The news that Mu Hibiscus went to Berlin, Germany, Mu Feng learned about it from Professor Yuzu.

In fact, he always knew that Hibiscus was going to Germany, but he didn't know the exact date, maybe he instinctively didn't want to know that he was so clear.

Since Hibiscus resigned, he seems to have been so busy that he has been working overtime every night, in fact, many times, he works overtime standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the office in a daze.

He doesn't quite know what he's thinking, or what to think, there are always things in life that you have been desperate for have passed inadvertently, in fact, you have tried everything to catch it, but in the end, you didn't catch anything.

This night, he deliberately did not work overtime, and after work, he drove his Audi Q7 to the apartment area he rented when he was still working in Technotech, and then went to the small bar he hadn't been to for a long time.

He had brought Hibiscus to the bar and had recommended Grasshopper to her, and he vividly remembered that night, Hibiscus drank two glasses of Grasshopper.

That kind of night was a luxury for him, although Hibiscus was the same as he is now, Shi Yan's wife, but he instinctively had some unknown throbbing for her at that time.

He remembered that night Hibiscus had vomited, and she had said for a long time that she had treasured a lollipop for years, and that when she peeled off the beautiful paper of the lollipop, it was empty, and there was nothing.

She also said that she had picked up a lollipop, and she greedily ate the lollipop, and it felt very sweet, but unfortunately she only added two bites of the lollipop, and then the owner of the lollipop came to the door to ask for it.

All these years, he had been taking her away from Ben Thanh, had been taking her with her in a foreign land, had been trying to make her forget the sweet and delicious lollipop, had always wanted her to try another candy, so that she could no longer remember the taste of the lollipop.

It's a pity that many things are fate, and it is said that fate cannot be reversed, so he worked so hard and was so persistent in wanting to change a person, and in the end, that person still looked for her lollipop.

Tang Miao sent him an email two days ago, asking him what he had gained in the end by leaving everything behind?

He was dumbfounded and didn't reply to Tang Miao's email, he thought that if Tang Miao could send him such an email, it would mean that he already knew about his current relationship with Mu Hibiscus, and even knew the wordless ending between him and Mu Hibiscus.

There are still not many people in the small bar, there are a few sparsely seated, the former white European guy, who looks a little like Jake in "Titanic", the waiter is no longer there, and the one who walked up is a typical Chinese girl, about in her early twenties, and a pair of eyes are constantly discharging when they see him.

He ignored the girl's discharge, but asked for a Grasshopper, and the girl kindly told him that it was a woman's wine, but he insisted on it.

The girl turned and walked away, and he sat by the window, perhaps because of the rain, or because the street was outside the community.

In short, the streets at this time are very deserted, and occasionally a couple can be seen hurrying through the rain with a big umbrella in their hands, and there is no romantic scene of walking in the rain at all.

The streetlamps were extremely deserted in the rain and fog, and the dim light cast down made the street seem more and more quiet and poetic, and he couldn't help but think of those rainy days in England, those times when he ran in the rain with hibiscus.

It was always raining in England at that time, and even when they traveled to Northern Ireland, they spent most of their time in the rain, and Hibiscus loved to take pictures, so they often shared an umbrella.

At that time, his favorite thing was to hold an umbrella for her, standing beside her, holding out a big umbrella, and shielding her from a rainless world in the rain and fog.

He once thought that he would hold an umbrella for her for a lifetime, and he once thought that he and her would have a lifetime to slowly cultivate a relationship, although he knew that Hibiscus was not really in love with him.

It's a pity that he thought that there was always a distance from reality, but unfortunately, not long after he and her returned to Bencheng, he could no longer help her hold an umbrella, whether it was windy or rainy.

"Sir, your Grasshopper," the girl's crisp voice pulled him back from his memories to reality, and he drew his gaze from the deserted street outside the window.

"Thank you!" There was a clear detachment in his polite voice.

"Sir, I didn't expect you to eat lollipops when you're so big," the waiter was a little surprised by the lollipop he was holding in his hand at this time, and couldn't help asking, "Is it fruit-flavored?" ”

He didn't answer, he just felt embarrassed.

