Chapter 34: The Man in Memory
After hanging up the phone, Jing Ya's eyes still didn't take her eyes off the wedding dress, to be exact, it should be the box containing the wedding dress, because Du Xiao had already put away the wedding dress for her before leaving, she just kept watching, and her ears kept recalling the sentence just now, "The stars and the moon represent the guardian of a lifetime."
How would he have known this?
Li Xiaoxiao walked out of the bathroom, and said vaguely while brushing her teeth: "Gu Yunfan is really romantic...... What else did she want to say, but she was afraid that the toothpaste foam in her mouth would fall off, so she had to go back to the bathroom, and soon her voice came from there, "'The stars and the moon represent the guardian of life' Such a romantic idea can be thought of by him, I really can't see it, wow, it really responds to an old saying, falling in love with someone can do everything for him." ”
Jingya didn't say anything, she tried to remember, trying to get some answers from the depths of her memory, but the figure of that many years ago had long been blurred, and there was no information left on her face.
When she was a sophomore, Jingya would go to the supermarket on weekends to work part-time, nothing more than to be a promoter of some FMCG products, except that the salary was not low and it was still a day-to-day, the rest was a "tired" word, very tired, she had to stand all day long, and she had to constantly introduce products to customers. Especially when it comes to big holidays, it's really about to be tired of dogs, but fortunately, the salary in those days is also three times the usual.
She didn't go home that year's National Day, because she wanted to buy a camera, and the money she saved from her part-time job was not enough, and she didn't want to use the pocket money given to her by her family. On the last day of Golden Week, she finally received three times her salary before getting off work, and happily forgot all her fatigue, she didn't bother to eat dinner, rushed in before the end of work in the Digital City, and carefully put the camera in her bag as if she had found a treasure. When she came out of Digital City, it was already early, because it was the evening rush hour bus that couldn't be squeezed at all, so she had to walk all the way.
The city is famous for its many lakes, and although there is a lot of traffic on the main road, as long as you walk on the sidewalk by the lake, you will feel very quiet and comfortable, and there are many people like her who walk by the lake, and it seems that they also like this relatively quiet place. This season has gradually entered the mode of short days and long nights, the street lights on the edge of the lake are on, the autumn breeze blows from the lake, the faint fragrance of osmanthus flowers has a thin coolness, she is still wearing a summer dress, she can't help but feel a little cold and has to continue to walk with her arms around her. Although it was cold, she couldn't help but take a few more glances at such a night, there was a crescent moon reflected in the inky blue lake, she stopped and looked up, there was a bright crescent moon in the same dark blue sky, and she could see a few stars, she was happy. While everyone else likes to watch the sunrise or sunset, she loves to see the stars and the moon in the night sky. She suddenly had an idea, opened her bag, took out the camera she had just bought, adjusted the focus, supported the body with one hand, and pressed the shutter with the other. As she walked, she looked down at the photo she had just taken, completely oblivious to the night runner running in her direction directly in front of her, the night runner with his headphones plugged in, and his attention was all on the song.
Soon I heard a "Ahhhh
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" she said three times in succession.
"It's okay, it's just me who says I'm sorry. Not only did the man not have the slightest anger in his words, but he was still looking for responsibility for himself, "Are you okay?" He reached out and helped her up.
The fall just now was too sudden, and the camera also fell, regardless of his outstretched hand, he immediately picked up the camera on the ground and nervously confirmed whether it was broken.
"Is this the picture you just took?" the man leaned over to look at the camera.
"Hmm. She didn't raise her head to continue the examination, thinking distressedly that she had worked so hard to save up so much money to buy, don't break it.
After some inspection, I finally confirmed that there was no problem before I was relieved, "Did the camera break?"
"Nope. Then he looked up at the man in front of him, he was very tall, and he could see that his face was very three-dimensional by the light of the street lamp.
"Your leg is fine. ”
"It's fine. "She is not used to being cared for by strangers like this, she is wearing a pair of denim shorts today, and her calves and knees are broken when she fell just now, but she still pretends to be fine.
But after she insisted on taking two steps, he saw through it, and he held her arm, "Why don't I take you to the hospital." ”
"No, no, no. She said nervously.
Looking at her appearance, he felt a little funny, so he had to say, "Then you sit here for a while, and I'll go buy you some medicine." He helped her sit down on the bench, "Wait a minute, I'll be back soon." ”
After he left, an old saying suddenly came to her mind, 'Don't talk to strangers casually', followed by some pictures flashed, and she was suddenly frightened into a cold sweat, and hurriedly got up to leave, only to blame her legs for some pain, and she didn't walk fast. As she walked, she regretted why she was wearing high heels and denim shorts today, and why did she walk this damn lake even if she wore these.
"Hey! "I hadn't taken a few steps when I heard a voice from behind.
"Actually, I'm fine. She paused and smiled awkwardly, "That'...... I just took a break and am much better now. "She's not good at lying.
