397 In the Mood for Love
"Haha. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 Heather laughed loudly, laughing wantonly and heartily, and she laughed so hard that she began to cough violently, but even so, the laughter could not be stopped, and even tears oozed from her eyes, and she had to raise her hand to wipe away the mess that had slipped, and the hot temperature almost burned the back of her hand.
Sitting on the right-hand side of the square table was Lily, who was already laughing so hard that she couldn't make a sound, clutching her stiff stomach and slumping in her chair, her shoulders shrugging the ground, and she had no strength to move again.
Sitting on the left hand side of the square table was Paul, because he laughed too suddenly, the beer squirted out, fortunately he lowered his head at the last moment, which saved Lily's embarrassment, but Paul himself was in a mess, his hands and chest were stained with beer, so he was not embarrassed.
Sitting directly opposite was Lan Li, but he was indifferent, as if he didn't know what was going on, he slowly put down the beer in his hand, supported his hands on the back of the chair with his hands crossed, and his calm eyes were a little puzzled, as if to say: You people, the laughter is really too low.
But this was the same picture, but it made Heather smile even brighter, and she felt that her abdominal muscles were about to be exercised.
"Hey, hey, guys. It was Neil Tucson who walked over, with a complaining look on his face and said warningly, "This is a jazz bar, not a stand-up comedy bar, a little more convergent, a little more convergent." Then he put the lemonade in his hand in front of Heather, frowned deliberately exaggeratedly, and said solemnly, "You'd better not steal a beer, or you'll get us in trouble." ”
Heather raised her hands, made a gesture of surrender, and sarcastically returned, "Yes, yes, grandpa." ”
Unexpectedly, Neil didn't care at all, turned around, and then hunched his back, learned the posture of the old man, leaned on crutches that didn't exist, and limped away.
This coordinated appearance made Heather dumbfounded, but Lily and Paul, who were sitting next to her, laughed again. However, both of them had no strength left, laughed too much, and now their voices were a little hoarse.
Heather thought about it, but also snorted and laughed out loud.
After watching the movie, what she had been wanting to do for the past few months was finally done today, but Heather didn't want to go back to the hospital—at least not so soon.
It took a lot of effort for her to not only stand on the same side as Lily, whom she had just met, but also to pull Paul onto the thief ship, and even use a killer trick to convince Lan Li to take her to the pioneer village to have a look.
"I missed this time, and I don't know when the next time will be. I don't even know if there's a next time. ”
Heather knew that the sentence was devastating, but she did it on purpose. She's sick anyway, and that's a fact that can't be changed, so why shouldn't she take advantage of it? What's more, what she said is also the truth.
So, they came to the pioneer village. Went for an afternoon tea before heading to the pioneer village for dinner and a show.
It was the happiest day Heather can remember.
Before she got sick, she always had countless expectations and wishes for growing up, she used to think that she could follow a group of friends to the bar, flirt with the handsome bartender at the bar, and dance on the dance floor, she also thought that she could be like a hippie, make friends through music, and then a group of strangers she just met would sit in the street and gossip until dawn, and she once thought that she could hold the hand of the boy she liked, stand on the Hudson River, and watch the sun rise......
However, before she had time to grow up, the pace of her life was about to come to an abrupt end. She may not even be able to wait for the day when she will be able to drink legally.
Raising his head, he looked at the jazz singers performing on the stage, singing with a touch of sadness, like a cigarette wrapped around his fingertips, looking at Neil who was busy again in the bar, chatting with the guests next to him, and looking at a lady not far away, wearing a cheongsam, wearing a pearl necklace, combing her hair in a high bun, dressed up, alone, listening attentively to the performance......
Life is so beautiful, every moment is so brilliant and everywhere, even time has become gentle. However, an inexplicable sadness invaded and came without warning. She is very happy, she is really happy today, but when the happiness reaches the extreme, it begins to be bitter.
Her legs seemed to be a little swollen, and today, as far as she could, she insisted on walking on her own without using a wheelchair, but at this moment, her calves and thighs spasmed uncontrollably, her bones began to protest, every muscle was sore to the extreme, she didn't feel tired before, it was always hidden in her cells, and it seeped out little by little.
Raising her hands, she saw her fingers curled up uncontrollably, trembling slightly, she tried her best to control it, but it didn't work at all, her hands were still shaking.
