Maybe it's because I'm a southerner, or maybe it's because I grew up living in the south since I was a child, and I don't like hibiscus in winter.

There is no doubt that winter is cold, and the kind of cold and cold is boundless, so cold that people's hearts are empty, and even the air is full of winds without temperature, blowing on the face like a knife blowing.

Mu Hibiscus used to think that the winter in Bincheng was like a street dance, and he always messed up the number of sets when he was dancing, so he was sometimes cold and sometimes not cold.

As for the winter in Berlin, she felt more like a tango, simply stiff with arrogance and hostility.

This is the second time that Hibiscus has gone abroad, and compared to London, where she has stayed for a few years, she feels that Berlin is even less popular, especially the cold wind that blows on her face, as if it wants to blow off the skin of her entire face.

"We didn't choose to come to Berlin because we knew it was so cold in winter," Hibiscus said to Shi Yan, who was dragging a large suitcase next to her, as she dragged a small suitcase.

Shi Yan smiled, seeing that her face was so cold that her face was red, she couldn't help but stop, put the suitcase aside, and reached out to pull up the scarf around her neck, "You use a scarf to wrap your face, so that your face will not be blown by the wind." ”

"It's not the scarf, it's the wind," Hibiscus shook her head, continued to pull her suitcase forward, looked at the rows of houses on the side of the road, and couldn't help asking, "How far is it?" Where do we live? ”

"It's not far, it's here," Shi Yan pointed to a small building three hundred meters away and said, "It's right there, this alley is small, taxis can't drive in, there is no way, I can only walk over." ”

"Oh," Hibiscus replied, asking suspiciously as she walked towards the small building, "It doesn't seem like an inn or something, right?" Don't we have to stay at the hotel when we first arrive today? ”

"That's not a hotel," Shi Yan came over to explain to her, "because we may be delayed for a long time in Berlin, so before we came, I asked a friend here to help me rent a house in this small building, the first and second floors of the house, and we live on the third floor." ”

Hibiscus nodded, and came over to praise him teasingly: "You are so good, it seems that you have friends everywhere." ”

Shi Yan's face was slightly embarrassed, and he only felt that Mu Hibiscus was not praising him but belittling him, so he didn't answer, just silently pulled the suitcase and walked forward with her.

The cold of winter in Berlin is actually reflected in the outdoors, once inside, the heating reaches 22°C, so you don't feel that it is winter at all, and you intuitively think that it is a comfortable spring.

Therefore, when Hibiscus walked into this small building, he immediately had the illusion of entering spring, as if the snow-capped sky he had just seen was an illusion.

And the landlord is obviously a hobby, the stairwell upstairs is equipped with heating, and there are potted plants at the corner of the stairs, at this time there are unknown purple flowers in bloom, which makes people feel comfortable.

"I heard from a friend that the landlord is a flower lover," Shi Yan explained to her when he saw Hibiscus looking at the flowers: "There are a lot of flowers and plants planted at the corner of the stairs and the greenhouse garden on the roof of the third floor, so you can see Berlin at any time when you live here." ”

"So good?" Mu Hibiscus was interested when he heard Shi Yan say this, and asked while taking off the scarf around his neck, "Then this house is definitely not cheap?" How much do you rent it? ”

“”

Shi Yan was speechless, as for the rent, he felt that it was better not to tell Hibiscus, because this house was indeed not cheap, and the landlord did not rent out this house.

When I asked Aka to help find a house where you can see flowers in all seasons, he was not scolded by Aka half to death, saying that he was nervous, this is in Berlin, a place where people can die of cold in winter, and I want to see flowers in all seasons, can flowers bloom in the temperature of cold death?

The people of Arcana have always been like this, scolding is scolding, but doing things is doing things, and finally it took a lot of effort to find such a place, but they told him that the owner was not willing to rent out his house, because the owner liked the building, and he lived in it by himself, and it was not bad for the rent.

He asked Aka for the homeowner's phone number, and then made a long-distance phone call in Ben City, but he couldn't remember how many times he had called.

In short, he was moved by emotion and reason, and after telling all the reasons why he needed such a house, he talked about his wife's illness at the last time.

