Chapter 55 Snow
The hotel is in the Luyuan Mountain Scenic Area, which is much lower than the city. It snows lightly at night, and the snow has stopped when I woke up in the morning, and a thin layer of snow has accumulated on the ground.
Chi Tang had to go to the scenic area for a walk every day. Zhang Meng would spend the first two days with the landlords to accompany her. Later, when she saw that she was familiar with this place, she had a lazy cancer attack and didn't want to move, so she asked her to go alone. Now that You Yu is here, Chi Tang naturally knocked on the door next door.
"Tu tuk--"
As soon as You Yu took out his book, he saw Chi Tang standing by the door, with his hands in his pockets, "Go and take a walk on the mountain?" she asked.
You Yu looked at the exercises in front of him and was a little hesitant.
Chi Tang also saw it and raised his eyebrows: "It's all on holiday, so you can't take a day off?"
Although people who work hard are admirable, they study like this every day, as if there is nothing else in life, so don’t they feel bored?
You Yu still stood up, put on a down jacket and prepared to go out with her.
The two of them were wearing shoes at the entrance of the hotel. Zhang Meng was sitting there watching TV. Aunt Ning poked her head out of the kitchen and told her: "It's very cold outside, both of you are wearing scarves."
Chi Tang reluctantly wrapped a square scarf, which was the one he wore when he went to pick You Yu up. You Yu felt that this scarf was not very suitable for Chi Tang's preferences. It was a bit strange to see her wearing this scarf before, but now she understood that this was not Chi Tang's scarf, but Aunt Ning's.
"You Yu didn't bring a scarf, come here, Aunt Ning has a scarf for you to wrap." The enthusiastic Aunt Ning found another square scarf with similar patterns and gave it to You Yu.
The two people who were wandering out had the same scarf.
After all, this surrounding area is a developed scenic spot. Many roads are well-built. Even the roads up the mountain have been built into big roads. Walking along the mountain road, the terrain begins to become steeper, and the roads slowly turn from cement roads to gravel roads.
There were roadblocks ahead, but no one was guarding them, so the two of them went directly over the roadblock. As the Chinese New Year approached, no one was maintaining the scenic spot and no one cleaned the roads. Except for the birds and small animals in the forest, they were the first visitors today. The two rows of footprints on the thin snow were all left by them.
It was indeed very cold outside, and his nose was about to be blown away by the wind in the forest. Chi Tang pulled his scarf to cover most of his face, and saw You Yu looking up at the crossed branches above, walking silently after stepping down his feet.
Her hands were hanging beside her, and her pockets were bulging and didn't know what was put. Chi Tang was a little curious and casually reached into You Yu Dachang's pocket and took out... an English vocabulary booklet from it.
Chi Tang: "You really want to study all the time, and you are racing against time, and you will take this when you walk." She didn't even have the pleasure of opening and watching, and stuffed her back.
It was not intentionally taken out, but I just put it in my pocket and forgot to put it back. You Yu stuffed the title into his pocket and asked, "Where are we going?"
Chi Tang: "Whatever, I've followed this road before, and almost turned around, or we'll take another fork today."
You Yu: "Well, don't go too far, go back in a while."
Chi Tang frowned, "I just came out and wanted to go back, but I had nothing to do when I went back."
You Yu: "...you can go back to do the questions."
Chi Tang was speechless when he heard this. He raised his foot and kicked a clump of snow-filled grass on the side of the road, and the snowflakes splashed everywhere. The upper was covered with snowflakes. "It's winter vacation now, and the New Year is coming soon. Haven't you seen that news? Senior high school students are under too much pressure and stay up late to study and die suddenly. You are not in senior high school yet. There is no need to be so nervous. Can't you take a few days off?"
She really didn't understand. Over the past period of time, seeing that You Yu, who was already diligent, became harder and harder, as if she was forcing herself to study, she felt very tired as a bystander and didn't understand how You Yu felt anxious.
You Yu was silent for a while, looked at her, and suddenly said softly: "I told you before that I can support you when I work in the future. Do you remember?"
Chi Tang was stunned and recalled it, it seemed that something happened, "Is it when I was in my first year of high school? Aren't you kidding me?"
You Yu: "I'm not kidding. If you want, I can support you in the future."
Over the past year, she and the person around her have gone from strangers to familiarity. Every time she sees her returning from home to school with a hurt and indifferent expression, and seeing her alone depressed, confused and worried about the future, You Yu feels that she should work harder.
She thought that she could become a person who was reliable in the future. Only when she was powerful enough could she completely get rid of the shadow of her family and help Chi Tang.
This idea came up very early, and it happened when she and Chi Tang hid in an old house in Pengning County last winter, but at that time, she just felt very simply grateful to her and wanted to repay her.
I don’t know when, there were many other things in that feeling of gratitude. She didn’t understand very well. She had a lot of things she wanted to do, but now she couldn’t do it. She could only work harder and do her best. As a student, she is only good at learning.
If she can share what she can get after working hard, she can share it with others, and the only thing she wants to share is Chi Tang.
Chi Tang stepped on the snow on the ground and was not moved by You Yu's affirmative answer. On the contrary, she felt an unspeakable irritability.
"It's too early to say this. You don't need to put such pressure on yourself. Moreover, even if we are friends, I can't rely on you to support you in the future."
You Yu: "No..."
Chi Tang: "You used to be the only friend of me, but now you have so many more friends. Zhang Meng and Sister Wei, do you have to raise them all? Then you are exhausted, there is no need to take responsibility that does not belong to you."
Chi Tang understood some of You Yu's thoughts, her worries and concerns, sometimes she also had them, but she didn't like the feeling that she had become the responsibility of others, as if she had become a burden, as if she had made her life difficult and could not breathe.
From birth, she was her mother's burden. When her mother finally gave up her burden, she became her father's burden. Once it became a burden for others and made people live a difficult and difficult life, then love would be wiped out and bored. This is what she felt, her experience from childhood to adulthood made her afraid of becoming the responsibility of others.
Chi Tang wanted to lose his temper when he treated him as a responsibility for his inexplicably.
You Yu couldn't understand her complicated mood, but she could see that she was so sad that she said seriously that she wanted to raise her, which made Chi Tang unhappy.
Chi Tang stopped talking, You Yu had to say, "Chi Tang, when we become adults and go to college, will you leave home?"
"Yes." Chi Tang answered fiercely.
"I want to go to the same school with you. If you can't, then I want to get closer to your school. We can still be friends. Even if we can't meet every day, once a few days or once a week. When we go back, we graduate and work. If you don't have someone you like at that time, I want to live with you and take care of each other." I feel a little embarrassed to say these words, but I probably have been thinking about them for too long, and it is not as difficult as I imagined when I say them.
You Yu looked at the snow under his feet and thought, if there was no separation, it would be great to be together all the time. Like now, it would be great to be your best friend.
Chi Tang: “…”
Chi Tang emphasized again: "I will talk about the future. However, you can work hard for yourself. You don't have to work hard for me. This is not something that can be replaced."
You Yu understood what she meant a little: "I'm sorry, I don't want to put pressure on you."
Chi Tang didn't say anything, and the two walked silently for a while. The weather slowly became gloomy and snowflakes began to float in the sky.
You Yu: "It's snowing again, it looks like it's going to snow heavily. Let's go back now?"
Chi Tang: "Yes."
The two turned around and walked back. As expected, before they walked out, they turned into heavy snow, and snowflakes fell on their heads. You Yu untied the big scarf on his neck and covered Chi Tang's head.
Chi Tang: "Are you covering the veil?"
