Chapter 8: Paper Cranes and Spinning Tops (Part II)

Gao Dakuan couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this pink lollipop, and turned his head to see the owner of the lollipop clearly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

At some point, a teenager sat beside him. The boy is thin, his skin is very fair, and his facial features are also extraordinarily delicate, if it were not for the Adam's apple on his neck, it would be easy to mistake him for a girl at first glance, and his aqua blue eyes flashed with smart light.

"Uh... Thank you. Somehow, Gao Dakuan took the candy handed over by the young man with some ghosts, and after taking it, he only felt strange in his heart, but there was no reason to return it like this, so he had to put the candy in his mouth.

The sweet and greasy taste filled his mouth, forming sweet saliva flowing into his throat, and Gao Dakuan felt that his spirit had improved a lot, and the pain on the sides of his temples had also reduced his weakness.

Gao Dakuan smiled gratefully at the blue-eyed boy, and the blue-eyed boy smiled back with kindness.

"Uncle doesn't seem to be from here?" asked the blue-eyed boy, and then took out a paper cup with coffee from the pocket on the side and handed it to Gao Dakuan. The blue-eyed boy didn't insist, took out a paper bag from his shirt pocket, poured all the gray-white solid particles inside into the coffee, shook the paper cup and stirred it evenly, took a sip, and nodded with satisfaction.

"It's the first time I've been here today, um... How did you notice something?" Gao Dakuan asked curiously.

The blue-eyed boy smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's just that I've been here for a long time, and I'm too familiar with this place, so I will notice every time there are unfamiliar faces." ā€

Hearing this, Gao Dakuan looked the blue-eyed boy up and down again, a light blue high-necked shirt, a white trousers underneath, barefoot and no shoes, looking very pure and natural. Gao Dakuan couldn't imagine why such an ordinary teenager would stay in this mental rehabilitation center for a long time.

The blue-eyed young man seemed to see what Gao Dakuan's heart was thinking, and smiled slightly: "I am indeed different from ordinary people. He pointed to his brain and continued: "When I was very young, I used to get stuck in my own unique thought patterns and didn't respond to anyone or anything, and my parents thought I had a hearing problem and took me to the doctor, and the doctor removed my tonsils to treat my hearing. ā€

Gao Dakuan couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, and the blue-eyed boy also smiled, as if that encounter had not happened to him.

"All in all, I do have something different. The blue-eyed boy said.

Gao Dakuan did not delve into the other party's medical history, for fear of stimulating the young man. The two of them sat quietly on the bench and felt the warmth of the sun. The young man sipped his coffee and looked old, while the older man had a lollipop in his mouth.

It's a funny sight.

After a few sips of coffee, the blue-eyed boy placed the paper cup on the side of the bench, took out a square piece of colored paper from his hand and began to fold it.

"Uncle, you seem to have something on your mind, did you just have a nightmare?" asked the blue-eyed boy as he folded paper.

There was not much left of the lollipop in the tall and wide mouth, and his spirit was much better than before, but he still had lingering palpitations when he recalled the dream he had just had.

"Well, it was a terrible nightmare, dreaming of some deceased people. After saying that, Gao Dakuan regretted a little, and it was a little too depressed and gloomy to mention his death in front of a child.

I didn't want the blue-eyed young man to understand but nodded and said softly: "Please mourn, let the deceased and the deceased let them pass, what we have to face is always the future." Gao Dakuan didn't want to be comforted by a child who was much younger than himself, but Gao Dakuan also heard a lot of sadness from his words, and there was a vicissitudes of life in this blue-eyed boy that was extremely inconsistent with his youth.

At this time, a paper crane was born from the slender hand of the blue-eyed boy, and a gust of wind blew, and the paper crane seemed to take the opportunity to fly.

"When I was very young, when I left home to go to the hospital, my mother gave me a jar and told me to fold a paper crane every day, and when the jar was full, I could go home. I fold it every day, and I fold it seriously, although I have to fold a lot of it every day, but every day I put a paper crane in the jar, because I don't want to break the rules set by my mother. Speaking of this, the blue-eyed boy smiled self-deprecatingly: "Maybe I'm more afraid that when the jar is full, my mother won't be able to fulfill her promise." ā€

The lollipop had completely melted in the air, but Gao Dakuan still held the candy stick in his mouth and quietly listened to the story of the blue-eyed boy.

The blue-eyed boy smiled, placed the paper crane next to the coffee cup, took out a simple black wooden spinning top from his arms, played back and forth between his hands, and continued: "Now that I have seen everything, many times we are like this spinning top, which can only spin gracefully with external force, and when we are alone, we can only roll down in a gloomy manner. With that, he placed the top next to the paper crane and spun it gently.

Gao Dakuan savored the words of the blue-eyed boy, and his mind couldn't help but fall into contemplation, and the words intentionally or unintentionally touched his heart.

At this moment, Gao Dakuan's PMT showed that there was a call in, and Gao Dakuan learned that it was the Metropolitan Police Department's quiet work that he needed to solve, Gao Dakuan spit out the sugar stick in his mouth, and said to the blue-eyed boy with some embarrassment: "That, I'm in a bit of a hurry here, and I need to do it, so... Excuse me. ā€

The blue-eyed boy smiled and nodded very understandingly, stood up tall and wide, thought for a moment and continued: "Thank you for the sugar, and thank you, I hope you will fill that jar sooner or later." The blue-eyed boy smiled and nodded.

Looking at the tall and wide departing figure, the blue-eyed young man said faintly: "Mom is gone, what's the point of filling the jar?" said as he got up from the bench and left barefoot.

An inconspicuous butterfly fluttered out of nowhere, hovered in the air for a few weeks, and finally landed on the edge of the coffee cup on the bench, on which there was a residual drop of coffee, and the butterfly's siphon touched the brown droplet. Perhaps it was the usual bitterness, and the butterfly suddenly flew up in disgust. However, after only two laps in the air, he fell down heavily, fell on the hard ground, and gently flapped the butterfly wings twice, and then remained motionless.

No one noticed that this inconspicuous butterfly died inconspicuously, just as no one noticed the spinning top spinning next to the paper crane, which kept spinning and never stopped.
