boy chasing lightning

Chapter 18

After weeks in the hospital, Yu was finally able to go home.The injured bone is still growing slowly, but the person has recovered well, which is inseparable from the careful care of the border town.During this period, Bingzi also visited him several times, but each time he left without saying a few words.He seemed to have found a new job, but he didn't want to tell Yuluo what he was doing, and it was not easy for Yuluo to ask.

Another person also came to see him. At that time, Yu Luo was sitting on a bench in the hospital garden basking in the sun, and Bian Cheng led a beautiful woman over.That woman is not only beautiful, but also has a unique temperament. She looks more mature and has a charm that young women don't have.

"I didn't expect this very good friend of yours to be so young." The woman stared at Yuluo meaningfully, as if admiring a work of art.

"Yuluo, let me introduce you, this is my sister, Fang Yuanyun."

Yu Luo was startled, he had never heard Bian Cheng mention his sister.Such an abrupt meeting now made him not know what to say.

"She went to our house two days ago and saw the paintings hanging on the wall. She was very interested and insisted that I take her to meet me. So today she didn't invite herself."

"Looking at those paintings, I feel that the painters are unusual. I was really pleasantly surprised to see them in person." Fang Yuanyun said exaggeratedly.

Yuluo didn't know how to respond to what she said. Fang Yuanyun lowered his head, stared into Yuluo's eyes for a while, then straightened up and said to Biancheng, "I'll accept this apprentice. Look at these pair of eyes." You can tell with your eyes that you will be a talented person in the future."

After hearing this, Yuluo was completely confused. He didn't know what they were talking about, so he didn't dare to interrupt.Until the border city sent Fang Yuanyun away, he still didn't understand what happened.

"Sister, have you really decided to accept him?" Bian Cheng asked excitedly.

"His eyes are very intelligent. If he cultivates them well, he should have a bright future. However, don't be too happy. After all, he hasn't received professional training, so it's too early to say anything." Fang Yuanyun really knows how to bully others cold water.

"It's okay, as long as you are willing to accept him, a famous teacher produces a good apprentice." Bian Cheng flattered him.

"Don't, don't, it's hypocrisy coming out of your mouth. I can't stand your praise, just don't blame me in the future."

"Blame you? What's your fault?" Bian Cheng couldn't understand Fang Yuanyun's words.

"Brother, if one day he really succeeds, are you willing to let him go?" Fang Yuanyun turned to look at Bian Cheng, Bian Cheng suddenly felt that her eyes were very serious.This made his heart thump, and he was wondering if Fang Yuanyun felt something, did he act too obviously?His sister is sometimes too smart, so smart that it is frightening.

He didn't dare to answer Fang Yuanyun's words, nor did he dare to think about the future she said.But now he has no other choice. If he can really give Yuluo a different future, it will be worth paying any price.No matter what is waiting for them in the future, he will not regret today's choice.

When Bian Cheng walked back to the garden full of thoughts, he saw Yu Luo still sitting on a garden bench.The little sunlight falling from the gaps in the leaves fell on him, and he sat there quietly, motionless, with a peaceful face and hazy eyes, like an oil painting hanging on the wall, so moving.Bian Cheng recalled the scene when he saw Yu Luo for the first time, and he couldn't connect the person lying on the floor with the fresh life now.He never wanted Yuluo to return to the way it was before, even if he would not have his company in the future.

Biancheng sat next to Yuluo. He knew that Yuluo had a lot of questions to ask himself, so before Yuluo could speak, he took the initiative to speak.

"My sister admires your paintings very much. She is a painter and a university professor. She is very willing to let you learn painting from her. Today I will bring her to meet you."

Yu Luo was so shocked that he couldn't believe it. "I didn't finish high school, there was no way I could have gone to college."

Biancheng hugged Yuluo's shoulders: "Of course it is impossible to enter university now. My sister and I mean that she will be in charge of your professional courses, and I will make up cultural courses for you. When you are ready, you can Take the college entrance examination as a social candidate."

Yuluo listened to Biancheng's plans for the future, and he had longing and doubts at the same time.

"Can I do it?"

"Confidence is the foundation of success. With my sister and I helping you, we will surely succeed."

"I'm afraid of disappointing your expectations."

"Don't be afraid, it won't work in one year, there are still two years left, let's not worry."

Yuluo remembered a teacher he met in a boarding school when he was a teenager. He looked at Yuluo's paintings and said, "You will definitely become a very good painter in the future." A word of encouragement from that teacher made Yuluo feel small in his heart. With a vague dream, now the border town around me is like that teacher, guiding the direction of my life, making that dream more and more clear, so clear that I seem to have seen his outline, as clear as myself Just reach out and grab it.

