When I got home, I leaned my guitar against the corner, stripped off my clothes and went into the bathroom.

I wiped my body over and over again, feeling the warmth of the warm water in contact with my skin.

But my heart was still cold, as if I had fallen to the bottomless depth, my legs were so entangled in the seaweed that I could no longer break free, I could only feel the suffocation caused by the tide pouring into my nostrils.

The feeling of uneasiness grew heavier and heavier, and there was an indescribable emptiness and loneliness in my body.

Through the uproar of water, I covered my cheeks and cried silently, venting the unwillingness and grievances accumulated in my heart to the fullest.

It took me a long time to turn off the water heater and wipe the water stains on my skin.

When I put on my pajamas and pushed open the door, Yin Lanlan was already asleep, I tiptoed to her side to cover her with the quilt, and then returned to the living room, sat on the sofa, and let the moonlight sprinkle that pale on my cheeks.

I felt completely forgotten by the world, and I don't even remember how long it had been since I had spoken to anyone.

When I woke up the next day, I glanced at the ancient clock hanging on the wall, took out the rice I hadn't eaten last night from the refrigerator, and made a simple egg fried rice for Yin Lanlan.

After cooking, I covered the pot, pushed open the door and called Yin Lanlan, "Get up, go brush your teeth, and I'll send you to school after eating." ”

Yin Lanlan sat up in a daze, nodded sleepily, and then lay down again.

I opened the wardrobe directly, took out the washed clothes and threw them on Yin Lanlan's face, "I'm about to get up, I'm going to be late soon." ”

Yin Lanlan sat up and slowly put on her socks.

I sat on the sofa and waited for a while, Yin Lanlan had already changed her clothes and went to the bathroom to wash up.

I went back to the kitchen and stir-fried a few times over low heat, and then I put a big bowl of rice on the table.

I ate the egg fried rice in a big gulp, and Yin Lanlan also ate it in small bites.

Just when I was about to finish eating, Yin Lanlan suddenly raised her head and looked at me and said, "Dad, the teacher said that he wanted a ** newspaper and asked for fifty yuan." ”

I was slightly stunned and surprised: "What are you doing with newspapers?" ”

"There was a question on the back of the newspaper, and the teacher asked us to buy a newspaper to do the question."

I paused, looked at Yin Lanlan and nodded, "Okay, I know." ”

After breakfast, I sent Yin Lanlan to the door, took out a brand new bill from my pocket and handed it to her, "Take it, listen to the teacher obediently when you go to school." ”

Yin Lanlan nodded and ran into the school excitedly.

It wasn't until she disappeared into the school building that I looked away and walked in the direction of home.

Suddenly, a hurried ringtone of my mobile phone stimulated my eardrums, and a string of unfamiliar numbers was displayed on the phone screen.

I slid the answer button and put my phone to my ear, "Hey? Who are you? ”

"Yin Xing, are you free now? I'm waiting for you in Jingning Park, you must come. ”

I was slightly stunned and asked in surprise, "Who are you?" ”

The other end of the phone smiled and said warmly: "Have you forgotten the song I gave you?" ”

My heart thumped, and I instantly understood what was going on,

I don't know where this woman came from to know my number, or what her purpose was.

I thought about it for a while, but I decided to make a trip.

In the early morning, there are almost no people in the park, and even the air is exceptionally fresh, and the sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves, leaving mottled marks on the ground.

"Alas, Yin Xing, I'm here."

A gentle voice rang in my ears. Following the prestige, I saw the woman sitting on the bench, looking at me calmly, she was wearing a light blue dress, and she looked a little more cute, especially her smile as always, as if her heart was about to melt.

Without thinking, I walked up to her, sat down on the other side of the bench, looked at her and asked, "Do you know me?" ”

She was stunned at first, then looked at me suspiciously, and said calmly: "Yes, didn't Uncle Yin tell you?" ”

I frowned and said in surprise, "Tell me what?" ”

"Let's talk about our blind date, I've heard about you, I don't mind if you're married, because I've also been divorced. I've always wanted to find someone who can understand my music, and it's clear that you're that person. ”

It was as if I had heard the most shocking thing in the world, and I stared at her blankly, and my jaw was about to drop.

I jumped up directly from the bench and was shocked, "Blind date? My dad arranged for us to go on a blind date? ”

The woman nodded and said, "Yes." ”

I couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva and frowned, "What a joke!" Why didn't he ask me what I thought! I don't go on a blind date, you go back! ”

Without waiting for the woman to respond, I turned my head and walked straight into the distance, my surroundings were surprisingly quiet, and there were no footsteps behind me, she didn't seem to chase after me.

As I left the park, I glanced at the woman still sitting on the bench, calmly gazing at the pool in front of her, as if she had become one with nature.

Later, I learned that this woman's name is Si Lingyan, and I never thought that for a long time in the future, Si Lingyan will always adhere to her original intention, just like what she said: The mountains have trees and branches, and the heart is happy and you don't know.

When I got home, I took out my mobile phone and called my dad, panting and saying, "Dad, where did you find the woman from, why did you arrange a blind date for me?" ”

There was a pause on the other end of the phone, and after a while, my father's voice came, "See Si Lingyan?" ”

"It's not something you can't see, why are you arranging a blind date for me?"

My dad didn't respond to my words at all, and continued, "It's good to see it." ”

"What?" I asked.

But my dad didn't give me any chance at all, and before I could figure it out, my dad hung up.

When I called again, my dad's phone was already off.

I threw my phone down on the dining table, sat down on the sofa, and picked up a cigarette and put it in my mouth.

My mind was full of thoughts about what she said to me when I met Si Lingyan in the park.

To be honest, I was indeed a little moved, maybe it was the previous encounter on the flyover, with her musical talent, which made me remember her appearance deeply.

The patience during this period of time has already filled my heart with loneliness and emptiness, and the most important thing is that I now very much need a woman who is willing to raise Yin Lanlan, just like my stepmother selflessly raised me.

I took a deep puff of my cigarette, listened to the crackling sound of the tobacco burning, and looked out the window at the white clouds and fell into deep thought......
