Chapter 50: Reunion
Li Zaiting drove into the parking space of the roadside alley, looked at the watch after parking the car, and found that the time was just right, neither early nor late, and there were still a few minutes to get to the agreed time.
I walked into the small garden next to the S.M company and walked around leisurely.
The small garden is not large, with some French plane trees planted on the tender green turf, but the most common ones are cherry blossom trees.
Several curving cobblestone paths run through the garden, and the two sides of the path are scattered around various flower beds, and every ten or so steps there is a tree along both sides of the path, and under each large tree there is a white Western-style park bench.
Li Zaiting put his hands in the pockets of his clothes and walked slowly,
Looking at the beautiful scenery in the garden, the air was filled with the breath of spring, and I subconsciously took a breath gently, feeling the last attachment of spring left in heaven and earth, and there was an indescribable leisure and elegance in my heart.
Walking around the flowers, I suddenly saw a young girl with a ponytail sitting cross-legged on a white park bench under a cherry blossom tree with lush foliage.
A pale pink cartoon sweatshirt, sky blue slacks, and a pair of white canvas shoes, just sitting quietly on the chair, with his head slightly bowed, as if thinking about something.
At the age of eighteen or nine, the childishness on his face has not been shed, but he has already begun to become popular, and at this moment, it is like a beautiful picture scroll presented in front of Li Zaiting's eyes.
… This little girl actually arrived before me?!
Finding that he was late, Li Zaiting groaned his nose in embarrassment, reached out and pushed his sunglasses, showed a faint smile on his face, and walked over gently.
As he walked, he deliberately teased, "... OhmyGod! Lost little lambs, do you need dear Charles to show you the way forward?! ”
"Inside...!?" As if Xiaoliu was busy talking, completely unfamiliar words reached her ears, and Jessica, who was slowly retracting her thoughts, suddenly saw a hidden shadow on the pebble-covered ground appear in front of her, just blocking the warm sunlight.
Subconsciously raised her head, and suddenly a beam of sunlight shone into her eyes, Jessica squinted her eyes slightly, and tried to blink to get used to it, before she could see the person clearly.
I saw the completely strange man in front of him wearing a black jacket, black trousers, black leather shoes, a pair of sunglasses, a small strand of hair on his forehead floating on the tip of his nose, and a slightly upturned corner of his mouth showing a wicked smile.
"Ahh A thought flashed through her mind for a moment, realizing that she had met a bad guy, and the panicked Jessica subconsciously exclaimed, and the whole person unconsciously shrank back.
The sudden outbreak of dolphin sound and high-pitched voice frightened Li Zaiting for a moment.
"Hey, an ancient ......!" Li Zaiting bit his lip lightly, looked at the relatives in front of him and wrinkled his eyebrows like a figure-of-eight, his face showed a panicked and frightened expression, and he suddenly understood what was going on in his heart.
… It seems that he is being treated as a bad person again.
Taking a breath silently and suppressing the depression in his heart, Li Zaiting raised his hand to take off his sunglasses, and looked at the girl in front of him with some tears and laughter.
“… Jessica, what are you shouting? Isn't it supposed to be fun to meet old friends? Who would welcome a friend like you? ”
“… Inside...!? Hearing this, Jessica suddenly came to her senses, and her guard heart and the little hand that protected her brother unconsciously let go.
"You're Charles...?" Furrowing her eyebrows, Jessica opened her eyes in surprise, looking at the friend in front of her who was completely different from her previous impressions.
The boy who has known him for many years and is warm and cold, when he suddenly reappears, he seems to have become a different person.
This kind of strong contrast made the girl a little stunned.
The person in front of him no longer seems to be the boy who is more shy, shy, and dislikes to talk than he remembered in the past.
“… Are you really Charles? The guy who had autism before!? Holding back the doubts and excitement in her heart, Jessica unconsciously asked again.
Jingying's eyes flickered a little, and the two little hands were subconsciously raised in front of him and clenched gently, and there was more expectation on her beautiful and delicate face.
Although they have known each other for many years, Lee is still curious about what Jessica is thinking when she is free.
He said his name when he said hello just now, but it seemed that this little girl didn't hear anything clearly.
“… That's right, it's me, Charles from San Francisco, Charles who used to buy you ice cream to eat..."Looking at Jessica, who was slightly open and pointed at himself with a curious and a little cute face, Li Zaiting smiled and nodded slightly.
"Yikes...!"
The girl screamed and stood up from the chair, happily suppressed her heartbeat, a smile full of joy appeared on her pretty face, took Li Zaiting's hand, and asked again and again, "... Is your autism completely fine now!? ”
Hear this long-lost "Ah! Looking at the concern revealed in Jessica's eyes, Li Zaiting's heart warmed, and the warm smile on his face unconsciously became stronger.
“… Inside, it's completely fine..."
