Chapter 84: Arrived as scheduled
The sky was clear and the weather was a bit hot. The crescent moon wore a light coat and sat in a corner of the auditorium in the center of the city. Today is the day of the gathering of all adult reformed women, and it is also her 18th birthday.
"You look so young," said a woman next to her, looking at the crescent moon, "not yet twenty, are you?" ”
Crescent Moon nodded and said, "It's only eighteen." ”
"Did you do any sterilization?"
Xinyue was shocked, shook her head and said that she hadn't done it yet, and what she was afraid of was not this operation, but the word "absolute". She clutched the crumpled note in her hand, suddenly disbelieving the person she was waiting for.
"I'll tell you the good news, I've heard that newcomers now only need to inject drugs, and it's safe and thorough."
But Crescent Moon just nodded, she didn't feel happy, and there was no need to force a smile. The woman turned her head away and chatted with the other woman.
The weather was changeable, and after the rally, dark clouds were already drifting outside. The women walked out of the auditorium in an orderly manner, except for the new moon who sat in a daze. It wasn't until everyone was gone, until the auditorium administrators came over and gave her a friendly chase, that she got up and walked out. Under the eaves, she stopped and looked up at the unsympathetic sky, as if the dark clouds had also entered her internal organs, making her feel that her whole body had begun to cool down.
She took a deep breath and glanced at the note, "He'll definitely be back, probably on his way right now." She told herself silently, raising the corners of her mouth slightly curved. The original arrangements included buying the pair of earrings that had been found for a long time, giving the frames and photos she had made to the nanny, going to the mountain to see a beautiful sunrise, and meeting Minglang and her mother, the first three items were completed as early as yesterday, and she thought that Yin would come back early, so she left the last one to be completed with him.
It was nearly 20 kilometers from here to the cemetery, and she decided to walk slowly, because it was boring now, and she didn't care if it rained or how long it would rain. From time to time, gusts of cold wind blew away her year-old long hair, always giving her the feeling that Yin was not far away, but he still didn't arrive. Minglang hates this kind of weather the most, she still remembers clearly, at that time she was still very young, and she would catch a cold and fever in the rainy season, Minglang always said that it was better to stay up all night to carry out tasks. He is always meticulous, both an elder brother and a father, because before his mother left, he held his mother's hand and promised that he would let his sister grow up healthy.
It was raining at this time, and it was raining heavily, but fortunately, Yujiang City heard her location information and appeared behind her with an umbrella. "Don't get me wrong, I didn't steal your location, I mean ......"
She didn't mean to question him, preferring to believe his promise. They hadn't seen each other for a year, and since the completion of the Vampire Organization's search mission, she proposed to officially quit the three-person organization and only do some odd jobs in the police force, which means that her personal location is not open to anyone, and no one can access her location information.
"You can see me tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, or someday after tomorrow, but not today." She said indifferently.
He followed the rhythm of her footsteps and took a few steps, "The umbrella is for you." The condition was reasonable, and she stopped, looked him in the eye, borrowed the umbrella from him, and ran away in the rain. No one knows when he will return, but now the average life expectancy in China has reached 90 years old, and research results on aging and disease continue to emerge, and it is said that someone has successfully developed a chip that can delay the aging of the human body. But even so, people are not immune to accidents, and it is not uncommon for people to leave the world before adulthood.
She grabbed the handle of the umbrella and continued to walk forward in the wind and rain, until her legs were sore, to thirst and hunger, and finally to kneel in front of her mother and Mingming's tombstone, and put the umbrella away gently, which was a kind of respect. The rain was much lighter, but there was still an unbridled cold air invading her body.
"It's not too late, is it?"
The warm breath in his body rushed up and spat out of her mouth, and she turned around to see that his face was pale, and his face was as angular as if it had been sucked dry.
He knelt down beside her and confessed, "I'm sorry I didn't take good care of your crescent. ”
Crescent Moon turned her head sideways to look at his serious appearance, and could see that he didn't have time to change his clothes, so he put on a black trench coat, and the high collar couldn't hide the scratches and bite marks on his neck.
"...... on your neck"
"It doesn't matter." He said, nonchalantly looking straight ahead.
She turned her head, looked down at the mud on the ground, and said, "I want you to take care of yourself." ”
He lowered his eyelids, not that the wound didn't hurt, but that he was used to the pain, and although she only had a simple word, it was enough to share some of the pain.
After the rain stopped, the sun began to bloom. Her stomach growled. He stood up first, slowed down, then leaned over and pulled her up, turned his back to her, turned his face sideways and ordered, "Come up, I'll take you to eat something delicious." As soon as he finished speaking, he bent his knees and upper body so that she could leap onto his back. She was a little surprised, but then she smiled again and leaped into the air like a carefree child, but accidentally touched the scar on his neck and began to be afraid, but he walked forward as if nothing happened.
All good things only exist for a moment. In the afternoon, after having a beautiful lunch at the rooftop restaurant on the commercial street, he drove her to the beach.
"Yin, don't mind if I call you that."
"No, I'm glad you call it that."
"I want to talk to you, but the topic is silly."
"I probably don't think so, you say."
She began to rub her two thumbs, and each time she did it, it always helped her to eliminate certain worries, she said: "I don't plan to take revenge anymore, Mom and Minglang want me to grow up healthy, I should not live in the shadows, but start a new life of my own." ”
"I'm glad to hear you," it was, and he felt the burden lightened a lot, "I also wish you a happy future." ”
"What about you?"
He was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know how to answer the question.
"Maybe you understand the meaning of life better than me, that's why you encourage, I hope you can be like me, don't chase Cangyan, okay?"
He put down his smile and didn't reply, which was the best answer he could give her.
