Chapter 18: Encounter
The rain stopped, and the wind ruffled her hair.
She went downstairs and bought something.
Buy something delicious to relax.
"Hey." Someone tapped Iro's shoulder.
She turned her head back in confusion.
A sense of déjà vu surges.
The eyes are like a round pomegranate, a tall nose, small and agile, a ruddy mouth with a small mole on the lower right, small star-like freckles on both sides of the cheeks, the hair is combed very smooth, the long flowing hair hangs down the waist, the figure is moderate, wearing a denim jacket, and a pair of white sneakers under the feet.
Iruo couldn't tell where she had seen it, and put her hand on her head in confusion.
Life is like this, some people rush into life, but leave life in a hurry.
Memory is like a door that grasps the opening and closing, with the people who come and go, hide some memories in the depths of life, seal them, and quietly open the blockade of memory without opinions, nostalgia, and recall the past.
"Don't you remember me? I'm Ning Yue! ”
The white teeth that showed at the corners of her mouth shone with Iruo's eyes.
When I think about it, I think about everything.
Friend, yes, a friend of Iro's childhood.
At that time, she and Twilight met through a friend.
Ning Yue was dumbfounded, walking slowly, singing out of tune, Molly laughed at her a lot, she deliberately pretended to be angry and ran after Molly, and the two of them ran like this, carefree.
Ning Yue also brought Molly to the house as a guest.
Ning Yue's home was made of red bricks and wrapped in a layer of cement.
There is a spacious courtyard with colorful flowers in the yard, which is like walking in a sea of gorgeous flowers.
Ning Yue and Yi Ruo danced in the courtyard, where they would dance, they were just making up.
When they were tired of jumping, the two little girls sat on their chairs and admired the blue sky and breathed in the fresh fragrance of flowers.
There was a small dog in the courtyard, but it was very well-behaved, going back and forth between Yiruo and Ning Yue.
Soon, evening came.
Ning Yue's parents were not at home, so she didn't expect to take Yi Ruo to the kitchen to cook.
The kitchen pot needs to be made of wood for a fire, so Twilight moves a small stool for Molly to sit next to the one she wants to make a fire.
She skillfully picked up a shove of dry wood from outside the house, filled the pot with water, put her mother's steamed buns on the steamer, covered the lid, sat on a small stool, held a lighter, grabbed a handful of leaves in her hand, lit it, and added wood.
Like a dancer, the flame changes its dance posture and then turns into a raging flame, enthusiastically illuminating Twilight and Molly's cheeks.
While lighting a fire, Ning Yue told Yi Ruo about the interesting things that had happened recently.
The sound of the two girls laughing, accompanied by the crackling of burning wood, filled the room.
The steamed buns are steamed.
Twilight gently lifted the lid.
The small droplets on the lid drip onto the steamer like a string of transparent necklaces, and the white gas wafting from the steamer is like smoke, casting a veil of mystery over the cozy cottage.
She picked up a fluffy steamed bun with chopsticks, put it in a bowl, and brought it to Molly to eat.
Iruo poked the steamed bun with her finger, like a ball of soft marshmallows.
I took a bite, it was sweet, soft and soaked in the aroma of wheat.
Ning Yue is really hidden, and she can make a fire and steam steamed buns, which is amazing!
Iro happily gave Twilight a thumbs up.
"It's really delicious!"
Iroh cast an approving look.
"I'll make it for you later."
Ning Yue's eyes bent into crescent moons.
"Otherwise, I'll stir up some food for you!"
Ning Yue scratched her head shyly.
"You can also cook?"
Molly looked at Ning Yue in surprise.
"Yes, my mother taught me that I should not fry potatoes, I have a lot of potatoes at home."
Ning Yue pointed to a bag of potatoes on the ground.
"Okay, it's okay, I'm not a picky eater, I'll help you wash the potatoes."
Yi Ruo held her little face and looked at Ning Yue.
Ning Yue scraped off the skin of the potatoes and carefully cut the potatoes with a knife.
"Girl, what are you doing?"
A young couple came in.
"Mom and Dad, you're back, I'm cooking for my friends!"
Ning Yue put down the knife for cutting vegetables and ran to Yiruo excitedly. around.
"This is my good friend, Iro, and a grand guest of our family."
Ning Yue hugged Yi Ruo.
"Then I'll make you something to eat tonight, and the two little princesses will wait outside."
Ning Yue's parents patted Ning Yue's head and were busy in the kitchen.
Ning Yue rarely brings friends to the house, her parents are very welcome to Twilight's friends, on the one hand, Ning Yue's parents work outside and rarely accompany Twilight, having a friend to accompany her can reduce her boredom, on the other hand, Ning Yue has a somewhat introverted personality, socializes more with friends, and may be more cheerful.
Ning Yue took Molly to watch TV in the house.
