There was a click, and the shutter of the phone camera sounded.

I was taken aback and looked back to confirm what had happened. A couple sitting behind me was filming me. Although I stared at them silently, it didn't seem to be a deterrent.

Damn, really hateful.

Even though I thought so, I took a picture of each of the dim sums. By the way, it cost me more than a hundred. It's a robbery, I thought to myself. Eventually, in order to avoid waste, I ate it all by myself. During that time, the chuckles around him never stopped.

"Xiaotian, it's amazing! My stomach hurts......"

After looking at the photos of the dim sum and listening to the episode that happened in the amusement park, Tang Ling laughed heartily. Her hilarity even made me worry about whether I would make a noise in a multi-person ward.

"And then, then? What about after the café? ”

"Go to the haunted house and be scared by the ghosts, go to the merry-go-round and be scared by the children, be disgusted by the couple on the Ferris wheel, and then just come back."

I said to her with weariness.

"How does it feel? Happy? ”

"It sucks. I even wish I had a nuclear bomb drop on an amusement park. ”

After finishing speaking, Tang Ling seemed to be poked to laugh again, and laughed loudly again until she trembled. I was surprised that she was such a straightforward laugher.

"Yes, yes, thank you. Sure enough, amusement parks are not a place to go alone. ”

"I said......"

This kind of thing, even if you don't experience it, you should know about it. Before I could say this, Tang Ling spoke first.

"That's about the next wish......

After speaking, Tang Ling turned on the TV in the ward. Although it is a multi-person ward, there is a TV set opposite each bed, but I have never seen Tang Ling watch TV so far.

Tang Ling changed the station for a while, and then set it in the noon news file.

"This, this is it."

She suddenly became excited and pointed to the TV screen. That's news about the sale of smartphones. It is said that every year on the day of the release of this brand of mobile phones, people will queue up because it is not easy to buy. The phone seems to be on sale on weekend nights.

"I've wanted to try to line up all night!"

…… I decided to ignore her and go back.

"Wait! Wait, Howling! ”

"I'm never going to go!"

"Take a look at this."

After speaking, Tang Ling took out a mobile phone from the drawer next to the bed. It was an old, white button phone that was about to fade to ivory.

"I've always used a button machine. And this one has been used for almost four years before being hospitalized. Don't you think I'm pitiful? ”

Indeed, at this time, there are really not many people who are still using this kind of antique mobile phone.

"Before I die, I want to use my smartphone."

“…… However, it's expensive. Do you have that much money? ”

"Dangdangdang—"

With that, she took out another passbook from the drawer.

"What is this?"

"New Year's money saved."

Someone would really save up their New Year's money, I think.

"My grandparents and relatives give it to me every year, but staying in this place and having even more places to use it is not even as many as in prison. So it has survived. ”

I took the passbook handed over by Tang Ling and looked at it, and the amount was indeed not small.

"Just use this, I'll tell you the password."

"Wait."

I gradually felt a heaviness in my heart.

"You can't tell anyone about this kind of thing easily."

"Why?"

Tang Ling tilted her head in confusion.

"So, maybe someone will use it indiscriminately."

"Will Xiaotian use it indiscriminately?"

"I said you......"

I couldn't continue the conversation with her at all. I think she did it on purpose.

"I'm very relieved about Xiaotian."

Tang Ling said such unfounded words and stuffed the passbook to me.

Late at night, when I was going out, I was stopped by my mother.

"It's so late, where are you going? To meet anyone? ”

My mother looked at me suspiciously. It's a hassle to explain. It's almost midnight, and I'm going to take a taxi.

"I'll go outside and play for a while."

"Xiaoyan said the same thing that day."

Mother looked at me with a heavy expression that she didn't need at all.

"Xiaotian, you're not going to die, are you?"

My mother said such crazy things to me. Having said that, it's not a day or two since my mother would say such things.

"How could you die?"

I replied in disgust.

"Now, Xiaotian. If even you die so strangely, I'......"

For a moment, I was a little unbearable.

"Sister Xiaoyan's death is just a simple traffic accident."

"But ......"

My mother seemed to want to say something, but I didn't want to hear anything.

"I'm fine."

I felt troublesome, so I broke off the conversation and went outside.

I took a taxi to my destination and walked to the queue of people who had been asked by Tang Ling to rush to buy a smartphone.

Queue up late at night, and it's cold even though it's late spring. Are there so many idlers in the world, and many people are swaying and lining up on the streets of the shopping street. I trembled and waited alone for the morning to come. Because I was very idle, I unconsciously began to recall my mother's words and deeds after Sister Xiaoyan's death.

Since Sister Xiaoyan's death, my mother has always had a strange worry for some reason, worried about whether I will also die.

"It's going to be a typhoon today, don't go to school."

When asked why, she replied earnestly that she would do if she was hit on the head by a billboard hung up by the wind, and what if she was hit by an out-of-control car because it was raining.

