how far is Forever

Chapter 2

01
In the year I graduated from high school, my childhood sweetheart Jiang Chuan and my brother Su Luoyan were admitted to University A, which many students dream of.

On the night before going to A University to report, in my small room, I was lying in front of the window like I was a child, looking at the stars and moon outside, Su Luoyan knocked on the door and came in and handed me a beautiful satin box in front of you.

I was slightly surprised: "What is this?"

Su Luoyan had a smile in his eyes: "Open it and have a look."

I looked at him, then at the box, held it in my hand, and opened it carefully. It was a four-leaf clover necklace inlaid with an unknown light blue stone. Dare to reach out and take it out of the box.

Su Luoyan smiled slightly, and he took the necklace out of the box for me. The light of the gemstone reflected the moonlight, like a beautiful fairy tale.He put it on my neck, and his movements were very light, but my heart was beating wildly.

"Congratulations on being admitted to University A, this is a gift."

I lowered my head and looked at the necklace.Looking up at him again, I feel that he has lost a lot of weight recently. Could it be that he is making money to buy gifts for me?I couldn't help asking: "Is this expensive?"

Su Luoyan rubbed my long hair: "Brother can't afford too expensive gifts for you now, but I promise that I will give our family Ruoruo a big gift in the future. The necklace seller said the four-leaf clover will give you People bring happiness, Su Ruo, I hope you will be happy."

I nodded with tears in my eyes. In fact, what I need is not any expensive gift at all. What I want is Su Luoyan's sincerity.This kind of heart is hard to find.

"Thank you brother..." Apart from thank you, I don't know what to say to him.

"What are you talking about with me, thank you."

"I didn't even prepare a gift for you, I'm such an incompetent sister." I lowered my head with some self-blame.

"You have already said that you are a younger sister. Isn't it natural for a brother to take care of his younger sister and buy a gift for his younger sister? How can someone give someone else a gift just to take back the gift!" He comforted me.

"I..." I thought for a while, tiptoed and kissed him gently on the cheek, and my face turned red for a moment, "This... This is a gift from me."

Su Luoyan was obviously frightened by my actions, and it took a long time to recover and said: "I accept this gift, I am very happy."

Hearing him say this, I was in a happy mood: "Well, my brother will always be my best and best brother."

"Silly girl, why are you starting to talk nonsense, go to bed early, and report to University A tomorrow."

"Yeah." Sending Su Luoyan away, I lay on the bed thinking about the kiss just now, and when my fingertips touched my lips, it seemed that there was still his warmth on it.

That night I had a beautiful dream, in which there was me, Su Luoyan, and Jiang Chuan jumping up and down.

The next day, the three of us packed our bags and went to University A to report together. Although University A is in the city where we live, the school is in the suburbs, and there is a certain distance from our home. All three of us had to choose to live on campus.Su Luoyan studied law, I studied art, and Jiang Chuan studied economics and management.

Where handsome guys appear, there will always be a "handsome guy effect". For example, Su Luoyan, just two days after he entered school, the law department has already selected the latest "Faculty Grass", and the girls even gave him a "Handsome Guy Effect". The title of "Iceberg Prince".For a while, Su Luoyan became the topic of conversation for many girls after dinner. Even the girls from our art department sneaked over just to have a look at him.

When this group of girls who are "crazy" for Su Luoyan know that I am his sister, I become a "bridge". Of course, I am very happy to be this kind of "bridge". Before the girls' gifts, I ate a lot of delicious food.

until……

"Su Ruo, I solemnly warn you that you are not allowed to accept any more snacks." Su Luoyan finally found me one afternoon when he couldn't bear it anymore.I was happily eating potato chips in my arms.

"Brother, who provoked you, why are you so angry?" It was rare to see an angry expression on Su Luoyan's face, and I couldn't help teasing.

Because I knew that Su Luoyan would not be angry with me, I was always so unscrupulous in front of him.

"What do you think this is?" He stuffed the phone into my hand, and the inbox was full of text messages from girls asking for a date, and each of them seemed to say, I'm glad you accepted my gift, we are in Let's meet at ×× place!

I smiled awkwardly, "Brother... I didn't mean to."

"You mean it, I know." He said mercilessly.

"Brother." I shook his arm and said coquettishly, "I didn't do it on purpose, I promise I won't do it in the future, absolutely not."

"Really?" It was obvious that Su Luoyan didn't believe my assurance.

"Brother, don't be like this. I'm your dearest sister, you must trust me." In front of Su Luoyan, I must be soft, and I must not be tough. Acting like a baby is the best way.

"Don't you know if it's an example?" Su Luoyan softened as expected, and sighed helplessly.

"Yeah, brother is the best." I smiled at Su Luoyan, but I was crying in my heart, my food, my chocolate, my potato chips, my... my heart hurts so much.

Of course Su Luoyan knew what I was thinking, but this time he did not compromise, because in the few minutes we were talking, several text messages were sent over, and the format was very uniform: Luo Yan, I am ××× , You have received my gift, let's go on a date.Saturday morning (afternoon) at ×××, we will see you there.

