Chapter 30: Visitation
These days, the leaves are dizzy, and there is always a feeling of floating in the clouds.
It wasn't until Sunday when she went to visit Cheng Zhen's mother that she sank underground.
The weather on Sunday was not too good, and the clouds were heavy at noon, and there was a sense of early twilight.
The high gray-black wall stood on a wide land, cold and solemn.
For a moment, Ye Zi seemed to have a strong emotional resonance with Cheng Zhen, and she could almost feel the mood of Cheng Zhen sitting on the bus looking at the pile of buildings in the distance.
Lonely, hopeless and sad.
Ye Zi's lowered hand gently held Cheng Zhen's hand upward, and the temperature passed through his fingertips.
Cheng Zhen sat straight against the bus seat, his lips tightly pursed into a straight line.
seemed to feel the warmth that Ye Zi passed on to him, slowly relaxed, and said lightly: "It's okay, I've walked this road alone countless times."
"But this time you came to me with me, so I'm not afraid."
Ye Zi's fingers held Cheng Zhen's hard, and told him silently, "I will accompany you." ”
They quieted down at the same time, and the feelings just now grew wantonly, almost drowning the two of them.
Ye Zi and Cheng Zhen got out of the car, and the cold wind blew through their ears, blowing a little cold on their bodies.
Ye Zi stomped his feet and muttered in a low voice, "Brother Cheng, I'm cold to death, I shouldn't wear so little for beauty." ”
Cheng Zhen knew that Ye Zi was not really complaining, she was just alleviating the somewhat oppressive atmosphere in her own way.
The guards led them through the cold hallway to the reception room.
There was a woman sitting on a chair in the reception room, her skin was white and shiny, and she looked a little like Cheng Zhen, especially when her thin eyelids were half-drooping, she looked more and more like him.
Hearing the movement, the woman raised Muzi and said with a smile: "You're here!"
When he saw the leaf on Cheng Zhen's side, he asked in some surprise: "Ah Cheng, who is this girl."
Cheng Zhen led Ye Zi to sit down before explaining: "It's a classmate and a friend."
The woman smiled with satisfaction and said gently: "Hello, I am Cheng Zhen's mother, Aunt Cheng."
Ye Zi called out generously, "Aunt Cheng is good." ”
Aunt Cheng looked at Ye Zi with a smile and said happily: "Okay, it's really good." We Ah Cheng didn't have many friends since we were children. ”
Aunt Cheng almost choked up when she said that, "Okay, it's good, it's good that you are willing to be friends with our Ah Cheng." ”
Cheng Zhen looked at her mother and said to Ye Zi: "Ye Zi, you go outside and wait for me, I have something to say to my mother."
"Well, good. You speak slowly. ”
Ye Zi stood by the window, looking at the bare cold branches in the yard through the window, and couldn't help but think that the trees in the yard were also full of spring, but they slowly withered under the destruction of the cold wind.
Aunt Cheng's fate may be similar to that cold branch.
Aunt Cheng is really similar to Cheng Zhen to some extent.
But Aunt Cheng is more willing to show her gentleness, while Cheng Zhen is more willing to care about people secretly, but in essence, they are both gentle people to the bone.
Ye Zi couldn't imagine that such a person would kill her husband and go to prison.
Ye Zi couldn't help but wonder, did she and Cheng Zhen go through what kind of unknown hardships they had experienced like that cold branch? What kind of pain have you experienced?
Ye Zi's thoughts were confused, and he stood by the window for more than ten minutes before Cheng Zhen came out.
Cheng Zhen patted her on the shoulder, "Yezi, my mother wants to talk to you." ”
Ye Zi entered the door, and Aunt Cheng beckoned to her gently, "Ye Zi, come and sit, can Auntie please ask you for something?" ”
Ye Zi nodded solemnly, "Auntie, you say." ”
Aunt Cheng didn't know what she thought, her eyes filled with a faint sadness, and she cleared her throat before saying, "Yezi, Ah Cheng was born in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve."
"Well, it's because of his father's relationship that he has hardly had a good birthday."
Aunt Cheng seemed to be unable to speak, rubbed her eyes before continuing: "Now that I'm in, there is no one to accompany him for the New Year or birthday."
"Ye Zi, can you accompany him for Auntie this year?"
The birthday and the Lunar New Year coincide together, and with one person, Ye Zi can't imagine what Cheng Zhen's mood should be.
Ye Zi's eyes were red, and he choked up a little: "Well, okay."
In this way, she and Aunt Cheng made an agreement related to Cheng Zhen.
When they came out of the visitation room, it was snowing outside.
Snow is not big or small, falling from the sky.
Ye Zi stood in the snow, smiled brightly, and said to Cheng Zhen, "Brother Cheng, let's go shopping on Lee Garden Street."
Lee Garden Street is a famous snack street in City B, and it is full of stalls selling all kinds of snacks from beginning to end, and it is bustling with activity on Sundays.
"Didn't you go to cram school?"
Ye Zi replied: "Let's skip it once, how can a youth who has not skipped class be considered youth."
"Brother Cheng, how about we wantonly in the tail of youth."
"Brother Cheng, I like you, so I want to take you to taste the warmth of the world and the taste of fireworks in the world."
The words "I like you" Ye Zi said very lightly, but Cheng Zhen felt the heavy weight from her words.
Cheng Zhen felt how fortunate he was to know Yezi.
"Well, Yezi, Brother Cheng, thank you."