He said that his wife had such a disease, and he didn't know that the day of the road was like a flower gradually withered, and his wife was in a very bad mood, and he hoped that his wife could see flowers blooming every day, and that she could see fresh life, even in the cold winter, she could see the scene of spring flowers blooming.

Perhaps it was his last mention of his wife's illness that moved the landlord, but the old German lady finally agreed to rent the house to him, but the rent was paid once a year, and the rent of the whole building was to be collected, but only for him to live on the third floor.

He didn't worry too much about the rent, because it wasn't very important to him, what mattered was that the landlord was willing to rent it to him, and it was his favorite third floor.

The third floor is really beautiful, a little more beautiful than the picture that Acre sent him before, the apple green curtains are printed with the scenery of the spring countryside, all kinds of flowers are blooming, and innocent children are chasing butterflies with homemade nets in their hands.

Such a picture reminded him of the cover of the Chinese textbook when he was in elementary school, which seemed to be such a picture at that time, especially pastoral and fresh, with a faint fragrance of earth.

With goose-yellow fringed sofas, white coffee tables and dining tables, light purple fabric tissue boxes, and milky white carpets, it is like stepping into a spring-like world as soon as you enter such a room.

Hibiscus immediately liked it when she walked into the room, and she didn't even bother to carry her suitcase, she kicked off the shoes on her feet, and walked in barefoot without even wearing flannel slippers.

The third floor is a typical one-bedroom apartment, because only half of the entire upstairs is used for the room, and the remaining half is used to build a glass-walled greenhouse, and the greenhouse is planted with a variety of flowers and plants.

Hibiscus walked into the greenhouse and saw red flowers and green leaves, all kinds of flowers competing to bloom, golden sunflowers standing next to champagne roses, tulips snuggling next to nightshades, and gladiolus standing behind the delicate phalaenopsis

The outside of the glass wall is covered in silver, and the white snow is piled up on the roofs of different heights, and the spring flowers in this greenhouse are completely two extremes of the world.

"It's like a fairy tale," Hibiscus sighed, looking at the spring-like greenhouse and the snow-capped glass walls, "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it was real." ”

Shi Yan laughed when he heard this, and quipped: "Only you think so, in fact, many people like winter, you don't know the way, in the eyes of the poet, the snowy winter is the world of fairy tales." ”

"In the eyes of the poet, what is not the world of fairy tales?" Mu Hibiscus glanced at him, "Poets are like that, not to mention winter, even autumn, they can also start to be sad, sad, and sad about the autumn breeze, as if life is terrible when it comes to autumn, and it is really winter, but they think that winter is the hotbed of spring, saying that the hope of spring is pregnant under the heavy snow." ”

"Hehehe, I knew that you shouldn't have studied architectural design, you should have become a poet," Shi Yan teased her as he reached out and pulled her out of the greenhouse's flower room.

"I'm not so talented," Hibiscus shook his head, denying Shi Yan's proposal: "I'm born with a bad language, and I'm most afraid of writing essays when I study, and I'm also a poet, I want to write a poem, which is estimated to make my Chinese teacher half angry." ”

"Okay, I didn't say that," Shi Yan stopped arguing with her, pointed out a suitcase to her, and motioned for her to hurry to the room to hang up her clothes.

"The kitchen is on the first floor, and we have to share a kitchen with the old landlady," Shi Yan waited for Hibiscus to hang up her clothes before telling her: "The old landlady is said to have a strange personality, and we have to let her try to order it, but she has been traveling to other places in the past two days, so it will be a few days before we can see her." ”

Mu Hibiscus nodded, it doesn't matter if the old lady of the landlady is not there, she is not good at dealing with strangers, especially since the landlord is still an old lady, she is a little worried about whether she will have problems communicating with her.

She doesn't speak German, that's for sure, and the landlady doesn't know if she can speak English, if the old lady is a native of Germany and has never learned English, then, in the next few days, it is estimated that she and the old landlady will not have to communicate, and then Shi Yan can only communicate with the old landlady.

Because the landlady was not at home, Hibiscus and Shi Yan had not yet had a chance to meet the eccentric old lady in Aka's mouth, but they liked her house very much, and they were very satisfied with the layout and layout.