Although I saw such a text message, I still looked at Su Luoyan with teary eyes and said, "Brother, why don't you keep some?"

"Good boy, I'll cook something delicious for you."

"Brother! You use this trick again. You started using it when you were six years old. Don't you think it's old-fashioned?"

There is actually a history of the matter of "brother making delicious food for you"...

02
My memory goes back to the time when I was six years old, when Su Luoyan just entered our house, I was not friendly to him, but the one who reacted the most was my mother, she hated this boy who didn’t know where he came from, even though he grew up It is very beautiful.

That day when my mother came home from get off work, I jumped up and hugged her thigh and said, "Mom, my brother told me a story today. It's very nice. Listen to me, okay?"

My mother stared at me blankly for a few seconds, her expression was cold, and I suddenly felt a little bit lost.

My mother suddenly grabbed my shoulder, and I couldn't help but yelled: "It hurts, it hurts so much."

Seeing my appearance, my mother let go of her hand, but her brows were frowned tightly.I watched her walk into the balcony, Su Luoyan stood up in front of her, looked up at her with a calm expression.

I stood behind my mother, and I couldn't see her expression now, but I could clearly see her hands clenched into fists. She asked, "Who is your mother?"

"I don't know." Su Luo replied.

"Why don't you know, did your father teach you this? Didn't you!" Mom was very angry, she pulled Su Luoyan, but he didn't move.

"Who is your mother? Who is that woman!"

In a fit of anger, my mother slapped him across the face. I opened my eyes wide. My mother used all her strength for that slap just now, but Su Luoyan's expression remained unchanged, but the slap print on his left face slowly emerged.

He is neither sad nor angry, just like a delicate puppet doll.

"Mom, don't hit my brother, I finally have a brother, don't hit him." I suddenly rushed in front of my mother and opened my arms to block her.

My parents are often not at home because of work. Although I often go out to play with Jiang Chuan and the others, most of the time I lie on the window sill and silently wait for my parents to come back.

Su Luoyan suddenly appeared in my life. My mother hated him very much. I should hate him, but every time I look at his very beautiful face, I can't hate him.

Since he came, someone was with me, someone told me stories, and someone started to treat me well when my parents were away. Although he didn't talk often, I knew he was always by my side.

It broke my heart to see my mother beating him like this.

"Su Ruo, get out of the way!" Mom clenched her fists tightly. She didn't scold Su Luoyan any more, but just looked at him. Perhaps, it was the first time she had seen such a child; perhaps, because Su Luo Yan is only eight years old. Treating a child like this makes her shaken, and I am even more at a loss.

The door was opened again suddenly, and my father came back. He looked at me. I didn't know how to express it, and looked at the balcony in a panic.Dad seemed to have discovered something. He walked over and saw his mother standing in front of Su Luoyan. He quickly tore her away and asked, "What are you doing?"

Mom staggered back a few steps and didn't speak.

"Why, your heart hurts when I hit him?" Mom tried to suppress her anger and asked with a sneer.

"Luo Yan is my child, of course I feel heartbroken, you would do something to such a young child." Dad was furious, glanced at his mother, turned his head to greet Su Luoyan, "Luo Yan, Are you okay, does your face hurt? Dad will take you to apply the medicine. "

Su Luoyan stood there and shook his head stubbornly, "I'm fine."

"How could it be okay? Your face is swollen. I'll take you to get the medicine," said Dad, turning his head to look at Mom, and said coldly, "Luo Yan is my son and a member of this family. I don't allow anyone People hurt him, do you understand?"

Mom stared blankly at Dad, the tears in her eyes were spinning all the time, but she tried not to shed them. After a long time, she said "yes" three times in a row, revealing fatigue and sarcasm in her tone.

I watched my mother come out of the balcony, she straightened her back stubbornly, but she seemed to be a shell, until she walked by me-this was the only time she didn't look me in the eye, and finally left the house, not for a few days come back again.

Dad knelt down, stroked Su Luoyan's hair, and said softly, "Don't be afraid, this will be your home from now on."

Su Luoyan looked at him, his eyes were as transparent as amber, there was no pain, no sadness, and he nodded as if nothing had happened.

Dad bent his mouth: "Luo Yan is good, get along well with my sister in the future."

Su Luoyan nodded.

Dad turned to look at me, and I quickly ran to the balcony, stood with Su Luoyan, and nodded.Dad also stretched out his hand and patted me on the shoulder affectionately: "You are all good boys."

He was smiling, but I felt that his eyes were full of bitterness.

Dad stood up and said, "There is bread in the refrigerator. Dad is busy with work, so he won't come back to cook."

I nodded, in fact, it was back to the time when I was eating dry bread, nothing special.

Dad turned around and went out, Su Luoyan sat back in his original position and continued to read his book.

I stared at him in a daze, the red mark on Su Luoyan's face became more and more obvious under the sun, but his expression looked very quiet.I suddenly remembered something, so I ran to the kitchen, put a pot on the stove, started to boil water, and when the water boiled, I threw an egg into it.

I didn't know when it was cooked, so I stood by the stove and waited until the water in the pot was almost dry, then I turned off the stove, wrapped the eggs in a towel, took them out, and handed them to Su Luoyan before.

