Chapter 15: I just forgot about Xia Yan
"Why, what do you mean, I liked other people in high school?" I asked, straightening my back and looking at him earnestly.
Hearing this question, he put down the wine glass in his hand, raised his voice, and said, "Are you kidding me? I can understand that you forgot all the little things we used to have in school, but you can also forget this kind of thing?"
"Well- I'll tell you the truth, I might... I may have had amnesia, and I can't remember a lot of things from the past. "I was honest with him about the conclusions given by the psychiatrist and watched as his expression slowly became unnatural.
"What? are you amnesia?" he asked, standing up, poking at it like half a piece of wood, in disbelief.
I paused, sighed, and continued, "It's possible, in fact, I had a car accident ten years ago, and I think it might have something to do with it." ”
He was stunned, his mouth open, unable to speak for a long time, and after a long while, he sat down and continued to ask with a focused expression: "But you can still remember me, and you can still remember many things, are you just..."
"I just forgot about Xia Yan. I fiddled with the wine glass in my hand and answered him truthfully.
"That ......"
In the dim light of the bar, I saw that there seemed to be a hint of uncertainty in his eyes, and I didn't know what to say.
"Chen Ye, do you think the hat I just bought looks good?" Just as Xiao Jun and I looked at each other, Yi Xin walked over. She wore a pink cap and sat briskly next to me, turned her head sideways, and smiled to show me the hat she had just bought.
I didn't expect Yi Xin to come back suddenly, and before I could react, she said to me: "Chen Ye, what time are you going to talk, it's almost twelve o'clock, I'm a little sleepy, let's go back." ”
"But—" I turned my head to look at Xiao Jun.
"I know you have a lot to say, but we have to catch the train tomorrow, and if we don't go back to rest now, it won't be good to delay the trip tomorrow. She looked at me and said.
"It's okay, Chen Ye, then let's go back first, and we'll call again if there's anything." Xiao Jun stood up, patted me on the shoulder, and said.
"Okay, if we have to go back to China one day, we'll make another appointment and call us. I looked at him helplessly, but at the same time stood up and patted him on the shoulder.
In this way, after saying goodbye to Xiao Jun, Yi Xin and I walked back to our accommodation along the pedestrian street, and even in the early hours of the morning, the city was still bustling, with hazy moonlight, blurred stars, brilliant lights, colorful lights, and flowing silver. Dancing and lights are all part of the city.
The next day, we packed our bags, had lunch, and then got on the train and headed to the next city.
When I was on the train, Xiao Jun also called me, and I went to the connection of the carriage to answer it.
On the phone, I asked him about what happened between me and Xia Yan before, and he told me that it was just an ordinary secret relationship, just a little bit of liking, and then there was no progress in this relationship, so I slowly let go of it, and it was over.
"By the way, you and Ishin, how long have you been together. Xiao Jun asked suddenly.
"It's been a long time. I replied with a throat straightening.
"Then you treat her well, don't ask about Xia Yan anymore, let the past pass, people have to learn to let go, so that they can be happy." ”
I never thought that Xiao Jun would say such a thing. Although I have been friends with him for many years, this time I felt extremely unfamiliar with what he was saying.
After talking on the phone, I returned to my seat, looked at Yi Xin who was playing with her mobile phone, and suddenly thought of something, so I asked her, "Did you call Xiao Jun in the morning?"
"Oh yes, I did call him this morning, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I just want to say that we are in a hurry this time, and I didn't talk to him properly, I should call him, since you called him, that's fine. ”
"Well, I also sent him some gifts to thank him for taking us around these days. ”
"Oh, what did you send him?"
"It's just some food, and some small gifts, just those picture frames we bought when we went shopping a few days ago. ”
"Well, you really should give him something, he's been nice to us these days. ”
"That's right, that's what I thought, and besides, you're pretty tired these days, so let me do this little thing. Now you can sit back, look at the scenery outside the window, and take a good rest. ”
I listened to Yi Xin's words, leaned quietly against the window, and looked at the scenery outside the window casually. Outside, the road is verdant, and trains are speeding through street lamps, mountains, tunnels, villages, towns. In the evening, when the outside suddenly became lively, I looked out the window and suddenly saw the beautiful city in full view, neatly lined high-rise buildings, busy cross streets, neat factory buildings, and chimneys.
At this time, the on-board radio told us that the train had arrived in Orlando, which was our destination this time. Yi Xin and I got out of the car and looked for a place to stay, and everything was the same as before, we skillfully found an apartment-style hotel, and then we started working and playing at the same time.
Orlando is located in the central part of the U.S. state of Florida and is one of the best cities in the world for leisure tourism. The city is colorful, quirky, dynamic, and pleasantly welcoming. Orlando may seem small, but it's a big world in a small town. Ishin loves it so much that when I work, she spends her time in the city full of freshness, and every time she comes back to the hotel, she can see her full load, crafts, or souvenirs from the theme parks.
But in this crowded city, I feel extremely lonely, whenever I walk back to the hotel after work, I always think of the words that Xiao Jun said to me on the phone on the train, and his words brought me an unprecedented pressure and unknown confusion.
In the afternoon, I returned to the hotel early, and found that Yixin had not returned, so I dragged my tired body, lay on the bed, and fell asleep.
When I opened my eyes, I smelled a strong aroma of food. After that, I followed the smell and went to the living room.
"You're awake, I made you something to eat just now while you were asleep, come and eat it. ”
"Xia Yan?"
I saw Xia Yan standing at the dining table, a sumptuous dinner on the table. Garlic pork ribs, mushroom tofu soup, braised fish...... And my favorite spicy tofu. I vaguely remember the taste of eating this dish for the first time when I was a child, and when I ate it in my mouth, the rustling taste of the hemp crackled from the Tianling Gai to the lower abdomen, and the internal organs were all forgotten.
I walked towards the dining table, and then sat down next to Xia Yan, the small room was filled with the smell of food, giving people an unparalleled sense of happiness and washing away the fatigue of the week.
Immediately, I picked up my chopsticks, thinking that the taste of my memory would bloom in my taste buds. But these foods don't have any temperature, only the slightest sense of sparseness swims in the mouth.
"It's about Xia Yan's dream again. I opened my eyes, closed them again, and remembered the dream I had just had. I want to speak, but I don't know what to say, so I keep it in my heart.
"What the hell is going on? In my dream, I have a stable life, a soft heart, and feelings for Xia Yan. I said to myself. That feeling is so real, obviously you can deceive others, but you can't deceive yourself.
"Am I willing to let go of such a person?" I asked myself tentatively.
