengmeng still hadn't reacted yet, He Sui naturally helped him pick out the chopped scallions floating on it,
Even after so long, he still remembered that Xu Mengmeng didn't eat green onions.
Xu Mengmeng sniffed, "Brother Sui,"
When they walked out of the noodle shop, Xu Mengmeng was still thinking about how to comfort him, when he heard He Sui talking to him.
"Mengmeng, how much did you pay just now, I will give you the money."
Xu Mengmeng shook his head to express his disapproval, but after noticing He Sui's expression, he still chose to report a number.
He Sui has changed a lot...
When he was in school, He Sui always beat him up, threatening Xu Mengmeng to beat him up if he was disobedient, but it was always just lip service, never once did he actually do anything to Xu Mengmeng.
Not only will he not bully Xu Mengmeng, but he will also help him drive away those who want to bully Xu Mengmeng.
He would cuddle Xu Mengmeng angrily in front of other students, and announce amidst the noisy boos of the surrounding people that Xu Mengmeng was the one he was covering...
At that time, Xu Meng was so ashamed that he wanted to bury his head in the ground.
He Sui likes Xu Mengmeng, and also likes to tease him, he deliberately stopped Xu Mengmeng several times, propped his hands on the wall to enclose Xu Mengmeng inside to prevent him from leaving.
"Why are you like a bitch, crying whenever you tease her, and you can't even touch her?"
Xu Mengmeng didn't cry, it was just because he was too white, the skin on his face was thin, and when he was emotional, the red blood streaks were obvious, and he looked as if he was about to cry or not.
Of course, his eye sockets are indeed very shallow, and he always tears uncontrollably when he is too emotional. He really doesn't like this physiological reaction of his own. It took a long time to know that this is called tear incontinence.
To be honest, Xu Mengmeng really hated He Sui at the beginning, he had the biggest bad habit of boys at that age, he bullied whoever he liked, but he didn't let others bully him.
When He Sui stopped Xu Mengmeng to confess his love to him, his attitude was extremely tough, not at all like a confession, but like a fight.There is a momentum that if you promise today, you have to say yes, and if you don’t, you have to say yes.
At that time, Xu Mengmeng nodded blankly because he was completely stunned, but He Sui treated him very well later on, just like the other people in the class made fun of - he loved Xu Mengmeng like a little wife.
Otherwise, he wouldn't deliberately sleep on Xu Mengmeng's lap between classes. Seeing Xu Mengmeng's bewildered look, he would laugh and be overjoyed, like winning a lottery.
At that time, everyone's living expenses were limited, and He Sui could spend most of it to buy snacks for Xu Mengmeng.
He is indeed... very kind to Xu Mengmeng.
Even at that time, most of the booing people in the class, even Xu Mengmeng himself, didn't think there was really anything between them, and felt that He Sui was joking, saying that he liked him, wanted to treat him well, and would protect him, etc. if.
"I never lie to Mengmeng."
"You just lied to me that the teacher is here..."
He Sui only felt that Xu Mengmeng had changed a lot. It seemed that he was no longer the poor little boy who hung his head timidly, didn't dare to make a sound when he was bullied, and even cried in secret. Now... seems to have become I am much more confident.
Of course, he's grown up after all.
He Sui who thought this way took a closer look, and felt that there was no change in fact. The outline of Xu Mengmeng's facial features did not seem to have changed much in the past seven years. They were opened a little, but they were still as delicate as a girl.
Xu Mengmeng is still so shy, and when he smiles, he will purse his lips slightly. His hair is soft and soft, just like himself. With the beige sweater he is wearing today, with a white inner layer, it makes people feel young.
"Brother Sui, do uncles and aunts know about you coming out?"
He Sui: "Don't tell them, I will tell them myself later."
Xu Mengmeng didn't know what happened between He Sui and his parents back then, and he didn't know how he explained it to his parents, but it is certain that he never told Xu Mengmeng, otherwise He Sui's parents probably wouldn't have seen him Then say hello politely.
The two exchanged pleasantries as usual.
He Sui's temper is much better than before, but his face is still as fierce as before.
He has a face that looks fierce when he doesn't speak.
He Sui took the initiative to explain to Xu Mengmeng, saying that he knew a few friends in there, and some of them had already gone out first, so he could go to them...and then plan what to do.
Xu Mengmeng frowned slightly as he listened. The people he met in that place are reliable, although he knew in his previous life that they did set up some kind of studio, and it seemed to be doing quite well.
He Sui asked Xu Mengmeng where he lived.
"The house I rent near my company... Well, I live alone. I don't like to share with others."
Xu Mengmeng doesn't just live alone, he doesn't like strangers staying in his private space for too long, plus there are some psychological reasons, even though he just started working and doesn't have much money, he hasn't considered sharing a house.
"Then, then can I live with you? Mengmeng, I will pay the rent and I can take care of you..." He Sui who said this didn't even look directly at Xu Mengmeng.
And Xu Mengmeng's first reaction was to refuse.
"I'm joking, Mengmeng won't take it seriously, right?" He Sui swallowed the sentence that I think I can live near Mengmeng.
Hearing what he said, Xu Mengmeng felt very uncomfortable. He Sui didn't do this before. He really didn't do this before. Before He Sui, speaking in front of him was very uncivilized, fierce and forceful.
Unlike now, the sharp edges and corners of the whole body have been smoothed.
He Sui was a bit silent after he came out in his previous life, but at that time Xu Mengmeng didn't have the heart to pay attention to what He Sui became after he came out. It's like I didn't hear it.
So...does he still hide now?
"Brother Sui, you can live with me first, but first let me say that the house I rent is not very good, I will take you to see it in a while..."
"Brother Sui??"
Under the early winter sun, He Sui only felt that Xu Mengmeng seemed to be shining against the light, and he felt an urge to hug Xu Mengmeng.But he also knew it was impossible, in fact, he could obviously feel Xu Mengmeng's stiffness when he hugged him the first time they met.
He doesn't like living with other people very much, and he doesn't like physical contact.
As for why...
Thinking about it, He Sui felt his fingertips start to ache.
"Brother Sui?"
In the past, He Sui would never refuse Xu Mengmeng's request, but now?
He Sui froze for a moment, and then nodded slightly after a long time.
Well, it seems the same now.