He looked up at me.

I put the egg next to his face and said, "You take it and apply it, and it will be fine soon."

He seemed to be slightly taken aback, and after looking at me for a long time, he reached out to take the egg and spread it on his face.

I hurriedly asked, "How is it? Is it much better?"

He nodded.

I happily sat next to him, propped my head with my hands, and said, "I used to fight with Jiang Chuan, and if I was injured, when I came back, my mother would wrap me with a boiled egg."

I smiled cheerfully, and Su Luoyan lowered his head. I didn't know if he was listening, but I just continued on my own: "After the dressing is done, the egg can still be eaten, it's delicious."

He still didn't speak, his head was lowered, his bangs cast a shadow on his forehead, and I couldn't see it clearly.

After a long time, I whispered, "Brother... Actually, my mother is pretty good, so don't blame her."

He nodded and suddenly said, "Thank you."

His voice was very low, I was slightly taken aback, Su Luoyan raised his head, handed me the egg, and said, "Eat it, I'm fine now, if the egg is too cold, it won't taste good."

I looked at the egg, then at him, hesitated for a while, took the egg, and began to peel it. When I was about to put it in my mouth, I suddenly stopped and asked him: "Brother, do you want to eat?"

Su Luoyan shook his head: "You eat."

"Well." I happily stuffed the egg into my mouth.

But Su Luoyan saw my frown and asked, "What's wrong?"

"The eggs... are so hard-boiled."

My mouth was full of eggs, and I tried to swallow them. I think my expression must be extremely sad.

But Su Luoyan laughed suddenly, his eyes turned into crescent moons, it was the first time I saw him smile, I don't know why, I also giggled.

During dinner, my father and mother are not at home. Their jobs are like this. They often work overtime. At night, I am the only one at home. I can only eat something to fill my stomach and wait for them to come back.I suddenly regretted that there should be a few chicken wings left from yesterday, so now I have to swallow my saliva.

I looked at the bread that Su Luoyan took out from the refrigerator, and sighed again.

Su Luoyan asked me to have dinner, and I sat on my small bench reluctantly, pouted, Su Luoyan poured me another glass of milk, put the bread in front of me, and asked: "Ruoruo, what are you doing?" What's wrong?"

"I hate eating bread, I don't want to eat it, don't eat it!" I complained, although the smell of bread is attractive, but I just don't like the taste.

"Eat it obediently, or you will be hungry soon."

"I don't want to eat it!"

"Hey, eat one now, and I'll cook something delicious for you tomorrow."

"it is good."

Hearing what he said, I reluctantly picked up the bread and took a bite. Su Luoyan was different from me. When he ate the bread, his gestures were gentle.

I looked at him while eating the bread, as if it had been added, and it was finished quickly. I quickly drank a glass of milk, and it didn't take 5 minutes to add up.

Seeing that I finished eating so quickly, Su Luoyan handed me his own bread: "You can eat mine."

I burped and waved my hand: "I'm full."

Later, I thought about Su Luoyan's sentence "I'll make you delicious food tomorrow" just to lie to me to eat, and he is just an eight-year-old child, what delicious food he can make, his father is so old The food is not good?
As a result, Su Luoyan woke me up very early the next day.

I rolled my eyes dully, looked at the ceiling, then at him, and asked, "What?"

"Let's go grocery shopping!"

I was not happy, turned over, continued to sleep, and muttered: "I don't want to go."

"Do you still want to eat bread or steamed buns that night?"

"Absolutely not!" I almost jumped out of bed, I hate bread and steamed buns the most.

"Then get up, I'll cook noodles for you, and then we'll go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables."

After Su Luoyan finished speaking, he turned and went to the kitchen. I was stunned for a while, and suddenly remembered that he just said to eat noodles, so he ran to brush his teeth and wash his face, and then took my chopsticks and sat down at the table early.

After a while, Su Luoyan brought a bowl of noodles with a poached egg on it. The soup was very clear with some scallions floating in it. I stared blankly at the noodles in front of me, and then looked at Su Luoyan again. The image in my mind is much taller.

As expected of a brother, really amazing!
I picked up the chopsticks and picked up the noodles and put them in my mouth. They seemed to be a little soft after being boiled. I took another sip of the soup, which seemed a little weak, and finally took a bite of the poached egg.

this is not bad.

Not old and not tender, there is a little bit of liquid egg yolk when you bite it, and then it immediately solidifies to the tip of your tongue.

"good to eat!"

My mouth was full, and while I was still trying to speak, Su Luoyan responded softly, and began to eat noodles.But I ate faster than him, so I waited for him, but unexpectedly, in the end, Su Luoyan put his poached egg into my bowl and said, "Eat it!"

I glanced at the poached egg, then at him, and swallowed.

Su Luoyan put down the bowl and chopsticks and said, "I'm full."

I nodded, picked up the poached egg and put it in my mouth. I am most happy to help with this kind of thing.

Su Luoyan has been looking at me, although I don't know what to look at, because my mother said that I was reborn like a hungry ghost, eating ugly to death.