He really didn't know what this lollipop tasted like, because he had bought it for years, and he had kept it on his body for years, but he had never opened it.

He also picked up a lollipop, held it tightly in the palm of his hand, and was afraid that he would become addicted to it after taking a bite, and then he could never quit.

Over the years, he has never opened the lollipop, and he has never really licked it to taste it, all he thinks about is waiting for the day when the lollipop really belongs to him

The lollipop had been with him for a few years, it had not faded, it was still in good condition, he looked at the lollipop in his hand, took a deep breath, and finally did not have the courage to tear open its beautiful wrapper.

He was worried, he was really worried, what if he tore open the beautiful wrapping paper and it was empty.

"Uncle, where did you buy this lollipop?" A childish child's voice sounded beside him, and he looked sideways, and a child of about four or five years old was standing at his desk, looking at him with a pair of clear, curious eyes wide.

"Picked up," he looked at the little boy, and then graciously handed him the lollipop, "Do you like it?" That's up to you. ”

"Uncle Xie Lu, Uncle Xie," the little boy took the lollipop, but instead of tearing the wrapper to eat it, he said to him again: "Mom said that you can't eat anything you pick up, for fear of poison, so you can't eat this lollipop, you can only throw it away!" ”

After the little boy said this, he immediately turned around and walked to the trash can a meter away, and with a wave of his little hand, he drew a perfect parabola in the air, and then the lollipop fell into the trash can without making a sound.

Mu Feng was slightly stunned, looked at the quiet trash can, a bitter smile welled up on the corner of his mouth, and then picked up the Grasshopper in front of him and slowly sent it to his mouth.

Hibiscus is walking aimlessly through the streets of Berlin, it is already the middle of December, Christmas is approaching, the trees on the roadside are already full of colorful lights, the passers-by are holding all kinds of large bags and small wraps, the adults are smiling on their faces, the children's faces are frozen like red apples, the straight nose bridge hangs in the sea, and the gloved little hands are holding sugar apple sugar gourds

Winter in Berlin is still very cold, especially outdoors, but when you look at the children running happily in the snow, you will feel that the cold is actually a kind of joy and a kind of auspiciousness.

The cold wind has been blowing, whirring sound, but the children say that it is the footsteps of Santa Claus gradually approaching, and winter and Christmas are the children's greatest hope of the year, so the cold is nothing to them.

She came out in the evening, when Shi Yan was cooking dinner with the old landlady in the kitchen, and when she came out of the living room, she heard the old landlady discussing the problem of roasted pork ribs with potatoes with Shi Yan.

In a blink of an eye, she and Shi Yan had been in Berlin for a week, and this week, in fact, their lives were not as busy as they had been expected in Bencheng, nor did they live in the hospital ward as expected.

A week ago, she went to the most famous hospital in Berlin for a comprehensive examination, and at that time several tubes of blood were drawn from her, and Shi Yan once told her that it was a little heartbroken to see so much blood being removed.

She didn't have heartache, but her arm hurt a little, maybe because of too much blood, maybe it was psychological, she felt that the arm was a little hairy, not that her legs and feet were weak.

As a result, she came out in the afternoon, and before leaving work, she sat in the expert clinic, Shi Yan sat beside her, clenching her hand tightly, and she obviously felt that his palms were full of sweat.

The expert looked at them after looking at a bunch of receipts, and then said cautiously: "Judging from the blood test, you can basically rule out the possibility that you have Alzheimer's disease."

At that time, she and Shi Yan's eyes widened, thinking that their ears had heard wrong, and Shi Yan also asked, "Is it true?" Could it be that the data on the Bencheng side was wrong before? ”

"It's true that the data over there in Bencheng is wrong," the professor answered Shi Yan's question with great certainty, and then looked at the two of them and said, "Don't worry, we are absolutely not mistaken, Kelly does not suffer from that rare disease." ”

She and Shi Yan were happy at this time, Shi Yan's originally sweaty hand almost crushed her hand, looked at her sideways and said excitedly: "Ah Mu, you are not sick, you don't have to worry about getting old soon, you are healthy, a completely healthy person." ”

Mu Hibiscus remembered that she was already crying with joy at that time, she stood up, bowed and bowed to the professor, Xie Lu Xie said it over and over again, and the professor was stunned.

