Chapter 120: The Ivory Tower Tragedy (116)
Meng Ting sighed sadly: "I really didn't expect the world outside the mountains to be so complicated, I originally thought that coming to Huangpu University would make my life full of joy that I have never had, but I never expected that coming here with a dream would experience sadness again and again." It's been less than a month since Lotte left, and I haven't come out of the haze yet, and now Manxue is gone. Why is that? Sometimes I feel like I'm just an ominous person, and my friends keep leaving. ”
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Liu Jingjing said, "What does this have to do with you!" I don't think I can even say it now, but I didn't expect the news I swiped on my phone to actually come to my side, and suddenly it happened to my friend. ”
"Jingjing, are you still going home on National Day?" Meng Ting asked suddenly.
"What's wrong? Don't want to go home for National Day? ”
"I want to stay with Yu Manxue's mother."
"Did you talk to your family?"
"Not yet, but I think my parents will say yes."
"I agree with your idea, stay with Yu Manxue and her mother for a few days, the only daughter left suddenly, the pain can be imagined."
"Jingjing, are you going home?"
"I want to go back, I stayed at home for a few days during the summer vacation, and I don't have anything else to do on the National Day, so I'll go home and have a look, if I don't go back this time, I will have to wait until the winter vacation."
"You need to be safe on the road."
"I know. However, Tingting, I know that you are very sad when Manxue leaves suddenly, but you must control your emotions and never always think about sad things. Now that the matter has come out, it doesn't help to be sad and uncomfortable. I don't worry about anything else, we grew up together, I know you too well, you are an emotional person, and when you encounter sad things, you often fall into it and can't extricate yourself. ”
"Jingjing, don't worry, I'll take care of everything. It's not the first time I've been sad, and I know how to deal with it.
After talking to Liu Jingjing under the moon, it was already more than nine o'clock at night when Meng Ting walked back to the dormitory. The next second Meng Ting walked into the dormitory, she saw Yu Manxue's bed, the once messy bed had been cleaned up and tidy before Yu Manxue left. The familiar objects are still there, each one is full of wonderful atmosphere, the white teddy bear sits at the head of the bed and smiles and looks ahead, the printed sheets and the wallpaper on the left side reflect each other, everything looks so familiar. Seeing these familiar items, Meng Ting's heart became sad, Yu Manxue, who had accompanied her, left forever, and the dormitory of the four-person space could only be with three people in the future. At this moment, for Meng Ting, who is lost and grieving, only the familiar objects on the bed seem to be able to show her Yu Manxue's figure, and when she sees the white teddy bear, she can see countless pasts, Yu Manxue always likes to hold it into sleep, and wishes the world in her dreams to be poetic and like a fairy tale.
Zou Yanhua, Yan Ning and Meng Ting, both of them sat on the bed and recalled the past. The sudden upheaval is destined to plunge this dormitory into depression and sadness tonight. That night, the lights were not turned off in the dormitory, and the three of them wanted to remember the sisters who had just left, and they wanted to use the lights to tell the stars in the night, Yu Manxue, that they had always been here. Although she had not rested for a day and a night, Meng Ting did not feel a trace of sleepiness, she sat on the bed and kept looking at the bed opposite Yu Manxue, letting her mind recall the past years that had been with her. From then on, as soon as Meng Ting found a little messy and dusty on Yu Manxue's bed, she would clean it up, and she told herself that before the end of the Huangpu years, she would ensure that Yu Manxue's bed would always be tidy and always reveal the breath of life.
After the National Day holiday came, Meng Ting faithfully fulfilled her promise, did not choose to go home, let alone travel, but came directly to Yu Manxue's home. After a few days of not seeing her, Yu Manxue's mother seemed to have aged a lot due to the grief of losing her beloved daughter, and the pain in her heart was all revealed on her face without a trace of reservation. Meng Ting's arrival made Yu Manxue's mother feel a strong sense of comfort, although she knew that no matter how good her goddaughter was to her, she would not be reborn in exchange for Yu Manxue, but having someone to accompany her was better than the sadness of being alone.
For seven days, Meng Ting would get up early every morning, first go to buy breakfast, and then accompany her godmother to chat and watch TV. Meng Ting is a diligent girl, and in the seven days of companionship, she did every housework in the house in an orderly manner, and she didn't let Yu Manxue's mother worry about it at all. Since Yu Manxue left, Yu Manxue's mother seemed to have lost her soul, almost every day she was immersed in sadness, and her home became messy. Under Meng Ting's care, everything in the home has once again returned to its original taste, full of warmth and love. Meng Ting completely regarded Yu Manxue's mother as her own biological mother in her heart, and she understood the great pain of being a mother from a white-haired person to a black-haired person, so she tried her best to divert Yu Manxue's mother's attention from missing her beloved daughter, and talked about some topics of yearning for a better life every day, talking about life, talking about time, and talking about the simple colors around her.
Meng Ting's efforts were not in vain, in her company, Yu Manxue's mother gradually regained some of her former vitality, and the pain of missing her beloved daughter was also far away bit by bit with the intimate company of her goddaughter. After Yu Manxue's mother saw the beauty, diligence and kindness of her goddaughter, she lost hope and felt an indescribable feeling in her heart, God still favored her, although she lost her biological daughter, and now she has such a beloved goddaughter. Every evening, under the cool autumn mood, the two of them either stroll in the garden of the community together, or sit on the balcony and watch the charming night outside the window. In seven days, Meng Ting told about her years in the mountains and what happened at Huangpu University, she didn't hide anything from her godmother, the long-awaited love left suddenly, the deception suffered by the first first love, and so on. Yu Manxue's mother also told her goddaughter many stories about her past, from youth to marriage, from having a family to being a loving mother, one story after another was slowly spread out like a comic book. After a few days, Meng Ting felt that she was becoming more and more mature and wise, and Yu Manxue's mother felt as if she was young again when she told her goddaughter about her past. After a few days of companionship, the gap between the generations disappeared without a trace, and when the mother and daughter chatted happily, they thought each other was sisters.
During these seven days, Meng Ting slept in Manxue's bedroom at night. Every night when she returned to the bedroom and turned on the light, Meng Ting always glanced at the photo of Yu Manxue on the bedside first. After lying in bed, in the dead of night, Meng Ting would look out the window at the night sky day after day, and silently say something to her departed sister in her heart.