Panic, uncontrollable panic, swallowed her in an instant, there was no time to react, the feeling of suffocation was breathless, she raised her hand to cover her cheeks, but before her hands could get closer, tears dripped down, and the hot temperature passed through her fingertips, almost burning her skin.
She was only sixteen years old.
Why? Why is fate so unfair? Why is she, why is she suffering from this disease? What did she do wrong that led to such a punishment? She just wanted a normal life, a normal life for a sixteen-year-old girl, why, why not? Could it be that she was too greedy? Could she just watch herself come to an end little by little?
Why?
Laughing and laughing, tears slid down. That desperation, caught off guard, hit her in the chest as hard as if she were drowning.
"Heather, Heather, what's wrong?" Lan Li sat directly opposite, and immediately noticed Heather's abnormality, he quickly stood up, walked over, and tried to inquire about the situation, but was directly pushed away by Heather.
It's just that Lan Li's shoulders don't feel any strength at all, Heather's movements don't seem to be able to exert any strength at all, that kind of powerlessness and helplessness reveals anger, and despair, trying to struggle, but nothing has any effect.
Lan Li lowered her hands and crouched down beside Heather. Lily and Paul, who were sitting next to her, were in such a situation for the first time, and they were caught off guard and didn't know what to do.
"Go away, go away. Heather shook her head as hard as she could, but she could only shake a small arc, her muscles tense to the extreme, but weak to the extreme, she could barely move, "Let me be alone, I'll be alone." You can't help, you can't help anything. Go away. ”
Heather knew she was too emotional now, she had lost control, but she didn't care, everything didn't care, she just needed to be alone. She was like a drowning person, desperately screaming for help, but pushing everyone who came near her away.
Lan Li didn't say much, just squatted next to him, harvesting quietly. Didn't come closer, but didn't leave.
Time flowed quietly like this, and the female singers on the stage hummed softly, lazy and sexy, and the noise and restlessness in the air slowly precipitated.
Heather was tired of crying, she had consumed too much physical strength all day today, almost exhausted, under this howling and crying, it seemed that all her physical strength exploded in an instant, and she wilted in an instant, and she couldn't even support her shoulders.
However, she still buried her cheeks in the palms of her hands, unwilling to look up. Because she knew that she must be very embarrassed now, she didn't want others to see it, and she was so ashamed that she couldn't even raise her head. She didn't know what was wrong with her, she collapsed in an instant, everything happened too suddenly, there was no reason.
Derek walked into the bar, but he didn't have the heart to feel the atmosphere of the bar, and under the guidance of the usher, he successfully found his goal, and he saw Heather bending down and Lan Li crouching next to him at a glance.
Could it be that something is wrong?
"What's wrong?Heather?Are you okay?" Decek's heart contracted suddenly, asked nervously, and walked forward quickly, Lan Li gave way of his position in amusement, and then Derek was next to Heather, squatted down, and looked up and down cautiously, but he didn't dare to act rashly, lest his actions trigger more unpredictable consequences, "Heather, don't scare me, are you okay?"
Heather covered her cheeks and shook her body in denial, "I'm fine. Dad, I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm happy today, everything is fine. I was just...... Just need a little space. ”
Heather suddenly wailed in the depths of her heart, she felt that she was really embarrassed and had been thrown home.
It was already a great deal to break down and cry so much at such a joyous and happy moment, and to cry so much that she could not help herself, and if she was now seen with tears and snot on her face, she would not have the face to see Lan Li in the future.
Now, even her father has appeared, and she doesn't know what to do.
"Heather, do you need to go to the bathroom?" asked Lily, who was sitting next to her, with a flash of inspiration.
Heather nodded repeatedly, and couldn't wait to affirm, "Yes, yes,"
The other three present were all men, so they naturally didn't understand the needs of girls, and when they heard this, the three of them reacted and looked at each other.
Derek stood up, got out of the way, and watched Lily push Heather into the bathroom, but Heather kept her hands in her palms and refused to look up, which was really worrying.
It wasn't until the two girls disappeared around the corner that he reacted, "Is there any facility in the bathroom here?" Derek was referring to the disabled access, with enough space for wheelchairs to enter.
Lan Li nodded in affirmation, but his gaze remained in the direction of the bathroom, and he was concerned.
In fact, he can understand Heather's mood, the better life and the more real the happiness, the more difficult it is to control the emotions of gains and losses. Because, deep down, they all know that all this is too short, like fireworks, after blooming, it will disappear immediately, and no trace will be left.