"It's so good, you're finally well..."Jessica's words became a little choked, and her beautiful face still had a happy smile, but there seemed to be a thin mist in her eyes.
… It's as if this day has come and waited too long.
Seeing Jessica, who was full of joy in the last second, suddenly become emotional, Li Zaiting felt an indescribable emotion in his heart.
Looking back on the previous life of long-term sorrow and suffering, the torture of spirit and pressure, the ups and downs, all kinds of tastes, people who have not experienced that kind of pain cannot understand the kind of deep depression and can not extricate themselves from the difficulties at all.
He chatted and encouraged each other with the gentle and strong girl in front of him, and spent the most difficult years for the two of them together, slowly throwing away sadness and loneliness, and getting rid of helplessness and confusion.
The reason why the distance is scary is because you don't know if the other person is missing you or has already forgotten you.
Whether it is a lover or a friend, all the encounters in the world seem to be for reunion after a long absence.
After more than two years of not seeing each other, with the joy of reunion, Lee Jae-ting and Jessica slowly sat on the bench and chatted about the past.
……
"Charles, you've completely changed, I almost didn't recognize you just now...?!"
Regaining her calmness, Jessica sat cross-legged on the bench, her hands on her laps and fiddling with her nails, and looked at Li Zaiting with some curiosity, without any restraint.
"Inside...!" Li Zaiting nodded slightly, turned his head to look at Jessica, who was sitting beside him, and found that the little girl who used to be young has now grown into a young girl.
Beautiful and delicate cheeks, slender neck, crystal eyes like jewels, light lips, the whole person is as beautiful as a Barbie Wawa.
The gentle and kind personality is still like the girl next door, which makes people feel more kind.
“… You've changed a lot, too. Li Zaiting smiled slightly, "... I used to have a phobia of the camera, but now I don't cry when I face the camera? ”
"Inside, yes...!" Tilting her head, Jessica sighed faintly.
The passage of time seems to take away a lot of things. Thinking of the past, she felt as if it happened yesterday, but when she looked at the person in front of her, it felt like it was a long, long time ago.
"Yike......!" As if remembering something, Jessica, who realized it later, suddenly turned her head and glared at Li Zaiting with some annoyance
“… Who did you say was the lost little lamb? Are you a priest in a church? ”
"Hey...!" Lee Jae-ting looked at Jessica with a pouting mouth, completely unsure of what to say.
It was a few minutes ago, and this little girl with a particularly long reflex arc only remembered her joke now!?
After clearing his throat and sorting out his words, Li Zaiting curled the corners of his mouth and joked casually, "... How can a priest compare with me, I am a spiritual teacher..."
"Just ...... you?!"
Although she hadn't seen her for many years, Jessica, who had a straight temper, didn't look restrained, and subconsciously puffed out her bun face and looked at Li Zaiting angrily.
After looking at it carefully, she had to admit in her heart that the guy in front of her had changed a lot, and it was completely different from two years ago.
Handsome with an elegant and indifferent face, mature between the eyebrows, a high-pitched nose, moderately thick lips, behind the silky hair in front of the forehead, under a pair of sword eyebrows, there are two eyes that are like crystal eyes, as bright as obsidian.
There is always a touch of curvature on the lips, which makes people feel very warm, but it seems that the corners of the mouth are slightly upturned from time to time, and it seems to outline a trace of demonic indifference, which makes people a little incomprehensible.
Jessica, who couldn't find any derogatory words in her heart, subconsciously glanced at Li Zaiting's hair, and the more she looked at it, the more strange she felt in her heart.
The earthy, long, messy hairstyle, with this handsome face...
"Hehe......" found out how her relatives looked like a big fool, Jessica couldn't help it, and laughed softly.
Feeling her gaffe, she quickly pursed her lips and forced herself to hold back a smile, but the smile on her face couldn't be hidden.
"Is it that funny that I look...?!" Li Zaiting looked at Jessica, who was holding back a smile with a small mouth, and found that her strange gaze had been staring at her hair, and she was a little speechless in her heart.
Subconsciously raised his hand to smooth his hair, and said helplessly, "... Laugh if you want, and be careful to suffocate you when you endure it. ”
“… Haha, how did you get such a hairstyle, no matter how you look at it, you look completely like a fool... Haha..."Hearing this, Jessica seemed to be unable to hold back any longer, and covered her mouth lightly as she spoke.
All right! Fools are better than . Stinking. Flow. Hooligans, heels. Tracks. Madness, rage. Dew. It's good to be crazy or something, and change your hairstyle as soon as you get home at night!
I made a decision in my heart, and saw Jessica smiling forward and backwards, her eyebrows and eyes were clear and bright, and her face overflowed with pleasure, like a blooming white orchid, which was indescribably warm and beautiful.
Li Zaiting subconsciously wrinkled her nose, and as she gently curled the corners of her mouth, a nonchalant smile appeared on her face.
This girl with a free soul is still as straight as before.