The kitchen is shared, and at first Hibiscus was worried about whether it would be too crowded when she and the landlady were huddled together to cook, but when she walked into the kitchen, she realized that her worries were unnecessary, because the kitchen was spacious enough to accommodate several people to cook and cook in it.

They didn't know how strange the old lady was, because they hadn't seen it yet, but they felt the care and kindness of the old lady, because the kitchen had prepared ingredients and a note for them.

"And what's on the note?" Mu Hibiscus saw Shi Yan pick up the note and read it, because it was German, she didn't understand a word, so she could only ask someone who could understand.

"The landlord said that she knew that we were coming today, and she should personally cook us a meal to welcome us, but her travel plan was done in advance, and temporary changes would disrupt the plan behind, so she could only travel according to the plan, and she couldn't entertain us in person, she was very sorry, but she prepared enough ingredients for us, and hoped that we would make a delicious dinner ourselves, and at the same time wish us a happy stay at her house, and have a happy meal!"

"Oh, the old lady is really good," Mu Hibiscus listened to Shi Yan's words, looked at the sumptuous ingredients, and nodded with satisfaction: "It seems that this landlord should be easier to get along with, right?" ”

"It's hard to say," Shi Yan didn't dare to guess, because according to the information he got from Acre, the landlady was not very easy to get along with, and said that she was an old-fashioned old German lady.

Regardless of whether the landlord gets along well or not, in the absence of the landlord, the two of them are very comfortable, although they are in a strange country and in an unfamiliar environment, but because of the pleasant environment, the two of them quickly adapted to it.

Hibiscus is not very good at cooking German food, although there are ingredients, but in the end they are also German ingredients, so she is a little dazed when she looks at these ingredients, and she doesn't know how to start.

Shi Yan, on the other hand, has always been more proficient in cooking than hibiscus, not to mention that the old landlady also left a German recipe for them, so he made a hearty dinner according to the recipe with the ingredients prepared for them by the old landlady.

The dinner was indeed very rich, but Hibiscus did not eat much, mainly because she was not used to these German dishes, and the other was that she really had little interest in eating bread, but the staple food here was bread.

Shi Yan said that it doesn't matter if you don't like the food here, tomorrow I will go to the mall to buy some rice and come back, and we will all cook Chinese food in the future, so that the old German lady will envy us.

Besides, we may not have to stay here for long, maybe tomorrow we will check and find that you are not sick at all, but you are just a mistake on the side of Bincheng, so we can go back immediately, who wants to stay in this snowy fairy tale world?

It is indeed a fairy tale world of ice and snow, as long as you step out of the door, you can feel the snow and the arrogant cold, and when you enter the house, you can feel the warmth of spring.

It's not that Mu Hibiscus hasn't stayed in a foreign country, or he hasn't been in a foreign country with Shi Yan, so he and she couldn't sleep on the first night, although they didn't wait for tomorrow morning to take a bath like the Germans, but still took a bath at night before going to bed according to the custom of the Bencheng side.

"I can't sleep," Hibiscus rolled over in Shi Yan's arms, changed into a comfortable position and asked, "What about you?" ”

"I can't sleep either," Shi Yan said truthfully, stroking her back in the dark, and whispered: "Ah Mu, I have made an appointment with the expert tonight, and I will go to go for various examinations tomorrow morning, I hope it is really the doctor over there who is mistaken." ”

"Well, that's what I hope too," Hibiscus replied, and then sighed heavily, "But the point is, this possibility is very small, very small, so it is better not to hope, hope is very likely to turn into disappointment." ”

Shi Yan stopped talking, of course he understood this truth, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, and for a situation like hibiscus, it is true that he can't have too much hope.

But people always yearn for beautiful things, knowing that there are many things that they can't have too much hope for, but they always unconsciously hold such hopes.

On this night, their first night in Berlin, they stayed in an unfamiliar room, lying on an unfamiliar bed, listening to the rustling sound of falling snow outside the window, and feeling the 22° spring-like warmth indoors.

The night was quiet, and because no one spoke, the sound of snow falling outside the window was clear, and it came to their ears, as if to tell them that tomorrow would be colder.

The next day it was really colder, minus 5 degrees, and when Hibiscus came out of the house, he was wrapped in a thick down jacket and wearing long plush boots that he had bought before leaving the country.