Yuluo looked at the border town beside him, he was so mature and warm, he cared for him like an elder brother, and gave him direction like a mentor.Yuluo has become more and more dependent on him.

Therefore, when Yuluo came back from the hospital, he began to follow the arrangement of the border town, reviewing cultural lessons, and learning painting with Fang Yuanyun.He already had a talent for painting, so he made rapid progress.Fang Yuanyun always said that skills are secondary, the innate understanding of art and creativity are the most precious things to be a painter, and Yuluo is like a piece of white paper, not restricted by any skills, but more It is easy to burst into vigorous creativity.

Biancheng also devotes all his time to tutoring Yuluo's cultural lessons. During the period of recuperation, Yuluo has made rapid progress.Except for preparing dinner for Biancheng every day, and standing on the terrace unshakably waiting for Biancheng to go home, the rest of the time he is like a sponge, absorbing knowledge crazily.He seemed to use the fastest speed to make up for the time he lost.

When Biancheng saw Yuluo working so hard, he felt distressed and happy.He found that he liked staying with Yuluo more and more, liked to read quietly with him, and liked to watch him paint seriously. He liked every expression and every movement of Yuluo.

Fang Yuanyun originally wanted Yuluo to participate in this year's college entrance examination, but there was not enough time at all. Yuluo had an extra year of review time. His body has almost recovered now, and he looks energetic.

"I found a new job." One day, Yuluo said to Biancheng.

Bian Cheng was very surprised: "When did it happen, you should study hard now, I have already enrolled you in night school.

"Don't worry, I won't delay my studies. I go to work during the day and attend classes at night, no problem." Yu Luo said very easily.

But Hai knew that Yuluo wouldn't have any rest time in this way, and he didn't need to be so tired at all.

"I know what you are worried about. You don't have to worry about the tuition fees of the university. My job is fine with this." Biancheng wanted to dispel Yuluo's worries.

"It's not about money," Yu Luo paused, as if he didn't know how to express it.

Biancheng looked at him in a dilemma, he knew that it was impossible for Yuluo to accept his favor without scruples, and he didn't want some other elements in the relationship between Yuluo and himself.

"Yuluo, you can do whatever you want." Biancheng pressed his hand on the back of Yuluo's hand, as if to give him strength, "If you find it hard, you must tell me. Do you understand?"

Yuluo nodded gratefully. He felt that there would be no one in this world who could understand and understand him better than Biancheng.Indeed, Yuluo didn't want to owe Biancheng too much, he hoped that he could stand beside Biancheng as an equal, so that he could have the qualification to love him.

Section No.19

Biancheng knew that Yuluo went out to work during the day, but he didn't know where he went to work.Yuluo didn't say anything, and he didn't ask.He knew that Yuluo only dropped out of high school, and the job he could find would not be easy.He just felt that Yuluo was getting darker and darker now. It used to be that the sun was too little, but now it seemed to be too much.When he returns home from night school at night, he is always very tired and often falls asleep while reading a book.Bian Cheng felt distressed and wanted to tell him not to go to work, but he dared not speak.He knew why Yuluo was so persistent, and he could no longer burden Yuluo.

So every night, Biancheng always went to the gate of the night school to wait for the rain to finish, hoping to save him a little more time to sleep.On weekends, Biancheng took Yuluo everywhere to eat delicious food, and sometimes he learned to make some by himself, watching him make his stomach plump, and he felt more at ease.

One day, in order to show off, a female colleague in the hospital dragged a colleague from a department to see her newly bought real estate. Biancheng was forced to act as their driver. Toss it by the side of the road and hurry home.Finally arrived at the place, a group of colleagues surrounded him and went upstairs, Bian Cheng reasoned that his feet hurt from standing all day, so he stayed in the car.

This is an unfinished community, and some workers are busy rushing up and down the construction period.At this time, Bian Cheng saw a familiar figure from the back, carrying a bundle of plastic pipes, and the weight of that thing bent his back.Border Town's chest felt tight, as if something was stuck there, unable to get in or out.He wanted to step forward and pull that person away, but he couldn't lift his feet, so he just watched the figure disappear into the building in a daze.

