Chapter 8 The One I Love Doesn't Love Me
The moonlight shines like water, illuminating this narrow and quiet path, where tall and dense acacia trees sway gently in the evening breeze and the swaying branches and leaves are projected on the road, making the whole road an endless and ever-changing abstract painting.
Hongming sent Xiaomin home, and the two of them were silent along the way.
Xiao Min asked him, "What do you want?" Why don't you speak? ”
Na Hongming said, "I suddenly felt that I had dreamed of the present, and I was thinking about my dream. ”
Xiao Min pursed her lips and smiled, "The person next to you in the dream is not me, right?" She immediately realized how reckless she was asking, and quickly shut up.
It was too late, and he had already taken her words, "You don't believe me? I don't know what you look like in the dream, but I know it's you. ”
Xiao Min couldn't catch his words, and she didn't know how to answer at all. Seeing that she was almost home, as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw, she said in a little panic, "It's almost there, it's the building in front." ”
Hiroaki smiled. He looked at the small garden in the distance, which was full of children running around, and said, "The environment is good." You see how happy children are now. When I was a child, I lived in a large compound, and it was called a mess. ”
Xiao Min blurted out, "Heroes don't ask where they come from." ”
He turned to look at her, "You think I'm a hero?" ”
She wanted to be tactful but had no experience at all, saying only, "A lot of people think that." ”
He said dryly, "That's not important. What you say counts. ”
Seeing her embarrassed, Hongming changed the topic: "What do you do besides going to work every day?" ”
Xiao Min suddenly realized her boredom, "Ah, it seems to be at home." ”
Yes, since having him, she has become so powerful that she has no interest in doing anything anymore, just thinking about him, thinking about him again, waiting for him, waiting for him.
Hongming asked: "Don't go anywhere?" ”
Xiao Min felt a little sorry for some reason: "I'm a very boring person." I like to stay at home. She struggled to add, "But when the weather is nice, I often go out for a walk." ”
Hongming thought she was funny, "What do you do at home?" Isn't it boring to be alone? ”
Xiao Min seriously wanted to reassure him, "It's really not boring, I like to read, and I also like to listen to audio books while doing housework." Then she stood down and said, "I'm home." ”
Before Hongming could speak, several little wild cats came out of nowhere, raised their little heads, and "meowed" at Xiao Min.
Xiao Min's face brightened for a moment, she smiled happily, took out a brown paper bag from her bag, and put a paper plate on the side of the road like a trick, and then poured the contents of the bag into the paper tray. The kittens immediately rushed to eat it. Min gently stroked their little heads, like a mother looking at her own baby.
Hongming looked at her in disbelief: "You have cat food with you?" And cutlery? ”
Xiao Min said happily: "They want to eat as soon as they see me, don't you see them screaming?" It's like they're starving, and it's all my fault. ”
Hongming looked at the paper bag in her hand, "This kind of cat food isn't cheap, right?" ”
Xiao Min said proudly, "So I worked hard. ”
Hongming read the ingredient description of the cat food, "Their food is better than yours." ”
Xiao Min didn't mind, "If I get sick, I can go to the hospital, they are little wild cats, and if they get sick, they will suffer." ”
Hongming looked at her, "Like cats so much? ”
Xiao Min asked rhetorically, "What is cuter than a cat?" ”
Hongming said: "Isn't it better to have a dog? Dogs are the most loyal. ”
Xiao Min seemed to have heard some strange talk, frowned slightly, and asked with a smile: "Why do you want it to be loyal to me?" It just needs to live a healthy and happy life. I don't need its loyalty. ”
Hongming nodded, saw her caressing the kittens, and suddenly smiled and said: "You remind me of a cartoon I watched when I was a child, when the fairy came out, she was holding a flower basket in her hand, singing a song in her mouth, with birds flying around on her head, followed by a few little rabbits and squirrels, and there were deer and lambs running and jumping around her, and even the flowers were competing to bloom." Everybody loves her. You're like that fairy. ”
Xiao Min's face turned red, she smiled happily, and the light in her eyes flowed, "Hongming, I've never heard such nice words." ”
At this moment, Hongming was convinced that his nineteen-year wait was the most correct thing he had done in his life. He asked; "Xiaomin, when will we have dinner together next time?"
Xiao Min was stunned for a moment and stood up, "Next time?" ”
He smiled, "Of course there will be a next time, and I hope to have dinner with you every day." ”
Xiao Min avoided his eyes again. After a while, she only said one sentence, "Really, Hongming, don't joke around." ”
Hongming looked at her intently and said, "Really, Xiaomin, I'm not kidding. ”
She pretended to be calm, "We've only met for the first time. ”
He held out two fingers, "The second time, don't forget the one nineteen years ago." That's when I recognized you. ”
She was puzzled, "Recognize?" ”
He smiled lightly, "yes, I recognize it." The two of us must have had some agreement in our previous lives to complete it in this life. I'll recognize you first. If you look at me carefully, is it familiar? Do you remember, last life? His dark eyes stared straight at her without obscuration.
She didn't dare to look at him, she just wanted to run, "It's time for me to go home." ”
He bit his lip, "Don't like to be with me?" ”
She looked at him, "Hongming, I don't want to waste your time, I can't go to dinner with you in the future." ”
Hongming let out an "oh".
Hurting others is a painful thing for her. Hurting such a lovely Hiroaki doubles her pain. She hung her head and said, "It's cold, I'll go back." ”
He said gently, "Okay, let's go back." ”
Xiao Min screamed in pain in her heart, no, it shouldn't be like this. Hongming has been looking for her for so many years, and she is grateful in her heart. She is so happy to talk to him, she hopes that she will always have him in her life, she can always chat with him, and she will always be friends with him, or, relatives. She didn't want to break up with him, but she didn't know what to say.
Hongming seemed to read her thoughts, he patted her on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, Xiaomin, go back." ”
