Volume 3 Chapter 21 of the Floating Life
Ye Yin cried stubbornly. She had never cried like this since Hiko's death. Try to convince yourself, it doesn't work. Crying hurts like eyes falling out. Eventually, her vision was blurry and there were no more tears. She knew that some were weeping blind.
Then I ate a lot of things, and I was so swollen that my heart was no longer empty and afraid. Fullness may imply that you actually have a lot. This feeling is most needed by those who have lost. But Ye Yin's stomach finally couldn't hold back and vomited.
Ye Yin stayed like this in the hotel for two days, and Xiao didn't call.
Xiao didn't go home at all.
Her stomach hurt so much that she couldn't hold it anymore, and in the last minutes of her waking hours, she called Sen.
When she woke up, she seemed to smell her father. Familiar and smelly.
When I opened my eyes, Mori was right in front of me.
Ye Yin didn't cry, and Sen only saw her swollen blister-like eyes.
Sen didn't ask her. He believes that Xiao's cold-bloodedness comes from heredity.
Sen listened intermittently to the gossip of the neighbors who seemed to avoid himself and thought that he was a child and did not need to avoid taboos, and Xiao's uncle once led someone to smash his own home.
Mori took Ye Yin to the vicinity of the market she had been to before, and on the way, Mori sent a message and asked a friend to arrange it. A two-room house, with a freezer in the north-facing one with sea cucumbers. Sen said, if you don't live, it's empty, just help me watch the sea cucumber. And the freezer is very loud, if only you didn't dislike it.
In fact, you can't hear anything when you close the door.
Ye Yin didn't know that Sen had another warehouse, so Sen didn't want her to be embarrassed.
The house is on the first floor, and there are often small insects such as beetles and money skewers coming in and out. These little bugs are energetic and carefree. Ye Yin looked playful and not afraid. She often stared at one for a long time.
Sen bought eco-friendly wallpaper. The waiter told him that it was free to stick wallpapers. Sen said no. The waiter said no, no, Sen said I know.
He told Ye Yin that a friend gave him some leftovers of wallpaper, but he couldn't find a worker, otherwise he would have to charge labor fees, so it was better to paste it himself.
I still don't want to be embarrassed by the shade.
The two posted it together, and it took three busy days to get it done. Ye Yin, who was busy, seemed to be in a much better mood.
The wallpaper looks pure and ordinary during the day, but at night, the stars on the wall glow softly, like fireworks that will not scatter.
Ye Yin smiled, it was the fireworks she liked since she was a child.
Ye Yin is happy when he is happy. Same as when I was a kid.
Ye Yin didn't seem to be anything wrong, but Sen always felt a little strange. I can only hope for time, Sen thought.
At night, Mori opened the door, and it was pitch black inside. Ye Yin, are you there, Sen asked softly.
Ye Yin sat on the windowsill and looked into the distance, did not look back, and said, I will pick it up. Mori asked what to pick up. Ye Yin said, the wind, the wind can't blow in. He asked Sen again, do you remember, when we were young, we watched the lights in the distance on the mountain.
Sen said, of course, at that time I always asked you what was so nice about this.
Ye Yin turned around, I was a weird kid at that time.
Mori said that in fact, every child has his own ideas, but adults don't understand it and think it's weird.
Ye Yin continued to look out the window, in fact, I also like to look out the window now, I am most afraid of the window with the light still on in the middle of the night, and the happy family will not turn on the light in the middle of the night. She vividly remembers that her parents would quarrel and her mother would suddenly turn on the light, and then the light would be on until dawn.
Mori didn't speak, but sat down on the ground near the window, looking up at the window. I can't see the building opposite clearly from this angle, and there is a light in my eyes, maybe not.
Sen bought a beautiful notebook for her, and felt that Ye Yin refused to say it, and it was not bad to be willing to write, it was better than holding it in my heart. Ye Yin wanted to continue writing "Mottled", but she couldn't write anything.
There is only one sentence in the beautiful notebook at the end, and the love on the spot is better than being worn away over the years. Consumed love is less flavorful than ground coffee, it is more like a distracting monster.
Ye Yin didn't let Sen hug her. Even leaving the hotel in that weak state.
Even if it's just a soothing hug like childhood.
Perhaps, Ye Yin is still awake and knows that a bleeding wound sticks to another piece of skin and tends to grow together. When separated, the intact piece of skin is torn apart. It doesn't matter if the wound continues to be a wound or is a wound again, but intact skin is not guilty.