Really, spare me.

"What should I do if I get stuck in a thorn while eating fish bones", "I fall asleep and drown in a bath", "What should I do if I break my neck in taekwondo?", "What if I am stung to death by a bee while wearing black clothes......

In short, my mother was always keen to look for the precursors of death in the trivial things of daily life.

There was even a time when my mother visited a suspicious-looking mage several times and even asked me to accompany her. The reason why this is so is because Sister Xiaoyan died in a traffic accident half a year ago, and her boyfriend at that time also died in a traffic accident. So my mother seriously wondered if Sister Xiaoyan was possessed by an evil spirit. My mother obviously has a college degree, but she listened to what others said, and she was possessed by a fierce spirit, and she believed it for a while.

To put it simply, my mother has some mental illness.

So, I was even taken to counseling before. After Sister Xiaoyan's death, even I was quite lost. It seemed that looking at me like that, my mother was very worried, worried that I would die of loss.

Have you ever wanted to die?

Did you sleep well?

Have an appetite?

Now, what's the headache?

I answered all of them "no problem". It was only then that I deliberately behaved cheerfully.

No problem.

I'm normal.

Nothing was a problem.

Therefore, it can be regarded as an acquittal...... Even so, my mother seemed to be suspicious of me.

Will this child suddenly die one day?

I guess my mother had been thinking like that all along.

Although it is true that after the death of Sister Xiaoyan, my personality has become somewhat introverted compared to before. I remember that when Sister Xiaoyan passed away, I didn't even talk to my family.

But isn't that normal?

If my sister can be even more cheerful than before after she dies, it would be crazy to say that, isn't it?

If you want me to say, it's the mother who should go to counseling.

After bringing the smartphone she bought, Tang Ling was quite happy.

"That's good. I'm finally civilized. ”

Before handing her the phone, I poured out all the bitterness of the night queue to her as if to vent my anger. But while I was still talking, Tang Ling had already begun to unpack the smartphone.

"Hey...... You're not interested in queuing up all night at all, you just want a smartphone. ”

"Nothing like that?"

Tang Ling said with a grin, picking up the smartphone and holding it up in front of him. "Wow-" let out a sound that sounded like an exclamation, and his eyes lit up.

"Then I can easily contact Xiaotian."

Looking at Tang Ling, who was talking happily, I was speechless for a while.

After that, at Tang Ling's request, I taught her some basic operations, and I also gave her my contact information to keep.

A few days later, she asked her mother to get a network contract, and Tang Ling's mobile phone was finally able to connect to the network. She immediately texted me.

>Thank you.

There is only one sentence.

Is it embarrassing to say it to your face? I simply replied, "You're welcome."

During the recess of school, Wu Jie held chess for some reason. When I was about to refuse, Wu Jie directly put the seats of the people in front of me together and opened the chessboard.

In the end, I had no choice but to be Wu Jie's opponent.

"Xiaotian, when was the first time you liked someone else?"

Wu Jie was playing chess and suddenly asked this question.

"The girl in the front of the fourth grade."

"I'm in the sixth grade. So, how did you guys? ”

I don't even remember my appearance. I don't know where she's doing it now.

"Well, it doesn't matter anymore."

There's nothing special about being close to a confession or anything like that, it's just that with the change of shifts, as soon as the relationship is estranged, the little romance will naturally disappear. But I think most people like someone else for the first time.

"Well, I don't think it's so easy to change some of the details. Like your favorite food, the way you eat, and a few face towels when you wipe your nose. ”

"Aren't they all one?"

"I'm two."

Wu Jie was in the corner. I was a general at once.

"However, I think that the more important the mind, the more unexpectedly it can be flipped as easily as Othello."

Wu Jie said something of unknown significance.

"But I actually hate that."

Occasionally, he speaks in this way. In short, I couldn't hear what he was trying to say.

“…… Speaking of which, recently, I have heard from you and went to see Tang Ling. ”

At the moment when I finished speaking, Wu Jie's hand stopped for a moment. After that, he looked straight at me.

"What's wrong?"

"And then?"

"She's pretty energetic. Although the specifics are not very clear, at least, there will be no problems in the short term. ”

Although I thought about it and wanted to explain it all, I sure enough. Things like seeing her a few more times after that, and a list of things I wanted to do before I died, I don't know if these things are good to tell others.

Moreover, I am also a little angry that Wu Jie has always hidden the true intention of letting me go to see Tang Ling. I don't think there was any reason to tell him everything. Besides, it is very troublesome to explain such a puzzling matter.

"Wu Jie, do you want to know anything?"

"Then, Sanwei."

"Ask for yourself."

In the end, Wu Jie won. Although Wu Jie himself proposed to play, he seemed to lose interest on the way, and stood up directly before he got to the end.

"Are you really not going to take a look?"

I said to Wu Jie, who was about to leave.