He shook his head helplessly, as if he had seen through the mind of the little girl in front of him, and stepped forward to help her, "Don't worry, I'll leave as soon as I finish wiping the medicine." ”
She was a little embarrassed to hear him say this, so she had to obey him and obediently go back to sit on the bench just now.
He handed her a bottle of saline solution and a bag of cotton swabs, and said with some embarrassment, "You clean the wound first." ”
She was most afraid of pain, it was already painful enough to use this kind of thing to clean the wound, and she refused ten thousand times in her heart, "No need." ”
Seeing that she was reluctant to take the saline, he had to squat down to clean it up for her. Seeing that he was so close to him, he shrank back uncomfortably, he didn't know such an obvious action, but he felt a little funny in his heart.
When the saline touched the wound, she took a hard breath because of the pain, and watched him use the saline solution and carefully wipe it on the wound with iodine, as if he felt that he was a little overly concerned just now. The street lamp was not far away, and his slender fingers could be seen through the not-so-bright light. In the evening breeze, the sweet smell of osmanthus flowers was gently blown, and her hair was blown up by the wind and swept over her shoulders.
He finally finished treating the wound, "Alright, you need to rest well these days. As he spoke, he handed her the medicine in his hand, "You take these medicines back, remember to apply them on time." ”
"Okay. Thank you!" the moment they took the bag, their hands touched, his hands were slightly warm, and hers was slightly cold.
"You're welcome, it's my problem. He took out a few bills from his wallet and was about to stuff them into her hand, "This is considered to pay you for your medical expenses." ”
"No, no, no. She waved her hand and said.
"Well, then you take care of your own rest. Seeing that she had no choice but to put the money back in her purse, and when she was about to close it, she seemed to remember something, so she pulled out a photo from the innermost layer, "Even if you don't want money, then this photo will be given to you." ”
It is a seaside photograph, without any people, only the deep blue water, the night sky, a bright moon and a sky full of diamond-like stars.
"This is a photo I took a long time ago, and I see that you also like to take pictures of the night sky, so you should be able to accept this. ”
"Okay, I'll take this, thank you, my name is Bai Jingya, what about you?"
"I ......," he was about to say, when the phone rang. There seemed to be something important, just to hear him say, "Okay, I'll go right over." ”
Seeing that he seemed to have something urgent to deal with, as soon as he hung up the phone, she immediately said, "It's okay, I'm much better, you can leave first if you have something." ”
"Well, well. With that, he turned around and ran away.
After returning to the dormitory, she found a brand new notebook and sandwiched the photo in it, and under the light, she saw a line in the blank space of the photo, 'The stars and the moon are the guardians of life' She remembers that when she saw this sentence, her heart was suddenly touched, and for a long time, she liked to write this sentence. But that photo was accidentally lost when I moved to the dormitory, and then I forgot about that unexpected "encounter".
She thought back to not knowing why she would report her name at the time, maybe she had a little misunderstanding about that person at first, and then felt a little embarrassed.
Could that person in memory be him?
As soon as Gu Yunfan's car arrived at the exit of the parking lot, he saw someone waving at him in front, and that person was none other than Xia Meiru. He wanted to stop and ask her what was wrong, but before he could speak, Xia Meiru got into the car.
"Brother Yun Fan, you are going to pick up Uncle Ye, and I will go with you. Xia Meiru sat in the co-pilot's seat and quickly fastened her seat belt.
"How do you know he's back?" After Gu Yunfan finished speaking, he immediately realized that this question was a bit redundant. With her uncle's relationship with her parents, it was not surprising that she could learn the news.
Immediately he heard, "My mother told me, and this time Aunt Fang Fang and Xiao Qi also came back." ”
"Looks like you know a lot. ”
"I haven't seen Xiao Qi for a long time, and I really miss her. ”
Uncle came back this time and said that he was coming back for the Spring Festival, but he always felt that something was wrong, he hadn't seen his uncle return to China during the Spring Festival for so many years, and he had never heard him mention going home for the New Year, but it was also very good to be able to celebrate the New Year with his uncle at home. After he parked the car, he looked at the time, the pick-up time was just right, Xia Meiru hurriedly touched up her makeup in the mirror before getting out of the car.
There were a lot of people at the airport, and he didn't want to be crowded in the crowd, so he found a place with relatively few people. Xia Meiru managed to squeeze to the front, and soon heard her voice, "Xiao Qi!
The uncle's family was also very happy to see Xia Meiru, and even felt that she was a relative, Xia Meiru was also well-behaved, "Uncle Ye, Aunt Fang" shouted, and even the ten-year-old little cousin took Xia Meiru's hand and walked happily to the parking lot. This scene made Gu Yunfan feel like an outsider.
After arranging for my uncle's family to stay, I accompanied them to dinner.
"Yun Fan, I heard that you have a girlfriend. ”
"Hmm. Gu Yunfan just took a sip of soup.
"Find an opportunity to meet each other and get to know each other. Uncle said as he picked up the fish bones in the bowl.
"Good!"
Xia Meiru sandwiched a piece of osmanthus lotus seed cake and ate it casually.
