Chapter 14: Heartbreak on the Ferris Wheel
Before you know it, the sun has set, and the afterglow of the setting sun has dyed half of the sky orange, half black and half white. They found a restaurant in the playground and sat down. Looking at the list of names on the menu, both of them were a little confused.
"Do you have any recommendations for Western food?"
"Me? Most of the time it's nibbling on bread. Are you not used to eating Western food? ”
"I really can't get used to eating, that's why you were in the supermarket, and I saw you talking to yourself there every day. Do it yourself, have enough food and clothing. ”
"Well, let's order pasta or steak, and I can't guarantee the taste of the rest."
By the time they had actually eaten, it was already half an hour later, rolling the pasta on their plates, and they were speechless.
"Wang Yuan, thank you, Uncle Yun is my family, you are my first friend."
…………
After dinner, they strolled around the amusement park, and the Ferris wheel on the east side of the garden was lit up beautifully, and it slowly rotated in the night. Walking to the foot of the Ferris wheel, Ye Tang stared uncomfortably, Wang Yuan was beside her, he also raised his head, looked at it for a while, and asked:
"Do you want to ride the Ferris wheel?"
"No, my grandmother told me that the Ferris wheel should be sat with a lover for a long time."
"Hmm."
"When my parents were in love, they also made a Ferris wheel, but unfortunately, it turns out that fairy tales are just fairy tales after all."
It was the first time Wang Yuan heard her take the initiative to mention her parents, and his eyes that were soaked in the light of the Ferris wheel instantly dimmed, and he had a premonition that Ye Tang would tell him.
"This matter, in fact, has been hidden in my heart for a long time, and I almost forgot about it after a long time. But every time I see their faces, I remember. ”
"My father was a good father, and in those sporadic memories, he put me to sleep and played with me. But then his business got bigger and bigger, and gradually, when he saw my mother and me, he became more and more cold and irritable. He didn't have an affair, I know that. It's just that I don't believe in love anymore. He would insult his mother every day when he came back, and he would suspect her as soon as she put on makeup. And my mother, oh, how cowardly she was, she didn't bite a word, threw away all her perfumes and lipsticks, and became less and less confident. Until anger spreads to me. ”
"Sometimes I just make a little noise, and I get scolded for being scolded. The sun was fine that day, and my father was rare not to be grumpy, but instead took me to the playground with my mother, and I thought that father had returned. Our family of three sat on the Ferris wheel, and my father and mother talked about how they had made a Ferris wheel together when they were in love. ”
"Who knew that the Ferris wheel was about to break down when it was about to reach its highest point, in fact, it just stopped there and didn't move, and the staff at the bottom held the microphone and shouted, let's not worry, it's just that there is a problem with the power supply, and it will be fine after a while. But we waited for an hour. And an hour can change so much. ”
"After being in the air for a long time, people will naturally become restless. That's how my father was, he started swearing and even started hitting me and my mother. Complaining about why we came to the Ferris wheel. When I was younger, I cried. The more I cried, the more anxious my father became, and the scolding and beating intensified. No one noticed that my mother's face was turning pale. She sat on the floor, a pool of blood oozing from under her skirt, and she had a miscarriage. I later learned that it was because my mother was pregnant that my father had changed back to that and that he had killed my brother with his own hands. ”
Later, perhaps he felt guilty about his mother, so he stopped scolding her and turned to me, so I went to school every day and was scarred, and the strange eyes of the people around me made me no longer accept the word friend. My mother, maybe I hate her, for her cowardice and inaction, for her obedience to that man. Later, I signed up for the exchange program in the province without telling them, and I passed, and he had a good face, so he sent me here. The Ferris wheel was the starting point of my life and the beginning of my miserable life. ”
Wang Yuan listened to Ye Tang tell the whole thing, she narrated it very calmly, and there was no undulating emotion in her tone, as if she was telling a story. She withdrew her gaze from the Ferris wheel and looked at Wang Yuan,
"That's why I say I envy you for living in love. And we are not people of the same world. ”。
Just like in this world, "The world is a big dream, how many times is life cool?" - Su Shi's "Xijiang Moon", whether what you encounter can be called fortunate or unfortunate has to be determined by time.
