Jin Ke: Light and Extinction (2)
What I didn't expect was that my first meeting with her almost killed her.
I didn't know she had a mango allergy, I didn't know she had a heart condition, I just knew that everything about mangoes hadn't appeared in the house since she got sick at home.
I was also severely reprimanded by Mrs. Jin for this incident, no need to say it, I locked myself in the attic, I still remember the way she smiled at me, and I still remember the quiet appearance when she talked to me, but because of me, she is now lying on the cold hospital bed, relying on the ventilator, living desolately.
I didn't dare to see her, Jin Yi came to me late, he said that she was looking for me after she woke up, he said she didn't think it was my fault, but I just didn't dare to see her.
But what I didn't expect was that a week later she came to her.
At that time I was still in the attic, which was full of astronomical equipment. These are all that I pestered Mrs. Jin to ask her to buy for me, and every time I stay here, I like to use that astronomical telescope to look at the stars, and I like to look at the stars. Twinkle and twinkle, how bright, not the black of my world.
The attic window was half open and half closed, and I pointed my binoculars at the open half of the window to look at the stars.
I turned my back to her and didn't say anything when Ruan came in.
She spoke first: "Are you okay?" I heard from my aunt, you've locked yourself up here for a week? ”
I didn't reply to her, I just asked her, "Do you want to see the stars?" ”
She nodded, walked up to me, I moved her position and asked her to stand in front of the telescope, she bent over, put her eyes on the camera, and asked me, "Which star are you looking at?" ”
"Gemini." I say.
"Which one? I don't know about this. ”
I leaned next to her and whispered in her ear, "The brightest and closest ones you can see." ”
"Do you like stars?"
She asked me, I said yes, and then asked her, do you know what Gemini means?
She said she didn't know, you tell me.
I say that in physics, a twin star is two stars with very close mass, and because their gravitational attraction is so close to each other, they attract each other and rotate around each other without separation.
She asked me if you still know physics.
I said except for Jin Yichi's stupid de
I like the boring subject of physics, which is not liked by anyone else, and I am only interested in the stars.
"And do you like astronomy?"
I said no, I'm not interested in anything, I just like stars.
I'm comfortable looking at the stars.
She finally shifted her gaze from the telescope to me, and her eyes looked at me from beginning to end quietly, calmly and without waves, and I liked the way she looked, I liked the way she looked at me, the way I was the only one in my eyes, and I really felt that I was a presence, a living person, not ignored by everyone and hated by others.
I apologized to her: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to......"
"It's not your fault, why apologize." She interrupted me, "You don't know, no one is blaming you, Ke. ”
She called me by name, and my name came out of her mouth and it made me feel amazing, like the satisfaction of being a stuffed animal that I have liked for a long time, and finally being truly held in your arms.
The brightest star in my world seemed to suddenly shine brighter than the sun at this moment, and it flashed brightly in my eyes.
The relationship between me and her is like a twin star, as if there is a gravitational pull in it, I will be unconsciously attracted to her, I don't want to be separated from her, this is a feeling that I have never had, I can't control it, and I don't want to control it.
She stayed here for the next period of time, but I didn't spend much time alone with her, and I started to walk out of the attic, but I found that Mrs. Jin always got Ruan Tian and Jin Yichi together, intentionally or unintentionally.
When I found out about this, Jin Yichi took Ruan Tian to play chess with the old lady in the gazebo in the back garden, the old lady was Jin Yichi's grandfather, because he didn't like me, so I rarely called him.
Mrs. Jin leaned against the wall on the side, her hands on her arms, looking in their direction, the corners of her mouth were a smile that could not be hidden.
I walked up to her, looked at her, and said, "What are you doing?" ”
"Look at my daughter-in-law." She came back very smoothly.
I snorted, "Did they agree?" She's only seven years old, and if you say this kind of thing, people will sue you for robbing people's daughters! ”
She poked me on the head: "What are you talking about, dead children?" You're only seven years old, so you don't learn well at a young age. ”
"Isn't it the same when you're so big? What kind of child daughter-in-law is in a hurry to find your son, who can look down on him with his dead appearance? "After saying that, I ran away without giving her a chance to hit me.
Since then, every time Mrs. Jin wants to arrange any opportunity for them to get along, I have taken Ruan Tian away in advance, so that she can't find us.
During that time, I took Ruan to play all the fun places in London, but because of her physical reasons, the roller coaster I always wanted to play did not work, I accompanied her to make a merry-go-round, girls seem to like this kind of childlike and dreamy things, by the way, I am also a girl, so I can't say that all girls like it.
That night, I looked at the LED lights on the merry-go-round, the lights were shining and shining, there were no stars tonight, and these lights were like stars, twinkle and flicker, flickering and flickering, but in the end, they didn't go out.
And that night was the last night I saw her smiling brightly, and the next morning, Ruan Tian took the earliest flight back to China.
I and her because of this long distance slowly cut off contact, I went back to the way before, at school, I don't like to communicate with others, others are afraid of me, I still cause a bunch of things every few days, there are girls behind my back to say I gossip, some boys say I have no parents, ridicule me, but silence is definitely not my style, they say a word, I will beat them, see who is not pleasing to the eye I will beat them, my reputation in school is getting worse and worse, and no school is willing to continue to accept me, Even Mrs. Jin had no choice.
Mrs. Jin asked me why I always caused trouble for her and why I couldn't be well-behaved, and I said, I miss my mother, I want my father.
She sighed helplessly, and then continued to look for a school for me, I said I don't want to study anymore, or you can find me a tutor, I don't want to go to school.
Mrs. Jin said that I had to go to school no matter what, and that some schools would be willing to ask for me.
When I was 11 years old, I was sent to Canada by Mrs. Jin, where I finally met her again, my twin star.
Only this time, there seemed to be another girl next to her.