Later, Biancheng went to that community again, watching Yuluo sell his strength in the dusty construction site, watching him dragging his tired body to the station, and watching him sleep standing up on the crowded bus .The people in the car avoided the dirt on his body in disgust. At that time, the border town really wanted to go to Yuluo's side, let him sleep on his shoulder, and told the people around, "This is the cleanest Boy." But he didn't do that, he looked at Yuluo full of bitterness, but he didn't take that step.

It's just that after Yuluo fell asleep at night, Biancheng would always hold a warm towel and gently wipe Yuluo's gradually rough hands. Yuluo also pretended not to know, because at that moment, he felt so happy.

For a long time, Biancheng felt that he and Yuluo had a world independent of the world.No matter what kind of emotion is between them, this relationship is so pure.In their world, there is no money, no sophistication, and no other relatives. Their spirit and personality are independent and equal.

When they come home every day and close the door, there are only the two of them in this world. They listen to music, read books, eat together, even if they just sit on the balcony in a daze without saying a word, they can be so satisfied.All the worldly troubles outside have nothing to do with them, at least not when they get along.The border town doesn't want to be broken, and Yuluo never complains.The two seem to be in harmony with each other carefully guarding the peace of the world and working hard towards the future, but the heart of the border city still hurts, and watching the rain fall, the heart aches.

Actually, Biancheng is not the only one who feels sorry for Yuluo, there is also a pair of eyes watching him all the time, finally one day, that person couldn't bear it anymore, he picked up Yuluo who was working, and dragged him away The noisy construction site.

"Let go of me, what are you going to do?" Yuluo wanted to shake off that person's hand, but that person's strength was too great, and she was pulled into his hand like a chicken.

He threw Yuluo into the car and said "drive", Yuluo saw the man sitting next to him, and was so scared that he wanted to jump out of the car and run away.But where did that person give him such a chance, he said lightly: "If you move around again, believe it or not, I will finish you here."

Yu Luo was too scared to say another word, he looked at the people around him angrily, looking at him like a madman.His heart was full of humiliation and embarrassment. He really couldn't figure out how he had offended this person and made him pester him so endlessly.

Along the way, the two of them didn't say a word. The car drove to an entertainment club. Because it was daytime, the door of the club was closed. The man took Yuluo to an office and finally spoke.

"From today onwards, you are not allowed to return to that construction site. From now on, you will work in this office." The tone of the man was not a discussion, but an order.

Yuluo thought, being brought here today, it might be impossible to get out intact, so she made up her mind and said, "I said, I won't mess with you."

The man walked up to Yuluo, and his tone was full of domineering: "I'm afraid it's up to you whether you follow or not. The person I like has no right to say no."

"I can't let others make decisions about my own affairs." Yu Luo ignored him, he knew that if he gave up at this moment, he would be finished.

"Either let me go, or kill me." Yuluo straightened her back.

The man laughed and said, "Why should I kill you? I just want you to work here. Don't you just like to stay at that construction site as a migrant worker? Look here, you just need to stay in this office, I can earn your tuition fee, isn't that good?"

Yuluo looked at him indifferently: "So what about migrant workers, eating with their own hands is not shameful at all, at least it is cleaner than staying in this smoky place."

The man seemed to be angered by these words, he pressed his hand on Yuluo's shoulder, and it hurt Yuluo. "How clean you are, aren't you just a little bastard, beat people, robbed, stole, you haven't done anything except murder, why, after a few days of reading, you forgot all of these."

The man's every sentence poked into Yuluo's heart. If it was put in the past, Yuluo must have felt that his life was hopeless, but now, he just started to touch that little bit of happiness, he would never Will let go again.

"One person told me that we can't choose our own birth, but no one can stop the nobility in our hearts." Yu Luo said what Bian Cheng told him, and then took advantage of the moment when the man was stunned, strode out of the room .The person at the door stopped him, and he also knew that he could not leave so easily.

"That's the doctor, isn't it?"

Yuluo didn't answer him, he now knew that this person already knew everything about him.

"Do you really think you and him can be friends?" The man continued, "Qiao Yuluo, I won't stop you if you want to fly moths to a flame. Let's make a bet that one day you will come back here. At that time You will find out that we are the same kind of people." After saying this, the man waved his hand and signaled his subordinates to let Yuluo leave.

When Yuluo was about to leave the clubhouse, he heard the man's voice come again: "Qiao Yuluo, you don't know my name yet, remember it for me, my name is Ye Yang."

Yuluo really wanted to forget this name and everything that happened today. He hoped that this person would never appear in his life again. He was afraid of this person, and even more afraid of what he said, which was also the deepest fear in Yuluo's heart.
