Chapter 231: Companionship for a Lifetime!
In the taxi, the driver drove slowly, and Lin Xiaozhu also rolled down the window to let in the cool wind, silent. In sharp contrast to the chattering of the past, not to mention Xiao Zheng, even the taxi driver noticed Lin Xiaozhu's abnormality. Seeing Xiao Zheng sitting in the back of the car without saying a word, he couldn't help but smile and said, "What's the matter, did the young couple quarrel?"
The girl is sweet and cute, and the boy is also tall and energetic. They are obviously a good match for the young couple, but they sit in front and behind each other in silence. The driver thought that it was okay at night, so he simply acted as a peacemaker and advised the young people who didn't know how to cherish.
"We are not a pair." Lin Xiaozhu said faintly while looking out the window.
Yes.
Xiao Zheng is not her boyfriend, but her sister's husband. Even if all the women in the world want to get their brother-in-law, she can't do this.
If she steals her sister's husband, is she still a human being?
But just this afternoon, she suddenly realized that in addition to her dependence on her brother-in-law, she also had a trace of inexplicable feelings. A trace of feelings that made her afraid, contradictory, and even panic.
When she broke into Lin Huayin's room and witnessed her sister and brother-in-law playing and even making out on the bed, Lin Xiaozhu was confused.
Shouldn't she just be embarrassed? But why would there be a trace of loss, a trace of sadness, a trace of - sad?
For such a long time, Lin Xiaozhu never thought about which side of her feelings for her brother-in-law was more, and never had any wrong thoughts. Until today, she suddenly realized that perhaps her dependence on her brother-in-law was not simply the dependence of a sister-in-law on her brother-in-law, but the dependence of a woman on a man. It is the greatest support for us, thank you!
So she was confused and wanted to get herself drunk, unwilling and dared not think about it.
"Ah?" The driver was slightly stunned, and then asked slightly embarrassedly. "Then you -"
"I am her brother-in-law." Xiao Zheng forced a smile. "Driver, you are such a gossip. Just drive properly. Why are you talking so much?"
The driver didn't dare to say much, but he secretly sighed in his heart that the relationship between these young people is really complicated.
The taxi finally drove to Mingzhu No. 1 Middle School. Xiao Zheng paid the fare and walked to the gate with his sister-in-law, but heard Lin Xiaozhu say, "I can go in by myself." After a pause, she said with a strange expression. "No outsiders are allowed to enter the school."
"It's the middle of the night, no one will care?" Xiao Zheng lit a cigarette in the wind,
a gentle smile in his deep eyes. "Let's go. When I was studying here, there were many bad students squatting on the roadside to tease female classmates."
"Who dares to tease me?" Lin Xiaozhu pouted.
"Don't show off in front of your brother-in-law." Xiao Zheng touched the girl's little head and said lovingly. "In my eyes, you are still a little girl who has not grown up."
As if being stepped on a sore spot, Lin Xiaozhu pulled away Xiao Zheng's big hand and bit her lip and said, "Who said I am still a little girl? In a few months, I will be eighteen years old!"
Xiao Zheng was quite surprised and smiled, "I know you are good. Let's go, brother-in-law will take you to the building and then go back."
Lin Xiaozhu couldn't resist and had to walk into the school without saying a word.
Beyond the main teaching building facing the gate, there is a green bamboo forest. The breeze blows, and the bamboo leaves rustle, making a pleasant sound. On both sides of the path in the bamboo forest, there are no less than ten floor lamps, with soft lights, illuminating the entire bamboo forest in peace and tranquility. Very elegant.
The man and woman also walked on the path one after the other, in silence, with only the chirping of insects and birds in early autumn. But even the sound of nature is gradually weakening, so that the two people in the bamboo forest are immersed in this damn silence, and they are very restrained.
It is not difficult to guess what Lin Xiaozhu is thinking. Lin Xiaozhu vaguely guessed it, and Ye Yuhua knew it clearly. Only Xiao Zheng, who had thick lines, was confused and thought that Lin Xiaozhu was stimulated by something. How could he think that way?
No matter what, he is still Lin Xiaozhu's brother-in-law.
Mingzhu No. 1 Middle School covers a large area. From the gate to the girls' dormitory, you need to bypass the teaching building, bamboo forest, and the basketball court in the back, and a football field built according to international standards. The football field is brightly lit, and many boarding students who stay on campus sit in the audience to chat, look at the stars, or snuggle with each other, enjoying the beautiful youth without restraint.
They squander time wantonly and burn every bit of youth excessively. Who cares whether the girl leaning on their shoulders will grow old with them? Who cares whether the boy lying on their legs will last forever? They are not interested in considering things that are too far away, and they don't care at all.
Love in school days can be explained in a short sentence: right is love, wrong is youth.
What does it matter? Anyway, there is still plenty of time.
Walking on the football field, Lin Xiaozhu looked at the students in the stands with envy, and a wave of heat suddenly surged in her heart, which was particularly hot in this slightly cool early summer.
She turned around, looked at Xiao Zheng seriously, bit her lip and said: "Brother-in-law. Will you treat my sister well for the rest of your life, never leave her, and grow old together?"
Xiao Zheng was slightly stunned, not understanding what this little girl was going to do, smiled, and said softly: "I will."
Lin Xiaozhu felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, but a bright and brilliant smile appeared on her face, and she held Xiao Zheng's big hand: "Then will you treat me well for the rest of your life?"
"Of course." Xiao Zheng smiled dotingly. "If my brother-in-law doesn't treat you well, who else can he treat well?"
Lin Xiaozhu's heart was broken, but her face was full of a smile that seemed to tear her face apart. She took two steps forward gently, hugged Xiao Zheng's broad body tightly, buried her head in his chest, and murmured: "Brother-in-law, you are so good."
If you can't love each other, then maybe a lifetime of companionship is also a kind of happiness?
She let go.
Or rather, she couldn't not let go.
Mother hurt aunt and took away aunt's man. She would never allow herself to compete with her sister for a man again. She couldn't do it. She couldn't do it.
Mother owed aunt, and also owed sister. From the moment she was born, she shouldered the debt of her mother. She could only pay it back, not owe it again.
There was a bright moon in the ink-splashed night sky, surrounded by shining stars. The moonlight enveloped the girl's sweet and charming face, like a dream.
She snuggled tightly in Xiao Zheng's arms, enjoying the first, and destined to be the last, tenderness.
She had just discovered her love, but she had to put the love in her heart. She knew that this love would never be blessed and was destined to be rejected by everyone. All she could do was go back to the past, like every day except today, and be the closest relative in the world with her brother-in-law. Not a lover.
"Brother-in-law, I should go back."
After she finished speaking, she broke free from Xiao Zheng's arms and ran hard, trying not to let tears fall from her eyes.
Those who can't love must learn to run. Only by running can you prevent others from seeing your tears and escape from pain.
The young Lin Xiaozhu ran, as if she had grown up overnight. She shed the last tear of her youth.
