Chapter 27 Childhood Sweetheart
"Tell me about yourself. www.biquge.info"I gave her a look.
After she understood, she nodded, pinched her clothes with her fingers, and stood in front of everyone embarrassed.
"Hello everyone, I'm from China. It's called Zhao Mengyan, thank you for taking care of me who don't know each other during this time. She couldn't even bite out her nervous syllables. When I looked up again, I was already sweating, and I tried to make my smile look more friendly.
"Her name came from the dreamlike fireworks her parents saw on a Chinese holiday." I explained the origin of her name, and I think she told me it herself.
Zhao Meng..... Smoke? Sister Linna used the Western habitual thinking, with the idea of the first name and the last name behind to understand the name of her name.
Wu Yin suddenly stood up and startled everyone, she kept staring at Zhao Mengyan for a while before she spoke: "That! I'll call you Sister Mengyan. ”
Looking at the serious Wuyin, I don't think she will refuse. Sam stroked the frame of his glasses and stood up, slowly opened his mouth, and said bravely in his jerky Chinese, "You...... Good....... I am...... Sam....... Be...... Master's ......... Apprentice ........."
"Hello Sam." Zhao Mengyan returned the salute to Sam in standard Chinese.
"Thank you....... Thank you......." Sam sat down satisfied.
It was already past eight o'clock in the evening, and many people still had things to do, so I didn't want to delay them, so I said to her: "Okay, Mengyan knows almost everything, let's get down to business, this story may be a bit long, so ......."
"Ahh Well! She smiled very gently and found a place to sit down.
Ye Bai ....... "Sister Linna suddenly called me.
"How?"
"Is Mengyan a surname, or is Smoke a surname?" Sister Lina muttered for a long time and every result. At this time, Uncle Red whispered something in her ear, and she looked suddenly realized: "So that's the case." ”
"I'm sorry, don't bother, Ye Bai, you can say it." She shrank in embarrassment.
Feeling dozens of eyes concentrating on me, I breathed in the silent air, and the images with each of the dreams were like a movie in my mind.
My clenched fists relaxed a little, and I opened my mouth under the many anticipatory gazes.
"In Chinese parlance, we call it Fa Xiao. refers to childhood sweethearts or friends who grew up together. I was only about seven years old when I met her, and she was a little older than me, so she was my older sister. In fact, when I was a child, she always protected me as a younger brother, whenever I was bullied, whenever I cried, she would always help me drive away the children who bullied me, and then hugged me and said, 'Don't be afraid, everyone in the class calls me a tigress, no one dares to bully you with me'. I suddenly laughed: "You know what? At that time, the only real friend I had around me was her, and that's it. ”
I paused to take a sip of water, not actually because I was thirsty, but because I remembered that I was once excited. And Mengyan's gaze stayed on me when I said, 'The only true friend is her'.
"Ahem! I continued. I was very timid when I was younger, she was a lively and bold girl. She often pulls me to play and teaches me to learn. By the way, she was an honor student, and I was at the bottom of my class. Our home is also very close, just a building away, and we who often play together are gradually being noticed by our parents. Her parents didn't think I had a good future for her to stay away from me, and my parents were very good people, a couple who had been good people all their lives, and they saved a girl who was drowned in the fire in a fire, and that girl was her. ”
In my memory, my parents have always been gentle and kind, but ordinary people who shimmered with the brilliance of human nature, and I think they can also believe that I can go back with a smile after I leave.
"That day, because her parents ruthlessly belittled me, they stopped laughing at me and comparing me to her all the time in their words and expressions. Brutally struck my beautiful fantasies. My parents were angry about this and wanted to talk to her parents, but they didn't want to think that there was a fire downstairs that day. I didn't know anything about the following things, I handed over the right to speak to Mengyan, I said: "If you don't speak Chinese if you don't speak English, I'll translate." ”
She bit her pink lip lightly, and her eyes were complicated and she continued with my words: "At that time, I was resting on the bed, and the little rising temperature in the room didn't feel anything at first, but I felt warm and comfortable. Then I woke up with a burning pain, and I found that there was a sea of fire around me, and there was nowhere to escape. Scared sat in place desperately shouting dad and mom, the flames were almost burning to me when dad appeared, he picked me up and walked out, but the trembling arm kept squeezing my body, I screamed in pain, and kept struggling, but the more I struggled, the more he squeezed me, I couldn't breathe anymore, and he relaxed a little. I looked back at the fire at home and didn't say a word, just silently rested my head on my father's shoulder, as if this moment was the most reassuring. ”
As she spoke, she shed a teardrop as clear as crystal: "But there are many residents in the stairs who want to leave and want to live. In the crowd, I finally noticed the burn on his arm, and thought: It turns out that Dad has been holding on to the pain and trying to prevent me from falling. I understood his behavior just now, and when he reached the seventh floor, the closer he got to the bottom, the more crowded it became, and many people squeezed down as if they didn't want to die, and what was even worse was that there were two people who quarreled over who went first, blocking everyone so that everyone couldn't get out, and shouting that 'to die together, anyway, there are so many people buried with it, it's not a loss at all.' I didn't want to die at all, and neither did the others, so the more they quarreled, the heavier the atmosphere became, and in the end someone simply went up and killed the two people who were arguing. ”
"The staircase on the fifth floor has been completely blocked by the fire, and the strangest and most fortunate thing is that the fire has not yet reached the elevator, and everyone is going to squeeze the elevator at the risk of catching fire. My mom and dad finally grabbed their seats in the third wave, and even though they were in danger of being caught in the elevator door, they stood up, and when I stood up again......... she bowed her head deeply, and her two hands that were often housekeepers were clenched into fists: "The elevator is overweight.........."
I had already guessed what would happen after that, and I couldn't help but sigh at the miracle that the elevator didn't catch fire, and also lamented that fate had played tricks on her.
"And after that?" The kind-hearted Sister Linna's voice trembled.
"After that......... It's the longest time of my life. She continued the story with a miserable arc: "I was pushed out. ”
"Hey~"
"What a brute!"
"How can there be such parents!?"
"Zhao Mengyan is also very pitiful."
"And then." Only Ryan listened expressionlessly in the crowd, as if he was listening to a story.
I sat on the floor with wide eyes and looked at my mom and dad in disbelief. I thought to myself: Did they just abandon me? Probably not, right? I heard the teacher and Xiao Yezi say that parents love their children very much, and many fathers and mothers have to protect their children even if they sacrifice themselves. That's what I believed, and I believed that even the firepower that was gradually catching up in this area fantasized about how they would protect me. ”
"And yet....... They didn't make any movement until the elevator closed, leaving only a clear conversation that still sticks in my memory. ”