It's a pity that her Xie Lu Xie is also in vain, because after the last time, the professor didn't know which nerve had a seizure, and he no longer spoke English, but was communicating with Shi Yan in German.

She was German illiterate and couldn't understand a word of German, so when Shi Yan and the professor spoke German, she could only sit next to her and stare dryly, not knowing what the two of them were talking about.

She didn't know what Professor Lu Dao said to Shi Yan, but she knew from Shi Yan's originally happy face that it must have something to do with her condition.

Could it be that she didn't have Alzheimer's disease but had something else? And is this disease also a rare disease in the world?

She didn't know what to say, because the professor quickly finished communicating with Shi Yan, and Shi Yan didn't give her a chance to ask the professor questions, so he immediately took her hand and walked out of the professor's consultation room.

"Shi Yan, do I have any other diseases?" She walked out of the hospital gate and immediately asked the man next to her.

"No," Shi Yan replied in the affirmative, then looked at her sideways and said, "Don't think so much, where do you get so many diseases?" In the past, the so-called Alzheimer's disease was due to the failure of the blood testing equipment in Bencheng, so there were some terrifying data coming out. ”

"But, that's not right," Hibiscus looked at him suspiciously, "since I don't have any other diseases, why did you and the professor communicate in German later?" ”

"The professor is German, and he usually speaks in German," Shi Yan explained naturally: "At that time, I happened to speak a word of German, and the professor heard it and knew that I could speak German, so he simply communicated with me in German, and he felt that it was more convenient to speak his native language." ”

"So, can we go back to Bencheng tomorrow?" Mu Hibiscus immediately gave up and continued to discuss the issue of her illness with Shi Yan, since she was not sick at all, it was better for her to care about going home.

"Since we have come to Berlin, and we have rented a house and paid rent for another year, how can we stay for only two days and leave?" Shi Yan said to her: "Although Berlin's winter is not suitable for tourism, but Berlin's winter beauty is still a lot, since we are here, we will appreciate the beauty of Berlin's winter, and it is not too late to go back after Christmas?" ”

In fact, there is no beautiful scenery to enjoy in Berlin in winter, because except for the snow, it is the snow-capped world, and there is a heavy snow pile everywhere, and the hibiscus is tired of seeing it after two days.

If she had to talk about the scenery, she thought it was actually the greenhouse in the small building they rented, which had all kinds of beautiful flowers and full of spring, which was her favorite place to stay every morning.

The eccentric landlady returned from Berlin on the third day after their arrival, the old lady was sixty-five years old, but she was very energetic, and probably because she was in a good mood, so she looked in good spirits.

It is said that the old lady was very difficult to get along with, but Hibiscus felt that the legend was a little unreliable, because she saw that the old lady of the landlady had no other shortcomings than being old-fashioned and stingy.

"Stinginess and old-fashioned are already a big shortcoming, if she has more shortcomings, I guess we won't be able to accept it," Shi Yan corrected her magnanimity,

In the past week, they have generally gotten along with the old German lady quite pleasantly, although the old lady was very unhappy because she broke a bowl and a plate when she washed the dishes, but the old lady still took the initiative to greet her when she saw her the next day, and she was reconciled with her.

In the first few days, Mu Hibiscus believed Shi Yan's words, she was really not sick, they stayed here, but they didn't want to waste the rent they paid, and at the same time, they could also live in the world of the two of them, which could be regarded as making up for their honeymoon.

It is indeed a honeymoon feeling, because Shi Yan took her to the streets of Berlin during the day, strolling through Alexanderplatz, taking photos in front of the Red Chamber, learning about the history of the German capital in the museum, and graffiti on the Berlin Wall

Although it was winter, Hibiscus gradually felt less cold, especially after Shang and Shi Yan went to the street a few more times, she found that the most in the streets and alleys were taverns.

