Chapter 165 Secret Love
At this moment, Du Hongyuan didn't know that the person he was holding was actually Shen Xia. In a daze, he was supported by someone and walked to a small pavilion.
The scent of perfume from the high-end counters in the mall lingered in his nose. He turned around and saw that Gong Yoo had become shorter and his hair had become longer...
"Old Liu, how come you...became a woman?"
Du Hongyuan thought he was dreaming, so he reached out and touched Shen Xia's head.
"Your hair...how come it looks so real..."
Shen Xia slapped Du Hongyuan's hand away and said, "Don't move!"
Her voice seemed to have a special magic that fell into Du Hongyuan's ears. He immediately withdrew his hand like a robot that received a signal.
"sit."
After hearing the instruction, Du Hongyuan sat down obediently at the edge of the corridor. Just a few seconds after sitting down, he fell backwards uncontrollably because of his unclear consciousness and fell into the flower bed beside the corridor.
"Ugh……"
Shen Xia immediately helped Du Hongyuan up, then pulled his shoulders and leaned him against the pillar of the corridor.
Du Hongyuan came out of the flowers, his head was covered with dead branches and rotten leaves. Shen Xia gently patted the debris off his head and said, "How much did you drink to become like this?"
"No... not much... just a few drinks..." Du Hongyuan stammered, "Lao Liu, you... you know, I've been... I'm very upset recently, can you drink with me?"
As Du Hongyuan spoke, he bent his palm into the shape of holding a cup and stretched it towards Shen Xia, as if he wanted to "clink glasses".
"You're stupid!"
Shen Xia slapped Du Hongyuan's hand away, looked at his expression, and said angrily: "Can drinking solve your troubles?"
"Drinking... can solve all troubles... I won't remember anything when I'm drunk, hehe... hehehe..."
Shen Xia listened to his words and cursed angrily: "Psycho."
"Old Liu, you actually...actually scolded me..."
"Lao Liu, actually I've always wanted to ask you a question... Are you hiding something from us? I always feel... that there's a distance between you and us... You... You're not the same as us..."
Du Hongyuan closed his eyes, leaned against the pillar, and spoke stutteringly. Some of the words were confused, and Shen Xia felt tired trying to understand him.
After he finished speaking, Shen Xia asked, "What's bothering you? Tell me about it."
"You... don't you know what I told you?"
"I forgot." Shen Xia immediately asked, "Can you tell me again?"
"Okay, no, you don't take your brother's words to heart, right?"
Du Hongyuan opened his eyes and glanced at Shen Xia. Because it was dark, he couldn't see Shen Xia's face clearly. He could only see a pair of beautiful eyes under her big waves.
Du Hongyuan's eyes moved from her face to his lower body. The bulging shape in the Burberry windbreaker made him frown. He said, "WC, Lao Liu, I... I am hallucinating from drinking so much. You actually have pectoral muscles..."
Upon hearing this, Shen Xia clenched her fists. She tried to say to herself in her heart, "He is drunk. Don't bother with a drunkard." Only then did Du Hongyuan avoid being beaten.
Shen Xia urged: "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and speak!"
"It's still the same little thing about my parents, which you told me... After they divorced... (800 words omitted)... My dad called me last night and asked me to go to his place for the New Year... I didn't want to... I had a fight with him..."
……
After tonight, one more person knows that our classmate Xiao Du is a homeless child.
After listening to Du Hongyuan's words, Shen Xia was also moved.
She never thought that Du Hongyuan, the heartless and careless little troublemaker in class, had such a background.
After hearing the story and seeing Du Hongyuan's drunken appearance, Shen Xia felt less resentful towards him and instead felt a little distressed. However, this kind of distress had little to do with love - it was more like the kind of distress that one can't help but feel when seeing a stray cat on the street.
Shen Xia gently patted Du Hongyuan on the back and comforted him, "It's okay, the painful days will always pass."
Du Hongyuan propped his head up with both hands, looking drowsy, and said, "Thank you, Lao Liu... I... I only dare to tell you about my troubles..."
"Then why didn't you tell Shen Xia?"
"You are sick! How dare I say this to Shen Xia... Which man would show his miserable side to the person he likes... You don't understand... When you reach my age..."
Shen Xia pursed her lips and tried to hold back her smile. She listened to Du Hongyuan treating her as Gong Liu and speaking these sincere words. She took advantage of the situation and asked, "Why do you like Shen Xia?"
"me……"
Du Hongyuan closed his eyes, a tear rolled down the corner of his eye and fell on the back of Shen Xia's hand.
The moment the hot tears fell, Shen Xia realized that Du Hongyuan was actually crying.
Du Hongyuan said: "Old Liu, let me tell you another story."
[The following is Du Hongyuan's first-person perspective]
The first time I noticed Shen Xia was when I was a freshman in college. She didn’t have wavy hair yet. Her long, straight black hair almost reached her waist. She wore light makeup and was feeding the cats downstairs of the dormitory building.
She smiled beautifully, and I thought she was so gentle at that time...
When I saw her, I couldn't help but think of my mother. I thought that when she was young, she must have been as gentle and beautiful as this girl.
Later, I was surprised to find that she and I were from the same college and the same class... You have no idea how happy I was at that time.
I will always remember her calm, confident, and radiant look when she introduced herself on the podium...
Old Liu, do you remember that night at the welcome party, I kept telling you how beautiful Gu Chenxi was?
In fact, I didn't pay attention to Gu Chenxi at all. I was just looking for an excuse to peek at Shen Xia. Later, Gu Chenxi made you hate me. I'm really sorry...
Wait, why should I apologize? It’s all thanks to me that you’re dating Belle Gu now. Logically, you should call me dad!
In fact, I also secretly signed up for the Student Union. Of course, it was because Shen Xia signed up for it. But...but on the day of the Student Union interview, Xiao Chen was bullied by people from the next dormitory, and I went to fight with you. After that, I didn't get into the Student Union, and I was punished.
Do you still remember that a few months after the fight, when the punishment was cancelled, Shen Xia was there and it was she who helped us get the administrative teacher to stamp the document.
It was also that day that I stayed in the office and chatted with Shen Xia, and learned about her unusual family conditions.
Looking at her disgusted look because of me, I knew...she and I are from two different worlds after all.
Thinking about it carefully, I lived a miserable life in the first half of my life...smoking, drinking, fighting, notorious, no one respected me...
Yes, how could someone like me be worthy of Shen Xia.
Lao Liu, I am actually very grateful to you.
You chased after the beautiful girl Gu, and your success made my dead heart seem... to suddenly light up again.
You tricked me into inviting Shen Xia to the cafeteria for dinner. Actually, I wasn't impulsive at the time. In fact, I had wanted to do this for a long time. This happened countless times in my dreams.
In the end, I still didn't dare to take the initiative to say the invitation, even though I had rehearsed it countless times in my dreams, I still used you as a shield.
From that day on, I became depressed. I kept repeating what happened that day in my dreams. I called myself a coward...
Lao Liu, I know you have helped me a lot secretly, and I am really grateful to you.
If you hadn't helped me, perhaps I would never have made up my mind to pursue Shen Xia...
In this way, she will probably never know that I like her.
