Chapter 235 Escape
Chapter 235 Escape
Duan Hongji narrowed his eyes slightly, as if recalling some distant past events.
Duan Hongji looked very unfamiliar. At least, the Duan Hongji in the past never had the leisure time to reminisce about the past with the three brothers of the Duan family.
Duan Hongji patted Duan Ye's dog head casually and slowly opened his mouth.
"I met your mother, Axia, when we were in college.
I dropped out of high school and returned to my hometown to help my parents with farming. You all know that I come from a farming family. Later, my parents passed away. I was unwilling to work in the fields for a lifetime, so I came to the city to make a living. I read a few books with a sour mind, accumulated some capital and knowledge, and thought I was great. I wanted to be a literary youth and save more money. When I saved enough money, I would become a - let's not talk about it.
You may ask me, if that's the case, how did I meet Axia at the university gate? The reason is simple, neither of us is a university student - yes, we are a pair of illiterate children. I set up a snack stall at the university gate, and she sold small accessories at the university gate. We went out in the wind and rain, set up stalls together, and were chased by the urban management together.
You probably don't want to hear this, right? Anyway, as time went by, we gradually became familiar with each other, and when we chatted, we would talk about each other's situations. I am a bachelor without parents, while Axia is better off than me, with both parents and a younger brother.
Axia was admitted to a key university, but unfortunately, her brother was also admitted to an expensive local technical college. As you know, things in this world are often like this. Her parents spent all their efforts to support her brother's studies, and Axia could only give up her studies and become a "great and selfless" sister.
Axia was unwilling to go home and get married, so she went to the local "university" - actually a junior college, and worked as a small vendor in front of the school. She said that sooner or later she would be able to save enough money and enter the university that she had missed.
I've seen Axia's report card. She's really good. She's so good that I feel ashamed. In front of her, I'm like a bug rolling in the mud. She's a phoenix that flew out of a grass nest, and I'm a country boy from the countryside. She's a star in the sky, and I'm in the mud. Second brother, why do you have this expression? Okay, I won't say anything more.
Don't look at me like this now. I was young and crazy at that time. I had evil thoughts about Axia. Duan Ye, what are you laughing at? You little bastard! ... At that time, "Titanic" was being introduced to China, telling the story of a poor boy and a rich girl. As soon as I saw the poster, I thought of her, so I invited Axia to watch the movie. I spent the income from the stall for half a year, bought myself a suit, bought Axia a skirt, bought two movie tickets, and booked a seat at a mid-range restaurant.
When A-Xia saw me like this, she laughed so hard that she fell down, saying that my clothes looked like they were stolen. You asked me if I succeeded? You bastard! Your mother is not a wallet, and I am not a pickpocket, so what do you mean by success or failure? If you keep talking like that, I will succeed on your face.
At that time, I didn't even dare to touch her finger. I was also a hipster, pretending to be aloof and arrogant, and refused to look her in the eye. We didn't say a word during the movie. Other couples hugged each other and cried, but we even had separate buckets of popcorn. I secretly glanced at her from the corner of my eye, hoping that she could also secretly look at me. After the movie ended, we went to the restaurant to eat. I asked for a medium-rare steak, and A-Xia followed me and asked for a medium-rare steak. It turned out to be dry, hard and unpalatable. My teeth were almost worn out, and there was no chance to talk.
Duan Ye, what did you say? 'The steak is not rare'? Otherwise, how can you say you have a pig brain? I didn't know this at that time. I was a real country bumpkin who loved to pretend. A Xia said the same thing to save my face. You are not even as good as a hair of your mother. I don't know how she, such a smart person, could give birth to you. No wonder that fox doesn't like you.
After this date, I felt ashamed and embarrassed. It took me a long time to prepare myself mentally before I dared to set up a stall in front of the school again. But A-Xia didn't come.
I thought she saw through my thoughts as a country bumpkin and despised me, and I felt very upset. When I thought about the last time I met her, I couldn't even have a good conversation with her, and I only cared about my ridiculous self-esteem, I felt even more like a jerk. I was so depressed that I didn't know how many customers I miscalculated. "
Duan Hongji stopped talking here.
Dan Ye asked anxiously: "Then what? Then what?"
Father and mother gave birth to their three children, and their relationship is deep. Father's successful experience is definitely worth learning from. Of course, this doesn't mean that Duan Ye really wants Zhao Ruoming to give birth to his children! Duan Sanshao is just curious, curious.
Duan Hongji paused, glanced at Duan Ye, and thought that raising a son to provide for one's old age was bullshit. Duan Ye looked like he didn't care about his father because he had a lover. How could he be a supporter of his own?
Duan Cheng rolled his eyes at Duan Ye and poured a glass of water for Duan Hongji. Duan Hongji took two sips to moisten his throat before continuing to speak slowly.
"I will always remember that day. It was the happiest day of my life...
I set up the stall for two or three days, but I felt so dazed that I simply gave up. I went back to my shabby rental house and lay there for a day. I had no appetite, no water or rice, my body was so hot that I could steam eggs, and my throat was so dry that it was smoking.
I thought I was going to die, and I thought to myself, I might as well die. Thinking this, I fell asleep...
In a daze, I saw Axia. I thought to myself, I am so wishful thinking. I can even dream about her.
I said, 'Are you coming to pick me up?'
Axia didn't answer, so I thought it was a dream. But she suddenly reached out and patted my face - just like this."
At this point, Duan Hongji grabbed Duan Ye's head and patted his face. A clear red mark suddenly appeared on Duan Ye's face.
Duan Ye said angrily: "Old man, why do you need to show me if you want to? My second brother is obviously closer to you!"
Duan Chengfang glanced at Duan Ye, and something flashed across his eyes so quickly that it was completely invisible.
"I felt pain and opened my eyes. Then I saw clearly that it was really A-Xia. She was wearing a rustic red dress and a pair of rubber shoes. It was so funny.
Before I could figure out what was going on, A-Xia grabbed my hand and said to me…"
Duan Hongji closed his eyes slightly, as if he was trapped in a long memory and couldn't extricate himself. Even the EQ-less Duan Ye noticed something strange and stopped talking.
Duan Hongji was silent for a long time before he said, "She said, 'Duan Hongji, let's run away.'"
Let us run away and not be found by fate.