"Do you want to play with a trampoline?"
"Where to play?"
"My parents' soft bed, of course!"
"Your parents must blame us, or not."
Iro waved his hand.
She didn't want to come to someone else's house, so presumptuous.
"It's okay. If you won't find out, let's lock the door. ”
Ning Yue blinked those ghostly eyes.
Two girls start a pillow fight in the house.
Outside the house, the little stars blinked brightly, the stars covered the night sky like jewels, and the moon hung in the sky, decorating the joyful starry sky.
It's time to eat!
There are hearty meals on the table, as well as delicious porridge.
"What are you playing in the room?"
Ning Yue's mother looked at Twilight with a smile.
"We're watching TV, and the TV series is so good."
Ning Yue smiled at Yi Ruo and blinked.
How can the secret of the two girls be known to others? When parents shouted that Ning Yue and Yi Ruo were eating, the two girls had already arranged the quilts and pillows, and they would not find out their little secrets.
The wind caressed the branches, the leaves softly accompanied the sleep song, the twinkling stars fell asleep, and the starry sky became calm.
The two girls sleep back to back in Twilight's cozy little room.
There is a small lamp in the room that gives off a soft light.
"Iro, I'll show you my new clothes."
Ning Yue took out a lot of clothes from the cabinet.
"This is what my cousin brought me from out of town, isn't it beautiful?"
Ning Yue tried them on herself one by one.
Iruo felt as if she had entered a modelling show and watched a free fashion show.
"I'm done trying on clothes, what outfit do you think I look good in?"
"It's all good-looking."
Yi Ruo gave Ning Yue affirmation.
Ning Yue jumped into the warm little bed.
"Do you think we'll be good friends for life?"
Ning Yue looked at Yi Ruo contemplatively.
"Yes."
Iroh replied without thinking.
How could two young girls know that what they thought was a long-lasting friendship was sometimes like a dandelion blown away, and they could never be found after drifting away.
Twilight and Iro fall asleep, as do the puppies outside......
After moving to a new city, Molly never saw Iroh again, nor did she go to Twilight again, a new bad world, things filled Molly and Twilight, Molly and Twilight were busy with their own things, and that friendship time was like falling petals, buried deep in the dirt with leaves.
However, life is sometimes magical, when you think that the buried memory story will not appear in your life again, but without any preparation, it appears, and it is handed over.
However, the uncertainties of the outside world are also affecting the two of them, and childhood is always just childhood.
"Ning Yue, I really haven't seen you for a long time, you've changed."
Friends who haven't seen each other for a few years, how can they not be excited?
Yi Ruo hugged Ning Yue excitedly.
Ning Yue has indeed changed, her personality looks much more cheerful than before, Ning Yue used to have short hair, but now she has long hair, and her figure is much thinner before.
"You've changed, you've become more ladylike, and you're much better looking than before!"
Ning Li smiled.
A few years of time, different experiences, the two girls, both inside and outside, have undergone some essential changes.
Yi Ruo became the introverted Ning Yue, and Ning Yue became the cheerful Yi Ruo.
"Let's go out and talk, it's more convenient."
Ning Yue put her arms around Molly's shoulders, her eyes still bent into a crescent moon.
The two girls stood by the railing of the hallway, looking out at the dark night sky, there were no stars in the sky tonight, only the moon alone guarding the night.
There seemed to be a chasm between Ning Yue and Yi Ruo.
It's exciting to not see each other for a few years, but, after not being in touch for so long, Molly and Twilight don't know where to start, the friends in reality are no longer the friends in their memories, erase the memories, accept, get used to it, it seems that it will take a while.
Yi Ruo and Ning Yue didn't know how to ask about the situation of the two sides.
"How are you doing?"
Molly spoke first.
"It's good, but my dad is out, and my mom will take care of me at home!"
"Your mother is very good-looking, I still remember, when I went to your house as a guest, your mother wore a pair of delicate pearl ear clips, which were particularly beautiful."
"You remember it so well, haha. I still remember when I steamed steamed buns for you, you admired my eyes! ”
The stories in memory can bring the estranged soul closer together.
"You at that time, seriously, were amazing."
"You too, I remember you were so bold that you could catch tadpoles and climb trees, like a tomboy."
Memories are always just the past.
"Yes, now that I'm older, I don't have the guts of my childhood."
Deprecating.
She has forgotten that she used to catch tadpoles and climb trees, and now she can listen to songs and read books.
"Iro, I'll treat you to a meal later.!"
Twilight's serious eyes hide the stars.
The weather is still a little cool.
The breeze caressed Iro's hair, and her bangs were caressed to one side by the wind.
But there is a trace of warmth in Yiruo's heart, at least there is someone to greet and care about her, how could she forget such a beautiful memory?
It's a little dark, but the beauty is still there.