Once you are tired of walking, or feel cold outdoors for a long time, you can walk into a tavern at will, ask for two glasses of hot wine, in front of the window of the tavern, feel the warmth of 22° spring, drink it slowly, and your body and mind will slowly warm up.

Over the course of a few days, Hibiscus gradually fell in love with the city where thick snow was piled up everywhere in winter, gradually fell in love with the tranquility and purity, and even gradually adapted to the arrogant cold of the wind.

She really treats this day as a honeymoon, so every day, she is happy, she always likes to go to the greenhouse to smell the flowers when she wakes up in the morning, and after breakfast, she and Shi Yan will put on a thick down jacket and hat, and walk slowly on the road where there is snow everywhere.

The landlady said that when the two of them walked together, they were like old husbands and wives and not like newlyweds, there was too much warmth and too little passion, and the two of them just laughed and felt that there was nothing wrong with the old husband and wife.

During the day, the two of them did act like an old husband and wife, because they walked together, even if they talked about eating, they were never separated, and Shi Yan always took the initiative to take on the housework in the kitchen, which was deeply praised by the landlady and the old lady.

And at night, when returning to the room of the two of them, when there are only the two of them in the whole space, they are the real newlyweds, Shi Yan seems to have an endless experience, so the gentleness and lingering of the night is an indispensable lesson, and he is always happy to do it.

The so-called honeymoon is to describe the days as sweet as honey, and Mu Hibiscus feels that the week she and Shi Yan have been in Berlin has indeed been as sweet as honey, and if it weren't for the medical report this afternoon, she thinks she would continue to enjoy the days like honey.

On the way back at night, I went to the big shopping mall and saw the pork ribs imported from China, Shi Yan was very happy, so he bought two of them, saying that he was going back to stew potatoes.

When he came back, it happened that the old lady had just come down from the second floor to cook dinner, so Shi Yan shook the pork ribs in his hand at the old lady and said that he would invite her to eat Chinese food in the evening, and the old lady immediately happily agreed to come.

Shi Yan and the old lady of the landlady came into the kitchen, and Mu Hibiscus came upstairs with their bags, and took a lot of photos today, she wanted to take advantage of Shi Yan to sort out the photos in the camera while Shi Yan was preparing dinner in the kitchen.

When she came upstairs, she first drove her laptop, and then went to get the camera, and the camera was in Shi Yan's bag, because Shi Yan was helping her take pictures most of the time during the day, so she naturally pulled out the bag that Shi Yan usually carried.

There weren't many things in the bag, just a map and a camera and a few pieces of paper, so she naturally reached into her bag and took out the camera, but she didn't expect a white A4 paper to be accidentally grabbed by her hand, and then pulled out of Shi Yan's bag with the camera.

She only noticed the words on it when she brought the A4 paper and wanted to put it back in her bag, almost all of these words were in German, and she couldn't read German at all, but there was also an English place, that is, the name, and the name on it was actually her English name: Kelly.

It was supposed to be a report, her instincts told her, and it was hers because it clearly had her name written on it.

It's a pity that the content of this report is all in German, she can't understand it, and she puts it down with a little regret, ready to put it in Shi Yan's bag, but at the moment she looks down, she finds that there is a very conspicuous English in the whole German: BenjaminButton

Benjamin Button?

Her brain instinctively flickered, and if her English translation was correct, the English sentence mixed in with the German was Benjamin Button.

Of course, she had heard about Benjamin Button, because a doctor had mentioned it to her when she was sick in Penang, and said that if it wasn't for Alzheimer's disease, her illness would probably be the same as Benjamin Button's.

Her whole body froze, her mind went blank, she couldn't understand what was written on this piece of paper that was all in German, but she knew that it must have something to do with her condition.

She folded the paper into a small piece of dried tofu and clutched it in the palm of her hand and went downstairs, tiptoed at the door to change shoes, and then quietly walked out of the door, passing by the kitchen, and faintly heard the voice of the landlord and Shi Yan communicating in German.

She walked aimlessly through the streets of Germany, and she kept walking like this, not knowing where she was going, or where she was going.

Until, she could no longer walk, until, she stopped in front of a large building, and she suddenly realized that it was actually the hospital she had come to check a week earlier.