Because they had to go to the hospital to have their blood drawn, they didn't eat breakfast, Ah Ka called a taxi for them and waited for them at the mouth of the alley, so the cold they could feel, that is, the distance from this small building to the mouth of the alley, was about 300 meters.

Everyone was silent all the way, because the expert was contacted by Aka, so Hibiscus met Aka waiting for them in the hospital hall, a Chinese-German mixed-race middle-aged woman in her thirties.

Aka seemed very enthusiastic, she praised Hibiscus for being so beautiful when she saw it, and praised Shi Yan for having a vision, and found a wife who was even more beautiful than his former girlfriend Lin Chenxi.

Mu Hibiscus only felt embarrassed when she heard this, where did she have Lin Chenxi beautiful?

Lin Chenxi's skin, big eyes, straight nose bridge and cherry mouth are not comparable to her.

"Aka was my classmate when I was studying in the United States, and she is more enthusiastic," Shi Yan introduced to Hibiscus: "Aka's personality is very aggressive, a bit like a boy, so she has more boys and few girls, almost nothing." ”

"Hey, don't speak ill of me," Aka saw Shi Yan whispering to Mu Hibiscus, immediately turned around, walked to Mu Hibiscus again, and whispered to her: "Don't trust Ken too much, he is a big carrot, when he was in love with Lin Chenxi before, he secretly liked the school flower of our school,"

Hibiscus laughed when she heard this, and she knew that Aka had said this on purpose, because Aka thought that Shi Yan was speaking ill of her, so she immediately came over to tell her bad things about Shi Yan.

"What kind of nonsense did you make up to tell Hibiscus?" Shi Yan knew that Aka was not good when he saw him like that, Aka sometimes likes to play pranks, Qiao Zixuan and Gu Xue are now stiff because of Aka's pranks.

"How can I make up any mess?" Aka had an innocent expression on his face, then shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm just telling the truth, have you always been popular with girls?" ”

"Go, go, who's popular with girls?" Shi Yan was convinced of her, and quickly changed the topic: "That, Qiao Zixuan and Gu Xue's marriage really can't be concluded." ”

"Isn't it?" Aka was successfully diverted from the topic, and then shouted excitedly to Shi Yan: "Then have the two of them separated?" I have to get ready to go to China, and ouch, my visa hasn't been issued yet. ”

Mu Hibiscus couldn't help but smile when she saw Aka like that, although she didn't know what the relationship between Qiao Zixuan and Gu Xue and this Aka was, but judging from Aka's expression, she obviously had an exaggerated element in it.

Before that, Shi Yan had already passed on the results of the tests that Hibiscus had done in Bincheng to the professor, and the professor and the experts such as the master and doctor he brought with him had also studied her test results.

"First of all, we have to do a more comprehensive examination," the professor said to Mu Hibiscus: "We have seen the test results you did in Bencheng, and there are many data that contradict each other and do not match your condition, so we guess whether there is a problem with the testing equipment in Bencheng, of course, the examination we are going to do now is estimated to be more detailed than what you did in Bencheng, as for whether you really have the so-called Alzheimer's disease, this will have to wait for the test results to come out." ”

Mu Hibiscus nodded, she was treated in this hospital, of course, she had to re-examine in this hospital, she had known this for a long time, but she really didn't dare to hold out any hope for the results of the examination.

Seven tubes of blood were drawn, and Mu Hibiscus didn't know what tests she had to do to draw so much blood, but it didn't matter anymore, the important thing was that in addition to drawing these seven tubes of blood, she also had to do some other tests such as electrocardiogram and B-ultrasound.

She was busy from morning to three o'clock in the afternoon, and she was so hungry that she almost fainted after the last examination.

"Here, hurry up and eat something," Shi Yan handed her the lunch that she had prepared for her, and then said flatteringly: "I bought this for you in a Chinese restaurant, you have to give some face to eat it anyway, in Germany, waste is fine." ”

Mu Hibiscus smiled when he heard his words, took the lunch box and couldn't help but say, "Don't worry, I have to eat enough for this meal anyway, and I must eat more, because I am worried that I will not be in the mood to eat after waiting for the results of the Zhilu Dao test." ”
